FAQ on using Transportable Tablespace

Q1: Can I move/migrate to both a different RDBMS version and OS platform at the same time?

Yes; must be 10g or higher to move across OS platforms; charactersets must be the same regardless of version.

See "Limitations on Transportable Use" in Document 371556.1 How to move tablespaces across platforms using Transportable Tablespaces with RMAN


Q2: Do I have to convert the datafiles?

Yes, if the endianness is different.  If the endianness is not different and no undo is in any of the tablespaces being transported, then the convert step is not needed. 

Document 243304.1 10g : Transportable Tablespaces Across Different Platforms confirms the answer.

Q3: Can I use TTS with ASM?

Yes, with RMAN, ASM files can be moved.

See "Transportable tablespace EXP/IMP of ASM files" in Document 371556.1 How to move tablespaces across platforms using Transportable Tablespaces with RMAN


Q4: Can I move raw files?

Yes, with RMAN.

See "Transportable tablespace EXP/IMP of ASM files" in Document 371556.1 How to move tablespaces across platforms using Transportable Tablespaces with RMAN

Q5: Can I transport just a single partition?

Yes.
See Document 731559.1 How to move or transport table partition using Transportable Table Space (TTS)?

Q6: Is there a size limitation?

No, except for a couple of size-related bugs, one which is a potential-corruption bug in < 11g.  Please see note for description and patch information.

What is the difference between Elastic and Enterprise Redis w.r.t "Hybrid Query" capabilities

  We'll explore scenarios involving nested queries, aggregations, custom scoring, and hybrid queries that combine multiple search criteria. 1. Nested Queries ElasticSearch Example: ElasticSearch supports nested documents, which allows for querying on nested fields with complex conditions. Query: Find products where the product has a review with a rating of 5 and the review text contains "excellent". { "query": { "nested": { "path": "reviews", "query": { "bool": { "must": [ { "match": { "reviews.rating": 5 } }, { "match": { "reviews.text": "excellent" } } ] } } } } } Redis Limitation: Redis does not support nested documents natively. While you can store nested structures in JSON documents using the RedisJSON module, querying these nested structures with complex condi...

Training LLM model requires more GPU RAM than storing same LLM

Storing an LLM model and training the same model both require memory, but the memory requirements for training are typically higher than just storing the model. Let's dive into the details: Memory Requirement for Storing the Model: When you store an LLM model, you need to save the weights of the model parameters. Each parameter is typically represented by a 32-bit float (4 bytes). The memory requirement for storing the model weights is calculated by multiplying the number of parameters by 4 bytes. For example, if you have a model with 1 billion parameters, the memory requirement for storing the model weights alone would be 4 GB (4 bytes * 1 billion parameters). Memory Requirement for Training: During the training process, additional components use GPU memory in addition to the model weights. These components include optimizer states, gradients, activations, and temporary variables needed by the training process. These components can require additional memory beyond just storing th...

How are vector databases used?

  Vector Databases Usage: Typically used for vector search use cases such as visual, semantic, and multimodal search. More recently, they are paired with generative AI text models for conversational search experiences. Development Process: Begins with building an embedding model designed to encode a corpus (e.g., product images) into vectors. The data import process is referred to as data hydration. Application Development: Application developers utilize the database to search for similar products. This involves encoding a product image and using the vector to query for similar images. k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) Indexes: Within the model, k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) indexes facilitate efficient retrieval of vectors. A distance function like cosine is applied to rank results by similarity.
