Title: Clarification on External procedure in Oracle 8.1.6





Hi all...


 I believe any of u Would be of GREAT help... 


I have been trying Calling C functions from pl/sql using Oracle 8i's External Routine. It works. But when I try to call the Pro*C function after precompiling it .. it is failing at connect itself. I have used 

EXEC SQL Connect username identified by passwd;


 The same Pro*c WORKS FINE when I try it from the command line. 


 Have any of u tried calling Pro*C from Pl/sql. If YES. could u .. Send me an example or some resource from wherein I can proceed with my work.


Thanx a lot in advance


Ramesh.

Re: Fwd: Re: How to select and display 10 records at a time from a table using sql query

2001-08-30 Thread sundeep maini

You can use the Rank () function to rank your rows
based on a simple or complex criteria in a subquery or
an inline view and then extract the requisite set by
using a simple condition on the Rank col. Below is a
simple example just to give you some idea of what is
possible. You may want to take a look at some ref
manual to explore this for meeting your particular
requirement (Best place is Datawarehousing Guide):

SELECT keycol, 
   some_other_col(s)
  FROM (SELECT keycol, 
   some_other_col(s),
   RANK() OVER (ORDER BY keycol) AS
Ranking
  FROM mytable
 WHERE condition(s) 
)
  WHERE ranking between 11 and 20; == alter this
cond. to get a different set. You can use more complex
criteria in ranking/ordering your rows.

  But this will return only the first ten rows not
 subsequent sets. How do I
  display rows from 11 to 20, 21 to 30 and so on?
 
 ROWNUM is counting output tuples. You cannot use
 ROWNUM  10.
 
 I think you have to order select by your primary
 key, make filter based on
 your primary key and  take only first 10 tuples
 using ROWNUM.

I think that much better than voluntary contributions will be some

am sure that
everybody working with Oracle and living in US or UK or other developed

developing countries - I am sure these subscription fees will generate more
than $500 per month.

 IMHO it may be easier to spool the contents of dummy1, dummy2, dummy3

probably take you less time.

Hello ORACLE-L list members --

I would like to take a few minutes of your time for a State of the Union
address, if you can call it that.  This is a rather serious message, and I
request that you take the time to read this message entirely.  I've got a
problem that needs resolution this week, and I'm hoping you folks can help
me come to a conclusion.  This message turned out to be fairly
long-winded, so please excuse me for that. :-)

Fat City (fatcity.com) is my company, and I am the provider of the list
services that you receive ORACLE-L through.  I've been hosting Internet
mailing lists for over 10 years, and carry quite a few lists, including a
big selection of Oracle-related lists (14, in fact).  Fat City has always
been a labor of love for me.  Over the years it has rarely generated any
income at all, and it usually does not cover my expenses -- most of the
time
it is a monthly loss for me.  The vast majority of my 60+ mailing lists
have
been hosted for free, at my expense (as is the ORACLE-L list, for example).
Yet I have absorbed these costs because I enjoy hosting discussion lists
and I know a lot of lists can't afford to pay for quality service.

I am soon to be one of the Rhythms Orphans.  Rhythms, my DSL provider, has
gone bankrupt and will be out of business by 10-Sep-2001.  I need to find
another provider of high-speed Internet in order to continue operations.  I
am at the point of either folding shop completely and going out of business
myself, or trying to make Fat City a viable, money-making endeavor.  I need
to make this decision by this Friday (for financial and planning reasons).
After Friday, I am committed one way or the other.

My upstream ISP and I are on very good terms, and in fact, I've been a
customer of theirs since 1985!  As a result, they have graciously offered
to help me out of this situation at considerable expense to themselves.
I'm not at liberty to discuss the terms of the contract I would engage in
with them, but suffice to say that is one of those once-in-a-lifetime
opportunities that I'd be a fool to pass up.  I have this offer personally
from the President of that company, if I want it.  Simply said, my ability
to take them up on their offer and switch Fat City over to a dedicated T1
or
better solution revolves around being able to generate quite a bit of
additional
income per month, and very soon.  In an effort to be open and up-front with
you folks about this, I basically need to generate an additional $500 more
per
month. Right now that seems daunting, but I've been working hard to line up
that
additional income, and I believe I can do it.  Just not right away.  My
estimates are that it will take me four or five months to come up to that
level.  I need to get out there and sell website hosting and list hosting
packages, and get new customers.  That takes time, unfortunately.  I need a
buffer to enable me to get past this startup phase.

After some discussions with Jared (the list owner), and some encouragement
from him, I am coming to you to ask for you help in keeping Fat City
financially afloat until I can be self sufficient.  I'm not asking for a
specific dollar amount from anyone, nor am I *expecting* anything from you
folks.  But if it is within your power to contribute some money towards
this
end (and yes, I know these are hard financial times for everyone), I am
hoping you can help.  If I can get sufficient promise of funds that will
see
me through the next few months, I am willing to jump in with both feet and
make Fat City a viable business.  If it looks like the contributions are
not
sufficient to enable me to do that, I will cease operations within the next
45-60 days.

Let me be clear about a few things: If I *do* cease operations, I will give
all of my lists time to find new list providers, and will make every effort
to aid the shift over to the new provider, provide list dumps, archives,
mail forwarding, etc.  Even though Rhythms goes out of business on
10-Sep-2001, I have secured service until at least 10-Oct-2001 to enable
this to happen.  So don't worry about having to rush into your conversion
if
things don't work out.  I would

annual sub since the cost of currency conversion can be steep on small sums.

Just had a chat to the boss, and we would happily pay $10 per month for the
service, provided that there was an easy way for us to pay for it such as
a credit card since we are based in England.

How about Corporate Sponsorship?

I think that much better than voluntary contributions will be some
s*u*b*s*c*r*i*p*t*i*o*n fees - like $1 per month or better $12 per year. I
am sure that
everybody working with Oracle and living in US or UK or other developed
country can afford such fees. We will not need to charge people from
developing countries - I am sure these subscription fees will generate more
than $500 per month.

The 

database consistency tools ?

2001-08-30 Thread Maya Kenner



Hello,

Excuse me for this 
maybe dummy question, I am new at Oracle and coming from Sybase world, I 
subscribed to this list 1 week ago. If my question is answered somewhere in 
archived place, please feel free to direct me to this place.

I am looking for 
Oracle built-in tools to check/verify consistency of the db/tables/indexes 
etc...

Sybase provides a 
set of tools to verify/check/repair the database/tables/indexes logical and 
physical consistency called dbcc .
This will allow to 
check allocation structures , page and object linkage (sybase page is equivalent 
to an oracle block and an object is a table,index,view...).

To say that in 
Oracle words, the tools will verify that the oracle block(s)/extent(s) which are 
allocated to an objectis/are effectively allocated to this object and that 
the different blocks/extents(s) are correctly linked 
together.

Does this make sense 
to you ?

