Hallo,

Maybe this sounds simple for all of you, but I have a table with the field
PRICE and that is with datatype varchar2 I want the data in that field to be
inserted in another table with  field PRICE, but that field has the datatype
NUMBER. How can I
easiest do this sql statement?

In the varchar2(30) field PRICE , table1 it looks like this

PRICE

12,50
37,50


The datype in table 2 is for that field NUMBER(7,2)

RE: [ORA-000060: Deadlock detected] Finding BOTH pieces of code that

2003-11-03 Thread Rajesh Dayal
Hi Branimir,

Two Suggestions:

1. This looks like having an issue with foreign key indexes. You can check for foreign 
keys and 
their indexes for tables having objects-id 17786 (457a)and  17775 (4571). If any 
of the columns 
of these two tables have foreign key relationship with other tables then probably 
you need to 
create one index on that column.

2. Another suggestion is to check initrans/maxtrans and PCTFREE parameter. If these 
are very
low and number of concurrent updates are higher then you need to increase these 
values.
I know you are not considering this as an option, but this might help in this 
case. In fact 
you can't change these parameter for existing data blocks. So you can re-load your 
data with 
these parameters in effect.

 Of course we have Gurus here who can add more inputs to this and correct me as 
well if found 
 to be wrong.

Subject:Fwd: [ORA-60: Deadlock detected]  Finding BOTH pieces of code that

I realize ORACLE-L could not be the best place to ask this question but 
(googling/metalink-ing did not help overly)... 

ORA-60 happens in our own application in the worst of possible places 
- at the customer's site. It happens intermittently. All I can do is look 
at the alert log for errors and follow the trail to the extremely verbose 
trace dumps and wonder. Clearly - I am over my head here as I have very 
little clue of what am I actually looking at. 

The question is how to interpret what trace dumps tries to tell (should I 
be scratching my head with it or is there some kind of magic behind TAR 
that would save the day)?

For instance - what is the meaning of this trace snippet (coming from
8.1.7.x):

Deadlock graph:
   -Blocker(s)
-Waiter(s)-
Resource Name  process session holds waits  process session holds
waits
TM-457a-24  37SX 17  14
SSX
TM-4571-17  14   SSX 24  37
SX
session 37: DID 0001-0018-0002  session 14: DID 0001-0011-0002
session 14: DID 0001-0011-0002  session 37: DID 0001-0018-0002
Rows waited on:
Session 14: no row
Session 37: no row


On the assumption that the source of the above problem has nothing
to do with INITTRANS/PCTFREE combo (as per metalink thread # 247579.999)
but the culprit really is the broken app - what would be the 'proper' way 
to find which two pieces of code deadlocked each other?

What comes to my mind ain't a pretty sight - turning on sql tracing on the 
database level (and suffering worsened performance), then once error happens
finding out exact time from alert log, converting it to matching TIC number 
in 3 sec range (if I understand correctly Oracle will detect and break
deadlock
after 3 seconds). Once this range is known for 3 sec. window, digging
through 
session traces would reveal what were other sessions doing at the time may
be 
narrowing down the search to few possible sources of contention. 

Problem with this approach is way too much work to set up then 'dig' through

all (tons of) trace files without any real guarantees source of deadlocking 
would be obvious after all this effort. So the question is - how to help 
duhveloper(s) by pointing closer to the 'root' of deadlocking?

Subject:Fwd: Re: char(1) VS varchar2(1)

Trailing columns with NULL values do not occupy any space, not even a length
byte.

Non-trailing columns with NULL values have a constant value of 0xFF (255) in
the length byte consuming just the one byte.

Column values with a length of 0-254 bytes have one length byte, and values
with a length greater than 254 bytes have 3 bytes, where the first byte is
the constant 0xFE (254) and the remaining 2 bytes actually have the length.

For example:

=
SQL create table xyz

  3 c1 number,
  4 c2 number,
  5 c3 number,
  6 c4 number,
  7 c5 number

SQL insert into xyz values (1, null, 1, null, 99);

OK, the checkpoint made sure that everything was flushed to the datafile.
Now, we can look at things using the UNIX od command:

$ dd if=/u01/oradata/PRD/tools_02.dbf bs=8192 skip=5858 count=1 | \
= od -x

000 0602008016e2002f5a390104

0017760 c102ff02c102ff04c36464645a390601
002

OK, now remember that data rows fill from the end of the block, working
backwards, not from the beginning.

So, at the end of the block, we see the 4-byte block tailer (5a39 0601).
Just before that, we see the first row:

2c 01 05 02 c1 02 ff 02 c1 02 ff 04 c3 64 64 64
   +++--++--+--+
row hdr  c1   c2 c3   c4 c5

Then, just prior to that, we see the second row:


2c 01 05 02 c1 03 ff 02 c1 03 ff 04 c3 64 64 64
   +++--++--+--+
row hdr  c1   c2 c3   c4 c5

The third byte (0x05) of each row indicates that five columns comprise the
row.

