In the earlier post we installed the Oracle version 12.1.0.2 (software only) but still didn’t create a database instance. In this post we will go over an installation procedure of a basic CDB database instance. This will be the first instance on that database server (and I’ll explain later why this is important).
It’s been a few months since 12.1.0.2 came out. Here is a basic guide for installing Oracle 12c (12.1.0.2).
This is a two-part post – in the first part we will install the software and in the next part we’ll go over creating the new database instance.
I was asked by one of my readers about “transparent transition” between the Primary and Standby databases when using a Data Guard environment. The question sounded relatively simple: how do you configure the clients so it will automatically work with the active site at any point in time?
The truth is that the solution is a lot easier than what you might think, and I even got to implement it in on an Oracle 10g database, more than five years.
