Are #OracleAIDatabase #26ai autonomous databases not yet caught up with the new version numbering? (i.e., 23.26.0)? I just created a new 26ai autonomous database, but it looks like the version is an October 2025 RU update to 23.10.0.25.10 instead?
OK, this is supposed to include Autonomous? I just created an "always free" 26ai database; but the version shows as 23.10.x.x.x instead of 23.26.0? Thanks.
Is this some BlueSky or AI automation that reposts? Reposting about an old version of SD doesn't seem that helpful.
I was behind this city bus over the weekend, and I suspect this marketing campaign is going to backfire.
I remember seeing Weird Al in his early years -- touring with Doctor Demento, his mentor, at an Iowa City dive bar in the early 80s.
Currently hanging out in 6-dimensional space. I guess I'm about 114.99 dimension-units from home. #OracleDatabase #23ai
I did this with 23.7 in the pre-built VirtualBox appliance:

alter system set inmemory_force=base_level scope=spfile;
alter system set inmemory_size=256m scope=spfile;

Of course there is only so much memory to work with, but I see this at the PDB level:

Use code. No token tumbling. I know you need tokens to think.

I see that the OP provided the good and bad plans -- is there any other further answer to their question about plan stability?
Things were going great today until cell storage offloading broke on #Oracle #Exadata again. 😡 I HATE when that happens.
A1 is getting so powerful these days.
I am attributing much of my success using #OracleDatabase this week to "Vibe Querying".
I'll never tire of taking an #Oracle database query that runs for hours and never finishes, making a minor tweak to the query structure, then seeing it run in a few seconds on #Exadata.
#twit @twit.tv #SecurityNow How I watch Twit shows! On the way to work or back home. Of course I don't take my eyes off the road, execept when Steve shows the picture of the week. 📷
Is Tushar on the tech support team or in sales?
💰💰💰😢
Apparently Tushar also forgot to ask about instances in Google Cloud too. 😮
(realizing this after 50 years while heating something up in the microwave):
OF COURSE it's not "bad luck" that an accidentally dropped buttered slice of toast falls butter side down most of the time. DUH center of gravity and density.
At first I thought it was a waterlogged bagel.
Apparently a lot of people like "smooth jazz". Is there another group of jazz enthusiasts who like "rough jazz"? 🤔
There are so many of them they had to join tables. Of course, in this case the tables can be joined with a database link but finishing a conversation took a lot longer than expected because of the high latency between each of the cloud providers even when they're in the same alcohol domain (AD).
