RE: Coalescing tablespace
Thanks Tim. Yes, for some it is a blast from the past! Unfortunately for me, for one of our systems still using this database, I am sort of stuck in the past. On the subject of coalescing, is the SYSTEM tablespace safe to be coalesced as well? I was thinking of putting this SQL statement you've suggested in a loop for all tablespaces. Thanks again and to others for the prompt reply. Rgds, Ross -Original Message- From: Tim Gorman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 27 October 2003 2:44 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Re: Coalescing tablespace Ross, Wow! That's a blast from the past! ALTER TABLESPACE ... COALESCE didn't arrive on the scene until v7.3, so prior to that version you had to do something like the following: alter session set events 'immediate trace name coalesce level NNN'; where the value of the level NNN could be set one of two ways. First and simplest way to set NNN is to use the value of the column TS# in the table SYS.TS$ where NAME is the name of the tablespace. So, a query like: select ts# from sys.ts$ where name = 'TOOLS' would yield the NNN for the level in the ALTER SESSION statement, or: alter session set events 'immediate trace name coalesce level 23'; if the TS# of the TOOLS tablespace was 23. However, setting the level this way would cause the ALTER SESSION command to only coalesce a certain, predefined number of extents and then stop. At this time, 6-7 years after the last time I used it, I forget what the default was, but it was probably a very low number (maybe 1?)... So, if you wanted to specify to the ALTER SESSION command how many extents to coalesce before quitting, you had to specify the TS# number in the lower-order 16 bits of the NNN and the number of extents to coalesce in the higher-order 16 bits. This implied an upper limit of 65535 extents to be coalesced at a time. So, generating a full ALTER SESSION statement, complete with a fully-qualified LEVEL parameter, could be performed as follows: select 'alter session set events ' || '''immediate trace name coalesce level ' || to_char((65536*least(count(*),65535))+t.ts#)|| from sys.fet$ a, sys.fet$ b, sys.ts$t wheret.name = 'tablespace-name' and a.ts# = t.ts# and a.ts# = b.ts# and a.file# = b.file# and (a.block# + a.length) = b.block# group by t.ts#; The purpose of the LEAST(COUNT(*),65535) phrase is to prevent an overflow, due to max of 16 bits in which to specify the count... Hope this helps... Thanks! -Tim on 10/26/03 6:04 PM, Ross Collado at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, For those like me still working on an Oracle 716 (hold the laughs), how do we coalesce a tablespace?

My Proc may not be using bind vars.
Hello,
I thought of giving this a go first before bouncing it to the gurus in the
list.
Basically, I wanted this procedure to be called from another 3rd party
application with the parameter of a 'customer_key'. I was under the
impression that I could force the select statement to use a 'bind' variable
from within the procedure. I then called this procedure to try it out (in
SQLPlus using exec by_key('customer_key') ) 30 times in succession using
different customer_key each time. I was expecting v$sqlarea to report stats
like parse=1 and executions=30. However, what I got were 30 of the begin
by_key('zzz'); end; with 1 parse and 1 execution each. (zzz had different
values every time). I'm still in the prototyping stage but the basic gist
of what I want is what I already have in the procedure.
Was what I got from v$sqlarea the expected behavior/stat result?
What can I change so that the sql statement will only parse once and execute
many times in other words make it more efficient?
thanks in advance.

Hi, What version of Oracle and OS platform you're using? The document you read refers to an 8i db so I assume you are in 8i.

never noticed that bug before, cause it will only appear if

Ok, try this instead:

I replaced the first awk w/ cut. the -c option says to cut
that output
from position 49 to the end of the line. You may have to adjust the

That ought to work for you.

The very next portion of the command is an awk using a field

places. I
never noticed that bug before, cause it will only appear if
the database
has been up less than 1 day. Guess it's time to do a bit of script
auditing.
Ok, try this instead:
ps -ef|grep pmon|grep -v grep|cut -c49- |awk -F_ '{ 'print $3 }'
I replaced the first awk w/ cut. the -c option says to cut
that output
from position 49 to the end of the line. You may have to adjust the
value from 49 to something else.
That ought to work for you.

However, a slight problem in the ps -ef output. If I do
what you have
suggested on my 'ps -ef' output below, I would only get
RMAN as it is the
only one in field #8. All the rest are in field #9. All I

figure out how to cut the last field then pipe it to your

ps -ef|grep pmon|grep -v grep|awk '{ print $8 }'|awk -F_ '{

ps -ef -- get the programs that are running

Hi All,
I want to feed my shell script with the names of currently running
databases. I thought of using ps -ef|grep [p]mon. What I got was the
following:
oracle 20113 1 0 Oct 25 ?0:01 ora_pmon_TLDEV
oracle 898 1 0 Jul 22 ?0:06 ora_pmon_TLQA
oracle 944 1 0 Jul 22 ?0:07 ora_pmon_TLQAVAR

oracle 20450 1 0 Oct 25 ?0:00 ora_pmon_PRDINF
oracle 13026 1 0 Oct 26 ?0:00 ora_pmon_TLDVVAR
What I wanted is get only the db name part eg. TLDEV, RMAN, DBMON,etc. I
don't want to rely on oratab file.
I was thinking of using 'cut' to cut out the last field and do some ${X##}
(variable pattern substitution) to get to the dbname bit. The trouble is
the number of fields in a ps -ef output is not consistent. As you can see
I've just restarted RMAN and now it only has 8 fields as compared to 9 for
the others.
Any suggestions? Or another way of doing it?
Using KSH on Solaris 8.
Thanks.

