Master/master with diff username possible ?
Hello, We are running 8.1.7 on Solaris 8 on E4500. We need to replicate one table from one schema to 3 other schema and the replicate these 3 schemas to other sites. We can't use snapshot on snapshots because Oracle will do a complete refresh each time. Is there any trick to replicate to different schema with master/master. If you have any advice please let me know. Thanks H.

KK - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2001 6:51 PM Subject: RE: OT -- suggestions to ensure nerdiness in potential IT staff Famous...I hope at least recognized by my deeds. It's funny this is coming up, I am currently in the middle of starting a dream of mine. Basically I am starting a non profit organization designed to teach these hot in demand IT skills to a resource this country has overlooked-young inner city minorities. I know there are people already trying to do similar stuff and oracle has there program they're working on with high schools, but I feel that my business plan and ideas will be superior to what's currently out there, not to mention that I will have an execution plan these kids will latch onto, different from the traditional high school setting they're tired of. I feel that I am an example of what I can do with them, as I said I didn't go to college for CIS, am not a super brain, but I had an interest in computers and also a hunger to make a good living (legally). In the span of three years I have fully changed around my life. I now make good money (I am currently putting my sister through college) and am living a great clean life. Oracle literally kept me out of jail (no need to go into specifics)! I feel this IT route is a new alternative for inner city youth to make it out of the 'hood. This is a more realistic manner to a good life than the traditional routes of making it big in: sports,music,entertainment or going the wrong route and getting into dealing drugs. I am living just as good as most of the drug dealers I know or have come in contact with and being realistic here, these guys are looked up to by the younger kids in the neighborhood. As a kid I always looked up to them and still see the same thing going on today. If I can get these kids to see a different way to attain the same possessions the dealers have (for the most part, that's what it boils down to-money and material objects) and get some in the IT field, I've done my job. I have been teaching the DBA track here at FSU for the last in preparation for the stated above goal and have started to recruit people for the board and also to teach. Today, in fact I received the conformation that I have been given education consent from the New York State Department of Education (yes!), next comes the 501(c) and I'll be quitting my job hoping to get this thing off the ground. In fact Rachel I have had you in mind to ask to join my board but haven't approach or asked the board for input until I was 'official'. Sorry for ranting, any advice (good or bad) will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Ivan
Re: Management server??
You need to install it. The Console talks to a Management Server, which in turn manages the agents and other processes that monitor the database etc. You really oughtta read the basic installation manual.

RE: completely off-topic question...
Believe it or not, OK is short for "Old Knickerbocker" which was the local beloved name of Martin Van Buren, our 8th president. He was born in Kinderhook NY, and his mansion is still there, run by the National Parks service. He ran a very successfull farm, and was very organized. He laid out his "to-do" list every day, and would give his orders to the local workers by initialling everything with "OK". I took the house tour last year, and found this quite intersting!

Hi Fellow DBAs, My company is thinking about dumping EMC (we have everything, symmetrics, connectrix, EDM, cellara etc). In your expert opinion what's a good alternative to go if we really need to replace EMC. Is Hitachi storage good? Does Veritas' backup solution do the stuff EMC/EDM can?

Permissions on dump logs
Hello all, In an Oracle 8.1.7 instance that I have inherited on a Soalris 2.7 server, the owner of the logfiles under $ORACLE_BASE/admin/$ORACLE_SID/adump, bdump, cdump and udump is the UNIX ID oracle, group oinstall. The permissions on these files are 640; in other words, only the oracle ID and any ID in the oinstall group can read these log files. We have a backup process that runs under another ID, with a group of dba. The backup process cannot see these log files in order to back them up. Two questions, first one: If the group dba had been chosen as the SYSDBA and/or SYSOP as part of the installation process, would the dba group have read permissions on these files? Question two: Can something be set to make these files readable by other users? I don't think "_trace_files_public = true" will do it.

IMHO , HP's XP256 or XP512 is very good alternative . I have been using it for almost 1 and half years and I found it very good. Although , I have to do everything from scratch since HP doesn't have any 'best practices' in it yet ( actually we are the first to purchase it in east coast and I ended up doing a lot of research on it ) Now having finally tuned almost all the issues , I have OLTP with 300 ms response time restriction running on it with > 400 TPM rate along with 500 Gigs plus DW .

