Folks:

From what I gather, Oracle stores dates as the number of elapsed days
since
Jan 1, 1968.  When I query a column of type 'DATE', it returns me the
default format, dd-mon-yy.  I know I can use
to_char(date_col,'MMDD')
etc... to define many output formats.
What can I do to get the raw internal value of the date?  i.e. today is
13172.
Thanks.

Re: pl/sql open cursor question

Hi 

if we assume it is implements this way (see below) there will only be
one cursor since c_gid
is a bind variable and there for the cursor will be sharded from call
to call of the function.

create or replace function XYZ (gid in number) return varchar2 is
 cursor cur1(c_gid number) is select C1 from tab1 where id = c_gid;
begin
 for x in cur1(gid) loop
 return x.c1;
 end loop;
 return null;
exception
 when others then return null;
end;

It will only be one coursor 

Guang Mei wrote:

  I have a function like below (psudo code). If cursor cur1 have multiple
rows, would the code leave the cursor open when this function is called?
So if this function is called 1000 times, I would have 1000 open cursors?

function XYZ(gid in number) return varchar2 is
  cursor cur1 is select C1 from tab1 where ID = gid;
begin
  for x in cur1 loop
return x.c1;
  end loop;
  return null;

Reviewing raw SQL trace output I don't see a single

XCTEND tx markers with rlbk=1 (after about every
SELECT statement). Is this normal? Does this mean that
this app rollbacks (implicitly?) after each  of those

Re: Stop using SYS, SYSTEM?

You can remove the create session priv from the RMAN user and this 
will make a little
harder for most users to connect, but RMAN will work fine :-)

David Wagoner wrote:

Jared,

I followed Robert Freeman's advice and created an RMAN user in all my 
DBs called backup_admin with SYSDBA privilege so that RMAN doesn't use 
SYS or SYSTEM.  This allows you to change system passwords at will and 
not interfere with backups.  Works just fine.

Is this what you were talking about?  Perhaps I misunderstood.

Subject: Stop using SYS, SYSTEM?
We are being asked by Auditing to stop using the SYS, and SYSTEM
accounts.  They would like for us to create an Oracle Role with the same
permissions a SYS and SYSTEM, then grant the role to each of the DBA's.
Don't ask me why.  Nothing is being audited in 99% of the databases.
They just say it in a paper some where so they said we shouldn't use it.
This seems like it would cause lots of problems with exports, imports,
installs, etc...  Has anyone had to deal with this type of request?  Any
potential problems with making the change?
Thanks!

Re: Anyone have a copy of DUL ??

2003-09-18 Thread Peter Gram
Hi Pete

I have used Dul many times at customer sites when I was employed by 
Oracle Denmark.

Every time the customer management had to verify by phone and fax that 
they understood
the full impact of using Dul.

Oracle have disclaimer that explains the problems with missing 
transaction consistency of the
data saved by Dul and the security issues.

The customer has to sign and fax the disclaimer back to Oracle before we 
came on site .-)

After I left Oracle several people ask me if would write a Dul and I 
declined.

I'm of the opinion that Dul should stay behind the Oracle firewall.

Hi

Yes it is posible to use Forms 3.x agenst a version 9.x database.
My friend and coworker have implanted it at site on a sun box.
The way to do this is to install Forms 3.x ( 7.2.x dist ?)
in a new $OH and apliey a Forms 4 patch (xxx) to the forms $OH.
Set the unix environment var. TWO_TASK to point to a IPC alias
to the listener that can connect to the 9.x database.
The hard part is to find the Forms 4 patch (xx) it is not possible
to order it from Oracle support but I think it as distributed with
the 7.3.x Oracle database kit !

Re: 9i-OCP Question

2003-07-30 Thread Peter Gram
Hi

I don't want to create a fight, but in a configuration with 2 groups and 
4 members you need 8 disks :

1 disk for every member.

When the db is writing to one group the archiver will be reading from 
the other group, by the
why since there are multibe members in the group the db (archiver) will 
read 64 Kb chunks
from the each member and there by distribute the IO

That's my 2 cent's of knowledge, comment and correction are welcome :-)

Mladen Gogala wrote:

There are two reasons:
1) Redo log groups are never used simultaneously, so they can reside on
   the same disk. Log members should not be on the same disks for 
increased
   survivability. That gives us 2 groups with 4 members, each two members
   sharing the same device - 4 disks alltogether.
2) It's because I say so and I'm an 8i OCP.

