upgrade from 11g to 18c

edited May 29, 2018 9:03AM in Database Install/Upgrade/Opatch (MOSC) 9 commentsAnswered ✓

We have oracle 11g running on a window server 2008 r2.  We are planning to upgrade our oracle to a new server.   I have a few questions about this upgrade.

  1. 18c on-premises will release on summer 2018.  Do we need to migrate 11g to 12c before we migrate to 18c?  Or can we migrate to 18c directly?
  2. Can we use virtual machine for our database server or it has to be physical?  We currently have physical server.
  3. Any recommendation on operating system?  We currently have license for windows server 2012, should we upgrade to window server 2016 instead of using windows server 2012?
  4. We have many MS 2010 Access databases connect to oracle using odbc. And MS 2010 access databases are on Staff’s computer. After we update our oracle to 18c, do we need to install oracle 18c client on staff’s computer and reconfigure the odbc connection on staff’s computer? 

Howdy, Stranger!