The numbers are represented in 100s-complement which is a form of base-100
arithmetic.  For column C1, the first byte (hex 0x02) is the length byte.
The next byte (hex 0xC1 or decimal 193) is both the sign and the exponent,
while the next byte (hex 02 again) is the mantissa or significant digits in
100s-complement.  To avoid a value of 0x0, they add one to the value, so the
value of 1 is represented as 0x02.

So in the first row, the value of 1 in column C1 is shown by the three
bytes 0x02c102.  The null value in column C2 is shown by the one byte 0xff.
The value of 1 in column C3 is shown by the three bytes 0x02c102.  The
null value in column C4 is shown by the one byte 0xff.  The value of
99 in column C5 is shown by the five bytes 0x04c3646464.

All,

I just purchased a Oracle9i Fundamentals I exam guide published by Oracle 
Press and am very disappointed with the quality of the publication.  There 
seems to be quite a few mistakes, misleading sentences and typos (not in 
the Errata) which is very frustrating.

Also, there is a question in the Managing Tablespaces and Datafiles 
chapter that replies on the order of the multiple-choices, however the quiz 
software randomises the choices so the question no longer makes sense - and 
is impossible to answer as presented.

For those that have completed the OCP exam, is this what I am to expect?

Does anyone know of any other resources I might be able to use?  How are 
the OCP exam guides published by Sybex?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

_cpu_count

As per metalink, meant for those exceptional Operating Systems, where OS does not 
support a system call so that Oracle can get the number itself. 

So normally this value is not required to be set by DBAs. You have to set this when 
cpu_count is not showing the actual number of CPUs.

RE: iAS Apache name-based virtual hosting

2003-07-22 Thread RAJESH DAYAL
Title: Message









I think with name based virtual hosting you have to have a different virtual
server name and diff IP Address (In port based virtual hosting you can have same
host names but can listen on different ports). The server has to be able to
listen on this new address (probably this name/IP resolution can be done at DNS
level). 



Also the apache is supposed to listen on both the server names, so your
old server-name will keep working.



In my case I used MS Cluster administrator to create another virtual IP
address and corresponding virtual host name.



So suppose the original server was configured with name say server11 with
IP address 176.80.0.60, and additional virtual server name server12 with IP 176.80.0.65
was configured. Then the newly created virtual hostname server12 will have
following entry in httpd.conf :



#

NameVirtualHost 176.80.0.65 



VirtualHost 176.80.0.65 


DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/htdocs1 


ServerName server12 


ErrorLog logs/error_server12_log 


CustomLog logs/access_ server12_log common 

/VirtualHost

##



you should be able to do http to both the servers i.e.



http://server11 

http://server12



both should be working.

RE: RAC or Oracle Fail Safe

2003-07-19 Thread RAJESH DAYAL
Title: RE: RAC or Oracle Fail Safe










Hi Hussain,



 Replies
are inline .



With
reference to what you said about using both the nodes, you meant that we can
install another database (lets say for reporting purpose) or/and also 9iAS on
one node and our main production database on the other



Yes you can do that. You can very well make use of
other node, in above ways. Advantage of running some standard services would be
that they will also fail-over to the surviving node. So _effectively_ you are using both the nodes
at any point of time. Here we have 2 node cluster where one node is running
Database and another node is running 9ias Server. and they failover to each
other automatically if one of them them goes down. In fact you can decide your
failback policies also so that the nodes know when (may be off-peak hour) to
fail-back once the failed node is back. 



Incase of
OFS, the database service fails over from one node to the other, and then it
starts, but it is automatic, right?



 Yes, it is a
configurable parameter and can be set to automatic mode.



When you talk
about Resources and that they cant be shared, you are not referring to the
shared storage vault (we are using DAS  Direct Attached Storage) because that
has to be at least available to both the servers. And when the database fails
over from one server to the other, and it starts its services on the other
server, then the obviously that other server will make use of the DAS on which
reside our datafiles.



I think you got me wrong here. They cant be shared
at the same point of time. Actually the shared storage would be physically
connected to both the nodes. And they can/will have multiple drives defined on
them ( say U,V,W,X).So at one point of time say UV would be owned by node1
and WX would be owned by node2. If node1 fails then node2 will own all the
4 drives U,V,W and X.



RAC costs
roughly 20k$ per CPU and it doesnt come bundled with Oracle 9i License? (For
confirmation purposes)



 Absolutely
right.



From
various mails I gather that OFS is basically a safe bet, if the hardware
supporting is good. And if, God-forbid, one server goes down then the only time
lapse is the time it takes to start the services on the other server.



Here I would beg to differ. RAC is more safe. _Almost_ half of your online user (who are
on surviving node) wont even notice the node failure when one node in a RAC
environment goes down. And those who were unlucky users (connected to failed
node), can connect immediately to the surviving node, without any delay. Of
course you need to configure these parameters manually. While in OFS
environment your users have to wait till the time surviving node brings up the
database and all related services (listener etc) completely. 

The price you may for these features is more money
and more complex database environment to manage.



