- 2 GB (default value)
- 200% of PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET
- 3 MB times the PROCESSES parameter

59. Full Database Caching
Can be used to cache the entire database in
memory. It should be used when the buffer
cache size of the database instance is greater
than the whole database size.

60. RMAN Table Recovery in 12c
RMAN enables you to recover one or more
tables or table partitions to a specified point in
time.

61. RMAN Table Recovery in 12c

66. Heat Map, Automatic Data
Optimization and ILM
OTN Article in Portuguese by Daniel Da Meda and Alex Zaballa
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/pt/articles
/database-performance/ilm-e-automatic-data-
optimization-2601873-ptb.html

67. Heat Map, Automatic Data
Optimization and ILM
• Heat Map: Oracle Database 12c feature that stores system-
generated data usage statistics at the block and segment
levels. Automatically tracks modification and query
timestamps at the row and segment levels.
• Automatic Data Optimization (ADO): automatically moves
and compresses data according to user-defined policies
based on the information collected by Heat Map
• ILM: Heat Map and Automatic Data Optimization make
Oracle Database 12c ideal for implementing ILM

68. Heat Map, Automatic Data
Optimization and ILM
Enabling Heat Map
SQL> alter system set heat_map = on;

69. Heat Map, Automatic Data
Optimization and ILM
Heat Map statistics can be viewed graphically
through EM Cloud Control:

70. Heat Map, Automatic Data
Optimization and ILM
Creating ADO policies
Compress the tablespace USER_DATA and all its residing
segments at OLTP level after 30 days of low access:
ALTER TABLESPACE USER_DATA ILM ADD POLICY
ROW STORE COMPRESS ADVANCED
SEGMENT AFTER 30 DAYS OF LOW ACCESS;

71. Heat Map, Automatic Data
Optimization and ILM
Creating ADO policies
Compress the table ORDER_ITEMS including any
SecureFile LOBs at OLTP level after 90 days of no
modification:
ALTER TABLE ORDER_ITEMS ILM ADD POLICY
ROW STORE COMPRESS ADVANCED
GROUP AFTER 90 DAYS OF NO MODIFICATION;

72. DDL LOGGING

73. DDL LOGGING
/u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/orcl/orcl/log/ddl/log.xml

74. Direct SQL statement execution in
RMAN
Pre - 12c:
RMAN> SQL ‘SELECT sysdate FROM dual’;
12c:
RMAN> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;

75. Session private statistics for Global
Temporary Tables
Pre 12c, statistics gathered for global temporary
tables (GTTs) were common to all sessions.

76. Session private statistics for Global
Temporary Tables
On 12c, by default session-private statistics are
enabled
SELECT DBMS_STATS.get_prefs('GLOBAL_TEMP_TABLE_STATS')
FROM dual;
STATS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SESSION

77. Session private statistics for Global
Temporary Tables
How to change?
Behavior pre 12c:
BEGIN
DBMS_STATS.set_global_prefs (
pname => 'GLOBAL_TEMP_TABLE_STATS',
pvalue => 'SHARED');
END;
/
Back to default on 12c:
BEGIN
DBMS_STATS.set_global_prefs (
pname => 'GLOBAL_TEMP_TABLE_STATS',
pvalue => 'SESSION');
END;
/

78. Session private statistics for Global
Temporary Tables
How to change for one table?
BEGIN
dbms_stats.set_table_prefs('SCOTT','GTT_TEST',
'GLOBAL_TEMP_TABLE_STATS','SHARED');
END;
BEGIN
dbms_stats.set_table_prefs('SCOTT','GTT_TEST',
'GLOBAL_TEMP_TABLE_STATS’,’SESSION');
END;

79. DEMO

80. Temporary Undo
Global Temporary Tables (GTT) hold the data in a
temporary tablespace. The data in GTTs are either
deleted after commit or kept until the session is
connected depending of the definition of the
GTT.(ON COMMIT PRESERVE OR DELETE ROWS ).
DMLs in a Global Temporary Tables do not generate
REDO, but generate UNDO and this will result in
REDO generating.

81. Temporary Undo
alter session set temp_undo_enabled=true;
**you can change for the session or for the database.

82. DEMO

83. Identity Columns
CREATE TABLE tabela_teste (
id NUMBER GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY,
coluna1 VARCHAR2(30)
);

84. Identity Columns
CREATE TABLE tabela_teste (
id NUMBER GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY,
coluna1 VARCHAR2(30)
);

85. Identity Columns
CREATE TABLE tabela_teste (
id NUMBER GENERATED BY DEFAULT ON NULL AS
IDENTITY,
coluna1 VARCHAR2(30)
);

93. PL/SQL From SQL
with
function Is_Number
(x in varchar2) return varchar2 is
Plsql_Num_Error exception;
pragma exception_init(Plsql_Num_Error, -06502);
begin
if (To_Number(x) is NOT null) then
return 'Y';
else
return '';
end if;
exception
when Plsql_Num_Error then
return 'N';
end Is_Number;
select rownum, x, is_number(x) is_num from t;

94. Session Level Sequences
Session level sequences are used to produce
unique values in a session. Once the session
ends, the sequence is reset.
Generating Primary Keys for a Global Temporary
Table would be a field where those kinds of
sequences could be used.

95. Session Level Sequences
CREATE SEQUENCE sequence_test
START WITH 1
INCREMENT BY 1
SESSION
/

96. Session Level Sequences
ALTER SEQUENCE sequence_test
SESSION;
ALTER SEQUENCE sequence_test
GLOBAL;