You have to set ORACLE_SID to your instance name, The oracle software 
can not gues the name of the  instance.
You can set the ORACLE_SID in the registey, the  global -, the local - 
or the the local session enviroment.

Hello:

I'm taking a 8i Backup  Recovery Practice test and believe the answer key 
might be off.

Question

Which statement regarding Recovery Manager with a database operating in 
NOARCHIVELOG mode is true?

A) Recovery Manager requires a recovery catelog
B) Recovery Manager syooirts multi-level incremental backups
C) Recovery Manager is compatible with Enterpise Backup utility
D) Recovery Manager only works in conjunction with a tap subsystem
Anwser key says that D is the correct answer.

I would say that C is the correct answer since only a full offline backup 
can be performed.

Thanks in Advance,

they are the same size - 16k (the block size for the db is 8k). The next
log is 8k in size and then there is another that is 16k before we see

In the alert log for the production db, it appears the log 1353 was

Has anyone seen this behavior before? Does anybody have any idea why it

From version 7.x you can manually start multiple archive processes by

Re: tim column in trace output

2003-01-28 Thread Peter Gram
 is *relative* tim values, not absolute ones. You can establish a
mapping of tim values to wall clock values by comparing the timestamp
   

in
 

a '***' line to the nearest tim value to it.

5. Oracle9i makes life a little more fun, because tim values become
microsecond (0.01s) values, and they appear to be unadulterated
gettimeofday() values, with an Epoch of 00:00:00 UTC, 1 January 1970
   

(we
 

*think* this is true on all platforms). Hence, it becomes easy to
convert from tim values to wall clock values and back with a simple
   

Perl
 

script that uses str2time and time2str function calls.

6. Finally, a minor detail correction: the tim of a given line in the
trace file tells you the time at which the given cursor action
*completed*. You certainly aren't incorrect by saying it's the time
   

that
 

something ran, but saying completed is a little more precise.

Anybody knows what is the reference point for the timing used in the
tim
column in the trace output, like in:

PARSE #3:c=0,e=0,p=0,cr=0,cu=0,mis=0,r=0,dep=0,og=4,tim=832261739
EXEC #3:c=0,e=0,p=0,cr=0,cu=0,mis=0,r=0,dep=0,og=4,tim=832261739

Apparently the scale is 100 per second for 8i and 976,562.5
(1,000,000,000/1024) for 9, but I am not quite clear what could be the
reference time (the time when counting of tim starts).  In different
databases I tried it, it is usually few months to a year back.

BTW, this column can be used if one needs to find out the exact time
when a
query from the trace was run.

Thanks.

I have my own law on ora-600s: If you supply all the required

Support is not gonna need them. If you miss out just one of those

Could also be related to db-links between v7 and v8...

But back to the good questions from Kirti: Have you set the funny

PS: I do beleive there are ways around this with an alter system or

Peter/Bjorn/someone can confirm this.

Hi Sinardy,

I've check several bug looking for the cause of this problem. 
However, what I've found is that Development could not diagnosis the 
problem other than the possibily hat there was some memory corruption 
that gave a bad SCN. Although, they could sometimes determine the 
root cause prior to the problem occurring by using certain parameters 
were set in the database.
Those parameters are:

a)_db_block_cache_protect.
b)_db_block_checking
c)DB_BLOCK_CHECKSUM
They also recommended running dbverify on all datafiles tomake sure 
all files are clean on disk.

IMPORTANT

These parameter may help later determine what cause the ORA-600 
[2662] (and it's not for certain that a cause can be found). They 
parameters does have some performance overhead, but unfortunately 
this is the only way that can help in catching and we have to wait 
until the problem happens again.

So, the bottomline is there is no list of reason for why this error 
occuring other than the error occurs when a data block SCN is ahead 
of the current SCN.

