Terminology Used in this Article
- Release
- This is the first 3 digits of the Oracle Database (RDBMS). Click on the links in this column to see support status of the release, recent server alerts and latest information on Patch Sets. For 8.1.7 onwards these links also include information about which Patch Sets are available on which platforms.
- Patch Set
- Patch sets are Oracle Corporation’s mechanism for delivering fully tested and integrated product fixes on a regular basis. Patch sets provide bug fixes only; they may include limited new functionality but do not change existing correct functionality, and do not require certification on the target system. Application of a Patch set changes the 4th digit of the Oracle Database release.
Patch Sets are released individually for each platform but contain a common set of generic bug fixes which may be supplemented by additional port specific bug fixes. Eg: 10.1.0.4 on AIX will contain the same generic bug fixes as 10.1.0.4 on Solaris.
Patch sets are cumulative. For example, 10.1.0.4 includes all the fixes in 10.1.0.3 as well as new fixes for 10.1.0.4.
The release dates of current Patch Sets on each platform are detailed in Note:742060.1- Next Patch Set
- This column shows the version of the next expected Patch Set. Note that this is not a guarantee that the listed patch set will be released, and if it is released it may not be produced for all platforms.
“None” indicates no more patch sets are planned.- Terminal Patch Set
- This is the final patch set for the release. (Some platforms may have a lower terminal patch set)
- Patch Set Exception (PSE) / Interim Patch
- The terms “Interim Patch” and “Patch Set Exception” are synonymous. If a customer encounters a critical problem that requires a fix prior to the next patch set becoming available then they can request that a one off fix is made available on top of the latest patch set. Such requests require suitable technical and business justification before being processed, and the resulting fixes are not regression tested. Patch set exceptions are only available:
- On Oracle releases eligible for Premier Support or where a customer has purchased Extended Support
- On the latest patch set on the given release / platform
- Subject to suitable technical and business justification
- Subject to technical feasibility
Full details of “Interim Patches” can be see from the link in Note:209768.1 which should be read in conjunction with the “patching end” dates in Note:742060.1
- Premier Support
- This term applies to server releases >= 9.2 only.
See Note:971415.1 for links to the Lifetime Support Policy documents. Allows for fixes to new bugs / issues to be provided. Customers are expected to be on the latest Patch Set in order to get any Patch Set Exception (a one off bug fix).- Extended Support
- This term applies to server releases >= 9.2 only.
See Note:971415.1 for links to the Lifetime Support Policy documents. This is a purchasable support option which allows one-off fixes (Patch Set Exceptions) to be obtained for critical issues.- Limited Extended Support
- Extended Support is available but is limited to Severity 1 fixes only; critical patch updates will not be made available.
- Market-Driven Support
- See Market Driven Support (MDS) for Oracle Database (10gR2).
Severity 1 fixes only.- Sustaining Support
- This term applies to server releases >= 9.2 only.
See Note:971415.1 for links to the Lifetime Support Policy documents. Customers get indefinite assistance with service requests, on a commercially reasonable basis, 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.- Error Correction Support (ECS)
- This term applies to server releases <= 9.0 only.
Allows for fixes to new bugs / issues to be provided. Customers are expected to be on the latestPatch Set in order to get any Patch Set Exception (a one off bug fix). Once a release has passed its Error Correction Support date it enters Extended Assistance Support.- Extended Maintenance Support (EMS)
- This term applies to server releases <= 9.0 only.
This is a purchasable support option which allows one-off fixes (Patch Set Exceptions) to be obtained for critical issues. Customers who have not purchased EMS cannot get fixes for new issues. EMS customers must be on the Terminal Patch Set of the given release.- Extended Assistance Support (EAS)
- This term applies to server releases <= 9.0 only.
More details of what EAS encompasses can be seen in any of the desupport notices. Most importantly EAS does NOT include:
- New bug fixes nor backports of existing fixes
- Escalation support nor response time adherence
