RE: Buffer Busy Waits -- Sanity check please

2001-11-27 Thread Thorns, Malcolm (NESL-IT)

Jeff,
 
The 3 sessions are doing the same (or similar) queries.  In this case
count(*) which is forcing a full table scan of the table in each session.
The 3 sessions are thus trying to access the same blocks from the SGA,  in
the same order.  Only 1 session can access a block in the SGA at a time -
this is the session showing 'db file scattered read'. The other 2 sessions
need to wait for the block (these waits show as 'buffer busy waits' - ie
waiting for the block in the SGA).  You will see the block id (and perhaps
the file id) changing as the FTS's progress.  Thus the sessions are
'chasing' each other through the blocks - holding each other up with SGA
block contention - which shows up as 'buffer busy waits'.  Hope that
explains things.
 
Regards,
 
Malcolm

buffer busy waits 
and after a period of time, I see sessions hung on the same block#.The
SQL query 
is always a COUNT(*) (below).   It's almost as though one session has a lock

Hi Tom,


A week before i was tried to install oracle 9i on WinNT4(20GB Hard Disk,
128MB RAM). The software has been downloaded from Net.


In my pc, i already have oracle731. I had tried to install oracle9i in
another home. I had been installed oracle server sucessfully, but


while creating the DB it failed by throwing our error message OUT of
memory, there is no log, nothing. I cann't able to identify why is was
happening.


Even i tried to increase the virtual memory too (I want to know is it
helpful if we were in out of memory state?).


Then what i did is, uninstalled Oracle731, and cleared all relavant
registry entries, restart the PC, started to install ORa9i.


This time, it has done nicely, no problem nothing. But i was confused why
installer refering other versions of oracle to install ora9i, anyway we


are using different home, is't it?...


Ok, ur attachment is in binary format, so it's NOT useful for us. I didn't
find any similar type of doc file in ora9i installer CD. Can you post it


in text format, if you don't mind.


 Another thing is, I would go into the registry and remove all traces
 of Oracle. -- How can do this, do you mean that, just search for


 oracle9i or something similar like this and remove from the
 registery?


 Thanks in advance


 Rgds,
 Nirmal.

 It sounds like the 817 install left some trash around.


 If I were you,  [Nirmal Kumar  Muthu Kumaran]   I would go into the

 Then, reboot the win2k box and try your install again.

This will not resolve the 'buffer busy wait' scenario.  
The contention is for blocks that are already in the SGA.

SELECTs sometimes do some block house-keeping, and thus modify Oracle
buffers even if they are not supposed to. I have also witnessed strange
behaviours with IOTs. What do other queries do? Have you checked
V$SQLAREA to know whether this query is executed very often or not? I
guess that at least CUSTOMER_ID is indexed (BTW it would be interesting
to know whether the busy block is a data or index block. Try this :

select owner, segment_name, partition_name, segment_type
from dba_extents
where file_id = 72
 and block_id = 109177
  and   109177  block_id + blocks

If the block is a table block, you can fudge the issue by making Oracle
only look into an index storing all referenced columns (which would
probably also mean making CHECK_ID not null, side-effects on your code).
If it's an index block, it's more delicate to handle.

If your query is executed very often, denormalizing might also be an
idea. I am no great fan of denormalisation but a trigger to maintain a
count and a sum would be comparable in overhead cost to an additional
index.

Antwort: RE: Antwort: RE: Buffer Busy Waits -- Sanity check please

2001-11-27 Thread Ivo . Libal


But what if they are aging out, isnt that one of reasons for buffer busy
and they are - if there is a scattered read

From docus:
As buffer busy waits are due to contention for particular blocks then you
cannot take any action until you know which blocks are being competed for
and why. Eliminating the cause of the contention is the best option. Note
that buffer busy waits for data blocks are often due to several processes
repeatedly reading the same blocks (eg: if lots of people scan the same
index) - the first session processes the blocks that are in the buffer
cache quickly but then a block has to be read from disk - the other
sessions (scanning the same index) quickly 'catch up' and want the block
which is currently being read from disk - they wait for the buffer as
someone is already reading the block in.

If the table s not too big, than I would put it to the cache to avoid
reloads from harddisk.

Jeff,

The 3 sessions are doing the same (or similar) queries.  In this case
count(*) which is forcing a full table scan of the table in each session.
The 3 sessions are thus trying to access the same blocks from the SGA,  in
the same order.  Only 1 session can access a block in the SGA at a time -
this is the session showing 'db file scattered read'. The other 2 sessions
need to wait for the block (these waits show as 'buffer busy waits' - ie
waiting for the block in the SGA).  You will see the block id (and perhaps
the file id) changing as the FTS's progress.  Thus the sessions are
'chasing' each other through the blocks - holding each other up with SGA
block contention - which shows up as 'buffer busy waits'.  Hope that
explains things.