The
transactions taking place at the time when main server goes down will be lost,
I mean it will give a feeling of hung database or some other error.



 I
think users will have a
hung screen with/without some ORA error message.



Hope this helps you decide,



Regards,

Rajesh

RE: RAC or Oracle Fail Safe

2003-07-17 Thread RAJESH DAYAL
Title: RE: RAC or Oracle Fail Safe






Hi Hussain !

RAC can have Active-Active or Active-Passive combination for two nodes. While OFS can't give you Active-Active combination of two nodes. Basically a resource sharing is not possible in Oracle Fail safe so one resource can be used by only one node at one point of time. ( Resource means Hard Disk Space, Oracle Service, Listener etc).

RAC can give Transparent Application Failover TAF which is out of consideration in OFS.

In case of node failure on RAC System, the user will just need to attempt relogin and he will be connected _immediately_ to another surviving instance ( If tnsnames.ora is configured properly). While there is a significant amount of delay in case of OFS, the Database service has to failover from one node to another node and this may take it's own _sweet_ amount of time based on amount and type of activity being performed on the database.

Of course both the systems are screwed when your (shared) storage system is down ;-)

Lastly why would someone want to use only 1 out of 2 nodes when it is possible to use both the nodes? One possible answer is that, on one node you configure One server (say 9iAS) and on another node you configure database. Then under normal condition they will run on their respective nodes and when one fails they would switch-over to the surviving node. So your performance may suffer for the time during which any node is down.

So you are the best judge to decide now ;-)

Just my .2 c

Rajesh

Answers in line...

-- I also believe that setting up RAC is more complex,

That's not totally true, For a DBA it shouldn't matter much, whether he is setting up RAC or OFS. But yes relatively RAC is a bit complex to manage.

-- and any change in node shifting (when active is down, passive becomes active) is transparent to the user

Not true really, user's session will flash error message and he will have to re login. This is true in both the cases(unless you implement TAF Transparent Application Failover logics in your application for RAC. One major difference would be that in RAC user can re-login immediately, while in OFS he has to wait till the other node bring the database up.

-- Doesn't the second node automatically take over?

Yes other node can be configured to take over automatically base on some simple in-built logic. But a DB recovery might be required depending on specific cases.

-- And this means that the user has to log in again, do I get it right?

 Yes you are right here.

Thank you to all those who replied and who intend to reply to this one :)

We are using Dell PE4600 servers. My concern was that I read it somewhere that if one of the node goes down, then the clients have to restart the application to log in again to the database, is that true? And is it any different on RAC?
We have the licensed RAC and Oracle Fail Safe CDs, so that is not an issue. I also believe that setting up RAC is more complex, so we wanted to confirm that if Fail Safe gives us HA, 24x7, and any change in node shifting (when active is down, passive becomes active) is transparent to the user then we should go for Fail safe.
By the way, we intend to keep cluster settings of ACTIVE and PASSIVE, is there any issue regarding this?

Tanel Poder: you said that,  in event of failure you can start up instance on another node that will mount, recover and open the database.
Doesn't the second node automatically take over? And this means that the user has to log in again, do I get it right?

Hi!

RAC - One database, two (or more) instances servicing it concurrently. If
one node crashes, second one starts recovering, your uncommitted
transactions and session state variables (package variables) on failed
instance are lost.

FailSafe - One database, one instance servicing it at any time, in event of
failure you can start up instance on another node that will mount, recover
and open the database.

With RAC you can have some kind of transparent failover which is able to
reexecute your queries on survived instance, but AFAIK for uncommitted
transaction survivability your app has to be coded to support it. Also, with
RAC you may scale your system up to support more users in some cases.

RAC is additional $20k per CPU, FailSafe comes with EE, I believe.

Tanel.

  If the log buffer is at least 4MB, then increasing it will not help,

  (i) 1 MB is filled up
  (2) 1/3rd is filled up

Increasing log_buffer size is an option, if it is really small.
I would also check if the redo logs are on a busy disk. If so, try
  moving those (or other busy data files on the same disk) to other

RE: Oracle version??

2003-02-27 Thread Rajesh Dayal
Hi Chip,

I am talking of log directory(N:\Oracle\Inventory\logs and not
N:\Oracle\Inventory\components), where every Installer action is logged
and not . This doesn't matter whether your Oracle.exe is replaced or
not. All of your OUI actions will be logged with all the relevant
information and typically the file names are of following format.

installActions2003-01-21_12-01-02PM.log

So if you put little extra effort digging these files (depending on
size, timestamp etc.) you can find out what is last activity you
performed on what ORACLE_HOME and so the precise patch level is also
available there...

And that YP-ZP I mean XP, I would really hate to see a
Oracle Database on that ;-)...

