Hi Paul,

The long one includes a discussion on why you should generally coalesce
rather than rebuild indexes ;)

 Hi all:
 
 I'm trying to catch a DDL generated by Crystal report.
 I'm using the following query to do that:
 select  sql_text
   from v$sqltext
 where ( address, hash_value ) in
   (select sql_address, sql_hash_value
  from v$session
where username = UPPER('username'))
   order by piece
 I am catching a SQL, but that SQL returns different
 amount of rows than the report when executed through a
 Crystal. Is there something wrong with my query (it is
 running under Oracle 817) that makes it miss some
 data? 
 
 thanks

 We are using Novell eDirectory as our LDAP.

 I looked on Metalink but did not find much thing. The way I understand it
is that you must load the LDAP info into Oracle Internet Directory.

 Am I right ?

 Anybody using Novell eDirectory integrated with Oracle ?

Oracle Client (9.2.0.4)

2003-12-09 Thread Anders Bengtsson
Hi,

I find the information concerning upgrading to Oracle 9.2.0.4 on the server
and upgrading to ODP.NET 9.2.0.4.01 on the client a little confusing. Se
readme for patchset nr 3262475

The upgrade on the server to  9.2.0.4 is ok and the upgrade on the client is
no problem. But should you install the ODP.NET also on the server or is this
only a client install?

Furthermore, Does Oracle Client (9.2.0.4) exists? The ODP.NET 9.2.0.4.01
includes only Oracle Client 9.2.0.1 and I can't find 9.2.0.4 anywhere. It is
mentioned but I can't find It.

I would be delighted if someone could explain to me how this installations
should be done. We have a Windows Plattform, both on the server and the
client.


Regards

Anders Bengtsson

Hi list

Some people where interested in feedback regarding the usage of OpenLDAP
instead of OID or Names to resolve TNS strings. Seems to work ;). Here is
what to do:

Prerequisite: I used openldap-2.0.23 instead of 2.1, since I had to use
CygWin to test it locally on my laptop.

Bill of materials:

CygWin http://www.cygwin.com, I used the latest version, 1.5.2-1test

Oracle Client, version = 8.1.6.x 

OID LDIFS, can be taken from $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/admin, if the OID option is
installed, or from 
Oracle Disks:
Disk3\stage\Components\oracle.oid.server\9.2.0.1.0\1\DataFiles\admin.1.1.jar

HowTo: http://home.nc.rr.com/jtlayton/oid2openldap.html

Simply follow the howto to get openldap running and include the OID schemas.

Then, create an ldap.ora under $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin, which looks like
this:

DIRECTORY_SERVERS=localhost:389
DIRECTORY_SERVER_TYPE=oid DEFAULT_ADMIN_CONTEXT=cn=Manager,dc=world

. and change sqlnet.ora to contain:

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP)

Finished, enjoy.

Vladimir,

Nice solution!  I had first briefly considered a SQL solution, but it didn't
immediately come to mind, and the PL/SQL recursive solution was pretty
straightforward, so, I went that direction.  I wasn't really too concerned
about expense, in this case;-)  I don't see too many practical
applications. ;-)

Interesting. PL/SQL recursive solutions are expensive, though. :)
Did not check it, maybe something alike was posted already...

SET VERIFY OFF PAGES 200

DEFINE big_table=all_objects

Should work correctly.

  rest are undocumented parameters.

RE: OS calls with java stored procedures

2003-12-09 Thread John Flack
I'm working from memory here, but there is a procedure in a built-in package, I think 
it is DBMS_JAVA, that redirects standard output from a Java Stored Procedure to the 
same buffer that DBMS_OUTPUT uses.  You call this procedure, then your Java method, 
and then you can SET SERVEROUTPUT ON to see the output in SQL*Plus or you can read it 
with DBMS_OUTPUT.GET and DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINE.

Antw: Re: Re: Oracle and Novell eDirectory LDAP

2003-12-09 Thread Markus Reger
what we have is an novell ldap with jave plugins used by oracle IAS to authenticate 
users. we started once with OID but stayed then with novell. check it for yourself - 
http://mdwis.mdw.ac.at/ - we had to run a config script that allows us to use the 
novell ldap instead of OID. I don't know this config script by heart. 

later on I wrote a separate authentication routine to identify against novall ldap. 
but we decided not to use it since we found a configuration that did the job for us.

hope this helps. further details must be dug out - if allowed to disclose.

  We are in the preliminary analysis of implementing an assurance package
 (Sunguard's Compass) based on Oracle (Oracle 9.2.04, Oracle 9iAS Web

  We are using Novell eDirectory as our LDAP.
 
  I looked on Metalink but did not find much thing. The way I understand
it
 is that you must load the LDAP info into Oracle Internet Directory.
 
  Am I right ?

I shutdown the 8.1.7 database, copied network and init files - then run

I get 
ORA-12545:  Connect failed because target host or object does not exist.

What target host - what object

I had to change domain name and set ORA_NLS33 if that matters??

