Re: Slow query
Which version of Oracle ? The second query has to do a trunc() and a to_date() on every single row. The first only has to do a to_char on every single row. There is a CPU difference between the two queries and if you run the execution plan through v9 with cpu_costing, you will find a difference in cost - though probably not enough to agree with your clock test. A simple test on 8.1.7.4 and 9.2.0.2 where I created a table of 128,000 rows with a date column scattered inside a single date showed that one query used about twice the CPU of the other in v9, and four times in v8. (Unfortunately, in all cases, the CPU reported by Oracle was consistently larger than the elapsed time reported by SQL*Plus). First check, though, is the test repeatable, or did something happen elsewhere to affect the elapsed time. (e.g. was one tested subject to a lot of delayed block cleanout). NB - The execution plan shown is not the plan for either of the two statements, and I am fairly sure that neither statement could actually return 120,000 rows in 10 ms. Do your timings refer to a test where you changed the query to do a count() ?

I guess that, if the execution plans are identical, what you are experiencing is just the effect of caching. For a reason or another the data already was in memory in one case, and had to be loaded from disk in the other one. Check your trace statistics under SQL*Plus, logical IOs will probably be more or less identical and physical IOs wildly different. Note that as long as you apply a function to dep_date, your only way to escape the FTS is (supposing 8.1.7 or above) function-based indexes. If dep_date is indexed, then you should use something like dep_date = some_date and dep_date some_date + 1 instead of trunc(dep_date) = some_date It will allow for range scans.

RE: Slow query
A small follow up question: Why will oracle do a to_date() on second query for each row returned, as the date mentioned is a literal and doesn't change for the duration of the query. Won't it be calculated once and used for all the rows with trunc() applied to each row? Regards Naveen -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 3:04 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Which version of Oracle ? The second query has to do a trunc() and a to_date() on every single row. The first only has to do a to_char on every single row. There is a CPU difference between the two queries and if you run the execution plan through v9 with cpu_costing, you will find a difference in cost - though probably not enough to agree with your clock test. A simple test on 8.1.7.4 and 9.2.0.2 where I created a table of 128,000 rows with a date column scattered inside a single date showed that one query used about twice the CPU of the other in v9, and four times in v8. (Unfortunately, in all cases, the CPU reported by Oracle was consistently larger than the elapsed time reported by SQL*Plus). First check, though, is the test repeatable, or did something happen elsewhere to affect the elapsed time. (e.g. was one tested subject to a lot of delayed block cleanout). NB - The execution plan shown is not the plan for either of the two statements, and I am fairly sure that neither statement could actually return 120,000 rows in 10 ms. Do your timings refer to a test where you changed the query to do a count() ?

8i databases under 9i listener?
Title: 8i databases under 9i listener? RS6000 running AIX 4.3.3. We are experiencing the following issues with our 8.1.7.4 databases under a 9.2.0.1 listener. 1) PL/SQL procedures utilizing UTL_FILE fail with INVALID_PATH errors when attempting to open a file. 2) Database links from WE8ISO8859P1 databases to UTF8 databases fail with ORA-3113. Database links work fine as long as the character set is the same on both databases. We've checked, and double-check, all environment variables, O/S permissions, and so forth. Oracle Support has been basically useless. Eventually, they stated that these problems are unique to the AIX platform, and not something that they've seen on HP or Solaris, and recommended running both the 8i and 9i listeners, in other words, they had no clue. The sequence of events went like this: Feb 7th -- 9.2.0.1 was installed on our test/development box, on which there are eight 8.1.7.4 instances running. Feb 14th -- We startup the 9i listener and shutdown the 8i listener. Feb 21st -- First upgrade of an 8.1.7.4 database to 9.2.0.1. The upgrade was successful. The funny thing is that none of the 8.1.7.4 databases had any problems with the 9i listener from Feb 14th to Feb 21st, either with UTL_FIL or with database links. But on Feb 21st, after the first 9.2.0.1 database upgrade, the 9i listener was bounced for the first time since it's inception, and then all the problems started. We are back to running both an 8i and 9i listener for the time being, but I have a lurking suspicion that something is not right somewhere, and could come back and bite us in the future.

