Re: Rebuilding Indexes...
Jared, thanks for the asktom article, very interesting reading - I'm not 100% sure I agree with him though.I just recently went through the exercise to rebuild our indexes into locally-managed tablespaces and I saved over 100GB of space through the rebuild process - as an example I had a 51GB unique index that went to 30GB after the rebuild (I'm not implying locally-managed had anything to do with the space savings, that was just for reducing/eliminating fragmentation).The indexes had not been rebuilt in over a year. Our DSS database is next; I expect to save at least that plus more in space.Not to discount Tom's arguments but I was very happy with the space savings and depending on your environment that can be very helpful/worthwhile. Just my opinion - guess it depends on your objectives. This discussion has definitely got me thinking in some different directions which is always a good thing. thanks again, John D.

Re: Oracle and Peoplesoft
I would agree with Joan - we spend lots of time refreshing databases here. We were responsible for all of the application servers, web servers, process schedulers, etc. until a technical architecture team was formed. That has helped tremendously since my team can concentrate on the Oracle side. We have a very large Peoplesoft Financials environment here (along with HR and budgets) so we have lots to keep busy with and opportunities to use additional Oracle functionality (we have a large replicated environment, use lots of partitioning, etc) . I would also recommend you at least take a PeopleTools course or one of the administration courses mentioned by Joan so you understand how Peoplesoft stores and uses metadata.As far as book recommendations the only decent book that I have is the Peoplesoft Administrator's Guide by Darrell Bilbrey which is good for someone new to Peoplesoft. We really do most of the normal functions that any DBA would do regardless of Peoplesoft. Database still has to be backed up, tuned, and maintained like any other Oracle database - I consider myself to be an Oracle/Peoplesoft DBA, not a Peoplesoft/Oracle DBA if that helps you any.

RE: partial restore of a database
Sorry for the late response, you probably are long done with your partial restore - but I'll add my $0.2 cents to the discussion: When I have done these partial restores I have limited my create controlfile script to only system, rollback, and the tablespaces I wanted. I have ONLY had success when I have listed the SYSTEM and ROLLBACK datafiles FIRST in the create controlfile script - I have gotten 600 errors otherwise - just my experience. Roll the database forward, open it, and pull out what you need I usually build a DB link and copy the data to another database rather than exporting it. I don't drop the datafiles I don't need - just let them get marked as missing. This is obviously a *very* temporary database and after I get what I need I blow it up. I'm sure there are other methods of doing this - this works for me.

disk subsystem performance question
Hi all, We are running both a Hitachi 7700E and a 9960 disk subsystem here and we are getting ready to move our production DBs from the old(7700E) to the new(9960) Hitachi. We have had trouble in the past on the 7700E due to disk contention and layout, i.e. we weren't striped across the array groups very well this caused pretty poor I/O performance.This has been a learning experience for the DBAs and the SAs here for the logical vs. physical aspects of our disks. Anyway, to make a long story short, we are ordering disk for the move to the 9960 and we have 2 choices in disk sizes - 18GB and 73GB, and 2 choices in RAID - 1+0 and 5. I would like to get the smaller, faster 18GB drives in a RAID 1+0 configuration and stripe our data across the array groups as wide as possible. However, I am running into objections from the Hitachi people that their system is s fast we need not worry about such minor details. I'm having a hard time believing that given our I/O problems on the 7700E. Performance is given a high priority here. What I would like to know is others' experience with disk subsystems - specifically Hitachi but EMC and others as well have you been able to throw the disk in and forget it or have you had success in getting to the dirty details? Have you tested or noticed an improvement with smaller, faster drives in a disk subsystem like the Hitachi or have you traveled that path and found no noticeable improvement? I'm looking for either a) ammunition that my view is correct, or b) I'm wrong and we can get bigger drives which will make Enterprise Planning very happy from a $$$ standpoint because our Hitachi capacity will last longer. We are running Oracle 8.1.7 / AIX 4.3.3 / Peoplesoft Financials version 8. 2 production databases , one 400 GB and the other about 1TB. We've got some other production DBs but these are our big guys. Thanks in advance for any and all input - any help is greatly appreciated. I'd be happy to share any info we have found up to this point and our experiences on the 7700E as well if anyone is interested - despite the fact I will probably bore you to death :-) John Dailey Oracle DBA ING Americas - Application Services Atlanta, GA -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: 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: disk subsystem performance question
Thanks for all the replies. We are determined to lay out the data as well as we can across the disks we are about to purchase - with the goal of striping across array groups and smaller, faster drives. The real argument for us is 18GB vs. 73GB disk drives and how we can stripe. The Hitachi is configured into groups of 4 physical disks called parity groups and you can choose RAID 5 or RAID 1+0 for that 4 disk set.If you have 73GB drives in a 4-disk RAID 5 configuration you get roughly 219GB of usable space in each parity group (this is what we are being told is the best option for us).This means our heavily concurrently accessed 400GB production database goes on 2 parity groups (2 sets of 4 disks). To me, this sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen and we are trying to stop it.The 18GB drives are less capacity but we can get ourselves spread over more parity groups for better concurrency. We do have about 10GB of cache but it is being shared across the enterprise with various other applications. We as a DBA group are really trying to sell the 18GB RAID 1+0 drive solution especially after reading the groups' experiences - unfortunately we are fighting a lot of marketing hype. If anyone has additional experiences or feedback with Hitachi or EMC they would like to share or comments (agree/disagree) with my thoughts, I'd love to hear them. I'm open for learning!

