Quick start process
The complete process for using a Flagship Edition cluster instance is as follows:
- Create a cluster instance: Create a Flagship Edition cluster instance.
- Create a tenant: Create tenants of different workload types within the cluster.
- Connect to the database: Configure the application and network, including public or private endpoints and allowlists, and connect to the database by using a client.
Concepts
Flagship Edition
Flagship Edition is a standardized OceanBase Cloud cluster architecture designed to support unified architecture evolution. It has the following characteristics:
- Multi-workload integration: A single cluster supports creating tenants with various workloads, including Transactional (TP), Key-Value (KV), and Analytical Processing (AP) types.
- Multi-ecosystem compatibility: Supports multiple compatibility modes for MySQL, Oracle, HBase API, and Table API.
- Scenario-based out-of-the-box use: Provides pre-configured parameter templates for simple OLTP transactions, complex OLTP transactions, HTAP mixed workloads, and online OLAP analysis.
Tenant compatibility modes
Flagship Edition clusters support tenants in the following compatibility modes:
Compatibility Mode |
Description |
Application scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| MySQL Compatibility Mode | Highly compatible with MySQL syntax and supports the MySQL protocol. | Online transactions, web applications, and mobile Internet applications |
| Oracle Compatibility Mode | Highly compatible with Oracle syntax and supports PL/SQL. | Core business systems migrated from Oracle |
| HBase API Compatibility Mode | Compatible with HBase APIs and supports wide-table storage | Massive data storage, time-series data, and log storage |
| Table API Compatibility Mode | Provides the Table API for structured data storage | Key-value storage, metadata management, and configuration centers |
Parameter template description
When creating a tenant, you can select an appropriate parameter template based on your business scenario:
Parameter Template |
Description |
Application scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| OLTP Simple Transactions | Optimized for simple transaction processing | Scenarios with short transactions, high concurrency, and predominantly point queries |
| OLTP Complex Transactions | Optimized for complex transaction processing | Scenarios involving long transactions, complex SQL statements, or multi-table joins |
| HTAP Mixed Workloads | Balances transaction processing and analytical queries | Scenarios that require both transaction processing and real-time analysis |
| OLAP Online Analytics | Optimized for analytical queries | Complex queries, report analysis, and data warehouse scenarios |
Note
Tenants in HBase API compatibility mode or Table API compatibility mode do not support parameter template selection.
