Re: RESOURCE_LIMIT License confusion

So far I understood that the default setting "RESOURCE_LIMIT=TRUE" is Enterprise Edition only, and without this, resource limits set in PROFILE are not enforced. However, there is no error in Standard Edition setting "RESOURCE_LIMIT=TRUE". OTOH it may well be, that it is simply ignored in SE2, and all of the reource limits in profiles will work anyways.

However, I would appreciate, if Oracle would document this better, so that is no confusion about resource limits and licensing.

Re: ORDS API - How to setup rate Limit

Ashwin,

First, I would like you to upgrade ORDS to the latest 25.2. The version you use is obsolete and outdated.

Out-of-box, ORDS does not have any configurable parameter to restrict API call by count; it all depends upon the jdbc/ords pool and the database session profile limit.

However, I see it is achievable using some custom solutions. Please check below Jon Dixon's blog under the topic "Usage Plans & Rate Limiting"

https://blog.cloudnueva.com/ords-plsql-based-rest-api-bp

https://blog.cloudnueva.com/oci-api-gateway-ords

If your ORDS is not on the cloud, I haven't tried this, it is just an idea that -you can create your own function/table to get a counter in every API module. So when the counter reaches the limit, you can throw an error/warning message.

Thanks,

Suresh

Re: SYSTEM tablespace defaulting to dictionary managed and limited extents

Hi,

In Oracle 19c, when you perform a CREATE DATABASE operation without specifying LOCAL, the SYSTEM tablespace is created as dictionary-managed, just as you said. This is documented in the following manual.

https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/admin/creating-and-configuring-an-oracle-database.html#GUID-D8061728-6A13-4F30-AA91-EBE52F276AC3

VirtualBox 7.2 Released

VirtualBox 7.2.0 (released August 14 2025)

This is a major update. The following new features were added:

GUI: Moved global and VM tools from hamburger menus to global tools taskbar (vertically on the left) and the VM tools tabs (horizontally above the right hand panel) to make them easier to reach
Windows/Arm host: Arm virtualization of VMs added, in the unified Windows installer package
Arm host: Virtualization of Windows 11/Arm VMs
Linux host: Video decoding acceleration when 3D is enabled
Windows/Arm guest: Guest additions for new OS type Windows 11/Arm
macOS Arm host: Experimental 3D acceleration support using DXMT, removing the previous non working solution using DXVK on top of MoltenVK. 3D acceleration is not supported on macOS hosts using Intel CPUs anymore.
Storage: The NVMe storage controller emulation is now part of the open source base package

In addition, the following items were fixed or added:

Arm VMs: Note that the saved state of Arm VMs from VirtualBox 7.1 is incompatible with VirtualBox 7.2, so please shut down such VMs in saved state before upgrading to 7.2 (snapshots with associated saved state created with 7.1 will no longer work with 7.2)
VMM: Improved x86_64 and Arm CPU feature reporting when using Windows Hyper-V as the virtualization engine
VMM: Added xsave/xrestor instruction handling when using Windows/x86_64 Hyper-V as the virtualization engine, offering the x86_64-v3 instruction set extensions (including AVX and AVX2) on recent CPUs
VMM: Fixed issue when X86_64-v3 features were not passed to the guest (github:gh-36)
VMM/HM: Fixed Nested Virtualization feature on Intel CPUs
GUI: Fixed a bug in clone VM wizard which made impossible to include snapshots in clone result (github:GH-59)
GUI: Polished Preferences and Settings pages, NLS fixing
GUI: Improved handling of keyboard LEDs in the Soft Keyboard
GUI: Added checkbox for making a Shared Folder global to all VMs
GUI: Removed IO-APIC from Arm VM settings
Graphics: Avoid assertion when guest tries to use VMSVGA 3D functions when the feature is disabled
Audio: Fixed crash in rare circumstances (github:gh-72)
NAT: Multiple fixes and improvements, for example better DNS server handling, saving of the VM settings and generating a boot file name which stays within the length limit
NAT Network: Use the (almost) same code as for NAT, unifying behavior and features
NAT: Fixed possible crash in rare circumstances when no nameservers could be detected in the host system
Storage: Fixed corruption of VMDK images when resizing
Video Recording: Fixed frame synchronization, a small memory leak and other bugs
TPM: Fixed save state load failures
Arm VMs: ACPI now available
API/Unattended: Added explicit unattended installation support for Oracle Linux 10
API and VBoxManage: Added functionality to define global Shared Folders for all VMs
API: Fixed issue when OVF/OVA import resulted in a broken VM on Arm (bug #22370)
API: Fixed issue when exporting a VM which had an inaccessible disk resulted in crash
VBoxManage: Document currently unavailable NAT options
Linux host and guest: Initial support for kernel version 6.16
Linux/Solaris host: Fixed swapped scan code for Pause and Num Lock keys in the table used when relying on Xkb for translation
Windows host: Removed release assertion causing crash of VBoxUsbMon driver if unloading fails
Arm host: vboxwebsrv is now included in the packages
Linux host and guest: Introduced initial support for kernel 6.17
Linux guest: Fixed handling of (long optional) vboxvideo kernel module in init script
Linux guest: Fixed start failure of VBoxClient with kernel from the 2.6 series or older
Windows/Arm guest: Added WDDM Graphics driver, with 2D and 3D mode
Windows/Arm guest: Added Shared Folder feature
Windows Host: Added improvements in Windows drivers installation
Linux Guest Additions: Fixed issue when autorun installer was not automatically starting on Additions ISO image insert for Oracle Linux 10 and RHEL 10 guests
BIOS: Fixed keyboard translation, added and updated several entries and do not report keypresses when scan code and ASCII code are both zero
BIOS: Fixed error reporting fo single sided floppy disks
UEFI: Added workaround for Grub bug causing guest OS crashes
UEFI: Fixed macOS kernel logging over serial port (github:gh-82)
3rd Party Tools: Eliminated build time dependency on libIDL and IASL
