Oracle–Google AI tie-up

Oracle and Google Cloud widened their database partnership on April 22, adding Gemini-powered access to Oracle data inside Google Cloud. (oracle.com) The new piece is an Oracle AI Database Agent for Gemini Enterprise, which lets users ask questions in plain language instead of writing Structured Query Language, or SQL. Oracle said the agent is now available through Google Cloud Marketplace. (oracle.com) Oracle Database@Google Cloud is a service that runs Oracle database systems on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure hardware placed inside Google Cloud data centers. Google says that setup keeps workloads in Google Cloud while Oracle’s Exadata systems run in the same facilities with low latency. (cloud.google.com) Google said the service now spans 15 regions and 20 sites globally, including Milan, Iowa, São Paulo, Tokyo, Sydney, and Mumbai. Google also said Mexico and Turin are planned next. (cloud.google.com) The pitch to customers is that they can keep Oracle as their system of record and connect it more directly to Google tools such as Gemini and BigQuery. Google framed the update as a way to move data from operational databases to analytics and artificial intelligence tools without building custom natural-language-to-database software. (cloud.google.com) Oracle is also tying in OCI GoldenGate, its data replication service, for online migrations and near-real-time feeds into analytics platforms including BigQuery. Oracle’s data integration team said GoldenGate can keep source and target systems synchronized during cutovers and stream change data to BigQuery in near real time. (blogs.oracle.com) The companies have been building toward this for more than a year. Google announced broader Oracle Database@Google Cloud expansion at Next in April 2025, after launching the service in July 2024, and said the goal was to help customers migrate Oracle workloads while using Google’s data and AI products. (cloud.google.com) Oracle has also been widening its Gemini relationship beyond Google Cloud data centers. In August 2025, Oracle said it would offer Gemini models through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Generative AI, starting with Gemini 2.5. (oracle.com) Oracle said customers including payments company Worldline are already using Oracle AI Database@Google Cloud for cloud migration and data work. The immediate next step is adoption: whether large Oracle customers use Gemini’s chat-style interface to query governed business data instead of relying on specialist database teams. (oracle.com)
