Oracle Database 12.1.0.2 is available!!!

Oracle Database 12.1.0.2 is available for download now. It is the most comprehensive patch set we’ve ever built. Look up the list of inclusions – and it includes the new marquee feature OracleDatabase In-Memory.

Three things important to mention:

  • It is a full release – no need to get Oracle Database 12.1.0.1
  • Even though it is a patch set it will be available on OTN and eDelivery – and Oracle Database 12.1.0.1 will be removed instantly
  • For now it is an Enterprise Edition install only – SE and SE One may follow later.
    Please see MOS Note:1905806.1 for further details.

And it contains a bunch of new things and improvements:

  • Oracle Database In-Memory
  • Oracle Big Data SQL
  • Oracle JSON Document Store
  • Oracle REST Data Services
  • Improvements to Oracle Multitenant
  • Advanced Index Compression
  • Zone Maps
  • Approximate Count Distinct
  • Attribute Clustering
  • Full Database Caching
  • Rapid Home Provisioning

Availability is for the following platforms right now:

Time to upgrade!!!
