RE: Any good product / option for Source code control
PVCS is a nice tool, especially when combined with PVCSTracker for change management. VSS (Visual SourceSafe) and PVCS offer similar capabilities when compared side-by-side. PVCS has an (optional) promotion model that VSS doesn't have (although VSS Labels can 'fake' it). Both tools have a command line capability contrary to Steven's note. PVCS has an API that is callable from 'roll-your-own' tools which is fairly cool of you want to write a lot of C/C++ code. VSS on the other hand has an exposed API that is callable from VBScript as an Active-X objectso that you can automate pushes through Active Server Pages and the like (been there..done that!). They're both nice toolsbut they're just _tools_ . You need to figure out how to best use them before you roll them out.

RE: BROKEN_PIPE from Weblogic
I don't think it's accurate to say that NET8 isn't involved when you're talking directly to the listener =8-) More correctly you are eliminating the NET8 client DLL's...but you could still have the connections dropping due to transient network failures. I have a particular problem with CISCO switches and TRU64 Alpha boxes in my environment. JDBC thick connections drop but because they are 'thick' I get a SQLNET.LOG file on the client that shows a TNS-12203 (unable to connect to destination) error. Other apps like Maximo report an ORA-3113 but also show the TNS-12203 error in their sqlnet.log files. When I do a level 16 listener trace I can see the connection being closed (read() error) but I've never been able to figure out why =8-( The only thing that moderates the problem is to make sure that the Alpha is set to 100MB/Full Duplex instead of auto-detect as well as hard-coding these values on the switch port. Ditto for the NT app servers. friends don't let friends auto-negotiate =8-) But I still see periodic TNS-12203's just less of them Try doing a level 16 trace from the listner end.

Re: Integration with IBM Mqueue series
It's MQSeries =8-) It's a form of MOM (Message Oriented Middleware). The thing that it most closely resembles in the Oracle world is Oracle Pipes...except that the a queue can be persistent...i.e. survive a reboot. I'm not familiar with Advanced Queue Option so maybe Oracle now has that feature too. Anyway...it makes no sense to 'replicate' to MQ since your data would only be placed on a message queue from the Oracle end. What would be interesting is what is done with the data after it is put on the queue. =8-) MQ ships with an API that allows you to programatically place messages and retrieve messages on to and from the queues. You would need to make these libraries known to the extproc interface to be able to do anything useful with them. More likely you would write some sort of interface (C,C++,VB,java) between inserted/updated data that could then reference these API's Of course, what is written to the queue is highly dependant on what is reading it from the other (Big BLue!) end...so you could be writing data, XML or even SQL to be read and processed from the other end.

The Pro*C/C++ pre-compiler provided by Oracle is the method we use to pre-compile our program.

Re: storing credit card numbers in a database
Look into the DBMS_OBFUSCAITON package. I used it to encrypt passwords for a system management app and it works well. The only problem is that you need an encryption key for the programs to use. If anybody knows how to read the ALL_SOURCE view they will be able to find your key and decrypt the data. You can use the 'wrap' utility to try to hide it and then protect the un-wrapped source code up the ying-yang but if you use a text variable like I was crazy enough to to, the damn literal gets put into the wrapped source. You can use an expression of some sort but it's going to have to generate the key reliably each time and then what happens if it doesn't some day and all of your data becomes unreadable??? the literal starts looking betterbut you have to hide it well and protect it from being compromised.

On Mon, 20 Jan 2003, Koivu, Lisa wrote: Thomas, thanks for your post. However I don't see where I can match the threads on NT to what I see in Task Manager. Am I missing something? To be more explicit, here's what I've got: Lisa, The point you're missing is that Task Manager shows _processes_ and the view is showing _threads_ . They're 2 distinct constructs. In its simplest sense a thread is an independently executing 'thread of execution' from a main task. This is how you see one process for ORACLE.EXE and its running multiple threads (PMON, SMON etc) if you look at the process using a tool such as PVIEW or PSTAT. Processes are spawned using the CreateProcess() API call and a process then spins off multiple threads using another call such as AfxBeginThread() (in C++). The threads all operate independently of each other and the programmer must be careful when accessing common areas of memory simultaneously by different threads. This is why in a Dr. Watson dump you will see what each thread is doing and one or more of them will usually be running WaitForSingleObject() which is a WIN32 way of serializing access to shared _process_ memory. Contrast this to the multi-process architecture that Oracle uses on Unix. The shared memory stuctures are separate from each individual _process_ and the processes use semaphores or latches to serialize access to the external memory segment.