Sorry Sinardy, we don't have more information.

table.
Due to design/delivery constraints , i cannot modify the table.

ques 1 : if i do a 'select * from table' with where clause but no order by
clause,
	   will the Order of rows returned be the same whenever this query is
executed ?
	   Is this gauranteed by Oracle ?

ques 2 : if i export/import this table , then execute the same query,
	   will the Order of rows returned be the same as before the export/import
?

ques 3 : if i use the 'move' cmd to rebuild this table , then execute my
query,
	   will the Order of rows returned be the same as before the rebuild ?

any explanations are most welcome

many thanks

[Fwd: [Fwd: RE: Forms 3.0 ; Oracle 8i/9i ; Patch 380665 ; HP-UX 11]]

2002-09-26 Thread Peter Gram

  Hi Kurth

This is from Johannes that is not on the oracle-l mailing list.

I have no knowlegde about patch 380665 but I have a happy customer 
running Forms 3.0 (version Version 3.0.16.12 from the Oracle 7.2.3 
installation CD) in an Oracle 7.2.3 home on Sun Solaris (SunOS 5.7), 
with TWO_TASK set to point at an Oracle 9i instance on another server.

So it can work for sure!

I would imagine that there could be problems with the installation and 
execution of Forms 3.0 on some newer operating systems.



I tried for years to find a patch that would allow Forms 3.0 to work with
Oracle8.x.x. I think there is a path for NT, but none for Unix.

Time to bite the bullet and upgrade to Forms 4.5 or higher.

Hello guys,

I am trying to figure out the mystery of Patch 380665, which allows Forms
3.0 to be used with Oracle 8.1.7

I have a few questions

1. Does this patch exist or is it just a myth?
2. Is this a Database patch or Forms patch?
3. How to get this patch?

I would really appreciate if any of ull have travelled this path of trying
to make Forms 3.0 work with Oracle 8i.

Thanks

Re: log_file_sync io wait question

2002-09-18 Thread Peter Gram

Hi Pat

There is not a lot you can do since every commit will force a write to 
the disk !
You are hitting that limit of the disk that normally is app. 100 - 120 
I/O per sek.
The only real fix is change the application to do less commit's.
It will not help to change the size of the redo log buffer or the redo 
log files if you have multiple redo log
members on the same disk it will help to separate the members to 
different disk's but it will not fix the
design problem of committing for every insert.

Somebody might suggest you to put a chach on the redo log file system 
but don't this very dangerous since Oracle
assumes that writes to disk's are true writes and if you ever had a loss 
of the chach there is a big chance that
your database would loose transactions :-(



Pat Howe wrote:

We have a canned package that we use to insert approx 100 records/second
into one table (oltp environment).
Each record is just under 1K (datatypes = number and varchar).
There are several indexes that are build on the table as the records are
inserted.
Each  and every record is committed.
Therefore we are flushing the 'redo log buffer' to disk (online redo
logfiles) 100 times per second (once per commit).

Not surprisingly we have noticed IO waits which we believe are associated
with our 'Redo Log buffer'.  Namely ;
   log_file_sync = 180 waits/sec
   log_file_parallel_write = 180 waits/sec

We tried resizing the 'redo log buffer' from 16K to 256K - but we did not
notice any improvements.
Neither Log switching or archiving  seem to be excessive.
100 records per second seems to be our maximum speed without the application
queuing up and Oracle showing very high waits on log_file_sync and
log_file_parallel_writes.

Does anyone know how we might be able to minimize the IO waits?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Recover an unrecoverable database

2002-09-12 Thread Peter Gram




Hi Dan 

It should be possible to open that database ! 

1)  You should restore the databse from tape once more to make sure we
start on somthing clean.
2) Add the _allow_resetlogs_corruption=true to the parameter file (init.ora)

3) Mount the database and create new controlfiles
4) Do a fake recovery via 
  4.1) recover database;
  4.2) when it asks for a archive file type 'mogens'
  4.3) cancel the recovery session 
5) Open the database with resetlogs


You migth need to corrupt the Rollback as well with _corrupted_rollback_segments=(xx,
xx, xx)
where 'xx' are the names of the rollback segments in the database.

If the database makes a fuzz abut not being in Archive log mode that can
be fixed when you create the control file.

There are alwas the the real brut force way : create a database with the
same name and that same datafiles, redologfiles, and controlfile
and then copy the header blocks from the datafile's to the old database with
dd.

