Arithmetics

2003-12-03 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi list

In PL/SQL, 174413 - 169281.6 (as FLOAT) results in 5131.4 as it should.
In Perl, it results in 5131.399. In C++ (GCC on both Linux and MS
Windows) it results in 5131.4.
I find it pretty irritating that perl doesn't handle that correctly.
I know, it's always a problem with floating point arithmetics, but how is
it, that perl already says good bye to accurate results while PL/SQL and C
both still give the correct result ?
Is there any work around or something I have to consider when doing floating
point arithmetics in Perl ?
I need to have accurate values without rounding them for statistic
calculations.

TIA,
Stefan

Hi Mladen

Nice metaphor. Did you intentionally use zum Donnerwetter as a little word
play on MS's "Hailstorm" - project (R.I.P.) ?. That get's pretty close to
obscene language, too. I guess I was actually gullible enough to believe
that .NET might be comparable to the Java world. Maybe not ;). Or maybe I

Stefan, lets talk about obscene language. As you know, obscene
language is not always the same. The phrase "zum Donnerwetter" can
and will be understood as swearing, despite the fact that it's utterly
incomprehensible to me why would someone use bad weather as a swearing
phrase. 
Two obscene words in Redmond, WA are "compatible" and "standards", which
are used much in the same way as the phrase "zum Donnerwetter" is 
used in German language. You should know that .NET is incompatibility
elevated to the level of art. Did you really expect MS product to be
compatible withe anything else except with another MS product? MS products
are not compatible, they are .NET compatible or contemptible, for short.
Your question should be rephrased as: how can anybody realistically expect 
.NET provider to be compatible with a non-MS database like Oracle?

AW: Experiences with Oracle and MS .Net data providers

2003-11-25 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi 

Some coworkers implemented an application using C# and the MS .NET provider
for Oracle (9.0.1 DB).
One thing I can remember: Mapping C#'s float datatype to Oracle FLOAT (or
NUMBER(...)) somehow didn't work that great.
Another thing was that they could not use transaction processing via the
underlying COM+ components correctly. Something with the threading went
wrong. It did work though for SQL*Server, so they assumed the MS provider
for Oracle screwed up.
Switching to the Oracle provider wasn't an option anymore either, since the
interfaces weren't 100% compatible.

I don't know about that since I don't know .NET, but I was surprised that
that could be the case. I thought it would work like in Java, where the JDBC
driver supplier "just" implements a certain set of interfaces. If you don't
downcast an ResultSet into for example an OracleResultSet and stick to the
methods the standard inteface provides, ... no probs. How is it, that data
providers  can be in incompatible in .NET ?

Betreff: Experiences with Oracle and MS .Net data providers


Hi all,

Would really like to hear any feedback regarding anyone comparing these two
.Net data providers (or even some of the others out there - Datadirect,
etc.).

We're at decision making time, and things like the differences in calling
stored procs, returning Ref Cursors, are starting to mean we need to pick
one.  My gut says go with the Oracle one (keep the technology stack based on
the one vendor), but they kludge too many things.  (just like in ADO, where
they ignored the standard for stored proc calling).

Anyway, any comments about your use, likes and dislikes of either would be
much appreciated.

Ciao

AW: Geometric mean

2003-11-14 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi

I'm not aware of any "out-of-the-box" Oracle solution either (like STDDEV or
AVG). 
Looks like one has to roll ones own statistical functions when it comes to
calculating things like modus or median.
Is anybody aware of an extension, maybe in form of an old cartridge or a
pl/sql library to handle that stuff ?
The problem is, that for instance STDDEV is a "normal" SQL function, if you
roll your own to calculate other things, you end up having to call a pl/sql
function from sql, which isn't really a performance boost.

In that case you could create a procedure owned by the data owner that does

AW: End of communication channel

2003-11-14 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi Dennis

According to Metalink, an ora-03113 on an already established connection
points to a terminated Oracle executable. This is not the case, Oracle is
still up and running.
Unfortunately, it's windows, so I still have to figure out how to see wether
the user process has been terminated (should be a thread running within the
same process on win ?!).

Stefan - I'm assuming this is the notorious ORA-3113 error? (the text is end

obvious stuff that should be checked out before digging deeper.

Hi list

I'm looking for further hints on where to look for problems which may lead
to an "end of communication channel" error.
Any input (especially networking or operating system problems) appreciated. 
The server runs 9.0.1.0.1 on Win2k. Not my box, a coworker has trouble with
the network/sys admins stating that it can't be a network/system problem. I
highly doubt that, since the Oracle service and the listener are both
constantly available. No memory problems either. It's just that in the
middle of the session, the connection goes down the drain.

Any ideas ?

TIA,
Stefan

Hi

According to that ... I guess their routers are fired by coal, like those
old steam engines ;). No, seriously, I don't know much about their
equipment. It's supposedly "modern equipment mixed with poor skills" ;).
I was suggesting to look for dropped packages or problems with MTU size,
since it's Win2k to Unix communication.

AW: How do you generate primary keys?

2003-11-13 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi 

Looks like it's time to read some fine manuals again ;).
So in a scenario like this:

a) INSERT ... RETURN without the PK is done from Java
b) BEFORE INSERT TRIGGER adds the PK, then does the actual insert.
c) PK is returned to Java context ?

.. c) works ? I'm not sure about that. Figured I just ask, before 
I actually go ahead and try it out.

Hi Jonathan,

I was unable to find the answers from your book "SQL*Loader: The Definitive
Guide" and the web. I am running out of sources. I hope you can help me with
the following questions.

We are using Oracle 9i sqlldr, direct path to load data from external files
into staging tables. After data is loaded, we invoked stored procedures to
transform data and move them to the target tables. The steps are: 1. delete
all entries from 20 staging tables 2. invoke "sqlldr userid=dbimpl/dbimpl
control= direct=true" to load data to all 20 staging  tables 3.
invoke stored procedures to transform data from the staging tables to the
final tables. Currently these stored procedures are standalone. 4. invoke
stored procedures to remove out-of-date entries from the final tables.

I monitor invalidations column in v$sqlarea. Every time
after sqlldr is invoked for data loading (step 2), all the
sql statements that reference the staging tables are invalidated, including
"delete from " sql statement. I setup a test and used a java
program to loop steps 1-4 every ~2 minutes. There were no other activities
in the database except data loading and transformation. After a couple days,
I got the following error: ORA-04031: unable to allocate 4212 bytes of
shared memory ("shared pool","unknown object","sga heap(1,0)","stat array
mem")

The questions are:
1. Do we need to delete entries in the staging table prior to loading. Will
sqlldr remove the entires in the staging table first prior to loading? 2.
There are no changes in the stored procedures, how / why sqlldr would
invalidate the sql statement in the stored procedures? 3. The error
ORA-04031 in this case, is it due to shared memory fragmentation? I suspect
that the culprint is invalidations. How do invalidations cause shared memory
fragmentation?

