Re: Autostarting databases
Hi Bob I took a look at the database service one of our servers. service properties: startup program: d:\oracle\ora816\bin\oracle.exe abcd (the sid of the database). startup mode = automatic. logon as local system account. allow service to interact with desktop.

Your talking about the properties window of the service? Where it says You can specify the parameters that apply when you start the service from here If so that will start the database but the setting pfile=x does not retain. So, it seems like you can only pass that parameter, the pfile=xxx once Specify the userid that is supposed to start the database, preferably not the Administrator userid, but Oracle or a derivative of it.

One would anticipate that a query like INSERT into localtable (select * from remotetable@link) would pull things over in a stream.

Re: How-To or Good Practices on Code Releases
You do not have to reinvent the wheel. If you want to check the scripts just do the following: 1) Get the DBATool from DataBee www.databee.com 2) Do export no data from the target system. 3) Read the export into the DBATool 4) Create DDL for the schema 5) Run the DDL and create the schema in test db. 6) Run your script against the empty schema. All syntax error and logical error will show up. It will not check for data dependent error, like adding unique constrain to a column with data that have multiple occurrences of the same value but it will save you a lot of time and development. Yechiel Adar (who does not have any hidden/unhidden connections to DataBee) Mehish - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 9:23 PM one of the things I'm experimenting with right now, based on a request from clients, is a pre-run analysis script to report on likely errors that the actual script would generate. this gives me a chance to trap the silly errors and continue (e.g., modify column to NOT NULL that is already NOT NULL, drop a column that's not there, etc.) and provide feedback to the client on the more serious errors that will need their attention - e.g., changing a column datatype or reducing a column_size, where the existing data won't work; creating a FK, where there are missing parent records; etc.) This analysis script tests for the existance of new columns or data that are to be added, checks max(lengths) of fields that need to be shortened, etc. The client can then execute the analysis script, evaluate the output, and decide on a course of action. As others have said, though, this REALLY SHOULD first be run in a UAT, staging, or other test env first - if for no other reason than a sanity and syntax check. My objective with this is to PREVENT the need to roll back the script, save for unexpected errors (whereby something significant changed between the time the analysis script was run and the actual delta) and *critical* errors (crash, out of disk space, etc.) . . . in which case I would revert back to the backup they should have taken just before the script was executed HTH bill -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 1:20 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L As an example, something that yours truly was involved with, and still have the scars to show for it. A migration from a lower version of Oracle, to a higher version, on a completely new server. The scripts ran fine, and the implementation plan worked fine. However, the application started reporting intermittent connection problems. This was a web application, and it took the developers a day to realize that the one of the components in the application was not fully certified with Oracle 8i. Also, there were memory leak issues with that version of Oracle 8i. Whereby we needed to fall back to the old server, with the new data. The rollback strategy in the implementation plan was a one liner, to fall back to the old server. This was good for an immediate fallback after the implementation. Had to go the export import way, which had some additional outage for hours. So, the next time this was implemented, we had a quick rollback strategy to rollback after n number of days. If memory serves me right, I think we had a standby database created on the old server with the new release, and a downgrade plan. This was tested and approved by the developers and the QA team, though I never had to use it. Since then, I tend to be paranoid about any changes to production databases. You live and learn.

Configuring disks on a Windows 2000 server?
Hi all, A 3rd-party software vendor is coming in to install their application on a new Windows 2000 server.

However, they've sent our server/hardware guys the following, specifying how they want the disks configuring on the server: - - - - - As to the RAID recommendations the issue is that Oracle do not support installations where the redo logs are on any sort of a stripped partition. My recommendation would be to create a mirror pair out of two of the disks. This can be partitioned for the system and the redo logs. The remainder of the disks can be RAID 5. Note that the RAID 5 array is where the actual database and archive logs are stored. In theory If you lose both disks on the mirror you would still have enough information on the RAID 5 partition to save the database. - - - - - Now, disk configuration's one of my weakest spots, but I have the following two questions about their instructions: 1. Is their point about Oracle not supporting redo logs on striped partitions true, or are they talking rubbish? All our UNIX servers with Oracle use RAID 0+1 (mirroring plus striping) on all their disks, but is it different for Windows servers?

