RDBMS -- 19C's Premier Support & 23C consideration

For 19C customers, currently Latest RU is 19.22.  However, 19C's premier support will end on April 30. Then this will happen -> “Premier Support (PS) ends April 30, 2024, two years of waived Extended Support (ES) fees will be in effect from May 1, 2024 until April 30, 2026.”

Error correction continues until 2026. In any case, we should be on 19C and be ready for the future  23C upgrades. (considering, 23C is the latest long term support release and will be available for on-premises starting 1H CY2024)

Additional information for 19C:

Premier Support (PS) ends: April 30, 2024

Waived Extended Support (ES): May 1, 2024 - April 30, 2026 (No fees required during this period)

Paid Extended Support (ES): May 1, 2026 - April 30, 2027 (Fees apply)

Patching:

You will have access to error correction and patching until April 30, 2027, but there's a distinction:

With paid Extended Support: You will have access to all available patches.

Without paid Extended Support (after April 30, 2026): You will only have access to patches released before May 1, 2026. This includes Monthly Recommended Patches (MRPs) if you are using a compatible platform.

19c Release Update Revisions (RURs):

These are no longer relevant for Oracle Database 19c versions 19.17.0 and above. You should focus on Monthly Recommended Patches (MRPs) instead, but be aware of their platform limitations.
