Presumably not inspired by these threads, I just saw a note go by from
another customer saying they're getting ready to start rolling out
development 11gR2 instances.

 

I guess everyone is onboard with the new release.....

See, that's what you call "job security"... :-)

"Insane DBA raises her hand....raises both hands...." :)

 

We will be moving all our 10g databases to 11g R2, pretty much no matter
what...   It's going to have to involve bugs waaay worse than what we
are now experiencing in 10g to convince my manager NOT to go live with
it.  

 

My smallest environment is 2TB and my largest is 12TB.  We utilize heavy
partitioning, parallel server execution and I am soooo looking forward
to some of the new 11g features, (yes, I've been blogging about them...)
The hardware is ordered for my new environment, so I'm just waiting at
this point, but knowing the company I work for, this is going to be a
"faster than I'm comfortable" with implementation and I'm going to have
to be on the top of my game to ensure we make it out alive.   

 

The bugs we run into involve partitioning, group hash by aggregation,
parallel execution, max sort lengths and CBO.  I'm hoping to get away
from those, but I know I'm a wishful thinker.... :)  The patching for
some of these bugs ended up with situations where the "cure was worse
than the disease" or the work around wasn't even an option for us.  I've
found myself tiring of the constant justification for Oracle's
complexity resulting in patches that implement new bugs or having to
wait for special patches from Development for every PSU patch I apply to
then re-apply my one-off patches...

 

It's only going to get worse, isn't it? :P

My preprod is going live in a couple of weeks, and my production should
be going live just before end of Q2.

Oracle 11.2.0.1 RAC on RHEL 5.2.

Dear list members,

the subject line says it all... Anyone planning on going live with 11.2 
(single instance/RAC in Q1 or Q2)? What's the experience so far? I have 
noticed Mark Bobak's email about server pools and policy managed 
databases which makes me think that there might be a fair bit of testing

required :)

Best regards,

Martin
