Lots of user submitted issues have been added to the post, taken from comments and social media feedback. Let's hope the feedback is being seen.

We have approval to release Oracle AI Database 26ai on non-Oracle hardware for deployment on-premises!

The wait is (nearly) over!

Oracle AI Database 26ai EE for Linux x86-64 will be released on premises in the next RU (23.26.1), due January 2026

Finally … Oracle AI Database 26ai is going to be available on non-Oracle hardware Many of you have read my blog post from October during Oracle AI World in Las Vegas about Oracle AI Database 26ai replacing Oracle Database 23ai. But the main question remained: When is it available on-prem on non-Oracle hardware? It's December now, and Christmas is coming soon, it is time for presents. Yes, finally ...

ORA-43907: Potential behavior change with Oracle RU 19.28.0 As I said multiple times, we have the best and most knowledgeable customers out there. Julian Frey is one of them, and there is a good and legit reason why he is an ACE Director since (I think) two years. Julian alerted me the other day about an ORA-43907: Potential behavior change with Oracle RU 19.28.0. And I guess, some of you would like to learn about this, too.

If you patch your enterprise Manager to Enterprise Manager 24ai Release 1 Update 5 please be aware that the REST Endpoints for SQL and SQL at targets are enabled! If you do not need them, I strongly recommend to disable these!

You don't have to wait on RU05 😉 was released in RU04 yesterday...

@julianfrey.ch on stage at #OCYatra25 today in Pune, India, doing a great job explaining how to use the Oracle REST API as a DBA in a full (luckily A/Ced) room.

@thatjeffsmith.com would be proud on him certainly!!

It's ceremonial head wear day in Pune for @aioug.bsky.social @oracleace.bsky.social Yatra

Oracle Enterprise Manager has a new AI-powered sibling. Hype? Hope? Or the real deal?

Join @julianfrey.ch at the #POUG2025, as he puts EM 24ai under the microscope.

On my way to Yatra

Is on the enhancement list for 24.1.0.3 😉

Haven't found that "new feature" yet:
37968855: EM "Ask EM" Genai Chatbot Feature

If you're already on Enterprise Manager 24ai, happy patching🥳🥳
@oracleace.bsky.social

Looking forward for the coffee☕☕

Saying goodbye to my beautiful neighbors in Rust, Germany to drive from #APEXconn25 to Milan for #ITOUG25 with a short stop to have a coffee with dear friend @julianfrey.ch in Switserland.

Life could be worse.

and don't forget to patch the OMSPatcher to A version

And a looooooooot of bugs fixed...

I'm more scared of @luizafrompoland.bsky.social ...

During #POUG agenda preparation every year, the light fights with the dark.

@ora600pl.bsky.social: we need to have more sessions this year
@luizafrompoland.bsky.social: I was about to say we need to have less

Who is light? Who is dark? Choose your fighter.

ust realized that there is the first patch for EM24ai available: 24.1.0.1. (37466946)

Happy patching🥳
