instead on CF2021 I also see Oracle11g

question is: is Oracle11g supported on CF2023?

What you see is what Adobe is indeed FORMALLY supporting now, as of cf2023.

Does that mean you CAN'T use earlier versions? No, it does not mean that. Does it mean one should not? Yes. Might they work? Almost certainly. I've not heard anyone say 11g did not.

Note also that they're not "picking on Oracle". The same doc shows how this release also stopped supporting such commonly used db versions as sql server 2016, mysql 5, postgres 13, and their earlier versions. Some are several years old, and of course most products stop supporting older versions of related things after a time. That time is now, for CF.
