+
+Auto Increment Behavior
+-----------------------
+
+SQLAlchemy Table objects which include integer primary keys are usually assumed
+to have "autoincrementing" behavior, meaning they can generate their own
+primary key values upon INSERT. For use within Oracle Database, two options are
+available, which are the use of IDENTITY columns (Oracle Database 12 and above
+only) or the association of a SEQUENCE with the column.
+
+Specifying GENERATED AS IDENTITY (Oracle Database 12 and above)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Starting from version 12, Oracle Database can make use of identity columns
+using the :class:`_sql.Identity` to specify the autoincrementing behavior::
+
+    t = Table(
+        "mytable",
+        metadata,
+        Column("id", Integer, Identity(start=3), primary_key=True),
+        Column(...),
+        ...,
+    )
+
+The CREATE TABLE for the above :class:`_schema.Table` object would be:
+
+.. sourcecode:: sql
+
+    CREATE TABLE mytable (
+        id INTEGER GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY (START WITH 3),
+        ...,
+        PRIMARY KEY (id)
+    )
+
+The :class:`_schema.Identity` object support many options to control the
+"autoincrementing" behavior of the column, like the starting value, the
+incrementing value, etc.  In addition to the standard options, Oracle Database
+supports setting :paramref:`_schema.Identity.always` to ``None`` to use the
+default generated mode, rendering GENERATED AS IDENTITY in the DDL.  Oracle
+Database also supports two custom options specified using dialect kwargs:
+
+* ``oracle_on_null``: when set to ``True`` renders ``ON NULL`` in conjunction
+  with a 'BY DEFAULT' identity column.
+* ``oracle_order``: when ``True``, renders the ORDER keyword, indicating the
+  identity is definitively ordered. May be necessary to provide deterministic
+  ordering using Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC).
+
+Using a SEQUENCE (all Oracle Database versions)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Older version of Oracle Database had no "autoincrement" feature: SQLAlchemy
+relies upon sequences to produce these values.  With the older Oracle Database
+versions, *a sequence must always be explicitly specified to enable
+autoincrement*.  This is divergent with the majority of documentation examples
+which assume the usage of an autoincrement-capable database.  To specify
+sequences, use the sqlalchemy.schema.Sequence object which is passed to a
+Column construct::
+
+  t = Table(
+      "mytable",
+      metadata,
+      Column("id", Integer, Sequence("id_seq", start=1), primary_key=True),
+      Column(...),
+      ...,
+  )
+
+This step is also required when using table reflection, i.e. autoload_with=engine::
+
+  t = Table(
+      "mytable",
+      metadata,
+      Column("id", Integer, Sequence("id_seq", start=1), primary_key=True),
+      autoload_with=engine,
+  )
+
+In addition to the standard options, Oracle Database supports the following
+custom option specified using dialect kwargs:
+
+* ``oracle_order``: when ``True``, renders the ORDER keyword, indicating the
+  sequence is definitively ordered. May be necessary to provide deterministic
+  ordering using Oracle RAC.
+
+.. versionchanged::  1.4   Added :class:`_schema.Identity` construct
+   in a :class:`_schema.Column` to specify the option of an autoincrementing
+   column.
+
+.. _oracle_isolation_level:
+
+Transaction Isolation Level / Autocommit
+----------------------------------------
+
+Oracle Database supports "READ COMMITTED" and "SERIALIZABLE" modes of
+isolation. The AUTOCOMMIT isolation level is also supported by the
+python-oracledb and cx_Oracle dialects.
+
+To set using per-connection execution options::
+
+    connection = engine.connect()
+    connection = connection.execution_options(isolation_level="AUTOCOMMIT")
+
+For ``READ COMMITTED`` and ``SERIALIZABLE``, the Oracle Database dialects sets
+the level at the session level using ``ALTER SESSION``, which is reverted back
+to its default setting when the connection is returned to the connection pool.
+
+Valid values for ``isolation_level`` include:
+
+* ``READ COMMITTED``
+* ``AUTOCOMMIT``
+* ``SERIALIZABLE``
+
+.. note:: The implementation for the
+   :meth:`_engine.Connection.get_isolation_level` method as implemented by the
+   Oracle Database dialects necessarily force the start of a transaction using the
+   Oracle Database DBMS_TRANSACTION.LOCAL_TRANSACTION_ID function; otherwise no
+   level is normally readable.
+
+   Additionally, the :meth:`_engine.Connection.get_isolation_level` method will
+   raise an exception if the ``v$transaction`` view is not available due to
+   permissions or other reasons, which is a common occurrence in Oracle Database
+   installations.
