RE: Does SQL Server have a wait interface?
Ryan, Check out "DBCC SQLPERF(WAITSTATS)", and also take a look at the "sysprocesses" table - with columns waittype, waittime, lastwaittype and SPID. Something like: SELECT spid AS SPID, waittype AS WaitType, waittime AS WaitTime, lastwaittype AS LastWaitType FROM sysprocesses WHERE (spid > 50) AND (waittime > 0) A good comprehensive overview of the wait types is here: http://sqldev.net/misc/WaitTypes.htm HTH Mark Mark Leith Cool-Tools UK Limited http://www.cool-tools.co.uk -Original Message- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 21 January 2004 13:35 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L anyone know? -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California-- Mailing list and web hosting services - 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).

I've asked for the out put on a lsnrctl status already, but haven't heard back from him as yet.. The "." does look strange.. Also, what would the impact be to have the GLOBAL_DBNAME set to the same value for all three instances? Would it not be better to set it to the same name as the instance name for each?

RE: SQL server and JOB
Firstly Arslan, it should probably be pointed out that this is an Oracle list, not SQLServer. But, seeing as I deal with both database types, I'll have a stab at this.. You can create jobs under the "SQLServer Agent". If you open up SQLServer's Enterprise Manager, and navigate to your "Server", there is a directory tree there called "Management", and under that will be "SQL Server Agent", which manages three things - "Alerts", "Operators" and "Jobs".. If you highlight Jobs, then right mouse button click on the (probably) empty window on the right, you'll get a menu option to insert a "New Job...".

RE: Checking that the instance is up
Hi Peter, I remember the thread, but couldn't remember the subject line at all.. Having had this discussion countless times in the past, here's what I would opt for: The best way to make sure that an instance is alive and running would be to do a full connection to that instance, and run a simple piece of sql - such as "select 'PING' from dual;". This makes sure that both the listener, and instance are both up and readily accepting connections. You can also monitor for the listener status separately, based upon a "TNSPING " command, that will alert simply to the status of the listener. We do both of these with our monitoring tool, and generate ENTITY_DOWN and NETWORK_DOWN alerts respectively. If you get both an ENTITY_DOWN and NETWORK_DOWN error message at the same time, then this helps to point you at the listener quicker than trying to diagnose why the instance is down. If you just get an ENTITY_DOWN message on it's own, then it points to a database based problem. You should also try and catch the error messages on a failure, and flag those in your warning messages. And of course, there is the point of monitoring the monitor. You should have some process in place that is making sure that the monitor is up and running correctly. Whether this be a date/timestamp placed in to a log file with every successful "ping", or making sure a cron/AT job is running etc. depends on how you do this.. Of course, you could buy a tool that already does all of this.. ;) HTH Mark -Original Message- Robson, Peter Sent: 18 December 2003 13:59 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Folks - Some months ago there were exchanges on the optimum way to check that an instance was alive.

RE: NT -> Win2K causes performance degradation..
Hi all, Thanks for the pointers that you have all supplied. Sage advice that they shouldn't have changed Oracle whilst changing their OS at the same time. I also did some checking up on the /3GB switch before it was mentioned (having seen it on here in the past) - Windows 2000 does in fact support a 4gb address space, though the /3GB switch is only appropriate for Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Windows 2000 Datacenter Server - if you use it for Microsoft Windows 2000 Server - you will lose 1gb of address space! More info (based on Exchange though) is available here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B328882 If we ever find out what the actual cause was, I'll feed it back to the list. For now we've suggested they roll back the Oracle changes, reassess performance, and then increase their memory structures in steps - assessing performance along the way. We've also asked about the /3GB switch, and pagefile sizes - though they think that the rate of their swapping hasn't increased since the upgrade. Thanks again! Mark -Original Message- Yechiel Adar Sent: 11 December 2003 14:40 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L The /3GB does not work for the simple reason that in W2K you have 3GB as max address space. At least that what my sysadmin tells me (after checking with MS). Yechiel Adar Mehish - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2003 6:49 PM Mark, My guess is, that the new OS re-instated the file system caching. By default, 41% (yes, it should have been 42%) of physical memory will be allocated to filesystem caching, as W2K thinks it a fileserver (and domain controller, web server, print server, etc) until you tell it otherwise. This is much improved in w2k3 server - where you tell it what you want it to be. A good sysadmin would have set the OS to "optimize throughput for network applications" which would have turned off the filesystem caching. Ok, its only one radio button to select, so an MSCE could set it also. Surprisingly enough, in W2K Server - changing this setting does not require a reboot, although I don't know if the changes take effect until after a system restart. That's not the sort of thing that I usually test, as NT4 had me trained to reboot afterwards. the other thing may be, that the boot.ini no longer supports the /3GB or /PAE switches as Jared mentioned - but that should not cause the symptoms you are reporting. hth.

