How Oracle Database Is Evolving into an AI Ready Data Platform

For many years, databases were mainly used to store and retrieve data. Today, with the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), databases are expected to do much more. Oracle Database is evolving to meet this demand by becoming an AI ready data platform, where data storage, analytics, and AI capabilities are incorporated together.

Traditional databases required data to be moved out to external tools for machine learning and AI processing. This often caused performance issues, higher costs, and security concerns. Oracle Database changes this by allowing AI and machine learning to run directly inside the database, close to the data, which is known as "in-database machine learning".

Oracle Machine Learning (OML) provides built-in machine learning algorithms. These algorithms can be used with SQL, making it easy for database developers and analysts to adopt AI without learning complex new tools.

Below is a simple example.

Step 1: Creating the Model

BEGIN

  DBMS_DATA_MINING.CREATE_MODEL(

    model_name          => 'test_model',

    mining_function     => DBMS_DATA_MINING.CLASSIFICATION,

    data_table_name     => 'test_data',

    case_id_column_name => 'test_id',

    target_column_name  => 'test_c',

    settings_table_name => 'mod_settings'

  );

END;

/


Step 2: Model Parameters  & Settings Table

INSERT INTO mod_settings VALUES (DBMS_DATA_MINING.ALGO_NAME, DBMS_DATA_MINING.ALGO_DECISION_TREE);

INSERT INTO mod_settings VALUES (DBMS_DATA_MINING.PREP_AUTO, DBMS_DATA_MINING.PREP_AUTO_ON);


Step 3: Using the Model for Prediction

SELECT test_id, PREDICTION(test_model USING *) AS test_prediction FROM test_data;


With just SQL, users can build and apply machine learning models without moving data outside the database.

Oracle Database is also evolving to support Generative AI use cases. With vector data types and vector search, Oracle can store embeddings and perform semantic searches.

Running AI inside the database improves performance and reduces latency. Since data does not need to be copied to external systems, sensitive information remains protected. 

Oracle Database also provides strong security, access control, and governance, which are critical for enterprise AI and responsible AI practices.

Building Continuous Data Trust with Oracle GoldenGate Veridata 26c

Today I'll discus on how we can build continuous data trust with Oracle GoldenGate Veridata 26c! As we accelerate towards hybrid and multi cloud architectures , one challenge keep coming up. That is "H ow do you trust your data across all these platforms?" With increasing data movement, replication, and transformation, even small changes can lead to major business risks. This is where Oracle GoldenGate Veridata 26c comes in handy! Rather than just validating data occasionally, the focus now is on continuous data trust . What is Veridata? It is a tool to compare data across different systems. It ensures source and target databases are in sync. It works during , Data migration, Replication setups, Ongoing operations. What’s new in Veridata 26c? 1. Support for Modern Architectures Built for hybrid, multi-cloud, and lakehouse environments with support for heterogeneous databases. 2. Continuous Data Validation Enables ongoing validation to detect data drift and inconsisten...

Bring AI to Data , A Smarter Way with Oracle!

  “Bring AI to Data” is a term I recently heard during the Oracle AI World in Singapore last week and it really caught my attention. It sounded simple but the idea behind it is quite powerful. So I thought it’s worth exploring a bit more! Normally, working with data and AI meant one thing, which is, moving data around. We would extract data from databases, send it to external tools or platforms, build machine learning models and then push the results back into the database. But this approach adds complexity, increases costs and introduces security risks. But now, Oracle is changing that model by bringing AI to where the data already is ! The concept of “Bring AI to Data” is straightforward but powerful. Instead of moving large volumes of data across systems, Oracle allows you to run AI and machine learning directly inside the database. This means that data do not have to leave its secure environment. This results faster processing, reduced data duplication, improved security ...

Why Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is powering the Next Generation of Enterprise Innovation

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a modern cloud platform designed to help businesses run their applications faster, safer, and at lower cost. It supports companies of all sizes in moving their workloads to the cloud with confidence. OCI is built for high performance. Its advanced architecture allows applications, databases, and workloads to run smoothly with low latency. This makes it suitable for business critical systems, data analytics, and enterprise applications. Security is a core feature of Oracle Cloud. Data is encrypted by default, and strong identity and access controls help protect systems from threats. OCI also meets global compliance standards, making it a trusted choice for regulated industries. Oracle Cloud works especially well with Oracle databases and applications, offering better performance and efficiency. At the same time, it supports open source tools and technologies, allowing organizations to use the platforms and frameworks they already know. Oracle Cloud...
