Oracle extends 19c database support to 2032, making it 'longest strategic release'

Oracle has postponed the end of support date for its popular 19c database as users await news of a mainstream on-prem version of its latest database, 23ai. In a communication released last month, Oracle said it would be pushing back the support cutoff for 19c to December 31, 2029, for Premier Support and December 31, 2032, …

Bah!

Did you know that it *is* possible to run out of Oracle object IDs? The devs have to work hard to do it, but it can happen.

If it does, on 19c there's a workaround.

23AI has the workaround automatically switched on (so I understand).

But for some reason, the workaround isn't available on 21c.

It is the way of things.
