Re: avoid duplicate sql

2001-08-08 Thread james ellis

Can you change from a sql statement to an anonymous
pl/sql block? You can trap for dup val on index or
check for the records existence prior to trying to
insert the new record.

Re: temp problem when rebuilding Index

2001-07-02 Thread james ellis

You can also increase your SORT_AREA_SIZE parameter in
the initDBNAME.ora. This will allow more of your
sorting to be done in memory rather on disk. This will
also help speed up the process.

You can do a simple insert/select statement within

insert into table_a

if all the columns are in the same order in both
tables. If not list the columns out.

Re: index query

You could use the alter index rebuild option. This
keeps the old index available for queries until the
new index has been created. You just need to make sure
you have double the space of the object you are
rebuilding when using this technique.

Re: Insert

2001-03-27 Thread james ellis

Yes inserting into a table with an index does cause
degradation in the process, but it is very unrealistic
to drop and rebuild the index every time you do an
insert, unless it is a batch process that runs when no
other processing is being done. Also, deleting from
the index causes the index to be very fragmented and
eventually you will need to rebuild it to reclaim
unused space.

Re: Are snapshot logs purged?

2001-02-16 Thread james ellis

Once the fast refresh has completed the records from
the mlog$ table should be deleted. This should happen
automatically as long as there aren't two snapshots
depending on the data. The high water mark on the
table will continue to grow which will cause your
refreshes to slow down over time. We had a job that
ran late at night that would select from the mlog$
table to see if there was data in it. If there wasn't
we would truncate the mlog$ table to reset the high
water mark.

Re: On-Call - terms, conidtions and perks!

2001-02-08 Thread james ellis

Hi Sean, 
 I have worked in two environments that required 24X7
support. My first job as a DBA we had a 4 man team and
rotated the pager every week. So each DBA was on-call
once a month. All we carried was a pager. We all had
personal computers at home, so we really didn't need a
laptop. If the on-call DBA needed to go out of town or
something he made arrangements before hand to get his
rotation covered. There was no monetary supplement for
being on-call. My manager kind of lumped it in our
salaries and supplemented comp time in. (3Yrs)

My second experience was with a larger organization
and they equiped on-call personnel with a laptop,
pager and cell phone. There was a rotation every week
depending on how many people were in your group. They
actually paid on-call personnel $125/wk whether you
were called or not. So having the laptop and the
supplemental income really made that experience a
little better. (1yr)

I hope that helps

Re: Reporting database

2001-02-06 Thread james ellis

I have worked in an environment where we used simple
snapshots to replicate data to a reporting database.
It was low maintenance once you developed the right
fast refresh intervals for the tables that are being
replicated.