Re: Configuring disks on a Windows 2000 server?
Hello Paul ALL our oracle servers are windows NT/2000 with raid 5 arrays for all the files. 1) The point that Oracle does not support online redo logs on stripped partition seems wrong to me. 2) There was a discussion on the list a while ago about the write speed times between raid 5 and raid 0+1. Anyway, since raid 5 are usually implemented with a big controller cache (backed up by a battery) your database writes to the cache and you get reasonable response time. We have a heavy online application with about 50 users that runs OK on windows NT with 2 processor and 5 disks raid 5 array.

OCI certainly streams query results like that - I'm not saying that DBLinks are based on OCI - just that there is precedent for this in at least one Oracle networking layer. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Jeremiah Wilton INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California-- Mailing list and web hosting services - To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

Installing 8.1.7 on a machine with an existing 9.0.1 installation
Hi everybody I'm about to throw my laptop out of the window (I'm on Win2k). I have an existing 9.0.1 installation (server and developer tools like designer and jedevelop). That works. Now I need to install an additional 8.1.7. If I run the installer from 8.1.7, it tells me that the component oracle.swd.jre 1.1.8.10.0 is missing while checking the dependencies (after you decide the installation type, before the list of available products/options is displayed). Checking the components in the stage directory, it shows that it is really missing. Next try was to install 8.1.7 using the 9.0.1 installer. Installation works, but hangs at the end ... great. Next try was to take the oracle.swd.jre 1.1.8.10.0 component from 9.0.1 (where it exists) and copy it to the 8.1.7 stage and to create the property files. No success. Any ideas, or do I have to remove everything, then install 8.1.7 first, folowed by 9.0.1 and the developer tools. That would be very diappointing.

Re: Configuring disks on a Windows 2000 server?
Oracle's recommendation (for what it's worth) is SAME (Stripe All, Mirror Everything). They're blowing smoke about the redo logs. I've never heard anyone, anywhere say that (of course, I'm willing to learn from my errors). RAID 5 is usually recommended against but our recent discussion here (if I followed it correctly) indicated that the write penalty for RAID 5 may go the way of the single extent myth. RAID 5 is cheaper, in terms of number of disks.

This application uses Oracle, so they'll also be installing Oracle 8.1.7 as part of their setup session. However, they've sent our server/hardware guys the following, specifying how they want the disks configuring on the server: - - - - - As to the RAID recommendations the issue is that Oracle do not support installations where the redo logs are on any sort of a stripped partition. My recommendation would be to create a mirror pair out of two of the disks. This can be partitioned for the system and the redo logs. The remainder of the disks can be RAID 5. Note that the RAID 5 array is where the actual database and archive logs are stored. In theory If you lose both disks on the mirror you would still have enough information on the RAID 5 partition to save the database. - - - - - Now, disk configuration's one of my weakest spots, but I have the following two questions about their instructions: 1. Is their point about Oracle not supporting redo logs on striped partitions true, or are they talking rubbish? All our UNIX servers with Oracle use RAID 0+1 (mirroring plus striping) on all their disks, but is it different for Windows servers? I must say I'd never heard of this restriction before, but I'm willing to be enlightened! Anybody? 2. They're recommending RAID 5 for a transaction-heavy application server, here. Surely that's wrong? I thought I understood that RAID 5 was great for file servers but lousy for servers running transactio-heavy business applications. What's the view of you guys on this?

My recommendation would be to create a mirror pair out of two of the disks. This can be partitioned for the system and the redo logs. The remainder of the disks can be RAID 5. Note that the RAID 5 array is where the actual database and archive logs are stored. In theory If you lose both disks on the mirror you would still have enough information on the RAID 5 partition to save the database. - - - - - Now, disk configuration's one of my weakest spots, but I have the following two questions about their instructions: 1. Is their point about Oracle not supporting redo logs on striped partitions true, or are they talking rubbish? All our UNIX servers with Oracle use RAID 0+1 (mirroring plus striping) on all their disks, but is it different for Windows servers? I must say I'd never heard of this restriction before, but I'm willing to be enlightened! Anybody? 2. They're recommending RAID 5 for a transaction-heavy application server, here. Surely that's wrong? I thought I understood that RAID 5 was great for file servers but lousy for servers running transactio-heavy business applications. What's the view of you guys on this? Please give me your views, I know we have some very experienced people on this list!

