RE: VC++ to Oracle connectivity without installing client

2002-11-08 Thread Ji, Richard
Hrm.  But that's why everyone is doing web-based(three-tier) applications
to avoid doing that kind of thing.  Even if you manage to include Oracle
client into your app, you will still face the challenge of rolling
your app on 1000 PCs.  Plus subsequent fixes, new versions.

Hello Gurus,

I would like to program our VC++ application to
directly connect to Oracle database using OO4O or OCI.
But the problem is this VC++ app is gonna run on 1000s
of desktops where we may have to install Oracle client
which will be a time consuming in-efficient process. I
am trying to see if the required client dlls and other
files can be combined in the VC++ package itself and 
delivered to those 1000s of desktops.

Can any of you give some insight into this, please?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Muru

shareplex core dumps - help

2002-11-07 Thread Ji, Richard
Hi all,

We are having a shareplex issue and I am hoping someone here with shareplex
knowledge
can help me out.  I don't know much about shareplex.  Basically we are
replicating to a
target table which is partitioned by date.  And partitions that are 3 days
old will be set
to read-only because there are not suppose to be anything new.  But
occasionally, some
record with timestamp older than 3 days creep up, so of course shareplex
couldn't put
the record into the target partition because it's read-only.

Now the problem is shareplex core dumps when this happens.  I am very
surprised that
we couldn't have a rule that tells shareplex if you can't replicate then
either discard the
record or put it elsewhere.  Core dump seems to be a extreme reaction to
this.  unfortunately
this is hosted and ran by a hosting company and I have no shareplex here to
test or verify.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Richard

Oh, and I forgot to add that the table that's being replicated is

urgent help: replication, shareplex

2002-09-30 Thread Ji, Richard

Hi All,

I needed some help here involving shareplex.

We run two databases (an OLTP type, and a repository type) on the same E10K
domain
which has 8 CPUs and 8GB of RAM, using Hatachi SAN (RAID 5).  Shareplex is
being used
to replicate a table from the OLTP type to the repository.  The current
volume we are getting
is about 40 inserts per second to the OLTP.  And at this rate shareplex is
lagging behind
doing the replication, for 24 hours now.  And I see the shareplex process
running at 10%
while all Oracle processes are below 1% of the CPU.

The situation is complicated, because it involves a hosting company.  For
instance, I would
like to run the two databases on two separate domains but they chose not to.
So they
are blaming our application for doing commit on every insert being the
problem.  I agree that
(and I will make the change) to commit every 1000 inserts or so.  However, I
don't believe
that's the root of the problem.  From what I understand, shareplex is log
based replication
and should not be as resource instensive.  And 40 per/second isn't a huge
volume per se
and I am sure shareplex can handle a lot more than that.

So any suggestions, feedbacks are welcome.

Thanks

Richard

RE: RAC (Real Application Clusters)

2002-09-26 Thread Ji, Richard

Dennis,

True, a 2/3 node clusters ain't that cheap.  But to achieve high
availability
the other choice is to buy a high end server like Sun E10k or the newer
ones.  And I think the 2/3 node clusters are cheap compare to those big
iron boxes and you get a very good availability and scalability from
clusters.
I think that's the selling point of RAC.  You can cluster bunch of cheaper
Intel based machines running Linux cluster and run RAC on it.

Glenn - I have a question you could ask. Oracle talks about how RAC will
allow Oracle to make better use of cheap computers. To me the weak point is
how much bandwidth you have between the nodes. If you have a gigabit fiber
optic connection between the nodes, it might work well, but suppose you have
a shared LAN? To me, RAC would work quite nicely in a clustered server, but
then we've strolled away from cheap, haven't we? This point is keeping my
hardware people from buying into the concept.

