1)    Use of the couplet “Best Practice(s)” is harmful.

Subject: Oracle DB Best Practices on Linux x86_64

 

I have an interesting request from a customer to review the Oracle 
configuration on a couple servers for best practices. I've been checking things 
over; I haven't had a chance to talk to the customer yet, but seeing from the 
load I'm guessing they aren't in production yet.

 

Right now I've just looked at the very basic things that tend to come back and 
bite later on, or are just good things to configure in general: backups, 
multiplexed control/redo logs, memory settings, patch levels, log rotation, 
etc... but then again not all of them may be necessary, depending on the 
customer's needs. 

 

Has anyone created some kind of generic best practices document, or a checklist 
of some kind? Arup Nanda's document from 2007 has some good points, so I would 
be looking for something like that I suppose. 

 

Thanks,

Justin
