RE: sizing sort_area_size

2003-09-19 Thread Hitchman, Peter
Hi,
Looking at v$sort_segment also can gve you a good idea of how much space you
are using in your temporary tablespace, across the current uptime of the
instance, assuming that it is a true temporary tablespace.

If you see less direct IO waits on your temporary tablespace, then
increasing s_a_s has helped.

Activity on temp tablespace from v$tempstat.. but it's only good enough for
comparing with baselines..

RE: BAARF

2003-09-29 Thread Hitchman, Peter
Hi,
To add my two pennies worth. By design I create physical database lqyouts
that seperate indexes and tables by tablespace for ease of management,
unless the database is real small. My experience over the years with Oracle,
has been the object corruptions in the database have occurred more frequenty
with indexes than tables, and when it happens its good just to be able to
scrap the index tablespaces datafiles and start again.

Thomas,

Please pardon me, but you are off-target in your criticisms of OFA.

It has never advocated separating tables from indexes for performance
purposes.  Ironically, your email starts to touch on the real reason for
separating them (i.e. different types of I/O, different recovery
requirements, etc).  Tables and indexes do belong in different tablespaces,
but not for reasons of performance.

Cary first designed and implemented OFA in the early 90s and formalized it
into a paper in 1995.  Quite frankly, it is a brilliant set of rules of how
Oracle-based systems should be structured, and a breath of fresh air from
the simplistic way that Oracle installers laid things out at the time.  It
took several years for Oracle Development to see the light and become
OFA-compliant, and not a moment too soon either.  Just imagine if everything
were still installed into a single directory tree under ORACLE_HOME?   All
of things you mention here have nothing to do with OFA.

Please read the paper.

Hope this helps...

-Tim

P.S.By the way, multiple block sizes are not intended for performance
optimization;  they merely enable transportable tablespaces between
databases with different block sizes.

Hi,
Did you rename the materialized view? If so you are probably hitting bug
1335477. Can you see the view name in user_mviews? I think you have to try
and re-create the materialized view and then drop it. 

Really suggest you contact Oracle, unless someone on the list has the

Using an index defined on members of a user defined type

2003-10-28 Thread Hitchman, Peter
Hi,
I am looking at Oracle schema for IBM's MQ Workflow and I have a table that
has an index on members of a user defined type. This index is not getting
used when it could help a delete statement. Using the 10053 trace I got this
snippet in the trace:

SINGLE TABLE ACCESS PATH
  No statistics type defined for function TIMESTAMP_WF
  No default selectivity defined for function TIMESTAMP_WF

Does anyone have any experience in setting up functions so that the database
will use indexes against them?

In this case the table looks like this:

CREATE TABLE  AUDIT_TRAIL
(
CREATED TIMESTAMP_WFNOT NULL
  , EVENT   NUMBER(10,0)NOT NULL
  , TEMPL_VALID_FROMTIMESTAMP_WF
  , ACTIVITY_TYPE   NUMBER(10,0)

)
TABLESPACE ADTTRAIL;

and the index is:

CREATE INDEX AT_CREATED_PROCID
   ON AUDIT_TRAIL
(
CREATED.D, CREATED.S
, PROCESS_ID
) TABLESPACE ADTTRAIL;


and here is the type

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TIMESTAMP_WF AS OBJECT(

RE: Configuring Oracle with RAID and OFA

2003-03-27 Thread Hitchman, Peter
Hi,
Dwayne I agree with Rachel's comments. In the past I have laid out databases
on RAID1+0, and there are some documents available indicating that this is
the disk layout of choice for databases. Now I am faced with SAN and no say
in how the disks are configured. So I have just created the normal set of
directories, so that I don't have all the files lumped together from a file
system perspective. Of course I would really like some separate disks for
online redo logs and the archive logs, but I am not going to get them!

Pete

With a single RAID-5 device, you can't place the database files on
separate physical disks. 

Having said that, just as a means of documenting the database, I would
still generate an OFA-compliant set of directories and place the
various database objects in the separate directories. You won't get any
benefit of separating files (which may or may not be beneficial in any
case) but you will be able to easily distinguish which files are which
type and the database they belong to.