I can't find anything on Metastink that seems relevant although a great deal

Hi list

Some people where interested in feedback regarding the usage of OpenLDAP
instead of OID or Names to resolve TNS strings. Seems to work ;). Here is
what to do:

Prerequisite: I used openldap-2.0.23 instead of 2.1, since I had to use
CygWin to test it locally on my laptop.

Bill of materials:

CygWin http://www.cygwin.com, I used the latest version, 1.5.2-1test

Oracle Client, version = 8.1.6.x 

OID LDIFS, can be taken from $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/admin, if the OID option is
installed, or from 
Oracle Disks:
Disk3\stage\Components\oracle.oid.server\9.2.0.1.0\1\DataFiles\admin.1.1.jar

HowTo: http://home.nc.rr.com/jtlayton/oid2openldap.html 

Simply follow the howto to get openldap running and include the OID 
schemas.

Then, create an ldap.ora under $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin, which looks 
like
this:

DIRECTORY_SERVERS=localhost:389
DIRECTORY_SERVER_TYPE=oid DEFAULT_ADMIN_CONTEXT=cn=Manager,dc=world

. and change sqlnet.ora to contain:

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP)

Finished, enjoy.

Hi list

Some people where interested in feedback regarding the usage of OpenLDAP
instead of OID or Names to resolve TNS strings. Seems to work ;). Here
is
what to do:

Prerequisite: I used openldap-2.0.23 instead of 2.1, since I had to use
CygWin to test it locally on my laptop.

Bill of materials:

CygWin http://www.cygwin.com, I used the latest version, 1.5.2-1test

Oracle Client, version = 8.1.6.x 

OID LDIFS, can be taken from $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/admin, if the OID option
is
installed, or from 
Oracle Disks:
Disk3\stage\Components\oracle.oid.server\9.2.0.1.0\1\DataFiles\admin.1.1
.jar

HowTo: http://home.nc.rr.com/jtlayton/oid2openldap.html

Simply follow the howto to get openldap running and include the OID
schemas.

Then, create an ldap.ora under $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin, which looks
like
this:

DIRECTORY_SERVERS=localhost:389
DIRECTORY_SERVER_TYPE=oid DEFAULT_ADMIN_CONTEXT=cn=Manager,dc=world

.. and change sqlnet.ora to contain:

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP)

Finished, enjoy.
Stefan

2003-12-09 Thread Mladen Gogala
I believe that we should start using Postgres or MySQL, not to infringe on
oracle secrets. After all, those secrets must be mighty precious when they're
protecting them from their own customers. I believe that the whole thing is about
giving consultants time to master oracle 10 before releasing it, and then start
exerting pressure to migrate, so the chosen few will skim some dough. 
This is a radical departure from oracle behavior until now, where the software 
was available for testing and learning long before it was suitable for production.
This relative openmindedness of the Oracle Corp. was one of the reasons that Oracle
has become so popular.  Some bright marketing talent decided it should change and 
I really do not intend to go with the flow. Fortunately, there are other databases
and oracle's behavior is motivating me to start giving them serious considerations.
If nobody was using oracle, their secrets would be perfectly safe.

what we have is an novell ldap with jave plugins used by oracle IAS to
authenticate users. we started once with OID but stayed then with novell.
check it for yourself - http://mdwis.mdw.ac.at/ - we had to run a config
script that allows us to use the novell ldap instead of OID. I don't know
this config script by heart. 

later on I wrote a separate authentication routine to identify against
novall ldap. but we decided not to use it since we found a configuration
that did the job for us.

hope this helps. further details must be dug out - if allowed to disclose.

 IIRC Oracle is going to support only OID as LDAP.
 You need to set up OID and use a product like DIRXML to propagate updates
 from Novell to OID.

  Hi,
 
  We are in the preliminary analysis of implementing an assurance package
 (Sunguard's Compass) based on Oracle (Oracle 9.2.04, Oracle 9iAS Web
 Services and Forms on AIX 5.2).
 
  We are using Novell eDirectory as our LDAP.
 
  I looked on Metalink but did not find much thing. The way I understand
it
 is that you must load the LDAP info into Oracle Internet Directory.
 
  Am I right ?
 
  Anybody using Novell eDirectory integrated with Oracle ?

We had some issues here with OpenLDAP.  So we went with SunOne instead,

RE: A brief detour....;-)

2003-12-09 Thread Karniotis, Stephen
Hate to say this but you are a bit late.  I had my students at University
and here at Compuware create three to four different versions of the Tower's
of Hanoi solution in PL/SQL.  Used PL/SQL tables, stack processing,
recursion (yes it can be done), and others.  I also had (yep had - lost
this) one for both PL/I and TSO/CLIST Dialog Manager  VMS DCL.  I actually
created screens where you could dynamically choose the number of pegs and
pieces.  It also verified that you were putting smaller pieces on top of
larger ones (one of the core rules for Tof H).  

Isn't programming great?

over 100 different implementations of the Towers of Hanoi solution, each in
a different language.  Since he didn't have one in PL/SQL, I decided to

Here it is:

On Partitions

2003-12-09 Thread mkline1
We have a data warehouse around 850gb.