Re: completely off-topic question...
TANSTAAFL /tan'stah-fl/ [acronym, from Robert Heinlein's classic "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress".] "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch", often invoked when someone is balking at the prospect of using an unpleasantly heavyweight technique, or at the poor quality of some piece of free software, or at the signal-to-noise ratio of unmoderated Usenet newsgroups. "What? Don't tell me I have to implement a database back end to get my address book program to work!" "Well, TANSTAAFL you know." This phrase owes some of its popularity to the high concentration of science-fiction fans and political libertarians in hackerdom. I have read ALL of Heinlein's work multliple times. And, since I read them as they came out, I got the benefit of getting them on the "timeline".

RE: Inserting a Record into a Table
If you are (or will be) using 9i, straight from the manual Inserting Records into the Database A new PL/SQL-only extension of the INSERT statement lets you insert records into database rows using a single variable of type RECORD or %ROWTYPE instead of a list of fields. That makes your code more readable and maintainable. The record type cannot be nested. Also, the number of fields in the record must equal the number of columns listed in the INTO clause, and corresponding fields and columns must have compatible datatypes. An example follows: DECLARE TYPE EmpRec IS RECORD ( emp_idNUMBER(4), job_title VARCHAR2(9), salaryNUMBER(7,2)); emp_info EmpRec; BEGIN emp_info.emp_id := 7975; emp_info.job_title := 'CLERK'; emp_info.salary := 1500; INSERT INTO emp (empno, job, sal) VALUES (emp_info); END; In the example below, you use a %ROWTYPE record. A column list is not needed because the record contains a field for each column in the database table. DECLARE dept_info dept%ROWTYPE; BEGIN dept_info.dept_num := 70; dept_info.dept_name := 'PERSONNEL'; dept_info.location := 'DALLAS'; INSERT INTO dept VALUES (dept_info); END; HTH Raj __ Rajendra Jamadagni MIS, ESPN Inc.

RE: completely off-topic question...
>-where the terms "ok" and "going the whole nine yards" came from I found this bit on the phrase; The phrase "the whole nine yards" is commonly used to mean "everything" or "all the way" as in, "This new minivan has a cell phone, dual climate controls, and a dashboard PEZ dispenser -- the whole nine yards." It's sort of like "the whole ball of wax" or "the whole enchilada." As far as the origin is concerned, that's a bit more difficult to discern. We made the rounds of our Etymology category (under Social Sciences > Linguistics and Languages) and dutifully perused the sites that deal with the history of slang expressions. Our first stop, Wilton's Word and Phrase Origins, did indeed have an entry devoted to "the whole nine yards," but it offers only theories, no conclusions. Some of the suggested possibilities include: nine yards as the length of cloth needed for a particular garment, nine yards as the length of a machine-gun ammunition belt, and nine yards as the amount of cement held in a typical cement-mixer. Unfortunately, Wilton also notes that these theories are chock full of holes. Next up was Jesse's Word of the Day, a daily column by Jesse Sheidlower, Senior Editor of Random House's Reference Department. Last November, Jesse tackled the question of "the whole nine yards" and his very succinct answer was "I don't know." He does offer some of the same theories as Wilton, and, in the process, shoots them down. Plus he gives some bonus possibilities: football, ship sails, burial shrouds. We particularly enjoyed Jesse's discussion of the logic involved in debunking these theories. Finally, when all else fails, we look to the masses for truly outlandish hypotheses. A quick search of DejaNews, the Usenet discussion search engine, lead us to a spirited debate by the denizens of alt.books.david-weber (a sci-fi author). The latest theory seems to be that nine yards is the amount of fabric required to make a Scotsman's kilt.

Re: OT -- suggestions to ensure nerdiness in potential IT
But of course. Not bad. Not the original, but not bad. I thought the plot was better than a lot of the "remakes" being made. They at least had it as though some time had passed and the "original" Zorro was now an old man training a younger man to take his place. Most remakes just use different actors as the original characters. And for an old fan like me, it kinda grates.

Re: huge datafiles/need help
Are you rebuilding indexes with unrecoverable/nologging and parallel clause or simple 'alter index index_name rebuild tablespace tbs_name', which is definately slow then using above options500/600MB indexes may take around 30/35 minutes depending of your parallel clause and cpu availability...

RE: SQL Question
Darren, You would need to use the escape character. Try this, select table_name from dba_tables where table_name like 'EDL-_WORK-_%'ESCAPE'-'; Suhen I have a simple query, but the results are somewhat puzzling select table_name from dba_tables where table_name like 'EDL_WORK_%' and I received the following TABLE_NAME - EDL_WORKSTATION_LOCATION EDL_WORK_AR_ENTITIES Why would I be receiving the first record (EDL_WORKSTATION) if I try EDL_WORK_A% I get the correct result.

