RE: Actual list of supported/desupported versions of Oracle

2002-10-21 Thread Bob Metelsky
 Bob - I don't feel Oracle makes it easy. They keep changing 
 the location and format. On Metalink, have you clicked on the 
 tab on the left side labeled Certify  Availability? Once 
 you are in that section, there are tabs at the top for 
 Product Availability and Desupport Notices. I don't think 
 the finite list of supported/desupported versions exists, but 
 you can get the information you need a piece at a time and 
 gradually build your list. Does that meet your requirements?


Yes, for sure they certainly do not make it easy. much akin to using the
space shuttle to cross the street) I did manage to find the info though
with your guys suggestions. Interestingly enough I entered desupported,
desupported versions, version support all with no results... sigh


What perplexes me now is the fact that Oracle Support told me on the
phone that they don't support any version less than 8.1.7 on WIN2K
server... I have 7.3.4, 8.0.5, 8.1.6.3 and now 8.1.7 from NT40 to WIN2K

From the documents on the web(below) it appears all platforms are
treated equal, so?? I suppose I have to propose that question to the
support tech again when I get them on the phone, now that I have the
actual documents from their website. Below is a clipping from pertaining
to the versions Im interested in.

Thanks to all for pointing me in the right direction..

Oracle now say that if the database interacts with any other system that has
users these must be counted too ! 

e.g. You have a database that runs a warehouse management system. If this
receives orders from another ERP type system via 
an interface and this system can take internet orders, even if it has its
own database license, then either 
you count all customers or use processor licensing.

Sean - I think you are recalling the old Concurrent Users. 

A named user is defined as follows:
Named User: is defined as an individual authorized by you to use the
programs which are installed on a single server or multiple servers,
regardless of whether the individual is actively using the programs at any
given time. A non human operated device will be counted as a Named User in
addition to all individuals authorized to use the programs, if such devices
can access the programs. If multiplexing hardware or software (e.g., a TAP
monitor or a Web server product) is used, this number must be measured at
the multiplexing front end.

I feel a good measure today is that anyone who can even contemplate
interacting with your database qualifies as a named user.

Re: services on windows?????

2002-10-21 Thread Jared . Still
Not exactly.

Someone else has already pointed out that registry entries can
be created to gracefully shutdown the database:  Doc ID 136214.1

If these are not setup properly, then stopping the services without
first shutting down the database is actually harsher than a shutdown 
abort.

This is also detailed somewhere on MetaLink, but I don't have the doc #.

You can stop the services, which should shutdown the database (for cold

But, that's not the only option. You can leave services running, and just 
shutdown the database (using svrmgrl, or sqlplus), and then do the cold 
backup.

Subject:RE: is this block cleanout ?


Stephane,
 The db version in question is 7.3.2. And as of 7.3 the init parameter,
delayed_logging_block_cleanouts, defaults to TRUE (for OPS and non-OPS). 
 From my understanding of the delayed block cleanout, when oracle commits 
a
transaction the blocks that it changed are not immediately marked with the
commit time. The change to blocks can be due to insert, update or delete.
However, if those blocks were still in the buffer cache, the cleanout will
take place immediately and there won't be any disk i/o for the cleanout. 
If
select count(*) is causing an FTS, then the changed blocks that are not in
the buffer cache may be getting cleaned.  If there is no FTS, then there 
is
something else going on And that's why I said 'sounds about right.'
Hopefully tracing the session may reveal what's going on...

Regards,
- Kirti

 when i do a count(*) an a 1.2GB table, just after an app finishes
inserting
 20 million records
 i can see from iostat that, that disk is being read as well as written 
to
 !!!
 
 the only reason i can think of WRITES being performed while being READ 
is
 the block cleanout is being performed by the count(*) !!
 
 i would appreciate if anyone could explain further !
 
 regards
 
 PS: 7.3.2 on AIX, the file is raw and async_io is true
 

Kirti,

  This is also what I thought, but wouldn't a 'count(*)' just use the
primary key? (Unless it is a 1.2 G unindexed table). Morover, in my mind
a block cleanout is associated with a delete, not an insert. Might it be
say the cleanout of temporary segments after say a direct load ?

Can 9iAS Rel2 still do SSLv2 40bit encryption?

