Blog post [Intelligent observability for Oracle and SQL databases](https://www.dynatrace.com/news/blog/intelligent-observability-for-oracle-and-sql-databases/) mentions new functionality for metrics collected from Oracle/MSSQL dbs. However, there is no info which version of Dynatrace will include this nice functionality. As blog post says it should be available now, but I cannot find it in SaaS 1.239, neither nothing new in Dynatrace Hub. Any hints about this ? ---

We’d be interested for this as well (Managed). Even more, we’d be interested when and how this will be licensed (DDUs? Will this be in default infrastructure monitoring?). ---

My guess is that its foreshadowing the EF 2.0 extensions for Oracle (out this week I think) and SQL server (out within 3 months). ---

Hey All, the Oracle extension will be available for clusters v1.239 and above, but we have a slight delay with publishing the extension in DT Hub. As all the other EF2.0 extensions it will be consuming DDUs. ---

I can confirm, that SaaS 1.239 allow to install Oracle extension from Hub. ![rastislav_danis_0-1651131472549.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/d/dad1799e0a9b5d6487928adffc01fde85ed12e33.png) ---

Hello [@dglugla](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/27556) ! I miss docs description for Oracle user access requirements (for user used to db connection). I assume select from v$ tables, but it would be nice to have it in docs. EDIT: Maybe those reqs are same as for DB Insights for Oracle ([https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/database-insights#oracle-permissions](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/database-insights#oracle-permissions)), please confirm. ---

Hello, Still not available for Managed. Do we have the same information than DB Insights for Oracle ? Or is it complementary? And if so how? ---

Thanks Darek! And the MSSQL extension? When will that be available? ---

So far Oracle extension and Oracle DB Insights are partially complementary, but we’ll eventually drop support for DB Insights entirely and deprecate it: [https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/how-to-use-dynatrace/databases/database-insights](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/how-to-use-dynatrace/databases/database-insights)
