Comparision of Advanced compression for DG with WAN optimization solutions

Has anyone compared the compression ratio that Oracle's advance compression (for Data Guard) provides with a WAN optimization solution from CISCO or BIGIP (f5) - I will appreciate if you could share your results.

I have not. That said Oracle compression and WAN optimization both use on data patterns for their compression. These algorithms are mature at this point and
I don't believe either has an advantage.
The rumor is Oracle is going to do more with Hardware Compression in the near future as the bottleneck appears to be brown round.

  • HOW to enable oracle advance compression for EXIST partitioned table

    Hi All,
    I have to enable oracle advance compression for existing table which PARTITION BY RANGE then SUBPARTITION BY HASH.
    ORacle version: 11.2.0.2.0
    Please provide me any relevant doc or any exp.
    Thanks in advance.

    could not see any text for how to enable oracle advance compression for EXIST partitioned table.RTFM.
    From the resource above:
    How do I compress an existing table?
    There are multiple options available to compress existing tables. For offline compression, one could use ALTER TABLE Table_Name MOVE COMPRESS statement. A compressed copy of an existing table can be created by using CREATE TABLE Table_Name COMPRESS FOR ALL OPERATIONS AS SELECT *. For online compression, Oracle’s online redefinition utility can be used. More details for online redefinition are available here.

  • Best compression for video with a lot of static text and graphics

    Hello! I am producing an instructional DVD and am getting ready to output the files and was wondering what the best compression format would be for me to use.
    About 1/3 of the clips consist of video shot in SD with very little movement (guy sitting at a desk talking to the camera.) The rest contains graphics created in After Effects and then imported back into Final Cut. The graphics are primarily text based, and don't change too often. There are some still images as well, but they are static for the most part save for some occasional panning. Oh, and the total length of all the video clips is about 70 minutes.
    I would like to compress these videos so as to get the best possible quality in the text. I did a few tests, but the quality in the letters seemed a little worse than I had hoped. Is this just going to be an inevitability I have to live with, or is there a particular setting that would help me out?
    Thanks for reading this; any help would be greatly appreciated!
    PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1.25 GB DDR SDRAM

    You know--I really have no idea why I didn't do it that way. I exported uncompressed files from After Effects and then imported them into FCP; some of the files are huuuge, like 60 GB+
    I think in the next version of this I will probably just edit in FCP then import it into AE, and then export from there. As it stands though, I've sort of made some changes and done stuff in FCP after importing the clips, so I'd like to just export using Compressor.
    So are you saying it's better to export uncompressed from FCP and then import that into Compressor and go from there? I've been just selecting the 'Export Using Compressor' option in FCP and going from there...
    Thanks!

  • Thoughts on BEST COMPRESSION for use with iDVD and DVD Studio Pro...

    Hi all...
    I'm having an issue with some visual artifacts that are present after burning a dvd using either idvd or dvd studio pro.
    My sequence containts footage (h.264) and photographs with titles. The photos (w/moves) look great, very crisp. So do the titles.
    However, the video looks awful. Pans and tilts creating streaking, so does any action with the frame.
    I don't see this streaking while viewing in the qt window or when previewing the dvd...
    I'm exporting as a qt reference using the dv/dvc pro setting, when I check the dvd on an ntsc monitor, the image is very streaky.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Are you using FCP?? Then I see why you said QT reference movie... which is the best way. Being more descriptive about your setting when posting a question will return more helpful answers. (editing tool, source materials, machine spec...etc) You said that your footage was h264 and you posted your question in iMovie forum so I couldn't have guessed FCP and DV...
    If your sequence is DV on FCP I can't think of anything else but QT reference movie route. I don't understand why your video won't show interlacing in QT player or DVD preview, but perhaps they force deinterlacing for preview, who knows.
    You said your DVD looks 'very streaky' on ntsc tv. Is it to the point that it looks unnatural? Is overall motion jerky? If so, perhaps the field order had been messed with and changed. But I'm not quite sure about the exact nature of your problem. Visual problem in a subjective verbal description can be hard to communicate

  • Advanced compression for OLTP

    If a new insert takes place on a compressed table will it go to the end of the table or to a new block.
    Edited by: ahmed on Sep 21, 2010 12:20 PM

    If you use DIRECT LOAD then it will, by definition, be placed above the high-water mark.
    Probably not something you want to do one row at a time.

