Everything our consultants learn while running databases for customers: Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB and Delphix. Expect hands-on posts about installation, day-to-day administration, backup and recovery, performance tuning, replication and upgrades.
Yesterday, I had a discussion with one of my friend who works with Oracle about some different behaviours between each query optimizer against one particular query. You can read his blog post and get the repro script here. I decided to write a blog post because our discussion has introduced some interesting concepts and I wanted to explain more things…

By Franck Pachot . In a standby database (or in any database you recover) do you think the recovery uses buffer cache? And when you stop the apply in a standby database, do you think the datafiles are in a consistent state? We know the answer, but want to prove it. This is the kind of question you may have,…

I had to perform a duplicate database between 2 ODAs and was always facing an ORA-65500 at the begin of the RMAN operation. Looking a bit deeper in the log outputs pointed me out that it was due to some changes in the way RMAN makes the duplicate in 12c and cluster resources management. Basically up to 12c when RMAN…

The idea behind was to get a better control of the network bandwidth as well as to be sure that the replication can be done without any latency issues…
