Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service Subscription

Learn how to manage Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service subscriptions and it's users.

This article has the following topics:

Service Limits

Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service has various default limits. Whenever you create an Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service table, the system ensures that your requests are within the bounds of the specified limit. When creating On Demand capacity tables, the On Demand Capacity max limits will be used during the validation.

Oracle Cloud tenancies are typically active in more than one region. You can view this as a single large tenancy, however, the Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service takes the combination of tenancy OCID and region location to establish some of the limits (region-level limits). Additionally, it has limits at the table level. For detailed list of service limits, see Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service Limits

You can view the existing limits for Read Units, Write Units, and Table size for your region from the Limits, Quotas, and Usage page in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console as shown below. This example shows the values for the Ashburn region. You see the service limit, the current usage, and the current availability for each of the limits. Note that the availability can be affected by quota policies on either this compartment or its parent compartment.

You can increase your service limits by submitting a request either from Limits, Quotas, and Usage page in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console or using the TableRequest API as shown below. This is an example service limit update request for increasing the read units from 100000 to 110000 in the Ashburn region.

See About Service Limits and Usage in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation.

Service Quotas

You can use quotas to determine how other users allocate Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service resources across compartments in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. A compartment is a collection of related resources (such as instances, virtual cloud networks, block volumes) that can be accessed only by certain groups that have been given permission by an administrator. Whenever you create an Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service table or scale up the provisioned throughput or storage, the system ensures that your requests are within the bounds of the quota for that compartment.

This table lists the Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service quotas that you can reference.

Name Scope Description
read-unit-count Regional Read Unit Count
write-unit-count Regional Write Unit Count
table-size-gb Regional Table Size (GB)

You can set quotas using the Console or API. You can execute quota statements from the Quota Policies page under the Governance option in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.

Example Quota Statements for Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service

  • Limit the number of Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service read units that users can allocate to tables they create in my_compartment to 20,000.
    set nosql quota read-unit-count to 20000 in compartment my_compartment

    If you do not specify any region, then the quota will be set to the entire tenancy, which means it applies to all regions. However, you can set a specific quota to one region alone by applying a filter condition in the set clause and specifying the name of one particular region as shown below.

    Limit the number of Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service read units that users can allocate to tables they create in the region us-phoenix-1 to 10,000.
    set nosql quota read-unit-count to 10000 
    in compartment my_compartment where request.region = us-phoenix-1

    In this example, Only the Phoenix region will have a read unit count quota of 10000.

  • Limit the number of Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service write units that users can allocate to tables they create in my_compartment to 5,000.
    set nosql quota write-unit-count to 5000 in compartment my_compartment
  • Limit the maximum storage space of Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service that users can allocate to tables they create in my_compartment to 1,000 GB.
    set nosql quota table-size-gb to 1000 in compartment my_compartment

See About Compartment Quotas in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation.

Service Events

Actions that you perform on Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service tables emit events.

You can define rules that trigger a specific action when an event occurs. For example, you might define a rule that sends a notification to administrators when someone drops a table. See Overview of Events and Get Started with Events in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation.

This table lists the Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service events that you can reference.

Service Metrics

Learn about the metrics emitted by the metric namespace oci_nosql (Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service).

Metrics for Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service include the following dimensions:
  • RESOURCEID

    The OCID of the NoSQL Table in the Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service.

    Note

    OCID is an Oracle-assigned unique ID that is included as part of the resource's information in both the console and API.

  • TABLENAME

    The name of the NoSQL table in the Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service.

Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service sends metrics to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring Service. You can view or create alarms on these metrics using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console SDKs or CLI. See OCI SDKs and CLI in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation.

Data Regions and Associated Service Endpoints

Learn about the data regions supported for Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service and access region-specific service endpoints.

Data Regions

To start with Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service, you must create an account (either for free trial or to purchase provisioning). Along with other details, the account application requires you to choose the default data region.

If your application is running under your tenancy on an OCI host in the same region, you should configure your VCN to route all NDCS traffic through the Service Gateway. See Access to Oracle Services: Service Gateway for more details.

Service Endpoints Associated with Data Regions

A service endpoint is the regional network access point to the Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service. The general format of a region endpoint is https://nosql.{region}.oci.oraclecloud.com. For example, the service endpoint for the Ashburn Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service region identifier in North America region is https://nosql.us-ashburn-1.oci.oraclecloud.com. Different data regions have different {region} components of their URLs.

This table lists the service endpoints for all the data regions which are supported by Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service. See Service Availability for the latest information about the regions that support Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service.