Cheers,
Rajesh

In the registry My
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\inst_loc specifies the
location of the inventory folder (defaults to C:\Program
Files\Oracle\Inventory).  Note: some Oracle patches
do replace oracle.exe without using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI)
so the inventory would have no
record of the patch (e.g. 8.1.7.4.6).  Inside the inventory folder,
Components and Patches have folders
for components installed by OUI.  For example, my inventory folder
contains these folders:
N:\Oracle\Inventory\Components\oracle.server\8.1.7.0.0\1\resources
N:\Oracle\Inventory\Components\oracle.server\9.0.1.1.1\1\resources
N:\Oracle\Inventory\Components\oracle.server\9.2.0.1.0\1\resources
N:\Oracle\Inventory\Patches\oracle.rdbms\8.1.7.4.1\1\resources
N:\Oracle\Inventory\Patches\oracle.rdbms\9.0.1.4.0\1\resources
N:\Oracle\Inventory\Patches\oracle.rdbms\9.2.0.2.1\1\resources

Note: the version numbers (folder names) do match my OUI installation of
Oracle servers and patches.

When using Windows XP Pro, the properties of oracle.exe is interesting -
the version displayed near the
top is 0.0.0.0, yet the File Version near the bottom of the dialog box
does display the correct version.
Wonder how Windows XP Pro finds the correct version, while Windows 2000
Pro can't see it.

Have Fun :)

RE: how to make sql prompt like USER@DATABASE ?

2003-02-18 Thread Rajesh Dayal








Sorry, I
missed your question earlier (too busy to check all the mails everyday)..




In the last line of my last mail I had mentioned that 




 Alternatively you can create a file with above lines, put that file
in bin and call it anytime to make your prompt...




 So
you can create a file say con1.sql (in your bin directory) with following
content




ACCEPT USER CHAR PROMPT 'User: ' 

ACCEPT PSWD CHAR PROMPT 'Password: ' HIDE 

ACCEPT DBNAME CHAR PROMPT 'Database: '

CONNECT USER@DBNAME/PSWD

set heading off

set term off

set feedback off

spool myprompt.lst

select 'set sqlprompt ' || SYS_CONTEXT
('USERENV', 'session_user') || '@' || SYS_CONTEXT ('USERENV', 'DB_NAME') ||
''

from dual

/

spool off

@myprompt.lst

set heading on

set term on

set feedback on




 

 While reconnecting from existing sql session you
can call con1.sql and have your prompt set.



Cheers,

Rajesh

what if i logged in with SYSTEM first then conn sys/pswd@db?
it's still show SYSTEM @db.

RE: re SHUTDOWN ABORT -- was RE: Debate on rc commands Solaris and

2003-02-03 Thread Rajesh Dayal
I totally agree

I am witness of one of these untested combination resulting in true disaster .

And the combination was shutdown immediate to an extremely busy database (with no 
response), followed by shutdown abort and all the data files got corrupted. We could 
not recover that big production database from that corruption of all the datafiles and 
we had to go back to Old and valid set of backup. That was Oracle 7.3.4 running 
telecom database around a year back.

Sine then I am too shaky on using shutdown abort, I avoid it unless it is as extreme 
urgency and if at all I have to use it, I never do it after shutdown immediate 

Just my 2 cents,
Rajesh

I have to say that I still have an emotional
response to 'shutdown abort', despite knowing
that logically it ought to be perfectly safe.

The reason for this is the lack of stress testing
that goes on at Oracle Corp.  In most (if not
all) cases, the only blanket stress test that
the software gets is from production end-users.

How many millions of times per day is the
message passing mechanism for parallel
query tested ?  And it still has bugs.

How many times per day is shutdown abort
tested - how many possible combinations of
events coinciding with a shutdown abort have
not yet received a single test ?

I find it very hard to shake the feeling that
somewhere there is a code path that will
eventually result in a big problem for someone
once they switch to a regular shutdown abort.

Alter system checkpoint... You don't say...

Hey, this is the first time this thread has concluded without the
usual you guys better watch out b/c yer gonna break your database!
post.

I'd say this universal support for ABORT over IMMEDIATE represents a
dramatic change in the prevailing DBA attitude over, say, two years
ago.

How do you suppose that happened?

:-)

The only dissenter was Dan.  Dan, what's the difference between a
kernel transaction and a regular transaction?  Are you talking about
the O/S kernel or Oracle?  Can you explain in more detail what the
kernel transaction does to make Oracle unrecoverable after ABORT?

I'm still mulling over that 'alter system checkpoint.'  Sounds
familiar.

Portal installation and sqlplus

2002-12-28 Thread Rajesh Dayal
Hallo All,

I am bugged up with portal installation. Firstly I got a message
at the end of Portal Installation that that

WWSEC_ENABLER_CONFIG_INFO$ contains no entries

To troubleshoot this problem I tried running portal diagnostic
utility diag.cmd ( Metalink Note 134188.1). When I run this then it says
You must set  ORACLE_HOME . 
When I set ORACLE_HOME it says  SQL*Plus not available. This Looks like
during installation also portal installer could not access SQLPlus
resulting these errors. 

9iAS Version 1.2.2.1 on WIN2000 Platform.

In fact, I can access SQL*Plus from command prompt only till my
ORACLE_HOME is not set. The moment I Set ORACLE_HOME on my command
prompt it simply doesn't execute SQLPLUS and simply gives the prompt
back without any error.

