As you have no doubt heard, Oracle database 21c was released on Friday. I went to work over the weekend doing the relevant articles and builds. They’ve been on the front page of the website since Sunday, but I was waiting for the release of the 21c preinstall package before announcing them. That has arrived now, so this is what I was up to at the weekend.
Installation Articles
First the articles for single instance, Data Guard, RAC and RPM installations.
- Oracle Database 21c Installation On Oracle Linux 8 (OL8)

Caution
As I wrote in my previous post, Oracle 21c is an innovation release. It’s good to play with this, but be careful when considering it for production.
Cheers

PS. I’m struggling to notice the difference between “21” and “12” when reading at the moment. 🙂
