Re: TKPROF
hello, if EXPLAIN option is used, tkprof generates output against current database statistics not against statistics in raw file. this makes followings wrong: - explain plan may be different than explain plan in raw file since statistics may have changed after raw file is generated. - because of hard parse, execution plans of same SQLs may be different. if you use aggregate=yes(which is default), tkprof will show one execution plan. I did not test for returned row. but, if explain plan changes, returned row should be changed. If there is "Row Source Operation" in your output, use this one instead of explain plan section. "Row Source Operation" shows exact execution plan in raw file. regards... --- "Sam P.

On-Call - terms, conidtions and perks!
Hi Folks, Our company has inidicated it's heading for 24 x 7 operation. So informal talks are taking place about the new "challenges" this brings regarding having staff on call to support IT systems.

Some specific information I'm looking for is: - How frequently are you on-call and for how long and to cover what hours. e.g. one week a month from 22:00 - 06:00. - What tools are you given to support this process. e.g. pager, laptop for remote dial-in, cell phone. - Whats the procedure if you "get the call". Do you dial in initially to try to resolve, that failing go on site, in other words the escalation process - What renumeration or other benefits do you get for being on call. - Are there additional 'benefits' if you are called whilst being on call.

RE: SQL Query (Sorting)

RE: On-Call - terms, conidtions and perks!
Hi Sean, In my last job, I was required to do on-call. The way it would work was we would have a rota made up once in 2 weeks. There were about 10-12 of us who would share the on-call. Depending on when your rota was, it could be between 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. the next day on a week day. But if you got stuck with a rota for the weekend, then you were on-call between 8 a.m. on Sat to 8 a.m. on Monday. We were given laptops for remote dial-up and also security cards for passwords. On getting a call, we would try and solve the problem at home. However sometimes (very rarely) it was not possible to solve it right away, perhaps because it required code change or it was a database problem or stuff like that. Then we would just leave it till the next day and work on it when we got to work. As for benefits, we got paid about 9/hr when we were on-call and 50/hr if we got called out. So benefits-wise it wasn't bad at all :-)) HTH, Chandini Paterson -Original Message- Sean Sent: 08 February 2001 10:41 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi Folks, Our company has inidicated it's heading for 24 x 7 operation.

RE: On-Call - terms, conidtions and perks!
Sean, Interesting point and getting more valid all the time, as you say. I've worked in places where : 1) there was a laptop/pager provided but no renumeration (7 years ago, I was a junior DBA - didn't know any better!) 2) Rota of call out with (UK pound equivalent of) $6 per weekday, $8 Saturday, $10 Sunday with mobile phone and laptop and pay for any time worked over 1 hour. 3) On-call requirements with mobile phone. renumeration = 1 hour's pay for each 24 hour day of cover (wekday or weekend) plus pay from leaving home to getting home when it was necessary to be at work. I think that 1) above is unacceptable in todays financial requirements for 24/7. Somtimes arranging my life arround a possible call-out made $6-10 per day did not seem worth it but I'm a contractor so it was part of the job when I took it. If I were an employee being asked to provide on-call cover, option 3 plus laptop is pretty much the minimum I would look for. - Mike. -Original Message- Sent: 08 February 2001 10:41 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi Folks, Our company has inidicated it's heading for 24 x 7 operation.

SQL parameter for batch runs [NT]
Hi Folks, I have some SQL scripts which I use to Shutdown and Startup DBs. The SQL scripts are called from OS batch files and run using AT schedule service. Problem, or so I perceive it as being, is that I use SYSTEM user as part of script to connect to DB to Startup/Shutdown and I have the password for same (horror of horrors???) in the SQL script. So I'm wondering how othger folks manage the same process. Do you use the OS file protection to protect the SQL file from prying eyes or perhaps a particular Oracle account stripped of unecessary privs etc to include in script OR is there a antoher more secure way around this issue that I just have not realised?.

Re: On-Call - terms, conidtions and perks!
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 --- "O'Neill, Sean" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Folks, Our company has inidicated it's heading for 24 x 7 operation.

RE: SQL parameter for batch runs [NT]
How many DB's are on the machine. I as well use this command for backups, but I have the oracle_sid set so I do no need to use the entire connect string. I just say, "connect internal" and it will connect allowing me to do startups and shutdowns.

