RE: RE: Change PCTINCREAE for SYSTEM Tablespace
Title: RE: RE: Change PCTINCREAE for SYSTEM Tablespace Hi Tom, Can you review my views in changing pctincrease value: If i'm creating database manualy without dbassistant, The steps are, 1) CONNECT INTERNAL 2) CREATE DATABASE ( LOGFILES, A SINGLE DATAFILE FOR SYSTEM TABLESPACE AND other infos) 3) CREATING SYSTEM TABLESPACE 4) OTHER STEPS. GOING ON... Now why not i can change the PCTINCREASE at the step3?... In what way it'd affect the DB? And why we need to change sql.bsq instead? Hope that i didn't say anything incorrect. Let me know ur valuable reply... Nirmal., -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 03 ÔæÇá, 1422 04:50 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Re:RE: Change PCTINCREAE for SYSTEM Tablespace Tom, I agree and disagree with you, respectfully. Oracle does allow some changes to be made to sql.bsq and they always leave the option open to make changes after database creation and I don't see this request as all that odd. But for the most part if you do as recommended and leave the system tablespace to sys only you should not have a problem. That is until migration time!! Dick Goulet Reply Separator Author: "Mercadante; Thomas F" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 12/18/2001 5:30 AM Kimberly, I would agree with you if an experienced DBA makes the decision to change the storage parameters, and they absolutely know what the benfits would be. Generally speaking though, I think changing anything in the SYSTEM tablespace is bad practice. Tom Mercadante Oracle Certified Professional -Original Message- Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 8:45 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Actually, I would not ignore the storage parameters of the SYSTEM tablespace. There are legit reasons to change the pctincrease to 0. If you leave it at 50 then SMON (or PMON can't remember at the moment) will try to coalesce the tablespace every time it wakes up. Its work it has to do that it really does not need to do. Better off scheduling to happen at your time schedule. -Original Message- Thomas F Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 7:45 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Ken, Do yourself a favor. Ignore the SYSTEM tablespace storage params. The ONLY thing you should concern yourself in regard with the SYSTEM tablespace is if the file needs to extend itself because it is too full. All other storage parameters are created by Oracle at database create time and should not be changed. For other tablespaces, you can change this parameter anytime after the tablespace has been created. It will not, however, change existing extents, but will be used when new extents are allocated. Hope this helps. Tom Mercadante Oracle Certified Professional -Original Message- Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 10:16 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Is there any way that I can change the PCTINCREASE for the SYSTEM tablespace without recreating the DB? For some reason the person who created the DB I am working on set PCTINCREASE to 50 (or didn't did not include this parameter). I am using this DB for a data conversion so there is no software connected to it and in turn no users on it.

Re:database administration questions
With your current background, your more likely to land a job as a network administrator LONG before you'll end up in a database position. Access is still looked on as a single user system and frankly I haven't run into any large scale applications that use it, period. One of my current tasks is working with a forecasting package that states in the manual that Access should only be used for the demos. Any other application of the package should use Oracle or DB2. Also a SPC (Statistical Process Control, for those who don't know, don't ask further) package we're evaluating (actually two of them) won't work with Access even for the demos. Therefore, I'd suggest staying with the networking world. It will be around as long as database administration, if not longer. Your already trained and certified, and getting a Cisco certification is no small feat. If you really want to move into database admin, your probably looking at 2 to 3 years of learning and smaller paychecks as you pay your dues. BTW: A database restore usually takes a lot longer than fixing a network outage, to boot. Dick Goulet Reply Separator Author: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 12/23/2001 11:15 PM Hi! I'm looking into getting into the field of Database Administrating. Right now, I have experience with MS Access and have created several databases for companies that I have worked with in the past with Access. I'm looking for a jump in my career and the next logical step for me, I would think, would be in database field. However, I also have some networking knowledge (Cisco certified...). So, I'm looking into the advantages of both fields. I have some questions & I'm not sure who to ask or where to get my answers.

Where would you recommend I look for classes in the Los Angeles area? 5) What language, if any, are important (Java, XML, Visual Basic, etc.)? 6) What programs are starting to get obsolete? 7) Is it worth it to get vendor certifications (Microsoft, Oracle)? If so, are there certain books that you recommend to study? 8) Is it worth it to get a degree? If so, what specific one? 9) Are there any other programs or technologies that are valuable to learn? 10) Are there any associations or other groups that you belong to as a DBA? 11) What kinds of companies hire DBAs? 12) What companies do you recommed to work for?

