  The line breaks 
  get removed from *incoming* mail, so I don't think it matters what your 
  default new mail format is.  I think its a new 'feature' in Outlook 
  2003 - I found this quote in the 'Whats new in Microsoft Office' in 
  online help: -
  
  Extra line breaks automatically removed in messages   
  Sometimes plain text messages that travel over the Internet acquire extra line 
  breaks that make the message difficult to read. Outlook automatically removes 
  the extra line breaks so it's easier to read the message.

  Its something 
  to do with outlook removing line breaks and thereby mangling the 
  formatting of the command.  In my Outlook, there is a message in the 
  header of the mail saying something like 'Extra line breaks in this 
  message were removed.  To restore click here.'  When I did click 
  there and replied the subscription went through okay.  
  
   
  What on 
  earth lookout is doing removing line breaks I'm not sure.  How does 
  it decide which line breaks to remove?  I couldn't find any way of 
  stopping it doing this. 
   
  well, it looks to me as if 
  you're using HTML and/or Word for your email, and Outlook in it's infinite 
  wisdom replaces line brakes with  or whatever the hell Word 
  uses.  as to stopping it, i have no 
  idea.

While perusing the HOTSOS site, I noticed that the deadline for the

you're thinking of going, you may want to check it out.

Along those same lines, how many listers will be there?

RE: Opinions sought on possible TOAD replacement

FYI...  Golden is a query tool (and a damn good one)...  In my 
opinion, it's what SQL Worksheet should be...  Simple to use and 
fast...  The PL/SQL editor from Benthic is separate tool called 
PLEdit...  It's ok but not great...  Like Golden it is quick and 
simple...  But, if you are looking for advanced functionality then I would 
definitely go with another solution...  I took a peek at PL/SQL Developer a 
few months ago and thought it was a nice tool...  Especially for the 
price...  That being said, I use PLEdit for my own use...  I buy 
my own tools and don't do enough to justify the cost...

  Management have been grumbling about the cost of TOAD Professional 
  licenses, and have been "recommended" a cheaper product called PL/SQL 
  Developer by Allround Automations (available from Inthink Corporation at 
  $150 a pop). Now, I've been to the product website, and read up on all its 
  features, and it basically looks like a nice enough product, but aimed 
  squarely at PL/SQL developers, rather than including all the DBA-oriented 
  goodies we find in TOAD. My first reaction is to respond by saying "fine, 
  give it to the developers to replace their copies of TOAD, if they find it 
  adequate for development, but it's not a DBA tool, so I'll keep my TOAD 
  Xpert with DBA module, thanks very much!".
   
  But if anyone on the list has tried both products, I'd be 
  interested to know what you think. Is it as usable as TOAD Professional 
  for developers? Does it have hidden charms which would make it a suitable 
  replacement for DBA use? How responsive are the product developers to 
  requests for enhancements? Any input is very welcome!

I just passed the Net8 Administration OCP exam. This was my last exam, so I
suppose I am now an OCP for Oracle8i.
   Thanks to everyone for their helpful tips. Some people said (or implied)
that this is a very easy exam. I would dispute that. I found it just like
the other exams, in that if you have quite a bit of on-the-job experience in
the area, then it is easy. If not, you'll have to study more. In my case, 
   - I don't like networking, and hate to drop everything to configure or
debug someone's tnsnames.ora file.
   - Never had an Oracle networking class.
   - Our site has only needed local naming, so that is pretty much all my
networking experience. Found all the questions related to local naming
pretty easy. Never used Oracle Names, Connection Manager, MTS, Advanced
Security. With the trend toward application servers with their connection
pooling feature, I don't foresee us using any of those Oracle tools. I may
need to use LDAP in the future, but that wasn't covered in the Oracle8i Net8
exam
My goal was just to study and practice enough to practice the exam, and I
accomplished the goal. Not a very lofty goal, but sometimes you do what you
gotta do. Thanks everyone for the helpful suggestions.

Babu - I created a 32K block size database on Solaris. What is the issue?
 
Jake - We are doing the same. Nothing big to report. In our case we saw this
coming so we hadn't put any resources in the T64 in several years. The new
Solaris system has newer technology, so it really screams. I had asked list
members for suggestions on rapid data movement to reduce downtime. It turns
out the new box can actually import much faster than the old box can export.

We moved from a T64 (ES40 4 CPU) to a Sun (6800 2 blades 8 CPU) recently.
There were no problems with the export/import of the 1/2 TB database.
 
One big thing was that the max block size on Sun for 8174 is 16K. We had
used 32K on T64. So we had to rethink our multi_block_read_counts, etc. FTS
became kind of slower but I cant say it was due to this move. We were
undertaking a big change that time anyway and we tuned the SQL to get a
better performance.
 
One another thing to keep in mind is are you going to change the underlying
filesystem also - meaning are you planning to move from Compaq Storage Works
to some other ? We did that (moved from StorageWorks to Hitachi) and took a
performance beating initially. The problem was due to a misconfiguration on
the Hitachi side and once the rectified it it has become acceptable. Still I
dont see the IO rates the StorageWorks used to deliver..  :-(

Hi Brad,

This one caught me off guard too.

You are right in that it was *originally* 12/31/2003.

However, check out Metalink Note 148054.1, dated 10/09/2003.

The extension is noted there.

Melanie

  There are no messages in the alert or trace logs.  Nothing in the

Hey good to see you back again Lee.

