Publication number: 20200183792Abstract: Techniques herein make and use a pluggable database archive file (AF). In an embodiment, a source database server of a source container database (SCD) inserts contents into an AF from a source pluggable database (SPD). The contents include data files from the SPD, a listing of the data files, rollback scripts, and a list of patches applied to the SPD. A target database server (TDS) of a target container database (TCD) creates a target pluggable database (TPD) based on the AF. If a patch on the list of patches does not exist in the TCD, the TDS executes the rollback scripts to adjust the TPD. In an embodiment, the TDS receives a request to access a block of a particular data file. The TDS detects, based on the listing of the data files, a position of the block within the AF. The TDS retrieves the block based on the position.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2020Publication date: June 11, 2020Inventors: Prashanth Shanthaveerappa, Giridhar Ravipati, Margaret Susairaj, Kumar Rajamani

Patent number: 10635658Abstract: Techniques are provided for diverting, to cloned metadata, live access to original metadata of an application container that is being concurrently upgraded. In an embodiment, a database server stores, within an application container of an application, original metadata that defines objects for use by pluggable databases of the application. The database server receives a maintenance request to adjust the original metadata. The database server creates, in response to receiving the maintenance request, a reference container that contains cloned metadata that is a copy of the original metadata. The database server receives, during or after creating the reference container, a read request to read one of the objects. The database server concurrently performs both of: executing the maintenance request upon the original metadata, and executing the read request upon the cloned metadata of the reference container.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2016Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Philip Yam, Thomas Baby, Andre Kruglikov, Kumar Rajamani

Patent number: 10635675Abstract: A pluggable database (PDB) that is encoded using a particular character set (differing character set) may be plugged into a container database (CDB) and queried, even when the CDB in which the particular PDB resides is encoded using a different character set. The DBMS records what character set is used to encode the PDB. Any predicate that may prune results from a PDB that is encoded in a differing character set is converted to the differing character set as needed, such that the predicate may be applied within the PDB to prune results. At times, cross-container views will require data from a PDB that is encoded using a differing character set. The data returned from a recursive query over the PDB is converted to being encoded using the character set of the root database of the CDB.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2016Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Sanket Jain, Kumar Rajamani, Jaebock Lee, Giridhar Ravipati

Patent number: 10635674Abstract: Embodiments provide a migration instruction that effectuates the migration of a pluggable database from a source database server instance to a destination database server instance. Upon receiving the migration instruction, the migrating pluggable database is opened at the destination instance. Connections are terminated at the source instance at a rate that is determined based on statistics maintained for one or more of: the migrating pluggable database, the source instance, the destination instance, a container database, etc. Furthermore, once the migration instruction is received, a certain amount of time is provided before the source instance flushes the dirty buffers for the migrating pluggable database from the buffer cache of the source instance. The delay in flushing dirty buffers from buffer cache allows the source instance to provide data blocks, of the migrating pluggable database, directly to the destination database server instance from the cache.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2016Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Sanket Jain, Kumar Rajamani, Jaebock Lee, Nicolas Michael, Yixiao Shen, Giridhar Ravipati

Patent number: 10621176Abstract: A database server instance automatically detects configuration issues when a pluggable database (PDB) is plugged into a new destination container database (CDB). The database server instance identifies one or more update templates, within the destination CDB, that, when run over the relocated PDB, will update the configuration of the PDB to conform to the configuration of the destination CDB. Instead of requiring an administrator to initiate update scripts from a DBMS kernel to reconfigure a PDB, the DBMS creates the update templates by recording commands run within PDBs in connection with system updates. These recorded update templates may then be run over relocated PDBs, to configure the PDBs according to the configuration of the destination CDB. Further, the update templates may be pre-recorded update templates, which record commands to perform configuration updates, to PDBs, that have never before been performed within the CDB.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2016Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Philip Yam, Kumar Rajamani, Jaebock Lee

Patent number: 10572551Abstract: In an approach, memory usage within a database management system is optimized by designating an application root which stores data and metadata for database objects that are common across pluggable databases which support the same application. In addition, the application root can be used to manage access to the pluggable databases by defining common users which are created at the application root, but can be used to access any of the member pluggable databases. Furthermore, different versions of the same application can be supported concurrently by maintaining separate application roots for each version. For instance, when an upgrade is applied to the application root, a clone can be created and the update can be applied to the clone. Then, the member pluggable databases which are to be upgraded can be synchronized to the clone, while leaving other pluggable databases servicing the previous version of the application.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2016Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Andre Kruglikov, Kumar Rajamani, Thomas Baby, Philip Yam

