 The release of Oracle AI Database 26ai marks a significant evolution—not just for AI inside the database, but also for Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) . While the core RAC architecture remains consistent with 23ai, 26ai introduces AI-driven intelligence, automation, and resilience improvements that directly enhance clustered database environments. This blog explores the key RAC-relevant innovations and how they reshape high availability, scalability, and performance. 1. AI-Native RAC – Intelligent Cluster Operations Oracle 26ai transforms RAC into an AI-aware platform : Built-in AI models and vector capabilities run directly inside the database No need to move data to external AI engines Supports semantic search and embeddings across RAC nodes his means: AI workloads can scale horizontally across RAC nodes Reduced data movement → lower latency and higher efficiency Oracle calls this shift an AI-native database architecture , embedding intelligence directl...
