High Availability Best Practices

Oracle White Paper

Introduction

Oracle Database In-Memory (Database In-Memory) introduces dramatically better performance for analytic queries. Because the In-Memory column store has been seamlessly integrated into Oracle Database, all of the high availability benefits that come from the Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA) are inherited when implementing Database In-Memory. With generic MAA best practices as described in the HA documentation or MAA white papers located inwww.oracle.com/goto/maa, Oracle Database In-Memory can be configured to tolerate instance and node failures, protect and repair from data corruptions quickly, to fail over in the case of cluster, database failures or disasters in a timely manner and to address various planned maintenance activities with near zero database downtime. This paper focuses on additional best practices to achieve high availability and high performance application services for Oracle Database In-Memory during planned maintenance activities and failures.