Here's the scenario - A backup was done of a database that had been
  

   
shutdown

   

  with the abort option. The redo logs (no archiving) are also backed up.
  

   
The

   

  controlfiles have since been lost.
Business request - Retrieve a schema that has since been dropped from the
database.

Attempted solution - restore the backups, open the db without performing
recovery (resetlogs and readonly corruption allowed). Unfortunately, this
resulted in an ORA-00600 when it attempted to read the SYSTEM datafile.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to open this db so we can get the data


  out of the schema? We don't care if it is not consistent.

All assistance is appreciated.

Re: Online vs offline backups

2002-06-21 Thread Peter Gram

All backupers

If doing a off-line backup some call it a cold backup you should
backup All datafiles, All control files, All Redolog files and All
Parameter files
this vil produce a self-contained package that will be able ti start
assuming no media recovery is needed.
I know that Rman vill not backup redolog file the reason for rman not
doing this is that Rman knows if it is safe
to omit the redolog files (The database has to bee in mount mode for
Rman to backup's )

The same person that advocated a cold backup
did not back up the online redo logs, so what use was it anyway, since the
only way they would force open their DB is with a resetlogs option anyway.


   For cold backup, oracle does not recommend backup the online redo
log. And if you restore the whole cold backup, why need the online redo log?
I am sure people doing cold backup will do shutdown normal/immediate, not
shutdown abort.So there is no need to backup the online redo log at all!
Backup the online redo log also take the risk of damage the current online
redo log when you want to do full recovery.
   So, never backup the online redo log when doing cold backup.

FM : and hopefully in time you will come to the realization that not all
that Oracle recommends is good, or has passed a decent degree of sanity
checking. But I can see that the PR and hype machine still works well.

Apologies for starting this pissing contest, I have my convictions based on
true life experiences, rather than from attending a course. I suggest
reading Rama Velpuri's book on backup and recovery first. Then if you want
to simply open the database as it was at the time of cold backup, if your
online redo logs have not been restored, you will need to perform recovery.
An you cannot restore what has not been backed up. Amen ! Chapter closed !

redo log corruptions are another deal altogether.

Peter - You can use the DBMS_REPAIR package included with Oracle to locate
the corrupt blocks. If the data in the corrupted blocks is extremely
important, you can use this to dump the block contents. Then you can change
the blocks so Oracle will skip the corrupted blocks. Then you can export the
table or copy the contents to another table.
Dropping the tables and recreating it from your export is also an
option.
Don't forget to rebuild indexes afterward.
Run ANALYZE TABLE VALIDATE CASCADE to find any other corrupt blocks
in other tables.
And turn on the init.ora parameter DB_BLOCK_CHECKING to detect any
further corruptions before they occur.
Good luck.

[2]  Is dbverify any good to troubleshoot this type of error?.  I currently
run a dbverify on Offline backups of the data files in question and no
errors are being reported.  Granted this is on a copy of the datafiles but
I ran a test before where I corrupted a datafile, took a copy, and the
dbverify reported problem with copy so I assume my logic is good here?.

[3] If I run ANALYZE TABLE xxx VALIDATE STRUCTURE CASCADE on offending table
is output reported to screen?
I have not run it yet as the DB itself is busy a lot of the time and above
is rcommended for quite time due to prevention of Selects, Inserts, Updates
and Deletes on object.

[4] What other methods could be used to troubleshoot this problem?.  As I
mentioned I have doubts about the vendor supplied application and would like
to prove one way or the other if some data corruption exists or not!

Any help with above would be much appreciated :)

Hi.

I have executed an explain plan on a dev and prod

are somewhat different (below). What could explan the
differences? For example, index usage (one plan uses
an index to get to all the data, another - access the

Re: TUNE DB

2002-05-30 Thread Peter Gram

Hi Seema

The radical thing to do is to turn off MTS for a start !
Why are you using MTS ?

You are not giving a lot of information on the db ?
To be able to give a proper answer we need to know how many days this db 
have been up running.
Is there a problem ?

As fare as I remember is Dispatcher Timer a Idle event and Virtual 
Circuit Status can be a Idle event as
well depending on the arguments.

But to be frank this looks like a db that has nothing to do or a db on a 
machine with lots cpu's ?

Re: grant sysdba rights

2002-05-15 Thread Peter Gram


The answer depends on what O/S you are on.

