Table Compression Enhancement in Oracle Database 11g R2 - With New Compression Names

By -


Table Compression: Overview
Oracle Database supports three methods of table compression:

•Basic table compression
•OLTP table compression

Oracle Corporation recommends to compress all data to reduce storage costs. The Oracle database can use table compression to eliminate duplicate values in a data block. For tables with highly redundant data, compression saves disk space and reduces memory use in the database buffer cache. Table compression is transparent to database applications.
•The table_compression clause is valid only for heap-organized tables. The COMPRESS keyword enables table compression. The NOCOMPRESS keyword disables table compression. NOCOMPRESS is the default.
•With basic compression, the Oracle database compresses data at the time of performing bulk load using operations such as direct loads or CREATE TABLE AS SELECT.
•With COMPRESS FOR OLTP, the Oracle database compresses data during all DML operations on the table.

Connect to sys using sqlplus in admin command prompt Check whether your database is in archive log mode or not. Run command ARCHIVE LOG LIST. It will show you the following details: It is always preferable to have your database in archive log mode. The reason being if your database is in archive log mode you can recover from all committed changes in the event of an OS or disk failure. This query will display the path of redo log files, their group and their status. It is always recommended to have a minimum of two members in one group. As you can see I have only 1 member in group 6 whose current status is INACTIVE. I intentionally have 1 member to generate a scenario for the sake of this practical. Now go to the specified path where the redo log member of group 6 is located and open it in a notepad. It will show some symbolic data. Delete couple of lines and save it the original location which is the one we got as a result of query. Why did we do the above step i.