I have a question on procedure.

We only keep 2 months data in several groupings by month, with 3 months ready..

So, say Nov is in M1 and Dec is in M2.

At the end of December, we will create an empty January which will go back into M1 and 
we will be tuncating and dropping November.

Question, we can hold empty months, so we could split the empty partitions early?

Now when it comes time to split the December partition and create the slot for 
January in M1,  will that clobber the statistics in the December partition and will 
they need to be created again?

Would there be anything to gain by creating January in M1 when December in M2 is empty?

We are fortunate that the loads are one big load, then analyze like December when 
the time comes. Then there should be no more activity except reading. So once loaded 
and we analyze the partition for December, and if we had ALREADY split out January 
BEFORE that loading, do the stats stay consistent for the December partition and it 
does NOT have to analyzed once again? Or since we split out January and this split 
cause no records to leave the December partition because they have not been loaded 
yet, is this nothing to worry about?

Thanks.

  Hi list
  
  Some people where interested in feedback regarding the usage of OpenLDAP
  instead of OID or Names to resolve TNS strings. Seems to work ;). Here
  is
  what to do:
  
  Prerequisite: I used openldap-2.0.23 instead of 2.1, since I had to use
  CygWin to test it locally on my laptop.
  
  Bill of materials:
  
  CygWin http://www.cygwin.com, I used the latest version, 1.5.2-1test
  
  Oracle Client, version = 8.1.6.x 
  
  OID LDIFS, can be taken from $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/admin, if the OID option
  is
  installed, or from 
  Oracle Disks:
  Disk3\stage\Components\oracle.oid.server\9.2.0.1.0\1\DataFiles\admin.1.1
  .jar
  
  HowTo: http://home.nc.rr.com/jtlayton/oid2openldap.html
  
  Simply follow the howto to get openldap running and include the OID
  schemas.
  
  Then, create an ldap.ora under $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin, which looks
  like
  this:
  
  DIRECTORY_SERVERS=localhost:389
  DIRECTORY_SERVER_TYPE=oid DEFAULT_ADMIN_CONTEXT=cn=Manager,dc=world
  
  .. and change sqlnet.ora to contain:
  
  NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP)
  
  Finished, enjoy.

constraint is blocking this.

Any advice is appreciated



SQL drop snapshot deca.mediums;

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-02449: unique/primary

no rows selected



I get the samen
results when dropping as owner and as sys

NO - not instead of tnsnames.ora. We stuck to the tnsnames.ora files.
We had it once, but this was rather tricky to get it working at that time. 
Especially the uploading of certificates thet we made ourselves  ... 
- but we had already a solution to update the OID on a daily/hourly basis for user 
authentication. 

We then decided not to use/need it, because we only need IAS authentication for users 
who have an NOVELL account - about thousand people like employees, students, 
parttimers...  

MS AD: 
we don't have it. 
may I propose: you need an interface or procedure - possibly java or even c. 
Then configure ORACLE to use this procedure, and update e.g. on an hourly basis.
You must make up your mind who (MS or OID) administers - esp  changes - passwords.

what we have is an novell ldap with jave plugins used by oracle IAS to
authenticate users. we started once with OID but stayed then with novell.
check it for yourself - http://mdwis.mdw.ac.at/ - we had to run a config
script that allows us to use the novell ldap instead of OID. I don't know
this config script by heart. 

later on I wrote a separate authentication routine to identify against
novall ldap. but we decided not to use it since we found a configuration
that did the job for us.

hope this helps. further details must be dug out - if allowed to disclose.

  Hi,
 
  We are in the preliminary analysis of implementing an assurance package
 (Sunguard's Compass) based on Oracle (Oracle 9.2.04, Oracle 9iAS Web
 Services and Forms on AIX 5.2).
 
  We are using Novell eDirectory as our LDAP.
 
  I looked on Metalink but did not find much thing. The way I understand
it
 is that you must load the LDAP info into Oracle Internet Directory.
 
  Am I right ?

Markus - Thanks for your ideas. Basically our issue isn't Oracle logins, but
Oracle connections (replacing tnsnames.ora). For us, the user doesn't
directly log into Oracle, but the application handles the login for them.
However, I was searching for an alternative to maintaining tnsnames.ora on
each client. I considered the Oracle Names server, but Oracle has announced
this is going away in favor of OID. But my network guys favor MS AD.

Please try this

select table_name, constraint_name from all_constraints
 where r_constraint_name in
 ( select constraint_name from all_constraints
 where table_name = 'MEDIUMS')

it should give you the table_name constraint names that are not
allowing you to drop your table.

You will have to disable these constraints before dropping your table
mediums.

