python-oracledb 2.2 supports Oracle Database 23ai AI Vector Search

[cjbj]

Python-oracledb 2.2, the Python driver for Oracle Database now supports Oracle Database 23ai AI Vector Search and a bunch of other great Oracle Database 23ai features.

My release blog announcement is here.

Oracle Database 23ai itself was just launched into 'General Availability', see this announcement. There are an absolute heap of developer-friendly features in the database itself. Docker users can get quickly started using Oracle Database 23ai with images such as https://x.com/GeraldVenzl/status/1786954276029579272 or by building the python-oracledb and Oracle Database 23ai all-in-one container https://github.com/oracle/python-oracledb/tree/main/samples/sample_container