Regards,

Malcolm

You cannot achieve this by one sql statement. 
Instead you should consider use PL/SQL.
Make your own procedure or an anonymous PL/SQL block.
I would like to give you an example but you have to tell more about your
problem, like the update  should be done based on a relation between those 2
tables... and furthermore it's an insert or an update what you were talking
about?
If you want just an insert you can use something like:
INSERT INTO X

  SELECT field_in_P FROM P

Subject: Fixing a DB
Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2001 05:25:34 -0800

We have a DB that is currently in more-or-less development mode for a state
government client.  The DB has been created (11,300 lines of SQL*Plus code)
with the tables and indexes stored in the permanent tablespace
(SOS2_TBLSPC).  There is no separate tablespace for indexes.  The DB
currently holds test data.  I think the process to correct this would be:

1. Determine the size, etc. of the INDEX tablespace, write the script and
then run it to create the tablespace.

2. Go through the DDL SQL script for OKSOS (state gov. office name
abbreviation) and change the tablespace name SOS2_TBLSPC to the new INDEX
tablespace name.

3. Then run the DDL SQL script to create the new DB.

4. Then do and Export of the data from the old DB and Import it into the 
new
DB.

5. Then I think I have to regenerate your indexes.  I'm not clear on this
point. Will the Export/Import process may take care of this?

Is there anything I have missed?  I'm sure there is.

Although,
I've checked and
there's no DML ongoing, so I'm unsure as to why we would see this. Note
that v$session shows
78 and 393 to be INACTIVE, while 159 is ACTIVE. So it's like 159 can't
write to
the buffer cache because 78 and 393 have a lock there. Note that these
are
all defined
as persistent connections, via the Vignette front-end. I'm sure all the
clues are there
but my brain is too fuzzed to piece it together.

2001-11-27 Thread Thomas Jeff
Title: FW: Buffer Busy Waits --  Sanity check please





All: Thanks for the replies!


And yes, it's a data block. The query has been executed over 3,500 times 
since this site went live about 5 days ago. I believe I'll check into 
overindexing just as suggested, either that, go over and shoot the 
programmers responsible for this travesty. I had already noted the problem 
with the CHECK_ID column and was going to suggest making it NOT NULL and 
using a default value. 


BTW, the PK for this table has 7 columns, and CUSTOMER_ID is buried in the 4th 
position.


However, why is it completely stalled? I'm seeing idle times of 10-12 hours,
and as you can see another sessions have joined the fun, but it all is hung
on the same block id. There has been no movement in 10 hours:


259 buffer busy waits file# 72 block# 109177 id 130
303 buffer busy waits file# 72 block# 109177 id 130
327 buffer busy waits file# 72 block# 109177 id 130 
159 db file scattered read file# 72 block# 109177 blocks 8

 The SQL query

 a lock
 of some sort in the buffer cache and other sessions are blocked.
 Although, I've checked and
 there's no DML ongoing, so I'm unsure as to why we would see this.
 Note that v$session shows
 78 and 393 to be INACTIVE, while 159 is ACTIVE. So it's like 159
 can't write to
 the buffer cache because 78 and 393 have a lock there. Note that
 these are all defined
 as persistent connections, via the Vignette front-end. I'm sure all
 the clues are there
 but my brain is too fuzzed to piece it together.

SELECTs sometimes do some block house-keeping, and thus modify Oracle
buffers even if they are not supposed to. I have also witnessed strange
behaviours with IOTs. What do other queries do? Have you checked
V$SQLAREA to know whether this query is executed very often or not? I
guess that at least CUSTOMER_ID is indexed (BTW it would be interesting
to know whether the busy block is a data or index block. Try this :


select owner, segment_name, partition_name, segment_type
from dba_extents
where file_id = 72
and block_id = 109177
 and 109177  block_id + blocks


If the block is a table block, you can fudge the issue by making Oracle
only look into an index storing all referenced columns (which would
probably also mean making CHECK_ID not null, side-effects on your code).
If it's an index block, it's more delicate to handle.


If your query is executed very often, denormalizing might also be an
idea. I am no great fan of denormalisation but a trigger to maintain a
count and a sum would be comparable in overhead cost to an additional
index.

Denham,

Craig 
Shallahamer explores this issue in a paper on www.orapub.comabout Response Time 
Analysis. 

In 
essence, one way of calculating the no. of transactions can be from 'user 
commits' + 'user rollbacks', but it appears that you also want to calculate the 
"response time" for these transactions. A slightly "harder" problem, as 
Craig suggests.

RE: ACM SIGMOD-papers of interest #1

2001-11-27 Thread Mohan, Ross

Henry, this is a great post. All I can add of peripheral
interest is a pointer to a book called Efficient Memory Programming
or something like that. 

Absolutely the best presentation of CPU/cache dependencies i have seen. 

Makes you really think about cache behavior, CPU architecture, and all
these tools that say they crosscompile or run platform independently. 

when resources (time, memory, correctness, etc) are thin, a handcrafted
program by an architecture savvy programmer is often the best thing. 

thanks again, Henry.great stuff..