The big change here is that all Oracle knowledge has been cyber-engineered
into an automoton called Tanel Poder.
Any query to the list is routed by a big fast connection into a huge server
with hundreds of CPU's and unlimited memory

An almost instantaneous reply is automatically generated , often complete
with complex examples and code cuts to demonstrate the point.
The best part is that is that the machine is programmed to exibit almost
humanistic type responses (occasionally)

I'm back in the land of the living after spending a year on a DB2 EEE

Does anybody know how to trigger a 'benign' ORA-600 so I can test

Sir Visser,

It would be my honour to enroll you in the BAARF party as party member # 
43 if you like.

Also, if you enroll, I'll send you the whole BAARF.zip file (33 K) which 
contains the story, the dialogues, and the song texts of the BAARF 
musical which we'll do at the Database Forum Gala Dinner on Friday night.

But only if you promise me to give me harsh critique in return!

And that goes for all you other members (or possible members) of the 
BAARF Party, too. Except, of course, the ones going to the Database 
Forum. They'll have to wait.

Not sure I agree with the last statement...  I think it is on topic...  Many
of us DBA types are often involved in these kinds of discussions internally
and the more informed we are the better off we are...  It gives more
credibility to our arguments and allows us to make more informed
decisions...

Thanks for the information!

Tom has a NEW, different book out, from Oracle Press. That is the one
Cary is referring to. Which means you'll have to buy a new book.

As for Cary's book, I have it on order at Amazon as well, but according
to the site today, it's still not released. :(

      Well, I'll be a little more forgiving than Raj has 
  been.  Basically MicroSoft is just the "pot calling the kettle 
  black".  
   
      On the issue of price, well yes MicroSoft does have 
  an edge, but that's just how they've eliminated all of their other competition 
  over the years.  The product does not cost less than Oracle or DB2, it's 
  just that MicroSoft can leverage the tremendous amounts of cash they have to 
  offset the giveaway they're into.  I believe that was one of the points 
  of the Antitrust suit they were embroiled in.  
   
      On RAC they really have a long way to 
  go.  If you want to do a federated database setup like 
  MicroSoft states, just buy standard edition Oracle licenses & toss in a 
  pile of database links.  Works the same way & you don't have to pay 
  extra for it.  The whole idea of RAC is that when one node dies, for 
  whatever reason, the data that node was hosting is not offline till you get it 
  repaired. And actually you really do not need to do anything to your 
  application to take advantage of RAC, except adjust your error handling to 
  understand that a transaction needed to be resubmitted.
   
      Overall I think MicroSoft's Achilles heel is 
  Windows.  Their a one OS horse. Oracle is a multi OS horse that runs the 
  same whatever the platform.  And BTW, Oracle runs RAC on Red Hat without 
  any additional software, never mind that it runs on Linux in the first 
  place.  Similar things can also be said for DB2, Sybase, and 
  Informix.  When, if ever, Microsoft has a version of Sql*Server that runs 
  as multiple independent processes on Linux then I'll give them a second 
  look.  As long as their a single multi-threaded Windows only process they 
  can stay in Redmond.  Also, yes they are the "fastest growing" database 
  on the market, take a look at that copy of Windows 2000 Advanced Server you've 
  got.  There's a copy of Sql*Server 2000 in there, and you can't uninstall 
  it.  Billy G is still up to his old tricks.  The only solution to 
  MicroSoft is forced divestiture.  Too bad that judge could not stand up 
  to King George.

RE: Partitions of table read only

2003-06-19 Thread Johnston, Tim
Ah...  That's why the example helps... The text above the example is unclear
but the example is a little bit better...




"If you find it is taking a long time for the tablespace to quiesce, it is
possible to identify the transactions which are preventing the read-only
state from taking effect. The owners of these transactions can be notified
and a decision can be made to terminate the transactions, if necessary. The
following example illustrates how you might identify the blocking
transactions. 

Identify the transaction entry for the ALTER TABLESPACE...READ ONLY
statement. 

SELECT sql_text, saddr 
FROM v$sqlarea,v$session
WHERE v$sqlarea.address = v$session.sql_address
AND sql_text like 'alter tablespace%'; 

SQL_TEXT SADDR   
 
alter tablespace tbs1 read only  80034AF0


The start SCN of each active transaction is stored in the V$TRANSACTION
view. Displaying this view sorted by ascending start SCN lists the
transactions in execution order. Knowing the transaction entry for the
read-only statement, it can be located in the V$TRANSACTION view. All
transactions with lesser or equal start SCN can potentially hold up the
quiesce and subsequent read-only state of the tablespace. 

SELECT ses_addr, start_scnb 
FROM v$transaction
ORDER BY start_scnb;

SES_ADDR START_SCNB
 --
800352A0   3621   --> waiting on this txn
80035A50   3623   --> waiting on this txn
80034AF0   3628   --> this is the ALTER TABLESPACE statement
80037910   3629   --> don't care about this txn


After making the tablespace read-only, it is advisable to back it up
immediately. As long as the tablespace remains read-only, no further backups
of the tablespace are necessary since no changes can be made to it."




Notice it says "All transactions with lesser or equal start SCN can
potentially hold up the quiesce and subsequent read-only state of the
tablespace"...  Not just the transactions against that tablespace...  And,
they are checking all entries in v$transaction...


On the other hand, you can still alter tablespaces to read only even though
your system is busy...  The point is that the command will hang until all
transactions that started before your alter command finish...  Maybe this is
a better way...

