Amazon RDS for Oracle now supports July 2026 Supplemental Patch Bundle in Amazon Web Services China Regions
Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle now supports the Supplemental Patch Bundle (SPB) for the July 2026 Release Update (RU) for Oracle Database version 19c and 26ai in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. Starting this April 2026 releases, the Spatial Patch Bundle has been renamed to Supplemental Patch Bundle. The Supplemental Patch Bundle (SPB) is an engine version that includes additional database patches recommended by Oracle for specific use cases, such as Oracle Spatial, Oracle Data Pump, and Oracle GoldenGate.
You can apply the Supplemental Patch Bundle update for new database instances or upgrade existing instances to engine version 19.0.0.0.ru-2026-07.spb-1.r1 or 26.0.0.0.ru-2026-07.spb-1.r1 by selecting the "Supplemental Patch Bundle Engine Versions" checkbox in the Amazon RDS Management Console.
You can use Organizations upgrade rollout policy to stagger automatic minor version upgrades for your Amazon RDS database instances such that automatic minor version upgrades are first applied to non-production environments, allowing you time to validate before the upgrades are applied to production environments. For additional details, refer to Amazon RDS for Oracle documentation on using Amazon Organizations upgrade rollout policy for automatic minor version upgrades.
