Oh ok. I am on 12.2. Patching 12.2 has been a pain in the butt, always
getting errors and patch conflicts

However if you search in oracle support you will find lots of varying
errors, most related to 12.1 only but some more generic.
Here are few:
XDB Invalid after Utlrp during Activation of Extended Datatypes (Doc ID
1667689.1)
Database Won't Start After Varchar2(32k) Upgrade (Doc ID 1610329.1)
ORA-00600 [koklismem2: Insufficient Locator Len] on Update of Extended
Data types. (Doc ID 2474129.1)
ORA-01467 In Oracle 12c when max_string_size is Extended Data Types used

Hi all,
Has anyone enabled extended data types in 12c to get varchar2(32767)
support for the tables? We are looking to do this but wondering if anyone
has experienced any issues with it cause I know there is no going back once
you do.
Thanks,
Jeff