2002-10-21 Thread Ben
Hi 

We have 9iAS Rel.1 running 40-bit and 128-bit encryption. We
are migrating to Release2 and I am wondering if it will still
allow 40-bit. The security guide says:

Clients can only connect with one of the specified protocols:

SSLv3 - SSL version 3.0

or

All - SSL version 3.0 and any other version supported
by Oracle products.

What do they mean by any other version supported? Are they
just leaving the door open for SSLv4?

9i external tables question

2002-10-21 Thread Ron Rogers
List,
 In the 4th Qtr 2002 Select Journal magazine there is an interesting
article by 
Robert G.Freeman of this list. 
Congratulations on being published again and helping the DBA's of the
world increase their knowledge.
The article talks about 9i external tables and it also creates a few
questions about using external tables. 
 Being a DBA I always try to make life easier for myself so I can use
my time more productively.
 The article describes in detail the method of creating external tables
and populating them from the alert_log. With the tables created you can
access them from the database after they are populated with a load
procedure. The updates to the external table are periodically made with
updates into a temp table controlled by a  scheduled job. While this
method would suffice for keeping a copy of the alert_log in the database
it is only up to date as the job that loads the temp and ultimately the
external table. 
 Working with different OS's can get confusing at times as the 
structure and commands can be different and confusing.  It would be much
nicer to create an external table that was actually the real alert_log
that was being used by Oracle then you could access the database with
the standard SQLPLUS command and select from the alert_log with any
condition you desire. That way you would not have to remember all of the
different locations and commands the view the alert_logs on different
servers.
 The conclusions section of the article is a key part and informs us
that this is just the beginning of the possibilities for external tables
and encourages us to experiment on our own.
  When I get through with the latest server migration and I get 9i
loaded in my test box I plan to experiment a lot.
Thanks for the article,
Ron Rogers

I implemented this a couple of months ago. One part of db is we send out a 'heartbeat' to our external customers. To see when the 'heartbeat' goes out, I made available the external log file as a table and wrote code that measures the time between to successive heartbeats as a view. Internal customers are happy, external customers are happy, and we don't get bugged about the times anymore.

RE: services on windows?????

2002-10-21 Thread Reginald . W . Bailey

James and list:

You can backup the database without stopping the services. Just shut it
down.  If you are going to attempt a restore and blow away the control
files, etc., then
by all means stop the services first.  The services would need the control
files to be present if it is to be restarted or the registry would have to
be changed.
A simple rule would be to stop the services if a restore needed to be done
or if the configuration and control files were going to be wiped.
Otherwise leave the services up.

Now can we move on? I think this issue has been debated enough.

Dear List,

I had a situation on a lone Windows/NT system a couple of years ago, where
I
had installed 8i and was testing a number of facilities prior to going
online with an application.  Since I wasn't familiar with NT, I played
around a bit, the final step of which was to test recovery with a cold
backup.  So I did a shutdown immediate and took a cold backup of the
database (while having left the Oracle services up).  Frankly I didn't
**purposely**  leave the services up because it didn't enter my mind that I
had to do so or not.

All I know is that when I blew away the existing database control, data,
and
log files, and restored them with the cold backup for a test of recovery,
the database would not start back up.  (I didn't note what the specific
error messages were because I was in a big hurry at the time and could't
mess around with it.)  I DO know that I was stunned at this because on UNIX
and Netware, I never had such a thing occur.

So, I rebuilt the database from scratch, reloaded, and then tried the
recovery scenario again.  This time I did the shutdown immediate and then
shut down the Windows Oracle service for the database before doing the cold
backup, took the backup, blew away the existing database, restored the cold
backup database files, and restarted the database successfully without
incident.

Having been in a hurry, maybe originally I did something illogical or
idiotic which was the reason for my obtaining the results I did (when in
reality it had nothing to do with Window services, I don't know.)

I always meant to go back and revisit that whole issue but haven't had the
time or inclination I guess.  Given what is being said in this discussion,
I
would like to do so in a methodical manner to see if I can get down to the
fact of the matter.

should probably follow the instructions that come with the product. If it is
a quality product with quality instructions, then tablespaces, etc. will be
dealt with. If this is a production site, you should definitely install this
on their test system first, probably after backing up the test system. Am I

RE: services on windows?????

