ORACLE 11G R2 | LIMITS

Começar o ano com um post bem simples, apenas informativo. Abaixo tem uma lista com os limites do Oracle Database.

Dividida  em 4 categorias mais uma com  limites do compilador PL/SQL.

É uma agregação de 5 paginas  da documentação do Oracle Database 11g Release 2, ficando assim mais facil para consultar

Datatype Limits

Datatypes	Limit	Comments

Physical Database Limits

Item	Type of Limit	Limit Value

Database Block Size	Maximum	Operating system dependent; never more than 32 KB
Database Blocks	Minimum in initial extent of a segment	2 blocks
Database Blocks	Maximum per datafile	Platform dependent; typically 222 – 1 blocks
Controlfiles	Number of control files	1 minimum; 2 or more (on separate devices) strongly recommended
Controlfiles	Size of a control file	Dependent on operating system and database creation options; maximum of 20,000 x (database block size)
Database files	Maximum per tablespace	Operating system dependent; usually 1022
Database files	Maximum per database	65533 May be less on some operating systems Limited also by size of database blocks and by the DB_FILES initialization parameter for a particular instance

Database extents	Maximum per locally managed (uniform) tablespace	2 GB * physical block size (with K/M modifier); 2 GB (without K/M modifier)
Database file size	Maximum	Operating system dependent. Limited by maximum operating system file size; typically 222 or 4 MB blocks

MAXEXTENTS	Maximum	Unlimited
Redo Log Files	Maximum number of logfiles	Limited by value of MAXLOGFILES parameter in the CREATE DATABASE statement Control file can be resized to allow more entries; ultimately an operating system limit
Redo Log Files	Maximum number of logfiles per group	Unlimited
Redo Log File Size	Minimum size	4 MB
Redo Log File Size	Maximum Size	Operating system limit; typically 2 GB
Tablespaces	Maximum number per database	64 K Number of tablespaces cannot exceed the number of database files because each tablespace must include at least one file
