Almacenamiento: Base de Datos II

This document discusses database storage structures and managing storage. It describes how table data is stored in blocks across tablespaces and data files, and how to create, manage, and obtain information about tablespaces. It also summarizes Automatic Storage Management (ASM) and its benefits for managing Oracle database files.

Tablespaces and Data Files
•The Oracle database stores data logically in
tablespaces and physically in data files.
– Tablespaces:
• Can belong to only one database
• Consist of one or more data files
• Are further divided into logical units of storage
– Data files:
• Can belong to only one Database
tablespace and one database Tablespace
• Are a repository for schema
object data
Data files
Space Management in Tablespaces
– Locally managed tablespace:
• Free extents are managed in the tablespace.
• A bitmap is used to record free extents.
• Each bit corresponds to a block or group of blocks.
• The bit value indicates free or used extents.
• Use of locally managed tablespaces is recommended.
– Dictionary-managed tablespace:
• Free extents are managed within the Data Dictionary.
• Appropriate tables are updated when extents are
allocated or unallocated.
• These tablespaces are supported only for backward
compatibility.

Oracle Managed Files (OMF)
•Specify file operations in terms of database objects rather than file
names.

Parameter Description

DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST Defines the location of the default file


system directory for data files and
temporary files
DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_n Defines the location for redo log files
and control file creation

DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST Default location for the flash recovery


area

Example:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST = '/u01/oradata';
SQL> CREATE TABLESPACE tbs_1;
Enlarging the Database
•You can enlarge the database in the following ways:
– Creating a new tablespace
– Adding a data file to an existing tablespace
– Increasing the size of a data file
– Providing for the dynamic growth of a data file

ASM: Key Features and Benefits
– Stripes files but not logical volumes
– Provides online disk reconfiguration and dynamic

– Allows for adjustable rebalancing speed
– Provides redundancy on a per-file basis
– Supports only Oracle database files
– Is cluster aware
– Is automatically installed
