Welcome to the Future of Data + AI!

 If you’ve been paying attention to the buzz in the tech world lately, you’ve probably heard a lot about Generative AI (GenAI) — the tech that powers chatbots like ChatGPT and tools that can write code, create images, and even produce reports just by understanding what you say.

Now imagine bringing that level of intelligence to your Oracle Database.

Sounds exciting? Let’s dive into how these two powerful technologies are coming together — and what that means for developers, data analysts, and businesses.

 What is Generative AI?

In simple terms, Generative AI uses large language models (LLMs) to understand and generate human-like content. That could be writing emails, summarizing data, generating code, or even answering questions in natural language.

When you combine that with the massive power and structure of Oracle’s enterprise databases — well, you get something special.

 Oracle + GenAI = Smarter Data Workflows

Oracle has been a data powerhouse for decades. From global banks to healthcare systems, millions of mission-critical apps run on Oracle databases.

Now, with GenAI being integrated into Oracle tools and the cloud, users can:

Write SQL with Natural Language

Instead of memorizing complex SQL syntax, just type something like:

"Show me all orders from the last 30 days over $5,000."

And bam — it generates the correct SQL query for you.

Get Code Suggestions with AI

Using Oracle SQL Developer? GenAI can help you write cleaner, faster PL/SQL, suggest fixes, and optimize queries. It’s like having a virtual co-pilot while you code.

 Summarize Big Data in Seconds

Working with thousands of rows? GenAI can read your data and generate summaries, trends, or even highlight weird anomalies — all in plain English.

Generate Synthetic Data

Need test data but can’t use real customer info? GenAI can create fake-but-realistic data based on your schema, keeping your data safe and your testing environment rich.

 Talk to Your Cloud

Oracle is integrating GenAI into OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) and Fusion Apps. That means you’ll soon be able to say stuff like:

“Scale my database during peak hours”
“Find the slowest-running queries this week”

And the AI assistant will just... do it.

 Why This Matters

Let’s break it down:

  • Faster results — No more waiting on DBAs or writing long queries.

  • More access for non-tech users — Business teams can explore data on their own.

  • Smarter development — AI can help avoid mistakes and optimize code.

  • Increased security — AI can help detect risks and automate protections.

  • Less manual work — More time for innovation, less time writing boilerplate.

Real-World Use Cases

  • A retail manager asks Oracle’s AI assistant, “Which products are selling best in the Northeast?”

  • A developer uses AI to debug a slow query without diving into documentation.

  • A finance analyst auto-generates quarterly reports based on live data.

  • A dev team builds a staging environment using AI-generated mock data.

This isn’t the future — it’s happening now.

How to Solve - "WAIT FOR EMON PROCESS NTFNS"

Event Monitor Process in short called as EMON is generally used by oracle to send notification. Often applications uses Database Change Notification process also called as DBCN to be aware of changes in the database, based on these notifications they take further actions. Often clients subscribe to the database and notifications are send as callback to them. In some cases you will notice database sessions are showing wait event "WAIT FOR EMON PROCESS NTFNS" and it can even make your database un-responsive. One observation can be these processes are taking more CPU (may not in be in all cases). As stated EMON process deals with database notification and it's spawn and gets down itself and Administrators have no control on theses processes. Anyone can go through oracle documents to read more EMON functioning process.  EMON uses oracle advanced queues and database queue notifications into them and EMON process these notifications to clients based on their subscriptions. In s...

Query Regression - "OR" Transformation Oracle 19c

Recently while upgrading Oracle Database from version 12.1 to 19.10 found there were couple of queries which was running slow post upgrade. Usually these type of behavior is seen while upgrading to newer version and oracle provide various ways to fix them. The difference between good and bad plan was an introduction of  "MERGE JOIN CARTESIAN" (aka MJC) and that's in where regressed query in 19c taking most of the time. MJC sometimes works for queries but in this case it was clearly not helping.  We had following options here:     1. Copy the profile from 12c to 19c database and it worked, but the problem was not just to specific query but with many similar query. This means profile option is not very attractive in this case.     2. We also tried running query with OFE 12.1 to use the same optimizer features as previous version and query behaves well. Though this option can't be placed as we need to use 19c OFE and can be placed only for testing purpose. ...

Error Processing Request. - Oracle APEX Post upgrade (Invalid WWV_FLOW_SESSION_RAS)

There would be occasions where you would upgrade your oracle database which is hosting your APEX and post upgrade you get error while opening APEX URL " Error Processing Request Contact your application administrator " This looks very strange as you have just upgraded only database. Database version and APEX version are compatible. For Argument lets say both are on 19c.  Now since UI doesn't give detailed information about the error you would need to get to backend oracle database and query view apex_debug_messages.     select * from apex_debug_messages; Looking at the results of this view you would get the clue of the error in this case it was:      ORA-04063 package body APEX_190100.WWV_FLOW_SESSION_RAS has error This means this package body has problem and looking at the status of this body it's found to be invalid and when you try to compile it get following error      alter package APEX_050100.WWV_FLOW_SESSION_RAS compile body;  ...
