Re: Oracle for Windows 2019

Generally, Oracle only certifies against an O/S that is available and fully supported at the time of the release of the database. So 12.2 is certified against Windows 2016, but 12.1 isn't for example. On that basis, I'd expect 19 to be certified against Windows 2019 but nothing earlier, it's also why 19 which is the end of the 12.2 line never the less won't by the looks of it be certified against RedHat 6.
