Oracle names problems on Win2k with Pentium IV
Fellow listers, After upgrading to the latest greatest Pentium 4 desktop ( 2.3 GHZ, 512 Meg of Ram, 80 Gig disk, Yeehah! ) and dealing with the JIT bugs, I find that Oracle names no longer works properly. The folllowing screen dump explains it all. Start names, everything looks hunky dory, exit namesctl, start namesctl again, and it's no longer possible to connect to the names server. Several threads on MetaLink detail the identical problem on Win2k, but none of them provide a solution. Vitals: Oracle 8.1.7.3 Windows 2000 Pentium 4, 2.3 GHZ 512 Meg Ram. Interestingly enough, some have encountered this on Linux, but names on linux is working just fine for me on a Dell box Vitals on the Dell: Dual Pentium 1.3 GHZ 2 Gig Ram Lots o' disk. Any ideas?

Re: Unix - scheduling
> > It does not work on Solaris 8. SunOS (a.k.a. BSD) used vixiecron; they dumped it when "Solaris" went SVR4. You can still find workable copies of Paul's original work (pretty ancient by now). Alternative it to use perl with Schedule::Cron to process the lines. It understands */X notation and passes the entire line to whatever dispatcher you choose -- which can interpret the rest of your cron line as whatever it likes. For example: * */24 * * * */28 /path/to/code Would check for the 28th day ever 24 hours :-) Probably the best bet for something like this is at, however, since it remembers the date + time that the event was scheduled for.

Re:RE: Need some advice
Raj, Thanks for the help, but in this case I need to first wash a little egg off of my face. The problem here was at least was easily recoverable. What had happen was we moved a database instance from one machine to another. It's cheaper to run two instances on one box that pay Oracle for 2 boxes, especially when neither is breaking a sweat. OK, not a problem, while one is at it might as well upgrade the original instance from 8.0.5.2.1 to 8.1.7 while we're at it, right? Sure, but make sure you read the CD's first. What I did was install Oracle 8.1.7 32bit instead of 8.1.7 64bit. Damn I hate doing things twice.

RE: Redo log
David, Based on the ls output it seems you may have 4 groups with 1 member in groups 1,2 & 4 but 3 members in group 3. Do a "select * from v$log;" and see how the logs are really setup. I would suggest you want to have the same number of members in each group. If you want them to switch less often either (a) produce less redo (use logminer to analyse and maybe updates / deletes etc are happening that don't need to) or (b) use bigger logfiles. This assumes they're switching because they're full. How big are the archive logs that are produced - are they all around the same size or are some very small? As for LogMiner - if you're in archive log mode and you've backed up / got a copy of the archive logs from 2 days ago then yes LogMiner will be able to analyse them. Regards, Bruce Reardon -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, 3 July 2002 2:43 I found couple redo logs in my Oracle8.0.5 database, as shown they are switched every 5 minutes. I'd like to have only two or three logs out there and don't want them to be switched until every 4 hours. Is there a way to control it that way? Secondly, if redo log switchs every 5 minutes, does LogMiner have capability to view transaction history from two days ago?

Re: Should we upgrade from 9.0.1.2 to 9.2?
Sigh, There are many answers to this question related to the environment you will be deploying into. It sounds like you are actually maintaining many databases. Are all of them really 24x7 (i.e. less than a minute of downtime per year) or can you schedule maintenance in the future that will not affect revenues? Sticking with 9.0.x means having to jump through more hoops in the end and having to live with any issues you have that you cannot address. 9.2 is really more like 9.0.2 with some features bolted on (closer to 8.0.5 in my opinion). You'll have a MUCH easier time getting issues addressed with 9.2 over the long haul (> 8 months). But if you are in a true 24x7 shop, and you have an extensive, exhaustive, thorough QA/UAT cycles with realistic loads, and you are willing to live on an unsupportable system with all that you have running now, then you may want to stick with wherever your testing has put you. In summary, a simplistic view to your situation has you classed into one of two conditions: 1. You do have the ability to patch the OS/Database/Application, but that is very limited AND Your test/QA/UAT cycle will be able to complete with the 9.2 db in place: * Go to 9.2 2. You do NOT have the ability to do anything but put on essential security patches (e.g. less than 60 seconds of downtime in a year) OR You do not have time to go through a test/QA/UAT cycle with 9.2 in place before you go live: * Stick with 9.0.1 I would do all I could to go with 9.2, but some situations simply don't allow for it. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > We have a couple of new applications in development > that are moving to QA. > These databases are currently running 9.0.1.2 on Sun > Solaris 2.6.