Support for RH Linux 9 will end on April 30th 2004, and the firm said it
does not plan to introduce any more products in the Red Hat Linux line.
At the same time, RH said that it has a migration plan for network customers
to move to Enterprise Linux V3.
Although some think that Red Hat might be shooting itself in the foot with
the move, like we said we suspect that its close cooperation with IBM has
helped it come to the decision.
And it's going to help the other Linux companies who are committed to
desktop distributions."
Nice move.. :(

OK, this is even more confusing to me. According to the following page:
http://www.redhat.com/download/products.html
"You can download Red Hat Linux for free from http://ftp.redhat.com or
ftp://ftp.redhat.com. To access the Red Hat FTP site, use anonymous as you
user name and your email address as the password."
I actually downloaded Red Hat 9 on Friday. That download (in iso format) is
available from the above FTP (which is pretty overloaded lately), and also
available from:
ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/9/en/iso/i386/
So, do I have to pay a license to use it?
BTW, ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ has to be one of the best FTP sites in
the world - bookmark it! ;)

RE: dba interview questions
How salty is the water? -Original Message- Bellow, Bambi Sent: 27 October 2003 17:20 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Bill -- I appreciate your input to this very complex question. IMHO, however, "she turned me into a newt!" is, technically, an interview *statement* rather than an interview *question*. That being said, it can be used at the beginning or end of the interview to set tone, but lesser candidates might be inclined to send envelopes full of grass to thank you for taking the time to interview them. This may, or may not, be received favorably, and one must realize the risks in making bold statements when interviewing candidates who may be subpar. Along those lines, I admit that in all my years of interviewing, I have found that there are interview questions that it is simply better not to ask: "when do you come around next?" (leads interviewee to think that he has advanced to a second interview), and "how do you know he's a king?" (leads to answers about SCOTT and MILLER with CONNECT BYs. Not at all the intended response). However, I think you're on the right track, if a bit early in the scene. Perhaps you'd consider "What also floats in water?". Of course, there are multiple answers (e.g., apples, very small stones, mud, churches) which could arguably be deemed to show an acceptable level of knowledge, an ability to think outside the box, and an inventive approach, even if the salient points might not be wholly accurate. Even so, the correct answer (a duck) is technically not correct as it does not float, but swims (new scientific has determined this with a fair amount of accuracy), and I'd hate to hire a DBA who was stuck in old paradigms of science and/or technology. A CICS programmer, sure, but not a DBA. Now, if you'll just bring me a shrubbery, I can get on with my database analysis.