If you can't recover it,  Oracle has, or had, a utility called DUL (Data

sqlldr.
I haven't used it, but I heard about it several times.
It's still urban legend until I get a copy :)

I feel your pain.  I just got off a call which the hosting company
blamed Solaris kernel panic on my "resource intensive query" that's

It turned out to be a NFS bug that's shown clearly in both core dumps.
But NO, they don't trust the core dump, they think it's the query.

I've just spent 30 minutes with our SAP administrator trying to
convince her that we really don't need to reorganize the tables
in our production SAP database.

Due to some misinformation in an Oracle Press book, 'Oracle Unleashed'
I think, she is equating number of extents with fragmentation.

The text she referred me to is in fact discussing 'migrated rows' though
that term is never used.  She has become convinced that if the
extents allocated for tables are not all in contigous space, some
very nasty fragmentation will occur.

I tried taking it down to disk and explaining that an OLTP system with 
hundreds of users won't really see much benefit from this, but she
wasn't really ready for that.  :)

Her concern is that there are 29000 extents in an index tablespace.
This might have something to do with there being 3400 indexes in
said tablespace.

Total 'wasted' ( honeycomb ) space in this 250 gig DB is < 20 meg.  Not
much to  gain there.

The text of the book states that you should expect a '10 to 20 percent 
performance increase' by reorganizing the tables/indexes.  No data to 
back it up of course.

This is on a database that performs very well most of the time, outside
of a couple of custom reports that run too long.  No complaints from
users about slowness.

Arrghhh!

I just had to vent to the list, cuz there's no one here that understands.

RE: Cursor : please help

2002-09-10 Thread Ji, Richard

What type of JDBC driver are u using?  I haven't used 9i yet.
But some 8i OCI drivers caches the cursor even if you close the ResultSet,
Statement object.  Thus you will see it increments.  You will have to
close the Connection object which is not good like your situation since
you are pooling them.

No to doubt your programming ability but you should also check to see
how and where the ResultSet and Statement are closed.  I have gone
through codes that the developer claim that they closed everything, but
if the statement is not at the right place, just having a closed statement
doesn't necessarily means it will get closed.

dbwr high count of threads

2002-09-09 Thread Ji, Richard

Hi all,

I noticed the dbwr process on Solaris has a very high number of threads
(258).
To me this is not a problem since I am seeing this on my small development
box too.
But we recently had some server crash and the consultant is saying Oracle is
consuming
a lots of resource, citing the high number of Oracle thread count from the
core dump analysis.
I don't believe this lead to the crash because the core stack trace points
to NFS calls in both
times.

However, I don't know how to explain the high number thread count mostly
from the dbwr process.
Is this normal?  I mean, it looks like it's normal since I see this on all
of my instances.
How do I convince him that this is ok?

Thanks for your help.

Not saying it's a good thing to do.  You mentioned thin driver doesn't
work with MTS which is not true.  Just want to point it out.

RE: java stored procedures

No, besides the hostname:sid:port syntax, you can also use the long connect
string "jdbc:oracle:thin:@(description=(address=(host= ..." syntax.

And it works with both MTS and dedicated server.

RE: proc. being exeucted from open_cursors

2002-08-29 Thread Ji, Richard

That's because it's 120 open cursors per session.  So
when you have multiple sessions, you will see the total
from v$open_cursor greater than 120.

v$open_cursor doesn't always tell u exactally the number
of open cursors that's counting toward the limit.  It's better
to check v$sesstat for statistic#=3.

package/procedure being executed.

I checked v$open_cursor.sql_text. But similar text is
existing in multiple procedures.

from where can I get a particular procedure being
executed ?

1 more Q:

In one of the production instances open_cursors values
 is 120. But when I checked from v$open_cursor there
are more than 120 existing.

I checked distinct sid and distinct hash_value.

am I missing something in my select statement, to get
exact open_cursors.

can somebody through somelight on this.

thanx in advance,

RE: basic Unix question ???

2002-08-29 Thread Ji, Richard

try:

uname -a

for version information.

ksh is usually under /usr/bin/ksh

Not every Unix comes with top, you will have to install it.