Thanks, 
Maya

No, and I don't think we should. Oracle sponsorship would mean they might 
want to control contents of the list

IOUGA sponsors user groups - it's a remote possibility that we could get 
them to define us as a user group and then give us a grant to cover Bruce's 
expenses. But it would take longer than Bruce has at the moment.

 appreciate the value of the list without having seen any content over time

 then we can better evangelize new believers in the list. Broad
 participation keeps the list healthy. In order to keep the list healthy we
 need to be constantly adding new members and the best way to do this is to
 make it free and easy. Another approach would be to make the first 6 months
 free but this could be an administrative burden to enforce. So I think
 voluntary contributions are the way to go... Do I have an Amen?

 On my web page I maintain an Amazon.com payments paybox, which is for
 collecting anonymous donations.  I think if Bruce sets up a paybox for
 each list he hosts free of charge, and included a pledge request in
 the list footers, there will be a steady stream of donations.
 
 Amazon calls this the Honor System, and it can be found at:
 
 http://auctions.amazon.com/exec/varzea/subst/fx/home.html
 
 It is basically like paypal, etc, but you can put the paybox inline
 with any HTML, and it allows anonymous donations. The fee to Amazon is
 15% of the total payment per transaction plus 15 cents.
 
 I work for Amazon, so feel free to flame me for shamelessly promoting
 my own product as a solution to this.  As an act of contrition, I
 promise to pay US$50 into any form of collection that Bruce sets up,
 Amazon or not.

   Hello ORACLE-L list members --
  
   I would like to take a few minutes of your time for a State of the
 Union
   address, if you can call it that.  This is a rather serious message, and
 I
   request that you take the time to read this message entirely.  I've got
 a
   problem that needs resolution this week, and I'm hoping you folks can
 help
   me come to a conclusion.  This message turned out to be fairly
   long-winded, so please excuse me for that. :-)
  
   Fat City (fatcity.com) is my company, and I am the provider of the list
   services that you receive ORACLE-L through.  I've been hosting Internet
   mailing lists for over 10 years, and carry quite a few lists, including
 a
   big selection of Oracle-related lists (14, in fact).  Fat City has
 always
   been a labor of love for me.  Over the years it has rarely generated any
   income at all, and it usually does not cover my expenses -- most of the
   time
   it is a monthly loss for me.  The vast majority of my 60+ mailing lists
   have
   been hosted for free, at my expense (as is the ORACLE-L list, for
 example).
   Yet I have absorbed these costs because I enjoy hosting discussion lists
   and I know a lot of lists can't afford to pay for quality service.
  
   I am soon to be one of the Rhythms Orphans.  Rhythms, my DSL provider,
 has
   gone bankrupt and will be out of business by 10-Sep-2001.  I need to
 find
   another provider of high-speed Internet in order to continue operations.
 I
   am at the point of either folding shop completely and going out of
 business
   myself, or trying to make Fat City a viable, money-making endeavor.  I
 need
   to make this decision by this Friday (for financial and planning
 reasons).
   After Friday, I am committed one way or the other.
  
   My upstream ISP and I are on very good terms, and in fact, I've been a
   customer of theirs since 1985!  As a result, they have graciously
 offered
   to help me out of this situation at considerable expense to themselves.
   I'm not at liberty to discuss the terms of the contract I would engage
 in
   with them, but suffice to say that is one of those once-in-a-lifetime
   opportunities that I'd be a fool to pass up.  I have this offer
 personally
   from the President of that company, if I want it.  Simply said, my
 ability

Parallelism in oracle8i

2001-08-30 Thread Soman Manoj

Hi,

We are doing testing of oracle 8i parallelism features
on unix HP 11 .
We have done 2 partitions on the table ib020mb_3
on a field adt_date with the following details
(partition p1 values less than('22-apr-2000')
tablespace CONTRACT,
 partition p2 values less
than('01-jUn-2000')tablespace CONTRACT1).

Each of these partitions are in different tablespace.
Each of this tablespace are on different disks(data
files on different
disk ) in unix environment. We have 4 processors and 4
controllers
(like disk drives) to write on disk.

With this details we are running the following query
with and without 
degree of parallelism specified.

select  adt_date from ib020mb_3
where adt_date '01-jun-2000'

But we are taking more time with parallelism. We have
tried the query with 
different degrees of parallelism. Currently we are
fetching approx. 15 lac records.
We have tested with a different table and different
set of records but still we
are taking more time with degree of parallelism
specified.

Could you please suggest why we are taking more time .

The following are the tkprof generated for this
queries:

 I haven't got a change to test it. I will try it sometime today. However,
 page 11-11 of Oracle8i Backup and Recovery Guide (8.1.5) states that Do
not
 use this port-specific string if you have specified type disk.

 Thanks,

 I haven't tried it for disk, as I am backing up to tape and am happy about
 it.  I mentioned that when I tested this param on NT/EDM, I experienced
 marked improvements by setting this value from the default of 64k up to
2M.
 There was no appreciable difference setting the parameter higher.

  You might look at the BLKSIZE parameter.  I did some basic tests using

  fastest for my installation.  I think the default is 64k.

  Hi All,
 
  I use RMAN to do a full backup of 120G database while the database is up
  running. It takes around 6 hours to finish. I have 61 data files and
  manually allocate 6 channels. For all the RMAN parameters such as
  FILESPERSET, I take the default.
 
  Does anybody there know how to maximize the throughput?
 
  Thanks,
 
  Michael

I think that much better than voluntary contributions will be some
s*u*b*s*c*r*i*p*t*i*o*n fees - like $1 per month or better $12 per year. I
am sure that
everybody working with Oracle and living in US or UK or other developed
country can afford such fees. We will not need to charge people from
developing countries - I am sure these subscription fees will generate more
than $500 per month.

 Ok, now that I have your attention, please read the following message from
 Bruce Bergman,
 owner of fatcity.com.  It concerns the future of this list.
 
 Please read the entire message before replying.
 
 Thank you.
 
 Jared Still  ( List Owner )

 Hello ORACLE-L list members --
 
 I would like to take a few minutes of your time for a "State of the Union"
 address, if you can call it that.  This is a rather serious message, and I
 request that you take the time to read this message entirely.  I've got a
 problem that needs resolution this week, and I'm hoping you folks can help
 me come to a conclusion.  This message turned out to be fairly
 long-winded, so please excuse me for that. :-)
 
 Fat City (fatcity.com) is my company, and I am the provider of the list
 services that you receive ORACLE-L through.  I've been hosting Internet
 mailing lists for over 10 years, and carry quite a few lists, including a
 big selection of Oracle-related lists (14, in fact).  Fat City has always
 been a labor of love for me.  Over the years it has rarely generated any
 income at all, and it usually does not cover my expenses -- most of the
 time
 it is a monthly loss for me.  The vast majority of my 60+ mailing lists
 have
 been hosted for free, at my expense (as is the ORACLE-L list, for
 example).
 Yet I have absorbed these costs because I enjoy hosting discussion lists
 and I know a lot of lists can't afford to pay for quality service.
 
