Autonomous Database

Develop scalable AI-powered apps with any data using built-in AI capabilities. Use your choice of large language model (LLM) and deploy in the cloud or your data center.

Use natural language to query data in Autonomous Database (1:39)
Announcing generative development (GenDev) for enterprise

Watch the replay of EVP Juan Loaiza’s Oracle CloudWorld keynote to learn about this groundbreaking, AI-centric AppDev infrastructure.

Why Autonomous Database?

Accelerate app innovation with built-in AI and your choice of LLM

  • Use your choice of LLM, open source or proprietary. With Select AI, Autonomous Database automatically translates natural language into database queries and allows you to have a contextual conversation, without any custom coding or manual operations via a complex interface.
  • Easily enable retrieval augmented generation (RAG) across your proprietary documents in various formats with the built-in vector store.
  • Harness integrated AI services and in-database machine learning (ML) to enhance your apps with text and image analysis, speech recognition, or personalized recommendations.

Increase your app development velocity with one database that does it all

  • Quickly react to business demands by using a single data platform that can meet all your needs, without integrating new databases. Autonomous Database allows you to use SQL, JSON documents, graph, geospatial, text, and vectors in a single database to rapidly build new features.
  • Build apps for any workload, and even generate apps without writing code.
  • Use the same Oracle Database, fully automated and cloud-based.

Workshop: Use SQL, JSON, and graph in the same app

Deploy apps wherever you want at any scale

  • Deploy your apps in the cloud or your data center with OCI’s distributed cloud offerings.
  • Start small while allowing your apps to scale as needed with a database used by the most demanding applications—without rearchitecting your app or overspending on compute resources.
  • Stay focused on AppDev using a database that helps you ensure uptime and safeguard data through automated security measures and continuous monitoring.

Workshop: Enable auto-scaling, security, and HA



Bring AI to your data

  • Get quick insights from your data via contextual conversations in natural language, without complex manual operations.
  • Use LLMs with built-in AI Vector Search and your proprietary data to get more accurate answers. There’s no need to duplicate data to a separate vector database.
  • Rapidly build and deploy machine learning models in-database at scale—even without any coding.

Use self-service tools for every need

  • Simply drag and drop to load and transform data; no need to call IT.
  • Automatically discover hidden patterns without manually exploring your data.
  • Visually answer difficult questions using built-in graph and spatial analytics.

Explore self-service data tools

Reduce complexity and costs

  • Use one database for all data formats, instead of integrating and managing separate databases.
  • Build a data lake in-database at object storage pricing, reducing complexity and latency.
  • Scale up and down according to your actual needs, not via rigid, fixed-size instances that force you to spend more than necessary.

Lower costs using one fully automated database

  • Automate manual administrative tasks such as provisioning, backups, and monitoring.
  • Use one database optimized for all workloads and data formats. No need to purchase, integrate, and manage specialty databases.
  • Scale databases up and down according to your actual needs, not via rigid, fixed-size instances that force you to spend more than necessary.

Empower your developer community and business teams with AI

  • Let developers and analysts easily interact with data using natural language. No integrations or cumbersome manual operations required.
  • Enable retrieval augmented generation (RAG) across your proprietary data with built-in AI Vector Search.
  • Provide developers and data scientists with the tools they need to build ML models—without moving data.
