Now that Oracle Database 12c Release 2 is available on-premise for Linux x86-64, Solaris Sparc64, and Solaris x86-64 and on the Oracle Cloud for everybody else – the product we had the pleasure to develop and to play with for quite some time now – it’s also time to introduce some of the new functionality in more detail to the broader audience. This blog post will be the first of hopefully many over the course of the next months to specifically highlight individual features of Oracle Partitioning and why we actually implemented it.