Re: dc_used_extents ,dc_free_extents and dc_histogram_defs

2003-12-09 Thread Mladen Gogala
There was an announcement on the OTN, but nobody replied to email. 
When reading this list, I get impression that quite a few people 
were able to get the software so far and that the shroud of secrecy
over the whole thing is maintained in order for them to gain advantage
over the rest of customers. Anyway, Christmas is almost here. When do
the rest us, not so important customers, get to see 10g? Speaking of
Mogens, I believe that he has 10g. 
Whatever the intention was, it was a marketing blunder. As a customer, I'm
less then happy with the impossibility of getting to know 10g despite the
multitude of materials posted about it. I even tried to get 10g CDs from
my oracle sales rep. but the guy conveniently forgets everything about it
whenever he talks to me. Who knows, may be after reading this the marketing
guys decide to put out a limited production version? Prolonging the hype
would not serve any useful purpose, except may  be, to further annoy your
customers.

 Generally, the announcements are made at events like OracleWorld,

 the release, the program may not even get announced unless it's big

 of customers and wasn't announced to the world at large, whereas the 10g
 program was announced (again IIRC - it's 4 am for me and I haven't had
 my first coffee yet!) at OracleWorld in San Fran in September?  Of
 course, there are some companies that are almost always invited to join
 the beta program for the database because of the type of customer they
 are and the type of work they do - customers like Amazon, for example,
 may fall into that category.  Customers like Mogens definitely don't.

 Larry Ellison has publicly stated that his goal is to produce a database
 with 
 less then 100 tunable parameters. Allegedly, he came rather close with
 10g.
 As far as 10g is concerned, I'm rather disappointed with the marketing
 hype 
 being created with oracle not making an early version available. I don't
 plan
 on migrating to 10g until I learn it well and if some oracle sales guy
 tries to exert pressure on me to migrate, he will get a very stable sign
 used by English archers after the battle at Agincourt to signify that
 they 
 still have all the fingers needed to operate a longbow. I've had my fill

Re: rebuilding indexes - sure to cause a ruckus

2003-12-09 Thread Yong Huang
Thanks, Richard. I'll read your long message more carefully later. I like your
statement that rebuilding an index or not is not rocket science. One needs to
measure the performance before and after the rebuild and make a conclusion
himself. Many times we discuss performance issues and get very technical and
sophisticated, without showing experimental results! Having been a science
researcher before, I'd like to emphasize that facts speak louder than theories.
There may be 10,000 24x7 databases in the world that don't easily allow even
testing an index rebuild. But there may be 100 times more production databases
in the world that are not 24x7. The individual DBA needs to do his control
study and conclude, using experts' opinions as reference.

RE: dc_used_extents ,dc_free_extents and dc_histogram_defs

2003-12-09 Thread Pete Sharman
Well, as you'd suspect I don't have any control over these sorts of
decisions!

I didn't actually see the announcement on OTN, so I'm not sure who the
email would have gone to.  There was a way Oracle employees could invite
customers to be part of the beta program, sp presumably your sales rep
didn't think you were important enough to be on the program.  ;)

Seriously, before Jared tells us to take this conversation offline, let
me make a couple of final points on this:

1.  From Oracle's perspective, the beta program is an enormous amount of
work, and requires a lot of ongoing management of the customers
involved.  For that reason, the beta program is not really designed to
be open to everyone.

2.  If you think you really have a valid interest in being on the beta
program for future releases and are prepared to put in the work that's
involved with the beta program (logging bugs, testing new functionality
and so on), let me know and I can send you information on how to join
future beta programs as they occur.  Since the beta proposals are
actually voted on, a compelling case will help with actually getting on
the beta program.

3.  If you are simply interested in playing with the new features,
rather than seriously stress testing them, then I probably can't help
you.  Decisions on early adopter sorts of programs that are set up to
handle people who want to play are beyond my level at Oracle.

As for Mogens, I know he's on the beta program.  I got him there, along
with a few of the other Oakies.  It was a suggestion I came up with
because if we can get people like Mogens, Cary, Jonathan and Steve (who
are the four I suggested to Development) to say what a wonderful product
10g is, then that's a really telling statement.  I'm not sure that any
of them have said it yet, though!  :)

When reading this list, I get impression that quite a few people 
were able to get the software so far and that the shroud of secrecy
over the whole thing is maintained in order for them to gain advantage
over the rest of customers. Anyway, Christmas is almost here. When do
the rest us, not so important customers, get to see 10g? Speaking of
Mogens, I believe that he has 10g. 
Whatever the intention was, it was a marketing blunder. As a customer,
I'm
less then happy with the impossibility of getting to know 10g despite
the
multitude of materials posted about it. I even tried to get 10g CDs from
my oracle sales rep. but the guy conveniently forgets everything about
it
whenever he talks to me. Who knows, may be after reading this the
marketing
guys decide to put out a limited production version? Prolonging the hype

RE: PERL?

2003-12-09 Thread Yong Huang
I don't think any UNIX shell has some package or module written for any
database. So the only way to talk to Oracle is using shell as a wrapper around
sqlplus (or any application you developed). In sqlplus, you can use bind
variables easily. In this sense, we can say shell does allow you to use bind
variables.

