Yes, we have a great team – supported by a great manager: Thank you, Richard! Congratulations to everyone in the circle this time, I feel honored to be listed together with you!

By the way, I never understood why the fiscal year is ahead of the calendar year – suppose you need to study business economics for that 😉

RMAN old feature: Restore datafile without backup

Veröffentlicht von Uwe Hesse in TOI am Oktober 20, 2015

helps

Say I have created a new tablespace recently and did not yet take a backup of the datafile. Now I lose that datafile. Dilemma? No, because I can do an ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE. Sounds complex? Well even if I wouldn’t be aware of that possibility, a simple RMAN restore will work – as if there were a backup:

RMAN> create table adam.nu tablespace tbs1 as select * from adam.sales where rownum<=10000; 
Statement processed 
RMAN> alter system switch logfile;

Statement processed

RMAN> host 'echo kaputt > /u01/app/oracle/oradata/prima/tbs1.dbf';

host command complete

RMAN> select count(*) from adam.nu;

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

RMAN> alter database datafile 5 online;

Statement processed

RMAN> select count(*) from adam.nu;

  COUNT(*)
----------
     10000

Cool isn’t it? Requires that you have all archived logs available since the creation of the tablespace. And besides the SQL commands inside the RMAN shell, it is not a 12c new feature. It works that way since forever, as far as I recall. Don’t believe it, test it!  Maybe not on a production system 😉

#Oracle Learning Streams – Have a look!

Veröffentlicht von Uwe Hesse in TOI am September 7, 2015

Oracle University has introduced a new format that suits the way many learn today: Oracle Learning Streams

Oracle Learning Streams

Although I do not expect that this format will replace classroom training, I consider it a great enhancement – coming with a price like most good things…

As you can see, I’m happy to contribute to it in my area of expertise: You can find me here in the Database Stream.

My clips start with A Practical Guide because they all contain brief demonstrations that show how things can be done practically.

This is what I think viewers want to get instead of „Death by PowerPoint“ 🙂

It is an ongoing process (a stream of content, therefore the name), so I will keep on adding clips to the pool.

Especially if you like my kind of content, so have a look and get back to me to tell what you would like to see there, please!
