Oracle Database, or Oracle RDBMS, is an object-relational database management system.OracleOracle Database Review2019-03-19T18:26:52.770ZAs an Oracle Database administrator, we support more than 35 Oracle production database servers in my client's environment. We have installed Oracle 11g and 12C database versions for this client. We have Oracle RAC/ASM environment which ensures my database is available in case of any disk failure or node failure. We have scheduled RMAN backup on a regular basis which is useful whenever we want to clone dev/uat/ppe environment from a production database.
It is also useful in tablespace point-in-time recovery. We have enabled recycle-bin and flashbacks which are helpful to get the data back in case of accidental data deletion from a table or accidental table drops. We use SQL loader to load data from flat text files or csv files in our databases. LogMiner is being used to mine the redo-log or archive-log files. We have scheduled data-pump backups on a regular basis as they can be used to import objects whenever needed. We use GoldenGate with Oracle Database for data replication as well as between heterogeneous environments. We have a configured data-guard for all our production databases which will be useful for quick switchover activities and fail-over in case of production failure.,Oracle Data Guard is good for all our production databases for quick, switch over activities and failover in case of production failure.,We face delayed support from Oracle support even when we create a high priority ticket. We end up calling an Oracle manager (escalation) and this should be avoided by, at least, providing a quick response.
As Oracle CDC becomes an ancient technology and is hardly used, we face many challenges while working on it in our Oracle Databases.
It is difficult for beginners to adopt Oracle, and it could be made simpler.,10,Using Oracle Database has only had a positive impact on our organization as it helps us to secure clients data in a broader way.,Not a member of any user groups,Webex Meetings, Gitlab, Google Drive and Oracle Enterprise Manager,Oracle Enterprise Manager, Webex Meetings, Google Drive, Gitlab, Google Maps API,50,50,We have a production database failure and we performed Data Guard failover to production.
We used RMAN backup in tablespace point-in-time recovery whenever there was accidental data deletion from tables.
We used the Recycle bin and flashback to recover the lost data in our production data.,We have implemented GoldenGate replication between our Oracle Databases which replaces the Oracle CDC environment. It is applied in real time and has zero downtime.,We are in a process of implementing Oracle 12c in all production database environments.
We have Oracle CDC replications configured between few databases and we have plans to replace those with GoldenGate.,10,No,Price

Product Reputation,I am highly satisfied with the Oracle Database environment.,Implemented in-house,No,Change management was a big part of the implementation and was well-handled,We faced a few minor issues while configuring due to wrong OS level parameters. Other than this, we haven't faced any issue.,10,9,Yes,We faced ORA-600 error in our production environment and since it was an internal error, we created a service request to Oracle. They gave us an immediate solution to apply a patch which resolved the issue.
Oracle Support also helped us track a performance issue that was occurring in our production environment due to an incorrect OS parameter configuration.,Oracle Data Guard switch-over and fail-over are easy to perform.,It is difficult to change standalone databases to a RAC environment.
It is challenging to convert stand-alone databases to multitenant databases.
Oracle GoldenGate replication configuration between heterogeneous environment is very challenging.,10Sukesh NayakOracle - Reliable Enterprise Relationship SQL Database2019-02-12T20:08:37.952ZThe Engineering and Business Intelligence teams use Oracle Database as their primary data store. The Oracle Databases serves as a data warehouse that powers all of our applications. Oracle Database is very reliable and performant. With its many features, it can easily be queried in a SQL client or connected to any application (Java in our case).,Great SQL client that allows for advanced querying.
Extensive support for stored procedures, functions, materialized views, windowing functions, and other useful SQL operations.
Stable. Oracle Database has been around for many years and has a large developer community.,Expensive. There are several free alternatives (Postgres, MySQL).
More difficult to install and setup than other alternatives (ie: MySQL).
Difficult to support and administer (ie: backups).,9,High performing and reliable Database means fewer database problems (we only needed a single DBA).
Oracle certifications are fairly common and can be an easy way to filter and identify quality SQL developers. Saves time in the search process.
Vast amounts of Oracle community forums and blogs provide easy and accessible support for various issues.,Not a member of any user groups,MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Microsoft SQL Server, Infobright, Amazon Relational Database Service, Amazon Redshift and VerticaGabriel SamarooOracle Databases - Extremely Powerful In The Right Hands2019-01-21T20:30:05.826ZOur company is using Oracle databases to support almost all aspects of the business. We use it for our ERP system, Commerce integrations, Marketing, Sales, etc. Since we use many Oracle applications, the Oracle databases go hand in hand as the back end storage mechanism for all the various apps we utilize.,Oracle databases are ideal for maintaining data (insert, update, delete).
