Spooling data containing Umlaut character (DB characterset UTF8)

2002-09-13 Thread Karthikeyan S

Hi, 
We are trying to extract the data from the oracle database 8.1.7. which contains 
special characters like umlaut. 
The Characterset of Oracle db is UTF8 and the Character set at Client side is 
AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8. While we spool the data from the Oracle db an extra space 
(byte) is added if umlaut character exists. 
For example : 'MÜNCHEN' - If we query the size it shows 7 bytes but while spooling to 
a flat file it takes 8 bytes. This problem exists only when the umlaut character and 
normal character exists like the above eg. If data contains only umlaut then we dont 
get this problem. Any info on this would be of great help. 

regards,
Karthik

Tom ,

I set REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE = EXCLUSIVE, gave the same name to the pw
file as suggested by you (though it was not mentioned anyewhere) and tried;
but still it's not working.

I can't figure out what can be the problem.

Pls help.

 Chetan,
 
 The NAME of the password file should be:
 
 PWD{sidname}.ORA.
 
 For example, if your Oracle Sid name is SB815, your password file should
 be
 named
 
 PWDSB815.ORA
 
 On NT boxes, upper/lower case of the file name does not matter.
 
 Hope this helps.

 Hi List ,
 
 I have Oracle 8.1.5 server on Win 2K machine. 
 
 When I try to connect as SYSDBA using SYS account from a remote machine it
 says ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied. Then I created
 a
 password file using ORAPWD utility and granted SYS and WIP (a newly
 created
 schema) the SYSDBA privilege. I also ensured that
 REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE
 is set to TRUE, but still I can not connect as SYSDBA.
 
 Following are the steps which I took.
 
 Step 1.  Created a password file as followed :
 
   D:\Oracle\Ora815\BINcd ..\dbs
   D:\Oracle\Ora815\DBSorapwd file=orapwsb815 password=oracle8i
 entries=30
 
 Step 2.  Grant SYS user the SYSDBA privilege by the following method

RE: SYSDBA privilege with ORAPWD utility

2002-09-13 Thread Naveen Nahata

Check for these things...

1. REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE = EXCLUSIVE in initSID.ora
2. ORA_SID_PWFILE = location_of_ur_passwordfile in the WINDOWS REGISTRY of
the server.
3. Check the SYS password, or from some other USER do a 'ALTER USER sys
IDENTIFIED BY ...' and then try connecting

I hope this works out. Most of the times we miss a very small and obvious
thing. Go systematically.

Naveen

recovery scenarios

Hello all,

when sometimes, oracle will ask tool old archive logs
that are even 2-3 days older, when recovering a
datafile that is taken from todays backup.

does it mean the datafile is not properly backed up or
something wrong with controlfile.

todya there is another scenario:

creating a database with gmittest from the cold backup
of production. 

when we tried to open up after mount, it is saying
system datafile needs recovery.

I copied all datafiles, ctl files and logfiles too.

does anybody have come across such situation.

thaks and regards,
srinivas

Locking Problem

2002-09-13 Thread Suman S K


Hi Everybody,


I am facing problem while invoice Processing.

We have Invoice_Header table and Invoice_Lines Table.

One Record in Invoice_Header table can have multiple related records
in Invoice_Lines.

We have not implemented locking mechanism at header level. So
whenever two user working on same invoice it creates problem.

Say One Invoice has 10 lines in Invoice_Lines Table and first user
pressed the Process Invoice button. It does so many validation and insert
records in subledger. Mean while another user can add new lines in same
Invoice result is discrepancy in printed copy and system records.


Can anybody tell me how to resolve this issue.


Thanks
Suman

If you don't want to apply criteria to the first part to see if data from
the second part is returned, you can avoid it by using an analytic
function.
Ok, the examples below might look a little complex, but basically you have
your UNION ALL in the inner most in-line view. In the in-line view
enclosing
that you use the count(*) over to know the total count of rows. You then
evaluate that count in the outer most in-line view. If the bottom half
returned rows, and you already know the top half will return 1, then a
count
greater than 1 means you found rows in the bottom query.