Re: SQL Question
Darren, Just as the % character is a wildcard that matches any number of characters, the _ character is a wildcard that matches any single character. So it matches the S in WORKSTATION, and then the % sign matches TATION_LOCATION. hth, Yosi "Browett, Darren" wrote: > I have a simple query, but the results are somewhat puzzling > > select table_name from dba_tables where table_name like 'EDL_WORK_%' > and I received the following > > TABLE_NAME > - > EDL_WORKSTATION_LOCATION > EDL_WORK_AR_ENTITIES > > Why would I be receiving the first record (EDL_WORKSTATION) if I > try EDL_WORK_A% I get the correct result. > > Is there something about the _% combination ? > > To solve the problem I used the substr command as part of the where clause. > > Darren > > > - > Darren Browett P.EngThis message was > transmitted > Systems Admin/DBA using 100% recycled > electrons > Information and Communications Technology. > City of Coquitlam > P:(604) 927 - 3614 > E:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > - > > -- > Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com > -- > Author: Browett, Darren > INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Fat City Network Services-- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 > San Diego, California-- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists > > To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message > to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in > the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L > (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

The situation is like this: In schema1.table1, it does not has a Primary Key and Table1.ASSET_NUM has duplicated records while values in COMPANY_ID are different. For example: ASSET_NUM COMPANY_ID -- -- AA237334 AHI AA237334 DHI On the other hand, in schema2.table2, the corresponding column Table2.ASSET_NUM is defined as a NOT NULL, Primary Key. These tables' definition can't be modified. So, I need to drop the duplicated ASSET_NUM/records from schema1.table1 and then import into schema2.table2. The rule of drop will depend on the priorities of COMPANY_ID (ranking as < Dxx, Axx, Cxx >, from < Keep to Drop >. which means between Axx & Dxx, "Dxx" will be imported. For instances, like the above example, record contains 'AHI' will be dropped. This rule is only depended on the first Character -- substr(company_id, 1,1). ) I thought about: 1/ loop a cursor on whole table1? 2/ just duplicate records and then the rest records will be "insert into table2" directly. Then how do I decide which record to drop? Use a second cursor? 3/ screen all the duplicate record into a temp table and create a PK on that table and then decide… (this sounds very redundant) Any ideas how can I do this?

You also have the option of using an "undo tablespace", which is referred to as automatic undo management.

RE: huge datafiles/need help
Lyuda; 1. Create a new tablespace for the indexes on a seperate drive. Make sure you do this with a much more reasonable datafile size. (Watch it here maybe they did the big size because they were running out of possible files -- see the max_datafiles parm on the Create Database command) 2. Rebuild the indexes over into the new tablespace. Make sure your initial paramater fits in the initial size of the data files. 3. Drop your old Index Tablespace.

Hi Lyuda This is not a nice situation to bee in, but the god new is that oracle can help you since you are using version 8.1.6 !

Re: OT -- suggestions to ensure nerdiness in potential IT staff
I can't really tell if no more answers are coming in or things are just very slow but I'll try to fill in the answers to my questions that have not been answered. Looks like the questions about the floppy drive (or should I say drives as I had the luxury of dual drives) are the ones that need some answers. The manufacture (now gone) was Micropolis and they later made hard drives that we used on our UNIX boxes when we moved off the main frame about ten years ago. The hard sectored disks had holes to separate the sectors (the holes were much to large to separate tracks). Micropolis used a 16 hard sector floppy and then soft sectored each hard sector into two. They had an ad about never so many tracks that showed railroad tracks. Yes, Logo was based on LISP. It was very bad practice to use loops in APL. They were avoided by using vectors. I calculated some very actuate statistical tables for my husband on a DEC-10 using APL and picking the exact (rather than approximated values) out of the vector in about the time frame that this discussion started with - some time in the early 80s. We also had APL on the CP/M machine (a Vector Graphics if anyone is curious) but it didn't have precision of the DEC-10 and later got a DOS version. I know it was the thing to try to do everything in one line but it was also possible to write readable code (as long as you knew the symbols) and of course there was always the lamp for comments. Speaking of on the CP/M machine and later a DOS version, I would think that the word processor that was being asked about was probably WordStar. We had that one on the CP/M machine (it was considered THE word processor at that time) and then DOS before WordPerfect. Actually had a strange experience installing the DOS version. I can't remember how much memory we had on that machine but it was a lot for it's day and WordStar gave me an error that I had insufficient memory. After checking everything I could think of, I installed a RAM disk to cut the memory down to a size mentioned in the documentation and low and behold the WordStar worked. IBM standard label tapes could actually be cartridges (3480/3490 or are those obsolute now?). The thing about them (besides EBCDIC which no one not on an IBM used) is that they had three files for one logical file. The header and footer(?) contained documention. In addition to the format stuff they could contain: a file name, the operating system under which the file was written, the date, and I think even some sort of machine ID. If the first file, the header also had a volumn ID. I did help to set up a system in perl under AIX that would compare the information in a header with information that we had other places including an Oracle database, did some other things, and put information into the database. It would have been a lot harder without those standard label tapes. Yes, I have used punch cards. The first computer I used was an IBM/1620. My first work with stat packages, SAS, SPSS, BMDP, was on a remote machine where the job was submitted on punch cards and if I remember correctly the jobs were not run when submitted but at a later time so that an out of order card or incorrectly punched one could make things a very slow process.

