Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle now supports the Spatial Patch Bundle (SPB) for the January 2025 Release Update (RU) for Oracle Database version 19c. This update delivers important fixes for Oracle Spatial and Graph functionality, helping ensure reliable and optimal performance for your spatial operations.

You can now create new DB instances or upgrade existing ones to engine version ‘19.0.0.0.ru-2025-01.spb-1.r1’. The SPB engine version will be visible in the Amazon Web Services Console by selecting the "Spatial Patch Bundle Engine Versions" checkbox in the engine version selector, making it simple to identify and implement the latest spatial patches for your database environment.

To learn more about Oracle SPBs supported on Amazon RDS for each engine version, see the Amazon RDS for Oracle Release notes.
