Hi,

We are planning to add a number of interfaces in our system. So, going forward, our oracle database will be exchange data with many systems (15 in number).
Hence, we would have to do capacity planning under which we will have to calculate how much more disk space & processing capacity we would require.

IS ther any particular standard which needs to be followed or the calculations need to be done on the basis of experience?
OR we also need to consider the approximate number of records which would be stored & exchanged with different systems.

It would be highly appreciated if some oracle expert imparts his/her valuable knowledge on the capacity planning front.

Regards,
Jasjot

Capacity planning is basicaly depends on number of things.

1. how much data you currently have?
2. What is growth rate of your database.How much database size increase per week or month.
3.What is your company's retention policy.How much data you want to keep.Like 1 year (OLTP) or 10 year(DW).
4.What are yur expectation of data growth.Will the data growth will be uniform or it will increase.

Based on all things you can do capacity planning and think of primary and secondary storages.

thanks
Mehtab

It is excellent.and could you give us more details?
for example if I can make clear how many records I will keep,then how can I convert to migabytes or gigabytes?

Have a look in the DBA_TABLES view.
assuming you've analysed your tables, the column AVG_ROW_LEN will tell you the average number of bytes taken up by a row in your table.
