Upgrade modes

TimesTen allows you to perform these kinds of upgrades:

In-place upgrades

In-place upgrades are available for moving to a new patch release of TimesTen, such as moving from the first patch release of 7.0, version 7.0.1.0.0, to the second patch release of 7.0, version 7.0.2.0.0. As long as your TimesTen data stores do not reside in the TimesTen installation directory, you can uninstall an old release of TimesTen, install a new patch release of TimesTen and connect to existing data stores with the new release. No separate action is required for existing stores.

In-place upgrades require all applications to disconnect from the data store during the upgrade procedure. This kind of upgrade allows you to preserve the existing data store without using TimesTen’s backup and migration utilities.

Offline upgrades

During the time required to perform an offline upgrade, the data store is not available to applications. Offline upgrades usually require enough disk space for an extra copy of the upgraded data store.

Offline upgrades are used to:

move to a new major or patch release of TimesTen.

move to a different directory or machine.

reduce data store size.

move between 32-bit and 64-bit data stores.

You should perform offline upgrades during a time when applications do not need continuous access to the data store. For example, if there is a maintenance window during weekends, schedule the upgrade during that time.

Offline upgrades require all applications to disconnect from the data store during the upgrade procedure. The data store must also be unloaded from shared memory. Offline upgrades require you to use TimesTen’s ttMigrate or ttBackup utilities. (See "ttMigrate" and "ttBackup" in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database API Reference Guide.)

Oracle Audio Technologies has long been known for its commitment to high-end audio equipment that delivers superb sound quality and innovative design. One standout product from the company is the Oracle B31679-01, a remarkable turntable that showcases their expertise in the audio domain.

The B31679-01 embodies advanced engineering principles and a passion for music reproduction.

The turntable is constructed using premium materials that enhance performance and aesthetic appeal, adding an element of sophistication to any audio setup.

One of the key features of the Oracle B31679-01 is its sophisticated suspension system.

In terms of motor technology, the Oracle B31679-01 features a high-torque, low-noise motor that provides reliable and consistent speed. This is crucial for vinyl playback, as variations in speed can lead to pitch inaccuracies and a less enjoyable listening experience. The motor's design is engineered to operate quietly, ensuring that no unwanted noise enters the audio signal.

The Oracle B31679-01 also stands out with its customizable features, allowing users to tailor their experience to their personal taste. From cartridge compatibility to adjustable settings, the turntable accommodates a wide range of preferences, making it a versatile choice for both casual listeners and serious audiophiles.