Re: OPS and redos
Fawzia, What are you querying to get the SCN information. I would also be curious where you read about the recovery issues in OPS environment? Oracle maintains what is called a snapshot SCN and global SCN. The snapshot SCN is usually maintained in the SGA and the global SCN is maintained by the DLM. All transactions committed in an OPS environment use the global SCN and that SCN is always incrementing even in if both instances are idle. In an OPS environment it is possible for multiple transactions on different nodes to commit with the same SCN but each transaction will commit with an SCN that is greater whether these transactions are on the same node or different nodes. The bottom line is that Oracle basically treats SCN's with committed transactions the same whether it is a single instance or OPS. The snapshot SCN is used for queries and the snapshot SCN could be older than current or global SCN. This SCN only effects queries not DML. The only issue here is using this snapshot SCN could give read consistency on transactions that where committed on the on the other node. an example Time 10:00:00 - Node2 issues DML and commits updates deptno from 10 to 11 committed with current SCN 1000, current SCN is now incremented to 1001 Time 10:00:01 - Node1 issues a select on deptno and sees 10 (should see 11 because the transaction was commmited) because the snapshot SCN is 998 and the transaction was committed with newer SCN we must perform a read consistent read. PMON is the process that synchs current or global SCN with the snapshot SCN and PMON usually does this every 3 seconds so if you issue the query Time 10:00:05 (5 seconds after the commit) - Node1 issues the select on deptno and now sees 11. This is because PMON sync-ed up the snapshot SCN with the current or global SCN and now my SCN for my query is newer than the SCN the transaction you committed with so there is no need to perform a CR you can just use the current version. The above issue is really only a problem is a system if you have a lot of DML on 1 node and a lot of selects on the other node. It this is an issue you can set MAX_COMMIT_PROPAGATION_DELAY=0 and this will force the queries to always use the current or global SCN and now you should see the committed data as soon as it is committed because both the DML and queries are use the current or global SCN. I find odd that you have SCN of 500 and 2000. The way Oracle maintains SCN's in an OPS environment shouldn't allow for this large of a gap in SCN's. This looks more like log sequence numbers not SCN's. If these are indeed log sequence then this gap is not an issue. Recovery is based more on SCN's not log sequence numbers. If the gap in the log sequence gets to big Oracle will force the idle node to do log switches and if you are archiving you will see archive logs 1 OS block in size. When Oracle does this you should a KK "Redo log Kick" lock being allocated.

Re: SQL*Plus/UTL_FILE vs. 3'rd Party Data Extraction
Perl is very fast, very flexible, and quite inexpensive. :) See my post earlier today that includes the TOC from "Perl for Oracle DBA's" Jared "Post, Ethan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/02/2002 09:28 AM Please respond to ORACLE-L To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject:SQL*Plus/UTL_FILE vs. 3'rd Party Data Extraction I have some people who are asking about 3'rd party data extraction tools to pull data from Oracle into text files for loading a data warehouse. I am not sure what the size of the project is but I think it is pretty big. The DW is Terradata. Anyway, they are stating Oracle tools are too slow. They do not define slow so it is hard to argue with them. My opinion is that it is very dependent on hardware (CPU/Disk) in most cases. What are your opinions on the matter, do you need 3'rd party? What tools are you using (I am aware of Informatica and such but I think they are looking for something a little cheaper)?

Re: Unix - scheduling
> If you can't do things carefully, you probably won't > make it too long as a DBA anyway. Not using 'crontab -e' *is* being careful. :) Jared [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/02/2002 10:14 AM Please respond to ORACLE-L To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject:Re: Unix - scheduling Aww, come on, crontab -e isn't that bad! The most dangerous thing about it is accidentally running crontab -r instead of -e. Using crontab -e is no worse than using a wildcard with the rm command, i.e. 'rm a *' instead of 'rm a*'. One deletes all files that start with 'a', the other deletes a file named 'a' plus everything else in your directory. Like anything else, just be careful when you're using crontab and you shouldn't have any problems. If you can't do things carefully, you probably won't make it too long as a DBA anyway. Although, if you are a vi novice and using it to edit your crontab, then I would agree with Jared. A few wrong keystrokes in command mode and you can trash a file real quick Just my $.02, Alan P.S. I do recommend making a backup of your crontab occasionally though Jared Still n.com> cc: Sent by: Subject: Re: Unix - scheduling [EMAIL PROTECTED] om 07/02/02 09:03 AM Please respond to ORACLE-L Please don't use 'crontab -e', unless you are saving your crontab files and using some form of version control on them. 'crontabe -e' is inherently dangerous, as it is too easy to remove lines unintentionally, and then they are gone for good.