Well, I'm way behind on my reading so I am just finishing a quick (?) skim
of the May proceedings of the 2001 ACM SIGMOD Conference on Management of
Data. There is some interesting stuff in there so I thought I would try to
review some of the high points I found. ACM SIGMOD is the Special Interest
Group on Management of Data from the Association for Computing Machinery.
You can join for just $20 and get totally swamped with CDs and publications.
(www.acm.org)

There are a few interesting articles. This is installment #1

DBMSs On A Modern Processor: Where Does Time Go?
(http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~natassa/papers/vldb99_paper.pdf)
Anastassia Ailamaki, David J. DeWitt, Mark D. Hill, David A. Wood
University of Wisconsin - Madison

from Proceedings of the 25th VLDB Conference, 1999

This paper was actually referenced in a paper from ACM SIGMOD 2001
(Improving Index Performance through Prefetching)

The main point is that even as we concentrate on increasing performance by
tuning IO, the hit from processor cache misses is becoming more important.
The increasing gap between processor speed and DRAM/disk speeds is
accentuating this problem. Most DBMSs focus on caching data in main memory
(buffer cache), but this ignores the caching of main memory in level 1 and
level 2 processor caches. Cache misses can account for 50% of execution
time.

In this paper, the authors examine four commercial (unnamed) DBMSs running
on a 6400 PII Intel Xeon/MT Workstation running Windows NT v4.0. The focus
is on the memory interactions, so to reduce IO effects, a memory resident
database is used (the buffer pool was large enough to hold the datasets for
the queries). Almost half the execution time was spent on stalls. The
breakdown is as follows:
*   90% of the stalls are from:
-second-level cache data misses
-first -level cache instruction misses
*   20% of the stalls are from subtle implemention details (e.g. branch
misdirection)

Analysis was done using simple queries (sequential range, index range,
sequential join). The results were compared to TPC-D (and TPC-C?) benchmarks
which yielded similar results. It thus appears reasonable to scale the
conclusions of this simple methodology to more complex scenarios. 

DETAILS
Query time = computation time + memory stalls + branch misdirection overhead
+ resource related stalls - overlap (some work can be done while waiting for
a stall).

Computation time is usually less than 1/2 of the execution time. Since
memory access times decrease more slowly than processor clock speeds, the
computation time componant will continue to decrease. Most of the workload
is also seen to be latency, not bandwidth bound (latency - how long it
takes.  bandwidth - how much you can do in a given time. If you are latency
bound, adding more processors won't help as the information isn't getting
there fast enough. [summarized from In Search of Clusters. thanks Ross])

Memory stall times vary more across different query types than across
different DBMSs. Memory stall is the most significant one of the three major
stall types. The bulk of the memory stall is from L1-information cache and
L2-data cache. It is possible, however, that tuning for one or two of the
stall types will just shift the bottleneck to the remaining stalls. Memory
stalls are also dependent on increasing record size [locality of data].

svrmgrl and W2k

2001-11-27 Thread Koivu, Lisa
Title: svrmgrl and W2k





OH MY GOSH this sucks. 


Is anyone running 8.1.7 EE on W2k? I am trying to start the database (and the listener, for that matter) via Terminal Server and it keeps erring out with ORA-12560 protocol adapter error. 

I look on Metalink and it just plain says, Go to the console. WHAT? Are you KIDDING! Here's the note:


fact: Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition 
fact: RDBMS 
fact: MS Windows 2000 
fact: MS Windows NT 
symptom: Cannot connect to SVRMGRL 
symptom: ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error 
symptom: Cannot connect to SVRMGR30 
symptom: ORA-12203: TNS:unable to connect to destination 
cause: Bequeath protocol is not supported with Microsoft Terminal Server Client. ORA-12203 is seen on Oracle 8.0.6. ORA-12560 is seen on Oracle8i. 

fix: Connecting to SVRMGRL is done by using the BEQUEATH protocol which is not available using an MS Windows 2000 Terminal Server Client. To startup the instance, use the the Windows 2000 console to connect to the SVRMGRL. 

I can do this with W2k, Terminal Server and Standard Edition. 


Has anyone else seen this ? I am so irked I could scream. (But it could be the hormones).

RE: Altering Indexes

2001-11-27 Thread Mercadante, Thomas F

Ken,

Why not generate the alter index {} rebuild tablespace {} commands using
sql,
break the resulting commands up into several different files, and run them
at the same time?

Probably the easiest (and fastest) way to go.

The generate script would be:

set head off
set pages 1000
spool move_indexes.sql
select 'alter index ' || index_name || ' rebuild tablespace
{new_tablespace_name};'
from user_indexes
spool off

Take the move_indexes.sql script, and break it up into, say 5 files and run
5 sql sessions at once.

Hope this helps.

RE: HELP : doubts regarding --- Tablespace ,Roll Segment , diff between oracle 8i and 9i, and between oracle 8i and previous versions - urgent

2001-11-27 Thread Mark Leith

sangeetha,

1) If a tablespace is deleted all of the tables, indexes or rollback
segments that reside in that tablespace will also be deleted. Users are not
stored in a tablespace, except in the SYSTEM tablespace - which you DON'T
want to delete as it is the tablespace that runs the Oracle system.

2) Rollback segments are created to give users a read consistent view. an
example:

Scott wants to update the EMP table:

EMPID  EMPNAME  DEPT
-  ---  -

9567 JonesSALES

and set Jones' department to Support as he's moved jobs. Scott issues:

update emp set dept = 'SUPPORT' where empname = 'JONES';

but he does not COMMIT the change, as he needs to move on and do some other
things..