Apache and mod_plsql
We are running 9iAS. If I understand this correctly, 9iAS is simply Apache with a PL/SQL module from Oracle. Our management would like to save the Oracle Support dollars for 9iAS, so I am looking into alternatives. We use the PL/SQL web packages, so my options are limited unless we choose to rewrite code. My questions are: 1) Is it possible to add the (or a) PL/SQL module to Apache without going through Oracle - or does the combination of the two simply give you 9iAS, which is an Oracle product? 2) Any comments or experience with DBPrism (http://www.plenix.com/dbprism/), which is the only possible alternative that I have found so far?

RMAN resync of catalog to controlfile
Robert, and all of you other RMAN gurus. scenario 1: repository unavailable, so rman backup was done using controlfile only. upon later successful connection to repository, the backup info was pushed from controlfile to repository(YEA). scenario 2: I have to rebuild the controlfile and have a rman repository. so i do a resync in rman, rebuild the controlfile and connect back to repository, doing a resync HOPING that the controlfile gets updated with info from repository, no such luck. I did a dump of the controlfile(via alter session set events 'immediate trace name controlf level 10'), looking for the section on BACKUP SET RECORDS and BACKUP PIECE RECORDS and there is nothing there. so my question is this: is the resync only a one way push, i understand oracle's mentality about not overwriting the backup records in the controlfile since that should be the true information, but is there a way to force oracle/rman to push the repository info back into the controlfile, i've not found a solution for this. if anyone is interested in the dump files, let me know and i'll make them available on the web so you can see what I'm talking about. thanks, joe Joseph S Testa Chief Technology Officer Data Management Consulting p: 614-791-9000 f: 614-791-9001 -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Joseph S Testa 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).

If I were given this request, I would tell the developer let's go find the person who can authorize your access and they will have the password.

In the past, when moving to a new Oracle release, we would install the software, upgrade our listener, and then start to upgrade our instances, one by one. This go around, after upgrading our listener to 9.2.0.2, when PeopleSoft tries to connect to a 8.1.7.3 database using the 9.2.0.2 listener, the process fails with the message "ORA-01890 NLS error detected". This is happening both when a PS App Server is connecting to Oracle and when the PS client program connects in 2-tier mode. We didn't see this type of behavior with other tools (SQL+, Toad, etc.) connecting to Oracle, so we thought it was a PS problem and reported it to their support center without much progress. In the mean time, we have reconfigured so that we are now running 2 listeners on the box, one for Oracle 8i and one for Oracle 9iR2. So far, we have not found a problem with Oracle 9iR2 databases interacting with like listeners, but our testing continues.

RS6000 running AIX 4.3.3. We are experiencing the following issues with our 8.1.7.4 databases under a 9.2.0.1 listener. 1) PL/SQL procedures utilizing UTL_FILE fail with INVALID_PATH errors when attempting to open a file. 2) Database links from WE8ISO8859P1 databases to UTF8 databases fail with ORA-3113. Database links work fine as long as the character set is the same on both databases. We've checked, and double-check, all environment variables, O/S permissions, and so forth. Oracle Support has been basically useless. Eventually, they stated that these problems are unique to the AIX platform, and not something that they've seen on HP or Solaris, and recommended running both the 8i and 9i listeners, in other words, they had no clue. The sequence of events went like this: Feb 7th -- 9.2.0.1 was installed on our test/development box, on which there are eight 8.1.7.4 instances running. Feb 14th -- We startup the 9i listener and shutdown the 8i listener. Feb 21st -- First upgrade of an 8.1.7.4 database to 9.2.0.1. The upgrade was successful. The funny thing is that none of the 8.1.7.4 databases had any problems with the 9i listener from Feb 14th to Feb 21st, either with UTL_FIL or with database links. But on Feb 21st, after the first 9.2.0.1 database upgrade, the 9i listener was bounced for the first time since it's inception, and then all the problems started. We are back to running both an 8i and 9i listener for the time being, but I have a lurking suspicion that something is not right somewhere, and could come back and bite us in the future.