Re: Unix - scheduling
Aww, come on, crontab -e isn't that bad! The most dangerous thing about it is accidentally running crontab -r instead of -e. Using crontab -e is no worse than using a wildcard with the rm command, i.e. 'rm a *' instead of 'rm a*'. One deletes all files that start with 'a', the other deletes a file named 'a' plus everything else in your directory. Like anything else, just be careful when you're using crontab and you shouldn't have any problems. If you can't do things carefully, you probably won't make it too long as a DBA anyway. Although, if you are a vi novice and using it to edit your crontab, then I would agree with Jared. A few wrong keystrokes in command mode and you can trash a file real quick Just my $.02, Alan P.S. I do recommend making a backup of your crontab occasionally though Jared Still n.com> cc: Sent by: Subject: Re: Unix - scheduling [EMAIL PROTECTED] om 07/02/02 09:03 AM Please respond to ORACLE-L Please don't use 'crontab -e', unless you are saving your crontab files and using some form of version control on them.

RE: system event waits
1. If you have bug 1210242, then using timed_statistics=true will have a profound impact upon performance. Get a patch, and then go to 3. 2. If you use an HP-UX release older than release 10, then using timed_statistics=true will have a profound impact upon performance. Upgrade HP-UX, and then go to 3. 3. Otherwise, set timed_statistics=true at the instance level, and leave it set that way forever. In your first hour of using timing data, you will probably recover more system capacity than the timer mechanism will consume in a year.

RE: Re[2]:Should we upgrade from 9.0.1.2 to 9.2?
Cherie, I agree with Dick. As long as you have time to install 9.2 on your development machine and assure yourself that it, at least, does not hurt you, I would go with 9.2 now just to give yourself breathing room for the next year or so. If you stick with 9.0, you know that you will begin to feel the pressure to upgrade sometime soon. I always go with the highest level possible as soon as possible. Hope this helps. Tom Mercadante Oracle Certified Professional -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 11:43 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Cherie, First off, I had no plans to ever use 9.0 anywhere other than test to see what was new. In your case your already on 9.0.1 and appear happy with that. Given that you could deploy o 9.0.1 or upgrade to 9.2 now and hope for a longer time before the next upgrade. Personally I'd make the argument to upgrade. Better to be on the bleeding edge at deployment time than on the edge of desupport. Dick Goulet Reply Separator Author: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 7/2/2002 6:53 AM Dick, Thanks for your comments. So, the bottom line is that you are recommending moving from 9.0.1.2 to 9.2?

Now in version 8, I did get onto 8.0.5, but I did wait for the .5 to show up. With 8i it's 8.1.6 that was our baseline although I'm a lot happier with 8.1.7. For 9i I won't touch anything before 9.2, which is waiting for a test home right now. On the other hand I think it's a pretty wise idea to be on the latest version before going into production since that way you have a longer period of time before having to upgrade again. I just like having some other poor slob find the bugs first. Dick Goulet Reply Separator Author: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 7/2/2002 5:58 AM We have a couple of new applications in development that are moving to QA. These databases are currently running 9.0.1.2 on Sun Solaris 2.6. We've been pretty happy with this version to this point but are at a pivotal spot in our product development cycle where we have a narrow window in which we could upgrade to 9.2 before we finish our QA cycle and move the application to production.We will be moving to production in the September timeframe. I know that 9.2 hasn't been out that long so I'm not sure how many people are using it. For those that are using it, what has your experience been? Is it very buggy? Any major problems? We have an OLTP database, a smallish datawarehouse that uses partitioning, and some datamarts that also use partitioning. We do not use MTS or replication. Our character set is UTF8. We will be essentially 24 X 7. These are web-based front-ends. What do you guys think? This OLTP database is very mission critical for us, once it gets to production.

SQL*Plus/UTL_FILE vs. 3'rd Party Data Extraction
I have some people who are asking about 3'rd party data extraction tools to pull data from Oracle into text files for loading a data warehouse. I am not sure what the size of the project is but I think it is pretty big. The DW is Terradata. Anyway, they are stating Oracle tools are too slow. They do not define slow so it is hard to argue with them. My opinion is that it is very dependent on hardware (CPU/Disk) in most cases. What are your opinions on the matter, do you need 3'rd party? What tools are you using (I am aware of Informatica and such but I think they are looking for something a little cheaper)?

