'Event Group Latch'
Tom Kyte (asktom.oracle.com) kindly posted me a reply to my question on the above latch. For anyone interested, the description is below Cheers Connor -- START QUOTE Event Group Latch Usage This latch is used during the following operations : An "alter system set events.." command. During process startup where the process copies the events stored in the System event group to its Process event group. Event Groups Events are considered to exist in either the process, session or system group. The differences are outlined below : System Group The event tree is built in the SGA and is derived from the settings of the instance parameter "event". It can also be modified by using the command "alter system set events...". Process Group These are initialised at process startup time via the instance parameter "event". When the process starts up we copy the event tree that we have stored in the System Group. The event tree is built in the PGA. Session Group These are events that are modified dynamically via the "alter session" command. When we perform event checking we check the session group events before those of the process group. The event tree is built in the UGA. -- END QUOTE = Connor McDonald http://www.oracledba.co.uk (mirrored at http://www.oradba.freeserve.co.uk) "Some days you're the pigeon, some days you're the statue" Do You Yahoo!?

RE: Issues with Oracle on a Compaq Tru64 5.1 Cluster
Is this problem specific to the cluster solution or has it manifested itself on non-clustered setups ? We are about to implement a Tru64 5.1 Oracle 8.1.7 system. As I cannot access the tar you mentioned could you please forward on the instructions. Regards Lee -Original Message- Sent: 27 March 2001 22:43 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L We use COMPAQ tru64 5.1 with Oracle 8.1.7. we had noticed corruption in some all files and had to apply some O/S level patches. We followed the instructions in the following TAR# 13320267.600. You may want to do a dbv on certain files to ensure there is not corruption. Again we did not notice these problems until RMAN complained of corruption. And we noticed corruption in the redo logs. Murali Vallath Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2001 08:47:20 -0800 We are running Oracle 8.1.6.2.0 on a new Compaq Tru64 cluster running 5.1 patchkit 1. We have had Oracle running for almost 2 months. For the last several days, we have been experiencing severe I/O issues. The databases will freeze-up and claim that they can't access certain files. Occassionally even 'ls' commands will lock up to, but only when accessing certain sub-directories of file systems. Naturally, we are trying to figure out what has changed in the last few days. We know that the Legatto Networker client was installed, and we also had a UPS failure. In an attempt to isolate the problem, we have removed the Legatto Networker client. Our sysadmins are not seeing any problems at the hardware level. We have completed powered the cluster down and brought it back up. When the databases begin locking up, we do see error messages related to various file systems come across the console. For a few days, we thought it might be RMAN, but I haven't used it in the last 2 days and the problems are still occurring. So, my question is - are any of you folks on a Tru64 5.1 cluster and if so, have you seen similar problems? The systems include 3 GS80s, an ES40, and a Storage Area Network for the disks. We are not running OPS and we are not using raw devices.

The DESTROY option on an import indicates whether the CREATE TABLESPACE commands only found in a full export should be executed. Setting DESTROY=Y destroys the data files of the database being imported into. This is only used when you want to rebuild an entire database, not to overwrite data in tables. If you really need the empty all the tables in a schema, disable the constraints on the tables, truncate them, and reenable the constraints. This will only work if the schema is self contained, and it's tables are not used as a foreign key for a table in a different schema.

Hi Doug , (and all) , Just curious - the PS environment, do you put finance and HR on the same DB? Do you share the sysadm user? I'm new to this PS stuff, so this interests me. Also, in production, do you have the PS databases separated from the other OLTP databases?

I think that you should use different schema's with separate tablespaces. Why? Because your all on one machine therefore all of your background Oracle processes are competing for the same CPU, memory, and IO resources which can and does slow matters down significantly. The best bet in my experience is one large DB instance with a very large SGA, particularly in the DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS area. We've tried both approaches with our PeopleSoft development environments and this works much better than multiple instances. Way too much background CPU Memory burn not to mention all of the wasted disk space for multiple system, temp, rbs, and other tablespaces. It really dings the IO too. BTW: with each schema in it's own tablespace(s) you can still take one offline without crashing the others, unless you need to take system or rbs offline.

