Re: Desupport of RBO

2003-10-06 Thread Nikunj Gupta



Yes Jared,
 
That is true.. I also saw note .. but never heard 
of 10i.
 
The rule-based optimizer (RBO) will no longer be supported 
when Oracle9i is de-supported. The release after Oracle9i (referred to 
in this article as Oracle10i) will only support the cost-based 
optimizer (CBO).

Re: Data Transfer or Views from SQL Server to Oracle

2003-03-16 Thread Nikunj Gupta
Hello Stephane,

Thanks for the reply.. yes the volume is not too big.. but even then it will
be substantial amount of data transferred only from SQL Server to Oracle.

I was not willing to write an application, but seems from the reply there is
no other way.. at present.. (I tried from Oracle to Access just to test)..
and was able to create views using ODBC.. If it was Windows (SQL Server) to
Windows (Oracle) ODBC would have been the best way communicate... I
believe..

Anyway.. will put VB / Java to work.

Nikunj

Data Transfer or Views from SQL Server to Oracle

2003-03-14 Thread Nikunj Gupta
Hello,

SQL Server in on Windows 2000 Box.
Oracle 8.1.7 is on Unix.

Is there any process by which data can be transferred from SQL SERVER to
ORACLE directly.. something like views / snapshots. (Requirement is almost
realtime data from SQL Server to Oracle)

I am initially not planning to dump the data from SQL Server (if possible)
and then run loader etc..

I am still not on 9i... else maybe would could have tried to read external
file directly after dump.

Thanks for any help or hint in this.

Nikunj

Re: Basic RMAN question

Try RMAN
and at  rman prompt
RMAN> connect backup_admin/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Does that work ?
Check for LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ORACLE_HOME  environments and which RMAN

Re: Oracle 7.3.4 Real-Time Re-indexing - Additional Information

Were you analyzing while rebuilding Indexes ?

If that is the case.. there are chances of possible corruption.

Try to give
select count(*) from table_name;

and

select * from table_name;

Hope this may provide you with some answer.

  Subject: Solaris Kernel Memory Parameters 
  Recommendations?
  
  
  I’ve 
  read a couple of brief passages about setting the kernel memory parameters in 
  UNIX that are required for an Oracle installation.  The information found on MetaLink and 
  in the Oracle 9i installation guide are brief at best and somewhat confusing 
  for a non-UNIX-sys admin. like myself.  
  Would some of you more experienced UNIX/Oracle DBAs please provide a 
  plain English explanation describing your strategy in setting the following 7 
  parameters in the /etc/system file:
   
  SEMMNI
  SEMMNS
  SEMMSL
  SHMMAX
  SHMMIN
  SHMMNI
  SHMSEG
   
  To use 
  a simple example, let’s say the server has 1 GB of RAM to work 
  with.

Re: Using RMAN

2002-01-16 Thread Nikunj Gupta



Hi,
I am not sure... what your exactly plan to 
do...
But,
You can configure RMAN to backup on DISK and use 
some TAPE MANAGEMENT UTILITY or SYSTEM UTILITY (If it is there) to backup from 
your DISK. Also that utility can delete after successful backup from DISK to 
TAPE depending on configuration and requirement.
 
Now, in case of RESTORE... RMAN will try and 
restore from DISK, but if that is not there then you can restore back from TAPE 
to DISK and use RMAN to recover.
 
Sounds logical ??
 
With all this in place.. also plan for backup of 
RMAN Repository.
 
Can you please update me on the methodology you 
adopt.
 
Have fun.. 
 
Nikunj
 
PS: This is just to give an idea... you may have to 
workout some extra steps... and perform a test before implementing in REAL 
WORLD.

