What are the key advantages and considerations of using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) in the...

RAG in Oracle AI Vector Search integrates vector search with LLMs, leveraging database-stored data. A key advantage is its use of existing database security and access controls (D), ensuring that sensitive enterprise data remains secure while being accessible to LLMs, aligning with Oracle’s security model (e.g., roles, privileges). Performance optimization (A) occurs but isn’t the primary focus; storage increases are minimal compared to security benefits. Real-time extraction (B) is possible but not RAG’s core strength, which lies in static data augmentation. Training LLMs (C) is unrelated to RAG, which uses pre-trained models. Oracle emphasizes security integration as a standout RAG feature.
