LOB Help needed
Title: LOB Help needed Hi, Has anyone any document about implementation of Lobs/BFILES using Oracle Developer 6/6i as front end tool. Manulplating LOBs within the database is not a big problem, but getting them out to display it is what I need. I have found a doc which explains the procedure but its about JAVA not Developer 6, Any help in the regards will be highly appreciated..

RE: RTFM questions (formally RE: PL/SQL)
Amen! -Original Message- Sent: 29 January 2002 06:20 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L The problem is that if you always ask the group for help, you never learn where the information is within the manuals or other reference documentation and the group also gets cluttered with trivia. I agree with you that the list is here to help people and I personally do not mind the odd naive question from a new DBA, but it is the ...can't be bothered to look up the manual.. attitude that is most frustrating. When you ask the format of a command (for example) to the list, you are potentionally asking 1000's of people the same question who will all have to spend the time to filter these questions - we are all busy people and I personally do not want to use my time in this way. I'm sure you can see that this is a much more expensive option than asking the person next to you.

Rman again. Long screen output included
Hi ,
I copied jay's line for duplication until time exactly into my test script
but recovering errors out in the end.
I looked in the documentation for another example of the until time clause
but no luck. Can anybody explain why this won't work.
(the double single quotes to which it translates looks fishy to me, but so
does the whole RMAN thing at the moment)
If I remove the until time clause it works fine.

RE: sqlplus question
Thanks Stephan, Your suggestion had motivated me and I wrote the code, after RTFM. Sameer, I didn't scheduled the job on OS because this should an Oracle Job, log switching has nothing to do with OS (you don't trouble a company GM when the work should be done by a Normal Manager right??). And you need to handle the error conditions of OS when your DB is down, which is eliminated in this case.

AFAIK this is generated code (by RMAN) based on the command duplicate that

But where is it getting the other commands shown in the output?
Like the set newfile for datafile 1 to command?
Are you running scripts stored within the Rman catalog? The message
'RMAN-03027-' states that this is a stored script.
Maybe a stored script is wrong?

Jack,
I don't think Rman wants double single quotes, but double quotes around
the whole to_date clause. At least that's what I use when performing
recovery.
Did I mis-read what you said?

Database Performance Question
Hello all: We have an application that is having slow response time against an 8i database, I would like to improve the response time. This is a web based application accessing the database with about 2000 users. Most of the application queries are based on complex joins on 4 big tables with each having over 5 million rows( biggest table has 18 million rows). I have tuned the Package queries for the best explain plan possible, but still do not seem to make dramatic change in the response time. Though, I was able to make significant headway tuning these packages by bringing down response times from 7 minutes to under 3 minutes. But this is not an acceptable response time from a web-application perspective. I am considering creating data cubes based on the most frequently used join conditions and pre-populate them on a nightly basis or use triggers to update the cube simultaneously. I am hoping that this enhance the response times. I would greatly appreciate your suggestions or opinions on this idea. If you have an alternative/better way of achiving this please enlighten me. Thank very much. Srini Rajendran. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California-- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

Default role all
Hello, Env: 8.1.6 on Solaris 2.7 Does anyone know which data dictionary table stores the setting when you issue an ALTER USER user_name DEFAULT ROLE ALL COMMAND? I know that dba_role_privs has a default_role (YES/NO) field, but that is specific to each role. Is there another table that stores a system-wide default role setting per user? The reason I ask, without getting too complicated, is that we used to assign new roles to users without specifying anything to do with default roles, and the newly-assigned role automatically became a default role. Recently, this has changed due to using both toad and sqlplus to administer roles, and I am wondering if there is another table where the system-wide default setting for roles is stored. If not, is there any way to assign new roles as default roles without having to specify alter user user_name default role all every time a new role is granted (or worse, an explicit list of roles)?

Title: RTFM questions (formally RE: PL/SQL) No offense to anybody, butI think this is rather arrogant. The list is for anybody (unless the list owner decides it's just for experienced dba's). I am brand new to Oracle, having just started learning it this week. I can easily foresee having what some might consider stupid orRTFM questions, and being possibly unable to find the answer or having problems deciphering the manual. I myself am somewhat of a Word pro (and my vba code samples page is the #1 ranked site of its kind on most major search engines) and I help all kinds of newbies out on a Word list of which I am a member, as do all the other members of the list. Everybody on that list is extremely gracious and nobody complains -- and the people with questions get the help they need, with nobody sitting back going "boy are you stupid / lazy".

