We’re excited to share that CPAT version 26.5.0 is now available as of May 2026.
If you’re not familiar with the tool, you’ll find links at the end of this post to previous articles containing everything you need to know.
One of my favorite additions is support for the new Transportable Tablespaces (TTS) migration method to the Autonomous AI Database.
Another great enhancement is the STATISTICS option for --gatherdetails
It provides information about:
- Optimizer statistics extensions
- Statistics preferences defined at the table level
- Global statistics preferences
- Tables configured with a parallel degree setting

It gathers some extra information related to statistics.
Recently Fixed Bugs or Other Changes:

has_user_defined_resource_manager_objects

checks into a single check, and fixed the check's logic
