Upgrading Oracle Autonomous AI Database with Cross-Region Data Guard from 19c to 26ai – Bijoos OracleNotes Bijoos OracleNotes

Is the upgrade to Oracle Database 26ai really as easy as clicking a button? 🤔

I tested it on an environment with Cross-Region Data Guard. Here is exactly what happened and how long it took.

Hier nochmals wie Palantir während 7 Jahren erfolglos versucht hat ihre Überwachungssoftware der Schweiz zu verkaufen und von der Armee als Sicherheitsrisiko eingestuft wurde.

The February 2026 release of AutoUpgrade (26.2) is available This is a ground-breaking new release of AutoUpgrade, and the team worked hard to release it last weekend. This means for you that you should renew your AutoUpgrade tools as The February 2026 release of AutoUpgrade (26.2) is available now for download. 1..2..3..4..5..0 ... In case you wonder about this cryptic headline, no worries. Stefan Panek from TK smiled at me yesterday and said: "You've picked one of the best possible MOS note numbers in the new portal!".

What has happened to the 19.29 and 19.30 RUs? Many of you mailed us asking why AutoUpgrade does not download 19.29 or 19.30 RUs anymore. Others just noticed that the RUs got pulled without further communication visible. And a few people informed me about an issue with the 19.30 RU when you don't have OJVM configured but install the OJVM bundle. So, what has happened to the 19.29 and 19.30 RUs??

Will you have some "downtime" between Christmas and New Year?

How about using that time to learn how to upgrade your database to Oracle AI Database 26ai and be ready for the January release?

I’m compiling high-quality material in this blog post.
