Re: Rman ... what do YOU need

Hi

I think it was mentioned already,

But case studies with real working examples (maybe include the scripts for
demo environment) usually make things a lot more clear than plain text and

I don't think you can do it.. I mean, you could change it to trunc the
oracle_date field (that eliminates the minutes) and then do a to_date
of :b1 but you will still be operating on the oracle_date field.

Okay, I HATE to suggest this, but since the table is small:

add another field to the table oracle_date_2 as a date field. Update
the table set oracle_date_2=trunc(oracle_date)

add a trigger to fill in oracle_date_2 when you insert a row or update
the oracle_date column


create an index on oracle_date_2 and change the query to use that
column

collecting statistics

2002-04-09 Thread prem

Hi,

I have a table in which inserts/updates or deletes are taking place very frequently( in the order of 1/sec) , Now I want to have the information on how many inserts or updates or deletes took place in the table.

I might ask for a query like how many inserts took place on a specific date or for a date range.

I know that I can use triggers to collect this information. But is it advisable to use triggers on a table where there are frequent operations. If not what is the other alternative ?

LMT's or DMT's

2002-04-09 Thread Sujatha Madan

Hi,

I know this topic has been done to death, but I've only just migrated to
8.1.7 from 8.0.6 and am looking into LMT's vs DMT's. Do listers reccomend
migrating all tablespaces (other than system) or should I do my temp
tablespace only?? What is the general thought out there?


Also, is the "dbms_space_admin.tablespace_migrate_to_local()"  package
"reliable" or is there anything that I should be aware of???

Thanks

Yes, but they have to be unable to reproduce.

I agree that mostly as DBA I do not need the root access.  As one
pointed out earlier, it is required during install, but only in
two places.  If you had the SA there when you installed the
software it wouldn't be a problem.  Software istalls can usually
be scheduled to work that way too.

dbms_alert_info & locks

2002-04-09 Thread Alroy Mascranghe

Hi All

We have a Pro C daemon which does a DBMS_aLERT.'waitone' for a specific
alert. From the database side applications do a signal to start the daemon.
So we have a locking situation where we found out that the rows in sql area
for two different users were the same
UPDATE DBMS_ALERT_INFO SET CHANGED='Y',MESSAGE=:b1 WHERE NAME =
UPPER(:b2)
And when we queried the rowid which was locked by the users they were all
waiting on this row
select * from DBMS_ALERT_INFO where
rowid= 'ZwAABVUAAB';
What is the reason for this to caused locks ?

Thanks

RE: standby database problem ???

2002-04-09 Thread Reardon, Bruce (CALBBAY)

Janet,

I have found that on NT a shutdown immediate can still lead to recovery being required 
when the database is started back up.
That is, maybe you didn't really have a consistent cold backup of your primary.
I have instead opted for a shutdown immediate, startup, shutdown normal sequence to 
ensure the database is consistent.

Have a look at the alert log of your primary and see if when you started it back up 
after the "cold" backup it contained a line like
"alter database open
Beginning crash recovery of 1 threads"

That is, did a crash recovery follow the database being opened.

HTH,
Bruce Reardon

RE: Favourite Urban Myth

2002-04-09 Thread Deshpande, Kirti

We had one dba who (by mistake) issued a 'chown -R oracle:dba' followed by
'chmod -R 750 *' from the '/' directory while logged in as root.
Fortunately, it was a server with no production databases on it, just a
couple of Development databases. She never new what a '#' prompt was. She is
long gone but such memories linger for ever ;) 
It took a while for the SA's to let Oracle DBAs get root privileges after
that episode. 

And in my previous job, I had a junior DBA who tried to kill a background
job (%1) with 'kill -9' as root. The problem was, he forgot to put in '%'
before the '1'  and then came to me stating that the Server does not
respond anymore :( while I was talking to the Customer who had beaten him to
place a trouble call about 'the database just hung-up'. Is there a

Re: Question about Forms Version

2002-04-09 Thread Peter . McLarty

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

Re: Question about Forms Version

2002-04-09 Thread JoJo Zawawi

Hi Peter,

Thanks a lot for the book recommendations.

I have another question:  I have Oracle 8i on an NT box.  I just downloaded
"Oracle Forms Developer 6i Release 2 for NT" (which has as part of it,
"Oracle 9iAS Forms Services for NT").  Can I install it on that same NT box,
or is it going to mess up my Oracle 8i?  (I couldn't find any earlier
versions of Forms Developer on Oracle's site.)