I would really appreciate any help...

Thanks in advance,

Rajesh Dayal

Just move one of the controlfiles to another directory before startup of your cold

But why you need this, at least the people who are managing the databases, 
should know that it's backup time and they should not try to start. And 
those who don't know the backup timings shouldn't be having privileges to startup

Performance on TRU64 Cluster

2002-11-29 Thread Rajesh Dayal

Hi Guys,

We are in the process of configuring Oracle 9i Release 2 on
TRU64 Cluster (2 ES40s with RA3000, with SCSI cluster N/W no FC Channel
). So far we have done just the installation( No database creation). The
problem is that System looks very slow. Perform is perfectly OK when you
perform some activity on single node, but the moment you try to do same
thing on both the nodes, it is having problems and takes hell lot of
time. For example while starting gsd domain, from one nodes it takes
fraction of second, while from other it takes atleast 10-15 seconds.
Even while running root.sh this was damn slow on both the nodes, and
took at least 10 good minutes. Is IT Normal??? I can't imagine this to
be a normal behavior. 

Well, here are my Kernal Parameters, that I tried to change before
installation...

proc: 
max_per_proc_address_space = 2 gig 
per_proc_address_space = 2gig 
per_proc_stack_size = 33554432
max_per_proc_stack_size = 500m
per_proc_data_size = 201326592
 
vm: 
new_wire_method = 0 
vm_swap_eager = 1 Earlier this was set as vm-swap-eager = 1 and not
vm_swap_eager =1 
ubc_maxpercent = 70 
gh_chunks = 518   I tried setting this to 518 but after booting
this comes out to be 0 

vfs 
fifo_do_adaptive defaults = 0 
ipc: 
shm_max = 2139095040 
shm_mni = 256 
shm_min = 1
shm_seg = 1024 
ssm_threshold = 0  I tried setting this to be 0 but after
booting this has become a very large value (atleast 20 digit value)
 
rdg: 
msg_size = 32768 
max_objs = 5120 
max_async_req = 256 
max_sessions = 200
rdg_max_auto_msg_wires = 0 
rdg_auto_msg_wires = 0 
 
rt: 
aio_task_max_num = 300   I tried setting this to be 300 but after
booting this has become 307

Hope someone would provide me their Kernal Parameter values and help
trouble-shooting me. Could this performance problem be related to some
hardware problem?? So far Hardware is also not fully tested, and this is
a brand new setup. 

While bringing the system up we see some errors messages related to
Eager Swap mode and Asynch I/O.


Appreciate your help,
Rajesh

I try to clone my database . I have
the datafiles on D:\yedek123 and want to create the control files . 

What I do is: 

set oracle_sid=new_sid



svrmgrl internal/

startup nomount pfile=new_pfile



CREATE CONTROLFILE DATABASE
TEST2 RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG
 MAXLOGFILES 32
 MAXLOGMEMBERS 2

But When I run the create control
file script , I am encountering the error below.

CREATE CONTROLFILE DATABASE
TEST2 RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG

ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01161: database name TESTDB in file header does not match given name of TE
ST2
ORA-01110: data file 1: 'D:\yedek123\SYSTEM01.DBF'

TESTDB is the original database . 

TEST2 is new DB. 



What is the problem ? 

Thank you.

Hi Aleem,

You can view this info in DBA_SOURCE view.

Best way is to query like this .

SET PAGES 100
select text from dba_source where name = 'EUL$GET_FOLDER_NAME' and OWNER =

why Try selecting all columns and see the diff ;-)

RE: sqlplus question

2002-01-29 Thread Rajesh Dayal

Thanks Stephan,
Your suggestion had motivated me and I wrote the code,
after RTFM.

Sameer,

I didn't scheduled the job on OS because this should an Oracle Job,
log switching has nothing to do with OS (you don't trouble a company 
GM when the work should be done by a Normal Manager right??). 
And you need to handle the error conditions of OS when your 
DB is down, which is eliminated in this case. 

Any-way thanks to all, 
Rajesh

And-yes, the code is like this:

create or replace PROCEDURE SWITCH1 IS
  c   number;
  d   number;
begin
  c := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
  dbms_sql.parse(c, 'alter system switch logfile', 1);
  d := dbms_sql.execute(c);
  dbms_sql.close_cursor(c);
commit ;
END;

Look in the doc for the dbms_sql package. Hardly more complicated than
'execute immediate' for DDL (you declare a handler for the cursor, then
it's done in two calls, parse and execute).

Yea, you got the right point. I was using a server, which had
a P4 processor.
After lots of searches on metalink, I found the problem and
The workarounds ;-))
Great Bug for Great architecture ;-)

Thanks for your response,

Any-body had any similar experience?
Oh yeahand how. Yours is a Pentium 4 box ? then read on...
It's a well-known problem...
The reason for this is that the P4 architecture has problems with the Java
Just
In Time installer.
I'm not going to repeat it here.
The detailed answers are on orafaq.com, just search on installation windows

RE: Oracle 7.1 Listener question

2001-11-19 Thread Rajesh Dayal

If you find listener files in oracle installation then it is 
there otherwise not ;-))

I think it was there. I had worked with 7.2.3 and even now
I can see some of them around. Listener is there. So I think
even with 7.1 it would be there. Juck check the following dir,

$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin

if you can see listener.ora and tnsnames.ora directory it means
it is there.