Nobody's disk subsystem is so fast that no intelligence is required in the layout. This is common vendor blather and one of the most popular myths. I have been hearing it for at least six years - and it still isn't true. Layout still makes a huge difference. RAID levels still make a huge difference. Cache won't solve all your problems (it does help though).

recovery scenario - partial database - help
OK we had some data deleted from our production database and reporting database that shouldn't have been deleted. We want to take from the most recent backup the 3 tablespaces affected by the delete and the system tablespace and restore those files to a temporary database with a backup controlfile so we can pull the data we need out. We have stripped the other files from the controlfile creation script. We are getting a 600 error when we attempt to create the controlfile - we have 2 DBAs here who have successfully completed this scenario in the past but we are stifled by the 600 error this time around. Oracle Support is saying we can't do this anymore in 8.1.7 we aren't so sure. Can anyone think of something we are missing?Anyone performed this operation before? Restoring from the full backup is an option but it is our last one due to the size and time required to do this. Oracle 8.1.7.0 AIX 4.3.3 Any and all help is welcomed - thanks!

Re: Perf tuning OPTIMIZER_INDEX_COST_ADJ
Rich, It sounds like you just started your instance up not too long ago the statistics in v$system_event are going to be badly skewed. I'd definitely wait for some period of time to allow for more usable statistics to build.Remember, each time you bounce the instance you are going to reset the wait stats. Since your scattered read time is so high I'd look to the actual # of waits compared to the rest of your events it is probably very low. If this database HAS been up for a while and you do a lot of full table scans, you probably have an I/O throughput or data distribution problem causing such high average times. It's hard to make much of a determination based off a newly started instance. On a related note, I read the same white paper a while back and messed around with the parameters a little and took some timings it didn't help us too much here (marginal improvement for a few major queries I tested it against). I can give you more details if you are interested. I really didn't give it a full workout though; I'm sure it is useful in the right environment. We are on 8.0.5 and AIX 4.3.3. I'd say tune the SQL as best as you can before you touch these parameters. You'll get more bang for your buck and I'm sure there's lots of queries that ran good under RBO that are suddenly going to be dogs in CBO and vice-versa. Good old-fashioned tuning fun!

The guide, by Tim Gorman of evdbt.com, explained that it's default value is 100 (percent), but should probably be in the 10-50 range for OLTP systems. It recommended using the following query as a guideline to set this: SELECT event, average_wait FROM v$system_event WHERE event LIKE 'db file s%read'; ...and to take the ratio of db file sequential read to db file scattered read as a value for OPTIMIZER_INDEX_COST_ADJ. That may be fine for most systems, but our ratio is around .08%. No, it's not 8% -- and it's not a decimal problem. I'm getting this: db file sequential read1.83687542789106 db file scattered read 2151.12743289383 I'm reasonably certain that the seemingly outrageous 2151.127 is due to our use of HP's AutoRAID (SLOWW!) -- we won't be getting one in our next box. So, I'm a little skiddish about changing the default value from 100 to 1 or even 10, based on the above query alone. The scattered read average wait seems to be dropping steadily (it's now down to ~1900 over a period of 14 hours), so I'm trying to provide a good value for this parm without adversely affecting the optimizer.

