RE: Another RMAN Problem --- Urgent !!
Hi Note: I'm still testing RMAN and not using it If you have more than one database managed by the same repository you need to somhow tell RMAN which database to duplicate. Connecting to the one to duplicate sounds like an option. Also RMAN is capable of duplicating upto the current time isn't it? Than it needs the online logfiles no??

Enterprise Manager (EM) Questions
* While installing EM 9i, it asked to creating a separate database for its repository to which I said Yes. Now the problem is that the database tools like SQL*Plus and SQL Workseet defaults to EM Repository database and not the original one. How do I specify the database name for database tools to connect to. Please note that (The developer/2000 applications/tools however connect to the right database perhaps because the connect string was created to the database before installing EM). * When I start EM with Login to Management Server, it does not seem to recognize the username/password. The stand alone does start and shows both the databases. The error it reports is VTK-1000 * Does EM allow importing 8i export file to 9i, if it doesn't is there any other GUI for that? TIA!

Re: Oracle Replication - is it on by default?
Hello Paul Open the replication manager and check there if you have replication working. I concur with Rachel. If you have replication you WILL remember activating it. Yechiel Adar Mehish - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 3:13 PM 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?

RE: this is how i created mount points - AIX
Yes, you're right in your assumption. There are more complex ways to do this but for a 3 disk setup I think you're wise to keep things simple. I don't see any reason to put each LV in a separate VG though. One point I'd make is that you might like to look at raw devices for at least your online redos. Anything you can do to reduce disk contention is bound to be a good thing with so few spindles available.

RE: SQL : where clause to include data for the previous 24 hours
Johan, There is no need to convert sysdate to a string and back to a data. I'm not sure what you mean by calculate the previous 24 hours when a query is run and bump the time by 6 hours. It looks like you are trying to retrieve all records that have a date/time within the last 18 hours - is this correct? if so, then your query would be: where event_date (sysdate + 6/24) - 1 The default date format really has nothing to do with how the dates are stored within the database - they are all stored the same way. This means you can do simple date math like above. Hope this is what you are looking for.

I appreciate the support several people on this list provided me. In return, here are some of the main points I learned. - For smaller systems, investigate whether Oracle Standard Edition will meet your requirements. For example, most people assume that to use replication, you need EE. For our purposes the basic replication that comes with SE was adequate. - Microsoft also offers SQL in both EE and SE versions. Thanks very much to Gints Plivna for providing me a feature-by-feature comparison between the different versions. MS SE is not equivalent to Oracle SE. In most cases, the more valid comparison is between MS SQL EE and Oracle SE. - For maintenance, there are two parts to consider: Upgrade privilege and support. Oracle bundles both of these together. Make sure Microsoft is priced with Software Assurance, which gives upgrade privilege. Microsoft prices support by the incident or by the location (all Microsoft software). I was never able to get a comparison. - MS SQL EE with Software Assurance is actually more expensive than Oracle SE. Priced by the CPU. - Since pricing is by CPU and RISC systems offer higher database performance (according to many people on this list) and Oracle offers higher performance in a head-to-head comparison (according to the recently published Eweek benchmark), I compared Oracle SE on a 1-CPU Sun box with MS SQL on a 2-CPU Intel box. The Intel box was cheaper, but those two CPUs really kill you on licensing! In my mind I am convinced that both setups could offer equivalent performance. - I was provided figures that the average DBA salary (including health, vacation, etc.) on Oracle is $85,000 and on MS SQL $68,500.

Re: Pl/sql question - if statement

Maybe You can use some coding style other than chaotic?
It helps in debugging, believe me.

RE: Export taking to long
Ron, you're taking a lot of steps that I would take myself. Which part of the machine starts to glow when you run this? I'll assume that the target file is not on a disk that's shared with any database files. Running sar for the first few minutes of the export will probably show you where your bottleneck is. I'd suspect disks or memory so sar -du would probably do to give you a steer. Do you have any Oracle wait statistics for the period it was running? BTW Ron, when you run that export are you sure that your password is hidden? It should show up on the process list if you run it like that.

