RE: Which certification for Oracle DBA ???

2002-02-12 Thread Abdul Aleem

What when both are gone?

IMH opinion, C++/Assembly would probably stay and be in demand. Within c++
probably text based would go earlier than GUI based. To my understanding,
you can code for both in GUI.

RE: Sql question

2002-02-12 Thread Arn Klammer

Remco is right: the last predicate in the subquery should be "=" instead of "<>" as we 
want to EXCLUDE those ones using the NOT EXISTS.  In fact, I think that query will 
always return no rows, as the first part is asking for those with searchvalue =  
'first one', but not those with no searchvalues that do not equal 'second one', which 
of course excludes 'first one'...

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 13/2/2002 3:48:27 >>>

Remco,

This is exactly what he wants - all records where the first one exists and
the second one does not exist.

  where a.a= b.a
and b.b1= c.b1
and b.b2= c.b2

the above presumes that the columns b1 and b2 are part of the

Hi,

I have the following sql:

c
  where a.a= b.a

and b.b1= c.b1
and b.b2= c.b2

c.searchvalue<> 'second one'

The problem is that if a company has a record with  c.searchvalue=
'first 
one' then the
query above list it although it has another record with c.searchvalue= 
'second one'


To be more precise : I need to get the companies that have searchvalue =

'first one' but I don't want
to see companies that has 'second one'. (the main problem is with
companies 
that have both values)

RE: Moving Oracle Binaries from HP to SUN

2002-02-12 Thread Sujatha Madan

Rob,

I've faced a slightly similar scenario. The main difference being, I didn't
go from a SUN box to a HP box. Instead, it was from one SUN box to another
SUN box. The binaries were installed on the other server and the EMC disks
connected (if that is the right word) to the server. Everything worked fine
after that.

I don;t know whether or not going from HP to SUN would have different
issues.

Has anyone done the following:

Create a db using Oracle Loaded on an HP Server 
- The datafiles, controlfiles, etc will be on EMC

Later, 
Install the oracle binaries on a SUN Server, basically
unplug the HP from the SYMM, and plug in the SUN and
bring up the database.

I was asked this yesterday because some of the sun
hardware is on back order, and they want to put the
project in production before the parts will arrive. 
There is a spare HP server (bought for another
project) they can use until the parts arrive.

I am awaiting an official response from Oracle, but
thought I would get your input.

  Joe,
  We referred the auditing option. My understanding is 
  that you can track the oracle users using database auditing feature 
  once the users are logged into the database. 
  But my requirement is to track the users who tried to 
  login to the database but could not login due to wrong 
  password.
  For example, somebody may know the connect string for 
  an oracle database and trying to login to the database as system user 
  and with various combination of password. We like to know who are 
  these users.
  Thanks,Ashoke

Why would you need coalesce at all?. My understanding that if Oracle cannot

RE: Which certification for Oracle DBA ???

2002-02-12 Thread Jason Rowski

I think Solaris is going to go away soon as it is
going replaced by Linux.The reasons are :

1) Linux is backed by all the major vendors like IBM,
HP, SGI etc. ( even SUN was pressured into offering
Linux on sparc on low end servers).

2) Running Linux is cheap because of the all open
source software out there. Plus Linux admins are
cheaper than solaris admins.

Thanks

Oracle Advanced Security on Server - Mandatory encryption

2002-02-12 Thread Martin, Alan
Title: Oracle Advanced Security on Server - Mandatory encryption





I am primarily interested in encryption, not authentication.
I understand that placing the following lines in a client's sqlnet.ora file to REQUIRE encryption to/from the server is:

SQLNET_CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_TYPE_SERVER = MD5
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
SQLNET.CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_CLIENT = requested
SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_TYPES_SERVER= (RC4_40, DES40)
SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_TYPES_CLIENT= (RC4_40, DES40)
SQLNET_CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_TYPE_CLIENT = MD5
SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME = 0
SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_SERVER = REQUIRED
SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_CLIENT = REQUIRED
SQLNET.CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_SERVER = requested
SQLNET.CRYPTO_SEED = qwertyuiopasdfghjkl;zxcvbnm


If encryption can not be enforced by either the client or the server (due to the REQUIRED values), the connection won't be made.

This seems kind of arbitrary that the client can dictate how the server is to conduct business. What (and where) on the server do I set such that encryption is mandatory to/from ANY client? Am I correct that the server's sqlnet.ora file has nothing to do with a remote client's sqlnet.ora file?

Thanx,

RE: Upgrading from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7 - Please help

2002-02-12 Thread Kevin Lange

Good point.

-Original Message-
Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 12:29 PM
To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L


Fred,
I'll respond this way. The odma makes its selection on the database to
upgrade based on those available from oratab (with the old database
$ORACLE_HOME).  Also the odma default execution will want to start that
database before it upgrades the datafiles.  On top of that, I would want my
test upgrades to mimic the production upgrades as closely as possible.

