In the past, the Oracle database had a long time between releases but included hundreds of new features and improvements. This long release cycle led to less agility in meeting customers’ requirements in the ever-changing IT landscape.
To address this challenge, Oracle has moved to a yearly release cadence allowing us to better meet your database requirements.
At the end of this 90 minute virtual classroom, you'll have a clear understanding of the new release model, its implications and the inherent agility it delivers.
This interactive session will overview what the new release model entails:
- Understand the difference between Interim and Long-Term Support Releases
- What are Release Updates and Release Update Revisions and which one should you choose?
- Patching basics and principles
- Data Patch – what is it good for?
- Oracle Java VM (OJVM) patching improvements