1) tx1 starts at time t1
2) You alter tablespace tbsp1 to read only at t2 (it hangs)
3) tx2 starts at time t3 and does not go against tbsp1
4) tx3 starts at time t4 and does go against tbsp1 (it fails since tbsp1 is
in transitional read only)
5) tx1 completes
6) The alter to read only can not complete since tx1 was the only
transaction that started before it

Better?

The admin guide doesn't say "no transactions in the database". In fact,
it specifically says in the tablespace:

" You do not have to wait for transactions to complete before issuing
the ALTER TABLESPACE...READ ONLY statement. When the statement is
issued, the target tablespace goes into a transitional read-only mode
in which no further DML statements are allowed, though existing
transactions that modified the tablespace will be allowed to commit or
rollback. Once this occurs, the tablespace is quiesced, with respect to
active transactions."

There were other transactions in the database, but none affecting that
tablespace.

The concepts guide is somewhat ambiguous and could be read either as
"in the database" or "against the tablespace" since it isn't specified.


Have I mentioned lately that I hate the docs?  :)

Not on

temporary tablespaces and these can "bite you" if you are not

RE: DBMS_STATS

2003-02-25 Thread Johnston, Tim
To expand on this, the action level is controlled by the granularity
parameter...

Granularity of statistics to collect (only pertinent if the table is
partitioned). 

DEFAULT: Gather global- and partition-level statistics. 

SUBPARTITION: Gather subpartition-level statistics. 

PARTITION: Gather partition-level statistics. 

GLOBAL: Gather global statistics. 


So, in you case, run the following...

execute dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname => 'LDGADMIN', -
  tabname => 'LOG_TRANS', -
  partname => 'LOG_TRANS_20030102',
  estimate_percent => 5,
  granularity => 'PARTITION');

See the supplied package reference for more details...

Tim

-Original Message-
Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 4:50 PM
To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L



The default action of dbms_stats against
a single partition of a partitioned table is
much more aggressive than a simple
analyze of the partition.

At the least, it does a similar analyze of
the whole table in order to maintain the
global table statistics - you need to set
the granularity of the analyze to stop this
happening.

On a quick test, with sql_trace turned on
and using 9.2.0.2, your choice of parameters
gave me:

Two 5% analyzes of the specified partition,
with a small difference relating to one longish
varchar() column.

One 5% analyze of the whole table.

One 50% analyze of the whole table - restricted
to a much smaller process of a subset of the columns
that omitted the one longish varchar() column.

Not necessarily.  If you're backing up vxfs with Veritas Netbackup
and also have someother component from Veritas that I can't recall
at the moment, filesystem incrementals are made at the FS block level.

You only backup new blocks, or blocks that have been touched.

  [new info] Redhat Advanced Server Dev Edition - 
  RACThanks, Mark. Any email helps. Wherever I've taught a 
  class around the world while I was still with Oracle, or later after doing the 
  Miracle thing, I've always given out my email address and phone numbers to 
  everybody in the room - and on average have received two emails even when I 
  was presenting for 100 people. But the Unix SIG meeting in London 
  changed that. I've gotten about 7 or 8 mails from the 110 attendees there, so 
  I'm feeling like a rock star right now...RAC is on sale (at least in 
  the US) currently, which means it only costs 25% on top of EE instead of the 
  normal 50%.But if you're paying $60K (or perhaps only $50K :) ) per 
  CPU for Oracle, why is it important to have extremely cheap hardware to run 
  it? Why would you want to run very expensive software on very cheap hardware? 
  Yes, the total price will go down, but just like when we're looking at 
  databases and try to find where the time goes, we might here want to look at 
  where the money goes and then try to cut the cost by looking at, say, the most 
  expensive part of the configuration first :).One important thing to 
  realise is that Oracle is selling this and managers and directors are buying 
  it, while many DBA's and system admins are asking the right questions (to 
  absolutely no avail), namely: Why? Are there cheaper and/or simpler and/or 
  better alternatives to our real needs here? The dream of having all those 
  wonderful things (HA, scaling, workload partitioning, happier marriages, more 
  uniforms, faster cars, and such) is easily sold to the political levels but 
  not to the twisted and bitter old men and women in the technical world. 
  The result is of course that RAC will pop up here and there and 
  perhaps one day everywhere.But RAC, clusters, CFS, what have you, all 
  make the environments even more complex. Which is good for me, since I run a 
  high-end consulting outfit. Should be good for all of us. But then we all have 
  to stop questioning the wisdom of buying and implementing RAC and instead 
  endorse it every time we get the chance.The only downside I can think 
  of is that if all the techies start shouting "We will, we will, RAC you" and 
  "RAC over Bethoven" everywhere and at all times, managers and directors might 
  think that RAC is some kind of nerdy thing that they'd better stay away from. 
  Action and reaction.Best regards,MogensMark 
  Leith wrote:
  I heard Mogens talk about this at the UKOUG Unix SIG in London at the end of
last month ("You Probably Don't Need RAC, or: pRos And Cons"). It was truly
an eye opener! The upshot was, if you don't have a requirement to be up from
a failure within 5 minutes, then you don't need RAC. As has already been
pointed out, in the case of a SAN failure, then even this may not count.

Mogens also mentioned some pretty interesting up time statistics. A single
Unix box can have an availability of 99.9%. A two node Unix cluster has an
availability of 98% (due to software patching/upgrades). There is also still
a "brown out" period with RAC when a node fails, whilst the other node or
nodes play "catch up" to re-assign the resources and recover any work that
the failed node was doing at the point of failure.

