A related question is about versions NOT listed here. If its not listed here, its not supported. You should verify with your support channel that you are still on a supported version of Oracle. For example, a lot of people have asked about 8.1.7 which has been desupported. People still using 8.1.7 need to contact their support channels for upgrade info (some of these upgrades are free!).
