Oracle 23ai Support Extended
The latest long-term release of Oracle 23ai now has the premier support until 2031. This means that organisations can take advantage of new features from Oracle 23ai to innovate new applications and database enhancements with the assurance that they will be supported longer.
Oracle 19c Support Extended
Oracle19c has been extended up to 2032 (Extended Support), and Premier support up to 2029. Extended support ensures that the current customers retain their stability and reliability with regular patches and feature sets. The November 2022 announcement of MRPs (Monthly Recommended Patches), ensures customers can access recommended and well-tested patches monthly. This helps avoid longer wait times for the patches with RURs that were sunset as of Jan 2023.
On-premise customers and 23ai
23ai is currently available in OCI and for ODA. For on-premise customers, the 19c support extension provides an excellent opportunity for Dbvisit customers to retain with 19c and then plan for an upgrade to 23ai when it's announced for on-premise. Our documentation outlines Dbvisit support for Oracle versions.
On-premise customers can begin trialling the FREE version of 23a. Dbvisit StandbyMP also fully supports the FREE version of 23ai for On-premises (as well as ODA and Oracle Cloud) use on both Linux and Windows. You can read more about this in my 23ai Installation Blog.
ODA Supports 23ai
The announcement of 23ai support on ODA platforms means ODA customers can now upgrade/migrate from 19c and older versions of ODA to the new 23ai. I will note here also that the new ODA X10 is a great piece of hardware and now includes support for Oracle Standard Edition. Refer to the link from the documentation on how licensing works for Oracle SE2 with ODA. Licensing for Oracle SE2 on ODA.
Let's summarise the Oracle MoS note.
#1. Oracle 19c Premier Support ends in Dec 2029.
