Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE:best way to convert into large VLDB oracle while running operationally
So,
Oracle 9i
-Vendor is converting data. Their conversion process used 2Gb of space in archivelogs in one hour. Of course we could turn off archiving but then the redo logs get overwritten.
-Business plans on running operationally in the same database.
-I have concerns about recovering if anything goes wrong or running out of space at a rate of 2GB space in archives/hour.
-3rd party product - not much say in the conversion process itself
-Wish we could run conversion in a separate instance then do some process to move data after it was converted to the operational database - in batch off-hours - yadayada. What about using a database link so we get the correct sequence numbers - the operational database would be using the sequence - the database link for the conversion database.
