Re: OR Vs UNION

2003-06-24 Thread Mark Richard

In that simple example the OR is almost certainly faster...

1)  UNION forces a sort operation to be performed (UNION ALL is better in
this respect).

2)  If the query is forced to perform a full table scan then the union
option will perform two scans.  There will be similar issues if a full
index scan is performed.  Of course a lot of data will be cached for the
second pass but it must still be done.

Therefore, in your simple example (not knowing table volumes, indexing
strategies, etc) I would suggest the OR option.  Having said that, there
are examples in complex queries where a union may perform better (and it
may be easier to write as well).

Regards,
  Mark.

Re: Migrating 8i OPS to RAC 9.2

2003-06-24 Thread Tanel Poder
Hi!

There's actually no need to migrate any contents of redo logs, since you
must have shut down your database cleanly anyway, the logs can be safely
reset - no need for keeping them...

Tanel.


 A Basic Qs

 Do the 2 Sets of Redo Log groups belonging to the different instances
undergo Migration from 8i to 9i ?
 If so , how are the Online Redo Log groups individually Migrated from 8i
to 9i ?

 Could NOT find any reference to individual Redo Log groups getting
migrated in the Docs.

 Thanks

Re: Thanks!! What are the type#'s in obj$ ?

2003-06-24 Thread Tanel Poder
Hi!

 The example given below is tootaly wrong in this concern.
 Type 10 is used for nagetivec dependancy tracking of objects.
 This is use in reference of public on object of one schema and used by
other
 schema and oracle internally assume that second schema have the referenced
 object  and have type#10 ( in reality it is not exist).

Not correct. Negative dep. tracking is only one of the cases why we see type
10 objects.

And if you check my example more closely, I didn't use public synonyms.
Not-existing (type 10) objects are needed only in case of public synonyms,
to be sure that dependent objects are invalidated if an object with same
name is created in current schema.

But the second case is just for keeping obj$ table and indexes sane in
environments where objects are very frequently dropped and recreated. When
dropping sequences, synonyms, procedures-functions, etc.. you actually see
that the objects remain in obj$ table with type# 10. No public synonyms or
dependencies involved at all! When you create a new same type object with
different name, a new entry is added to obj$, but when you recreate the same
type object with old, original name,  the type 10 entry in obj$ is actually
reused (updated back to correct type). There is no index on type# column,
thus it's cheaper just to update the type# column instead of delete from
table and maintain corresponding index entries (possibly following an insert
shortly). The type 10 entries (actually only those which don't have anyone
depending on them) are deleted by SMON during next startup (maybe after some
time interval too, haven't checked that far).

So, there are more cases when type 10 entries might exist in obj$ and my
example is correct.

Btw, you should proofread your posts, it isn't easy to read what words like
'nagetivec' might mean ;)

Tanel.

From previous discussion with Oracle on the subject. It includes the

Re: RE: OR Vs UNION

2003-06-24 Thread rgaffuri
the algorithm for 'or' is simply a series of key value searches right that is short 
circuited right?

oracle searches to see if the first value exists, if it does, stop, else look for the 
second value.

then turns that into a resultset correct?

Re: DBA Salary in California

2003-06-24 Thread rgaffuri
in the DC area, salaries for jobs that do not require a security clearance have 
dropped a ton. I saw one DBA job that wanted 5 years experience advertised at 
$45k/year. I dont know if they filled it, but I have talked to quite a few people that 
turned them down. 

id be curious about salaries in california. Seems to me most advertised salaries are 
very low. Seems like most oracle jobs around here are short term contracts. It also 
seems like contracting companies are keeping alot more of the rate for themselves. 
This is evident sicne you often see 3-5 contracters advertising for the same exact job 
at different rates. The good thing about that is that contracts are no longer sole 
source bids, so you an negotiate your way up. but id bet if you did that... you would 
be blacklisted and they wouldnt call you again.

 term contracts. It also seems like contracting companies are keeping alot 
 more of the rate for themselves. This is evident sicne you often see 3-5 
 contracters advertising for the same exact job at different rates. The 
 good thing about that is that contracts are no longer sole source bids, so 
 you an negotiate your way up. but id bet if you did that... you would be 
 blacklisted and they wouldnt call you again.

Re: Thanks!! What are the type#'s in obj$ ?

