Oracle Core Technologies in Detail
Oracle AI Database 26ai26ai
The next generation of Oracle Database unites relational SQL strength with native AI capabilities directly in the database kernel.
- Native AI Pipeline: vector generation, embedding models and LLM inference run directly in the database – no data movement to external systems
- AI Vector Search: semantic similarity search on millions of vectors with HNSW and IVF indexes, combinable with classic SQL queries
- Select AI: natural language queries via the SQL interface – business users ask questions, the database automatically generates the matching SQL
- In-Database ML: AutoML, ONNX model import and SQL-based scoring without Python infrastructure
- JSON Relational Duality: the same data as relational tables and JSON documents simultaneously – one source, two views
Oracle Database Appliance ODA
Pre-configured all-in-one platform with server, storage and Oracle database software – for SMEs and Enterprise.
- Integrated stack: compute, storage and Oracle DB software in one device – no separate SAN or Grid setup required
- Automated lifecycle management via ODACLI: provisioning, patching and upgrades via command line or browser UI
- Integrated KVM virtualisation: multiple DB instances on one ODA, resource-optimised without VMware licensing costs
- Models for every need: ODA Lite (SME), ODA S/M (mid-market), ODA HA (Enterprise with RAC One Node)
- Ideal for the DACH market: certified hardware, Oracle Premier Support, predictable TCO without infrastructure complexity
Oracle Data Guard DG / ADG
Primary and standby database synchronised in real time – disaster recovery with near-zero RPO.
- Physical Standby (Redo Apply): byte-identical copy of the primary – fastest failover, minimal RPO/RTO
- Active Data Guard (ADG): standby remains readable while redo is applied – reporting offload without extra licence on primary
- Protection modes: Maximum Protection (synchronous, zero data loss) · Maximum Availability · Maximum Performance
- Fast-Start Failover (FSFO): automatic failover without manual intervention under configurable conditions
- Far Sync: redo forwarding instance between primary and remote standby eliminates data loss over large distances
Oracle RMAN & Backup Strategy RMAN
Consistent data protection for Oracle environments – from RMAN to Data Pump to ZDLRA.
- RMAN concepts: full/incremental backup, block change tracking, compressed backups – optimally aligned to RPO and RTO
- Data Pump: logical exports/imports for migrations, partial backups and tablespace transports
- ZDLRA (Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance): near-zero RPO for enterprise environments with automatic validation
- Flashback technologies: Query, Database, Table – fast recovery without a full restore
- Integration with third-party solutions: Veeam, Veritas NetBackup, Commvault – platform-independent backup architecture
