• Open Bugs Affecting All Platforms
This section describes known bugs in Oracle Database 23ai that affect all platforms.

Restrictions for Oracle AI Vector Search

The following are restrictions for Oracle AI Vector Search in Oracle Database 23ai.
• The feature Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) is only supported on the x86-64
Linux platform. It is not supported on Microsoft Windows.
• To size the Vector Pool, use the VECTOR_MEMORY_SIZE initialization parameter. You can
dynamically modify this parameter at the following levels:
– At the multitenant container database (CDB) level, VECTOR_MEMORY_SIZE specifies the
current size of the Vector Pool. Reducing the parameter value evicts vector usage that
exceeds the new size.
– At the pluggable database (PDB), level VECTOR_MEMORY_SIZE specifies the maximum
Vector Pool usage allowed by a PDB. Reducing the parameter value evicts vector
usage that exceeds the new quota.
• Table-Level Support
– Truncate or move table operations are supported but will mark global vector indexes
unusable.

2-1
 Chapter 2
Restrictions for Oracle AI Vector Search

– Partition management (PMOP) operations (for example, DROP, TRUNCATE, EXCHANGE,

MERGE, MOVE, COALESCE, and SPLIT) are supported but will mark global vector indexes
unusable.
– Adding a hash partition will also mark global vector indexes unusable. However,
adding a range or list partition will not mark global vector indexes unusable.
– Vector columns are not supported either in or as the following:
* External tables
* Index organized tables (IOTs) (neither as a primary key or as a non-key column)
* Clusters or cluster tables
* Global temporary tables
* Blockchain tables
* Immutable tables
* Partitioning and subpartitioning keys
* Primary and foreign keys

create vectors as BasicFiles in MSSM tablespace)
* Continuous Query Notification (CQN) queries
* Non-vector indexes such as B-tree, bitmap, reverse key, text, spatial indexes
– For local Inverted Flat File (IVF) indexes:
* ADD non-hash vector indexes are supported but will mark vector indexes unusable.
* All other PMOP operations are not supported and return an error when attempted.
• Type-Level Support
Vector column specification does not support the following:
– Encryption clause
– SecureFiles storage clause
• Query-Level Support
– The partition row-limiting clause does not use vector indexes.
– There is limited cost-based optimization support for vector indexes.
– SQL constructs with vector columns do not support the following:
* Distinct, Count Distinct
* Order By, Group By
* Join condition
* Comparison operators (for example, >, <, =)
• Index-Level Support
– Vector indexes do not support the following:

2-2
 Chapter 2
Restrictions for JavaScript Object Notation and JSON-Relational Duality Views

* IOTs
* Clusters or cluster tables
* Global temporary tables
* Blockchain tables
* Immutable tables

– There is no support for the following:
* Vector index creation on non-vector columns (for example, VARCHAR, NUMBER, and
so on)
* Function-based vector index
* Alter index DDL for vector indexes
* Local partitioned vector indexes
* Online creation of vector indexes
– INMEMORY NEIGHBOR GRAPH restrictions include:
* DMLs are not supported on base tables that have an INMEMORY NEIGHBOR GRAPH
index.
• The latest python-oracledb, node-oracledb, JDBC, ODP.NET, and OCI drivers enable
native binds.
– All other SQL drivers need to use CLOBs or VARCHAR2 for binds and for vector
definitions.
– Oracle clients from release 19c and release 21c will see vectors as CLOBs.
• Integration with the following is not supported:
– Vector indexes with transportable tablespaces are not supported with Oracle Data
Pump.
– Oracle Database Advanced Queuing
– Oracle Database Gateways
• A maximum of 65535 dimensions is supported.
• Data redaction is not supported for the VECTOR data type. Specifically, you cannot:
– Add a data redaction policy on a vector column.
– Alter a table to modify a column to the VECTOR data type if the column has a redaction
policy defined on it.

Restrictions for JavaScript Object Notation and JSON-Relational

Duality Views
The following are general restrictions for JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) and restrictions for
JSON-relational duality views in Oracle Database 23ai.

General Restrictions for JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)

• JSON collection views are not supported in this release.

2-3
 Chapter 2
Restrictions for JavaScript Object Notation and JSON-Relational Duality Views

Restrictions for Oracle GoldenGate Replication of JSON-Relational Duality Views

• Direct loads (INSERT /*+APPEND*/) are downgraded to conventional or serial inserts.
• Oracle Data Pump EXPORT does not export the ENABLE LOGICAL REPLICATION clause in the
CREATE DUALITY VIEW and ALTER DUALITY VIEW statements.
• Executing DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL on a duality view does not show the ENABLE or DISABLE
LOGICAL REPLICATION clause.
• On base tables of a duality view with replication enabled:
– Oracle Data Pump direct path load is downgraded to conventional inserts.
– Direct load (INSERT /*+APPEND*/) is downgraded to conventional or serial inserts.
– Parallel DMLs (PDMLs) are downgraded to conventional inserts.
– Bulk DDLs, like TRUNCATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE PARTITION, return an error.
• Logical replication cannot be enabled on a duality view that has generated fields or a sub-
object without an identifier (for example, primary key, unique key, identity column, or the
field _id).