RE: RE: Fairly Boring News Article on Oracle
I have worked with a little with PeopleSoft and a lot with J.D. Edwards OneWorld. Also have worked with a lot of people who have worked with them all. I know the finance guys, the sales order guys, inventory etc...My experience is that most of them agree the OneWorld is very capable of being configured to model current business practices without too many mods. From an administration standpoint you will usually only need 1 DBA and 1 CNC (App admin) once you stabilized in production mode. Selling widgets is selling widgets so the idea that you must have a custom tailored application to suit an individual business's is not that really that common. Products like JDE at least have done a good job of allowing you to configure how the application works. Ethan Post perotdba (AIM), epost1 (Yahoo) -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 10:18 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Patrice, Since we're in the middle of a PeopleSoft implementation I can say that I agree with the comments in the articles. If you buy one of these prebuilt packages you have the problem of either re-inventing your business or trying to modify the package to meet your requirements. Option 1 is troublesome at best since you may well have to re-orientate people and practices from years of what they were use to. Ugly to say the least. Now option 2 is more like skating on paper thin ice. PeopleSoft is 'modifiable' but there are a lot of other ramifications that one has to think about, like upgrades. The closer to 'plain vanilla' you can stay the better. The farther away you get, the less the vendor supports you and the harder (and longer) upgrades become. SAP and Oracle do not lend themselves to modification. SAP just because those Germans know best (so I've been told by those with experience) and Oracle because it just plain does not fit. What are people doing, PeopleSoft or else roll your own. Now Oracle does make a decent tool set for the later in Designer and Developer. Personally I would prefer that they drop the apps and concentrate on the tools and database.

RE: Export taking to long
I am just throwing these quickly ... how large are your rollback segments? Consistent=y means Oracle has to remember every data block that existed at the time your export began. I haven't seen recordlength= before, is this the equivalent of the older buffer= parameter? Here I often set buffer= to 100, we have enough memory on our server to handle it and I don't have to worry too much about record lengths. This is probably silly too -- your server is not paging, I hope.

Check your quotes. Better yet, create a variable as the string then check
the variable.
If I understand your code, the first line would look like this:

RE: Fairly Boring News Article on Oracle
***inline... Scott Shafer San Antonio, TX 210-581-6217 -Original Message- From: Boivin, Patrice J [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] I think this is good news, Oracle accepting these user groups. *** Assimilation can not be far off. This is a bad thing. So much for an independent viewpoint. It's probably the most cost-efficient, effective way for Oracle to get honest feedback on how to improve their products. *** Aka, get the marketing materials to damagement types who skulk to techie conferences like parasitic leeches. Oracle doesn't care about honest feedback - just selling more product. Hence the mafia/drug dealer like pricing scale and sales tactics. The better their products, the more successful they will be it seems to me. *** Wrong. See above. The more people who buy their products, the more successful they will be.

RE: Fairly Boring News Article on Oracle
No way! I'd say that web services are a collection of standards that allow HTTP-borne remote procedure calls between clients and servers. It's all XML objects under the skin, if I understand it correctly. The theory is that neither client nor server need to run any specific brand of software, nor know about things like what OS is running on either end, etc. Servers just have to be able to listen for HTTP requests, act on them respond with XML streams of the expected format. Everybody codes to these standards and boom--instant firewall-permeable interoperability for all. So the server could be as you specify below, or could be IIS using .Net, or anything else that will emit properly formatted XML streams. Clients can be anything that can make sense of the server's output stream--Java, custom coded C++, or what-have-you. But I'm probably wrong about at least some of that...

Which part of the machine starts to glow when you run this? I'll assume that the target file is not on a disk that's shared with any database files. Running sar for the first few minutes of the export will probably show you where your bottleneck is. I'd suspect disks or memory so sar -du would probably do to give you a steer. Do you have any Oracle wait statistics for the period it was running? BTW Ron, when you run that export are you sure that your password is hidden?

rman views one other rman question - long, sorry
Hello everyone, I'm digging through rman again. Wish I had more time to do this ongoing. I've looked at the v$views in the past, but didn't dig into them too deeply. Now that my backup strategy is backup to disk - wait for media manager to take files to tape, I'll need to be able to intelligently tell my SA what files I need should a restore become necessary. I don't have the luxury of a recovery catalog. However, it looks as if the v$ views in the target database will tell me what I need to know. Has anyone ever seen an erd or some documentation stating the relationship between these views? I know that the important ones (so far - v$backup_set, v$backup_datafile, v$backup_redolog, v$backup_piece) are related by set_stamp and set_count. I'd like to be able to create an erd for the dba that will be covering when I'm out on leave. Does v$log_history relate back in somehow? Another thing I'm looking at is deleting old backups. I've been messing with the CHANGE command but it only references backupset and backuppiece. Would I have to give this command for every archive log that I am ready to get rid of? Or is there a twist to this command that will get rid of the backup piece that contains the archive logs?