I would appreciate if you can send me some pointers or suggestions.

Thanks,
KamYee

Ok. That's of course true, but I guess it depends on the scenario. With the
truncate option, there is no chance to roll back the activity. If you use
direct path load, I guess it makes more sense to opt for truncate.

There are two options to replace all data in the table: REPLACE and TRUNCATE
which are equivalent to truncate and delete sql statements. If you have
staging tables without RI or triggers then use truncate. Using delete just
takes a lot longer and use a lot more resources.

We use TRUNCATE almost exclusively.

Hi

We do something similiar, but instead of deleting the tables beforehand, I
just use the SQL*LOADER REPLACE option. No such problems as described in the
original eMail occured so far. The platform is Oracle 9.2.0.3 on Win3k.

I don't usually forward my reader email to the list, but the

case, SQL*Loader appears to be causing all SQL statements

this normal behavior? Does anyone know why it might be the

Hi Jonathan,

I was unable to find the answers from your book "SQL*Loader: The Definitive
Guide" and the web. I am running out of sources. I hope you can help me with
the following questions.

We are using Oracle 9i sqlldr, direct path to load data from external files
into
staging tables. After data is loaded, we invoked stored procedures to
transform data and move them to the target tables. The steps are:
1. delete all entries from 20 staging tables
2. invoke "sqlldr userid=dbimpl/dbimpl control= direct=true" to
load data to all 20 staging  tables
3. invoke stored procedures to transform data from the staging tables to the
final tables. Currently these stored procedures are standalone.
4. invoke stored procedures to remove out-of-date entries from the final
tables.

I monitor invalidations column in v$sqlarea. Every time
after sqlldr is invoked for data loading (step 2), all the
sql statements that reference the staging tables are
invalidated, including "delete from " sql
statement. I setup a test and used a java program to loop
steps 1-4 every ~2 minutes. There were no other activities
in the database except data loading and transformation.
After a couple days, I got the following error: ORA-04031:
unable to allocate 4212 bytes of shared memory ("shared
pool","unknown object","sga heap(1,0)","stat array mem")

The questions are:
1. Do we need to delete entries in the staging table prior to loading. Will
sqlldr remove the entires in the staging table first prior to loading?
2. There are no changes in the stored procedures, how / why sqlldr would
invalidate the sql statement in the stored procedures?
3. The error ORA-04031 in this case, is it due to shared memory
fragmentation? I suspect that the culprint is invalidations. How do
invalidations cause shared memory fragmentation?

I would appreciate if you can send me some pointers or suggestions.

Thanks,
KamYee

Problems with 9.2.0.4

2003-10-07 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi list

I'm encountering a problem where I think it might be related to patch set
9.2.0.4 (since it worked on 9.2.0.3):

I load data with SQL*LOADER using the following control file:


**

LOAD DATA
INFILE 'c:\oracle\admin\\daten\neuessen\\import\mydata.txt'
BADFILE 'c:\oracle\admin\\daten\neuessen\ctl\mydata.bad'

  fileid   EXPRESSION "831",
  trialINTEGER EXTERNAL,
  response INTEGER EXTERNAL,
  type INTEGER EXTERNAL,
  correct  INTEGER EXTERNAL,
  latency  DECIMAL EXTERNAL 
)


**

The data looks like this (excerpt):


**

2;0;111;-1;0.000
3;0;111;-1;0.000

8;0;111;-1;0.000
9;4;113;0;0.476
10;0;111;-1;0.000


**

The SQL*LOADER is called like this:


**

control=c:\oracle\admin\\daten\neuessen\ctl\mydata.ctl
log=c:\oracle\admin\\daten\neuessen\ctl\mydata.log

**

The funny thing is: If I run the loader directly as user "SCHIZO" or as
"SYS" (O7_DICTIONARY_ACCESSIBILITY=TRUE), it works just fine.
BTW: The problem is caused by the Expression, if I get rid of this, not
loading any value into "FILEID", it works just fine.

Stefan

AW: 9.2.0.4 patch on linux

2003-10-07 Thread Stefan Jahnke



Hi 
Jared
 
Did 
you extend your pool sizes ?
 
Users who have JVM (Java enabled) or JVM and 
XDB installed on their Oracle9i release 2 databases should ensure the 
init.ora parameters SHARED_POOL_SIZE and 
JAVA_POOL_SIZE are each 150 MB or more before running the 
catpatch.sql upgrade script. 
 
Did 
you drop XMLCONCAT before patching ?
 

Drop the xmlconcat function by running the following commands: 

C:\> sqlplus / NOLOG
SQL> connect / AS SYSDBA
SQL> drop public synonym XMLCONCAT;
SQL> drop function XMLCONCAT;

  ORACLE-LBetreff: 9.2.0.4 patch on 
  linuxList, 
  I ran into some difficulties today while 
  applying the 9.2.0.4 patch to a 9.2.0.1 db on RH 8.0, and was curious if anyone else had seen 
  similar problems. After installing the 9.2.0.4 sw ( after installing the 
  2.2.0.18 OUI of course ) , I started 
  the database via 'startup migrate' and then ran catpatch.sql. 
  An ORA-3113 would consistently occur when 
  the following statement was reached in 
  the catmetx.sql script: create or 
  replace force view sys.ku$_xmlschema_view of sys.ku$_xmlschema_t 
    with object identifier (owner_name, 
  url) as   select '1','0', 
          u.user#, u.name, 
  extractvalue(VALUE(s), '/schema/@schemaURL'),         s.sys_nc_oid$,            case when 
  under_path(value(r), '/sys/schemas/PUBLIC') = 1                 
  then 0 else 1 end,   
   s.getclobval(),                 
     -- unstripped   
   xdb.dbms_xdbutil_int.XMLSchemaStripUsername(XMLTYPE(s.getClobVal()),

  sys_op_rawtonum(extractvalue(VALUE(r),'/Resource/OwnerID'))         AND 
  (SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','CURRENT_USERID') IN (u.user#, 0) OR                 
  EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM session_roles                     
      WHERE role='SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE' )) Running this statement from the command line netted the 
  same results. Querying the 
  dba_registry view didn't reveal anything unusual:  XML stuff was 
  in the 'LOADED' or 'LOADING' 
  state. Poking around MetaLink a 
  bit revealed the others had at times had different trouble with XDB, and had resolved them by recreating the XDB 
  schema. After running catnoqm.sql 
  ( drops the XDB user ), catpatch.sql was again ran, and everything finished to completion.  ( catpatch 
  calls catproc, which eventually calls catqm.sql, which recreates XDB if needed ) Have any of you experienced similar problems with XDB 
  while patching or upgrading? Jared 