+
+   The python-oracledb and cx_Oracle dialects attempt to call the
+   :meth:`_engine.Connection.get_isolation_level` method when the dialect makes
+   its first connection to the database in order to acquire the
+   "default"isolation level.  This default level is necessary so that the level
+   can be reset on a connection after it has been temporarily modified using
+   :meth:`_engine.Connection.execution_options` method.  In the common event
+   that the :meth:`_engine.Connection.get_isolation_level` method raises an
+   exception due to ``v$transaction`` not being readable as well as any other
+   database-related failure, the level is assumed to be "READ COMMITTED".  No
+   warning is emitted for this initial first-connect condition as it is
+   expected to be a common restriction on Oracle databases.
+
+.. seealso::
+
+    :ref:`dbapi_autocommit`
+
+Identifier Casing
+-----------------
+
+In Oracle Database, the data dictionary represents all case insensitive
+identifier names using UPPERCASE text.  This is in contradiction to the
+expectations of SQLAlchemy, which assume a case insensitive name is represented
+as lowercase text.
+
+As an example of case insensitive identifier names, consider the following table:
+
+.. sourcecode:: sql
+
+    CREATE TABLE MyTable (Identifier INTEGER PRIMARY KEY)
+
+If you were to ask Oracle Database for information about this table, the
+table name would be reported as ``MYTABLE`` and the column name would
+be reported as ``IDENTIFIER``.    Compare to most other databases such as
+PostgreSQL and MySQL which would report these names as ``mytable`` and
+``identifier``.   The names are **not quoted, therefore are case insensitive**.
+The special casing of ``MyTable`` and ``Identifier`` would only be maintained
+if they were quoted in the table definition:
+
+.. sourcecode:: sql
+
+    CREATE TABLE "MyTable" ("Identifier" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY)
+
+When constructing a SQLAlchemy :class:`.Table` object, **an all lowercase name
+is considered to be case insensitive**.   So the following table assumes
+case insensitive names::
+
+    Table("mytable", metadata, Column("identifier", Integer, primary_key=True))
+
+Whereas when mixed case or UPPERCASE names are used, case sensitivity is
+assumed::
+
+    Table("MyTable", metadata, Column("Identifier", Integer, primary_key=True))
+
+A similar situation occurs at the database driver level when emitting a
+textual SQL SELECT statement and looking at column names in the DBAPI
+``cursor.description`` attribute.  A database like PostgreSQL will normalize
+case insensitive names to be lowercase::
+
+    >>> pg_engine = create_engine("postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test")
+    >>> pg_connection = pg_engine.connect()
+    >>> result = pg_connection.exec_driver_sql("SELECT 1 AS SomeName")
+    >>> result.cursor.description
+    (Column(name='somename', type_code=23),)
+
+Whereas Oracle normalizes them to UPPERCASE::
+
+    >>> oracle_engine = create_engine("oracle+oracledb://scott:tiger@oracle18c/xe")
+    >>> oracle_connection = oracle_engine.connect()
+    >>> result = oracle_connection.exec_driver_sql(
+    ...     "SELECT 1 AS SomeName FROM DUAL"
+    ... )
+    >>> result.cursor.description
+    [('SOMENAME', <DbType DB_TYPE_NUMBER>, 127, None, 0, -127, True)]
+
+In order to achieve cross-database parity for the two cases of a. table
+reflection and b. textual-only SQL statement round trips, SQLAlchemy performs a step
+called **name normalization** when using the Oracle dialect.  This process may
+also apply to other third party dialects that have similar UPPERCASE handling
+of case insensitive names.
+
+When using name normalization, SQLAlchemy attempts to detect if a name is
+case insensitive by checking if all characters are UPPERCASE letters only;
+if so, then it assumes this is a case insensitive name and is delivered as
+a lowercase name.
+
+For table reflection, a tablename that is seen represented as all UPPERCASE
+in Oracle Database's catalog tables will be assumed to have a case insensitive
+name.  This is what allows the ``Table`` definition to use lower case names
+and be equally compatible from a reflection point of view on Oracle Database
+and all other databases such as PostgreSQL and MySQL::
+
+    # matches a table created with CREATE TABLE mytable
+    Table("mytable", metadata, autoload_with=some_engine)
+
+Above, the all lowercase name ``"mytable"`` is case insensitive; it will match
+a table reported by PostgreSQL as ``"mytable"`` and a table reported by
+Oracle as ``"MYTABLE"``.  If name normalization were not present, it would
+not be possible for the above :class:`.Table` definition to be introspectable
+in a cross-database way, since we are dealing with a case insensitive name
+that is not reported by each database in the same way.
