You don't install the DB and get an AI, you get an empty DB that has vectors. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago I mean, that wasn't the first rename for silly reasons. There is a long tradition of this for Oracle DB naming. That "c" in 23c meant "cloud". Nothing about the DB 23c required it to installed or run in the cloud. That was in 2012 with DB 12c. Before that in 2003 it was "g" in DB 10g for "grid" (remember the grid computing hype?). Before that in 1998 it was "i" in DB 8i for "internet". permalink fedilink source parent [–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 child) Kinda late to the party aren't they? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] CandleTiger@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago* Oracle are not fast movers.
