6 Oracle Rdb Product Development Strategy A 24x7 Database Optimized for Compaq OpenVMS Rdb s Unique Capabilities High-end OLTP systems Robust on-line management Extensive tuning capabilities Unique scalabiltiy on OpenVMS Mixed VAX/Alpha cluster support Integrated into Oracle environment 6

7 Promises Made New GUI Management Oracle Enterprise Manager New Tools Designer Developer Discoverer 3.1 Express Network Computing Oracle Application Server Support for Oracle API s Server Enhancements Performance Reliability Manageability Web Enabled DBAPack For Rdb SQL*Net For Rdb Rdb8 (beta 1999, 2000) Rdb7 Rdb6.1 Rdb 6.0 7

10 Rdb7 Features Review More new code than in all of Rdb Release 1 Major features for Integration into Oracle product family 64-bit very large memory support on OpenVMS Enhanced memory cache Disaster tolerance Enhanced Partitioning Client/Server performance Parallel backup & load And much more 10

11 SQL*Net for Rdb Native support for Oracle tools Oracle Developer Generates web-enabled forms Usable with ACMS Desktop Oracle Designer Release 2 supports Rdb server generation Oracle Discoverer Supported in Release 3.1 DBLinks for data sharing with Oracle databases 11

12 Row Cache in Rdb & DBMS Creates in-memory structures for caching of database information Dramatically improves read and write performance by servicing requests from cache Further improves write performance by eliminating Page Lock conflicts Logical Area Same name as a table or an index Caches all partitions of that table or index Physical Area Cache entire contents of a given Storage Area into a specified cache 12

13 Row Cache Is it Really Fast? On the upside, I see simple... queries that used to take 5 minutes running up to 800% faster... and worst case improvement was 250% faster... The percent gains were compared to 50,000 global buffers and a similar amount of memory used for row caching (no global buffers). 13

14 Hot Standby Option for Rdb & DBMS A hot-standby database is created from and transactionally consistent with the primary database Application processing can continue if primary database/system fails Essential for mission-critical and disaster recovery requirements. 14

15 Hot Standby Features Geographically Separate Systems Application Transparent No application change Database unchanged (AIJ Fast Commit Req d) Negligible Performance Impact Stand-by Database Available for Read-Only 15

19 What s in Rdb s Future? (Standard Disclaimer: Planned, not committed) Rdb7 LogMiner for Rdb Allows an application to capture database changes as logged to the After-Image Journal Beta testing now in Rdb7, production V7.0.4 Alpha EV67 Support Limited beta testing NOW! Engineering release ca. 28 April 2000 Shipped! 19

20 What s in Rdb s Future? (Standard Disclaimer: Planned, not committed) Rdb8 Support for next generation Alpha Systems ( Wildfire ) Galaxy optimization Global buffers in VLM Significant enhancements to SQL Enhanced Oracle8 SQL compatibility Sequences Major optimizer enhancements Thin JDBC client driver support Stability Probably the most stable n.0 release ever Beta testing began 4 th quarter calendar 1999 Engineering release 2nd half

21 Oracle Commitment Successful acquisition Support for customer base Integration with Oracle product family We continue to exceed our contractual obligations for enhancing Rdb to support our customers Oracle Rdb future Compatibility Enhancement Support 21

22 The Great Myth Myth: Oracle & Rdb will merge into a single product Reality: This will NEVER happen SQL*Net provides bridge to other Oracle products, to Oracle database server Many features unique to Rdb are being developed for the Oracle database server Many features being developed in parallel Product synergy & interoperability gives you a choice 22

23 Rdb & Oracle Servers: Migration, Coexistence Migration Applications Many considerations 3GL, 4GL? User I/O: DECforms? Platform: Leaving OpenVMS? Architecture: Client-Server, ACMS? Schema Use Designer Data Rdb: RMU/Unload, Oracle: SQL*Loader Why? 23

24 Rdb & Oracle Servers: Migration, Coexistence Coexistence All of the Oracle Server s capabilities extend Rdb Common application development w/ SQL*Net Single applications possible today Data sharing directly through DBLinks Near-line data sharing using LogMiner Rdb Oracle8i Production Transactions Production Database LogMiner Data Warehouse Decision Support DBLink Oracle8i Oracle8i Production Database 24 Web App Database Web Applications

25 What Oracle s Rdb Strategy Means For You Investment Protection Existing systems remain viable, still enhanced & supported Common Technologies application development, data access, decision support, web, and system management for both Rdb & Oracle Customer-centric choose the path that best fits your business requirements, make the best business decisions 25