Unix :
When the oracle software was installed you where asked about a Unix 
group (normally called dba) that has privileges
this group is then compiled and linked into the Oracle executable.
When member of this group you can connect with / as sysdba and 
from there grant sysdba to the user

NT :
Since it is not possible to relink the code on NT the group is hard 
coded to ORA_DBA on NT/W2K
When member of this group you can connect with / as sysdba and 
from there grant sysdba to the user

VMS :
Here it is a system logical that i don't remember the name off ( 
Michael /  Mogens pleas help )
When having this logical set you can connect with / as sysdba and 
from there grant sysdba to the user

MVS :

Re: A trigger vs. default value in a table

2002-05-13 Thread Peter Gram

Hello Andrey

The correct answer depends on what you want !
if you can live with null values in the column then
a default for the column is OK, but if you want to
handle a insert with a null then you need a trigger.
Se the little example :

SQL create table t (a number, b number default 10);

Table created.

SQL insert into t (a) values (10);

1 row created.

SQL commit;

Commit complete.

SQL select * from t;

A B
-- --
10 10

SQL insert into t (a,b) values (10, null);

1 row created.

SQL commit;

Commit complete.

SQL select * from t;

A B
-- --
10 10
10

Re: Begin backup fails sporadically

2002-04-26 Thread Peter Gram

Hi Kip

When you next time have this problem check the v$backup table to verify 
that the file is not in backup mode, if this is tha case you
proberly have to log a iTAR with support.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Version is 8.0.6.3.0

I have several databases using the exact same set of generic backup scripts. 
The script that puts all tablespaces into backup mode is generated
automatically and done correctly.  Same is true for the script which takes all
the tablespaces out of backup mode.  The problem I am facing is that when this
script is invoked, one (and only one) of these databases occasionally has
problems.  Some tablespaces are successfully put into backup mode and some say

ORA-01146: cannot start online backup - file 15 is already in backup
ORA-01110: data file 15: ' datafile name '

The only things that would make sense to me is if two of these scripts were
running in parallel or if the prior day had some weird problem.  Neither of
these seem to be the case.  The only thing that seems to straighten things out 
is to runs these scripts manually.

Ideas?

Oracle had a problem with written to the file 
J:\ORANT\ORADATA\TDISPACH\DISDATA01_01.DBF this was happened because
Oracle did not have proper permission in NT to write to the file. There

1) the file was in shear
2) the acl was changed
3) oracle was started as a another user

Re: How to duplicate production database onto development box

2002-03-26 Thread Peter Gram
Title: How to duplicate production database onto development box



Hi

There are several ways to move a database :

1 : Shutdown the db and copy all the data files, redologfiles, control file
and the parameter file to the dev box then open the db.

2 : Take a online backup of the database and then copy the control file,
data files and the archiverfiles and do a incomplete recovery

3 : user RMAN duplicate command to make a copy of the database to the dev
box

1 - 3 are fast and easy to do.

4: use transportable table spaces to move part of the database to the dev
box is a possibility that work but requires more skills.

  Hi!
  We want to put an exact copy of our production database
(approx. 200 GB) onto a development box. What would be the best way to achieve
this? Export/import would take kinda long... ;)
  Would transportable tablespaces be the way to go?
  This is 8.1.7 on Sun Solaris.
  Thanks,

Re: RMAN Configuration Question

2002-03-05 Thread Peter Gram

Pat

There are several reasons to have multiple catalog, but the most 
importen one is that gives the possibility to upgrade the catalog 
without interfering
with other database backup's. There is as well the benefit if you at 
some time is going to query the catalog using  Sql you will not have to
join all the time with the db key

Pat Howe wrote:

I have just completed Oracle Education's Enterprise DBA Part 1B: Backup and
Recover course.
Page 11-5 states : It is recommended that you have a separate catalog for
each database.

My question is :
Why?   Does this help you cleanup the RMAN catalog if you ever drop a
database (you can drop the schema owner)?
Is this how others have configured their RMAN database ?

