Windows application - Linux server
Hi all, I would like to develop a windows (Windows 98)application, which will have to connect to an oracle database (8.1.6) running on a Linux machine ( RH 7.0 ). Can somebody please advice me as to which of the following can be chosen: 1). Which language or GUI interface would be efficient? VB, VC++ or is there something else ? 2). Which is the best way to connect to the database? ODBC, OLEDB , Activex Data Objects or anything other than these ? And also how about using pro_c++? This is the first time I am trying to develop an application for Windows, so I donot have any idea about these technologies, but I would like to choose the best one before I start to learn about it. Can someone please help me or guide me to some resource which will provide this information? I don't require information about the technologies themselves, just tell me which the best one is and I will manage to learn it myself. Thanks for any help. PS: Even, if you have experience working with only one of the technologies, please mail back with the experiences you had with it.

Re: Preventing logins from applications
we have prevented DML, but not selects, we didnt much care about selects but changes were not allowed except thru the app. we used the procedure set_client_info, read_client_info which are part of the dbms_application_info package, here is the 10 second guide to implementation: this assumes you can alter the app. 1. your app upon login to the database calls the set_client_info with some key, it can be 40 bytes and we usually made it 40 random characters. 2. a table exists with one or more valid key 3. a before insert,update,delete trigger exists on every table that you want to have security on, it read the client info(via read_client_info proc), compares it to legal values in the valid key table. If it matches, drop out of the trigger, if it does not match, raise an exception, stating invalid appl for updates, notify... 4. We used this not only as a way to make sure only certain apps could update, but when we put out a new version, we changed the key, and didnt let the old version into the database to do updates, since we removed the old keys from the tables. If you want to see some specifics of how we did it, email me direct. joe Denham Eva wrote: Hi Gurus Has anyone ever had to prevent users from accessing the Database from other applications other than those sanctioned by the company. ie prevent users accessing the database using Microsoft's Access and yet still be able to access via the company application which also uses ODBC.

Fast Cold Backup to DDS3
Hi all, I have redundancy set (database files, redo logs, control files, no archive, *.ora) files total about 10 GIG and I need them to be backup every week to DDS3 tape. Current script something like tar -cv file1 tar -uv file2 tar -uv file3 It took 1 whole day operator complain So I thinking to tune this script to be like 1. Shutdown database 2. compress all those files to other name 3. Startup database 4. split those files compressed file if more than 2 GB 5a. tar -cvf file1 file2 file3is all in one block or 5b. tar -cvf /dev/rmt/0n file1is new block tar -cvf /dev/rmt/0n file2is new block My problem is in step 2 and 5 1. how to compress a file with output to other files, so that I can proceed to step #3 without wait till backup finish and uncompress those compressed files. (Perhaps I can copy the compressed file into other name - quick and dirty !!?) 2. To utilise the I/O or not rewinding the tape, what is the suitable option (parameter) for my tar command, especially if we have long block in front of the tape.

Many Thanks Denham If your applications are properly written and use dbms_application_info to record some kind of signature, one solution with Oracle8i and above is a trigger when logging in which you check the current application (and the current user, I guess that you do not want DBAs to be prevented from using SQL*Plus) against the contents of some ALLOWED table (in fact you could mimic what exists with Unix for, say, rsh and the like and have some ALLOW and DENY tables) and fails if needed; a kind of rough generalisation of what Oracle has implemented with SQL*Plus and PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE. With a prior version, you can write some kind of daemon program which scans V$SESSION at regular intervals, and mercilessly kills unwelcome sessions.

If you are going to re-create the control files, you donot have to copy them from the SourceDB to the TargetDB as you will be creating them fresh. The second way to do this is to copy everything as I told you, and create the Oracle service. Get into svrmgrl and issue a Startup Mount command. Then issue "Alter Database Rename File 'E:filename' to 'D:filename" for each and every datafile in your database (Redo Logs, and all Tablespaces). After you have done this, you should be able to issue an Alter Database Open command, and you should be all set. Good Luck!

