SELECT AI ACTIVATION ON ORACLE26AI

aziz derbelFeb 24 2026

Hello Community,

I'm just starting with the new Oracle 26AI database server.

I have set up a podman-based instance on my Windows machine using the official enterprise edition.

My objective is to configure and activate the new SELECT AI feature. To do so, I followed the official online guides, but I'm currently stuck with an unpredictable error while creating the profile to interact with the LLM (I'm using Google Gemini).

This is a short description of the executed steps:

  • Start the container and install the DBMS_CLOUD & DBMS_CLOUD_AI packages using this command : $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catcon.pl \ -u sys/<your_sys_password> \ --force_pdb_mode 'READ WRITE' \ -b dbms_cloud_install \ -d $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin \ -l /tmp \ dbms_cloud_install.sql.
  • Grant to required Permissions for the database user called “BANK”. (GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_CLOUD_AI TO BANK; GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_CLOUD TO BANK)
  • Configure the ACL using “DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.APPEND_HOST_ACE”. (using the SYS user)
  • Create the CREDENTIAL object using the GOOGLE API KEY. (using the PDB user “BANK”)
  • Create the AI PROFILE using the configured credentials. (using the PDB user “BANK”)

As I previously mentioned, an error is still being thrown at the profile creation step, saying :

ERROR à la ligne 1:

ORA-20000: ORA-01435: user not found

ORA-06512: à "SYS.DBMS_CLOUD", ligne 2257

ORA-06512: à "SYS.DBMS_CLOUD_AI", ligne 17572

I'm still wondering about the possible causes, since I followed the official guide's instructions:

Can anyone help me resolve this issue ?
