Amazon RDS for Oracle now supports Oracle Database 26ai
Amazon RDS for Oracle now supports Oracle Database 26ai, Oracle's latest Long Term Support Release. Oracle Database 26ai includes Oracle AI Vector Search for storing vector embeddings alongside relational data and performing semantic similarity and hybrid searches without a separate vector database, JSON-Relational Duality Views for accessing the same underlying data as either JSON documents or relational tables, and SQL Property Graphs for in-database graph analytics.
You can create new DB instances running Oracle Database 26ai or upgrade from Oracle Database 19c or 21c container databases (CDBs). Oracle Database 26ai is available in Enterprise Edition only. To create a new Oracle Database 26ai instance, use the Amazon Management Console, Amazon CLI, or Amazon SDK and select an Oracle 26.0.0.0 engine version. To upgrade existing Oracle Database 19c or 21c CDB instances, use the Modify DB Instance workflow and select a 26.0.0.0 engine version. If your DB instance runs Oracle Database 19c as a non-CDB, you must first convert it to the CDB architecture before upgrading to 26ai. For more information, see Converting a non-CDB to a CDB.
Amazon RDS for Oracle Database 26ai is available in the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. For more information, see Oracle Database 26ai with Amazon RDS.
