RE: When optimizer reevaluate SQL statement

2001-09-14 Thread Hillman, Alex

!! Please do not post Off Topic to this List !!

You mean it invalidates SQL which has references to the newly analyzed
objects, not all SQL in cache - right? Also are you sure that creating index
on table will invalidate SQL which references this table or view based on
this table?

Chris & list,

The last time I checked, an ANALYZE also invalidates
the SQL in the shared pool, to force a parse and
rebuild of the execution plan, on the next execution
of the SQL statement.

Quest bought EZSQL

!! Please do not post Off Topic to this List !!

Guys, go to www.ezsql.net and read about it. Quest will not sell new
licences - apparently EZSQL was bought to suppress competition for TOAD and
SQL Navigator. It reminds me Marks explanation about capitalizm - that
capitalizm suppress innovations when they are thretening profits.

Let's assume that SQL statement was parsed by user X. If this or another
user reexecute this same statement what are the conditions that this SQL
statement will be reparsed? Let's assume that privileges are not changed and
tables and/or views are not dropped and views are not changed. And optimizer
parameters are not changed. First come to mind is dropping index. What about
reanalizing one of the object - theoretically should also reparse. Anything
else?

Also is there possibility to force reparsing of SQL statement if let say
index was added - short of flashing shared pool?

No, the rbo does not support bitmap indexes or any other Oracle8 or greater
feature (such as partitioning, etc.). To use these features, you must set
optimizer_mode to CHOOSE, FIRST_ROWS or ALL_ROWS, which will invoke the cbo.

RE: Hardware requirements when migration oracle from NT to Li

Take what you have, strip out one processor since I don't think Red Hat can
use
more than one processor, and have fun.  BTW: Your duhvelepors will probably
see
a 100% performance boost since Linux has a lot less overhead than NT.

When optimizer reevaluate SQL statement

2001-09-06 Thread Hillman, Alex

Let's assume that SQL statement was parsed by user X. If this or another
user reexecute this same statement what are the conditions that this SQL
statement will be reparsed? Let's assume that privileges are not changed and
tables and/or views are not dropped and views are not changed. And optimizer
parameters are not changed. First come to mind is dropping index. What about
reanalizing one of the object - theoretically should also reparse. Anything
else?

Also is there possibility to force reparsing of SQL statement if let say
index was added - short of flashing shared pool?

RE: High DML Table - Suggestions??

2001-08-20 Thread Hillman, Alex

Also I would have high PCTFREE to lessen number of records per block - if
you will have a lot of buffer busy waits. If you have enough memory - simply
increase size of KEEP pool to get enough space for needed number of CR
blocks. You will have to experiment with size of KEEP pool and
v$buffer_pool_statistics - purpose to eliminate physical reads.

Alex Hillman

Don't put it in a buffer keep because of the amount of
consistent gets the table could have. It seems to be a
high volatile table.

Maybe it is too late but you should look on the
initrans, freelist of the table. Also if the table has
foreign keys, talk with Development to leave the table
without them. I should consider to partition the
tablemaybe a hash one.

I knew that this was incorrect answer - and instead of pointing that I asked

Alex:

This is a fallacy that's been around since Oracle 6. In actuality, one
wants to set the initial and next extents of a temporary tablespace to
the same size as the size of the average sort in memory to ensure that
most disk sorts can be accommodated within a single temporary tablespace
extent. This avoids the unnecessary overhead of extent allocation. You
can determine the size of the average disk sort with the following
query:

SELECT DECODE(disk_sorts, NULL, 0, 0, 0, ROUND((blocks_written *
block_size) / disk_sorts, 0)) AS avg_sort_size
  FROM (SELECT VALUE AS disk_sorts
  FROM sys.v_$sysstat
 WHERE name = 'sorts (disk)')
 , (SELECT NVL(SUM(fs.phyblkwrt), 0) AS blocks_written
  FROM dba_data_files df
 , sys.v_$filestat fs
 , dba_tablespaces ts
 WHERE df.file_id = fs.file#
   AND df.tablespace_name = ts.tablespace_name
   AND ts.contents = 'TEMPORARY')
 , (SELECT TO_NUMBER(VALUE) AS block_size
  FROM sys.v_$parameter
 WHERE name LIKE 'db_block_size');