Of course, there are also pros to having RAC, workload partitioning (running
batch on one node, OLTP type work on another), you can scale your CPUs as
and when the increase is needed.

There seemed to be far more cons than pros imo though. Mogens goes through a
lot more in his talk, it is certainly worth your time! It certainly helps to
widen your perspective from the constant marketing jargon ;)

I really must remember to send Mogens an email, he loves email, send it to
him directly, I'm sure he'll be ecstatic! :D

This is all cool technology, and fun stuff to play with.

It all begs the questions,

"How many of us work for a business that actually need this?"

"Are they willing to pay $400/user $20k/CPU above the cost
of Oracle 9i EE to use it?"

"Are they willing to pay the extra overhead required to maintain it?"

I'm not sure the ROI is there for many of us.  Though downtime
at our business is somewhat expensive, I think that a failover
system or even standby database will provide adequate coverage
for us, which is indeed a hot topic he

We have been using SQLBacktrack to backup our databases on Unix and NT for
several years.  We have been VERY please with the product.  We have a
mixture of Oracle 8.1.7 and 7.3.4 databases.  We are being pushed to use
RMAN because it is free.  Does anyone have any experience with both and be
willing to share their experiences?

Hi All,

We have experienced a *very* slow connect time to a 9.0.1 database via
SQL*Plus (and other apps as well) on a Win2K machine, and I was wondering if
anybody else had experienced these slow connection times as well? We have
also been asked lately by a number of customers about slow connection times,
and to this point haven't found a solution for either ourselves or our
contacts..

It's not a network issue as connection times take just as long "locally".
Connections can take up to around a minute (and the odd occasion a couple of
minutes). No MTS is in use.

OS's that I've heard about this on are Win2K, XP and NT so I'm also
wondering if it may be a Win32 issue.

Help!

Cheers :)

RE: RE : RMAN Repository

2003-01-13 Thread Johnston, Tim
Title: RE: RE : RMAN Repository



I do 
have one scenario where you really have to use a recovery catalog...  When 
attempting to backup a VLDB that uses read only tablespaces and extremely 
infrequent backups for most of the data (i.e. a large datawarehouse), a recovery 
catalog is very important...  You just may not have the time to perform 
full backups of your multi terabyte database...  In this case, you better 
hope that the backup of your read only tablespace from 15 months ago is still 
around...  Since the CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP parameter only goes to 1 
year, you may be stuck unless you have that data in a recovery 
catalog...

AMTo: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-LSubject: RE: 
RE : RMAN Repository
If you aren't using a repository all you have to do is make 
sure control file backups are part of the routine. There are 2 ways to 
backup the backup metadata: 1) the RMAN repository database; 2) backup 
controlfiles. 
Functionally and operationally they're pretty much the same. 
The only things you can't do with controlfile RMAN/database metadata is: 1) 
use previous "incarnations" of the database for recovery; 2) use database 
stored scripts. No big deal as far as I'm concerned.
When RMAN first came out a separate repository database was 
a requirement. Subsequent releases added some functionality for using 
controlfiles. The vulnerability of losing the repository or losing the 
backup controlfile is about equivalent. The overhead of the repository 
database is more. With the initial releases of RMAN (EBU) Oracle was rightly 
criticized for the fact that you had to backup the database that holds 
information about the database you want to backup. Getting rid of this 
silliness seems reasonable to me.

Hey all,

I have a trigger that pins various packages on the startup of our 8.1.7.2.0
DB on HP/UX 11.0.  I check V$DB_OBJECT_CACHE every so often to see that it's
working and to make any necessary additions/deletions from the list of
pinned packages.

However, the SYS.DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO package currently has 836 loads off
of 97706 execs despite being successfully pinned on startup (we've only been
up for a few days due a 7445 cascade crash).  How is this possible?
Furthermore, does it do any good to pin this package?  And why?

This is sort of a repost from months ago, but I can't find it on fatcity.

RE: IOT Issues?

2002-12-13 Thread Johnston, Tim
"The first one (seen in 8.1.6 and 8.1.7) was deadlocks caused by
simultaneous SELECTs and the addition of a new partition (even though
the queries were not querying the partition). Those deadlocks were
occurring at the dictionary level - because even if an IOT is physically
a single index, logically it's still a table and a PK index. Quite
obviously, a SELECT puts a SHARE dictionary lock on both - and so does
the ALTER. The snag is that one locks the table first and the index
second, while the other does the opposite. Ouch. It may or may not be
fixed by now."

They FINALLY fixed it...  The fix is in the 8.1.7.3 patchset...  The bug
also exists in 9.2.0.1 but is fixed in the 9.2.0.2 patchset...  Bug number
is 1367114 in case you're interested...

OCI hang until TCP timeout on an established connection

2002-11-20 Thread Johnston, Tim
Hi Guys...

  I have an application with a remote client...  The client is written in
Smalltalk and connects to the database via OCI...  It establishes a
connection to the database and keeps it open...  If the network link between
the remote client and the server fails, the remote client does not realize
it until the next attempt to communicate with the database...  This is
fine...  The problem is that once it does try to communicate with the
database it waits 8 minutes after the attempt before returning the
ORA-3113...  I have done a little search and so far come up empty...  I am
hesitate to muck with the tcp parameters due to side effects (i.e.
tcp_ip_abort_interval)...  Does anyone have an idea how I can reduce the
timeout delay without changing tcp parms?  Has anyone experienced a similar
issue and solved it some other way?

Solaris 9
Oracle 9.2.0.2

Thanks in advance...