Re: truncate during query
Ben, You could test this yourself in about a minute. I don't have a db in front of me, but I'm pretty sure the truncate, or any ddl operation, will fail telling you it couldn't get a nowait lock. Try it. Create a table, say t (a varchar2(1)); Then, insert into t ('x'); Then insert into t select * from t; Do this many, many times until it takes several seconds to execute. (If you commit between those inserts, it'll be easier on your rollbacks.) When you have all these rows inserted, open another SQL session. Type truncate table t; but DONT press enter yet. Back in the first window, run a long query on t, maybe union the query with itself a few times, so that the query takes 10 or 11 seconds to execute; that should give you enough time to switch to the truncate window and hit enter. Then see what happens, and you'll have your answer. Simple, no? Ben Poels wrote: > Hi > > What happens if you truncate a table, or drop an index, that > is currently in use by a long running query?

OT (fwd) Looking to resurrect .ZZZ archive file from Kaypro/CPM days
Since I don't think this got a usable reply on list it came from and it sounds like some people on this list had a Kaypro, I decided to see if we are geeky enough that someone has an answer. The closest I got to finding a solution at the time was someone who said it sounded familiar - didn't have a Kaypro and my CP/M machine is long gone. Most of the people on the list it came from probably would not consider themselves geeks and I'm sure have wondered what I'm good for when I displayed such tendencies.

Re: NOARCHIVELOG, ONLINE redolog corrupted - solved
Joe, That's true, but only if the current logs are not needed for instance or media recovery. For example if you want to open from a cold backup and you don't have the online logs you can fake recovery and then open resetlogs and it will recreate them for you: startup mount recover database until cancel -- you should get a message saying media recovery complete or not needed since everything is already in sync if it's a true cold backup alter database open resetlogs; You have to do the recover database until cancel to "fake" an incomplete recovery so you can then open with resetlogs; otherwise you'll get an error saying resetlogs isn't needed. Whenever you open with resetlogs, new logs will be created if they don't exist. In fact a trick to get a db open quicker when using resetlogs if you have a large # of online log groups and members is to drop all except the bare minimum (2 groups, 1 member each) to open the db. Then once the db is open you can add the additional members and groups.

Re: huge datafiles/need help
Lyuda, You didn't say if you have other disk space available or not. If you do I would create the index/indexes tablespace/s on different drives then drop them from the original location. After you get breathing room you can reorg the database to a more comfortable setup. When you have removed the indexes you will have to exp/imp the tables to free up the fragments in the tablespace.

Re: computer history stories
I joined the USN in 1966 to avoid the draft. I got sent to Data Systems Technician school for computer training. We used a Univac CADET (Can't Add & Doesn't Even Try); which used a lookup matrix in place of real adder logic. It had 4K worth of 18 bit word magnetic core RAM. The programs were entered in octal via toggle switches in actual machine code; not even assembler. All too frequently the memory would get zapped by a ship that turned on its radar for testing. :-( After I got out of the Navy & went to collge I got to use a real computer, the IBM 360/40 running PCP. My 1st high level language was Fortran 2; which was so MUCH easier to use than machine code.