For example, I just ran this query against one of our production systems
and it said the average disk sort was 61,349,888 bytes. Now, if I set
sort_area_size to just 1M (1,048,576), then Oracle would have to do an
additional 58 extent allocations, if the extents are not already present
in a temporary tablespace, and would possibly increase the number of
multiblock reads necessary to fetch the data in merging together the
sorted result set.

For more information on this topic, take a look at Steve Adams' website
http://www.ixora.com.au.

Hi

In case of Temporary Tablespace the Initital segemnt and next segment
should be equal to the sort_area_size parameter.

Hello all,

I have a strage error. 

'ORA-01658: unable to create INITIAL extent for segment in tablespace
TEMP'. The clients TEMP tablespace is 200M. The sql  is:- 

SELECT a.username, length(sql_text),
substr(sql_text,1,100) as "SQL TEXT",
substr(sql_text,101,250) as "Second TEXT",
substr(sql_text,351,250) as "Third TEXT",

FROM sys.dba_users a, v$session, v$sqlarea
WHERE parsing_user_id=user_id AND address=sql_address(+)
ORDER BY executions desc
/ 

Can you please explain why I am getting this error and cannot run the
simple SQL statement?

Rachel,

I can see what he is proposing, but I'm not sure anyone would care.  I
know
I can't take the datafiles from one of our HP-UX servers and use them to
create
a database on NT for instance.  Wish I could for our Support Magic junk.  In
that case they do a bunch of things (like create objects) as SYS which never
get
included in an export.  The problem that I see is that there is a toolset
that
currently exists, namely export & import, that work cross platform with no
problems.  Just not at the datafile level.  And although that type of tool
would
be interesting to me it would not be of much value since I've only the one
problem.

it doesn't sound like an ftp type tool. If I am reading this correctly, he 
is proposing to provide a tool that copies datafiles directly from one OS to

another.

While this is an interesting trick, I'm not sure there's a large market for 
it.

or two they are going to revolt and then I'll have my boss breathing down
my neck.   So if anyone has any ideas of what I might try, please let me
know.

Thanks,

Which version of Oracle.

>From 8.1.6 onwards, dbms_system contains
a call similar to set_sql_trace_in_session
which is name something like:
set_boll_param_in_session. Describe
dbms_system to check the proper

RE: How to locate who dropped a view using log miner?

2001-08-08 Thread Hillman, Alex



Strange how Oracle can make 
complicated things right and very simple things very bad. Example - the same 
logminer. Looks like interface was done by brain dead people. I am not talking 
about the bugs. Also database assistant. This is a task for HS student - very 
simple GUI etc. and even after several reincarnations there are a lot of 
bugs.

  Intentional or because you didnt have an up to date dictionary

  I'll be the last to defend oracle corp but that was version 1 of 
  logminer, before that you had basically nothing or pay for a 3rd party 
  tool.
   
  up thru 8.1.7 there is no support for DDL, never was and never will be in

One more idea, set up www.gotomypc.com on a computer and allow the client

are doing.  I use it and it is excellent.  It requires no software for the
client and you could have it running in as little as 5-10 minutes.

Hi,
I am experiencing a problem with sqlloader not being able to finish a large
load.  It tries to load between 1 and 2 millions records.  Sometime during
the load it just dies. I see an attempt to create a log file but the file
size remains 0 bytes.  It remains 0 size until the next day when new process
kicks off.  The described scenario occurs day after day.  It is a cron job
kicked from a batch file running multiple loads simultaneously.  There are
two particular loads that die every day...
Anyone has any idea?
Thank you for your help

"The "ONLINE" option of "ALTER INDEX .. REBUILD ONLINE" was introduced
  in Oracle8i. This feature enables an index to be rebuilt whilst DML
  continues against the table.  This bug can produce a corrupt index when
  using the REBUILD ONLINE functionality thus:

Once an online rebuild has begun, any user transaction that updates the
index will generate corrupt undo which is written to the rollback
segment
and redo log. If this corrupt undo is applied either due to process
death or instance death, or following a point in time recovery, it will
corrupt the index (or IOT). A user session rollback will not introduce
the corruption.