  Subject: Using RMAN
  
  Hi
  Currently we 
  are using Unix scripts to do backups.We keep last 2 days of backups on the 
  disk and also take the backups on tape daily. We are planning to use RMAN 
  for backups and would like to maintain the the same policy of 2 days backup on 
  disk and daily tape backups. Is it possible to implement this using RMAN? 
  Which backup will RMAN remember (while restore) the disk backup or the tape 
  backup? 
  If we try to 
  use the incremental strategy ,then how would RMAN remember the last 
  incremental level 0 backup ? It will not be present on disk since we only keep 
  the last 2 days backup on it. How do i use RMAN to do restore/recovery in 
  this case? I heard that taking backups on tape is faster than on 
  disk when using RMAN? Is it true? 
   
  Could RMAN 
  users share their backup/recovery  strategies 
,please.
   
  TIA

The username that you are trying to use, 
does this username own the table that is to be loaded, or does this

Even though you can connect via

  This 
  is very easy if you follow OFA standards for software installation.  The 
  different versions are installed as sub-directories of the $ORACLE_BASE 
  directories (i.e... /oracle/app/oracle/product/8160, 
  /oracle/app/oracle/product/8172).  You then switch versions by changing 
  your ORACLE_HOME, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc.

Hi! 
Is it possible to install two client versions (8.1.6 and

that is that we are using BEA Weblogic, which requires a specific Oracle

  select * from 
  global_name;
  
  in the target 
  database the result is: 
  
  TEST
  
  but in the 
  database where I created the link the database name has the 
  suffix:
  
  NOVALIS.US.ORACLE.COM
  
  I have no 
  problem with database links in the TEST database but would like to know which 
  parameter causes the suffix to be appended in the NOVALIS 
  database.
  
  In both 
  init.ora files the global_names is set to true and db_domain is commented out. 
  
  In both 
  databases the command 
  show 
  parameters;
  
  returns the 
  db_domain as blank.
  
  Actually both 
  databases are on the same server - Oracle 8.1.6. 
  
  What should I 
  change to remove the US.ORACLE.COM suffix. I don't care too much about the 
  database, it's my test only, but don't want it appended in the links and maybe 
  other objects...
  
  Thanks

Re: exp/imp unable to create unix index

2001-12-10 Thread Nikunj Gupta

Were the tables (Where you imported / PROD ) EMPTY ???
What is the version of ORACLE that you are using ??
Is this constraint ENABLED in TEST (From where you exported).. ?? Check..
chances are that it is disabled there..

Re: Init.ora Compabible Setting

2001-12-10 Thread Nikunj Gupta

Well, if  you are using any functionality related to 8.1.0 then leave it as
it is.. or
atleast boost it up to 8.1.5  or 8.1.6 .. This will enable your DROP COLUMN
too..

As might have been suggested.. Higher the better. if you are not using
anything related to previous version.

Title: CURSOR_SHARING = FORCE ques.



9i has come up with cursor_sharing =

which was missing till 8i. We had FORCE and 
EXACT.  FORCE was not what most of the DBA's were willing to use. and hence 
used EXACT.  But similar will do most of the job (Assumed) that we were

  Why 
  is it that people seem to have the need to apologize after admitting that they 
  are OCP certified (or are working toward the goal etc).  I know that 
  there are a lot of differing opinions regarding OCP and what it may or may not 
  tell you about a particular individual, but, if your company is willing to pay 
  for you to pursue this then it is always (IMO) a good idea!  After all, 
  it hopefully will provide you with some incentive to pick up some manuals and 
  perhaps mess with a test database and learn some new stuff.  Just how 
  could this be a bad thing?

Gurus 
Well the boss is now getting on my back for me to upgrade my 
OCP to 8i.  I know, I know, I wasn't going to, please don't flame me, 
but work is insisting that I do.  So now I'm studying the upgrade book 
and it's sparked up a couple of questions regarding cursor_sharing = 
force.
1) I've heard a bunch of negative things (like bugs) 
regarding using this feature, was this just with 8.1.6 or is it still 
buggy?
2) Anyone out there using it?  Does it give that much 
better performance gains?  It seems to me like it's not worth 
implementing.
3)Can the guys playing with 9i out there verify if this is 
buggy in 9i? 
Thanks to all. Ivan Rivera