Re: Oracle Client Installation.
You can create a Universal Installer response file which will automate the client
installation. You can mount the CD on a network device, or just copy it to a disk on
a server so that you don't have to walk the CD to each PC.
e.g. setup.exe -responsefile "l:\apps\oracle\816\User_Cdrive.rsp"
Search around on the CD for the sample files. The active lines in our response file
are:

Re: online backup help
Have a look at rman. It allows online backups of databases if they are in archivelog mode.

RE: database administration questions
If you work on a site like I do you could always cross train. I am always looking for suckers (um, people) to be my backup. Right now I use one from the Unix team and one from the development team. Its the only way I get to take vacations and what no. Check with your current DBA and see if they are willing to train you while you are off doing your 'real' job. Of course, there are some folks who are worried about job security (or are just assholes) and they would not give you the time of day. You don't want to learn from those folks anyway. The excuse, "I'm too busy" is not really valid either. Training someone allowed me to offload some of my work. -Original Message- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 26, 2001 5:30 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L With your current background, your more likely to land a job as a network administrator LONG before you'll end up in a database position. Access is still looked on as a single user system and frankly I haven't run into any large scale applications that use it, period. One of my current tasks is working with a forecasting package that states in the manual that Access should only be used for the demos. Any other application of the package should use Oracle or DB2. Also a SPC (Statistical Process Control, for those who don't know, don't ask further) package we're evaluating (actually two of them) won't work with Access even for the demos. Therefore, I'd suggest staying with the networking world. It will be around as long as database administration, if not longer. Your already trained and certified, and getting a Cisco certification is no small feat. If you really want to move into database admin, your probably looking at 2 to 3 years of learning and smaller paychecks as you pay your dues.

Re: What's Oracle Trying to Hide ???
I suspect that they are trying to prevent headaches by hiding 'features' that are intended for internal use only. Sometimes a "DBA" will get hold of some undocumented feature and use it just because it's there, sometimes causing database problems in the process. This type of behavior is common in the PC world.

RE: What's Oracle Trying to Hide ???
I generally share your "speculation" but in the case of dbms_system it is referenced by other sources yet it is undocumented. If you can do a describe on it from SQL*Plus then it should be documented. So dbms_system is undocumented and incomplete but available for our use?? In dbms_system there's a procedure called "set_ev" with 5 parameters. I'm thinking this is to set events like 10046 and that the "si" parm is for SID, the "se" parm is for serial#, the "ev" parm is the event number, the "le" parm is the level.

RE: What's Oracle Trying to Hide ???
Title: RE: What's Oracle Trying to Hide ??? because the list is so slow today, I'll add my response to it... I agree with Jared... but have one other thing to mention. Working for a company that continually delves into the internal structures and workings of Oracle I learned to respect how it works, and what it does. Internally oracle does some pretty strange things with it's transactions (when you apply DDL, what happens to the underlying $ and # tables), and especially on how it stores different objects in the database (like Nested tables and IOT's.) Understanding these new objects and they way that they work within oracle... is very strange... and I'm not sure if it is all implemented with performance/ease of use in mind. Now don't get me wrong... I love Oracle... but if we ALL really knew how things worked internally... I think people would not be so ready to use the new functionality. I think one of the reasons they 'hide' and wrap these procedures is so we don't know how it works, and makes it more 'magical.' And yes... undoc'd procedures are useful... and fun too!

RE: What's Oracle Trying to Hide ???
Steve, "nm" parameter is used as event name. i.e what to do if that triggering event occurs. You can set either SYSTEMSTATE or PROCESSSTATE or ERRORSTACK to dump those things. Consider a case , you want to dump the errorstack when ORA-00060 (deadlock) occurs. Here you use SID,SERIAL#,60,65535,ERRORSTACK. Triggering event 65535 is IMMEDIATE . Hope this helps.

RE: database administration questions
I quite agree with Kimberly. I used to be a full-fledge Oracle programmer but wanted to dabble with database administration. I asked my boss whether I could be a database administrator. His answer is yes but I still need to maintain my current systems. Now, I am a database administrator-cum-programmer.