 I am soon to be one of the Rhythms Orphans.  Rhythms, my DSL provider, has
 gone bankrupt and will be out of business by 10-Sep-2001.  I need to find
 another provider of high-speed Internet in order to continue operations.
 I
 am at the point of either folding shop completely and going out of
 business
 myself, or trying to make Fat City a viable, money-making endeavor.  I
 need
 to make this decision by this Friday (for financial and planning reasons).
 After Friday, I am committed one way or the other.
 
 My upstream ISP and I are on very good terms, and in fact, I've been a
 customer of theirs since 1985!  As a result, they have graciously offered
 to help me out of this situation at considerable expense to themselves.
 I'm not at liberty to discuss the terms of the contract I would engage in
 with them, but suffice to say that is one of those once-in-a-lifetime
 opportunities that I'd be a fool to pass up.  I have this offer personally
 from the President of that company, if I want it.  Simply said, my ability
 to take them up on their offer and switch Fat City over to a dedicated T1
 or
 better solution revolves around being able to generate quite a bit of
 additional
 income per month, and very soon.  In an effort to be open and up-front
 with
 you folks about this, I basically need to generate an additional $500 more
 per
 month. Right now that seems daunting, but I've been working hard to line
 up
 that
 additional income, and I believe I can do it.  Just not right away.  My
 estimates are that it will take me four or five months to come up to that
 level.  I need to get out there and sell website hosting and list hosting
 packages, and get new customers.  That takes time, unfortunately.  I need
 a
 buffer to enable me to get past this startup phase.
 
 After some discussions with Jared (the list owner), and some encouragement
 from him, I am coming to you to ask for you help in keeping Fat City
 financially afloat until I can be self sufficient.  I'm not asking for a
 specific dollar amount from anyone, nor am I *expecting* anything from you
 folks.  But if it is within your power to contribute some money towards
 this
 end (and yes, I know these are hard financial times for everyone), I am
 hoping you can help.  If I can get sufficient promise of funds that will
 see
 me through the next few months, I am willing to jump in with both feet and
 make Fat City a viable business.  If it looks like the contributions are
 not
 sufficient to enable me to do that, I will cease operations within the
 next
 45-60 days.
 
 Let me be clear about a few things: If I *do* cease operations, I will
 give
 all of my lists time to find new list providers, and will make every
 effort
 to aid the shift over to the new provider, provide list dumps, archives,
 mail forwarding, etc.  Even though Rhythms goes out of business on
 10-Sep-2001, I have secured service until at least 10-Oct-2001 to enable
 this to happen.  So don't worry about having to rush into your conversion
 if
 things don't work out.  I would also like to clearly state that this is
 not
 some attempt to blackmail or coerce anyone into coming up with money.

RE: DB Monitoring

2001-08-30 Thread Koivu, Lisa
Title: RE: DB Monitoring 





HI Vivek, off the top of my head:


Number of extents - any reaching huge numbers? 
Tablespaces running out of room? Drives on the host filling up? 
Any jobs that have been running over 24 hours? 
Possible zombie processes?
Top 10 most resource-intensive queries. Can they be tuned? 
utlbstat/utlestat - anything stand out? 
And most importantly, is the DATABASE UP? Page immediately if it isn't. 


I'm sure there's much more. This is just a start. And again I advocate home-cooked scripts in comparison to any gui tool doing this for you.

I think that much better than voluntary contributions will be some

am sure that
everybody working with Oracle and living in US or UK or other developed
country can afford such fees. We will not need to charge people from
developing countries - I am sure these subscription fees will generate more
than $500 per month.

Re: is this a resource problem?

2001-08-30 Thread nlzanen1


Hi,

It would have been helpful to include the whole select statement.

Anyway.: If your where clause is pretty straightforward (where word
='UNIVERSITY' for instance) it may help to index the columns in the where
clause.
Proper indexing and it should run normal. If you have functions in your
where clause (to_char for instance) than prior to 8i you where left in the
cold so to speak. In 8i you can than use function based indexes.

hi guys,
first sorry my English and second sorry if this is a stupid question (or
it's
the wrong place to ask it)

I'm new to Oracle (few mounts) and I developed a search engine for my
Univeristy. One of the table of the database contains pairs of (word,
id_url).
This pair is also the primary key.
So, after I insert around 300.000 words in the table the server get realy
slowly
(aroud 30 seconds for something like this select * from  words where
...).
I'll expect to have more than 1.200.000 pairs (word, id_url) in my table.
The machine is what my University afford, a PIII 700 Mhz machine, 256 Mb
RAM,
running windows nt 4 server.

Can I do someting to speed up the procces (I dont know what - reindexing,
etc)
or I really need a monster sun entreprise edition with 8 processor :(

Thanks,
Darius

We are proposing a project to convert applications that use flat files to
Oracle databases. An essential piece of this proposal is to present to the
management the advantages of databases over flat files. Are there any
websites, whitepapers that talk about this? I know this probably is a
no-brainer for most of you but we just want to have all of our ducks in a

Been there, done that.  An installation manual comes from Oracle with the
software.  Follow it exactly.  Do not use an installation manual for a
different platform or a different version of Oracle.  Every one of them is
slightly different and just enough different to mess up your installation.

Read the installation manual cover to cover before you begin.

Duplicate your database using RMAN.  Then export/import the table that was dropped.  
Of course, this means that you need to have an extra 150 Gb of disk space lying around.

Last week one of my user dropped a table since we don't have any backup
except for rman backup. It is not allowe me to do any recovery on 7/24
database.  Anyway we recreate the table(we are lucky, this table hold
parameters)

This make me think of situation of lossing very important big table. We have
about 1000 tables with bigget one of  8GB .

Is there any idea how to perform a logical backup on a database with 150GBs.
Or take a TSPITR in case of those kind of thing  happen again.  From my
case, imp/exp looks impossibe from point of view of timing and spacing. The
question will be the same for TSOITR on large database. Is there any other

flat files data bases are mostly used for molecular biology data storage, 
I do not know of any molecular biology data bank that runs undeer a real 
data engine, but it has many reasons why, and of course u can import 
these flat files and get them in to a real database engine, and OFCOURSE 
it would be MUCH by far more easy to administrate and develop but there 
is one point... there are more than I would say 50 different molecular 
biology databases and justone of them may be ofer 75 gigas I do not 
knwo (and please read DO NOT KNOW) much more in deep about data engines 
but can a data engine like oracle handle 50 different databases that 
together may be about... many many gigas.. more than 600 gigs and that 
grow very fast every day? I ask because I do not know. cheers

 Hi all,
 We are proposing a project to convert applications that use flat files to
 Oracle databases. An essential piece of this proposal is to present to the
 management the advantages of databases over flat files. Are there any
 websites, whitepapers that talk about this? I know this probably is a
 no-brainer for most of you but we just want to have all of our ducks in a

RE: Install oracle 7.3.4 in Solaris.

