Poor performance importing LOBS
Hi, I have a apps 11.0 table that we have been importing with no problem but when we upgraded to apps 11.i the import takes 10 times as long. Upon inspection I found two of the columns have been converted to LOBS. I found a few articles on metalinks that referenced the slow import of LOBS but nothing to really fix it. I bumped the import buffer up to 64M and that helped by about 25% but we need more. I would appreciate any ideas. We are running 8.1.7.4 Thanks Craig Ward Southern Systems Solutions, Inc. 803-817-6438 mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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).

shutdown abort not advised on NT, memory probs
Doc ID: Note:46001.1 l Bulletin Type: BULLETIN Status: PUBLISHED Content Type: TEXT/PLAIN Creation Date: 14-JAN-1998 Last Revision Date: 11-APR-2002 1. Purpose == This note explains how Oracle interacts with Windows NT's memory architecture, for addition information about NT's memory architecture see [NOTE:46053.1] e) How session memory is released thread termination consequences --- When a users session completes successfully it deallocates its memory using the Win32 API call VirtualFree with the MEM_DECOMMIT | MEM_RELEASE allocation flags. After all allocations have been freed the stack is also released, leaving the Oracle processes address space free of reference to the completed session. If a users session terminates unexpectedly it will not release the memory it has allocated, the allocated pages will remain in the Oracle processes address space until the process exits. Unexpected termination may occur if a users session if forced to terminate for one of the following reasons : - Shutdown abort. - Alter session kill session. - Oracle command line utility orakill. - Oracle Administration assistant for Windows : kill session. - Other utilities that can kill threads in processes. Oracle Support Services recommends customers minimize the use of the above commands, in particular the shutdown abort command. When shutdown abort is run its calls the Win32 API TerminateThread for each users session, which kills the thread without releasing its memory. On systems with many users a large percentage of the 2GB address space of the Oracle process will become inaccessible, ultimately causing allocation problems when Oracle is next started. The only way to release this memory is to stop and start the Oracle Service (e.g. OracleServiceORCL). ---end--- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: [EMAIL PROTECTED] INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California-- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists 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: (Fwd/2)
(test, posting from www.mail2web.com) Gary, Certainly. I'm waiting for people to present more factual information. (Maybe Larry needed some petty cash for a new boat or something?) Instead, what you see is people defending the social privileges of the wealthy technocorporate elites, and the ethos of sleaze, extreme greed and selfishness that they are mired in. Do you know if Oracle's accounting practices are currently documented in a way that is transparent to investors? I guess a lot of alleged facts will come out after the august deadline that the SEC has imposed for corporate executives to sign off on the validity of their accounting. regards, ep Original Message: - Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 08:53:34 -0800 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Eric, Have you considered the POSSIBILITY that Larry sold the stock without the benefit of insider trading, and simply got lucky with his timing? After all, the main reason Oracle stock has lost so much value is not due to problems specific to the company, but due to problems in the market and economy as a whole. So where would the insider info come into play? And if he really did have insider info, and was acting unethically, why not sell more shares? The amount he sold was probably less than 5% of his holdings. I don't mean to defend ceo misconduct, corporate fraud, etc, I just think you need look this particular accusation a little more objectively, especially when you consider its source. I have great respect for McCain's war record and heroism, but now he is a politician, a Senator no less. IMHO, one can't take anything any politician says at face value. Given a choice between honesty and self-promotion, I'm afraid politicians too often choose the latter. And without getting into specifics about McCain, he seems to be second in the Senate only to my own Sen. Schumer in his love of getting on TV (Q: What's the most dangerous place in NY? A: Between Chuck Schumer and a TV camera). Larry makes a convenient and easy target, someone a politician knows he can attack, get a good soundbite, and have very little chance of being challenged.

Replication trouble
Hi, We are running Oracle 8.1.7.2.0 with Solaris 8. (Sparc) We are using read-only snaphots with multiple groups (one/schema), replication every minute. Simple 'select *' replication. One of the snapshot process seems to stall and all access to one of the tables in the actual group is blocked (any select hangs forever). Killing the snapshot job connection (alter session kill) frees the system/table. There is a trace file with WAITED TOO LONG FOR A ROW CACHE ENQUEUE LOCK! . We have seen this with different applications (Java) and on different systems. In these cases the replication was on the same database (but that could be because we have not run as many tests in a distributed environment = target production configuration). So no db link involved in this case. There is no normal locks on the tables. Any advice ?

Hi Dba's, in my company they told me to create a DB on an IBM AIX box. I'm new on the AIX environment (I come from VMS) and I have only found the Oracle installation manual (Oracle7 Installation and Configuration Guide for IBM RS/6000 ) that seems to me a little confusing. There is someone, experienced in these tasks, that can suggest me some more practical hints to accomplish the task? ( a check-list or a document or a link to a document; after the creation of DB I have also to import a production DB ).

