New AQ Background Architecture in Oracle 12c

I know a some really high profile customers making heavy use of Oracle Advanced Queuing. Now in Oracle Database 12c there’s a change in the background architecture of AQ. The doc describes it more clearly than I ever could:

• New AQ 3-tier-design of AQ’s background architecture

As far as I can see there shouldn’t be any backwards compatibility issues. But (as always) I’d be happy to hear, read and learn about your experiences 🙂

And see a list of changes, additions, enhancements and new features of AQ here:

• New AQ Features in Oracle Database 12.1.0.2
  • JMS Streaming
• New AQ Features in Oracle Database 12.1.0.1
  • JMS Shared Queues
  • Result Cache Enhancement
  • LONG VARCHAR Support
  • Support for Tansient Standby Rolling Upgrades