2001-08-30 Thread Van M. Etheridge

Go to Oracle Technology Network. You'll find it under the documentation
section (http://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle7/doc_index.htm) they
have the following: 

Oracle7 Server for Sun SPARC Solaris 2.x, Release 7.3.4 
Administrator's Reference for UNIX 
Installation Guide

I have used this documentaion before and it's good information. It should
get you through the install. BTW membership to OTN is free.

Good luck!

Yes, Oracle can handle that perfectly fine.

But there is no question file system has higher throughput due to the many
things Oracle has to do to enforce Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation,
Durability.

 Hello ORACLE-L list members --
 
 I would like to take a few minutes of your time for a State of the Union
 address, if you can call it that.  This is a rather serious message, and I
 request that you take the time to read this message entirely.  I've got a
 problem that needs resolution this week, and I'm hoping you folks can help
 me come to a conclusion.  This message turned out to be fairly
 long-winded, so please excuse me for that. :-)
 
 Fat City (fatcity.com) is my company, and I am the provider of the list
 services that you receive ORACLE-L through.  I've been hosting Internet
 mailing lists for over 10 years, and carry quite a few lists, including a
 big selection of Oracle-related lists (14, in fact).  Fat City has always
 been a labor of love for me.  Over the years it has rarely generated any
 income at all, and it usually does not cover my expenses -- most of the
 time
 it is a monthly loss for me.  The vast majority of my 60+ mailing lists
 have
 been hosted for free, at my expense (as is the ORACLE-L list, for example).
 Yet I have absorbed these costs because I enjoy hosting discussion lists
 and I know a lot of lists can't afford to pay for quality service.
 
 I am soon to be one of the Rhythms Orphans.  Rhythms, my DSL provider, has
 gone bankrupt and will be out of business by 10-Sep-2001.  I need to find
 another provider of high-speed Internet in order to continue operations.  I
 am at the point of either folding shop completely and going out of business
 myself, or trying to make Fat City a viable, money-making endeavor.  I need
 to make this decision by this Friday (for financial and planning reasons).
 After Friday, I am committed one way or the other.
 
 My upstream ISP and I are on very good terms, and in fact, I've been a
 customer of theirs since 1985!  As a result, they have graciously offered
 to help me out of this situation at considerable expense to themselves.
 I'm not at liberty to discuss the terms of the contract I would engage in
 with them, but suffice to say that is one of those once-in-a-lifetime
 opportunities that I'd be a fool to pass up.  I have this offer personally
 from the President of that company, if I want it.  Simply said, my ability
 to take them up on their offer and switch Fat City over to a dedicated T1
 or
 better solution revolves around being able to generate quite a bit of
 additional
 income per month, and very soon.  In an effort to be open and up-front with
 you folks about this, I basically need to generate an additional $500 more
 per
 month. Right now that seems daunting, but I've been working hard to line up
 that
 additional income, and I believe I can do it.  Just not right away.  My
 estimates are that it will take me four or five months to come up to that
 level.  I need to get out there and sell website hosting and list hosting
 packages, and get new customers.  That takes time, unfortunately.  I need a
 buffer to enable me to get past this startup phase.
 
 After some discussions with Jared (the list owner), and some encouragement
 from him, I am coming to you to ask for you help in keeping Fat City
 financially afloat until I can be self sufficient.  I'm not asking for a
 specific dollar amount from anyone, nor am I *expecting* anything from you
 folks.  But if it is within your power to contribute some money towards
 this
 end (and yes, I know these are hard financial times for everyone), I am
 hoping you can help.  If I can get sufficient promise of funds that will
 see
 me through the next few months, I am willing to jump in with both feet and
 make Fat City a viable business.  If it looks like the contributions are
 not
 sufficient to enable me to do that, I will cease operations within the next
 45-60 days.
 
 Let me be clear about a few things: If I *do* cease operations, I will give
 all of my lists time to find new list providers, and will make every effort
 to aid the shift over to the new provider, provide list dumps, archives,
 mail forwarding, 

ora - 4031 while inserting into a parent table

2001-08-30 Thread Ranganath K

Dear DBA Gurus,

I am getting the following error while inserting into a schema's parent
table which is being referred by 42 tables of another schema.

ORA-04031: unable to allocate 2196 bytes of shared memory (shared
pool,RA_VOLUME_PLAN_POOL,KQLS heap,KQLS MEM BLOCK);

How do I resolve this?  I increased the shared_pool_size from 15mb to 30mb
and shared_pool_reserved_size from 1mb to 5mb but it didn't solve the
problem.  I also set the _db_cached_cursors parameter to 0 and bounced the
database but in vain.  BTW I am using oracle 8.1.6 enterprise edition on Sun
Solaris 2.7.  Any help in this regard will be very much appreciated.

TIA and Regards,

Ranganath

I have subscribed to the Auerbach Oracle Internals news letter in the past

I would offer that this list is 100 times more valuable to a DBA (even

That said, I would willingly pay any reasonable monthly/yearly fee to

 I think that much better than voluntary contributions will be some
 s*u*b*s*c*r*i*p*t*i*o*n fees - like $1 per month or better $12 per year. I
 am sure that
 everybody working with Oracle and living in US or UK or other developed
 country can afford such fees. We will not need to charge people from
 developing countries - I am sure these subscription fees will generate
more
 than $500 per month.

8:30AM 
- Meet at my house and depart for TWA Dome.
9:00AM 
- 11:50AM - Beer, brats, cigars, music in front of the Dome.
Noon - 
3:15PM - Watch "The Greatest Show on Earth" beat up on

3:16PM 
- Head home for the rest of the 3:00PM games on DirecTV Sunday 
Ticket.
 
Note: I have the ability to watch 
all three games at once using a well-developed channel-flipping

6:00PM

Just thought I would mention this interesting little feature.  Now I don't
know if I am an idiot or if something went wrong (probably both), but
apparently NT services will not start the instance.  I had to manually start
it to get it to go?  I guess in a way that's good, move little nt people

   Hello ORACLE-L list members --
  
   I would like to take a few minutes of your time for a
  State of the Union
   address, if you can call it that.  This is a rather serious
  message, and I
   request that you take the time to read this message
  entirely.  I've got a
   problem that needs resolution this week, and I'm hoping you
  folks can help
   me come to a conclusion.  This message turned out to be fairly
   long-winded, so please excuse me for that. :-)
  
   Fat City (fatcity.com) is my company, and I am the provider
  of the list
   services that you receive ORACLE-L through.  I've been
  hosting Internet
   mailing lists for over 10 years, and carry quite a few
  lists, including a
   big selection of Oracle-related lists (14, in fact).  Fat
  City has always
   been a labor of love for me.  Over the years it has rarely
  generated any
   income at all, and it usually does not cover my expenses --
  most of the
   time
   it is a monthly loss for me.  The vast majority of my 60+
  mailing lists
   have
   been hosted for free, at my expense (as is the ORACLE-L
  list, for example).
   Yet I have absorbed these costs because I enjoy hosting
  discussion lists
   and I know a lot of lists can't afford to pay for quality service.
  
