(disclaimer: I can’t look at the sourcecode, which means I look at the oracle executable with normal, modern tools. This also means that there’s a of stuff that I don’t see, for example if functionality has been added inside an existing function, then that’s totally invisible to me)

What’s new with Oracle database 18.8 versus 18.9

January 17, 2020
Exadata, Linux, Oracle, Oracle EE, Oracle XE
Leave a comment

For the difference between Oracle database versions 18.8 and 18.9 this too follows the line of a low amount of differences.

As always, there are some parameters that have changed from being undocumented spare to being undocumented with a name.

Also, the DBA and CDB table (DBA|CDB)_REGISTRY_BACKPORTS is back again. The disappearance of this table in 18.8 turned out to be a bug. There is a patch for 18.8 if you need this table.

On the C function side, it becomes apparent that this update is truly an update, roughly the number of functions that have gone and appeared are the same. A large portion of the functions that are removed in 18.9 are functions that have to do with AWR, and some other functions dealing with ASM and others.

The functions that have been added seem to be quite diverse,

(disclaimer: I can’t look at the sourcecode, which means I look at the oracle executable with normal, modern tools. This also means that there’s a of stuff that I don’t see, for example if functionality has been added inside an existing function, then that’s totally invisible to me)

What’s new with Oracle database 19.6 versus 19.5

January 16, 2020

As expected, there aren’t any really drastic differences between Oracle database version 19.5 and 19.6. Now that I am doing these series on differences for all the versions every quarter the new release updates are coming out, there is a certain line, and this release does follow that.

As always, there are some parameters that have changed from being undocumented spare to being undocumented with a name. There is one documented parameter that was added: optimizer_session_type, which has gone official from “_optimizer_auto_index_allow”; see bug 29632611.

_smart_log_threshold_usec
optimizer_session_type

No data dictionary changes have been found.

On the C function side, it becomes apparent that there’s development taking place. For the functions that have been removed, there’s a bunch that deal with ASM (kfd), some with kubs which has to do with big data SQL and some XDB/XML stuff.

There’s way more functions that gotten into the newest release update. There’s a lot of unknowns, ASM, application continuity, lots of big data SQL, JSON, polymorphic table functions, XML, and something that looks like it has to do with SIMD processing (skfSIMD) for which I don’t know what the ‘f’ is there (functions?). There’s also a whole batch of functions starting with ‘rest_nhp’, I yet have to look into these.

(disclaimer: I can’t look at the sourcecode, which means I look at the oracle executable with normal, modern tools. This also means that there’s a of stuff that I don’t see, for example if functionality has been added inside an existing function, then that’s totally invisible to me)

What’s new with Oracle database 19.5 versus 19.4

It seems that the most eye-catching difference between Oracle database versions 19.5 and 19.4 is three underscore parameters spare parameters being changed to specifically named underscore parameters, two of them have a bug number in them which is not publicly visible.

In v$sysstat/v$sesstat, a group of statistics are renamed from ‘OS %’ to ‘Server %’. All these statistics are about networking. One changed parameter directly points to networking (tcpinfo). These statistics are added in version 19.

One DBA view was added: DBA_DV_COMMON_OPERATION_STATUS. This view is specific and owned by to DVSYS.

And here are the differences in symbols (c functions).
The functions unique to 19.4 versus 19.5 (alias removed) are partly jon thus java related functions, which all have ‘domain’ in the name. Plus some diverse functions.

There is a significant amount number of functions added. The first ones starting with ‘aux_’ and ‘decode_krb5’ might have something to do with ‘krb5’, alias Kerberos version 5.

There is a ‘dbnest_dir_check’ function in between ‘aux’ and ‘decode’. It seems ‘dbnest’ is an entire layer in the database code at least, however I do not know if it relates to something that is public knowledge.

Among all kinds of singular added functions, what further is noticeable, is a high number of ASM related functions being added, of which a lot of them refer to ‘oss’ (oracle storage server?).

Additionally, a bunch of ‘ksp_modp’ functions are added which might have something to do with the ‘_session_modp_list’ parameter, and a bunch of parameters starting with ‘ksws_alb’ which might have something to do with the ‘_bug29903454_ksws_enable_alb’ parameter.

Further a group of functions starting with ‘soda’, which might be related to DBMS_SODA: a package implementing Simple Oracle Document Access (SODA), for managing document collections using PL/SQL.
