Best practice for backing out of Application Patches

2002-12-03 Thread Scott Stefick


Sorry, I forgot a Subject title!

Gurus,

I was just given a project to maintain a Computerized Maintenance 
Management System.  When I asked the companies support staff how to roll 
back patches in the backend Oracle Database (Ver. 8174), they said that 
there was no way to do this.  I'm guessing I could use logminer just 
incase a patch doesn't work.  Would this be a good solution, or are there 
other (better) ways of safeguarding myself when it comes to 
patching?  Obviously, I will be applying the patches to a test instance 
first, but I don't want to have to go back to restore from a backup if the 
patch causes unexpected issues.

TIA!

RE: Best practice for backing out of Application Patches

2002-12-03 Thread Mercadante, Thomas F
Scott,

Of course, the answer is It depends.

It all depends on the kind of software patches that are being applied.

Are you talking about adding a column to a table that allows nulls?  There
might not be a need to back this patch out - the column might be able to
stay depending on how it is used during an insert or select statment.  If
the application does not use the column, then removing it from the table
might need to be done.  On the other hand, if you are using version 8.1.7,
you can always drop the column from the table.

If your patches are just updates to schema views, you can always simply
e-apply the prior version of the views to back the updates out of the
database.

see, it all depends on the kind of schema update that was performed.  and it
can get very complicated when you are talking about foreign keys - literally
hundreds of tables could be involved - and you probably do not want to be
trying to figure out what got touched by an update.

probably the best answer is - to back all database changes out of a schema,
perform a database point-in-time restore back to before you applied the
patches.  if I had your job, and this was a purchased application, this is
what I would do.

hope this helps.

RE: Best practice for backing out of Application Patches

2002-12-03 Thread Scott Stefick
Thanks to Thomas Mercadante, Stephen Lee and Rick Cale for their 
responses.  I think it's pretty unanimous that if this needs to be done,  I 
would just restore to the point in time taken right before the patches were 
installed.  Either I could do an export/restore/import or refresh from the 
production Database (As long as the problem was caught before getting put 
on the production Database).   I just want to be covered from all angles 
before this application goes into production.

Thanks again!

Title: RE: Best Practice - Partitioned object, one partition per tablespace,





exactly - in the warehouse I am working on we have so much data over so many partitioned ranges (for the benefits of partition elimination) that it didn't make sense to create a separate part. in each tablespace plus at some point there are limits to datafiles - so grouped partitions based on access/modifications expected (for readonly benefits) - etc.

Another approach is to partition according to your load strategy, but make
them reside in tablespaces according to how you want to set them to READ
ONLY.


For example, if you load daily, partition daily. But if you want to set the
data into READ ONLY to reduce backup volumes on a quarterly basis, then put
all of those daily partitions into quarterly tablespaces. So, each
tablespace will have roughly 90-91 partitions for each table...

BTW, moving partitions from one tablespace to another is quick and easy so if later you have a real reason to have more tablespaces you can create them - our I/O configuration and access path did not warrant it at this time.

Robert - That is how I've generally done it. If you are partitioning because
the table is very large, then separate tablespaces gives you the flexibility
to place these partitions on separate devices so you can get some parallel

2002-09-25 Thread Paula_Stankus
Title: RE: Best Practice - Partitioned object, one partition per tablespace,





What if working on limited I/O so that striping is done at the OS level mostly. In this case there is no advantage to one partition - one tablespace and if there are many partitions it just gets hard to maintain. Partition elimination without separate I/O is the advantage of partitioning along with local indexes which is not dependent on the partitions tablespace. Therefore, I have grouped historical partitions into one tablespace then created separated tablespace on the most accessed partitions - say last 10 years. I find this easier to manage.

RE: Best Practice - Partitioned object, one partition per tablesp

2002-09-25 Thread Deshpande, Kirti

That's the strategy I have followed in my databases. Each table partition
and each index partition is in its own tablespace. Helps me a lot when I do
any maintenance operations. Partitioning is by 4 digit calendar year.

