12c Database roadmap announced by Larry Ellison

WOW!!!! 12C database roadmap announced, as usual it is bringing us a big change in Oracle database architecture.

Oracle Open world started last sunday and Oracle CEO Larry Ellison announced a complete new paradigm architecture of Oracle Database with 12c, which is going to launched in calendar 2013.

From the architecture perspective, this is called multi tenant database.

Ellison's comments Sunday provided the most detailed look to date at the new edition, 12c, which is several years in the making.

"It is the first multitenant database in the world," Ellison said of the product. Separate memory and processes are allocated to each database, according to a slide he presented.

It incorporates a "fundamentally new architecture," he said. With it, customers can take "one dedicated set of memory, one set of operating system processes and then plug multiple separate private databases into that single container."

 

He also made the pitch for multitenancy as a way to ease the burden on corporate IT departments.

"Typically companies have hundreds, even thousands of separate databases," he said. "This becomes very expensive. You have to back up these thousands of databases. You have to buy hardware."

The multitenant capabilities in 12c provide "huge efficiency gains," Ellison said.

Oracle database 12c will be released in "calendar year 2013," an announcer stated prior to Ellison's keynote.

So basically a Separation of data dictionary as one database and other databases. Sounds something similar, Yes for me too. The way SQL Server/Sybase works , but lets wait for full details. Clock start ticking, tik, tik, tik.