Dear List,
Pl excuse me for asking a very old question. In one of our client Site
are running Oracle 7.1 in SCO Unix. The Appln is unix based and they
connect to Oracle via Dumb terminals using I/O card and not network
card. We have to migrate the application to Client Server Mode. So we
have to install a network card and make listner up and running to accept
the connections. The person who installed Oracle 7.1 says that in 7.1
there is no listener and from 7.3 only Oracle came out with the concept
of listner.

So Gurus some of you might worked in 7.1 in any platform. Could you
recollect and tell me whether listener was there in 7.1. I had browsed
technet documentation, but there are only 7.3 and upwards documentation
and no 7.1 documentation.

Thanks in Advance

RE: Import Help

Hi Sujatha,

First you import the definitions into a logfile and then create
the tablespaces by editing
the datafile locations.

Imp userid=system/manager full=y file=fulldump.dmp log=fulldump.log

When you execute above command, the logfile fulldump.log would have all
the tablespace definition

separately to create the tablespaces.

Oracle Archiving insanely

2001-11-04 Thread Rajesh Dayal

H All,

I am facing a very typical problem. One of my client's database
has suddenly started archiving
like mad. There is no change ( claimed by users) made to the database. I
checked Alert log, but could
not find anything.
Many times it generates up to 50 Mb of Archives per minute(
Earlier max upto 2-3 Mb/Min). I 
did shutdown immediate, which took around 15 min ( acceptable), but
immediately after next startup
(with no user logged on), in next 3 minutes, it generated 100 Mb of
Archives ( how'z that possible) ??? 
How can I find out what is the thing that's causing such a
massive load on database. There is no 
hotbackup going on. There is no Oracle scheduled job running. On OS side
also there is no scheduled job in
cron. Please suggest how to get down to the problem. How can I find out
which session/user is generating
so much of Redo? What possible preventive measures can I take???

We are on Oracle 8.1.6.0.0 on TRU64 Unix.

Appreciate your suggestions and immediate help,

Rajesh

RE: stop listener remotely

2001-10-30 Thread Rajesh Dayal


I would cut N Paste one of my previous mails in response to this ( too
lazy to type again ;-))


Hi All !!
Today I came across a typical Hole in Listener Security.  If you have
lsnrctl utility (or Database installation) at one Box, then you can stop
the listener on another Box. Just change the parameter file
(listener.ora) to have hostname of another (may be production server)
box. Now goto lsnrctl and fire stop command. you would notice that the
local listener is running but the remote listener is down...
This is more serious issue on platforms like Unix and VMS where you can
control listener (locally) only if you are a member of DBA group. This
means that Listener doesn't have any cross OS check in it
Is this a known issue/bug. Any-ideas, any patches? Oracle Corp guys,
what you say? 
Waiting for you views..

RE: Hot Backup Issue

2001-10-02 Thread Rajesh Dayal

I think, I need to answer this original post( late, 
because our time zone is different ;-))
I was doing this in the test environment ( which I 
mentioned in my original post too) with total database 
size of 250 Mb. To make the testing easier I had adopted 
some random method. At that point of time I didn't care 
whether I choose method 1 or method 2 ( described below).
My motive was to design and document a full proof method for 
recovery from Hotbackup in case of any kind of failure. 
Somehow I was missing the clue in one of the test cases and 
I posted the query describing my original steps honestly
BTW I am aware of consequences of putting all the TS 
( of Production environment) in backup mode in one stretch 
for hot backup purpose.  Any-way, I thank everybody for 
contributing.

Hello,

Slightly unrelated question... is it better to (in pseudo code) :

1) 

for each tablespace loop
put tablespace in backup mode
end loop

for each datafile in the database loop
copy data file
end loop

for each tablespace loop
put tablespace in normal mode
end loop


or 2)

for each tablespace loop
put tablespace in backup mode
for each datafile in this tablespace loop
copy data file
end loop
put tablespace in normal mode
end loop


What I'm doing is (2), but I notice that Rajesh is doing (1). What are
the pros and cons of each approach? (I'll probably use RMAN at some
point, anyway :0) ).

Hot Backup Issue

2001-10-01 Thread Rajesh Dayal

Hi All,
I am trying for hot backup restore/recovery.
Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 on WIN 2K Server. I am performing
the operations in following order:

1. Put all the tablespaces in backup mode.
2. Copy all the datafiles to backup location.
3. Do end backup for all the tablespaces. Also switch logfile 
   after every end backup ( some more switch logfile at the end).
4. Shutdown the database ( after all its test instance).

