To enhance the value of best practices, we have identified which configuration changes produced the greatest results. This should enable anyone reviewing the best practices to easily identify the recommendations that will have the most value. Best practices were categorized as follows:
Day 1 through 3: Most enterprises implement configuration changes based on the delivery cycle:
When reviewing the best practices, the day and value of the recommendations are combined. Here are some examples:
The purpose of using this type of categorization is to help customers quickly decide which recommendations will provide the best value for their system. Investing time in implementing these best practices provides the greatest return. This approach can be taken for each layer of the database system until all Day 1, highly recommended best practices are completed. This ranking system differentiates this best-practices program and gives our customers the best return on investment.
Best practices are broad recommendations designed to apply to most Oracle databases using Dell infrastructure, but not every database. However, every database workload and system is different, which means the value of these best practices will vary from system to system. As with any configuration or change to a database system, the best approach is to test and validate the change prior to implementing the best practice on a production system. We recommend testing all best practices before implementing the changes in production.
