See the &#8220;Oracle Lifetime Support Policy&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oracle.com\/us\/assets\/lifetime-support-technology-069183.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Always Good for a Surprise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s 2023. As promised, Oracle releases version 23 of its flagship database. However, initially (in April 2023), it\u2019s only available as a Development Release. Yes, the so-called &#8220;FREE&#8221; edition is a fully functional database with many features of the Enterprise Edition, but limited to 12 GB of storage and 2 GB of RAM. So, version 23.2 is really only useful for testing purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the fall, just in time for Oracle Cloud World, Oracle officially announces that version 23c is now available in its updated 23.3 version\u2014 but only in the Cloud.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the fall, just in time for Oracle Cloud World, Oracle officially announces that version 23c is now available in its updated 23.3 version\u2014 but only in the Cloud.\nWhat about the &#8220;on-premises&#8221; version? According to Oracle documentation, this is expected to be released in the first half of 2024. However, the release date is then pushed to the second half of 2024. On October 30, another delay is announced: now it&#8217;s slated for 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But why is version 23ai so important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The answer is quite simple: On April 30, 2026, Premier Support for version 19c, the legitimate predecessor for production use, will end. The version 21c released in the meantime is an &#8220;Innovation&#8221; release, which, according to Oracle, is not intended for productive environments. There was neither a version 20 nor a version 22, although Oracle had announced them as early as 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, if version 23ai doesn\u2019t arrive until summer or even fall 2025, an upgrade by the deadline of April 30, 2026, will no longer be possible. As a result, Oracle has extended the Extended Support for version 19 until December 31, 2029.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">.. and now the Sensation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On November 19, 2024, Oracle announces that Premier Support for version 19c will be extended until December 31, 2029, and that Extended Support will be available until December 31, 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in the &#8220;Oracle Lifetime Support Policy&#8221; document mentioned above, footnote 3 states: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Oracle Database 19c: Please note that for customers running Oracle Database 19c, during the Premier Support period from May 1, 2027, through December 31, 2029, Premier Support will exclude support for the following: BSAFE crypto libraries, Java or any Java-related products, and FIPS compliance. The noted exclusions will also be in effect for the Extended Support period from January 1, 2030, through December 31, 2032.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Addendum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On December 3rd Oracle specified the same footnote: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oracle Database 19c: Please note that for customers running Oracle Database 19c, during the Premier Support period of<br>May 1, 2027 through December 31, 2029, and the Extended Support period from January 1, 2030 through December 31, 2032,<br>support for the following will be excluded:<br>\u25aa Java 8 related third-party software \u2013 primarily impacts the Oracle Database 19c ports (i.e., on AIX, zLinux, HPUX, Solaris,<br>Windows); Java 8 Extended support ends December 2030 and Oracle Database 19c will no longer receive updates for<br>Java after that date.<br>\u25aa FIPS compliance \u2013 Oracle Database 19c cryptographic libraries are validated under FIPS 140-2.
