If you're planning a Oracle Database upgrade to 12c, STOP. You want to go to 19c. 19c is the terminal release in the 12c family and gets you the LONGEST support window. "Plus a potential extension of 3 years of Extended Support until March 2026"

How long do you struggle with something before asking for help? I tell people if they bang their heads for 30mins, they should probably go ahead and reach out. The beauty of asking for help - is often a trigger to enlightenment. The act of asking, often gives the answer.

This tip sounds silly, but seriously... Don't run queries with hundreds of columns. You're wasting server time, network bandwidth, and then you're taking your client UI and YOUR eyes to deal with that information. Query just the 5 or 6 columns you need.
