VECTOR Feature introduced in 23.5 still do not work in 23.26.0

user7111641Jun 13 2026 — edited Jun 18 2026

Hello All,

The current version of the FreeSQL database is 23.26.0, that is, lagging two releases behind the latest release.

However, even features introduced in earlier releases still do not work as expected.

For example, using BINARY VECTORS in PL/SQL was introduced in release 23.5,
however, in 23.26.0 it still produces error:

declare
v vector(8, binary) := to_vector('[42]', 8, binary);
begin
dbms_output.put_line(vector_serialize(v));
end;
/

ORA-06550: line 2, column 17:
PLS-00850: Cannot enable the feature 'BINARY Vectors': The Oracle RAC Two-Stage Rolling Update is not yet complete.
ORA-06550: line 0, column 1:
PL/SQL: Compilation unit analysis terminated

The problem might be related to the COMPATIBLE parameter, which we have no privileges to check.

Thanks a lot in advance for upgrading FreeSQL to the latest release, with all the features enabled, as soon as possible.

Best Regards,
Iudith Mentzel
