Re: Becoming a DBA questions

2002-01-04 Thread Dan Whatley

I agree also, I've been working with Oracle since
version 4 and the rates here in austin,tx are anywhere
from $35/hr to $75/hr, and chances are pretty slim finding
an company willing to pay $75/hr for an senior person, and
usually its an 1099 job when it comes to $75/hr job.

Re: ANALYZED Questions?

2001-12-17 Thread Dan Whatley

Hi Seema,

Those tables are used by the replication services to populate
changes to other snapshot/master databases.   When you create
a primary key snapshot log on a master table, execute an 
"alter snapshot log add primary key" in addition to MLOG$_,
an temporary table by the name "RUPD$_ will also 
be created.

To remove them, you would run this PL/SQL script, and as an rule
of thumb, before you try this, be sure to try this out on an test
database "BEFORE" running on your production database to verify
the end results.

Remove Temporary Updatable Snapshot Logs

Determine if you have temporary updatable snapshot logs by issuing the
following SQL statement: 

SELECT owner, table_name FROM dba_tables
WHERE temporary='Y' AND
table_name LIKE 'RUPD$%';


If any rows are returned, temporary updatable snapshot logs exist in
your database. Run the following PL/SQL block to remove them: 

DECLARE 
  sql_cur  BINARY_INTEGER; 
  dummyBINARY_INTEGER; 
  new_flag BINARY_INTEGER; 
 
  CURSOR mv_logs IS 
SELECT '"'||mowner||'"."'||temp_log||'"' temp_log, 
   flag, mowner, master 
  FROM mlog$ m 
 WHERE temp_log IS NOT NULL 
FOR UPDATE; 
BEGIN 
  sql_cur := dbms_sql.open_cursor; 
  FOR alog IN mv_logs LOOP 
new_flag := alog.flag; 
IF dbms_ijob.bit(new_flag, 64) THEN ---KKZLOGTUPS 
  new_flag := new_flag - 64; 
END IF; 
 
BEGIN 
  dbms_sql.parse(sql_cur, 'DROP TABLE ' || alog.temp_log,
dbms_sql.v7); 
  dummy := dbms_sql.execute(sql_cur); 
 
  UPDATE mlog$ m 
 SET flag = new_flag, temp_log = NULL 
   WHERE m.mowner = alog.mowner AND m.master = alog.master; 
EXCEPTION WHEN others THEN 
  NULL; --- Ignore the error 
END; 
  END LOOP; 
  dbms_sql.close_cursor(sql_cur); 
  COMMIT; 
EXCEPTION WHEN others THEN 
  IF dbms_sql.is_open(sql_cur) THEN 
dbms_sql.close_cursor(sql_cur); 
  END IF; 
  RAISE; 
END;

Re: Change PCTINCREAE for SYSTEM Tablespace

2001-12-17 Thread Dan Whatley

Hi Ken,

If no one has told you yet, all you have to do is 
to use the "alter tablespace" command, for example:

alter tablespace system default storage (pctincrease 0);

select tablespace_name, pct_increase from dba_tablespaces
where tablespace_name='SYSTEM';

You shouldn't need to rebuild your database, (e.g. your
control files) to reset this tablespace storage parameter.
Hope this resolves your problem for you there.