  This problem can result in an index/table data mismatch.
  Eg: There may be an index entry with no matching table row.

  The same problem exists when performing a "MOVE ONLINE" of an IOT (index
  only table)."

Buyer beware.  I always use 'alter index indexname rebuild;'.

Use the alter index rebuild command.  It uses the existing index to build
the new one rather than going to the table.

To completely install the DBMS_PROFILER package, run:

1. $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/profload.sql - to install the package (run as
SYS)

2. $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/proftab.sql - to create the appropriate tables
for the package. You can either run this script in the schema of the user
who is going to use DBMS_PROFILER or, as I do, run it as SYSTEM, then create
the appropriate synonyms and grant the appropriate permissions to use the
tables.

Hi guys

Thanx everyone, I found what was going on.  A special thank-you to Raj for
pointing out the dbms_profiler, what a wonderful tool.  Using that tool I
discover that it was my select, and not the parsing or inserts, that were
causing the problem.  I created a bunch of indexes for all my dimension
tables, and voilà...  Down to 500 rows in 5 seconds.  I love that list :-)

FYI: SGA is fine, hit ratio ok, on that side, server and DB are going well,
it was really my  coding or pl/sql the problem.  Now I know I was not
helping my code at all.

Thanks again to everyone who helped.  Merci Steph, je te répond bientôt...

RE: Solution (sorta) - Re: Another Braindead Friday...

Maybe use row security option using DBMS_RLS package - if you on 8i. In this
case you can give users select on the table but restrain them what data thay
can see. And then create views if you need akso restrain columns that they
can see.

Well, thanks to all for the excellent recomendations, but it turns out
to be a moot point.  Access to the data _must_ be constrained by the
security requirements of the system, so I'm turning it over to any
Damagers who haven't departed for the "Front 9" yet.

Among the suggestions:  
--grant select "with admin option" or "with grant option" to the view
owner.
--grant create view to end users.
--create a stored proc to generate views on the fly in each end users
schema or in the table owner's schema with the necessary grants.

Thanks Again and Happy Friday,

Scott

RE: deletion of data from a large table

Hi folks,

Rick Cale was correct in saying that a truncate would release the storage by
default.
The only other option is to drop and recreate the table.

Oracle will only release allocated storage when it is specifically asked to.
The overhead on having a process monitoring which space it can drop would be
prohibitive and needless. ( Imagine an example where an interface table is
constantly filled and emptied - do you really want the storage to be
constantly
allocated and deallocated? ).

Coalescing the tablespace will group adjacent free extents together but will
have no effect on allocated blocks.

Hi All,
   I have deleted 3 lakhs records from a large table. But there is no effect
on tablespace i.e. before I delete the data freespace in TS is 100MB , after
deletion also it is showing 100MB. What could be the reason ? How to get the
freespace after deleting the data ?
Thanks

RE: Locally managed tablespaces

It does not need to do it. Also SMON will coalesce only if pctincrease>0 and
this is not a good idea.

consider this also..
if u make a tablespace as LMT, the SMON process is not going to coalesce it
automatically..
as it in the case of dictionary managed TS.

if i'm wrong.. pls correct.

RE: Locally managed tablespaces

2001-07-19 Thread Hillman, Alex

You canuse any storage parameters you like but oracle will ignore them exept
for initial for LMT with autoallocate. I would personally do not use
autoallocate. Also you cannot use autoallocate for temporary tablespace and
shouldn't use it for rollback.

I am creating a new database and decided to go with locally managed
tablespaces.  I was going to go with autoallocate because the best I can
tell the only possible drawback with this is a little wasted space.
However, I was under the impression that you could not specify a next in the
storage clause of a table creation.  Yet you can.  So what happens if I have
a next defined?  Do they pretty much just throw that away or should I really
not define it?

