Oracle Tips by Burleson

Oracle 10g Support for Additional Data Types

LogMiner now supports the mining of multi-byte CLOB and NCLOB data types and also extends the support for tables containing LONG and LONG RAW columns.

In addition, LogMiner provides support for the new BINARY_FLOAT and BINARY_DOUBLE data types.

By extending support to BINARY_FLOAT and BINARY_DOUBLE data types, as well as multi-byte CLOB and NCLOB data types, the facilities such as Oracle Data Guard SQL Apply, Logical Standby, and Oracle Streams, which uses the LogMiner technology, are improved to cover more situations.

Additionally, LogMiner supports the mining of index-organized tables (IOTs).

LogMiner and products based on LogMiner technology only support IOTs that do not contain overflow segments or LOB columns.

Now, let's move on to the next section where we will focus on the new features and improvements for the Data Guard facility and environment.