RE: using temp tables for staging databases?
Tim, Can you sum up a few situations when the need *has* arisen to change these values? Cheers Mark -Original Message- Tim Gorman Sent: 21 October 2003 06:09 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Unless you typo'd, there are some serious problems here... Setting PCTFREE to 99 is not likely to "pack in the blocks". Rather the opposite; you are instead leaving blocks 99% empty. Quite a bit of wasted I/O in performing a FULL table scan here... :-) Anyway, it is not a good idea to have PCTFREE and PCTUSED sum to a value greater than 70 or 80 or so, just as a rule of thumb. Having them sum to a value near 100 ensures that each insert, delete, or even update will potentially cause the block to be removed or reinserted to one of the segment's free list. Think about it: the width of a single row crossing the boundary from "off the free list" to "on the free list". Better to leave a bit of a "no man's land" between the two values. The default settings of PCTFREE=10 and PCTUSED=40 are one of the few default settings that need little manipulation for most situations. on 10/20/03 7:34 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > we drop and recreate the temp tables every night.

RE: what are leaf blocks and table high water marks?
A Leaf Block is an index block. In a B*tree index, index blocks are either branch blocks (the "top" blocks within the B*tree index), or leaf blocks (the "lower" level index blocks). Branch blocks hold index data that point to lower level index blocks. Leaf blocks hold every indexed data value and a corresponding ROWID used to locate the actual row of data. See: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96524/c11schem .htm#3353 A tables High Water mark is a mark that is set against a table, pointing to the highest amount of data that has been inserted in to that table at any one time. Say you inserted 1,000,000 rows in to the table, then delete 200,000, the HWM would point at 1,000,000 rows. It is used as a boundary for space management, and can also be used by the optimiser to make poor choices under certain circumstances.. ;) You can't release space below the high water mark, even if there is no data below that high water mark (an empty table). The only way to do this is via the TRUNCATE command.

RE: Separate Indexes and Data

If anyone does have a different backup schedule for index tbs , I would be interested to know how they ensure that the index TBS do not have any data segments in them. Jared "MacGregor, Ian A." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/30/2003 10:34 AM Please respond to ORACLE-L To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: RE: Separate Indexes and DataI'd be very interested to know how many people have their index tablespaces on a different backup schedule from their data tablespaces. If so how different? What happens when a media failure occurs and you must restore from backup? You would need to have on hand and apply more redo logs to make the database current. I understand the argument proffered is separating indexes and data can mean that when physical corruption of the file happens to an index tablespace then all one needs do is to offline, drop, drop and rebuild the index tablespace. I admit I have not tried off-lining the tablespace first, but you cannot normally drop a tablespace which is being used to enforce referential integrity. If off-lining the tablespace first does work, I can see someone trying to do the rebuild with the database available and having duplicate records in the parent tables and records without parents in the child tables.On the size of the segments: The paper entitled "How To Start Defragmenting and Start Living" or something like that strongly advocated uniform extent sizes, the suggestion sizes were 128K, 4M, 128M, and 4G as I recall. However the paperNever mentioned what to do when an object that used to fit nicely into the 128k extent category now more properly belongs to the 4M category. If you move the data, large holes are left in the other tablespace, and while this does not impact Oracle performance, it does mean that your physical backups are larger than necessary. I am in the process of migrating from uniform to autoallocated extents. This means extents of different sizes share the same tablespace. The extent sizes being multiples of each other. This removes the argument about not having indexes and data in the same tablespaces due to their different sizes. Ian MacGregorStanford Linear Accelerator Center [EMAIL PROTECTED]-Original Message-Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 8:10 AMTo: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-LThomas,It *is* a good idea to separate index data from heap data into different tablespaces. But the reason isn't solely to eliminate I/O competition. Even if I/O competition isn't an issue for you (and the OFA Standard doesn't say that it will be), then it's *still* a good idea to separate your index data from your heap data, for reasons including:* Index segments have different backup and recovery requirements than their corresponding heap segments. For example, as Peter mentioned, if you have an index block corruption event, then it's convenient to just offline, kill, and rebuild an index tablespace. If the indexes and data are mixed up in a single tablespace, this is not an option. Anotherexample: If you construct your backup schedule to make media recovery time a constant, then you probably don't need to back up your indexes on the same schedule as you back up your heaps. But unless they're in different tablespaces, this isn't an option either.* Index segments are usually smaller than their corresponding heap segments. Using separate tablespaces allows you to use a smaller extent size to conserve disk storage capacity.I don't think I ever wrote that you need to put indexes and their corresponding tables/clusters on separate disks, but you do need to be*able* to do that if your I/O rates indicate that you should.For the original OFA Standard definition, please see section 3 of the document called "The OFA Standard--Oracle for Open Systems," and section 5 of "Configuring Oracle Server for VLDB," both available for free at www.hotsos.com.Cary MillsapHotsos Enterprises, Ltd.http://www.hotsos.comUpcoming events:- Performance Diagnosis 101: 10/28 Phoenix, 11/19 Sydney- Hotsos Symposium 2004: March 7-10 Dallas- Visit www.hotsos.com for schedule details...-Original Message-Thomas DaySent: Monday, Sep