 


AW: AW: Experiences setting OPEN_CURSORS for Java applications

2003-10-02 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi Craig

The whole point of an interceptor is basically to add functionality to a
certain type or protocol without changing the interface the client works
with. In Java, this is usually  accomplished by implementing an extra
interface to add things like security or billing based on transactions etc.
(I've seen this in CORBA first, hence the reference to it).
The developer continues working with the same types she/he used to work
with. It often comes along with the factory pattern, where a certain object
is created and returned to the calling object. The calling object uses the
interface of the type it wanted, not being aware of any additional things.

I hope that was confusing enough ;)

Right now, we just implemented some "common" PL/SQL packages to deal with
logging and error handling etc., but I have to say, the idea to add an extra
layer to the JDBC architecture is a great idea. Helps DBAs spotting problems
real easy, as you said.

Stefan

Hi,

I'm not sure about the Interceptor pattern.

Log4j is a great package and I make use of it within JDBC Expert.  I 
started using the new logging API in JDK 1.4 but found most developers were 
using Log4j so I changed.  Log4j seems like a much more mature package
anyway.

I too think it would be a great tool to be used in the development 
cycle.  Ideally I would like every developer to have it installed while 
they complete their development in the hope that a number of defects can be 
eliminated early.

In reality though, I find that senior developers and data administrators 
see the most benefits.  Particularly database administrators, probably 
because they are the ones that are called upon to resolve the errors (such 
as ORA-1000) when they occur.

Let me know if you would like a copy, and I'll email it privately to you - 
its too big to send to the list.

Craig Munday.

AW: UNIX : script help/input

2003-10-02 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi

Speaking of Perl, ... maybe somebody (Jared) can help out with some Perl /
Windows problems:
I'm using ActiveState 5.6 with DBI module, which works fine. Now, since I
basically work within a CygWin environment on my laptop, I installed perl
there, but there are no DBI modules. The basic problem is, that in order to
get the DBI stuff compiled within cygwin, you would need a unix/cygwin
wrapper for the OCI dlls, which are common windows dlls coming with the
Oracle client (9.2.0.4) in order to import OCI stuff correctly, which is
needed by DBI (at least I think so). The dlltool doesn't really help me
here, since the dlls supplied by Oracle seem to be stripped (at least,
dlltool can't find any symbols). If I try:

$ nm oci.dll | grep ' T _' | sed 's/.* T _//' >> oci.def

I only get:

nm: oci.dll: no symbols

Does anybody have an idea how to use the windows oci (or any other Oracle
dll) from cygwin ?
Otherwise I can also go ahead and toss out cygwin, since accessing Oracle is
basically all I need it for.

Stefan

Oh most definitely.

As I just finished writing a prototype package for assigning MAC
addresses ( we make network stuff - that's a technical term ), I
have endured the agonies of doing hex math in PL/SQL.

I finally bit the bullet and used string manipulation to convert
hex to decimal and do what I needed that way.  Couldn't get BITAND
to work properly on very large integers. Besides, doing XOR with
BITAND in PL/SQL is very painful.

UTL_RAW has an XOR, but it requires RAW values and I didn't feel
like messing with it.

This is all very simple in Perl.

Given a MAC of 5AA, with a fixed portion of 500,
it is very easy to determine the variable portion of the address
via $x = 0x5AA ^ 500.

Not quite so simple in PL/SQL.

AW: Experiences setting OPEN_CURSORS for Java applications

2003-10-01 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi

Just wondering: How did you implement the "transparancy" aspect ?
Interceptor pattern (as in CORBA) ?
Your tool seems to be a very good thing to use during dev-cycle to log
certain aspects you're interested in (maybe log4j might do the job ?).

Tanel,

I've implemented it as a JDBC driver that is installed as a layer between 
your application and the vendor driver that you are using (eg. Oracle, 
Postgress, SQL Server, etc.)

[Java application] - Layer 1
[JDBC Expert] - Layer 2
[Oracle Thin Driver] - Layer 3
 |
network
 |
[Oracle Server] - Layer 4


It does not parse Java source code and is not a code analyzer, however the 
tool will intercept all calls that an application makes on the JDBC API, 
analyze them and forward them onto the vendor driver.  In this way the tool 
is transparent to the application and can be installed or removed without 
modification to the application code.

I would not call it a traffic analyzer because to me that term implies that 
it sits on a network and analyzes network traffic much like an Intrusion 
Detection System might do.

Regards,
Craig Munday.

AW: COBOL TO ORACLE

2003-10-01 Thread Stefan Jahnke



Hi
 
I'm 
basically doing the same: We're using PL1 programs to do an "unload" of VSAM 
files by hand. That actually takes care of multiple record structures and the 
like. It's a poor-man's normalisation of VSAMs ;). Then, just load the data as 
it is into a staging DB (Oracle), transform it and push it into the production 
DB (also Oracle).
 
What I 
don't understand about the original eMail is the COBOL to Oracle part, but 
relating to the data ?! I guess moving the HOST based data was meant 
?
 
And 
regarding to connecting to VSAM or the like directly from Designer (via reading 
the copy books for instance), ... it either doesn't exist or we didn't find it 
;). I opt for the first. 
 
PS: 
Having to use Oracle Designer is about as cool as 
crucification.

So, it looks like I have to go back and browse the archive for your posting.

Has anyone else noticed?

Not so long ago, we saw quite a few more questions about
such things as data modeling, application security architecture,
physical database design, and Oracle Designer

Not so much anymore.  

Do you think it's because there are so few development projects
taking place?  Seems like in house development died with the
dot bomb and has not begun to recover.

I know at my place of employment there is very little development,
but that is due more to the size and nature of this place, as 
well as the management. ( they don't like in house development :( )

Now I spend my days with stuff like making NetBackup work with Oracle,
migrating SAP all over the place and keeping things running.

Not that we haven't always done those things, but I miss some
not having a good development project.  Ah, to do some real 
data modeling again.

Just some food for thought.

