Oracle Databases and Storage Systems like HP EVA

Hi everybody,
are there generel advantages or disadvantages using such storage systems?
I would be happy if somebody could talk about his experience using such systems.
Is there better/less performance with Oracle Databases? Better/less Security for my Data instead of using a local raid 5/1+0 for example? Or anything else I should now before using such a storage system.
What type of storage are you using? What type of disks would be the best (scsi/fata) ?
Please talk with me a little bit about your experience with storage systems and Oracle Databases ;-)
Thank you

Abhi
Greate to meet another DBA in forum.The big problem we will face is SQL Tune.
Nothing much Diffnt supporting SAP.SAP PRovided some ready made tools to monitor and to solve.Reg tuning still we can follow same methoda but with approval from SAP or by ref SAP notes.Which u can find at service market place.
You can find some PDfs in sap market place and sdn.Which are ex'ly for DBas.
Reg Growth rate you can have a look on sap transactions and there are some notes also.I dont think there is specific Book or Doc which will say Dos and donts.
Performance we used to follow same methoda as a Dbas with ref of sap notes and support for any side effects.
let me know if are in need of any specific info

  • How to load PDF files into oracle database and display them in APEX

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement for loading the Loading PDF files (lots of PDf files) to the oracle database and then display the PDF files in the Oracel APEX report.
    So that User can view the PDF files. Our current APEX verison is 3.2..
    Please let me know how to implement it and where to find the sample application!
    Thanks in advanced!
    Jane

    Thanks Tony for your quick response!
    We need to load a lot of PDfs (history + current).
    I have a questions about the SQL loader. I am trying to insert a pdf file into a table by following the oracle loading sample:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/text.920/a96518/aload.htm
    Example Data File: loader2.dat
    This file contains the data to be loaded into each row of the table, articles_formatted.
    Each line contains a comma separated list of the fields to be loaded in articles_formatted. The last field of every line names the file to be loaded in to the text column:
    Ben Kanobi, plaintext,Kawasaki news article,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
    But i don't know to where should I put my pdf file on the server.
    for example:
    ,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
    Where is the file 'kawasaki.txt'??
    I try my local path, it didn't work. like c:\temp.
    then I loaded teh PDf file into our server(/findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp) , and In my data file. I put the path
    1, pdf_emp1,../findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp
    but I got the error: the system can not find the file specified.
    Where should I put the PDf files on the server and how to specify the path in the data file?
    Thanks!

  • Oracle DB and File system backup configuration

    Hi,
    As I understand from the help documents and guides, brbackup, brarchive and brrestore are the tools which are used for backing up and restoring the oracle database and the file system. We have TSM (Trivoli Storage manager) in our infrastructure for managing the backup centrally. Before configuring the backup with TSM, I want to test the backup/restore configuration locally i.e. storing the backup to local file system and then restoring from there. Our backup strategy is to have full online backup on the weekends and incremental backup on the weekdays. Given this, following are the things, I want to test.
    1. Full online backup (to local file system)
    2. Incremental online backup (to local file system)
    3. Restore (from local file system)
    I found help documents to be very generic and couldn't get any specific information for the comprehensive configuration to achieve this. Can someone help with end to end configuration?
    We are using SAP Portal 7.0 (NW2004s) with Oracle 10g database hosted on AIX server.
    Helpful answers will be rewarded
    Regards,
    Chandra

    Thanks for your feedback. I am almost clear about this issue now, except one point need to be confirmed: do you mean that on linux or unix, if required, we can set "direct to disk" from OS level, but for windows, it's default "direct to disk", we do not need to set it manually.
    And I have a further question: If a database is stored on a SAN disk, say, a volume from disk array, the disk array could take snapshot for a disk on block level, we need to implement online backup of database. The steps are: alter tablespace begin backup, alter system suspend, take a snapshot of the volume which store all database files, including datafiles, redo logs, archived redo logs, controll file, service parameter file, network parameter files, password file. Do you think this backup is integrity or not. please note, we do not flush the fs cache before all these steps. Let's assume the SAN cache could be flushed automatically. Can I think it's integrity because the redo writes are synchronous.