Frank comes along, and is trying to find out what Jones' department is, and
issues:

select empid, empname, dept from scott.emp where empname = 'JONES';

but scott as still not commited the change that he issued earlier. Frank
will still see:

EMPID  EMPNAME  DEPT
-  ---  -

9567 JonesSALES

When you create your database, you should add at least one non-system
rollback segment to be able to build tablespaces, and tables. When the
database is created there is one rollback sgement created in the SYSTEM
tablespace - but this is supposed to be used explicitly for system
transactions.

3) Exact differences are hard to explain without going in to a new paper or
something.. The major enhancements are Automatic Undo Management or AUM (the
above mentioned rollback segments are handled automagically for you),
flashback query (another addition stemming from AUM), Oracle managed files,
resumable transactions, online schema changes, new datatypes, and new SQL
commands such as MERGE. There is a member of this list - Joes Testa - who is
currently sending out (bi?)weekly emails to the list on the new features of
9i with examples and tests that he has performed. Very good reading!

8i also brought a wealth of new features from 7, such as locally managed
tablespaces, java support, xml,  partitioning, Index organised tables.. the
list could go on for a while... The best bet is to get on to a web site like
http://otn.oracle.com as they have a wealth of New Features, FAQ type
documents..

Welcome to the list!!

Ken,

Try executing the following:

select 'I am rebuilding my index '||index_name||' and putting it in
another tablespace;'
from user_indexes

and of course, spool the sucker, set heading off, set pagesize.

I have this large DB (approx. 250 tables) that has the tables and
indexes in
the same tablespace (not my design).  Is there a way I can move all
of the

one at a

Re: Altering Indexes

2001-11-27 Thread Kent Wayson


I've never heard of a mass move index utility.  What I did in a similar
situation is script it, with something like this:

SET head OFF feed ON echo OFF verify OFF pagesize 0 linesize 65 trimspool on
--
spool ind_fix.sql
--
select 'alter index '||index_name||' rebuild '
||CHR(10)||' tablespace  ts name here'
||CHR(10)||' storage (storage stuff here);'
from user_indexes
/
--
spool off
--
SET head ON feed ON echo ON verify ON pagesize 50 linesize 200


Then run the generated script.  This was on a database with over 2300
indexes (and 1400 tables).  Most weren't that large, so it didn't take too
long.  I was doing this to put the indexes in a tablespace with uniform
extent sizes, so the storage parameters were the same for every index.

RE: HELP : doubts regarding --- Tablespace ,Roll Segment , dif

2001-11-27 Thread Rao, Maheswara

sangeetha,

1. When a tablespace is deleted, the users do not get dropped.  Users would
still be present.  However, the tables created on the tablespace would be
dropped.  Users and their details are maintained in Oracle dictionary.  If
you have DBA permissions on your database, check the view, dba_users.  You
would see all the users.

2. A rollback segment stores any data that is changed in the database.  But
there are many ramifications for a rollback segment.  Read Oracle concepts
manual for a complete understanding of rollback segments.

3. There are many differences between Oracle 8i and Oracle 9i.  Listing them
here would be very lengthy.  You could create a user account in
http://otn.oracle.com/ .  It is free.  There go to this link --
http://otn.oracle.com/products/oracle9i/content.html . In this you would see
a title - Oracle 9i features.

maybe even moving the largest tables to their own
tablespace first.

Just remember that if you move a table, all its indexes will be invalid, so
you may want to rebuild the indexes for each table right after the table is
moved.  

If you just move the indexes, only the index being moved is temporarily
unavailable.

You cannot achieve this by one sql statement. 
Instead you should consider use PL/SQL.
Make your own procedure or an anonymous PL/SQL block.
I would like to give you an example but you have to tell more about your
problem, like the update  should be done based on a relation between those 2
tables... and furthermore it's an insert or an update what you were talking
about?
If you want just an insert you can use something like:
INSERT INTO X
  (field_in_X)
  SELECT field_in_P FROM P

Dennis:

Thanks for the advice.  Fortunately I am doing a DB conversion from IMS /
Lotus Notes to 8.1.7.  This is being done on a dedicated server which only I
have access to and there is no application software connected to it.  When I
finish the data conversion the data will be exported (for want of a better
word) to the production DB where it will be tested.  So, taking time do
something is not a problem. Currently the only data I have on the system
is a small lookup table.  So, the process would probably go rather quickly.

Ken - No, there isn't a magic single command. Moving the indexes, even with
alter index, cause a lot of work for Oracle, and can consume quite a bit of
time. As the typical cautious production DBA, I do not like to start a
really large monolithic process that might make my system unavailable to the
users for an unknown period of time. I would recommend that you use SQL to
create a script to alter the indexes. This will allow you to Pareto's rule
to do the many small indexes first, then work up to the larger indexes that
use increasing amounts of time. Also, I would recommend considering several
index tablespaces, maybe even moving the largest tables to their own
tablespace first.

Henry, this is a great post. All I can add of peripheral

or something like that. 

Absolutely the best presentation of CPU/cache dependencies i have seen. 

