starting up 8i on Win2000 Problems
Hello, I am new to the Windows Platform. I have a Oracle 8i (8.1.6.0.0) on a Windows 2000 system. My problem is this, when I shutdown the system, using svrmgrl and the command shutdown immediate. The system shuts down as one would expect with no errors. However when I try restarting the instance, also in svrmgrl as I have done thousands of time in UNIX, she refuses. Giving either: cannot open the database EXCLUSIVE OR the initPWD.ora is incorrect or corrupt. I have been forced to bounce this system, were she will startup automatically without a whisper of complaint. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have any idea what has gone wrong? Does anyone have a soulution?

Re: Invalid packages not being recompiled by Oracle
Hi Paul, I agree completely with you and feel your pain. I have a workaround though, if the changes made to your package does not affect the specification(i.e no new parameters, no new functions/procedures) really, for changes only to the package body, You can do a ALTER PACKAGE package_name COMPILE BODY This does not invalidate the dependent packages. My thinking is that the dependency is on the specification. Try it out. HTH, Niyi - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2001 11:41 PM Thanks Lisa and others, The dbms_utility.compile_schema will work. It is a bit annoying though as this involves six schemas and hundreds of packages to be recompiled. Fortunatly I do keep control and there are no circular dependencies in the packages. I am sending out an order of dependency among the schemas to the appropriate people. The recursive error seems to have been fixed when I patched to 8.0.5.2.1. Has anyone seen it in 8.1.7? It seems to be only for one package that this happens. It is larger than the rest at 6000 lines and 250 KB Modifying the application to execute again isn't really feasible in this case. There are dozens of packages that refer to this packages. Each one would have to be modified and fully regression tested. As far as standard behavior, Oracle is supposed to (and does in all other cases except for this package) automatically recompile any package flagged as invalid at execution time. It should only raise an error when the package in question can not be recompiled. In this case, the user can 'alter package package_name compile' and all is fixed, provided the 'user' is privileged to do so. Obviously, in production there aren't many who can do this. Any thoughts as to how or what could cause this normal behavior to fail? - Paul -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2001 1:20 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L HI Paul, By chance can you use dbms_utility.compile_Schema after recompiling? Are you using it already? I know it doesn't answer your quesiton but this package is suppossed to follow the dependencies, no matter how odd they are (what you are describing below is pretty weird). HTH Lisa Koivu Database Bored Administrator Ft. Lauderdale, FL, USA -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2001 2:56 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L We have one package A that refers to package B. If package B's body and specification are both recompiled by user 1, package A is correctly marked as invalid. Another user, user 2, then attempts to execute package A and gets the following error stack: -- ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded -- ORA-04061: existing state of package B has been invalidated -- ORA-04065: not executed, altered or dropped package B -- ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called -- ORA-06512: at B, line n ORA-06512: at line 2 User 2 then issues the statement 'alter package A compile;' It compiles successfully and user 2 can now execute the package. Why does Oracle not automatically recompile package A as it should? Since user 2 was able to recompile the package in its existing state, Oracle should not have failed at doing so. User 2's session instantiation of package A (as well as all of their other instantiated packages) should have been lost when package A was invalidated. I understand that two possible options are: (1) Flush the shared pool after recompiling; and (2) Manually recompile all dependent packages (such as A).

Having read the other responses, and thinking odd, I've been doing this for years, I've spotted the source of your confusion: Oracle does automatically recompile package A as it should. ;-) The problem is that package B declares some package variables, and user 2 has already invoked it at some point in their session. So when B is recompiled by user 1, the package variables of user 2 will need to be flushed, and reinitialised. This doesn't happen until they reinvoked A, which then produces the exception that you're discovering. This is really just a warning, to tell you that the variables are being flushed (and at this point the reset happens). If the operation is tried again, it'll succeed. So you could code...