2003-06-24 Thread Tanel Poder
Jared,

It's quite easy to check: 

alter session set sql_trace = true;
drop sequence s;
...
or better use 10046 trace with binds.
Then search for all occurrences of obj$ in trace file. Also you can set 
tracing on instance level in init.ora and see what SMON is performing
during startup. From there you see that it executes a query finding
all type# 10 obj$ entries, which do not have dependants (the negative
dep tracking case.)

Generally all other base tables (like seg$, dependency$, etc..) 
get deleted the record(s), but obj$ is only updated to type 10.
Thats the case with dropping synonyms, sequences, procedures,
functions, probably several other DD objects as well, it's possible
to trace it all.

But when dropping a segment (table, index) for example, then obj$ gets 
eventually deleted as well. (btw, I base my claims on tests on Oracle 
version is 9.2.0.1 on Win, don't know about previous versions)

Cheers,
Tanel.

 Interesting. I didn't realize that oracle would keep
 dropped objects as an unused type rather than delete them.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Jared

Re: Thanks!! What are the type#'s in obj$ ?

2003-06-24 Thread Daniel Fink
Another thing to consider is that the object id may be needed for 
recovery/rollback/read consistency purposes. The object id is one of the fields kept 
in the undo record. I presume this is for a sanity check to make certain that the undo 
is being applied to the right object. I wonder if the same field is part of the redo 
record? If Oracle does not reuse object ids, then an undo record would not be 
mistakenly applied to the object that has now allocated that file.block.row even if it 
is not the
same object that was originally the source of the undo.begin:vcard

Re: Event to show Query Rewrite

2003-06-24 Thread Darrell Landrum
2 things, one is that our (on 8i, then updgraded to 9.2.0.1) MVs on
prebuilt also show a staleness status of unknown, yet work find.  Ok
with me we just look for that now.
The other thing is depending on what you're wanting to accomplish, you
can simply turn off query rewrite for your session, then the select
count will (should) run against the correct table.
alter session set query_rewrite_enabled=false;

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/24/03 03:04PM 
Listers,

Does anyone know how to set an event, or some other method, to see what
query Oracle rewrites for a Materialized View and how it arrives at that
decision? I am seeing a problem here in my DW database where the query
select count(*) from base_table is rewritten as select count(*) from
MV_on_the _base_table, a clearly wrong rewrite of the query.

Oracle 9.2.0.3 on Tru64 Unix.

The base table is (col1 date, col2 varchar2(20), col3, col4, col5...)
range partitioned on col1 and list subpartitioned on col2. the MV is
select col1, col2, count(*) totrows from base group by col1, col2,
also partitioned in the same manner as the base table. The MV is first
as a table and then the MV is built with on prebuilt table clause.

Query_rewrite_enabled = true and query_rewrite_integrity =
stale_tolerated.

A query select count(*) from base is probably rewritten as select
count(*) from MV_base, and of course, the results are wrong. Oracle
Support asks to provide a test case and I am unable to reproduce it.
Upon examination, the STALENESS column in user_mviews is UNKNOWN for
this MV; STALE for all others. Oracle Support can't explain what could
be the cause of this status except that it happens when an MV is
created on a prebuilt table.

My only recourse at this time is to identify the decision making
process Oracle used to arrive at the query it rewrites to and perhaps
explain that somehow. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance.

RE: Dimensional Modeling - b-tree vs. bitmapped indexes

2003-06-24 Thread Paula_Stankus
Title: RE: Dimensional Modeling - b-tree vs. bitmapped indexes





Guys,


My understanding is that Oracle's Star Transformation Algorithm does bitmapped merges on the dimensions tables to pull out the FACTS in the FACT table rather efficiently and that you would use bitmapped indexes on your dimensions tables rather than btree. However, noted a posted on data warehousing listserve which said Oracle Expert was strongly recommending b-tree. I haven't used Oracle Expert very much - I don't trust it as much as the various traces, running queries and testing yourself. I guess I feel like Oracle Expert would give you rule-of-thumb stuff and have lots of inherent problems in its recommendations - like exactly what you feed it. I don't trust this over the testing and tracing to see what is happening with the CBO myself. Any opinions?

Re: DATAFILE SIZE

2003-06-24 Thread Gilles PARC
Hi jerome,

I think there is still a limit.
For example, with Oracle 9i 64 bits on Aix 4.3.3
the limit is around 4 million Oracle blocks  (exactly  4194303)
for a datafile/tempfile
So the real limit depends on your db_block_size but there is one.

