RE: Creating sequences on the DUAL table?

2002-07-30 Thread Lyuda Hoska

Cherie,
If you push F1 key from SqlPlus there will be a complete explanation called
'all about sequences and how to create them on dual table'.

Dan,

Haven't heard the why yet but I think it may be just a poorly worded
request.   I suspect he wants the sequences created on another table and
just wants to be able to select from dual.   Maybe he never realized that
the sequences were actually created on another table.Maybe he actually
thought that the sequences were created on the DUAL table since he only
ever used them by selecting from DUAL.   Our developers run quite a wide
gamut and I don't work very regularly with this one so it's hard to know
where he's coming from.   Still trying to get him on the phone.

Thanks for this info about performance on DUAL.  I will pass the info on.
Thanks to everyone for getting us all on the same page.   I'm sure that
once I talk this out with him, it'll be straightened out quickly.

Cherie

Cherie,
   My first response is 'WHY?'. Do they mean that they want to
create 2
new sequences and use the DUAL table to retrieve the values? It will cause
performance problems and there are better solutions. I have some
information
on the performance implications of DUAL at
http://www.optimaldba.com/internals/oraint_dual.html.

I have a request from one of our developers to create two new sequences on
the DUAL table.

This seems like a bad idea to me.   I've never had such a request in the
past.   I asked for clarification on why this is needed and I didn't get a
lot of details yet.

Is this something that is standard operating procedure?   My understanding
that interfacing with the DUAL table is usually inviting poor performance.
Plus, I don't like to mess around with system tables, in general.

Under what circumstances would it be justified to create sequences on the
DUAL table?   Should I just flat-out refuse this request and if so, why?

Thanks,

Cherie Machler

RE: How to notify the password expiration in oracle?

2002-07-22 Thread Lyuda Hoska

Not sure it would be the best but... logically I would:

1. get sysdate
2. get expiration date
3. if expiration date - sysdate = 7 (let's say you wanted to warn them 7
days in advance) send them e-mail.
I have not done e-mail from Oracle but there are plenty examples everywhere.

Or, I think you could create a screen in your app. and display that screen
for them any time they get close to expiration date.  You can even let them
change their password through that screen, too.

Greetings,

As I understand that from Oracle 8 onward we have the feature of password
management like account locking, password aging and expiration, password
history and password complexity requirements.

My understanding is that if the password is expired for an user then that
user will be notified during his first attempt to login to the oracle
database. Instead of waiting for the user to login and then know about his
password expiration, we
are trying to find out a way by which the oracle can automatically send an
email to the respective user as it is close to the password expiration or as
the password has just expired.


Any ideas?

Something like this would work.

Hello all,

This has probably been discussed here before and I'm
sorry if I'm repeating this. But I'd very much
appreciate if someone could show me how to use DECODE
to select a MAX date where records are like this:

PRIM. KEY  FIRST_DATE SEC_DATE   THIRD_DATE
JO001599O 12/14/2000 03/23/2001 05/21/2001 
JO001620L12/27/2000 05/16/2001 

The first_date, sec_date and third_date may or may not
exist; either one of the dates will be there. I need
to come up with another column LATEST_DATE which will
show the latest date of the 3.

Thanks very much in advance!

 Thank you.

Rather that the query of death, I'd export everything and work on the
.dmp file with Unix tools. Oracle stuff is in uppercase, normally, the
only lowercase characters you may find apart from data is in the text of
stored objects (views, packages). Finding out *where* exactly the
lowercase characters are located is likely to be a bit difficult,
though. But I could probably do it with awk, as others (before I get
flamed ;-)) could do it with perl.

  Hey Guys,
  Did anyone have a look at Gaja's new 
  paper on myths and folklore about Oracle at Craig Shallahamer's site? 
  Wonderful reading.

RE: PL/SQL equivalent of pause

Anyone know how to have a PL/SQL program (anonymous block) pause, either
indefinately or for a specified amount of time (x seconds)?

THere's a proc in DBMS_LOCK, I know . . . but that suspends processing  --
not exactly the same as Pausing it.

thx

Java surely allows you to close the statement, ask your developers to do
that. I told mine, and they are happy with it.
