Re: 9i standby

2001-07-17 Thread Don Granaman

I'm a little late to respond, but...

RAC is most certainly a significant upgrade to and renaming of OPS.  There
is absolutely no doubt about it.  At Oracle Open World 2000, all the Oracle
OPS people doing presentations found out about the name change only a few
weeks before the conference and scrambled madly to change all occurrences of
"Oracle Parallel Server" to "Real Application Clusters" in their 9i (nee
8.2) presentations.  The handouts still said OPS (and sometimes 8.2 ), but
the otherwise identical overheads (usually) said RAC and 9i.

The marketing denial of this is simply because OPS got such a bad
reputation - which was, in my opinion, largely undeserved.  The people who
actually write the code for OPS/RAC suffer no such delusions.  Granted
OPS/RAC is/was more complex, but the bad rep was mostly due to people trying
to use OPS inappropriately - for poorly-suited applications and systems
(i.e. the majority).

"RAC" is somewhat simpler to set up and administer than "OPS" and performs
much better, but it is still OPS with a new name.  While Oracle finally
admitted that OPS was a specialty product, they seem now to be saying that
RAC is for anything.  I wouldn't swallow all of that particular Kool-Aid
just yet!

Yes, you are right. OPS is no longer, long live RAC (Real Application
Cluster).
Rumor is that Oracle will produce software for HAL9000 later this year.

Th king is dead; long live the king! OPS was sparsely used, so they

Which is exactly what OPS did. You had several machines linked
to a centrally stored db. One wen't down, the others picked up the
slack.

A fat lot I know, I never used it. But I'm pretty sure that's what OPS
was all about. I'm sure they've added some functionality. At least,
I *hope* they've added some functionality.

When the central storage goes down, the RAC instances have nothing
to run against. That's where standby comes in. It duplicates the
central storage.

As I said, I've never done either of these, AND I'm unemployed. So
I MUST be an expert!

RE: 9i standby

2001-07-13 Thread Mark Leith

Brian,

They didn't actually say what hardware they ran on other than "Compaq".
There was a little discussion about this after the actual presentation with
other attendees also, but I shouldn't get too worried about de-support of
this solution at all. The actual day was an Oracle/Compaq release day (with
Compaq sponsoring), and they both seem to be working really well together to
get this done.

Even if they do write the Alpha chip off - do you really think that they
would not first bundle the software in to an intel chip? :) In my opinion
that is the sole reason they bought Digital out huh?

Still learning all this though, and have a fair bit of reading to do I
guess.. :)

RE: 9i standby

2001-07-13 Thread Mark Leith

No it is not the upgrade of OPS as I understand. They even put OPS down
themselves saying that it was sparsely used, and far to complicated to set
up.

What RAC does, is essentially link every machine together in to a "cluster",
then each physical machine can touch the same database concurrently
(probably on a central storage unit). There is no actual "standby" when this
is in use, as all machines connected to the cluster work together - but if
one of the machines has a hardware failure, the load is simply spread
between the remaining machines..

It looks *really* cool stuff, and by *Oracles* stats, beats any other
clustered databases in real world situations.

RE: 9i standby

2001-07-13 Thread Mark Leith

I attended the Oracle 9i opening yesterday at Oracle HQ in the UK, and one
of the main points they discussed about 9i, was the use of Real Application
Clusters (RAC). Of course you have to be running on Compaq hardware at the
moment, but it takes the need for a standby away, as you essentially just
plug the standby in to the cluster, and make use of it's computing power,
instead of having the standby just stood waiting for a failure..

Just a thought..

Properly designed and configured replication
environments, especially on 8i+, can handle a
phenomenal transaction level.  I've worked with sites
that replicate 20GB+ a day and db performance is
excellent.  On the other hand, I've also worked with
sites that were such a mess that replicating 100MB a
day was an effort.

I think there's just less margin for error in
designing and configuring a replication environment
when you're dealing with that high a transaction load.

Re: 9i standby

2001-07-12 Thread Rachel Carmichael

there are actually two kinds of "standby" that they are talking about in 
9i..

if you use the logminer to generate the SQL for the standby db, then you are 
applying SQL statements to the standby and you can run read-only 
transactions about it.

If you go to oracle online ed, there is a presentation on high availability 
there that you can sign up for (free registration) and it talks about this.

Replication happens in discrete chunks and there is a distinct possibility
of losing data if replication was used in banks. Banks and other financial
institutions are using OPS with EMC or DiskShark (IBM) based remote
replication
facilities. I know that Oxford Health Plans uses 4-way parallel server for 
both data safety and performance reasons.

Thanks. If anyone else knows of anything out there for really high volume

a WAN it would be appreciated. I was under the impression that banks, credit
card companies, and 
telephone companies were replicating there data using Oracle but it doesn't
look like it.
Anyone know what they are using? It also seems like for certain apps they

Most of the high-volume replicated sites that I have heard of over the past few years 
use Quest's Shareplex.  I've had no experience with Clustra.

Re: 9i standby

2001-07-12 Thread David Turner

Thanks. If anyone else knows of anything out there for really high volume replication 
over
a WAN it would be appreciated. I was under the impression that banks, credit card 
companies, and 
telephone companies were replicating there data using Oracle but it doesn't look like 
it.
Anyone know what they are using? It also seems like for certain apps they would have to
use synchronous replicatiion.  Has anyone had any experience with Clustra?

RE: 9i standby

2001-07-12 Thread Gogala, Mladen

I don't think so. My understanding was that you may open
the standby in read only mode, but I don't think that
you can have the database open in the read only mode
and apply logs at the same time. Not before oracle 12j,
anyway.

Anyone know if the standby in 9i can be in readonly mode while the logs are
being applied? I've heard about this as being the case and also that this
isn't
the case.

Re: 9i standby

2001-07-12 Thread JOE TESTA



Page 61 of Oracle 9i, Data Guard concept.pdf 
 
says the standby can be in one of 2 states, open for read-only 
or in managed recovery mode.  if its open in read only, it can't have logs 
applied.  I've not gotten around to testing that 9i concept yet.  
although it looks like it will be kewl to flip between primary and standby 
WITHOUT rebuilding :)