   I am soon to be one of the Rhythms Orphans.  Rhythms, my
  DSL provider, has
   gone bankrupt and will be out of business by 10-Sep-2001.
  I need to find
   another provider of high-speed Internet in order to
  continue operations.  I
   am at the point of either folding shop completely and going
  out of business
   myself, or trying to make Fat City a viable, money-making
  endeavor.  I need
   to make this decision by this Friday (for financial and
  planning reasons).
   After Friday, I am committed one way or the other.
  
   My upstream ISP and I are on very good terms, and in fact,
  I've been a
   customer of theirs since 1985!  As a result, they have
  graciously offered
   to help me out of this situation at considerable expense to
  themselves.
   I'm not at liberty to discuss the terms of the contract I
  would engage in
   with them, but suffice to say that is one of those
  once-in-a-lifetime
   opportunities that I'd be a fool to pass up.  I have this
  offer personally
   from the President of that company, if I want it.  Simply
  said, my ability
   to take them up on their offer and switch Fat City over to
  a dedicated T1
   or
   better solution revolves around being able to generate
  quite a bit of
   additional
   income per month, and very soon.  In an effort to be open
  and up-front with
   you folks about this, I basically need to generate an
  additional $500 more
   per
   month. Right now that seems daunting, but I've been working
  hard to line up
   that
   additional income, and I believe I can do it.  Just not
  right away.  My
   estimates are that it will take me four or five months to
  come up to that
   level.  I need to get out there and sell website hosting
  and list hosting
   packages, and get new customers.  That takes time,
  unfortunately.  I need a
   buffer to enable me to get past this startup phase.

Dear DBA Gurus,

I am getting the following error while inserting into a schema's parent

ORA-04031: unable to allocate 2196 bytes of shared memory (shared

How do I resolve this?  I increased the shared_pool_size from 15mb to 30mb
and shared_pool_reserved_size from 1mb to 5mb but it didn't solve the
problem.  I also set the _db_cached_cursors parameter to 0 and bounced the
database but in vain.  BTW I am using oracle 8.1.6 enterprise edition on Sun
Solaris 2.7.  Any help in this regard will be very much appreciated.

TIA and Regards,

Re: OT : kernel using 75% of CPU - Summary and last post

2001-08-30 Thread Jerry C



Hi all,

Think we've figured this out, with much 
help from you guys.

I believe the high percentage of kernel CPU 
was due to the system swapping. I believe the root cause of the swapping was a 
combination of:

a) an SGA that was too large
b) a sort_area_size that was set too 
large (30Mb.)
c) an app that does a *lot* of 
sorting

I believe each connection from the app 
server (there were about 50-55 connections) would eventually grab 30Mb. of sort 
space in it's PGA. According to Oracle, this memory never gets released to the 
OS. So, that's 1.5-1.6Gb. of memory that apparently send us over the edge. Since 
these are persistent connections from an app server, they neverdisconnect. 
We greatly reduced the size of the java pool and brought sort_area_size down, 
which - I think - fixed the problem.

Better to have a few disk sorts than have 
your box start swapping!


Thanks again!


- Jerry

   Ok, now that I have your attention, please read
  the following message from
   Bruce Bergman,
   owner of fatcity.com.  It concerns the future of
  this list.
  
   Please read the entire message before replying.
  
   Thank you.
  
   Jared Still  ( List Owner )
  
  
   ---
  
   Hello ORACLE-L list members --
  
   I would like to take a few minutes of your time
  for a State of the Union
   address, if you can call it that.  This is a
  rather serious message, and I
   request that you take the time to read this
  message entirely.  I've got a
   problem that needs resolution this week, and I'm
  hoping you folks can help
   me come to a conclusion.  This message turned out
  to be fairly
   long-winded, so please excuse me for that. :-)
  
   Fat City (fatcity.com) is my company, and I am the
  provider of the list
   services that you receive ORACLE-L through.  I've
  been hosting Internet
   mailing lists for over 10 years, and carry quite a
  few lists, including a
   big selection of Oracle-related lists (14, in
  fact).  Fat City has always
   been a labor of love for me.  Over the years it
  has rarely generated any
   income at all, and it usually does not cover my
  expenses -- most of the
   time
   it is a monthly loss for me.  The vast majority of
  my 60+ mailing lists
   have
   been hosted for free, at my expense (as is the
  ORACLE-L list, for example).
   Yet I have absorbed these costs because I enjoy
  hosting discussion lists
   and I know a lot of lists can't afford to pay for
  quality service.
  
   I am soon to be one of the Rhythms Orphans.
  Rhythms, my DSL provider, has
   gone bankrupt and will be out of business by
  10-Sep-2001.  I need to find
   another provider of high-speed Internet in order
  to continue operations.  I
   am at the point of either folding shop completely
  and going out of business
   myself, or trying to make Fat City a viable,
  money-making endeavor.  I need
   to make this decision by this Friday (for
  financial and planning reasons).
   After Friday, I am committed one way or the other.
  
   My upstream ISP and I are on very good terms, and
  in fact, I've been a
   customer of theirs since 1985!  As a result, they
  have graciously offered
   to help me out of this situation at considerable
  expense to themselves.
   I'm not at liberty to discuss the terms of the
  contract I would engage in
   with them, but suffice to say that is one of those
  once-in-a-lifetime
   opportunities that I'd be a fool to pass up.  I
  have this offer personally
   from the President of that company, if I want it.
  Simply said, my ability
   to take them up on their offer and switch Fat City
  over to a dedicated T1
   or
   better solution revolves around being able to
  generate quite a bit of
   additional
   income per month, and very soon.  In an effort to
  be open and up-front with
   you folks about this, I basically need to generate
  an additional $500

Interesting post, but it highly depends on the duh-velupur as well as the db
eh.

Some developers are very aware of SQL Tuning, some are not.
Some DBA's are great coders, some are not.

But neither are as good as a good developer and a good dba working together.

Hi, Jerry,

Next time you see top output like shown below, please provide this information:
In SQL*Plus:
select * from v$session_wait where sid = (select sid from v$session where paddr
= (select addr from v$process where spid = 2286));

may need to run it a few times. Post it to the list (or email me) unless the
wait is like 'SQL*Net%' or '%timer%' or 'rdbms%'.