RE: CA's AutoSys

Title: RE: CA's AutoSys



I too 
had issues with this product...  But, it was several years ago...  
Back then it was owned by Platinum and the product ran on NT 3.51...  We 
were using it to schedule all our Unix batch jobs for the Sales Force Automation 
project I was working on...  Unfortunately, I was the first 
project using it at the company and had to suffer through many of the 
issues detailed below...  If I remember correctly, it eventually got to a 
"workable" state after a couple months of patches and workarounds...  
I remember one job in particular...  PSFUNX35...  Every Friday 
night/Saturday morning about 3:00 AM I would get a call from the operations 
center in Parkersburg, WV...  
 
"Hello 
Tim...  This is Jack in Parkersburg...  Sorry to bother you...  
But, PS - FUN - X35 failed again..."
 
He 
used to pronounce the job as...  PS [break] FUN [break] 
X35...  Needless to say it was not very fun...

I think this a pretty common

  I don't think the reply I sent last night made it to the 
  list. 
  We eventually traced it to the behavior of _unnest_subquery 
  parameter. Setting it to false solved the problem. This was first reported in 
  817 and supposed to be fixed in 8173 and 901 code base. Looks like the lid on 
  the "jar of bugs" is leaking ... and it made it into 920 code as 
  well.
  The biggest problem we found that the explain plan shows that 
  it doesn't even look at a major portion of the sql statement when it fails. 
  10053 trace shows that the optimizer looking at all tables involved and 
  checking for different paths, but the explain plan is not reporting all the 
  tables involved.

It's 
the oracle job queue processes...  The following is an educated

I 
think SNP originally stood for snapshot job...  When Oracle introduced 
snapshots, they needed a mechanism to schedule and run snapshot 
refreshes...  Hence the SNP background processes...  Then someone at 
Oracle decided they could externalize this mechanism and DBMS_JOB was

Your instance crashed because the lgwr died...  There should be a trace file
for lgwr in the bdump directory...  What does it say in the trace file?  Are
you having any filesystem issues?  The "LGWR: terminating instance due to

due to a bug - it seems - the following query returns an error:

SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'dd.mm.') from dual;
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'dd.mm.') from dual
 *
ERROR at line 1:

while it works fine on 8.0.5. and 8.1.6.!

does anyone know a way to change the query, so it will work on all
version and there is no need for a patch?

Is this for a job interview?

I for one, am not going to help proliferate the number of DBA's
that don't know what they're doing, when there are many available
that do.

If I'm way out of line here, then let me know, but this sure looks like
a good opportunity to recommend some RTFM.

Listers:

While I certainly appreciate the great range of experience
and knowledge 
by
the subscribers on this list, if my rudimentary knowledge is
to be 
trusted,
I think 95% of the postings are DBA type stuff.

Since I'm interested in developer questions / answers I'm
asking, again!!,
if an Oracle list exists that is developer oriented rather
than DBA
oriented.

  25-JUL-2002Problems with Datafile AUTOEXTEND/RESIZE on Oracle8i on NT/2000 Platforms ~  Change Record ~~ 27-Dec-01: The fix release in the Patches section of this alert was modified  from 8.1.7.2 to 8.1.7.3.   Versions Affected ~   The problems described here can affect releases 8.1.6 and 8.1.7.  Platforms Affected ~~   The problems affect Oracle8i releases on Windows NT and Windows 2000.  Description ~~~   Releases of Oracle8i on Windows NT and Windows 2000 platforms can exhibitserious problems when a datafile autoextends or is resized onto a 4GBboundary (e.g. 4GB, 8GB).When a datafile has been configured such that it will autoextend onto a   4GB boundary, any attempt to autoextend: a.  when in noarchive log mode it causes the database to crash b.  when in archive log mode the file is marked offline in V$RECOVER_FILEWhen not in archive log mode, it is safe to restart the database andcontinue, altering datafiles to autoextend onto different boundaries asap.NOTE: It may be necessary to stop and restart the OracleService itself.The only way to recover this file when in archive log mode is to restorethe whole database and roll forward to a point before the file autoextended.Likelihood of Occurrence    It is highly likely that problems will be encountered if an attempt is   made to autoextend or resize a datafile onto a 4Gb boundary.  Possible Symptoms ~   The possible symptoms from this problem are:a.  The database crashes (when in noarchive log mode) and the alert fileand database writer (DBW0) trace file report:   KCF: write/open error block=0xX online=Yfile=N '..'error=27069 txt: 'OSD-4026: Invalid parameter passed. (OS-204802)'b.  The file is marked offline in V$RECOVER_FILE and access to the databasecontinues. The following error appears in the alert.log:  KCF: write/open error block=0xX online=Yfile=N '..'error=27069 txt: 'OSD-4026: Invalid parameter passed. (OS-204802)'   Automatic datafile offline due to write error on file N: '..'  Workaround ~~   The only safe workaround at present is to ensure that no file is resized orcreated to autoextend onto a 4Gb boundary. This is best achieved by makingsure all datafiles have AUTOEXTEND disabled.It is advisable to read the article below which describes potentialissues using files of 2Gb or larger in size as this may influence the   maximum datafile size you choose to use.  Patches ~~~A fix is now available in 8.1.7.1.4  and will be included in8.1.7.3 References ~~   2Gb or not 2Gb - File limits in Oracle[NOTE:62427.1]   Base bug reporting this problem   [BUG:1668488]

  Hello all
   
  HELP - and I am not an idiot.
   