Hi all,

I have two questions.  First, how to find out
information about my unix box, like version, etc.

In my box, I can use hostname to get the machine name.
 I remember there is a command called version, but I
got "Ksh: version: not found."  Any other useful
commands to know about my machine?

Actually when I use top, it also returns "ksh: top: 
not found."  My second question is where does ksh
usually reside, which value should I set for PATH.

Thank you in advance.

Janet

Hello guys,

I am baffled by this problem.

I need to fish out the person's name from a list but I only want the 
name of the person that occurs once in the list - minus those names that 
occurs more than once.

Now, I know about "distinct" and "unique", but this is not what I want. 
All I want is to be able to fish out the names of the people who have 
only one and exactly only one entry in the list. I do not want the names 
of those people who have more than one entry in the list.

Could one of you do me a huge favor give me some hints as to how to 
contruct the select statement for this.

Thanks.

RE: working with datafile > 2Gb in HadHat 7.3

2002-08-29 Thread Ji, Richard

There is no such hardware limitation like that.  Those are the OS i.e.
software limitations.  For instance, the 2gb file size limit is because of
the
32 bit OS, actually, to be more specific, it's the 32 bit file system.
You can have a 32bit OS kernel, but if your file system supports 64bit, then
you can support >2gb files.  Same thing for the memory.

OK. I stand corrected. You do need third party tools though. But I 
suppose engineers can always hack their way through hardware limitations 
to make thing work. Like the >4GB memory limit of intels - this is not 
more since I believe Windows 2K and XP have this feature(in software?) 
where it can access greater than 4GB memory..

RE: ROWNUM strangeness?

2002-08-29 Thread Ji, Richard

Hi Paul,

How's going?

Maybe there are other criteria's that limits the result set to only
return 24 rows?

Richard Ji

-Original Message-
Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 11:53 AM

I've been given a query to investigate.  The performance varies
extremely depending on whether the entire result set is fetched or a
ROWNUM < n clause is attached; that makes sense to me.  What doesn't
make sense is the following:  if we add WHERE ROWNUM < 50, the query
returns 24 rows.  If we add WHERE ROWNUM < 1000, the query returns 336
rows! 

I don't know the size of the entire result set (I'm running a count
right now), but if the result set consists of at least 336 rows,
shouldn't WHERE ROWNUM < 50 return 49 rows?

TIA!

Dennis,

This is a auite of products.  The prime offender is
WebSphere, an IBM product.  The IBM consultants have
been particularly difficult to deal with.  According
to them, nothing Oracle ever produced works.  

The project specifications call for transparent fail
over which is possible using Oracle's thick client. 
Unfortunately, WebSphere does not seem to be able to
use anything but jdbc thin client.

If we can't get this to work, we will likely go to
something like Veritas Cluster Server.  Replication
provided a solution that had already paid for.

RE: Hot Backup using EMC /BCV splits

2002-08-15 Thread Ji, Richard

You are right that the BCV split should occur at step 2.
Ask him what's the point for step 1 - 3 if he split BCV at step 4.

Is he also splitting the BCV for control file and online redo logs?

Hello,

We are on IBM AIX 4.3.3  with EMC and BCVs. Our Unix admin has setup the
backups for the database in following sequence to do the Hot backup.

1.  Put all tablespaces in the database in Hot backup mode
2. Sleep 5
3. Put all the tablespaces back into normal mode
4. Split the BCV's
5. Mount on another machine and backed up from it.

What I am concerned is with step 4.  Split BCV's should be done at step 2
instead of step 4.
According to our Unix Admin, EMC takes care of consistency and there is no
need for any concern. As per him the split is instant split and EMC
guarantees consistency.

What do you all think.  What is the recommended procedure.

TIA,

Nate

RE: Oracle 9i, tomcat

2002-07-31 Thread Ji, Richard

Joshy,

In some versions of 8i there were bug related to OCI driver where
closing Statements and ResultSet aren't enough, you have to close
Connection which is obviously not good for connection pooling.
Not sure if 9i could have this problem too.

