DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHOLE DB BACKUP AND FUL DB BACKUP?

what is the difference between the full database backup and wholedatabase backup?

It looks to me like the tech writer was trying to make an arbitrary technical distinction between a backup made using backup pieces that copies only used data file blocks and a backup of the entire file whether the file blocks contain data or not. Being that the commands to perform the backup could be exactly the same providing a configuration was set previously really blurs any significance between the two.
For most practical purposes there is no difference. Perhaps with 11g whatever distinction Oracle is attempting to make will be more clear or removed from the text.
I went back to follow the link back to the referenced documentation and see another post came in and I think I can agree with Maran.

  • Difference between pool pair relationship and Backup registrar configuration

    Hi,
    I would like to difference between pool pair relationship and Backup registrar configuration?
    Are both concepts are reffering same for DR site resiliency in Lync 2013?
    Thanks

    Backup Registrar works the same in Lync 2013 as it did in Lync 2010. This allows for registration in the event the primary registrar is unavailable. Pool Pairing is built on top of the Backup Registrar functionality.
    Take a look at the following:

  • Is there a difference between a Hot Backup and an Online backup?

    Version:10g2
    Is there a difference between a Hot Backup and an Online backup? Aren't these terms interchangeably used? Couldn't find a similair thread in OTN.

    They mean same meaning. They are synonyms in Oracle language :)

  • I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for?

    I downloaded Mavericks and it won't install. I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for? I never had an administrator password-- I just hit enter and have never had a problem before with previous installations. I'm on an iMac, from 2007, running Mt. Lion (version 10.8.5). I've been looking for other's posts who may be having the same problem, but haven't found any. Can anyone help?

    Ugh. The 'no password, no work' thing is a recent Apple development. I ran into it on my system and ended up having to do a clean install on a partition I fully erased.
    I suppose, if you have the ability to, go online and look up how to burn a bootable DVD image. Download the 10.8.4 image then use the Disk Utility to make a boot image of it. You'll need a dual-layer DVD or a USB drive (or memory stick at least 8GB) If you've got an optical drive, burn the disk, if you've a USB device, use that.
    Then get a pocket drive and copy your important files off the system or let Time Machine do a full backup.
    When the backup is done, insert the disk and hold down the C key until the machine boots off of the DVD. At the point you get to the start window, go to the menu and choose the Disk Utility.
    In the Disk Utility, reformat the drive. You go to the actual DRIVE (not the Macintosh HD, but the root above it that is the actual hard drive device)
    I always do this and *partition* it into several volumes, the benefit being, you can store all of your music, documents and importans stuff on that secondary storage volume you make - it will have it's own index and then the first volume is where you put the OS and it will have it's own index as well. That way, if the OS throws a wobbler and you need to reinstall, you don't lose your data.
    Depending on the size of your hard drive, it is good to give your OS partition at least 60GB and optimally 100GB, and the rest for storage.
    Name your volumes, use the little box sliders to manually size them or put that number in the size window, select for the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and hit Apply and then the Disk Utility will quickly create your new partitions.
    Once finished, quit the Utility and it will return you to the OS installer. Select the volume you want to install to and it should start up and install.
    Once the installation is done, you'll get the new machine startup then you MUST put in a password for the computer. Once you're in, and to the desktop, don't bother with any Mountain Lion updates, go right to the App Store and get the Mavericks update and let it install the app to your Applicaitons folder, then do that install.
    On a side note, there MAY be a way to make a disk image from the Mavericks application and avoid the entire Mountain Lion step.. I honestly do not know, but a bit of hitting the search engines may find out if there is. I think that if you looked for "make Mavericks boot disk or boot image' you may find something.
    Good luck!

