  1. Managing Database Storage Structures

  2. Objectives • After completing this lesson, you should be able to: • Describe the storage of table row data in blocks • Define the purpose of tablespaces and data files • Create and manage tablespaces • Obtain tablespace information • Describe the main concepts and functionality of Automatic Storage Management (ASM)

  3. Database Tablespace Segment Extent Oracle datablock Storage Structures Logical Physical OS file OSblock

  4. How Table Data Is Stored Columns Blocks Table A Table B Rows Segment Segment Table Tablespace Extent Row piece

  5. Database Block: Contents Block header Growth Free space Row data

  6. Database Tablespace Data 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 onetablespace and one database • Are a repository for schema object data

  7. 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 by Oracle. • Appropriate tables are updated when extents are allocated or unallocated. • These tablespaces are supported only for backward compatibility.

  18. Oracle Managed Files (OMF) • Specify file operations in terms of database objects rather than file names. Example: SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST = '/u01/oradata'; SQL> CREATE TABLESPACE tbs_1;

  19. Database SYSTEM tablespace INVENTORY tablespace 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

  20. Automatic Storage Management • Is a portable and high-performancecluster file system • Manages Oracle database files • Spreads data across disksto balance load • Mirrors data • Solves storage-managementchallenges Application Database Filesystem ASM Volumemanager Operating system

  21. ASM: Key Features and Benefits • Stripes files but not logical volumes • Provides online disk reconfiguration and dynamic rebalancing • Allows for adjustable rebalancing speed • Provides redundancy on a per-file basis • Supports only Oracle database files • Is cluster aware • Is automatically installed

  23. Summary • In this lesson, you should have learned how to: • Describe the storage of table row data in blocks • Define the purpose of tablespaces and data files • Create and manage tablespaces • Obtain tablespace information • Describe the main concepts and functionality of Automatic Storage Management (ASM)

  24. Practice 6 Overview:Managing Database Storage Structures • This practice covers the following topics: • Creating tablespaces • Gathering information about tablespaces