Also, check on how you close the Statements and ResultSets.
Are they closed in the Finally clause so no matter what happens
they get closed.  And I have found out people claim to close them
but close it the wrong way.  i.e.  after ResultSet rs gets reassigned
they tried to close it.

Hi Neyman,
Thanks for your quick response. I use connection pool. Initially it makes 25

But I close prep statements and resultset after using it, but to no avail. 
Any idea?

Can anyone point in the right direction to start researching this?

Dennis,

I'm not sure your referring to the message I posted a couple of weeks
ago,
but the labeling on the CD's from Oracle can be deceiving.  Each CD pack
ships
with both the 32 and 64 bit versions of Oracle, one of which is labeled with
the
bit value).  Make sure you've got the right one.

If memory is serving correctly 'variant' in MicroSlop maps somewhat to
raw
in Oracle.

Rachel - We are using 64-bit Oracle on 64-bit Solaris. No problems so far,
but not much mileage on either. The one thing that came up is that you must
be careful because you seem to get 32-bit Oracle by default. Someone on this
list suggested running "file oracle".

Oracle does have user-defined data types if that helps.

knows what type of data it is storing within the column. They referred
me to C++ and Java, neither of which I know.

Can anyone point in the right direction to start researching this?

RE: a couple of questions

2002-07-17 Thread Ji, Richard

How do u get 32 bit by default?  The 32bit and 64bit Oracle came as
separate CDs.  Am I missing something?

Rachel - We are using 64-bit Oracle on 64-bit Solaris. No problems so far,
but not much mileage on either. The one thing that came up is that you must
be careful because you seem to get 32-bit Oracle by default. Someone on this
list suggested running "file oracle".

Oracle does have user-defined data types if that helps.

Okay, I'm working on what feels like 30 new projects all at once and I
WILL be RTFM'ing as soon as I can get more than 5 minutes out of
meetings but


first:  has anyone heard of any problems with 64-bit Oracle on a
Solaris 64-bit OS?

second (and this one confuses me a bit)... I've been asked if Oracle9i
supports a "variant" datatype -- they are not familiar with oracle but
are familiar with SQL Server and say that there is a datatype called
"variant" there where you can basically overload the column with
whatever datatype you want (string, number, date) and the database
knows what type of data it is storing within the column. They referred
me to C++ and Java, neither of which I know.

Can anyone point in the right direction to start researching this?

Hi all

I have a table with 8 millions rows and I deleted the 500 million. Then I
exported tables (300 mb) and imported into another schema. After that, the
table size is still the same.

I thought table size should be taken much less space. the storage clause for
both table is the same: pct10,pctused 40.

any idea.

Hi Richard

You can do that. But I think it is recommandable to wrap up the PL/SQL and
put it into packages. This way, your code is much better organized than
having anonymous blocks throughout your Java code.

Hi Antje

Eventhough I never migrated Sybase (or SQL Server) code (JDBC/Java) to
Oracle, 
maybe that helps anyway:

In Transact SQL, you can actually return data from an anonymous block, 
that's correct. An equivalent to do this in PL/SQL might be the use of 
OUT parameters within stored procedures. That means that you just have 
to write wrappers for your T-SQL blocks (put them into PL/SQL stored procs).
Done that, you can communicate from Java with the procedure through the OUT 
parameter, once you registered the proc with it's OUT parameters within the 
Java context. After binding the parameter to Java variables, the data will 
be transferred to those variables (when the proc is executed) for your
further 
use within the Java context. Nothing new, actually. A problem might be the 
syntactical difference between T-SQL and PL/SQL, eventhough Oracle is able 
to handle more of the syntax you encounter in T-SQL like CASE or ANSI SQL
joins.