Speaking of Perl versus shell, Perl may still be quite primitive in supporting
two-way communication with an external program e.g. sqlplus. (I have an example
at www.stormloader.com/yonghuang/computer/OracleAndPerl.html#2waytosqlplus
using IPC::Open2). But I think a KornShell coprocess (not a here document) does
it nicely, i.e. piping a SQL command in and reading the result back, piping
another command in, reading again, without exiting your sqlplus session. If you
use Perl DBI (or the old OraPerl), Jared may know this but I'm not sure if you
can send any arbitary SQL command such as explain plan, shutdown... and read
its output.

Yong Huang

 One BIG advantage of Perl is DBI. Via shell you can't use bind variables
 which sometimes come in handy. An admin dweeb here developed a

Re: Oracle Data Guard

2003-12-09 Thread Yong Huang
Jumbo frames are new to me. The Ethernet Definitive Guide book says it was
proposed by one vendor and adopted by several, so may not have good
interoperability. But I wonder how much performance improvement there is by
going from MTU 1500 with SDU 8k to MTU 8k with SDU 8k. I assume the lower the
OSI level, the faster assembling and disassembling those protocol data units is
done.

Yong Huang

 With TCP over standard ethernet the maximum transfer unit (MTU) is about
 1500 bytes, this means if you want to send 2000 bytes over network, you have
 to fragment it in 2 packets and send them separately. This means double
 packet headers, double latency etc. Jumbo frames is a capability of some
 Gbit ethernet cards which allow them to transfer about 9000 bytes in a
 single packet. SDU is session level transfer unit (session data unit). When
 you enable jumbo frames and set MTU/SDU to 8192 for example, you'll fit much
 more in single packet, thus increasing performance for larger transactions.

Re: sequences and cursors

2003-12-09 Thread Mladen Gogala
What tool are you using? HAve you considered putting select from the
sequence in an explicit cursor, open it, fetch it and close it again?
What Have in mind is something like this:

declare
cursor csr is
select sai.nextval from dual;
num integer :=0;
ind integer :=10;
begin
while (ind=0) loop
open csr;
fetch csr into num;
close csr;
dbms_output.put_line('Sai is:'||num);
ind:=ind-1;
end loop;
end;
/


Here is the output:

Sai is:14
Sai is:15
Sai is:16
Sai is:17
Sai is:18
Sai is:19
Sai is:20

 like
 LCR(logical Change Request) is based on Primary

 Because LSB 'reverse engineers' SQL from the redolog
 info, it needs to get 
 hold of the right rows. The rows get
 inserted/updated/deleted, and _a_ 
 unique identification, not being the rowid, is
 required. So, every row 
 needs to be uniquely identified.
 
 
 
 Have you implemnented LSB successfully?
 
 Yes, using a PSB / LSB combination for standby and

   Hi  Tanel,
   
   
   Much appreciated, The fact is I am interested

   Logical standby rather than physical.
   
  Our 30-50% of our Production data needs to
 be
   replicated to another database and where they
 will
   have their processing and batches.
  
   It all depends on the amount of redolog you
   generate. When that's pretty
   much, you waste some resources by transporting
   online/archived redologs you
   actually don't need.
  
  
 Now We didn't go to Snapshot because It is on
   multiple  tables (where we didnot have PK's and
   many
   tables) and due to performance issue I didn't
 want
   to
   use Snapshots (they did not want  any tables to
 be
   truncate before being loaded even via
 snapshots).
  
   So, they don't like nologging operations like
   truncate, not even on the
   standby database?
  
  
 The best option I think is Logical Standby
   Database.
   Or Can  you please suggest me any other means.
   
   Replication should be quicker like
 once
   in
   every 20 minutes, Even Transportable tablespacs
   does
   not work here since they need all tables to
 24*7.
  
   LSB might work, but do not consider the option
 of
   failing over to it. Be
   aware that, altough in maximum protection mode
 your
   redolog arrives at the
   SB system within the transaction, it doesn't get
   applied there instantly.
   SQL Application takes place _after_ the
 log-switch
   on the Primary. When you
   take 10 minutes of redolog, and perform a
 logswitch,
   the SQL Apply process
   might even take longer than 10 minutes to
 complete
   processing of the
   redologfile. There is a risk that not every
   transaction arrives within 20
   minutes at the LSB. So, your log-switching
 frequency
   and the amount of redo
   you generate per unit of time both play a major
 role
   in the refresh rate of
   the LSB.
  
   I'll send you the PDF of a DG Special I did in
 Kista
   a few months ago.

Jumbo frames are new to me. The Ethernet Definitive Guide book says it was
proposed by one vendor and adopted by several, so may not have good
interoperability. But I wonder how much performance improvement there is by
going from MTU 1500 with SDU 8k to MTU 8k with SDU 8k. I assume the lower
the
OSI level, the faster assembling and disassembling those protocol data units
is
done.

Yong Huang

 With TCP over standard ethernet the maximum transfer unit (MTU) is about
 1500 bytes, this means if you want to send 2000 bytes over network, you
have
 to fragment it in 2 packets and send them separately. This means double
 packet headers, double latency etc. Jumbo frames is a capability of some
 Gbit ethernet cards which allow them to transfer about 9000 bytes in a
 single packet. SDU is session level transfer unit (session data unit).
When
 you enable jumbo frames and set MTU/SDU to 8192 for example, you'll fit
much
 more in single packet, thus increasing performance for larger
transactions.

