OT: user CGI-BIN directories

2002-08-14 Thread Alroy Mascranghe

To execute the cgi scripts thru web/HTML forms we had to put them in the
common cgi-bin directory. But is there a way to have these scripts in a
user's home directory and still call them thru web/HTML forms?

TIA

RE: Why DDL is not allowed in PL/SQL

2002-07-11 Thread Alroy Mascranghe

Maybe it is to maintain transaction consistency, bcos the DDLs issue a
commit implicitly. So if u do in the middle of DML-transaction it might mess
up the transaction as a whole.

Hi List,
Why it is not allowed to write DDL(e.g. create table)
in PL/SQL directly,
but same can be done using DBMS_SQL package.

You can use DBMS_SQL if it will help you.

Hi all,

DECLARE
   mfield varchar2(20);
   CURSOR t1 Select region, value from table2;

BEGIN
 FOR t1rec IN t1 LOOP
   mfield := t1rec.region||'_00';
   UPDATE table1
   SET mfield = mfield + 1;
 END LOOP;
END;

Basically, I would want to update field1 in table1 based on the value of
region from table2. If region = ABC, I want to concatenate region and _00 to
determine field to update in table1.

Structure of Table1
REG_00
ABC_00
DES_00

Is this possible?

Mutation effect for Inserts

2002-03-26 Thread Alroy Mascranghe



From a table's pre insert trigger we are inserting to the same table (thru a
procedure). But the recursive effect is stopped by using some logic (i.e.
The second record is put only if the :NEW.status equals something. In the
second insert, the record is put with a different 'status'. ). Is this ok ?
I checked the docs it said upto 32 it is ok and depends on MAX_OPEN_CURSORS
also.

But when I update an existing record and expect to see the second record
inserted I get the table is mutating error message.

DBMS Job vs C Daemon

2002-03-14 Thread Alroy Mascranghe


Several programs writes to a table. From that table a process has to be
initiated. (Currently it is working on a trigger but this is causing locking
problems). What would be the best way to do this - to read the table and
start the process ? A PRO C daemon or a DBMS job ? What are the advantages
and disadvantages of each ?

Table Locks

2002-02-12 Thread Alroy Mascranghe

Hi all

We are running on 8.0.5.2.1 database. Once we had a database creash and was
restored. After that the users have been experiencing locks. What happens is
when one user locks some rows, other users are also getting stuck. But they
are not locking the same rows. We are looking at the code to see whether any
unusual things are there. One of the programs in the system uses DBMS_ALERT.


How can we find more information - what rows are being locked, and any other
relevant info about locks?

Is there any ways in which a row locks turns out to be a table lock ?

Thanks
Alroy
