In the 12c upgrade guide http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17642/deprecated.htm#UPGRD60000 *8.1.6 Deprecation of Oracle Streams* Oracle Streams is deprecated in Oracle Database 12c and may be desupported and unavailable in a later Oracle Database release. Use Oracle GoldenGate to replace all replication features of Oracle Streams. Also more importantly in my opinion: *8.2.2 **Desupport** of Change Data Capture* Oracle Change Data Capture is not included in Oracle Database 12c and has been replaced with Oracle GoldenGate I am surprised that oracle gets away with removing features and replacing them with extra cost options.