RE: PERL?

2003-12-09 Thread Daniel Hanks
On Tue, 9 Dec 2003, Yong Huang wrote:

 Speaking of Perl versus shell, Perl may still be quite primitive in supporting
 two-way communication with an external program e.g. sqlplus. (I have an example
 at www.stormloader.com/yonghuang/computer/OracleAndPerl.html#2waytosqlplus
 using IPC::Open2). But I think a KornShell coprocess (not a here document) does
 it nicely, i.e. piping a SQL command in and reading the result back, piping
 another command in, reading again, without exiting your sqlplus session. If you
 use Perl DBI (or the old OraPerl), Jared may know this but I'm not sure if you
 can send any arbitary SQL command such as explain plan, shutdown... and read
 its output.

I think Perl with Expect.pm could likely do this without much effort. Expect allows 
you to interact with just about anything that uses a terminal. One fun case comes to 
mind. We have this LED sign (think large rectangular array of LEDs), with an 
undocumented serial interface protocol. All that came with it to control it was this 
old DOS program which would talk to the sign over a serial port. So I whipped up a 
Perl script which used Expect to interact with dosemu (a Linux DOS emulator) to run 
the program, which interacted with the sign, all running on Linux. Works pretty good.

Expect.pm is also nice to interact with network hardware that offers telnet/shell 
command interfaces. Interacting with sqlplus via Expect.pm would be pretty easy as 
well, I would think. It basically works like this:

- Spawn the program you want to interact with
- Expect a particular regex of output from the spawned process
- Act based on that output (send commands, run processes, annoy the NT admin with net 
send packets, etc)
- Wash, rinse, repeat.

Re: Creating the Java System

2003-12-09 Thread Mladen Gogala
Well, if you cannot create or replace Java system, then you have a problem with
the data dictionary. The table that is returning too many records is, quite likely,
a SYS-owned table. You may beat me to the pulp but I still think that it will
probably be necessary to re-create your database. Migration migrates 8i data 
dictionary to 9i. It is a complicated process and I don't exactly know how it's done,
but I know this: if your data dictionary is foobar, you have to recreate the database
and use full import. Let me guess: you have quite a few gigabytes to export? 
Why beat me up because of that? Buy me a pizza, cholesterol will get me sooner or
later.

Re: Oracle Data Guard

2003-12-09 Thread Carel-Jan Engel


Hi Vi,
Rows NEED unique identification. So, if there are bunches of raw data
with no unique identifier whatsoever (remember, rowid is not allowed) LSB
can't generate a where-clause what row to update or delete on the SB
database. It's generating SQL based on redolog info, and has to come up
with an UPDATE table SET  WHERE unique id =
unique id. The unique id may be a multi-column key. There is an
escape. Enabling supplemental logging can add extra info to do the unique
identification, when no usable keys are available. This will cause some
extra logging to be generated, there ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
For detailed information read chapter 4.1.5  4.1.6 in the Oracle
Data Guard Concepts and Administration manual, part no.

Tell me one thing I agree that we some

 we
 should be smooth. Can you tell me is there any
 releation between LSB and Primary keys, I read 
 like
 LCR(logical Change Request) is based on Primary 
 keys
 as It does not depends on Transaction at that time.
 
 Because LSB 'reverse engineers' SQL from the redolog
 info, it needs to get 
 hold of the right rows. The rows get
 inserted/updated/deleted, and _a_ 
 unique identification, not being the rowid, is
 required. So, every row 
 needs to be uniquely identified.
 
 
 
 Have you implemnented LSB successfully?
 
 Yes, using a PSB / LSB combination for standby and
 reporting purposes 
 respectively.
 
 
 with many thanks,

   tables) and due to performance issue I didn't
 want
   to
   use Snapshots (they did not want any tables
to
 be
   truncate before being loaded even via
 snapshots).
  
   So, they don't like nologging operations like
   truncate, not even on the
   standby database?
  
  
The best option I think is Logical 
Standby
   Database.
   Or Can you please suggest me any other
means.
   
  

Replication should be quicker like
 once
   in
   every 20 minutes, Even Transportable tablespacs
   does
   not work here since they need all tables to
 24*7.
  
   LSB might work, but do not consider the option
 of
   failing over to it. Be
   aware that, altough in maximum protection mode
 your
   redolog arrives at the
   SB system within the transaction, it doesn't get
   applied there instantly.
   SQL Application takes place _after_ the
 log-switch
   on the Primary. When you
   take 10 minutes of redolog, and perform a
 logswitch,
   the SQL Apply process
   might even take longer than 10 minutes to
 complete
   processing of the
   redologfile. There is a risk that not every
   transaction arrives within 20
   minutes at the LSB. So, your log-switching
 frequency
   and the amount of redo
   you generate per unit of time both play a major
 role
   in the refresh rate of
   the LSB.

RE: PERL?

2003-12-09 Thread Jared . Still

All *SQL* commands will work work with the DBI.

