The first RU (Release Update) for Oracle 12.2.0.1 is available

What is an RU?
An RU is a Release Update. And there’s not much difference except for the name to an Proactive Bundle Patch.

In addition there are RURs: Release Update Revisions.
Those are very similar to Patch Set Updates containing less changes.

You may have read my previous blog posts from the past years: I strongly favor RUs (formerly known as Proactive Bundle Patches) over RURs (formerly known as PSUs) for many reasons:

Therefore I will – of course – highly recommend RUs. But there will be more posts in the next weeks about all the details of RUs and RURs and the potential changes. And Support is going to release a number of new notes with FAQs and other useful information about RUs and RURs.
