Redo Logs Redo logs are necessary to ensure database integrity and should be duplexed in Oracle. Oracle mirroring helps even if your redo logs are mirrored by your storage subsystem since Oracle will use the alternate redo log if one should become corrupt.[r]
Jonathan Gennick, the editor, has as usual left his powerful mark on the book. I can’t think of any part of this book that didn’t benefit from Jonathan’s conscientious and superb editing at both the technical as well the editorial level.

To list the databases using code, query the sys.databases catalog view. Best Practice M any DBAs detest the default autogrowth settings because the database is locked during an autogrowth. Growing by 1MB per growth is probably far too small and will cause frequent interruptions. An[r]

And that is all you’re going to get from us on the subject, except to say this: you can still use manually built raw partitions on a shared disk array to arrange your RAC datafiles and log files. So, if you desire, you do not need a cluster file system or ASM. You just need ra[r]
Adjusting the parameters can help change how the optimizer behaves, and can also give the database instance more resources, especially when increasing the memory parameters to allocate more memory to the system. Some of the default settings might be valid for simple databas[r]
