RMAN Backup Compression - Am I using Advanced Compression
611900May 1 2011 — edited May 1 2011Hello I want to confirm one thing -
I have 11.1.0.7 database and when I look at the setting of RMAN Compression by using "SHOW ALL" it shows me result like this -
CONFIGURE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM 'BZIP2'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO COMPRESSED BACKUPSET;
My question is, If I am using COMPRESSION ALGORITHM 'BZIP2' in 11.1.0.7 database does it mean that I am using Oracle Advanced Compression option?
or this is a native compression option by oracle which is free.
Thanks!
