4. 4
AUTONOMOUS ORACLE DATABASE
Scale service
Findings –
1. 18c is not autonomous but with Exadata hardware and secret sauce (sql
tuning/metric corrective actions/storage index) – made 18c to autonomous
managed service.
2. No outage for scaling up/down like Oracle public cloud.
3. It’s a managed service, no ssh for connecting to the database instance-
HERE is AUTONOMOUS. No control for onsite DBA (example - to create
index or partitions)
4. I raised question for Flashback or Recyclebin features to restore – not
available at this stage.
5. Database is pluggable database.
6. In Memory parameter is on.
7. Datafiles are on ACFS (ASM Cloud file system) not ASM disk group.