Re[2]:Should we upgrade from 9.0.1.2 to 9.2?
Cherie, First off, I had no plans to ever use 9.0 anywhere other than test to see what was new. In your case your already on 9.0.1 and appear happy with that. Given that you could deploy o 9.0.1 or upgrade to 9.2 now and hope for a longer time before the next upgrade. Personally I'd make the argument to upgrade. Better to be on the bleeding edge at deployment time than on the edge of desupport. Dick Goulet Reply Separator Author: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 7/2/2002 6:53 AM Dick, Thanks for your comments. So, the bottom line is that you are recommending moving from 9.0.1.2 to 9.2?

Now in version 8, I did get onto 8.0.5, but I did wait for the .5 to show up. With 8i it's 8.1.6 that was our baseline although I'm a lot happier with 8.1.7. For 9i I won't touch anything before 9.2, which is waiting for a test home right now. On the other hand I think it's a pretty wise idea to be on the latest version before going into production since that way you have a longer period of time before having to upgrade again. I just like having some other poor slob find the bugs first. Dick Goulet Reply Separator Author: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 7/2/2002 5:58 AM We have a couple of new applications in development that are moving to QA. These databases are currently running 9.0.1.2 on Sun Solaris 2.6. We've been pretty happy with this version to this point but are at a pivotal spot in our product development cycle where we have a narrow window in which we could upgrade to 9.2 before we finish our QA cycle and move the application to production.We will be moving to production in the September timeframe. I know that 9.2 hasn't been out that long so I'm not sure how many people are using it. For those that are using it, what has your experience been? Is it very buggy? Any major problems? We have an OLTP database, a smallish datawarehouse that uses partitioning, and some datamarts that also use partitioning. We do not use MTS or replication. Our character set is UTF8.

Re: Should we upgrade from 9.0.1.2 to 9.2?
Cherie, Before any upgrade I consider whether or no I really need it. For mission critical application it would be wise to stick with what you have, unless you have problems with it. Now we have 9.0.1.2 in production and 9.1.3 in development and I don't intend to move to 9.2 in nearest time.

Re: Oracle 9i, can't break it?
For those of you in the Oracle Partner program, here's what looks like another little bug to add to the 'Unbreakable' list... Log into the Oracle partner network at http://oraclepartnernetwork.oracle.com/ and look for the Product Query Tool under 'Pricing' - It gives the cost of the various Oracle options in various currencies. Choose Enterprise Edition, try to get a price in Italy and it completly fails to cope with the currency conversion, resulting in a price of 0. for a two-year user license, with the same for support and upgrade. I can only assume that nobody in Italy is an Oracle Partner, or they're keeping very quiet about getting the Database for free... Somebody tell me this stuff doesn't run on Oracle software.

Re: Unix - scheduling
Please don't use 'crontab -e', unless you are saving your crontab files and using some form of version control on them. 'crontabe -e' is inherently dangerous, as it is too easy to remove lines unintentionally, and then they are gone for good.

Re:Should we upgrade from 9.0.1.2 to 9.2?

Re: iFS
Peter, I'm not sure what do you mean by the SQL interface for iFS. Can you elaborate or give some links to resources? afaik, iFS is created to store non-relational data. However, this is mapped to relational schema in DB where iFS stores all the information. There are also some Views created in iFS schema that may be used for SELECTs. Basically, it's possible to make DML on internal tables of iFS, but... guess what... not recommended/supported by Oracle. Question on another topic about iFS: Has anybody found the solution to restore a single file in iFS? "Oracle9i Release 2 New Features" document says that it's possible. In fact this is the first new feature in the list of changes for iFS coming with 9iR2. However, the Admin. Guide for iFS doesn't say anything about it. there are the same 3 paragraphs on the matter of Backup/Recovery. (Ahrrr... can you believe it?) I'm going to talk to Oracle support regarding this, but if someone has any info, I would much appreciate it.

Thinking about it logically how can any 2 systems that are used independently (which in a way is what OPS is)always keep the same SCN numbers together. As long as each of the instances has it's own set of redo log files and it's own set of archived log files (i.e both nodes/instances not writing to the same directory and overwriting another instances's files) then recovery should not be a problem.

I'd be really happy to read one day from one of your posts something you have picked up in a doc I have not had time to read myself. Really.

Oracle 8.1 and 8.0.5 compatibility
I had a problem. Trying to drop a column from a Oracle 8i Table (personal edition on a w2kPro) i got the following message (or similar) " you can't drop a table with 8.0.5 compatibility, you need at least 8.1.0. ! Ok, i changed compatibiliy parameter from 8.0.5 to 8.1.0 (using dba studio) and all seems to be right. The first time i've restarted the dba machine Oracle did not come up any more (the db was mounted but not opened). Other way i cant go back to 8.0.5 compatibility because the dropped column ! what can i do ? Any help will be appreciated.
