Database character set for Webshpere access

2003-04-01 Thread Godlewski, Melissa
Title: Database character set for Webshpere access





list,


I've searched the faq list and metalink. It appears the database character set for java etc should be al32utf8 and nls_character set of al16utf16 for a 9i R2 database.

Has anyone altered a database from US7ASCII to al32utf8 and al16utf16? Any problems?

This is a UNIX Solaris running 5.8 I created the database from sqlplus using scripts. I somehow thought the default was LMT for system rather then DICTIONARY. I changed the script to LMT and recreated, but I was surprised by the Dictionary system creation.

DBCA, by default in 92 will create SYSTEM as LMT. There is an option to do
dictionary if you prefer. CREATE DATABASE default is a dictionary managed
SYSTEM tablespace with LMT optioinal.

on NT when I used the creation assistant to generate

Which is a good reason to save scripts from DBCA as opposed to having it
create the DB for you. I always do this. I can't tell you how many times I
tried to let DBCA create the DB directly only to have it crap out for one
reason or another, and then you need to go back and plug in all the custom
values all over again. If you save scripts, you can modify them to do
whatever you want.

 It was only in 9.2 that it was possible to create the system tablespace
 as locally managed, and rumour says that in 10i system tbs defaults to
 locally managed.

 The reason it's not default in 9.2 is most likely because..:
 1. Most likely they just didn't update the DBCA default scripts to
 use this feature when they went from 9i R1 to 9i R2 (read: the scripts
 was just copied from the 9i R1 source tree)
 2. The feature is brand new, so if some problems turn up, most
 databases wont have it set, because they are created from the DBCA.

Database naming conventions

2003-02-14 Thread Godlewski, Melissa



List, 


I'm 
use to using a standard D=development T=test P=production. So for a 
database newly created on development it would be called something like 
D24X7. Then when it was created on Production it would be called 
P24X7. Or along similar lines.

I'm 
working with an other DBA who wants everything to start with ora. 
Therefore it would be called orad24x7 and orap24x7. I've argued the ora is 
rather redundant since everyone will know it's an Oracle database they are 
connecting to. He is adamant it should have the ora identification so it 
is easily identified. I feel it will cause more confusion having ora at 
the beging of every dbname. 

Any 
thoughts for against either position?

I agree with you - I would eliminate the 'ora'. You can illustrate the absurdity by insisting that it also include the version number and OS ora9201tru64p24x7.

Unfortunately these sizes are fixed, and based on your level of
license with Oracle Corp. If you need to increase the size of your
datafiles or rollback segments, you must contact your Oracle sales
representative and request additional power units.


If you find that you run in a dynamic enough environment, you may wish
to upgrade to a more sophisticated database system such as MS SQL
Server or Filemaker Pro, both of which allow dynamic resizing.

Oracle 817 on Solaris 2.6 moving to Solaris 8

2002-11-04 Thread Godlewski, Melissa
Title: Oracle 817 on Solaris 2.6 moving to  Solaris 8





OS upgrade relink all?


We are actually moving from one physical machine to another, but in reality we are just doing and OS upgrade from Sun Solaris 2.6 to Sun Solaris 8. My idea is to just backup the database and restore to the new machine. Relink all the oracle executables, and I'm back up and running. Did I miss/forget something in here?

Function use across database links

2002-10-17 Thread Godlewski, Melissa
Title: Function use across database links





List,


Oracle documentation indicates the Oracle database server breaks the distributed query into a corresponding number of remote queries which it then sends to the remote node for execution. The remote node executes the queries and sends the results back to the local node. Therefore, I ran a statement and explained it. The results show

SELECT STATEMENT Cost=8
 REMOTE


The question I have, is what if the sql is stored in a function that doesn't exist on the remote database. Will the Oracle server use the local function? If so, does it pull the data from the table on the remote server across the network.

I checked orafaq.com, but didn't find any hits on this subject, and was unable to locate any other documentation regarding function usage and Database links.

TIA

 A quick search of the doc...
 
 GLOBAL TEMPORARY
 
 Specify GLOBAL TEMPORARY to indicate that the table is temporary and
 that its definition is visible to all sessions. The data in a
 temporary table is visible only to the session that inserts the data
 into the table. 
 
 A temporary table has a definition that persists the same as the
 definitions of regular tables, but it contains either
 session-specific or transaction-specific data. You specify whether
 the data is session- or transaction-specific with the ON COMMIT
 keywords (below).

this trend of massive exports of IT jobs overseas continues, I am not sure
how many of us will be able to have that.
BTW, before firing the slingshots at this E-mail, please note that I am

Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 9:23 AM

Subject: How to use pipe-delimited SQL*Plus output with a long datatype




One of our developers wants to create a reusable report where the
pipe-delimited output generated by SQL*Plus would be sent off and used as
input into another process. The problem is the remarks field which is of
type long. It causes ORA-00997 errors. If I take the pipe-delimits off,
the report works o.k. If I take the remarks field out, the report works
o.k. There seems to be an incompatibility between the two. The
developer wants to have the remarks column included in the report and she
also wants the fields to be delimited somehow.


