CROSS TAB QUERY

2001-11-28 Thread Moses Ngati Moya

Hi Gurus,

I have a table Monthly_Stats as below:

MONTH   VARCHAR2(20),
ERLANG  NUMBER(7,2)
CONGNUMBER(5,2)
.
.
CSETUP  NUMBER(5,2)

A record is inserted in this table every end of month.

I would like to write an SQL query to produce output below:

MONTH
JAN FEB MAR APR MAY .   .   .
DEC

ERLANG  777 999 98  66  87  999
CONG9   6   3   4   2
4
CSETUP
.
.
.

I do not know the number of months in advance, i.e. if the table has 3 months
(JAN, FEB, MAR), these are the only months I need in the report.


Any suggestions??

OEM for Personal Edition cannot connect

2001-11-28 Thread Sinard Xing

Hi,

I'm trying using OEM for Oracle's Personal Edition 98, 
what is the value of Management Server ?, 
I tried with PC name and 127.0.0.1 both gave me error message
VTK-1000: Unable to connect to management server 

Or perhaps OEM is not for Oracle 8i Personal Edition.

Please help

RE: Delete slowing..

Title: RE: Delete slowing..





Mark, something else to add to your list of things to check
Does a FTS of the table take a long time as well? 
If so I would try re-creating the table to remove the space left by previously deleted rows.

 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.

'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: Alternatives to Pathworks?

2001-11-28 Thread Hallas John
Title: RE: Alternatives to Pathworks?





Marc,
What transport protocol are you using at the moment if not TCP, Decnet I presume
The 2 things that spring to mind are 


1) Look at using Samba. That certainly works on VMS and allows file movement between VMS,Unix and NT. I have seen it grab a lot of CPU on VMS systems and I think it requires restarting frequently but that can all be scripted

2) What limits are reached on the VMS server. I cannot imagine UCX or whatever they call it now (services for TCP possibly) radically changing resource usage. Get a 30 day trial from Compaq and see what it affects

Dear list,


we have a 8.1.7 running on NT4. A NT-service copies flatfiles from a VAX/VMS
and starts a batch, which imports the data into the DB. VMS is reached via
Pathworks. Now, when Pathworks is installed an the machine running the
instance, the instance seems to become instable and dies under some
circumstances. Is there any alternative to pathworks? Our customer don't
want to install TCP on VMS, because the machine is at it's limit. 


Thanks in advance

RE: Script to Disable Constraint, Change Value, then Enable Constrain

2001-11-28 Thread Mark Leith



How 
could this be user proof? You are essentially disabling the constraint that WILL 
enforce data integrity, then letting the user input whatever rubbish he wants 
to, and are then going to try and enable the constraint 
afterwards?

Not a 
good approach.. How can you ensure that the user hasn't put a duplicate value in 
(unique constraint) or something else that might break the constraint rule? The 
only way you are going to know is when you try and re-enable the constraint it 
will fail.. 

I 
struggle to see why you would want to do this - do you have any 
more info?

RE: OEM for Personal Edition cannot connect

2001-11-28 Thread Mark Leith
Title: RE: OEM for Personal Edition cannot connect



The 
management server is the service that communicates between(?) the Intelligent 
Agent, and the OEM client console. It runs as a service in the background under 
the NT/2000 services or something like that under 98.. Never used it on 98 
before - my recommendation is to *never* run tools of this sort on a 9x platform 
as the thread management is simply not up to scratch to run the process that 
these tools like to spawn.. 

First 
thing to check is that the service is actually running in background. If so then 
check the status at a command prompt:

 
oemctrl status oms

If not 
then issue:

 
oemstrl start oms

or to 
start as a background process:

 
oemctrl start oms

You 
could also check the Management Servers logs:

OEM_HOME\sysman\log\oms.log

If you 
have any further errors in here (or if you are on NT check the Event Log) then 
act upon these errors or send them out to the list..

Re: Script to Disable Constraint, Change Value, then Enable Constrain

2001-11-28 Thread Connor McDonald

If the old and new data are both intended to be valid
- why do you need to disable the constraint?

If its a referential integrity issue - maybe a
deferrable constraint (8.0+) is what you are after.

Crontabs and Oracle

Guys,

I have a Unix shell script that runs and does some things with sqlplus. The
script runs fine when I start it up manually just using the command

$ host_startup.sh

However, If I try to start this host_startup.sh from the Crontab I get this
error logged in my mail.

produced the following output:

Any ideas? I've specifically said in the shell script where to find the
sqlplus binaries, so I'm not sure?! Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Kev.

I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and almost went back in time.

RE: Analyze only latest partition

2001-11-28 Thread Tatireddy, Shrinivas (MED, Keane)

Hi Connor

Thanq for responding. 

In dba_tab_partitions there is no such column like partition_id, and I
would like to generate a list at schema level for each table.

That means, this script should capture the latest (last) partitions for
each table (if it is partitioned) for a given schema.

Is there a way?