And also find the SQL by select * from v$sql where address = (select
sql_address from v$session) once you know the SID

and

On OS:
truss -flp 2286
(the first 100 lines or so should be OK; if there's a pause in running truss,
indicate where the pause happens)

Also let us know if there's anything special in alert.log and any new file in

RE: OT: football fan-hood

we'll not get into the argument that what you play is not football... :o)

Lisa,
 
I, for one, hold you in the highest esteem and wish you would talk some
sense into my wife.  My typical Sunday during Rams home games goes something
like this:
 
6AM - Coffee, breakfast, read the Sports section for today's matchup.
8:30AM - Meet at my house and depart for TWA Dome.
9:00AM - 11:50AM - Beer, brats, cigars, music in front of the Dome.
Noon - 3:15PM - Watch The Greatest Show on Earth beat up on defenses.
3:16PM - Head home for the rest of the 3:00PM games on DirecTV Sunday
Ticket.
Note:  I have the ability to watch all three games at once using a
well-developed channel-flipping technique.
6:00PM - Dinner, sober up - get ready for Sunday Night game on ESPN.
7:00PM - 10:00PM - Watch whoever's playing, more beer.
10:01PM - Pass out.
 
My wife just doesn't get it...
 
Jim

BLECH!  My second favorite team is Tampa (they are half ex-vikings)  I dare
say they will be better than the Vikings this year.

Charge that $5 to my account.  Sorry.  

The short story is: 
Grew up in MN... my whole family watched the Vikings... my grandfather was
one of the announcers... I was going to Purple Crush games at 6 years old
with my mother in the Met Stadium.  I was (still am) a tomboy and there was
no girls football or hockey back then.  There.  I said it.

I thought that she was s overwhelmed by the choices available
that she decided to be an outsider and pick a team from snow-bird country
so she would be accepted in Ft.Laud.

After all she does have 3 Florida football teams to choose from.
Very confusing and it can upset your pears, neighbors, and friends of you
choose the wrong one.

 You can tell that she is not solid in her choice and committed by
the unique, colorful, and subliminal signature? She is screaming for
guidance and understanding. I offer to her that she support the BRONCO'S and
I will have my daughter-in-law ( devout BRONCO fan) get with her and
tailgate party to relieve the stress.

RE: !! Keeping the list alive

I have to say I resent being called a duhveloper, granted the majority
couldn't tune a banjo let alone tune a piece of SQL, but as a techie (and we
all are), I find this list invaluable for getting advice on a wide range of
topics, not just keeping a DB up and running or tuned...I don't call you
guys names, and let's face it you DB-ehs? couldn't write a decent
application if your lives depended on it...

query rewrite question

2001-08-30 Thread JOE TESTA



I've gone thru the FM for about 4 hours now, to no avail.

I thought oracle uppercased tables and columns that were not enclosed in 
double quotes("), but for query rewrite to pick up on a materialized view, the 
SQL has to be EXACT(oracle supposedly strips whitespace), but if i spell the 
table Ft_SALES and the materialized view sql says FT_SALES, no rewrite is 
done.

Is this the way its supposed to work, i'd thought oracle would have been 
smart enough to do the upper on anythin not in " and then do the compare,

guess i'm asking for too much.

I'm done venting.

Hello Folks, 

I am looking for some cool script to move all the database objects 
across from Oracle 8.1.7 to Latest Sql Server (ver ???)

Is there any particular way we can do it to automate this ?? 

BTW: I want to pledge $20 or even willing to pay yearly subscription and it 
would be a good 
idea to Send out a Pledge form to everyone . to keep the greens 
coming..

Cheers

Recruiters Should Pay Attention

2001-08-30 Thread Mohan, Ross

Oweson, 

One of the most damn sensible things
I have heard in a while. 

I agree -- recruiters and others who
make $$ from this list should lead
by example in donating to FATCITY.

Surely those of us in the UK can pay electronically (say via Credit Card)??.

I think that much better than voluntary contributions will be some
s*u*b*s*c*r*i*p*t*i*o*n fees - like $1 per month or better $12 per year. I
am sure that
everybody working with Oracle and living in US or UK or other developed
country can afford such fees. We will not need to charge people from
developing countries - I am sure these subscription fees will generate more
than $500 per month.

2 possible reasons
1-Your hint is not working. Type as

Hi,

We are doing testing of oracle 8i parallelism features
on unix HP 11 .
We have done 2 partitions on the table ib020mb_3
on a field adt_date with the following details
(partition p1 values less than('22-apr-2000')
tablespace CONTRACT,
  partition p2 values less
than('01-jUn-2000')tablespace CONTRACT1).

Each of these partitions are in different tablespace.
Each of this tablespace are on different disks(data
files on different
disk ) in unix environment. We have 4 processors and 4
controllers
(like disk drives) to write on disk.

With this details we are running the following query
with and without
degree of parallelism specified.

select  adt_date from ib020mb_3
where adt_date '01-jun-2000'

But we are taking more time with parallelism. We have
tried the query with
different degrees of parallelism. Currently we are
fetching approx. 15 lac records.
We have tested with a different table and different
set of records but still we
are taking more time with degree of parallelism
specified.

Could you please suggest why we are taking more time .

The following are the tkprof generated for this
queries:

==
1) Without parallelism:

select  adt_date from ib020mb_3
where adt_date '01-jun-2000'

8.1.7 on W2K

2001-08-30 Thread Uma Mohoni

Guys,
I have an just finished upgrading to 8.1.7 on all my boxes some of which are
Windows2000. I have had no problems with Sun Solaris, HP and Windows NT4.0.
But on Windows2000, every time the box is rebooted the instance does not
come up automatically. However the service shows as running. I checked the
registry to make sure I had ORACLE_SID set right.  

I have to manually start the instance every time and its a pain in the 'you
know what'.  If anyone has had this problem and solved it please let me know
the solution. 

Thanks,

  Alex, that is an excellent idea! I second that notion. 
  
  "doh.state.fl.us"? Does that University count Homere Simpson 
  amongst its proud alumni? 
  Please excuse the long e-mail, but since the suggestion has 
  been made to make this a "subscription" list, I will share some of the issues 
  that I am grappling with (along with others) as part of a volunteer moderator 
  at an internet message board, where we are currently debating a fee-based 
  message board instead of free membership.
  My personal opinion (though of course this would be Mr. Still 
  and Mr. Bergman's decision) is that having a "subscription" list would be very 
  hard to manage. If someone who has provided valuable responses (e.g. a Steve 
  Adams) doesn't pay his fee, do you immediately unsubscribe him from the list? 
  Do you prevent him from posting an answer? What's the grace period for 
  non-payment of fees? Would there be a trial period, or would you have to pay 
  before you can even see what the list is like? Paying before you can see the 
  content would diminish new membership, and new membership is essential to the 
  survival of a list such as this one. If you have a free introductory period, I 
  could sign up with a different "free" e-mail (e.g. hotmail) every month and 
  never pay. Only the "honest" people would pay, which would end up being the 
  same as asking for voluntary donations.
  Another issue - how many people would go try out another 
  "free" list? Charging a fee may mean the demise of this list. I think that the 
  list is worth a modest fee, but what percentage of the membership will think 
  so?
  What if a person has paid for membership, but is posting 
  messages disruptive to the list (e.g. spam or insults.) Do you refund their 
  fee when you remove them from the list? Do they have more rights as a "paying 
  customer"?
  How about the archives? Would you have to pay to see them? 
  What about people that always ask questions, but never answer any? Would they 
  be charged more? Would some of our "experts" become resentful since they are 
  paying Mr. Bergman and giving out more information than they are receiving? I 
  can very well imagine a person thinking "why should I give out free answers 
  when Mr. Bergman 'profits' from my expertise?" (Of course I realize that there 
  is very little, if any, 'profit' involved, but some people may not be 
  convinced of that.)
  These are all difficult questions that would be faced by the 
  person maintaining the list. Without charging enough to make the list 
  profitable, it might not be worth the 
headache.

