Re: Data Subset Tool?
Hi Jared Disclaimer: I work for Net 2000 Ltd. the authors of DataBee - a database subsetting tool. > Disk is cheaper. :) It only seems so because manually creating subsets is such a nightmare - but if you have large databases it just isn't practical to give every developer, tester and trainer a full size copy of production. So what do you do? Well if your like most DBA's you create far fewer copies of the big database than is really needed and everybody has to share it. Then the trouble starts: the developers the collide with one another, the testers trash each others data and everybody squabbles because they have to wait for a time slot. Truth be known - developers, testers and trainers don't like to work on full size copys (it slows them down) and they don't like to share. As you say, manual subsets are not cost effective because of the DBA effort involved in making them. If you have an automated tool that just snips out subsets like a cookie cutter then you can have as many as you care to. Cheers Dale Edgar Net 2000 Ltd.

Hi Larry Disclaimer: I work for Net 2000 Ltd. the authors of DataBee. >...but does anyone have >recommendations on a tool that will create a subset of production data that >is referentially intact? I am aware of DataBee... I don't mind telling you who the competition is - we are confident that we are better value both in price and functionality:-) Two other subsetting tools on the market are DataManager from Quest http://quest.com/schema_manager/ and CheckMate from BitByBit http://www.bitbybit.co.uk >, but it might be more cost effective to buy > something if the price is right. The main feature I would be interested in > is a tool that maintained the distribution characteristics of the data. DataBee is designed specifically to cope with this requirement. You can set up the rules (called an Extraction Set) based on multiple drivers. You could, for example, sample 10% of a table (even on ora7.x) and then put on other rules which pick up specific date ranges. You can also use multiple tables: ie get 5% of all invoices from the INVOICE table and 25 specific customers from the CUSTOMER table. DataBee would cheerfully get all of the customers to support the invoices and all of the invoices to support the customers. Basically the rows are adjusted until every table has the data required required to support all of the rest and the subset is in balance. > I know it can be built by hand They can but it is (as I'm sure you know) a lot of hassle - and it can be a nightmare to get the FK constraints to re-enable if you have a lot of them. An automated tool really is cost-effective. One of our customers used to take a week and 45 skilled DBA hours to cut a subset database - even then only about 200 of the 500 constraints would enable. DataBee cuts the subset in 4 hours (its a push button operation once the Extraction Set is setup) and all 500 constraints enable. DataBee: http://www.databee.com Cheers Dale Edgar Net 2000 Ltd.

RE: HP vs SUN for a UNIX box
I work on both and like both. However, I would much rather work on HP. Number one, its the one I know best so I am biased in that way.

RE: Standby Instance questions and HA
It does reduce your maintenance windows though when you are upgrading. Really nice when you are a 24x7 shop. I do not have to have a database down when upgrading the software. I will actually run catalog and catproc with the database open for business and have not had an issue yet. So I do one side of the node, fail the databases over, run the upgrade script, and do the other side after that has successfully been completed. On my N-classes it really does not take long. -Original Message- Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 9:21 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Nah, I make sure all servers have the same uid/gid for oracle but I have naming standards for the lv's and filesystems. This allows me to failover multiple primary servers to a single secondary. I was just curious, b/c I have seen other sites that use your method. I prefer not having to synch multiple OH's.

TRANSLATE function. So you can use an SQL statement like:
update
set fld1 = translate(fld1,chr(09),'-');
Make sure you only have one weird character in the field though. I
actually and a carriage return and a new line back to back and, of course,
you can't see them. You might want to use the DUMP function to look at
what is really in the field. Good luck!

