"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