Re: Oracle Internet File System
iFS 1.X.X and below is alternately with the 8.1.7 database and 9iAS 1.0.2.X
9iFS 9.0.1 is with the Database CD Pack {on a seperate CD}
9iFS 9.0.2 is part of 9iAS 9.0.2 {on a seperate CD}
9iFS 9.0.3 has been renamed as Oracle Files and is part of Oracle
Collaboration Suite.
Check the MetaLink certification pages for

We are looking at collaboration tools such as SharePoint which takes a SQL

of any first release from Oracle especially in an area where their success

Re: Oracle 9i RAC on Windows using firewire
Hi, It is true that the firewire stuff IS linux only. It was written by Wim Coekaerts (who I used to work together with in Oracle Dev.), who also wrote (together with his group) the cluster file system for linux. I haven't personally tried it yet, but an old collegue(sp?) of mine has tried it. Speedwise it still has some more ground to cover, but for a demo/test setup it's excellent and cheap. Regards, Morten Jack van Zanen wrote: Hi We are not a Unix shop and would like to build a test setup of 9iRAC on windows at the cheapest price.

RE: Apache and mod_plsql
MOD_PLSQL is licensed under GPL and its home page is on http://www.selfsoft.com/progs/mod_plsql In my opinion Apache with PHP is equally good as mod_plsql. The main advantage of the modules is that they become a part of Apache httpd process, so you don't have to go through CGI and process switching, everything is handled within the httpd process. -Original Message- From: Jay Hostetter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 9:06 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Apache and mod_plsql We are running 9iAS.

RE: ORA-00018: maximum number of sessions exceeded
You can use LICENSE_MAX_SESSIONS to associate with your license, although I don't know why you would want to do it if your database is in-house [if you are an ASP you might want to restrict the number of sessions running against the database on *your* server]. SESSIONS has nothing to do with License. It is best left at its default [ie NOT defined in the initSID.ora] whereby it becomes PROCESSES*1.1 Else, if you really do have multiple sessions, you could set it higher.

Database links work fine as long as the character set is the same on both databases. We've checked, and double-check, all environment variables, O/S permissions, and so forth. Oracle Support has been basically useless. Eventually, they stated that these problems are unique to the AIX platform, and not something that they've seen on HP or Solaris, and recommended running both the 8i and 9i listeners, in other words, they had no clue. The sequence of events went like this: Feb 7th -- 9.2.0.1 was installed on our test/development box, on which there are eight 8.1.7.4 instances running. Feb 14th -- We startup the 9i listener and shutdown the 8i listener. Feb 21st -- First upgrade of an 8.1.7.4 database to 9.2.0.1. The upgrade was successful. The funny thing is that none of the 8.1.7.4 databases had any problems with the 9i listener from Feb 14th to Feb 21st, either with UTL_FIL or with database links. But on Feb 21st, after the first 9.2.0.1 database upgrade, the 9i listener was bounced for the first time since it's inception, and then all the problems started.

RE: RMAN resync of catalog to controlfile
resync is only one way, unfortunatly. I don't know of any way to update the control file with backup records from the recovery catalog. RF -Original Message- To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: 3/5/2003 8:19 AM Robert, and all of you other RMAN gurus. scenario 1: repository unavailable, so rman backup was done using controlfile only. upon later successful connection to repository, the backup info was pushed from controlfile to repository(YEA). scenario 2: I have to rebuild the controlfile and have a rman repository. so i do a resync in rman, rebuild the controlfile and connect back to repository, doing a resync HOPING that the controlfile gets updated with info from repository, no such luck. I did a dump of the controlfile(via alter session set events 'immediate trace name controlf level 10'), looking for the section on BACKUP SET RECORDS and BACKUP PIECE RECORDS and there is nothing there. so my question is this: is the resync only a one way push, i understand oracle's mentality about not overwriting the backup records in the controlfile since that should be the true information, but is there a way to force oracle/rman to push the repository info back into the controlfile, i've not found a solution for this. if anyone is interested in the dump files, let me know and i'll make them available on the web so you can see what I'm talking about. thanks, joe Joseph S Testa Chief Technology Officer Data Management Consulting p: 614-791-9000 f: 614-791-9001 -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Joseph S Testa 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).