RE: Oracle Apps customization help working with consultants

2001-07-19 Thread Hillman, Alex

Looks like they  are doing most things right. Instead of fighting with them
I would try to learn as much as possible from them.

Alex Hillman

-Original Message-
Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 7:01 PM
To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L


First some background

We are running on Unix 8.1.6 with 11i Apps.  I know very little about Oracle
Apps and I am the first DBA hired in house who has walked into several
projects mid streams that consultants are working on and they continue to
exclude me from design meeting and I get little or no information about the
project.

A consulting group is customizing 11i Apps.  Part of this involves an EDI
application that will take in files load them into staging tables that then
will be loaded into the appropriate 11i App table.  There are various Oracle
and Crystal Reports that will be extracting information from these tables as
well.  Why use both... go figure... they are using Crystal for some reports
and Oracle Reports for others.  Just like some of the screens are being done
in Forms and some done in ASP.

These custom EDI app tables have 10 attribute columns defined as
varchar2(100) in the middle of the table.  These are extra columns to that
may be used in the future for what ever reason.  I have asked these be
removed and real column names and data types be added as needed.  They
refuse saying they will have to redesign the forms they have created to use
with these tables.  Isn't is reasonable that the Forms should also reflect
real column names not Attribute 1...10?  Isn't it better to add columns to
tables as I need them with an appropriate name and data type?  At the very
least I asked that they put these columns at the end of the table.  They
have agreed to this.   

They are also using a lot of sequences for Primary Keys instead of using
columns from the table that would make an intelligent primary key and would
be unique.  

They also have many columns as NUMBER that could be defined as NUMBER(3) or
NUMBER(4).  Is there any pros or cons to using NUMBER without defining a
data length?   That is besides the obvious that NUMBER you don't have to
worry about losing precision data precision.

Also they use a lot of char(1) in defining what they think will only be one
character fields.  I was under the impression that it was better to use
varchar2(1)?  Any comments...  This is probably a trivial issue but I would
like to know people's opinions.

I am just a bit brain dead from arguing with them anyway about using a
consistence naming convention, including me on the database design, etc.
Even with renaming a column I get "We are on a tight schedule and this would
put us behind".   Or this is how Oracle Apps works.  My point is that Oracle
Apps as a generic product and this EDI application shouldn't be made generic
but specific to our company needs.  That is not putting in this Attribute
fields into all the EDI tables, using intelligent keys not sequence numbers,
defining the data length of the NUMBER Fields.  

I am really worried about performance since I will have to maintain this in
January after they are long gone.   

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.  Any good books to get me
quickly up to speed on how to tune Oracle Apps?

Thanks very much.

RE: New Listener Question

In 8i you do not need to include services in the listener. Listener itself

First Off, I would like to thank everyone who replied yesterday, your
answers were most helpful!

Today, I am facing a new puzzle.  I am currently running 3 databases on a
server, but only two of them are listed in the listener.ora (bdw and rcvr).
If I do a 'lsnrctl status' it shows a listener for all three databases (bdw
rcvr and webprod).  How is this possible?  I have included my current
listener.ora and output from 'lsnrctl status' ...  Also, people who access
these databases go through VIRTUAL ip's, i.e. the box itself has IP address
xxx.xxx.xxx.11 the bdw ip is xxx.xxx.xxx.31 and the webprod ip is
xxx.xxx.xxx.30
The reason for the virt ip's is for the fail over we have in place, so
people do not have to reconfigure their machines when we move the databases
around.

So by all rights I do not see how anyone can connect, but they are?!?!?!?
WTH???

Thanks again guys ...

RE: Multiple Listeners

Because the more listeners you have - the better. If your damager ask you
how many listeners you are running and you answer one and he/she ( no sexizm
:-)) heard that someone running 2 or 3 ( from another moro... err damager) -
how would you explain why you are running only one. 

I hope that Ross can add more reasons to run at least 2 or better 3
listeners.

