Oracle AI Database 26ai Free available for download.

www.oracle.com/database/fre...

I've done my first install.
"Oracle AI Database 26ai Free Release 23.26.0.0.0"
Last Friday I had the honor of taking part in the jubilee concert celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Pruszkowianka Wind Orchestra.
Great band and an unforgettable evening.

"This section is not visible to customers"
Not really.
Looks like it's not available anymore, my SR regarding this was closed with something like "Internal bug was submitted for investigation, but hey, we got that alternate features "Look-up By Error or Error Code's First Argument" or "Search by Stack Trace" added which replace it.
For real?🤦‍♂️
ORA-600/ORA-7445 Troubleshooting tools on MOS are not working for me - at least since yesterday.
I just hate OEDA. You can't use it offline despite what the readme says (no, it doesn't save js libraries) and it's so damn bugged it's impossible to get what you need.
AHF 25.7 is marked as obsolete and cannot be downloaded. It's the latest available version. You can download it directly from the AHF Doc ID 2550798.1, but there are no checksums there.
WTH?
MOS AI assistant does that too:
bsky.app/profile/pewu...
Have you seen new AI assisted search on MOS?
I can see the potential here, but...
Why 21c?
Why fixed 280px answer area size? (increased it in console for the screenshot so you can see it all)
And who can first spot where it hmm... let it's imagination run wild and misleads us?
I got "There has been a critical error on this website." message only for a long time when visiting your blog.
OK, looks like it's not mentioned directly in changelog.
What version of AU introduced that (and other home_settings options)?
That's even more complicated, it changed in the past over the versions - it worked, then not without some workarounds, as of now it's fixed after my SR.
Full story here:

Finally, after 8 months of waiting the #SQLcl 25.2 release fixes this issue.
It took me great effort to fill the SR, deal with the clueless person handling it for several months, escalate, etc. to reach this goal. To just get back to where it was working in 24.1.
Should be happy but I'm more tired.
...and unfortunately that was the case with SQLcl 21.1 up to 24.1, but since 24.2 it is not working anymore and requires additional ?tns_admin= connection parameter ☹️
@thatjeffsmith.com @martindba.bsky.social - can anyone look at this regression?
Cannot open SQLcl from SQLDev due to this error, but I can connect successfully from the edit connection window as the password field is not checked for content there.
For me just released SQLDev 25.2.2 finally started to work, I can now connect without getting some error and what's more even secure external password store (oracle wallet) connection type started to work! The only issue is when trying to connect from connections list, it expects to enter password.

And turns out the connection to source CDB SID is redirected to the hostname of new CDB, but to the management name not VIP so not working properly too. But anyway why CDB when it's PDB that's being relocated?!?
Either way it screws up EM monitoring and backups.
It's all a mess.
PDB services are running, local listener reports them but scans not, so connections are refused with ORA-12514. LISTENER_NETWORKS is not updated, no chance of connection forwarding. On top of that ORA-00600 [krbbbdr_bad_guid] occurs during backup of tombstone PDB files supposedly due to Bug 36534336
Trying to make PDB relocation in availability max mode working (Doc ID 2771737.1) and it's a mess. PDB relocates successfully, but after opening it source CDB logs following error in alert.log: "ORA-12792: Network transfer operation aborted due to TTC error 3111".
On a downside what hasn't changed is #SQLcl still defaults to thick connection on Windows, even with no client present in path/env, while on Linux it's opposite. Why? 🤷‍♂️
Reported it also in the same SR to no effect...
For reference this thread describes my initial findings: bsky.app/profile/pewu...
I dedicate my first tech post to my first follower :)
#SQLcl 24.3 brings new interesting feature for CI/CD - the 'project' command - which I'll definitely test, but for now I'm happy to see inclusion of 23 JDBC driver which finally aligns well with e.g. instant client 23.5 (no more version mismatch)
Another thing worth to mention is #SQLcl now seems to be not so much dependant on JDBC driver version when using thick connection and works with any 23 client (tested IC 23.5-23.8) as long as it's in the path. I don't find the selected excerpt from release notes to be true, it doesn't work that way.
