RE: Implementing different document types with different attribut
Attributes for documents?

If I were designing something, I would look for common attributes among all the documents to see if they can be contained within the same table. There would be one column within that table that would indicate what type of document it is. The other way to go would be to create one table for each type of document. Lets say we are talking about Word, PDF and HTML documents. You could create one table for each type of document, and store whatever info you need in each table. I think we all are guessing in the dark here. We need more info from you to be able to help you.

RE: Consolidating Servers
Title: RE: Consolidating Servers David, Can you create the clone from a production backup as a standby database? Then when it's time to switch over, just apply the last few archive logs from production, turn the clone on, and test. This way you can do most of the cloning at your convenience. We did this when we were moving database storage from the east coast to the west.

We have to consolidate down from about 5 servers to 2 (Prod. and Test/Dev.). My approach is to just move (clone) the DBs first. That's a job in itself, considering that the production DBs need to be moved during weekend hours. Leave original DB on original server just in case something fails. Take a cold backup, move files to new server, rebuild control file from trace to create clone. Point apps at clone and test. If all is well, archive original DB to tape for a month or two to be safe. By the way, this required me to install 4 versions of Oracle (8.1.7 to 9.2.0.3) in 4 Oracle Homes on the new Production server. Upgrading all to 9iR2 is another project. Best regards, David B.

RAC DBCA hangs while creating cluster database
Hi Listers, I am trying to set up a two-node RAC on Windows 2000 Advanced Server on Proliant DL 580 Servers. I am following the metalink document 178882.1 and Harrison B. Redhouse’s document DIY Multi-Node RAC on a single Windows PC downloaded from www.oaktable.net. I am having two separate nodes and hence there was no need to use VMvare to simulate two nodes as mentioned in Harrison B. Redhouse’s document. I ran through all the steps as mentioned in both the documents. But when I am using DBCA to install cluster database on the first node I am getting the following error when I click FINISH button: The filepath S:\Oradata\CLUST\CWMLITE01.DBF is invalid. Please check the permissions. I have stopped and restarted the GSD service. I have also installed the Oracle 9.2.0.3 patch and created the listener successfully. I am trying to install the cluster database through the command Dbca –datafiledestination S:\oradata. I am able to see the shared disk from both the disk manager and Windows explorer. I am really stuck up with this problem. Any pointers as to what am I missing would be highly appreciated. Looking forward to hear from any of you soon. Thanks and Regards, Ranganath MailFiler [RK-7ARFH54]

The reason I mention the E12k and HP Superdome was that the equipment is already available. All I need is to purchase additional CPUS. I am trying to enquire as to what people have commissioned with 10TB database using RAC vs single large boxes. If you read some of the postings about RAC on Solaris, there are lots of issues with it. How true one of these that said that you do not get the scalability after 2 nodes and on the 4th node it degrades to about below 50%.

Re: Event 10235
Hi! This event is meant for detectiong heap corruptions, by doing additional checks when allocating/deallocating memory. (It affects heap manager). When set on level 2 it does some check of heap structure when freeing it (level 1) + when allocating/deallocating memory in heap, the memory is filled with junk (level 2). I assume it's because, when you have complete junk in your heap (not some leftover from other session) you'll more likely have a crash in case of some mispointing pointer, thus detecting problems earlier. So, it's for diagnostics, and you should remove it, especially when on decent Oracle version.

RE: License Question
Harvinder, You should call you Oracle sales rep. All pricing is negotiable depending on whether it is end-of-quarter, how close mars is in alignment with earth,etc. Also, always try to negotiate education credits,etc. I have found end-of-quarter is best, they all like that trip to Hawaii...seen it too many times.

RE: Capacity Planning Methods?
I also grab freespace from dba_free_space, dump it into a table, and watch the deltas there, too. It helps for watching less predictable object growth, like perhaps with an index. Although my procedure is tablespace-oriented, so it won't give detail as to exactly what's doing all the growing. If you'd like, I could post the smallish 68-line procedure and the table create that I use to do this. There are perhaps better ways of doin g this, but it works for me in 8.1.7 on dictionary managed tablespaces.

TNS errors

Re: 100 instances on same server !!!

Thanks for the replies so far. Considering the fact that my database is tiny ( just around 3 GB ), How many of them can work on same server? I can just test with 5 instances, with limited hardware. Will the CPUs be able to take load of 100 instances? Is it worth experimenting this? I am on 8.1.7.4 and the application is already built. I stand no chance of changing the code. That is why using individual schemas for individual users is not an option. Right now I am just asked if 100 instances can run on same server and I dont have solid answer. Just on side note, can I ask, What is the maximum number of instances anyone has ever worked/heard being installed with in same server? Thanks again.

RE: Merge patches
As a general rule, one off patches are applied only at the direct request >From oracle support. If you need a silver bullet (merge patch), you have to ask for that. If not, wait for the next patchset.

I think most of people here have applied several one-off patches successfully, at least I have. But the issue is, as the name says, the one-off patches are only for fixing a certain bit of behaviour, they havent been tested in heavy-loaded envrionments where they could affect each other. But eventually these one-offs make their way to patchsets, which are stress tested for reliability. So, you are on your own risk when going with multiple one-offs, but in my experience it has worked. Others may have different experience, though..
