About Autonomous Data Warehouse Associated with Fusion Analytics Warehouse

Oracle Autonomous Database introduced a more advanced ECPU billing metric and is now retiring the legacy OCPU billing metric for Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse in the next 12 months.

ECPUs provide the same price-performance as OCPUs with continuous improvements over time. Updating to the ECPU and storage billing metrics provides the following additional benefits:
  • Lower entry cost.
  • Finer granularity for scaling the data warehouse.
  • Lower storage costs.
Refer to the ECPU billing metric FAQ for more details about ECPUs and associated benefits.
This switchover will impact your service as follows:
  • When you sign into the Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console, you'll see the provisioned capacity stated in ECPUs.
  • Any scale up done by you for Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse will thereafter be billed against the replacement ECPU billing metrics based on your rate card for OCI billing.
  • All database tools will be turned off by default. If you've already been using any of these tools such as APEX, then no data loss will occur when they're turned off. You can turn them on from the Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console. If you wish to use database tools such as OML, Graph Studio or Data Transforms, then you've to allocate dedicated ECPUs that will consume credits against your Universal Credits (UCC) subscription. For more information, see Manage Autonomous Database Built-in Tools.

Reach out to your Oracle contact and review the Universal Credits (UCC) subscription agreement and make sure you understand the ECPU billing metric. If you have general questions about preparing for this change, then contact your Oracle account team, or connect through Fusion Analytics Warehouse customer forum or create a service request (SR) on My Oracle Support.
