To me "reliability" means "won't break". Difficult to get hard data. You might consider changing the name to "availability", which to me covers not just reliability, but all aspects of my application being available to my users. Things like dynamic parameters can be very important because I may be able to avoid a database "bounce" just to change a parameter. We've all been there, done that. Oracle nicely divides Oracle9i features up into those that contribute to a higher availability. Take a look at the following paper under "Availability": http://technet.oracle.com/products/oracle9i/pdf/9idb_rel2_features.pdf The Student Guide for the Oracle9i New Features for Administrators class has a chapter titled "General High Availability Technology".

Just some thoughts for you to consider.

Folks

We are looking to present a Talk on :-

"Reliability" with respect to Oracle 9i DB

How does one even approach this subject ? What Sub-Topics would this envisage other than the following ?

Oracle Architecture of Data Storage
Backup & Recovery Do Standby Databases & Database Replication come under the subject "Reliability" ?

Using our Application Product we have Experience on Hybrid Oracle Databases in :-

High End Database Performance Benchmarks
Regular Database Recoveries from Block Corruptions , Crashes
Keeping Production Databases of sizes upto 1 TB working optimally .

Do you believe we can give a Talk on the Subject "Reliability" ?

The presentation might have in attendance some of the Leading Oracle minds .

Thanks