Hope that helps a little bit. If not, pipe it to /dev/null ;)

Hi, gurus,
collegues of mine told me, that Sybase can return information from anonymous
blocks.
When I do not want to use SQLJ, but only JDBC what is the best way to
migrate the Sybase code to Oracle.
Any tips appreciated,
Regards,

You are assuming:

You'll probobly see the reflextions of the cats eyes, even in the dark.

1) Count the number of eyes you see.
2) Divide that number in two.

Very easy. :)

Good day to everyone...

I have two questions related to Linux and Solaris...

* I need do find memory usage (physical, virtual...) of a particular
proccess. PID is given by by "ps", but what aditional parameters I have to
provide? At a first glance, output of "man ps" vas confusing...

* How do I find computer's configuration - what CPU, numbers of CPUs, clock,
amount of memory, number of harddrives, what version of OS, what OS patches
are applied...?

No, I can't ask sysadmin about that (hard to explain), and, no, I don't have
any kind of advanced manuals...

Thanks in advance,

RE: 8.1.7.4 patch for Linux

2002-06-21 Thread Ji, Richard

After installing the patch, Oracle ask you to put
_system_trig_enabled=false in your init.ora
before you run catalog catproc etc.

I took it out and still have the problem.

I also compared the init parameter values in alerg.log
before and after applying the patch.  Nothing's changed.

I even tried to create a new instance with only 15mb SGA
and still won't startup nomount.

I traced the startup, and saw pmon comes up and goes down.
Found this message though:

1272  open("/dev/null", O_RDONLY)   = 2
1272  dup(2)= 13

Unless I am having a senior moment, won't Oracle put some changes into your
init.ora file for you when installing/upgrading Oracle 8i. I am sure I was
bitten with this a few months back. Get a copy of your old init.ora file (if
you have it )or at least check through you init.ora file for a comment line
saying "line inserted by Oracle Installer" or something like that.

Then again I could be talking c**p

Hi all,

Anyone patched their Oracle on Linux with 8.1.7.4 patch?
I patched my 8.1.7.0.0 on SuSE 7.2 to 8.1.7.4 and can't startup
the database anymore.

Keep getting ORA-24323 but I didn't change anything in my init.ora file.

RE: Paging problem in SunOS

2002-05-06 Thread Ji, Richard



My 
guess is that Mitra is not experience memory shortage if he has 1/2gb of ram and 
Oracle
is the 
only thing running on it with SGA 50M.  To verify, check whether the paging 
is actually
doing 
swapping.  Look for scan rate when doing vmstat.
 
If 
it's not memory shortage then the high paging activity is probably because the 
SAG is too
small 
and oracle has to go to disk constantly to fetch data.  Hence, Paul 
suggestes to increase
the 
SGA size.

Oracle on Solaris Memory question

2002-04-12 Thread Ji, Richard

Hi all,

I have 1gb physical memory and over 2gb swap space on my Solaris box
(Solaris 8).
My SGA is about 300mb.  When I startup my instance (8.1.7) the amount of
free
memory (physical ram) dropped as expected but the swap usage also
increased by 300mb.  I am little puzzled over this as I don't expect the
swap
used to increase since my physical memory can accommodate the SGA.

Below is a snapshot of TOP showing the memory:

Database up
==

last pid: 23317;  load averages:  0.25,  0.09,  0.09
23:14:25
74 processes:  73 sleeping, 1 on cpu
CPU states: 97.6% idle,  1.4% user,  0.5% kernel,  0.5% iowait,  0.0% swap
Memory: 1024M real, 341M free, 490M swap in use, 2319M swap free

Bring down the database, and see the free memory goes up and swap used
decreases.
==

last pid: 23317;  load averages:  0.31,  0.12,  0.10
23:14:56
52 processes:  50 sleeping, 1 running, 1 on cpu
CPU states: 84.1% idle,  4.9% user,  7.2% kernel,  3.8% iowait,  0.0% swap
Memory: 1024M real, 728M free, 87M swap in use, 2722M swap free

Startup the DB again, and see the free memory descreases and swap used
increases.
==

last pid: 23339;  load averages:  0.34,  0.14,  0.11
23:15:26
58 processes:  55 sleeping, 2 running, 1 on cpu
CPU states: 62.1% idle, 10.9% user, 17.9% kernel,  9.2% iowait,  0.0% swap
Memory: 1024M real, 353M free, 466M swap in use, 2344M swap free

So with over 300MB of physical ram still being free, why is the swap in use
so high?