What I found was that knowing all of that stuff made it worse for trying to figure out 9IAS Rel 2 (9.03). What further complicates it (web forms that is) is that if you read the documents on Metalink regarding the forms listener 'Servlet' implementation then you will be lost trying to set it up using 9.0.3 9IAS Rel 2 uses OC4J (Oracle Container 4 Java) to run the forms listener servlet so most of the config is done for you already. Your point of contact with the app server is the IAS_HOME\forms90\server\formsweb.cfg file which contains most of the variables that I used to hand-code in the static html JInitiator file. What you need to do to get a form up is 1) install the 9IAS Rel2 Infrastructure in its own home 2) intall the 9IAS Rel2 BI Forms and Reports install in its own home 3) install Forms9i/Reports9i in its own home 4) add a section called 'barb' to the IAS_HOME (not the infrastructure or forms home) \forms90\server\formsweb.cfg like the following [barb] form=your_main_menu.fmx separateFrame=True lookandfeel=Generic otherparams=others parms your forms might need 5) Add your forms path to the FORMS90_PATH variable in the file IAS_HOME\forms90\server\default.env 6) bring up the IAS instance in the OEM brower and stop and start the BI_FORMS OC4J instance 7) point your browser at http://yourserver:yourport/forms90/f90servlet?config=barb and your form should come up Note all of the port numbers that the install assigns. On a fresh install I got port=1810 for the OEM console and port=7778 for the first website. In comparison to OAS/OWS it's easy, that's why I say that knowing the earlier architectures can be even more confusing =8-) HTH Jeff Herrick On Fri, 17 Jan 2003, Barbara Baker wrote: List: I'm touching iAS for the first time ever.

None...only the oracle background processes (threads in Winblows) access the datafiles/logfiles etc. All other communication is done through the SGA.

Re: Oracle on windows and shadow thread file access
Jared, You're right. There's a cool diagram in the Server Concepts manual. So back to the original issue, scalabilty could be affected in a dedicated server configuration depending on how many files needed to be opened.

Re: ole
Umm,
The program sets up an ODatabase object and then references
ODynaset objects to issue queries
e.g. assuming you have a 3 edit control login dialog box with a
class name of MYDialog. Somewhere in the InitInstance() member
for the application object you should have
#include oracl.h
#include mydialog.h
MYDialog dlg;
ODatabase odb;
int stat;
OStartup(); // Initialize the OLE server
if(dlg.DoModal() == IDOK) // run the connection dialog
{
stat = odb.Open(dlg.m_CSDatabase,dlg.m_CSUser,dlg.m_CSPass);
// check for an error and if ok then proceed to use the
// ODatabase object in calls to open ODynaset objects or
// execute stored procedures etc.
}
Or if you're running as a service you can stash/retrieve the
parameters in the registry through your code. The point is
that everything has to be done through YOUR codeit's just an API
Think of it as a Windows-only alternative to PRO*C. It's not
like ODBC where you setup different connections through another
tool.
Generally speaking you need to
1) create a new project workspace with Visual Studio
2) copy ORACLM.LIB from the orawin install directory
and insert it into the project
3) copy/insert oracl.h from the oracle directory
4) make sure your project starts up OLE (AfxOleInit()) and you call
the Oracle supplied function OStartup()
5) compile against ORACLM.LIB and run against ORACLM.DLL
Each client running your .exe must have OLE Objects installed
and the Oracle data control registered.

Re: off-topic -UNIX question
Hello
Processes can test the validity of PID's by signalling the PID
with a ZERO signal number. To signal the process you use the
kill() system call. When a zero signal number is used error checking
is done but no signal is sent so that you don't have to worry
about what the process is going to do with a untrapped or
ill-defined interrupt handler
eg.
#include stdio.h
#include signal.h
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int pidno = atoi(argv[1]);
if(kill(pidno,0) == 0)
printf(pid number %d exists\n,pidno);
else
printf(pid number %d does not exist (or does not belong to
you)\n,pidno);
exit(0);
}
The above code will check the pid passed as the first command
line argument to the program. Note that you can't signal arbitrary
processes unless you are the superuser or the process is owned by
your userid.