We currently are creating partitions of a given table in individual
tablespaces (1 partition = one tablespace). To me, this seems like a
reasonable practice. Anyone have any thoughts about this they would like the
share?

Exactly the way we do it as well.
Each table and index partition are in their own tablespaces (indexes are

Re: Best Practice - Partitioned object, one partition per tablesp

placing them in different tablespaces also allows you to place older
tablespaces into READ ONLY mode and reduce the volume of backups.  also
permits moving less-frequently accessed tablespaces to near-line storage,
such as tape-based file-systems or CDROM...

 Robert - That is how I've generally done it. If you are partitioning
because
 the table is very large, then separate tablespaces gives you the
flexibility
 to place these partitions on separate devices so you can get some parallel
 I/O going.

Re: Best Practice - Partitioned object, one partition per tablespace,

2002-09-25 Thread Tim Gorman

Another approach is to partition according to your load strategy, but make
them reside in tablespaces according to how you want to set them to READ
ONLY.

For example, if you load daily, partition daily.  But if you want to set the
data into READ ONLY to reduce backup volumes on a quarterly basis, then put
all of those daily partitions into quarterly tablespaces.  So, each
tablespace will have roughly 90-91 partitions for each table...

Just my $.02.  I agree separate tbs for different app schema's.  However, I would 
separate applications to their own db, especially if they are 3rd party apps.  You 
have much less control on COTS.  Some run their install scripts as sys.  I don't agree 
w/ it, but I am not going to rewrite their code, too many impt things to do.  The 
additional db resources required for separate databases for different apps is worth 
it.  If management wants more apps, then you tell them to buy more hardware.   Now if 
you have complete control of all the apps (i.e. you develop them), then maybe I would 
put them in the same db.  Big maybe :)

We are having an application which is used by different customers (around 15
customers).  On an average each customer will have around 1,000 transactions
per 5 minutes.  Now, is it better to have a separate database for each
customer on the same machine or to create all the customers as different
schema in one single database?  

What are the pros and cons.  I am specifically looking at performance and
security issues.  

Environment:

This application is a 24x7 environment, OLTP application. Sun 6500 Solaris 7
with 4 CPUS. Raid 10.  Memory 4 GB (memory can be increased if required).
Oracle 816.

Thanks,

Rao

Hi Maheswara,
I would think seperate databases would be the way to go, if for no other
reason, you can bring one customer offline without affecting the others.

RE: What is best practice - differenet schema/different dbs

2001-03-27 Thread Richard Ji

Having separate databases gives you some flexibility.  You can manage them
separatly, for instance you can upgrade the database to a newer version in
phase.  Also, if you lose a database only one customer is affected.  Do all
the customers always use the same application (same version)?  If one
customer wants to use the latest version of the application (perhaps for a
feature they have long been waiting for) when it become available and
requires the latest version of Oracle and the rest of the customers want to
stick with the old version, then you have to put them into separate
databases.

On the other hand, separate databases means more database to manage.

So the answer is depends on your situtaion.

Re:What is best practice - differenet schema/different dbs

Rao,

I'm going to differ from a previous return post.  I think that you should
use different schema's with separate tablespaces.  Why?  Because your all on one
machine therefore all of your background Oracle processes are competing for the
same CPU, memory, and IO resources which can and does slow matters down
significantly.  The best bet in my experience is one large DB instance with a
very large SGA, particularly in the DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS area.  We've tried both
approaches with our PeopleSoft development environments and this works much
better than multiple instances.  Way too much background CPU  Memory burn not
to mention all of the wasted disk space for multiple system, temp, rbs, and
other tablespaces.  It really dings the IO too.  BTW: with each schema in it's
own tablespace(s) you can still take one offline without crashing the others,
unless you need to take system or rbs offline.

Re: Best Practice ?

Hi !

It all depends on your OPTIMIZER_MODE. I guess you
will be using CHOOSE and if that is the case I would recommend
analyzing the tables indexes (or ANALYZE_SCHEMA) for
+ or - 10 % change.