I saw an informative document on Metalink about the ORA-997 error but there
is no work-around suggested. Does anyone have any bright ideas? It is
not possible to convert the long within the database, at this time. This
database will be obsolete in a few months so it's not worth the hassle to
recode all of the apps that use this field.

RE: AUDIT_ACTIONS

2002-04-25 Thread Godlewski, Melissa
Title: RE: AUDIT_ACTIONS





Below explanation from Metalink.


If something is being audited by session, then there are four values 
that determine if the same record is updated or a new record is inserted. 


Two of these values are the session id and the object id of the object the action is against. The third value is the constant action code 103 - this is used to show that this is a session record. The final value is the privs used. This has to match with the record already in the audit trail - i.e. if it is null, then the existing record must also be null. If it is non-null, then the existing record must have the same non-null value. 

So, assuming the privs remain the same, all actions on one object go into one record. This includes insert, update, delete etc. Hence we can now see why the action name can't be anything other than SESSION REC as the record has to represent all the actions possible on the object.

Question: system tablespace fragmentation.

I've

below: It appears to me Oracle just updates the objauth$ without checking 
if a permission already exists. This shouldn't (should it) cause 
fragmentation in the system tablespace since it updates an existing record with 
the same information.

Comments were made that DB2 and AS400s are not open. Does this mean that you couldn't write a client/server program to access data on DB2 (say using C++ from Windows 2000)?

RUMBA/400 formerly pc support connects to the AS400 from a windows pc. Last I knew, the AS400 data need to be converted from EBCDIC into the wrkdoc area for ASCII in order for Rumba/400 to work with it correctly.

Subject: RE: No DBAs needed on AS400



Thank you for all the replies that I have received. 


It sounds like a version of DB2 comes along with the OS, or a full fledged version of DB2 can be installed. From what I have heard about their AS400 system, they can access their files directly - without going through a database. This reminds me of my COBOL days on VMS. It sounds like DB2 can be configured to use files, which would mean that you could either update the file directly or go through DB2 - is this correct? I can also make another VMS relation here - we had a tool called DataTrieve which you could configure to use regular files. You could then issue SQL like statements through DataTrieve against your files. Is DB2 like this? Somebody needed to configure DataTrieve before it could reference a file - what about DB2? Unless they never changed/added files on the AS400.

Comments were made that DB2 and AS400s are not open. Does this mean that you couldn't write a client/server program to access data on DB2 (say using C++ from Windows 2000)?

I'm off to find on-line docs...


Answers to some questions:


Does it have DB2 as the database?
He didn't say that it was running DB2.


If you are performing queries from Oracle to DB2 (SQL Queries), that is being performed through Oracle's gateway product.

We are not doing this.

Jay - I can see the manager's confusion. After all, one expects computers to

forwarded your question to another list that has some AS/400 programmers.
--
On the AS400 you can run queries and use SQL even though the machine is
configured to use files. Under the covers it is still AS400/DB2.
--
The AS/400 has a full-featured database built into the operating system.
Originally it didn't even have a name but IBM started calling it DB2/400
when they found out that some people didn't know it was there. And you don't
need a DBA. Virtually all the functions that are performed by a DBA on an
Oracle database, for example, are handled automatically by the AS/400 under
the covers.

Control file sequential read

2002-02-28 Thread Godlewski, Melissa
Title: Control file sequential read





Listers,


On development I truncated a fairly large partitioned table, inserted the data from production via a db_link and then built partitioned indexes on the table. I was watching the v$session_waits for the session and noticed several sets of control file sequential reads during the index builds. I checked what file 2 was against the dba_data_files and it was showing rollback tablespace. Is this due to delayed block cleanout?

Subject: Database Performance Question



Hello all:


We have an application that is having slow response time against an 8i
database, I would like to improve the response time. This is a web based
application accessing the database with about 2000 users. Most of the
application queries are based on complex joins on 4 big tables with each
having over 5 million rows( biggest table has 18 million rows). I have
tuned the Package queries for the best explain plan possible, but still do
not seem to make dramatic change in the response time. Though, I was able
to make significant headway tuning these packages by bringing down response
times from 7 minutes to under 3 minutes. But this is not an acceptable
response time from a web-application perspective. 


I am considering creating data cubes based on the most frequently used join
conditions and pre-populate them on a nightly basis or use triggers to
update the cube simultaneously. 
I am hoping that this enhance the response times.


I would greatly appreciate your suggestions or opinions on this idea. If you
have an alternative/better way of achiving this please enlighten me.