Restrictions for JSON-Relational Duality Views

• Duality views cannot be created on:
– System-partitioned tables
– Partitioned-extended tables
– Sharded tables
– Views (except editioning views). Views include materialized views and duality views.
– External tables
– Hybrid partitioned tables
– Global or private temporary tables
– Remote tables (for example, tables over database links)
• Updates of duality views across database links are not supported.
• You cannot create a functional index, JSON search index, or JSON multivalue index on the
DATA column of a duality view.
• The use of a JSON search index on the column of an underlying table is not supported.
• Virtual private database (VPD) and Oracle Real Application Security (RAS) on duality
views are not supported.
• VPD on underlying tables are supported only if all statements (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or
SELECT) are included in the policy. However, when all statement types are not included in
the VPD policy, there is no error returned but DML and query results may be unexpected
or may fail.
• Transparent Sensitive Data Protection is not supported with duality views and underlying
tables.
• Table columns of a duality view cannot be redacted if the redacted columns are part of the
ETAG.

2-4
 Chapter 2
Property Graph Features That Work With Oracle Database 23ai

• Because JSON-relational duality views rely on JSON type, a 19c or earlier SQL*Plus client
cannot be used for queries, DML or other SQL operations that use the DATA column which
is of data type JSON.
• Duality views cannot be created on base tables with textual JSON columns (VC2/CLOB/
BLOB with IS-JSON constraint) in the base table.
• The same subquery cannot be used multiple times to define nested JSON structures
(object or array) in the same parent object.
• Fine-grained auditing policies are not supported with duality views.
• DML error logging is not supported with duality views.

Property Graph Features That Work With Oracle Database 23ai

Oracle Graph Server and Client Release 24.3 works with the following Property Graph features
of Oracle Database 23ai.
• Native representation of graphs in Oracle Database.
• Support for the ISO/IEC SQL Property Graph Queries (SQL/PGQ) standard.
• Use JSON collections as a graph data source.
• Use Native Representation of Graphs in Oracle Database with Graph Tools.
See the topics SQL Property Graphs and Visualizing GRAPH_TABLE Queries on SQL
Property Graphs in Oracle Database Graph Developer's Guide for Property Graph.

Unrestricted Bulk Transactions

The following are restrictions for Unrestricted Bulk Transactions in Oracle Database 23ai.
For this release, the Unrestricted Bulk Transactions feature is:
• Not compatible with In-Memory Undo (IMU). IMU is already disabled for Oracle RAC.
• Not compatible with distributed and clusterwide global transactions.

Deprecated and Desupported Features for Oracle Database

Oracle Database 23ai introduces behavior changes for your database in addition to new
features.
Changes in behavior include deprecated and desupported initialization parameters, options,
syntax, and the deprecation and desupport of features and components. For more information,
see the Oracle Database Upgrade Guide.

AI Vector Search Known Bugs

This section describes AI Vector Search known bugs in Oracle Database 23ai that affect all
platforms.

• Bug 36843400

Bug 36843400
UTL_TO_SUMMARY in AI Vector Search is broken for OCI Generative AI in Oracle Database
release 23.6 DB and ADB since the command.cohere model and /summarizeText endpoint
have been retired.
Workaround
The workaround is to either call UTL_TO_GENERATE_TEXT with a prompt to summarize such as
"Generate a summary for the following: ..." or to use a different provider.

JDBC Known Bugs

This section describes JDBC known bugs in Oracle Database 23ai that affect all platforms.

• Bug 36934985

Bug 36934985
When using callable statements with result set cache, the driver returns the same results (the
first results to be cached) for different bind data.
Workaround
If possible, use prepared statements instead of callable statements. Otherwise, disable result
set cache for the query.

Open Bugs Affecting All Platforms

Query Execution Known Bugs

This section describes query execution known bugs in Oracle Database 23ai that affect all
platforms.

• Bug 36953348

Bug 36953348
When the statics gathering query involves an expression (for example, INSERT INTO TARGET
SELECT VECTOR_EMBEDDING FROM src), the expression, VECTOR_EMBEDDING in this example, is
evaluated once to gather statistics on the value and then again when the value is populated
into the target. If the expression is expensive, the repetitive expression evaluation can incur
heavy overhead.
Workaround
If you are experiencing reduced performance while loading data in Oracle Database 23ai
release 23.6, try adding the following SQL hint:

/*+ No_gather_optimizer_statistics */

Upgrade Known Bugs

This section describes Upgrade known bugs in Oracle Database 23ai that affect all platforms.

• Bug 37169626

Bug 37169626
During upgrade, when modifying the types of SQL Monitor type hierarchy, the dictionary tables
for inheritance can get corrupted. This affects some of the types and the data of the related
tables (for example, WRI$_REPT_COMPONENTS). This results in error ORA-30625: method
dispatch on NULL SELF argument is disallowed when SQL Monitor APIs are invoked.

Workaround
Install the fix for this bug 37169626 prior to database upgrade. If upgrade is run without this fix,
run the script fix_sql_monitor_metadata.sql as the SYS user in each upgraded container.

Open Bugs Affecting Linux

Bug 36756459
If you use Oracle Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) with Oracle Data Guard to carry
out a database move operation, then you must move the Data Guard Broker configuration files
before starting your database move operation.
The default location for the DB_BROKER_CONFIG files is in the dbs directory in the earlier release
Oracle Database Oracle home. When you use a database move operation to carry out a
database move of database instances using Oracle Data Guard, you must move the
DG_BROKER_CONFIG files to a mount point location outside of the earlier release Oracle home.
Also ensure that the DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE parameters specify that location, instead of a
location in the Oracle home.

Tasks Before Starting Your Database Move Operation using Oracle DBCA
To enable access to the DB_BROKER_CONFIG files during a rolling upgrade, you must complete
the following tasks before starting the database move operation.
1. Before you start the database move operation, set the Oracle Data Guard files
DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE1 and DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE2 to a separate mount point on your
server that is outside of the Oracle home path for either the source or target Oracle
Database Oracle homes.
2. Complete a successful database move operation of your earlier release Oracle home to
the new Oracle Database release.
