Clone, Move, or Upgrade an Autonomous AI Database Instance

Autonomous AI Database provides cloning where you can choose to create a full clone, create a metadata clone, or create a refreshable clone. You can also move a database to a different compartment. By creating a clone you can upgrade an instance with Oracle Database 19c to create an Oracle AI Database 26ai clone (either a full clone or a refreshable clone).
