Re: Oracle Tech Support
You think that's good? Try this one... Me --- RedHat Linux 7.2 Oracle 9.2.0.2 dbca *always* hangs at 41% - Creating and starting Oracle instance. No background process ever gets started - no pmon, no smon, nothing. This is regardless of kernel parameters, memory or any other such stuff. Running a script to create an *identical* database works every time. Support -- Are there any error messages reported in the database alert.log file? Please upload alert.log file for more investigation. Thanks. Me --- New info : There are no messages in the alert log - except for the shutdown abort after I cancel dbca. Prior to that, there is nothing. It is empty. Support Can you please upload the alert.log file? Why do you think DBCA is hanging? Maybe it was running catalog.sql , catproc.sql and other scripts. These might take some time. This is normal. Can you see log files are switching in the alert.log file before you abort? Have you connected and checked from v$session_wait to see whether sessions are moving or not? See Note:68738.1 Hang or Spin?. column sid format 990 column seq# format 0 column wait_time heading 'WTime' format 0 column event format a30 column p1 format 90 column p2 format 90 column p3 format 9990 select sid,event,seq#,p1,p2,p3,wait_time from V$session_wait / Me --- New info : Perhaps I need to be more explicit...

I think that dbca is hanging because it *IS* hanging - no background processes *EVER* get started. (No pmon, no smon, nada... nothing.) catalog.sql was not running. catproc.sql was not running. No other scripts were running. One has to have an instance running before one can run any SQL. v$session_wait is inaccessible - there are no background processes and no instance. It is going to be difficult to run any SQL when there are no background processes and no instance is running. Support -- Sorry for misunderstanding the problem. Since dbca hangs at 41% , I guessed that instance was started. That is strange. You said that the problem does not occur when you manually create the database using scripts.

Snapshot Too Old Error on Export !!!
Hi all I have a problem when doing an export in one of ourt production databases. The export fails with ORA-01555, snapshot too old error. I have increased the number of rollback segments and their sizes on the database. Also I have went to an extent of specifying the parameter constent=n on my script but backups fails. The worst part is this export runs for a long time and then fails, more than 24 hours.

RE: Snapshot Too Old Error on Export !!!
Jackson, As you have discovered , the issue is that other transactions are overwriting your read consistent view of the tables. Options could include 1) Running the export at a quite time (sounds like you have tried that but with only partial suucess) 2) Taking a direct export which reduces the time very considerably (especially if you do it at weekend) 3) Take subsets of the data using either a parameter file with export with a list of tables you are interested in and multiple exports (different parameter files of course) 4) Using the query option of export to again take subsets of data from the biggest tables Using options 3+ 4 means you need to put in some sort of means of capturing changes ( a IUD trigger to capture rowid's) but it will be very difficult to ensure integrity. Your last sentence is very worrying, I hope you are not using export as a means of backing up the database because from what you have said that is totally unreliable. Out of the above options only 1) will give you any sort of consistent view of the tables.

Hi everybody
I'm experiencing some problems with the endian byte order
parameter while processing data files from a mainframe
platform (OS/390). The data contains integers
(smallint, 2 bytes long), which come in big endian
format (high byte first). I'm importing the data on a Linux (PC)
platform (Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on SuSE 7.2).
I used the following parameters:
-- TDOMAIN:
DROP TABLE SHINFRA.X_TDOMAIN;
CREATE TABLE SHINFRA.X_TDOMAIN ( ZID_DOMAIN NUMBER (15,0),
ZHI_ORGEINHEIT NUMBER (15,0), ZHI_SYSEINDAT CHAR (26),
ZHI_SYSERSDAT CHAR (26), ZHI_SYSGUADAT
DATE, ZHI_SYSGUBDAT DATE, ZHI_SYSMSGNR CHAR (26),
ZHI_STATUS INTEGER, ZID_DOMAINBEZ NUMBER

) ) LOCATION

UNLIMITED;
The field of interest here is ZHI_STATUS. If it is let's say
00 01 in Hex format in the original data file, I'll
get a 256 decimal in the Oracle database, which points
to a byte order problem, because that would be 01 00. I tried all combinations like DATA IS BIG ENDIAN, LITTLE ENDIAN or
nothing. I get the following log file entries, but the
result remains the same (256 instead of 1):
LOG file opened at 02/20/03 13:53:53
Field Definitions for table X_TDOMAIN Record format FIXED, record length 138 Data in file is in big endian format Reject rows with all null fields

Field Definitions for table X_TDOMAIN Record format FIXED, record length 138 Data in file has same endianness as the platform

It looks like the DATA IS ENDIAN parameter doesn't do
anything. Is there a mistake / misunderstanding on my
side ? I already checked Metalink, but couldn't find
anything pointing to a bug related to external tables
and endianness or sql*loader and endianness.
Any ideas ? I'm getting pretty desperate here.

