Speeding up LIKE '%something%'

 The queuetype field has only 3 different values. The value in the contents field is 
close to being unique (high cardinality) but, as you can see, they are picking off a 
value somewhere in the middle of a varchar2(4000) field. Understandably, their query 
is slow. Is there anything I can do with an index to speed this up?

I think that if it's 'TrackingEventId' which REALLY interests your users
(as opposed to any random string of characters within CONTENTS) you
should train your users into expressing their query as something similar
to
  to_number(substr(CONTENTS,
   decode(instr(CONTENTS, 'TrackingEventId='),
0, length(CONTENTS),
   instr(CONTENTS,
'TrackingEventId=')+16), 8))
  = 27668677

(I do *not* guarantee the number of parentheses :) and I assume that the
number is always 8-digit long - adapt).
This  nice expression would allow you to create a function based index.
In fact, you could then create a view above the table which would
directly include a TRACKINGEVENTID column defined as above, and,
assuming the FBI, your users could query :

SELECT  EventId, QueueType, Publisher, CreateTime, LastReadTime,
RemoveTime,
  Contents, Ver
from
V_EventQueueEntry 
where QueueType = 'CodeUpdate'
AND TrackingEventId=27668677
ORDER BY EventId

Another solution would be to add a column, and extract the information
as it is inserted (trigger) to fill the column - which you would of
course index.

If many different chunks of CONTENTS can be queried, I would consider
Intermedia.

Re: Help on resolving block number and file number from 10046 trace to table or index

2002-10-16 Thread Connor McDonald

This is a known oversight...I haven't verified this,
but I've read that you can use the 8.1.6+ one, or the
9.2 one if you've got it handy.  In the 8.1 case, the
timings may be a little off due to the change in

Hi,

Please try the following script in SQL*Plus:

This will prompt you for the session_id for which you want to see the

 Is there any way to see the currently running SQL in one session? I

which one is currently running. And more, if I execute a stored procedure,
which SQL statements could be seen in v$open_cursor?

Any clues would be much appreciated.

Connections with WebLogic (5.1) and Oracle 8.1.7 on Solaris

2002-10-16 Thread Joshua Becker

Hi all,

we are facing strange problems with our environment.
we are using weblogic and solaris8 with 8.1.7.3. 

It seems that somehow amount of cumulative connections
is getting extremely high and it seems that WL is
doing db connection each time user clicks the
aplication. Is there any parameter on oracle side
causing this.

We have tested this with two similar environment and
other seems to work ok and other does generate these
connections but we do not find any reason for the
different behaviour...

Any ideas...

Rgds,
Joshua

RE: Speeding up LIKE '%something%'

2002-10-16 Thread Robson, Peter

Seems to me there may be a case for a little normalisation here - do I
understand the field 'contents' to include aggregates of various data
attributes? Oh dear...

Although a functional index would probably help, it is simply masking a
major design flaw. Get that corrected, and the basic integrity of the data
improves straight away.

Re: Can I index this query?

2002-10-16 Thread Darshan Singh

Hi,
Atleast you can do one thing if you are having Oracle Pratitioning then just
partition it on the QueueType field provided you are having almost same
number of 3 different values. Place all partition on differnet harddisks and
if possible put them on different controllers.
In that case your query response time will reduce to 1/3.

Or If you are having Bitmap index option and not much insertion or deletion
going on in this table then u can create a bitmap index on QueueType Field.
Bitmap index are used for low cardinality columns only.

I hope this may help you.

Thanks  Regards

2002-10-16 Thread John . Hallas

Marul,
These are 2 different utilities with 2 different functions and end results
 
Analyze schema with compute looks at all the indexes in that schema , reads
every block and produces statistics which the cost based optimiser can use
to determine the best execution path
 
Rebuilding an index can be used for one of 2 purposes. Either to move an
index to another tablespace without dropping it first (or re-enabling the
index after the table itself has been moved) or to defragment the index.
 
Only you can now how your system is being used, whether a lot of
updates/inserts/deletes are taking place, what the growth rate is. From that
information you can determine when to rebuild an object.
However the analyze routine does need to be run at least once if you wish to
have Oracle select the best execution path. After that it needs to be run on
any objects (tables/indexes) where volume or content has changed
significantly from the last time the analyze was run.

