11:10AM Oracle Database Features missing out until you upgrade to 19c (or 20c)! by Biju Thomas

Now that Oracle is releasing a major version of the database every year, what is the big hurry in upgrading the database to 19c, right? There are quite a few reasons. Let’s talk about annual releases, database support, changes in licensing (something that benefits the customer, can you believe it!), a couple of great new additions in Standard Edition, and some of the best database features you should be using once you upgrade the database to 19c. You might think, why am I still talking about 19c, when 20c is “almost” GA. I will explain why, and when you should consider 20c or 21c.
