Given that we have a database in Amazon RDS and Oracle PaaS we can go through some books from Oracle Press and see if anything breaks running through a book. Let's start with something simple, Oracle Database 12c SQL by Jason Price, published by Oracle Press. This is an introductory book that goes through the basic data types, sql commands, and an introduction of XML at the end of the book. The material should be relatively straightforward and not have any issues or problems...

Yesterday we looked at connecting to DBaaS with the Oracle platform as a service option. We wanted to extend the database table size because we expect to grow the tablespace beyond current storage capacity. We are going to do the same thing today for Amazon RDS running an Oracle Enterprise Edition 12c instance. To start our journey, we need to create a database instance in Amazon. This is done by going to the Amazon AWS Console and click on RDS to launch a database instance....

Historically, what happens to a database months after deployment has always been an issue and problem. If we go out and purchase a computer and disk storage then deploy a database onto the server. If we oversize the hardware and storage, we wasted budget. If we undersize the hardware and storage we had to purchase a new computer or new storage and get an operating system expert to reconfigure everything on the new server and get a database administrator to reconfigure the...

Today we are going to connect to our database using SQL Developer. We could connect using sqlplus with a remote command but instead we are going to use a graphical tool to connect to our database in the cloud. It is important to note that this is the same tool that is used to connect to our on premise database. We can execute sql commands, look at the status of the database, clone pluggable databases from one service to another, and generally manipulate and manage the...

Yesterday we talked about the virtues of Enterprise Manager. To honest the type of monitoring tool is not important but the fact that you have one is. One of the virtues that VMWare touts of VSphere is that you can manage instances on your server as well as instances in VCloud. This is something worthy of playing with. The same tool for your on premise instances also managing your instances in the cloud has power. Unfortunately, VCloud allows you to allocate virtual machines...

Managing servers and instances has been an ongoing issue since the introduction of the first computer. Recently with the advent of virtualization the idea of a management console to control what processors are running what services and what storage is allocated to what operating system has gained popularity. Many people are familiar with VMWare VSphere where you get a view of processors. We get a view of a server and can see virtual images deployed on this server. We can see...

One of the key questions that I get asked on a regular basis is to justify the cost of some product. Why not use freeware? Why not put things together and use free stuff? When I worked at Texas A&M and Rice University we first looked at public domain software. We heavily used the Apache web server, Tomcat, MySQL, Postgress, Linux, and BSD. These applications worked up to a point. Yes, you can spin up one Apache web server on one server. Yes, you can have one Apache web server...

Today we are going to look at managing an Oracle database. We are going to start with a 12c database that we created in the Oracle Public Cloud. We selected database as a service (as opposed to virtual image), monthly billing, 12c, and enterprise edition high performance edition. We accepted the defaults for the table size so that we can figure out how to extend the table size and selected no backups rather than starting RMAN for daily incrementals or cloud object storage for...

Today we are going to look at what it takes to install Oracle Database Enterprise Edition 12c in Microsoft Azure. We had previously looked at deploying Application Express in Azure. The steps to deploy Enterprise Edition are almost the same. We start with the same process by logging into the portal, click on New, search for Oracle and look for the enterprise edition of the database. In this example we are going to select Enterprise Edition 12c.The two links at the bottom link...