  • Cost difference between PM report MCI8 and IW38 orders cost

    Hi Experts!
    I have an issue of cost difference  between Plant Maintenance total actual cost of orders and Cost analysis report.
    Short Text    
    Cost difference between PM report MCI8 and IW38 orders cost   
    Long Text    
    Applied SAP notes 180047 and 112841 for the following error:
    Cost is not displaying in MCI8 for every 3 months intervals.
    Now this problem has been resolved but got an another error like cost
    difference between MCI8 report and IW38 order costs.
    Note applied method:-
    1). Configured FYV as Z1 with Period update for info structures S61 to
    S65, S70, S114 to S116.
    2). Regenerate order cost in Tcode OLI5.
    3). PMIS: Statistical setup of info structures T.Code u2013 OLPM
    For Info Structures which is changed in the configuration SO61-SO65,
    SO70, S114-S116.
    4). Copy info structures Version &( to Active version 000 T.Code u2013 OLIX,
    Select Copy version
    For all info Structure SO61-SO65, SO70, S114-S116.
    *Steps for Reconstruction*    
    New another error like cost difference between MCI8 report and IW38
    order costs.
    Step 1. Transaction- MCI8, Order type - CORR, Period -01.2009 to
    12.2009 and execute
    Step 2. Drilldown the corrective maintenance order costs into period
    wise.
    Step 3. Transaction- IW38, Order type Corr, Period -01.2009 to 12.2009,
    Currency - EUR and execute
    Cost differences: E.g. Example A)
                                   MCI8                                 IW38
    Total costs             8.041,69                           5.544,99
    of WOs               18                                     18
    So far my view is that, regardless of the selection criteria or the
    output layout, predominantly the costs are different.
    I would expect that they are equal. And what the right result are,..u2026Iu2019m
    not sure.
    Regards,
    Santhamoorthy

    Hello,
    Sometimes this difference comes because of the selection period which we are choosing.
    Try to run IW38 once with the help of Basic start and basic finish dates of the order.
    And after that with the help of the period with the same dates range.
    You will get the difference also.
    the reason is that whenever any Posting is done in the previous month PM order the system changes the basic start date and when you select the current period and execute IW38 it shows the whole cost incurred on the order including all previous cost.
    But in MCI8 it does not happen because MCI8 is run through LIS structures. And in this report only the current month cost will be shown by the system.
    I hope you got the idea about differences.
    Regards

  • Difference between oracle join syntaxes and ANSI join syntaxes

    What is difference between oracle join syntaxes and ANSI join syntaxes ?
    why oracle is having different syntaxes for joins than ANSI syntaxes ?
    Also Join syntaxes are different in some oracle vesrions ?

    Yes it is. The Oracle database wasn't initially designed to be ANSI compliant. As you correctly state the ANSI standards weren't around when it was initially designed, so the statement is perfectly correct. ;)Ok, in one sense it may be correct but it is a completely misleading statement. Not sure why you think it's misleading.Because there was no ANSI standard, so making it sound like a design choice The Oracle database wasn't initially designed to be ANSI compliant. would suggest to most readers that there was a standard to be compliant to.
    Like saying Ford originally did not design their cars to incorporate safety features such as ABS, seat belts and air bags.
    The OP asked "why oracle is having different syntaxes for joins than ANSI syntaxes ?" and the answer is that Oracle wasn't initially designed with ANSI compliance, so it has it's old non-ANSI syntax,As shown above, the old syntax was ANSI compliant at the time and to call it non-ANSI is either incorrect or misleading dependent on your point of view.
    and since ANSI syntax became the standard it now supports that. And since ANSI switched to a new standard, Oracle had to implement the new standard as well as the previous ANSI standard would be more accurate in my opinion.
    Nothing misleading as far as I'm aware in that.I find the whole discussion about ANSI and Oracle's supposed non-compliance, reads like it was Oracle's choice to deviate from the standards, when it was ANSI's bullheaded decisions to pointlessly change standards that left Oracle and other vendors out of compliance, and that was a decision made solely by ANSI.
    This is probably the reason ANSI no longer produces SQL standards, the endless syntax fiddling would eventually have made forward left under outer joins a reality.

  • What is the difference between saving to "Documents" and "Macintosh HD" and when should you use each one?*

    What is the difference between saving to "Documents" and "Macintosh HD" and when should you use each one?

    When you save to the folder with the little house icon, the file is placed at
    /Users/your_user_name/
    You would really have to go out of my way to save at:
    (the shortcut for the Boot Drive, regardless of its name).
    I am not sure how you decided that Time Machine is not saving your files. The default is for Time Machine to do incremental Backups of everything on all attached drives, except for certain temporary information in Cache files. If you have four Users, Time Machine will back them all up.
    Looking at the raw Time Machine backups will tell you very little, because it does lots of its work with Hard Links, and because it does incremental backups, so only files that changed since the last Backup are saved at thet cycle. The way to determine whether Time Machine is saving things is to display the window you care about in the Finder, then invoke the "Star wars"/ "Back, back, back in time" Interface.