With that in mind, I would reinstall 8.0.5 under 5.8, and proceed from
there.

-Original Message-


Hello list,
  I am attempting to upgrade my database from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7. I had the old 
8.0.5 database on a SunOS 5.6 database.  I performed a full cold-backup of 
the database.  The SA then did a rebuild on the server to upgrade the OS to 
SunOS 5.8.  There is no Oracle software or data on the server now.
  My question is:  Now that I want to go to 8.1.7, do I have to first 
install 8.0.5 and bring the database up prior to installing 8.1.7 and 
upgrading, OR ... can I simply install 8.1.7 and perform a migration using 
8.1.7 on the old 8.0.5 datafiles?  How does this work?

Thanks in advance,

Preperation for OCP 9i

2002-02-12 Thread Jason Rowski

Hi 

I used the book 'Oracle 9i : New features' by Robert
Freeman. I had made extensive notes on Oracle 9i new
features from Oracle 9i manuals also. If you are
interested , I can post it online.

The exam is at the same level as Oracle 8i upgrade
exam.

Thanks
Jason

RE: Rollback Segment Problem

2002-02-12 Thread Mohammad Rafiq

Jerry,
Thanks for sharing script. We might have better systems as timing was never 
be a issue. I just tested my script on 2 systems and it ran between 34.5 
mseconds to 4.65 seconds...and on the basis of it is results we coalesce all 
such tablespaces. I prefer to keep pctincrease of tablespaces as 0(zero) and 
manually coalesing as and when it is required

So have you ran your deletion job after coalesing or not?

Rafiq,

While your script provides a lot of good information, it sure is slow on my 
system. It took 1:44 minutes while my script below took 420 mseconds. I was 
really surprised as my script has a self-join. Then I checked out 
dba_free_space_coalesced. It sure is complicated as it calls on two other 
views and a table.

select a.tablespace_name, count(a.tablespace_name) "ContinguousFreeBlocks"
from dba_free_space a, dba_free_space b
where a.tablespace_name = b.tablespace_name
and a.file_id = b.file_id
and a.block_id = b.block_id + b.Blocks
group by a.tablespace_name;

If ContinguousFreeBlocks is > 10, I coalesce.

Re[4]: Date format element rule change

2002-02-12 Thread Jonathan Gennick

Alexander,

Your example below is very helpful, and explains why I
recalled that duplicating date elements was possible. I
probably used TO_CHAR to test this in the past, while the
other day I was using ALTER SESSION.

My theory on why you can't duplicate elements when setting
NLS_DATE_FORMAT is that the NLS_DATE_FORMAT value gets used
for both input AND output. It's no problem to spit the month
out twice in two different ways, but there's probably some
issues involved with making users specify the month
twice. For example, what if a user specifies two different
months, as in: Feb (03) 15, 2002?

This is becomming clearer to me now. Thanks.

Title: RE: Re[4]: Date format element rule change





Jonathan,
You are right.
From FM:


For input format models, format items cannot appear twice,
and format items that represent similar information cannot be combined.
For example, you cannot use 'S' and 'BC' in the same format string.


And:


NLS_DATE_FORMAT specifies the default date format
to use with the TO_CHAR and TO_DATE functions.

RE: How to find out Oracle patch applied

In the $ORACLE_BASE/oraInventory/logs directory look for ' Patch' string in
the installActions*.log files. 
You may find it there... Then you can view that install log file for more
info.
If those log files aren't there, then you are left with the Oracle Installer
to tell you..

You can look in USER_TABLES/DBA_TABLES at the DEGREE column.  This will give
you the number of parallel processes to use for the table.  It is also in
the USER_INDEXES/DBA_INDEXES view.


You can set this values by issuing an:  Alter table {tablename} parallel 2;

Hi Bob,

1.  change the initializaion parameter audit_trail to be:

shutdown and restart database

2. connect to the database as a user that has the privilege "AUDIT SYSTEM"
audit session whenever not successful

at this point you can see these unsuccessful logins by monitoring the

[sans@sans.org: SANS FLASH ALERT: Widespread SNMP Vulnerability]

2002-02-12 Thread Ray Stell


Oracle does not seem to be listed, but you got to wonder what code
they based their snmp stuff on.  You may want to nudge you sysadmin
in the ribs, also. 




- Forwarded message from The SANS Institute <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -

Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2002 12:30:06 -0700 (MST)
To: Ray Stell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>(SD569668)

SANS FLASH ALERT: Widespread SNMP Vulnerability
1:30 PM EST 12 February, 2002

To: Ray Stell (SD569668)

Note: This is preliminary data! If you have additional information,
please send it to us at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In a few minutes wire services and other news sources will begin
breaking a story about widespread vulnerabilities in SNMP (Simple
Network Management Protocol).  Exploits of the vulnerability cause
systems to fail or to be taken over.  The vulnerability can be found in
more than a hundred manufacturers' systems and is very widespread -
millions of routers and other systems are involved.

