There is also a proper support period for Oracle Database

  • Premier Support: Full support for 5 years from product shipment
  • Extended Support: Same as or equivalent to Premier Support. Almost fully supported
  • Sustaining Support: Knowledge Base support

Along with application support, the support period of the database software is very important That's because the rare effort of a database administrator (DBA) is taken up by the upgrade. I've never seen an organization with an excellent DBA At best, there are 2-3 people, usually one person in the system, and there are many organizations where there is one person in the whole company and there is no DBA.

Therefore, it is very important to keep the support period of the database software out of control, which is the biggest concern for a single person. Oracle database products are expensive, but at the cost of support costs, maintaining resistance to support is the only resistance as a weak affair.
