Next-Generation Oracle Database Availability –

A Sneak Preview
Juan Loaiza
Senior Vice President, Oracle Corporation
The following is intended to outline our general
product direction. It is intended for information
purposes only, and may not be incorporated into any
contract. It is not a commitment to deliver any
material, code, or functionality, and should not be
relied upon in making purchasing decisions.
The development, release, and timing of any
features or functionality described for Oracle’s
products remain at the sole discretion of Oracle.

Availability Focus Area

• Oracle database development launched the

“Database Focus Area” in 1998 (8i release)
• Database availability was primarily provided
by underlying hardware/OS platform
• Goal was to divorce the database from the
limitations of the hardware platform
• Pool and virtualize underlying hardware resources
• Create fault-tolerance using low cost hardware
• Create innovative solutions to long standing
availability problems
• e.g. Human error, corruptions, etc.

• Goal is to quickly analyze and repair
• For Localized damage
• Need surgical analysis and repair
• Example – deleted wrong order
• For Widespread damage
• Need complete back-out to avoid long downtime
• Example – batch job deletes this month’s orders

14
 Investigate Errors using Time Navigation
• Flashback Query
• Query all data at point in time

select * from Emp AS OF ‘2:00 P.M.’ where …

 Flashback Version Query

– See all versions of a row between times
– See transactions that changed the row
Tx 3 select * from Emp VERSIONS BETWEEN
‘2:00 PM’ and ‘3:00 PM’ where …

Tx 2
 Flashback Transaction Query
– See all changes made by a transaction

Tx 1 select * from FLASHBACK_TRANSACTION_QUERY

where xid = ‘000200030000002D’;

15
 Flashback Database

A new strategy for point in time recovery

•
• Flashback Log captures old versions of
changed blocks
• Think of it as a continuous backup
Disk Write
• Replay log to restore DB to time
• Restores just changed blocks
New Block Old Block
Version • It’s fast - recover in minutes, not hours
Version
• It’s easy - single command restore

Flashback Database to ‘2:05 PM’

Data Files Flashback “Rewind” button for the Database

Log

16
Flashback Error Correction

• Correct errors at any level

Database
• Database
Customer • Flashback Database - restore
database to time
• Table
• Flashback Table - restore
contents of tables to time
• Flashback Drop - restore
Order dropped table
• Row
• Flashback Query - restore
individual rows

17
 Restore Points (10.2)

• 10.2 allows the declaration of named restore points

Create Restore Point Known_good_point;

…..
Flashback Database to Restore Point Known_good_point;

• Easy way to return to a known time

• Guaranteed restore points ensure that flashback logs are retained
• 10.2 can flashback through:
• Previous database recovery and open resetlogs
• Switchover to standby
• Previous Flashback DB
• Flashback and incremental backup apply can be combined to maintain
a reporting database
• Similar to split mirror and merge mirror

Redo Shipping

• Fast-Start Failover implements automatic failover to standby

database
• Triggered by failure of Site, Hosts, Storage, or Network
• Works with and supplements RAC server failover
• Failover occurs in seconds
• Comparable to cluster failover
• Original site automatically rejoins the configuration after recovery
39
 Oracle Streams Replication

Shipment and Apply
Primary Physical Standby
Database Database

• Read-only queries on physical standby concurrent with redo apply

• Supports RAC on primary / standby
• Queries see transactionally consistent results
• Immediate appeal to the many users of physical standby
• DR with real time query is unique in the industry – no idle resources
• Handles all data types, but not as flexible as logical standby

42
 Snapshot Standby – Leverage Standby
Database for Testing
• Convert Physical Standby to Snapshot
Standby and open for writes by testing
Physical Standby applications
Apply Logs • ALTER DATABASE CONVERT TO
SNAPSHOT STANDBY;
• Discard testing writes and catch-up to
Open Back out primary by applying logs
Database Changes • ALTER DATABASE CONVERT TO
PHYSICAL STANDBY;
• Preserves zero data loss
• But no real time query or fast failover
Snapshot Standby • Similar to storage snapshots, but:
Perform Testing

• Allows updates to reporting tables, adding indexes,
Logical materialized views, auditing, etc.
Standby • Limitations - data types, slower apply
Reporting with Updates • Testing – Snapshot Standby
• Full updates to all tables
• Limitations - slow failover, no real-time reporting
Snapshot • Multi-Site Updates – Streams
Standby • Active-active updates on primary and ‘standby’,
Testing heterogeneous hardware

63
 In-Place Redefinition Improvements

• Fast add column with default value

• Does not need to update all rows to default value
• Invisible Indexes prevent premature use of newly
created indexes
• Online index build with NO pause to DML
• No recompilation of dependent objects when
• Columns added to tables
• Procedures added to packages
• Easier to execute table DDL operations online
• Option to wait for active DML operations instead of aborting

64
 Edition-Based Redefinition

• Editions provide versioning for database code objects

• PL/SQL, triggers, views, synonyms, etc.
• Patch and upgrade scripts make changes in a New
Edition that is invisible to current production users
• New Edition is published for production use after
scripts are complete, and new code is tested

sql> create Edition “New_Edition” as child of “Old_Edition”;

sql> alter session set Current_Edition = “New_Edition”;

… Load new versions of non-table objects

65
 Versioning a View of a Table

• Tables are not versionable in Editions

• Create an Editioning View in front of a table to
version the table definition
• Editioning Views select and name a subset of the columns
of a single table
• Useful for hiding new or changed columns from
production users
• Create an editioning view in the “Old Edition” that hides
the changes to be made in the “New Edition”
• No invalidation, and no transition errors!

66
 Features for Handling Data Changes
During Upgrades

• Set table read-only for all editions

• Then copy table and make any changes you want
• Set editioning view read-only
• No updates allowed in that edition – usually “Old_Edition”
• Forward crossedition triggers fire for changes made by
sessions in “Old_Edition”
• Transform and propagate changes to “New Edition”
• Reverse crossedition triggers fire for changes made by
sessions in “New Edition”
• Transform and propagate changes to “Old Edition”
