11gR2ps1 [11.2.0.2]
Features
Oracle Database & Tools

7. On Demand Segment Creation
• New segments for tables, indexes, LOB columns
created only when row added to segment.
• Partitioned tables & indexes added to this
feature in PS1.
• Improves space usage as well as large
application install time.
• DEFERRED_SEGMENT_CREATION parameter
controls this behavior.
• New column SEGMENT_CREATED in
DBA_TABLES, DBA_INDEXES.
11gR2

8. Remove & Add Empty Segments
• DBMS_SPACE_ADMIN package includes
programs to manage empty segments.
– DROP_EMPTY_SEGMENTS
– MATERIALIZE_DEFERRED_SEGMENTS
• Three arguments – schema name, table name
and partition name.
EXEC SYS.dbms_space_admin.drop_empty_segments
(schema_name=>'BTHOMAS', table_name=>'ODSEG_T1');
11gR2

9. Drop Segment in TRUNCATE
select segment_name, bytes
from user_segments
• By default, Oracle where segment_name like 'ODSEG%'
Database deallocates all or segment_name in
(select segment_name
space used except that from user_lobs);

• In Oracle Database 11g truncate table odseg_t1 drop all storage;
Table truncated.
Release 2 (11.2.0.2), you select segment_name, bytes
can use TRUNCATE with from user_segments
where segment_name like 'ODSEG%'
the DROP ALL or segment_name in
STORAGE option to drop (select segment_name
from user_lobs );

tion does not have any select segment_name
impact on this behavior. from dba_segments
where segment_name = 'XX_T1_I1';
no rows selected
11gR2

11. Change DB Link Password
• The ALTER DATABASE LINK statement can
change user password in the database link.
• ALTER DATABASE LINK privilege needed to
modify database links.
• Private, PUBLIC and SHARED database link
passwords can be changed.
create database link myownlink
connect to bthomas identified by justapwd
using 'CECORDEV';
alter database link myownlink
11gR2
connect to bthomas identified by mynewpwd1;

12. Concurrent Statistics Gather
• Oracle11gR2 11.2.0.2 includes a new global
preference setting for Optimizer statistics
gathering.
• The concurrent statistics gathering enables
Oracle to gather statistics on multiple tables and
table partitions concurrently.
• The Job Scheduler will decide how many of
these jobs will need to be run concurrently.
exec DBMS_STATS.SET_GLOBAL_PREFS
('CONCURRENT','TRUE'); 11gR2ps1

13. Audit Trail Management
• DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT package to manage DB
and OS audit trail records.
• API to move audit tables to another tablespace.
• AUDIT_TRAIL_AUD_STD constant for AUD$
table, AUDIT_TRAIL_FGA_STD for FGA_LOG$
table, AUDIT_TRAIL_DB_STD for both.
SQL>
execute DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT.SET_AUDIT_TRAIL_LOCATION( -
> AUDIT_TRAIL_TYPE =>
DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT.AUDIT_TRAIL_AUD_STD, -
> AUDIT_TRAIL_LOCATION_VALUE => 'SYSAUX');
11gR2

14. Audit Trail Cleanup
• Initialize the audit cleanup infrastructure using
INIT_CLEANUP
• Optionally set the archive timestamp using
SET_LAST_ARCHIVE_TIMESTAMP. By default
records older than this timestamp are deleted
when purge job is invoked.
• Purge the records using CLEAN_AUDIT_TRAIL.
• Setup a job to clean records periodically using
CREATE_PURGE_JOB.
11gR2

15. Audit Trail Cleanup – Contd.
• Initialize
dbms_audit_mgmt.init_cleanup(
audit_trail_type =>
dbms_audit_mgmt.audit_trail_aud_std,
default_cleanup_interval => 24 /* 1 day */ );
• Set Archive Timestamp
dbms_audit_mgmt.set_last_archive_timestamp(
audit_trail_type =>
dbms_audit_mgmt.audit_trail_aud_std,
last_archive_time => systimestamp-60);
• Manual Purge
dbms_audit_mgmt.clean_audit_trail(
audit_trail_type =>
dbms_audit_mgmt.audit_trail_aud_std, 11gR2
use_last_arch_timestamp => true);