RE: Rman equivalent for MS-SQL server
You can actually use Database Maintenance Plans, to mimic RMAN to a certain extent. Database Maintenance Plans is basically a wizard that generates a load of MSDB jobs that get run by the SQL*Agent.

RE: Database Link
Yechiel, oerr isn't installed on Windows machines - only on UNIX installs.. oerr is basically a shell script that reads the oraus.msg file under a UNIX install (and some others too I think). Windows has a binary file under %ORACLE_HOME%\RDBMS\mesg\oraus.msb, which if you open it has the descriptions pretty much in plain text, but the error codes aren't very legible.. There are a couple of ways to get the functionality on Windows though. Some require you to have access to a Oracle on UNIX install, so that you can parse the $ORACLE_HOME/RDBMS/mesg/oraus.msg file, and load the contents in to a database table. You can use sqlerrm(-600) from within SQL*PLus, but this only provides the ORA errors, you don't get TNS etc. If you have perl installed, there is a perl script available on orafaq.org that can be used to simulate the oerr utility, it's here: http://www.orafaq.org/scripts/perl/oerr.txt Grab the PDF documentation.. ;) http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96525.pdf HTH Mark === Mark Leith | T: +44 (0)1905 330 281 Sales & Marketing | F: +44 (0)870 127 5283 Cool Tools UK Ltd | E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] === http://www.cool-tools.co.uk Maximising throughput & performance -Original Message- Yechiel Adar Sent: 10 September 2003 09:54 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hello Jared What is the oerr utility?

Production "issues" come under 2 categories: 1. It can wait until tomorrow. 2. I have to do something now. In the first case, I am happy to remain blissfully un-aware until I get to work. In the second case, I prefer a proper screen and keyboard to do the work. In this case, a pager is more than sufficient as a notification device. Anything else in between should have already been *proactively* alerted (and addressed) via a monitoring tool, or more effectively and reliably via a whole bunch of home-grow scripts. The options I have seen advertised for such a gadget include adding users or adding datafiles (which is probably obsolete with 10g anyway). If you have to do these things re-actively via a PDA, you have to seriously look at getting out of fire-fighting mode in the first place. In fact, I have never equated OEM with usefulness or reliability - remains to be seen what 10g is like.

RE: EM To Go
Dick, This is actually one of the largest misconceptions with PocketDBA/PocketAdmin - the term "wireless" or having to use it on a "WLAN (Wireless LAN)".. You may notice now that Expand Beyond are marketing PocketDBA as a "Mobile" tool rather than a "Wireless" tool. You can use PocketDBA via a dial-up (from a mobile phone) to a RAS server or VPN - just the same as you would with a laptop. Over here in the UK we actually recommend that it's used this way - as opposed to touching an internet facing server, or over a WLAN.. We're not overly concerned about EM 2 Go right now - the Pocket tools are streets ahead of EM 2 Go from what we last heard. In my experience most people are looking for tools that can cover the breadth of their environments, and whether we like it or not, a lot of companies that are using Oracle also use SQLServer, or DB2 as well. With the Pocket tools you can manage your UNIX systems or any VT100 compliant system such as a hardware firewall or router (PocketAdmin Console), Windows environments such as domains, users, systems, Exchange Server etc. (PocketAdmin for Windows), and most of the major database vendors (Oracle, SQLServer, DB2 - Teradata in the next month). Can EM 2 Go do this? I think not... ;) I've not heard a lot about the functionality within EM 2 Go, the last we heard (at the start of this year) was that it was no where near PocketDBA. I've never seen or used EM 2 Go my self yet, so I'd be interested in comments from anybody that has!