Jared

AW: OpenLDAP instead of OID

Hi Dennis

We will do some testing for development DBs using openldap on cygwin (very
obscure setup, I know). Afterwards, I might have to move the stuff to AD
(since the dev site is more of a windows shop). I will have to read some
stuff (I'm more of a UNIX person), so it might take a while before I'm
actually going to find the time to do this (like September).

Hi list

Some people where interested in feedback regarding the usage of OpenLDAP
instead of OID or Names to resolve TNS strings.
Seems to work ;). Here is what to do:

Prerequisite: I used openldap-2.0.23 instead of 2.1, since I had to use
CygWin to test it locally on my laptop.

Bill of materials:

CygWin http://www.cygwin.com, I used the latest version, 1.5.2-1test

Oracle Client, version >= 8.1.6.x 

OID LDIFS, can be taken from $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/admin, if the OID option is
installed, or from 
Oracle Disks:
Disk3\stage\Components\oracle.oid.server\9.2.0.1.0\1\DataFiles\admin.1.1.jar

HowTo: http://home.nc.rr.com/jtlayton/oid2openldap.html

Simply follow the howto to get openldap running and include the OID schemas.

Then, create an ldap.ora under $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin, which looks like
this:

DIRECTORY_SERVERS=localhost:389
DIRECTORY_SERVER_TYPE=oid
DEFAULT_ADMIN_CONTEXT="cn=Manager,dc=world"

... and change sqlnet.ora to contain:

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP)

Finished, enjoy.

AW: BEA's WebLogic vs. Jdeveloper and iAS

2003-08-18 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi 

I can't give you a clear answer on this one, but: Is it possible that BEA
uses J2EE Connector Architecture to access People Soft ? I've seen this for
SAP, it's kind of a standardized J2EE API which allows programmatic access
to ERP (and the like) resources.
If that's the case, then you should be able to use whatever app server (BEA
or iAS) you want, unless BEA has some integrated support to generate code
stubs to access People Soft.

See also: http://java.sun.com/j2ee/connector/

Have fun,
Stefan

Betreff: BEA's WebLogic vs. Jdeveloper and iAS


We are highly interested in having all our Peoplesoft access which does not
use screens created via Peoplesoft tools to pass through an applications
server.  One group invited the folks from BEA out, and my thought was, "Hey,
we are already licensed for enterprise iAS, Jdeveloper and the like. Why pay
for yet another development system.?"  However BEA's tool produces modules
which invoke the Peoplesoft API to put data into Peoplesoft.  This is a
major issue with us.  Does any know if Oracle has anything that does the
same?

I'm a hundred percent sure that your German is about a bazillion times

And I'm still trying to figure that beast called "English" ... and they

Err, seriously, I'm from the German part that's closer to the Netherlands
(great country, people are less stiff ;)), 
so if I go to Austria, I need a pocket translator. And now, working in
Switzerland doesn't make things better. Nice 
mountains, I only wish I understood what the people say ;).

To get back to the topic: I'm converting data in Switzerland from Mainframe

surprise).

Austrian? Local characters? I was fully convinced that Austrians speak
German.
As an inhabitant of ex-YU, I did a lot of shopping in Graz and even Munich.
There wasn't much difference, even "joo" was the same.

Mein Deutsch war ziemlich fliessend fruher, aber jetzt, Ich weiss nicht.

God, do I hate writing in German without umlauts and "scharfes S"!

Hi
 
That's

Oracle running on a Mainframe and your customer is Austrian, there is 
D8EBCDIC1141, which supports special local characters.

We don't use it, yet. I considered using AD, because we already have an AD.
But, I would prefer OpenLDAP for the UNIX world. OID is not an option since 
it is pretty much overkill for our needs.

Let's try and see ;).

AW: Oracle and OpenLDAP server

2003-07-28 Thread Stefan Jahnke
We don't use it, yet. I considered using AD, because we already have an AD.
But, I would prefer OpenLDAP for the UNIX world. OID is not an option since 
it is pretty much overkill for our needs.

Let's try and see ;).

Stefan - Instead of AD?? I'm still trying to figure out how to get it to
work with AD. My impression at this point is that only a few people have
played with OID. I really hope you receive a reply because it will probably
give me some hints about how to use it with AD.

AW: Oracle and OpenLDAP server

2003-07-28 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Thanks. So it looks like I either have to 

... create an OID, export everything and change the stuff to be standard
LDAP,
... or, maybe: Sniff the network traffic while having Oracle create the
Schema (LDAP, not DB) 
on a win2k Active Directory (if that is standard LDAP stuff, let's see ;).

Sounds fabulous. Why the h*&%ll doesn't Oracle just comply to the standard,
since they're 
always all hyper about open standards and complain about Microsoft ?!

Yes, but it isn't pretty.  Actually, we chose SunOne, but the concept is the
same.  I can't take any credit for it though as the local LDAP expert
employee-turned-consultant figured out how to create the Oracle schema (LDAP
schema, not DB schema).  I don't know the exact details, but I remember that
most of the problem was that the OiD tools don't create LDIFs to RFC
standards.  This means that while you can export the entire Oracle schema
from OiD using ldifwrite, you have to massage the resulting LDIF in order to
make it standards-compliant.  Once you have that LDIF, you can use it to
recreate the schema in OpenLDAP.

We only used (TRIED to use) OiD for Oracle network names resolution (i.e.
instead of ONAMES) and not user authentication.  And at least on 9.0.1 under
Linux, we couldn't get the damn thing stable.  So we dumped OiD in favor of
SunOne for non-Oracle user authentication, and are still using ONAMES for
name resolution.

in the range of 40-45). Only one DBA is 42 years old for the last 5 years.

Hi!

Age isn't the most important criteria for good DBA.
Ability to analyze issues and foresee possible consequences of your actions 
are the most important ones, at least from my point of view.

Personally, I just turned 25. Whether I'm experienced or not, I won't

AW: Re: Object Types in PL/SQL

2003-07-21 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi

Sorry for the late reply ... weekend ;).
If I understand you correctly, you do the following:

Use "normal" tables (a normalized data model ?), then 
create an additional Object Type for each table with 
methods to do DML on that table. From Java, only use 
stored procs/funcs to manipulate the data. The procs/funcs 
use the Object Types in return. Java only "knows" these 
Object Types, not the tables.

Advantage: JDBC doesn't have to query for that much metadata,
since Java Objects map quite well to Object Types.

Is that correct so far ?

>

When we started to use JDBC, one of the things I noticed
was some very unusual network traffic.  Certainly more than I
was expecting given the level of statements being executed.
A few traces showed a lot of traffic by JDBC driver itself
trying to find information about the parameters involved
in a ExecutableStatement.  I believe this is specific to JDBC 2
and its new MetaData functionality, but I don't know for sure.