Thanks again,
JoJo

RE: Rman ... what do YOU need

2002-04-09 Thread Austin, Steve S

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...
Steve

RE: SQL Tuning - How to avoid TOCHAR function against a date

2002-04-09 Thread sundeep maini

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.

RE: Does index need rebuilding when table is truncated

2002-04-09 Thread Koivu, Lisa

I'm not sure.  My gut says yes... because there's nothing left in the table,
why should there be anything "left" in the index in the way of storage...
but I don't know for sure.  May be a fun thing to play with.  (Wow, I need
to get out more)  

List?  Someone has to know this.

RE: Does index need rebuilding when table is truncated

2002-04-09 Thread Freeman, Robert

There is not a HWM indicator for an index as there is for a table.
When a truncate occurs, the blocks are cleared in the index and the
extents (beyond the initial extent) are deallocated (assuming you do not
issue the reuse storage clause).

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.

Thank you,

Nope.  Try it.  You'll see that the extents clear up just like the extents

Re: Differences between Oracle JDBC thin and thick drivers

2002-04-09 Thread Marc Perkowitz

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.

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: Does index need rebuilding when table is truncated

2002-04-09 Thread Sherman, Paul R.

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.

Thank you,

Paul Sherman

Hi Rick, 

Nope.  Try it.  You'll see that the extents clear up just like the extents
in the table do, if you don't specify the REUSE STORAGE clause.

RE: Explain: In List Iterator

2002-04-09 Thread Koivu, Lisa

OMG I thought we were looking at a canned-app query

If it was my database, I would be turning the query upside down and
educating the developer in a not-so-gentle manner.  But that's my style -
hormonal and direct.  :)  You are the better person if you can get through
to the developer without resorting to my curt type of "people skills"

Post your tkprof, I am curious to see it.

Thanks, Lisa!
I have not tkprof'd it.  I'm beginning to wonder if the thing will ever
complete.
I think I might instead suggest ever-so-gently to the developer that this
doesn't belong in the production database.

RE: Explain: In List Iterator

2002-04-09 Thread Freeman, Robert

The INLIST INTERATOR takes a result set, and "interates" over that
result set returning a result set that matches the values of the 
IN predicate.

This is documented, quite well, in the Oracle9i Documentation.

RE: Explain: In List Iterator

2002-04-09 Thread Koivu, Lisa

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!

Does index need rebuilding when table is truncated

Hi All,

I know if you delete lots of data using delete the indexes may need
rebuilding. Is this the case if the table is truncated?

RE: Differences between Oracle JDBC thin and thick drivers

2002-04-09 Thread Ben Poels

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.

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.

Thanks,
Lou Avrami

RE: Differences between Oracle JDBC thin and thick drivers

2002-04-09 Thread DENNIS WILLIAMS

Louis - You may want to pick up the book "Java Programming with Oracle JDBC"
by Don Bales. The editor, Jonathan Gennick participates on this list from
time to time. It goes into quite a bit of detail on the differences between
the thin and thick drivers, even performs benchmarks. Just a guess, but my
initial impression would be that the two drivers may share very little code,
given that they work so differently.

Re: migrate from 8i to 9i

2002-04-09 Thread tday6


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.  This gives you more control
over where datafiles end up and do some clearup on unneeded users, etc.

Hi friends,

 I need your advise on the following question. I
have DB on 8i and I want create new one on another
machine with 9i.
I thought do the following steps:

1 - Install oracle 9i on a new machine
2 - make full export of the 8i DB
3 - import it on the new one (9i)

So before I proceed I need your input. Am I correct
with these steps? There is something wrong?

Many thanks for you,

RE: Function based index

2002-04-09 Thread DENNIS WILLIAMS

Rick - No you can't parameterize it because Oracle will actually build an
index based on your function. That is a physical index populated with actual
data. If the Oracle optimizer was smart enough to handle the parameter, then
it would be smart enough to not need the function-based index in the first
place. However, you could create multiple function-based indexes to cover
several situations. Of course, if you get carried away and create many,
complex function-based indexes, then your insert and update performance may
suffer.

Differences between Oracle JDBC thin and thick drivers

2002-04-09 Thread Louis Avrami



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.