Thanks.

Which is the problem I see as Paul described.  People are relying on
standard
more than data dictionary.

And like you said when a file is in the wrong place it will stand out like
a sore thumb.  But the bigger question is what will the other 15 DBAs do
about it?  If they trust the standard so much they will think it shouldn't
be there and without querying data dictionary to confirm it some one might
go ahead and delete it.  And yes the chance are very small but I don't like
to risk it.

Richard,

In a busy shop, I would think  that there is a *less* chance of a DBA making
a mistake if all databases across all platforms conformed to the same
directory standard.

Can you imagine how long it would take to diagnose and fix a problem if
every database was set up to a different standard?

Mistakes can happen, but at least with standards, if a file is in the wrong
place, it would stand out like a sore thumb.

Hi Paul,

How's going?

What if someone on the dba group make a mistake (typo or whatever)
and put the data file in the wrong place?  And other DBAs didn't
notice it and work on something.  I don't like the idea people
assume things will be in the right place because the rule says so.
I'd rather trust data dictionary than somethng that has 16 DBA's hands
on it.

Do they also write they scripts assuming everything is where it
should be?

Hi everyone.  

I'm currently working at a client where the OFA standard has been (as
they put it) "taken to the next level".  I disagree with their
approach, and I'd be interested to see what list members think.

The client believes that any DBA (there are about 16 on staff) should
be able to locate data files in any database without querying the data.
 To this end, mount points are named both /unnn (e.g., /u001) and /annn
(e.g., /a001).  "System" datafiles (system, temp, rollback tablespaces)
go only on the /unnn mount points, and in particular, datafiles for
certain tablespaces must go on certain mount points--for instance
rollback tablespace files always go on /u004.

"User" datafiles are allowed on /a001 and /a002, tables and indexes,
respectively.

To my mind, this standard changes the Optimal Flexible Architecture to
the Sub-optimal Inflexible Architecture, and all just to avoid a data
dictionary query.  What do you think?

Thanks,

You are right.  Partitioning can still make your job as a DBA easier.

I am new to the world of partitioning. 816 on W2K. In a white paper on
metalink "How to Implement Partitioning in Oracle Versions 8 and 8i " it
states that "The RULE-based optimizer does not take the partitioning of
tables and 
indexes into account."
My question is - if your application is still rule based is there any value
to partitioning? Some of the tables are over 30 million rows and 5G. If my
understanding is correct I wouldn't see any performance improvement but
would make maintenance simpler.

In the for what it is worth department, I had similiar issues.  After the
developers knocked themselves out looking for code that was not closing the
cursor, I opened a tar:

In a nutshell: yet another "feature" that cursors "even though closed by the
session that opened them" remain available this is touted as a feature
since there may be a session later that could benefit from a previous
cursor... this behavior will continue until max_cursors is reached and then
you are done...:-(

You can remedy this situation with the _CLOSE_CACHED_OPEN_CURSORS=true init
parameter.