A little bit of experimentation showed that if we created
an object type definition for each table involved in
our procedures and used the object type to pass the
parameters (each parameter is a column) to the stored procedures,
the network traffic dropped dramatically.

Now we use a package for each table with an object type
matching the table columns used as the single parameter
to each function/procedure.  Each package has as a minimum
a MNG_ and a DEL_ procedure, with the first
one handling both INSERT and UPDATE (depending if PK is
set to NULL or not).  We also write "getters" to access the data,
returning a REF CURSOR typed on the same object type.

This is not only blinding fast but the network traffic
is negligeable.


> your comments would be much appreciated.

Not really comments, just the experience so far.  It might
change in the next version.  So far it seems to work like
a charm, so we're sticking with it.  The next step is to get
a few of the hierarchical accesses done via O-R views returning
a single object with an array for the child object types.
First trials seem very promising, but I have to wait for the 9i
upgrade:  8i lets me do only one level of hierarchical object.

After that, it's XML all the way through!  If the customer
doesn't kick us all out b4...  ;)

AW: Object Types in PL/SQL

2003-07-16 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Thanks all. Looks like I'll have to go with the "add-an-extra-parameter"
method for now as a workaround.
I don't know yet wether we're going to raise a TAR right away. The manual is
a little bit unclear about overriding the default constructor. So I might
contact a friend at Oracle first. I'll post any results on that.
We actually don't use Object Types that much (who does anyway ;). But I have
to say, that I'm a little bit disappointed by Oracle's implementation (Ever
heard of information hiding and encapsulation, Larry ?). If every developer
using the type will be allowed to set the attributes (to whatever value),
what's the point ? How about "private" vs. "public" ?! Well, at least they
give you a way to initialize Object Types somehow.

This doesn't answer your question directly, but if you aren't able to
override the constructor explicitly, you can probably create a static
function that creates, initializes & returns a tVNR as you would like it.

Hi list

I have a problem regardint PL/SQL Object Types. According to the fine
manual, it should be 
possible to override the default constructor (I'm on 9.2.0.3.0 Win2k). I did
that, Object Type 
compiles without complaints:

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE tVNR AS OBJECT
(
 
  vVNR VARCHAR2(14),
  
  CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION tVNR(piVNR VARCHAR2) 
  RETURN SELF AS RESULT,
  
  MEMBER FUNCTION getVNR 
  RETURN VARCHAR2
  
) INSTANTIABLE FINAL;

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE BODY tVNR AS

  CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION tVNR(piVNR VARCHAR2)
  RETURN SELF AS RESULT IS
  BEGIN
IF (LENGTH(piVNR)=11) THEN
  SELF.vVNR := SUBSTR(piVNR,1,4) || '.' || SUBSTR(piVNR,5,4) || '.' ||
SUBSTR(piVNR,9,3);
ELSE
  SELF.vVNR := 'invalid';
END IF;
RETURN;
  END;

  MEMBER FUNCTION getVNR RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
  BEGIN
RETURN SELF.vVNR;
  END;
END;

Now, everytime I want to create an object like this:

declare
  vVNR tVNR;
begin
  vVNR := new tVNR('12345678901');
  dbms_output.put_line(vVNR.getVNR());
end;

I get the following error message:

ERROR at line 4:
ORA-06550: line 4, column 15:
PLS-00307: too many declarations of 'TVNR' match this call
ORA-06550: line 4, column 3:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored

Looks to me like the PL/SQL enginge isn't able to distinguish the default
constructor from the 
overridden (my) version, since they have the same signature (of course).

Any input ? I couldn't find ANY descenct hints in the fine manual or the
Feuerstein book :(.

TIA,
Stefan

The default constructor is always there, even if you don't provide one.
So, if you declare and implement a constructor that has the same signature 
as the default constructor (simply all the attributes as IN parameters, 
returning SELF), you automatically override the default constructor.
That is what I want to do. The object type compiles, but if I use it, 
PL/SQL tells me that it finds more than one constructors with that 
signature, which are the "hidden" default constructor and the one I 
implemented (I think). Now, that leaves me clueless, since it should be 
possible (manual says so) to override the default constructor from 9.2 on.

Any more ideas ?

AW: Object Types in PL/SQL

2003-07-15 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi

The anonnymous block at the bottom of my email is just a little test driver.
Basically, I don't use subtyping here. I just override the default
constructor.
If I don't implement a constructor at all, I would look like this:

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE tVNR AS OBJECT
(
 
  vVNR VARCHAR2(14),
  
  MEMBER FUNCTION getVNR 
  RETURN VARCHAR2
   
) INSTANTIABLE FINAL;

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE BODY tVNR AS

  MEMBER FUNCTION getVNR RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
  BEGIN
RETURN SELF.vVNR;
  END;
END;

And I would get a hidden, system provided default constructor.
That would allow me to do the following (tested it):

declare
  vVNR tVNR;
begin
  vVNR := new tVNR('12345678901');
  dbms_output.put_line(vVNR.getVNR());
end;

And I would get the output:

12345678901

Unfortunately, that doesn't give me any control regarding the initialization
of vVNR.
Explanation: VNR = "Versichertennummer", which is kind of the Swiss analog
to the 
US Social Security ID, only less unique ;).

We don't use Object Relational features IN the database. Just plain
relational tables.
What we would like to use are Object Types to encapsulate certain things
like the above 
shown VNR to ensure data integrity during data conversion for PL/SQL
programs using 
these types. It's more of a guideline where the developers are constrained
to use the 
types for certain stuff.

Enjoy your day,

if im reading your code right... looks like your overriding in an anonymous

any subclassing here? didnt they add sub-types and 'extends' to 9.2? 

btw, are you using object oriented design in your database? How efficient do

Object Types in PL/SQL

2003-07-15 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi list

I have a problem regardint PL/SQL Object Types. According to the fine
manual, it should be 
possible to override the default constructor (I'm on 9.2.0.3.0 Win2k). I did
that, Object Type 
compiles without complaints:

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE tVNR AS OBJECT
(
 
  vVNR VARCHAR2(14),
  
  CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION tVNR(piVNR VARCHAR2) 
  RETURN SELF AS RESULT,
  
  MEMBER FUNCTION getVNR 
  RETURN VARCHAR2
  
) INSTANTIABLE FINAL;

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE BODY tVNR AS

  CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION tVNR(piVNR VARCHAR2)
  RETURN SELF AS RESULT IS
  BEGIN
IF (LENGTH(piVNR)=11) THEN
  SELF.vVNR := SUBSTR(piVNR,1,4) || '.' || SUBSTR(piVNR,5,4) || '.' ||
SUBSTR(piVNR,9,3);
ELSE
  SELF.vVNR := 'invalid';
END IF;
RETURN;
  END;

  MEMBER FUNCTION getVNR RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
  BEGIN
RETURN SELF.vVNR;
  END;
END;

Now, everytime I want to create an object like this:

declare
  vVNR tVNR;
begin
  vVNR := new tVNR('12345678901');
  dbms_output.put_line(vVNR.getVNR());
end;

I get the following error message:

ERROR at line 4:
ORA-06550: line 4, column 15:
PLS-00307: too many declarations of 'TVNR' match this call
ORA-06550: line 4, column 3:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored

Looks to me like the PL/SQL enginge isn't able to distinguish the default
constructor from the 
overridden (my) version, since they have the same signature (of course).

