RE: Replication question

2002-06-21 Thread Lowes, Harry (NESL-IT)

Peter,

Great idea, but would you care to share the impact of these triggers on
performance? I think it's a good principle to follow, but have always found
triggers a little unwieldy for most operations myself. I would have thought
this to be the case here, but I'd like to hear your experiences on the
subject.


Thanks awfully,

Harry Lowes

Interesting comments on replication - but something hit me between the eyes.

Primary Keys should NEVER, EVER be permitted to be updated, whether you are
using replication or not. Its a basic tenent of relational design. We have
been using triggers to prevent this for years.

RE: another listener.ora

2002-04-04 Thread Lowes, Harry (NESL-IT)

Morning,
 
The listener starts using the file listener.ora in the directory pointed to
by the environment variable TNS_ADMIN. By default this is set to
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin or $ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin depending on the
Oracle version (%ORACLE_HOME%\net... on Windows). You can set the TNS_ADMIN
environment variable manually to point to another directory on the server,
and the lsnrctl utility will use the listener.ora file there instead of the
default. You will have to use a different listener name, however, and some
programs called by the listener appear to only run one per platform (e.g.
EXTPROC).

URGENT - Newly Server-Partitioned Applications 11.0.3/8.1.6 grind

2002-01-10 Thread Lowes, Harry (NESL-IT)

Afternoon esteemed colleagues,

We are running Applications 11.0.3, and in a move towards iProcurement have
upgraded our 8.0.5.2 database to 8.1.6.3. Everything tested OK, but after a
couple of days of live running, the ORA-4031 errors that we used to get in
clumps once / twice a day crept up to four / five times a day, then in 24
hours brought the system to it's knees.

I have monitored perm chunks in the shared pool, and the free space
gradually gets maxed out, even though the lib cache and buffer cache are 95%
and 85% full respectively. It looks like the free chunks (when they finally
appear) are big enough to accommodate the chunks that are failing in the
ORA-4031 message, tho'...

Has anyone seen anything else like this? The instance is now unusable after
30 minutes, and shows no signs of miraculous recovery.


Thanks in advance,

RE: Connection question?

2001-11-28 Thread Lowes, Harry (NESL-IT)

Alright Paul,

Not too sure myself (as I said in my post). I know on VMS the bequeath
listener is a job started using the BEQLSNR utility. After a bit of digging
on Metalink, I found Note: 62142.1 that illustrates the bequeath connection
quite well. Looks like it's a direct one-home one-server connection, where
the app spawns it's own server-side process to connect to a db in the same
oracle home. This connection is performed using Unix pipes. The listener
spawns the server-side process for IPC connections, and these communicate
using Unix Domain Sockets. Amazing what you can learn with a little
digging.. ;-)


Thanks,

Harry, you say that IPC and BEQ both use the listener to spawn a
server-side process -- but the docs say that BEQ "...enables clients
that exist on the same machine as the server to retrieve information
from the database without using the listener".  

Which is correct?
