(1-3 of 3)Oracle database version with wonderful features and user friendly which helps to overcome limitations of older versions
1) OEM 12C ,using which I can monitor heterogeneous databases along with Oracle databases, host monitoring, creation of groups, One link for OEM administration whereas in older versions we used to have one OEM link per server and it is really difficult to manage OEM links in huge database server enviornment. 2) Multitenant database 3) Recover table using Rman 4) Full database caching. 5) In 12C we can move data files online. Whereas in prior database versions we had to offline of shutdown the database in order to move data files depending on type of tablespace. 6) Single node RAC, Flex ASM, Flex cluster and many more features.
I had great experience working on Oracle 12C and I highly recommend using 12C as it helps you to secure your database in many ways and gives you wonderful features hence allows easy administration.
- OEM 12C allows cloud monitoring. We can install OEM on one server and monitor all my databases (11G R2 and above) hence I need to manage just one link. It also allows heterogeneous database monitoring, host monitoring, out offline patching.
- We do not have an option to recover tables from Rman backup prior to 12C hence we had to be only depending on logical backups.
- But using 12C database we can recover tables as well.
- When we look for availability RAC comes to our mind and Oracle Database 12C came up with new features related to ASM and RAC like Flex cluster and Flex ASM using which if at all ASM instance goes down in a RAC node it can make use of asm that is running in other node hence ensuring availability. In Flex cluster we need to have Flex asm and the leaf nodes. There will be no database/ASM instances running in leaf nodes but only the application servers. The incoming connection come to leaf node and then to the actual hub server. Leaf nodes reduce the cost as there is no need for internode communication between leaf nodes. The internode connection should be there within hub nodes.
- I don't see any such disadvantages but the multitenant structure seems bit complicated and same should be presented in simpler manner
- Oracle Database 12C had just positive impact on our overall business objectives as we could make full use of Flex cluster, Flex ASM and it saved our transactions during node failure.
- We have installed OEM 12C in one server using which we monitor Oracle 11g, 12C databases and we monitor hosts and goldengate which has eased the server administration
- We used flex asm feature of Oracle 12c which helped us to achive high availability
- We recovered table using Rman as there was a table dropped in production
- We created CDB and PDB's for all databases which simplifies administration of databases
- We have been able to recover tables using rman backup which was not available in prior versions
- We have enabled full db caching which gives good performance
- We create multiple indexes on columns which is very helpful in achieving good performance
- We are still in process of upgrading some of our databases from 11g to 12C and once we are done with all upgradation, we will be able to include all our databases under multitenant architecture
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Implemented in-house
- We did not face any such issues and it was smooth installation. The up gradation from 11G to 12C also was smooth as 12C provides parallel option to upgrade which makes the medatadata upgrade faster
2)I face issue in oracle 12C flex cluster
3)I face issue in oracle 12C flex asm
4)We faced performance issues and we took help from ORACLE-SUPPORT
5)We took help in goldengate implementation between heterogeneous enviornments
- Implementing Flex cluster and flex asm is quite challenging
- Easy to monitor databases using OEM 12C and performing out off line patching reduces downtime while patching
- I don't see many things in this category but CDB /PDM administration could be challenging
- The Oracle optimizer is getting smarter in every Oracle release. In 12c, the adaptive query optimization features helped a lot to improve query performance.
- In 12c, we can restore a single table from RMAN backups - it's a very useful and time-saving feature when we need to recover a particular software module.
- I see the scope of improving the optimizer capabilities to automatically handle run-away queries better, meaning, if a SQL suddenly comes up with a bad execution plan, the database needs to be able to handle it smoothly, rather than affecting other SQL.
- Oracle database 12c is very stable, it reduced a lot of downtime for us, thus we have a greater ROI.
- It is the main production Transactional Database for web-based applications
- It is the underlying Data Warehouse Database for Business Intelligence applications
- It helps us to scale the software product and services at ease with a lower operational and management cost
- We did not have to do any tweak to use 12c databases, all the features behaving according to the expectations. We are taking advantages of advanced compressions which reduced our storage usage about 40% and with greater performance.
- We are looking forward to using multitenant features of 12c which will help us consolidates many databases altogether and will reduce overall cost drastically.

2. Implement and test in development environments
3. Implement and test in beta environments
4. Implement in a secondary site in production with zero downtime
5. Implement in primary site in production
6. Go Live during a weekend when there is considerably low usage and monitor closely
- We hit a problem during the upgrade process, the halfway through the upgrade caused error, then it was resolved with the help of Oracle Support.
- The online database management and maintenance tasks
- The SQL Plan stability and query performance
- The overall database management, problem diagnosis and tuning
- Nothing mentionable. However, sometimes we hit by a bug, which needed Oracle Support intervention to get resolved.

- high performance
- mature and reliable
- rich in features
- can be expensive
- big footprint