16. Audit Trail Cleanup – Contd.
• Create purge job
dbms_audit_mgmt.create_purge_job(
audit_trail_type =>
dbms_audit_mgmt.audit_trail_aud_std,
audit_trail_purge_interval => 24 /* 1 day */ ,
audit_trail_purge_name => 'PURGE_DB_AUDIT_RECORDS',
use_last_arch_timestamp => true);
• Views
– DBA_AUDIT_MGMT_CONFIG_PARAMS: Shows current parameters
values.
– DBA_AUDIT_MGMT_LAST_ARCH_TS: Shows last archive timestamp
set for audit trail purges.
– DBA_AUDIT_MGMT_CLEANUP_JOBS: Shows current cleanup jobs.
– DBA_AUDIT_MGMT_CLEAN_EVENTS: Show history of purge events,
DBA needs to manually purge records from this view, if it grows too
large. 11gR2

18. External Table Preprocessing
• The preprocessor program converts the data to a record
format supported by the ORACLE_LOADER access
driver and then writes the converted record data to
standard output (stdout), which the access driver reads
as input.
• Very useful in situations like if the input file is
compressed format
• New EXECUTE Privilege for Directory Objects.
• Preprocess commands execute every time table is read.
• DEFAULT DIRECTORY specifies the directory location
of the data file. PREPROCESSOR specifies the
executable directory and the name of the executable.
11gR2

19. External Table Preprocessing – Contd.

21. DataPump Legacy Mode
• If you are still using the legacy “exp” and “imp”
commands and comfortable with them, in 11gR2 data
pump recognizes the legacy parameters.
• The output file is written to default DATA_PUMP_DIR
location, not to the current directory.
• Can create a non-existent user during import.
expdp file=bthomas.dmp log=bthomas.log
owner=bthomas rows=n
impdp file=bthomas.dmp log=bthomas_imp.log
fromuser=bthomas touser=bthomas_dump
11gR2

22. Scheduler: File Watcher
• Start a job based on file arrival.
• File watcher is a scheduler object that defines its
location and other properties.
• By default file watcher checks for arrival of a file
every 10 minutes.
• DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_FILE_WATCHER
procedure is used to create file watcher.
• dba_scheduler_file_watchers view lists all active
file watchers.
11gR2

23. Scheduler: Email Alerts
• Scheduler can send emails based on job events.
• ADD_JOB_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION procedure.
• DBA_SCHEDULER_NOTIFICATIONS view.
job_all_events job_over_max_dur
job_broken job_run_completed
job_chain_stalled job_sch_lim_reached
job_completed job_started
job_disabled job_stopped
job_failed job_succeeded
11gR2

24. SQL*Plus Exit Commit
• Prior to Oracle11gR2, the default behavior on
EXIT from SQL*Plus is COMMIT and exit.
• In 11gR2, you can define the behavior. The
default behavior is COMMIT on EXIT, which can
be made to ROLLBACK on EXIT using
SET EXITCOMMIT OFF

37. Alert log, Trace file Location
• Automatic Diagnostic Repository (ADR) keeps all the log
and trace files.
• DIAGNOSTIC_DEST parameter replaces
BACKGROUND_DUMP_DEST, USER_DUMP_DEST
and CORE_DUMP_DEST parameters.
• DIAGNOSTIC_DEST defaults to ORACLE_BASE if set,
else ORACLE_HOME/log.
• Alert log is under
DIAGNOSTIC_DEST/diag/rdbms/database/instance/trac
e. The XML version is under ../alert.
11gR1