Hi,
 
Can anybody please tell me the difference between -
 
SQL  execute DBMS_UTILITY.ANALYZE_SCHEMA('BLAH','COMPUTE',NULL,30,'FOR ALL

and 
SQL  select 'ALTER INDEX ' || INDEX_NAME || ' REBUILD ONLINE;' from

If I execute any one the above do i need to execute the other also?
 
After how many days/hour it should be executed.

Re: Difference - Rebuild and Analyze index

2002-10-16 Thread Darshan Singh



Hi,
There is one major difference is that rebuilding 
index removes the internal fragmentation and analyze just calculat the 
statistics.
The frequency of analyzing schema depends on the 
schema modification frequency.
One can do this on weekly basis, mostly done on 
week end with cron jobs.

 Howdy,
 
 I have a table that has almost 2 million rows called eventqueueentry. The layout looks like this:

 QUEUETYPE NOT NULL CHAR(16)
 PUBLISHER NOT NULL CHAR(16)
 CREATETIME NOT NULL DATE

 '%TrackingEventId=27668677%' ORDER BY EventId
 
 The queuetype field has only 3 different values. The value in the contents field is close to being unique (high cardinality) but, as you can see, they are picking off a value somewhere in the middle of a varchar2(4000) field. Understandably, their query is slow. Is there anything I can do with an index to speed this up?

I think that if it's 'TrackingEventId' which REALLY interests your users
(as opposed to any random string of characters within CONTENTS) you
should train your users into expressing their query as something similar
to
 to_number(substr(CONTENTS,
 decode(instr(CONTENTS, 'TrackingEventId='),
0, length(CONTENTS),
 instr(CONTENTS,
'TrackingEventId=')+16), 8))
 = 27668677


(I do *not* guarantee the number of parentheses :) and I assume that the
number is always 8-digit long - adapt).
This nice expression would allow you to create a function based index.
In fact, you could then create a view above the table which would
directly include a TRACKINGEVENTID column defined as above, and,
assuming the FBI, your users could query :


SELECT EventId, QueueType, Publisher, CreateTime, LastReadTime,
RemoveTime,
 Contents, Ver
from
V_EventQueueEntry 
where QueueType = 'CodeUpdate'
AND TrackingEventId=27668677
ORDER BY EventId


Another solution would be to add a column, and extract the information
as it is inserted (trigger) to fill the column - which you would of
course index.


If many different chunks of CONTENTS can be queried, I would consider
Intermedia.

Re: role/priv. reqd to create/support a management server repository

2002-10-16 Thread Reginald . W . Bailey


You can use the default userid that OEM creates for repository ownership
(SYSMAN) and call it a day. OR Look at the privileges that SYSMAN has and
compare it
to the userid you created.  I would suspect that some system privileges
would have to be granted directly to the userid instead of via a role.  Try
granting the simple
privs first, like CREATE SESSION, ALTER USER, CREATE TABLE, etc.  Remember,
privileges inherited via a role are not active while executing a stored
procedure. DBA is a role.

Problem installing Oracle 8.1.7 on Windows 2000

Hi,
I am installing Oracle 8.1.7 on a MS Windows 2000 SP 3 system. When I get to
the Net8 Configuration assistant, process jrew.exe goes to 100% of the CPU.
I have let it run for over 15 minutes before stopping it from the Oracle
installer. The process stops using the CPU but the Oracle installer hangs. I
have to cancel the installer. If I try to create a database, I get a TNS
adapter error. I have installed 8.1.7 on Windows NT without a problem. I
have opened a TAR. Anyone experience this problem?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Double Take and Oracle

2002-10-16 Thread Denham Eva
Title:  Double Take and Oracle





Hello Dick and All who contributed to this thread.


Amazingly this software Double-Take(DT) worked over night. Basically what the DT Technician did over the evening was to re-replicate the files and re-mirror the files. This morning we restarted the database and she came up as if nothing had occurred.

I for one was impressed. The database that I left last night was a very unhappy little creature. Apparently the techie decided to re-replicate as he had not done that since the first day. That is his explanation.