Most of the application queries are based on complex joins on 4 big tables with each having over 5 million rows( biggest table has 18 million rows). I have tuned the Package queries for the best explain plan possible, but still do not seem to make dramatic change in the response time. Though, I was able to make significant headway tuning these packages by bringing down response times from 7 minutes to under 3 minutes. But this is not an acceptable response time from a web-application perspective. I am considering creating data cubes based on the most frequently used join conditions and pre-populate them on a nightly basis or use triggers to update the cube simultaneously. I am hoping that this enhance the response times. I would greatly appreciate your suggestions or opinions on this idea. If you have an alternative/better way of achiving this please enlighten me. Thank very much.

RE:Hot backup and TEMP tablespace
ALWAYS BACKUP THE ROLLBACK TABLESPACE! or you will not be able to recover. How else will Oracle rollback a transaction in the works when the database went down. I do not back up TEMP or my INDEX tables spaces. I have scripts that recreate all of these. (150GB of indices, not worth the tape.) And while I use RMAN for backups I do all my recoveries from the our scripted hot backups. I also practise recoveries every 6 months. RMAN backups fine, it's recoveries it has trouble with :) Why? There is limited flexibility with RMAN along with an added dependency. As most know I loathe unecessary dependencies. An Example: power surge blows out Machine and hub/router power supply. Machine automagicaly fails over to alternate power, however, the hub/router needs servicing. Your RMAN catalog is on the other side of the hub/router. What are you going to do now? And yes, as I keep saying, I am paranoid. Dave Tom wrote: steps just to save yourself some time during backups? Why stop at backing up the TEMP tablespace - why not the ROLLBACK tablespace - this could be dropped and re-created also. Why not INDEX tablespaces - heck, if you have the scripts, these could be re-created too! -- Dave Morgan DBA, Cybersurf Office: 403 777 2000 ext 284 -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Dave Morgan INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California-- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

Re: Lookup Table Usage
Thanks, Connor. Oh, did I enjoy the Master Class this past week. A couple of situations: 14 people, including Millsap, Steve Adams, Jonathan Lewis, James Morle and what have you sitting around my oak table one evening when dinner is served. Most of the guys simply closed their laptops, placed the plates on top of the laptop, ate dinner while continuing to discuss important Oracle matters, then removed the plates, thanked for the dinner, re-opened the laptops and continued typing. Or one morning when Steve Adams and I are discussing South African the in my kitchen. Jonathan comes down the stairs with a towel around his neck. Doesn't say good morning. Doesn't say hello. Does say: "Did you know, that when you join 256 simple tables, the parse time with the RBO is 44 minutes and 22 seconds?". Steve replied: Good morning, Jonathan. Jonathan looked at us (very sleepy look), then said Good Morning and went to the showers. Or the look on the hotdog stand owner's face when we pulled up beside his hotdog stand at 2330 hours in a huge bus and people just kept coming out of the bus and ordering hotdogs. We had been there every night (Anjo insists) in growing numbers. I had promised to call ahead and tell him how many we would be on this special night. Well, I forgot. Bjarnes Polser, as it's called, will never be the same again. It was a fun week. You should have been there, Connor ;-).

Re: CHECKPOINT?
Log file sync is another name for commit. So have fewer commits or make them faster is the extremely short answer. But these values are taking out of context - if the time_waited for log file sync is small compared to the total response time, then who cares? :).

Re: export the schema exclude two tables?
Well. I've done it several times, ie modify the exutab or exu7tab or whatever view to do something special like exporting all tables except ... or export of a tablespace (!), etc. As long as you modify the export views, run the modified catexp, do the export, then re-run the original catexp you're fine. It's just a bunch of views used by the database. Nothing dangerous in that - except, of course, if you specify something wrong and doesn't export the data you want. Just remember to go back to the real and correct definitions of the views after your special export.

This is a web based application accessing the database with about 2000 users.

Though, I was able to make significant headway tuning these packages by bringing down response times from 7 minutes to under 3 minutes. But this is not an acceptable response time from a web-application perspective.