+
+Case sensitivity can be forced on in this case, such as if we wanted to represent
+the quoted tablename ``"MYTABLE"`` with that exact casing, most simply by using
+that casing directly, which will be seen as a case sensitive name::
+
+    # matches a table created with CREATE TABLE "MYTABLE"
+    Table("MYTABLE", metadata, autoload_with=some_engine)
+
+For the unusual case of a quoted all-lowercase name, the :class:`.quoted_name`
+construct may be used::
+
+    from sqlalchemy import quoted_name
+
+    # matches a table created with CREATE TABLE "mytable"
+    Table(
+        quoted_name("mytable", quote=True), metadata, autoload_with=some_engine
+    )
+
+Name normalization also takes place when handling result sets from **purely
+textual SQL strings**, that have no other :class:`.Table` or :class:`.Column`
+metadata associated with them. This includes SQL strings executed using
+:meth:`.Connection.exec_driver_sql` and SQL strings executed using the
+:func:`.text` construct which do not include :class:`.Column` metadata.
+
+Returning to the Oracle Database SELECT statement, we see that even though
+``cursor.description`` reports the column name as ``SOMENAME``, SQLAlchemy
+name normalizes this to ``somename``::
+
+    >>> oracle_engine = create_engine("oracle+oracledb://scott:tiger@oracle18c/xe")
+    >>> oracle_connection = oracle_engine.connect()
+    >>> result = oracle_connection.exec_driver_sql(
+    ...     "SELECT 1 AS SomeName FROM DUAL"
+    ... )
+    >>> result.cursor.description
+    [('SOMENAME', <DbType DB_TYPE_NUMBER>, 127, None, 0, -127, True)]
+    >>> result.keys()
+    RMKeyView(['somename'])
+
+The single scenario where the above behavior produces inaccurate results
+is when using an all-uppercase, quoted name.  SQLAlchemy has no way to determine
+that a particular name in ``cursor.description`` was quoted, and is therefore
+case sensitive, or was not quoted, and should be name normalized::
+
+    >>> result = oracle_connection.exec_driver_sql(
+    ...     'SELECT 1 AS "SOMENAME" FROM DUAL'
+    ... )
+    >>> result.cursor.description
+    [('SOMENAME', <DbType DB_TYPE_NUMBER>, 127, None, 0, -127, True)]
+    >>> result.keys()
+    RMKeyView(['somename'])
+
+For this exact scenario, SQLAlchemy offers the :paramref:`.Connection.execution_options.driver_column_names`
+execution options, which turns off name normalize for result sets::
+
+    >>> result = oracle_connection.exec_driver_sql(
+    ...     'SELECT 1 AS "SOMENAME" FROM DUAL',
+    ...     execution_options={"driver_column_names": True},
+    ... )
+    >>> result.keys()
+    RMKeyView(['SOMENAME'])
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.1 Added the :paramref:`.Connection.execution_options.driver_column_names`
+   execution option
+
+
+.. _oracle_max_identifier_lengths:
+
+Maximum Identifier Lengths
+--------------------------
+
+SQLAlchemy is sensitive to the maximum identifier length supported by Oracle
+Database. This affects generated SQL label names as well as the generation of
+constraint names, particularly in the case where the constraint naming
+convention feature described at :ref:`constraint_naming_conventions` is being
+used.
+
+Oracle Database 12.2 increased the default maximum identifier length from 30 to
+128. As of SQLAlchemy 1.4, the default maximum identifier length for the Oracle
+dialects is 128 characters.  Upon first connection, the maximum length actually
+supported by the database is obtained. In all cases, setting the
+:paramref:`_sa.create_engine.max_identifier_length` parameter will bypass this
+change and the value given will be used as is::
+
+    engine = create_engine(
+        "oracle+oracledb://scott:tiger@localhost:1521?service_name=freepdb1",
+        max_identifier_length=30,
+    )
+
+If :paramref:`_sa.create_engine.max_identifier_length` is not set, the oracledb
+dialect internally uses the ``max_identifier_length`` attribute available on
+driver connections since python-oracledb version 2.5. When using an older
+driver version, or using the cx_Oracle dialect, SQLAlchemy will instead attempt
+to use the query ``SELECT value FROM v$parameter WHERE name = 'compatible'``
+upon first connect in order to determine the effective compatibility version of
+the database. The "compatibility" version is a version number that is
+independent of the actual database version. It is used to assist database
+migration. It is configured by an Oracle Database initialization parameter. The
+compatibility version then determines the maximum allowed identifier length for
+the database. If the V$ view is not available, the database version information
+is used instead.
