Database Upgrade/Migration
We have decided to port our main transaction processing databases from Unix to Windows. We currently run Oracle 10gR2 on AIX. Our original intention was to move to 11g R2 on WIN2008 R2 X64. However now that 12c has been released we are wondering about moving to 12c either on 2008/2012.
While not knowing much about 12c technically, one of its main attractions is that premier support expires in 2018 whereas if we stay with our original plan and move to 11g R2 the issue/cost of buying extended support in little over a year's time arises.
IThe main concerns I would have is - how stable is 12c on Windows 2008/ Windows 2012 at this point in time?
