# Oracle Database now generally available

Oracle Database protocol support is now available for production use.

**What’s new:**

* **Oracle Database GA**: Support for Oracle 19c and 21c is now available for production use. Aembit injects username/password credentials into Oracle TNS connections at authentication time, eliminating static database passwords without modifying your application code.
* **TLS connections**: Oracle database connections can now use TLS via the TCP/IP with TLS (TCPS) protocol. You can enable TLS independently on the client-to-proxy and proxy-to-database sides by checking the **TLS** checkbox on the **Port** and **Forward to Port** fields in the Server Workload configuration.
* **Improved Oracle error handling**: Agent Proxy now returns clearer ORA-\* error messages when Oracle authentication fails, making it easier to diagnose credential injection and configuration issues.
* **Prometheus observability**: Oracle credential injection events now appear in the `aembit_agent_proxy_credential_injections_total` metric with `application_protocol="oracleDatabase"`, so you can monitor Oracle credential operations alongside other supported protocols.