Thank very much.
Srini Rajendran.

Hey Fellas,


I have an application DBA who insists that the pctincrease at the data
tablespace should be set to 0 so that SMON does not coalesce the
tablespace. He says coalesce will be performed by using a scheduled batch
job written for that purpose. He states that having SMON to perform an
coalesce of the tablespace could cause an performance degrade??? I have
never heard of such a thing, but then I dont wanna argue with him. He's got
wrinkles on his face, and grey hair ;-)


My argument would be, go back to the drawing board, get your tables sized
properly, if you anticipate fragmentation. And SMON does not cause a
performance degrade? It wakes up every 5 minutes, does hold ST enqueue
locks if a tablespace needs coalescing, but it does not cause a performance
degrade? Or does it???


Now, can I have a definitive word on this? Any sites, white papers, to
refer to that says so, or to the contrary. I need to convince the higher
ups.

If you have indexes on the table you may want to drop prior to delete and rebuild them after it completes.


Does this table have foreign key constraints? 


Rowid is the fastest data access method. 


Create a interim table of the rowids for the rows you want deleted and delete from table where rowid in interim table rowid column. 

You may want to lock the table if you are worried about row migration.

Ken,


Just add the column with the correct name, and leave
the other one alone.


You could create a check constraint to make sure it isn't used.


Better yet, create a real account and don't use SYS or SYSTEM,
as that is never a good idea.


As you've already discovered, it really isn't all that convenient. ;)

Dave:


I am working on a database to do a DB conversion from IMS to 8.1.7. It is
only being used to load the data for the conversion process. No
application
software will be connected to it. So, for convenience I am doing
everything
as SYS. I am the only person using this DB on a dedicated W2000 server. I
accidentally added this column by the wrong name, so I want to delete the
column so I can add the column with the correct name. I would change the
name of the column but I have not found any syntax to do this.
Thanks,
Ken

Ken,


I rarely log into any of my databases as SYS - too much mischief can be
made (and I'm just the fumble-fingered guy to make it).
There are very few columns owned by SYS. Most of these are in tables
designed to support the database. You need to be REAL careful. Could be
that the table you're in is currently in use by virtue of the fact you're
logged in as SYS.

8.1.7 logged in as SYS.


Will not let me drop a column because it belongs to SYS.


If I am logged in as SYS why can't I drop a column owned by SYS?

RE: 8i or 9i for Data Warehouse

2001-10-30 Thread Godlewski, Melissa

Oracle 9i has more data warehouse functionality. ETL with external tables is
beneficial depending on your data transformation requirements.  

If your using the star schema.  Bit mapped indexes on the fact tables for
each dimension could really increase your performance with either version 8i
or 9i.

Hi everyone - 

I have been asked to do the database planning for a fairly large data
warehouse.  The warehouse is currently in Sybase and is about 160 GB.  They
are planning to move to Oracle very soon.

My questions - does it make more sense to spin it up on 8.1.7 or 9?  (This
will be a pretty good size Solaris machine).  Are there newer features in 9i
that would really benefit them?  I am looking at partitioning tables and
using some bit-mapped indexes - something they don't have today.  I was
originally looking at 8.1.7, but now that 9 has been around for a little
bit, I'm wondering if any of you have some advice (good or bad) regarding
version 9.

Any and all comments are appreciated.

Thanks - 
lisa

RE: CLOB trigger problem

2001-09-19 Thread Godlewski, Melissa

Is the transaction committed by the client prior to your using the CLOB
PL/SQL?

-Original Message-
Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2001 2:15 AM
To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L


Dear listers,

I am trying to copy an updated CLOB from a table in one database (let's call
it A) to the equivalent table in another database (called B just to be
original).  I have written triggers and procedures to do this (one package
on each database), and I am passing the contents of the CLOB to the remote
update procedure as VARCHAR fields in a PL/SQL table.   

Everything works perfectly well when I run an update against table A.  I am
connecting via TOAD and am logged on to Oracle as the schema owner.  The
contents of the CLOB are retrieved, passed across and used to update the
remote table.

When the client updates the CLOB in table A, however, the select statement
in my package on database A which 'locates' the CLOB, retrieves a CLOB of
zero length.  No exception occurs in the Select statement.  The client's
update succeeds on table A, and my package sends an empty PL/SQL table to
the remote procedure (and the CLOB on the remote table is duly erased). The
client is connecting through an ASP-driven web interface via IIS, which as
far as I can tell is also logging on to Oracle as the schema owner.

Anyone encountered this sort of behaviour before?  I've just about run out
of ideas.  If I can't solve this by direct means I can probably do something
kludgy like launch the remote update as a background process via
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT, but I'd far rather have it under transactional control.

Oracle version is 8.1.6.3 on both databases.

Can supply contents of triggers etc. if needed. 

Cheers,
James Campbell