Makes you really think about cache behavior, CPU architecture, and all
these tools that say they crosscompile or run platform independently. 

when resources (time, memory, correctness, etc) are thin, a handcrafted
program by an architecture savvy programmer is often the best thing.

This is a cross-dressing post folks...

so...unfortunately, Susan McClain will not be able to attend OOW, and
it now seems I AM presenting (where the heck did I put that skirt?)...
I will be giving her presentation for her Statspack on Monday (I think
at 11)

Be kind folks, I haven't even SEEN the paper or presentation yet, and I
haven't really worked with statspack much.

This means it will be a short presentation :)

I think they call this a challenge.

RE: Altering Indexes

2001-11-27 Thread Mark Leith

Just a question off the wall here - kind of related:

Does anybody know why Oracle does NOT give the option to have a DEFAULT
INDEX TABLESPACE along with TEMPORARY and DEFAULT (for Tables for example)..
I know, I know it's just another thing to add to your syntax - but it would
be a FAR better way of doing things wouldn't it?

I would much prefer to say:

create user mark identified by beer
default table tablespace USER_DATA
quota 100 M on USER_DATA
default index tablespace USER_IDXS
quota 100 M on USER_IDXS
temporary tablespace TEMP;

as this totally takes away the nightmare of having them all created in one
single tablespace..

Anyone with an in with Oracle know the answer? Anyone care to speculate?

I have this large DB (approx. 250 tables) that has the tables and indexes in
the same tablespace (not my design).  Is there a way I can move all of the

time with the alter index command, but that would be rather time consuming.

OH MY GOSH this sucks.  

Is anyone running 8.1.7 EE on W2k?  I am trying to start the database (and

I look on Metalink and it just plain says, Go to the console.  WHAT?  Are
you KIDDING!  Here's the note:

*   fact: Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition

fix: Connecting to SVRMGRL is done by using the BEQUEATH protocol which is
not available using an MS Windows 2000 Terminal Server Client. To startup
the instance, use the the Windows 2000 console to connect to the SVRMGRL. 

I can do this with W2k, Terminal Server and Standard Edition.

Re: SVRMGRL and W2K

2001-11-27 Thread DBarbour


Lisa,

Got bit by this first time out of the box with W2K.  I don't have access to
PCAnywhere, so I had to do the install from the console.  I have however
created a ton of .bat files that perform various functions that I can
execute from Terminal Services.  I found it necessary to use sqlplus with
the 'connect as' string, but it gets me in just fine.  If I don't have the
script do something completely (backup, startup, shutdown, analyze, etc), I
have a generic one that pops up a DOS Prompt screen and puts me at the SQL
prompt with sysdba privileges.  Here's how I've done it (Perl is still on
my list Jared):

First file is login.bat

set ORACLE_SID=SID    These are just for good measure,
Registry and Environment SHOULD suffice, but it's Windoze
set ORACLE_HOME=F:\oracle\ora81
sqlplus /nolog @F:\oracle\admin\system_scripts\sysconnect.sql
exit

Next file is sysconnect.sql

connect sys/password@SID as sysdba



That's it.  Go in through terminal services, run login.bat, and you're home
free.  Everything else follows.

Hope this helps.

Henry, this is a great post. All I can add of peripheral
interest is a pointer to a book called Efficient Memory Programming
or something like that. 

Absolutely the best presentation of CPU/cache dependencies i have seen. 

Makes you really think about cache behavior, CPU architecture, and all
these tools that say they crosscompile or run platform independently. 

when resources (time, memory, correctness, etc) are thin, a handcrafted
program by an architecture savvy programmer is often the best thing. 

thanks again, Henry.great stuff..

Oracle/UNIX vs. Oracle/NT

Hello everyone,

I'm certain that this is a FAQ, but I thought I would make a request here.

I have a client whose management is requesting us to make a business case
for keeping our Oracle on UNIX rather than on NT.

I wonder if anyone can link to or provide any of the following on this
subject:

* whitepapers
* platform selection papers
* pro/con summaries to management, no matter how informal

Please help in any way you can, thanks in advance,

Re: Altering Indexes

2001-11-27 Thread Stephane Faroult

Mark Leith wrote:
 
 Just a question off the wall here - kind of related:
 
 Does anybody know why Oracle does NOT give the option to have a DEFAULT
 INDEX TABLESPACE along with TEMPORARY and DEFAULT (for Tables for example)..
 I know, I know it's just another thing to add to your syntax - but it would
 be a FAR better way of doing things wouldn't it?
 
 I would much prefer to say:
 
 create user mark identified by beer
 default table tablespace USER_DATA
 quota 100 M on USER_DATA
 default index tablespace USER_IDXS
 quota 100 M on USER_IDXS
 temporary tablespace TEMP;
 
 as this totally takes away the nightmare of having them all created in one
 single tablespace..
 
 Anyone with an in with Oracle know the answer? Anyone care to speculate?

