RE: RMAN - Some basic Qs.

2003-04-01 Thread mail2gkatteri
Answer 1: RMAN keeps track of increasing SCNs of any changing datablock
within the datafile being backedup. Hence not much redo.

Answers to other questions have been posted by others.

it ?

Qs.3 How does RMAN Check for Block Corruption while taking backup ?

Qs.4 Is it easy to integrate 3rd part tools like Legato etc with RMAN for enabling 
taking 
of backups onto backup devices OR does it need an extensive setup ?

RE: Upgrade from 8.1.7.4 to 9.2.0.1.0

2003-03-31 Thread mail2gkatteri
Oracle 7 to Oracle 8 involves changes to the rowid itself. Hence the 
tablespaces are part of migration.  For higher releases , the changes
take place to the system , rbs  tablespaces (if i recall correctly) and 
the user tablespaces are not touched by migration.

Jared - I agree with you. My understanding is that an Oracle upgrade just
changes the data dictionary. An Oracle migration (like Oracle 7 to Oracle 8)
involves changes to the tablespaces.

Thomas,

I think you will find this in either in the upgrade manual or MetaLink.

IIRC it depends on the number of DD objects, but I can't recall where
it was that I read that.

Is this just a data dictionary upgrade?

The real question is, does the down time for this upgrade depend on the
number of objects in the data dictionary or on the overall used tablespace
in the database?