In this example, note the bottom part of the UNION ALL says 1=2, no row
will
be returned by the bottom query, and since the total count of rows will be
one, no rows are returned (the header is suppressed):

  1  select y.x
  2  From (select x.x, count (*) over () cnt
  3from (select 'x' x
  4  from   dual
  5  UNION ALL
  6  Select 'y'
  7  from   dual
  8  where 1=2) x ) y
  9* where y.cnt  1
SQL /

no rows selected

In this case, the bottom half returns a row (1=1), so you will get rows
since the cnt is  1:

SQL ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf

  1  select y.x
  2  From (select x.x, count (*) over () cnt
  3from (select 'x' x
  4  from   dual
  5  UNION ALL
  6  Select 'y'
  7  from   dual
  8  where 1=1) x ) y
  9* where y.cnt  1
SQL /

X

 Hi DBAs,

 I have a query something like

 SELECT sysdate,'txt1','txt2'
 FROM dual
 UNION
 SELECT date1,txtfield1,txtfield2
 FROM t1,t2,...,tn
 WHERE
 ... ;

 The output would be one header record from the first select then the data
 from the second select.
 If there are no records selected in second select the header record is
 still selected.  If there are no
 records in second select I do not want header record selected.  How can I
 suppress it? I do not want to apply the where
 clause in 2nd select to the first because of the complexity.

 Thanks
 Rick

Re: * Oracle 11i DBA position in Wisconsin..

2002-09-13 Thread Cherie_Machler


Baraboo is in a fairly rural area more than an hour from Madison or from
Milwaukee.   Neither of those cities are a vast metropolis.

Not everyone is keen to live in the country.   Plus I would imagine that a
DBA job in this part of the country wouldn't pay a massive salary.
However, the cost of living in Baraboo should be very reasonable and
Wisconsin Dells is a beautiful area.

RE: Another Character Set Problem

2002-09-13 Thread Cherie_Machler


The utility is called csscan for character set scan.  It runs at the unix
prompt with additional parameters (some optional and some not) much as
export or import would.   Before you use it the first time, you need to run
csminst.sql from $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin to set up the work tables, etc.

Scott,

1) I have to agree with Oracle's statement that you need to have a UTF8
database to handle Chinese and Japanese characters.  These characters
require multi-byte encoding to be stored and therefore a UTF8 database
is the way to go.

2) I am not sure where the Chinese and Japanese characters are stored,
but it is quite likely that you will fail to store them correctly in a
P1 database.

3) You can run a utility... Name escapes me that will check your
contents to see if changing character sets will result in a loss of
current data (this is an oracle supplied utility).

4) Alternately, you could export the contents of the database and import
them into a new WE...P1 database.  Make sure that you review metalink
docs on setting your NLS_LANG correctly for such imports and exports.

HTH,
-Ron-

We are currently having a character set problem.  We have a
third-party product that is used for on-line courses (Prometheus from
Blackboard, Inc.).  The character set that the instance was created with
was US7ASCII.  The vendor says it should be WE8ISO8859P1, but we need to
support Chinese and Japanese characters.  I contacted Oracle support,
and was told that the specified character set would not support those
characters, but that I should use UTF8.  I altered the instance to use
UTF8 and ran into a CLOB problem.  We installed patchset 4 (so we are
now 8.1.7.4.0 on Sun Solaris 2.8) and that problem went away.  However,
none of the CLOB data is rendered properly in the application and I
don't have a tool that allows me to see it directly out of the database.

I am tempted to try to change the character set to WE8ISO8859P1, as
the vendor requested, with the hope that any deficiencies in that
character set have been handled by their product.  At this point, can I
change the instance from UTF8 to WE8ISO8859P1?  I do have a tar open on
this issue and will be asking the same question there, but I'm hoping
I'll get a response here faster (ok, I'm expecting that I will).

Thank you.