  Oracle 8.1.6.3.4 on NT.
   
  We have a problem that the datafile for the 
  application tables autoextended from 3.9 GB to 4.1 GB.
  We  are getting ora-01115 errors and the datafile 
  is offline.
  We tried export but it gets the same error.
   
  The status now is that the datafile is offline. 
  
  Alter datafile online 
  needs recovery. 
  Recovery gets I/O error and aborts.
   
  Anybody knows how to get the data out?
   
  As per Murphy's law, the last full backup of the 
  database ran about 2 weeks ago
  and nobody noticed that the backup job ended ok but 
  without backing up the files.
  So recovery means restoring from 2 weeks ago and 
  applying archive logs for some hours.
   
  Oracle support are sending someone with a utility that 
  MAY save the day.
   
  Any ideas ???

RE: Changing the Staus of a Database to Read Only

2002-09-27 Thread Johnston, Tim

Exactly...  I had to face this at my current job...  I have a separate alter
to read only job...  Basically, it is a script that calls a stored
procedure...  I put the script in cron to run every 12 hours...  The stored
procedure alters eligible tablespaces to read only (eligible as defined by
the product)...  If an alter to read only hangs for more then 12 hours then
the next alter to read only sends a messages (i.e. email or trap) to let you
know the condition exists...  If there are no tablespaces to alter then the
procedure simply exits...  And, since it is async then it really doesn't
matter if it hangs since it won't hold anything else up...  The only problem
is that is the database crashes while the file is pending read only, the
file needs media recovery on restart...

Thanks.  I believe that's how it works on 8.1.6 as well.  Of course if
someone has walked away without committing a  transaction then one is still
stuck.  There is also the problem of distributed queries.  If  on database
A, one selects from @B.  An entry is made into the transaction
table on  database A.  That transaction entry will stay until the session on
A which issued the  distributed query  commits. 

I can almost guarantee that at least one user will have failed to commit
when it comes to changing a tablespace  to read only, and that user will be
unreachable.

Hi Ian...

  I can tell you how it works in 8.1.7...

You can alter a tablespace to read only with transactions in the database
and the steps are as follows:

You issue the alter to read only command and it will wait for EVERY
transaction in the database that started BEFORE you issued the command to
finish before the alter is completed.  Any transaction that starts after you
issue the command is cleanly handled.  If it is on the tablespace you are
attempting to alter it will fail.  If it is on another tablespace it will
not have impact on your alter command.

i.e.

Trans 1 on Tablespace X
Trans 2 on Tablespace Y
Alter Tablespace Y to read only ( it waits )
End Trans 2
Notice Alter is still waiting
Attempt to start Trans 3 on Tablespace Y ( You will get an error )
Start Trans 4 on Tablespace X
End Trans 1
Notice Alter completes

I tried to post this in response to the "Best Practices" thread, but for
unkown reasons it didn't seem to make it.  My apologies if  this is a
repeat.

It had been  stated that placing each partition in  a separate tablespace
allowed one to make a tablespace read only once that partition would no
longer be used for  insert/update/delete operations.  I have not tried to
switch a database from online to read only after 8.1.6, but as of that
release doing so was difficult in an active database.   Oracle required not
only that there be no active transactions against the tablspace to be
converted but  no such  transactions against the entire database.

If this has changed,  when did it happen?   We have a system where the
ability to make a tablespace read only while the database is actively
processing transactions bound for other tablespaces would be extremely
useful.

RE: Another datafile sizing question

Is there a reason you can't just resize the existing file?

-Original Message-

To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L


I am in the process of upgrading our databases from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7,
possibly 9i depending on application
certifications. 

I currently have a tablespace that is made up of 4 - 200mb datafiles, my
first thought would be to
create a 800mb datafile and move all the data into it, 

The growth of this tablespace is maybe 100 to 150Mb a year, and from
what I understand all datafiles should
be the same size.  So at that point when I need another datafile, I will
have to create another 800Mb datafile.

Would that be a good practise, or should I stay with multiple
200/300/400/500 etc datafiles ?

Thanks

Hi.

A developer of mine is running a large insert as
select:

insert /* parallel hint */ into table A 
nologging 
(select * from table b where ...);

There are no indices on table A and a PK disabled.
Still that insert generates a large amount of logs.
What could be the reason for that? Any ideas? Table A
is not partitioned and has NOLOGGING attribute on the
dba_tables set to Yes.

Doesn't seem to be in message files (oerr returns nothing, neither with

They loved it...  They kept telling me how great it was but I never saw it

RE: Oracle Hungry for Money

Nope...  But, you need Enterprise in order to buy the partitioning option...
i.e. You can't buy the partitioning option for standard edition...  The
partitioning option is an extra cost item (list price is an extra $10,000 a
CPU)...  Just because it's on the Enterprise Edition CD doesn't mean that's
it's legal for you to use it...

Scott,

We also have a higher ed site liscense, isn't partitioning included in
the "Enterprise Edition"???

...JIM...

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3/13/02 1:02:33 PM >>>
Watch out!  I just got off the phone with our Oracle "sales rep".  He
was asking me if I needed information on Partitioning or OLAP for our
data warehouse project.  I told him that we are on 8.1.7, so the OLAP
option isn't available.  To keep him from going into a long speil on
Partitioning, I told him that I have already implemented that, which
is
true.
He jumped on that and told me that we aren't licensed for it.  He
followed up with sending me a quote for $23,800 to cover the fact that
we are using the option, which we didn't pay for.  I was always told
that we have a "site" license (higher ed), and he said that our
license
was purchased prior to Partioning being available, so that doesn't
count.

