"Dafür habe ich keine Zeit, lass uns das automatisieren". Klingt einfach. Ist es aber nicht immer. 😉

💡 An unexpected use case for Oracle's VALUES clause-building SQL scripts!
Instead of maintaining strings or repetitive UNION ALL queries VALUES lets you create inline tables and turn them into SQL commands.
A fun little SQL trick using GRANT statements:

Don't worry, we are actively working on GraalVM within our own distribution like we aways did, with releases shipping as scheduled, and major projects, such as Crema, Layers, and others coming along nicely. See also xitter.cf/thomaswue/status/21000…
The @GraalVM team at Oracle continues to develop the Java JIT compiler in Java based on JVMCI as part of the GraalVM open source project. In the future, it will just not be supported in HotSpot, but will continue to have support in SubstrateVM. The removal of JVMCI is specific to OpenJDK.

I was today <n> years old when I finally noticed the much enhanced markdown editor in @code. This sure will come in handy!

What's the difference between a converged database and multi-model database? 🤔
This article uses runnable tests, not just product claims, to break things down. social.ora.cl/6010BEKQZe

At the moment AI created PRs seem to be a nightmare of noise for some OSS projects. But let’s assume we fix that.
One way perhaps the industry can find a new way to invest into OSS is a way to donate unused tokens towards features they want to sponsor.

When you create a VECTOR index, one of the strange concepts is that you specify an ACCURACY level for the index. Why would an index NOT be accurate? Let's explore conceptually why this makes sense for Vector indexes.

What is a converged database?
It's a single database engine that natively supports multiple data models under one optimizer, one transaction boundary, one consistency model, and one security and governance domain, exposed through the access surfaces developers expect, including SQL, document APIs, and REST.
Take an in-depth look at what that means in the context of Oracle AI Database, the five testable criteria, and some AI use cases. social.ora.cl/6017BEKtdF