Once again thanks for your advice.
Damagement are smiling again, Thank God it was not an Oracle problem.
Regards
Denham Eva

Kind of urgent database not autostarting after upgrade

RE: Access with ACCESS

2002-10-16 Thread Jesse, Rich

Unfortunately, not really.  If your Oracle version is at least 8i (you don't
say which you're using), you could create a LOGON trigger where you could
glean the PROGRAM variable set by the client.  The problem with this is
that MS can sometimes have very long path names to get to MSACCESS.EXE,
which will then be truncated by the PROGRAM size of 50 chars (or is it
64?).  And different versions of Winders puts the forsaken tool in different
locations.  You could *mostly* prevent ACCESS from access, but it can never
be 100%.

How do I stop users from accessing Oracle tables with Access?  They have
rights to the tables in Oracle and should have those rights, yet I do not
want anyone to be able to pull the data off into an access database.  Is it
possible to stop this without taking their privileges to the Oracle tables

RE: Need help from anybody using veritas netbackup on Nt

2002-10-16 Thread Naveen Nahata



Veritas comes with Oracle Agent, which you can use to take the backup of 
ur DB while it is running. Oracle agent puts each tablespace in hot backup mode 
and then copies the DataFiles.

Configure the backup using Oracle Agent rather than open-file option 
which uses the O/S level backup.

RE: Kind of urgent database not autostarting after upgrade

2002-10-16 Thread Naveen Nahata

I'm not sure about the upgrade from WinNT to Win2K, but the easiest remedy
for the DB not auto-starting is to delete and re-create the service.

You can use ORADIM, and then while re-creating the service, you can use
option of autostart.

Arun 



Im using RMAN with NetBackup on
Solaris without any issues. What is the exact error message that youre
getting? Im assuming that its showing up in the Alert Log,
and not the NetBackup logs.



It might be best if you provide the
scripts youre using to facilitate the backup. It honestly sounds
like youre trying to do a cold backup while the database is still up,
but thats just a guess.

You can do this anytime and it will not have any effect on the db.

At that point Oracle suggested to upgrade to 8.17 as 8.16 is not
supported on WIN2K server
2. Installed Oracle 8.17, set the home to 8.17 migrated 1 db as a test;
all other dbs were started via batch script

The new (migrated db still exhibits the original symptoms after the
upgrade) which were
If you try to connect via sql+ I get Oracle not available
The db is listed as starting rather than started
I must physically start the db using SQL startup pfile=...
Or

e.g.
[startup.bat]
svrmgrl.exe command='@C:\db_startup\initdb8i.sql' 
C:\sleep 3
svrmgrl.exe command='@C:\db_startup\initdbdev.sql' 
...

[initdb8i.sql]
connect internal/password@db8i
startup pfile=T:\Admin\db8i\PFILE\initdb8i.ora
exit 

Oracle is saying this is bug 1266248 which precisely describes the
problem

Does anyone have any info or a solution for this??

As always many thanks

RE: Kind of urgent database not autostarting after upgrade

2002-10-16 Thread Bob Metelsky

 
 I'm not sure about the upgrade from WinNT to Win2K, but the 
 easiest remedy for the DB not auto-starting is to delete and 
 re-create the service.
 
 You can use ORADIM, and then while re-creating the service, 
 you can use option of autostart.
 
 Regards
 Naveen
 

Hi 

Yes, that's part of the problem/original bug where oradim could not
recreate the service after deleting it. You need to reboot. Here is the
bug 1266248


Problem is with the call that is made to ORADIM.EXE by the service when
the  registry entry ora_sid_autostart=true.  Oradim hangs, the service
is shown to  be in status 'starting' and the service oracleservicesid
cannot be stopped.

ORACLE.EXE must be killed from Task Manager, and ORADIM.EXE cannot be
killed.Setting reg entry ora_sid_autostart=false, and rebooting,
resolves the issue,  leaving us, of course, without an aotostart option.


 It is worth noting that dispite the status of the service, the database
can be  started and stopped manually from Server Manager.  The error is
only on the  service attempting to autostart the database. We removed
and rebuilt oracleservicesid using Oradim, and this fixed the  problem
temporarily. 

We were able to use the service to start/stop, until a  reboot, after
which the same problem occurs. 


I was just off the phone with Oracle, and was advised to start another
tar...

Thanks

Drop snapshot ORA-03113

Good day to all

8.1.7.4 Ent. edition on Windows NT4/SP5

I have performed fromuser = X / touser = Y import and (at a first glance)
everything is fine, as it is supposed to be.

