How to create Oracle Autonomous Database in OCI

What is autonomous database:-  An Oracle Autonomous Database is a cloud-based technology designed to automate many of the routine tasks required to manage Oracle databases which is mostly done by DBA's. It uses machine learning to automate database performance tuning, backups, securing database , patching etc.

Types of autonomous database based on workload :-


  •  Autonomous transaction processing
  •   Autonomous data warehouse
  •   Autonomous Json Database

To create Autonomous database, first login to Oracle cloud (www.oracle.com/cloud

Oracle Autonomous Database Schema Advisor

 Oracle Autonomous Database Schema Advisor

The ADB Schema Advisor is a light-weight utility that analyzes your on-premise or cloud Oracle Database schemas for the suitability of migration to the Oracle Autonomous Database. The Advisor discovers the schema objects and performs deep analysis to highlight the differences when the object gets created on Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse or Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing database, including the reasons when the object cannot be created.

 

The Advisor will run on pre-existing Schema and generates a report that highlights:

  •  The counts of discovered objects and a summary of migration status.
  •  Objects that cannot be migrated to the Autonomous Database due to the restrictions or lockdowns imposed on certain data types, Oracle Database options and SQL.
  • The Objects that will migrate with modifications automatically done during the import or the object creation process
  • Informational section containing certain best practice recommendations and guidance

 

Installation of Advisor:-

The autonomous database schema advisor can be installed from 11.2.0.4 onwards and it doesn’t require any additional license to use.

Download:-

We can download the advisor package from following  MOS Note 2462677.1

Installation Steps:

Initiate the ADB Advisor installation by invoking the following script as sys user.

sqlplus SYS AS SYSDBA @install_adb_advisor.sql <advisor schema name> <password>

If the advisor schema is not procreated , the above script will create it.

Once above script runs successfully, run the advisor to generate report.

 

SQL> conn adbadvisor

Enter password:

Connected.

 

Generate the Advisor report by executing ADB_ADVISOR package:

SQL>EXEC ADB_ADVISOR.REPORT(schemas=<List of schemas>'', adb_type=<adb_type>'');

Now here, list of schemas denotes the name of schemas on which you would like to run the analyse.

Enter “ALL” to analyse all user schemas.

Adb_type denotes different types destination such as

  •  'ATP' for Autonomous Transaction Processing (Serverless)
  •  'ADW' for Autonomous Data Warehouse (Serverless)
  •  'ATPD' for Autonomous Transaction Processing (Dedicated)
  •  'ADWD' for Autonomous Data Warehouse (Dedicated)


The report has 4 sections (see Sample Report for ATP):

  •  Section 1: Summary Section with object counts
  •  Section 2: List of objects that will not migrate to ADB
  •  Section 3: List of objects that will migrate with changes
  •  Section 4: Informational section and migration guidelines

 

Here we would migrate into ADW

SQL>EXEC ADB_ADVISOR.REPORT(schemas => ‘ALL', adb_type => 'ADW');

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

1) Tables and Partitions will be Compressed to QUERY HIGH in ADW (Count=28):

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: When migrating to ADW, if a table or partition DDL does not contain a COMPRESSION clause, it will

be created with a default compression of QUERY HIGH. To modify this behavior, either add a compression

clause of your choice (or even NOCOMPRESS) prior to the export or alter the compression clause after

the import.

2) User defined tablespaces are not allowed in ATP-S and ADW-S (Serverless) (Count=2):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: Creation of tablespaces is disallowed in ATP and ADW (Serverless). The tablespace clause gets ignored

and all objects get created in 'DATA' tablespace. The following is the list of schemas and the tablespaces

currently in use.

3) Table columns are defined using BYTE length semantics in a single-byte (8-bit) Character Set (Count=176):

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: If you have columns defined using BYTE length semantics, data truncation may occur when migrating

a single byte Character Set to a multi byte Character Set, as in the Autonomous Database. Refer to "Character

Set Migration" section of Database Globalization Support Guide for more

 

details, and run the below SQL

to get the list of columns defined using BYTE length semantics.

 

[Use the following SQL to get the full list of columns ...]

[SELECT a.owner, a.object_type, a.object_name table_name, a.subobject_name column_name, b.short_desc, b.long_desc FROM adb_advisor_info_tmp a, db_advisor_codes_tmp b WHERE a.cd = b.cd AND a.cd = 304]

 

4) Schema Owner's user attributes will be modified in ADB (Count=2):

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: The following schema owner's DEFAULT TABLESPACE and/or DEFAULT PROFILE will be modified in ADB.

 

DEFAULT TABLESPACE for APEXDEMO will be modified from 'APEX_2300472439289881' to

DEFAULT TABLESPACE for SCOTT will be modified from 'USERS' to 'DATA'

5) Database Options currently in use but will not be available in the ADB (Count=1):

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: The following Database Options are detected as being used. ADB does not have these Options installed.

Please verify if the application/schema to be migrated depends on these options.

6) Database Parameters are detected as modified in the current database but can't be modified in the ADB (Count=4):

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: The following init parameters are modified in your database that you would not be able to modify

in ADB. Please refer to the Oracle Autonomous Database documentation on the parameters that you are

allowed to modify.