Metalink customer satisfaction surveys
Have any of you received one of those lately? I remember last year they used to check with us to see whether we were happy with the service, but I have received nothing in a long time. Someone soft closed one of my TARs, saying he had sent me the information I requested, but I can't find anything in my e-mail folders re. that TAR. I got the notices telling me the TAR has been updated, but I didn't receive the information the tech says he sent me -- at least I can't find it anywhere. My question was re. how we can secure the OEM, i.e. how to ensure that the OEM the DBAs use will be the only one in use to access our databases. What's to stop a developer or an end user from downloading the OEM for free, then using it to send jobs to the databases using the intelligent agents? Nothing, as far as I can see, if we go with the default configurations. I would very much like to see the guidelines I requested re. securing the OEM... I updated the TAR myself, maybe they will "un-soft-close" it. There is someone from Oracle development group on the ODTUG listserv, I sure wish there was someone from customer support or from the Oracle engineers group on this listserv.

Dear DBAs,
I found this RMAN command on Oracle8i Backup Recovery documentation. This
is
used to backup all data files and controlfiles.
run {
allocate channel ch1 type disk;
backup database;
sql 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT'; # archives current redo log
sql 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG ALL'; # archives all un-archived redo logs
}
My question is, why they put sql commands to archives current redo log and
unarchived redo logs, after the "backup database" command? Why not before
the "backup database" command? Will RMAN execute it as a transaction for
all
commands in curly bracket?
TIA

Backup Advice.
Hi there :) After a rather interesting start of my week, I have a question for you about the backup of local PC test databases. Rant At the end of last week I deleted my current test database along with all Oracle files, and went for a fresh install, due to having some rather interesting ora-600's and a corrupted SYSTEM datafile! Now that was fun to say the least I can tell you! I then went on to try and install Oracle again from a copy of 8.1.6 for Windows NT/2000, which was downloaded from technet, and burned on to a cd, to save disk space.. I had originally installed 8.1.6 from this download, but when I went to decompress the files from the zip, on the CD, I had corruption on the CD!! Now, I dreamed of corrupted datafiles, corrupted CD's, even corrupted politicians over the weekend, and came in early this week to start downloading 8.1.7 (The only bonus in this little story:) which is in fact a download of 584mb. This is now STILL downloading right now at a rate of 4.5kbs, and is scheduled to finish in 17hours, and 37 minutes :( What a joy it is to have to download these extraordinarily huge files over a 56k modem. Even ADSL isn't available here until September.. \Rant The point? Well, I was wondering what you guys do out there to backup any local PC test databases you may have? I have no tape to backup too, and no real experience with backup or recovery situations. I have never backed up Oracle either :) The databases are all pretty static, as we just load up some data exported from our Access tracking system. The database is pretty much used for QA of our performance tools. What files should I backup first of all? There is no real need to have this database running in ARCHIVELOG MODE is there? Also, where would you reccomend backing up to? CD (aahhemmm!!), network drives, seperate directory? I'm really just trying to avoid the fun and games I've had this week, any advice?

Re: Oracle variables; LD_LIBRARY_PATH TNS_ADMIN
Oracle, by default, uses $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin to stor the tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora, listener.ora, snmpro.ora and snmprw.ora files for configuration of the Net8 services. If you declare a TNS_ADMIN variable oracle will use that location for these files. It allows you to keep your networking config files separate from the oracle distribution files. Example: On our development machines we have multiple oracle homes of diferent versions 8.0.x, 8.1.7, etc. All these versions use the same TNS files from a directory under the $ORACLE_BASE. Our setup is: /usr/oracle admin common SID product 8.0.5.1 8.1.7 jre oui oraInventory network admin log trace We then use the 8.1.7 listener and OEM agent against all db's. We have one sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora configuration for all instances on the machine. One place for log and trace files for TNS issues. It makes administration easier. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH is a variable that tells applications working with the oracle client where the oracle libraries are. It is version dependent and should be set with the oraenv. Normally it is $ORACLE_HOME/lib. If you are not using oraenv then you need to make sure that it is exported before you start doing your oracle stuff. All of this assumes that you are working with oracle on a Unix machine. The discussion applies to NT also except these variables are specified in the registry under \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle HTH On Wednesday 28 March 2001 04:00, you wrote: Hello, I need some clarification.