 Cheers
 
 Mark
 

Mark,

   Good suggestion. As far as one usually finds more indices in the data
tablespace than the reverse, I have flirted with the idea of making the
tablespace devoted to indices the default one, but it's changing the
problem. But I have something to suggest :
 
 create user mark identified by beer
 default table tablespace SYSTEM
 quota 100 M on USER_DATA
 quota 100 M on USER_IDXS
 temporary tablespace TEMP;

 (assuming of course that you do not have the UNLIMITED TABLESPACE
privilege). My bet is that it won't take long before you remember to
always specify the tablespace, yek, yek, yek. In case using SYSTEM would
make you (understandably) uncomfortable, you can create say a 50K
BARELAND tablespace on which nobody has quotas.

Delete slowing..

2001-11-27 Thread Mark Leith

Hi list people :)

We have a customer who has been running a particular delete statement
against a table for a while now, which usually ran within minutes. All of a
sudden this table has suddenly gone from a few minutes right up to 50! He
wants to diagnose why..

Where would you start?

I have a few ideas of my own - like stale stats, small rollback segments
etc. - but am after some of your advice also before I get back to him
tomorrow morning.. Not sure on the Oracle version, OS, or even amount of
rows he is deleting or size of the table (yet, I'll find this out tomorrow),
but there has to be a pretty standard way of diagnosing this..

All help appreciated.

Mark

export/import questions

Hi
If one of the tablespace in database is TRANSPORT TABLESPACE.I have full 
export with consistent=y and full=y.
Can I full import the database?
If yes then what will happened with transport tablespace?
In case of crash can I restore full database with full export?
The assumption is we don't have any other backup plan.
Thanks

RE: Delete slowing..

Mark,

check for foreign key/missing index combinations.  If the table is a parent
table, and it's child's foreign key's column is not indexed, the delete can
take *forever* if the child is a large table.

Problem importing objects to different tablespace

2001-11-27 Thread George Hofilena

Guys,

I'd appreciate any help that I could get.

I was trying to import to another tablespace, same user.  I hadn't had a
need to do this in a while but thought this shouldn't be too difficult.  So
I did what the manuals said:

ran a user export
set user's quota on old tablespace to 0
granted unlimited quota to user on new tablespace
revoke resource, unlimited tablespace privs from user
make new tablespace default for user

Then when I ran the import with ignore=y I got the error space quota
exceeded for tablespace old tablespace for all create table commands.
Bottom line is, it didn't import the tables.
Reading the manuals and Metalink docs, the process looked really
straightforward.

Does anybody know of anything that I've missed?

Thanks,

George

Listers meeting at OOW

How about Tuesday evening, around 7:00?

Call out on the list if you are going to come, so we can keep track of

'We have done nothing and suddenly it's slow' is a well known tune.
Usual suspects :
1) Stats, computed or deleted
2) Dropped index
3) Newly created trigger
4) Locks. Nobody doing DML on the same table during the delete ?

Re: Oracle/UNIX vs. Oracle/NT

2001-11-27 Thread Rodd Holman

Paul,
If they want to save $$$ they could consider migrating to LINUX.  For a
UNIX shop it is a more logical migration than NT/2000.  Or, is their
idea to get rid of higher priced SA's in favor of NT
Admins which they think they should pay less?  In which case the outcome
is decided all ready.

Paul - What is the base of experience in this shop? Is it primarily an NT
shop and the Unix system is the odd one, or is it primarily a Unix shop and
the NT conversion would be a first plunge? Everything I hear depends
primarily on this factor. Most indications are that the Unix systems tend to
be more reliable, but there are strong NT shops that seem to keep their NT
reliability up, and would struggle with the odd Unix system. I assume that
you are really talking Windows 2000 at this point.

Hello everyone,

I'm certain that this is a FAQ, but I thought I would make a request here.

I have a client whose management is requesting us to make a business case
for keeping our Oracle on UNIX rather than on NT.

I wonder if anyone can link to or provide any of the following on this
subject:

* whitepapers
* platform selection papers
* pro/con summaries to management, no matter how informal

Please help in any way you can, thanks in advance,

Paul

OH MY GOSH this sucks. 


Is anyone running 8.1.7 EE on W2k? I am trying to start the database (and
the listener, for that matter) via Terminal Server and it keeps erring out
with ORA-12560 protocol adapter error. 


I look on Metalink and it just plain says, Go to the console. WHAT? Are
you KIDDING! Here's the note:


* fact: Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition 
* fact: RDBMS 
* fact: MS Windows 2000 
* fact: MS Windows NT 
* symptom: Cannot connect to SVRMGRL 
* symptom: ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error 
* symptom: Cannot connect to SVRMGR30 
* symptom: ORA-12203: TNS:unable to connect to destination 
* cause: Bequeath protocol is not supported with Microsoft Terminal
Server Client. ORA-12203 is seen on Oracle 8.0.6. ORA-12560 is seen on
Oracle8i. 
fix: Connecting to SVRMGRL is done by using the BEQUEATH protocol which is
not available using an MS Windows 2000 Terminal Server Client. To startup
the instance, use the the Windows 2000 console to connect to the SVRMGRL. 


I can do this with W2k, Terminal Server and Standard Edition.

Re: Problem importing objects to different tablespace

 Guys,
 
 I'd appreciate any help that I could get.
 
