  • 1.  Support of Oracle 12c for DE 12.1

    Posted Feb 20, 2020 03:57 PM
    We are working towards upgrading our db version, I wanted to confirm this instead of assuming with this. The vendor doc states that 12c is supported for DE 12.1 but specifically is 12.2.01 supported? This is the version we are looking at going to.

    Hi Travis,

    DE r12.2 supports Oracle 12c.  Here is the support matrix URL.

    Thanks,

    Thanks but I was hoping to get confirmation that specifically 12.2.01 is supported. I mentioned in my post that I saw in the doc that 12c is supported but we can't take any chances and assume that 12.2.01 is supported. We just wanted to confirm before we move forward with our upgrade.

    Hi,

    DE should work with Oracle 12c R2 version as well. I dont see any reason why it will not work even though it is not certified.
    And also I hear that Oracle 12cR2 support is going to end this year end, so you may want to move to latest DE and latest Oracle

    Hope it helps!

    Thanks Kiran. From my understanding, 19c is not used heavily yet at my company. Also, we are not on the latest  version of DE, we are on 12.1 which I think does not support 19c and we can't upgrade right now. We will likely look to upgrade DE plus the db version when the 12.2.0.1 is out of support.