Re:RE: On-Call - terms, conidtions and perks!
We likewise do 24x7 support for a computer integrated manufacturing line an around the world sales organization (sales offices in the pacific Europe). There are two of us so we share the duties typically two weeks at a time. The company pays $200 per week no matter if you get called or not. We each have pagers but the on call person has the cell phone. There is a laptop, but we never use it as the company provides ISDN service from home into the local area network. That's scheduled to change in the near future to a VPN setup with ATT. At any rate, things have been setup such that no matter if your in the office or at home you have the same access and resources. We've spent a lot of time and money in setting up the production DB's and servers in the most fault tolerant way possible. Multiple CPU HP's that soft fail with redundant power supplies. Mirrored EMC disk arrays, triple oversized UPS systems, fault tolerant CISCO switches, etc., etc., etc... Also, since there was no such tool in the old Oracle 6 days we created a program that runs on an NT box as a client application that watches the DB's 24x7 and knows where the appropriate pagers for the appropriate errors are, default the DBA's. The entire system works almost flawlessly. Last year we only had 5 hours of unscheduled down time across 10 production instances, all for hardware problems which really weren't 'unscheduled' since we had two days notice before. Most weeks the only call that comes in is a real nuisance as one of the line techs will mis-diagnose the error he's seeing.

We do thing a little different. First, only the IS staff has access to the UNIX prompt. Second, there is a file maintained by ROOT which contains both login id and passwords. These values are loaded through a . script loading Sys_Name and Sys_Password. Third, all sql's, sqlload, exports are executed using the $Sys_Name/$Sys_Password syntax.

Re: On-Call - terms, conidtions and perks!
Sean, This reply sounds different from the others but I thought I would throw it out for comparison. I am a full-time employee at a smallish company. When I was hired, part of the job description was to be on-call. We went over the specifics in some detail before I signed on for the job. There was no specific monetary compensation for being on-call but I was offered what I considered to be a very generous salary which I accepted with full knowlege of the on-call requirement. That said, I was on call 24 hours a day seven days a week for five months straight except for a 4-day reprieve in October. Once we finally were able to hire a new DBA and bring him up to speed, I've been trading off being on-call with him for the last month. We take seven-day rotations from Friday to Friday. No particular compensation per se other than our boss will give us a day off if it's been a particularly bad weekend. I have a laptop and a beeper to accomplish this. Our computer center pages us if certain database jobs fail. Anyone in our company who has access to the pager database can page us at will. Usually they're not too abusive of the privilege but I try to discourage pages for things that I feel can wait til the next day (non-Production problems). I get paged an average of once or twice a week. Lately we haven't been getting many pages at all as things have settled down somewhat. Sometimes we get paged a lot more often. Once paged we're supposed to reply promptly (who knows how that is defined). Usually if I don't respond within 15 minutes I get paged again or they call me directly at home. If they can't reach me for some reason after a half hour or an hour, they will page or call the other DBA(s). We don't currently have a formal backup DBA arrangement. Once I talk with whoever paged, I get the picture of the problem, log in from home and fix the problem. Then I call them back or send an email. At a previous contract position at a large company, DBAs were on-call for a week at a time every 8 weeks. Employees earned an extra day of vacation for every week of being on call. Contractors were paid $7 per hour for all 24 hours of being on call and switched over to billing full hourly rate once called (1 hour minimum). Most of the DBAs at that company seemed satisfied with the situation. Just curious- how many DBAs allow coworkers to page them at will or to call them at their home phone number? Is that a fairly common practice?

Susan,
Dynamic SQL can get pretty interesting, depending on the values of your
programmer defined records. Obviously your code compiles, but when you add
the variable, funny things can happen. When you break out of the routine,
what line is showing as being the hangup? If it's your bigSQL, try
commenting out various parts of the code and use something like
dbms_output.put_line to see what your variables and clauses look like.
Here's a snippet of something similar I wrote. It selects from different
tables using different where clauses depending on user input from the
browser:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE leadsResults(
leadFunction varchar2,
customer varchar2,
leads_phone_npa varchar2,
leads_phone_nxx varchar2,
leads_phone_suffixvarchar2,
clli varchar2,
marketvarchar2,
statusvarchar2)
AS
v_idowa_cookie.cookie;
fromClause varchar2(20);
whereClause varchar2(250);
TYPE RefCurTyp IS REF CURSOR;
listCur RefCurTyp;
BEGIN
v_id:=OWA_COOKIE.GET('employee');
IF leadFunction = 'workingLeads' THEN
v_lead_type:= NULL;
fromClause:='leads';
IF clli IS NOT NULL
AND customer IS NOT NULL
AND status IS NOT NULL THEN
whereClause:= 'WHERE ld_clli = ' |||| clli ||||
'AND UPPER(ld_bus_name) like UPPER('
||||'\%' || customer || '\%'||||')
AND ld_term_code = ' ||||status||||
'AND to_number(ld_emp_id) = '
||v_id.vals(1)||
'ORDER BY ld_bus_name';
END IF;
END IF;
OPEN listCur for
'SELECT ld_bus_name, ld_term_code, ld_timestamp,
ld_sic_name, ld_bus_phone,
ld_bus_addr, ld_bus_city, ld_bus_state, ld_bus_zip,
ld_notes, ld_duns_num from '
|| fromClause || ' ' || whereClause;
Hope this helps.

