Something to mention:

  • There’s no bug fixing support for Oracle Database 11.2.0.3 or below available anymore
  • If you’ll compare the effort to upgrade to Oracle Database 11.2.0.4 to Oracle 12.1.0.2 you’ll have to do the exact same amount of work. tests etc – no difference
  • End of Premier Support means that Oracle will not offer fixes for new issues unless an extra-cost offer called Extended Support has been purchased. But you’ll still get Sustaining Support until you’ll stop working on the release. For a description what terms such as Premier Support, Extended Support and Sustaining Support mean please refer to the Lifetime Support Policy. Premier Support for Oracle Database 11.2 ended on Jan-31,
