Re:File Restoration/Recovery
Dick... Thanks very much for the reply! > Only if 1) The database is shutdown prior to the copy of the > datafiles, and everything else that compromises the database (online > redo, control files, etc...) I hate second-guessing myself, but this is what I've been trying to tell him. > or 2) the effected tablespaces are put into hot backup mode before the > copy, in which case when you restore the files Oracle will ask for the > archive redo to roll them forward to the rest of the database. Here's another direct quote on my admonition for not running the database with archive logging: "Thanks again for your help on this. we've [sic] not decided to run oracle in archive mode yet as content on this oracle [sic] instance will only be changed through replication and instead of recovering from archive logs it is easy to recover it from replication." The replication to which he is referring is through the application (Documentum). > As far as "returning the skeleton database based on these files" he's > smoking something good!! What I believe he's more likely asking for > is a schema export. I considered offering him that option, but that wouldn't solve his problem. The background (briefly) is that this server, until Wednesday, was being "administered" by an engineer -- it's part of someone's empire here at Lucent, and [WAS] outside of the scope of my Unix system administration team. On Wednesday, one of the hard drives failed, taking with it many of the datafiles Oracle finds useful. Not surprisingly, it quickly became in-scope. We replaced the failed drive, then discovered that the system wasn't even being backed-up. Now, this developer wants a way to recover without, again, having to manually recreate the database. Thanks again for the reply and the assistance!!

File Restoration/Recovery
All... A developer working on a Solaris 2.6 server running Oracle 7.3.4 desires a nightly backup (by simply copying them to a backup directory) of the datafiles of an active instance. I explain that it will be a waste of tape because the files will be corrupt and useless. He counters, "As long as these files are there, irrespective of their state, oracle [sic] provides the tools to restore the skeleton database based on these files." Will this be the case? I understand that there will [most likely] be some loss of data, but will Oracle "fix" itself to a point where it's useful again?

interMedia Textkey (DRG-10826)
All...
One more submission to see if there are any takers, then I'll stop
nagging and keep looking...
I'm running Oracle 8.1.6 on Solaris 8.
Will someone please help me understand the Textkey parameter in
the ctx_doc.themes function? I am receiving a DRG-10826 error on:
exec
ctx_doc.themes('ctx_webdocs', 1, 'MYTHEMES', 1, full_themes => TRUE);
The index is on a BLOB column that, for the moment, contains only
textual data (not that it really matters, anyway). I don't understand
the relationship of the textkey to the table and/or index. Any help is
greatly appreciated.
TIA!!

Re: Selecting Next X Values From Dual
Anjo... Thanks for the reply!! > If X is fixed for all sessions, do a step increase of X so that you > only have to select 1 row from dual. Unfortunately, I don't feel I can do that. I'm using the returned values as unique identifiers to protect against duplicate database submissions from a web-based application.

SQL Join or Subquery
All... I have a question about a query over which I've been racking my brain for weeks, and I can't find a reference to adequately assist me. Given a table of temperature sensors, and a table of readings from those sensors, how might I grab the max (hence latest or current) temperature reading for each sensor? The relevant fields in the tables are timestamp and temp_c (temperature table), and sensorid (both temperature and sensor tables). I'm fairly certain that I'm overlooking something very elementary, and I feel it should be simple and straightforward, but I think I'm being stymied by the use of aggregate functions in my query. I can provide examples of my failed attempts, if you'd like. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