Hello all,
Okay, so I may be making this problem more difficult than it appears, but
I'm having a helluva time using ref cursors with dynamic sql in a function.
Anybody done this? Basically I'm trying to construct the select, from and
where clauses via variables; so for instance, I test for acctType (passed in
as a parameter) like so:
if (acctType = 0) then
selectClause := 'select etc.';
elsif (accType = 1) then
selectClause := 'select etc.';
etc. etc.
Then I have one big sqlStmt variable where I concat the select, from, where
clause.
I open the sqlStmt, fetch into a programmer defined record and try and
return this cursor. Problem is sql*plus locks up each time I try to run it.
I never get anything back which leads me to believe that something is
terribly wrong with my approach. I've used an approach outlined in the
Oracle documentation...
Thanks for you help! Hope this makes sense :)

Re: On-Call - terms, conidtions and perks!
Help Desk at Data Center is supposed to page/call on_call_dba or developer for all problems. Here 3 dba's with one month rotation provided with laptop and pager. No compensation for on call DBA except time off if it is a bad problem at night time. Regards Rafiq Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 08 Feb 2001 07:21:30 -0800 Sean, This reply sounds different from the others but I thought I would throw it out for comparison. I am a full-time employee at a smallish company. When I was hired, part of the job description was to be on-call. We went over the specifics in some detail before I signed on for the job. There was no specific monetary compensation for being on-call but I was offered what I considered to be a very generous salary which I accepted with full knowlege of the on-call requirement. That said, I was on call 24 hours a day seven days a week for five months straight except for a 4-day reprieve in October. Once we finally were able to hire a new DBA and bring him up to speed, I've been trading off being on-call with him for the last month. We take seven-day rotations from Friday to Friday. No particular compensation per se other than our boss will give us a day off if it's been a particularly bad weekend. I have a laptop and a beeper to accomplish this. Our computer center pages us if certain database jobs fail. Anyone in our company who has access to the pager database can page us at will. Usually they're not too abusive of the privilege but I try to discourage pages for things that I feel can wait til the next day (non-Production problems). I get paged an average of once or twice a week. Lately we haven't been getting many pages at all as things have settled down somewhat. Sometimes we get paged a lot more often. Once paged we're supposed to reply promptly (who knows how that is defined). Usually if I don't respond within 15 minutes I get paged again or they call me directly at home. If they can't reach me for some reason after a half hour or an hour, they will page or call the other DBA(s). We don't currently have a formal backup DBA arrangement. Once I talk with whoever paged, I get the picture of the problem, log in from home and fix the problem. Then I call them back or send an email. At a previous contract position at a large company, DBAs were on-call for a week at a time every 8 weeks. Employees earned an extra day of vacation for every week of being on call. Contractors were paid $7 per hour for all 24 hours of being on call and switched over to billing full hourly rate once called (1 hour minimum). Most of the DBAs at that company seemed satisfied with the situation. Just curious- how many DBAs allow coworkers to page them at will or to call them at their home phone number? Is that a fairly common practice?

Re: Silly question perhaps -- iAS vs. IIS
We use IIS very successfully connecting to our Oracle database. I can't really give you impact because I don't know what a OAS connection is like, but we generally get very good response from the Web Server, and always get a good response from the database. However, it is rare that we have more than 20 users connected at once, though the web or otherwise. The only thing we have had to be very careful about is being sure to close all connections on the same page that we open them because the connection doesn't die just because the session was closed. At 04:37 AM 2/8/01 -0800, you wrote: I don't know if this is a silly question, but I am playing devil's advocate because one of the managers here made a comment re. this.

