SQLLoader

2002-07-19 Thread Sackwitz, Antje

Hi,
I have to load an ASCII dump into Oracle with loader that contains date
information in a different national character set than my databse.
Can I specify a different nls_lang ( Do an alter session set =
nls_lang...)
before the load?
If so, can you please give me the syntax?

Antje Sackwitz

Backup recovery tools for 7.3.4 from 9i

2002-07-19 Thread Beatriz Martínez Jiménez

Hello,
we have an application running the Oracle 7.3.4 version. We have
recently bought the 9i 9.0.1 version. Is it possible to use the 9i
backup and recovery tools to backup the 7.3.4. database?
If the answer is no, between which database versions, for example from
9i to 8i? 9i to 8?
Thanks a lot

resizing/moving datafiles for performance ??

2002-07-19 Thread oraora oraora

Guys,

the DB is on 8.1.6 / Win2K.

there entire DB ( 33 tables and 110 indexes) is in USERS 
tablespace.
the USERS tablespace has only one datafile USERS.DAT of size 
12GB.

it's on 8 * 10 GB HDD with RAID 5.

we are facing performance bottleneck now.

V$SESSION_WAIT shows many rows for DB FILE SCATTERED READ and DB 
FILE SEQUENTIAL READ.
all these events wait for USERS.DAT to be read.
it's a highly read OLTP site.

So,will moving the table and index data to different tablespaces
with relatively smaller datafiles ( say 1 GB ) improve performance 
?
OR
since it is on RAID5 , will moving make any difference ?

10-20 MB of data gets added to the DB daily.
if resizing/moving improves performance,what should be the size of 
my datafile ?

kindly give me a solution guys.
TIA.

Re: DB copying : Attack of the Clones!

2002-07-19 Thread Dale

Hi Kirti

Do you absolutely need full size copies? If small referentially correct
subsets were suitable you could use our DataBee software to re-create and
re-load the test databases as necessary.

In other words, you would not need to back up and restore full size
databases. You simply press the button and regenerate the subsets when
required. Depending on the size of the subset, the refresh would not take
more than an hour or two. The load process is quite straight forward - many
of our customers just create the initial subset databases and then off load
the truncate and reload work to the developers and testers themselves. The
DBA's are removed from the loop and because the databases are small the
create process is very quick - the developers and testers can refresh their
databases whenever they want.

Actually, DataBee would clone the full size databases just fine - its just
not really designed for that purpose in mind.

DataBee: http://www.DataBee.com

In any event, you should have a look at our freeware DBATool. It contains
(among other things) a rule based schema adjuster that should take care of
your requirements to modify the DDL in the test schemas

RE: A DBA looks at OAS | IAS vs. Locally-built Apache

2002-07-19 Thread Boivin, Patrice J

Here they are touting the benefits of Windows2000 Terminal Server... I
discovered that any script / reference to SQL Net causes a TCP protocol
error, and you can't copy / paste from a local file to one in the terminal
server window.

So, we still need a display for every windows2000 server.

I don't know if some of the problems have to do with Java via terminal

  It really OAS and not iAS?  If it is, you need to upgrade your software.
  There is  a published exploit against  the version of Apache used by
  Oracle's latest iAS release.  Oracle has released a patch which stops
 the
  exploit
  
  I have built Oracle web servers for years, but I am now of the mind that
  these things should not be built by DBA's but by webmasters. 
  
  I am undecided whether to one should go with iAS or construct your own

  Apache.  The mod_plsql module for instance was not created by Oracle.
 It
  and things  such as forms server and reports server will run against
 such
  a
  construction. 
  
  However, we were advised last week that the  Windows NT machines will be
  converted to XP  this year.  As a result, I  started to look at  the 9i
  Internet Developer Suite.  About every third line is a statement to the
  effect that the 9i database, 9 iAS, and 9 iDS are made to work together.
  I
  haven't figured out what one is giving up if one builds their own web
  server
  and also installs components for the 9 iAS distribution.  Is it just
  convenience?
  
  One reason for giving up the convenience is security.  An exploit is
  discovered and possibly published.  Apache fixes the problem.  If I have
  built my own I can get the patch from Apache and  rebuild the web
 server.
  If I'm wedded to iAS I need to wait for Oracle to  incorporate the patch
  into its offering.  This could be a matter days to over a week.  However
  weighing-in on the 9 iAS side is the ease of installing a fix.  The
 Apache
  fix  for the aforementioned problem required  a rebuild; you need

Hi,
Assuming that all of the disk partitions are striped across all of the disk
you probably won't see any performance difference wherever you put the files
and whatever size you make them. At least nothing noticeable. 
If you can't change the disk layout maybe you can concentrate on

Hello, Guys,

Thought of making all of you aware with dirty game
played by Crescent Cc (www.crescent.cc).