Hi,
Sometime in the past, data was loaded into tables from spreadsheets and
the tabs and form feeds were included in the data. I can locate all the
bad data, and am looking for a clear method to remove only the 'bad'
character from a field, despite where it occurs. For example, you can see
09 at the end of the rawtohex column. I need to change
Canada-Albertachr(9) to 'Canada-Alberta'. The form feeds in the second
example are in a numeric field.
If anyone has had to do this, I'd appreciate knowing your method.
Thanks, Linda

Data Subset Tool?
Listers, I know this subject has been brought up before, and I will go through the archives as well as pull out the Google Gun, but does anyone have recommendations on a tool that will create a subset of production data that is referentially intact? I am aware of DataBee (which Mark mentioned the other day), and I'm sure I will turn up some others. I know it can be built by hand, but it might be more cost effective to buy something if the price is right. The main feature I would be interested in is a tool that maintained the distribution characteristics of the data. For example, assume production has 20 years worth of data. For a query specifying various criteria, criteria against a date range of a month would be very selective (assuming even distribution). Now, if you throw only 2 years in the development environment, a different plan using criteria other than a month date range, maybe even a different driving table, might be better. So you now have a case where one plan is better in DEV and a different plan is better in PROD. An age old problem I'm sure lots of us have dealt with. Regards, Larry G.

So I was just checking out the ixora script to look at values for hidden
parameters. And I discovered that _system_trig_enabled is FALSE on all my
databases!
If this is the default then why is it so important to specifically set it to
false during 8.1.7 upgrades? This value was FALSE not only for databases
I'd upgraded to 8.1.7 and therefore set specifically to false in the
init.ora at some point but also in my old 8.1.6 databases and some initial
installation 8.1.7 databases that were never upgraded.
I'm very nervous just now.

So I was just checking out the ixora script to look at values for hidden
parameters. And I discovered that _system_trig_enabled is FALSE on all my
databases!
If this is the default then why is it so important to specifically set it to
false during 8.1.7 upgrades? This value was FALSE not only for databases
I'd upgraded to 8.1.7 and therefore set specifically to false in the
init.ora at some point but also in my old 8.1.6 databases and some initial
installation 8.1.7 databases that were never upgraded.
I'm very nervous just now.

RE: Unexplained table growth
Hmmm...the AVG_ROW_LEN is the same for both: 72. The part that sticks out is the production table has a NUM_FREELIST_BLOCKS of 28569, while test is at 5. Any ideas as to how this could be??? Almost like the TRUNCATE didn't clear out the freelist??? Or am I missing/misinterpreting something here?

The 'comment' field, which can be close enough to 60%, may be NULL in your test database and full in most cases in prod. Something else one could think of is a PCTFREE difference.

One advantage is HP's use of LVM (simpler to handle than most) and the ability to add devices on the fly (via ioscan and insf). It has enough foibles to drive anyone batty, but so does everything else so that's probably par :-) The main drawback to HP-UX is that compiling thing on it tends to be a bit of a pain. HP's lib's are a bit flakier than most and gcc doesn't handle them well. You can always use HP's compiler but it ain't cheap (neither is Sun's but gcc handles Solaris & its lib's better). You also have more control over the file system. Combining larger file system pages w/ appropraite striping can give you a nice boost in performance w/ RAID sytsems. -- Steven Lembark 2930 W.

Seema, with alter table deallocate, you can reclaim only the space above the high water mark in a segment.

Re: SPACE FREE HOW?
Hi Seema, In a word NO. From the documentation: Use the deallocate_unused_clause to explicitly deallocate unused space at the end of the table, partition or subpartition, overflow data segment, LOB data segment, or LOB index and makes the space available for other segments in the tablespace. Yo can free only unused space above the high water mark (that is, the point beyound which database blocks have not yet been formatted to receive data). Another lister provided you with the best solution i know of: 1. copy data to a holding table create table holding_table nologging as select * from my_table_that_is_too_big; 2. truncate the table truncate table my_table_that_is_too_big; 3. copy the data over insert into my_table_that_is_too_big select * from holding_table; 4. drop the holding table drop table holding_table; John [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Can I use following command to recover the space. alter table deallocate unused; I don't want to truncate and import.