RE: TOAD vs BMC's XRAY
I'll jump in here if I may. There's another spotlight/DBXray type tool that we are starting to bring in to the UK market place at the moment, that is being received *very* well. The tool is called MGA Eagle Eye, which is developed over in Australia by Mark Gurry's company (http://www.mga-it.com). Many haven't heard about it - some on this list I know have.. It does most anything that Spotlight can do - with a few added bonuses. Many of you will have seen Cary Millsap's ethos of diagnosing "performance problems" via measuring actual user response times. Eagle Eye will allow you to feed a script, or set of scripts (an average form for example) in to an engine that will execute the "suite" of a scripts on a pre-defined basis. You set an acceptable response time threshold, and if that suite goes over the threshold, Eagle Eye will do a system wide "trace", finding out who else is active at that time, what they are running and the explain plans, and will gather any system wide or object wait statistics - giving you a "snapshot" of what was happening when performance went out the window.. The history of executions is recorded, so that if someone calls saying "Last Wednesday I had some problems doing FooBar" - you can have some details to say "Oh yes, it was X", or "No, sorry - the problem wasn't with the Oracle, please bug somebody else!!" ;) It also gives a mechanism for generating HTML based reports on SQL "suites", and has just had a web application benchmarking module added to it as well. You can check it out on Mark Gurry's company site (as above) or on the Cool-Tools site (we are currently handling UK & Europe) here: http://www.cool-tools.co.uk/Products/eagleeye.html . If you would like any more info on it Fermin, or a demo, please feel free to contact me directly.

RE: [Q] Script to generate "grant privilege" on a table?
Hi Mike, I've spoken about DBATool to one person on the list today already, so another won't hurt too much I hope ;) DBATool will do what you want. It will even let you create a nice HTML set of documentation (you say "future reference"), the pages will show you the DDL of that table, and all it's grants, comments, constraints etc. Here's a sample: http://www.cool-tools.co.uk/Products/DDL/db=TEST+sc=DT_TEST+tb=DEPT161.htm (may be wrapped) Here's the index of the HTML documentation: http://www.cool-tools.co.uk/Products/DDL/db=TEST.htm PUBLIC holds all the tablespace, user, role, profile etc. creation statements.. Simply load an export taken with "rows=n" (most people have these handy anyway - or should!), and then click one of the output buttons (All DDL, DDL for , All for ), and choose the HTML format.. You can just as easily output the same to SQL creation scripts as well though.. I would personally do both. :) The tool is free. You can get it here: http://www.cool-tools.co.uk/Products/dbatool.html HTH Mark -Original Message- mike mon Sent: 20 June 2003 13:45 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Does anyone has script which can check "grant privilege" on a table and generate output for future usage?

RE: RE: Schedule Analyze using DBMS_STATS ???
Sorry JP, I should have clarified that DBMS_STATS is the way to go, when on
a 9i or above release. One of the simple factors being that ANALYZE is being
deprecated.. There seemed to be a number of bugs/quirks, whatever you want
to call them, in certain 8.1.x versions, which are now fixed within 9i..
There's a number of threads about the issues, available in the list archives
(you can find them at http://www.faqchest.com), which I dug around - as I
remembered seeing a post by Connor McDonald, where he gave away an alternate
script to gather stats, here's the mail:
http://www.faqchest.com/prgm/oracle-l/ora-02/ora-0210/ora-021011/ora02100802
_06150.html
I think the general consensus is that DBMS_STATS is quicker. I've never
personally done any comparative benchmarks to corroborate this sheep
following attitude though.. ;)

Mark

Thanx a lot Mark.
Sure , your code has given me a starting point.
let me change accordingly to use DBMS_STATSe and give a try :-)
So,can i conclude that DBMS_STATS is better than ANALYZE ?!
Someone over the list mentioned that DBMS_STATS is slower.
is it so ? What is your opinion regarding this ?!
just curious to know !