But...

I have noticed that there are some snapshots and one refresh group in
database now, that belong to the user X - but user X does not exit in db
where import is performed.

Since I don't need those snapshots,  I try to drop (as sys user) those
snapshots and group and then I get ORA-03113.

What is going on?

Re: Difference - Rebuild and Analyze index

2002-10-16 Thread ora ak
Yes Marul , I think there is a big differenece in them . When you are rebulding the index means you are re-organzing the entries in the index , may be removing the entries for the rows deleted in past and so forth so on. But this doesn't generate any statistics about index.
When you analyze index, you generate information ( statistics) about the data in index , like leaf blocks or depth of index etc. 
None of these should require orther , but they have some effect .
Like if you rebuild index , after that you dont have latest statistics and queries may not perform upto mark .

RE: Can I index this query?

2002-10-16 Thread Jesse, Rich

I don't think it's really that big of a step.  Until a rewrite of our
3rd-party inventory system (i.e. we didn't write the damn thing), we have to
rely on part description stored in two separate tables (don't ask!) in order
to search for parts.

By installing and adding a Context/Intermedia/Text/whateverthehell index,
we've gone from a two-table FTS (200K total rows on moderately wide tables)
to sub-second index access.  The difficulties in getting to this point are:

1)  Understanding Oracle Text concepts.  Read the book!

2)  Being able to change the SQL to use the OText special CONTAINS clause.

3)  Understanding the data to be able to setup your thesaurus correctly.

4)  Determining if/when to rebuild the index.

It took me about a week of research and testing before installing and using
it (of course that week's work was spread over three weeks!), and a day or
two of tweaks afterwards.  In my case, I needed to also create some
replication-like triggers and tables to combine data from our two tables
into a single, indexable, searchable table.

Fire it up!  We've been pretty happy with the results (except when a user
wants to return every row with a Z in the string...sigh).

GL!  :)

RE: Kind of urgent database not autostarting after upgrade

2002-10-16 Thread Bishop Lewis

Download the kill utility from www.sysinternals.com - that'll let you kill
almost anything. I agree with previous posts in that you should try to kill
off the services/shutdown the db, and remove them using ORADIM. If this
doesn't remove the services then remove them using INSTSRV -REMOVE [1] from
the resource kit (that will get rid of them), then recreate using ORADIM.

Make sure you use the correct ORADIM binaries (right version) for the
removal and recreation of the services.

[1] Be aware though that once the services are gone, if you can't recreate
them then you could be facing a more serious error than you currently have.

AW: Problem installing Oracle 8.1.7 on Windows 2000

Check if a Listener Service is installed and running, if not, try to create
a Listener Service with the Net8 Configuration Assistant.

This doesn't solve the jrew problem, but you get your database running.

Hi,
I am installing Oracle 8.1.7 on a MS Windows 2000 SP 3 system. When I get to
the Net8 Configuration assistant, process jrew.exe goes to 100% of the CPU.
I have let it run for over 15 minutes before stopping it from the Oracle
installer. The process stops using the CPU but the Oracle installer hangs. I
have to cancel the installer. If I try to create a database, I get a TNS

have opened a TAR. Anyone experience this problem? Any help will be greatly

Good day to all

8.1.7.4 Ent. edition on Windows NT4/SP5

I have performed fromuser = X / touser = Y import and (at a first glance)
everything is fine, as it is supposed to be.

But...

I have noticed that there are some snapshots and one refresh group in
database now, that belong to the user X - but user X does not exit in db
where import is performed.

Since I don't need those snapshots,  I try to drop (as sys user) those
snapshots and group and then I get ORA-03113.

What is going on?

Unfortunately, not really.  If your Oracle version is at least 8i (you don't
say which you're using), you could create a LOGON trigger where you could
glean the PROGRAM variable set by the client.  The problem with this is
that MS can sometimes have very long path names to get to MSACCESS.EXE,
which will then be truncated by the PROGRAM size of 50 chars (or is it
64?).  And different versions of Winders puts the forsaken tool in different
locations.  You could *mostly* prevent ACCESS from access, but it can never
be 100%.

