Oracle Database 19c is the final, and therefore 'long term support' release
of the Oracle Database 12c family of products (which includes Oracle
Database 18c). 'Long term support' means that Oracle Database 19c
comes with 4 years of premium support and a minimum of 3 years
extended support.
Oracle Database 19c builds upon the innovations of previous releases such
as Multitenant, In-Memory, JSON support, Sharding and many other
features that enable Oracle’s Autonomous Database Cloud Services. This
latest release of the world’s most popular database also introduces new
functionality, providing customers with a multi-model enterprise-class
database for all their typical use cases, including:
• Operational database use cases such as; traditional transactions, real-time analytics, JSON
document stores and Internet of Things (IoT) applications
• Analytical database use cases such as; traditional and real-time data warehouses and data marts,
big data lakes and graph analytics
• Performance Tuning and Diagnostics Automatic memory and resource management, automatic
index and materialized view advisors, Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor, Automatic Database
Workload capture & replay and Automatic Workload Repository.
In March 2018, Oracle introduced the Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW) cloud service, and this
was followed in August 2018 with the introduction of the Autonomous Transaction Processing (ATP)
cloud service. By utilizing automated database functionality with machine-learning techniques, these
Autonomous Database Cloud services can provide a level of performance and reliability that manually
managed databases struggle to deliver. The Oracle Autonomous Database is specifically designed to
provide customers with a higher level of service at lower cost by automating routine administrative
tasks and eliminating human error through:
• Self-Driving. With easy to define workloads and policies, automation then makes them happen.
• Self-Securing. With automated protection from both external attacks and internal users.
The Oracle Autonomous Database is built on top of the world’s most widely proven enterprise-class
database: Oracle Database, it runs on the world’s best database platform: Oracle Exadata, and
available as pay-as-you-go services on Oracle Cloud and Exadata Cloud at Customer (for public cloud
and private cloud deployment respectively). In addition, machine learning for performance diagnostics
and recovery optimizations are built into each layer of the deployment stack.