Testing database links
Dear Listers, Oracle 8i HP-UX11. We have a database link with a remote database which is accessed from the application code. In the application code, a call is made to the 'dbms_session.close_database_link' procedure (that is what they claim!!). We want to track the call to the database link and the subsequent closure.

RE: Order of Redo log use
Jared, No they do not have to begin with 1 and in fact my 10 groups are currently 11 - 20. I too have rearranged/reorg'ed redo logs while the database was up. Mostly with success, but in one case linesize was too short when I built my script and production (V7.3) was briefly left with only one redo log. It also seems that my current conundrum is due to insufficient controls while adding new redo log groups to a live database in the past. Downtime is mostly for segment/tablespace reorg (no, not to compress extents ;-) ). Mike -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2003 4:02 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Mike, Is there any reason your redo logs must begin with 1? You don't need to take the database down to do this, just start with a higher number. Or, if you insist on consecutive numbers starting with 1, just create a temp set of redo, drop the old ones, recreate them, then drop the temp set. I've done this a few times to resize/reorg redo on disk without taking the database down.

The database server is vulnerable to a remotely exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability. What exacerbates this problem is that no valid User ID or password is required by an attacker. Details *** There is a remotely exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability in the authentication process with the Oracle Database Server. By supplying an overly long username when attempting to log onto the database server an attacker can overflow a stack based buffer overwriting the saved return address. Any arbitrary code supplied by an attacker would execute with the same privileges as the user running the service; this account is typically Oracle on linux/unix based platforms and Local System on Windows based operating systems such as NT/2000/XP. As such this allows for a complete compromise of the data stored in the database and possibly a complete compromise of the operating system. As most client applications for Oracle will tuncate the length of the username that can be supplied to the database an attacker would need to write their own Oracle Authenticator to exploit this issue. That said, NGSSoftware has found one client application that will allow longer usernames so to test if you are vulnerable to this issue, use the LOADPSP utility usually found in bin directory found under the OracleHomeInstallDirectory. On Windows, for example, run: C:\ora9ias\BINloadpsp -name -user LONGUSERNAME/tiger@iasdb myfile Fix Information *** NGSSoftware alerted Oracle to this vulnerability on 30th September 2002. Oracle has reviewed the code and created a patch which is available from: http://otn.oracle.com/deploy/security/pdf/2003alert51.pdf NGSSoftware advise Oracle database customers to review and install the patch as a matter of urgency. A check for these issues has been added to NGSSQuirreL for Oracle, a comprehensive automated vulnerability assessment tool for Oracle Database Servers of which more information is available from the NGSSite http://www.ngssoftware.com/software/squirrelfororacle.html It is further recommend that Oracle DBAs have their network/firewall administrators ensure that the database server is protected from Internet sourced traffic. Further Information *** For further information about the scope and effects of buffer overflows, please see http://www.ngssoftware.com/papers/non-stack-bo-windows.pdf http://www.ngssoftware.com/papers/ntbufferoverflow.html http://www.ngssoftware.com/papers/bufferoverflowpaper.rtf http://www.ngssoftware.com/papers/unicodebo.pdf About NGSSoftware * NGSSoftware design, research and develop intelligent, advanced application security assessment scanners.

RE: How do you calcuate the temp space needed for view?
You might not have to increase the tablespace size. Maxextents = 121 is likely to be a bigger part of the problem. Query dba_tablespaces and look at your intial and next values as well as your maxextents parameter. You might find you have enough datafile space and are choking on the default storage clause for this TS. Alter tablespace default storage (initial XXX next XXX maxextents (505 or unlimited or whatever seems right to you) pctincrease (0 if you are using a uniform allocation strategy)) will get you out of this problem. Even adding datafiles will not help you with this specific problem as you are trying to sort something larger than the default storage clause for temp will allow.