Applying patches - minimizing database down time
Attention all installation gurus/hacks... I'm looking for suggestions, experiences, and best practices on safely applying Oracle patches and minimizing database down time. By way of example let's say we're going from server version 8.1.6.0.0 to 8.1.6.3.0. Let's also say we're going to apply the 8.1.6.3.0 interMedia patchset. Here are some generalized steps: 1) Uncompress/untar the patchsets to a staging area. 2) Whilst the database is up, run the installer to install all the requisite software to a new $ORACLE_HOME. old $ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6 new $ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6.3.0 export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6.3.0 /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/bin/runInstaller 3) Whilst the database is up, copy interMedia executables and libraries to the appropriate sub-directores of the new $ORACLE_HOME. 4) Whilst the database is up, run the installer to install the new patches pointing it to the staging area in step 1. 5) Shut everything down. Shutdown Oracle dependent processes like ctxsrv. Shutdown the listener. Shutdown the database: alter system checkpoint; shutdown abort; startup; shutdown immediate; Do not make any cold backups. Depend on RMAN backups for recovery should anything go awry. 6) Relink oracle. make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle 7) Change the PATH and oratab to reflect the new $ORACLE_HOME. 8) Startup the database, listener, and ctxsrv to make the application available. 9) With everything up, run the SQL scripts to complete the patch: @catalog.sql @catproc.sql @catrep.sql create or replace java system; -- interMedia stuff @dr0pkh.sql @dr0plb.sql @dr0type.plb 10) scan/recompile invalid objects.

RE: Applying patches - minimizing database down time
(Not a sales pitch) Talk to your Quest rep about a product they are working on or is already available which will allow you to do upgrades/patches with no or minimal downtime. It involves a kind of replication. The way I see it is you must have some kind of replication if you want to make upgrades or patches truly transparent (ie. no or minimal downtime). I would not make a database to the users will running catalog, catproc, etc. HTH Gerardo -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2001 10:23 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Attention all installation gurus/hacks...

If I were you I would check whether anything went wrong with the parameter file while recovering from the crash. MAke sure Pramter settings are as is before the crash. Check your indexes, trigeers. Check whether the packages and procedures are pinned as they were before crash. These are few of the things I can think of while waiting eagerly for aday off tomorrow. Hope this helps.

Re[2]: On-Call - terms, conidtions and perks!
Cherie, We have specific response criteria. From the time of the page your suppose to a)contact the person paging within 15 minutes, b)1 hour till online from home c)4 hours till in the office (if required). Normally our HelpDesk acts as the first line of defense from 7am till 11pm. after that the users can call direct to the pager/cellphone. My NT program calls the pager 24x7 no matter what. Dick Goulet Reply Separator Author: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2/8/2001 7:21 AM Sean, This reply sounds different from the others but I thought I would throw it out for comparison. I am a full-time employee at a smallish company. When I was hired, part of the job description was to be on-call. We went over the specifics in some detail before I signed on for the job. There was no specific monetary compensation for being on-call but I was offered what I considered to be a very generous salary which I accepted with full knowlege of the on-call requirement. That said, I was on call 24 hours a day seven days a week for five months straight except for a 4-day reprieve in October. Once we finally were able to hire a new DBA and bring him up to speed, I've been trading off being on-call with him for the last month. We take seven-day rotations from Friday to Friday. No particular compensation per se other than our boss will give us a day off if it's been a particularly bad weekend. I have a laptop and a beeper to accomplish this. Our computer center pages us if certain database jobs fail. Anyone in our company who has access to the pager database can page us at will. Usually they're not too abusive of the privilege but I try to discourage pages for things that I feel can wait til the next day (non-Production problems). I get paged an average of once or twice a week. Lately we haven't been getting many pages at all as things have settled down somewhat. Sometimes we get paged a lot more often. Once paged we're supposed to reply promptly (who knows how that is defined). Usually if I don't respond within 15 minutes I get paged again or they call me directly at home. If they can't reach me for some reason after a half hour or an hour, they will page or call the other DBA(s). We don't currently have a formal backup DBA arrangement. Once I talk with whoever paged, I get the picture of the problem, log in from home and fix the problem. Then I call them back or send an email. At a previous contract position at a large company, DBAs were on-call for a week at a time every 8 weeks. Employees earned an extra day of vacation for every week of being on call. Contractors were paid $7 per hour for all 24 hours of being on call and switched over to billing full hourly rate once called (1 hour minimum). Most of the DBAs at that company seemed satisfied with the situation. Just curious- how many DBAs allow coworkers to page them at will or to call them at their home phone number? Is that a fairly common practice?