As one of the SANS alumni, your leadership is needed in making sure that
all systems for which you have any responsibility are protected. To do
that, first ensure that SNMP is turned off. If you absolutely must run
SNMP, get the patch from your hardware or software vendor. They are all
working on patches right now. It also makes sense for you to filter
traffic destined for SNMP ports (assuming the system doing the filtering
is patched).

To block SNMP access, block traffic to ports 161 and 162 for tcp and
udp.  In addition, if you are using Cisco, block udp for port 1993.

The problems were caused by programming errors that have been in the
SNMP implementations for a long time, but only recently discovered.

CERT/CC is taking the lead on the process of getting the vendors to get
their patches out.  Additional information is posted at
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-03.html

A final note.

Turning off SNMP was one of the strong recommendations in the Top 20

RE: How to find out Oracle patch applied

2002-02-12 Thread Magaliff, Bill

Load the Oracle Installer and click on Installed Products - will tell you
every patch installed by the Installer, which are all the major ones . . .
minor patches and one-off's that are installed via OS file copy will NOT
show up.

Re: wrong result from select

2002-02-12 Thread Brian McGraw

I tried the steps on 8.1.7.0.0 on Solaris 2.7, and it worked fine.  Trying it on
8.1.7.2.0 provided the erroneous(??) results, but only after the table was analyzed.

Has this been filed as a bug?

Re: Moving Oracle Binaries from HP to SUN

2002-02-12 Thread Rachel Carmichael

haven't done it, and I don't think it can be done... the datafiles,
while Oracle datafiles are still Unix OS files and you can't just copy
a file created on HP to Sun and expect it to work.

You'd have to export and import/rebuild the database

Or do like ORACLE says they are doing,
 and Cluster Intel Based Machines with LINUX.

Then you can get rid of all those competing Hardware Vendors.

Stephane,
 In the not so distant future, I think we might see a push to
accomplish just what  Robert is asking. With the growth of the need for
speed and the decline in the economy, a lot of companies can not afford
to purchase new machines and discard to old. If I was a company that had
a few different but capable servers to use I would want them all to work
together in a cluster if needed. $$$ talks in the IT world today and a
lot of us are having to make do with what we have or be creative in our
DBA duties. 
I would like to be able to cluster an HP,SUN,INTEL,AIX or what ever or
have the different machines be a backup server. With the merging of
companies there is a merging of resources. One company has HP and
another has SUN. Do you discard one for the other? or have a capital
expendature that you can't afford?
Just a thought.

It will not work. Look at the prerequisite for standby databases, it
will give you a fair idea of how far you can go in terms of
cross-platform play - not very far. The architecture and OS must be
the
same.

RE: Moving Oracle Binaries from HP to SUN

There have been a few posts in the past claiming that copying datafiles from
HP to SUN and vice versa was okay. 
However, I never received anyone's reply when I asked them how many
Production Databases they have transferred using this method. 

Experimenting is fine but one can't run business on such experimentation.

Thanks for the responses.

I thought exp/imp was the only way to go, but I feel
much more confident now.  That was also Oracle's
response.

BTW, I think they have changed their thinking on this
issue anyway.

Title: RE: URGENT Help on tracking unauthorized login to Oracle Database



Hi all,


I have never done this particular activity but by following the clues given
in this
thread AND BY reading the documentation I was able to make this work.  The
steps I followed were.

1.  change the initializaion parameter audit_trail to be:
audit_trail=db
shutdown and restart database

2. connect to the database as a user that has the privilege "AUDIT SYSTEM"
audit session whenever not successful

at this point you can see these unsuccessful logins by monitoring the 
dba_audit_trail view.

Joe,
We referred the auditing option. My understanding
is thatyou can track the oracle users using database auditing feature
once theusers are logged into the database. 
But my requirement is to track the users who tried
tologin to the database but could not login due to wrong password.
For example, somebody may know the connect string
for anoracle database and trying to login to the database as system
user andwith various combination of password. We like to know who
are theseusers.

This is all covered in great detail in the 8.1.7 Migration Guide - Chapter 7
titled "Upgrading from a Previous Version 8 Release to the New Oracle8i
Release"

There is no need to install 8.0.5 on the target server.  

Just load the cold backup files, adjust init.ora and follow the steps from
the guide.

Take another cold backup after the upgrade is done. 

BTW, Oracle calls this an Upgrade, not a Migrate... :)

is possible to migrate the 8.0.5 datafiles using 8.1.7 software. They say I 
do not need to install 8.0.5 on the "new" server.
Finding instructions in a document covering this is not easy!

Dedicated server memory usage 8.1.7 vs 7.3.4

2002-02-12 Thread Tracy Rahmlow

We just recently migrated some production databases from 7.3.4 to 8.1.7.3 on
AIX.  We have noticed that the amount of memory per dedicated server process
spiked from about 400k to 2m.  Anybody have any ideas about why this occurs?
Is this normal?  Thanks

RE: Upgrading from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7 - Please help

2002-02-12 Thread Hand, Michael T

Fred,
I'll respond this way. The odma makes its selection on the database to
upgrade based on those available from oratab (with the old database
$ORACLE_HOME).  Also the odma default execution will want to start that
database before it upgrades the datafiles.  On top of that, I would want my
test upgrades to mimic the production upgrades as closely as possible.

With that in mind, I would reinstall 8.0.5 under 5.8, and proceed from
there.

Hello list,
  I am attempting to upgrade my database from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7. I had the old 
8.0.5 database on a SunOS 5.6 database.  I performed a full cold-backup of 
the database.  The SA then did a rebuild on the server to upgrade the OS to 
SunOS 5.8.  There is no Oracle software or data on the server now.
  My question is:  Now that I want to go to 8.1.7, do I have to first 
install 8.0.5 and bring the database up prior to installing 8.1.7 and 
upgrading, OR ... can I simply install 8.1.7 and perform a migration using 
8.1.7 on the old 8.0.5 datafiles?  How does this work?

Re: Oracle Migration Utility

2002-02-12 Thread Ron Rogers

Fred,
 I don't know how you can use the migration utility from one physical
machine to another. I used the export,import method when going across
platforms. 
Build the new database on the new server to your desired specs and then
export the tables you want to move to the new database and import them.
It worked great for me. I could not use the full export because the
database is 70GIG and I only have 5GIG free disk space. Exporting a few
tables at a time worked nicely for the large tables. The small tables I
built on the new server and then did a network copy of the data. That
way I did not tie up the network during the day and the copy was
controlled by a script to run all night.
Good luck.
ROR mª¿ªm

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/12/02 10:28AM >>>
Can anyone advise me on using the migration utility?
We are finally moving from 7.3.4 to 8.1.7. Has the

greatly appreciated.

THe history, if you want to know. We have been stuck
at 7.3.4 due to a lack of migration path for OPS on
SGI equipment. We are now installing a Sun 4800, and
will be ready to start testing the migration in March.

Re: Moving Oracle Binaries from HP to SUN

2002-02-12 Thread Ron Rogers

Stephane,
 In the not so distant future, I think we might see a push to
accomplish just what  Robert is asking. With the growth of the need for
speed and the decline in the economy, a lot of companies can not afford
to purchase new machines and discard to old. If I was a company that had
a few different but capable servers to use I would want them all to work
together in a cluster if needed. $$$ talks in the IT world today and a
lot of us are having to make do with what we have or be creative in our
DBA duties. 
I would like to be able to cluster an HP,SUN,INTEL,AIX or what ever or
have the different machines be a backup server. With the merging of
companies there is a merging of resources. One company has HP and
another has SUN. Do you discard one for the other? or have a capital
expendature that you can't afford?
Just a thought.

It will not work. Look at the prerequisite for standby databases, it
will give you a fair idea of how far you can go in terms of
cross-platform play - not very far. The architecture and OS must be
the
same.

To be more precise : I need to get the companies that have searchvalue =

RE: Upgrading from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7 - Please help

2002-02-12 Thread Mercadante, Thomas F

Fred,

Read the Migration guide for 817.

If you want to take the chance of losing time, put your 805 db back on the
machine and try a migration.  If you have never performed a migration, I
think you will either be incredibly lucky if it works ok, or you will be
back-tracking (delete all the files, and reload them again, reload 805, read
the 817 migration docs, create a test 805 db, migrate the test db to 817 to
get familiar with the process, and then migrate your db).

The first place to start in read-read-read-read.

Good Luck!

This is not a production database. It's just a reporting machine.
Which document are you referring to?  The migration guide for 8.0.5 or for 
8.1.7?  The 8.1.7 guide does not mention a migration process for a 
non-installed 8.0.5 software.  Does this matter?

Re: Rollback Segment Problem

2002-02-12 Thread Mohammad Rafiq

Is your tablespace fragmented as it is not finding contingous extent ..
TRy to coalesce your subject tablespace and try...

you can use following script to check whether coalesing is required or not..
If percent is < 100 then coalesce it..

select substr(tablespace_name,1,10)TS_NAME,total_extents
"Total_Extnts",extents_coalesced,round(percent_extents_coalesced,0)
from dba_free_space_coalesced
order by tablespace_name

All,

The following is the pitiable scenario I am in and would really appreciate a
bit of help :

  We were running a long running delete job which gave the following error :

 Oracle8 Enterprise Edition Release
8.0.5.2.1 - Production
PL/SQL Release 8.0.5.2.0 - Production
SQLWKS> EXECUTE
PKG_PAS_AnnualDataMaintenance.Delete_OldData (2000,
'/home/sqribe/work/live', '2000AnnualDataDelete.log');
ORA-01562: failed to extend rollback segment
number 8
ORA-01650: unable to extend rollback segment
RSUNDB08 by 50 in tablespace RSUN425
ORA-06512: at
"PAS.PKG_PAS_ANNUALDATAMAINTENANCE", line 66
ORA-06512: at line 2


  I don't understand why it ran out of rollback space. The rollback segment
has a virtually unlimited number of extents, so the only explanation I can
see is that this particular rollback segment expanded until it exceeded the
space allocation for the whole tablespace RSUN425, which is 3,000M. However,
Oracle Storage Manager shows only 200M of the tablespace used, and it also
shows high water marks against each rollback segment, none of which exceeds
400M. This would suggest to me that none of the previous month's deletions
exceeded 400M per month, so why should it fail on this particular one when
it had nearly 3,000M available?

Is there something I am not understanding about rollback segments ??

Thanks and Regards,
Samir

Re: Upgrading from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7 - Please help

This is definitely not a production db.  I was just told by Oracle that it 
is possible to migrate the 8.0.5 datafiles using 8.1.7 software. They say I 
do not need to install 8.0.5 on the "new" server.
Finding instructions in a document covering this is not easy!

Hi,

I have just given my oracle 9i upgrade exam. I was
wondering which certification is best for me next -
Sun Solaris administration or JAVA certification ?
I have a 6+ years of Oracle, 4 years of Solaris

What do the Oracle gurus at this list think ? Which is

certification ?

RE: Upgrading from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7 - Please help

2002-02-12 Thread Kevin Lange

So, why could you not do just what he is asking ?If you have all the
files of the database (Cold Backup of everything), why could you not install
the 8.1.7 code and then run the migration tool ?  The installation of the
Oracle Binaries does not touch the database at all.

Obviously this WAS not a production database.
If you were not aware that a new OS was being installed and that Oracle was
being wiped out then
step 1 Get a competent SA

I do not know UNIX but I would think you have to
re-install 8.0.5,
do backup
restore 8.0.5 datafiles,redo,controlfiles,etc.
Modify controlfile to point to restored files

Once database is started then you can proceed to upgrade to 8.1.7

I do not think you can do
"can I simply install 8.1.7 and perform a migration using
8.1.7 on the old 8.0.5 datafiles?"

Hello list,
  I am attempting to upgrade my database from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7. I had the old

8.0.5 database on a SunOS 5.6 database.  I performed a full cold-backup of
the database.  The SA then did a rebuild on the server to upgrade the OS to

SunOS 5.8.  There is no Oracle software or data on the server now.
  My question is:  Now that I want to go to 8.1.7, do I have to first
install 8.0.5 and bring the database up prior to installing 8.1.7 and
upgrading, OR ... can I simply install 8.1.7 and perform a migration using
8.1.7 on the old 8.0.5 datafiles?  How does this work?

Thanks in advance,

  We referred the auditing option. My understanding is that 
  you can track the oracle users using database auditing feature once the 
  users are logged into the database. 
  But my requirement is to track the users who tried to 
  login to the database but could not login due to wrong password. 
  
  For example, somebody may know the connect string for an

What storage format?  If using filesystem files, I don't see how
there's any chance.  Even using raw devices it doesn't seem likely
possible since Sun partition slices and all.  Also, the data format
is different between diff. arches, but that may just be an endian
issue and these 2 big-endian arch's would be fine.  Not sure.

I'd give the probability rating around 1% at best :)

RE: Upgrading from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7 - Please help

2002-02-12 Thread Fred Smith

This is not a production database. It's just a reporting machine.
Which document are you referring to?  The migration guide for 8.0.5 or for 
8.1.7?  The 8.1.7 guide does not mention a migration process for a 
non-installed 8.0.5 software.  Does this matter?
Much thanks,

RE: Upgrading from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7 - Please help

2002-02-12 Thread Randy Kirkpatrick

Fred,

Don't waste your time installing 8.0.5 unless you plan to go back to it some
time in the future ("Back to the Future"?). Install 8.1.7 and patch to
8.1.7.2 (or higher).

Copy your datafiles to the new system. Make sure that you copy them to the
exact directory structure that existed previously! If you don't, you will
run into major difficulties, especially if you haven't done a backup control
file to trace!

Read all the documentation on the migration, and perform the migration which
should be relatively painless.

it really depends on what you want to do.

RE: Upgrading from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7 - Please help

2002-02-12 Thread Mercadante, Thomas F

Fred,

You can migrate your 805 to 817 directly.  You really need to read the
migration documentation - it is pretty straight forward, and will answer all
your questions.

You will be doing a migration on a test database first, right? - not the
first time on a production database - right?  You will be much happier.

If I were you, I would install 805 and 817 both on your machine (different
Oracle homes), create a test 805 db and try migrating it to 817 after you
have read everything - just to get the feel of it.

After that, migrate your production db, and when all is good, remove the 805
software.

good luck!

Joe, 
We referred the auditing option. My understanding is that 
you can track the oracle users using database auditing feature once the 
users are logged into the database. 
But my requirement is to track the users who tried to login 
to the database but could not login due to wrong password. 
For example, somebody may know the connect string for an 
oracle database and trying to login to the database as system user and with 
various combination of password. We like to know who are these 
users.

RE: DSD

2002-02-12 Thread Mark Leith

Not sure what you mean by DSD, but we provide a tool called the DataBee
DBATool, that reads an export file, and generates all of the DLL for the
objects within a schema, or the database on the whole (from a FULL export,
generated with the ROWS=N option). You can then either document the DDL
through HTML pages, or generate SQL scripts to regenerate the schema, as
well as creating rules to strip storage clauses etc.

There is a free version of this tool available from:

http://www.cool-tools.co.uk/Products/Downloads/dbatool020001.exe

As it reads an export file, there is no need to log in to any database at
any time..

Re: Upgrading from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7 - Please help

2002-02-12 Thread Rick_Cale


Obviously this WAS not a production database.
If you were not aware that a new OS was being installed and that Oracle was
being wiped out then
step 1 Get a competent SA

I do not know UNIX but I would think you have to
re-install 8.0.5,
do backup
restore 8.0.5 datafiles,redo,controlfiles,etc.
Modify controlfile to point to restored files

Once database is started then you can proceed to upgrade to 8.1.7

I do not think you can do
"can I simply install 8.1.7 and perform a migration using
8.1.7 on the old 8.0.5 datafiles?"

Which certification for Oracle DBA ???

2002-02-12 Thread Jason Rowski

Hi,

I have just given my oracle 9i upgrade exam. I was
wondering which certification is best for me next -
Sun Solaris administration or JAVA certification ?
I have a 6+ years of Oracle, 4 years of Solaris
experience and 6 months JAVA experience.

What do the Oracle gurus at this list think ? Which is
better - Sun Solaris administration or JAVA
certification ?

Thanks
Jason

"NOT EXISTS" and "<>"  equals "must be at least one"

Right ?

Zsolt,

Try:

select a.something
,c.searchvalue

   from a,
b,
c
  where a.a= b.a
and b.b1= c.b1
and b.b2= c.b2
and c.searchvalue= 'first one' and
and not exists(select 1 from c c1
 where c1.b1 = c.b1
 and   c1.b2 = c.b2
 and   c1.searchvalue<> 'second one')
the above presumes that the columns b1 and b2 are part of the
identifying
columns for the c table.

hope this helps.

Hi,

I have the following sql:

select a.something
,c.searchvalue

   from a,
b,
c
  where a.a= b.a

and b.b1= c.b1
and b.b2= c.b2

and c.searchvalue= 'first one' and
c.searchvalue<> 'second one'

The problem is that if a company has a record with  c.searchvalue=
'first 
one' then the
query above list it although it has another record with c.searchvalue= 
'second one'


To be more precise : I need to get the companies that have searchvalue =

'first one' but I don't want
to see companies that has 'second one'. (the main problem is with
companies 
that have both values)


Thank you

It will not work. Look at the prerequisite for standby databases, it
will give you a fair idea of how far you can go in terms of

RE: Table Locks

2002-02-12 Thread Connor McDonald

If they are using DBMS_ALERT then since it uses
dbms_lock, it could be possible that the locking
problem is one of the application's making (not the
database).  I can't remember the specifics, but things
like a long gap between signalling the alert and the
subsequent commit rings a bell as a cause of "locking"
problems...

Oracle Migration Utility

Can anyone advise me on using the migration utility?
We are finally moving from 7.3.4 to 8.1.7. Has the
utility worked well for you? Known bugs? Any info
greatly appreciated.

THe history, if you want to know. We have been stuck
at 7.3.4 due to a lack of migration path for OPS on
SGI equipment. We are now installing a Sun 4800, and
will be ready to start testing the migration in March.

RE: Oracle Lite 8i as snapshot site

2002-02-12 Thread Szecsy Tamas

My probem was, that Oracle Support still does not seem to be able to answer
with a simple 'yes' or 'no', wether I can user Oracle Lite as a readonly
snapshot site. The Oracle Lite documenation is only talking about EE as a
must, but our cutomer has only SE licence. I would need only one way
replication ( SE >> Lite ), that is a readonly replication.

Dick - I believe that some replication is available in Standard Edition. My
company is looking to put Oracle in remote sites, with some modest
replication, and wanted to avoid the licensing penalty of EE. As I read the
Oracle document
http://technet.oracle.com/products/oracle9i/pdf/o9i_family_features.pdf
(table at the bottom), and it says SE has "Basic Replication" and EE has
"Advanced Replication". As I understand it, Basic Replication doesn't do
multi-master replication, but snapshot replication should be fine. If anyone
on the list can correct my understanding, because I certainly don't want to
get a nasty Oracle licensing correction.

Hi,

I would like to implement readonly replication on Oracle 8i Standard Edition
with Oracle Lite 8i snapshot sites. 

Is Oracle Lite different in any way form Oracle SE what read only
replication concerns? Can I run the same scripts for Oracle 8i as if I would
use Oracle 8i SE for the sanpshot site or do I have to modify them?

Ruth,
 If you are requesting info on parallel DML operations then you can
look at the V$PQ_STSSTAT, V_PQSESSTAT, V$PQ_TQSTAT views that show the
parallel executions are running in the database. Also the V$SESSION has
a column called PDML_ENABLED to display if parallel DML is enabled for
the session.
 The dba_tables.degree column will tell you the tables that were
created with the parallel (degree x) clause. 1 is the default.

logon failure auditing

I would like to audit all the database users upon

I know that someone must have been implemented similar
kind of auditing. Could you please share your
information with me.

At the same time I did create new profile and assign
it to all the database users. This new profile will
lock database users for about 15 Min. after three
successful logon failures.

Re: White space compression in Oracle

Title: White space compression in Oracle



Bjørn,
Aren't those semantics all host language based?  I haven't been 
working on Pro-X languages for a while, but I seem to recall that there were 
language options (switches, directives) on how the comparisons were 
done.  Also, you could easily move the data from one data type to another 
if needed.  In fact, in the early days, I remember VARCHAR2 was also 
blank-padded on output by default and trimmed when storing into the 
database.  Are you referring to more recent ANSI standards?  I believe 
you can still turn off the ANSI semantics if you want.
 
Marc.

White space compression in Oracle

Hi everyone,
I hope this isn't a silly question, but is 
there any way to make Oracle compress white space in tables.
I come from an RDB environment, and when you 
have a char(x) field in RDB, you can set the compression attribute on 
the table and any trailing white space in the char(x) column is 
compressed.
I've found when moving some tables with long 
char fields to Oracle, the tables take up much more space, I suspect 
because Oracle is not compressing trailing spaces.
Because of other constraints, I'm not able to 
change the fields to varchar2.
Thanks for your help,
Beth


RE: White space compression in Oracle

2002-02-12 Thread Ji, Richard
Title: White space compression in Oracle



Note 
VARCHAR and CHAR uses different comparison semantics.  With CHAR the 
shorter one is padded with spaces up to the same length as the longer one and a 
byte by byte comparison is used.  VARCHAR uses a none padded 
method.

Moving Oracle Binaries from HP to SUN

2002-02-12 Thread Robert Pegram

Has anyone done the following:

Create a db using Oracle Loaded on an HP Server 
- The datafiles, controlfiles, etc will be on EMC

Later, 
Install the oracle binaries on a SUN Server, basically
unplug the HP from the SYMM, and plug in the SUN and
bring up the database.

I was asked this yesterday because some of the sun
hardware is on back order, and they want to put the
project in production before the parts will arrive. 
There is a spare HP server (bought for another
project) they can use until the parts arrive.

I am awaiting an official response from Oracle, but
thought I would get your input.

TIA,
Robert Pegram - EDS
Oracle DBA

Here is a shell script I use in UNIX, restrict_and_kill.  I included the sql

excludes users with restricted session access and puts the database into
restricted session mode.  You can modify these scripts to suit your needs.

Upgrading from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7 - Please help

2002-02-12 Thread Fred Smith

Hello list,
  I am attempting to upgrade my database from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7. I had the old 
8.0.5 database on a SunOS 5.6 database.  I performed a full cold-backup of 
the database.  The SA then did a rebuild on the server to upgrade the OS to 
SunOS 5.8.  There is no Oracle software or data on the server now.
  My question is:  Now that I want to go to 8.1.7, do I have to first 
install 8.0.5 and bring the database up prior to installing 8.1.7 and 
upgrading, OR ... can I simply install 8.1.7 and perform a migration using 
8.1.7 on the old 8.0.5 datafiles?  How does this work?

Thanks in advance,
  -Fred S.

RE: parallel execution

2002-02-12 Thread Mercadante, Thomas F

Ruth,

You can look in USER_TABLES/DBA_TABLES at the DEGREE column.  This will give
you the number of parallel processes to use for the table.  It is also in
the USER_INDEXES/DBA_INDEXES view.

You can set this values by issuing an:  Alter table {tablename} parallel 2;

Hope this helps

Hi all

We are running on 8.0.5.2.1 database. Once we had a database creash and was
restored. After that the users have been experiencing locks. What happens is
when one user locks some rows, other users are also getting stuck. But they
are not locking the same rows. We are looking at the code to see whether any
unusual things are there. One of the programs in the system uses DBMS_ALERT.


How can we find more information - what rows are being locked, and any other
relevant info about locks?

Is there any ways in which a row locks turns out to be a table lock ?

RE: Table Locks

2002-02-12 Thread K Gopalakrishnan

What is the PCTFREE setting for the tables? Hope it is not 0.


Here is the quote form one of my article which explains this behavior

--BEGIN QUOTE

Each datablock will have an Interested Transaction List (ITL) that holds the
transaction id of that block during the life cycle of the transaction
modifying that datablock. A transaction, which modifies a record in the
datablock, must get an ITL slot in that datablock. The number of ITL slots
in a datablock is defined by the INITRANS (which defaults 1 for data blocks
and 2 for index blocks) and MAXTRANS.

While formatting a new block Oracle creates the transaction slots specified
by INITRANS parameter. MAXTRANS specifies maximum number of ITLs created for
a datablock and it defaults to 255. In practice you don’t need more MAXTRANS
unless your AVG_ROW_LENGTH is very small and the segment is frequently
updated.

The creation of additional Interested Transaction Lists (ITL) slots is
subject to free space in the datablock because each ITL takes approximately
24 bytes of free space in the variable header of that datablock. Initial
space reserved by INITRANS cannot be reused for data insertion. But if a
datablock is fully packed due to less PCTFREE or PCTFREE=0 and when two
transactions are accessing the same block, one has to wait till the
transaction commits (or rollbacks). Here row level locks are escalated in to
block level locks.


---END QUOTE---


And I don't see any reason for row locks becoming table locks unless you
have an un indexed foreign key.

Hi all

We are running on 8.0.5.2.1 database. Once we had a database creash and was
restored. After that the users have been experiencing locks. What happens is
when one user locks some rows, other users are also getting stuck. But they
are not locking the same rows. We are looking at the code to see whether any
unusual things are there. One of the programs in the system uses DBMS_ALERT.


How can we find more information - what rows are being locked, and any other
relevant info about locks?

Is there any ways in which a row locks turns out to be a table lock ?

Thanks

Helmut,
 
X$ 
tables are NEVER stored in the disk. THey are just memory structures in the SGA 
and the contents are zeroed (are reset) when you shutdown the database. THey

  Hi! 
  I was wondering whether the Oracle data dictionary gets

  granting tons of rights through grants directly to a user (and later revoke 
  them), does the data dictionary get fragmented (i.e. the x$ tables that hold

  Same thing with creating tons of temporary tables that are

  fragment the dd?
  This is 8.1.7 on Sun Solaris.

RE: Oracle Lite 8i as snapshot site

2002-02-12 Thread DENNIS WILLIAMS

Dick - I believe that some replication is available in Standard Edition. My
company is looking to put Oracle in remote sites, with some modest
replication, and wanted to avoid the licensing penalty of EE. As I read the
Oracle document
http://technet.oracle.com/products/oracle9i/pdf/o9i_family_features.pdf
(table at the bottom), and it says SE has "Basic Replication" and EE has
"Advanced Replication". As I understand it, Basic Replication doesn't do
multi-master replication, but snapshot replication should be fine. If anyone
on the list can correct my understanding, because I certainly don't want to
get a nasty Oracle licensing correction.

I would like to implement readonly replication on Oracle 8i Standard Edition
with Oracle Lite 8i snapshot sites. 

Is Oracle Lite different in any way form Oracle SE what read only
replication concerns? Can I run the same scripts for Oracle 8i as if I would
use Oracle 8i SE for the sanpshot site or do I have to modify them?

Yes, the sequence has a cache of 1000 values right now (the table
gets a good number of rows added :)  The behavior that I'm seeing across
my stored procedures is that even my non-SYS recursive sql isn't being
cached (the soft parses are still happening).  Admittedly, there's very
little looping going on (like the previous procedure that just does the
insert-returning/commit), but the soft parse on each exec is still bad.

I did, level 12 - that's why the itrprof output has information on wait
events.  I didn't include the bind information in the itrprof because
it 1) didn't appear to be relevant 2) kept the size of the itrprof much
more reasonable.  If there are different itrprof options that would be
more helpful, I still have the raw trace around and would be happy to
re-run it.

Thanks!
