Use data pump to extract a package from a dump file

Here's the only method I've found for using Data Pump to extract a package from a dump file.  You don't actually import it directly to a database.  Impdp creates a sql file with the source code for re-creating the package.

impdp username/password directory=MYDIR dumpfile=export.dmp sqlfile=mysql.sql

This will get all the source code for every package in your dump file.

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;

Auditing user logon and logoff in Oracle

To track when a user logs on or off Oracle, enable auditing and audit CONNECT in your database.  Then you can query DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL to find logon and logoff info. alter session SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'; select username, action,action_name,timestamp,logoff_time from dba_audit_trail where action_name = 'LOGON' and username = '&user'; Here are some more helpful links: http://itechshare.blogspot.com/2010/06/oracle-how-to-track-logon-logout-in.html http://itechshare.blogspot.com/2010/06/oracle-why-dbaaudittrail-shows-more.html

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...
