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 Oracle adb_tp.

• 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 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 Oracle adb_tp to APEX Service, and the Oracle adb_tp instance was registered as a DataSafe endpoint previously, then the user is required to de-register as part of the upgrade process.

  • No ability to set up Autonomous Data Guard standbys.

  • 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 Oracle adb_tp.
