• A virtualized single instance database– Omotion - live migration of instances

across servers• Move services, then shutdown

transactional– Built-in cluster failover for high availability

• Better than OS level virtualization– Rolling database patches– Manage fewer Operating Systems

• 10 DBs on a node does not mean 10Operating Systems to manage

– Rolling OS upgrades

• Flashback revolutionizes error recovery– View ‘good’ data as of a past point-in-time– Simply rewind data changes– Time to correct error equals time to make error

Correction Time = Error Time + f(DB_SIZE)

• Low impact, easy – simple commands, no complex procedure• Flashback Query, Table, Transaction, Database, Drop• SQL> flashback database to <timestamp>;

• Enhancements in 11.2:• Flashback database performance & monitoring optimizations• Flashback archive support for schema evolution

• Enables online application patches and upgrades

• Allows old and new version of application to co-existeven though schema is changed by new version

• Capabilities primarily used by application developers

New in 11.2

38

• Maintains logical versions of changed databaseobjects, through:– Edition– Editioning View– Crossedition Trigger

• PL/SQL code changes and view changes installedin the privacy of a new edition

• New data changes made to newcolumns/tables not seen by old edition

• Editioning view exposes a privateprojection of a table into each edition

• Crossedition trigger propagates changes made byold edition into new edition’s columns, or vice-versa