It is possible to define 3 listeners on 3 different ports, each one
serving another database, but why would you do dat? You have 3 little
databases and one big bad listener whichs huffs and puffs and connects 
your clients to the instance of their choice. What would you benefit from
having 3 listeners?

RE: private/public rollbacks

2001-07-16 Thread Hillman, Alex

snippet from FM - part of alter rollback segment  offline - can be
done for privete and public rollback segments.

OFFLINE
Specify OFFLINE to take the rollback segment offline. 

If the rollback segment does not contain any information needed to roll back
an active transaction, Oracle takes it offline immediately. 

If the rollback segment does contain information for active transactions,
Oracle makes the rollback segment unavailable for future transactions and
takes it offline after all the active transactions are committed or rolled
back. 

Once the rollback segment is offline, it can be brought online by any
instance. 

To see whether a rollback segment is online or offline, query the data
dictionary view DBA_ROLLBACK_SEGS. Online rollback segments have a STATUS
value of IN_USE. Offline rollback segments have a STATUS value of AVAILABLE.

Lyuda,

The chief advantage of private rollback segments is that you can take
them
offline if/when needed.  A public rollback segment is online always
consequently
making it impossible to get out of the way of batch processes or doing any
kind
of maintenance on, unless your in restricted access mode.

This seems to work for me:


select a.tablespace_name, a.file_name, nvl(b.used,'No')
from dba_data_files a, 
 (select distinct a.file_id "FILE_ID", 'Yes' "USED" from dba_data_files
a, dba_extents b where a.file_id = b.file_id) b
where a.file_id = b.file_id (+)  
order by 1,2 

When I specify a specific set of tablespaces on my system I get :


select a.tablespace_name, a.file_name, nvl(b.used,'No')
from dba_data_files a, 
 (select distinct a.file_id "FILE_ID", 'Yes' "USED" from dba_data_files
a, dba_extents b where a.file_id = b.file_id) b
where a.file_id = b.file_id (+)  
and a.tablespace_name in ('XPRPI','XPRPT')
order by 1,2 

XPRPI   /u07/oradata/DEMO/xprpi02.dbf   No
XPRPI   /u08/oradata/DEMO/xprpi01.dbf   Yes
XPRPT   /u02/oradata/DEMO/xprpi02.dbf   Yes

XPRPT   /u06/oradata/DEMO/xprpt02.dbf   Yes
XPRPT   /u07/oradata/DEMO/xprpt01.dbf   Yes

This is consistant since I just added the first file.



And, yes, there are utilities to look at the datafile.   Oracle's Enterprise

If my tablespace became so big that it had 3 datafiles
and became so fragmented, then I export and import
the whole databse, how can I tell if the REORG only
used up one or two datafiles.

OR is there a utility to see contents of a datafile?

Hello,

SYSTEM rbs is reserved actions against the SYSTEM tablespace.

There are some mis-conceptions against this issue.

Actions against the SYSTEM tablespace can use non-SYSTEM rbs, too.

For example, Recursive transactions,in other words: Oracle kernel
transactions
by SYS users, do not always have to use SYSTEM rbs.

SYSTEM rbs is the last statation if there is no available slot in rbs in
which
current user transaction is assigned. So, Oracle kernel does not have to
compete with user transactions.

hope this helps...

Did that several months ago with our HP-MPE box.  The problem was that
we
changed the IP address of the box and brought a new one online, with the old
ones original IP.  Now MPE has NO idea of what a DNS server is so one has to
bury the actual IP address into things like listener.ora and tnsnames.ora.
We

Many of you probably know this already, but it took me by surprise (and
caused no end of grief) so I thought I'd warn people.

I cloned our 8.0.4 production database onto another machine for some testing
we were doing (copy of entire Oracle filesystem, copied hot backup over) and
started it up with no problems.

What I didn't realize when I ran my shutdown script (which also stops the
listener) was that I hadn't changed the hostname in listener.ora.  It
stopped the listener on the production box!

