Why you should upgrade to Oracle Database 12c Release 2 (Oracle 12.2 and 18c)

by Charles Kim, Viscosity

Oracle continues to be the fastest, state-of-the-art, revolutionary database in the world. Oracle Database 18c, now available for on-premise customers, has been generally available for Oracle Cloud and Engineered Systems customers since February 2018. Soon, you will be able to unlock the full potential of the new database features and transform your IT operations.

Companies can recognize immediate ROI by upgrading to Oracle Database 12c Release 2 and 18c. Come and learn what you will gain when you upgrade to the latest and greatest release of Oracle Database to:

Achieve another level of data scalability and horizontal partitioning with Sharding
Attain higher levels of SLA with new features in Data Guard
Eliminate downtime with enhanced online features for table and index maintenance
Scale performance exponentially with In-Memory (IM) Column store; in Oracle 12cR2 there are additional In-Memory enhancements (including IM Virtual Columns)
Tackle Partitioning and Index advancements in 12.2 and 18c
Secure your entire database with online encryption capabilities
Take advantage of Oracle 12cR2, object names for users, roles, tables, columns, indexes, constraints, etc., increase from 30 bytes to 128 bytes with a few limitations to easily migrate from other databases
Leverage Approximate Query Functions for performance
Utilize Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) features like Automatic Data Optimization (ADO) and Heat Maps work within individual PDBs for effective management of storage resources based on actual data usage patterns
Leverage all the latest features such as cloning and replication features for PDBs (Pluggable Databases) that enable the journey to a private, hybrid, or public cloud environment.
- With 12cR2, you can have hot-cloning (source no longer needs to be read-only), refresh clones, flashback PDB only, and build PDB-level standby plans
- Tightly control SGA, PGA, and I/O resources for individual PDBs, including how to construct standard PDB resource profiles that can be leveraged by multiple PDBs with similar resource demands

*Oracle customers need to upgrade to Oracle 12.2 by the end of this year if they are on Oracle versions 11.2. For Oracle customers who are on Oracle version 12.1, they need to upgrade to Oracle version 12.2 by July 2019.