RE: Oracle 10i features
In addition to 9iAS R2 being a terrible install, it is riddled with bugs and a total beast to get operational! I'll give folks another example. If/when you HOST out from a 9i Form your Unix process environment is populated with about 18 environmental variables. The problem is that NONE of the following are defined; HOME, LOGNAME, PATH! So the poor process doesn't know who he is, which way is home and has limited ability to even find any executable; which make scripting a REAL challenge.

W2K is fine, really. I use it at work and it's convenient since it comes with the computer you just bought. It runs Oracle fine as well since I've been using it for a while now. The issue here is the server side cost. W2K is expensive at $1,500 Cdn a pop for 5 licenses only.

Steve
Steve,
I have very recently played a little bit with such things, and it
seems to me pretty messy, especially when you happen to live in time
zones whence you need not even think about sending your resume to
OraStaff (seems better in 9.x).
I have a few days ago discovered the command :
ALTER DATABASE SET TIME_ZONE = 'blahblah';
where 'blahblah' can be specified either as a code (which doesn't really
solve your problem) or as '+00:00' or '-00:00' to specify your offset
to/from GMT, which I find easier to guess.
Once your database knows where it stands, you can use function
dbtimezone (which for a reason I have been too lazy to find out I had to
specify as sys.standard.dbtimezone in a procedure) to get it. Then, you
can compute the GMT date as follows :
declare
my_timezone varchar2(30);
pos number;
timeoffset number;
begin
select sys.standard.dbtimezone
into my_timezone
from dual;
pos := instr(my_timezone, ':');
if (pos = 0)
then
--
-- Timezone was specified as an abbreviation
--
dbms_session.set_nls('NLS_DATE_FORMAT', 'DD-MON- HH24:MI:SS');
timeoffset := SYSDATE - NEW_TIME(SYSDATE, my_timezone, 'GMT');
else
--
-- Timezone was specified as a time offset
--
timeoffset := to_number(substr(my_timezone, 2,
pos-2))/24
+ to_number(substr(my_timezone,
pos+1,2))/1440;
if (substr(my_timezone, 1, 1) = '-')
then
timeoffset := -1 * timeoffset;
end if;
end if;
end;
Create a packaged function GMTDATE, compute timeoffset as above in the
initialization section of the package, and then simply make GMTDATE
return SYSDATE + timeoffset and it should do.

RE: Check Point Interval Question
Thanks alot jared, I just want to know if I change my redo log size to 1 K, do I have to change checkpoint_interval to 2 or still 1 doesn't affect. Thanks alot -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 8:28 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hamid, Is there perhaps a reason given for that setting? The setting determines how often a checkpoint will be performed based on the number of redo log blocks. From the FM: LOG_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL specifies the frequency of checkpoints in terms of the number of redo log file blocks that can exist between an incremental checkpoint and the last block written to the redo log. This number refers to physical operating system blocks, not database blocks. On Solaris, that's 512 bytes per block. see: http://www.ixora.com.au/notes/log_block_size.htm With a value of 1, the setting had no effect on your log file of 4m, since a 4 meg file consists of 8192 512 byte blocks. Similarly, a setting of 999 will not cause any extra checkpoints to be written between log switches. A 20 meg log file has 40960 512 byte blocks. Setting LOG_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL = 0 would have the same effect in both cases.

If it is 9i, use FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET. In 8i, use LOG_CHECKPOINT_TIMEOUT. Did your tuning manual explain why you should set it to 999? That seems a little strange. Basically shorter checkpoint queue lengths will shorten your recovery times, but too short a queue length may hamper performance, so it is a tradeoff. What are your tradeoff criteria?

what is the difference in the db between adding a column with a default value, and adding a column and then later modifying it to set a default value? in neither case is the value actually set in the column itself. thx -b -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 6:09 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Rajesh.Rao, I have the same experience. Developers directly connected to production database and added a column with default table on a huge table. The whole table is locked for 1 hour and other transaction failed. Add a column with non default value and then later add default value for it can be done in 1 second. Developers do not Know how oracle do it and just go on. New application going online without volume testing, getting online and as a production dba,i search for the bad sql and trace it out and send it back to developer! That is why many project fail, the app is designed and developed without the attendence of a guy who really knows oracle.