Re: oracle authentication from windows

2003-06-24 Thread Gilles PARC
Hi Arup,

At 21:59 21/06/2003 -0800, you wrote:
Snip...

An OS user called scott will be able to connect as the database user
OPS$SCOTT, not SCOTT - a big difference. This is why the os_authent_prefix
parameter is so important to set; don't leave it as null. If it is null,
then the OS user scott can connect to database user scott.

Maybe I miss the obvious..
Considering remote_os_authent=false, why for LOCAL connections
os_authent_prefix='' is inherently less secure than os_authent_prefix=OPS$ 
or whatever string you choose.
In each case, the prerequisite is to create the user identified externally
(that's where you MUST be cautious)
But if scott is created with a password (i.e create user scott identified
by tiger)
then no OS user scott can log on whatever the os_authent_prefix is.
At least that's how I understand the feature.
Can you please elaborate on the security issue ?

 Any ideas how to restrict the externally identified users so that they
 have to log in to the database server to access their oracle schemas.?

Well, they are mutually exclusive. A user is authenticated by either the
database or externally, not both. So if you create user scott identified
externally, you are allowing him to bypass database authentication. If you
don't want that, then you would create user SCOTT identified by a password.

In fact if os_authent_prefix=OPS$ and ONLY in this case,
you can still do this (it's inherited from V6 days but still working
with Oracle 9i R2) :

create user ops$arup identified by nanda;
grant create session to ops$arup;
And know you can either connect with
sqlplus /
or
sqlplus /nolog
connect ops$arup/nanda
or 
sqlplus /nolog
connect ops$arup
password  : nanda

Although it doesn't work directly from the command line 
like  sqlplus ops$arup/nanda 
or sqlplus ops$arup
password : nanda
(But works again after you get
 Enter username for a 2nd try)

PMTo: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-LSubject: Event 
to show Query Rewrite
Listers,

Does anyone know how to set an event, or some other 
method, to see what query Oracle rewrites for a Materialized View and how it 
arrives at that decision? I am seeing a problem here in my DW database where the 
query "select count(*) from base_table" is rewritten as "select count(*) from 
MV_on_the _base_table", a clearly wrong rewrite of the query.

Oracle 9.2.0.3 on Tru64 Unix.

The base table is (col1 date, col2 varchar2(20), 
col3, col4, col5...) range partitioned on col1 and list subpartitioned on col2. 
the MV is "select col1, col2, count(*) totrows from base group by col1, col2", 
also partitioned in the same manner as the base table. The MV is first as a 
table and then the MV is built with "on prebuilt table" clause.

Query_rewrite_enabled = true and 
query_rewrite_integrity = stale_tolerated.

A query "select count(*) from base" is probably 
rewritten as "select count(*) from MV_base", and of course, the results are 
wrong. Oracle Support asks to provide a test case and I am unable to reproduce 
it. Upon examination, the STALENESS column in user_mviews is "UNKNOWN" for this 
MV; STALE for all others. Oracle Support can't explain what could be the cause 
of this status except that "it happens when an MV is created on a prebuilt 
table".

My only recourse at this time is to identify the 
decision making process Oracle used to arrive at the queryit rewrites to 
and perhaps explain that somehow. Any help will be greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Re: Index question

2003-06-24 Thread Mark Richard

Hi,

There are a couple of tables to help you out...

user_indexes (or all_indexes) will show you the indexes and their
associated tables.
user_ind_columns (or all_ind_columns) will show the columns contained
within the index (multiple rows per index potentially).

In your example, an index on the item column is the only thing which will
help.

Try:

create index ind_itemloc_item on itemloc(item);

Then issue:

analyze table itemloc estimate statistics;

Look at the manuals for additional info on the above statements - you might
want to add a tablespace clause to the create index statement for
example.  The analyze command will provide Oracle with information about
the index so that it knows when to use or not use the index.

Finally, is the itemloc column a number or string column.  If it's a number
column then don't wrap quotes around the supplied number - the implicit
datatype conversion can cause Oracle to ignore the index.

Regards,
  Mark.

Hi!

How can I see how many fields of a table have indexes?