Had you asked me before this happened I wouldn't have expected it to work
that way, but a number of irate users and managers testify to the fact that
it does.  I restarted the listener as soon as anyone thought to notify me of
the problem (it says something about the processes here that it was 45
minutes after I restarted the listener that that our Help Desk contacted me
me about the problem, I first heard about it from a developer).

Sigh, learn something new every day.
Hope someone out there benefits from my mistake.

Yes, it creates a session. If you want to do a(n) SQL trace, you can do a
SELECT 'x' FROM dual@remote_site, find the session at the remote site and
turn on the trace, then run your next query.

Liberal use of Outlook filters and AutoArchive. I generally scan the

usually ignore the rest (unless it's a slow day). AutoArchive cleans out
everything more than a week old whether I've read it or not, to an
off-line .PST where I can search it.

I know all the "cool kids" hate Microsoft, but Outlook truly rocks, I'm

Not sure how others handle getting behind on mail, but work lately
leaves me precious little time to keep up.  Just spent the better part
of a month clawing back through 6000 odd messages that queued up after a
period  away from the list.

My curiosity lies w/how others handle the situation.  I've always been
reluctant to can the folder contents, as there's always gems hidden in
there somewhere.  Now I'm totally caught up and it's a bloody big
relief.  Gems were there too.  :-)

Anyone find themselves in the same boat from time to time or do you just
click, shift+left mouse and delete em' all?

RE: SAP R3 and Locally Managed Tablespaces

2001-07-06 Thread Hillman, Alex

I am working with Peoplesoft now. It is easy enough to change tablespace
description in Peoplesoft DD to LMT, change tablespace assignment for
specific tables etc. I am going soon to implement LMT on 8.1.7 and also move
part of insexes to different index tablespace. There is no problems with
future upgrade if changes made in the Peoplesoft DD. Also I think that it
was done pretty smart - description of objects in Peoplesoft DD and
generation of DDL and SQL statements from this DD.

Jared,

I can't say that I have used LMT's with our SAP installation, however, I 
constantly modify storage parameters, and I really don't see a difference.  
That being said, I know how much of a control-freak SAP is.  The problem is 
that SAP puts tables/indexes in certain tablespaces based on functionality.

For example, the BTABD tablespace contains all transaction, heavy I/O 
tables, while the STABD tablespace contains all master data and transparent 
tables, etc.  So if you organize LMT's based on size/storage 
characteristics, you would have to have multiple BTABD, STABD, etc. 
tablespaces.  That would be the only thing I can see SAP being nervous 
about.  In order to do table reorgs, I do this in the sense that I have a 
BTABD and a BTAB2D tablespace that I reorg the table to/from.  Sorry if you 
already knew all this, but maybe others would benefit.

If I understood what you want clearly,
In the same shell script, immediately after export command,have some grep
command to look for errors in
export log file.Depending on the sucess/failure($?) of grepping, have
commands
to do whatever you want.

If I run export from cron and somehow userid is incorrect or dump file name
is incorrect ( let say somebody renamed directory) - process of export is
stopped. Is it possible to catch this situation in the same script that
called export and if not - how to catch it?

RE: RE: RULE versus CHOOSE

2001-07-06 Thread Hillman, Alex

Histogramms make sence only for columns with skewed data and only if
literals used in where clause - not bind variables. To improve optimizer you
need to change parameters OPTIMIZER_INDEX_CACHING and
OPTIMIZER_INDEX_COST_ADJ. Get an article The Search for Intelligent Life in
the Cost-Based Optimizer from www.evdbt.com - it ex-plains use of these
parameters. Also check your parameter DB_FILE_MULTIBLOCK_READ_COUNT - maybe
you need to increase it depending on your platform and your block size and
your max IO size (Solaris 5.5 and up it is configurable) and your extent
sizes.