I tried with the following query. But there is some bug in that. It is
not capturing the last partition (in a whole database):

select object_name,owner ,subobject_name from dba_objects
where data_object_id in (select data_object_id from 
dba_objects where created in(select max(created)
from dba_objects ) and data_object_id is not null);

Can anybody debug this.?

Well 
said Mark.

you could also re-able the constraint 'novalidate' if you wanted to ignore the

If 
that was the case then why have an integrity constraint in the first

RE: Crontabs and Oracle

2001-11-28 Thread Robertson Lee - lerobe

Does this run from Oracles crontab ??

I would suggest that you need to set up some environment variables in the
script.

Export your ORACLE_HOME in the script
and add the following to your path variable

export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin

Guys,

I have a Unix shell script that runs and does some things with sqlplus. The
script runs fine when I start it up manually just using the command

$ host_startup.sh

However, If I try to start this host_startup.sh from the Crontab I get this
error logged in my mail.

Your cron job on phys-ki-sun4k2

Any ideas? I've specifically said in the shell script where to find the
sqlplus binaries, so I'm not sure?! Any help would be much appreciated.

Also, in the crontab entry, make sure u have an entry somewhat like this :

which means that the script will run at 8:30 every morning on all days of

Does this run from Oracles crontab ??

I would suggest that you need to set up some environment variables in the
script.

Export your ORACLE_HOME in the script
and add the following to your path variable

export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin

RE: Oracle/UNIX vs. Oracle/NT

2001-11-28 Thread Boivin, Patrice J

Here are my comments, speaking from personal experience as an Oracle DBA for
3 years on Tru64 UNIX and NT databases.  I am also doubling as the NT
administrator now.  There is another Oracle DBA (more experienced than me),
and there are 3 UNIX system administrators.  10 NT servers (2 old OWS
3.0.1.1., 2 iAs 9i, 1 used to have 5 7.3.4.4. instances on it, one has 3
8.1.7. instances on it), with 5 Digital (sorry, Compaq) Tru64 UNIX servers,
with 1-3 instances on them).

This is my perception at this point.

Microsoft marketing is very strong.  Managers use Windows9x/ME, so they
think WindowsNT/2000 is easy too.  Heck they know little about computers and
they can run MS Office and Outlook no problem, imagine what the techies
downstairs could do with the server OS from Microsoft!  Most managers don't
use computers - they need the latest laptops etc. for office status
purposes, but they don't use them for much more than running MS Office and
Outlook.  They read ComputerWorld and they see PC Magazine and PC World in
the pharmacies, that's about it.  They also notice that none of the UNIX
vendors ever advertise on TV (what's up with that?).  The people who decide
where to spend the money are not the people who have to work with the
systems.  In a good shop they would consult the people below, but often they
end up deciding first and arguing (or delaying purchase indefinitely) if the
techies down below question their decision).

Do they take into account replacing all their servers to keep NT/2000
running?  I imagine their existing machines can't run NT or Windows2000.

The point someone else made about training is a valid one, management may be
thinking that training is not required at all for NT because it's a Windows
OS and the techies can do anything, or that MCSEs are a dime a dozen now so
staff costs will be lower.  Problem is, they will need more staff to keep
the NT servers going than for an equivalent number of UNIX machines - once a
UNIX box runs, it runs reliably.

UNIX machines are not affected by the likes of NIMDA, BackOrifice and other
tools out there.  Most hackers don't have grudges against UNIX systems, but
they certainly do against Microsoft. Have you updated your virus files
lately?  If using McAfee, is your engine up to date?  Have you checked your
Event Viewer security log?  Has auditing even been enabled on your system?
You realize that auditing is shut off by default on NT.  (also not taught in
the NT4 MCSE classes).  Anyone with a copy of a server's ERD can crack the
passwords of all the user accounts that server has seen since the OS was
installed.  If someone gets the ERD from your BDC or PDC, you are royally
screwed.  How many ERDs are lying around in your computer room?  Do
contractors / term / casual employees ever go in there, and do any of them
have any reason to be unhappy with the way your company is treating them?
If one ERD is missing, how long will it take for anyone to notice?  The
attitude that NT is just Windows doesn't help security at all, the OS has
to be taken seriously.  If your machines have to be secure, get ready to
spend time doing it.  More time than if it was a UNIX host.

Web servers should use something other than IIS, IIS is popular because...
it's freeware.  The Gardner Group earlier this year advised people not to
use IIS, because it is not secure.  iAS went with Apache on Windows, which
is a bit of an oxymoron, Apache should be running on UNIX.  iAS made the
right decision, but it illustrates that the OS ends up running a UNIX web
server ported to NT.  Like it is used to run a UNIX-based database (Oracle)
on NT.  Why not just use UNIX?

To do remote admin, they will have to purchase a 3rd party tool like PC Duo
if they are using NT.  NT assumes an administrator would be at the server.
You can't telnet to NT systems because NT behaves like a home operating
system, it assumes you are sitting at the machine (may be possible with
Windows2000, not sure).  You can purchase 3rd party telnet software, but you
won't have access to the desktop.

