I bet it will be Oracle 13c. BTW, pricing for database as a service is now 
available at https://cloud.oracle.com/database?tabID=1406491812773.

(or) be scientific about it, realize that number can't predict the future, and 
use 13 :)
Googling version 13 shows that there are precedences:
IMS version 13 libraryEEGLAB rivision history version 13Linux mint maya version 
13Windward version 13Firefox version 13Adobe photoshop version 13 etc..
Sorry, I am wearing a party pooper hat today :)

However, it may be Oracle 13B: B for BigData.
Cheers

something like 13c is not the same as 13. But still all things considered I can

it's about marketing and not arithmetic. The

Oracle 14 will definitely not do in China (no 14th floor in Hong Kong),

Will we skip for Oracle 12Rn to Oracle 15? Talk of a "mature" product ...
