EnterpriseDB Replication Server
Oracle Tips by Burleson Consulting
|
The
EnterpriseDB Replication Server is a tool that allows you to synchronize
the data in multiple databases. The EnterpriseDB Replication Server can
replicate data between EnterpriseDB and Oracle databases. Currently,
only Single Master Replication is supported.
EnterpriseDB
replication does not provide automated failover. It does support manual
swap-over of active stand by databases and it also allows customers to keep
databases synchronized for reporting and other hot uses.
I will cover, in
much greater detail, the EnterpriseDB Replication Server in chapter 7.
EnterpriseDB Developer Studio
The EnterpriseDB
Developer Studio is an EnterpriseDB developer's best friend. The Developer
Studio is a cross platform IDE for SQL, PL/SQL, SPL, and the PostgreSQL
procedural language, PL/pgSQL.
EnterpriseDB
Studio can connect to EnterpriseDB, PostgreSQL and Oracle databases concurrently
and comes with a source level debugger. You can also perform maintenance
functions such as backup and restore using the Developer Studio.
I will be using
Developer Studio for much of the remainder of the book and I will cover it in
great detail in chapter 3.
EnterpriseDB Migration Toolset
The EnterpriseDB
Migration Toolset allows you to connect to an Oracle database and extract all or
part of a schema into an EnterpriseDB database. You can extract tables, views,
procedures, constraints and just about anything else you need to run your
application.
I will cover the
EnterpriseDB Migration Toolset in chapter 8 and we will migrate an application (TimeTraker)
in chapter 9.
Documentation
Documentation is
available on the EnterpriseDB.com site under Support. The documentation is very
readable and should be familiar to PostgreSQL developers.
For Oracle
developers and Remote DBAs who are used to the Oracle Technology Network (OTN), you
might be surprised that the documentation all fits in a single document. It's
all there though.
For those new
to SQL, there is a very basic tutorial in the documentation. It's brief but
worth reading. I will have some tutorial information in later chapters.
EnterpriseDB ships with a sample schema that will be VERY familiar to Oracle
developers. I will use that schema for many of my examples.
This is an excerpt
from the book "EnterpriseDB: The Definitive Reference" by Rampant TechPress.