TESTIMONIALS FROM CANDIDATES ABOUT USING CAREER SCOUT


I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to meet with me 
regarding the 3cSoftware position. Even though I did not emerged as a 
match for the position, I value the time you spent with me counseling 
me about my career pursuit.  Bright Boateng



Thanks, I really appreciate your feedback.
Darren




Even though this one didn't work out at least you followed up 
and kept me informed. This is what I (and I'm sure many other job 
hunters) am missing in other recruiters and agencies. I really appreciate 
this. It beats the heck out of just being left hanging like most firms
do.

Thanks for the reply. Most recruiters get your resume, make a lot of 
promises and that's the last you hear from them. Your consideration is 
greatly appreciated. Craig Watson

RE: char vs. varchar2

2001-08-30 Thread Miller, Jay

Actually char has some minor performance advantages over varchar2 when the
column is frequently updated to a larger size since the full space is
already claimed within the block.

Isn't CHAR a declining feature, which is why Oracle is forcing the

A PL/SQL datatypes conversion question

2001-08-30 Thread Andrey Bronfin

Dear list !

There is a column of datatype RAW in a table.
it contains 4 numbers (4 bytes each) and a string of 54 bytes , that are
concatenated and then converted to RAW by an external C++ application.
I need to convert it back in a PL/SQL trigger.
I.e. i need retrieve that RAW column , and divide it according to the offset
to the 4 numbers and the string.
The problem is that i haven't found any cast_to_number or hextonumber
conversion functions .
UTL_RAW only has got CAST_TO_VARCHAR2 function , and there is also the
standard RAWTOHEX conversion function.
How can i sort it out , please ?

Thanks a lot in advance ,

WebDB 2.2 on linux RH 7.0 w/Oracle 8.1.7

2001-08-30 Thread Ron Rogers

List,
Has anyone deployed WebDB 2.2 on Linux RedHat 7.0 yet. The install manual states that 
it is for RH6.0 with Oracle 8.1.5, 8.1.6. I understand the process of loading 8.1.7 on 
7.0 and have the glib's for 2.1 available . Do I follow the glib linking process for 
installing 8.1.7 on RH7.0 and then install WebDB2.2. 
  The reason I am asking is I do NOT have the ability to backup the server (test 
server) and do not want to realy foul things up if the install will cause problems. I 
would like to learn about WebDB or portal and this is the combination I have available 
to me.
Any hints, sites, horror stories?

Lisa,

I, for one, hold you in the highest esteem and wish you would talk some
sense into my wife.  My typical Sunday during Rams home games goes 
something
like this:

6AM - Coffee, breakfast, read the Sports section for today's matchup.
8:30AM - Meet at my house and depart for TWA Dome.
9:00AM - 11:50AM - Beer, brats, cigars, music in front of the Dome.
Noon - 3:15PM - Watch The Greatest Show on Earth beat up on defenses.
3:16PM - Head home for the rest of the 3:00PM games on DirecTV Sunday
Ticket.
 Note:  I have the ability to watch all three games at once using a
well-developed channel-flipping technique.
6:00PM - Dinner, sober up - get ready for Sunday Night game on ESPN.
7:00PM - 10:00PM - Watch whoever's playing, more beer.
10:01PM - Pass out.

My wife just doesn't get it...

Jim

BLECH!  My second favorite team is Tampa (they are half ex-vikings)  I dare
say they will be better than the Vikings this year.

Charge that $5 to my account.  Sorry.

The short story is:
Grew up in MN... my whole family watched the Vikings... my grandfather was
one of the announcers... I was going to Purple Crush games at 6 years old
with my mother in the Met Stadium.  I was (still am) a tomboy and there was
no girls football or hockey back then.  There.  I said it.

  Alex, that is an excellent idea! I second 
  that notion. 
  "doh.state.fl.us"? Does that University count 
  Homere Simpson amongst its proud alumni? 
  
  Please excuse the long e-mail, but since the 
  suggestion has been made to make this a "subscription" list, I will share 
  some of the issues that I am grappling with (along with others) as part of 
  a volunteer moderator at an internet message board, where we are currently 
  debating a fee-based message board instead of free membership.
  My personal opinion (though of course this 
  would be Mr. Still and Mr. Bergman's decision) is that having a 
  "subscription" list would be very hard to manage. If someone who has 
  provided valuable responses (e.g. a Steve Adams) doesn't pay his fee, do 
  you immediately unsubscribe him from the list? Do you prevent him from 
  posting an answer? What's the grace period for non-payment of fees? Would 
  there be a trial period, or would you have to pay before you can even see 
  what the list is like? Paying before you can see the content would 
  diminish new membership, and new membership is essential to the survival 
  of a list such as this one. If you have a free introductory period, I 
  could sign up with a different "free" e-mail (e.g. hotmail) every month 
  and never pay. Only the "honest" people would pay, which would end up 
  being the same as asking for voluntary donations.
  Another issue - how many people would go try 
  out another "free" list? Charging a fee may mean the demise of this list. 
  I think that the list is worth a modest fee, but what percentage of the 
  membership will think so?
  What if a person has paid for membership, but 
  is posting messages disruptive to the list (e.g. spam or insults.) Do you 
  refund their fee when you remove them from the list? Do they have more 
  rights as a "paying customer"?
  How about the archives? Would you have to pay 
  to see them? What about people that always ask questions, but never answer 
  any? Would they be charged more? Would some of our "experts" become 
  resentful since they are paying Mr. Bergman and giving out more 
  information than they are receiving? I can very well imagine a person 
  thinking "why should I give out free answers when Mr. Bergman 'profits' 
  from my expertise?" (Of course I realize that there is very little, if 
  any, 'profit' involved, but some people may not be convinced of 
  that.)
  These are all difficult questions that would be 
  faced by the person maintaining the list. Without charging enough to make 
  the list profitable, it might not be worth the 
headache.

