Oracle Database is distributed in various flavors (multiple cloud and on-premises offers) and has various support stages (such as Premier, Extended, Sustaining or Custom Market Driven). Depending on these, release dates may vary. This page documents Premier and Extended support dates for Oracle Database On-Premises Server Releases for Linux x86-64.
According to the Release Schedule of Current Database Releases (february 13, 2023 update) there are two types of Oracle Database releases:
- Long Term Release (LTR), which are supported for 5 years with Premier Support, followed by 3 years with Extended Support. Note that Oracle Corporation may offer, for some LTR, one year of free Extended Support.
- Innovation Release, which are supported for at least 2 years with Premier Support and have no Extended Support.