RE: Invalid packages not being recompiled by Oracle
Paul, From what I remember, if a package has been marked invalid and a user tries to execute it, it DOES get re-compiled at that time, but does not get executed. So the FIRST call to an invalid Package changes it's state to valid. The Second call will actually execute the package. The only other suggestion I have (other than running UTLRP, or dbms_utility.compile_schema) would be to write a short SQL script to look at the ALL_DEPENDENCIES table, looking for all PACKAGES that are dependent on the package you just re-compiled to compile them for you. This would cut down the amount of work you would need to do. Personally, I would test UTLRP to be sure it works for you before I wrote my own script. Tom Mercadante Oracle Certified Professional -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2001 5:41 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Thanks Lisa and others, The dbms_utility.compile_schema will work. It is a bit annoying though as this involves six schemas and hundreds of packages to be recompiled. Fortunatly I do keep control and there are no circular dependencies in the packages. I am sending out an order of dependency among the schemas to the appropriate people. The recursive error seems to have been fixed when I patched to 8.0.5.2.1. Has anyone seen it in 8.1.7? It seems to be only for one package that this happens. It is larger than the rest at 6000 lines and 250 KB Modifying the application to execute again isn't really feasible in this case. There are dozens of packages that refer to this packages. Each one would have to be modified and fully regression tested. As far as standard behavior, Oracle is supposed to (and does in all other cases except for this package) automatically recompile any package flagged as invalid at execution time. It should only raise an error when the package in question can not be recompiled. In this case, the user can 'alter package package_name compile' and all is fixed, provided the 'user' is privileged to do so. Obviously, in production there aren't many who can do this. Any thoughts as to how or what could cause this normal behavior to fail? - Paul -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2001 1:20 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L HI Paul, By chance can you use dbms_utility.compile_Schema after recompiling?

Re: Influencing commit interval of read-only replication's refresh gr
Hi, does some one know of a way to force the refresh process of a read-only snapshot group to commit at predefined intervals: by table, by n number of rows or any other way? The problem that we are facing is that a refresh group has some rapidly changing tables and the rollback segment is not big enough. TIA, Tamas Szecsy -- Tamas, A refresh group is a set of related (through FKs and the like) tables. Not committing before everything has been replicated is the Oracle way to fudge the integrity constraint violation issue (don't forget that they have one log per table, not a single chronological log). Either you begin writing your own refresh functions, or you find a way to split your refresh group into subgroups for which referential integrity would not be a problem, or you increase the rate of refresh. I don't see anytging else.

Re[2]: What's lock/unlock mechnism
One can influence the locking of data via the lock table command and for update of portions of a SQL cursor. As a general rule of thumb I totally discourage anyone from ever using the lock table command. Certainly the process within the server is complicated as needs be, but it is one of the best I've seen in terms of concurrency and consistency. If your having a problem with clients being able to access data that is locked by another client then the problem is either in their application and/or their use of the application. I've seen problems where a user updated a number of records in SQL*Plus and then decided to go to lunch while the statement completed. A second user then tried to update a different column in a number of the same records only to get locked out. The answer was to have a few words with the first users manager, who BTW was the second user's manager as well. From then on this individual never left a statement just to run by itself the problem has not re-occurred. In general locking issues are VERY infrequently a server side problem though that is where it is implemented. Instead they are almost always a client side issue. Also, there is no way that I can think of for a client to manage their locks without involving the server. Dick Goulet Reply Separator Author: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 6/29/2001 2:01 AM Hi, To find out more about the locking mechanism you can try the oracle concepts manual Jack Helen rwulfjeq lannyue@yahoo To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] .comcc: (bcc: Jack van Zanen/nlzanen1/External/MEY/NL) Sent by: Subject: Re: What's lock/unlock mechnism [EMAIL PROTECTED] om 28-06-2001 21:40 Please respond to ORACLE-L Thank you very much for your response.

Bunyamin No one said this is a poorly performing system, as it isn't even built yet. Allocating 50% of your memory may be possible, but also may be a bad idea, it really depends on the system, which we know nothing about other than it has 8 gig of memory. If it's a data warehouse, it's probably a bad idea. There's usually a lot of full tables scans and little need for a large data block buffer size or a large shared pool. On a DW though, there is a need for a lot of system memory to satisfy the parallel processes and sort_area_size requirements.

advanced replication
I was beginning to think advanced replication looked like a reasonable solution for an applicaiton. Then I read: Replication environments supporting both multimaster and snapshot replication can be challenging to configure and manage. To help administer these replication environments, Oracle provides a sophisticated management tool called Oracle Replication Manager. Coupled with the absence of a config guide, am I to guess that Oracle is underpining it's advanced technology with a toy OS? This would be ironic, pathetic, and unacceptable. Please tell me I've missed the real config guide. === Ray Stell [EMAIL PROTECTED] (540) 231-4109 KE4TJC28^D -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Ray Stell INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California-- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

RE: Two indexes same columns
Connie, When you create the PK constraint, Oracle automatically creates a unique index to enforce it. You should explicitly name the tablespace in which this index is to be created. Otherwise Oracle will just create it in the scema owner's default tablespace - not necessarily a performance enhancer, since that could be the very tablespace in which the table resides. The PK index is all you need on the PK columns, unless you frequently access the table via the 2nd (or 3rd) PK column. Then you could create a UK on the same columns, but in a different order. It all depends on your application's access of the table, as well as the FKs you've defined (you need an index on each FK to reduce table locking - see the docs for more info.). Jack Jack C.