The SQL (Structured Query Language) and PL/SQL (Procedural Language / Structured Query Language) languages are very powerful ways to interact with Oracle databases and retrieve data.
The databases have administrator tools that make maintenance of the databases simple.,Some error messages tend to be a bit ambiguous.
Although Oracle is a relational database, they rules are not strictly enforced. I suppose this allows for more flexibility and customization, but it would be nice to have inherent foreign keys, etc.
There have been times where updating the database has resulted in some functionality (i.e. keywords, tuning methods, etc.) to be deprecated which has required my teams to rewrite code.,9,Oracle databases are critical to our business. Using the products allows us to conduct business far more efficiently than without the use of them.
We have endless reporting available to us via Oracle databases. They are essentially a warehouse of data waiting to be used. Whether we write custom queries to pull the data we need or use any of our various Oracle applications (some with built-in reports), we can pull out the data we need to better manage our business.
As with most Oracle products, they come with a usually substantial price tag. But I believe the ROI from Oracle databases more than make up for it.,Not a member of any user groups,Microsoft Access,SQL Developer, Oracle ATG Web Commerce, Oracle eBusiness SuiteVerified UserOracle Database2019-03-14T03:35:33.049ZWe used Oracle EBS as our ERP software. The underlying database is Oracle. Apart from Oracle EBS we also have other legacy ERP systems that use Oracle Database as the underlying database. Oracle database is used across the whole organization.,Oracle DB can handle large amounts of data without any issues. For example, Salesforce processes billions of records every hour in the cloud. Their underlying database is Oracle.
Oracle DB provides industrial-strength support for online backup and recovery.
Another advantage of Oracle DB is its reliability. Oracle DB delivers excellent performance when challenged with demanding tasks. The ACID test, which is an important tool used to ensure the integrity of data stored, was easily passed by the Oracle database.,Oracle database is very expensive. It can cost 9-10x as much as Microsoft SQL Server.
Oracle database is an extremely complex engine. Expert knowledge is required to design a database and architecture.
You need an expert to maintain an Oracle Database. Day to day maintenance itself require a skilled resource.,10,We primarily use an Oracle Database with our ERP software. 65% of our business runs on Oracle EBS.
We also use Oracle Database for the data warehouse. It's extremely useful for reporting in OBIEE.
Overall, the return on investment is pretty good. It's really hard to point out the ROI on Oracle Database specifically. Most often it comes in a package with either the ERP software or reporting/data warehouse software.,North Central Oracle Applications Users Group,,Salesforce Community Cloud, Oracle CPQ Cloud (BigMachines), ServiceMaxVerified UserOracle, the best Relational Database2019-01-10T23:59:36.237ZWe are currently using the Oracle Database as a backend support for the client websites developed at the workplace.

Over time we have not experienced drops or service interruptions due to a bug or other factors that could be attributed to the database engine.
High availability. We have the solution implemented with Oracle RAC of 2 nodes that gives us greater capabilities to provide the service.
Disaster Recovery. We have a protection of the database through the feature included in the Enterprise version. Oracle Data Guard that allows us to have the primary database in the main city and a copy (contingency database) in another department of the country (65 miles away approx.).
Monitoring with the Cloud Control feature, we have an overview of the health of the primary database with RAC and the secondary database with Oracle Data Guard.,In general, we are satisfied with the Oracle database, the only point that we always have problems with is the licensing with virtualization systems other than Oracle Virtual Machine because it does not take as valid the distribution of cores with other virtualization tools.,10,Although the issue of the annual support of the Oracle solution is significant because it is 22% of the total licenses that have been acquired over the years and taking into account that annually increases from 3% to 4% depending on the channel , it's worth it for the stability and security that the information is correctly protected with a robust solution with extensive support and commitment to developing improvements by the manufacturer.

It is used to teach the concepts of database management and access. As a part of this course, all participating students, professors, teaching assistants are required to implement, use, and modify when and as required. Even though it is being used for a strictly academic purpose, most of the important features are utilized and well exercised. At times, these databases are also used to implement major projects. All in all, it does serve the purpose of learning since it is being used in an academic context very well. This includes learning about various database management techniques, implementation schemas, and other PL/SQL features.,Oracle Database has the full features of PL/SQL which means that we can completely unleash the power of stored procedures, triggers and other various complicated database functionalities.
Rollback to previous states is extremely simple.
I believe that the best property of the Oracle Database is that, it can used for simple database storage uses like storing an address book and can also be used for very complicated things like maintaining tax details of a million unique entities. The range of usage is very wide.,The official documentation of Oracle Database is not easy to get used to. There should be a way to convey its use easily to the users.
Adding custom defined permissions for custom defined user types would be a really cool feature which can open up a lot of possibilities.