I am trying to do an update but is too slow, so what I am trying to find is
the way to uses an index that can help to do this update  more quickly.
This is the query example:

Update ITEMLOC
SET AVERAGE_COST=5.5

I will like to find the way to set and index that have the item filed
include to do this update quicker. Right now it takes like 30 seconds per

2003-06-24 Thread Tanel Poder



Hi!

If you are new to Oracle, it might be easier to use 
DBA studio (which usually comes with Oracle) or other GUI tool such is Toad (http://www.toadsoft.com/).

But if you want to learn how things really work, 
then open up sqlplus and start experimenting with data dictionary 
views:

select table_name, index_name, column_name, 
column_position from user_ind_columnswhere table_name = 
'your_table_name'order by 1, 3, 4

Note that your table name will likely be upper case 
even though you created it with lower case name. The column_position column 
shows you in which order are the columns in composite indexes.

Oracle 9.2 RAC on Win2K?

2003-06-24 Thread Branimir Petrovic
I need help with clearing up one conceptual issue:

My understanding is that with Oracle RAC one set of physical database
files sitting in the middle - shared storage are being accessed by 
multiple Oracle instances running on multiple physical servers (nodes). 
All instances attacking (sharing) the very same set of data files at 
the same time. Right or wrong?

Provided the answer on the above question happens to be yes - I'd like 
to ask  List Folks how feasible is to assemble and successfully (smoothly?)
run 0.5-1 TB database, use Oracle RAC and high performance shared storage 
(say SAN) served (pumped) by a number of Windows 2K servers? 

The number of Win2K servers I have on mind is at least 4 beefy (as 
beefy as it gets in Windows wrld) Win2K boxes each running Win2K AS
with lots of RAM and at least 4 CPUs, with perspective of adding more
later. 

It would be nice (for me) to know if new nodes can be added to the 
cluster at any later time to improve performance (in order to deal 
with increase in usage or to accomodate growth over period of time). 

It would be very nice to know if number of nodes is or is not limited 
(otherwise than by raw I/O capabilities of the shared storage).

Has anyone seen/run/stumbled over similar beast, if so - does it fly
or it stinks? 

Thanks (for any help, hints, links, etc.),

Branimir

P.S.

I've looked at number of metalink articles and found none yet to 
scratch this specific itch of mine. 

Oracle RAC on Win2K is for some bizarre reason REQUIREMENT.

Re: oracle authentication from windows

2003-06-24 Thread Arup Nanda
Gilles,

Here is a lowdown on the security aspects related to the OS authentication.

(1) The use of remote_os_authent is false, then it simply means that users
from another machine can't log in using OPS$ accounts. Needless to say, this
reduces the security and must be weighed a bit more carefully than usual.

(2)  Should you ever have accounts externally identified? I would say, yes,
as long as you know the privileges are not sweeping. For instance, you
definitely don't want to give DBA privs to an externally identifiable user.

(3) Having said that, the next question is - should you leave the value of
os_authent_prefix at NULL (). I say absolutely not. Here is the probelm
with an externally idefoaable user with os_authent_prefix set to null. A
user OPS$SCOTT identified externally is no the same as SCOTT, if the
os_authent_prefix is set to OPS$. If that parameter is null, then database
user SCOTT is the same as the OS user SCOTT. If someone creates a user in
the OS called system and os_authent_prefix  is null, what is the database
user it connects to? SYSTEM Would you want that? Of couse not. That is
why you never, ever, want to set the os_authent_prefix to null. Always set
it to a value. You may have a different value such as UNSAFE$, if you wish,
to fool the hackers.

(4) Thank you for the example. I guess I was not very clear on that issue. I
think the original question from Bulbul was how to prevent the OPS$ useers
from connecting to the database using user id, isn't that so, Bulbul? The
solution is rather simple. Just use either of the two forms of the command
create user OPS$SCOTT identified externally or create user SCOTT
identified by tiger, not create user OPS$SCOTT identified by tiger. And
always set your os_authent_prefix to OPS$ or some non-null value. This way
the accounts will be authenticated in only one way, not both.

Another trick I use to foll th ehackers using the brute force attack is to
use the construct

alter user ops$scott identified by values 'somestringinascii'

Since the password is hashed and digestedm this will not match any password
and therefore will not correspond to a value.

By the way, Gilles, the connection will work fine with the userid as a
parameter to the sqlplus command. Are you using unix? If so, use

sqlplus ops\$arup/nanda (note the backslash before the $ sign)

instead of

sqlplus ops$arup/nanda

$ sign being a unix special character may have confused sqlplus, thinking
$arup/nanda being an environmental variable.

