pl/sql code to take a hot backup? :confused:

You can either use the rman solution suggested by previous poster or do it the good-n-old way.

Put tablespaces in backup mode
Copy datafiles
Take tablespaces out of backup mode

Be sure your database is in archivelog mode and you are backing up your archivelogs.

I wrote our current backup script to use PL/SQL to generate the SQL backup script which is then run to put each tablespace into backup mode so that its datafiles can be backed up and gzipped. So yes PL/SQL might make sense.

Although, we are in the process of converting to RMAN. The feature set in 10g and especially 11g is just too good. I have a script that either clones or sets up a standby database all using RMAN, on the same or a different server as the source db.

hmmm...is it like that?

SQL>alter tablespace users begin backup;
SQL> $ copy .........

best method is to use rman... if you take user managed backup(that is putting tablespace in begin backup mode) there can be many problems like excessive redo generation...etc..so best way is to use rman

I can understand that, no problem but... original post was worded in a way it suggests PL/SQL would be the primary -or most used - tool to take a hot backup which is not the case.

Following the same line of thinking I few years ago I might said "how to take hot backup with out calling Mark?"... just because Mark was the primary responsible of backups :D

thanks to all for this.....and sory for late reply iam unfair...tkuuuu