RE: User/Schema ?
Richard, The easiest way to move the data would be to perform an Export on the production DB, make sure all of the users/roles exist in the TestDB, and perform an Import. You could also set up database links and simply copy the tables (in logical order to make sure all PK/FK constraints will work). Any PL/SQL stuff you have in the Producution DB will need to be moved by hand. Just a comment - if it was me, I would create the same tablespaces in development as in production. A true Dev environment should require a structure that prod would follow - just for proper testing and data access mirroring. It will make changes much easier to apply as you move forward - like if you create a new table, and assign it to a tablespace in dev. If you do not have the same tablespace structure, you would need to remember to change the script for prod. hope this helps Tom Mercadante Oracle Certified Professional -Original Message- Sent: Monday, August 27, 2001 6:22 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L The database setup for an application is as follows...schema1 (owns objects) and schema2 (accesses objects owned by schema1).

Re:RE: Permanent Tablespace for sorting.
Chris, I've always used a permanent tablespace for temp and have not had the problems you state. But it does take some consistency to maintain. 1- we never allow anyone a quota on temp or even allow anyone to have that as their default. Come to think of it only sys has system as it's default tablespace. We also do not allow 'unlimited tablespace' even to purchased apps. 2- The ST enqueue has not been a problem, actually have 0 contention there even in the data warehouse. 3- we don't back it up. Have had one get trashed, along with the disk drive. Did an offline drop and rebuilt it elsewhere.

Re:How fast are your tape backups?
J.C. and Sinardy, I'll try to compress two threads into one since they are almost identical. Backing up the database to tape can be a major pain and time consumer if you allow the backup software to do the data compression for you. Hardware compression done inside the tape subsystem is always faster since your using cache ram outside of your system and dedicated chips for the purpose. Therefore to get your SA's or Operators off of your backs try it that way. If your on a UNIX type of system you'll notice several device files for the tape drive, use lssf to see what each is set up for and use the one that allows the drive to do the compression. I know NT does not allow that, but I believe Tivoli does have a 'switch' that will force the compression onto the drive. Dick Goulet Reply Separator Author: J.C.

Materialized Views
Hi List, I am having trouble replicating a schema onto another database. I have looked at the Oracle documentation and am having a hard time deciding which steps to take in accomplishing this task. The schema includes tables indexes, packages, and triggers. I have had success in creating a materialized view but am unsure how it all works with regards to including indexes, packages, and triggers and creating materialized groups.

Re: creating the database from another
Thank you Thomas . - Original Message - From: Mercadante, Thomas F To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2001 4:11 PM Subject: RE: creating the database from another Bunyamin There are two ways to do this. The easiest way is to re-create the control files like I told you in the last email. Before you run the sql script, be sure and edit it to change the location of all of the data files from the E to the D drive. As far as the "reuse" command, you can ignore it. If you are going to re-create the control files, you donot have to copy them from the SourceDB to the TargetDB as you will be creating them fresh. The second way to do this is to copy everything as I told you, and create the Oracle service. Get into svrmgrl and issue a Startup Mount command. Then issue "Alter Database Rename File 'E:filename' to 'D:filename" for each and every datafile in your database (Redo Logs, and all Tablespaces). After you have done this, you should be able to issue an Alter Database Open command, and you should be all set. Good Luck!

RE: Restoring from half a backup
Yes, you would need to rebuild the control file without the other tablespace(s) and open with reset logs. Then immediately backup the database. Then you can create a new tablespace for indexes, and create the indexes again.

Title: OT: system trivia (groove/programming): DOS prompt/etc and choppy sound Sorry Kevin, the latter of my response was to ep, and actually as I re-read it, I didn't explain fully. What I actually meant was to check whether the audio device (your sound card) is sharing an IRQ # with another device, such as your network card - or it could even be your hard drive. What will then happen is when you are playing a CD, you go to boot a program, and you HD has to do work to pull the program in to memory - but this disrupts your sound card as they are both sharing the same interrupt request..

Re: Efficient way to monitor table growth...
Here's a script (for Oracle 8) that will show you exactly how much space a given table uses, as opposed to how much space its extents have reserved.