I presume that you, like me, have no say in how your disk system is
configured?

You will have to change your input data and replace the "<" with "<".
This is one of the standard 5 XML entity references. Really you need to make

Hi Gurus,

We are working with Intermedia Text 8.1.6.
We created a intermedia index on a search field.  We
also created 2 sections in this field.

Table name : S01
Filed name : S01_search
Sections name : SY,MAN

Here is an example of data in this field:
CyanePhibro Energy  *
This example works fine.  

But we have a problem when there is a "<" character in
the data. 

Intermedia thinks it's a new tag and tries to find a
section but it cannot.
Exemple:
Cyane < 10 Phibro Energy  *

Question :  
1- Should we do something with the "<" in our data ?

TIA

Check the readme file or installation notes. It will tell you where to

I installed a couple of years old version, and I was asked to install

Hi List,

The requirement is as follows:

DBNAME=PROD ( 'DBNAME' variable contains value 'PROD' )

LINE_PROD=100 ( 'LINE_PROD' variable contains value 100 )

Now I want to echo the LINE_PROD variable using DBNAME variable.
e.g 
echo ${LINE_${DBNAME}} should return 100.

Is this possible and if yes, how ? I tried some ways but couldn't find any
way.

RE: XDB XLMSCHEMA

2003-11-06 Thread Hitchman, Peter



Hi,
I do 
not have a tool for what you want. But I did experiment with XDB during the 
Summer of 2002. There is a XML IDE called XML Spy  that integrates with 
Oracle XDB (http://www.altova.com/) and I 
suggest that you go to the XDB forum on Technet to ask your questions, I do not 
think that XDB is widley enough used to get answers on this 
forum.

  XDB XLMSCHEMA
  List,
   
  There doesn't seem to be any cool tools to generate XMLSchemas for XDB 
  that I could find.
   
  Here is a simple sql script to pull a table out of the data dictionary 
  and generate a basic XMLSCHEMA to register in Oracle XDB.
   
  I'm trying to figure out what the conversion is for Oracle datatypes to 
  XML data types.
   
  I figure Oracle's varchar2 datatype converts to XML's string 
  datatype.  
   
  Is there a document that would have the conversion somewhere?
   
  Secondly, I'm trying to add the generation to the xmlschema for 
  ref (i.e. ) for 
  constraints.  I know there is a lot of knowledge on this list.  Was 
  wondering if any one had a decode or snipet of code that they would be willing 
  to give me to add to my simple program to pull constraints and turn them into 
  ref statements, or better yet point me to a tool.
   
  TIA

Hi,

  Oracle officially "desupported" the package in 
  8i; but then included (by mistake?) in 9i. In 8i, however, you could pester 
  your friendly neuighborhood Support Analyst to give you the package. You could 
  try from 9i sources, too; but not sure if they work.

RE: Oracle9iR2 - temporary tablespace usage error

2003-09-05 Thread Hitchman, Peter



Hi,
There 
are a couple of issues here. Firstly you need to know that when you get the 
error about the "temp" segment when building the index, the segment in question 
is the index. It is just that when building the index Oracle creates a temp 
segment to sort the data in and to create the index in and when it finishes 
it changes the segment type to "index". But if it runs out of space trying to 
build the index, it reports the error about the segment without first 
changing the segment type.
 
When 
it comes to the temporary space in a tempfile temporary tablespace, Oracle never 
actually drops the extents that get allocated until the database is shutdown, 
instead they just get marked as being available when the session that first 
created them no longer needs them.
 
Regards
 
Pete

RE: DB2 has a foot in the door

2003-09-10 Thread Hitchman, Peter
Hi,
I looked into SE but found that Oracle would not allow it to be used on a
machine that has 4 or more CPUs or can support that many CPUs, which for
this company is a problem because we generally run Oracle on Sun servers.
Don't know if that has changed now with later Oracle releases.

When negotiating site licensing, does Oracle encourage the customers to buy
EE licences?

Or can people negotiate for a mix of EE or SE.

Just curious, I don't know how that would work -- not very compatible with
OracleStore, it seems to me.

It was done 3-4 years ago. Maybe Oracle changed tactics since then.
