Cloning Databases (from cloned databases)

Hi All,

This is neto from Brazil

How are you?

To clone a database

Nowadays, to clone databases in seconds and without requiring additional storage space is a simple task for DBA's (of course with NetApp technology)

Creating a CLONE from Production Database (SPANKY3)

The purpose of cloning databases is for QA, dev, testing patches... all testing purposes. But, why not to make backups and clones from the cloned database? where a clone of the clone database can help DBA's to have backups and clones of their testing environments. Again, with NetApp this is very easy.

Creating another CLONE from cloned database (GOLDEN) - 2nd clone

Summary:

golden - cloned database from spanky3

dev - cloned database from golden

QA - cloned database from dev

Etc, etc, etc

All the best