Thanks,
Lou Avrami

Sample queries against the Rman Views - or - how to navigate to find stuff

As well as standard installation procedures for using Rman against the
various SBT software components.  Configuring these beasts is where most of
the challenge lies.

And then, various recover scenarious.  Even though Rman does a pretty decent
job of this.

Good luck, and please feel free to ask for help!

I don't think you can do it.. I mean, you could change it to trunc the
oracle_date field (that eliminates the minutes) and then do a to_date
of :b1 but you will still be operating on the oracle_date field.

Okay, I HATE to suggest this, but since the table is small:

add another field to the table oracle_date_2 as a date field. Update
the table set oracle_date_2=trunc(oracle_date)

add a trigger to fill in oracle_date_2 when you insert a row or update
the oracle_date column


create an index on oracle_date_2 and change the query to use that
column

I have the book, and it is a pretty good 101 book. My book seeks to go to
the next level, looking at things like the data dictionary views, the
recovery catalog tables and how they are used, backup and recovery case
studies, and the like. I will look for input from this thread for additional
content.

FWIW -- 
Oracle Press recently published a "Backup & Recovery 101" book by Kenny
Smith and Stephan Haisley. 
I have not yet read it, but it claims to have RMAN coverage. 
Since it is part of the '101' series, I presume it covers most of the basic
stuff. 
Has anyone purchased it? And read it? 
I may check it out at IOUG-A next week :)

I'm contemplating doing an Rman backup and recovery handbook. I'm wondering
what you would like to see in such a book and would you use such a book?
Ideas and comments welcome.

I don't think you can do it.. I mean, you could change it to trunc the
oracle_date field (that eliminates the minutes) and then do a to_date
of :b1 but you will still be operating on the oracle_date field.

Okay, I HATE to suggest this, but since the table is small:

add another field to the table oracle_date_2 as a date field. Update
the table set oracle_date_2=trunc(oracle_date)

add a trigger to fill in oracle_date_2 when you insert a row or update
the oracle_date column


create an index on oracle_date_2 and change the query to use that
column

Hi friends,

 I need your advise on the following question. I
have DB on 8i and I want create new one on another
machine with 9i.
I thought do the following steps:

1 - Install oracle 9i on a new machine
2 - make full export of the 8i DB
3 - import it on the new one (9i)

So before I proceed I need your input. Am I correct
with these steps? There is something wrong?

Many thanks for you,

Kader

No. The function is simply applied to the column when the index is
created, so it's fairly 'static'. My guess is that the index could
possibly be used for a search on substr(first_name, 1, 10), à la like
'something%' but I have not tried it.

Re: Insert append generating redo

2002-04-09 Thread Robert Pegram

Stephane,

I don't understand what you mean when you say you can
select on t1 before any commit.

I just tried this on an 8.1.7 database, and there was
a signicant reduction in redo.  There was only 668
bytes of redo generated vs. 2320 (see below).  I think
some redo will still be generated as you allocate
extents (my tablespace is dictionary managed).

RE: Rman ... what do YOU need

2002-04-09 Thread Mercadante, Thomas F

Robert,

Sample queries against the Rman Views - or - how to navigate to find stuff
within the structure would be very helpful.

As well as standard installation procedures for using Rman against the
various SBT software components.  Configuring these beasts is where most of
the challenge lies.

And then, various recover scenarious.  Even though Rman does a pretty decent
job of this.

Good luck, and please feel free to ask for help!

I don't think you can do it.. I mean, you could change it to trunc the
oracle_date field (that eliminates the minutes) and then do a to_date
of :b1 but you will still be operating on the oracle_date field.

Okay, I HATE to suggest this, but since the table is small:

add another field to the table oracle_date_2 as a date field. Update
the table set oracle_date_2=trunc(oracle_date)

add a trigger to fill in oracle_date_2 when you insert a row or update
the oracle_date column


create an index on oracle_date_2 and change the query to use that
column

RE: Rman ... what do YOU need

2002-04-09 Thread Koivu, Lisa

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.  ???  

I would run out and buy a book on this topic in a second if it was very
detailed.  The documentation is just too brief at times.

migrate from 8i to 9i

2002-04-09 Thread Kader Ben

Hi friends,

 I need your advise on the following question. I
have DB on 8i and I want create new one on another
machine with 9i.
I thought do the following steps:

1 - Install oracle 9i on a new machine
2 - make full export of the 8i DB
3 - import it on the new one (9i)

So before I proceed I need your input. Am I correct
with these steps? There is something wrong?

