AIOUG Webcast: RMAN Backup and Recovery

I will be talking on RMAN Recovery Procedures on 13 Oct, 2010 during my AIOUG Webcast. The webcast is scheduled at 05:00 PM IST.

One of the most important responsibilities of a DBA is to ensure that a database can be quickly and completely recovered from any type of failure. The aim of this session is to provide a platform to help DBAs to be able to restore databse under different failure scenarios.

In this session, I will discuss various database failure scenario's followed by a detailed recovery solution providing screenshots.

This presentation should be of a great value to the Novoice & Intermediate DBAs and a good refresher for an Advanced DBA.

See you at the webcast.

This presentation is a short introduction to the two key questions that drive the optimizer which are: How much data do I have to visit How widely scattered is that data We will look at a simple model to demonstrate the way that the optimzer "thinks" when choosing an execution path, and then explain why the optimizer sometimes chooses very silly execution paths.