2002-10-21 Thread James Damiano
Dear List,

I had a situation on a lone Windows/NT system a couple of years ago, where I
had installed 8i and was testing a number of facilities prior to going
online with an application.  Since I wasn't familiar with NT, I played
around a bit, the final step of which was to test recovery with a cold
backup.  So I did a shutdown immediate and took a cold backup of the
database (while having left the Oracle services up).  Frankly I didn't
**purposely**  leave the services up because it didn't enter my mind that I
had to do so or not.

All I know is that when I blew away the existing database control, data, and
log files, and restored them with the cold backup for a test of recovery,
the database would not start back up.  (I didn't note what the specific
error messages were because I was in a big hurry at the time and could't
mess around with it.)  I DO know that I was stunned at this because on UNIX
and Netware, I never had such a thing occur.

So, I rebuilt the database from scratch, reloaded, and then tried the
recovery scenario again.  This time I did the shutdown immediate and then
shut down the Windows Oracle service for the database before doing the cold
backup, took the backup, blew away the existing database, restored the cold
backup database files, and restarted the database successfully without
incident.

Having been in a hurry, maybe originally I did something illogical or
idiotic which was the reason for my obtaining the results I did (when in
reality it had nothing to do with Window services, I don't know.)

I always meant to go back and revisit that whole issue but haven't had the
time or inclination I guess.  Given what is being said in this discussion, I
would like to do so in a methodical manner to see if I can get down to the
fact of the matter.

Re: Named users!

2002-10-21 Thread Ron Rogers
Seán,
 I don't believe that is the situation. We have named users license
for the development server where there are 3 developers and 2 testers,
But the dba_users lists all 250 users that are on the production system.
Each user can have a different role or table access allowed and must be
tested properly.
 It comes down to a matter of integrity and honesty when dealing with
the licenses. 
10  Named users allows  up to  10  people to use the product legally.

RE: Actual list of supported/desupported versions of Oracle

2002-10-21 Thread DENNIS WILLIAMS
Bob - I don't feel Oracle makes it easy. They keep changing the location and
format. On Metalink, have you clicked on the tab on the left side labeled
Certify  Availability? Once you are in that section, there are tabs at
the top for Product Availability and Desupport Notices. I don't think
the finite list of supported/desupported versions exists, but you can get
the information you need a piece at a time and gradually build your list.
Does that meet your requirements?

RE: Named users!

2002-10-21 Thread DENNIS WILLIAMS
Sean - I think you are recalling the old Concurrent Users. 

A named user is defined as follows:
Named User: is defined as an individual authorized by you to use the
programs which are installed on a single server or multiple servers,
regardless of whether the individual is actively using the programs at any
given time. A non human operated device will be counted as a Named User in
addition to all individuals authorized to use the programs, if such devices
can access the programs. If multiplexing hardware or software (e.g., a TAP
monitor or a Web server product) is used, this number must be measured at
the multiplexing front end.

I feel a good measure today is that anyone who can even contemplate
interacting with your database qualifies as a named user.

oraperf comment

2002-10-21 Thread Ray Stell

An recent oraperf report included the comment:  Never split index
and data files to different sets of disks.  It goes on to state that
striping is better.  If the system in question does not have
raid support, wouldn't it be better to split the index and data across
spindles?  That would make the word Never inappropriate here?  Maybe
this is their way of saying don't use old technology.  Is there some 
other reason I am missing?

RE: is this block cleanout ?

2002-10-21 Thread dcutrone
Rahul:
   If you're working under Oracle 7.3 and
delayed_logging_block_cleanouts=TRUE (default), the block cleanouts will be
delayed until another transaction modifies the blocks (when the block is
required in current mode again). A simple select will not force the
cleanout.
   If you set delayed_logging_block_cleanouts=FALSE (default in Oracle 8), a
select (of course you'll have to force a FTS) will do the cleanouts.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  INSERTs certainly associated with block cleanout. But the issue here
  Rahul is doing a Direct load and this does not work as expected in
earlier
  versions (7.3 and below). They do not use ITLs as in the regular inserts
  and there used be some bugs in 7.x versions were ITLs are not used in
  regular fashion, and this results in incorrect count(*) during the
  direct loads (something similar to Dirty read).
  
  These bugs are fixed in 8i and above versions where Direct inserts
  are also behave like regular inserts. But in any case Inserts are also
  associated with block cleanouts.