+
+The maximum identifier length comes into play both when generating anonymized
+SQL labels in SELECT statements, but more crucially when generating constraint
+names from a naming convention.  It is this area that has created the need for
+SQLAlchemy to change this default conservatively.  For example, the following
+naming convention produces two very different constraint names based on the
+identifier length::
+
+    from sqlalchemy import Column
+    from sqlalchemy import Index
+    from sqlalchemy import Integer
+    from sqlalchemy import MetaData
+    from sqlalchemy import Table
+    from sqlalchemy.dialects import oracle
+    from sqlalchemy.schema import CreateIndex
+
+    m = MetaData(naming_convention={"ix": "ix_%(column_0N_name)s"})
+
+    t = Table(
+        "t",
+        m,
+        Column("some_column_name_1", Integer),
+        Column("some_column_name_2", Integer),
+        Column("some_column_name_3", Integer),
+    )
+
+    ix = Index(
+        None,
+        t.c.some_column_name_1,
+        t.c.some_column_name_2,
+        t.c.some_column_name_3,
+    )
+
+    oracle_dialect = oracle.dialect(max_identifier_length=30)
+    print(CreateIndex(ix).compile(dialect=oracle_dialect))
+
+With an identifier length of 30, the above CREATE INDEX looks like:
+
+.. sourcecode:: sql
+
+    CREATE INDEX ix_some_column_name_1s_70cd ON t
+    (some_column_name_1, some_column_name_2, some_column_name_3)
+
+However with length of 128, it becomes::
+
+.. sourcecode:: sql
+
+    CREATE INDEX ix_some_column_name_1some_column_name_2some_column_name_3 ON t
+    (some_column_name_1, some_column_name_2, some_column_name_3)
+
+Applications which have run versions of SQLAlchemy prior to 1.4 on Oracle
+Database version 12.2 or greater are therefore subject to the scenario of a
+database migration that wishes to "DROP CONSTRAINT" on a name that was
+previously generated with the shorter length.  This migration will fail when
+the identifier length is changed without the name of the index or constraint
+first being adjusted.  Such applications are strongly advised to make use of
+:paramref:`_sa.create_engine.max_identifier_length` in order to maintain
+control of the generation of truncated names, and to fully review and test all
+database migrations in a staging environment when changing this value to ensure
+that the impact of this change has been mitigated.
+
+.. versionchanged:: 1.4 the default max_identifier_length for Oracle Database
+   is 128 characters, which is adjusted down to 30 upon first connect if the
+   Oracle Database, or its compatibility setting, are lower than version 12.2.
+
+
+LIMIT/OFFSET/FETCH Support
+--------------------------
+
+Methods like :meth:`_sql.Select.limit` and :meth:`_sql.Select.offset` make use
+of ``FETCH FIRST N ROW / OFFSET N ROWS`` syntax assuming Oracle Database 12c or
+above, and assuming the SELECT statement is not embedded within a compound
+statement like UNION.  This syntax is also available directly by using the
+:meth:`_sql.Select.fetch` method.
+
+.. versionchanged:: 2.0 the Oracle Database dialects now use ``FETCH FIRST N
+   ROW / OFFSET N ROWS`` for all :meth:`_sql.Select.limit` and
+   :meth:`_sql.Select.offset` usage including within the ORM and legacy
+   :class:`_orm.Query`.  To force the legacy behavior using window functions,
+   specify the ``enable_offset_fetch=False`` dialect parameter to
+   :func:`_sa.create_engine`.
+
+The use of ``FETCH FIRST / OFFSET`` may be disabled on any Oracle Database
+version by passing ``enable_offset_fetch=False`` to :func:`_sa.create_engine`,
+which will force the use of "legacy" mode that makes use of window functions.
+This mode is also selected automatically when using a version of Oracle
+Database prior to 12c.
+
+When using legacy mode, or when a :class:`.Select` statement with limit/offset
+is embedded in a compound statement, an emulated approach for LIMIT / OFFSET
+based on window functions is used, which involves creation of a subquery using
+``ROW_NUMBER`` that is prone to performance issues as well as SQL construction
+issues for complex statements. However, this approach is supported by all
+Oracle Database versions. See notes below.
+
+Notes on LIMIT / OFFSET emulation (when fetch() method cannot be used)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If using :meth:`_sql.Select.limit` and :meth:`_sql.Select.offset`, or with the
+ORM the :meth:`_orm.Query.limit` and :meth:`_orm.Query.offset` methods on an
+Oracle Database version prior to 12c, the following notes apply:
+
+* SQLAlchemy currently makes use of ROWNUM to achieve
+  LIMIT/OFFSET; the exact methodology is taken from
+  https://blogs.oracle.com/oraclemagazine/on-rownum-and-limiting-results .
+
+* the "FIRST_ROWS()" optimization keyword is not used by default.  To enable
+  the usage of this optimization directive, specify ``optimize_limits=True``
+  to :func:`_sa.create_engine`.
+
+  .. versionchanged:: 1.4
+
+      The Oracle Database dialect renders limit/offset integer values using a
+      "post compile" scheme which renders the integer directly before passing
+      the statement to the cursor for execution.  The ``use_binds_for_limits``
+      flag no longer has an effect.
+
+      .. seealso::
+
+          :ref:`change_4808`.
+
+.. _oracle_returning:
+
+RETURNING Support
+-----------------
+
+Oracle Database supports RETURNING fully for INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE
+statements that are invoked with a single collection of bound parameters (that
+is, a ``cursor.execute()`` style statement; SQLAlchemy does not generally
+support RETURNING with :term:`executemany` statements).  Multiple rows may be
+returned as well.