RE: Snapshot Too Old Error on Export !!!
You might try running hot backups at the OS level instead. It sounds like your export is just taking too long. To get it to work with active users on board you might have to increase your rollback segments to truly ridiculous levels especially if you have large batches running while the export is running. To really understand the issue go to http://www.ixora.com.au and look at Steve Adams' material on snapshot too old. Allan -Original Message- Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 4:00 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi all I have a problem when doing an export in one of ourt production databases. The export fails with ORA-01555, snapshot too old error. I have increased the number of rollback segments and their sizes on the database. Also I have went to an extent of specifying the parameter constent=n on my script but backups fails. The worst part is this export runs for a long time and then fails, more than 24 hours. The only time that this export succeed is over the weekend, because most of the time few people are working or not at all. Now I have tried to start it after hours but as I said it still takes long and end up failing the next day.

If complete refresh, do it manually from command

recursive calls and DBMS_JOB
I'm trying to isolate high CPU consumers in a stressed application, and have noticed that I'm spending a lot of time doing recursive calls. Specifically, a high percentage of recursive calls and recursive CPU usage come from the following anonymous block: DECLARE job BINARY INTEGER :=job; next_date . My question is this: Are the recursive cpu/call stats that are accumulating a result of the procedures scheduled within DBMS_JOB (there are a handful of these procedures), or is this likely due to DBMS_JOB (and whatever logic it uses to keep itself doing what it should) itself?

RE: Oracle 9i hanging when linking during install !!!
It is likely that you will have to rebuild your kernel. If you start sam as root and go to kernel confiuration - configurable parameters you will find parameters named maxssiz and maxssiz_64bit. Adjust them to allow the stack enough space to perform your link. Note that you will only need to adjust one of them depending on whether you are 32 or 64 bit. We are on HP-UX 11i and maxssiz is set to about 8M. Caveat: We have not installed 9i on this box. On another 11i box where 9i has been installed (not by me) I find maxssize set to about 134M and maxssiz_64Bit set to about 1G. Hope this helps.

RE: Programming languages that make DBA's lives easier
Hey, just a minute - aren't you forgetting Dos... ? peter Now this thread has gone on for a while so its time for my contribution :-). PL/SQL is such a necessary although pedestrian language that its not interesting. Of the scripting languages TCL, PERL, and Python all include facilities for embedding them into other code or adding other code to them. What we should do is mount an Open Source project to embed Perl and TCL into Python so that we could create one large abomination in which any syntax or facility that pleases us could be used. Concealing your intellectual property would be simple. Write whatever suites you at the time, no one, not even you, will be able to figure out what you wrote after you've been away for it a week.

RE: RMAN gui...in OEM 9.x i
I will echo Joe's sentiments on knowing the command line. It has the added benefits of not doing things you were unaware of after pushing the 'go' button, as the much better understanding of RMAN you will attain by learning to do it from the keyboard. Jared I'll echo Jared's comments here. I've basically taught myself RMAN this week - all via the console - and don't regret a minute of it. Don't be scared ... you can start with commands as simple as 'BACKUP DATABASE;' and 'RESTORE DATABASE; RECOVER DATABASE;' and build up from there (at least in 9.x). Another advantage of the console is the status messages provided during backup and recovery ... better than watching spinning wheels or an hour-glass in a GUI!