RE: Need help from anybody using veritas netbackup on Nt

2002-10-16 Thread Ron Rogers

Arun,
 We use Veritas Netbackup to backup the database. IT LIES when is says
that it is backing it up without a lock. Work with your vendor to get it
straightened out if you can.
The Oracle agent will effectivly perform the hot backups and work
with netbackup to copy the datafiles that are in the hot backup mode.
 We perform cold backups each night but if the backup has not completed
on the database server when it is restarted AND netbackup performs a
backup of a datafile that the database wants to use the netbackup has it
locked and the database will take it offline. Datafile recovery is then
needed to get the database working again.
There should have been an Oralce Agent purchased for the server to
allow the hot backup the function. Read the manual and setup procedures
completely. We could'nt get it to work on a hybrid NT, Novell network.

RE: Need help from anybody using veritas netbackup on Nt

2002-10-16 Thread Stephen Lee



If the NT admins 
are backing up up your data files, there is a high probability that your files 
are getting locked by that. You must tell the admins not to backup any 
file system ... er "folder" ... that contains files used by the Oracle 
instance. In other words, your problem might have nothing to do with your 
backup stuff, but somebody else's backup stuff.

You must 
understand that NT is still a single-user operating system. It doesn't 
understand the concept of having multiple users doing their own thing, in their 
own slice of turf,on the box. If it wants to lock a file, it will do 
so assuming that, since it wants to use the file, nobody else needs to use 
it.

Which is why we 
moved all of our Oracle databases off NT.

NT = Neanderthal

[ST-GSPUSER.US@oracle.com: Updated Security Alert #42 patch]

2002-10-16 Thread Ray Stell


These people are really irritating?  Not only do they release bad
patches, they don't provide a checksum on the patch files.  I have
to play a guessing game as to when a file was downloaded.  I've seen 
better support from high school students (literally).   What a bunch 
of amateurs!

Those last two sentences would not be included if oracle would provide
a checksum for the zip files.  It is a fundamental aspect of internet file 
serving.  It provides another level of security and in this case clarity.  
I can see making mistakes in the code, but to not provide this level 
of service when it is so easily done is not unforgivable.  

Anybody at oracle listening?   geez, Louis!

why not use encryption outside the database and store encrypted

Check if a Listener Service is installed and running, if not, try to create

Yes Marul , I think there is a big differenece in them . When you are
rebulding the index means you are re-organzing the entries in the index ,
may be removing the entries for the rows deleted in past and so forth so
on. But this doesn't generate any statistics about index.


When you analyze index, you generate information ( statistics) about the
data in index , like leaf blocks or depth of index etc.


None of these should require orther , but they have some effect .


Like if you rebuild index , after that you dont have latest statistics and
queries may not perform upto mark .

RE: Can I index this query? slightly OT-just InterMedia Text option

Jesse,
since you o have such a good experience, could you please comment on the following:
I have installed InterMedia Text (8.1.7 on Win2K sp.2)  and 400MB has grown to 4.5 GB.
There are 4 required indices, two for each table - on English and French version of 
varchar2(2000). Number of data base objects (user + ctxsys schemas) is 4 times larger.
Search is perfect, inserts are using 100% CPU and killing the server.

I don't think it's really that big of a step.  Until a rewrite of our
3rd-party inventory system (i.e. we didn't write the damn thing), we have to
rely on part description stored in two separate tables (don't ask!) in order
to search for parts.

By installing and adding a Context/Intermedia/Text/whateverthehell index,
we've gone from a two-table FTS (200K total rows on moderately wide tables)
to sub-second index access.  The difficulties in getting to this point are:

1)  Understanding Oracle Text concepts.  Read the book!

2)  Being able to change the SQL to use the OText special CONTAINS clause.

3)  Understanding the data to be able to setup your thesaurus correctly.

4)  Determining if/when to rebuild the index.

It took me about a week of research and testing before installing and using
it (of course that week's work was spread over three weeks!), and a day or
two of tweaks afterwards.  In my case, I needed to also create some
replication-like triggers and tables to combine data from our two tables
into a single, indexable, searchable table.

Fire it up!  We've been pretty happy with the results (except when a user
wants to return every row with a Z in the string...sigh).

Multiple Listeners

2002-10-16 Thread Rachna Vaidya

DBAs,

Any quick start guides / scripts / notes for having multiple version
listeners on same Solaris box?


