A golden opportunity to hear straight from the IT decision-makers on their cloud journey. The choices and considerations. – at Keller, TX

#OraTidbit #OrclDB Application Continuity masks outages from applications by recovering the in-flight work for impacted database sessions following outages. It performs this recovery beneath the application so that the outage appears to the application as a delayed execution.

#OraTidbit #OrclAPEX Oracle Application Express release 21.1 requires an Oracle Database release 12.1.0.2 or later, including Enterprise Edition (EE) and Express Edition (Oracle Database XE).

#OraTidbit #db21c #Exadata Automatic indexing considers more cases for potential indexes and allows inclusion or exclusion of specific tables. An enhancement has been introduced to reduce the overhead of cursor invalidations when a new automatic index is created.

#OraTidbit #db21c Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System (Oracle ACFS) automatic shrinking automatically shrinks an Oracle ACFS file system based on a policy providing there is enough free storage in the volume.

#OraTidbit #db21c Application Continuity Protection Check (ACCHK) provides guidance on the level of protection for each application that uses Application Continuity and assists you to increase protection if required.

#OraTidbit #OrclDB Starting with #db21c release, Oracle SQL*Loader can specify credentials that you define to access and read data from files in an object store into Oracle Database.

#OraTidbit #OracleCloud Each Exadata Cloud Service instance consists of compute nodes and storage servers. You have root privilege for the compute node VMs, so you can load and run additional software on them.

#OraTidbit #OracleCloud For each Exadata Cloud Service instance you provision, you are billed for the infrastructure for a minimum of 48 hours, and then by the second after that. Each OCPU you add to the system is billed by the second, with a minimum usage period of 1 minute.

#OraTidbit #OracleCloud The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure OS Management service allows you to manage updates and patches for the operating system environment on your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure instances.

#OraTidbit #OracleCloud The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Streaming service provides a fully managed, scalable, and durable solution for ingesting and consuming high-volume data streams in real-time.

#OraTidbit #OracleCloud OCI Database Migration is a fully-managed service that provides a high performing, self-service experience for migrating databases to OCI. It provides logical online and offline migration for enterprise-level database migration with minimal downtime.

#OraTidbit #OracleCloud Oracle Integration is a fully managed service that allows you to integrate your applications, automate processes, gain insight into your business processes, and create visual applications.

#OraTidbit #Exadata The Smart Flash Log Write-Back feature automatically and transparently stores the entire contents of redo log files using Exadata Smart Flash Cache in Write-Back mode, thereby eliminating the HDDs as a potential performance bottleneck.