RE: Snapshot Too Old Error on Export !!!
I would echo a previous post that you can't backup a database with the
export utility. I suspect you get your error because you are using
consistent=y in the export. The database is trying to give you data as of
the time you started the export. The fact that you are getting the snapshot
too old message is evidence that the data is changing while you are
exporting -- to the extent that the database is eventually unable to keep
doing it -- but these data changes will not be in the export file.
A genuine backup using rman or the old alter tablespace begin backup method
is the only proper backup.
If you are trying to get production data to move into a test/development
database schema, then export is certainly the most convenient way of doing
it. If you are, in fact, trying to backup the database, here is something
to get you started.
If the filesystem to which your export file is going is big enough, consider
using that filesystem to store a database backup instead of an export.
Assuming it is /where/it/goes, try the following:
Make sure sys (or system, if you prefer) has been granted sysdba in the
database.
Create two files with text similar to the following:
for file named backup_database.rcv:
-- snip -
run {
allocate channel ch1 type disk format '/where/it/goes/%U_DATA';
set command id to 'rman';
backup
tag backup_db_full
(database include current controlfile);
release channel ch1;
}
- snip --
This will backup the database.
for file named backup_arch.rcv
- snip
run {
allocate channel ch1 type disk format '/where/it/goes/%U_ARCH';
set command id to 'rman';
change archivelog all crosscheck;
backup
(archivelog all delete input);
backup ***This line and the next if you are duplexing archived logs***
(archivelog like '/directory/where/duplexed/archivelogs/are/%' delete
input);
release channel ch1;
allocate channel ch1 type disk format '/where/it/goes/%U_CONTROL';
backup current controlfile tag='backup';
release channel ch1;
sql ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO
''/where/it/goes/CONTROL_FILE.BAK'' REUSE;
}
snip
This will backup the archived logs and the control file. Note that the last
command tells the database to make a physical copy of the control file. The
reason for this is that rman has been writing backup info to the control
while the backup is running. So you make a copy of it after the backup has
completed in case you lose all copies of your control files. If your
database and all control files got completely blown away, you can copy the
control file copy back to where it was and start restoring. You might note
that I backup the control file ... and back it up ... and back it up.
That's just paranoia. You can put the whole thing into one file. The
reason for having them separate is in case you need to free up space in the
archive_log_dest by backing up just the archived logs.
To run a backup, type in the following commands:
rman nocatalog
connect target sys/qwerty@DBNAME
@backup_database.rcv
@backup_arch.rcv
exit
Now, make sure you backup /where/it/goes directory to tape with whatever
operating system backup utility you are using.
One thing that can be added, if you want to be extra thorough, is to put in
a log switch followed by an archive log current, after you run the
archivelog backup. Then you run ANOTHER archivelog backup. In the world of
Murphy's Law, you do it this way because your archive_log_dest will, some
day, at the worst possible time, be unable to accommodate a log switch and
archive log current. So you clean it out first prior to the log switch.
It might be useful to know how to restore the database ... that's just
something I saw written on a toilet stall wall. It seems reasonable. (...
He who reads these words of wit, eats those little balls of ... ) I think
the subject is probably more extensive than can be covered in a simple
e-mail; so I won't try to cover it all. But, in it's simplest form, a
recovery looks like:
If the last rman backup has been deleted from /where/it/goes, restore those
files from tape.
startup mount the database (assuming the control file is NOT the thing you
are restoring)
rman nocatalog
connect target sys/qwerty@DBNAME
allocate channel ch1 type disk;
restore database;
restore archivelog all;
recover database;
release channel ch1;
open the database.
See, rman isn't so bad. It's biggest problem is that, if you start to like
it, then it can lead to other things such as liking vi, growing a beard, and
wearing suspenders.
(Obviously, I have a rare day here where I don't have a lot to do. Hence,
the verbose reply.)

Could somebody help me here, this is very critical to be running

I would really like to know what objects are generating all this redo without going through the hassle of mining a bunch of log files. It occurred to me that if table monitoring is active and my stats are up to date I should be able to multiply the total number of updates, inserts and commits by the average row size and get a rough % of what objects are generating the most redo. I am sure there are a number of other factors I need to consider, any ideas what they are? * Should I weight inserts, updates and deletes? * ?? The goal is to identify the objects, then identify the jobs that work on those objects and see if I can reduce redo.

Subject: need to compare long data against varchar2
I need to devise a method of comparing the TEXT column of dba_views against varchar2. End result I want to find the views that reference a particular table within its text.
example (which ~obviously~ will not work):
select view_name
from dba_views
where text like '%table_name%
I understand that a query or PL/SQL procedure of this sort would be long running, but getting the concept to work would be a start.

RE: Programming languages that make DBA's lives easier
Now this thread has gone on for a while so its time for my contribution :-). PL/SQL is such a necessary although pedestrian language that its not interesting. Of the scripting languages TCL, PERL, and Python all include facilities for embedding them into other code or adding other code to them. What we should do is mount an Open Source project to embed Perl and TCL into Python so that we could create one large abomination in which any syntax or facility that pleases us could be used. Concealing your intellectual property would be simple. Write whatever suites you at the time, no one, not even you, will be able to figure out what you wrote after you've been away for it a week.