Many thanks for you,

Kader

RE: Rman ... what do YOU need

2002-04-09 Thread Deshpande, Kirti

Robert,
That's good to know. 
A dedicated RMAN book would be great !! 
Hope you cover *all* available MML stuff.. like IBM/Tivoli ADSM/TSM, Legato
etc.. etc.. and how to setup and use RMAN   for Disaster Recovery scenarios,
where databases would be recovered on different server and different
location. 

Good Luck..

For example, SQL Server does not have true row level
locking.  It's table level locking, or some really
creative SQL to fake it.  This has a direct impact on

RE: Rman ... what do YOU need

2002-04-09 Thread Deshpande, Kirti

FWIW -- 
Oracle Press recently published a "Backup & Recovery 101" book by Kenny
Smith and Stephan Haisley. 
I have not yet read it, but it claims to have RMAN coverage. 
Since it is part of the '101' series, I presume it covers most of the basic
stuff. 
Has anyone purchased it? And read it? 
I may check it out at IOUG-A next week :)

I don't think you can do it.. I mean, you could change it to trunc the
oracle_date field (that eliminates the minutes) and then do a to_date
of :b1 but you will still be operating on the oracle_date field.

Okay, I HATE to suggest this, but since the table is small:

add another field to the table oracle_date_2 as a date field. Update
the table set oracle_date_2=trunc(oracle_date)

add a trigger to fill in oracle_date_2 when you insert a row or update
the oracle_date column


create an index on oracle_date_2 and change the query to use that
column

RE: Rman ... what do YOU need

2002-04-09 Thread Post, Ethan

A section on itegration and best practices with various storage management
products.  In one case I back up to a Tivoli Storage Management server.
Storage group said I would need an addtional product to use TSM with RMAN
and that I would still not be able to have some functionality.  Never cared
enough to try to figure it all out.  At the moment I have my own hot backup
scripts.  Would like to know what else is being done and what the
limitations are.

Re: Rman ... what do YOU need

2002-04-09 Thread Ron Rogers

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.

Function based index

Hi,

If I have a function based index such as
CREATE INDEX emp_idx01 on emp(SUBSTR(first_name,1,20))

Is there a way to build index where 1,20 portion can be parameterized? If
so how would this be done?

Thanks

RE: Using OID

2002-04-09 Thread Jay Mehta

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

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!  GL!  I'll let you know when I get that page up.:)

Mmmm. . . Ron - How long do you figure it would take you to re-import the

all the little tables, the ones I would have a hope of re-importing, into

I read the info quickly, so "Web services" are Java apps served on iAS
through Portal, Wireless Portal, or Apache.

Would that be correct, in a nutshell?

I donot have UWIN so I can not test it. However on UNIX using ksh you
not only you set the ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME environment variable,
but you need to export them as well.

rman views & one other rman question - long, sorry

2002-04-09 Thread Koivu, Lisa

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?  

Thanks in advance for any pointers, websites, etc.

Dennis is right.  We had to pay extra for partitioning, on top of EE.  What

Re: Insert append generating redo

This is code I use and it works. If you see I do not use 'AS' before
select. I am not sure if you need it.

insert /*+ parallel(&&1, 6) */ into &&1
select /*+ parallel(&&2, 6) */ * from &&2;

RE: Fairly Boring News Article on Oracle

2002-04-09 Thread Pardee, Roy E

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...

Cheers,

RE: Export taking to long

Ron,
Consistent=y will make it run slow. Is 'consistent=y' a requirement? 
If your version of the database allows multiple dump files, you may want to
consider that option (if disk space is available). Compressing dump file on
the fly will add to the slowness.

Re: Pl/sql question - if statement

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:

If  'A'||AvdNr||'.ICA_ARTIKEL@'||LookUpServerName|| 'BORTTAGS_FLAGG' = 0
THEN

I suspect you're going to have problems with the rest of your quoting as
well.

RE: Export taking to long

2002-04-09 Thread Boivin, Patrice J

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.

RE: RE: Fairly Boring News Article on Oracle

2002-04-09 Thread Post, Ethan

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.

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.
