Database administrators (DBAs) are key customers for the storage team.Unfortunately, storage is often a black hole for database administrators since today’s storage applications fail to provide actionable information for the DBA. SANscreen® from Onaro® offers a heterogeneous,service-centric view of storage that is actionable throughout the IT environment.With the SANscreen Storage Dashboard for Oracle,DBAs can understand the storage services delivered to their database by simply accessing the Oracle Grid Control application – creating a true storage-service dashboard for Oracle.

IT departments that already run an Oracle 10g database with ASM on Windows Server 2003 might want to upgrade their storage array to an LSI Logic storage array. Any proposed upgrade raises the question of interoperability with the existing system. Using a test setup, this document shows that it is possible to successfully install Oracle 10g Clusterware and the Oracle 10g database application with an LSI Logic Fibre Channel storage array.

Types of backup
There are several levels and types of backup:
■ Full backup – usually done daily, weekly, or monthly. Includes both system and data files
■ Incremental backup – backs up only files that have changed since the last full or incremental backup
■ Differential backup – backs up every file that has changed since the last full backup
■ Archiving – when data is stored with the possibility of using it quickly and in random order

The Microsoft SQL Server Storage Solution Review Program is a specific SQL Server program that enables storage solution providers to highlight those storage solutions and configurations, via the SQL Server “Always On” labeling, that they have successfully reviewed against core functional Microsoft SQL Server storage requirements. The core requirements defined herein must be met for reliable, highly available SQL Server storage systems.

Often, additional processing power alone will do little or nothing to improve Oracle performance. This is because the processor, no matter how fast, finds itself constantly waiting on mechanical storage devices for its data. While every other component in the “data chain” moves in terms of computation times and the raw speed of electricity through a circuit, hard drives move mechanically, relying on physical movement around a magnetic platter to access information.

Microsoft SQL Server has a reputation of being one of the easier database platforms to administer and manage. Oddly enough, however, when it comes to understanding what SQL Server is doing underneath the covers with respect to space, SQL Server actually isn’t as straightforward as some of the other database platforms. The ability to easily report database and transaction log space from a global perspective isn’t as simple or thorough as some administrators would like. Also,the sp_spaceused procedure used for object (and database) space doesn’t really tell the whole space picture for an object or database. And make no mistake, diagnosing fragmentation problems in a database requires a fairly skilled hand that knows how to not only interpret a number of different object fragmentation metrics, but also understands the environment and mechanics of the applications that use the database.

MySQL is a popular open source relational database system. We chose it for this project because it is a large, well-known software system, consisting of 1.3 million lines of code.

MySQL was developed in 1995, and is owned by a Swedish company, MYSQL AB. The original developers were trying to use another product, mSQL to interface with their ISAM low level storage engine. Frustrated by the lack of flexibility, they decided to create their own SQL system on top of their storage engine. This project became known as MySQL [1].
Today, the ability to support multiple storage engines is one of MySQL’s distinguishing features.