Re: need to compare long data against varchar2
It wouldn't be too difficult to craft a solution using the to_lob function, global temporary tables and the owa_pattern package. Read the docs on to_lob, and you'll see that it's functionality is limited to use with inserts, hence the use of the global temporary table, though not strictly necessary. A regular table would work as well. Jared On Friday 21 February 2003 07:19, Markham, Richard wrote: I need to devise a method of comparing the TEXT column of dba_views against varchar2.

Re: Automatic Segment Space Management
It's interesting you should mention the
'select for update' in this context.
I'm still working on a puzzle where
I do:
create table t1 (n1 number);
insert into t1 values (0);
insert into t1 values(1);
commit;
select rowid from t1 where n1 = 0;
for i in 1..1000 loop
update t1 set n1 = n1 + 1
where n1 = i;
end loop;-- updates the '1' row 1,000 times.
/
Now, without committing - start another session
that does:
select n1 from t1
where rowid = '{value seen above for n1 = 0}
for update;
Repeat the experiment, but the second time do:
update t1
set n1 = 99
where rowid = '{value seen above for n1 = 0};
Why does one of these statements to 1000
CR gets, whilst the other does none ? How
different are they - they both put an ITL entry
on the block, and change the row content -
they both need to be able to lock the row.
I think this may have some bearing on your
'large number of CR reads' - I too have seen
sites where the numbers got very large (in
part because the CR limit doesn't seem to
be considered if there are free blocks (state = 0)
around to be used). But if the code does
'select for update, update' - then it takes a
long time to make a CR copy in a busy
enviornment, so if concurrency is high on
that block, then I guess the evolving (or
is that devolving) CR block is pinned for
a long time - allowing lots more CR blocks
to be created.

Stephan just passed this on to me...
Cary,
I really must subscribe to this mail list, but until I do, maybe you
can
pass this on.
You are correct, the _db_block_max_cr_dba parameter is just a guide.
I
believe that when needing to create a new CR copy and this limit has
been reached Oracle tries to place any older CR buffers (not sure if
it
does all of them or oldest found) to the cold end of the LRU ready to
leave the cache at the next possible opportunity. If the buffer has
any
users or waiters (can be seen in x$bh), then the CR buffer will
remain
in cache until next time. When a new CR buffer is created, and an
older
CR buffer no longer has users or waiters, it should be aged out of
the
cache as soon as possible.
I hope this helps,
Stephan

Anjo personally saved my bacon when I was at a site in Dallas with
this problem. This particular problem was a vendor application ported
from Sybase and thus used select from blah_id for update; update
blah;
commit; instead of Oracle sequences. These guys had 1,200+ CR copies
of
each little 1-row-1-column id table in their system. In the end, the
vendor repaired its app to use sequence numbers (within the week,
actually!), and the problem which had caused daily shutdown/restarts
ended instantly. The 42 patch, as it was called at the time, would
have helped reduce the severity of the problem, but it wouldn't have
solved it.
I was pretty proud of myself when the engagement was done, but a
monkey
could have probably executed my part in the project if the monkey had

The _db_block_max_cr_dba parameter was put in to fix this problem
with
massive
number of CR copies (segment header blocks mostly). I remember seeing
a
test
case that had 1500+ CR copies of the segment header block. So the fix
was to
limit the number of CR copies. The parameter _db_block_max_cr_dba had
initially a default value of 42 (really). And worked perfectly, but
it
was
brok in Parallel Server, the reason for it not working was very
funny.
While scanning the hash chain for the right (tsn, rdba) the CR code
may
already stop if it finds the best fit and never scan all the buffers
and
there it can't enforce the limit of 6. Another reason could be that
the
buffers are pinned (in use), but they should be flushed out later if
the
same
buffer hash chain is scanned again for the (tsn, rdba).