Any input ? I couldn't find ANY descenct hints in the fine manual or the
Feuerstein book :(.

TIA,
Stefan

AW: JDBC and MTS

2003-06-17 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi Regis

That's basically right. As I just posted, we use MTS for development, so
that not every developer starts up a local connection pool on their
workstation and we also don't end up with too many dedicated server
processes.
But I think you're right saying that MTS and application side connection
pooling is pretty much redundant, if not even the 
source for trouble.
a) the app server should start and monitor the connection pool.
b) the client sessions (or app threads within the app server or whatever)
request connections from that pool.
c) important aspect here is the fact that the app server "thinks" that it
maintains a pool of readily available, permanent connections. The clients
(or whoever) will just be passed a reference to a certain connection. After
they are finished with what they want to do, they put the connection back
into the pool (plus some connection re-aquiring mechanism for dead clients
and the like).
d) That means, that with MTS, a new player shows up, as in the connections
held in the connection pool are not permanent (or dedicated in oracle
terms). That might lead to some latency while fetching a valid connection
from the pool and using it, because when you actually start using it, you
end up with some overhead since the dispatcher has to "give" you a
connection.
e) I don't know for sure, but has anybody ever testet some of the new
features like sharing prepared statements between connections (and the
possibility to tag a name to a statement for further information / statement
fetching) with MTS ?

So, I think it's either MTS OR Java Connection Pooling, not BOTH.

Open for bashing,
Stefan

We add:
1. Application (Java)
Using a JDBC Connection Pooling (CP)feature...

2. Database
Oracle in MTS, pooling or not pooling enabled

This was not good for us...so we kept the Java pooling side of the app and
Oracle configured to run in dedicated mode.

We'got a XML policy file which disables JDBC connection pooling for our
application and gives the DBA a choice to configure a 
MTS...

So in our case we two scenarios:

1. DB(MTS) and app(without CP) this is OK

2. DB(dedicated) and app(with CP)

OK. Let me get some things straight:
a) I'm not a developer. I'm one of those vile creatures called DBAs.
I don't program. I troubleshoot other people's programs. Other people
program, I nag. When developers start writing bug-free software which

uses the database in the most optimal way, my job is gone.
b) The whole problem is that even after specifying SRVR=DEDICATED in the
connect string, the darned thing still connects as an MTS connection.
c) What was the issue that you faced? That was my original question.

That's why developping server side code will help as you can "bind" in

Avoid using thick clients...instead put all your logic in Oracle server side

Having read that bind variables will solve all our problems ;-) I've
tried to get the developers to use them. There response being: how? I
don't know much VB and they don't know what a bind variable is. So I
read with interest J Prem's question.  Now knowing what to look for, I
read further, and found that "ADO also does not bind (compile to p-code)
parameterized statements in Oracle" (VB Oracle 8 by Dov Trietsch) 8-( 
Is it true?
Are bind variables that big a deal in VB code anyway? 
We have a lot of badly written code, so are we better off re-writing the
code without bothering about bind variables at the moment?
Am I worrying about nothing?
And no, it doesn't scale particularly well!

Stefan,

This is due to a registry entry - ORA_SID_AUTOSTART.

Open a registry editor, and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/HOMEn (where n is the number Oracle home
of the instance in question, should there be multiple instances), and you
should see ORA_SID_AUTOSTART set to TRUE, just change it to FALSE and it
your instance won't be started..

Hi list

On Oracle 9.2.0.3.0 (patched from 9.2.0.1.0 ): When i start JUST the service
OracleService, most of the times, the database will also be mounted and
opened !
Doesn't matter wether I start the service via gui or via "net start
OracleService" or "oradim  -STARTUP -SID  -USRPWD  -STARTTYPE
srvc", the database will be opened right away.
I definitely don't want that. That sh%&%($t can sc%&$/w up my instance. Does
anybody encounter the same problems ? Couldn't find anything relevant on

AW: Interesting!

2003-06-05 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi

Possible scenario where it might make sense:

You want to "hide" some implementation from people that use your package.
Since, AFAIK PL/SQL doesn't have information hiding (private, protected,
public etc.),
this might be a way of not showing your private helper method's signature 
in your package declaration. 
And yes, I am aware of the fact that it only makes sense with procs, funcs
that 
you only want to use from within the scope of the proc/func you define them
in.
Otherwise you would end up with duplicate code.

Did I miss anything ?

My first real PL/SQL program used this technique.  Of course since it was my
first program I ran into a very annoying variable scope issue.  Of course
after spending hours debugging the code, I realized I should have taken the
advice of our DBA, the infamous Jared Still, and just used a package.  I
have since looked askew at the nesting of procedures.  I can't remember the
actual error I encountered.  It probably had nothing or very little to do
with my nested procedures, but in my mind I can't consider this to be a good
practice.  A package does the same job, and so much cleaner.

P.S.  I think this was the first time I noted Jared's annoying habit of
being right

function c1 ( p1 in number) return number as

AW: Oradesigner9i ERD Diagrams

2003-06-03 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi Tom

I always copy the diagrams to VISIO, print it from there. 
You can adjust stuff (pagesize) better then within Word or the like.
But in cases, the diagrams get so big, that just a plotter 
and 2 square meter paper does the job ;).

