Ours is a software product development company (SaaS). All our databases including OLTP and Data Warehouse are on Oracle 12c. It is the most reliable, scalable, performance focused and manageable database available in the industry to the best of my knowledge and experience. It gave us the flexibility to scale easily and manage our complex requirements.
  • The Oracle optimizer is getting smarter in every Oracle release. In 12c, the adaptive query optimization features helped a lot to improve query performance.
  • In 12c, we can restore a single table from RMAN backups - it's a very useful and time-saving feature when we need to recover a particular software module.
  • I see the scope of improving the optimizer capabilities to automatically handle run-away queries better, meaning, if a SQL suddenly comes up with a bad execution plan, the database needs to be able to handle it smoothly, rather than affecting other SQL.
If there is a need of a scalable and most performing database, I would highly recommend Oracle 12c (and the latest releases).
  • Oracle database 12c is very stable, it reduced a lot of downtime for us, thus we have a greater ROI.
It's easy to scale an Oracle database compared to any others, it's easy to manage many Oracle databases together with lots of administrative and security features.

The web-based software application development is done on Oracle Database 12c version, all the health care information is saved and served through the 12c database. Also, the Business Intelligence built on the 12c data warehouse.

The DBA team having at least one years + experience supports the 12c databases on development environment, testing and production environment as well.
  • It is the main production Transactional Database for web-based applications
  • It is the underlying Data Warehouse Database for Business Intelligence applications
  • It helps us to scale the software product and services at ease with a lower operational and management cost
  • We did not have to do any tweak to use 12c databases, all the features behaving according to the expectations. We are taking advantages of advanced compressions which reduced our storage usage about 40% and with greater performance.
  • We are looking forward to using multitenant features of 12c which will help us consolidates many databases altogether and will reduce overall cost drastically.
It is very likely to use this 12c (or next version) of Oracle Database. Nothing close to it in the marketplace in terms of performance, reliability and overall database management efficiency. If Oracle did one thing really good - it is it's OLTP Database I must say.

The features we needed, the stability and scalability we looked for, I believe Oracle database was the right choice.
  • Implemented in-house
Yes
1. Training, research & PoC implementations
2. Implement and test in development environments
3. Implement and test in beta environments
4. Implement in a secondary site in production with zero downtime
5. Implement in primary site in production
6. Go Live during a weekend when there is considerably low usage and monitor closely
Change management was minimal
All teams must work together and must have ongoing regular meetings during the implementation phase.
  • We hit a problem during the upgrade process, the halfway through the upgrade caused error, then it was resolved with the help of Oracle Support.
Overall the implementation went very well and after that everything came out as expected - in terms of performance and scalability. People should always install and upgrade a stable version for production with the latest patch set updates, test properly as much as possible, and should have a backup plan if anything unexpected happens.
Most of the time the Support is good and respond according to the expectations. However, there were occasions where it took a long time to get the issue resolved, needed escalations.
Yes
Yes most of the time.
When we initially migrate to 12c version from 11gR2, there was a problem in the upgrade process and upgrade failed in the middle-way. It was one of the production databases and we were counting times to bring up the databases. Oracle Support helped us 24/7 basis to get the issue resolved with proper guidelines and documentation - the process was smooth and quick because of Support.
  • The online database management and maintenance tasks
  • The SQL Plan stability and query performance
  • The overall database management, problem diagnosis and tuning
  • Nothing mentionable. However, sometimes we hit by a bug, which needed Oracle Support intervention to get resolved.
As an OLTP Database, this is simply unbeatable, best in the industry, we have not found any limitations in scalability. Also, it works great as a Data Warehouse.

The Oracle 12C Database is used as a core business backbone for modeling the process of selling products in more than 25 countries in one of the biggest retailers in the world. The database not only deposit the data but also contains the business logic in PL/SQL packages.
  • high performance
  • mature and reliable
  • rich in features
  • can be expensive
  • big footprint
OLTP Enterprise Application
High Availability
Ready to run on different operating systems (Windows/Linux/AIX/Solaris)


  • stability
  • security
it was not my choice for Oracle 12C, but during the years I've learned on the advantages. If I would choose the Oracle 12C, I'll take it for the possibility to start from Standard and to go to enterprise based on a business case of use. I really like the possibility to have the logic in the database (triggers/ procedures/functions/packages)

I would choose hard on the edition of the database. Sometimes even the express edition offers all you need for an internal application and if it scales up you can easily change to a standard or even an enterprise edition.
  • Implemented in-house
  • Professional services company
I can't disclose the company
Yes
Change management was a minor issue with the implementation
  • understanding the business needs and implementing them in database
  • human factors
  • time compression
easy database installation even for high availability environments
reliable infrastructure if correctly installed
  • administration via EM
  • database development via SQL Developer with revers engineering on models
  • reporting with APEX
  • reading logs
  • administering without proper options installed
No