Re:RE: HP vs SUN for a UNIX box
Sergey, I asked my SA to add his 2 cents, guess he's not inclined. Anyway, I've been on HP for the last 10 years, coming from VMS, & I love it. VERY stable, easy to use, although I don't do the admin any longer it was easy with SAM even when it was a character based tool. Rman/OmniBack integration is well documented in the OmniBack manuals & works as advertised. HP support is pretty darn good as well, especially in the middle of the night when the system won't boot. I've had HP support tech's remotely logged in to the system helping get it back online. Also if you have a problem that is not in the area of the tech you call they normally conference in the needed assistance. Problems can be resolved as fast as they occur. We also don't use disk arrays from HP, but then HP & EMC really like each other. If you want an inexpensive disk alternative look into NetAppliance.

If this is the default then why is it so important to specifically set it to
false during 8.1.7 upgrades? This value was FALSE not only for databases
I'd upgraded to 8.1.7 and therefore set specifically to false in the
init.ora at some point but also in my old 8.1.6 databases and some initial

I'm very nervous just now.

RE: HP vs SUN for a UNIX box
Sergey - One factor you may want to consider is the timeframe of your decision. If it is just a decision for your Lawson box, then that isn't so critical. It is pretty easy to move Lawson from one system to another. Last fall we were looking at making a decision for all our systems. We are on Compaq Tru64, and that doesn't have a long future ahead of it. The META Group advice was that only three operating systems can be considered to have a stable future: 1. MS W2K 2. Linux 3. Solaris Most of the other Unix vendors are facing the next generation of computer chip architecture. I don't believe that HP is investing in the next generation itself, but will be switching to the new Intel 64-bit chips. Based on that advice, we chose Solaris because W2K and Linux are not up to the same standards as Solaris today. To repeat, we are looking at a lot of programming beyond Lawson, so our decision was based on more than simply purchasing the next box. We will have our Lawson system on Tru64 for several more years.

Resource management
Hi Guys! Hope everyone had a good holiday. I'm back from 3 weeks off and feeling rested. Maybe a bit too rested. I got a question on whether Oracle has a concept of resource management... that is, if user X consumes too much CPU time, or the query runs too long, whether there is some way to enter limits into Oracle which will kill the query and, based on rules, resubmit it for a different time. I thought the answer was yes because it sounded so dang familiar... now I'm not sure if it was Oracle or Ingres or Sybase or SQL Server, or whether it was something that could be set from Financials. Your help, as always, is appreciated! Bambi.
Re: Lookup Table Usage
Auditing would be more reliable, it's static.

Re: Unexplained table growth
If I were you I'd try to analyze both tables (prod and test), posibly on a small sample, to check whether the average row length is identical. The 'comment' field, which can be close enough to 60%, may be NULL in your test database and full in most cases in prod. Something else one could think of is a PCTFREE difference. It may be higher on your prod database. There may also be differences in the per-tablespace minimum allocation values.

RE: HP vs SUN for a UNIX box
Using both HP 11.0 and Solaris 2.8, I have a preference for HP. Just little toolset things like SAM for a GUI SysAdmin, "top" and "GlancePlus", although GlancePlus, a system monitor, I guess I would consider a huge advantage over what Sun offers. As far as the hardware, I guess I don't have a huge preference either way. But if you do go with HP -- DO NOT GET AN AutoRAID! Biggest performance mistake we've made, IMO. Super slow writes.

RE: SPACE FREE HOW?
Title: RE: SPACE FREE HOW? Nick, I have a question regarding LiveReorg's method that prevents modifications to the original table when it's time to switch to the newly reorged one. AS the mechanism to prevent DML, LiveReorg creates a temporary trigger on Insert, Update and Delete. It simply raises a user-defined exception. With our 24x7 Siebel environment executing massive insert and updates against the base tables, we expect that the application will receive this error when we switch to the new table. The problem is that the application is not coded to handle the exception and the user will get an error displayed on the client. This is preventing us from utilizing the Live feature of LiveReorg and is becoming as sore spot with our internal clients. They expected uninterrupted maintenance and frankly, so did we. Please correct me if I'm wrong or if I'm not using the tool correctly.

