Oracle Database 19c Premier Support ends December 31, 2029; Extended Support runs to December 31, 2032 — dates Oracle extended in November 2024 from the original April 2024/2027 schedule. Why 'upgrading' 19c to 21c lands on a version that dies July 31, 2027 — earlier than 19c itself — and the honest 23ai/26ai path.