RE: OT -- suggestions to ensure nerdiness in potential IT staff
Title: RE: OT -- suggestions to ensure nerdiness in potential IT staff Famous...I hope at least recognized by my deeds. It's funny this is coming up, I am currently in the middle of starting a dream of mine. Basically I am starting a non profit organization designed to teach these hot in demand IT skills to a resource this country has overlooked-young inner city minorities. I know there are people already trying to do similar stuff and oracle has there program they're working on with high schools, but I feel that my business plan and ideas will be superior to what's currently out there, not to mention that I will have an execution plan these kids will latch onto, different from the traditional high school setting they're tired of. I feel that I am an example of what I can do with them, as I said I didn't go to college for CIS, am not a super brain, but I had an interest in computers and also a hunger to make a good living (legally). In the span of three years I have fully changed around my life. I now make good money (I am currently putting my sister through college) and am living a great clean life. Oracle literally kept me out of jail (no need to go into specifics)! I feel this IT route is a new alternative for inner city youth to make it out of the 'hood. This is a more realistic manner to a good life than the traditional routes of making it big in: sports,music,entertainment or going the wrong route and getting into dealing drugs. I am living just as good as most of the drug dealers I know or have come in contact with and being realistic here, these guys are looked up to by the younger kids in the neighborhood. As a kid I always looked up to them and still see the same thing going on today. If I can get these kids to see a different way to attain the same possessions the dealers have (for the most part, that's what it boils down to-money and material objects) and get some in the IT field, I've done my job. I have been teaching the DBA track here at FSU for the last in preparation for the stated above goal and have started to recruit people for the board and also to teach. Today, in fact I received the conformation that I have been given education consent from the New York State Department of Education (yes!), next comes the 501(c) and I'll be quitting my job hoping to get this thing off the ground. In fact Rachel I have had you in mind to ask to join my board but haven't approach or asked the board for input until I was 'official'. Sorry for ranting, any advice (good or bad) will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Ivan

ot - rural anecdotes
dewd, to me grits is something you eat with poke salad, black eye peas and okra! during part of my wasted youth i lived in a cowboy shack on a ranch in the northern sierra nevada (plumas county, gennessee valley). tin roof, uninsulated walls/floor, cold water in winter, a small wood burning stove only for heat, 5 degrees f. at night outside, and inside about 15 minues after the fire burned out. the shack was originally a carriage barn for the stage coaches that came from Beckwourth, and the nevada border, over the pass just up the road. the ranch was one of the first ones established in that valley since it was a stage stop. they had great water rights and therefore good pastures. work was pulling beaver dams out of the irrigation ditches, trying to convince the loony old "okie" neighbors to stop shooting onto the property at the coyotes that ate their kitty cats (for a while it was sufficient to tell them that some pot growers or indians had been sighted several miles off on some side dirt road and they'd be gone for hours with their full arsenal in tow, but eventually they wised up), pulling cows and work horses off barb wire fences when they got stuck, chasing them out of the alfalfa fields so they didn't bloat, thinning timber &timber falling, milling lumber, baling hay, misc. construction, etc. it was a very beautiful area, few summer tourists, lots of drunk crazy deer hunters from the city in the fall, otherwise quiet, but after the environmentalists shutdown the timber industry (mostly by driving small family operations out) almost everybody was poor as hell unless they had inherited land, or worked for the gummint/etc. the general observation was that most city folk don't have the skills to adapt to a *really* rural existence for the long run, so make sure you know what you are getting into if you go far away from the city! in one of the "foothill" areas east of sacramento where my retired parents live, the real estate people do good business selling and reselling rural property to city people. the city people think that they can commute down the hill, or to the bay area, to their good paying jobs, and then live the good rural life on the weekends. problem is that if you go too far out, the lack of infrastructure means that maintaining property is a *lot* more work than in the suburbs. working commuter people get tired of after about 3 years, and move back to the suburbs. there are some high tech businesses just outside the fringe of the edge cities, and for the people that can get jobs in those places and find semi-rural properties that still have decent infrastructure, it is ideal (e.g., Grass Valley and Nevada City, Chico?). if you want to see how stupid american politics is, do a web search on "quincy library" and look for how the environmental groups that get their money from city people actually tried to block economic & environmental reforms by a coalition of local ecology people, workers, business and the forest service. some good general reading on the tragic decline of rural american culture & life is by Wendell Berry, e.g. "Unsettling of America". also Wallace Stegner is good on the history & lifeworld of westerners, "Beyond the Hundredth Meridian", "Angle of Repose", and so forth. regards, ep -- > From: "Kevin Kostyszyn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2001 11:21:37 -0400 > Subject: RE: OT about to peeve off the vegatarians: RE: OT RE: > ...