Re: How Reliable is Explain Plan in 9.2
Title: Re: How Reliable is Explain Plan in 9.2 Yes, explain plan will become increasingly unreliable as the cbo takes more and more factors and current conditions current into account. Some of the factors that can change the outcome of a parse from session to session are: for Oracle 8 - different session parameters (db_file_multiblock_read_count, hash_multiblock_io_count, sort_area_size, hash_area_size) for Oracle 9i additionally - you can let Oracle dynamically set the sort_area_size and other memory parameters so you have a moving target now - bind variable peeking - the first parse determines the plan for all following sql depending on its bind value - system statistics in effect at the time of parse. If the system statistics get changed, existing plans do not get invalidated, but if you do an explain the cbo will use the current values - dynamic sampling where the optimizer tries to improve on its estimates by sampling predicate values at the time of parsing. from comments I heard, it will get worse (as far as explain differing from reality is concerned) with Oracle 10.

OEM and monitoring clustered databases
I've had problems trying to use OEM (9.0.1) to monitor clustered databases. The problem is that each database is set up in it's own resource group, therefore each has it's own virtual hostname. Even though I may have several databases all running on the same physical host, they all have different virtual hostnames that move with the database when it fails over to another node in the cluster. When you discover a node, it picks up all of the databases on the node and registers them with the OMS as being on that node. Once one of them fails over it's no longer on that node and can't be monitored from OEM anymore. I'm sure others on this list are using this type of failover for high availability.

I did a dump of the controlfile(via alter session set events 'immediate trace name controlf level 10'), looking for the section on BACKUP SET RECORDS and BACKUP PIECE RECORDS and there is nothing there. so my question is this: is the resync only a one way push, i understand oracle's mentality about not overwriting the backup records in the controlfile since that should be the true information, but is there a way to force oracle/rman to push the repository info back into the controlfile, i've not found a solution for this. if anyone is interested in the dump files, let me know and i'll make them available on the web so you can see what I'm talking about. thanks, joe Joseph S Testa Chief Technology Officer Data Management Consulting p: 614-791-9000 f: 614-791-9001 -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Joseph S Testa 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).

access to oracle $ tables in 9.2.0
Title: access to oracle $ tables in 9.2.0 Previously, an account with the DBA role could directly query oracle's internal tables (user$, seg$, ts$, etc). Now in 9.2.0.2, it appears we can't.

Re: How Reliable is Explain Plan in 9.2
I think there's a big emotional difference between unreliable and won't necessarily give you the plan under the current circumstances that it gave at the time of execution - which has been true since the utility came out. It is true, of course, that the reasons for the variation have become increasingly subtle - but in theory the DBA should still be sufficiently in control of all the necessary parameters to cater for the likely variations. Of course, when the real-time learning module get included, then we're stuffed. BTW - - system statistics in effect at the time of parse. If the system statistics get changed, existing plans do not get invalidated, but if you do an explain the cbo will use the current values I read this in the manuals recently - but the first time I tested it, I got a plan invalidation, re-parse and new execution path.

Some of the factors that can change the outcome of a parse from session to session are: for Oracle 8 - different session parameters (db_file_multiblock_read_count, hash_multiblock_io_count, sort_area_size, hash_area_size) for Oracle 9i additionally - you can let Oracle dynamically set the sort_area_size and other memory parameters so you have a moving target now - bind variable peeking - the first parse determines the plan for all following sql depending on its bind value - system statistics in effect at the time of parse. If the system statistics get changed, existing plans do not get invalidated, but if you do an explain the cbo will use the current values - dynamic sampling where the optimizer tries to improve on its estimates by sampling predicate values at the time of parsing. from comments I heard, it will get worse (as far as explain differing from reality is concerned) with Oracle 10. The optimizer will try and learn from past executions of a sql and modify the plan if appropriate.
