JDBC driver 23.2.0.0 was planned to be taken into use, but it contained bugs and the version was explicitly prohibited from dependency management in this ticket: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/35970.
Background of the topic is covered here: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/35006
There is a newer version 23.3.0.23.09 published by Oracle a few weeks back - it might have the corrections discussed earlier, as also Oracle 23c release is coming closer.
Does it make sense to re-check and update the dependency management for the upcoming SpringBoot 3.2 release?

Thanks for raising this. It looks like 23.3.0.23.09 is OK. Please follow https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/38121.