Scripting on NT is not as user-friendly as it is in UNIX.  Retrieve from
archives those old DOS scripting books.  NT and Windows2000 offer more
commands, but at the core the scripting is still the same.  The AT command
used to run scripts on schedule in NT 4.0 is 99.9% reliable, but not 100%
reliable.  I ended up having to install a 3rd party utility called crontab
for Windows to keep my backup scripts running reliably.

The time clock keeps slipping back, esp. if your CPU is busy.  So you will
have to hook up the machine to a time server somewhere.

Every time there is a new version, you have to purchase it and upgrade the
hardware.  Much of your 3rd party and your in-house applications will have
to be ported to the new version.  I don't know if this is the case with UNIX
variants.

NT carries along with it a huge kernel, and a thick layer of graphics on top
of it.  To make all that work at a speed equivalent to UNIX, it

If you receive an output from the database you can pretty much say it's up

Hi Connor


Thanq for responding. 


In dba_tab_partitions there is no such column like partition_id, and I
would like to generate a list at schema level for each table.


That means, this script should capture the latest (last) partitions for
each table (if it is partitioned) for a given schema.


Is there a way?


I tried with the following query. But there is some bug in that. It is
not capturing the last partition (in a whole database):


select object_name,owner ,subobject_name from dba_objects
where data_object_id in (select data_object_id from 
dba_objects where created in(select max(created)
from dba_objects ) and data_object_id is not null);


Can anybody debug this.?


Thnx and Regards,

Audit vs Logminer

2001-11-28 Thread O'Neill, Sean

8i Database, W2K server.  Apps team looking for audit trail functionality.
I've outlined the pros and cons of Oracle Audit vs using Logminer to extract
audit info from archived redo logs as below:

- Archiving of Redo Logs will be carried out in any case.  
- All required auditing data as far as I can determine would be captured in
redo logs.  
- Using Logminer to investigate them looks like it would be more difficult
than using Oracles Auditing features.
- Introducing Oracle Auditing has limited functionality and has a
performance overhead.  
- Oracle auditing would require programming of triggers to capture before
and after values which in turn has another potential performance hit.
- Oracle audit data needs to be monitored and requires additional management
time.

I've not used Oracle Auditing or Logminer so the above is based upon some
reading I've done.  If I've missed any important points please give me
feedback on same.  Also anyone any opinions, or better still experience, as
to which is better from performance POV.

Oracle Finacials and pdf report generation

2001-11-28 Thread G . Plivna


Hi!

Unfortunately or maybe fortunately :-)? this is a problem of my friend, no
my own, so I don't know more details, at least now.

It is following:
There are two servers running Oracle Financials production and test, they
both produces reports in pdf format. And the problem is that test database
generates font names all in lowercase and of course Acrobat reader doesn't
understand these fonts and replaces them with default ones. When font names
are changed to appropriate case (using some text editor) all is OK. In the
same time in the production database all is OK, reports are generated
correctly. Their skills are too limited to find any differences.


Where could be problem?
Any ideas?
If you need more details let me know.

Re: Oracle8i on WinNT - renaming disc drives

2001-11-28 Thread Ron Rogers

Sonja,
 It is a complicated process to rename disk drives in the Oracle environment. 
Depending in the drives that Oracle uses and  what are changes(renamed) could really 
cause you frustration.
The initxxx.ora lists the current location of the controlfiles, logfiles, dump dirs, 
trace dirs, etc.
You will have to startup the database (if it can find the controlfile) and alter 
database rename .. to .. for each of the effected datafiles. It can be a long and 
detailed process. These are just a few thoughts off the top of my head.
Make notes and document everything to CYA.
Good Luck

RE: Connection question?

2001-11-28 Thread Koivu, Lisa
Title: RE: Connection question?





Hi Deepak


Here's what the doco says


The Bequeath protocol glossary.htm enables clients that exist on the same machine as the server to retrieve information from the database without using the listener. The Bequeath protocol internally spawns a dedicated server process for each client applications. In a sense, it does the same operation that a remote network listener does for your connection, yet locally. 

Bequeath is used for local connections where an Oracle client application, such as SQL*Plus, communicates with an Oracle server running on the same machine 

Tell me if I'm wrong but here's my take on it: When I connect from my pc, there's a process on my PC and there's a corresponding process on the database, say on a Unix server. Though the connection was initiated remotely, the process itself on the db server is still a local process that exists to communicate with the database. 

Am I wrong? If so let me know.

3.0.1.1., 2 iAs 9i, 1 used to have 5 7.3.4.4. instances on it, one has 3

with 1-3 instances on them).

This is my perception at this point.

think WindowsNT/2000 is easy too.  Heck they know little about computers and
they can run MS Office and Outlook no problem, imagine what the techies
downstairs could do with the server OS from Microsoft!  Most managers don't
use computers - they need the latest laptops etc. for office status
purposes, but they don't use them for much more than running MS Office and
Outlook.  They read ComputerWorld and they see PC Magazine and PC World in
the pharmacies, that's about it.  They also notice that none of the UNIX
vendors ever advertise on TV (what's up with that?).  The people who decide
where to spend the money are not the people who have to work with the
systems.  In a good shop they would consult the people below, but often they
end up deciding first and arguing (or delaying purchase indefinitely) if the
techies down below question their decision).