RE: Using OID
Hi Rich, Thanks much for detailed information. I was glad to see an OID implementation out in the field. Couple of more questions: I know TNSNAMES.ORA can be replaced by OID, but have you taken the next step and migrated Oracle accounts to OID? We are looking at OID to centralize user management tasks that have become very resource intensive, given large number of Oracle databases at our site. I was researching Oracle web sites and other sites, but didn't find any white paper about OID and centralized user management. Sure, our goal is to have single-sign-on, but our applications are not SSO compliant yet, and are not going to be SSO-compliant any time soon. So, we are looking at only migrating accounts to OID if that's possible. Could OID be used as a centralize authentication repository? Does it require applications modifications? Any experience with this task? Thanks, Jay -Original Message- Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 4:48 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L OiD! After several weeks of pain, here's what I've learned: 1) Create your database(s) manually. The GUI creates the traditional the least we need to get it going without a real DBA database. Note 159031.1 on Metalink will guide you thru the basic create. 2) If you intend on using replication (a good idea), study up on Oracle ASR, but realize that OiD doesn't use ASR in the traditional way, at least according to Oracle Support. In other words, if OiD has problems replicating, it's an OiD problem and not an ASR problem, as far as Oracle Support is concerned. 3) According to Oracle Support, you cannot use hot backups as a reliable means of backup/recovery for OiD in a replicated environment. While I agree with their reasoning in theory, I believe that a good DBA (and me, too!) can still use it, but with care on the recovery. For more info, see the OiD Admin Guide. 4) Speaking of the OiD Admin Guide: Read it, learn it, study it, know it. All 688 pages of it. The concepts in there are KEY! The one that burned me is the concept of a Remote Definition Site (RDS). You're primary server is the MDS (Master Definition Site). We tried to treat our second backup OiD server as a read-only. Don't do it. Treat all other replication nodes as RDSs. It will save you tons of headaches. 5) Why isn't RDS mentioned specifically in the OiD Admin Guide? Because of a lack of coherent documentation. Lookup all the articles you can on Metalink regarding OiD. Some haven't been updated for v3, but they're still good. 6) Do not use any version below 3.0.1 of OiD, which requires (and comes with) Oracle 9i. We had too many bugs, especially in the OiD Administrator program with v2.x. 7) Use Linux. There are some nasty little gotchas in NT/2000 that I really despise (keep reading). 8) Only use an Oracle Certified platform and version of the OS. Oracle Support will have a cow udderwise. 9+) Use scripts to startup and shutdown OiD. If you try and do it manually and shut the oidmon down before the LDAP and replication daemons, the daemons won't shutdown. On Linux, you can restart the oidmon, and the daemons should shutdown, but on NT/2000 they will hang there forever until you re-freaking-boot. Who writes this crap? There's no rebooting on Linux/Unix! I haven't tried OiD on Unix (I think OiD v3's available on HP/Solaris), so I can't say what'll happen there. As an aside, many OiD tools are Unix/Linux shell script, which are not directly available on Windohs. Just another reason to avoid Windows for OiD. 10) I just started to test moving from ONames to OiD. Apparently there's no way to create the OracleContext LDAP tree manually, so you've got to use the Oracle Net Config Assist (netca). I'm trying to determine if the update it does to the OiD DBs schwanzes up the rest of OiD first before continuing. I intend to make my creation of a replicated OiD setup on RedHat 7.1 available on my website, but I just haven't had the time yet, and my PC and Alpha/Linux box are sitting on a concrete slab at home while I redo my basement. :( HTH!