  • Compression for oracle database and index compression during import of data

    Hi All,
    I have a query , in order to import into oracle database and also have compression and index compression , do we have some kind of load args for r3load and also do we have to change the tpl file ?

    Hello guy,
    I did this kind of compression within migration project before.
    I performed index compress first and then export -> import with table compress.
    One thing you should take care, delete nocompress flag from TARGET.SQL (created by program SMIGR_CREATE_DDL, program SMIGR_CREATE_DDL created pure non-compression objects for these considered non-standard tables). For table columns > 255, we should not delete this flag.
    Regarding to the index compress in source system, please check the following notes:
    Note 1464156 - Support for index compression in BRSPACE 7.20
    Note 1109743 - Use of Index Key Compression for Oracle Databases
    Note 682926 - Composite SAP note: Problems with "create/rebuild index"

  • Where should one install Oracle Database and the Grid Infrastructure in order to adhere to OFA?

    I've downloaded the two zipped install folders for Oracle Database, and the two zipped install folders for the Grid Infrastructure.  The book I'm following for installation says to use one directory for the database, and one directory for the Grid Infrastructure, but it doesn't explain where they should be located in OFA.  Presumably they should both end up somewhere in the same Oracle Base (since everything Oracle related on a single file system should go in the same base, according to my understanding), but it isn't clear where they should be installed in relation to each other.  For example, is the Grid Infrastructure a separate product that gets its own Oracle Home?  Can anyone shed light on this process?
    Also, does it matter to which location the zipped files are unzipped?  For example, are any of these files used after the installation process, or does OFA only care about post-installation location?

    I think this links may be helpful -- ORACLE-BASE - Oracle Database 11g Release 2 RAC On Oracle Linux 5.8 Using VirtualBox, http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/hunter-rac11gr2-iscsi-088677.html.
    OFA -- Optimal Flexible Architecture standard. The standard is a set of configuration guidelines created to ensure well organized Oracle installations that are easier to maintain (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32002/app_ofa.htm#LADBI440).
    It relates to location of the grid and dbms files location. Actually you should specify base directory and follow installer. System will be installed in correct directories.
    It does not matter where you will unzip your distributives. You may delete them after installation to free space.

  • How to install two oracle database on one system

    i want to install two oracle databases on single system how it is possible
    how i can manager oracle home and is this possible to install two different version of oracle in single home or single system forexample oracle 9 and oracle 8 .
    A.R

    Hi,
    yes, u can have more databases on a single machine and they can be of different versions.
    You have to use and initialize the correct ORACLE_HOME to create the DB of the version U use.
    For ex, u have 2 homes:
    C:\Oracle\Ora817 8i home and C:\Oracle\ora920 9i home
    Normally, using OFA, imagine that You want create 2 db, TEST_8I for 8i home and TEST_9I for the 9i home, You shold have:
    C:\Oracle\Admin\TEST_8I\<<OFA DIRS>> and C:\Oracle\Oradata\TEST_8I for 8i DB adn C:\Oracle\Admin\TEST_9I\<<OFA DIRS>> and C:\Oracle\Oradata\TEST_9I for the 9i version.
    It is important, when You create the DB, that u use the executables of C:\Oracle\Ora817\bin to create 8i db and C:\Oracle\Ora920\bin for the 9i one.
    Then U can use the 9i listener to manage both instances
    Hope this helps

  • Installing Oracle Database and SQL Developer

    Hi, I was looking for some help/advice in regards to installing an Oracle Database and SQL Developer onto a Windows 7 32bit machine. I have been asked to create a database to store data that I create through reports in Excel so I am required to create a local database but not sure how to go about doing this. Also not sure if I install the Express Edition or Oracle Database 11g R2. If somebody could please advise on how I can get this started or even any links/tutorials that would guide me in how to get this installed with a localhost.
    Thanks in advanc.

