DB 21c available for download

articles: 

As from this weekend, it is here:

https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/oracle21c-linux-downloads.html

I'll certainly install it in the next few days, there are a few features I want to experiment with and I know our developers want to check out the new JSON features. Production use? I'm not sure. It being an "innovation" release only with no extended support makes me a bit dubious.

database block size - does it really matter?

articles: 

What block size should you use? For what purpose? How about tablespaces in different block sizes? Any opinions?

Installing database 19c on Oracle Linux 8

articles: 

Database release 19.7 (ie, 19c with the April 2020 RU) is at last certified for OL8, but there may be some hacking needed to get it installed.

This certification is long overdue: our security admin has been pushing for the 5.x kernel for some time, and OL7 still only supports kernel 4.x. I'm starting to move some production systems over now using the July RUR, which takes the release to 19.7.1.

Begin by installing the Oracle Validated rpm from the ol8_UEKR6 repository:

yum install oracle-database-preinstall-19c

The issue seems to be when I try to 'alter database open resetlogs'... after this the database shuts down. At this point, I don't really care about losing some of our data, this is just a test system, my main concern is how to get the database working again.

Oracle version 12.1.0.

1. I startup with nomount.

RMAN> startup nomount;

How to move a table from one schema to another

articles: 

Many times I've seen the question on forums "How can I move a table from one schema to another?" and the answer is always that you can't. You have to copy it. Or export/import it. Well, here's a way. It assumes that you are on release 12.x and have the partitioning option.

A very nice licensing change in 19c: you can now have up to three PDBs in a Standard Edition Multitenant database.