I'm telling everyone about this as a heads-up.  It appears that Oracle
is digging for money, and I feel that the approach that was used was
done to trick me into admitting that I had implemented the feature.

RE: Tangetially ON Topic... ANSI SQL and Reusing SQL to avoid har

2002-02-25 Thread Johnston, Tim

Hi Steve, I think Stephen might be referring to the stuff mentioned in the
eweek comparison that was posted earlier today...

http://www.eweek.com/article/0,3658,s=708&a=23115,00.asp

"MySQL 4.0.1's new, extremely fast query cache is also quite notable, as no
other database we tested had this feature. If the text of an incoming query
has a byte-for-byte match with a cached query, MySQL can retrieve the
results directly from the cache without compiling the query, getting locks
or doing index accesses. This query caching will be effective only for
tables with few updates because any table updates that clear the cache to
guarantee correct results are always returned. "

I found the following info on the MySQL site...

http://www.mysql.com/doc/Q/u/Query_Cache.html

Not really what you are looking for but it is kinda of interesting stuff...

Subject:Tangetially ON Topic... ANSI SQL and Reusing SQL to avoid
hard pa

Since V7 Oracle has improved performance by limiting hard parses and
implementing shareable, reuseable SQL via the shared pool. I'm curious what
other database engines do to limit hard parses. Does DB2, Informix, Sybase,
SQLServer, or Postgres implement shareable SQL via a "shared pool?"

Of course we know that in Oracle, shareable SQL is dependent on the use of
bind variables or cursor_sharing=FORCE. In that context, isn't the syntax
for bind variables part of the ANSI SQL92 standard?

I really need to find this out as I'm building the case for using bind
variables in an ANSI SQL, multi-database development effort.

RE: Unidata DB

2002-02-14 Thread Johnston, Tim

Ah...  It looks like it related to the IBM takeover of Informix...

UniData

UniData is an extended-relational, ODBC-compliant database that supports
repeating groups, hierarchies, and arrays. UniData offers both best-of-breed
native interfaces with ActiveX, Java and C interfaces as well as industry
standard
interfaces such as ODBC, OLEDB, and HTTP.
UniData 6.0, targeted for 2H of 2002, will include enhancements to openness,
security, robustness and scalability. This release will provide a native
JDBC
driver as well as support for XML input and output from the database engine.
Security improvements come from the added support of Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) for the HTTP and Socket interfaces as well as encryption options for
the
U2 clients. UniData 6.0 will include real-time replication functionality as
part of
the core database features as well as SQL optimization and additional data
type
support for Microsoft tool access to UniVerse. Finally, an updated Java
applet-based
administration tool will allow administration of multiple U2 systems either
through the included client or any Java-enabled web browser.

IBM intends to continue to enhance, sell and support UniData and to fulfill
Informix's intention to deliver UniData 6.0 and beyond.

  1. go to production and backup controlfile to trace 
  2. copy the cold backup (production) from last night into 
  this test instance folders (datafiles, controlfiles...) 3. copy archive logs of production to archive log folders from

  5. create new controlfile with backuped controlfile from 
  trace 6. recover database until '-dd-mm

  My question is, if I make a clone of a database from a

  We referred the auditing option. My understanding is that 
  you can track the oracle users using database auditing feature once the 
  users are logged into the database. 
  But my requirement is to track the users who tried to 
  login to the database but could not login due to wrong password. 
  
  For example, somebody may know the connect string for an

  users.

Naveen and others,

Does this email appear to be completely unformatted to anyone else?

Just wondering if it was formatted when sent, or if this happened along
the way, or is it just me?

I'm not likely to respond to something this difficult to read, and I'm just
wondering if there's a remedy to this.

I've noticed at times that I may send a carefully formatted post only to 
have it appear rather messy on the list.  This most often happens to 
email I send from work using Lotus Notes.

Here at home I use KDE Kmail, which is much easier to configure than Lotus.

Sorry for the intrusion, but this appeared to be an interesting topic, and 
it's rather tedious to format these so I can read them.  I can't be the only
one that recieves mail looking like this.

Thanks,

You are completely correct...  I read his original questions as "Can a

shrink CAN cause a ORA-1555 in the correct set of circumstances...  A shrink

but the rollback segment could be shrunk to optimal in the course of
Oracle going about its business in the database (say another user is
assigned to that rollback segment and needs to extend, Oracle will
first shrink it before extending).

and if no one is accessing the data in the rollback segment that is
being shrunk then it won't cause an ora-1555 at all.

so you can't really say that a shrink will cause an ora-1555. There's
more to the cause of the ora-1555 than just shrinking the rollback
segment

testing 

if the initial extent*min_extents is less than the optimal, yes you can
shrink below optimal.

if initial*minextents = optimal, you can execute an alter rollback
segment statement that lists a shrink size that is less than optimal
AND less than initial*minextents and it will not fail. But if you LOOK
at the size it shrinks to, it's initial*minextents.

so you can "kinda" shrink below optimal, the statement won't fail, but
Oracle will ignore the number you give it.

RE: Oracle shadow process

2002-01-30 Thread Johnston, Tim

The problem is that top reports the ENTIRE shared memory segment in EVERY
process...  For example...  If your shared memory segment is 300M and top
reports memory usage of 320-340M per process...  You are in reality using
about 20-40M of private memory in each process and 300M of shared memory...
But, shared memory is only allocated once...

i.e.