38. Passwords are Case Sensitive
• New users created in Oracle11g have case sensitive
password.
• When upgrading from pre-11 release, case sensitivity
takes effect when you change password.
• PASSWORD_VERSIONS and PASSWORD columns in
DBA_USERS.
• Disable case sensitivity by setting
SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON to FALSE.
• ORAPWD has a new parameter – IGNORECASE.
• For database links, the account in Oracle11g should
have password in uppercase when linking from pre-11g
database.
11gR1

39. Changes to DEFAULT Profile
• PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME is 180
• PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME is 1
• PASSWORD_GRACE_TIME is 7
• FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS is 10
• ?/rdbms/admin/utlpwdmg.sql creates
VERIFY_FUNCTION_11G, with enhanced
password complexity checking.
• $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/secconf.sql
changes DEFAULT profile, and enables default
auditing. 11gR1

40. Default Auditing
• AUDIT_TRAIL parameter is set to DB
• ALTER SYTEM, ALTER USER, ALTER
DATABASE, ALTER PROFILE actions are
audited.
• CREATE USER, DROP USER, DROP PROFILE
actions are audited.
• Logins are audited (CREATE SESSION).
• Most “ANY” privilege actions are audited.
• Delete on AUD$ is audited and such records
cannot be deleted.

41. Read-Only Table
• New ALTER TABLE clause to make a table read-only.
• If you try to perform insert or update or delete on read-
only table, you get an ORA-12081 error.
• Flashback, Truncate not allowed.
• Drop table, drop indexes, drop constraints allowed.
ALTER TABLE <table_name> READ ONLY;
ALTER TABLE <table_name> READ WRITE;
select owner, table_name, tablespace_name
from dba_tables
where read_only = 'YES';
11gR1

42. Tablespace for Temporary Tables
• In pre-Oracle11g releases, the global temporary
table segments where created in the user’s
default temporary tablespace.
• In Oracle11g, you can specify a tablespace for
global temporary tablespace segments.
create global temporary table customer_stage (
cust_name number (10),
col1 varchar2 (40),
col2 varchar2 (60))
on commit preserve rows
tablespace temp; 11gR1

43. Invisible Indexes
• If you want to test the implications of creating an
index without affecting the application, you can
make the index invisible. After testing, you may
drop the index or make it visible.
• To make the optimizer use invisible index, set
the OPTIMIZER_USE_INVISIBLE_INDEXES to
TRUE in the session.
• INVISIBLE/VISIBLE clause is added to CREATE
INDEX and ALTER INDEX statements
11gR1

44. Invisible Indexes – Contd.

include a WAIT clause.
• You can now specify how many seconds you
want the database to wait before returning the
“resource busy” error.
LOCK TABLE <table_name> IN EXCLUSIVE
MODE WAIT 120;
11gR1

48. DDL Logging
• To log all DDL operations in the alert log file, set the
parameter ENABLE_DDL_LOGGING.
• The default value is FALSE, means DDL logging is
disabled.
• Can be changed using ALTER SESSION or ALTER
SYSTEM

default initial allocation is 60% SGA and 40%
PGA.
• New view – V$MEMORY_TARGET_ADVICE.
11gR1

50. Automatic Memory Configuration - Contd
• The V$MEMORY_DYNAMIC_COMPONENTS view
shows the summarized information on all resize
operations and shows the current sizes of all SGA
components.
• If you set the MEMORY_TARGET to a non-zero value,
Oracle will manage memory automatically. The
MEMORY_MAX_TARGET will default to the value of
MEMORY_TARGET.
• If you have also set SGA_TARGET and
PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET parameters, those values
will be considered the minimums.
11gR1

51. Parameter File from Memory
• In pre-Oracle11g releases, we can create pfile
from spfile or spfile from pfile.
• In Oracle11g, we can now create spfile or pfile
from memory
CREATE
PFILE='/u01/oracle/admin/DB1/pfile/initD
B1.ora' FROM MEMORY;
CREATE SPFILE FROM MEMORY;
11gR1
