If you aren’t following my colleagues you might have missed these posts:

• The Power of Sparse Vectors in Oracle Database
• Effortless Data Navigation with Scrollable Cursors
• Node-oracledb 6.8 enriches your apps with support for Sparse Vectors, multi-cloud OCI IAM and Azure native token authentication, Interval data types and a lot more

I had a number of recent posts myself too:

• A driver connection pool, a DRCP pool, or an Implicit Connection Pool?
• New release of python-oracledb 3.0 Fetches Directly to Data Frames, has Thin Mode AQ, supports Centralized Configuration Providers, and more
• python-oracledb 3.0 Data Frames — a new way to query data

• Round-trips are only part of the data insertion problem

And a post from Szabolcs Toth rounds out the recent driver content:

And, in other news, Oracle Instant Client 23ai for Oracle Linux 8 aarch64 is available as package downloads or from yum.oracle.com. See my updated Installation Cheatsheet for Oracle Instant Client on Oracle Linux for more about installing on Oracle Linux.
