Thin mode fails with ORA-24964 when trying to open a PDB migrated from Oracle 19c to 26ai

まず、提供されているスクリプト test_thin.py と test_thick.py を説明されている移行済み PDB に対して実行し、その後、thin モードと thick モードにおける ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE test OPEN READ WRITE の処理を比較します。ORA-24964 応答の原因となっている thin モードのエントリポイントを追跡します。thin モードのコマンドがそのエラーなしで PDB を正常に開ければ完了です。

1. What versions are you using?

Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Edition Release 19.0.0.0.0 - Production
Version 19.28.0.0.0

Oracle AI Database 26ai Enterprise Edition Release 23.26.1.0.0 - Production
Version 23.26.1.0.0

platform.platform: Linux-5.15.0-319.201.4.2.el8uek.x86_64-x86_64-with-glibc2.28
sys.maxsize > 2**32: True
platform.python_version: 3.12.13
oracledb.__version__: 4.0.1

2. Is it an error or a hang or a crash?

Command ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE test OPEN READ WRITE fails with ORA-24964: ALTER SESSION SET CONTAINER error when run in oracledb thin mode

3. What error(s) or behavior you are seeing?

First, I detach a PDB from 19c with commands:
ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE test UNPLUG INTO '/tmp/test.pdb';

Then I attach it to 26ai:
create pluggable database test as clone using '/tmp/test.pdb';

Finally, I'm trying to open it:
ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE test OPEN READ WRITE;

If I run last command using sqlplus or oracledb in thick mode, PDB gets automatically upgraded and open after 20 minutes.

If I run last command using oracledb in thin mode, last command fails with error ORA-24964 after fer seconds.

4. Does your application call init_oracle_client()?

Failing application does not call init_oracle_client(), it runs in thin mode.

I tried same command with calling init_oracle_client() and using thick mode and it worked fine.

5. Include a runnable Python script that shows the problem.

This fails:

import oracledb

# Thin mode is default
print("Running in Thin mode:", oracledb.is_thin_mode())

dsn = "hostname:1521/CDB"

connection = oracledb.connect(
    user="sys",
    password="password",
    dsn=dsn,
    mode=oracledb.SYSDBA
)

cursor = connection.cursor()

try:
    cursor.execute(
        "ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE test OPEN READ WRITE"
    )
    connection.commit()
    print("PDB opened successfully in Thin mode")

except Exception as e:
    print("Thin mode error:")
    print(e)

finally:
    cursor.close()
    connection.close()

$ python3.12 test_thin.py
Running in Thin mode: True
Thin mode error:
ORA-24964: ALTER SESSION SET CONTAINER error

This succeeds:

import oracledb

# Enable Thick mode
oracledb.init_oracle_client(
    lib_dir="/u01/app/oracle/product/23/dbhome_1/lib"
)

print("Running in Thin mode:", oracledb.is_thin_mode())

dsn = "hostname:1521/CDB"

connection = oracledb.connect(
    user="sys",
    password="password",
    dsn=dsn,
    mode=oracledb.SYSDBA
)

cursor = connection.cursor()

try:
    cursor.execute(
        "ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE test OPEN READ WRITE"
    )
    connection.commit()
    print("PDB opened successfully in Thick mode")

except Exception as e:
    print("Thick mode error:")
    print(e)

finally:
    cursor.close()
    connection.close()

$ python3.12 test_thick.py
