Hi
We are just getting out from 11.2.0.4 and migrating to 12cR2 (12.2.0.1)
There are various reasons for not going to 18c or 19c at this point but down the road, of course we will
The question we have is on the premier support and extended support for 12.2.0.1
Based on the MOS --> Release Schedule of Current Database Releases (Doc ID 742060.1) the patching would end for 12.2.0.1 in Nov 2020 (If we are interpreting this correctly)
It says that premier support for 12.2 Family ends in Jan 2023 but it seems that 18c and 19c IS actually part of the 12.2 family. So based on that does it mean we would need to upgrade to 18c or 19c AFTER Nov 2020 to be able to get Premier or Extended support for 12.2.0.1?
We are just trying to figure out how much time we would have AFTER we upgrade to 12.2.0.1 before we would need to upgrade to 19c? We dont want to be in a position where we dont have support for 12.2.0.1
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
