The size of all the CLOB and BLOB columns in all the non-system tables so that they have a good idea of the size involved for a migration

Tables with BLOB/CLOB columns

SELECT *
FROM DBA_TAB_COLUMNS
WHERE DATA_TYPE LIKE ‚_LOB‘
AND OWNER LIKE ‚%MYSCHEMA%‘;

Find the size of BLOB/CLOB columns

SELECT DBMS_LOB.GetLength(„CLOB_DATA“)/1024/1024 AS SizeMB
FROM MY_SCHEMA.MY_TABLE_WITH_BLOB_CLOB

SELECT SUM(DBMS_LOB.GetLength(„CLOB_DATA“))/1024/1024 AS SizeMB
FROM MY_SCHEMA.MY_TABLE_WITH_BLOB_CLOB

Calculating the size for all tables with BLOB/CLOB columns

DECLARE
v_TableCol VARCHAR2(100) := “;
v_Size NUMBER := 0;
v_TotalSize NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
FOR v_Rec IN (
SELECT OWNER || ‚.‘ || TABLE_NAME || ‚.‘ || COLUMN_NAME AS TableAndColumn,
‚SELECT SUM(DBMS_LOB.GetLength(„‚ || COLUMN_NAME || ‚“))/1024/1024 AS SizeMB FROM ‚ || OWNER || ‚.‘ || TABLE_NAME AS sqlstmt
FROM DBA_TAB_COLUMNS
WHERE DATA_TYPE LIKE ‚_LOB‘
AND OWNER LIKE ‚%MYSCHEMA%‘)
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (v_Rec.sqlstmt);
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_Rec.sqlstmt INTO v_Size;

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (v_Rec.TableAndColumn || ‚ size in MB is ‚ || ROUND(NVL(v_Size,0),2));
v_TotalSize := v_TotalSize + NVL(v_Size,0);
END LOOP;

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (‚Total size in MB is ‚ || ROUND(v_TotalSize,2));
END;

Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Edition Recovery Manager (RMAN) Compression – the continuous growth in enterprise databases creates an enormous challenge to database administrators

Example:

Seit dem 28. Juni 2023 gibt es Oracle Datenbank 19c auch für ARM CPUs und damit stellt sich die Frage wie sieht es bei diesen CPUs mit der Lizenzierung aus
