Updating non Key-Preserved Table
There used to be the BYPASS_UJVC hint that allowed to update a non key-preserved table.
It is still there, but it must have stopped working around 11.2.
It turns out that Oracle introduced a fix control that seems to be doing the same in 19.10.

SYS and Extended Data Types
It is a widely known fact that Oracle supports a maximum size of 32,767 bytes for the VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, and RAW data types (Extended Data Types) provided that MAX_STRING_SIZE = EXTENDED.
What I recently discovered is that SYS can create such columns even when MAX_STRING_SIZE = STANDARD.
Creating a Table for Exchange and Copying Indexes
It is something Oracle added in one of the latest Release Updates of 19c. I believe I discovered it either in 19.7 or 19.8 originally.
