Dynamic Programming Languages, Web and Database Servers
The following features, enhancements, and changes related to programming languages, web servers, and database servers are introduced in this Oracle Linux 9 release.
A new module stream: postgresql:18
Oracle Linux 9.8 introduces PostgreSQL 18 as the postgresql:18 module stream.
New ruby:4.0 runtime module stream with database connectors
The ruby module provides a new Ruby 4.0 runtime, including database connector support. As a result, Oracle Linux 9.8 users can use Ruby 4.0 alongside existing Ruby streams to develop and run Ruby applications with supported database connectivity.
The mysql:8.4 module now includes the perl-DBD-MySQL package
This update adds the perl-DBD-MySQL package to the mysql:8.4 module. Starting with Oracle Linux 9.7, the perl-DBD-MySQL package is linked against libmysqlclient instead of libmariadb. To ensure compatibility, perl-DBD-MySQL is included within mysql:8.4. As a result, the perl-DBD-MySQL package is fully compatible with the mysql:8.4 module, which resolves dependency conflicts and installation failures.
