Oracle is taking flak over the in-memory database option in Oracle Database 12c, released publicly on Wednesday. The trouble began when Kevin Closson, formerly the performance architect in Oracle’s Exadata development group, pointed out that the option is turned on by default. Oracle has denied his assertion. The option is easy to turn on by accident, and it should have a default initialization setting that renders it more dormant, Closson maintained. Inadvertently turning on the IMDB could be expensive.