  • Which tables are suitable for advanced compression in R12.1.1 vision db

    I want to use advanced compression in our R12.1.1 test env and I want to know which R12 tables are suitable for that?(I want make a script for compressing our VISION DB automatically)
    for example, table like GL% and ... ?
    some table contain long/long raw data_type ,so if I compress all tables in a tablespace(like APPS_TS_TX_DATA) ,filter long/long raw table will became a time-cosuming job..
    thanks

    Hi,
    for example, table like GL% and ... ?I believe this is no direct answer to your question as this depends on the number/type of records you have in your tables, and this varies from one organization/environment to another. You could calculate the size of the tables and decide which tables need compression by yourself.
    some table contain long/long raw data_type ,so if I compress all tables in a tablespace(like APPS_TS_TX_DATA) ,filter long/long raw table will became a time-cosuming job..Please see if these links help.

  • Advanced Table Compression Create Table with LOBs

    Hi,
    I need some help with the Advanced Table Compression when creating a table especially when they contain a LOB.
    Here are 3 examples:
    Exp#1
    CREATE TABLE emp (
          emp_id NUMBER, 
          first_name VARCHAR2(128), 
          last_name VARCHAR2(128)
    ) COMPRESS FOR OLTP;
    This one is ok - all elements are compressed.
    Exp#2
    CREATE TABLE photos (
          photo_id NUMBER,
          photo BLOB)
          LOB(photo) STORE AS SECUREFILE (COMPRESS LOW);
    This one I am confused - is it just the LOB(photo) that is compressed or the whole table. If it is just the LOB then what syntax do I need for the whole table?
    I also assume that the LOB is being stored in the default tablespace associated with this table - correct me if I am wrong!
    Exp#3
    CREATE TABLE images (
          image_id NUMBER,
          image BLOB)
          LOB(image) STORE AS SECUREFILE (TABLESPACE lob_tbs COMPRESS);
    This one I am confused - I think it is telling me that LOB(image) is being compresses and stored in tablespace lob_tbs and the other elements are being stored uncompressed in the default tablespace.
    Again if it is just the LOB then what syntax do I need for the whole table?
    Thanks & regards

  • Question about advance compression in Oracle 11gR2

    Can someone please suggest.

    Thanks SriniChavali and Stefan. I can't make more answer "Helpful' so I couldn't do that for your answers! Here is my point. In Jonathan's blog i see this remarks:
    "Sadly it seems that “compress for OLTP” (formerly “compress for all operations”) doesn’t compress for all operations, it compresses only for inserts, and the benefits it has over basic compression are that (a) it leaves 10% of the block free for updates, and (b) it doesn’t require direct path inserts to trigger compression. Given the limitations on how it works you may find that the problems it brings might make it something you want to avoid.... this is at this link: http://allthingsoracle.com/compression-in-oracle-part-3-oltp-compression/
    To date I’ve only heard complaints about OLTP compression (there’s an element of self-selection there as no-one ever calls me to look at their system because it’s running so well and has no problems). A common thread in the complaints I have heard, though, is about the significant amount of row migration (once it has been noticed), the extra CPU, and ”buffer busy waits”.
    Compression for OLTP is (according to the manuals) supposed to be able to compress during updates – but it doesn’t (at least, as far as I can tell); this means that you can easily end up suffering a large number of row migrations on updates, which can result in extra random I/Os, buffer busy waits, and increased CPU and latch activity.
    If you can work out a good strategy for using OLTP compression, though, think carefully about making a choice between freelist management and ASSM – there seem to be some undesirable side effects that appear when you mix OLTP compression with ASSM."
    Note that I am not that technical and I hope I have not mis-quoted. I am trying to figure out if this is a good option or not and seeing some findings that it may not be so good and seeing at some other places notes that it is indeed very good.
    Best regards

  • Moving to advanced compression (11gR2)

    Hi all!
    I'm planning to migrate some schemas from a 10.2.0.4 database to an 11.2 database using datapump.
    At the same time i want to store the data in compressed format (compress for oltp - using advanced compression).
    What is the best way to achive this?
    I have tried a couple of different ways...
    1) Pre-create all tablespaces with compress.
    and then import with transform=segment_attribute:n:table
    Then all tables are imported with compression, but all objects ends up in the default tablespace for that schema, since the attribute removes the "tablespace" clause from the export file. This is not feasible since i have many partitions in different tablespaces.
    2) Pre-create all tablespaces with compress.
    and then import with transform=storage:n:table
    Then the tablespace clause is included but so is the NOCOMPRESS clause... so all tables are uncompressed after import.
    3) Pre-create all tablespaces with compress.
    Create a sqlfile with content=metadata_only and then edit the sqlfile replacing NOCOMPRESS with COMPRESS FOR OLTP.
    Then do an import with content=data_only
    This will give me the result i want, but is quite time consumuing..
    Is there another way i can do this, by just pre-creating tablespaces with compression and do regular import?
    Thank you very much in advance!

    that is pretty much option 3 you are suggesting, no?
    i'm creating a sqlfile with metadata only, but i have to remove the uncompress keyword from that file since table properties overrides the tablespace properties.
    I was looking for an easier way, but maybe i just have to do it that way.