Thus I am seeing 2 Configuration Models ;
Have one schema owner per database that you are backing up.  
If you had two databases PROD and DEV then setup a RMAN-PROD and an
RMAN-DEV schema owner (different RMAN Catalogs) in the same RMAN tablespace
to manage each database's recovery info.  
VERSES
Have one schema owner (catalog) for all the databases that you are backing
up.
If you had two databases PROD and DEV then setup one schema owner RMAN
(one RMAN Catalog) in the RMAN tablespace to manage all database recovery
info.  

What are the pro's and con's?

Re: Parallelizing RMAN Backup

2002-02-28 Thread Peter Gram

Hi Pat

I don't know where you got the information on the Rman will not parallel 
the backup without using the filesperset
parameter. I only use the filesperset parameter when backing up archive 
files. It is the allocation of multiple channels
that determinate if it is possible to do backup's in parallel.

Pat Howe wrote:

I am researching RMAN and I am trying to understand how to parallelize the
backup.
I have come across the following statement in various papers and in the 8i
Backup and Recovery Course Material :

It is important to set FILESPERSET in the backup.  
This will ensure that each allocated channel only processes the specified
number of files.
If you DO NOT specify FILESPERSET then the backup would only be undertaken
by 1 channel and all other allocated channels would sit idle.

Yet in the 8.1.6 RMAN User's Guide and Reference it contradicts this (pg
1-31) :

The number of channels that you allocate affects the degree of parallelism
within the command.
RMAN internally handles parallelization.  You only need to specify : 
  1 'allocate channel' command
 The objects that you want to backup
Parallelism is exploited only within the context of a single command.

So it does not mention that you HAVE TO specify the FILESPERSET statement.

On digging further into the FILESPERSET statement the manual states (pg
1-36) :
The default value of this parm is calculated by RMAN as follows ;
RMAN takes the lower of the following 2 values ; 64 or
number-of-files/number-of-channels.

Page 1-37 gives an example of using the Default FILESPERSET - and how RMAN
would parallelize the backup.

Which is right ?  
Do you have to specifically specify the FILESPERSET parm in the BACKUP
command for RMAN to parallelize the backup operation?
or
Can you leave it out of the BACKUP command and use the default value ?


Thanks in advance

Re: Blobs and Extents

2002-02-22 Thread Peter Gram

Darren

a 1 :
===
I would use both thprof to make sure that the SQL is efficient and 
statpack to monitor the full database
a 2 :
===
I would never recommend to make the data files bigger than 2 Gb on unix, 
so anything up to 2 GB will be fine.
How small you what to make the files depends on the number of disk's or 
if you use raid to strip ? 

a 3 :
===
You would use locally managed table spaces and make the extend size 1, 
4, 10 or 512 Mb in this case it does not matter.

a 4 :
===
Yes, if the table space is read only you only need one backup but on the 
other hand who gives a dam on 4 - 6 GB tape per today

It is Oracle 8.1.7.2 on Tru64 Unix

From this I have a couple of questions.

1. I want to test different extent sizes for performance, what tool should I
use, tkprof or statspack

2. How big should the datafiles be, 500m, 1Gb etc.

3. As for the extents,  I am leaning towards a locally managed tablespace,
what kind of extent

this, just looking

4. And, once these are loaded, is there any advantage to having the
tablespace set to readonly ?

Re: Lost a redo disk

2002-02-20 Thread Peter Gram

Beth

Just for the record I hope that you understand that you have to do a 
full export and recreate the database and a full import into the newly 
created database to have a supported database.
The parameter _allow_resetlogs_corruption grants you right's to open the 
database even it it needed recover from the missing redo log
file.
The other thing to have in mind it that there is a possibility that you 
have lost committed transaction there was residing in the lost
redo log  :-(

I renamed the redo file to a disk that is working, and then set the

Subject:  Lost a redo disk


Hi everybody,

This all started with the halon firing in our data center last night around 10pm so 
you can imagine my condition.

I lost a disk that contained only redo logs.

When I try to open the database I get 

ORA-00313: open failed for members of log group 1 of thread 1
ORA-00312: online log 1 thread 1: 'F:\ORACLE\ORADATA\OWBREPOS\REDO01.LOG'
ORA-27041: unable to open file
OSD-04002: unable to open file

I thought what I needed to do was switch the log files, drop the members that are on 
the bad disk, and then I'd be able to open the database.