+
+.. versionchanged:: 2.0 the Oracle Database backend has full support for
+   RETURNING on parity with other backends.
+
+
+ON UPDATE CASCADE
+-----------------
+
+Oracle Database doesn't have native ON UPDATE CASCADE functionality.  A trigger
+based solution is available at
+https://web.archive.org/web/20090317041251/https://asktom.oracle.com/tkyte/update_cascade/index.html
+
+When using the SQLAlchemy ORM, the ORM has limited ability to manually issue
+cascading updates - specify ForeignKey objects using the
+"deferrable=True, initially='deferred'" keyword arguments,
+and specify "passive_updates=False" on each relationship().
+
+Oracle Database 8 Compatibility
+-------------------------------
+
+.. warning:: The status of Oracle Database 8 compatibility is not known for
+   SQLAlchemy 2.0.
+
+When Oracle Database 8 is detected, the dialect internally configures itself to
+the following behaviors:
+
+* the use_ansi flag is set to False.  This has the effect of converting all
+  JOIN phrases into the WHERE clause, and in the case of LEFT OUTER JOIN
+  makes use of Oracle's (+) operator.
+
+* the NVARCHAR2 and NCLOB datatypes are no longer generated as DDL when
+  the :class:`~sqlalchemy.types.Unicode` is used - VARCHAR2 and CLOB are issued
+  instead. This because these types don't seem to work correctly on Oracle 8
+  even though they are available. The :class:`~sqlalchemy.types.NVARCHAR` and
+  :class:`~sqlalchemy.dialects.oracle.NCLOB` types will always generate
+  NVARCHAR2 and NCLOB.
+
+
+Synonym/DBLINK Reflection
+-------------------------
+
+When using reflection with Table objects, the dialect can optionally search
+for tables indicated by synonyms, either in local or remote schemas or
+accessed over DBLINK, by passing the flag ``oracle_resolve_synonyms=True`` as
+a keyword argument to the :class:`_schema.Table` construct::
+
+    some_table = Table(
+        "some_table", autoload_with=some_engine, oracle_resolve_synonyms=True
+    )
+
+When this flag is set, the given name (such as ``some_table`` above) will be
+searched not just in the ``ALL_TABLES`` view, but also within the
+``ALL_SYNONYMS`` view to see if this name is actually a synonym to another
+name.  If the synonym is located and refers to a DBLINK, the Oracle Database
+dialects know how to locate the table's information using DBLINK syntax(e.g.
+``@dblink``).
+
+``oracle_resolve_synonyms`` is accepted wherever reflection arguments are
+accepted, including methods such as :meth:`_schema.MetaData.reflect` and
+:meth:`_reflection.Inspector.get_columns`.
+
+If synonyms are not in use, this flag should be left disabled.
+
+.. _oracle_constraint_reflection:
+
+Constraint Reflection
+---------------------
+
+The Oracle Database dialects can return information about foreign key, unique,
+and CHECK constraints, as well as indexes on tables.
+
+Raw information regarding these constraints can be acquired using
+:meth:`_reflection.Inspector.get_foreign_keys`,
+:meth:`_reflection.Inspector.get_unique_constraints`,
+:meth:`_reflection.Inspector.get_check_constraints`, and
+:meth:`_reflection.Inspector.get_indexes`.
+
+When using reflection at the :class:`_schema.Table` level, the
+:class:`_schema.Table`
+will also include these constraints.
+
+Note the following caveats:
+
+* When using the :meth:`_reflection.Inspector.get_check_constraints` method,
+  Oracle Database builds a special "IS NOT NULL" constraint for columns that
+  specify "NOT NULL".  This constraint is **not** returned by default; to
+  include the "IS NOT NULL" constraints, pass the flag ``include_all=True``::
+
+      from sqlalchemy import create_engine, inspect
+
+      engine = create_engine(
+          "oracle+oracledb://scott:tiger@localhost:1521?service_name=freepdb1"
+      )
+      inspector = inspect(engine)
+      all_check_constraints = inspector.get_check_constraints(
+          "some_table", include_all=True
+      )
+
+* in most cases, when reflecting a :class:`_schema.Table`, a UNIQUE constraint
+  will **not** be available as a :class:`.UniqueConstraint` object, as Oracle
+  Database mirrors unique constraints with a UNIQUE index in most cases (the
+  exception seems to be when two or more unique constraints represent the same
+  columns); the :class:`_schema.Table` will instead represent these using
+  :class:`.Index` with the ``unique=True`` flag set.
+
+* Oracle Database creates an implicit index for the primary key of a table;
+  this index is **excluded** from all index results.
+
+* the list of columns reflected for an index will not include column names
+  that start with SYS_NC.