Re: Rman ... what do YOU need
Robert, Put me on the list for a copy when you finish. Seriously, It is a needed book that will make sense of the information presented in the doc's. A down to earth instruction manual that explains in real terms the usage and options for RMAN. Lisa posed a question about the different views and their interrelations and she wanted to know about deleting old backup sets when you do not use a catalog. It seams that Oracle docs only talk about using a catalog. A lot of us do not have the need for a catalog and tying the command to the non catalog RMAN would be helpful. Answer to simple question like: Do have to use RMAN to backup my read only tablespaces? How do I get the tape drive to work with RMAN? How do I perform a database backup when I only have 5 GIG free space and the data is 20 GIG? If I use OEM to run the backups can I have my OMS on the same server? Does OEM backup use RMAN in a GUI form? Can I use RMAN to restore a database that was backup up with OEM backup? Just a few questions that are encountered each day as we go through the process of backing up our data.

RE: Rman ... what do YOU need
How about an exhaustive list of differences between running with a catalog and without. In the documentation it is so brief. It also seems that the disadvantages of running nocatalog are becoming less and less. I flipped out at first when I found out I wouldn't have another license (and therefore no rcat) but the more I read about it, the more I saw it was OK. There's even a note on Metalink about how to perform TSPITR without a catalog with one of the more recent versions. ???

Differences between Oracle JDBC thin and thick drivers
Hello all, I have a question concerning the Oracle JDBC thin vs. thick drivers and how they might affect operations from an application perspective. We're in a Solais 8/Oracle 8.1.7.2 environment. We have several applications on several servers connecting to the Oracle database. For redundancy, we're looking into setting up TAF (transparent application failover). Currently, some of our apps use the Oracle JDBC thin drivers to talk to the database, with a connection string that like this: jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:port:ORACLE_SID In a disaster recovery mode, where we would switch the database from one server to another, the host name in the above string would become invalid. That means we have to shut down our application servers and restart them with an updated string. Using the Oracle OCI (thick) driver though, allows us to connect to a Net8 service instead of a specific server: jdbc:oracle:oci8:@NET8_SERVICE_NAME Coupled with the FAILOVER=ON option configured in Net8, it is then possible to direct a connection from the first server to the failover database on another server. This is exactly what we would like to do. My question is, from an application perspective, how is the Oracle thick driver different from the thin driver? If everything else is equal (i.e. the thick driver is compatible with the app servers) would there be something within the the thick/OCI driver that could limit functionality vs. the thin driver? My understand, which obviously is sketchy, is that the thick driver is a superset of the thin driver. If this is the case, and for example if all database connections were handled through a configuration file with the above OCI connection string, then theoretically the thick driver should work. If anyone has any info on this that they can share, it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: migrate from 8i to 9i
I'm assuming that you're creating a 9i database on the new machine when you install Oracle. I find it useful to pre-create the tablespaces (and users) on the new database, rather than let the import do that.

Hi Barbara,
I believe 'in list iterator' is the way the optimizer is handling one of
your in () statements in your query. Beware in lists with a large
number
of
values in the set... as expansion of these in lists can create an
incredibly
ugly OR'd query.Saw this once and gave it the no_expand hint -
problem
solved. However I don't think that's the problem here - have you
tkprof'd
it?
This is one nasty query. Distinct, outer join, trunc on a date,
cartesian
joins... yuck!

RE: Does index need rebuilding when table is truncated
Hello, Lisa, what I was wondering when I read Rick's e-mail was... what about the HWM for the indexes when someone truncates a table. The table's HWM pointer gets reset of course, but I can never recall seeing anything about what happens to the index space.

Hi Barbara,
I believe 'in list iterator' is the way the optimizer is handling one of
your in () statements in your query. Beware in lists with a large
number
of
values in the set... as expansion of these in lists can create an
incredibly
ugly OR'd query.Saw this once and gave it the no_expand hint -
problem
solved. However I don't think that's the problem here - have you

This is one nasty query. Distinct, outer join, trunc on a date,

Iteration on your IN (blah, blah, blah ...). Let me guess, you have lots
of customers?
Step one : get rid of DISTINCT, either by adding the missing joind
condition, or by having the relevant condition relegated to a AND EXISTS
(blah blah). Then you'l be able to start the serious work.