PS: If you have the Acrobat Distiller installed, it also 
works very well to send the print to the dummy printer to 
turn it into a pdf.

to
send the output to an electronic file, preferrably something like a PDF or

I find it pretty amazing that we only have one option here - to print it

I know somebody figured this out once by installing a print driver that
saved the result to an image file of some kind, but I cant find the

Title: Unbreakable, my buns. Upgrade to 9.2/w2k



Maybe 
that's a good opportunity to repost a question before I apply 
patchsets:
 

I actually planned on applying the Patchset to lift 9.2.0.1.0 up to 
9.2.0.3.0.
But while downloading, I saw that 9.2.0.3.0 came out on April, 7th, while 

there was 9.2.0.2.1 from April, 12th. In the Readme, it says:
# Earliest version of the product that this patch may be applied to: 
9.2.0.2.1 
So, what's the way to go ? Apply 9.2.0.2.0 patchset plus patches first ? 
Or forget about 9.2.0xxx and just go with 9.2.0.3.0 ?

AW: Cannot allocate new log - checkpoint not complete

2003-04-04 Thread Stefan Jahnke


hi, see inline comments below ...

There are some other effects I can think of.

Up to you if these are important / significant to your users.

If you make them bigger and you have a standby database then the standby
might end up being further behind production (unless you have a script to
workaround this) and also in this case you may then not get the files
transferring successfully (depends on your network etc).

-> His redo logs are 50M right now, that's pretty small. I think it won't
hurt to double the size (unless you run the server on really small
hardware).

Also, if you make them bigger and you have a loss of all redo logs
(hopefully unlikely if they are mirrored on mirrored disks) then you will
lose more data as it will be a longer period of time since the last archive
log was created.

-> That's a VERY good point. Haven't thought about it. The bigger the log
you loose, the more data is lost (of course).

And what about your archive log management scripts - do they keep x days
worth of files (in which case the volume of archive log on disk will not
change) or do they keep y files - in this case the volume of disks would
increase unless the script(s) are altered.

Regards,
Bruce Reardon

Correct.

The only potential disadvantage is that recovery will take longer when
bringing up the database after a crash.

I dissagree, they will be bigger but there will be less of them. If
the amount of processed data does not change, I do not think changing the
size of the redolog files should affect the total amount fo bytes to be
backeup up

Thanks for the recommendation anyway ;)

Cheers,

Fermin.

Hi

I would suggest to increase the redo log size. Doesn't effect you during
daily operation, but prevents the database from hanging during nightly
batches. No side effects I can think of (except for the fact that, of
course, it will take you longer to backup the archived logs since the files
are bigger, duh ;).

Good luck

  Current log# 3 seq# 557295 mem# 0: /baandata/oradata/baan/redobaan03.log
Wed Apr  2 23:31:50 2003

In that exact time, everything freezes and the database is dead
until a new redolog can be used.

I have 3 redologs 50 Mb each. I've read that the error is because
too much data is trying to get into the redologs and all of them are full,
Oracle does not have the time to reuse a redolog and has to wait until the
redolog is ready to be reused. 

So the solution seems to make these redolog files bigger or to
create new ones. What are the side effects of one or the other? will
performance under normal work be penalised?

Sorry, that wasn't clear enough:

I meant the backup time for one individual redo log will increase. Of course
your right, ... the overall bytes to be backed up don't increase.

Correct.

The only potential disadvantage is that recovery will take longer when
bringing up the database after a crash.

I dissagree, they will be bigger but there will be less of them. If
the amount of processed data does not change, I do not think changing the
size of the redolog files should affect the total amount fo bytes to be
backeup up

Thanks for the recommendation anyway ;)

Cheers,

Fermin.

Hi

I would suggest to increase the redo log size. Doesn't effect you during
daily operation, but prevents the database from hanging during nightly
batches. No side effects I can think of (except for the fact that, of
course, it will take you longer to backup the archived logs since the files
are bigger, duh ;).

Good luck
Stefan

Hi
 
I personally 
think the Oracle Developer track doesn't do very much anyway. A combination of 
the SUN Java certification program and DBA OCP might be more helpful. A coworker 
of mine did the latest Developer OCP track and was very disappointed regarding 
the contents of the classes.

With Perl 5.8, are you supposed to use something other than dbd/dbi to

  Hi 
  Paula
   
  Hey... I live in your world.
   
  Our 
  "data warehouse" was designed by someone who had never dealt with ANYTHING 
  relational... but based it on VSAM files and tried to make the 
  leap.
  We 
  have a table with 873 columns in our data warehouse... they call it a FACT 
  table.  It has client name and address (well... they are "facts", 
  right... ?).
   
  You 
  don't have foreign keys... we don't have PRIMARY keys.  We call unique 
  indexes primary keys... but after 10 years of not understanding why queries 
  didn't return data that made sense, they allowed me to put not null 
  constraints on the columns in the unique index (when I told them that they 
  either do that or they answer to the clients).  Historically, the DBAs in 
  this company have done little more than implement what programmers designed 
  and then tried to make it work.  They WON'T use stored procedures, they 
  don't understand them.  THEY write code that sits in files on the OS and 
  call those "programs" via shell scripts.  They heard once that it was 
  faster that way in Oracle 2 and so it must be still true, cause COBOL never 
  changes so Oracle must not change.
   
  The 
  part I like best, though, is... we have a ONE column table with ONE row... 
  SystemDate... because they can't figure how to get sysdate from dual into a 
  variable and use it in their programs... so they start their data warehouse 
  load run with a truncate to that table, and an insert of the date passed in 
  from the OS so they can load the DW tables.
   
  DON'T stop fighting.  I think that is what they want.  I have 
  been told (in meetings where I have been requested for my DBA input) to sit 
  down and shut up unless I am asked a question when I tried to point out things 
  like... you can't have 1500 columns in a table no matter how fast it will make 
  the queries fly... you can't have table names of 72 characters for descriptive 
  sake... you really can't call a column DATE just because that is what is in 
  it, an arbitrary date...  Make them hear you even if they don't 
  listen.  Be the biggest pain they can imagine, eventually it will slowly 
  start to pay off, because eventually they will realize (again VERY slowly) 
  that you are right.  It is how I got the reputation of being a DBA (Dat 
  Bi#$h April)

Guys, 
The emphasis in many places I have worked is developing 
quick and dirty systems as quickly as possible and working with developers 
that don't seem to have very much understanding of Relational Database 
Theory but who prefer to program using flat files in relational databases - 
calling it "object-oriented" when it truly is not.  Let us just say 
that it is highly denormalized.  As a DBA I care about data integrity, 
extensibility and scalability but the up and coming esp. SQL Server

AW: Number of bytes used by number data type

2003-03-25 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi everybody

I'm looking for a way to help with space estimations.
Basic idea: 
 - Run DDLs to create schema.
 - Read dba_tab_columns to get the tables, columns (with data types and
sizes) for the schema
 - Add the maximum possible length for each column for each table

Problem:
 With max(vsize(myColumn)), I'll only get values for current data that's
already been filled into the table.

