Oracle Database Discussions

Hello!

Looking back at the MLE feature preview, and the Joel's old blog post on it, there used to be Python-in-database usage preview. Some other threads here also support that Python used to be there in the past.

However all newer documentation and blogs on the feature suggest only JavaScript:

• https://docs.oracle.com/en/graalvm/enterprise/21/docs/examples/mle-oracle/
• https://blogs.oracle.com/apex/post/mle-and-the-future-of-server-side-programming-in-oracle-apex
• https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/21/arpls/dbms_mle.html

I remember also some more global plans to add many other languages to the database including Java (in the same way as the others), Ruby, R and others.

Question: Was Python support dropped when the MLE feature was released in Oracle Database 21c? Are there plans to add it back in the future versions, let's say 23c, which is going to be an LTS version of the database?

Or am I missing something and Python code execution is still possible, provided some specific requirements met? Is there any official documentation on that?

Thanks!