So I mounted the database and did 

  alter system switch logfile;

and its telling me ORA-01109: database not open

I thought I could swicth logfile with the database mounted?

Could someone suggest the right steps I should take to recover?

Many TIA,

Beth

Good day all,
I have been asked the following question a couple of time by our database

They have a bunch of small Access databases that they want to port into

figure I can use sql loader to load the access tables into Oracle. But the
tough part is, how do we have the users access the data once it is in
Oracle? Since these are pretty static databases and we don't have the
resources in house to develop front end tools to retrieve the data, I am
wondering if there is a slick, user friendly tool out there can help us
with this. Toad partially satisfies this need but I think it is an overkill
for data access only. Also, it would be nice to have a web browser

Alright I know now I am really push it...

First remember the old rule : If it's not broken don't fix it.

There is a rule of thumb that redo log switches should happened app. 
every 30 minutes, but if you se redo log switches
happening more often at some times and nobody is complaining then just 
ignore the it. If you have a performance problem
and you se redo log switches then create bigger redo logs so that 
switches happen app. every 30 minute.

Re: Code to Validate email addresses

2001-10-24 Thread Peter Gram

Hi

The definition is found in RFC 2822 Internet Message Format 
(ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2822.txt)


Oweson Flynn wrote:

Hi,

We have implemented a form that emails reports.  The user has to enter his
email address.

However, we are finding that a lot of users are entering incorrect and
invalid email addresses.

Obviously, we can do nothing if they enter an incorrect (but syntactically
correct) email address.

What I am looking for is:

1) A definition of the syntactically correct format of an email address
(from some sort of authoritative source)

2) Hopefully some pl/sql code that will validate a sting to see if it is a
valid email address.

If anyone can assist, I would appreciate it!

Re: Meaning of V$WAITSTAT statistics

2001-10-03 Thread Peter Gram

Hi all

Sorry for interrupting this thread !

I'm sorry to say that it is not possible to answer since time_statistics 
= false and there for the time column is zero. So we know that this db 
has waited on
(data block 335274, segment header 52,undo header 322 and undo block 
419) these different thing but we don't know for how long time and 
therefor we don't know if it is a problem ! Turn on time_statistics on 
the db and see what the wait time is then you might find that you have a 
problem or not

if it's not broken don't fix it

Re: Recovery Question

2001-08-20 Thread Peter Gram
Title: RE: Recovery Question



Hi Kamel

No, when using backup control file you are telling oracle that it should
not trust the control file to know when to end the recovery. The recovery
will keep on asking for archive log files until there are now more archivelogs
and since it dos not know where to stop you vill have to manule give the
destination of the last redologfile. After the database is up to date and
you can open it with resetlogs, I think you should try it with a test db
and see that that it just works !

Re: Hot Backup

Hi Veronica
There is no technical problem with nesting begin backup's, but it is
not generally recommended since when a teblespace is put in backup mode
it will generate more redo and if the full database is in backup mode you
could get a performance problem. Regaring scriprt to do the online backup
you can finde som nice scripts on

Re: huge datafiles/need help

2001-08-03 Thread Peter Gram

Hi Lyuda

This is not a nice situation to bee in, but the god new is that oracle can help
you since you are using version 8.1.6 !
You can use the ALTER INDEX index-name REBUILD TABLESPACE
new-tablespace_name; to move the index  to a new tablespace and this can even
be don online with ALTER INDEX index-name REBUILD ONLINE  TABLESPACE
new-tablespace_name; BUT then you have to look out for bug 1475310 that
should be fixed in 8.1.7.

 Bye the way, did anyone ever run a test how much stuff you can put on your
 disc before it dyes?  Well, yesterday I found a disc which was 99.07 % full.
 Anyway...
 The tablespace is ~ 50 % free.  The bad news is it doesn't let me to reduce
 the size of the datafiles by using 'alter database datafile ... resize...';.
 That tablespace contains 32 indexes.  Some of them are as large as 600 -800
 M.  I need to develop a plan of attack.
 My options are:
 1) drop and recreate the indexes;
 2) rebuild the indexes in different tablespace/tablespaces;
 3) export/import indexes or may be even tablespace all at once.

 Is there anyone who has done something similar before?
 All suggestions are greatly appreciated.  That database is screaming for
 help!!