The database server is vulnerable to a remotely exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability. What exacerbates this problem is that no valid User ID or password is required by an attacker. Details *** There is a remotely exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability in the authentication process with the Oracle Database Server. By supplying an overly long username when attempting to log onto the database server an attacker can overflow a stack based buffer overwriting the saved return address. Any arbitrary code supplied by an attacker would execute with the same privileges as the user running the service; this account is typically Oracle on linux/unix based platforms and Local System on Windows based operating systems such as NT/2000/XP. As such this allows for a complete compromise of the data stored in the database and possibly a complete compromise of the operating system. As most client applications for Oracle will tuncate the length of the username that can be supplied to the database an attacker would need to write their own Oracle Authenticator to exploit this issue. That said, NGSSoftware has found one client application that will allow longer usernames so to test if you are vulnerable to this issue, use the LOADPSP utility usually found in bin directory found under the OracleHomeInstallDirectory. On Windows, for example, run: C:\ora9ias\BINloadpsp -name -user LONGUSERNAME/tiger@iasdb myfile Fix Information *** NGSSoftware alerted Oracle to this vulnerability on 30th September 2002. Oracle has reviewed the code and created a patch which is available from: http://otn.oracle.com/deploy/security/pdf/2003alert51.pdf NGSSoftware advise Oracle database customers to review and install the patch as a matter of urgency. A check for these issues has been added to NGSSQuirreL for Oracle, a comprehensive automated vulnerability assessment tool

Re: How do you calcuate the temp space needed for view?
There are 2 issues here. First the error. What version of Oracle are you using? Is the TEMP tablespace set up as TEMPORARY? What block size are you using (impacts max extents on older versions of Oracle)? If you are not the only user on the system, you must also account for other sorts that are occuring at the same time. Second, the calculation. The calculation you put forward would be reasonably accurate if you were performing a cartesian product. In the case of the view, how many rows match the criteria. If each table has 1,000,000 rows and the average row length is 1k, then each table consumes roughly 1,024,000,000 bytes. If we plug this into your formula.. (1024 * 100) * (1024 * 100) = 102400 * 102400 = 1048576 or 931 petabytes (1024 gig = 1 petabyte). (Note to self, buy EMC stock). A more accurate method would be to determine how many records will be returned by the query (each table can be queried independently). For each record in table1(parent), how many records will be returned in table2(child)? Get an average, say that for each record in table1, an average of 2 records in table2 will be returned. At this point you need to reverse the numbers for the calculation. Why? Each child will 'attach' to its own copy of the parent record. So, take the size of table2 (# of rows * row length) and add it to the size of table1 (# of rows * row length) * the average number of children. This calculation is not exact and does not account for overhead, hwm, etc. But I have used it in some data warehousing systems (back when disk was not so cheap) and it worked out reasonably well.

Re: Oh Where Oh Where Is My Redo Coming From
Which version of Oracle ? Has someone switched on supplemental logging at the database level, perhaps ? Have you got dbms_job kicking in every 5 seconds with job_queues set to 10 ? (Honest, I have seen it happen, and the effect on redo was astonishing - and there was only one job actually ever available to run). Does the application use lots of transient tables which it fills and then deletes / rolls back. Is the volume of redo very much larger than the volume of UNDO, as this may indicate table creation, index rebuilds, mass inserts rather than update activity (which would tend to leave the redo in the ballpark of double the undo). Are there any files with an extreme number of writes (other than temporary tablespace files of course) - as you might want to track the objects in those files rather than trying to monitor the whole database. Are there any files with lots of multiblock writes - (apart from temp) as this tends to indicate table moves, index rebuilds, as well as direct mode inserts.

Re: Snapshot Too Old Error on Export !!!
In addition to the other comments about export not being a backup, let me add a few things. Managing the trade off between many rollback segments (good for oltp performance) and large rollback segments (necessary to avoid 1555) is often a tough one. As somebody else said, you can optimize export performance by doing direct path, but besides that, the time it takes to export each individual table (that would be the entire export if consistent=yes) must be smaller than the time it takes for any rollback segment to wrap (note, this is not the WRAP column of v$rollstat, rather you should compare the growth of the WRITES column with the RSSSIZE column). If need an idea on a running system about how long the longest query can be without running into 1555, the attached can be used. It basically looks at v$rollstat twice with 10 seconds between them, and estimates how many hours it will take for the most rapidly used rollback segment to wrap. On a less busy system, you may want to modify the 10 seconds to something larger. BTW, at a ct. I was working on, we had to go to 100 segments (due to OLTP requirements) of 1GB each (due to requirements to allow 4-5 hour queries to run without 1555 risk). Yes, this is 100Gb of rollback:-) /Bjørn. Jackson Dumas wrote: Hi all I have a problem when doing an export in one of ourt production databases.