Tom:

I never did any official benchmark studies, per se. I studied
the CBO/histograms about 4 months ago when we were converting
an app over from Oracle 7 to 8i. The new version of the app had
queries that were very different from its earlier version and
so performance on 8i as compared to 7 was dramatically worse.
Of course, the app owners blamed the database. In the course
of my defense of the db, I discovered that the data (being primarily
composed of case studies) was severely skewed to the more recent
dates (i.e., the further back you went, the sparser the number
of cases). I discovered that the optimizer was doing a lot of
range scans for queries when it should have been doing full table
scans according to the CBO thresholds. Histograms on certain
date fields throughout the schema dropped times on certain large
report queries from 30 minutes to under 2.

That's all I know. I can't give you an hard empirical evidence,
just anecdotal evidence that, when properly used, histograms
do seem to have dramatic impacts.

RE: can/do indexes chain?

2001-07-05 Thread Hillman, Alex

Update in the index is done as delete and insert, so there is no chaining.

Alex Hillman

I've been asked to create an index which combines two fields, date &
location.
For reasons I don't really want to explain, we need/desire this index to
be in the order of date, location. The minor gotcha is that while location
will be populated at the time the record is created, the date field is not
updated until a later point in time. This date is a document print date.
So this date field will be going from a NULL value to a non-null value.
I recognize that this can result in record chaining in the data table.
In thinking about this, I realized this could have a similar affect
within the index. However, I've never read anything about index chaining.

Do/can indexes chain? 
Should I be concerned about this?

Hello Alex,

Is there a reason you are asking this question? Are you thinking of
proposing a book?

Ingram (http://www.ingram.com), a large book distributor, used to have
a phone number that you could dial, punch in an ISBN number, and then
hear Ingram's sales figures for that book for the current month. But
that's only Ingram, and I don't know the number, nor do I know whether
the service is still available. Most publishers don't divulge sales
figures.

One of our app development teams started out with lots of pl/sql and
role based security, and found that roles are useless cause you have to
grant the table level privs anyway to get the procedures to work.

We are considering switching to Authid Definer for several reasons:
- Roles need only contain execute privs for the procedures (no table
level grants required)
- private synonyms not needed anymore (all objects are resolved in the
definers schema)
- No need for  table level GRANTs any more (cause all procedures/funcs
run as the table/proc owner)
Sounds too good to be true. Any gotchas to switching to authid Definer?
Is this the preferred direction for app development, rather than the
role/table grants nightmare?

  In a perfect world or even a sucky world, yes.  But the 
  nightmare scenerio that was laid out wouldn't allow proactivity on their part. 
  The inconvenient time thing was due to the fact that the proactive items they 
  wanted to to do were rejected.  They had a table that was diagnosed with 
  too small extents and they wanted a bigger extent size.  They submitted 
  paperwork and a non-tech management type said 'no'.  Does he disobey the 
  rules and risk getting fired?  They made other requests for day-to-day 
  events and possible problems.  They were rejected because "you cannot do 
  that many changes".  Do they risk their jobs and do what is needed, 
  knowing eventually someone *WILL* find out and at that point they can/will be 
  terminated for insubordination and failure to follow process or at least 
  slapped down big for it?  
  In all situations I had seen until here, I would say, yes, 
  proactivity is a must and I know that we can look at any one item and get 
  around rules that get our way.  When it becomes a corporate culture, you 
  really need to get the policy eliminated.  The way to do that is to allow 
  the people who can make these stupid decisions suffer.  He simply said 
  "OK, if that's the way you want to play it, then I'll do what you say.  I 
  will follow your rules and not fix things I see wrong because *you say I 
  can't*.  Of course, you wouldn't know a database problem if it jumped up 
  and bit you and said, 'Hi I am a database problem', but that's 
  irrelevant.   I will do it your way and fix it when it breaks and 
  you're franticly signing off on the same paperwork you rejected x days/months 
  ago.   Just don't expect a friendly call at 2 am when it 
  happens..."  
   I agree, we need to be proactive, 
  however, the way I read this issue, they were proactive and lots of times when 
  they made suggestions, they were rejected and their proactivity was rendered 
  moot by people who have no clue.  When that happens, it is wise to make 
  them feel some pain for the decisions they make.