RE: RE: Permanent Tablespace for sorting.
When it is perm, you need to recovery it like a normal tablespace if moving it or recovering, unless you offline it or rebuild the control file, with a temporary tablespace it is just not part of the database. It is a bit simplier, although you can get around it. Although both work perfectly fine, it is syntaxtic sugar as I would say to just set it as temporary (tempfile) and not have to worry about it period. As for putting objects into it, agreed, you can avoid it, but with a temporary tablespace you do not need to worry about it at all. This is a minor problem, but is something to note. As for ST enqueue, perhaps you do not have problems with the ST enqueue, but there are many cases where perm tablespace for sorting causes ST enqueue contention, most notably when doing parallel segment creation. It is well documented that perm temporary tablespaces cause more contention on the ST enqueue. When you have a perm temporary tablespace, for every extent created you need to hold the ST enqueue exclusively. This WILL cause ST enqueue contention, it is very possible you are not suffering from large waits due to this. Do not criticize someone until you walked a mile in their shoes, that way when you criticize them, you are a mile a way and have their shoes. Christopher R.

RE: Change parameter without restart db
Also look in the table v$parameter. There is a collumn called ISSES_MODIFYABLE. The name stands for Is Session Modifiable. i.e. Can you change the parameter on the fly in the session. If this is true, then a bounce is not required. -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2001 9:11 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Depends on the parameter. Check out 'alter system' and 'alter database' also a look through the reference manual for your version will have a list of parameters and if their dynamic (you can change them without a restart) or static (meaning you'll have to bounce the database).

OT: Why you want to be a DBA and other stories
Hi All, Meanderings on various topics brought on by the fact that I am just about to start a 3 month leave of absence for my honeymoon. Kids are grown, mortgage is paid, time for a HOLIDAY!!! Any members of the list who reside in Portugal and would be interested in getting together please email me offline. We are planning on starting in the North at Santiago de Compostenala and wandering south to the Algarve. If it is cold and rainy we will move south quicker :) As we will be visiting family in England first, anyone in the Sheffield, Hull, down through Leiscester and Luton areas please feel free to contact me. We will be in the UK from Sept 8 through the 14 Linux and Oracle If you are going to run a serious Linux box learn to how to compile kernels and what the library dependencies are. The distribution is irrelevant. The kernel and libraries are what is important. My current production box was originally a Slackware 1.2.13 distro, I doubt any of it is left. Kernel 2.2.9 and I don't remember what I had to do for the libraries is what is currently on the server. My webservers are 2.2.19 and nicely stable but my dbserver had it's first crash in over 200 days recently so I am not touching it. Oracle 8.0.5 pre production. (Over 200 days, I wonder if it is related to the SUN 248 day bug) PDA's Having just purchased a Compaq IPAQ to keep in touch I am extremely impressed. It is basically equivalent to the 486 DX33 I had on my desk 5 - 6 years ago. It is capable of being my main computer. I just wish they would break this stupid dependency on syncing with a desktop. I would load Linux on it but I just don't have the time right now. The expansion pack allows the use of most PCMCIA and Compact Flash cards. Vaccines I am sure glad that the dispute over vaccination did not exist when we were raising our litltle ones. Having seen a child with whooping cough, and having worked with autistic kids (whooping cough vaccine is known to cause autism in a very small percentage of cases) I don't know which is worse. I think the only rational way is to look at the odds, in most cases the safest course of action is to get vaccinated HTML I do not receive any posting with HTML in it. This removes 70% of the boring RTFM type questions. The downside is I do not get to see Lisa's and Matt's questions and answers anymore Sigh Do I have to beg?? I notice the prolific off topic posters rarely include HTML :) Along the same lines is editing replies to shorten the original postings would be another courteous action many could take . Again the HTML stripper I use often works since at least one of the quoted people use HTML. Having been on the list for a number of years now, I must say that as social meeting place it ihas become much better, as a technical resource it is slightly worse, and I still read it as avidly as ever.

Re: Windows application - Linux server
Ad 1. If you need only forms to read your data and business logic is simple: - I think that the best way is create packages with business logic in PL/SQL on server and put output on a web server to view it using standard web browser. You haven't to install any stuff on client workstation (program, net8 or ODBC, configuration ...) If your users need to analyze data extracted from db: - Forgott VB - you cannot handle data well and you will die from upgrading every workstation during installation of your soft. - If you will use VC++ - perfect GUI is a pain, use some RAD tool like Borland builder or any other.

