Lesson 1
New Features for Distributed DatabasesThe purpose of this module is to examine the new Oracle8i features related to distributed databases. As you know, Oracle software is evolving constantly to improve database connectivity between distributed systems. With the introduction of Oracle8i, we see several new features that improve connectivity between remote databases and offer improved security and replication reliability.
After completing this module, you will be able to:
- List primary Oracle8i enhancements for distributed databases
- Work with queue propagation
- Create primary key snapshots in replication
- Identify the new Oracle8i features for updateable snapshots
- Use deferred constraints on updateable snapshots
- Describe enhanced LOB support in Oracle8i
- Monitor replication by querying V$ views
- Implement snapshot security
- Walk through the steps for creating snapshots offline
- Identify the new features of snapshot deployment templates
The objective of this module is to provide you with enough detailed information about the new Oracle8i distributed features to enable
you to use them in your organization and to understand their functions well enough to pass the OCT exam. This module assumes that you already
have a baseline understanding of Oracle8 distributed database concepts, including snapshots and replication techniques.
Let's began by taking a closer look at each of the enhancements for distributed databases.