In a SAN environment, there might also be similar problems. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of David Wagoner Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 9:59 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Oracle SAN Experiences? The Sys. Admin. team wants to consolidate storage (and probably get a new toy too) on all of our servers, so they are evaluating a SAN (LSI Logic E4600). The DBA team is doing some research to determine the pros and cons of doing this, and I'd like to hear any of your experiences (good and bad) using SAN with Oracle. My understanding is that all of our database servers would remain intact, but the attached disk storage would move into the SAN. So, we still have the Production, Test, and App. servers with their processors and memory, Oracle homes, etc. The SAN will hold database files from Production, Test, Apps., staging, ODS,data warehouse, etc. Their arguments: -the SAN is very scalable (500 GB - 40 TB) -easy to manage disks in one central location -fancy statistics collection on all SAN disks -much higher throughput on the fiber SAN connections than with locally attached disk arrays -capable of using mixed RAID levels (0, 1, 1+0, 5, etc.) -can partition sets of disks in the SAN for specific server access -Snapshot backup capability is very fast in the SAN (much faster than traditional Oracle backups) DBA arguments: -How will this affect database performance? -What are the drawbacks, if any, with the pre-fetch of data performed by the SAN (i.e., SAN cache) -How tunable is the SAN -Fast, small disks are better for performance and less wasted space than the typical huge disks in a SAN (it's possible to use smaller disks in the SAN) -Prove it! After reading the "Sane SAN" article and a case study about Volvo implementing a SAN, I believe it's possible to have a great Oracle/SAN implementation if it's setup correctly and tuned. Other resources that you can Google are "Using SVA SnapShot with Oracle", "Performance Benchmark LSI Logic E4600 (STK D178)", "SAN Storage for Open Systems Environments", and of course check the OraFaq.

RE: ini file
Increasing db_block_buffers will almost certainly make no difference to the performance of the query you've shown us. Manipulation of hash_area_size might change your query's execution plan, but I can't tell you whether for better or for worse.

RE: CONSISTANT GETS
Hamid, I'm sorry: Unless your SQL returns fewer than about 800,000 rows to the calling application (or an aggregation of 800,000 rows), then the statement we have done all the necessary tuning on all the SQL queries is not yet true. If your SQL does actually return about 800,000 rows, then it is time to begin thinking about the mismatch between business processing requirements and the logical structure of your data.

OT: Metalink patch searches rant
All, I'm so frustrated that I had to rant to the list - my co-workers don't have much sympathy. I haven't been searching Metalink for patches in the last two weeks, but the new search functionality really sucks. When trying to search for Linux patches, I must put in Linux Operating System Family which promptly makes the ONLY release RedHat Advanced Server 2.0. Not right when I want to search certified SuSE SLES7 (or even if I had RedHat, 2.0 is only certified on 9i, not 8i!). Must mean there are only patches for RedHat 2.0 on 9i? Yeah, right. Urrgh! Plus, in the new Beta search, drop downs are a thing of the past - just about every field must be queried separately (those lovely pop-up windows), though supposedly the searches can be saved (haven't tried that yet, no reason to!). I'm sure there are tons of other limiting features to the new search, but I did get a huge laugh when I queried RDBMS 8.1.7 and got 500 patches returned (there are more but it only returned 500) - if you ever wanted an idea of how many patches are out there, there's a good indication. There's only 12 patchset/minipacks, though (lots of patches rolled into one, I guess). I did notice the new Beta search doesn't have an easily found feedback button (it's back on page one), but I did fill out a long gripe to them :) Enough ranting, back to trying to get around the search engines (both newly-fixed-old and new-Beta-2.0) to find the patches I need.

