Migrating Flashback Data Archive (FDA) tables

Posted on April 8, 2022 by Export - Import 9

This morning I received an email question from a customer asking whether there is support for the Migrating Flashback Data Archive (FDA) tables in Oracle 19c. And since this is not the first time I received this question, I thought it may be good to have a blog post about it.

What is Flashback Data Archive (FDA)?

Well, google it. Actually I was looking for a link in our documentation but to my surprise I found the usual suspects such as Tim Hall’s excellent oracle-base page – but not much in our own doc …

Posted on December 8, 2021 by Workshop 2

It looks to me that every possible event in 2021 happens in October/November/December 2021.

“Have you every heard from Oracle Support “”It will be fixed in 21c or 23c””? And wondered if you should upgrade now, and how you should upgrade when the release is not there yet?

Webinar Description

There is no clear definition what “large” means. But we think about database of many Terabytes and more. Large databases require different considerations. Often there is not much spare space available. Our focus is to show and demonstrate how to migrate really large databases as quickly as possible following our dogma of “the more simple the better”. But if downtime restrictions come into play, we may need to chose more complex solutions.

Check your Unified Auditing Policies after upgrading to Oracle 19c

Posted on October 21, 2020 by Auditing Flaws and Pitfalls Oracle Database 19c 7

This may become a longer blog post. One of the customers I work with for many years contacted me a few weeks ago.

So you may Check your Unified Auditing Policies after upgrading to Oracle 19c as well.
