Autonomous AI Database Limitations in APEX Service

This section summarizes key restrictions and limitations of Autonomous AI Database in APEX Service.

APEX Service includes an optimized version of Autonomous AI Transaction Processing.

• Restrictions of the Autonomous AI Database included with APEX Service:

  • No support for Oracle AI Database clients. Inbound Oracle Net Services (SQL*Net) connectivity is not available.

  • No ability to store database client connections (SQL*Net) in Connections service.

  • Deployment of the customer managed Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) is not supported.

  • Full and metadata instance (database) cloning is supported, but refreshable clones are not.

  • Oracle Machine Learning (OML) Zeppelin notebook not included.

  • No support for registering as an Oracle DataSafe endpoint. If you upgrade from Always Free Autonomous AI Transaction Processing to APEX Service, and the Autonomous AI Transaction Processing instance was registered as a DataSafe endpoint previously, then the user is required to de-register as part of the upgrade process.

  • Directly accessing the pre-configured REST-SQL endpoint (with URL ending in /sql) is prohibited.

  • Fusion Application integration using the Database Tools service is not supported. You can manually complete the equivalent integration by separately configuring the Fusion identity domain and the APEX Service instance.

  • Graph Studio not included.

  • No support for putting the database in read-only mode.

  • No support for MongoDB compatible APIs.

  • No support for Data Transforms under Data Studio.

• Service packaging and licensing capabilities:

  • No BYOL license type

  • No Dedicated Infrastructure version

  • Not included in Oracle Cloud@Customer offerings

To access the capabilities described in the previous list, upgrade APEX Service to Autonomous AI Transaction Processing.
