  1. Backup The flip side of recovery

  2. Types of Failures • Transaction failure • Transaction must be aborted • System failure • Hardware or software problem resulting in volatile memory loss • Media failure • Disks or tapes • Disasters

  3. Backup Methods • Physical (block by block copy) • Cold • db is shutdown, files are not changing • shutdown instance, backup files (datafiles, control files, parameter files, redo logs & archive logs), start db • Hot • db is open and files are being used • each tablespace is put into “backup” mode in turn and then backed up using RMAN or EBU, then put back online • MUST have archive logging on to use this method

  4. Backup Methods (cont.) • Logical (actually reads data) • Export • Rebuild scripts • Use to re-create the structure of the database • control file create script • alter database backup controlfile to trace noresetlogs; • database create script • roles and users create scripts

  5. So what’s best? • Use a combination of options • If must have point in time recovery, run with archive logging ENABLED • Additional points • mirror control files and redo logs • keep as many archive logs on disk as possible • disk copies of backup files and archive logs should be on their own disk • make backups of control files if db structure changes! • Can stage backups so they go faster (disk to disk to tape) • TEST, TEST, TEST!

  6. Developing a backup strategy... • Points to consider • downtime • backup window • types of failures • power loss, disk, natural disaster, human error? • recovery time • retention time • Basic database setup

  7. You are the DBA... • 24x7 database (or very small backup window) • need fast recovery • need ability to recover db objects • need point in time recovery

  8. More db availability options • 3-way mirror of db • expensive in disk space, but very safe • Hot standby database • copy of db is created, logs from primary db are applied directly to the copy • Replicated database • db is copied through snapshots or through replication rules • if replicated, transactions can occur against both copies of the db - must have conflict resolution in place!

  9. And Recovery... • Determine what kind of recovery is required • instance recovery or process recovery (restart the db) • user error recovery or statement failure recovery (fixing affected transaction only) • media recovery • which files are destroyed? • recover database, tablespace or datafile? • resetlogs? • Before doing recovery, perform precautionary backup • ALWAYS backup after recovery

  10. Disaster recovery planning • Situation and response • Include triggers and contacts • Backup/redundant hardware? • Off site hardware and facilities? • Off site backups?

  11. Security, Roles, and Privileges • Object vs. system (access) privileges • roles • privilege “groupings” • can have other roles granted to them • basic procedure • create user • create role • grant privs to role • grant role to user

  12. Predefined roles • DBA • create, alter, drop anything (user, procedure, table, etc.) • select, insert, update, delete or lock any table or view • force any transaction • execute any package, trigger, procedure • grant any privelege or role, become any user • backup any tablespace/table • audit anything, analyze anything, restrict or kill sessions • Connect • alter session • create database link, sequence, session, synonym, table, view • Resource • create procedure, sequence, table, trigger

  13. PUBLIC • Never grant to PUBLIC with grant or admin option • Not wise to grant anything other than SELECT to PUBLIC • PUBLIC should not own any data object • PUBLIC may own synonyms and views

  14. Finding Privileges and Roles • Dba_users, dba_tab_privs, dba_sys_privs, dba_role_privs • With admin option • sec_obj.sql • sec_priv.sql • sec_role.sql

  15. Profiles • In Oracle 8, can set up profiles to impose resource limits, enforce password policies, lock accounts after failed logins, etc. • sessions_per_user, idle_time, cpu_per_session • failed_login_attempts • password_life_time, password_grace_time, password_verify_function • dba_profiles

  16. Installing and configuring the client • Obtain CD from ATN or SILS library • Install software • Configure tnsnames.ora • Provides all necessary connection information • Is created automatically when use configuration wizard (last step of install) • Can be created manually, if desired

  17. Listener.ora Tnsnames.ora client server

  18. Tnsnames.ora Excerpt from tnsnames.ora [New style (8i)] : INLS = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = pearl.ils.unc.edu)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = INLS.ils.unc.edu) ) ) Excerpt from tnsnames.ora [Old style (8 or earlier)] : ... (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = INLS) ) ...
