最优灵活体系结构(Optimal Flexible Architecture,OFA)

最优灵活体系结构(Optimal Flexible Architecture,简称OFA)
OFA其实就是一种Oracle的一种规范,其意义就是用一种统一的给文件和文件夹的规则,和文件存放目录的规则做一个约定。这样,我们不管是安装多个版本的Oracle Database也好,因为目录规范,命名规范,这样软件不会冲突,方便管理,文件也方便查找。通过遵循OFA的指导,使得整个系统可以更加灵活 

Advantages of Multiple Oracle Homes and OFA

When you install Oracle database, you are installing a large application that your computer can support. Using multiple Oracle homes and Optimal Flexible Architecture provides many advantages when administering large databases. The following advantages are important:

  • Structured organization of directories and files, and consistent naming for database files simplify database administration.

  • Distribution of I/O across multiple disks prevents performance bottlenecks caused by multiple read or write commands issued simultaneously to a single drive.

  • Distribution of applications across multiple disks safeguards against database failures.

  • Login home directories are not at risk when database administrators add, move, or delete Oracle home directories.

  • Multiple databases, of different versions, owned by different users can coexist concurrently.

  • Software upgrades can be tested in an Oracle home in a separate directory from the Oracle home where your production database is located.
