8.1.7 connection problems 2005-10-30 - By Stephan Eichenlaub
Paul,
thanks for your advice. Gotta admit that I'm a bit surprised as at least
for 8.1.7 Oracle documentation recommends cold backups whereever
possible. Doing that both as physical backup of the datafiles and as export.
As additional security measure I've set up a standby database that runs
with a time lag and performs daily (scripted) manual recovery from the
archivelogs in the morning before business starts. For 8.1.7 that means
without doing it without rman as rman only learned that feature (time
lag and recovery at a certain time) with Oracle 9.
What I'll do for now is changing the nightly maintenance schedule from
simply time based to time based plus error conditions plus parallelizing
as much as possible to reduce database downtime.
Could you elaborate why you consider cold backups a real pain?
Stephan.
