Create Oracle Data Guard Standby with DBCA

That’s especially interesting if you have automation at work, and are not keen on configuring stuff all over the place. This is available in version 19c upwards. DBCA uses RMAN DUPLICATE FOR STANDBY with an auxiliary […]
Very cool interview with Maria Colgan
Community work can be so much fun. When working for the German Oracle User Group, DOAG, one of my favourite jobs is interviewing interesting people for doag.tv. In fall 2019, we recorded a fun interview with Maria Colgan, Master Product Manager for the Oracle Database. I had the chance to prepare the story: Based on […]
Oracle PGA Analysis Query
Sometimes, something in an Oracle Database starts eating PGA, and there is need to find out which process, and where the memory is left, and what or who is responsible for allocating / using / holding it. For a recent issue, I wrote the SQL below. It gives back one line for each Category (SQL, […]

Oracle dbms_workload_repository awr_global_report_text fails with ORA-06553 PLS-307
My last post was about generating AWR reports from SQL – not a very complicated case. “But” – little word, big meaning. And suddenly we get a strange error message. In my example, I was especially interested in a Real Application Cluster’s “global” report. The subprogram call for that purpose is dbms_workload_repository.awr_global_report_text(), accepting the DBID, begin […]

DOAG Noon2Noon Event Nürnberg / MySQL vs. Oracle – Review
It was time to try something new in our DOAG Database Community. And please, please just not another frontal conference: twenty guys look forward, one looks back, like eight-oars-and-coxswain. I don’t know if DOAG invented it, but it was a success: The Noon2Noon Event. How does it work? It’s like 24 hours of BarCamp, starting with […]
Oracle 12c Multitenant: impdp fails w/ ORA-31625 and ORA-01031 because of Database Vault
Things are different in Oracle Database 12c with multitenancy option. My most recent example: I tried to import a schema (new name “NEWSCHEMA”) with datapump IMPDP and REMAP_SCHEMA into the same pluggable database it has been exported from with EXPDP immediately before (name “OLDSCHEMA”), running as SYSTEM. I’m doing things like that with DBA permissions, since […]
