Oracle Database Engine Release Notes
Updates to your Amazon RDS for Oracle DB instances keep them current. If you apply updates, you can be confident that your DB instance is running a stable, common version of the database software that has been regression-tested by both Oracle and Amazon. We don't support applying one-off patches to individual DB instances.
You can specify any currently supported Oracle version when creating a new DB
instance. You can specify the major version (such as Oracle 12.1), and any
supported minor version for the specified major version. If no version is specified,
Amazon RDS defaults to a supported version, typically the most recent version. If
a
major version is specified but a minor version is not, Amazon RDS defaults to a recent
release of the major version you have specified. To see a list of supported versions,
as well as defaults for newly created DB instances, use the
describe-db-engine-versions AWS CLI command.
