Oracle Database 11.1 New Features : Summary
Applies to:
Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 11.1.0.6 to 11.1.0.6
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Purpose
The purpose of this note is to provide summary of Top Oracle Database version 11.1 new features
to be enabled by default with the Oracle Database 11g beta secure configuration. Notable
performance improvements are planned to be introduced to reduce the performance
degradation typically associated with auditing.
# Case sensitive password :
Passwords are expected to also become case sensitive This and other changes should result
in better protection against password guessing scenarios. For
example, in addition to limiting the number of failed login attempts to 10 (default
configuration in 10gR2), Oracle 11g betas planned default settings should expire
passwords every 180 days, and limit to seven the number of times a user can login with an
expired password before disabling access.
# Faster DML triggers : Create a disabled trigger; specify trigger firing order
# Fine grained access control for Utl_TCP:
in 10g all port are available, now it is controlled.
# Data Guard supports "Flashback Standby"
# New Trigger features
# Partitioning by logical object and automated partition creation.
# LOB's - New high-performance LOB features.
# New Oracle11g Advisors
# Enhanced Read only tables
# Table trigger firing order
# Enhanced Index rebuild online : - Online index build with NO pause to DML.
# No recompilation of dependent objects:- When
A) Columns added to tables
B) Procedures added to packages
# Improved optimizer statistics collection speed
# Online index build with NO pause to DML
# Read only table :alter table t read only
alter table t read write
Oracle 11g Database SQL/PL-SQL New Features
---------------------------------------------> Fine Grained Dependency Tracking:
In 11g we track dependencies at the level of element within unit. so that these changes have
no consequence
Transparent performance improvement
Unnecessary recompilation certainly consumes CPU
create table t(a number)
create view v as select a from t
alter table t add(Unheard_Of number)
select status from User_Objectswhere Object_Name = 'V'
- ----VALID
No recompilation of dependent objects when Columns added to tables OR Procedures
added to packages
> Named and Mixed Notation from SQL:
select fun(P4=>10) from DUAL
In 10g not possible to call function in select statment by passing 4th parameter,
but in 11g it is possible
> PL/SQL "continue" keyword - It is same as we read in c/c++ loop
> Support for super: It is same "super" in Java.
> Powerfull Regular Expression:
Now we can access data between TAGS like data between tags <BOOK> .........</BOOK>
The new built-in REGEXP_COUNT returns the number of times the pattern is matched in the
input string.
> New table Data Type "simple_integer"
> SQL Performance Analyzer(SPA) :
It is same as Database replay except it not capture all transaction.The SQL Performance
Analyzer (SPA) leverages existing Oracle Database 10g SQL tuning components. The SPA
provides the ability to capture a specific SQL workload in a SQL Tuning Set, take a
performance baseline before a major database or system change, make the desired change
to the system, and then replay the SQL workload against the modified database or
configuration. The before and after performance of the SQL workload can then be compared
with just a few clicks of the mouse. The DBA only needs to isolate any SQL statements that
are now performing poorly and tune them via the SQL Tuning Advisor
> Caching The Results with /*+ result_cache */ :
select /*+ result_cache */ * from my_table, New for Oracle 11g, the result_cache hint caches
the result set of a select statement. This is similar to alter table table_name cache,but as you
can adding predicates makes /*+ result_cache */ considerably more powerful by caching a
subset of larger tables and common queries.
select /*+ result_cache */ col1, col2, col3 from my_table where colA = :B1
> The compound trigger :
A compound trigger lets you implement actions for each of the table DML timing points in a
single trigger
> PL/SQL unit source can exceeds 32k characters
> Easier to execute table DDL operations online:
Option to wait for active DML operations instead of aborting
> Fast add column with default value:
Does not need to updateall rows to default value.
Oracle 11g Database Backup & Recovery New Features
-----------------------------------------------* Enhanced configuration of archive deletion policies Archive can be deleted , if it is not
need DG , Streams Flashback etc When you CONFIGURE an archived log deletion policy
applies to all archiving destinations, including the flash recovery area. BACKUP ... DELETE
INPUT and DELETE... ARCHIVELOG use this configuration, as does the flash recovery area.
When we back up the recovery area, RMAN can fail over to other archived redo log
destinations if the flash recovery area is inaccessible.
* Configuring backup compression:
In 11g can use CONFIGURE command to choose between the BZIP2 and ZLIB compression
algorithms for RMAN backups.
* Active Database Duplication:
Now DUPLICATE command is network aware i.e.we can create a duplicate or standby
database over the network without taking backup or using old backup.
* Parallel backup and restore for very large files:
RMAN Backups of large data files now use multiple parallel server processes to efficiently
distribute theworkload for each file. This features improves the performance of backups.
* Improved block media recovery performance:
RECOVER command can recover individual data blocks.
RMAN take older, uncorrupted blocks from flashback and the RMAN can use these blocks,
thereby speeding up block media recovery.
* Fast incremental backups on physical standby database:
11g has included new feature of enable block change tracking on a physical standby
database (ALTER DATABASE ENABLE/DISABLE BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING SQL statement).
This new 11g feature enables faster incremental backups on a physical standby database
than in previous releases.because RMAN identifywe the changed blocks sincethe last
incremental backup.
Rolling upgrade is the ability of clustered software to function when one or more of
the nodes in the cluster are at different software versions. The various versions of the
software can still communicate with each other and provide a single system image.
The rolling upgrade capability will be available when upgrading from Oracle
Database 11g Release 1 (11.1).
This feature allows independent nodes of an ASM cluster to be migrated or patched
without affecting the availability of the database. Rolling upgrade provides higher
uptime and graceful migration to new releases.
ASM Scalability and Performance Enhancements
This feature increases the maximum data file size that Oracle can support to 128 TB.
ASM supports file sizes greater than 128 TB in any redundancy mode. This provides
near unlimited capacity for future growth. The ASM file size limits are:
External redundancy - 140 PB
Normal redundancy - 42 PB
High redundancy - 15 PB
Customers can also increase the allocation unit size for a disk group in powers of 2 up
to 64 MB.
Convert Single-Instance ASM to Clustered ASM
This feature provides support within Enterprise Manager to convert a non-clustered
ASM database to a clustered ASM database by implicitly configuring ASM on all
nodes. It also extends the single-instance to Oracle RAC conversion utility to support
standby databases.
Simplifying the conversion makes it easier for customers to migrate their databases
and achieve the benefits of scalability and high availability provided by Oracle RAC.
New SYSASM Privilege for ASM Administration
This feature introduces the new SYSASM privilege to allow for separation of database
management and storage management responsibilities.
The SYSASM privilege allows an administrator to manage the disk groups that can be
shared by multiple databases. The SYSASM privilege provides a clear separation of
duties from the SYSDBA privilege.