RE: What is best practice - differenet schema/different dbs
Just my $.02. I agree separate tbs for different app schema's. However, I would separate applications to their own db, especially if they are 3rd party apps. You have much less control on COTS. Some run their install scripts as sys. I don't agree w/ it, but I am not going to rewrite their code, too many impt things to do. The additional db resources required for separate databases for different apps is worth it. If management wants more apps, then you tell them to buy more hardware. Now if you have complete control of all the apps (i.e. you develop them), then maybe I would put them in the same db. Big maybe :) Gene [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/28/01 08:35AM Hi Doug , (and all) , Just curious - the PS environment, do you put finance and HR on the same DB? Do you share the sysadm user?

I think that you should use different schema's with separate tablespaces. Why? Because your all on one machine therefore all of your background Oracle processes are competing for the same CPU, memory, and IO resources which can and does slow matters down significantly. The best bet in my experience is one large DB instance with a very large SGA, particularly in the DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS area. We've tried both approaches with our PeopleSoft development environments and this works much better than multiple instances. Way too much background CPU Memory burn not to mention all of the wasted disk space for multiple system, temp, rbs, and other tablespaces. It really dings the IO too. BTW: with each schema in it's own tablespace(s) you can still take one offline without crashing the others, unless you need to take system or rbs offline.

Re: changing db_block_size
I'd be interested in seeing that presentation, when are you presenting? I'll be there doing the logminer thing on tuesday late afternoon, last session before BIG BASH. thanks, joe To change the block size you have to recreate the database. How you are going to copy the data that's another issue. You can use full database export/import (pretty long downtime, or problems with data consistency) or you can do a live copy. More on a live copy you can see in: Venkat S. Devraj, Oracle 24x7 Tips Techniques, Osborne Press, 2000. I am currently working on a similar project (live database migration).

Intermedia violates own constraint.
Hi. I had some problems with getting Intermedia to work after patching
to
8.1.7. I got a
ORA-04045: errors during recompilation/revalidation of CTXSYS.CONTEXT
ORA-29835: ODCIGETINTERFACES routine does not return required
interface(s)
When trying to create an index. Searched Metalink, and eventually
found document 1327325 where the workaround is stated to be
spool recompile1.sql
select 'alter package '||owner||'.'||object_name||' compile;'
from dba_objects
where object_type='PACKAGE'
and status='INVALID'
and owner in('ORDSYS','CTXSYS');
spool off;
@recompile1.sql
I applied this, but when I try to create the index now, I get
SQL CREATE INDEX ccs_search_index
ON ccs_search(content)
INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.context PARAMETERS('section group
ccs_search_group'); 23
CREATE INDEX ccs_search_index
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29855: error occurred in the execution of ODCIINDEXCREATE routine

ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.DRUE", line 122
ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.TEXTINDEXMETHODS", line 34
ORA-06512: at line 1
It seems to me, that intermedia tries to index into an existing table,
and failes because it has lost track of it's own sequence? I'm just
guessing
here and could really use a few tips to get this thing working. Thanks,
Morten

RE: Opinions on this book...
I have W. Baird's book, "Oracle OCP". Unless there is a newer edition out it only covers Oracle 7.x, not 8 or 8i. I used it to help me pass the first OCP exam, SQL and PL/SQL. It was adequate for that if you also have considerable SQL experience with Oracle or other DBMS's. For the second exam, Database Admin, it was less than adequate because it did not cover Oracle 8 features. It was even worse for Bacup and Recovery because it did not cover RMAN. There are better OCP books out there. If you want my copy of Baird's, I'll give it to you for shipping cost, but I'd recommend the following book instead for DBA certification exam preparation: "Oracle8i Certified Professional DBA Certification Exam Guide" (With CD-ROM) by Ulrike Schwinn, Jason S.

