A.3 Chapter 3, Installing and Running Oracle

Faster installation

You can install Oracle Database 10g in 20
minutes from a single disk.

Database Upgrade Assistant

This tool is a part of Oracle Database 10g that
simplifies the upgrade process from an earlier version of Oracle.

Rolling upgrades

You can perform a rolling upgrade to new versions by using Real
Application Clusters and upgrading only some of the nodes in the
cluster at a time.

Automatic Storage Management

Automatic Storage Management (ASM) provides automatic striping and
mirroring for datafiles without requiring any other software. ASM
also lets you add or remove disks without stopping the database, and
performs automatic disk tuning to avoid the performance problems of
"hot spots" on disk.

Automatic Workload Repository

The Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) stores snapshots of your
Oracle environment that can be used to identify potential problems in
the environment.

Export directory entries

You can export configuration information from Oracle Internet
Directory (OID, an LDAP-compliant directory) to a local version of
the TNSNAMES.ORA file, in case the directory is
not available.

Simplified host naming

You can identify a host with either the host name or the TCP/IP
address.

LDAP.ORA

This file is no longer needed if the directory is registered with the
Domain Name Server (DNS).