    Thanks guys, I have managed to install Oracle 11gR2 and I have setup a database using the dbca tool and I can connect to my new database. One thing that I have noticed is that when i look into my tables in sql developer i see loads of different tables i.e. def$_, logmnr_, etc and I am not sure why this is as I expected an empty tablespace.
    Thanks btw for all your help.
    One of the key principles of relational databases is that they use their own facilities to manage themselves.  That means the database management system uses the database to manage data about the database using exactly the same facilities (tablespaces, tables, user accounts, procedures, etc) that an application uses to keep data for the application. See "data dictionary"   So there is no such thing as a completely empty database.
    As said by others, you do NOT want to be creating your own tables under oracle's schemas (users) or in oracle's own tablespaces (esp. SYSTEM and SYSAUX).  Create your own user account/schema.  Create your own tablespace. Make that tablespace the default for that user.

  • Managing oracle databases using open standards like WBEM

    Typically an Oracle Database environment is best monitored and managed using the
    Oracle Enterprise Manager.
    But does Oracle allow/support monitoring and management of Oracle databases using open standards like WBEM?
    We are trying to standardize on an open standard like WBEM for monitoring and managing hardware and software and also model those entities using the CIM (Common Information model) and would
    like to monitor Oracle Databases under this model using WBEM.
    I have read about the ability of the Oracle Enterprise manager to manage other third party hardware and software including databases using WBEM Fetchlets.
    Would appreciate any information regarding this topic.

    Better post your question in Enterprise Manager
    also do a search on WBEM in the forum

  • Hosting obiee, database, and storage

    I have a client that would like to host obiee in the cloud. It sounds like they would need the database and storage cloud service. They would like to host these in the cloud and have an obiee instance running against it, what would be the best approach? Is the data and insight cloud service built on obiee? If so, would they get the same access as if they installed in locally?
    Best,

    Data and Insight is not built on OBIEE. We currently do not offer OBIEE on the cloud.

    Oracle Forms is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool not a database. With Forms, you connect to an Oracle database to query and display data from the database as well as insert new or update existing data. Consequently, if exists in the database - you should be able to display it in a Form.

  • Creating A New Oracle Database And Sql Developer

    Hi,
    I'm a newbie to Oracle and and a not so newbie to Sql Server and Visual Studio.
    I am trying to learn Oracle on my local machine. I want to create a new Oracle Database and start learning from there.
    I have downloaded sql developer, the data modeler, and the Oracle Client. Could someone please provide some guidance on how to create a Oracle Database?
    From the responses, it appears that none of the items I mentioned actually creates a database. Sql Server provides a free download, also a developer version for a minimal fee. What specific Oracle product would be best to provide this type of service?
    Thanks,

    Edited by: user8948230 on Jan 7, 2010 9:50 AMIn addition to downloading and installing the database software to create a database, might I also suggest you start getting familiar with the documentation.
    Learning where to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
    Go to tahiti.oracle.com. Drill down to your product and version.
    Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab you will find the complete documentation library.
    Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
    Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there.
    Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
    Do the same with the Utilities manual.
    You don't have to read the above in depth. They are reference manuals. Just get familiar with what is there to be referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
    After you have familiarized yourself with what is available, read the "2-Day DBA" manual to help get you started.
    Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
    - Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
    - Look in your alert log and find all the non-default initialization parms listed at instance startup. Then read up on each one of them in the Reference Manual.
    - Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
    - When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.
    Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

  • Oracle JVM and Operating System JVM different?

    Are Oracle JVM and Operating System JVM different?
    For applying the DST patches if JVM is updated from OS patches do we need to apply any other jvm patches again?

    Hi,
    Yes, the OracleJVM is embedded in the RDBMS kernel and does not share any reference/components with the JDK (i.e., OS JVM); fwiw, you can learn more about OracleJVM (archtecture, memory management, security, threading, performance) in chapter two of my book.
    Regarding the DST patch, there is an RDBMS patch that should cover OracleJVM as well; Re: How to verify if the DST patch applied correctly or not.
