To create a new Oracle 11.2.0.4v2 DB instance when using the "Launch DB Instance Wizard" in the AWS Management Console, select the DB engine Version "11.2.0.4v2". To upgrade an existing database instance, use the "Modify" option in the AWS Management Console and select the DB engine version "11.2.0.4v2". Before you upgrade a production database instance, we recommend that you test the upgrade process with a test DB instance to verify the duration of the upgrade process as well as test your application with the new DB engine version. We do not recommend upgrading micro DB instances because the upgrade process may run for a long time and impact database performance.