Scenario :
I am in process of upgrading.
There are two databases on a machine db6 and db7
db6 - 8.1.6
db7 - 8.1.6
db6 and db7 use the listener of version 8.1.6

Now,
db7 migrated to 8.1.6
I am thinking of something like :
db6 - listener of 8.1.6 (status quo)
db7 - listener_817 of 8.1.7 (new version listener)

Two separate listener.ora files

lsnrctl status listener (for 8.1.6 listener)
lsnrctl status listener_817 (for 8.1.7 listener)


Thanks in advance,

ETL architecture

2002-10-16 Thread paquette stephane

Hi,

On all DW project I've been, the ETL tool was on the
database server containing the DW database.

On the current project, the architecture team has
decided that the ETL tool (Data Junction) will be on
its own server (Windows) to service all projects
needing  ETL processing.
We are the first client of this approach. All sources
will ftp their files on the unix box where the
staging/data integration database is. 
So that means that the the ETL tool on server A will
read the files and the reference tables from server B,
process that on server A and insert the cleansed data
on server B.

Somewhere I'm not confortable with that approach.
Any comments ?

You can use the 'higher' version of the listener for all databases running
on = higher version, unless you need multiple listeners for other
reasons Net8 Admin Guide should have enough information.

RE: Multiple Listeners

2002-10-16 Thread Mercadante, Thomas F

Rachna,

Do yourself a favor - use the most recent listener for all databases.  Have
only one listener running on a machine and use that for all databases on
that machine.  In your case, use the 817 listener.

In the long run, it will be much easier and less confusing.

Hope this helps.

export ORACLE_BASE=/oracle/app/oracle

Re:Access with ACCESS

2002-10-16 Thread dgoulet

Laura,

I have to admit to having the Access virus here as well.  Most of the end
users of Access simply use pass through queries or attach the tables which is
not too bad.  Access provides an easy interface for end users to get at data, so
that makes my life easier as well.  What I really do not appreciate is when
users create Access tables that are copies of Oracle data because sooner or
later (sooner no doubt) these static tables become stale and then the real
battles start.  At least here the decision makers are smart enough to ask the
question of where did the data come from in the case of the report/graph that
does not pass the sniff test.

How do I stop users from accessing Oracle tables with Access?  They have

possible to stop this without taking their privileges to the Oracle tables

RMAN lost RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER after upgrade from 816 to 817

2002-10-16 Thread Rachna Vaidya

DBAs,

It seems that RMAN user has lost the RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER 
role when I upgraded the catalog database from 816 to 817.

I could not even connect to the database as rman user.
It even lacked CREATE SESSION.

I tried giving grant create session to rman;
and I could connect.

Later on, upon running upgrade catalog
I got hundreds of error messages (mostly looked like
permissions issue).
After grant RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER to rman;
upgrade catalog seemed to work fine.

Has anyone experienced anything similar?

Thanks,

-Rachna

2002-10-16 Thread Jesse, Rich

Unfortunately Inka, I don't know if I can help you.  There are so many other
people on this list that are much more adept at perf tuning than I, it ain't
even funny.  Our single OText index only takes up 70MB total, and the
indexed column has very low maintenance with less than 50 inserts/updates
per day (no deletes).  This is fine for a 6-way HP K570, even though the
CPUs are only 200Mhz PA-RISC.

If I had to guess, though, I'd say most folks here would have you start with
a thourough 10046 trace on the SQL.

Sorry I can't be of more help!

 Jesse,
 since you o have such a good experience, could you please 
 comment on the following:
 I have installed InterMedia Text (8.1.7 on Win2K sp.2)  and 
 400MB has grown to 4.5 GB.
 There are 4 required indices, two for each table - on English 
 and French version of varchar2(2000). Number of data base 
 objects (user + ctxsys schemas) is 4 times larger.
 Search is perfect, inserts are using 100% CPU and killing the server.
 
 What have I done wrong? Do you have any idea? By the way, I 
 have read TFM.
 
 TIA
 inka

Re: Multiple Listeners

2002-10-16 Thread Rachna Vaidya

Thanks for the inputs.
This is how I did it.

