Who should check?
Teams with transaction exports, custom reports, datasets or integrations that rely on the order of results rather than an explicit sorting rule.
Published milestones
- 2026.2 account upgradeDefault ordering changes for the affected generic-transaction queries and datasets.
Check your Oracle account notice before scheduling an update.
What to do next
- Identify outputs whose business logic or comparison process depends on row order.
- Set the intended sort order for affected queries. Where paging needs a unique order, add a tie-breaker for rows with the same sort value.
- Compare complete results and pagination behavior, with the report or integration owner accepting the change.
What we’ll review
The selected queries and datasets, ORDER BY settings, how other systems use the row order, paging logic, and sample results from your account version.