Re:several peoplesoft databases (schemas) in one Oracle data
Alex, We've done both. Is there a down side, yes on both counts. With multiple Peoplesoft schema's your tablespaces need to be bigger, like initial size times number of schema's plus fudge factor. Also you can get IO bound on certain tablespaces, like PSINDEX real fast. You really can't have separate tablespaces for each schema without doing a LOT of work. You can have separate index tablespaces without too much work though. With multiple instances your system, redo, temp, etc.. disk consumption rises by the number of instances, semaphores and semaphore sets need maintenance, memory needs rise more than you'd believe, and system response time in general drops radically. It's a lot more pain with upgrades, patches, etc. since db links really run between instances instead of doing a loopback (Peoplesoft also ships a synonym script incase you go the non multiple instance route which really works better). Which way do you want to go, depends on your needs and resources. PeopleSoft developers and the like will buck you on having multiple schema's in one instance which I blame on PeopleSoft training, it's bad on this subject. I'd recommend a separate instance for Production and QA/TEST. Development, Demo and AUD can easily reside in the same instance.

I got the notices telling me the TAR has been updated, but I didn't receive the information the tech says he sent me -- at least I can't find it anywhere. My question was re. how we can secure the OEM, i.e. how to ensure that the OEM the DBAs use will be the only one in use to access our databases. What's to stop a developer or an end user from downloading the OEM for free, then using it to send jobs to the databases using the intelligent agents? Nothing, as far as I can see, if we go with the default configurations. I would very much like to see the guidelines I requested re. securing the OEM... I updated the TAR myself, maybe they will "un-soft-close" it. There is someone from Oracle development group on the ODTUG listserv, I sure wish there was someone from customer support or from the Oracle engineers group on this listserv.

Re: parallel server; ops setup
Hi, I'm in digest mode, so here's reply to those OPS questions... I don't think you can set up OPS without a hardware cluster. In fact, if you don't turn on the Lock manager at the os level the Oracle installer won't even show OPS as an installation option! As for other other question re. converting a single instance db to ops... well, you'd be interested to know that to create an ops db I actually create a single instance db first, then do the following: 1. add new threads, ie. a thread per instance 2. shutdown 1st instance 3. create new init.ora for new instances 4. ensure that parallel_server=true. note this is 8i 5. startup all instances All of the above of course assumes that you have set up the hardware and installed ops as someone else has pointed out.

Re: Backup Advice.
Mark, I might suggest that you look into a "Ghost" product for making an image of your PC. I "ghost" my pc and keep the image on the network where it is backed up each night and stored on tape. If I have problems with my PC I load the image to the second drive and I have access to all of the original files. My 2 bits. ROR mm [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/28/01 10:30AM Hi there :) After a rather interesting start of my week, I have a question for you about the backup of local PC test databases. Rant At the end of last week I deleted my current test database along with all Oracle files, and went for a fresh install, due to having some rather interesting ora-600's and a corrupted SYSTEM datafile! Now that was fun to say the least I can tell you! I then went on to try and install Oracle again from a copy of 8.1.6 for Windows NT/2000, which was downloaded from technet, and burned on to a cd, to save disk space.. I had originally installed 8.1.6 from this download, but when I went to decompress the files from the zip, on the CD, I had corruption on the CD!! Now, I dreamed of corrupted datafiles, corrupted CD's, even corrupted politicians over the weekend, and came in early this week to start downloading 8.1.7 (The only bonus in this little story:) which is in fact a download of 584mb. This is now STILL downloading right now at a rate of 4.5kbs, and is scheduled to finish in 17hours, and 37 minutes :( What a joy it is to have to download these extraordinarily huge files over a 56k modem. Even ADSL isn't available here until September.. \Rant The point? Well, I was wondering what you guys do out there to backup any local PC test databases you may have? I have no tape to backup too, and no real experience with backup or recovery situations. I have never backed up Oracle either :) The databases are all pretty static, as we just load up some data exported from our Access tracking system. The database is pretty much used for QA of our performance tools. What files should I backup first of all? There is no real need to have this database running in ARCHIVELOG MODE is there? Also, where would you reccomend backing up to? CD (aahhemmm!!), network drives, seperate directory? I'm really just trying to avoid the fun and games I've had this week, any advice?

