Changes in Oracle OLAP in Oracle Database 12c Release 2 (12.2)

The following change is in Oracle OLAP DML Reference for Oracle Database 12c Release 2 (12.2):

  • The OBJ function has the new keyword CHANGEDPAGES, which returns the number of pages in the analytic workspace that have changed since the last update.

Also, Active Data Guard (ADG) read-only active standby instances now support read-only OLAP applications. An active standby instance must have real-time apply operating.

You can now offload to ADG active standby instances applications that query CUBE_TABLE and OLAP_TABLE functions that use dynamic abstract data types (ADTs). The initial ADT creation triggers a request to create it on the ADG primary. Real-time apply propagates the new ADT to the active standby instance, which allows the query to run after a short delay. If the ADT fails to appear on the standby in a reasonable time, then an error condition occurs.