1. There are two listener.ora files
   /opt/app/oracle/product/816/listener.ora : FILE816
   /opt/app/oracle/product/817/listener.ora : FILE817
   FILE817 is a copy of FILE816

2. Entries for db7 are removed from FILE816
   FILE816 listner name is left unchanged as LISTENER
   FILE816 entry for IPC was left unchanged :
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))
   FILE816 entry for PORT was left unchanged :
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = lightening)(PORT = 1521))

3. Entries for db6 are removed from FILE817 and ORACLE_HOME path changes are
made
   FILE817 listner name was changed to LISTENER_817
   FILE817 entry for IPC was changed as :
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_817))
   ORACLE_HOME path changes were made to FILE817
   FILE817 entry for PORT was changed as :
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = lightening)(PORT = 1526))

4. To use 816 listener

ORACLE_HOME=$/opt/app/oracle/product/816
cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop listener
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start listener
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl status listener

9. To use 817 listener

ORACLE_HOME=$/opt/app/oracle/product/817
cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop listener_817
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start listener_817
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl status listener_817

And I think I am having
a. two separate Listeners
b. for two different databases
c. in different version (having different ORACLE_HOME)
d. listening at different ports

Am I correct or there is some mistake / improvement?

Thanks for the inputs.

 Hi,
 
 On all DW project I've been, the ETL tool was on the

 On the current project, the architecture team has
 decided that the ETL tool (Data Junction) will be on
 its own server (Windows) to service all projects
 needing  ETL processing.
 We are the first client of this approach. All sources
 will ftp their files on the unix box where the
 staging/data integration database is. 
 So that means that the the ETL tool on server A will
 read the files and the reference tables from server B,
 process that on server A and insert the cleansed data
 on server B.
 
 Somewhere I'm not confortable with that approach.
 Any comments ?

RE: ETL architecture

2002-10-16 Thread Frank Pettinato

Stephane,
We used this approach (albiet on Windows) back in 97-98. We processed ETL
from about 300 different customers including several large ones with files 
50MB weekly. We saw very good performance from the tool. If I had to pick a
problem with this tool it would be the ability to detect errors and stop
processing or use some type of exception handling. This was a few years ago,
so it may have gotten better since then.

Hope this helps,

RE: Multiple Listeners

2002-10-16 Thread John Weatherman

I respectfully disagree.  I am currently working on a Sun 4500
cluster with Veritas.  The cluster services each maintain their
own nic/ip, that's 1 per instance.  Obviously, each instance 
also has its own listener.  This has been very easy to implement
and not at all confusing.  It also avoids things like where you
can't use a 8.0.5+ listener for 8.0.4- instances.  Each SID has
its own listener at its own version level.  I would suggest 
coming up with a good standard for determining ports and such
however.  For instance, I use 15 concatenated with the last 2 
digits of the assigned IP.

Before walking into the cluster world, I would have agreed with
Tom.  Of course now I have seperate HOMEs for each instance too.

Rachna,

Do yourself a favor - use the most recent listener for all databases.  Have
only one listener running on a machine and use that for all databases on
that machine.  In your case, use the 817 listener.

In the long run, it will be much easier and less confusing.

Hope this helps.

You can use the 'higher' version of the listener for all databases running

Title: RE: Urgent problem with query in CBO Vs RBO





Thanks ...


so far Oracle had completely understood the problem and looks like we may be hitting some bug in CBO. I am awaiting the bug#, I don't know that yet.

The same query works fine if I do a 'alter session set optimizer_mode=rule'; though ..

Raj,


 I understand your concern about the disappearing EXISTS but I think
that it would be sensible to try to get the plan using different tools
(plain old EXPLAIN followed by a query on PLAN_TABLE, set autotrace,
tkprof ...) to be sure that the bug really is in the parser, and not in
the output of the plan.
 Your 'adding a GROUP BY' leaves me a little suspicious. Are you sure
that your query was correct (in the absolute sense) initially? I am
asking the question because I remember one day somebody coming to me
triumphantly saying 'I have found a big bug in Oracle' because a query
which used to give the good result (not exactly the same as 'which was
correct') was suddenly (after I think the addition of hints) miserably
failing with a mysterious data conversion error. On closer inquiry, it
appeared that a VARCHAR2 column was compared to a number, which, as most
people who once asked themselves 'Why is Oracle *NOT* using my index ?'
know, forces an implicit to_number() of the VARCHAR2 column. What
happened is that this column mostly contained numbers represented as
strings, but for a '***' or similar somewhere. With one execution plan,
other criteria caused this row to be filtered out before the comparison
on this very column. Not with the other execution plan.
The GROUP BY sounds a bit like a DISTINCT to me, a convenient way to fix
a missing join, or perhaps some hazardous play on ROWNUM or similar.
Just my gut feeling.