This is also what I thought, but wouldn't a 'count(*)' just use the

  a block cleanout is associated with a delete, not an insert. Might it be

Record count within a procedure

2002-10-21 Thread Smith, Ron L.
Within an update or load procedure, is there any way to return the
transaction count for the number 
of rows affected?  Kind of like the Feedback / NoFeedback option of
SQL*PLUS?

Thanks!

logoff trigger

2002-10-21 Thread becker . bill

Hello,

We are on 8.1.7.4.0 (on Solaris), and are having a problem with a logoff
trigger and ORA-00164: autonomous transaction disallowed
within distributed transaction. The logoff trigger is defined as:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER get_logoff_stats_trg
BEFORE LOGOFF ON DATABASE
BEGIN
capture_session_stats_prc;
END;

The purpose of the procedure called by the trigger is to capture
session stats and commit them to a table, so the procedure is
defined as an autonomous transaction; removing the autonomous transaction
pragma results in:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-04092: cannot ROLLBACK in a trigger
ORA-06512: at CAPTURE_SESSION_STATS_PRC, line 116
ORA-04092: cannot COMMIT in a trigger

Most of our users only encounter this error when executing some SELECT
which involves a reference to a database link, which apparently qualifies
as a distributed transaction. Anyway, the SELECT executes successfully,
but we fail to capture their session stats upon exit.

The suggested oerr action for ora-164 is to rollback or commit before
calling the autonomous transaction pragma; but Oracle does not allow a
rollback or commit in the trigger which calls the autonomous transaction
procedure.

An exception handler doesn't seem to catch an ora-00164 error. (Anyone
know why? I thought all ORA- errors could be captured by exception handlers.)

ORA-00164 is fixed in Oracle9i (actually, Oracle says this is not a bug, but
a feature that was changed, not fixed), but we can't upgrade to 9i because
some of our third-party tools are not yet compatible.

The only thing I can think of is to ask users to do a commit or rollback
in their sessions just before exiting if they referenced a db link. I know
this isn't practical. Does anyone have a better suggestion?

As always, many thanx to any responders.

Rao,

   Replace n1 with nn in the package part and it will work like a charm.
PL/SQL is _very_ stupid and prameters must bear the same names in
specifications and actual declaration, even if doesn't make much sense.
I always use cut-and-paste :-).

Rahul:
   If you're working under Oracle 7.3 and
delayed_logging_block_cleanouts=TRUE (default), the block cleanouts will 
be
delayed until another transaction modifies the blocks (when the block is
required in current mode again). A simple select will not force the
cleanout.
   If you set delayed_logging_block_cleanouts=FALSE (default in Oracle 8), 
a
select (of course you'll have to force a FTS) will do the cleanouts.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  INSERTs certainly associated with block cleanout. But the issue here
  Rahul is doing a Direct load and this does not work as expected in
earlier
  versions (7.3 and below). They do not use ITLs as in the regular 
inserts
  and there used be some bugs in 7.x versions were ITLs are not used in
  regular fashion, and this results in incorrect count(*) during the
  direct loads (something similar to Dirty read).
  
  These bugs are fixed in 8i and above versions where Direct inserts
  are also behave like regular inserts. But in any case Inserts are also
  associated with block cleanouts.

This is also what I thought, but wouldn't a 'count(*)' just use the

  a block cleanout is associated with a delete, not an insert. Might it 
be
  say the cleanout of temporary segments after say a direct load ?

Re: oraperf comment

2002-10-21 Thread Tim Gorman



Ray,

I don't know exactly what was intended with the 
comment, but I agree with your interpretation.

---

As far as any other reasons for the 
comment...

RANT
In terms ofmyths that have persisted with 
Oracle over the years, the ideathat some performance benefitexists 
from I/Oparallelism due to separating tables and indexes to different 
devices has been especially persistent. I've even heard it described as 
"conventional wisdom". As a matter of fact, 
there is no possibility for "parallelism" benefits on indexed I/O 
operations. Never has been;might neverbe (though "never" 
is a long time)...
/RANT

The reason is that navigating a B*Tree index 
structure is inherently sequential. Think about it -- first you have to 
access the "root" block. Looking inside the contents of the "root" directs 
you to the next "branch" or "leaf" block in the index B*Tree 
structure.You cannotseek for the next block in parallel; 
you've got to look inside one block in order to know what block to access 
next. Then, once you've accessed down to the final "leaf" block, reading 
its contents tells you which row in the table to access. If you are doing 
a "range scan" operation, then you have to go back to the index "leaf" block in 
order to find the next table row to access.

