In modern data platforms, agility is a strategic imperative. Oracle Database 19c reinforces this mandate by introducing Hot Clone PDB, a feature that empowers DBAs to clone a pluggable database without shutting down the source PDB. This capability unlocks accelerated provisioning pipelines for development, testing, QA refreshes, and rapid environment replication—while keeping production workloads uninterrupted. […]
A standby database is a transactionally consistent copy of the production database. It enables the production Oracle database to survive disasters and data corruption. When the production database becomes unavailable due to a planned or unplanned outage, Data Guard can promote a standby database to the primary role, minimizing downtime. In addition, performance of the […]
Synopsis: This post describes a pragmatic, production-oriented procedure to recover a database when all online redo log files are lost on Oracle 19c. It assumes you have valid RMAN backups and the archived redo logs required for recovery. The example is taken from a lab scenario and is copy-paste ready for documentation or an internal […]

The procedure uses an auxiliary instance to mount a recovered copy of necessary tablespaces at the requested point in time, performs an export of the target table from the auxiliary instance, and then imports it back […]
