Oracle 23ai – The World’s First AI-Native Database

(Technology Analyst)

Oracle has done it again! With the release of Oracle Database 23ai, the tech world is witnessing a revolutionary leap in how enterprise data is managed, processed, and transformed using artificial intelligence. Here’s your exclusive peek into the most exciting features and facts about this next-gen database:

number10

World’s First AI-Native Database

Oracle 23ai is the first database built natively with AI and for AI. It seamlessly integrates vector search, in-database machine learning, and generative AI, empowering developers and data scientists to build intelligent applications without moving data outside the database.

number11

Vector Search Built-In

23ai introduces native vector data types and search capabilities. With support for Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) searches, you can now build semantic search and GenAI-powered applications directly in Oracle SQL.

number12

AI + SQL = Unmatched Power

Developers can now combine traditional SQL queries with AI vector search. Oracle 23ai bridges structured and unstructured data queries, letting you search across text, images, videos, and audio using natural language.

number13

Built-in Security & Governance

Unlike traditional AI pipelines that require data to be exported for training or inference, 23ai allows it to happen inside the database, ensuring zero data leakage, full audit trails, and strict compliance - a massive plus for regulated industries.

number14

GenAI + Private Data = Gamechanger

Oracle 23ai allows private enterprise data to be used safely with Large Language Models (LLMs), offering context-aware GenAI responses powered by your own data — not just public internet training sets.

Multimodal Magic: JSON, Graph, Spatial, and Now Vectors

Oracle 23ai supports JSON, graph, spatial, relational, and now vector data types. You can model and query all of them in one place. It’s truly a converged database that keeps everything under one roof.

number16

Developer-First: APIs, Not Just SQL

Oracle knows developers want flexibility - so 23ai exposes capabilities via REST APIs, Python, Java, and even popular open-source ML tools. It's designed to play nice in modern app stacks.

number17

Real-Time AI Apps Made Easy

Build apps with real-time personalization, recommendations, and anomaly detection without needing a data lake, ETL, or external AI engines. Your database is now your AI engine.

number18

Hugely Optimized for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)

Oracle 23ai takes full advantage of OCI's AI infrastructure, offering GPU-powered performance, massive scalability, and Autonomous Database features for minimal admin overhead.

10

The Future is Now – Available Today

Oracle 23ai is production-ready and available on Oracle Autonomous Database, Oracle Exadata, and Oracle Cloud@Customer, making it accessible across all enterprise architectures.