Do they take into account replacing all their servers to keep NT/2000
running?  I imagine their existing machines can't run NT or Windows2000.

The point someone else made about training is a valid one, management may be
thinking that training is not required at all for NT because it's a Windows
OS and the techies can do anything, or that MCSEs are a dime a dozen now so
staff costs will be lower.  Problem is, they will need more staff to keep
the NT servers going than for an equivalent number of UNIX machines - once a
UNIX box runs, it runs reliably.

UNIX machines are not affected by the likes of NIMDA, BackOrifice and other
tools out there.  Most hackers don't have grudges against UNIX systems, but
they certainly do against Microsoft. Have you updated your virus files
lately?  If using McAfee, is your engine up to date?  Have you checked your
Event Viewer security log?  Has auditing even been enabled on your system?
You realize that auditing is shut off by default on NT.  (also not taught in
the NT4 MCSE classes).  Anyone with a copy of a server's ERD can crack the
passwords of all the user accounts that server has seen since the OS was
installed.  If someone gets the ERD from your BDC or PDC, you are royally
screwed.  How many ERDs are lying around in your computer room?  Do
contractors / term / casual employees ever go in there, and do any of them
have any reason to be unhappy with the way your company is treating them?
If one ERD is missing, how long will it take for anyone to notice?  The
attitude that NT is just Windows doesn't help security at all, the OS has
to be taken seriously.  If your machines have to be secure, get ready to
spend time doing it.  More time than if it was a UNIX host.

Web servers should use something other than IIS, IIS is popular because...
it's freeware.  The Gardner Group earlier this year advised people not to
use IIS, because it is not secure.  iAS went with Apache on Windows, which
is a bit of an oxymoron, Apache should be running on UNIX.  iAS made the
right decision, but it illustrates that the OS ends up running a UNIX web
server ported to NT.  Like it is used to run a UNIX-based database (Oracle)
on NT.  Why not just use UNIX?

To do remote admin, they will have to purchase a 3rd party tool like PC Duo
if they are using NT.  NT assumes an administrator would be at the server.
You can't telnet to NT systems because NT behaves like a home operating
system, it assumes you are sitting at the machine (may be possible with
Windows2000, not sure).  You can purchase 3rd party telnet software, but you
won't have access to the desktop.

Scripting on NT is not as user-friendly as it is in UNIX.  Retrieve from
archives those old DOS scripting books.  NT and Windows2000 offer more
commands, but at the core the scripting is still the same.  The AT command
used to run scripts on schedule in NT 4.0 is 99.9% reliable, but not 100%
reliable.  I ended up having to install a 3rd party utility called crontab
for Windows to keep my backup scripts running reliably.

The time clock keeps slipping back, esp. if your CPU is busy.  So you will
have to hook up the machine to a time server somewhere.

Every time there is a new version, you have to purchase it and upgrade the

RE: Oracle8i on WinNT - renaming disc drives

2001-11-28 Thread Robertson Lee - lerobe

Ron,

When you say log files in the init.ora I assume you mean archive log files.
(Mr. P. Dantic)

Anyway, getting back to the task at hand, a far easier way to do it is to
issue a backup controlfile to trace. Change the location of the files in the
trace file you have generated, shutdown the DB, move the files to the new
locations you have specified in the trace file. Run the trace file you have
edited and open your DB.

This is a very simplistic explanation of the process but it is foolproof, it
is widely documented on the web and in my experience works everytime, I have
had to do this many times without any issues.

BACK IT UP FIRST, do the process and BACK IT UP AGAIN !

Sonja,
 It is a complicated process to rename disk drives in the Oracle
environment. Depending in the drives that Oracle uses and  what are
changes(renamed) could really cause you frustration.
The initxxx.ora lists the current location of the controlfiles, logfiles,
dump dirs, trace dirs, etc.
You will have to startup the database (if it can find the controlfile) and
alter database rename .. to .. for each of the effected datafiles. It can
be a long and detailed process. These are just a few thoughts off the top of
my head.
Make notes and document everything to CYA.
Good Luck

RE: Oracle/UNIX vs. Oracle/NT

2001-11-28 Thread Boivin, Patrice J

I forgot to mention, two years ago I tried to use the NT Performance Monitor
to track usage of five Oracle 7.3.4.4. databases on one NT server, and
learned that Performance Monitor only lets you monitor one database at once.

I don't know if this is still the case with 8i and Win2K, but it tells me
that NT wasn't written to track multiple copies of the same program, it was
designed to run one copy of each program.

RE: Connection question?

2001-11-28 Thread Lowes, Harry (NESL-IT)

Afternoon Lisa,
 
I thought that BEQ and (for example) IPC protocols both used the listener to
spawn a server-side process. The difference is in the protocol used in the
communication between the remote and local processes. IPC uses Unix Domain
Sockets to communicate between the client-side and server-side processes,
where BEQ uses Unix pipes. I had assumed that this was why BEQ connections
had to be local. This is the view expounded in Note: 1014940.6. If I've got
it wrong, it'd be nice to know. Any comments, Gurus?

