Last but not least, why not 19c?
BTW, interesting idea for a big poll:
Where did you get more bugs: 11.2, 12.2 or 19.3+

Hi Michael,
That sounds like black magic.
If “for a while” implies two different maintenance windows, you end up
with two test cycles and two disruptions instead of just one. If you get
the opportunity to combat these voodoo practitioners in front of the
management, the most persuasive argument would be that the database will be
running without security and other critical patches for a while. Who’s
going to take that risk?
Last but not least, why not 19c?
Best regards,
Nenad

Hearing that an application is going to be upgraded from 12.1 to 12.2.
Vendor is saying they will create a “blank, no patched” 12.2 $ORACLE_HOME,
and then upgrade the database.
They will test this for a while, and if everything is fine, THEN they will
apply the patch.
I’ve never heard of such a thing and have been working on Oracle databases
since 1983, version 4.0.
Is there logic in this? We try to keep all databases at N-1 on patching.
