description: >-
  Versioning, deprecation and operational-status posture for Oracle Partitioning and for the ORDS
  Database API through which its metadata is read.
versioning:
  scheme: 'release-train (ORDS quarterly) + Oracle Database release'
  api_version_in_url: false
  url_segment: stable
  current_contract_version: '2026.03.26'
  current_ords_release: '26.1.0'
  release_cadence: 'quarterly — 25.4 January 2026, 26.1 April 2026'
  note: >-
    The URL carries the literal segment "stable" rather than a version, so a client cannot pin a
    contract. The contract in force is whatever the operator's ORDS build ships.
deprecation:
  policy_published: true
  policy_style: 'advance notice in the release notes, one to three releases ahead'
  headers:
    sunset: false
    deprecation: false
    note: 'Neither RFC 8594 Sunset nor the Deprecation header is emitted or documented.'
  spec_deprecations:
    count: 0
    note: 'No operation in the 352-operation contract carries deprecated: true.'
  announced:
    - change: 'ORDS will add support for Tomcat 10 and WebLogic 15 and will no longer run on older versions.'
      effective_release: '26.4'
      effective_window: 'planned for Winter 2026'
      announced_in: '26.1.0 release notes'
      audience: 'Tomcat and WebLogic administrators'

  product_lifecycle:
    note: >-
      Oracle Partitioning itself is governed by Oracle Lifetime Support (Premier / Extended /
      Sustaining) attached to the Oracle Database release it is licensed against, not by an API
      deprecation policy.
status_page:
  published: true
  url: https://ocistatus.oraclecloud.com/
  scope: 'Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services, including the Database services'
  note: >-
    This is the OCI status page. There is no status page for Oracle Partitioning as an option, and
    none is possible: a customer-installed database option has no shared service to report on. The
    previously recorded https://status.oracle.com did not respond to a probe on 2026-08-27 and has
    been replaced with the reachable OCI page.

sla:
  published: false
  note: >-
    No SLA applies to a licensed database option running on customer or customer-tenancy
    infrastructure. OCI service-level agreements cover the managed database services separately.
