Exadata Database on Dedicated Infrastructure: Support for DB Home Minor Version Selection (N-3) Services: Database

Provision a DB Home using a major version and RU version of your choice.

While provisioning, if you opt to use Oracle Provided Database Software Images as the image type, then you can use the Display all available versions switch to choose from all available PSUs and RUs. The most recent release for each major version is indicated with the latest label.

For the Oracle Database major version releases available in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, images are provided for the current version plus the three most recent older versions (N through N - 3). For example, if an instance is using Oracle Database 19c and the latest version of 19c offered is 19.8.0.0.0, images available for provisioning are for versions 19.8.0.0.0, 19.7.0.0, 19.6.0.0, and 19.5.0.0.
