Database-Specific Topics
There are numerous database-specific
questions to answer before installation:
* What is the number and size of database tablespaces? What is file
placement? How many potential applications? How will extent
management for tablespaces be handled (dictionary or local managed)?
* What are the SGA issues?
* What is the number of users, administrative, developer, and
application?
* What is the number and placement of control files?
* What is the number and placement of redo logs?
* What is the number and placement of rollback segments? Will new
UNDO tablespaces be used?
* Will this database be shared between multiple instances (Oracle
RAC)?
* Will this database be distributed?
* Should the tools be linked single-task or independent (two-task)?
* Do we need to plan for external Oracle-managed files or BFILE
external files?
Let’s examine each of these as they relate to installation of
Oracle.
What Is the Number and Size of Database Tablespaces? What Is File
Placement, the Number of Potential Applications?
Oracle tablespaces
These are disk space and create-script-related issues. The number of
potential applications will drive the number and size of database
tablespaces above and beyond the eight base tablespaces. You will
see that these are:
