Buf Hit Ratio
I am running the following (Oracle suggested - 8i) query to get the biffer hit ratio. This is our production Apps database.

RE: Foreign Objects in the System Tablespace.
Jay, I always set up my production databases having SYSTEM, SYS, and DBSNMP with default tblsp of SYSTEM; SYS gets temp tblsp of TEMP. Users like ORACLE, OUTLN, TRACESVR, ORDSYS, etc. get TOOLS tblsp for default (and TEMP for temp tblsp). I have never had any problems doing it this way.

RE: Oracle Replication - is it "on" by default?
Paul - The only book I've found specific to Oracle replication is: Oracle Distributed Systems by Charles Dye. It is pretty good. Replication isn't the easiest thing to learn. The fundamental questions to ask are: is your application designed to work with replication? Are you just trying to replicate for reporting purposes? Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc.

Consequently I know nothing whatsoever about Oracle Replication. Now I've been asked whether or not we use Oracle Replication and, if so, whether it can be disabled. So can anyone tell me whether Replication is a feature automatically included in Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition? And is there an easy way of telling whether or not it's "on"? If it's "on", can it be turned "off" (if that's a meaningful question!), and if so, how? I've tried briefly RTFMing, but although the manuals contain a wealth of info about how to use Replication, I can see nothing about how to tell whether it's active or not, and how to switch it on or off.

Your input to RMAN should be a script or "here" list. Scrap the shell
script, put your "run" script into a file, run RMAN from the command line
and call the rman "run" script that you just created.. Also, set
NLS_DATE_FORMAT and NLS_LANG. Depending on your database version the
"to_date" function will not work as you have it in "set until time".

Dear All,
I am totally out of my depth here and this is a production db which needs to
be restored urgently.
I shall explain my scenario first. Our application team had lost some data
after last Wednesday night's
backup. They have a tool to have a dump of the data from the database from
which they can extract the
data if needed. This dump was taken on Thursday morning. Due to some ***hole
they lost some more data
on Thursday during the day. They recovered this data from the database dump
which they had taken on
Thursday morning.
They now want the data which was lost on Wednesday. Since there was no
database dump available prior to
this, I suggested that we can create a duplicate database upto a point of
time (as on Wednesday night) to a
different location on the server. They could then take a database dump with
their tool and extract the lost records.
This is my script which I compiled with help from Metalink and an old
post from John Hallas (the backup of our target database is taken on tape
with Veritas Netbackup) :

Re: Another RMAN Problem ---> Urgent !!
I'm hoping that you have a "sev 1" TAR open on this, as well. Keep
pestering them if you haven't had a response; keep the TAR status at
"IMMEDIATE RESPONSE REQUIRED" (by responding multiple times) whenever you
hit the ball back to them. Also, be sure that all relevant facts are
recorded online through MetaLink, in case this later degenerates into a
finger-pointing game. You cannot play that game with verbal records...
---
You are connecting both TARGET and AUXILIARY to the same database instance
(i.e. "/"). For a DUPLICATE DATABASE operation, you don't have to connect
to the TARGET at all, if I recall correctly; a DUPLICATE DATABASE operation
doesn't involve the TARGET. Sounds funny, until you consider that the
operation is reading from tape to the new AUXILIARY database instance.
For the AUXILIARY, be sure that you have already created another empty
database instance (using most of the TARGET databases "init.ora" parms, with
obvious exceptions like CONTROL_FILE) which is started up NOMOUNT before
starting this DUPLICATE DATABASE operation.
If what I suspect is correct, then I think you ought to be *glad* that RMAN
just "hung" instead of following its directions! Of course, a relevant
error message would a lot *nicer* than just "hanging" that way...

Re: data block stockage capacity
It is truly impossible to calculate the exact "storage capacity" for an Oracle database block, for several reasons: * some data structures (ITLs, table chart, row chart, etc) grow and shrink due to the current state of transactions on rows in the block * uncommited DELETEs and UPDATEs which shrink a row "reserve" their space until COMMIT or ROLLBACK, again forming a dependency on the current state of transactions on rows in the block * most importantly, most Oracle datatypes (except DATEs and CHARs) are variable-length, adjusting the length dependent on data values PCTUSED is merely a threshold value, the percentage value under which used-space in the block must fall in order to return to the free list. Personally, I just tend to round the DB_BLOCK_SIZE down to the nearest "000" (i.e. 8192 down to 8000) in my own mind. It's far from scientific and far from exact, but when it's impossible to be exact, who cares? If you are trying to estimate how much space X rows of a specific table are going to consume, the best (and easiest) method is extrapolation. Obtain a relatively small sample of data (i.e. 10,000 rows), insert them into a table previously truncated (with DROP STORAGE) and then ANALYZE COMPUTE the table. The value of BLOCKS is the number of blocks populated. The value of "#-rows/BLOCKS" is your average density of rows per block, so take the number of rows you eventually expect (i.e. "X") and divide that by the average density of rows per block to get the expected number of blocks. Sure, the last populated block in the table might be "short" a few rows, so if you feel like correcting for that, you can do so by querying FILE# and BLOCK# from the ROWID and doing a GROUP BY to COUNT(*) the number of rows per block. Usually you'll find that the highest block is a little short by "Y" rows, so recalculate using something like "(10,000 - Y) / (BLOCKS - 1)"... It's just as accurate as any other method and a helluva lot faster and easier to calculate.

RE: Another RMAN Problem ---> Urgent !!
Hi Samir,
Have you got your environment variables set up correctly. These would be the
following ones
export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
export NB_ORA_SERV=server name
export NB_ORA_CLIENT=client name
export NB_ORA_SCHED=
export NB_ORA_CLASS=
These will all be set up in the rman backup scripts (I expect)

Dear All,
I am totally out of my depth here and this is a production db which needs to
be restored urgently.
I shall explain my scenario first. Our application team had lost some data
after last Wednesday night's
backup. They have a tool to have a dump of the data from the database from
which they can extract the
data if needed. This dump was taken on Thursday morning. Due to some ***hole
they lost some more data
on Thursday during the day. They recovered this data from the database dump
which they had taken on
Thursday morning.
They now want the data which was lost on Wednesday. Since there was no
database dump available prior to
this, I suggested that we can create a duplicate database upto a point of
time (as on Wednesday night) to a
different location on the server. They could then take a database dump with
their tool and extract the lost records.
This is my script which I compiled with help from Metalink and an old
post from John Hallas (the backup of our target database is taken on tape
with Veritas Netbackup) :
#!/bin/ksh
rman target / catalog rman_sid1/rman_sid1@rman817 auxiliary /

Your input to RMAN should be a script or "here" list. Scrap the shell script, put
your "run" script into a file, run RMAN from the command line and call the rman "run"
script that you just created.. Also, set NLS_DATE_FORMAT and NLS_LANG. Depending on
your database version the "to_date" function will not work as you have it in "set

Jared, I was going to respond, but you did a great job for me. Your points were my points exactly. I really tried to go to the SQL*Server class with an open mind thinking "I'm adding a skill set", but I found myself constantly comparing to Oracle. I didn't mean to start the Holy War again, but thought it would make an interesting conversation. A bit more: Having databases in noarchivelog mode, especially during batch loads for data warehouses/datamarts is extremely important for a large database shop like ours. In terms of RAID, I was just pointing out that while we mirror our redo logs to at least two different groups with two different members, I was shocked that the transaction log in SQL*Server was in no way mirrored by SQL*Server. It was either do it at the hardware/OS level or risk it. Not a "Mission Critical" mentality. As for transferring 10GB over the network, this would be just backing up our archive logs, not to mention the datafiles themselves. We do it every day around the clock using our tape silo. We use RMAN with hotbackups directly to tape via Veritas NetBackup enterprise wide. 10GB is trivial in the Oracle world, however, judging by the response I got, not so trivial in the SQL*Server world. One last thing: Having been to the Oracle education classes, I was expecting to learn in depth how SQL*Server uses memory to buffer the database, shared SQL, etc. thinking this would be a major tuning strategy for SQL*Server. Based on the nature of your system, you could gear the equivalent of an SGA accordingly. I almost spit up my two cups of coffee when the instructor showed me the GUI slide-bar that controls memory allocation to SQL*Server. "If you need more, just slide the bar to the right..." I still chuckle... Jim Hawkins Oracle Database Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Couldn't resist responding to this. > >*Cannot take DB out of "archivelog" mode.

Foreign Objects in the System Tablespace.
I am trying to determine what Oracle "officially" considers foreign objects in the SYSTEM tablespace. If you check out Note 122669.1, section 7.1, Oracle recommends a query to find foreign objects in your system tablespace. This query will report such users as: AURORA$JIS$UTILITY$ CTXSYS MDSYS ORDSYS OSE$HTTP$ADMIN OUTLN It is part of our normal procedures to setup a TOOLS tablespace, and set this as the default tablespace for the user SYSTEM. Objects such as SQLPLUS_PRODUCT_PROFILE will be created in this tablespace. I've browsed around MetaLink and posted in one of the forums, but I'm not really getting any concrete answers as to which users should be permitted to have objects in the SYSTEM tablespace. I do know that it is OK to move OUTLN to another tablespace. Comments would be appreciated.

Re:Please help resolving report generation performance probl
Three words: TUNE THE SQL. Database performance is 80% SQL Tuning and 20% database tuning. It would sound like you've got a statement or two that is doing a whole bunch of full table scans, probably somewhere inside a nested loop. Take a look inside $ORACLE_HOME\sqlplus\admin for the plustrce.sql file. If you've no tuning tools it will help. Dick Goulet Reply Separator Author: "Denmark Weatherburne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 4/7/2002 10:18 AM Hi DBA's, I've been trying to isolate the bottleneck with our Oracle database. I work as an Oracle DBA for the Government of a developing country (Belize). Recently, as it is income tax time, the department has to reconcile all witholdings by the employer with their payment receipt records. This involves some data entry and a report generation by employer (witholder) which lists all witholdings by each employee. This report can generate lots of pages depending on the number of employees. In some cases, the report has to be run overnight, as it takes too long (several hours) to generate. I've tried giving more resources to Oracle. I've tried creating a copy of the production database on another machine to use only for generating reports. I've increased the size and number of rollback segments. I've tuned some parameters. However, I have not observed any significant improvement in the report generation performance. I know tuning the SQL might be required, however, I don't have much experience in this area. The SQL statemements were written by consultants who have long left. We do have the source code though.

RE: Another RMAN Problem ---> Urgent !!
Samir,
It looks like your Rman commands are not being passed to Rman, and are
instead being executed by ksh.
Try moving all of your Rman command into a separate file, and changing your
rman command to:
rman target / catalog rman_sid1/rman_sid1@rman817 auxiliary / cmdfile (rman
command file name) msglog {output log file name)
I know there is ane asier way to do this within ksh, but this would be the
fastest way for me.
hope this helps.

Dear All,
I am totally out of my depth here and this is a production db which needs to
be restored urgently.
I shall explain my scenario first. Our application team had lost some data
after last Wednesday night's
backup. They have a tool to have a dump of the data from the database from
which they can extract the
data if needed. This dump was taken on Thursday morning. Due to some ***hole
they lost some more data
on Thursday during the day. They recovered this data from the database dump
which they had taken on
Thursday morning.
They now want the data which was lost on Wednesday. Since there was no
database dump available prior to
this, I suggested that we can create a duplicate database upto a point of
time (as on Wednesday night) to a
different location on the server. They could then take a database dump with
their tool and extract the lost records.
This is my script which I compiled with help from Metalink and an old
post from John Hallas (the backup of our target database is taken on tape
with Veritas Netbackup) :
#!/bin/ksh

Re: Oracle Replication - is it "on" by default?
I believe the scripts to create the various stored procedures come with the Enterprise Edition but Replication is not something that Oracle does on its own.

Oracle Replication - is it "on" by default?
Hi folks, we've never identified any requirement here for using any kind of replication. Consequently I know nothing whatsoever about Oracle Replication. Now I've been asked whether or not we use Oracle Replication and, if so, whether it can be disabled. So can anyone tell me whether Replication is a feature automatically included in Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition? And is there an easy way of telling whether or not it's "on"? If it's "on", can it be turned "off" (if that's a meaningful question!), and if so, how? I've tried briefly RTFMing, but although the manuals contain a wealth of info about how to use Replication, I can see nothing about how to tell whether it's active or not, and how to switch it on or off. Any pointers, please, anyone?

( * @ % & = - + < / > at in mod not rem then <> or != or ~= >= <= <> and or like betwe.. when I compile the whole procedure. Please help me with this. (If the borttags_flagg = 1 then it will continue the loop and check for next one. etc... If A'||AvdNr||'.ICA_ARTIKEL@'||LookUpServerName|| 'BORTTAGS_FLAGG = 0 '' || then (this lvsql is to be run only if field borttags_flagg = 0) lvSQL := 'SELECT ICA_ARTIKEL.FSGPRIS,ICA_ARTIKEL.BORTTAGS_FLAGG,ICA_ARTIKEL.PANTBELOPP ' || --PBK.LPKORGEANREL.EANREL,PBK.LPKORGEANREL.VARUTYP ' || 'FROM A'||AvdNr||'.ICA_ARTIKEL@'||LookUpServerName|| ' ' || --PBK.LPKORGEANREL ' || 'WHERE ICA_ARTIKEL.EAN=' || EanLPVara || ' ' || 'AND ICA_ARTIKEL.DATUM testplsql.SQL Description: Binary data

AW: two listeners problem ???
What's about PORT 2481 for GIOP, I think you also have to use different ports for GIOP (2481 für LISTENER817 and 2482 for LISTENER816). regards Volker Schoen E-Mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.inplan.de -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Janet Linsy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Samstag, 6. April 2002 08:08 An: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Betreff: two listeners problem ??? Hi, I have two databases ORCL817 and ORCL816 in version 817, 816 on the same machine Sun 5.7. I'd like to configure seperate listener for each database. I used different port, listener name (1521 and LISTENER817 for ORCL817 , 1522 and LISTENER816 for ORCL816), but somehow the listener on 1522 cannot be started. Why??? Here is the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora for both database: listener.ora for 816 = LISTENER816 = (DESCRIPTION_LIST = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = gatech-denver1)(PORT = 1522)) ) ) (DESCRIPTION = (PROTOCOL_STACK = (PRESENTATION = GIOP) (SESSION = RAW) ) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = gatech-denver1)(PORT = 2481)) ) ) SID_LIST_LISTENER = (SID_LIST = (SID_DESC = (GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORCL816) (ORACLE_HOME = /export/apps/oracle/admin/product/8.1.6) (SID_NAME = ORCL816) ) tnsnames.ora for 816 = ORCL816 = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = gatech-denver1)(PORT = 1522)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL816) ) ) listener.ora for 817 = LISTENER817 = (DESCRIPTION_LIST = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = gatech-denver1)(PORT = 1521)) ) ) (DESCRIPTION = (PROTOCOL_STACK = (PRESENTATION = GIOP) (SESSION = RAW) ) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = gatech-denver1)(PORT = 2481)) ) ) SID_LIST_LISTENER = (SID_LIST = (SID_DESC = (GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORCL817) (ORACLE_HOME = /export/apps/oracle/admin/product/8.1.7) (SID_NAME = ORCL817) ) ) tnsnames.ora = ORCL817 = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = gatech-denver1)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL817) ) ) Anyone knows what went wrong?