Re: Batch updates
Sean, perhaps I am missing something from your question, but this sounds like a job for Oracle Lite (whatever name the marketing folks call it now, it used to be Oracle Lite anyway). I had an environment similar to your scenario engineers in the field would use their laptops all day scanning assets, etc. and then upload at night. They had a custom application on their machine and it used the Oracle Lite platform with a small database. This db was then synched over dialup each night with the enterprise DB, then in the morning they dialed up and got the work orders for the day.There were PL/SQL packages to check for integrity, etc. Obviously, the next logical extension to this project could have been using the Oracle Lite DB for Palms. In any case, look at the Oracle Lite product for this functionality... it may be just what you need.

Re: initsid.ora problem
Hey Ron I believe the name of that init parameter is LOG_CHECKPOINTS_TO_ALERT (notice the S) and it will record checkpoints in the alert file. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Another way to get some ideas about your checkpoints is v$sysstat. Keep in mind however a checkpoint can occur without a log switch but not vice-versa.A log switch has an implicit checkpoint within it, but if you have checkpoints between log switches you will get more checkpoints in your alert file than log switches.

RE: changing passwords - Boneheads at MetaStink
Doug, not to butt in on this thread, but you can do this by placing a "wrapper" around the jobs w/ another dbms_job. Create a table called PERFORMANCE_STATS or something and create a new procedure for each job that inserts the sysdate (begin time) into the table, runs the job you want to run, then inserts the sysdate again (end time) into the table. I've used this before w/ great success. Sorry, I'm about ot leave for the day, so I couldn't be more precise. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be more specific.

Anyway I sent them a query on saving how long a job running under DBMS_JOB takes. All I got for a reply was that "they don't keep that data in the database". Duh, I knew that, the question was how do I catch keep it. Basically I replied that I wanted to put a on update trigger on sys.job$ as "PL/SQL stuff". Finally someone replied that you could not do that due to startup issues. That's where it got left, real smart. I'm now working on a package to do it for me.

RE: Oracle Lite and Palm Synchronization
Dave, we played around w/ this setup for a while here at my client, but they ultimately decided to go in a different direction (complexity, cost issues). We were trying to push sales and pricing data out to the field. I would have liked to have implemented this just for the hell of it. Anyway, it was my experience w/ Metalink and several other sources that the documentation for Oracle Lite is incorrect and they are no longer supporting HotSync methods of replication in the latest version of Oracle Lite. However, I'd check more if I were you; even Oracle seemed confused about this (not a good sign IMHO as I got conflicting answers).I think you will have to setup a RAS server and use the HTTP transport method w/ Oracle Application Server or Web-to-Go. When the client made the decision I didn't explore further due to time restraints. Since I am by no means an expert on this, perhaps someone else can shed some more light on the subject.

list of common ORA errors users get
Hi again List... hope everyone is having a pleasant afternoon/evening/morning: I'm looking for a list of common questions about Oracle errors that end-users might encounter. For example, basic stuff like "no listener", "Archiver error", "Oracle not available", "max # of extents reached", etc, etc. What I'm looking for is a decent list I can use to help me set up a help desk support site for my client. We are pretty much building the DBA group from the ground up here.If I had a nice list, I could put that in their current help desk support software so the users could route their specific requests and error messages to the DBA group (So we can ignore them properly) :-) . Does anyone know of or can point me to such a list? I know I could put on my thinking cap and make a list, but I'm really pressed for time (who isn't) and don't want to re-invent the wheel if I don't have to. Besides, I'm enjoying the hilarious commentary on Metalink's woes too much. I'd eventually like to have an auto-response email that says: "don't bother me, I'm busy... open up FDISK in a DOS Window and delete all your partitions" sent out to answer each request, but I'll save that functionality for later :-) TIA John Dailey, MCSE/MCP+I Consultant Concept Solutions, LLC *Your Business Intelligence Partner* www.concept-solutions.com -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: John Dailey 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: ORA-00059: maximum number of DB_FILES exceeded
Hi Charlie... the parameter DB_FILES is set in the init file... you have to bounce the instance after you increase it. The parameter you are thinking of is MAXDATAFILES which is in the control file. And you are correct; you would need to ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE, edit that MAXDATAFILES parameter, and recreate the controlfile if it were exceeded. Sounds like you just need to change DB_FILES though considering your error. DB_FILES and MAXDATAFILES can be different; might generate the trace file anyway just to check that the MAXDATAFILES setting is ok. I don't know of any other way to check it; somebody else may have a better method. BTW... is San Diego still as sunny as ever?
