14.1.1 Verifying Database Compatibility

Oracle Graph Server and Client works with Oracle Database 12.2 onwards on both on-premises and cloud environments. The cloud environment includes working with all versions of Oracle Autonomous Database Serverless and Oracle Autonomous Database Dedicated.

However, modifying a property graph using a PGQL INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE query is not supported for Oracle Database 12.2.

14.1.2 Downloading Oracle Graph Server and Client

You can download Oracle Graph Server and Client from Oracle Software Delivery Cloud or from Oracle Technology Network.

Table 14-2 summarizes all the files contained in the Oracle Graph Server and Client deployment.

<ver> denoted in the file name in the Table 14-2 reflects the downloaded Oracle Graph Server and Client version.