'SHUTDOWN' is not a SQL command, it is a sqlplus command, and therefor will 
not work with the DBI.

This has been checked into, and Oracle does not make this functionality available
via OCI, so shutting down and starting a database on *nix requires sqlplus.

Here is one of the few instances where Win32 makes things easier than on *nix:
Oracle can be stopped and started via a service, which means you can easily
shut it down via the command line, and via the Win32 Perl module Win32::Service.

If you want in depth discussion on this check the archives for the dbi-users list.

I don't recall where the archives are, but the list is found at lists.perl.org.

I don't think any UNIX shell has some package or module written for any
database. So the only way to talk to Oracle is using shell as a wrapper around
sqlplus (or any application you developed). In sqlplus, you can use bind
variables easily. In this sense, we can say shell does allow you to use bind
variables.

Speaking of Perl versus shell, Perl may still be quite primitive in supporting
two-way communication with an external program e.g. sqlplus. (I have an example
at www.stormloader.com/yonghuang/computer/OracleAndPerl.html#2waytosqlplus
using IPC::Open2). But I think a KornShell coprocess (not a here document) does
it nicely, i.e. piping a SQL command in and reading the result back, piping
another command in, reading again, without exiting your sqlplus session. If you
use Perl DBI (or the old OraPerl), Jared may know this but I'm not sure if you
can send any arbitary SQL command such as explain plan, shutdown... and read
its output.

himself. Many times we discuss performance issues and get very technical and

There may be 10,000 24x7 databases in the world that don't easily allow even

RE: Oracle Client (9.2.0.4)

 Sent: Tuesday, 9 December 2003 23:24
 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L
 Subject: Oracle Client (9.2.0.4)
 
 
 Hi,
 
 I find the information concerning upgrading to Oracle 9.2.0.4 
 on the server
 and upgrading to ODP.NET 9.2.0.4.01 on the client a little 
 confusing. Se
 readme for patchset nr 3262475
 
 The upgrade on the server to  9.2.0.4 is ok and the upgrade 
 on the client is
 no problem. But should you install the ODP.NET also on the 
 server or is this
 only a client install?

It's a client side driver ... so unless your Oracle server is also running client code 
requiring ODP.Net, don't install it on the server.  If you do need to install it on 
the server, patch the server to 9.2.0.4 first!  If you don't, you'll have copious DLL 
version mismatches (with missing and invalid entry points), and nothing will start (no 
instances, nothing (except maybe a listener :-)).  Culprits include orageneric.dll, 
etc. (can you tell I made this mistake myself?).  Reinstalling 9.2.0.1 is the only 
option if you make this mistake (the databases themselves are fine - just a wasted 
afternoon watching the Oracle installer).

The 9.2.0.4 patch for the server is quite painless ... just takes a while to run 
catupgrade.sql (or whatever it was called).

 Furthermore, Does Oracle Client (9.2.0.4) exists? The ODP.NET 
 9.2.0.4.01
 includes only Oracle Client 9.2.0.1 and I can't find 9.2.0.4 
 anywhere. It is
 mentioned but I can't find It.

No, there's no 9.2.0.4 client patch for windows.  You can apply the ODP.Net provider 
directly to a 9.2.0.1 client - though it will prompt you to upgrade the installer to 
2.2.0.18 first (a painless exercise).

 I would be delighted if someone could explain to me how this 
 installations
 should be done. We have a Windows Plattform, both on the 
 server and the
 client.

Hope that helps, Anders.

Ciao
Fuzzy

Documenting databases

Recently our database manager has asked us to do the unthinkable
document our databases!  To make matters worse, and without our input, he
went ahead and created a schema and put it in an Access database (using
tables to make it look like a speadsheet).  Either we use his idea or come
up with something else.
So, I thought I'd ask everyone on the list how you do it.  Text files?
In a database (oracle, or other)?   Spreadsheets?  What are the pros and
cons?  Etc

 releation  between LSB and Primary keys, I read
 like
 LCR(logical Change Request) is based on Primary

 as It does not depends on Transaction at that time.

 Because LSB 'reverse engineers' SQL from the redolog
 info, it needs to get
 hold of the right rows. The rows get
 inserted/updated/deleted, and _a_
 unique identification, not being the rowid, is
 required. So, every row
 needs to be uniquely identified.



 Have you implemnented LSB successfully?

 Yes, using a PSB / LSB combination for standby and

 snapshots).
  
   So, they don't like nologging operations like
   truncate, not even on the
   standby database?
  
  
 The best option I think is Logical Standby
   Database.
   Or Can  you please suggest me any other means.
   
   Replication should be quicker like
 once
   in
   every 20 minutes, Even Transportable tablespacs
   does
   not work here since they need all tables to
 24*7.
  
