Oracle Pluggable Databases

Oracle Pluggable Databases (PDBs) are a feature of Oracle 12c and above that allow a single Oracle instance to host multiple, independent databases within it. This can be useful in a number of different scenarios, and can help organizations to better manage their database infrastructure and resources.  PDB for development One common use case for Oracle PDBs is for testing and development purposes. PDBs allow organizations to create multiple copies of their production databases, each with its own unique set of data and schema objects. This can be useful for testing new applications or making changes to the database schema without affecting the production environment. PDB for consolidation Another use case for Oracle PDBs is for consolidation of multiple databases onto a single server. This can help to reduce the number of servers required to support an organization's database infrastructure, and can also make it easier to manage and maintain those databases. PDBs can also be use...

Setting up RAC in Oracle 21c

Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) is a feature of Oracle Database that allows multiple computers to run Oracle RDBMS software simultaneously while accessing a single database, providing high availability and scalability. Here is a simple guide on how to set up a RAC environment in Oracle 21c: Install Oracle 21c on multiple servers that will be part of the RAC cluster. Make sure to select the "RAC" option during the installation process. Configure the Oracle Grid Infrastructure on all servers in the RAC cluster. This includes setting up the Oracle Clusterware, creating a voting disk and OCR (Oracle Cluster Registry) file, and configuring the network interfaces. Create a database instance on each server in the RAC cluster. This involves creating a parameter file and starting up the instance using the Oracle Enterprise Manager. Create a database in the RAC environment using the Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) or by manually creating the database using SQL command...

RMAN Restore vs. Recovery - what's the difference?

RESTORE is used to restore the datafiles from a backup. You can restore up to the time of the backup or a point before using SET UNTIL . You would lose any changes made to the database after the backup by performing only a RESTORE. RECOVER is used to roll the database forward after a RESTORE by applying the redo logs. In essence, RECOVER = RESTORE + redo logs. The following example assumes you have lost your control files and datafiles, but still have your redo logs. $ rman target / nocatalog RMAN> startup nomount; RMAN> restore controlfile from '/oback/controlfile'; RMAN> alter database mount; RMAN> restore database; RMAN> recover database; RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;
