Oracle DBA FAQs

  • Backup and recovery: Is a Data Pump export a backup?

    No. An export cannot be used to restore and recover a damaged or missing data file.

  • Backup and recovery: Can you backup on one platform and restore to another?
    Yes, but there are some limitations and it can be awkward.
  • Backup and recovery: Can you backup in one release and restore to a higher release?
    Yes, but have to run the upgrade routine against the restored database.
  • DB tuning: What is a wait event?
    Something that causes a session or the instance to hang. They happen - not necessarily a problem.
  • DB tuning: Are AWR reports available in Standard Edition?
    No, the AWR requires EE plus the Diagnostics Pack. Use Statspack if these are not available.
  • DB tuning: Is Automatic Memory Management a feature one should use?
    It makes DB Admin easier, but does have limitations. Probably best to use it only on lower end systems.
  • Multitenant: How is Multitenant licensed?
    Free, and very useful, in all editions for up to three PDBs. More than three? You need EE plus the option.
  • Multitenant: Can you unplug from, eg, a release 12.x DB and plug in to a 19.x DB?
    Sure, then run the upgrade routine against it. Probabaly the easiest and quickest way to upgrade.
  • Security: Can an old 10g client connect to an 19c database?
    Yes, if you configure the database to generate and accept 10g password verifiers.
  • Security: Why don't roles work in PL/SQL definer's rights procedures?
    Because roles are dynamically enabled and disabled, but PL/SQL is statically compiled.

BAE Systems | Manchester, New Hampshire

As the lead Oracle Application Express (APEX) resource, Dan leveraged his knowledge of APEX, Oracle, and related web based technologies to help design and build a custom user interface on BAE’s existing Oracle EBS back end. Dan was an integral part of a team effort that took the project from behind to ahead of schedule while total staff was decreased. The project was completed on time and above expectations – a finished product which included additional deliverables.

North Carolina Community College NCCC

SkillBuilders was brought in to salvage and complete the project. SkillBuilders successfully completed the project on time and under budget.  The Apprentice Program application was migrated to SkillBuilders’ AWS hosting platform in the Spring of 2016.  This included a migration from BI Publisher to FOP and Apex Office Print.

pva

Paralyzed Veterans of America

SkillBuilders developed an Online Registration system for the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) with Oracle APEX. The application allows participants and coaches to enroll in the annual National Wheelchair Games via the web. Mobile tablet support was essential to satisfy the needs of the participants. A back office component of the application allows staff to process the applications.
