A multi-user interactive session is one in which a client interacts with a database that is being accessed simultaneously by multiple users.
As a database administrator (DBA), you can use a multi-user interactive session to perform database administration tasks, such as:
- Online backup of a database
- Online dumping and loading of data
- Online adding files to the database
- Online enablement of after-imaging
- Online enablement of automatic AI file management
- Online index activation for a specific index
- Online index activation or index rebuild for a specific tenant or tenant group, if you have a multi-tenant database
- Online moving of a table or index for a specific tenant or tenant group
- Online index activation or index rebuild for a specific table partition, if you have a table-partitioned database
- Online moving of a table or index for a specific table partition