RE: Schedule Analyze using DBMS_STATS ???
Prem,
Use DBMS_JOBS to run the analyze:
===
undef username
undef password
grant analyze any to &&username
/
connect &&username/&&password
CREATE or REPLACE PROCEDURE analyze_tables (
v_stat_type IN VARCHAR2 := 'COMPUTE') AS
CURSOR c IS
SELECT DISTINCT owner
FROM all_tables
WHERE owner not in ('SYS','SYSTEM');
BEGIN
FOR any_row IN c LOOP
dbms_utility.analyze_schema(
any_row.owner,v_stat_type);
END LOOP;
END;
/
===
variable jobno number
declare jobno number;
BEGIN
dbms_job.submit(:jobno,
'begin &&username.analyze_tables; end;',
to_date('03jun0304:00','DDMONYYHH24:MI'),
'trunc(sysdate)+(1+(4/24))');
END;
===
The above will run a COMPUTE analyze on all schemas, except SYS and SYSTEM,
at 4:00am every day. Modify it to your own needs, but it should give you a
starting point..
I would also recommend using DBMS_STATS to generate your statistics.
Have fun! ;0)

RE: IN or Exists --- performance issue
Munish, You are right, as a *general rule of thumb* EXISTS is *usually* faster than IN.. There can however be problems when an EXISTS is used to manipulate or select data from a very large table, where the row exists in a far smaller table, as it will read every row in the large table, and then scan the smaller table for corresponding rows.. Is this the case with you? You have a few options: 1) Use IN ;) 2) Try an ALWAYS_SJ(MERGE) hint. 3) Set the ALWAYS_SEMI_JOIN init.ora parameter to "MERGE" (though this has had Ora-600 problems reported against it - so test it thoroughly first!).

As a general rule by oracle while writing SQL scripts EXISTS should be used in place of IN. I'm having 2 sql for comparison using IN and EXISTS operators. With IN operator SELECT /*+ PUSH_SUBQ USE_NL (a) INDEX (a) */ COUNT(1) FROM mam_assets a ALWAYS_SEMI_JOIN WHERE 1 = 1 AND a.is_current_version = 1 AND a."ID" IN (SELECT dmv3.asset_id FROM mam_asset_attr_domain_values dmv3 WHERE dmv3.domain_value_id = 71 AND dmv3.asset_attribute_xid = 3 AND dmv3.domain_xid = 7) With Exists Operator SELECT /*+ PUSH_SUBQ USE_NL (a) INDEX (a) */ COUNT(1) FROM mam_assets a WHERE 1 = 1 AND a.is_current_version = 1 AND EXISTS (SELECT dmv3.asset_id FROM mam_asset_attr_domain_values dmv3 WHERE a."ID" = dmv3.asset_id AND dmv3.domain_value_id = 71 AND dmv3.asset_attribute_xid = 3 AND dmv3.domain_xid = 7) The Statement having exists is taking more time than the one with IN operator. IN operator statement time = 3sec and the Exists operator statement time = 12 sec. After analysis I have come to know that the EXISTS statement is causing more logical block reads that IN statement, approx 4 times and hence the delay. I have a index on all the predicates mentioned in the where clause. and the explain plan shows a index range search. Can anyone please help me to reduce these high Logical reads which result when I use the EXISTS operator. Thanks to all Best Regards Munish Bajaj --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

