Austin (Texas): Oracle Database 23ai, the latest release of Oracle's converged database, is now generally available as a broad range of cloud services.

This long-term support release includes Oracle AI Vector Search and more than 300 additional major features focused on simplifying the use of AI with data, accelerating app development, and running mission-critical workloads.

The new AI Vector Search capabilities enable customers to securely combine search for documents, images, and other unstructured data with search on private business data, without moving or duplicating it.

Oracle Database 23ai brings AI algorithms to where the data lives, instead of having to move the data to where the AI algorithm lives. This allows AI to run in real-time in Oracle databases, and greatly improves the effectiveness, efficiency, and security of AI, the software major said.

Oracle Database 23ai Features

Oracle Database 23ai is available in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) on Oracle Exadata Database Service, Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer and Oracle Base Database Service, as well as on Oracle Database@Azure.

New capabilities in Oracle Database 23ai include Oracle AI Vector Search, Oracle Exadata System Software 24ai and OCI GoldenGate 23ai under AI for Data, JSON Relational Unification, Graph Relational Unification and Free Developer Databases under Accelerating App Development, and Oracle Globally Distributed Database with RAFT, Oracle True Cache and In-Database SQL Firewall under Mission-Critical Data.

"Oracle Database 23ai is a game changer for enterprises worldwide, and because of the importance of the breakthrough AI technology in this release, we are renaming it to Oracle Database 23ai," said Juan Loaiza, Executive Vice President, Mission-Critical Database Technologies, Oracle.

"AI Vector Search combined with new unified development paradigms and mission-critical capabilities makes it simple for developers and data professionals to build intelligent apps, increase developer productivity, and run mission-critical workloads", Loaiza added.

Carl Olofson, Research Vice President, Data Management Software, IDC said Oracle Database 23ai provides an integrated set of functionality and provide an all-in-one solution.

"The rise of generative AI has seen a renewed emphasis on vector databases as a highly efficient means of searching data, both in unstructured and structured sources. However, as we know from experience, isolated databases become yet another data resource to manage and keep synchronized," he said.

"With the need to fine tune LLMs with business data using RAG techniques, out-of-date data is not acceptable. Oracle Database 23ai aims to solve this problem by enabling the coordination of vectors with customer's data using AI Vector Search.

"It provides an integrated set of functionality customers need to ground their generative AI, keeping the content current and relevant as they move from projects to production, leveraging all the advances inherent in the database. With generative AI innovations in Oracle Database 23ai, and specifically with AI Vector Search, Oracle has given customers a great leap forward, providing an all-in-one solution", he added.