Shared memory segment of 300M

 top reportsshared memory  private usage by process
process1 320M   300M20M
process2 330M   300M30M
process3 320M   300M20M
process4 340M   300M40M

So...  Your total memory usage is...

20M + 30M + 20M + 40M + 300M = 410M

Not...

320M + 330M + 320M + 340M = 1310M

Does that help explain it?

Tim

I am sorry I did not specify the os. We are using
solaris 2.8 and We are using top utility to look at
the oracle user process. As far as I know, ipcs -ma
will give me  the size of the entire memory segment. I
am trying to find the values for each user
connection..

Thanks
Sonia P.



  Unix I assume?  How are you determining the memory
usage?  Many unix
utilities can be misleading (i.e top) and report the
shared memory segment
in each process...  Check ipcs -ma to see the size of
the shared memory
segment...

Hello All,
How does oracle allocate memory to oracle shadow
process (client). eg. oracleORCL
(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=no
)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=BEQ))).

I have dedicated connections to the databases and the
processes are using 320M-340M of memory. Is there any
parameter I can change to reduce the memory allocation
to about 30M or less. 

Current value for Sort area size value is 65536. 


Thanks

RE: e: deleting a datafile on OPS

2002-01-29 Thread Johnston, Tim

But, "offline" and "removed from the system" are two different things...
You are correct that your datafile is offline...  That just means that it is
unavailable for use...  But, it is still part of your database...  The DROP
keyword does not mean that the datafile is removed from the system...  It is
a special keyword that allows you to offline a datafile while running in
NOARCHIVELOG...  If you check v$datafile you should see that the file is in
a status of offline or recover..  I'm not 100% sure what happens when you
offline drop but I think you may have to recover the datafile ( you have the
archive logs right? ) before you can bring it online...  If it was offlined
normal, you should be able to bring it online without recovery...  But, you
should be able to figure that out by the status in v$datafile...
v$recover_file is also handy...  So, once you know you can bring it online,
you can rename it to what you wish and bring it online...

Good Luck
Tim

Hello Jared et al,

The Oracle Reference Manual for 8i, "schematic diagram" has alter database
 '' offline drop, so that's what I tried (as system).
The system came back, 'database altered', but a check of dba_data_files
shows that the datafile (#115) is still there. The dba_extents lists no rows
selected if I query on bytes where file# = 115, so taking the datafile
offline as soon as I realized my error was successful in keepin any user
data written to the datafile.

You can't safely drop a datafile from the database.

When you say 'According to Oracle, I should be able to drop a datafile
at has no data written to it', do you have a reference where we can
see that. It does not sound familiar to me.

Per your situation, since you have the datafile offline, just 
rename it via 'alter database  rename file..',
then put it back online.

RE: RMAN problem

Had you performed a resetlogs between the cold backup and your recovery?
What does "list incarnation of database" produce...  It sounds to me like
you changed the database incarnation between your cold backup and now...  If
that is the case, I think you can use the "reset database to incarnation
"...

Hi,

On 8.1.7.2 (soon to be .3) on HP/UX 11.0, a developer needs to get the top
parent associated with a lower level row.  Expanding on Oracle's EMP
example:

EMP MGR LEVEL
King1
Greenberg   King2
Faviet  Greenberg   3
ChenGreenberg   3
Sciarra 1
Urman   Sciarra 2
PoppUrman   3
Jesse   Urman   3

...I need to know that the top-level manager for "Jesse" is "Sciarra".  In
our live data, however, we currently have 9 levels (engineering
bill-of-materials) and there is no set maximum for levels.

Anyone have an idea how to return:
Jesse   Urman   Sciarra 3

...for this?  The START WITH...CONNECT BY can only give the PRIOR manager
and not the top level.

TIA!

  Often, it isn't all that easy to find what you 
  need in "the manual". I have a enough Oracle books to make the springs in my 
  car sag, and sometimes, the answer just isn't there.  Mostly yes, 
  but sometimes no.  Usually, I have to go through 3 or 4 books before I 
  find an answer I can use. So, if the poor listee only has one or two books, 
  perhaps he doesn't have one that has the answer.  Maybe you senior,

Hi Ron...

I found some info in the reference guide...

PSTUBTBL 
This table contains information on stubs generated by the PSTUB utility so
that an Oracle Forms 3.0 client can call stored procedures in an Oracle
database. 



Note: 
The contents of this table are intended only for use by the PSTUB utility.  



I only found a couple references to user_privs...  Looks like it was
eliminated...  I found it mentioned on a couple web pages...  I also found
out that there appears to be a view named user_privs created by older
pupbld.sql...  It was based on the user_profile table...

JoJo...
 
  
You're missing the point...  Most people have no issue with helping another 
list member...  But, some members abuse this help and consistent ask 
questions that could be found in the manual without even attempting to find 
it...  The list member in question has consistently asked questions of this 
nature for the last few MONTHS...  Many times other list 
members have given the answer and then pointed at the manual where the 
information is found...  Instead of looking at the manual before asking the 
next question, the abuser will immediately ask another question... And 
so on... And so on... And so on...  After awhile, this gets 
frustrating...  Personally, I do not reply to this list member due to his 
behavior...  And I won't until he starts saying things like...  
"I looked in this manual and read this part but I don't understand it"  or 
"What manual should I look in to get this answer"...  I guess what I am 
trying to say is that there is a history established with a list member 
such as this that you are probably not aware of...  People are frustrated 
and it is showing...