Title: Need idea to strip tabs (chr(9) hex 9) and carriage return (chr(13) hex 0D) from fields Linda, I just did something like this yesterday. You will need to use the TRANSLATE function. So you can use an SQL statement like: update set fld1 = translate(fld1,chr(09),’-‘); Make sure you only have one weird character in the field though. I actually and a carriage return and a new line back to back and, of course, you can’t see them. You might want to use the DUMP function to look at what is really in the field. Good luck!

RE: SPACE FREE HOW?
If you have good stats on the table just take the following and compare. actual size of object vs. (#rows * average row size ) If actual size is much larger than #rows * average row size, you have a lot of unused space in the table, this however does not tell you the high water mark. There are some various methods to determine this but I can't recall offhand, DBMS_SPACE package I think. I have never really been interested in my HWM, just if I have a lot of empty space which the above would show you. More importantly is know that and how well space at the block level is being used (%FREE $USED). I think the suggestion about rebuilding the table online by moving it to another tablespace and then back again will be your best bet if you are 24/7 shop. Better check the docs on this but I am pretty sure you can do while the db is up, just pick a time with low activity. Sorry I can be more helpful, really in the weeds here today.

_system_trig_enabled=false - URGENT
So I was just checking out the ixora script to look at values for hidden
parameters. And I discovered that _system_trig_enabled is FALSE on all my
databases!
If this is the default then why is it so important to specifically set it to
false during 8.1.7 upgrades? This value was FALSE not only for databases
I'd upgraded to 8.1.7 and therefore set specifically to false in the
init.ora at some point but also in my old 8.1.6 databases and some initial
installation 8.1.7 databases that were never upgraded.
I'm very nervous just now.

LogMiner and ORA-03113
I'm trying to analyze some archive logs via LogMiner and I keep getting the error ORA-03113 (end of file on communications channel) when I query the V$LOGMNR_CONTENTS view. I did a "new" and "start" prior to running the query. This process that I am going through works on some log files but not on others. The log files aren't corrupted because I can restore/recover the database and apply the logs successfully for a roll-forward. I'm just running a 'select count(*)' query at this point.

RE: Unexplained table growth
Hi, Jesse, Didn't your dev use parallel insert on production to speedup things? This may cause different segment allocation HTH Vadim -Original Message- Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 12:41 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi all, 8.1.7.2.0 on HP/UX 11.0 -- A developer tested a table recreate in our test DB. Here's the scenario: CREATE TABLE MY_BIG_TABLE ( FISCAL_YEAR NUMBER (5), PERIODCHAR (2), ACCOUNTNO CHAR (12), TRANSTYPE CHAR (2), TRANSQTY FLOAT, TRANSAMNT FLOAT, COMMENT_TEXT CHAR (30), TRANSDATE DATE) TABLESPACE QT_APPS1 PCTFREE 10 PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 2 MAXTRANS 255 STORAGE ( INITIAL 209715200 NEXT 10485760 PCTINCREASE 0 MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS 249 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 ) NOCACHE; The table previously had a total of 14 extents, giving it a size of 330MB. The dev TRUNCATED the table (I don't know if "REUSE STORAGE" was used), and added 4,054,632 (4M) rows. The table is still at 14 extents and 330MB. So, all's well in test, the dev did the same in production. The row count was *slightly* higher, at 4.069,106, but the table size jumped 60% to 560MB. The DB_BLOCK_SIZE on both DBs is 8K. Of course, this filled up the TBS and caused havoc. I looked in DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL and DBA_TAB_MODIFICATIONS, but I can't find any significant difference between what was done to the table in test and prod. The table in production has NO deletes recorded in DBA_TAB_MODIFICATIONS, just inserts. Can anyone think of a scenario as to why this table would grow in prod but not test with relatively the same number of rows and the exact same table layout??? The only thing I can think of is that a "REUSE STORAGE" was issued on one TRUNCATE, but not another, but I still don't see how that could account for the table growth. I'm going thru LogMiner now, but as our test DB is in archivelog mode, I can only look in production (and it's taking forever!). TIA!