Hi Deepak 

Here's what the doco says 

The Bequeath protocol glossary.htm enables clients that exist on the same
machine as the server to retrieve information from the database without
using the listener. The Bequeath protocol internally spawns a dedicated
server process for each client applications. In a sense, it does the same
operation that a remote network listener does for your connection, yet
locally. 

Bequeath is used for local connections where an Oracle client application,
such as SQL*Plus, communicates with an Oracle server running on the same
machine 

Tell me if I'm wrong but here's my take on it:  When I connect from my pc,
there's a process on my PC and there's a corresponding process on the
database, say on a Unix server.  Though the connection was initiated
remotely, the process itself on the db server is still a local process that
exists to communicate with the database.  

Am I wrong?  If so let me know.

RE: Oracle8i on WinNT - renaming disc drives

If by "rename disk drives" means changing the drive letter where Oracle is 
installed. You may have to re-install Oracle since the regisry will now 
have the wrong values.

Ron,When you say log files in the init.ora I assume you 
mean archive log files.(Mr. P. Dantic)Anyway, getting back to the 
task at hand, a far easier way to do it is toissue a backup controlfile to 
trace. Change the location of the files in thetrace file you have generated, 
shutdown the DB, move the files to the newlocations you have specified in 
the trace file. Run the trace file you haveedited and open your 
DB.This is a very simplistic explanation of the process but it is 
foolproof, itis widely documented on the web and in my experience works 
everytime, I havehad to do this many times without any issues.BACK 
IT UP FIRST, do the process and BACK IT UP AGAIN

Assuming this is Unix of some kind:

Are the binaries (svrmgrl/sqlplus) in your path ($ORACLE_HOME/bin) and
environmental variables set (ie. $ORACLE_HOME)?

Is the telnetd daemon running to receive telnet requests (ps -ef | grep
telnetd)?

Problems connecting with telnet and using svrmgrl or sqlplus from the
console are unrelated (separate issues).

RE: Script to Disable Constraint, Change Value, then Enable Const

2001-11-28 Thread David Wagoner









I can see the confusion here. The point is not to let someone enter
data

that would violate the referential integrity. Let me explain with an

example:



1.
User wants to
update a primary key record in parent table

2.
Dependent data
exists in a child table so the user gets an error while trying to perform step
1

3.
It is necessary
to disable the FK constraint in order to update both tables

4.
Enable the FK
constraint successfully





Does that make sense? This is a process we have to do routinely and it has

happened in the past that the FK was mistakenly not
re-enabled, which

allowed illegal data to be loaded later. Thus the need for a script.

How could this be user
proof? You are essentially disabling the constraint that WILL enforce data
integrity, then letting the user input whatever rubbish he wants to, and are
then going to try and enable the constraint afterwards?



Not a good approach.. How
can you ensure that the user hasn't put a duplicate value in (unique
constraint) or something else that might break the constraint rule? The only
way you are going to know is when you try and re-enable the constraint it will
fail.. 



I struggle to see why you
would want to do this - do you have any more info?

Oracle of any issues related to this article.

Problem Description
---
 
You have created a SQL script and saved it to a directory on your
PC hard drive (for example c:\script).  You are able to execute this
script in SQL*Plus by entering the following command:
 
SQL@C:\script\myscript.sql
 
However, when you try to open the script file in the SQL*Plus session, 
via Top Menu Bar -- File -- Open -- you receive an error:
 
SP2-0310: unable to open file c:\script\myscript.sql
 

Solution Description

 
This error can be eliminated by doing one of the following 
workarounds:
 
1.  Within the SQL*Plus window, enter the following command:
 
SQL set editfile C:\script (directory where scripts are saved)
 
NOTE: This will allow you to open the myscript.sql file without encountering
any errors, but the setting will only be retained for the current session.
If
you would like to make this a permanent change, add the above command to the
login.sql file on your PC.
 
2.  Update the Windows Registry to add, or edit, the SQLPATH variable:
 
On Windows PC, go to Start -- Run -- Regedit -- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --  
Software --- Oracle --- desired Home (could be HOME0, HOME1, etc.) and 
add/modify new string value for SQLPATH.  Once the string is added, you can
edit it to specify the directory where your SQL scripts are stored.
You can have multiple directories, but each directory must be separated by
a semicolon (;).
 
Explanation
---
 
The SP2-0310 is an abnormal error condition.  In a default Windows
installation,
this error should not occur when trying to open a file in the manner
described.
By setting the editfile or SQLPATH, the errors is resolved.
 
The SQLPATH variable is used as the search path when SQL*Plus executes
scripts. 
By default, SQL*Plus, will first search in the Oracle_Home\bin directory 
and then any directories specified in the SQLPATH variable.

RE: Unable to run catalog.sql

2001-11-28 Thread Mark Leith

Another idea would be to set the SQLPATH variable in your registry (remember
if you do this to TAKE A BACKUP OF THE REGISTRY FIRST).

First of all map the network drive (it looks like you already have anyway)
so that it is assigned a drive letter (D:\ in your case), as you don't
really want to use the absolute path..