When I try to completely recover the database using 
backed up datafile the recovery goes upto last archived logfile
and even after applying last archived logfile it asks for the
next archived logfile. 
This is a very awkward situation, how can I provide next 
archived logfile if there is no activity and I had shutdown the
database immediately after last switch logfile.

If I try to open the database, then I get following error:

ORA-01113: file 1 needs media recovery
ORA-01110: data file 1: 'D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\OHIR\SYSTEM01.DBF'

Upon checking the metalink, some guys suggest, using
_allow_resetlogs_corruption = true. But I am afraid of using this,
because I have to implement this into production environment too
(where same problem is happening).

After lots of testing I have found that incomplete recovery 
(cancel based) goes fine with the same backup and I can open the
database without any error. But keeping the needs of production
database in mind, it would be very difficult to do an incomplete 
recovery every time.
Why can't I perform complete recovery? Am I missing something?
I hope someone on this list would have experienced the problem and 
would have got the solution as well. Please share your experience...

Rajesh

I am making the assumption here that you are doing 

recover database using backup controlfile   when you do the backup

In this case, what is happening to you is normal. The controlfile
doesn't know what the last scn is supposed to be, so all you have to do
is cancel the recovery once the last logfile has been applied and open
the database resetlogs and you will be fine

RE: cached tables

2001-09-30 Thread Rajesh Dayal




  Just by executing the command 
  
  alter table xxx cache 
  ;
  Table won't come in cache. You have to select rows 
  from the table to get itinto 
  cache. Another point is that 
  kept field is meant for pl/sql packages and functionsand not for objects 
  like tables/indexes etc. Below is full details of objectsand their codes that can be kept on database 
  startup.
  
   
  -- 
  Value Kind of Object to 
  keep -- 
  - 
  -- -- 
  P 
  package/procedure/function -- 
  Q sequence 
  -- 
  R trigger 
  -- 
  T type 
  --JS 
  java source 
  --JC 
  java class -- 
  JR java resource 
  -- 
  JD java shared data 
  -- 
  C 
  cursor
   So just run the command , select * from xxx ; 
  and select * from yyy, and finally 
  check after long 
  timeto verify that only xxx is in cache and yyy is flushed out 
  from
  cache.
   
  
  Of 
  course for verifying you can use,
  
  select name, owner from 
  v$db_object_cache where name in ( 'xxx', 'yyy') ;

RE: DB Restore

2001-09-24 Thread Rajesh Dayal

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your reply.
Here the scenario is different. I am doing it for
the sake of testing, will put in production after
testing. 
Sometimes due to involved complexities and available 
skills at location you have to be dependent on third party 
tools. I mean, the client has too many servers ( plus too
much of data to be backed up) and they want to centralize 
this backup issue, which looks great isn't it? 
Any more (more positive) replies are welcome.

Rajesh,

I haven't used this combination.
I'm assuming that you're attempting to perform the restore now out of
necessity, not out of testing.
Restore the files to some other directory and manually copy them to
local storage of the Oracle Server. 
Recover the effected files manually.
Call ARCServe support in the morning.

This is why dependency on third party tools for backup and recovery is
less than optimal.

Rajesh,
 I am afraid indexfile option will not show such information. 
 If using exported dump file is opted for such information, then it has
to
be extracted using either 'strings' command (UNIX) or by importing using
the
show=y log=logfile option. The logfile will then have to be edited to
fish
out the required information, which may need quite a bit of editing to
get a
working SQL. I like the 'strings' better for such tasks.

Since you also wont bepruging data , i'd hash partition the materialized

 EVERY column.
 
 I will have a nightly maintenance window for loads of prior day's
data. I'm
 thinking to do a shutdown, change the init.ora to tune for heavy
batch,
 startup, drop indexes, load data, recreate indexes, shutdown, backup,
 startup with init.ora tuned for querying.
 
 question:
 
 I've always worked on either batch reporting databases or OLTP, this
will be
 the first semi, sort of data warehouse for me. Advice please on how to
build
 this, as I am doing this one from scratch and can plan it.
 
 I'm thinking:
 
 database will be 8.1.7, Solaris 2.7
 
 rbs and temp tablespaces as LMTs, remaining tablespaces
dictionary-managed
 
 db_block_size 16K
 
 a large table tablespace with initial/next at 10M
 a large index tablespace as above
 
 a small table tablespace with initial/next at 16K
 a small index tablespace as above
 
 possibly partitioning (I have to check our licenses) on the timestamp
field.
 
 Any suggestions, gotchas, this is WRONG, here's how to do it
comments?
 
 Thanks
 
 Rachel

OT: Micsoft Technically Correct

2001-07-25 Thread Rajesh Dayal

A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when an electrical
malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and
communications equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could
not determine the helicopter's position. The pilot saw a tall building,
flew toward it, circled, and held up a handwritten sign that said 'WHERE
AM I?' in large letters. People in the tall building quickly responded
to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a building window.
Their sign said 'YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER.' The pilot smiled, waved,
looked at his map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and
landed safely. After they were on the ground, the copilot asked the
pilot how he had done it.