I've found the following on Metastink, but am wondering if there is any other method of getting the global_name back to instancename (without the .world) This problem doesn't happen in 9i because a value NULL for db_domain is allowed, therefore if you set in 9i db_domain=, then you have a GLOBAL_NAME with only db_name and you can rename global_name to include domain and after rename it back without including domain.

Re:RE: CONSISTANT GETS
Hamid, This is one of those instances where I'll heartly agree with Cary in ALL respects. We run PeopleSoft and have found many a query that seems to spinn around and around creating a pile of consistent gets and little if any IO. The problem that most often exists is that a coorrelated subquery is the last item in the where clause or the first thing that Oracle does. Damned nasty. Check your code over again and trace it. Dick Goulet Reply Separator Author: Cary Millsap [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 11/14/2002 10:34 AM Hamid, I'm sorry: Unless your SQL returns fewer than about 800,000 rows to the calling application (or an aggregation of 800,000 rows), then the statement we have done all the necessary tuning on all the SQL queries is not yet true. If your SQL does actually return about 800,000 rows, then it is time to begin thinking about the mismatch between business processing requirements and the logical structure of your data.

After playing around with this in development for a while I just tried setting Event 10046, Level 8 trace on a production process that was taking too long to run.

All the space was freed up according to df -k. I tried setting the event to level 0 and back to level 8 but there was still no trace file. The session was still running.

Query to predict failure on second extent of segment
Hi all,
Until a whole mass of astrological confluences happen, I'm stuck with
dictionary-managed tablespaces on 8.1.7 on HP/UX 11.0. And we're having
some space/growth issues right now that I want (need!) to be more proactive
with. So, based on several factors -- most political -- I want to run a
daily report that tells me when a segment will not be able to extend twice.
(We're already running the single extent failure hourly.)
After looking on the net, I found some queries to do this, but all I saw
were severely flawed. So, I rolled my own. The only problem I can see with
it for dictionary TSs is when the RANK() has multiple matches for first and
second (e.g. TS MY_BIG_TS has it's largest contiguous free spaces of 40M,
10M, and 10M). Unfortunately, I'm stumped as to how to prevent this.
Anyone care to comment on this load of SQueaL? Thx! :)

RE: Monitoring Unix Question
If you have the top utility installed on the Unix box, this makes an easy to use interface to identify CPU hogs. For non-root users to run it, your sys admin might have to change default permissions on certain files such as /dev/kmem; or possibly make top SUID root. If you don't have top, or you can't run it as non-root, you can try using the following ps command to sort things by %CPU, but I think there might be differences among OS's on some of the more exotic ps and sort options: ps -eo pid -o %cpu | sort -rk2 | head -20 After you have identified which PID is the hog, and can see that it is a dedicated server process, you can run something like the following to match SID SERIAL# to the correct OS process ID. If you must brutally kill the process, kill the session in the database, then kill the pid in the OS. set linesize whatever_you_like set pagesize whatever_you_like col username format a15 col osuser format a15 select s.username, s.osuser, s.sid, s.serial#, s.process USER PRCS, p.spid SVR PRCS from v$process p,v$session s where p.addr = s.paddr and s.username ' ' / -Original Message- From: ecandrietta [mailto:ecandrietta;uol.com.br] Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 1:20 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Monitoring Unix Question Friends : How can i do for get what is running inside a PID that is using a lot of CPU ?

Thanks again. -Original Message- Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 2:59 PM To: ORACLE-L Tao - If I understand your situation, you currently have 3 separate databases, 2 separate Lawson databases and another OEM database? You can combine your two Lawson databases, but you'll need to develop a careful project plan. Right now your Lawson HR database probably sends data to your Lawson GL system, so that needs looked at before you do the combination. There is a Lawson email list that can answer that question in more detail. Is the OEM repository and historical database more of a data warehouse or OLTP system? Data warehouses tend to have spikey usage and don't play well with OLTP databases such as your Lawson system. I would tend to keep it separate just based on the limited information you've provided.

RE: e: when is an error msg not an error msg ?
That's not always a good idea. Their may be settings in your .profile that don't play well with cron.

Yes, it was an environmental issue.
