Thanks for sharing that URL above. After reading it, let me
expand on the support details for the record of this bug:
* 12.1.0.2 (Terminal Release) "Patching End Dates":
- Jul 31, 2022 with paid ES, ULA, or EBS waiver
- Dec 31, 2023 (with a Custom Market Driven Support Contract)
* 19c (Long Term Release)
- April 30, 2025 with no ES/ULA
(see that you wrote **2024** here!)
- April 30, 2027 with ES/ULA
* 21c (Innovation Release)
- April 30, 2024
> Upstream DBD::Oracle 1.81 introduced support for OIC 21.
>
> Could the following two changes be made?
> 1) Import upstream version 1.83
> 2) Build against OIC 19c (Version 19.16) or 21c (Version 21.7)
>
> However, two problems remain:
> 1) Bookworm will be supported well beyond Apr 30, 2024
> 2) Oracle may release higher 19.xx and 21.x versions
Seeing the above end dates, my bet is on 19c right now for two
reasons: 1) is the longest supported version right now, and 2)
is a Long Term Release, which means that they may extend its
support longer as they did with 12.1.
Cheers,
Alex
