Dynamic AI-to-Database Queries with Claude, MCP, and OceanBase
Learn how to connect Claude to OceanBase using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and enable dynamic schema discovery and natural-language SQL without brittle prompt engineering.
Beyond Memorization: How seekdb M0 Teaches Agents to Learn
seekdb M0 splits accumulated agent knowledge into Experience (strategy) and Skill (operations), connected by progressive loading. On AppWorld, GPT-4o + M0 hits 39% pass rate vs 24% baseline, with −35% steps and −32% tokens.
What FinTech Infrastructure Demands in the AI Era
OceanBase has spent years working alongside leading fintech companies like AliPay, GCash, and DANA. Here's what we've learned about what fintech data infrastructure really needs, and how AI is raising the bar, and how OceanBase addresses the needs with an unified architecture.
Beyond HTAP: What a Unified Data Platform Actually Requires
OceanBase has evolved from an OLTP-first database into a unified platform that handles transactions, real-time analytics, and AI inference on a single engine — no separate warehouses, no ETL pipelines, no vector database add-ons.
RPO and RTO Explained: A Decision Framework for Database DR Architecture
Learn how to calculate RTO and RPO requirements for your database, avoid common sizing mistakes, and map your targets to the right disaster recovery architecture.
Cross-Cloud DR Networking: Sync Methods & Paths
In this post, we’ll break down the sync methods, network paths, latency factors, and cost trade-offs that shape whether a cross-cloud deployment is viable in practice.
AI Agents Need More Than Storage. OceanBase Built It Into the Engine
AI agents hit the database hundreds of times per decision. Learn why bolted-on vector plugins and standalone vector databases fail in production — and how OceanBase 4.4.2 LTS collapses the agent data pipeline into a single SQL query.
Intrinsic Observability: Build an Insight Agent on seekdb
bubseek is a self-driven insight Agent that turns every agent interaction into queryable data on OceanBase seekdb — making observability intrinsic, not bolted on.
Stop Letting Agents Write Directly to Production: Git-Like Version Control for Your Data
seekdb 1.2.0 adds Fork Database, DIFF TABLE, and MERGE TABLE — Git-like branching, diffing, and merging for your data, built into the database engine.
Cross-Cloud Disaster Recovery on OceanBase Cloud: How Primary-Standby Replication Works
How OceanBase Cloud's cross-cloud primary-standby works — two sync methods, failover mechanics, and when to choose it over active-active.

I Built a Knowledge Base That Thinks — Inspired by Karpathy's LLM Wiki
Inspired by Karpathy's LLM Wiki, ex-brain is an open-source personal knowledge base that compiles, links, and evolves your notes using LLMs and seekdb's hybrid search.
Your AI Is Only as Good as Your OLTP Layer
AI applications need fresh, consistent, predictable data — the exact properties a strong OLTP database provides. Here's what OceanBase's latest LTS release brings to the table.