+
+Table names with SYSTEM/SYSAUX tablespaces
+-------------------------------------------
+
+The :meth:`_reflection.Inspector.get_table_names` and
+:meth:`_reflection.Inspector.get_temp_table_names`
+methods each return a list of table names for the current engine. These methods
+are also part of the reflection which occurs within an operation such as
+:meth:`_schema.MetaData.reflect`.  By default,
+these operations exclude the ``SYSTEM``
+and ``SYSAUX`` tablespaces from the operation.   In order to change this, the
+default list of tablespaces excluded can be changed at the engine level using
+the ``exclude_tablespaces`` parameter::
+
+    # exclude SYSAUX and SOME_TABLESPACE, but not SYSTEM
+    e = create_engine(
+        "oracle+oracledb://scott:tiger@localhost:1521/?service_name=freepdb1",
+        exclude_tablespaces=["SYSAUX", "SOME_TABLESPACE"],
+    )
+
+.. _oracle_float_support:
+
+FLOAT / DOUBLE Support and Behaviors
+------------------------------------
+
+The SQLAlchemy :class:`.Float` and :class:`.Double` datatypes are generic
+datatypes that resolve to the "least surprising" datatype for a given backend.
+For Oracle Database, this means they resolve to the ``FLOAT`` and ``DOUBLE``
+types::
+
+    >>> from sqlalchemy import cast, literal, Float
+    >>> from sqlalchemy.dialects import oracle
+    >>> float_datatype = Float()
+    >>> print(cast(literal(5.0), float_datatype).compile(dialect=oracle.dialect()))
+    CAST(:param_1 AS FLOAT)
+
+Oracle's ``FLOAT`` / ``DOUBLE`` datatypes are aliases for ``NUMBER``.   Oracle
+Database stores ``NUMBER`` values with full precision, not floating point
+precision, which means that ``FLOAT`` / ``DOUBLE`` do not actually behave like
+native FP values. Oracle Database instead offers special datatypes
+``BINARY_FLOAT`` and ``BINARY_DOUBLE`` to deliver real 4- and 8- byte FP
+values.
+
+SQLAlchemy supports these datatypes directly using :class:`.BINARY_FLOAT` and
+:class:`.BINARY_DOUBLE`.   To use the :class:`.Float` or :class:`.Double`
+datatypes in a database agnostic way, while allowing Oracle backends to utilize
+one of these types, use the :meth:`.TypeEngine.with_variant` method to set up a
+variant::
+
+    >>> from sqlalchemy import cast, literal, Float
+    >>> from sqlalchemy.dialects import oracle
+    >>> float_datatype = Float().with_variant(oracle.BINARY_FLOAT(), "oracle")
+    >>> print(cast(literal(5.0), float_datatype).compile(dialect=oracle.dialect()))
+    CAST(:param_1 AS BINARY_FLOAT)
+
+E.g. to use this datatype in a :class:`.Table` definition::
+
+    my_table = Table(
+        "my_table",
+        metadata,
+        Column(
+            "fp_data", Float().with_variant(oracle.BINARY_FLOAT(), "oracle")
+        ),
+    )
+
+.. _oracle_boolean_support:
+
+Boolean Support
+---------------
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.1
+
+Oracle Database 23ai introduced native support for the ``BOOLEAN`` datatype.
+The Oracle dialect automatically detects the database version and uses the
+native ``BOOLEAN`` type when available, or falls back to emulation using
+``SMALLINT`` on older Oracle versions.
+
+The standard :class:`_types.Boolean` type can be used in table definitions::
+
+    from sqlalchemy import Boolean, Column, Integer, Table, MetaData
+
+    metadata = MetaData()
+
+    my_table = Table(
+        "my_table",
+        metadata,
+        Column("id", Integer, primary_key=True),
+        Column("flag", Boolean),
+    )
+
+On Oracle 23ai and later, this will generate DDL using the native ``BOOLEAN`` type:
+
+.. code-block:: sql
+
+    CREATE TABLE my_table (
+        id INTEGER NOT NULL,
+        flag BOOLEAN,
+        PRIMARY KEY (id)
+    )
+
+On earlier Oracle versions, it will use ``SMALLINT`` for storage with appropriate
+constraints and conversions.
+
+The :class:`_types.Boolean` type is also available as ``BOOLEAN`` from the Oracle
+dialect for consistency with other type names::
+
+    from sqlalchemy.dialects.oracle import BOOLEAN
+
+DateTime Compatibility
+----------------------
+
+Oracle Database has no datatype known as ``DATETIME``, it instead has only
+``DATE``, which can actually store a date and time value.  For this reason, the
+Oracle Database dialects provide a type :class:`_oracle.DATE` which is a
+subclass of :class:`.DateTime`.  This type has no special behavior, and is only
+present as a "marker" for this type; additionally, when a database column is
+reflected and the type is reported as ``DATE``, the time-supporting
+:class:`_oracle.DATE` type is used.