RE: multiple extents are OK, dagnabbit!
Paul, With LMT's. uniform extents sizes and properly place objects I think you avoid most of the situations you described. Cary's paper at hotsos.com shows that in a system with a lot of activity your disk head is never going to fulfill the request for a full tablescan in a single operation anyway because of all of the competing requests. Also it shows that the probability of in another request in fact being beneficial to your processes disk read goes up. 9 out of 10 DBA's agree, LMT's, uniform extents sizes and objects with < 1000 extents are just fine for most databases. These are always general rules and everyone's situation is different. Perhaps you want to keep everything under 100 extents for a DSS DB with few users, I would say that would be fine but to still stay with uniform LMT's as they are easier to manage. - Ethan -Original Message- Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 10:41 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hello, My 2 cents: It does make a difference to reorg, esp. when done thoughtfully, with a specific goal in mind. For example, if you have a order_log table that started with first extent 1MB and next extent 1MB, and this table has grown in size to say, 10 million rows (business is good), you would have hundreds of extents, and each of those new extents took some time to extend that would have been avoided if you had started with 100MB first and 25MB next. Indexes take a far worse performance hit. You also expose yourself to other issues (fragmentation, full table scans (yuck) run slower, table drops run slower, more extent overhead, recovery time runs slower, risk of failure increases).

Re: When should a table be partitioned?
Where the business use of the data is such that the applications' selects can be satisfied by querying a known number of partitions (less than all partitions). Also where data can be archived partition-wise. Generally this means time sensitive data. I don't see much benefit to partitioning data when the data for a single select will span all partitions. Of course, I could be wrong there.

We are working on the design for a new warehouse and need to decide which tables should be partitioned. For you folks that have partitioned tables, how do you decide which tables to be partition? Some tables with very large row counts are obvious candidates. If you go off of row counts solely, what is the cut-off point for where you should start partitioning? Is there a rule-of-thumb? I'm having difficulty with the not-as-huge, not-as-obvious candidates. What other criteria do you use besides row-count? Perhaps archival requirements? I guess it would depend on what you are using the partitioning to achieve. Partition exclusion for read performance improvement or for culling off old data, etc. Any shared insights for where to draw the line on partitioning candidates would be greatly appreciated.

RE: used segment space in bytes

Unexplained table growth
Hi all, 8.1.7.2.0 on HP/UX 11.0 -- A developer tested a table recreate in our test DB. Here's the scenario: CREATE TABLE MY_BIG_TABLE ( FISCAL_YEAR NUMBER (5), PERIODCHAR (2), ACCOUNTNO CHAR (12), TRANSTYPE CHAR (2), TRANSQTY FLOAT, TRANSAMNT FLOAT, COMMENT_TEXT CHAR (30), TRANSDATE DATE) TABLESPACE QT_APPS1 PCTFREE 10 PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 2 MAXTRANS 255 STORAGE ( INITIAL 209715200 NEXT 10485760 PCTINCREASE 0 MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS 249 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 ) NOCACHE; The table previously had a total of 14 extents, giving it a size of 330MB. The dev TRUNCATED the table (I don't know if "REUSE STORAGE" was used), and added 4,054,632 (4M) rows. The table is still at 14 extents and 330MB. So, all's well in test, the dev did the same in production. The row count was *slightly* higher, at 4.069,106, but the table size jumped 60% to 560MB. The DB_BLOCK_SIZE on both DBs is 8K. Of course, this filled up the TBS and caused havoc. I looked in DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL and DBA_TAB_MODIFICATIONS, but I can't find any significant difference between what was done to the table in test and prod. The table in production has NO deletes recorded in DBA_TAB_MODIFICATIONS, just inserts. Can anyone think of a scenario as to why this table would grow in prod but not test with relatively the same number of rows and the exact same table layout??? The only thing I can think of is that a "REUSE STORAGE" was issued on one TRUNCATE, but not another, but I still don't see how that could account for the table growth. I'm going thru LogMiner now, but as our test DB is in archivelog mode, I can only look in production (and it's taking forever!). TIA!

