the same as the character set specified for the Oracle database that the TimesTen data store connects to.

Replication is not possible between data stores with different character sets. Because data stores created with versions of TimesTen prior to 7.0 do not have a data store character set specified, a special data store character set, TIMESTEN8, has been created, which allows replication compatibility between data stores created by TimesTen 7.0 and those created by earlier releases. If you plan to perform the data store upgrade as an online upgrade with replication (see “Performing an online upgrade with replication” on page 104), then you must specify a DatabaseCharacterSet of TIMESTEN8 in your TimesTen 7.0 DSN.

If you use TimesTen Client/Server and intend to connect to the upgraded data store with an application linked to a Client ODBC library from a version prior to TimesTen 7.0, you must specify a DatabaseCharacterSet of TIMESTEN8 in your TimesTen 7.0 DSN in order to ensure compatibility. See “Performing a Client/Server online upgrade from a TimesTen version prior to 6.0” on page 113 or “Performing a Client/Server online upgrade from TimesTen version 6.0 and above” on page 116.

Note: The TIMESTEN8 data store character set is intended for use only when transitioning from a version of TimesTen prior to 7.0. When you no longer need your data store to replicate to a pre-7.0 version of TimesTen, or to connect to a pre-7.0 client application, you should use ttMigrate to convert your data store to a data store character set other than TIMESTEN8. See “Data store character set conversion” on page 91 for details.

Data type conversion

When performing an upgrade from a version prior to TimesTen 7.0, you must choose whether to preserve the data types in your data store as TimesTen data types, or whether to convert them to Oracle data types. Your planned use for the data store and your preferred upgrade method will have an impact on this decision.

B31679-01 specifications

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. At the heart of its design is a highly rigid yet lightweight chassis that minimizes vibrations, ensuring that the audio signal remains pure and uncolored. This attention to vibration isolation is critical, as even the slightest interference can compromise the clarity and fidelity of the sound. 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. The innovative suspension technology helps decouple the turntable from external vibrations and resonances, creating a stable platform for vinyl playback. This is particularly important in environments with background noise or potential disturbances, allowing users to experience their music as intended.

Another notable characteristic of the B31679-01 is its precision-engineered tonearm. The tonearm is designed for optimal tracking, ensuring that the stylus maintains contact with the record groove, capturing every nuance of the music. By minimizing tracking error and optimizing weight distribution, the tonearm enhances overall soundstage and detail, allowing audiophiles to rediscover their vinyl collection with newfound appreciation.

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.

In summary, the Oracle B31679-01 combines advanced engineering, premium materials, and innovative technologies to create a turntable that excels in sound quality and performance. Its focus on vibration isolation, precise tonearm design, reliable motor operation, and customization options make it a distinguished choice for those seeking an exceptional vinyl experience. Oracle Audio Technologies continues to set high standards in the audio industry, and the B31679-01 is a testament to their dedication and expertise.
