Frequent Schema / Tablespace Refreshes from backups
Hi all,
Oracle Enterprise Database: 11.2.0.4 Linux 64 Bit
The goal we’re trying to achieve is simple and efficient Schema or Tablespace Restores for Dev and Test environments from backups made from these frequently changing environments.
We do not expect to load these backups onto other servers or import into different OS
The main two mechanisms that I am investigating are RMAN and Data Pump.
Initially, I’ve done some research on RMAN because of its performance.
However, upon investigation the initial speed is negated by the requirement of a Recovery Catalog as well as time taken for needed post restore steps, please see below:
