Enable yum package installations in the Oracle Database App Development VM Virtualbox appliance
There was a time when installing the latest version of Oracle on a laptop was rather time-consuming and fiddly.These days however, you can spin up an Oracle database playground in minutes using VirtualBox. Oracle even provide pre-built environments in the form of Virtualbox Appliances which can be found here. Having spent some quality time with the current Oracle Database App Development appliance (Oracle Database 23AI Free running on Oracle Linux 8.8), I decided that it would be handy if I could make use of the SQLDeveloper VSCode extension within the VM.

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!".

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??

This was a long wait - and finally, it's there - Oracle AI Database 26ai is available for download on-prem.

You can download now the Linux version of Oracle AI Database 26ai Enterprise Edition, 23.26.1.0.0, from the usual sources as a Gold Image include the RU or as a separate RU.