  • Compressing for Itouch

    Hi all,
    I have a 1280x540 square pixel video I need to convert to play back on an Itouch and was wondering a couple of things:
    1> I know the Itouch has a 480x320 screen but I don't know if it is square pixels or non-square. The aspect ratio suggests non-square.
    2> If I am compressing for that screen size, do I need to letterbox my video first before compressing it or will it display my 2.21:1 aspect ratio video like a regular computer would?
    3> I have heard the maximum bit rate is around 1500kbps, is this true?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Oracle Advanced Compression Option - Effect On RMAN Backup

    My client is interested in introducing Oracle's Advanced Compression capabilities into their 11g landscape. My questions are related to the effects RMAN Compression has on backup infrastructures. I need to understand the impact/reduction in Data Domain or tape that can be expected.
    1. What has been the experience with implementing RMAN Compression? Are there any lessons learned you can share?
    2. There are three levels of compression -- LOW, MEDIUM & HIGH. What compression ratios have you seen for any/all of these levels?
    3. Have you experienced any effects on server performance or any impact on database and backup functionality, when RMAN Compression is running?
    I would appreciate any insights you can share.

    Our main purpose for buying this option was OLTP compression. Just by this you can save tons of space(ofcourse it depends upon the type of data).
    With RMAN , in maximum compression mode ,your CPU usage will go high so make sure not to schedule the backup with heavy activities on the database.

  • BO 4.0 Advanced Analysis for OLAP - The MDAS service encountered an error.

    Hi guru's,
    We are running BO 4.0 SP02 Patch 11 with SAP BW 7 and experiencing the following error with Advanced Analysis for OLAP:
    "Analysis edition for OLAP
    The MDAS service encountered an error."
    After you click show details:
    "com.crystaldecisions.thirdparty.org.omg.CORBA.MARSHAL  minor code: 0x0  completed: No"
    I have researched into this and found forums such as:
    http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2053481
    SAP KB 1560100 - BI4.0 Advanced Analysis Web problem: The MDAS Service encountered an error
    SAP KB 1661163 - An error is generated when selecting a query or cube in Analysis for OLAP: Error 15
    However, none of these have helped our situation too much.
    We have rebuilt the windows server 2008 R2 recently, hence the process we followed was a fresh install of BO 4.0 SP02 platform & tools, and then patch 11 on top of these.
    Crystal, WEBI's (using the same BICS connections as the AA's) and Dashboards are all working as per expected.
    The errors are for every AA including ones with only 2 variable selections (light queries) to ones with many more. Hence it is platform wide for Advanced Analysis.
    I have also tried creating new AA using existing BICS, new BICS existing AA, new BICS new AA all with no luck.
    We have also created new Adaptive Processing Servers with only the MDAS as a common service, turned on tracing etc but nothing springs to us as to what is going wrong.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated?
    Thanks all,

    Hi All,
    After conversing with SAP support technicians we have found what is causing this issue.
    On the windows servers we have the following installed locally:
    - BO platform 4.0 SP02
    - BO platform 4.0 SP02 patch 11
    - BO client tools 4.0 SP02
    - BO client tools 4.0 SP02 patch 11
    - Crystal reports 2011 SP02
    - Crystal reports 2011 SP02 patch 11
    - Crystal reports for Ent SP02
    - Crystal reports for Ent SP02 patch 11
    It seems that the crystal reports 2011 or cr for Ent was causing an issue in the .WAR files that BOE uses to run Advanced Analysis for OLAP.
    After uninstalling the two crystal products and removing any left over cr files in program files on the server, AA for OLAP works successfully in our environment.
    The other point after this was i stopped the tomcat and SIA, i renamed the BOE folder under <install dir>\SAP BO4.0\Tomcat6\webapps and restarted the tomcat and then the SIA. In 4.0 when the tomcat is started again it will go and recreate the BOE folder from the BO directories effectively recreating the apps .WAR files under the webapps\BOE folder.
    SAP will hopefully document this issue for other clients.
    Cheers,