The name of the wait-event forthis type 
ofI/O (a.k.a. "db file sequential read", a.k.a. single-block random-access 
read)also suggests this "sequentialiality" (is thata word?). 
Jeff Holt wrote a great paper on the reasons for the apparent mis-naming of the 
wait-events "db file sequential read" and "db file scattered read" -- I'm sure 
that it is downloadable from http://www.hotsos.com. Even when "asynchronous I/O" is available and configured, indexed 
I/O operations are still essentially synchronous (and 
non-parallel)...

There is a possibility of some form of 
"parallelization" in "range-scan" operations, but there is no evidence that this 
is happening. For example, while performing an indexed range-scan,if 
we wanted to read a batch of index entries from the index "leaf blocks" and 
submit a list of I/O requests for data blocks on the corresponding table, we 
could do so. However, when I've performed "truss" operations on an Oracle 
server process performing such a range-scan operation (at least through 
Oracle8i), I've not seen this happening. Purely generic "read()" 
operations, one at a time, sequentially...

---

The only real advantages of separating tables from 
indexes into different tablespaces are:

  different recoverability requirements
  
indexes can be rebuilt instead of 
restored
data(tables and clusters)must be 
restored -- cannot be "rebuilt" from anything
  different types of I/O requests
  
indexes are predominantly accessed using 
single-block, random read I/O (i.e. UNIQUE scans, RANGE scans, FULL 
scans)

  relatively seldom are accessed with 
  multi-block sequentially-accessedread I/O (i.e. FAST FULL 
  scans)
while tables are often accessed with a mix of 
the two types of I/O, depending on the application

  OLTP usually has heavier single-block, random 
  read I/O due to heavy use of indexes
  DW usually has heavier multi-block, 
  sequentially-accessed read I/O due to heavy use of FULL table 
  scans
may be advantages from this inOracle9i 
where different blocksizes are possible for different 
  tablespaces
These last points are related to performance, but 
not in the sense that the mythical"conventional wisdom" 
dictates...

Hope this helps...

-Tim

Get together at OOW

2002-10-21 Thread Jared . Still
Dear list,

Though I won't be attending OOW, I will be in San Francisco during
those same dates ( 11/10 - 11/15), just a couple miles from the
Moscone Center where OOW is held.

Are there any plans yet among list members to get together one
evening?  I think Monday is spoken for myself, but it would be nice
to meet a few list members another evening.

No plans yet.  I will probably not be attending OOW but would look forward
to getting together with list members also.  Last time we met at Chevy's
(corner of Howard and 3rd Street).  How about Tuesday Nov. 12th?  I can make
a reservation for, say 15 people at 7pm.  Sound good?

Not this year... we have several highly visible apps going live
anywhere from 10/31 through 11/8 (well, they were all scheduled for
10/31, all the database group's work is done but the developers..) and
while I am not the production DBA (a refreshing change), I still don't
think be away the first few weeks is advisable.

Santosh - Let me understand . . . Oracle is already installed and in
production at this site? Are you installing a commercial product? Then you
should probably follow the instructions that come with the product. If it is
a quality product with quality instructions, then tablespaces, etc. will be
dealt with. If this is a production site, you should definitely install this
on their test system first, probably after backing up the test system. Am I
missing something here with your situation?

Santosh,

I don't mean to be rude here, and there are lots of people, including
myself, who try to be helpful.  But, it's simply not possible to give a
list of what all needs to be installed.
It's like showing up in a room full of construction workers and saying,
Hi, I'm about to start building my house, but I've never done this
before.  Can you please give me a list of things I need to do and
pointers as to what I need to look out for?

If you have specfic issues or problems, or if a particular concept is
not clear, I'm sure there are many who would be willing to help.  Ask
specific questions, you'll get specific answers.

Also, always specify O/S, O/S version, and Oracle version.  Oracle is a
constantly moving target.  It's impossible to give a clear and complete
answer without that.

Hope that helps,

-Mark