Open regedit or regedt32, and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Oracle/ORACLE_HOME

and then either modify (if it is already there) or create a SQLPATH string,
with a value of:

D:\Oracle\Ora81\RDBMS\ADMIN\catalog.sql

Maybe this will work?

Oracle 8.1.7 on WinNT.
Our Windows guys want to rename disc drives for some administration reasons.

I'm really in UNIX so I'm wondering could you give me some advices on this
matter.
As far as I know, I have to recreate control files, with new drives. Is
there anything else I should do? Some Windows stuff?

TIA,
   Sonja

Hi Harry, 


I admit ignorance. Networking was never my strong point. IN fact sometimes I wonder if I still have one. 


Thanks for your response.

Afternoon Lisa,

I thought that BEQ and (for example) IPC protocols both used the listener to
spawn a server-side process. The difference is in the protocol used in the
communication between the remote and local processes. IPC uses Unix Domain
Sockets to communicate between the client-side and server-side processes,
where BEQ uses Unix pipes. I had assumed that this was why BEQ connections
had to be local. This is the view expounded in Note: 1014940.6. If I've got
it wrong, it'd be nice to know. Any comments, Gurus?

Hi Deepak 


Here's what the doco says 


The Bequeath protocol glossary.htm enables clients that exist on the same
machine as the server to retrieve information from the database without
using the listener. The Bequeath protocol internally spawns a dedicated
server process for each client applications. In a sense, it does the same
operation that a remote network listener does for your connection, yet
locally. 


Bequeath is used for local connections where an Oracle client application,
such as SQL*Plus, communicates with an Oracle server running on the same
machine 


Tell me if I'm wrong but here's my take on it: When I connect from my pc,
there's a process on my PC and there's a corresponding process on the
database, say on a Unix server. Though the connection was initiated
remotely, the process itself on the db server is still a local process that
exists to communicate with the database. 


Am I wrong? If so let me know.

 Thats what i was temted to reply as well {lol} .. but 
if you look closely .. both her conn are bequeth .. i 
was under the impression that bequeth was used only 
for local and not remote .. thats why we chose beq 
over tcp for db's that resided in same box for 
performance reasons .. or so i thought until now ;)

Re: Oracle8i on WinNT - renaming disc drives

2001-11-28 Thread tday6

If they're just renaming the disks where the datafiles reside, then the
backup controlfile is the way to go.

However, if they're renaming the disk where the Oracle Home resides, then
you need to go edit the registry.  Be sure and make a backup of the
registry before you start the edit.

Unasked, of course, is the question of why they would need to rename the
disks?  Changing network drive numbers is reasonably common but since
Oracle8i on WinNT doesn't support network mounted drives this couldn't have
any impact on the database.  Changing the internal drive letters either
involves spoofing the CMOS or the OS so that it thinks that drives are
mounted in a different order or actually changing the controller
connections.  Maybe there's some reason to do this but I can't think of it.

Ron,
You're making this way too dificult.
To reorg the drive names on NT/2000:
1.  Backup your database (just a good thing to do)
2.  ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE;  -  Generates a
script with all the datafiles listed in it.
3.  Edit initsid.ora and any ifile linked configs that point to
drive paths.  (Backup originals first).
4.  Edit the controlfile script generated in #2 to show the new
paths.
5.  Shutdown the database
6.  Rename the devices at the NT/2000 level
7.  in svrmgrl or sqlplus (8i or 9i) run the script from #4.
8.  Recover database if necessary.  May need to do a recover until
cancel and cancel it as soon as it asks for archived logs.

We recreate instances doing this all the time to create dev and test
systems.  By recreating the controlfile you can rename all the dbfiles
at once.  If you can't take the system off line, it will be very tedious
as Ron mentioned.  Also if you want to change the location of SYSTEM
tablespace, you have to take the system off line.

Sonja,
 It is a complicated process to rename disk drives in the Oracle
environment. Depending in the drives that Oracle uses and  what are
changes(renamed) could really cause you frustration.
The initxxx.ora lists the current location of the controlfiles,
logfiles, dump dirs, trace dirs, etc.
You will have to startup the database (if it can find the controlfile)
and alter database rename .. to .. for each of the effected datafiles. It
can be a long and detailed process. These are just a few thoughts off the
top of my head.
Make notes and document everything to CYA.

  I can see the

  to let someone enter data
  that would 
  violate the referential integrity. 
  Let me explain with an
  example:
  
  1. 
  User wants to 
  update a primary key record in parent table
  2. 
  Dependent 
  data exists in a child table so the user gets an error while trying to perform 
  step 1
  3. 
  It is 
  necessary to disable the FK constraint in order to update both 
  tables
  4. 
  Enable the FK 
  constraint successfully
  
  
  Does that 
  make sense? This is a process we 
  have to do routinely and it has
  happened in 
  the past that the FK was mistakenly not re-enabled, which
  allowed 
  "illegal" data to be loaded later. 
  Thus the need for a script.

My first question is are there any known issues with haveing very long SQL

it may depend on your SGA.

