Crowded room.

The archive room where one of our poor intern is just trying to sort 4 years of MSDN CDs. We plan to keep only a few of these, but before, we need to know what we have here. It’s an interesting thing to do. At least on the organization point of view (Note the small tables under the main one :D).

rman is clever

Well, sort of. Today, after patching one of my oracle database server against a migration issue that prevented it from shutting down clean. I finally managed to run the magic command: alter database archivelog; That would enable me to backup the database. Unfortunately, the disk space on this server is too low to allow two full backups of the database. I wanted to delete the old backup before doing the new one in rman but rman is too clever: You cannot delete the last remaining backup!...