RE: multiple extents are OK, dagnabbit!
Hello, My 2 cents: It does make a difference to reorg, esp. when done thoughtfully, with a specific goal in mind. For example, if you have a order_log table that started with first extent 1MB and next extent 1MB, and this table has grown in size to say, 10 million rows (business is good), you would have hundreds of extents, and each of those new extents took some time to extend that would have been avoided if you had started with 100MB first and 25MB next. Indexes take a far worse performance hit. You also expose yourself to other issues (fragmentation, full table scans (yuck) run slower, table drops run slower, more extent overhead, recovery time runs slower, risk of failure increases).

Re: RMAN - restoring archive logs
Walter,
You have restore the production database backup on the test server and
opened the database with resetlogs ...right. This has created a new
incarnation of the database.
RMAN does not recoginize the new incarnation of your test database since yu
have not done a "reset database".

RE: Standby Instance questions and HA
I've seen a similar idea running on Silicon Graphics kit : 2 servers; heartbeat check between them; Drives mount on the other box when the 'live' system fails It was nice when it worked...Testing the failover caused barely a ripple, although it did disconnect any open sessions. Alas, it rarely worked that well when there was an actual problem. As with the Sun solution, no extra charge from Oracle, but added costs from SG. Still, who in their right mind would choose to run a production database on discontinued SGI machines? Simon Anderson Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc:(bcc: Simon Anderson/SSplc) We have this in place on Sun as well. It is similar to a cluster in that it has a separate box (Ultra 2) monitoring a heartbeat between both database servers. You will have a significant impact during failover. All drives common to both boxes will be unmounted on the primary and remounted on the secondary (which then becomes the primary). Since a "fsck" is run for each file system it can take upwards of 30 minutes for the failover. The database is shut down and brought back up so all connections are severed which means an interruption of service. If I wanted H/A on Sun I would move to 9i and implement a RAC. No application changes are necessary with this new version of OPS. Good luck. --Michael -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 11:03 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Jim: Sorry, you're not gonna like this answer. HA is a Sun product, not an Oracle product. Under Sun's High Availability, you can configure several modules like Sybase and Oracle. (The Oracle product is Sun Cluster HA-DBMS for Oracle.) It does require what I believe Sun calls a cluster but (IMHO) is a bastardization of the term. It truly is failover, not cluster. We've had lots of problems with it. It's caused us lots of grief, and only in a few instances gained us anything. It is NOT OPS, as the database does not run in parallel, but only on 1 box at a time. (Everything is double cabled, and so the drives are re-mounted on the 2nd box if a failover occurs.) Your users still get disconnected. You'd probably lose less data than with a standby (since you pick up with the same drives mounted on the other box), but it depends on how you have the standby implemented. There's no additional cost from Oracle to run this crap, but you'll be paying Sun great sums of money. The Sun web site has more info on HA. Let me know if you need more info. Good luck!

Re: SPACE FREE HOW?
The dba_space package has routines that will tell you wherer the hwm mark. With that infomration and 1.75 you can get a cup of coffee :-). Knowing "where" the HWM mark is, is not helpful. The only way to move it, is to truncate the table. I know this is difficult in a 24X7 system but frankly is unavoidable. BTW, you have a perfect situation for a partitioned table based on months. Then instead of deleting date you can drop the partition.

RE: Standby Instance questions and HA
Nah, I make sure all servers have the same uid/gid for oracle but I have naming standards for the lv's and filesystems. This allows me to failover multiple primary servers to a single secondary. I was just curious, b/c I have seen other sites that use your method. I prefer not having to synch multiple OH's. I can just see it happen 6 mos from now, failover occurs, but someone forgot the synch, o o :). Thanks.

