Continuing testing Oracle Database@Google features, this time I wanted to test provisioning using gcloud CLI on Google and seeing how it works out. Google has documentation on using CLI to provision Autonomous Database (ADB) here: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/oracle-database/autonomous-databases/create Some of the variables are not right away clear, but in addition to the example I wanted to provision…
Using Google Cloud Storage with Autonomous Database@GCP
If you’ve worked with Autonomous Database previously, you know that every now and then you need to get files from the Autonomous Database or put files to Autonomous Database so they can be processed. For example, when you migrate data using Oracle Data Pump, the log files will be placed on the Autonomous Database. Typically,…
ZDM migration to Autonomous Database on GCP using Network Link for direct migration – part 2
Well this took a while! With recent work and travel it’s been couple busy months. Excited to write on this after being at Google Next 25 last week! I really feel the Oracle partnership with Google, Azure and AWS is going to be awesome for folks who still leverage Oracle technology heavily but want to…
ZDM migration to Autonomous Database on GCP using Network Link for direct migration – part 1
This will be a weird and fun post. I have recently been working with Autonomous Database migrations and wanted to highlight the option of using Oracle datapump (ZDM Logical Offline) and network link option. Using network link removes the need to export the data first to cloud storage and allows you to import “directly” your…
Connecting to Autonomous Database Running on Google Cloud
Last time I showed how to provision Autonomous Database Serverless (ADB-S) on Google Cloud. This time I have provisioned a new ADB and want to see how I can connect from my VM running on the same VPC as the ADB. I’ll use sqlcl to connect to the database, to install it you will need…
Can you believe it? Provisioning Autonomous Database in GCP!
I bet few years back folks didn’t expect that by 2024 we would be able to provision OCI resources in other clouds. Last year the announcement for Azure and this year announcements for GCP and AWS have been really exciting and I think long term they’ll have a positive impact with Oracle’s reputation also. One…
