Kitab incələmə: SQL asan yanaşma yolu (Genişləndirilmiş versiya)

Image
(blog post in Azerbaijani) Təqdimat mərasimi Azərbaycan dilində informasiya texnologiyaları movzusunda yazılmış kitab çox azdır. Bu tip kitabların az olmasının ən böyük səbəbi İT sahəsinə aid rəsmi terminaloji tərcümənin olmamasıdır. Buna baxmayaraq son illərdə bir neçə texniki nəşrlə tanış olmaq imkanım olmuşdur. Bu kitablardan biri Samir Səmədov (OCM11g, www.ocm.az ) və Ramin Səmədov (OCP11g) qarşlarının müəllifliyi ilə çap olunmuş “SQL asan yanaşma yolu” kitabıdır. Bu günlərdə bu kitabın yeni bir versiyası, “SQL Genişləndirilmiş versiya” kitabının İnfoCity və Ali və Nino mağazalar şəbəkəsininin dəstəyi ilə təqdimat mərasimi təşkil olunmuşdu və mən də bu tədbirə dəvət olunmuşdum. Samir və Raminə dəvətə görə xüsusi təşəkkür edirəm. Tədbir həqiqətən gözəl təşkil olunmuşdu. SQL Asan yanaşma yolu - Genişləndirilmiş versiya: Bu kitabın birinci versiyası ilə də tanış olmaq imkanım olmuşdu. Kitabın ikinci versiyası mənə də hədiyyə olunduğundan, oxumaq imkanım da oldu.

Book Review: Expert Oracle RAC 12c

Image
As you know, the Oracle Database with the Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) option allows running multiple database instances on different servers in the cluster against a shared set of data files, also known as the database. The database spans multiple hardware systems and yet appears as a single unified database to the application. This enables the utilization of commodity hardware to reduce total cost of ownership and to provide a scalable computing environment that supports various application workloads. Oracle RAC is Oracle’s premier shared disk database clustering technology. I finished review of the book about Oracle RAC technology - "Expert Oracle RAC 12c" by authors Syed Jaffar Hussain (Oracle ACED, DBA of the Year for 2011), Tariq Farooq (Oracle ACED), Riyaj Shamsudeen (Oracle ACED, Member of OakTable Network) and Kai Yu (Oracle ACED, Technologist of the Year for 2012)  published by APRESS.  The book "Expert Oracle RAC 12c" is covered e

Just finished review of book "Oracle Data Guard 11gR2 Administration Beginner's Guide” by authors, my dear friends Emre Baransel and Nassyam Basha. "Oracle Data Guard 11gR2 Administration Beginner's Guide” book is a good introduction to Oracle Data Guard 11g R2 with examples that will be useful to all DBA’s. It is also is a very good book in terms of helping beginner- readers from creating and configuring Oracle Data Guard (11g R2) configurations. By reading this book one will learn what standby databases, protection modes, transport and apply services including role transitions. The book also covered Active Data Guard and dedicated chapter for patching and Common Data Guard issues. This book is an ideal book for somebody who wants begin to learn quickly about Data Guard. The book covered Oracle Data Guard 11gR2 with 11 chapters, 385 pages. Every chapter has a pop quiz, time for action and has a lot of tips and tricks. Really, I liked this style of this b

Converting an Administrator-Managed Database to a Policy-Managed Database and vise versa.

Image
Hi,  Cluster database configuration can be Policy-Managed or Administrator-Managed. A Policy-Managed database is dynamic with instances managed automatically based on server pools for effective resource utilization. Admin-Managed database results in instances tied to specific servers.  When we create 11g Release 2 RAC database, on database configuration assistant’s 3 of 13 step we must choose Configuration type : Admin-Managed or Polisy-Managed. As you know, we can convert configuration type of Oracle RAC Database after installation.In this post I want share steps of conversion of Admin-Managed database to Policy managed (Case #1) and Policy-Managed to Admin-Managed (Case #2). In my case my test RAC Database (racdb) is created Adminstrator-Managed. Case #1 : Convert Administrator-Managed Database to Policy-Managed Database Checking configuration of racdb database. [oracle@oel62-rac1 /]$ srvctl config database -d racdb Database unique name: racdb Database name:

Which device is mapped Oracle ASM disk?

Hi, Yesterday Yuva Kishore is commented on my Oracleasm - Instantiating disk : failed post and asked a question: We can list the asm disks (listdisks) but where can we find the mapping that ASMDISK1 is mapped to /dev/sda1 and so on?  I want answer this question with this post. If you  are using ASMLib for configure ASM Disks, then you can use following steps for define which device mapped which ASM Disk. As you  know, oracleasm listdisks is return only ASM disk names [grid@oel62-rac1 ~]$ oracleasm listdisks ASMDISK01 ASMDISK02 ASMDISK03 ASMDISK04 ASMDISK05 [grid@oel62-rac1 ~]$ If you want find which ASM disk is mapped which device, then you must use oracleasm querydisk with ASM disk name . [grid@oel62-rac1 ~]$ oracleasm querydisk -d ASMDISK01 Disk "ASMDISK01"  Is a valid ASM disk On device[8,17] As see you, ASMDISK01 is valid ASM disk on device [8,17]. What is means? It means ASMDISK01 is mapped to device [8,17]. How to find [8,17] device? We mus

Oracle Data Guard 11g - Redo Transport User

Hi, As you know when we create Data Guard Configuration, we must copy password file. Because SYS user is default redo transport user on Data Guard configurations. SYS password is changed on primary When we change SYS password on primary database, redo transport service is stopping and we are getting error: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges. When redo transport failed for this reason we can recreate standby password file with copy from primary side. Same time we can change redo transport user, by setting REDO_TRANSPORT_USER with SYSOPER privileged user. I demonstrated in two case, when SYS password changing on primary database. Password files. Traditionally we are coping password file from primary with operating system command (cp, copy). After Oracle Database 11g version RMAN can duplicate password file with DUPLICATE command, so when we using RMAN DUPLICATE command with FOR STANDBY FROM ACTIVE DATABASE option, we can use PASSWORD FILE option for copy primary database pas