Storage allocation for LOB and LONG datatypes

2001-06-25 Thread Hillman, Alex

I have several questions answers for wich I couldn't find in FM (not that I
tried too hard :-) ).

1. If LONG or LOB takes more than 1 block - how part of the last block left
free is used? Can it be used to store part of another LONG or LOB which more
thatn this free peace? I think not but not tested.

2. What happens if LONG or LOB  is updated? (again longer than 1 block).
Which blocks are moved? Chained or migrated?

3. How rollback and redo generated for update? And how much?

4. Anything else interesting that I did not mention?

I agree with you, however in one of my previous contracts one guy decided to
add datafile to the database. He aadded a 2G file and database for several
minutes did only one thing - created datafile. Application servers were shut
down because they checked DB every 5 sec or something like that. There was a
big fass because even several minutes of downtime were not acceptable for
this app. This guys even considered to sue Oracle (this guy was Oracle

Jay,

You did not say what type of an employer you are currently at, so it is
tough to comment.
I have seen *very* strict controls put into place at various places of
employment.  It sounds like you are at a gov't facility where audit and
control is serious business.

You have three choices:

1). try and work thru the system to show why this is a bad idea - like let
the system go to hell and explain that you would have fixed it, but have
been waiting for a signature from the VP.
2). flood the VP with so many requests that he/she sees how ridiculous the
requirement is.
3). if all else fails, start looking for another job.  at exit interview
time, explain that the audit process is NOT conducive to business standards.

hope this helps

One of the reasons DBA's are paid well is that they have total control over
the production data.  No matter what rules the auditors put in place, a DBA
could manipulate the data if they wanted to.  The company should trust you
to do your job and not put up read blocks that prevent you from maintaining

to be certain that I didn't make any database changes without such approval.
The auditors were horrified to discover that not only did I do such things
whenever I thought them necessary but that we didn't have a non-DBA review
everything I did after an Oracle upgrade to ensure I didn't install any
other software.
Fortunately I managed to convince them that yes, I really did need a Unix
login (they were skeptical).

So, any similar horror stories?

How to suppress export, import intractivity

2001-06-22 Thread Hillman, Alex

I run script in the background which contain export command. If userid wrong
it give me message that job stopped
(bash). Process is stopped and I can see it using ps command. Apparently it
waits that username be entered interactively. I need automatically to
terminate the process and print message in the log.  Anybody have any
suggestions?

RE: Prompt in Korn shell

2001-06-21 Thread Hillman, Alex

Now I have another problem.

export PS1='$LOGNAME@$HOST:$PWD:${ORACLE_SID:-ORUNDEF}\n!->' - result is:

oracle8i@coin-app:/u01/app/psoft/PSTEST/appserv:PSTESTn133->

instead of 

oracle8i@coin-app:/u01/app/psoft/PSTEST/appserv:PSTEST
133->

Looks like it does not understand \n as a new line character.

Any ideas please.

Anybody knows how to show current working directory and in general shell
variable in Korn shell that prompt change when variable changes - for
current working directory and ORACLE_SID for example. I know how to do it in
bash but cannot do it right in Korn.

RE: OT - interviewing your superior

2001-06-21 Thread Hillman, Alex

This guy may be very good to work for if the pay is hourly. Immediately cut
all bs. And even if there is a lot of stupid things one has to do - at least
one is paid.

no, the DBA is god.

Okay, serious thought -- ask if they follow a project or people management 
style.

The difference? project management is mostly concerned with GETTING IT DONE,

with little or no regard for how ridiculous the deadlines are or how many 
hours the people are working. Prime example of this (and a job I did NOT 
take) is an interview I went on where the boss told me he believed in 
working his people until they were burned out, then he'd get new ones

people management is subtler -- you make sure the people are professional, 
you make sure they are rewarded for the work they do, that you give them a 
day off on occasion, and work on reasonable deadline setting. Example?  I 
started the Monday of Thanksgiving week. My boss said to me "if you can get 
the reports working by Wednesday, you can have the day after Thanksgiving 
off"... worked my butt off for that woman
