Backup and Restore Oracle Database with Free SQL Backup Master 6.3.6410

As an Oracle database administrator, you understand the importance of regular backup and restore operations to ensure data integrity and availability. One of the most effective ways to accomplish this is by using a reliable backup tool like Free SQL Backup Master 6.3.6410. In this article, we will explore how to use this free utility to create backups and restore your Oracle database.

Identifying Tables for Backup

Before creating a backup, it's essential to identify the tables that require logging. You can do this by running a query against the `dba_tab_partitions` view:

```

SELECT DISTINCT 'alter table '||table_owner||'.'||table_name||' logging '

FROM dba_tab_partitions

WHERE table_owner IN ('HR') AND logging='NO'

```

This query will return a list of tables that require logging in the `HR` schema. You can then use this information to create a backup plan.

Creating a Backup

To create a backup, you need to create a new tablespace and add datafiles to it. For example:

```

CREATE TABLESPACE goldengate

DATAFILE '$ORACLE_BASE/oradata/$ORACLE_SID/goldengate.dbf' SIZE 100M AUTOEXTEND ON

```

After creating the tablespace, you can create a backup user account with the necessary privileges. For example:

```

CREATE USER GOLDENGATE IDENTIFIED BY GOLDENGATE

DEFAULT TABLESPACE GOLDENGATE

TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP

```

Backup Script

To automate the backup process, you can create a script that runs the above queries and executes the necessary commands. Here is an example script:

```

SELECT 'alter table '||owner||'.'||table_name||' logging '

FROM dba_tables

WHERE owner IN ('HR') AND logging='NO'

SELECT 'alter table '||table_owner||'.'||table_name||' move partition '||partition_name||' nocompress update indexes '

FROM dba_tab_partitions

WHERE compression ='ENABLED' AND table_owner='HR'

/u01/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/dbfilter database add supplemental log data

```

This script will create a backup of the specified tables and partitions, as well as enable supplemental logging for the primary key columns.