RE: Script to Disable Constraint, Change Value, then Enable Const

2001-11-28 Thread tday6

OK.  Here's what I do in that situation:

Here's the main driver

-- disable foreign keys on parent_table.column
alter table CHILD1 disable constraint FK1;
alter table CHILD2 disable constraint FK2;
--run the detail_update.sql for each pair of values, ie, the current value
and the
-- value that it will be set to
@ex_detail_update
-- re-enable foreign keys on parent_table.column
alter table CHILD1 enable constraint FK1;
alter table CHILD2 enable constraint FK2;

Here's the ex_detail_update.sql  - basically it will replace parameter 1
with parameter 2

@detail_update 1012 1013
@detail_update 1011 1012
@detail_update 1010 1011
@detail_update 1009 1010

Here's where the nitty gritty happens -- detail_update.sql

update table CHILD1 set FK_ID = 2 where FK_ID = 1;
update table CHILD2 set FK_ID = 2 where FK_ID = 1;
update table PARENT set PK_ID = 2 where PK_ID = 1;

COMMIT
/

When it's done it falls out to the next set of pairs.  When you run out of
pairs then the top level script will re-enable your constraints.

RE: Script to Disable Constraint, Change Value, then Enable Const

Subject: RE: Script to Disable 
Constraint, Change Value, then Enable Const


I can see 
the confusion here. The point 
is not to let someone enter data
that would 
violate the referential integrity. 
Let me explain with an
example:

1. 
User wants 
to update a primary key record in parent table
2. 
Dependent 
data exists in a child table so the user gets an error while trying to 
perform step 1
3. 
It is 
necessary to disable the FK constraint in order to update both 
tables
4. 
Enable the 
FK constraint successfully


Does that 
make sense? This is a process 
we have to do routinely and it has
happened in 
the past that the FK was mistakenly not re-enabled, which
allowed 
"illegal" data to be loaded later. 
Thus the need for a script.

RE: Script to Disable Constraint, Change Value, then Enable

How 
could this be user proof? You are essentially disabling the constraint that 
WILL enforce data integrity, then letting the user input whatever rubbish he 
wants to, and are then going to try and enable the constraint 
afterwards?

Not a 
good approach.. How can you ensure that the user hasn't put a duplicate 
value in (unique constraint) or something else that might break the 
constraint rule? The only way you are going to know is when you try and 
re-enable the constraint it will fail.. 

I 
struggle to see why you would want to do this - do you have any more 
info?

3.

A

think.

RE: enable the partitioning option in database?.

2001-11-28 Thread Molina, Gerardo

Assuming you have installed the Oracle Partitioning option, there may be an
extra step required to enable it, and that is to make sure you relink with
the correct option.  See the following excerpt taken from MetaLink:

To enable the Partitioning Option you must relink the rdbms executable. 

Ensure that the database is shut down and relink as follows: 

cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib

For 8.0.x: 

make -f ins_rdbms.mk part_off (to disable)

make -f ins_rdbms.mk part_on (to enable)

make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle 

For 8.1.x:

make -f ins_rdbms.mk part_off ioracle (to disable)

make -f ins_rdbms.mk part_on ioracle (to enable)

RE: Connection question?

Harry, you say that IPC and BEQ both use the listener to spawn a

that exist on the same machine as the server to retrieve information
from the database without using the listener.  

Which is correct?

  Afternoon Lisa,
   
  I thought that BEQ and (for example) IPC protocols both used the
 listener
  to
  spawn a server-side process. The difference is in the protocol used
 in the
  communication between the remote and local processes. IPC uses Unix
 Domain
  Sockets to communicate between the client-side and server-side

  where BEQ uses Unix pipes. I had assumed that this was why BEQ

RE: Longest SQL statements!!!

2001-11-28 Thread Toepke, Kevin M

Murali:

The only issue that I know of is in Oracle that the SQL statement must be
less than 64K. I've written 3-page SQL statements that returned in the
sub-0.1 second range. 

However, from a human standpoint, the longer the SQL is, the harder it is
for a new developer to pick up and tune/debug/tweak/etc. In general, I try
to keep my SQL to under 1/2 page. But I DO NOT sacrifice readability in
order to keep my SQL Under 1/2 page. Most of the time, when I'm asked to
tune or debug a SQL statement, my reformatted, revised SQL winds up being
longer than the original -- but much easier for a human to read --
reformatting it makes it easier for me to tune or correct.

Are there any implications on how long the SQL statement is? The current SQL

queries etc.

My first question is are there any known issues with haveing very long SQL 
statements and if yes what has been a good length other than the fact that 
it may depend on your SGA.

I am proposing to buy Compaq Servers, and 14 slots external units to fulfill
these requirements, but I have some questions to see if someone can help
me??

1) Will my application suffer a lot if I decide to buy 72Gigs hard drivers
or should I buy 36Gigs hard drives.  My problem is that for future grow, the
72 will allow me more data on my external 14 slots storage unit

2) Is someone using NAS Network Attached Storage Units?  How well do they
perform?  What about SAN Storage Attached Network units?

