Oracle Database 18c - Install On-Premises for Linux

Oracle Database 18c was available on Oracle Cloud. Now everybody can download Oracle Database 18c On-Premises for Linux (LINUX.X64_180000_db_home.zip)

 Oracle change a little on installation file.
  • OUI does not copy files to Oracle Home
You just extract the zip file to Oracle Home directly and OUI only linking binaries.

I installed Oracle Database 18c on Linux 7.1. Before installation, I set Oracle environments such as (ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_BASE). You can add these settings in oracle user .bash_profile.

You can watch my little installation video:




You can also read all about the new features in the 18c documentation

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 must use Linux ls –l  c…

When you need safely remove broker-managed Data Guard Configuration then, oracle recommend following steps…

Oracle Database 12c Release 2 - Long Identifiers

Image
Prior to Oracle Database 12c Release 2 have a problem with long identifier name, for example, in 11.2 version you cannot create long name (max 30 Bytes) tables.  As you see, from screenshots length of table name column is maximum 30.



In Oracle Database 12c Release 2 changed the length of identifier names, and this change depends on the COMPATIBLE initialization parameter. Documentation says:

If COMPATIBLE is set to a value of 12.2 or higher, then names must be from 1 to 128 bytes long with these exceptions: Names of databases are limited to 8 bytes. Names of disk groups, pluggable databases (PDBs), rollback segments, tablespaces, and tablespace sets are limited to 30 bytes. If an identifier includes multiple parts separated by periods, then each attribute can be up to 128 bytes long. Each period separator, as well as any surrounding double quotation marks, counts as one byte. For example, suppose you identify a column like this: "schema"."table"."column" …
