DD-MMM-YYYY: Available, date shown is when the patch set was made available on My Oracle Support/MetaLink
1H or 2H CYyyyy: Date falls within the1st half (six months) or 2nd half of Calendar Year. For example 1H CY2009 means "some time within the first six months of 2009".
Qn CYyyyy: Date falls within the nth Quarter (3 month period) of the Calendar Year specified. For example Q2 CY 2009 means "sometime within the second quarter of 2009, ie between April and June 2009".
Unsupported platform - means that no further Database releases will be ported to this platform
Patching for previous release ends: explained in next section.
Patching end date
The date after which Oracle will no longer provide patches or CPUs for the previous release/patch level. This grace period is to allow customers adequate time to plan for the installation of the new patch set. For example, 10.2.0.4 was first released on 22-Feb-08. Oracle will continue to patch the previous patch set (10.2.0.3) for one year from that date on the assumption that customers are using this time to do whatever planning is necessary to be able to install 10.2.0.4. For more information please see the Software Error Correction Policy Note:209768.1. In some cases the grace period for a particular platform release may end later than the standard grace period due to its being released more than 9 months after the base release - we always allow at least 3 months to install the new patch set. When that happens the specific end of patching for the previous release will be listed in the table entry for that release.
The patching end dates for the different release/patch levels are as follows unless noted otherwise in the table:
Release
Patching Ends
10.1.0.4
30-Jan-2007
10.2.0.3

10.2.0.4
Q2CY2011 (projected)
11.1.0.6

Patching end dates for 10.2.0.4 will be set once 10.2.0.5 is released.
Lifetime Support dates (Premier and Extended Support periods) for the different Database releases can be found in the Lifetime Support Policy Technology data sheet. Click here to view the dates. Note that although 10.2 Extended Support begins in August 2010, Extended Support fees have been waived for the first year for all customers - for more information see the news article.
Notes:
•111.1.0.7 is the last patch set for Release 11.1. Future integrated error correction will come in the form of Patch Set Updates. Please see Note:850471.1 for current details about Patch Set Updates.
•211.2.0.1 is a base release.
•310.2.0.5 is the last patch set for Release 10.2. Once patching ends for 10.2.0.4, future integrated error correction will come in the form of Patch Set Updates. Please see Note:850471.1 for current details about Patch Set Updates.
•Future Oracle Database releases are planned for the other platforms but due to Oracle's revenue recognition policy we are unable to publish those schedules at this time. This schedule only includes releases which have already been released on at least one platform.
•Last Patch Set: When Oracle knows which patch set will be the last for a particular release, it will be indicated but designation as such is at Oracle's discretion and subject to change without notice.
•Solaris x86-32: The last patch set for this platform is 10.2.0.4.
•Solaris x86-64: Oracle has elevated the Solaris x86-64 to equal priority with SPARC Solaris for future Database releases. Customers should expect more timely releases and patch sets for the Solaris x86-64 platform.
