Oracle 12.1 Users Warned As Mainstream Support Ends In July

Oracle 12.1 users beware – your software will soon become outdated! Mainstream support for this version of the popular database management system ends in July 2022, which means you’ll no longer be able to receive security patches or technical support from Oracle. What does this mean for your business? Read on to find out.

Oracle has been urging customers to upgrade to its newer product, Oracle 19c, for some time now. The company says that Oracle 19c is the “cloud-ready” version of the database and offers significant performance and security improvements over 12.1.

However, many users are reluctant to upgrade due to the cost and complexity involved. Upgrading an Oracle database can be a time-consuming and expensive process, particularly for larger organizations with multiple databases.

If you are using Oracle 12.1, now is the time to start planning your upgrade to Oracle 19c. Talk to your IT team and assess the costs and benefits of upgrading before mainstream support ends in July.