Access is still looked on as a single user system and frankly I haven't run into any large scale applications that use it, period. One of my current tasks is working with a forecasting package that states in the manual that Access should only be used for the demos. Any other application of the package should use Oracle or DB2. Also a SPC (Statistical Process Control, for those who don't know, don't ask further) package we're evaluating (actually two of them) won't work with Access even for the demos. Therefore, I'd suggest staying with the networking world. It will be around as long as database administration, if not longer. Your already trained and certified, and getting a Cisco certification is no small feat. If you really want to move into database admin, your probably looking at 2 to 3 years of learning and smaller paychecks as you pay your dues.

I'm looking into getting into the field of Database Administrating. Right now, I have experience with MS Access and have created several databases for companies that I have worked with in the past with Access. I'm looking for a jump in my career and the next logical step for me, I would think, would be in database field. However, I also have some networking knowledge (Cisco certified...). So, I'm looking into the advantages of both fields. I have some questions & I'm not sure who to ask or where to get my answers. But, here they go: Questions for a Database Administrator: 1) What is your typical workday like? 2) Do you work a lot of overtime? 3) What are the most valuable databse programs to learn? 4) If I was to look into learning these, should I take classes? Where would you recommend I look for classes in the Los Angeles area? 5) What language, if any, are important (Java, XML, Visual Basic, etc.)? 6) What programs are starting to get obsolete? 7) Is it worth it to get vendor certifications (Microsoft, Oracle)? If so, are there certain books that you recommend to study?
RE: XP vs. W2000
As we are treading towards OT land, I've got a Dell PIII 750 with 512MB on my desktop running WIN2K Pro. I just bought a laptop, Compaq Presario PIII 1.0 Gig Chip with 512MB running XP Pro. I run 8i and 9i on both machines. The laptop is definitely snappier when running OEM 9i. With comparably configured laptops and desktops, you would expect the desktop to be much faster. So, even though my laptop has a 1 Ghz chip vs the 750 Mhz chip on my desktop, I expected the laptop to be slower. And it is when running disk intensive operations -- 4500 RPM on the laptop vs 7200 RPM and a caching controller on the desktop. But otherwise, the laptop with XP seems to be a tad faster, and maybe it's strictly due to the faster processor. It would be interesting to run some benchmarks against the same machine running XP vs. WIN2K -- I'm sure PC Magazine or some other group has already done this. And I haven't been on the Internet with the laptop since the XP security issues came to light. Something I need to address on the laptop. Regards, Larry G.

weird pga swelling
I'm experiencing a weird issue I've never encountered before. One of my clients runs a moderately active database being connected to by a group of webservers running mod_perl, making a 'standard' set of queries to generate dynamic content. 'standard' in this sense means that the queries are unchanged for many months, none of them are particularly expensive. Randomly (once/twice week) I'm having shadow processes (LOCAL=NO sessions) whose PGA is welling to huge sizes. I am measuring this with pmem. I see things like: 3606: oracleFLPDT (LOCAL=NO) Address Kbytes Resident Shared Private Permissions Mapped File 0001 24776 19960 19960 - read/exec oracle 0185 240 240 208 32 read/write/exec oracle 0188C000 1083848 946408 - 946408 read/write/exec[ heap ] 8000 1143448 1143448 1143448 - read/write/exec/shared [shmid=0x2db5] That's 1G of private heap usage by that one process. These sessions are not stuck running any particular sql, I have caught them executing any and all of the standard application code and they don't seem to be spinning on any particular query. Any thoughts?

RE: XP vs. W2000
Title: RE: XP vs. W2000 So, Jared, I have heard of VmWare which is not as far as I know Open Source(Free). I don't know of Win4Lin, is it Open Source? and won't you email me a link to the site. Regards Denham -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 26, 2001 7:45 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Re: XP vs. W2000 Forget it. Get Suse 7.2 or 7.3, or the latest version of RedHat. If you want to run Windoze too, get VmWare or Win4Lin. Win4Lin works with win95/98. Vmware is more flexible and will work with Win2k. I've found Win98 with Win4Lin to be more stable than Win98 by itself.