Install problem solved
Last week I posted the note below about installation problems we were experiencing. The Oracle installer just failed with no message. We have solved to problem and thought I would share the solution with the list. The installer was looking at a file '/usr/var/opt/oracle/orainst.loc', deciding that it didn't need to upgrade an existing database, and halting/failing. That is our interpretation anyway. Deleting this file caused the installer to run successfully. On the Compaq Tru64 we can't recall Oracle ever using a file in that path. Normally Oracle uses /etc for that sort of thing. Lots of other things were tried in this endeavor so I can't discount the fact that some of those changes might have helped resolve the problem. We found this especially puzzling because we installed 8.1.7 on another machine cleanly and this file was present, but apparently didn't upset the installer. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc.

RE: Class does not exist error
This is supposed to be BUG# 1260358 and fixed in 8.1.6.1, but I can't find any info on that BUG... You may want to try to execute the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/iniplsj.sql script as user SYS.

Where to store BLOB's
Hello all We are designing a new application. This application stores files that were FTP to the clients and keep then for resubmitting (if the user ask for them). There are two formats: 1) Standard records whose internal format is known. These files lets the user ask for a subset of the records, i.e. all the records for branch that were submitted in the last week, etc. . 2) Strange files that are moved as a file. Here the application is not aware of the internal format, i.e. excel files, and these files are going to be stored as Blob's and the user can ask only for the whole file again. I know that you can store Blob's in three ways: (already rtfm a little) 1) In the record (up to 4k), more goes to another tablespace. 2) In Oracle but in another tablespace (always). 3) As external files.

This is a web based application accessing the database with about 2000 users. Most of the application queries are based on complex joins on 4 big tables with each having over 5 million rows( biggest table has 18 million rows). I have tuned the Package queries for the best explain plan possible, but still do not seem to make dramatic change in the response time. Though, I was able to make significant headway tuning these packages by bringing down response times from 7 minutes to under 3 minutes. But this is not an acceptable response time from a web-application perspective. I am considering creating data cubes based on the most frequently used join conditions and pre-populate them on a nightly basis or use triggers to update the cube simultaneously.

RE: Database Performance Question
Kirti: Thanks for the insight. Here are my Answers: 1. I feel database is the problem because when only a subset of the total data is used the performance is excellent (with one tenth of the total data). The no. of users are the same. Only amount data that is retrieved is enormous (almost 10 times) when we have the performance problem. 2. Partioning may/may not help as it still has to traverse through all of the partitions to get the data required in order to satisfy the join condition. May improve response time but not significantly. 3. I will look into this as well. 4. Connections on the database side are DEDICATED and on the web side they are shared.(Using Microsoft COM objects, have certain set of database connections as POOL that are shared by different users.) Please let me know what you think...

adpatch question
Hi Folks! I'm in the middle of an 11.5.5 upgrade. Now, if you've done that type of thing before, you know those suckers just run forever, and if you leave it running overnight, you generally come in the next day to find that things failed overnight. Well, that's where I was. I left this sucker to run overnight, and, when I came in, sure enough, worker 4 had crapped out with a java error. I checked metalink, and it said skip it, and when you're done with 1808429 (the 11.5.5 upgrade patch), just run asfakreg.jlt manually. Fine. No big deal. I went into adctrl and everything was in a wait state except for ol number 4 which crapped out. I chose hidden option 8 (skip this thing) and the status changed to Skip restart. Great. Except it didn't. Evidently, having no response for X amount of time, all my workers stopped. Again, no big deal, just re-run adpatch and let it start where it crapped out. Well, now we run into a big deal, because it can't change the status from Skip restart to anything that will allow adpatch to start again (like, maybe, failed where it was before I fixed it). I'm thinking of going under the sheets, finding the $%^* table and updating the status myself. Anyone have any reason why that's not such a great idea? Anyone have any other sneaky ways to change the status? Anyone have a list of the hidden options that Oracle doesn't tell you about (like ol number 8 there?)? aTdHvAaNnKcSe!

Microsoft plans to bundle iFS copycat into it operating system
FYI, http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/23852.html They seem to have decided that iFS is not a bad idea, and they will integrate it into their future OS. Same strategy as for Novell's NDS and the Windows Active Directory in Windows2000. A Netscape equivalent into Windows95. OS/2 HPFS which was ported as NT's NTFS.