HTH.

 Hi Arup,

 At 21:59 21/06/2003 -0800, you wrote:
 Snip...

 An OS user called scott will be able to connect as the database user
 OPS$SCOTT, not SCOTT - a big difference. This is why the
os_authent_prefix
 parameter is so important to set; don't leave it as null. If it is null,
 then the OS user scott can connect to database user scott.
 
 Maybe I miss the obvious..
 Considering remote_os_authent=false, why for LOCAL connections
 os_authent_prefix='' is inherently less secure than os_authent_prefix=OPS$
 or whatever string you choose.
 In each case, the prerequisite is to create the user identified
externally
 (that's where you MUST be cautious)
 But if scott is created with a password (i.e create user scott identified
 by tiger)
 then no OS user scott can log on whatever the os_authent_prefix is.
 At least that's how I understand the feature.
 Can you please elaborate on the security issue ?

  Any ideas how to restrict the externally identified users so that they
  have to log in to the database server to access their oracle schemas.?
 
 Well, they are mutually exclusive. A user is authenticated by either the
 database or externally, not both. So if you create user scott identified
 externally, you are allowing him to bypass database authentication. If
you
 don't want that, then you would create user SCOTT identified by a
password.
 
 In fact if os_authent_prefix=OPS$ and ONLY in this case,
 you can still do this (it's inherited from V6 days but still working
 with Oracle 9i R2) :

 create user ops$arup identified by nanda;
 grant create session to ops$arup;
 And know you can either connect with
 sqlplus /
 or
 sqlplus /nolog
 connect ops$arup/nanda
 or
 sqlplus /nolog
 connect ops$arup
 password  : nanda

 Although it doesn't work directly from the command line
 like  sqlplus ops$arup/nanda
 or sqlplus ops$arup
 password : nanda
 (But works again after you get
  Enter username for a 2nd try)

processes showed very little CPU usage.Yet the following morning 
they had increased their CPU usage to about 5% each and SMON 
was normal. I easily identified the problem then , killed the queries, 
bollocked the vendor, and all is normal again.

with lots of RAM and at least 4 CPUs, with perspective of adding more

The company that I work for (Oxford Health Plans, http://www.oxhp.com) has 
several OPS configurations, one of which has 4 HP 9000/N nodes with 
hyperfabric (CLIC) interface. Unfortunately, we're running HP-UX, not Win2k.
Theoretically speaking, having a windoze cluster is possible, although the 
reputation of Win2k, especially when it comes to the stability, isn't the one 
that I would like for a fault tolerant and stable system. Fault tolerance and 
stability are the primary reasons for considering RAC.


It would be nice (for me) to know if new nodes can be added to the
cluster at any later time to improve performance (in order to deal
with increase in usage or to accomodate growth over period of time).
Performance of a clustered database is not bound by the CPU power alone, IO 
throughput is much more important and limiting factor then sheer CPU speed.
If you want performance, my advice is to go with a bigger box. Having in mind 
the price of SAN and RAC licenses, you'll be much better of with one 16 CPU 
machine then with a cluster of 4  machines with 4 CPUs each. To answer your 
question, yes, nodes can be added at later stage.
It would be very nice to know if number of nodes is or is not limited
(otherwise than by raw I/O capabilities of the shared storage).
I believe that the limit for windoze is 8 machines per cluster. With Unix, I 
believe that the limit is 128.

Has anyone seen/run/stumbled over similar beast, if so - does it fly
or it stinks?
Depends on the application system. RAC is a bit more tolerant, but you still 
want to minimize the block exchange between the nodes. Application system must 
be functionally partitioned, meaning that related data should be accessed 
from the same node. Example: let's imagine that we have health care 
application system which has elements like members/groups/providers, claims 
and drug utilization/ 3rd party vendors. Each of the listed groups is a 
complex application system accessing several hundreds of related tables. Good 
thing would be to put each of the listed application groups on its own node 
with the 4th node reserved for batch processing. If block exchange is frequent 
and DLM has a lot of work to do, then flying means free falling until you 
hit the ground.

single, 16-CPU IBM P690 with the latest 960 CPUs and AIX 5.2. You can 
benchmark price and performance. I'd be very intrigued to find out the 
outcome. It is very hard to predict it properly (wink, wink).