I knew it had to be the Microsoft Building, because they gave me a
technically correct but completely useless answer.

Listener Security !!

2001-07-23 Thread Rajesh Dayal

Hi All !!

   Today I came across a typical Hole in Listener Security.
If you have lsnrctl utility (or Database installation) at one
Box, then you can stop the listener on another Box. Just change
the parameter file (listener.ora) to have hostname of another
(may be production server) box. Now goto lsnrctl and fire stop
command. you would notice that the local listener is running
but the remote listener is down...
This is more serious issue on platforms like Unix and VMS 
where you can control listener (locally) only if you are a 
member of DBA group. This means that Listener doesn't have any
cross OS check in it
Is this a known issue/bug. Any-ideas, any patches? Oracle
Corp guys, what you say? 
Waiting for you views..

Try to give full path of .profile file e.g.

Here make sure that your .profile file doesn't
call another shell (like ksh -o emacs).

Another alternative is to give the full path

/u03/app/oracle/816/bin/svrmgrl  !
connect internal
shutdown immediate

   Qs. What do you Folks Advice ? Should I Given in to the 80-20
 Rule Or 
 Still Endeavour to persist for optimizer_mode=CHOOSE ? 
 [Lisa Koivu]  
 I can tell you that just analyzing everything, setting optimizer_goal
 = CHOOSE and restarting the app most likely will not work.  Moving to
 CBO will involve a certain amount of trial and error, with you and the
 support team learning why CBO does what it does, what can be done
 differently in the schemas/sql statements, etc.  In short, it can be
 viewed as a sort of migration. 
 
   Another comment:  I believe the 9i doc states that RBO is
 desupported.  Gosh, I highly doubt it, I think Oracle Apps run RBO.
 But Oracle has been saying for a long time that RBO is going away.
 Be absolutely sure to read up on this on Metalink/Technet and present
 your findings to this damager.  If this is truly going to happen, this
 migration will need to happen sooner or later.  
 
   Sorry to be so long winded.  I hope this helps you.

RE: OT RE: 24 x 7 on NT?

2001-06-27 Thread Rajesh Dayal
everything fits into the whole. Because I know what everything is doing,
and how it behaves I can walk up to a windows machine and fix the
problem.
Windows is easy to use, easy to set up, and IS useful for the day to day
things of the average end user. When I walk into a data center at sun,
or
TI, or nokia, or ericson, or eds, or any fab plant I see rows and rows
of
sun / hp boxes doing a whole range of high availability services. When I
walk into broadwing or aperian or some other co-loc place that hosts a
bunch of .com's and see rows of way over priced/powered dell servers
hosting the 50 hits a day that averagestartup.com is getting then I
think
fine... what has the world lost if that machine goes down? Do you think
that this place really was bright enough to hire a knowledgeable person
to
make the decisions in the first place. I mean come on they're whole
company plan is based around insert crappy idea here. Its not a
coincidence that there are rows of 6500/5500's and e10k's doing the
important work and slews of relatively cheap windows machines doing the
grunt labor that isnt what fuels the business... and its not cause sun
has
a great marketing/sales department either (most of those guys dont know
their head from their ass). The world is full of generalizations so
here's
mine: Windows is good for what it does. The average person doesnt have
to
learn much/anything to use it. It sucks at what it doesnt do, and it
doesnt do high availability. As for the quote, its not mine, I just
found
it amusing. I dont constantly complain about windows because I dont use
it, but then again, I dont like to sit on my ass as others pass 3rd rate
information about a 3rd rate os on to others... all that breeds is some
more 3rd rate people ;) All I'm doing is protecting my sanity/nerves by
having a few less morons out there, but as I can see its already too
late
for some :)

Thanks,
jon


The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armor to

RE: Upgrade 8.0.4 to 8.1.6

2001-06-25 Thread Rajesh Dayal

These are the reasons I don't tend to rely on these GUI
tools

Last month-end I did some migration (of four databases)
8.0.4 to 8.1.7 manually and pretty successfully on NT.

Check Note 133920.1 on Metalink . You might need this...

All the best,

Hello

I am in the process of upgrading from 8.0.4 to 8.1.6.. it asked if I
wanted to migrate my 8.0.4 datafiles to 8.1.6.

I said yes to this and it started migrating, this was on friday.  Today
it still seems to be going , its a 8 gig database..;  If I click on
Finish
it says that the upgrade hasn't finished..

If I click on the cancel it says that if u cancel the database won't be
in
the original state.

The status bar has only moved a fraction.

Should it take this long ?  Should I cancel ?

TIA

Hello every one,

Hey you know what after a long battle, finally installed SCO 7.1.0 and
on top of that Oracle 8. Thanks to a lot of people, but Kirti Deshpande
( I think ) stands out, you helped me with some good things.

Actually the whole problem was with the swap, it was too small, so be
careful guys when you get Out of Memory problems you need to add in
swap. Doing a man swap will pull you out.

Okay now I can practse some more Oracle, I think I will start with
building some databases.

May the fun begin.

Thanks again

raja