RE: Applying patches - minimizing database down time
Do you have a test instance to apply the patches to? Check the release notes, and see if any DDL is included in the patch. If none of the database objects change, then you do not need to run the rdbms scripts. Also, I have heard that you cannot copy oracle homes any more with the new "Universal" installer. You have to reinstall the base software to the new directory. It keeps track of the directory it is installed in and will not run out of a new directory. -Original Message- From: Steve Orr [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2001 2:45 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: RE: Applying patches - minimizing database down time Yeah, I like the theory but putting the theory into practice is another story.

The sql extracted from the logs using logminer can then be run against the upgraded clone after shutting down production and before letting the users loose on the database. Of course you will want to do this at a time of low update/delete activity to minimize the time that it will take to execute the sql on the upgraded clone. I have not actually done this, but in theory it should work.

I'm looking for suggestions, experiences, and best practices on safely applying Oracle patches and minimizing database down time. By way of example let's say we're going from server version 8.1.6.0.0 to 8.1.6.3.0. Let's also say we're going to apply the 8.1.6.3.0 interMedia patchset. Here are some generalized steps: 1) Uncompress/untar the patchsets to a staging area. 2) Whilst the database is up, run the installer to install all the requisite software to a new $ORACLE_HOME. old $ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6 new $ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6.3.0 export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6.3.0 /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/bin/runInstaller 3) Whilst the database is up, copy interMedia executables and libraries to the appropriate sub-directores of the new $ORACLE_HOME. 4) Whilst the database is up, run the installer to install the new patches pointing it to the staging area in step 1. 5) Shut everything down. Shutdown Oracle dependent processes like ctxsrv. Shutdown the listener. Shutdown the database: alter system checkpoint; shutdown abort; startup; shutdown immediate; Do not make any cold backups. Depend on RMAN backups for recovery should anything go awry. 6) Relink oracle. make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle 7) Change the PATH and oratab to reflect the new $ORACLE_HOME. 8) Startup the database, listener, and ctxsrv to make the application available. 9) With everything up, run the SQL scripts to complete the patch: @catalog.sql @catproc.sql @catrep.sql create or replace java system; -- interMedia stuff @dr0pkh.sql @dr0plb.sql @dr0type.plb 10) scan/recompile invalid objects.

RE: Hit Ratio fallen through the floor at 31% since a db crash ye
Barb, pick the slowest application and examine it for the waits. What is the application waiting for? Take a look at v$session_event (cumulative) and v$session_wait (current wait). If you see things like "scattered db file read' or 'sequential db file read', then you have a problem with access path (optimizer). If that is the case, you'll need to pull a few tricks with the optimizer. The best thing that can be done with the optimizer on 8.1.5 is the upgrade to 8.1.7. If you have 'enqueue wait', examine your ITL, (initrans/maxtrans) and lock related parameters. If you have "log space waits", increase your log buffer. If you have "free buffer waits", increase your buffer cache. Next, examine your alert log and examine the frequency of checkpoints. If that is more then once every 10 minutes or so, increase your logfiles in size numbers. Size does matter! When this is done, examine your v$librarycache and v$rowcache, pin the frequently used procedures and adjust the size of your shared pool. Next, consider using MTS and defining the large pool to separate your sorts and hash actions from your PL/SQL objects. After that, examine your tables and see how are they used. Put the big reference tables in hash clusters, the small ones in the "KEEP" buffer pool and put the transaction and the history tables in the "RECYCLE" buffer pool. consider using the partitioning option for your largest tables and consider moving all your objects to locally managed tablespaces. do not forget to spread your IO across several controllers. With a little luck, you will be done just in time to perform the next major upgrade, when the process will start all over again.

