Re: Senior Oracle DBA now Learning Informix by Request

This sounds like Wal-mart. Which is probably the largest Informix shop. jp Darren_Jacobs@car max.com Sent by: To informix-list-bou DA Morgan <damorgan@psoug.org> nces@iiug.org cc informix-list@iiug.org Subject 12/14/2006 02:30 Re: Senior Oracle DBA now Learning PM Informix by Request Will this backup 1 databases or all databases in an instance? informix backups are a single command as well depending on which utility. ontape -s -L 0or onbar -b -L 0 Both of these options backup the entire instance. BTW, Currently a company is running 1250 instances/DBA or 10,000 instances for 8 DBA's (source - Ambuj Goyal, General Manager of IBM at User Forum in DC this past weekend). Your example of 100 db's/DBA is a far cry. Plus, the 1250 instances could contain 1 or many databases. Just my thougths.

One of a DBA's major responsibilities is to perform backups of the database. Here is the complete command required to backup an Oracle database. What is the "easier" way to do it in Informix worthy of all the fanfare? RMAN> BACKUP DATABASE; -- Daniel A.
