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.
Announcing Oracle Database 23ai: Bring AI to your data
Larry Ellison and Juan Loaiza discuss the GenAI strategy behind Oracle Database 23ai.
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.
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.
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.
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.

-
“The result of using platforms with autonomous qualities is that they improve the developer experience: Developers can spend more time coding and/or more time learning, increasing their skills, relevance, and marketability.”
Holger Mueller
Vice President and Principal Analyst, Constellation Research -
“With Select AI, Oracle is first-to-market with a generally available capability for organizations to have a contextual dialogue with their private, proprietary data—intuitively. It’s so simple that organizations of all sizes can use it immediately, placing Autonomous Database with generative AI at the forefront of data platform innovations.”
Ron Westfall
Research Director, The Futurum Group -
“Autonomous JSON is the product that MongoDB hopes to have in the next decade. With Full ACID, full parallel analytics, fast updates, open standards-based JSON, full indexing, and support for everything from blockchain to spatial to graph, Oracle is helping MongoDB developers leap into the future.”
Marc Staimer
Senior IT Analyst, Wikibon -
“By building a single, multimodel database, automating the management of that database, and then breaking out best-of-breed functionality, Oracle has engineered a seemingly future-proof data platform capable of meeting customers where they are and making life easier for developers and accelerating the pace of application development, both now and in the future.”