Sql question : use of SUBSTR/INSTR functions

2002-10-16 Thread Johan Muller

Help!

Anybody have a quick and dirty to parse the 4 octets of a typical IP address
into 4 separate values. I will insert these into a table where  database
checks may  verify that the data is in fact a number and also part of a
valid ip range (the second thru fourth octets cannot be higher than 255. The
source data is very dirty and often fat-fingered, hence the painful
solution):

e.g.: 127.0.0.1 into 127 (val 1), 0 (val 2), 0 (val 3) and 1 (val 4).

I have used various flavors of substr/instr to unravel this, but the varying
length of the octets (up to 3 bytes) defeats my rudimentary sql coding
skills. I probably have to attack the IP with decode, and any input will be
very welcome.

Running V 8.1.6.

There are two databases on a machine db6 and db7
db6 - 8.1.6
db7 - 8.1.6
db6 and db7 use the listener of version 8.1.6

Now,
db7 migrated to 8.1.6

db7 - listener_817 of 8.1.7 (new version listener)

Two separate listener.ora files

lsnrctl status listener (for 8.1.6 listener)

Subject:ETL architecture


Hi,

On all DW project I've been, the ETL tool was on the
database server containing the DW database.

On the current project, the architecture team has
decided that the ETL tool (Data Junction) will be on
its own server (Windows) to service all projects
needing  ETL processing.
We are the first client of this approach. All sources
will ftp their files on the unix box where the
staging/data integration database is. 
So that means that the the ETL tool on server A will
read the files and the reference tables from server B,
process that on server A and insert the cleansed data
on server B.

Somewhere I'm not confortable with that approach.
Any comments ?

Re: Multiple Listeners

2002-10-16 Thread Reginald . W . Bailey


It is better to have a single Listener per server, unless you have multiple
servers that use high availability fail over  between the servers.  The
single listener should be the most recent one on the server.  It is
backwards compatible with Oracle8i versions and Oracle7 databases.  There
is no need to run multiple listeners on the same server, especially when
the versions are just one release off from each other (e.g. 8.1.6 and
8.1.7).  A single listener and  a single Intelligent Agent should be all
that is needed.  It may be clever to see if multiple listeners can run, but
even Oracle will tell you that running multiple listeners is worse than
foolish.:)  In addition to changing the Oracle Home, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
LIBPATH would have to be changed as well to match the libraries to the
correct version of the listener.

Trust me, you only need one version of the Listener up.  I have three
versions of Oracle on a server: Oracle7, Oracle8i v8.1.7 and Oracle9i
v9.2.0.  I use the Oracle9i listener and agent on the servers. It allows
seamless connections to all the databases.

This is how I did it.

1. There are two listener.ora files
   /opt/app/oracle/product/816/listener.ora : FILE816
   /opt/app/oracle/product/817/listener.ora : FILE817
   FILE817 is a copy of FILE816

2. Entries for db7 are removed from FILE816
   FILE816 listner name is left unchanged as LISTENER
   FILE816 entry for IPC was left unchanged :
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))
   FILE816 entry for PORT was left unchanged :
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = lightening)(PORT = 1521))

3. Entries for db6 are removed from FILE817 and ORACLE_HOME path changes
are
made
   FILE817 listner name was changed to LISTENER_817
   FILE817 entry for IPC was changed as :
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_817))
   ORACLE_HOME path changes were made to FILE817
   FILE817 entry for PORT was changed as :
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = lightening)(PORT = 1526))

4. To use 816 listener

ORACLE_HOME=$/opt/app/oracle/product/816
cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop listener
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start listener
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl status listener

9. To use 817 listener

ORACLE_HOME=$/opt/app/oracle/product/817
cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop listener_817
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start listener_817
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl status listener_817

And I think I am having
a. two separate Listeners
b. for two different databases
c. in different version (having different ORACLE_HOME)
d. listening at different ports

Am I correct or there is some mistake / improvement?
