“It’s about making AI Agents first-class citizens inside the database,” said Tony Baer, chief analyst at dbInsight.
Baer was specifically hinting at the Select AI Agent added to the database, which builds on Select AI — a feature inside Oracle Database introduced in 2023 that allowed users to query data in natural language.
Despite its nomenclature, Select AI Agent is a framework inside the database that will allow developers to build, deploy, and manage agents, Oracle said in a statement, adding that it will come with pre-built, in-database tools and external tools via REST and MCP servers.