How to install the O9i cluster DB on a PC
How to install and deploy Oracle Real Application Clusters on a single Linux server with a minimal configuration (less than $1000 worth of hardware): First of all to install Oracle cluster database you DON'T HAVE to have a cluster, but a single PC may do as well (of course thi kind of installation will not be of much use for a production DB). A minimal server that I HAVE TESTED is: Celeron 750 MhZ, 512 Mb of RAM, 2 IDE HD, Linux Suse 7.2 This document contains the steps needed to deploy a working Oracle 9i Database with a minimal comment. For a complete discussion refer to Oracle documentation, namely: Oracle 9i administrator's reference part number A90347-02 Oracle 9i Linux release notes part number A90356-01 Oracle 9i Real Application Clusters Administration part numebr A89869-01 1) set up the partitions to user for Oracle software and the ones to use as raw devices for the cluster DB. Soppose you want to you use an HD mounted as the 3rd IDE device (/dev/hdc) for the cluster DB. Then you have to partition it with fdisk with a large extended partition (say hdc1). Create a large number of logical partitions inside hdc1 (say hdc5 till hdc20) of about 300 Mb in size (all of the same size for simplicity). 2) Real application clusters wants to store the DB strutures into raw devices or a cluster filesystem. Create the raw devices using the following command (as superuser): raw /dev/raw1 /dev/hdc5 raw /dev/raw2 /dev/hdc6 ... etc till /dev/hdc20 you will need to repeat these steps after every boot 3) Set up the Oracle user (already done with the Suse distribution), environment variables and mount point. Install Oracle software enterprise edition 4) Complete the installation with a custom install of the real application cluster option. This will add a directory called oracm under your oracle home, which contains the cluster manager software 5) edit $ORACLE_HOME/oracm/admin/nmcfg.ora, it contains 3 lines for the set-up of the cluster manager sofware: DefinedNodes=localhost CmDiskFiles=/dev/raw2 CmHostName=localhost 6) edit /var/opt/oracle/srvConfig.loc. It contains 1 line with the location of a raw device used to sync the cluster nodes: srvconfig_loc=/dev/raw1 7) start the cluster manager software (as superuser): $ORACLE_HOME/oracm/bin/ocmstart.sh 8) as the oracle user start the global cache service: gsd 9) you can now create a cluster db. to use the configuration assistant you need to set an extra environment variable: export THREADS_FLAG=native 10) start the configuration assistant: dbca expect some errors in the script the dbca generates, best is to review them before execution 11) after the db creation you'll be able to start two instances on the same DB, which means you will have a cluster DB! 12) the environment variable ORACLE_SID will determine the instance to which you can connect by means of a special syntax: SID.parameter=value this is used for example for paramters like instance_number, thread, etc also the parameter cluster_database must be set to true All these problems are normaly handled by the dbca. NOTE: to set up a multi-node cluster you need to have at least: 2 PC with SCSI controllers (one of them must have a BIOS), at least 1 SCSI HD which is shared between the 2 PCs (it is connected to the 2 controllers). Having all that, you can set up the raw devices on the PCs and share them between the 2 installations of 9i RAC. The cluster manager must be properly configured and started on both nodes in a similar, but extended, step (5).

Re: Master/master with diff username possible ?
Hello Anita Thanks for your answer. We need to share some tables between different software. So we need to replicate these tables to different schemas.

Re: V$transaction query?

Another query: some job is haning frequently in our database (Oracle8.1.7).When I try to remove by dbms_jobs.remove packge.It show error. Which one ? You must be the user which created it to be able to remove it, being a DBA is not enough (although you can magically become anybody when you are a DBA - you may find become.sql, in the DBA toolkit on the Oriole site, useful for this, as well as for grants and for toying with private database links or more precisely recompiling stored objects which refer to private database links). When I try to kill session by alter system kill session command then it shows ORA-00031: session marked for kill error.I cann't find more information of metalink.Let me know how can solve this problem. Hmmm, jobs are a bit special. They are Oracle background processes in the same respect as dbwr, lgwr and the like - they execute stored procedures on your behalf, but they are not ordinary sessions. It is not surprising you cannot kill them because the same snpxxx which is running your job right now may be expected to run a job for somebody else shortly after or even possibly refreshing a snapshot. IMHO you should log as the user on whose behalf the job is run and remove it using the dbms_job package.

I apologize for being off topic here, but I am stuck.
I have been struggling for 3 days on what I believe is a simple script.
Here is the piece of code which is not functioning as I require:
1 UserIP = Request.ServerVariable("REMOTE_HOST")
2 IPCheck = Left(UserIP,7)
3 If UserIP = "192.168" Then
4 parser.setSingleSessionField "My_Template", "template_i"
5 Else
6 parser.setSingleSessionField "My_Template", "template_o"
7 End If
If I comment out all but line 4, I can verify that My_Template is set to
'template_i'. If I comment out all but line 6, I can verify that
My_Template is set to 'template_o'. If I run with now lines commented,
My_Template winds up blank.
What am I doing wrong?

RE: Which is faster?