RE: Oh Where Oh Where Is My Redo Coming From
Ethan, monitoring is active and my stats are up to date I should be able to multiply the total number of updates, inserts and commits by the average row size and get a rough % of what objects are generating the most redo. Note that the amount of redo does not depend on the average row size. It depends on the amount of _change_ (+ some overhead). This argument might skew the situation towards a table that has a large row size but that does not have that many updates... I am sure there are a number of other factors I need to consider, any ideas what they are? * Should I weight inserts, updates and deletes? * ?? The goal is to identify the objects, then identify the jobs that work on those objects and see if I can reduce redo. I suspect a lot of this redo is being generated because of some poor design issues. What you _do_ need to do is to use this SQL to detect the SIDs performing redo: select sid, name, value from v$statname n, v$sesstat v where v.statistic# = n.statistic# and name like 'redo size' and value 10 order by value desc You can then look at V$OPEN_CURSORS for those SIDs...

Re: Oh Where Oh Where Is My Redo Coming From
Ethan, v$sess_io will provide a list of the sessions generating block changes and, therefore, redo. Link this back to v$session, etc. for the 'offending' sessions, sql. I've used this several times with great success. Sometimes it was a data load, others it was bad sql. When you change a block (insert/update/delete), you also generate changes to indexes, undo segments (1 change for each row and 1 change for each index affected) and perhaps the data dictionary for space management.

RE: Oh Where Oh Where Is My Redo Coming From
Yes, that is what I was saying, however large rows or tables with a lot of indexes would also be prone to generate more redo, that is why I suggest joining DBA_TAB_MODIFICATIONS to DBA_TABLES to get avg_row_len and DBA_IND_COLUMNS to get the total # of columns indexes on the table, the thought being the more columns the more likley updates, inserts and deletes will cause index generated redo.

To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L
I would echo a previous post that you can't backup a database with the
export utility. I suspect you get your error because you are using
consistent=y in the export. The database is trying to give you data as of
the time you started the export. The fact that you are getting the snapshot
too old message is evidence that the data is changing while you are
exporting -- to the extent that the database is eventually unable to keep
doing it -- but these data changes will not be in the export file.
A genuine backup using rman or the old alter tablespace begin backup method
is the only proper backup.
If you are trying to get production data to move into a test/development
database schema, then export is certainly the most convenient way of doing
it. If you are, in fact, trying to backup the database, here is something
to get you started.
If the filesystem to which your export file is going is big enough, consider
using that filesystem to store a database backup instead of an export.
Assuming it is /where/it/goes, try the following:
Make sure sys (or system, if you prefer) has been granted sysdba in the
database.
Create two files with text similar to the following:
for file named backup_database.rcv:
-- snip -
run {
allocate channel ch1 type disk format '/where/it/goes/%U_DATA';
set command id to 'rman';
backup
tag backup_db_full
(database include current controlfile);
release channel ch1;
}
- snip --
This will backup the database.
for file named backup_arch.rcv
- snip
run {
allocate channel ch1 type disk format '/where/it/goes/%U_ARCH';
set command id to 'rman';
change archivelog all crosscheck;
backup
(archivelog all delete input);
backup ***This line and the next if you are duplexing archived logs***
(archivelog like '/directory/where/duplexed/archivelogs/are/%' delete
input);
release channel ch1;
allocate channel ch1 type disk format '/where/it/goes/%U_CONTROL';
backup current controlfile tag='backup';
release channel ch1;
sql ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO
''/where/it/goes/CONTROL_FILE.BAK'' REUSE;
}
snip
This will backup the archived logs and the control file. Note that the last
command tells the database to make a physical copy of the control file. The
reason for this is that rman has been writing backup info to the control
while the backup is running. So you make a copy of it after the backup has
completed in case you lose all copies of your control files. If your
database and all control files got completely blown away, you can copy the
control file copy back to where it was and start restoring. You might note
that I backup the control file ... and back it up ... and back it up.
That's just paranoia. You can put the whole thing into one file. The
reason for having them separate is in case you need to free up space in the
archive_log_dest by backing up just the archived logs.
To run a backup, type in the following commands:
rman nocatalog
connect target sys/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
backup_database.rcv
backup_arch.rcv
exit
Now, make sure you backup /where/it/goes directory to tape with whatever
operating system backup utility you are using.
One thing that can be added, if you want to be extra thorough, is to put in
a log switch followed by an archive log current, after you run the
archivelog backup. Then you run ANOTHER archivelog backup. In the world of
Murphy's Law, you do it this way because your archive_log_dest will, some
day, at the worst possible time, be unable to accommodate a log switch and
archive log current. So you clean it out first prior to the log switch.
It might be useful to know how to restore the database ... that's just
something I saw written on a toilet stall wall. It seems reasonable. (...
He who reads these words of wit, eats those little balls of ... ) I think
the subject is probably more extensive than can be covered in a simple
e-mail; so I won't try to cover it all. But, in it's simplest form, a
recovery looks like:
If the last rman backup has been deleted from /where/it/goes, restore those
files from tape.
startup mount the database (assuming the control file is NOT the thing you
are restoring)
rman nocatalog
connect target sys/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
allocate channel ch1 type disk;
restore database;
restore archivelog all;
recover database;
release channel ch1;
open the database.
See, rman isn't so bad. It's biggest problem is that, if you

