What is Oracle BaseDB (Oracle Base Database Service)?
Oracle BaseDB is the common shorthand used for Oracle Base Database Service, a managed database service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
✅ Official Definition
Oracle Base Database Service is a cloud service that lets you run Oracle Database (Standard Edition, Enterprise Edition, EE‑High Performance, and EE‑Extreme Performance) on flexible virtual machine DB systems in OCI.
It provides automated lifecycle management (backups, patching, scaling), high availability, and full control of the underlying database.
Key Points About Oracle BaseDB
1. Runs full Oracle Database editions on OCI
It supports these editions:
- Standard Edition
- Enterprise Edition
- Enterprise Edition – High Performance
- Enterprise Edition – Extreme Performance
These are the same editions used on‑premises.
2. Fully managed VM-based DB systems
You can deploy:
- Single-node DB systems
- Multi-node RAC DB systems (EE‑Extreme Performance required)
You manage them via: OCI Console, OCI API, CLI, Enterprise Manager, or SQL Developer.
3. Automated operations
Oracle BaseDB automates:
- Patching
- Backup & recovery
- Scaling compute & storage
- Data Guard setup
4. Includes modern Oracle AI Database features
Oracle BaseDB supports:
- Oracle Database 19c
- Oracle Database 26ai (AI-enabled)
It includes advanced features like:
- AI Vector Search
- Machine Learning
- JSON-relational duality
- Graph & Spatial
5. Pricing flexibility
Supports:
- License Included
- Bring Your Own License (BYOL)
- Pay-as-you-go consumption
In Simple Terms
Oracle BaseDB = Oracle Database running as a managed VM-based service in Oracle Cloud.
You get:
- Full control like on-premises
- With cloud automation
- And support for all Enterprise/Standard editions
This is different from Oracle Autonomous Database, which is fully self-driving.