I'm going to some tables with huge amount of records. There are references between these tables. The question is: Does it worth creating a procedure with several small selects or is it faster to use one select with joins? For example: CUSTOMER(CUST_ID); CONTRACT(CONTR_ID,CUST_ID); CONTRACT_ITEM(CONTR_I_ID,CONTR_ID,PHONE_NUM_ID); PHONE_NUMBER(PHONE_NUM_ID,PHONE_NUM); I have the PHONE_NUM and I need the CUST_ID. Which Faster? SELECT CUST_ID from PHONE_NUM,CONTRACT_ITEM,CONTRACT,CUSTOMER where [JOINS] and PHONE_NUM=searchedone or In procedure or function select phone_num_id into Variable from phone where phone_num=searchedone; select contract_id into Variable2 from contract_item where phone_num_id=Variable; select cust_id into Variable from contract where contr_id=Variable2; Thanks in advance.

RE: When you should use NOLOGGING while creating indexes
Advantages: - Less performance overhead in creating the indexes Disadvantages: - Unrecoverable. Ie. If the Database is not shutdown normally after the creation of the indexes (SHUTDOWN ABORT or crash), you'll have to recreate those indexes. Also look at: - Creating an index in using parallel servers (multiple instances) (I think this can be done - MAYBE SOMEBODY CAN COMMENT) - Analyzing your tables and indexes regularly ie.

RE: Off Topic: Row Locking - Row Id
Hi Riyaj Thanx for the reply. As it's a web system we'll probably be selecting 20 records at a time (ie. the user sees 20 products of which he can book more than one at a time). So I'd probably not try to select and test each individual record, purely for performance considerations. select * from t1 skip locked I need to unfortunately know which records have been locked - I need to display them as well to the user, because he may want to wait to book them, if the other user doesn't buy them ... this happens frequently. Also, "skip locked" only works when you want to select something for update, ie. select * from t1 FOR UPDATE skip locked. When the user is only browsing, I don't want to lock anything. Thanx for the responses. Cheers JL -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2001 5:41 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi Johan Will this work ? Person A books the product he wants with 'select * from t1 for update'. At this point, he has lock on the row. Person B comes in, looks at the product and does a 'select * from t1 for update nowait' If the row is locked for update then person B will get ORA-0054. If Person B gets an ORA-0054 then, you know that the person A has booked the product but not bought yet. The locks hold by the person A will be cleaned by the pmon if the process dies away. But the above will only work if each of the web user gets its own database connections. I don't know about your environment, but in most environment, the connection to the database is shared among the web sessions. If that is the case, then you may have to use the flags to track the state changes. If you want to show only rows that are locked then you could use this undocumented feature: 'select * from t1 skip locked'. This will skip all the rows that have been locked.

RE: Renaming a Column
Hi All
I think I did send one out earlier. Don't bite.
You can't rename a column. The combatibility parameter issue I was thinking
of has to do with when you want to drop a column in 8i. That I know, has to
be greater or equal to 8.1.0 when you want to drop a column
Sorry again

Ok i'll bite, i try to keep up with the new features and i'm looking at
8i(8.1.7) docs right now and i dont see it, would you like to elaborate?
you can rename a table, rename a partition but NOT rename a column, this
has been on the wish-list for many years just like drop column was.
Feel free to flame me if i'm wrong(it does happen but rarely) :)

After a lot of research on Metalink, the Steve Adams site (http://www.ixora.com.au), and Usenet archive searches (www.deja.com), the S mode wait for session 481 (and no row) makes me think this isn't the typical application induced deadlock due to the way and order in which locks are acquired.

From what I've read the past 2 days, there could be other reasons for the S mode wait, but, waits for Unique/PK enforcement, insufficient ITL slots, and bitmap index were the most common reasons mentioned. Because the statement reported was a SELECT FOR UPDATE, I've eliminated (correctly?) the check for uniqueness wait during inserts, and, with no bitmap index on the table, that leaves the ITL slots as the main candidate. What I need to do is determine if this is indeed an application coding issue, or, if I need to kick this back to the DBA's and let them research it. And I don't mean that in a finger pointing way. The DBA's and developers there work well together. From what I've read and learned so far, this deadlock doesn't seem to be an application coding issue. I am thinking about saying that and asking them (if they haven't already) to open a TAR and provide the trace file to Oracle Support. If anyone has any comments or suggestions, I would appreciate hearing them (because if this could still be due to an application coding issue, more research needs to be done on the development and/or my side of the house).

Off Topic: Row Locking - Row Id
Hi Anybody have any idea where I can find the rowid of a row that is being locked within a table? Kind Regards JL -Original Message- Sent: Monday, February 12, 2001 5:40 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi In my opinion, this is an ITL issue. When a process need an ITL and have to wait for it , then it pseudo randomly selects a locked row (from that block) and enqueues itself in to the waiters queue. But the row_waited information in v$session will be null. In rare cases, it is possible for the deadlock to occur if the ITL waiter holds the row that is needed by the other process. I would ask, what is the frequency of this deadlock ? Is this the first occurrence ? If it is the first occurrence, then I would wait for the next occurrence and then spend time and resource.
