New Features in Oracle AI Database 26ai

The following are the new features in the Oracle AI Database Object-Relational Developer's Guide for Oracle AI Database 26ai.

Wide Tables

The maximum number of columns allowed in a database table or view has been increased to 4096. This feature allows you to build applications that can store attributes in a single table with more than the previous 1000-column limit. Some applications such as Machine Learning and streaming IoT application workloads may require the use of de-normalized tables with more than 1000 columns.

You now have the ability to store a larger number of attributes in a single row which for some applications may simplify application design and implementation. See The Flat Model.