RE: skip scan index
Rachel, http://technet.oracle.com/oramag/webcolumns/2003/techarticles/schumacher_ski pscan.html http://www.oracle-base.com/Articles/9i/IndexSkipScanning.asp I don't have any personal experience with them myself :( The first link gives a pretty good overview though.. Mark -Original Message- Carmichael Sent: 28 May 2003 12:00 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Okay, I have a developer here who has been reading the docs (this can be dangerous!) we are adding functionality to one of our applications, this will involve using multiple fulfillment houses, so we'll be adding the fulfillment vendor id to the order table. Easy, this is not a problem. We want to be able to search by order date and by fulfillment vendor id/order date Traditional design would be to add two indexes: one on order date, and a concatenated one on fulfillment vendor id/order date. The developer is telling me to create a "skip scan index" instead of two different ones. MY reading in the FM tells me that skip scan index is not a type of index, but rather a way Oracle uses to use an index even if the leftmost column is not in the query. Is there any benefit in my building only the one index? Our order volume is not so high (and never will be) that there is a visible performance impact if I have the two indices. This is 9i, 9.2.0.1, will be upgrading to 9.2.0.2 in the near future. Solaris Any suggestions/comments/war stories would be appreciated. I know I've seen Jonathan post on skip scan indexes before but I can't find the specific reference at the moment. Rachel __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I usually track our HP-UX 11.0 system with the 'top' command so I can
notice when the system is under slow performance. If that happens, I use
Toad to look for any active Oracle SQL query which may be heavy enough for
degrading the performance.
I think my question is simple, but since I am a newbie on this... how can I
see who is executing an Oracle SQL that is taking all our CPU provided that
I only see his PID with the TOP command? I only see the oracle process, but
I don't know how to get the username and the SQL beside him.
Thank you for your answers!
Fermin.

RE: Oracle Monitor
Hi Mitchell, When you say "monitor", what exactly do you mean? The definition of a "Monitoring" tool (in my eyes at least) is a tool that will sit and monitor your database, and tell you when a problem could be, or is, imminent (via background processes and alerts). The list that you specify, whilst all good tools, are not (exactly) "monitors". Quest's Spotlight is more of a "diagnostics" tool, granted it has a lot of "monitoring" features, but it is essentially a SQL*Net/Net 8 based client, that has to be open for "monitoring" to occur, and more to the point, you have to be looking at the screen to notice any "problems". Quests true "monitoring" tool is I/Watch (or Foglight, depending..). PocketDBA, again, is not a monitor (we are Expand Beyond's UK distributor). It is more of a diagnostics tool aimed at the "mobile" market. It has no mechanism to get an alert or to you the DBA, though it DOES allow you to get to the bottom of problems very quickly, once you have received an alert however! ;) I honestly couldn't comment on Oracle Performance Monitor, having not tried it. There are other tools available on the market though. Here's a list of those that I would class as having "monitors": Precise (www.precisesoft.com) Quest (www.quest.com) BMC (www.bmc.com) Embarcadero (www.embarcardero.com) - I'm not entirely sure whether Performance Centre has alerting yet. Bradmark (www.bradmark.com) and therefore (www.cool-tools.co.uk as well :D) Oracle (who needs a URL) There are a number of others out there in the market, with tools such as "Big Brother" (now taken over by Quest I think) "orasnap", "mamba" etc. . The ones listed above however, are those that I would list as the market leaders. We sell Bradmark's offering (NORAD) along with PocketDBA, to allow NORAD alerts to be sent to a mobile phone (as well as email, pager, SNMP_TRAPS etc.), and "actioned" straight away with PocketDBA. Remember, often the main driving force for monitors is to ease the DBAs work load, by giving the day to day monitoring tasks to a tool to handle. If you need to be watching a screen - this defeats the object! :) HTH Mark === Mark Leith | T: +44 (0)1905 330 281 Sales & Marketing | F: +44 (0)870 127 5283 Cool Tools UK Ltd | E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] === http://www.cool-tools.co.uk Maximising throughput & performance -Original Message- Sent: 25 February 2003 15:49 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi DBAs We are reviewing anything related to database monitor.