Good Beginner Oracle book recommendations:
Hello, I inherited an oracle database not too long ago, and I've never used Oracle. So far it's running fine and I've been able to wing the startup/shutdown procedures from looking on the net, and most of the time just keeping my fingers crossed. Went to the book store yesterday, there are a lot of Oracle books, but I decided before I go and spend anywhere from $60 - $100, I'd like to know what books you guys would recommend a semi-newbie Oracle DBA. I'm looking for something that I can use as a reference when I need to, and also something I can read in my spare time to better understand Oracle. www.nul.cjb.net www.FreeBSD.org _ Do You Yahoo!?

Off Topic posts hit the limit
Dear list members, Due to the fact that I am once again employed, I find that I no longer have time to read every message on Oracle-L. In fact, I don't have time at the moment to read most of them. So when I go home, and cozy up to the computer for a read of what's going on in Oracle-L, I find that the off topic posts are outnumbering the relevant posts. I'm a defender of having some off topic stuff in this forum, but it's gotten out of hand. Many of the threads have useful information in them, but there are so many off topic posts in the thread that it takes much too long to find the posts that are technically interesting. Please, take if offline if just a few of you are engaging in a side topic that has no relevance to the real subject. It makes it pretty hard for the person that started the thread to find any useful information.

RE: Setting PCTFREE PCTUSED in a Datawarehouse
Title: RE: Setting PCTFREE PCTUSED in a Datawarehouse Hi Vikas, The docs should have discussed the reason why. High pctused can lead to a block going on and off the freelist frequently as deletes/inserts are processed, and also can leave the amount of free space inadequate for a new insert (your avg_rowlen comes into play here). So what you'd end up with is several blocks on the freelist that don't have enough free space for an insert, and every time an insert is processed it goes thorugh the freelist and checks for space in the block. The performance hit comes when too many blocks have to be checked for adequate space. Does that make sense? Now some people on this list have debated that PCTFREE/PCTUSED is so low level and that performance really is not affected that much.

Was this an upgrade from a previous version? Or new install?
What script did you run to get the SQL command help. I know where the
one for SQL*Plus resides, but it does not contain SQL help.

RE: Sql question
Title: RE: Sql question John, I see two options. Both include a cross reference table with every date in it. 1.

RE: Sql question
John,
just fooling around, I came up with this. run it thru sqlplus.
obviously, change the table reference to your table.
set serveroutput on
spool results.xls
DECLARE
l_date DATE;
start_date DATE := to_date('s_date','mm/dd/');
end_Date DATE := to_date('e_Date','mm/dd/');
loc_sum number;
BEGIN
l_date := start_date;
LOOP
SELECT SUM(col1)
INTO loc_sum
FROM TOM3
WHERE crdate = l_date;
dbms_output.put_line(TO_CHAR(l_date,'mm/dd/') || CHR(9) ||
nvl(loc_sum,0));
l_date := l_date + 1;
EXIT WHEN l_date end_date;
END LOOP;
END;

hope this helps

My table t1 has date and quantity values (may be more than one quantity

and I want 0 for all dates in the range where no data exists.
Is there a sql to get this without making some kind of date table?

RE: Griping about auditing (not the Oracle Kind)
As you might have gathered from my previous e-mail I'm not a big fan of functional division as opposed to project division. Since I was moved to a different building from the developers much of the time I don't spend dealing with the new paperwork and bureaucracy I spend on the phone. I can see the temptation that people have to just say, 'don't think about working *with* the developers, just put their stuff into production and send it back if it doesn't compile' (this is my current job description), but I'm still holding onto doing some review, helping them with SQL, recommending hints, etc. Don't know how much longer I'll be able to keep doing it (though the appreciation and thanks from the developers helps a lot). My impression (this is confirmed by a friend who was a product manager at his company and is now leading a consulting team) is that this is the latest management fad. According to my friend this goes in waves, with everyone moving to functional division, then project division, then back again. He's been through a few shifts back and forth in his time. This is my first one.

Lately, however, I have started working on another project (in addition to my usual stuff) that has the sysadmin, development, System dba, and Application dba responsibilities spread across different group.

Very strange to have development arrive, review it for application impact, then send off any physical database change requests to another group. I don't seem any valid reason to stratify the various responsibilities in this manner as it only seems to add several more layers of beauracracy without adding any addition value. So, a) am I alone, or have others seen this sort of stratification, and b) is my griping simply the loss of turf and the slowly broiling coup to get it back, or is it somewhat valid?