O8i install solution to ORA-3113 problems on RH 7

2001-08-30 Thread James Damiano

I thought I'd pass on the solution to a problem we just experienced trying
to install Oracle 8.1.7 on to a box running Linux Kernel 2.2.16 (Red Hat
7.0):

The install of Oracle8i (8.1.7) Standard Edition on this Intel box went very
well except when it attempted to create the sample database. Since then, I
have tried to create a small database with SID=orcl myself. Here is what
happened:
I successfully startup SVRMGR and connect internal. However,
when I issue the startup nomount pfile=/orcl/pfile/initorcl_0.ora, I
get the error message ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel.
After doing this, I will get this same ORA-03113 every time I try to start
SVRMGR. If I reboot the machine, I can alleviate getting the error
message, that is until I try to startup nomount... in which case the same
cycle repeats. By the way, I can successfully connect to databases running
on remote servers.

The Final solution to this problem was the following:

RDBMS 817 rquires glibc 2.1.3 to install correctly. That means RedHat 7 will
not work with glibc-2.2-12. This problem does not exist with RedHat 7.1 and
all Suse certified versions.

The problem is that Oracle 8.1.x needs glibc 2.1.3. It will link without
error with glibc 2.2, but when you try to run dbassist or create a database
from scratch, there are problems (dbassist hangs, End of file on
communication channel, etc.)

To get Oracle 8.1.6 or 8.1.7 working on systems with glibc 2.2.

1. Install the compat-glibc RPM for 2.1.3.x

2. cd to the directory where compat-glibc installed the files

3. Copy the following files to $ORACLE_HOME/lib:
libc-2.1.3.so
libpthread.so
libdl.so
ld-linux.so.2
Sometimes, these are symbolic links, so you'll need to copy the target of
the symbolic link and rename it to the link name when you copy it to
$ORACLE_HOME/lib.

For example, if ls -l shows:
ld-linux.so.2 - ld-2.1.3.so
libc-2.1.3.so
libdl.so - libdl.so.2
libpthread.so - libpthread.so.0
Then:
cp ld-2.1.3.so $ORACLE_HOME/lib/ld-linux.so.2
cp libc-2.1.3.so $ORACLE_HOME/lib
cp libdl.so.2 $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libdl.so
cp libpthread.so.0 $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libpthread.so

4. Create a file in $ORACLE_HOME/lib called libc.so with the following
contents (as a single line):

GROUP ( OH/lib/libc-2.1.3.so OH/lib/ld-linux.so.2
CL/libc_nonshared.a )

Substitute the value of $ORACLE_HOME for OH and the location of the
compat-glibc directory for CL.

For example, my $ORACLE_HOME is:
/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7
and my compat-glibc directory is:
/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib

so the GROUP line looks like this for me:
GROUP (/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib/libc-2.1.3.so
/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib/ld-linux.so.2
/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/libc_nonshared.a)
(This is all one line.)

5. cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin

6. Run the following command from the UNIX prompt:
relink all

All of the Oracle software, including the assitants, will work fine after
this and will work with RedHat 7.0 and kernel 2.2.16 kernel, as well as the
2.4.0 and 2.4.1-pre11 kernels.

Re: ora - 4031 while inserting into a parent table

2001-08-30 Thread DBarbour


Raganath,

Sounds like you got some bad SQL operating.  Usually the error you are
seeing is caused not by the shared pool being too small (although if it's
too small for you're trying to do, nothing will help), but rather by
excessive fragmentation making the requisite amount of continuous free
space unavailable.

Your remark that this is an insert involving 42 tables from another DB sort
of reinforces my suspicions.  One of the things I found out (from this list
last year) was that you need to commit across DB links after DML to free
memory.  Make sure you're using bind variables.  Make sure you're sharing
SQL.  Try using fully qualified table names.

You could try flushing the shared pool to see if this resolves your
problem, but you run the risk of losing sequences unless you've specified
they should not be flushed using dbms_shared_pool.keep.

The kqls heap message might also indicate library cache problems.  Oracle
suggests using the following to determine which parameters you need to
address in tuning:

First determine if the ORA-04031 was a result of fragmentation in the
library
cache or in the shared pool reserved space by issuing the following query:
  SELECT free_space, avg_free_size, used_space,
  avg_used_size, request_failures, last_failure_size
  FROM    v$shared_pool_reserved;


 The ORA-04031 is a result of lack of contiguous space in the shared
 pool
 reserved space if:


 REQUEST_FAILURES is  0 and LAST_FAILURE_SIZE is 
 SHARED_POOL_RESERVED_MIN_ALLOC.


 To resolve this  consider increasing SHARED_POOL_RESERVED_MIN_ALLOC to
 lower
 the number of objects being cached into the shared pool reserved space
 and
 increase SHARED_POOL_RESERVED_SIZE and SHARED_POOL_SIZE to increase
 the
 available memory in the shared pool reserved space.


 The ORA-04031 is a result of lack of contiguous space in the library
 cache if:


 REQUEST_FAILURES is  0 and LAST_FAILURE_SIZE is 
 SHARED_POOL_RESERVED_MIN_ALLOC


 or


 REQUEST_FAILURES is 0 and LAST_FAILURE_SIZE is 
 SHARED_POOL_RESERVED_MIN_ALLOC


 The first step would be to consider lowering
 SHARED_POOL_RESERVED_MIN_ALLOC to
 put more objects into the shared pool reserved space and increase
 SHARED_POOL_SIZE.


 Note that  _shared_pool_reserved_min_alloc is a hidden parameter in
 8i.


 If all else fails, increase the size of the shared pool again.


 Hope some of this helps.

Dear DBA Gurus,

I am getting the following error while inserting into a schema's parent
table which is being referred by 42 tables of another schema.

ORA-04031: unable to allocate 2196 bytes of shared memory (shared
pool,RA_VOLUME_PLAN_POOL,KQLS heap,KQLS MEM BLOCK);

How do I resolve this?  I increased the shared_pool_size from 15mb to 30mb
and shared_pool_reserved_size from 1mb to 5mb but it didn't solve the
problem.  I also set the _db_cached_cursors parameter to 0 and bounced the
database but in vain.  BTW I am using oracle 8.1.6 enterprise edition on
Sun
Solaris 2.7.  Any help in this regard will be very much appreciated.

TIA and Regards,

sql*loader datatype question

2001-08-30 Thread Koivu, Lisa
Title: sql*loader datatype question





I'm hitting a wall here. I'm trying to load data into a large table. Two of the fields are phone numbers (10 digits). The database field is defined as number(10). 

When I try to load these records, they err out with an error similar to below. 



Record 858: Rejected - Error on table INV_OWNER.FPSITE, column FPS_AFFIL_LTD_PTS_FPS.
ORA-01722: invalid number


So I change the fields to character, get the data in and it truly is all 10-digit numbers. I'm wondering if I'm missing something in the format. The doco says that INTEGER EXTERNAL is to be used for human readable numbers, non-binary, when you want to specify the length. The length I've chosen is correct. I can even create a table with number(10) columns and insert the varchar(10) phone number data into it! 

What am I missing? I really do not want to change all my number fields to character. It would defeat the purpose. I have a feeling I'm missing some sort of conversion in SQL*Loader but I don't see it off the top of my head. 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