If I only had one database on the server (or if they were all developed in-house) I probably would have installed the software on failover disks as well. Do you fail over the Unix account as well? -Original Message- Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 4:50 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L When I failover, I bring the Oracle Home as well. Do you have special reasons for not bringing the Oracle Home over? *just curious* Gene >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/17/02 08:45PM >>> You will always have the same issues with fail over technology. Your users will get disconnected. My databases take less then 5 minutes to fail over and that is an acceptable time frame to the client. Its great from my standpoint for maintenance cause I can do it on one node, fail the databases over, and bring the other node up to date. I do not have the Oracle software itself in fail over, just the database. We do not find it to hard to work with here. I have no experience with Sun's so I cannot compare them. Whether or not you go with fail over technology all depends on what you are looking for.You will not lose any committed data with HP's (probably not with anyone else's either). Fail over is automatic when configured correctly. I have seen it happen once that I did not even know, it was that quick. Went to go look for my database on the server and it was not there:-) -Original Message- McCann Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 10:05 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Thanks for your help everyone.

Mit Gluck, mein freund... - Ross "mit schuss" Mohan -Original Message- Jim: Sorry, you're not gonna like this answer. HA is a Sun product, not an Oracle product. Under Sun's High Availability, you can configure several modules like Sybase and Oracle. (The Oracle product is Sun Cluster HA-DBMS for Oracle.) It does require what I believe Sun calls a cluster but (IMHO) is a bastardization of the term. It truly is failover, not cluster. We've had lots of problems with it. It's caused us lots of grief, and only in a few instances gained us anything. It is NOT OPS, as the database does not run in parallel, but only on 1 box at a time. (Everything is double cabled, and so the drives are re-mounted on the 2nd box if a failover occurs.) Your users still get disconnected. You'd probably lose less data than with a standby (since you pick up with the same drives mounted on the other box), but it depends on how you have the standby implemented. There's no additional cost from Oracle to run this crap, but you'll be paying Sun great sums of money. The Sun web site has more info on HA. Let me know if you need more info. Good luck!

RE: Disaster recovery using RMAN
Yechiel - Thank you for your concern. Yes, in fact we back the non-database files on the system up every night, so the RMAN file will actually get written to several tapes. I just didn't mention it in detail. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 2:15 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hello Dennis I think that you need to backup the disk files to tape A.S.A.P. What will you do if your disk has gone to the great disk scrap yard in the sky? One more point: Is the disk on the same machine or in the same room? What will you do if a fire will destroy your server farm? To get a good backup you need to replicate the disks to a remote site or backup them to tapes and put the tapes in remote site.

RE: When should a table be partitioned?
Cherie - I am relatively new to partitioned tables, but I have two criteria. 1. Partition the table for performance. If you have some significant queries that will be doing full table scans (not unusual for data warehouses), then may partition so the full table scans just scan a selected partition. 2. Partition for manageability. If the table is really large you could partition by the year or some such so that you can add a new year and remove an old year. Another possibility is if you have many disks, even if the full table scan is going to hit the entire table, you can partition the table across several disks so that multiple disks are scanning simultaneously. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 7:21 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L We have a number of partitioned tables in a couple of existing data warehouses. We are working on the design for a new warehouse and need to decide which tables should be partitioned. For you folks that have partitioned tables, how do you decide which tables to be partition? Some tables with very large row counts are obvious candidates. If you go off of row counts solely, what is the cut-off point for where you should start partitioning? Is there a rule-of-thumb? I'm having difficulty with the not-as-huge, not-as-obvious candidates. What other criteria do you use besides row-count? Perhaps archival requirements? I guess it would depend on what you are using the partitioning to achieve. Partition exclusion for read performance improvement or for culling off old data, etc. Any shared insights for where to draw the line on partitioning candidates would be greatly appreciated.