Response times with different multiblock read count
Hi All, I am running a test query with different db_file_multiblock_read_count to test the overall throughput. environment: oracle 8.1.6 on hp-ux v11 db_block_size : 16k system is using LVM and file system is using buffered I/O and disk is mirrored but not stripped. I was expecting that having larger multiblock count would result in better performance. But, when I was testing the query with smaller multiblock count,the response time is better. Here is the testing result. Multiblock time in Secs -- 1 12.5 better 2 12.5 better 4 12.6 better 8 27 bad 16 27 bad 32 18.6 okay 64 19.0 okay I don't understand why 8,16 are taking longer time. I did make sure that oracle is issuing proper multiblock read count with the help of multiblock_read_test.sql which is available in Steve Adams's site. Thank you steve for providing valuable information scripts on your web site. select statement that I am using is, select /*+ full(t) noparallel(t) nocache(t) */ count(*) from Table t; I am clueless why it is behaving like this. Please pass your suggestions. If you need more info like oracle/OS settings etc, please let me know. When I was doing some reading on steve adam's site, he suggests the following. Date: 29-Dec-2000 20:55 Nevertheless, it remains best to allow Oracle to use large multiblock reads, as long as the optimizer is not doing inappropriate full scans. The explanation relates to the system call and context switch overheads associated with I/O. It is cheaper in CPU usage terms to request a 256K I/O and allow the operating system to service it in 64K chunks, than to request 4 I/O's of 64K each. As is mentioned in the tip on Why Large Multiblock Reads, the increased latency is not an issue because multiblock reads should not be used in cases where "first rows" response time is critical. Thanks in advance.

I think that you should use different schema's with separate tablespaces. Why? Because your all on one machine therefore all of your background Oracle processes are competing for the same CPU, memory, and IO resources which can and does slow matters down significantly. The best bet in my experience is one large DB instance with a very large SGA, particularly in the DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS area. We've tried both approaches with our PeopleSoft development environments and this works much better than multiple instances. Way too much background CPU Memory burn not to mention all of the wasted disk space for multiple system, temp, rbs, and other tablespaces. It really dings the IO too. BTW: with each schema in it's own tablespace(s) you can still take one offline without crashing the others, unless you need to take system or rbs offline.

Re: Standard vs Enterprise Edition
We use it for all of our small, under 10 gig, NT databases (at last count we had 13). Many of the features of Enterprise are just not needed for these systems because the user/data volume is small and we are not using replication or fine-grain access control. All of the 3rd party applications (except SAP) on site have been coded for standard. These 3rd party vendors don't have good DBAs on staff either, but that is a different topic.