Re: Differences between Oracle JDBC thin and thick drivers
This is my understanding as well. So if you wanted to use the thick driver, you would need to install SQL*Net on each of your clients. If your clients are all internal and already use SQL*Plus, for example, you should be all set. Otherwise you may have some difficulties with this option. Marc Perkowitz Senior Consultant TWJ Consulting, LLP - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 4:03 PM Hi I believe the difference is that the OCI drivers use SQL*Net or NET8 or whatever they call it now, whereas the thin driver does not require SQL*Net on the client machine. Ben Poels Sr. Technical Analyst Queen's University -Original Message- Avrami Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 4:29 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hello all, I have a question concerning the Oracle JDBC thin vs. thick drivers and how they might affect operations from an application perspective. We're in a Solais 8/Oracle 8.1.7.2 environment. We have several applications on several servers connecting to the Oracle database. For redundancy, we're looking into setting up TAF (transparent application failover). Currently, some of our apps use the Oracle JDBC thin drivers to talk to the database, with a connection string that like this: jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:port:ORACLE_SID In a disaster recovery mode, where we would switch the database from one server to another, the host name in the above string would become invalid. That means we have to shut down our application servers and restart them with an updated string. Using the Oracle OCI (thick) driver though, allows us to connect to a Net8 service instead of a specific server: jdbc:oracle:oci8:@NET8_SERVICE_NAME Coupled with the FAILOVER=ON option configured in Net8, it is then possible to direct a connection from the first server to the failover database on another server. This is exactly what we would like to do. My question is, from an application perspective, how is the Oracle thick driver different from the thin driver? If everything else is equal (i.e. the thick driver is compatible with the app servers) would there be something within the the thick/OCI driver that could limit functionality vs. the thin driver? My understand, which obviously is sketchy, is that the thick driver is a superset of the thin driver. If this is the case, and for example if all database connections were handled through a configuration file with the above OCI connection string, then theoretically the thick driver should work. If anyone has any info on this that they can share, it would be greatly appreciated.

RE: SQL Tuning - How to avoid TOCHAR function against a date
I am jumping in the middle of this thread so execuse me if I am repeating the past suggestions I haven't read yet. In a DW you'd have a date dim of dates only (no time component to date) and a time_dim (down to seconds). Your fact table should have a date_key and a time_key if both date and time components are significant. In that case your query SELECT DATE_KEY FROM DATE_DIM WHERE TO_CHAR(ORACLE_DATE,'DD-MON-') = TO_CHAR(:b1,'DD-MON-') would be transformed to: SELECT DATE_KEY FROM DATE_DIM WHERE ORACLE_DATE = TRUNC(:b1); You should perhaps update the oracle_date column in date_dim to TRUNC(oracle_date,'DD') and then rebuild the index on oracle_date column and run the above mentioned query. - Sundeep --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ron, That's an idea.

RE: Rman ... what do YOU need
I'm currently struggling with the MML Veritas NetBackup. What I'd like is cohesive definition and examples showing use of the views (v$backup_sync_io and v$backup_async_io) that are there to supposedly let me know if the tape is streaming, and to compare throughput from the point of view of RMAN with theoretical throughput for both the tape devices and the disk devices. I'm using asynchronous IO, slaved IO processes and multiple channels to tape in an attempt to get a data warehouse backed up in a reasonable time. This takes a great deal of large pool memory, which I'd like to override at times (e.g. when running a job that should give a small amount of output, it'd be nice to be able to override the large pool use, sort of like forcing a dedicated server with sqlnet.ora from the client when connecting to an MTS listener.) Some indication of the balancing act between backup times and recovery times would also be good. So I guess the ideas boil down to this: o how to tell if you're getting the most from your RMAN config o how to plan resources for optimal use by RMAN o balancing time-to-backup with time-to-recovery Hope this helps...

Re: Question about Forms Version
I have both running on a laptop here the only thing that will happen is that Developer uses its own net8 client and as such sets the Oracle HOME to teh home you install Dev 6i in. You most likely will want to install a copy of your tnsnames in your Develop home. If you have the Home selector installed you will need to set the default home for the system back to the 8i home, other than that it seems to work OK Cheers -- = Peter McLarty E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Technical ConsultantWWW: http://www.mincom.com APAC Technical Services Phone: +61 (0)7 3303 3461 Brisbane, AustraliaMobile: +61 (0)402 094 238 Facsimile: +61 (0)7 3303 3048 = A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. - Walter Bagehot (1826-1877 British Economist) = Mincom The People, The Experience, The Vision = JoJo Zawawi [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/04/2002 10:58 AM Please respond to ORACLE-L To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Fax to: Subject:Re: Question about Forms Version Hi Peter, Thanks a lot for the book recommendations.