If you are interested in more detail... my tar number is: 1921166.995

There

ORACLE-LSubject: max open cursors

a) MAX_OPEN_CURSORS is set to 1000 - when 
exceeding that threshold, we're experiencing problems; how can we monitor 
which users uses up all the cursors (and how many). 
By monitoring 
v$open_cursor 
b) What exactly is displayed when querying 
v$open_cursor? - I know htat there are parsed statements of the user/session 
- but this should be more than just a PL/SQL "declare cursor... 
open...fetch...close cursor", right? What about statements issued in 
SQL*Plus or through JDBC etc.? 
v$open_cursor displays ALL the cursors for 
a given session, not just the explicite PL/SQL or PRO*C 
stuff.A cursor is needed for EVERY 
SQL STATEMENT. The only cursor not displayed by v$open_cursor is the 
DBA himself/herself, especially if he has 
to support tools that do their own multiplexing, like 
Forte.
 
c) The results from v$open_cursor is 
equivalent to the currently running transaction, right? So when are those 
entries removed again? When the transaction commits or when the sessions 
ends? Or when issuing a PL/SQL "close cursor". Or are those entries 
overwritten? by whom? when? 
An implicit cursor is closed when another 
statement is opened and re-parsed. If you take a look at v$session, you'll 
find that is contains the "current SQL" address. That is, 
basically, the open cursor that the session is currently executing. When the 
next SQL comes in, this cursor will be closed, SQL put in the library cache 
and a new cursor will  be allocated.
d) what does querying "select * from 
v$sql_cursor" return?  
That query will usually return enough 
information for your screen to join it's ancestors and will leave you 
wandering why is that SQL*Plus does not have "clear" or "cls" 
command.
Any ideas?  
Yes. I want to win a lottery jackpot and

By taking all the joins out I think they mean basically forcing Oracle to
store the row data in the same blocks since you changes the rows to columns
or some such.  I saw a database out there a while back promoted by Joe Celko
called KillerDB that does this but the data is still stored in rows.   It
was used for very large decision making systems.  I can't find the site
anymore so perhaps just another .com gone bust.

April,

I sincerely hope you're being facetious with the statement that 
"queries run so much faster if you take all the joins out"

1000 columns!? 
How many rows like that will fit in a block?  Your system has to wade 
through
a lot of extraneous data to get a few columns for a query.

How do you index it?  You can't.

It would be most interesting if you share your benchmarks with us.

  All this talk of replication is really nice.   
  
  SharePlex for Oracle, can handle master to master replication. 
  Conflicts are handled via pl/sql procedures inside the database, where you can 
  determine exactly what happens when there is a conflict. SharePlex performs 
  really well whether it is a batch program doing massive DML operations, or 
  many small OLTP type transactions.  SharePlex can handle around 300-500 
  DML operations per second in most situations... more if the hardware and 
  database are tuned properly.  
  As for failover, it works VERY well, and can handle many of 
  the datatypes that trigger based replication can not support.  LONGs and 
  LONG RAWs especially...  One other thing SharePlex can replicate are 
  sequences.  If you have sequences that generate PK's or unique keys, then 
  you should probably replicate them, otherwise after a failure, you will have 
  to find out what the highest value for those sequences are for each of your 
  tables, and then rebuild all the sequences. This can take a long time, even on 
  a medium sized database.  
  Just a couple of things to think over, when selecting a 
  replication product.

  I've implemented a very similar solution recently for

  Multi-master replication between two databases, 1 minute propagation interval. Works great on our hardware, which was 
  designed for the purpose and is pretty fast. Small

  The same can not be said for large DML operations. So far, I've been unable to tune replication so that it is capable 
  of propagated batch type changes for large amounts of

  DML based on internal algorithm, which throws my indexing approach out of the window. Oracle Support has been of no

  Hi everyone, 
  I hope this isn't a silly question, but is 
  there any way to make Oracle compress white space in tables. 
  I come from an RDB environment, and when you 
  have a char(x) field in RDB, you can set the compression attribute on the 
  table and any trailing white space in the char(x) column is 
  compressed.
  I've found when moving some tables with long 
  char fields to Oracle, the tables take up much more space, I suspect 
  because Oracle is not compressing trailing spaces.
  Because of other constraints, I'm not able to 
  change the fields to varchar2. 
  Thanks for your help,
