To help you plan ahead, below is a roadmap of patch sets for Oracle Database major releases 11.1 and beyond, showing planned release dates and the duration of their support lives in relationship to the overall release life. The chart is by nature somewhat simplified so be sure to read the details below it to help you interpret it correctly.
Information is shown for current major releases since 11.2. Patchsets and releases come out on different platforms over time. Once released on the first platforms (usually Linux), the schedule for release on other platforms will be added to the table above.

Fig 1 - Database Release Roadmap
Release 12.2: New releases will be annual and the version will be the last two digits of the release year. The release originally planned as 12.2.0.2 will now be release 18, and the release originally planned as 12.2.0.3 will be release 19. Releases 18 and 19 will be treated as under the umbrella of 12.2 for Lifetime Support purposes. The current plan is for Oracle Database 19 to be the last release for 12.2. This may change in the future to Oracle 20 as the last release for 12.2.
