11g R2 Upgrade

The time has come.

Responsible organisations looking to adopt low-risk approaches to upgrading essential database infrastructure typically avoid first release product.

Accordingly, the majority of Oracle users in Australia are running the second release of Oracle’s 10g database.  This database has been widely certified by third party application vendors and has proven to be a robust platform.

 

 

11g History

The 11g database was released in 2007 and is now in its second release.  Oracle will be ceasing Premier Support for Oracle 10.2 in July.  The time has come to initiate your plans to move systems from Oracle 10g database to Oracle’s second release of 11g.

Whilst not primary reasons for upgrading, there are some new features in Oracle’s 11g database you should be aware of, such as Real Application Testing, Advanced Compression, faster caching, Oracle Streams (CDC) now runs twice as fast, improved Oracle Optimizer and the introduction of Active Data Guard.  Oracle’s 11g database can also help you lower your storage costs, using features such as ASM for clustered file systems, advanced compression and partitioning.

 

 

11g R2

Oracle 11g R2 is a proven and reliable platform for database and data warehouse environments and has Premier Support through to January of 2015.  This is the sensible release to use to upgrade your Oracle database to 11g.

Oracle has honed technology in Data Guard, RAC (real application clusters), backup compression and database security, including tablespace encryption, for 11g release 2.