RE: What is an API?
Beyond what the acronym stands for I would add that it's an interface to the 'guts' of COTS (Commercial Off-The Shelf) packages. Two examples I have worked with personnally are 1) WinFax API - ships as a set of DLL's that allow you to interface directly to the WinFax OLE object so that you can send faxes programmatically...in my case it was faxing purchase orders from Maximo 2) PVCS API - allows you to directly interface to information contained in PVCS archive files Other examples include one that ships with Financials, the Windows API's and others too numerous to mention. They usually ship as header files (.h) library files (.lib) as well as runtime (.DLL) files. The entry points are documented and you 'roll your own' from there.

Re: Off Topic, slightly - Crystal Reports internal format
Jared 1) for the dbname...why not just change the SID in TNSNAMES that the ODBC DSN is using to point to the snap-shotted(?) instance 2) I think private synonyms would be the way to go for the table naming problem. Why did they not just use the same names on the snapshot sitebeen there done that, got the T-shirt HTH...or maybe I didn't understand your requirement =8-) Jeff Herrick Jeff Herrick Associates On Mon, 10 Jun 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: List, I have an 'opportunity' to make some points with end users, if possible. I'm booting the crystal reports users off of my production databases ( including SAP, can you believe that? ). There reports will now run against a reporting server with snapshotted tables. Their reports have been written with Crystal Reports 8 via ODBC. 2 problems: 1) When originally setup, the ODBC DSN matched the name of the database. Not smart I know, but I inherited it. Changing the data source in Crystal basically forces you to rewrite the report. 2) The username has changed. Production is CIMUSER, reporting is CIM_MV. The table names have '_MV' suffix in the reporting database. Any reasonable tool would allow you to change these items without too much fuss. Either CR8 is not reasonable, or I have just not found out how to do it yet. Without reconstructing the report that is. Any tips, resources, what have you are welcome. If you know of any documentation detailing the *.rpt file format, that would be most appreciated, as I could just modify their reports from the command line or with a hex editor.

Sorry...I haven't used onames or OID yet; but does it not still provide the same level of abstraction as TNSNAMES without the file? The ODBC DSN is still separate and will have to resolve whether it is doing so through names or whatever. I still think you would change the logical side (service_name) to point at a different physical db and Bill's fine ODBC software won't care. The risk is that they use the same DSN for updating; then you would have a problem. 2) I think private synonyms would be the way to go for the table naming problem. Why did they not just use the same names on the snapshot sitebeen there done that, got the T-shirt Private synonyms will either: * not work * confuse the user. 'They' is me. The table names reflect the fact that the tables are materialized views. FWIW there are public synonyms for the tables, but Crystal doesn't use them. Jared 'Crystal doesn't use them'??? then the schema must be encoded in the SQR SQL statements. If this is true then you have another problem because you want to rename the schema. If you don't want to modify/recompile the SQR then why not create the schema that SQR expects and front the MV tables with synonyms. Oh...and when did we start caring if the user was confused? =8-) j/k Cheers Jeff H. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Jeff Herrick INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California-- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

Re: How to make deletes faster.
How'bout 1) add a char(1) column...call it DELETE_ME and allow NULLS 2) index the DELETE_ME column 3) every night run an update like UPDATE yourbigwhackintable SET DELETE_ME = 'Y' WHERE the row satisfies your delete condition 4) DELETE FROM yourbigwhackintable WHERE DELETE_ME = 'Y' This is assuming of course you have free reign over the app as far as adding a column and the index. The index won't store the NULLs of the non-deleteable rows if you were worrying about index size BTW. Note..this technique is not 'mine'...I got it from a book (can't remember which one!) so your mileage may vary!

Re: Where 1 = 1
Hi Ed It's useful in when generating DML on the fly and you don't have the inclination or the ability to determine if there are any other user-supplied (or otherwise generated) predicates or where/when the last predicate has been found. i.e. 1) Generate first part of Select (select foo from bar) 2) determine if there is at least one predicate and output 'WHERE' 3) loop thru predicates (from another table or a list box construct) 4) tack on the 'AND 1=1;' if you did step 3 5) prepare and execute the DML HTH Jeff Herrick Jeff Herrick Associates On Thu, 25 Oct 2001, Ed Bittel wrote: I was monitoring a load test of my company's new application when I came across something interesting.