  • Difference between execute as statement and execute as script in Toad

    Hi
    I want to know difference between execute as statement and execute as script in Toad ..while i am running a query execute as statement is taking about 3 seconds and if i run with execute as a script its taking long time..Which one i need to consider.

    I want to know difference between execute as statement and execute as script in Toad ..while i am running a query execute as statement is taking about 3 seconds and if i run with execute as a script its taking long time..Which one i need to consider.Firstly, this is not a TOAD forum. TOAD is a 3rd party tool developed by Quest Software, so really your question does not belong here.
    However...
    When you execute a query as a statement then toad itself opens the cursor against the database and issues the statement, fetching the rows as they are needed to display in it's interface. You say it takes only about 3 second to run, but the chances are that you haven't scrolled the result window down to the last record, for which I'm sure you'd find it takes a little longer.
    When you execute a query as a script, TOAD passes the query out to be run in SQL*Plus rather than from within TOAD itself. With SQL*Plus, it runs the whole statement fetching all the rows before returning control, the same as if you had scrolled to the end of the result set in TOAD.
    In reality there should be no difference in the time it takes to execute the statements to completion in either environment.

  • The difference between AIR-ANT5135D-R and AIR-ANT5135DB-R

    Hi,
    Anyone know what is the difference between AIR-ANT5135D-R and  AIR-ANT5135DB-R ?
    From the dynamic configuration tools for 1252 and 1242, AIR-ANT2422DB-R is inside one of the antenna option.
    However, I can't find it in the "Cisco Aironet Antennas and Accessories Reference  Guide"
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/wireless/ps7183/ps469/product_data_sheet09186a008008883b.html
    Inside the document there is only AIR-ANT5135D-R.
    likewise for the 2.4 GHz,  AIR-ANT2422DB-R is inside the dynamic configuration tools and not inside "Cisco Aironet Antennas and Accessories Reference  Guide"
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Found the difference, AIR-ANT5135DB-R and       AIR-ANT2422DB-R are  non-articulating antennas.
    Thanks!

  • The difference between Telepresence Content Server and MSE 3500

    Good day! Could someone explain me what's the difference between Telepresence Content Server and MSE 3500? Why do I need to obtain two these devices for sorting out my tasks? I want to understand gist of the first and the second devices.

    In addition to what Jonathan posted above, here is a Capture Transform Share Solution Guide that goes over a little bit of what the TCS and MXE are and some possible deployment scenarios.
    In short, TCS is used to record video conferences or lectures that can be streamed on demand or live using various streaming or distribution methods.  One such distribution method is using the MXE 3500 to ingest the recordings from TCS and convert them to different media types and add in-video content such as logos etc.  However, from the MXE, you can't send the video back to the TCS for viewing, you'd need to send that off to another viewing portal such as Show and Share.

    Janardhan

    Hi,
    Service Map Iview:The Service Map iView is an ERP-specific variant of the portal Workset Map iView. It serves as a central point of entry and guided access to the services of SAP service modules such as the Manager Self Service (MSS) module, or the Employee Self Service (ESS) module.
    Workset Map iview:A Workset Map is the equivalent of a site map, providing users with explicit information on the functionality that is available in a given workset. It is based on an iView, and serves as a central point of entry and guided access to the contents of a workset.

  • What is difference between ADF Task Flow and Faces-Config - when delpoy ?

    What is difference between ADF Task Flow and Faces-Config? When I create navigation between pages with ADF task flow then the navigation don't work when I deploy my application to Weblogic 10.3. When I use default server then navigation works fine. With Faces_config in both situations all works ok - on Stanalone server and default.
    Where is the problem?
    Best regards!

    Shay, I don't use both faces-config and adf task flow! When I failed with task flow I tried faces-config.
    I have active on my weblogic - adf.oracle.domain(1.0,11.1.1.0.0). This is the right ADF? If yes then where is the problem?
