The best Oracle News for FY2026

Oracle Database 26ai will be available on generic Linux platforms in January and soon on AIX and Windows
Purpose This package is only a specification used to define constants. The constants are the definitions of the object types that are used as parameter datatypes in extensibility routines used for extensible indexing/statistics and external tables. According to Oracle the following ODCIExtTable related definitions should not be documented (internal use only).