Browsing through my Sed and Awk book following up on Mark's lead, I came up
with this:
ps -ef|grep pmon|grep -v grep|awk '{ print $NF }'|awk -F_ '{ print $3 }'
TLDEV
TLQA
TLQAVAR
DBMON
RMAN
PRDINF

Yes this works too. I think the trick is in deriving the last field in this

Hi Ross,
Try something like this:

Dennis,
Someone did mention that to me but found it hard to believe Oracle does not
have an option to save the backupsets in the box where you initiated RMAN.
Maybe Oracle thought by allowing it, it will saturate the network. Still, I
would have preferred the option to be there.

Maintaining Simulated Standby DB on 7.1.6.0
Hi, I've got an old (test db) Oracle 7.1.6.0 db on HP-Ux. I've created a simulated standby db on another server of same spec. I say simulated because there is no real standby mechanism in this old version. Anyway, the standby database is mounted and on regular intervals (via cron), is doing recover database using backup controlfile until cancel. So far this arrangement is working perfectly. Now this is where it starts to become hairy. The tablespace USERS has 2 datafiles. USERS needs to be resized and the datafiles relocated. What I've done so far are the ff: 1. exported everything in USERS 2. dropped USERS t/space on primary then recreate with new datafile size and location. 3. recreated all tables in it. 4. imported all data back. While this is happening, the primary is happily generating all these archive logs which in turn are also being applied to the standby. The standby's alert.log indicates it has applied all logs and reports no errors. I then tried to open the standby db using alter databse open resetlogs. I didn't expect this to work and sure enough I got the error: SQLDBA alter database open resetlogs; ORA-01177: data file does not match dictionary - probably old incarnation ORA-01110: data file 5: '/u9/db/DEV/users01.dbf' users01.dbf is the old filename. My questions are: 1. Why is there no error reported? I was expecting it to complain about an unknown datafile. 2. If the standby is applying the logs where is it applying the transactions to? 3. Since there is no '... offline drop' in this version, is there any other way to get around this apart from completely recreating the standby? Any input much appreciated.

RE: Problem with standby database listener
I have 8.1.7.0 on Solaris 8 and also had this problem. Somehow the way I get around this is to go back to the Primary db and reset the log_archive_dest_2 to whatever the identifier of the standby db is. (even if the log_archive_dest_2 is already set). Then I do the standby recovery, then managed recovery. This probably explains why yours work after you bounce your Primary db. You must have the standby db location set in the init.ora file. What I do, however, is force a reset of the standby db location after I startup the standby db. This way I don't have to bounce my Primary db. Everything's scripted. Clear as mud? HTH.

Creating a missing datafile

Creating OFFLINE file 'MISSING0041' in the controlfile. Dictionary check complete I did a dump of the controlfile to trace and checked. It had MISSING0041 in it. However, I did a find on this file and couldn't find it. Does this mean MISSING0041 was just updated in the controlfile and was not actually created as a physical file? I know the complete path/filename of what this MISSING0041 datafile should be (it should be /u2/db/archive2_2.dbf). This is actually the 3rd datafile of ARCHIVE tablespace. If this file existed then it would have been an easy rename of datafile via ALTER TABLESPACE ... RENAME DATAFILE But there is no physical file to rename. I don't think I can do a create a file via ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE... in this case because the controlfile won't have the correct path/filename of this datafile (it's got 'MISSING0041' SIZE 500M). How do I go about recreating a physical file having the correct filename and size?

RE: Creating a missing datafile
Thanks Deepak, Slight problem though. The database has been opened with RESETLOGS so previous archive logs are useless. v$recover_file reports this file# is offline/missing file. I think my only other option is to drop then rebuild/recreate the tablespace and import the objects in it from an export dump.

However, I did a find on this file and couldn't find it. Does this mean MISSING0041 was just updated in the controlfile and was not actually created as a physical file? I know the complete path/filename of what this MISSING0041 datafile should be (it should be /u2/db/archive2_2.dbf). This is actually the 3rd datafile of ARCHIVE tablespace. If this file existed then it would have been an easy rename of datafile via ALTER TABLESPACE ... RENAME DATAFILE But there is no physical file to rename. I don't think I can do a create a file via ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE... in this case because the controlfile won't have the correct path/filename of this datafile (it's got 'MISSING0041' SIZE 500M). How do I go about recreating a physical file having the correct filename and size?

RE: simple sql problem
I don't believe SQLPlus will let you run a SQL statement in the command line
itself. As you can see in Usage:, it doesn't have an option for this.
However, if you insist on running SQL statements in the command line itself,
you can probably do something like (only in Unix):
sqlplus -s scott/tiger !
select * from emp;
!
or
save your select * from emp; to a sql file and do :
sqlplus -s scott/tiger @myfile.sql

Subject: simple sql problem
Hello all,
Why cannot I do :-
sqlplus -s scott/tiger select * from emp;
or sqlplus -s scott/tiger select * from emp;
Both the cases I get :-
Usage: SQLPLUS [option] [user[/password] [@host]]
[@startfile [parm1] [parm2] ...]
where option ::= { -s | -? }
-s for silent mode and -? to obtain version number
What is wrong above? I need to run the query from command
line. How do I modify this :-
sqlplus -s scott/tiger select * from emp;
Rgds,

Deferred appliction of arch logs in Standby DB
Is there a way to defer the application of archive logs in the Standby db? Or maybe defer the actual sending of the logs from the Primary db. Kind of like the INTERVAL option in SCHEDULE_PUSH of Adv.