3) A company told me about this NAS that mirrors data changes over LAN or
WAN, they claim it is a great product and that in case of emergency
recovery, I will be able to recover in minutes??  Is it true??

Please Help.

Assuming you have installed the Oracle Partitioning option, there may be an
extra step required to enable it, and that is to make sure you relink with
the correct option.  See the following excerpt taken from MetaLink:

To enable the Partitioning Option you must relink the rdbms executable. 

Ensure that the database is shut down and relink as follows: 

cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib

For 8.0.x: 

make -f ins_rdbms.mk part_off (to disable)

make -f ins_rdbms.mk part_on (to enable)

make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle 

For 8.1.x:

make -f ins_rdbms.mk part_off ioracle (to disable)

make -f ins_rdbms.mk part_on ioracle (to enable)

for this you basically define them in the listener.ora

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =
yyy.zz.ea.com)(PORT = 1521))
)

LISTENER_REAL =
  (DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =
xxx.xx.ea.com)(PORT = 1522))
  )


SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
  (ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle/product/816)
  (SID_NAME = gamesdev)
)
  )


SID_LIST_LISTENER_REAL =
  (SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
  (ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle/product/816)
  (SID_NAME = realdb)
)
  )

1. Find the amt of shared mem you are using: ipcs -mb
2. see your os limit. for e.g. : sysdef |grep -i shm

also ensure that ur /etc/system parameters match with
the output from 2. If not, you need to bounce the unix
box for those values to tale effect. 

Check specifically for kernal parameters shmmax and

I can see the
confusion here. The point is not
to let someone enter data

that would
violate the referential integrity.
Let me explain with an

example:







1. User wants to update a primary key record in parent
table

2. Dependent data exists in a child table so the user
gets an error while trying to perform step 1

3. It is necessary to disable the FK constraint in order
to update both tables

4. Enable the FK constraint successfully









Does that make
sense? This is a process we have
to do routinely and it has

happened in the
past that the FK was mistakenly not re-enabled, which

allowed
illegal data to be loaded later. Thus the need for a script.

How could this be user proof? You are essentially disabling the
constraint that WILL enforce data integrity, then letting the user input
whatever rubbish he wants to, and are then going to try and enable the
constraint afterwards?



Not a good approach.. How can you ensure that the user hasn't put a
duplicate value in (unique constraint) or something else that might break the
constraint rule? The only way you are going to know is when you try and
re-enable the constraint it will fail.. 



I struggle to see why you would want to do this - do you have any
more info?

Listers,



Does anyone have a script
that will do the following:







1.
Accept user input for old data value 

2.
Accept user input for new data value 

3.
Disable table constraint 

4.
Update record with new data value 

5.
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.

Off topic Perlesque question

2001-11-28 Thread Ivan_Rivera
Title: Off topic Perlesque question





I know this is off topic but if I can get grab you perl guru's ear for second I'd greatly appreciate it. First I'd like to ask for a better place to post these types of questions. A perl list would be ideal but my boss has explicitly said I can join no more lists - my mail box is getting too big :(.

os (I know here's the fundamental problem) : Win2K
perl: ActiveState 5.6.1.630
Microsoft C++ Visual Studio 6.0


Ok now to the problem. I am having trouble using cpan to install certain modules/Bundles.
I have been able to use ppm to install most of the modules I need but there are still 7-10 that I believe need to be done through the cpan interface. The problem I am having with cpan is when it's ready to compile the code it never works because of make problems. 

I have tried to download nmake instead to see if that would work but to no avail. I am making the correct changes in the config.pm file where it says make='blah blah' but the command is always bombing out and thus if no make test it will not continue the real make. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? What else can I do?

I believe that the problem is in the syntax that cpan is using to compile things is not compatible with the windows version of make. The readme I used suggested to download nmake and use that but again the syntax seems different. 

In the cpan error I see it doing: make -f blah blah
but the windows make help command shows all arguments should be like '/A' and I havent seen an argument for force. Does anyone know of a make out there for windows that behaves as unix in terms of syntax? 

My ultimate goal is to get slashcode to run on this machine for a web site but have to do it on a windows machine. I am terribly lost and don't know what to do next or where to look. Any advice would help thanks. Sorry for being so lengthy and off topic I don't know where I can post this and still be able to get a reply. Wish I could join an additional list.

Is there any file I can edit so that every time cpan calls for 'make -f' I can substitute it with a syntax my nmake command will accept? Thank you very much. Ivan

Hi Gang,

Does anybody use Siebel - I believe it's a CRM package?

I'm trying to find out of the Siebel application enforces RI within the
database or the application? Anybody know?

Cheers

Need Help Please - With Procedures

2001-11-28 Thread Viraj Luthra

Hello all,

I have attached an sql file containing a set of sql's (6) of them, which gives me 
information regarding table fragmentation. What I need to do is instead of writing 
seperate sql's, I need to write a procedure, where in I pass the owner and table name 
and then the result comes out, as you will see in the last sql.

What I need is, if some one could please help in writing a procedure? How to put 
cursors and use all the information in different cursor variables etc.

Please help.

Thanks.

Rgds,

Raja
