Oracle database 12c

Just in case you did not notice it yet, Oracle 12cR1 is now available…

Download is here : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html

And the documentation : http://www.oracle.com/pls/db121/homepage

You may want to read the new features first.
One of them has a quite interesting name “Performance With Zero Effort”, and hopefully title is not that misleading.

And of course, as announced before, there’s the Pluggable database feature. A new concept to learn, rather interesting to investigate to take advantage of.

So far, only available for Linux x64 and Solaris.