OT: Burning game CD's
I believe this is way off topic and not for this list as well, but... the concept was not making archival copies for yourself but the thread had gone to, I have the crack for that software if you want it, that is the illegal part. The previous is not actually illegal, cracks have never been illegal, especially when it comes to cds, as you need to have the cd to actually crack it. Intent to distribute to parties who do not own legal licenses is illegal. Since cracks, like guns are not always used in illegal ways, are perfectly legal. But then again, they say Guns don't kill people, people do. Do not criticize someone until you walked a mile in their shoes, that way when you criticize them, you are a mile a way and have their shoes. Christopher R.

As far as I know, this should be fine, if they're in two different ORACLE_HOMEs, owned by two different users, etc, have their listeners running on different ports, etc, there no reason for one ORACLE_HOME to even be aware of the other (i.e. it wouldn't even need read permission on its directory).

Hi, We recently had some oracle block corruptions on a couple of databases, while testing our move to EMC storage..Although it may not be directly related to the EMC storage, there is debate going on as to what might be the actual cause of corruption. There is no disk or hardware failure, but there was a power outage and the server has to be rebooted.. Is it possible to find out the root cause of the oracle block corruption? Either through Oracle or OS? Thanks in advance..

RE: Oracle Applications patches
Title: RE: Oracle Applications patches I presume that is 500 per module and there must be about 30 modules by now, with perhaps an average of 7 or 8 modules on each installation The normal method is to install a full patchset which is a collection of a number of patches (i.e GL Patchset J etc). At sites where I have worked adding a patch is usually the last resort and it has to be a significant problem before the patch is applied. A new patchset install normally involves a lot of testing if there has been any form of customisation of the application.

To make the long story short, Swedes wanted to save the money needed for the translator, so they entrusted the job of finding a catch phrase for selling their precious vacuum cleaners on the US market to a guy whose experience with the English language consisted mainly of watching two episodes of I love Lucy on TV. He came up with the phrase Nothing sucks like Electrolux, which for some reason beyond comprehension failed to boost sales but it certainly did make it to the marketing history books. I wonder if the miraculous marketeer was promoted after making the marketing history? Gogala, Mladen, 8/3: AFAIK, the phrase the whole 9 yards precedes WWII and comes from WWI. Allegedly, it was the size of the ammo belt for the maxim machine gun. The whole 9 yards meant to fire it all.

Re:RE: Permanent Tablespace for sorting.
I suppose the response to this would be why bother?. temp tablespaces (especially tempfile ones) will have - less impact on redo logs - allows current ( or future) use of standby for read-only - no need for any offline drop etc Cheers Connor --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Chris, I've always used a permanent tablespace for temp and have not had the problems you state. But it does take some consistency to maintain. 1- we never allow anyone a quota on temp or even allow anyone to have that as their default. Come to think of it only sys has system as it's default tablespace. We also do not allow 'unlimited tablespace' even to purchased apps. 2- The ST enqueue has not been a problem, actually have 0 contention there even in the data warehouse. 3- we don't back it up.

Did someone impugn my dignity? To the list, without Cc'ing me? Goodness, what is the world coming to. :O Ok, for those of you that don't know, I am the owner of this often useful, always hectic and sometimes crazy list. This list is not moderated for a number of reasons. 1. I trust people to behave themselves. 2. There's lots of creative folks here and good ideas come from free-range thinking. ( kinda like free-range chicken you know? we even lay eggs sometimes ) 3. It's more interesting that way 4. I don't have time. Did I mention I don't have time to moderate this list? The reason I asked to discontinue the questionable activity regarding cracking CD copyright infringement schemes is chiefly this: *I don't want or need the hassle!* I'm one of the people that the lawyers will call. Yes it has happened. I don't like to talk to lawyers. Especially when they've loosened up their holsters. Bruce Bergman is the owner of fatcity.com, and he doesn't like to talk to lawyers either. So, in a nutshell, the only times I've ever 'cracked down' on this list are. 1. a sociopath that was baiting everyone 2. Racial/ethnic/sexual humor 3. blatantly offensive material ( i.e. I received many complaints ) 4. Off Topic threads that just go on too long. So, you probably won't hear from me often in the capacity of list owner. But if you do, it's nothing personal, please just be polite and gracious, and this list will be of benefit for everyone.