 I was trying to import to another tablespace, same user.  I hadn't had a
 need to do this in a while but thought this shouldn't be too difficult.  So
 I did what the manuals said:
 
 ran a user export
 set user's quota on old tablespace to 0
 granted unlimited quota to user on new tablespace
 revoke resource, unlimited tablespace privs from user
 make new tablespace default for user
 
 Then when I ran the import with ignore=y I got the error space quota
 exceeded for tablespace old tablespace for all create table commands.
 Bottom line is, it didn't import the tables.
 Reading the manuals and Metalink docs, the process looked really
 straightforward.
 
 Does anybody know of anything that I've missed?
 
 Thanks,
 
 George
 

Yes : a user cannot own two objects with the same name. The problem is
with keeping everything in the same schema. You should have dropped all
tables to be moved beforehand. Your message doesn't come from CREATE
commands, but INSERT commands (you are aloso likely to have a number of
duplicate rows if some of your tables had no unique index, PK or
otherwise, defined).

check for foreign key/missing index combinations.  If the table is a parent

take *forever* if the child is a large table.

Hi list people :)

We have a customer who has been running a particular delete statement
against a table for a while now, which usually ran within minutes. All of a
sudden this table has suddenly gone from a few minutes right up to 50! He
wants to diagnose why..

Where would you start?

I have a few ideas of my own - like stale stats, small rollback segments
etc. - but am after some of your advice also before I get back to him
tomorrow morning.. Not sure on the Oracle version, OS, or even amount of
rows he is deleting or size of the table (yet, I'll find this out tomorrow),
but there has to be a pretty standard way of diagnosing this..

All help appreciated.

RE: Altering Indexes

2001-11-27 Thread MacGregor, Ian A.

The idea is wonderful and also very old.  It was one of the first enhancement requests 
submitted.  As far as I can tell Oracle has never shown an interest in it.  Indeed it 
appears to be going the other way.  Take LOB's for instance.  You can place the LOB 
segment in a separate tablespace from the rest of the table's data, but the lob_index 
is going to go in the same tablespace as the lob_segment.  The documentation states: 

This clause [lob_index] is deprecated as of Oracle8i.  Oracle generates an index for 
each LOB column. Oracle names and manages the LOB indexes internally.  Although it is 
still possible for you to specify this clause, Oracle Corporation strongly recommends 
that you no longer do so.

RE: Oracle/UNIX vs. Oracle/NT

2001-11-27 Thread Mercadante, Thomas F

Paul,

I think Dennis makes a great point here.  If your organization thinks that
they can save money by switching hardware, you should point out that all of
the Unix admins will need NT Admin classes as part of the migration to the
new environment.

As I've said in the past, a well-maintained professionally administered NT
platform works just fine for most Oracle OLTP applications.  

Hope this helps.

Hello everyone,

I'm certain that this is a FAQ, but I thought I would make a request here.

I have a client whose management is requesting us to make a business case
for keeping our Oracle on UNIX rather than on NT.

I wonder if anyone can link to or provide any of the following on this
subject:

* whitepapers
* platform selection papers
* pro/con summaries to management, no matter how informal

Please help in any way you can, thanks in advance,

Paul

If they're currently a unix shop and want to save money, why not suggest
Linux?  It will run on the same hardware as Windows, and they can
leverage their existing unix experience.

Script to Disable Constraint, Change Value, then Enable Constrain

2001-11-27 Thread David Wagoner








Listers,



Does anyone have a script that will do the following:




 Accept
 user input for old data value
 Accept
 user input for new data value
 Disable
 table constraint
 Update
 record with new data value
 Enable
 constraint




A script like this would help ensure that constraints are not left off
after updates, allowing illegal data into the tables. Good user-proof script I would think.





TIA,



david

Lisa,


Got bit by this first time out of the box with W2K. I don't have access to
PCAnywhere, so I had to do the install from the console. I have however
created a ton of .bat files that perform various functions that I can
execute from Terminal Services. I found it necessary to use sqlplus with
the 'connect as' string, but it gets me in just fine. If I don't have the
script do something completely (backup, startup, shutdown, analyze, etc), I
have a generic one that pops up a DOS Prompt screen and puts me at the SQL
prompt with sysdba privileges. Here's how I've done it (Perl is still on
my list Jared):


First file is login.bat


set ORACLE_SID=SID  These are just for good measure,
Registry and Environment SHOULD suffice, but it's Windoze
set ORACLE_HOME=F:\oracle\ora81
sqlplus /nolog @F:\oracle\admin\system_scripts\sysconnect.sql
exit


Next file is sysconnect.sql


connect sys/password@SID as sysdba




That's it. Go in through terminal services, run login.bat, and you're home
free. Everything else follows.


Hope this helps.

fix: Connecting to SVRMGRL is done by using the BEQUEATH protocol which is

the instance, use the the Windows 2000 console to connect to the SVRMGRL.


I can do this with W2k, Terminal Server and Standard Edition.