   LSB might work, but do not consider the option
 of
   failing over to it. Be
   aware that, altough in maximum protection mode
 your
   redolog arrives at the
   SB system within the transaction, it doesn't get
   applied there instantly.
   SQL Application takes place _after_ the
 log-switch
   on the Primary. When you
   take 10 minutes of redolog, and perform a
 logswitch,
   the SQL Apply process
   might even take longer than 10 minutes to
 complete
   processing of the
   redologfile. There is a risk that not every
   transaction arrives within 20
   minutes at the LSB. So, your log-switching
 frequency
   and the amount of redo
   you generate per unit of time both play a major
 role
   in the refresh rate of
   the LSB.
  
   I'll send you the PDF of a DG Special I did in
 Kista
   a few months ago.

   Hi All,
 
  can any one let me know kindly the

  1) Has any one used the Oracle 9i Data
 Guard?

 Yes, physical standby and successfully.

  2) If yes then,  is there any performance
   impact
 on
  Target/Source server database.

 Your database has to be in archivelog mode,
 but
   when
 you are thinking such
 solutions as DG, then you probably are
 already
 running archivelog anyway.

 If you run in maximum protection or maximum
 availability, yes there is. The
 impact depends mainly on network connection
   between
 primary and standby(s)
 and the speed of redolog disks. You could
 tune
   these
 by using faster
 network, enabling jumbo frames and SDU size
 if
   using
 Gbit ethernet, also
 setting lgwr and log apply processes
 priority
   higher
 than others.

  3) any drawbacks using Data Guard.

I'm working from memory here, but there is a procedure in a built-in package, I think 
it is DBMS_JAVA, that redirects standard output from a Java Stored Procedure to the 
same buffer that DBMS_OUTPUT uses.  You call this procedure, then your Java method, 
and then you can SET SERVEROUTPUT ON to see the output in SQL*Plus or you can read it 
with DBMS_OUTPUT.GET and DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINE.

We 'echo' out values to standard out. is there anyway to catch this echo with a java

utl_file, but that makes it more complex. 

any other way to do this?

That's a good idea for documenting structures inside the database.
However, my database manager wants more high level info:  database name /

descriptions and times, main schemas and what they are used for, lists of
developers names that access the databse, etc...

 So, I thought I'd ask everyone on the list how you do it.  Text files?
 In a database (oracle, or other)?   Spreadsheets?  What are the pros and

Re: Oracle8i and oracle9i in the same machine

This is rather vague.

What does I cannot use both at the same time actually mean?

I use both on NT 4 sp 6 without a problem.

Re: Creating the Java System

I have been in this situation a couple times.

You *can* fix your system so that java can be built successfully.

It requires perusal of a few articles on MetaLink, and some persistance.

Well, if you cannot create or replace Java system, then you have a problem with
the data dictionary. The table that is returning too many records is, quite likely,
a SYS-owned table. You may beat me to the pulp but I still think that it will
probably be necessary to re-create your database. Migration migrates 8i data 
dictionary to 9i. It is a complicated process and I don't exactly know how it's done,
but I know this: if your data dictionary is foobar, you have to recreate the database
and use full import. Let me guess: you have quite a few gigabytes to export? 
Why beat me up because of that? Buy me a pizza, cholesterol will get me sooner or
later.

Dan,

  That's a good idea for documenting structures inside the database.
However, my database manager wants more high level info: database name /
host, oracle version, listeners, applications that use it, cron job
descriptions and times, main schemas and what they are used for, lists of
developers names that access the databse, etc...

RE: PERL?

I agree. I once wrote a whole set of functions to run sql and sqlplus scripts
directly from the command line. I didn't find it useful enough to continue.

And it's rather tricky to program.

I've written one shell script using the coprocess. I don't like using it.
But that's just me.

I think one way of describing ksh (for the male readers out there, anyway)
is that ksh is like the legally blonde girlfriend: There are times when
you wish there was more intelligence there. But she has enough features to
satisfy; and she's so easy, you just going back to her.

 I don't think any UNIX shell has some package or module 
 written for any
 database. So the only way to talk to Oracle is using shell as 
 a wrapper around
 sqlplus (or any application you developed). In sqlplus, you 
 can use bind
 variables easily. In this sense, we can say shell does allow 
 you to use bind
 variables.
 
 Speaking of Perl versus shell, Perl may still be quite 
 primitive in supporting
 two-way communication with an external program e.g. sqlplus. 
 (I have an example
 at 
 www.stormloader.com/yonghuang/computer/OracleAndPerl.html#2way
 tosqlplus
 using IPC::Open2). But I think a KornShell coprocess (not a 
 here document) does
 it nicely, i.e. piping a SQL command in and reading the 
 result back, piping
 another command in, reading again, without exiting your 
 sqlplus session. If you
 use Perl DBI (or the old OraPerl), Jared may know this but 
 I'm not sure if you
 can send any arbitary SQL command such as explain plan, 
 shutdown... and read
 its output.

Re: Documenting databases

2003-12-09 Thread Kip . Bryant
Don't know if this has been mentioned or if it does enough of what you're 
looking for but you can pick up something called RDA (remote diagnostic 
agent) from Oracle that'll give you an overview of OS setup, Network, 
performance (very high level), and RDBMS info.  And the result is web-a-fied 
which might please your manager. I forget whether I found this in metalink or 
technet...
