Support for Oracle 11g XE.

863710Apr 4 2018 — edited Apr 9 2018

Hello Team,

Please help to answer below queries.

1) Oracle 11g extended support will be ended by 2020. Will same date apply for Oracle 11g XE?

2) Can we take any license/support for Oracle 11g XE? or we need to upgrade on Standard/Enterprise edition for licensing model.

3) What is next available version after Oracle 11g XE?

BR,

Naveed

There is no support for XE, see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/licenses/database-11g-express-license-459621.html section No Technical Support

A 12c (or 13?) XE will be available when its available, not a day sooner.

Oracle changed their numbering convention to_char('RR.Q')  --- year dot quarter

18c XE was announced at last year's Oracle Open World.  18c would be equivalent to 12.2.0.2

There will still be no technical support for XE.  (you get what you pay for)

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your valuable feedback.

This means we can use Oracle 18c XE latest version instead of 11g XE. I have heard that it is for cloud please correct me if i am wrong.

Also let me know the date of EOL (End- Of- Life) or their is no EOL because their is no support?

BR,

One more thing is their any licensing cost for XE? I assume that their is no licensing cost since their is no technical support available.

No, there´s no cost to use, even with commercial apps.
