> Query Oracle RMAN without restoring a DB
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: DRILL-6012
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-6012
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Storage - Other
> Reporter: Daniel Petisme
> Priority: Minor
>
> Oracle backups are stored under a RMAN (Recovery Manager) format.
> https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmquick.htm
> With the raise of BigData, we want to query all possible data. Nevertheless,
> is sometimes hard to get access to actual living data where backups are often
> easy to get but hard to restore properly.
> The aim of this feature would be to query the RMAN file without actually
> restoring the database. I don't know if it's even feasible but would be a
> great help to ease the data access.
> As far as I know, RMAN are binary formats (I guess propriatary) which
> contains some structure meta-data (indices, for instance) and the actual data.
> IMHO, in that context performance is not a first-class constraint is more an
> exploration tool I have in mind.
> Does make sense? What's you thoughts on this idea ?
