Note:
Starting with Oracle Database 18c, Oracle provides quarterly updates in the
form of Release Updates (Updates) and Release Update Revisions
(Revisions). Oracle no longer releases patch sets. For more information, see
My Oracle Support Note 2285040.1.
Oracle Database releases are of type
version
and
version_full
releases.
The
version
release is designated in the form major release version.0.0.0.0.
The major release version is based on the last two digits of the year in which
an Oracle Database version is released for the first time. The
version_full
release is an update of a version release and is designated based on the
major release version, the quarterly release update version (Update), and the
quarterly release update revision version (Revision).
Prior to Oracle Database release 18c, changing the first or second digit in the
release number was an upgrade, and changing the fourth digit indicated an
update. With 18c and later releases, changing the first digit is an upgrade,
and changing the second indicates an update.
About the Web Console
Use the Oracle Appliance Manager Web Console to deploy and manage the
appliance, databases, networks, and jobs.
The Web Console assists you in deploying Oracle Databases that follow Optimal
Flexible Architecture guidelines. The Optimal Flexible Architecture standard provides
best practices configurations to ensure database deployments that are easier to
support and maintain. Optimal Flexible Architecture includes the following:
•
Structured organization of directories and files, and consistent naming for critical
database files, such as control files, redo log files, and other critical files, which
simplifies database administration
•
Separation of tablespace contents to minimize tablespace free space
fragmentation, and maximize administrative flexibility
•
Stripe and Mirror Everything (SAME) deployment, which safeguards against
storage failures
Note:
Create Oracle Databases using the Web Console or command-line interface
to ensure that your database is configured optimally for Oracle Database
Appliance.
The Web Console provides a user-friendly option to quickly view and perform many of
the tasks needed to deploy, patch, and manage your system.
