PL/SQL code changes and view changes installed
in the privacy of a new edition
New data changes made to new
columns/tables not seen by old edition
Editioning view exposes a private
projection of a table into each edition
Crossedition trigger propagates changes made by
old edition into new editions columns, or vice-versa

! Limited by tape performance of 14 tape drives used in test
Incremental backup to tape at 10% change rate: 70TB/hr
Single RMAN backup channel runs full backup to disk at 2.5 TB/hr
Data Guard
Full DR demonstrated with uncompressed loads over 2TB/hour
Compressed tables reduce redo & net traffic enhancing Data Guard
