Oracle STANDARD
Version 26ai

General Information
Library Note Morgan's Library Page Header
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 Essentially every Oracle built-in function, package, procedure, and type is dependent on the STANDARD package. You can not do much more than stare at the command-line without interacting with this package. This page, and the header source code, are a great way to begin digging into the internals.

It is important when looking at the contents of STANDARD to understand that Oracle has intentionally exposed most of the contents for general use but protected others: Here is an example of the later.

ROWID 1 Here's what Oracle's source code states:

-- ROWID: this dreadful identifier is supposed to represent a
-- datatype outside of SQL and and a pseudo-column (function, to
-- us) when inside a sql statement. ADA data model doesn't allow
-- for any function X return X;
-- so we must special case this. Yuk. There's special-case code
-- in ph2nre which maps "rowid" to "rowid " if we're inside a SQL stmt.
function "ROWID " RETURN ROWID;
pragma builtin('ROWID ', 1, 209, 240); -- this had better never be called.

I suspect this warning should be taken seriously though it does beg the question of why it was exposed.
The comments, of course, are the reward for reading these files.
