Oracle 12cR1: Moving tablespace by using the transportable tablespace feature from a Solaris Operating System (x86-64) to a Linux x86 64-bit system

This post will be about Cross-platform transportable tablespace. Cross-platform transportable tablespace is a technique where you can copy a tablespace from a database running in one platform to another platform. Also Cross-platform transportable tablespace isn’t the same as Cross-platform transportable database. In this instance the whole database is copied including the SYSTEM tablespace. In this post we are going to copy a tablespace from one database to another database.

Digging the STAR_TRANSFORMATION_ENABLED parameter on Oracle database 12cR1 inside a PDB

Taking an Oracle exam in unusual times – Nothing like a day (or months) like the other – Oracle Autonomous Database Cloud 2019 Specialist 1Z0- 931

My interest in the Oracle Autonomous Database Cloud 2019 certification started in September 2019 when I took this exam while attending the OOW19 (Oracle Open World 2019) at San Francisco, California, USA.