Improving performance and scalability factors is also a domain to explore for Oracle.,9,As this was used in an academic setting, there is no monetary gain. The gain was in terms of knowledge and I believe that this was perfectly achieved.
One small negative impact is that people who do not have a general idea about databases prior to using the Oracle database do seem to struggle a bit.,Not a member of any user groups,MySQL, SQLite and MongoDB,MySQL, SQLite, Microsoft Accessvenkat nitin panagantiReview of Oracle DB2017-11-20T20:19:30.604ZOracle database was used to fetch data stored in application, to know what data is stored and how it is stored in application. While troubleshooting any issues we encountered, we were using Oracle database for analyzing the data stored. Usually the Database and Application team were having the access to the database.
Instead of verifying the server logs, it was easy to identify the issues by using the database. Also using Oracle database it was easy and convenient to export the results in required format.,Oracle packages have a nice way of bundling functionality like classes. Stored procedures and Functions are well organized.
Oracle database is very user friendly and performance has increased in the version 12c as compared to previous versions.
In Oracle database we can store huge amount of data without any issues and it is one of the best tool for working with relational databases
Backup and recovery process is simplified as compared to earlier versions of Oracle database,Oracle is bit more expensive and difficult to setup initially though later it will be easy to maintain.
While we were upgrading from Oracle database 11g to 12c, few legacy stored procs stopped working.
Though Oracle DB has nice UI, compatible with the application, can manage data easily, but some of the features are not free.,9,Using Oracle DB, retrieving the data was easier. Along with nice UI it was easy for connecting and communicating with the application.
It was easy to handle large amount of data where more data processing is required
The Oracle packages are well organized and can be easily accessible.
Initially during Oracle setup, we observed few hiccups while installing and maintenance. Lot of effort was required.

I developed applications and tools which mined data that was in Oracle Databases. Development test environments which I have previously used were backed by Oracle Databases. As well, I have supported security applications which were also backed by Oracle Databases.,As expected out of an enterprises level database, Oracle DB supports wide availability to application development, through database connection options whether it be by a direct or cloud connection.
Oracle DB can support distributed applications, which provides support to cloud based users and application. As well as large data sets needed in data warehousing which is great for data mining.,Oracle DB may not be the best choice for every application or business. Oracle has a high price point and if you are not taking advantage of the enterprise level features, high users count, or big data - Oracle DB may not be the best choice. To this end, Oracle Database Lite, PostgreSQL or another DB may be a better choice. Personally, I have not heard much of Oracle Database Lite - most people think of Oracle DB as the big player and do not consider it or hear about it for smaller uses.
Oracle Database Lite may be limited to mobile architecture. A slimmed down version of Oracle DB with core DB features to compete in smaller server applications would be greatly desired.,9,The main positive ROI I saw while using Oracle was in data mining. I previously worked at a location where data was collected over years and years but not utilized. This was all stored in an Oracle Database. Once the we started mining that data and writing tools to mine the data - we never had any issue with database performance.,Not a member of any user groupsLouis MarceauOracle RDBMS - Use case and comparative comparison2017-10-26T14:08:41.935ZOracle is being used across the organization. Our product has been built based upon Oracle features. For online transactions, read consistency, performance, recovery and other tools are the key features. Our product is quite complex and quite heavy on processing. We run POC for similar products but those are nowhere near to Oracle like Maria DB, Postgre, SQL server, MySQL etc.,Oracle DB is having quite a lot of interesting features. Read consistent for online transactions with rollback features. Table partitioning, Index partitioning, data caching, backup and recovery, expdp/impdp, V$ views and monitoring , memory management. Very large data support due to table partitioning.
Maintenance - Table Partitioning has many features like switch partitions, Automatic storage management, online index rebuild.
Data guard - Very reliable DR solution with 100% replication, easy to start on DR site. Can be used for read only.
Expdp/Impdp - Quite fast data download/upload to DB. Migrations becomes quite easy and fast.
OEM - DB monitoring
Memory structures - Caching, SGA, PGA, session history and V$ views to check DB health,I would like to see the rename USER feature. That can bring sweeping benefits in many cases.
Unexpected LOAD due to features - If some parallel server parameters are not fixed wisely, the system can overload server/DB and DB will stick.
A lot of parameters, need to reduce and readjust them.,9,Oracle is quite expansive. One needs to plan very carefully their server configuration. License cost is on per CPU/thread basis. For RAC, it is even more expansive.
Use freeware DB like maria DB, Postgre for less critical applications.
ROI depends upon application critical. If application is mission critical, go for ORACLE.,Maria DB and Postgre,Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Oracle GoldenGate, WebSphere Application ServerAshwani GargOracle Database - one size fits all2018-01-08T22:20:04.170ZAs a company focused primarily on marketing we do not have a very large database footprint.