+
+.. _oracle_table_options:
+
+Oracle Database Table Options
+-----------------------------
+
+The CREATE TABLE phrase supports the following options with Oracle Database
+dialects in conjunction with the :class:`_schema.Table` construct:
+
+
+* ``ON COMMIT``::
+
+    Table(
+        "some_table",
+        metadata,
+        ...,
+        prefixes=["GLOBAL TEMPORARY"],
+        oracle_on_commit="PRESERVE ROWS",
+    )
+
+*
+  ``COMPRESS``::
+
+     Table(
+         "mytable", metadata, Column("data", String(32)), oracle_compress=True
+     )
+
+     Table("mytable", metadata, Column("data", String(32)), oracle_compress=6)
+
+  The ``oracle_compress`` parameter accepts either an integer compression
+  level, or ``True`` to use the default compression level.
+
+*
+  ``TABLESPACE``::
+
+     Table("mytable", metadata, ..., oracle_tablespace="EXAMPLE_TABLESPACE")
+
+  The ``oracle_tablespace`` parameter specifies the tablespace in which the
+  table is to be created. This is useful when you want to create a table in a
+  tablespace other than the default tablespace of the user.
+
+  .. versionadded:: 2.0.37
+
+.. _oracle_index_options:
+
+Oracle Database Specific Index Options
+--------------------------------------
+
+Bitmap Indexes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can specify the ``oracle_bitmap`` parameter to create a bitmap index
+instead of a B-tree index::
+
+    Index("my_index", my_table.c.data, oracle_bitmap=True)
+
+Bitmap indexes cannot be unique and cannot be compressed. SQLAlchemy will not
+check for such limitations, only the database will.
+
+Index compression
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Oracle Database has a more efficient storage mode for indexes containing lots
+of repeated values. Use the ``oracle_compress`` parameter to turn on key
+compression::
+
+    Index("my_index", my_table.c.data, oracle_compress=True)
+
+    Index(
+        "my_index",
+        my_table.c.data1,
+        my_table.c.data2,
+        unique=True,
+        oracle_compress=1,
+    )
+
+The ``oracle_compress`` parameter accepts either an integer specifying the
+number of prefix columns to compress, or ``True`` to use the default (all
+columns for non-unique indexes, all but the last column for unique indexes).
+
+.. _oracle_vector_datatype:
+
+VECTOR Datatype
+---------------
+
+Oracle Database 23ai introduced a new VECTOR datatype for artificial intelligence
+and machine learning search operations. The VECTOR datatype is a homogeneous array
+of 8-bit signed integers, 8-bit unsigned integers (binary), 32-bit floating-point
+numbers, or 64-bit floating-point numbers.
+
+A vector's storage type can be either DENSE or SPARSE. A dense vector contains
+meaningful values in most or all of its dimensions. In contrast, a sparse vector
+has non-zero values in only a few dimensions, with the majority being zero.
+
+Sparse vectors are represented by the total number of vector dimensions, an array
+of indices, and an array of values where each value’s location in the vector is
+indicated by the corresponding indices array position. All other vector values are
+treated as zero.
+
+The storage formats that can be used with sparse vectors are float32, float64, and
+int8. Note that the binary storage format cannot be used with sparse vectors.
+
+Sparse vectors are supported when you are using Oracle Database 23.7 or later.
+
+.. seealso::
+
+    `Using VECTOR Data
+    <https://python-oracledb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/vector_data_type.html>`_ - in the documentation
+    for the :ref:`oracledb` driver.
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.0.41 - Added VECTOR datatype
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.0.43 - Added DENSE/SPARSE support
+
+CREATE TABLE support for VECTOR
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+With the :class:`.VECTOR` datatype, you can specify the number of dimensions,
+the storage format, and the storage type for the data. Valid values for the
+storage format are enum members of :class:`.VectorStorageFormat`. Valid values
+for the storage type are enum members of :class:`.VectorStorageType`. If
+storage type is not specified, a DENSE vector is created by default.
+
+To create a table that includes a :class:`.VECTOR` column::
+
+    from sqlalchemy.dialects.oracle import (
+        VECTOR,
+        VectorStorageFormat,
+        VectorStorageType,
+    )
+
+    t = Table(
+        "t1",
+        metadata,
+        Column("id", Integer, primary_key=True),
+        Column(
+            "embedding",
+            VECTOR(
+                dim=3,
+                storage_format=VectorStorageFormat.FLOAT32,
+                storage_type=VectorStorageType.SPARSE,
+            ),
+        ),
+        Column(...),
+        ...,
+    )
+
+Vectors can also be defined with an arbitrary number of dimensions and formats.
+This allows you to specify vectors of different dimensions with the various
+storage formats mentioned below.
