Hi,
When Oracle Database 26ai Free was announced at the Las Vegas event, it was described as an on-premises database including OML4SQL and OML4Py. This motivated me to install it on Oracle Linux 9.
The database installation completed successfully. However, when I navigated to the directory
.../oml4py/server
and started executing the provided scripts (running them as SYS, inside the PDB, and following the expected order), I encountered multiple errors during execution.
I would like to understand what is the correct and supported way to enable and use OML4Py in Oracle Database 26ai Free. Specifically, I would appreciate clarification on the following points:
• Is OML4Py officially supported in Oracle Database 26ai Free, or is it currently limited to Enterprise / EE-based distributions?
• Is there updated documentation specifically covering the installation and configuration of OML4Py with Oracle Database 26ai Free on Oracle Linux 9?
• What is the intended usage model for OML4Py in 26ai Free: should it be used via the embedded Python engine inside the database, or through an external Python environment using the oml client?
• If OML4Py is not fully supported yet, is there an expected roadmap or timeline for its availability in the Free edition?
Thank you in advance for any guidance or clarification.