I got trapped with this company's offer letter and
lost money, lost job, got lots of frustration etc.
.etc

Sharing this with all of you just thinking that - you
guys will think twice before taking job with such
fraud companies.

This company takes either Original degree certificate
or some big amount $$ from candidates to bring them in
US. This is OK, if they at least fulfill their
promises. But, this company simply puts candidate on
hold

I lost money... my few friends also lost money, couple
of them sent original degree certificate... and
company is not returning either their certificate or
money...

I am not sure - whether such companies are really
existing in US? Can any one of you guys check if you
stay in same town where company is having office?

You will see n number of people calling before you
sending certificate/money to them. Once they get
certificate/money, they don't care about candidates.

Few of those names are - Siva, Vidya Sharma, Yolandi
Vanzyl, Andrew Tadikonda, Sebastian, Mehnaz Ahmed
etc... etc

Their email addresses are -
Vidya - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Andrew Tadikonda - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Mehnaz Ahmed - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

   Unzipping the Release 11.5.7 Maintenance Pack requires an unzip
   utility capable of handling a zip archive with more than 65,536 files.
   For example, Info-ZIP's UnZip
   (http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/UnZip.html) version 5.41 or higher
   is capable of handling large zip archives. The UnZip source code is
   available for free, along with compiled executables of version 5.41 or
   higher for every Oracle Applications-certified operating system except
   IBM RS6000 AIX (please see below for alternatives).

  excerpt:
| UnZip 5.50
|
| The Third Most Portable Program in the World! *
|
| UnZip is an extraction utility for archives compressed in .zip format
|  (also called zipfiles). Although highly compatible both with
|  PKWARE's PKZIP and PKUNZIP utilities for MS-DOS and with Info-ZIP's
|  own Zip program, our primary objectives have been portability and
|  non-MSDOS functionality.

RE: Cognos

2002-07-19 Thread Jay Hostetter

We had a similiar experience here.  I would say that only 10% of the users are really 
using PowerPlay to its full potential.  It requires:
1) a person with analytical skills 
2) a person with a very good understanding of the data
3) a person that has time to play with the data.

Most of the other users bring up canned PowerPlay reports, and tweak a dimension or 
two.  Very few of them build their own reports and drill deep down into the data.
I still think it is a great tool.  I setup an cube based on the concurrent requests in 
our Oracle Financial system.  I can find bottlenecks in the concurrent managers, see 
who submits the most intensive reports, etc.

We have deployed cognos, first a local install on all P.C.'s and we
are now migrating to the Web based solution.

The original selling point was that everybody would be able to 
quickly and easily create their own reports, with the users
accessing our production databases. How wrong that was.

What we have now is a central database (we
call it a datawarehouse) that houses snapshots and custom reporting
tables.  All reports are basically canned, and we have a staff member
who function is to maintain/build reports and the warehouse.  At some
point I am sure that users will be able to create their own reports, but
from our datawarehouse, not production.

Anybody have any experience with Cognos?  We've got a bhb that thinks its
the solution for giving every end user access to the raw data
(groan...loudly!)...  I've argued every which-a-way against the concept, now
I have to fight the specifics

RE: Sequence number generation

So far we haven't gotten into a problem of locking, there are about 15-20

I really don't see where this method scores over a sequence number. But I
can see a number of places where it loses out.
What happens when you select from the table and then don't commit the
transaction that selected it? You'll still have a gap in your sequence.
It's the same as a sequence but with a larger overhead, slower performance
and Igor mentioned the possibility of locks on the table stopping the update
processes altogether.

 To have a better control, we always use tables for holding counters.
 Depending upon the requirement, either one table to hold different
counters
 or multiple tables, sometime in master tables as well.

 This does not any additional coding, the trigger in which you fetch from
 sequence you select from table. To keep it synchronized with the
 transaction, we make counter table block

 HTH!

 It is not possible to avoid sequence number loss .
 If a user requests a sequence number, then ultimately rolls back that
 transaction,
 that sequence number is lost .

 However you can catch such lost sequence numbers programatically and reuse
 then.
 that would require a bit of extra coding.
