Description
In this presentation, I will outline the upcoming transformations set to take place within CERN's database infrastructure. Among the challenges facing our database team during the Long Shutdown 3 (LS3) will be the upgrade of Oracle databases.
The forthcoming version of Oracle database is introducing a significant internal change as the databases will be converted to a container architecture. This presentation will introduce the concept of a container database and show the challenges and new opportunities it brings.
This major upgrade will also introduce numerous new features. Some of the expected functionalities are vector data types and vector indexes, as well as JSON Relational duality. Additionally, we'll explore the potential benefits of adopting new schema-level privileges and Oracle True Cache technology.
Seamless and efficient transition necessitates close collaboration between the database team and its users. This presentation aims to inform the community of the upcoming changes and the efforts required to ensure a smooth transition.