+
+**Examples**
+
+* In this case, the storage format is flexible, allowing any vector type data to be
+  inserted, such as INT8 or BINARY etc::
+
+    vector_col: Mapped[array.array] = mapped_column(VECTOR(dim=3))
+
+* The dimension is flexible in this case, meaning that any dimension vector can
+  be used::
+
+    vector_col: Mapped[array.array] = mapped_column(
+        VECTOR(storage_format=VectorStorageType.INT8)
+    )
+
+* Both the dimensions and the storage format are flexible. It creates a DENSE vector::
+
+    vector_col: Mapped[array.array] = mapped_column(VECTOR)
+
+* To create a SPARSE vector with both dimensions and the storage format as flexible,
+  use the :attr:`.VectorStorageType.SPARSE` storage type::
+
+    vector_col: Mapped[array.array] = mapped_column(
+        VECTOR(storage_type=VectorStorageType.SPARSE)
+    )
+
+Python Datatypes for VECTOR
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+VECTOR data can be inserted using Python list or Python ``array.array()`` objects.
+Python arrays of type FLOAT (32-bit), DOUBLE (64-bit), INT (8-bit signed integers),
+or BINARY (8-bit unsigned integers) are used as bind values when inserting
+VECTOR columns::
+
+    from sqlalchemy import insert, select
+
+    with engine.begin() as conn:
+        conn.execute(
+            insert(t1),
+            {"id": 1, "embedding": [1, 2, 3]},
+        )
+
+Data can be inserted into a sparse vector using the :class:`_oracle.SparseVector`
+class, creating an object consisting of the number of dimensions, an array of indices, and a
+corresponding array of values::
+
+    from sqlalchemy import insert, select
+    from sqlalchemy.dialects.oracle import SparseVector
+
+    sparse_val = SparseVector(10, [1, 2], array.array("d", [23.45, 221.22]))
+
+    with engine.begin() as conn:
+        conn.execute(
+            insert(t1),
+            {"id": 1, "embedding": sparse_val},
+        )
+
+VECTOR Indexes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The VECTOR feature supports an Oracle-specific parameter ``oracle_vector``
+on the :class:`.Index` construct, which allows the construction of VECTOR
+indexes.
+
+SPARSE vectors cannot be used in the creation of vector indexes.
+
+To utilize VECTOR indexing, set the ``oracle_vector`` parameter to True to use
+the default values provided by Oracle. HNSW is the default indexing method::
+
+    from sqlalchemy import Index
+
+    Index(
+        "vector_index",
+        t1.c.embedding,
+        oracle_vector=True,
+    )
+
+The full range of parameters for vector indexes are available by using the
+:class:`.VectorIndexConfig` dataclass in place of a boolean; this dataclass
+allows full configuration of the index::
+
+    Index(
+        "hnsw_vector_index",
+        t1.c.embedding,
+        oracle_vector=VectorIndexConfig(
+            index_type=VectorIndexType.HNSW,
+            distance=VectorDistanceType.COSINE,
+            accuracy=90,
+            hnsw_neighbors=5,
+            hnsw_efconstruction=20,
+            parallel=10,
+        ),
+    )
+
+    Index(
+        "ivf_vector_index",
+        t1.c.embedding,
+        oracle_vector=VectorIndexConfig(
+            index_type=VectorIndexType.IVF,
+            distance=VectorDistanceType.DOT,
+            accuracy=90,
+            ivf_neighbor_partitions=5,
+        ),
+    )
+
+For complete explanation of these parameters, see the Oracle documentation linked
+below.
+
+.. seealso::
+
+    `CREATE VECTOR INDEX <https://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=dblatest&id=GUID-B396C369-54BB-4098-A0DD-7C54B3A0D66F>`_ - in the Oracle documentation
+
+
+
+Similarity Searching
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When using the :class:`_oracle.VECTOR` datatype with a :class:`.Column` or similar
+ORM mapped construct, additional comparison functions are available, including:
+
+* ``l2_distance``
+* ``cosine_distance``
+* ``inner_product``
+
+Example Usage::
+
+    result_vector = connection.scalars(
+        select(t1).order_by(t1.embedding.l2_distance([2, 3, 4])).limit(3)
+    )
+
+    for user in vector:
+        print(user.id, user.embedding)
+
+FETCH APPROXIMATE support
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Approximate vector search can only be performed when all syntax and semantic
+rules are satisfied, the corresponding vector index is available, and the
+query optimizer determines to perform it. If any of these conditions are
+unmet, then an approximate search is not performed. In this case the query
+returns exact results.
+
+To enable approximate searching during similarity searches on VECTORS, the
+``oracle_fetch_approximate`` parameter may be used with the :meth:`.Select.fetch`
+clause to add ``FETCH APPROX`` to the SELECT statement::
+
+    select(users_table).fetch(5, oracle_fetch_approximate=True)