RE: Oracle/UNIX vs. Oracle/NT

2001-11-27 Thread DENNIS WILLIAMS

Paul - then I would check for a paper from a Unix vendor that discusses
total cost of ownership. A good place to start might be the Sun Web site
since Sun is the major Unix vendor that doesn't offer NT systems. Start
looking at the cost of downtime for your organization. Then there is the
cost of retraining your system administrators to the point that they can
handle NT well. I think that is where most organizations like yours end up
with unhappy NT experiences, they neglect to bring their staff up to
standards, feeling it is just a Windows system, and therefore anyone can
keep it running.

RE: Problem importing objects to different tablespace

2001-11-27 Thread Feng, Jun

The default tablespace is only used whenever there is no tablesapce
parameter in the crate and alter table/index statements. Since the export
always have tablespace parameter with the create table/index statement, your
import method definitely will fail. You can change the tablespace for the
segment by creating the segment in the desired tablesapce first, then
import.

Guys,

I'd appreciate any help that I could get.

I was trying to import to another tablespace, same user.  I hadn't had a
need to do this in a while but thought this shouldn't be too difficult.  So
I did what the manuals said:

ran a user export
set user's quota on old tablespace to 0
granted unlimited quota to user on new tablespace
revoke resource, unlimited tablespace privs from user
make new tablespace default for user

Then when I ran the import with ignore=y I got the error space quota
exceeded for tablespace old tablespace for all create table commands.
Bottom line is, it didn't import the tables.
Reading the manuals and Metalink docs, the process looked really
straightforward.

Does anybody know of anything that I've missed?

Thanks,

 Guys,
 
 I'd appreciate any help that I could get.
 
 I was trying to import to another tablespace, same user.  I hadn't had a
 need to do this in a while but thought this shouldn't be too difficult.
So
 I did what the manuals said:
 
 ran a user export
 set user's quota on old tablespace to 0
 granted unlimited quota to user on new tablespace
 revoke resource, unlimited tablespace privs from user
 make new tablespace default for user
 
 Then when I ran the import with ignore=y I got the error space quota
 exceeded for tablespace old tablespace for all create table commands.
 Bottom line is, it didn't import the tables.
 Reading the manuals and Metalink docs, the process looked really
 straightforward.
 
 Does anybody know of anything that I've missed?
 
 Thanks,
 
 George
 

Yes : a user cannot own two objects with the same name. The problem is
with keeping everything in the same schema. You should have dropped all
tables to be moved beforehand. Your message doesn't come from CREATE
commands, but INSERT commands (you are aloso likely to have a number of
duplicate rows if some of your tables had no unique index, PK or
otherwise, defined).

Hi list people :)

We have a customer who has been running a particular delete statement
against a table for a while now, which usually ran within minutes. All of a
sudden this table has suddenly gone from a few minutes right up to 50! He
wants to diagnose why..

Where would you start?

I have a few ideas of my own - like stale stats, small rollback segments
etc. - but am after some of your advice also before I get back to him
tomorrow morning.. Not sure on the Oracle version, OS, or even amount of
rows he is deleting or size of the table (yet, I'll find this out tomorrow),
but there has to be a pretty standard way of diagnosing this..

All help appreciated.

RE: Oracle/UNIX vs. Oracle/NT

2001-11-27 Thread Troiano, Paul (CAP, GEFA)


Sounds like some inverted thinking by management... justify not making the
change(?). Usually you would have a cost-based analysis for making the
change. I've never seen one that would justify NT (I'd love to see it if
they have one). Both Solaris and Linux are alternatives to the OS-specific
hardware issues since they run very well on Intel systems. However, when you
price out similar Intel-based or Sparc-based hardware, the cost is the same.
If they want cheaper hardware, they can buy that. It makes no difference.
Since it is already a UNIX shop I am assuming there is no problem finding
personnel. They sound confused.

Re: Problem Starting SQL Loader

2001-11-27 Thread John Hough

Hi Ken,

SQlldr is not a sqlplus command.  It will need to be run from the OS 
like sqlplus.

Good Luck

SP2-0042:  unknown command sqlldr - rest of line ignored.

I'm calling it from my client PC and the DB is located on a separate server.

How do I get this to work?

RE: Revoke Delete

2001-11-27 Thread Jack C. Applewhite

Actually, you can.  Use FGAC (Fine-Grained Access Control) and you can put a
Policy in place on a table that even the table owner can't bypass - even
System can't bypass.  Only Sys can bypass FGAC policies - and the owner of
the security schema in which you place the Policy functions.

I've used FGAC and Application Context successfully to enforce complex
security, but the more I think about it, you could really do some fiendish
tricks with it - if you were the fiendish kind.   ;-)

You can't revoke the ability to delete from the schema owner.  You
could revoke CREATE SESSION from the schema owner, but that doesn't
solve the problem of DBA-privileged accounts being able to delete.

I'm guessing that this is a perfect opportunity to use an INSTEAD OF
trigger.

 Hi Listers,

 How can we revoke 'delete privilege' from the schema owner of the
 table and
 also from DBA ?
 If it is not possible, can we set through trigger ?
 Thanks.

Re: Problem Starting SQL Loader

2001-11-27 Thread Jared . Still



Ken,

Sqlldr is a stanalone utility, it doesn't run from inside SQL*Plus, it runs
from the
OS  command line.

Take a look at the utilities manual for the docs on sqlldr.
