Re: !!Please Read - Oracle-L is moving!!
Ref: Fix subscription errors after Final Confirmation message I'm on Yahoo. The workaround is to send the Final Confirmation message (with that //job stuff) back using the Forward button (not Reply). You have to cut-paste the address. The problem with Reply is caused by HTML formatting in the Reply scrollable window, which may add a CR to the command and fail. However, if you use Forward instead of Reply there is no editing nor formatting and it works! Good luck, see you there...

Re: RE: table reorganizations
Hi, Guys, in this case can we chill (in a friendly way) about the naive questions. At least her company has a job posting for Senior Oracle DBA. E.g.: http://pella.kenexa.com/pellav4/newhr/jobdesc.asp?ID=1194 Maybe they really do need help? Sorry, their web site is really slow, too. ;-) HTH. Regards, Mike Thomas --- Nuno Pinto do Souto [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Shrake, Jolene [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm surprised at these responses. I'm asking what sql statement most people use to identify tables that need reorganization because of holes. You don't have to be. There is plenty of material available today online that demonstrates the futility of religious (meaning: dictated by dogma) reorganizations. We had an Oracle consultant here and he uses A con-sultant, perheaps? What sql statement is used by others? None. There is no such thing as a statement that will pinpoint a need for a reorg. Unless you can prove to yourself that reorganizing any given table will improve anything in your system, then just going through the motions because there is a hole is useless. Holes are not necessarily the same as disasters. If you are using a reasonably recent version of Oracle (something you should ALWAYS mention upfront is the version you are running), then you can get all the information you need from the data in the dictionary as well as the statistics info. And guess what: that is also all the information Oracle itself needs and uses to work around any potential problems holes might have caused in the past. Bottom line: only reorganize if you have a specific reason, purpose and target for doing so. Just doing it because a con-sultant's SQL statement says so, is turning yourself into a cookie-cutter DBA. Which may give your boss a very warm feeling about your position, but achieves preciously nothing in real terms.

RE: oracle client on PC's
Hi, I'm in Raleigh, so DataDirect is right nearby. Also, I know their current managers, etc. I worked with them on my last contract, and know something about their stuff. We needed an ODBC driver from our ETL DataStage UNIX server to an Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere (old version) client running on Windows NT. The DataDirect guys really helped us out, especially with contact info for Sybase ASA. As I remember, the ETL DataStage wire-protocol was considered anything 'provided' with their product, e.g. Sybase 11. Therefore, 'non' wire-protocol was 3rd party like our Sybase ASA ODBC driver. We could still use the DataStage Driver Manager to configure the 3rd party ODBC. Too much information. Sorry. Whatever... :-) Send me an email and maybe I can help with info.

I was in Reston last night, too. Also, Tom repeatedly emphasized RMAN, which I've not spent enough time mastering, will be even more important in 10g. Does everyone here use RMAN that is using 9i currently? BTW. Tom mentioned SAME, as you say, but I can not remember what he said about it. Sorry. Maybe Ryan remembers? As far as ASM, I thought it was interesting that ASM was supposed to run as additional PMON/SMON processes with separate dynamic V$ views as the API. I was pretty impressed that Tom was spending the week before holidays travelling around and doing Oracle presentations. He is really amazing. Regards, Mike --- Goulet, Dick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That is not exactly a new feature. Oracle 9i has Oracle Managed Files where you give it a directory and then just build tablespaces. The database picks the filenames for you. Now mind you it does work, but I'll be damned if I use it in anything other than a development environment. For some reason Oracle has never gotten over that DUMB SAME (Stripe And Mirror Everything) idea. The concept is great in theory, but in practice it's absolutely abysmal at best. Dick Goulet Senior Oracle DBA Oracle Certified 8i DBA -Original Message- Sent: Friday, December 19, 2003 8:24 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I saw a presentation from Oracle on 10g new features last night in Reston,VA. I know atleast one other person from the list was there. Since Oracle is releasing details and its going to be released(in theory) in the next 2 weeks, I was wondering if you guys could talk about it. 1. does ASMs work as well as Oracle claims? I always wonder about first generation features... takes most software vendors a couple of generations to get it right(takes any project Im on just as long). This is a radical departure. for those of you who dont know. Oracle claims that they will manage your disks for you. All you do is give Oracle some Raw Disks and Oracle will set up, and handle all your datafiles. All you do is look at logical tablespaces. It will also handle I/O balancing. How well does this work? Anyone test it with a SAN? 2. RAC Load Balancing. Oracle claims that you only need Oracle software from now on. They also claim that you can load balance multiple applications. Lets say you have One application that runs batch loads over night and a transactional application during the day oracle will automatically steal resources from the other when its not busy... anyone test this? 3. Flashback database. Kyte was the presenter and he said that you can keep massive undo areas, so that if you have a failure or delete data you shouldnt have you can have oracle automatically write the DML necessary to bring it back to any point in time. Kyte said that regular EIDE hard drives that you put in home PCs are plenty fast enough for most systems. He recommends getting 4 300 GB drives(1.2 TBs) for about $1400 to do this and to make tape backups off of this since they are really slow. Can any beta testers comment? Im pleased with the rename tablespace feature... that way I dont have to update TS$ anymore... I wonder if it was our complaining that got them to add it :) -- 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).

RE: OEM permissions
A possibly related question: I'm curious if everyone allows your developers to see V$SQL... views? If not, then ... whatever ... no comment. I'm disappointed with some perspectives in these threads regarding developers. Rather than close doors, why not use 'development' instances, and role based privs on the 'production' instance and grant the access required to the developers. E.g. Help them determine which Data Dictionary tables support their development? Good luck. --- Yong Huang [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Raj, 9i doesn't allow a user with select any table privilege to view any object owned by SYS. So the sys.link$ risk is gone. But select any dictionary, a new privilege in 9i, allows that. In practice, I always grant select_catalog_role to any developer, but refrain from granting select any dictionary or select any table. As DBAs, we should encourage developers to make full use of data dictionary views and open the database to them as much as they can study it. I would help the consultant in your case instead of just throw back a NO to him.

However we request that you submit a justification for these privileges and tell us how your development would be affected without these and we will accommodate your request.

Re: Fedora (pink hat)
If no one fesses up by tonight, I will spend 2 hours and do it myself. Quite a simple task. I will install the 9.2.0.4 Enterprise with all optional S/Q for the test. Does anyone have special requests? E.g. Number of disk drives? Amount of RAM? Database type (DW,OLTP,GENERAL,etc)? Character set? Anything else practical? Gotta go, but I'll check replys when I get back tonight. Hey, I'm still looking for Joe Testa's scripts.