RE: MINUS VS NOT IN
The reason the minus is so much faster is because it does a hash join. Try adding a /*+ hash_aj */ hint to the "not in" and you should get better response. Also, there is no need to put a distinct in the second select of the minus or the sub select of the "not in". Minus will do a sort distinct anyway. Here is the new sql. select distinct icons from inpatient where icons not in (select /*+ hash_aj */ icons from ptca) / -Original Message- From: Peter Hazelton [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2001 3:03 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: MINUS VS NOT IN Hello all. I read a question concerning the use of the MINUS function earlier and I had not heard of it before today. After some experimenting with it, I was quite amazed at the speed of this function compared to using NOT IN. Considering the following: Query One select distinct icons from inpatient minus select distinct icons from ptca; Query 2 select distinct icons from inpatient where icons NOT IN(select distinct icons from ptca) Query number one began to run in about 5 seconds whereas query 2 took forever to run. My question is why is the MINUS so much faster? My understanding of the NOT IN is that it probably builds the record set in the second part of the SQL query each time it comes to a new icons number in the first part of the query. Therefore, if there are one thousand records to be searched, it probably builds the record set one thousand times. Is this correct? If so, how does the MINUS function build and compare the record set? And finally, where do I get these wonderful little tidbits? Would a SQL tuning book exist that might talk about the strengths and limitations of different functions? I really appreciate your time and input.

In 8.1.6 I have 8544 but that includes a few hundered loaded by a couple of scripts in rdbms admin I think intitjvm creates about 8100 classes. I would expect 8.1.7 to have at least that many. If you have far fewer, perhaps a .jar file is missing?

Re: Applying patches - minimizing database down time
Steve, Seems like a fast, secure procedure. One question though, Why would you issue the 'shutdown abort' in step 5 ? You never quite know how long instance recovery will take. Someone mentioned replication. It seems that a standby db might be worth taking a look at. A lot of work building, cutting over, and rebuilding, but may result in minimum downtime. dgm - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2001 4:15 PM Do you have a test instance to apply the patches to? Check the release notes, and see if any DDL is included in the patch. If none of the database objects change, then you do not need to run the rdbms scripts. Also, I have heard that you cannot copy oracle homes any more with the new "Universal" installer. You have to reinstall the base software to the new directory. It keeps track of the directory it is installed in and will not run out of a new directory. -Original Message- From: Steve Orr [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2001 2:45 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: RE: Applying patches - minimizing database down time Yeah, I like the theory but putting the theory into practice is another story. Maybe I'll try it another day. I thought Oracle supported 24X7 Internet ecommerce. Well I guess it does if you never need to upgrade, as if that were a realistic option. Or if you want to work 80+ hours to reduce database down time from 1 hour to 5 minutes. "Patches? We don't need no stinkin' patches!" L.E. Returning to Dog Patch, Lil' Abner -Original Message- Patrick Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2001 12:21 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L You might consider cloning your database, and then using logminer to extract the changes to the production database that occur during the upgrade to the cloned database. The sql extracted from the logs using logminer can then be run against the upgraded clone after shutting down production and before letting the users loose on the database. Of course you will want to do this at a time of low update/delete activity to minimize the time that it will take to execute the sql on the upgraded clone. I have not actually done this, but in theory it should work. Look into the documentation for logminer. -Original Message- From: Molina, Gerardo [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2001 12:56 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: RE: Applying patches - minimizing database down time (Not a sales pitch) Talk to your Quest rep about a product they are working on or is already available which will allow you to do upgrades/patches with no or minimal downtime. It involves a kind of replication. The way I see it is you must have some kind of replication if you want to make upgrades or patches truly transparent (ie. no or minimal downtime). I would not make a database to the users will running catalog, catproc, etc. HTH Gerardo -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2001 10:23 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Attention all installation gurus/hacks... I'm looking for suggestions, experiences, and best practices on safely applying Oracle patches and minimizing database down time. By way of example let's say we're going from server version 8.1.6.0.0 to 8.1.6.3.0. Let's also say we're going to apply the 8.1.6.3.0 interMedia patchset. Here are some generalized steps: 1) Uncompress/untar the patchsets to a staging area. 2) Whilst the database is up, run the installer to install all the requisite software to a new $ORACLE_HOME. old $ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6 new $ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6.3.0 export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6.3.0 /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/bin/runInstaller 3) Whilst the database is up, copy interMedia executables and libraries to the appropriate sub-directores of the new $ORACLE_HOME. 4) Whilst the database is up, run the installer to install the new patches pointing it to the staging area in step 1. 5) Shut everything down. Shutdown Oracle dependent processes like ctxsrv. Shutdown the listener. Shutdown the database: alter system checkpoint; shutdown abort; startup; shutdown immediate; Do not make any cold backups. Depend on RMAN backups for recovery should anything go awry. 6) Relink oracle. make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle 7) Change the PATH and oratab to reflect the new $ORACLE_HOME. 8) Startup the database, listener, and ctxsrv to make the application available. 9) With everything up, run the SQL scripts to complete the patch: @catalog.sql @catproc.sql
