FRA Usage and Administration

 In Oracle database, the Flash Recovery Area or FRA is a location on disk where the database can create and manage several kinds of backup and recovery-related files. Main file types are archivelog, flashback log, backups, as well as mirrors for your control files and redo log files. All files in the FRA are Oracle-managed files. Using a Flash Recovery Area simplifies the administration of your database by automatically retaining them for as long as they are needed for restore and recovery activities, and deleting them when they are no longer needed, because the space is needed for another backup and recovery-related purpose. Checking the current usage  You can check the configuration by looking at two parameters.The parameters are db_receovery_file_dest and second one db_recovery_file_dest_size .  db_receovery_file_dest point to location where the files will be located in Server . FOr normal single Databases this will be any directory for RAC this will b...

Oracle Architecture SGA

Image
 Architecture :   Basic Memory Structures Oracle Database includes several memory areas, each of which contains multiple subcomponents. The basic memory structures associated with Oracle Database include: ·          System global area (SGA) The SGA is a group of shared memory structures, known as SGA components , that contain data and control information for one Oracle Database instance. All server and background processes share the SGA. Examples of data stored in the SGA include cached data blocks and shared SQL areas. ·          Program global area (PGA) A PGA is a nonshared memory region that contains data and control information exclusively for use by an Oracle process. Oracle Database creates the PGA when an Oracle process starts.One PGA exists for each server process and background process. The collection of individual PGAs is the total instance PGA, or instance PGA . Database ...

Backup Strategy :  Gather all the details of physical files (CRD) files in  database . redo log files are online redo log and archived redo log ones .   Select file_name,tablespace_name from dba_data_files  ; select * from v$controlfile  select member from v$logfile ; select name from v$archived_Log ;  create pfile from spfile  Backup  the contol file manually . alter database backup controlfile to trace as '/tmp/coldbackup_controlfile.sql' ;     Stop all the DB services (Database ,Listener)on source DB Server. Copy all the files(Datafiles,redo...
