Eriovaldo, Oracle Database 12c was released June 27, 2013 (unofficially) and July 1, 2013 (officially). The primary purpose for DB12c is the multi-tenant functionality (pluggable databases). Pluggable databases help you consolidate your database foot print while maintaining a secure environment, for example. No special technology associated, all the same features and functions of 11g can be found in DB12c. There are enhancements that have been added for both pluggable database support and traditional database support. Documentation for DB12c, can be found here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/documentation/database-093888.html Also, the Oracle community has been writing a good bit on the topic as well. Many of the blog posts have been consolidated at this address: http://www.oraclealchemist.com/news/install-oracle-12c-12-1/ Enjoy!
