Replicating Databases from the Oracle Database Management System

The goal of database replication is to store data in several locations so that the running database can be accessed from any one of them. The reason why users prefer database replication is because it helps in recovering data in case of a failure or crash of the primary server as data replicated in secondary locations are automatically triggered and there is no disruption of work. Moreover, placing a backup of the data close to the user increases database performance by quickening speeds and reducing network loads.

With Oracle being the main database management system for decades, Oracle replication plays a critical role in increasing the operational efficiencies of organizations since it facilitates data access through several sources like servers and sites.  


There are many benefits that accrue to users from Oracle replication.

The first is improved server performance as users can channel data read functions to a replica during the process of database replication. This enables IT personnel to minimize processing cycles on the primary server and make it the main tool for write operations.

Next, since Oracle replication enhances application availability across several servers in various locations, data is easily accessed even if the primary server faces an outage or disruption in its functioning. In such cases, the replicated data in secondary services are automatically triggered and neither work is disrupted nor data is lost.

Finally, Oracle replication leads to improved network performance because minimum data access latency is assured as multiple copies of the same data are maintained in various locations.

These important benefits and cutting-edge advantages of Oracle replication make it a critical tool for most data-driven businesses in today’s ecosystem.

The Optimized Uses of a Database Replication Tool

Image
Database replication is the process of copying data from a central database to one or several other databases. After replicating data from a source to a target, all users have access to the same data and records. However, to ensure that the data is replicated without any loss or errors the best database replication tool must be used. A wide range of functions that include data security, disaster data recovery and resilience, and business continuity are supported by the database replication tool. The replication process is auto-managed by the software across diverse sources and targets. A database replication tool ensures data consistency for end-users through multiple data stores. The primary benefit of replication is that the source database remains fully functional during database migration without the need for downtime or shutting down systems. This is a big help for large enterprises for whom downtime even for a brief period can badly affect their daily operations. Further, a data...

Why Should You Use Amazon ETL for Database Migration

Image
Amazon Web Service is a cloud-based service that optimizes data migration from on-premises databases to the cloud or from one cloud provider to another. All these processes are best carried out with the Amazon ETL tool. Amazon ETL ( Extract, Transform, and Load) can combine various data warehouses or databases into a centralized storage repository. The workflow is as follows - data is extracted from the database from which it has to be migrated, transformed, and formatted to match the data structure of the target database, and finally loaded into the target database, completing the migration process.  The Amazon ETL process is automated leading to high data accuracy and performance, and low migration costs.  Benefits of Amazon ETL for database migration . Here are a few of them. ·         Amazon ETL seamlessly migrates on-premises databases to Amazon RDS or Amazon EC2, and Aurora, as well as databases running on EC2 to RDS or vice versa. I...

Database Migration with AWS DMS Services

Image
Among the many services provided by AWS (Amazon Web Service) is database migration (DMS or Database Migration Service) from on-premises servers to the cloud, data warehouses, relational databases, NoSQL databases, and between one cloud provider to another. The only condition for availing of AWS DMS services is that one of the sources or the target databases should be operating on the cloud as AWS DMS is a cloud-based platform. There are three types of database migration offered by AWS DMS services. ·         Full-load database migration: In this instance, both the source and the target databases are shut down and all the data at the source is migrated to the target database in one go. ·         On-going database migration: Here, the source and the target databases are kept in sync and once the full-load data migration is completed, ongoing changes and incremental data are migrated at pre-set intervals. ·   ...