RE: Oh Where Oh Where Is My Redo Coming From
Sure that is the way I would typically do it, but in this case I have an application that is running 8000 batch processes per day, redo is very consistent for most of the 24 hours. I asked myself what is the simplest way to figure out which objects likely generate all of this redo. Monitoring sesstat is not going to be the most efficient and accurate method in this case. As it turns out the results (based on the SQL I posted) show the F0911 (JDE Oneworld GL Ledger) table likely produces at least 70-80% of the redo. During the batch job tuning process I will focus on tuning jobs that effect this table. There are also a ridiculous # of indexes on this table, over 120 columns involved in all of the indexes, I am sure many are redundant. Since redo log contention is one of the primary issues with this database I should see some dramatic improvements once a few of the jobs are tuned. - Ethan -Original Message- Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 11:24 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi, The simpler approach is to check the user level redo (or session level redo) using the v$sysstat,sesstat views and you can find the programmes associated with those huge (!) redo.

Re: AIX question
And, though I'm not sure if you need root to run it, I remember smitty was a wonderful little menu-driven tool for finding such information. And you hit a key combo that would show you the actual command for future reference. You'll have to forgive the vagueness, it's been quite some time since I had to use AIX.

RE: How do you calcuate the temp space needed for view?
There is no set formula to assess temp table space for a given query. If your query resulting in Cartesian Join, even temp space of 8-10GB my be insufficient. As I have no 7.3.3.6 database available to test but you can check compatible parameter in your initSID.ora file. and set it to 7.3.3.6 if different and try maxextents script. Clean shutdown and rebounce of database is required to change this param to come into effect. What is your initial and next extent size? Are you creating new temp tablespace? Try initial and extent extent 10M or larger. As your db_block_size is 2K,allowable maxextents are 121 if you are unable to make it maxextents. Regards Rafiq Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2003 20:08:46 -0800 Hi Rafiq, My database version is 7.3.3.6.0, so I cannot set the maxextents unlimited. I added another datafile and increase initial extent and next extent much larger for this tablespace. My user still encountered the error. I would like to know how much space is needed for selecting the view. Any advice ? TIA.

Your database having db_block_size 2K so max extents are 121. You may alter your temp tablespace by alter tablespace temp default storage(maxextents unlimited); then alter tablespace temp coalesce; and try your query. If space is not sufficient in temp ts then message will come with ORA-1652. In that case you have to increase size of temp tablespace by resizing extisting file or adding another datafile. HTH, Regards Rafiq Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2003 17:08:49 -0800 Hi Gurus, I issue the following command select count(*) from view1 and encounter the following error ORA-01630: max # extents (121) reached in temp segment in tablespace TEMP. I think I need to increase the tablespace TEMP but how do I calculate the temporary space needed ? Assuming view1 is select * from table1, table2 where table1.Col1=table2.Col1 Is the temporary space needed = (table 1 row-length * table 1 total number of rows ) * (table 2 row-length * table 2 total number of rows ) ? Any advice ? Thanks.
