In computing, Oracle Advanced Queuing (AQ) is a sort of Message Oriented Middleware developed by Oracle Corporation and integrated into its Oracle database.
AQ uses database structures as a repository for asynchronous queuing as an element in various Oracle-oriented and heterogeneous operations. Oracle features utilising Advanced Queuing include:
- Oracle Data Guard
- Oracle Streams
In Oracle Data Guard primary databases the queue monitor process (often running as qmn0) interacts with AQ.
As of Oracle release 9.2, AQ comes bundled with Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition at no extra cost.
As of Oracle release 10.1, AQ is integrated into Oracle Streams, and is called "Oracle Streams AQ".
Oracle AQ is used as the internal Java Message Service provider in the Oracle Enterprise Service Bus. In addition to asynchronous message exchanges (point-to-point and Publish/subscribe), Oracle AQ can also perform message transformation via SQL functions.
Oracle AQ is available in all editions of Oracle database, including XE df .

Famous quotes containing the words oracle and/or advanced:
“There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: the way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.”
—Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 30:18-19.
From the oracle of Agur, son of Jakeh.
“How oft when men are at the point of death
Have they been merry! which their keepers call
A lightning before death: O, how may I
Call this a lightning? O my love! my wife!
Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath,
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:
Thou art not conquered; beauty’s ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
And death’s pale flag is not advanced there.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