FW: [Fwd: Response times with different multiblock read count]
Prasad, the difference here is : select count(*) does not require the data in all of the columns. if you are going to be including columns that return a large amount of data, then the larger reads should help. As its most likely that the OS read size is 64 KB, it makes sense that a local minimum of the response time function is found at that point. Why don't you retry the query while bringing back all (or most) of the columns? hth, Paul Paul Drake DBA/SysAdmin Professional Software Systems Original Message Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 08:25:31 -0800 Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: Fat City Network Services, San Diego, California To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi All, I am running a test query with different db_file_multiblock_read_count to test the overall throughput. environment: oracle 8.1.6 on hp-ux v11 db_block_size : 16k system is using LVM and file system is using buffered I/O and disk is mirrored but not stripped. I was expecting that having larger multiblock count would result in better performance. But, when I was testing the query with smaller multiblock count,the response time is better. Here is the testing result. Multiblock time in Secs -- 1 12.5 better 2 12.5 better 4 12.6 better 8 27 bad 16 27 bad 32 18.6 okay 64 19.0 okay I don't understand why 8,16 are taking longer time. I did make sure that oracle is issuing proper multiblock read count with the help of multiblock_read_test.sql which is available in Steve Adams's site. Thank you steve for providing valuable information scripts on your web site. select statement that I am using is, select /*+ full(t) noparallel(t) nocache(t) */ count(*) from Table t; I am clueless why it is behaving like this. Please pass your suggestions. If you need more info like oracle/OS settings etc, please let me know. When I was doing some reading on steve adam's site, he suggests the following. Date: 29-Dec-2000 20:55 Nevertheless, it remains best to allow Oracle to use large multiblock reads, as long as the optimizer is not doing inappropriate full scans. The explanation relates to the system call and context switch overheads associated with I/O. It is cheaper in CPU usage terms to request a 256K I/O and allow the operating system to service it in 64K chunks, than to request 4 I/O's of 64K each. As is mentioned in the tip on Why Large Multiblock Reads, the increased latency is not an issue because multiblock reads should not be used in cases where "first rows" response time is critical.

Re: Update existing rows at import
You can't query or modify the same table as the trigger is firing on (The old mutating table problem). What you could do is set up a temp table with a before insert trigger which would query the other table and take the appropriate actions, this would solve you having to run a separate procedure after the temp table was loaded. Or load the temp table and run a procedure. When your done with your insert, truncate the temp table and your ready for your next load.

Re: Nologging
Yes you can issue the alter table nologging but it will only be relevant for certain operations not all UPDATE, DELETE, conventional path INSERT statements. Jim Reference the following I found on metalink: Doc ID: Note:1038660.6 Type: PROBLEM Status: PUBLISHED Content Type: TEXT/PLAIN Creation Date: 21-NOV-1997 Last Revision Date: 02-MAY-2000 Language: USAENG PURPOSE This article gives further information about the options UNRECOVERABLE in Oracle7 and NOLOGGING in Oracle8. SCOPE APPLICATION For users requiring further information about these options. The options UNRECOVERABLE in Oracle7 and NOLOGGING in Oracle8 can be used when creating a table as select. They will send the actual create statement to the redo logs (this information is needed in the data dictionary). All rows loaded into the table during the create are not sent to the redo logs. With UNRECOVERABLE in Oracle7 any subsequent Data Manipulation Language (DML) command on the table WILL be sent to the redo logs. The UNRECOVERABLE option can be used in early versions of Oracle8 but will eventually be replaced by the NOLOGGING option. With NOLOGGING in Oracle8, although you can set the NOLOGGING attribute for a table, partition, index, or tablespace, NOLOGGING mode does not apply to every operation performed on the schema object for which you set the NOLOGGING attribute. Only the following operations can make use of the NOLOGGING option: alter table...move partition alter table...split partition alter index...split partition alter index...rebuild alter index...rebuild partition create table...as select create index direct load with SQL*Loader direct load INSERT All of these SQL statements can be parallelized. They can execute in LOGGING or NOLOGGING mode for both serial and parallel execution. Other SQL statements (such as UPDATE, DELETE, conventional path INSERT, and various DDL statements not listed above) are unaffected by the NOLOGGING attribute of the schema object. -Original Message- To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Jwalski3 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, March 28, 2001 5:25 PM that has nothing to do with the question.