Publication number: 20200026774Abstract: Techniques are provided for using a sparse file to create a hot archive of a pluggable database of a container database. In an embodiment and while a source pluggable database is in service, a source database server creates a clone of the source pluggable database. Also while the source pluggable database is in service, the source database server creates an archive of the source pluggable database that is based on the clone. Eventually, a need arises to consume the archive. A target database server (which may also be the source database server) creates a target pluggable database based on the archive.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2016Publication date: January 23, 2020Inventors: Margaret Susairaj, Giridhar Ravipati, Kumar Rajamani, Yunrui Li, Jaebock Lee, Sanket Jain

Publication number: 20200026609Abstract: Techniques are provided for creating a backup of a source pluggable database (SPD) of a source container database and porting the backup for recovery into a different target container database. In an embodiment, a source database server retrieves metadata that describes backups of the SPD. The source database server inserts, into a unplugged pluggable database of the SPD, the metadata that describes each of the backups. For example, unplugging the SPD may automatically create the unplugged pluggable database. Eventually, the unplugged pluggable database may be plugged into the target container database. A target database server transfers the metadata that describes each of the backups from the unplugged pluggable database and into the target container database. Based on at least one backup and the metadata that describes backups of the SPD, the target database server restores a target pluggable database within the target container database.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2016Publication date: January 23, 2020Inventors: Kumar Rajamani, Muthu Olagappan, Yunrui Li, Giridhar Ravipati, Jing Zheng

Publication number: 20190102411Abstract: Provided herein are data cloud administration techniques that achieve autonomy by using a rules engine that reacts to a database system event by autonomously submitting an asynchronous job to reconfigure a database. In an embodiment, a rules engine receives an event from a DBMS. Based on the event, the rules engine executes a rule to generate a request that indicates configuration details for a database. The rules engine sends the request to a request broker. The request broker dispatches an asynchronous job based on the request. The asynchronous job configures the database based on the configuration details. Thus, databases in a cloud, data grid, or data center may be administered autonomously (without human intervention) base on dynamic conditions that are foreseen and unforeseen.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2018Publication date: April 4, 2019Inventors: Hochak Hung, Kumar Rajamani, Jaebock Lee, Sanket Jain, Giridhar Ravipati, John McHugh, Churn Don Lee, Alexander Chen, Jen-Cheng Huang

Publication number: 20190102384Abstract: Provided herein are workload management techniques that asynchronously configure pluggable databases within a compute cloud. In an embodiment, the compute cloud receives an administrative request that indicates configuration details for a pluggable database. The compute cloud generates a configuration descriptor that specifies an asynchronous job based on the configuration details of the request. The compute cloud accesses hosting metadata to detect at least one of: a) a current container database that already hosts the pluggable database, b) a target container database that will host the pluggable database, or c) a particular computer that hosts at least one of: the current container database, or the target container database. The compute cloud executes the asynchronous job to configure the pluggable database based on at least one of: the hosting metadata, or the configuration descriptor.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2018Publication date: April 4, 2019Inventors: Hochak Hung, Kumar Rajamani, Sanket Jain, Giridhar Ravipati, Jaebock Lee, Alexander Chen, Jen-Cheng Huang

Patent number: 10191671Abstract: Techniques for common users and roles, and commonly-granted privileges and roles are described. In one approach, the DBMS of a container database allows for the creation of common roles and common users that are shared across the container database. Thus, when a common role or a common user is established, the common role or common user is propagated to each database of the container database. In another approach, the DBMS of a container database allows privileges and roles to be granted commonly or locally. When a privilege or role is granted commonly, the privilege applies in each of the databases of a container database. When a privilege or role is granted locally, the privilege applies only in the database to which the grantor of the privilege or role established a connection.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2015Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Andre Kruglikov, Kumar Rajamani, Jaebock Lee, Sanket Jain, Giridhar Ravipati

Publication number: 20180121511Abstract: A refreshable PDB clone is associated with a PDB-specific logical timestamp (LT) service that continuously reflects the LT of the most recent changes that have fully committed within the PDB clone during a refresh operation. Such an LT service is used to perform queries over the changing data in the PDB clone while the PDB clone is undergoing a refresh operation. Furthermore, a PDB-specific LT service can facilitate write operations in a standby CDB, where the standby CDB is a physical standby of a source CDB. Specifically, a standby CDB is configured with a private read-write PDB that does not replicate data from the source CDB. This private PDB may accommodate a write operation required by a query over data in the standby CDB. A PDB-specific LT service provides LTs for such a private PDB where the PDB-specific LT service provides LTs to order changes made within the private PDB.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2016Publication date: May 3, 2018Inventors: Yunrui Li, Kumar Rajamani
