Planning the Database
As a DBA, you must plan:
• The logical storage structure of the database and
its physical implementation:
–
–
–
–
•
•
3-4
How many disk drives do you have for this?
How many data files will you need? (Plan for growth)
How many tablespaces will you use?
Which type of information will be stored? Any
special storage requirements due to type or size?
The overall database design
A backup strategy for the database

Planning the Database:
Considerations
•
•
•
3-5
The performance of the servers running Oracle
database instances
The performance of the database during data
access operations
The efficiency of backup and recovery procedures
for the database

Databases: Examples
•
•
Data Warehouse: Store data for long periods and
retrieve them in read operations:
Research and marketing data
– State or federal tax payments
– Professional licensing (doctors, nurses, and so on)
•
Transaction Processing: Accommodate many, but
usually small transactions:
– Store checkout register system
– Automatic teller machine (ATM) transactions
•
General Purpose: Work with transactions and
store them for a medium length of time:
– Retail billing system, for example, of a software house or
a nursery

Physical and Logical Design
Questions: Quiz
1. DBAs should consider growth and security
factors when planning a database.
2. It is a good idea to store data and indexes on
the same physical disk although you have
several disks available.
3. The size of a database can be described by the
sum of all its tablespaces.
4. Database objects belonging to one schema can
be stored in multiple tablespaces.
5. Blocks in online transaction processing (OLTP)
systems should always be as full as possible,
because updates never occur in this type of
system.
