Finally...

It's here at last!

Oracle AI Database 26ai (23.26.1) Enterprise Edition for Linux x86-64 on premises is GA

Once again, there's a host of #SQL updates in this RU. Here are a few to get you started:

You have a weird definition of the word "friend"

I can hardly wait to get my hands on this.....

Software quality – Grok and my friend’s boat You might be wondering how a friend’s boat has any relation to the topic of software quality, but bear with me – we’ll get there in a second. But first, if you’ve got a Twit…

"It doesn't matter if AI spoke to an Agent which spoke to your Uncle Mike whose used his iPad to inscribe COBOL onto a parchment that was attached to a carrier pigeon...It is still your code"

Also, without exception, while creating that MVP the definition of "Minimal" shifts into something completely different than I was ever taught.

Tiny but mighty new SQLcl feature Last week, a new version of SQLcl was released, SQLcl 25.4. The release contains a lot of cool new features, but there is one tiny one in it that came thanks to yours truly. Of course, I can only take credit for filing an enhancement request, tracking down the Dev manager, and pestering him until he kindly agreed. And truthfully, it didn't really involve pestering.

Best Christmas 2025 present ever! 🙌

The new #SQLcl release brings a tiny but mighty new feature! Goodbye pesky little line numbers! 🧹

A shoutout to the SQLcl Dev team to get this in! 👍

You're trying to tell me, when I retire I'm still expected to waste my time on other people?
In that case I'd better continue to keep working. At least I'll get paid for that nonsense.

Oracle SQLcl Version 25.4 is available, NOW.

Improvements for both 👩‍💻 and 🤖!

I'm very much hoping it wil be in 23.26.1

I ... am ... pumped....

Full house for @evrocs.bsky.social talking about sqlcl at #DOUGDay2025

@oracleace.bsky.social @sym42.bsky.social

Developers' track at #DOUGDay2025 is very popular. It must be because of the topic - SQLcl - or the speaker @evrocs.bsky.social

@oracleace.bsky.social @sym42.bsky.social

The developer track of #DOUGDay2025 starts of with @evrocs.bsky.social explaining all about #SQL Macros

What an afternoon we had at Dushanbe American Space!
Students and young professionals, full of energy and curiosity, did not stop asking questions.
Thank you Rustam Khodjaev for inviting us!

😢 Such a pity

Two weeks from today I'll be talkinig about SQL Macros at #HrOUG2025 in Rovinj, Croatia.
That alone should be enough to attend 😁
But apart from that there are loads of other speakers and since it's the 30th (!!!) time, I expect a lot of celebration as well.
There may still be time to get a ticket!

Subtly downgrade a band:

Veggie Loaf

At @pougorg.bsky.social #poug2025 for some reason nobody overruns their session.
Well, not more than once anyway.

And so, the 10th @pougorg.bsky.social #POUG25 starts.
The axeman @ora600pl.bsky.social opening the celebratory champagne bottle the only logical way.
If you don't hear from me again know that I went out having the best of times!

#POUG2025

You see that bench?
Sit on it and stay quiet.
I'll pick you up september 2026.