Is there anything like limits.h in C, that I can check to get the max values
for FLOAT, INTEGER, NUMBER etc., without having to do something like "select
vsize(max_number_value_for_certain_precision) from dual" ? 
Or would it be more reasonable to do something like that: e.g. found a
column like "blah NUMBER(4,2)" in the dictionary, then build a statement
like "select vsize(to_number('99.99') from dual" to be run via dynamic sql ?

Any input ?

Thanks all, the time for the rollback to take place seems to explain why it
takes so long before the session actually disappears from v$session. It's a

will be lots of rollback. ... and I guess I'll opt for orakill then.

Betreff: Re: Remove killed session from v$session


Stefan,

The session stays in the KILLED status because of a lot of reasons - the
primary being the rollback being performed for all the changes the session
did. At some point the session rollback will be complete and the session
will be removed. Don't worry about the session being there.

HTH.

Remove killed session from v$session

2003-03-21 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi list

Is there any way to remove a killed session from v$session. Is it even
necessary to do that ?
I ran this:

select spid, status, osuser, s.program from 
v$process p, v$session s where p.addr=s.paddr

To check for the killed processes' spid in order to remove the thread (it's
9.2 on win2k) with orakill.
But for the killed process, no process is shown. So, what's left ? Should I
even bother or just wait 
till Oracle removes the killed session ?

Stefan

AW: Usage of mySQL in enterprise environments

2003-03-18 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi

I think mySQL is ok, as long as you just use it to dump data into it (like
firewall logs etc.) and run reports on the data using simple SQL. But mySQL
really s$&%cks when it comes to things like subselects, inline views, stored
procedure (and I think the last time, a developer asked me something, I
noticed that at least the version he was using (3 something) didn't even
support views, you had to go with some temporary tables, which do the job,
but it's a totally different concept).
So be prepared to do things "not the Oracle way". ... and when it comes to
transactions (I think ImmoDB tables do support them ok), the main plus about
mySQL (maximum speed on low cost hardware) is gone.

Regards,
Stefan

I've been asked to consider whether we can use
mySQL for non-critical, but probably, enterprise-wide
databases [e.g. information stores].

How good is the feedback on mySQL handling Queries,
Transactions, ConcurrentUserCounts and DatabaseSize ?

AW: From Microsoft Access to Oracle

2003-03-18 Thread Stefan Jahnke



Hi
 
We 
extensively used OO4O with Access 2000. It works fine, gives you all the Oracle 
specific stuff, but ... it's more work, since you have to code more 
things.
I 
personally think it's worth it, eventhough I wouldn't go with Access in the 
first place. If it has to be VB, why not use VB 6.0 and Access just to display 
reports. There are lots of things (e.g. using ocx controls like the MS tree 
control in Access) that make you want to commit suicide.
Nevertheless, the data access itself through OO4O works and we 
didn't have any problems with it.
 
Regards,
Stefan

  Re: From Microsoft Access to Oracle
  The easiest way is to ODBC link the tables and 
  develop like it is an MS Access project.
  This is not the best way due to security and a 
  host of other issues.
  I have seen using ADO & oo4o through VBA 
  to make the connection.
  This seems to work ok, but does require alittle 
  more coding then the average MS Access database project.
   
  OTN has some great sections of using ADO and 
  oo4o.

Hi everybody

Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on Win2k SP2. Issuing the following statement via JDBC thin
driver connection leads to 

ORA-00600: Interner Fehlercode, Argumente: [ttcgcshnd-1], [0], [], [], [],
[], [], []

Statement is:

SELECT
   alias0.ENT_ID,
   alias0.ENT_OID,
   alias0.ENT_CREATE_USER,
   alias0.ENT_CREATE_DATE,
   alias0.ENT_UPDATE_USER,
   alias0.ENT_UPDATE_DATE,
   alias0.ENT_TYPE,
   alias1.PRO_ID,
   alias1.PRO_NAME,
   alias1.PRO_VALUE,
   alias1.PRO_ENT_ID,
   alias1.PRO_CREATE_USER,
   alias1.PRO_CREATE_DATE,
   alias1.PRO_UPDATE_USER,
   alias1.PRO_UPDATE_DATE
 FROM  AFENTITY alias0
  LEFT OUTER JOIN AFPROPERTY alias1
  ON alias0.ENT_ID = alias1.PRO_ENT_ID
 WHERE (alias1.PRO_NAME = 'NAME'
   AND alias1.PRO_VALUE = 'ADMIN/test')
 ORDER BY alias0.ENT_ID

The statement works fine when it's executed in sql*plus. Other statements
before (through jdbc thin connection).

Here is the header of the trace file:

I'm wondering about "SELECT VALUE FROM NLS_INSTANCE_PARAMETERS WHERE

Works fine within in sql*plus. Also, comparing the output of SELECT * FROM
NLS_INSTANCE_PARAMETERS; on the instance that doesn't work with one that
does, it shows the same results.

What's the deal here ? Any ideas ?

AW: Endianness using External Tables

2003-02-21 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Title: RE: Endianness using External Tables



It's 
pretty inconsistent. Using just "DATA IS BIG ENDIAN" and "BYTEORDERMARK 
NOCHECK", it usually doesnn't work, but I also got cases, where it actually did 
work. The DDL scripts are generated and the data looks the same. 

I used 
SQL*LOADER now and it works. I guess we will raise a tar and before that isn't 
completely solved, we'll just go with loader again.

AW: Plain Old Database

2003-02-14 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Title: Message



Hi 
Steve
 
mod_plsql is pretty much a module that allows you to setup communication 
between Oracle db and Apache process in a cgi-like way. I have to admin that I 
don't know exactly, if the pl/sql engine runs embedded within apache like 
mod_perl for instance. But I don't think so, since I guess it has to run within 
the context of the database process.
By the 
way, does anybody know if it's possible to compile a "real" apache form 
apache.org with mod_plsql and dismiss the one oracle delivers 
?

The Apache shipped with the Oracle database has mod perl, mod ssl,

AW: Tuning instance for batch processing

2003-02-14 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Mark and Dennis

Thanks for the replies. I'm actually doing a data conversion (migrating
mainframe data to Oracle). First step wil be loading all the files into a
staging db using external tables. Then, a lot of insert/update jobs will
run, and finally, we will do some queries / pl/sql stuff to check integrity
(on a logical level). Additionally, the machine will be mine for a whole
day, so I won't have to deal with side effects caused by other processes.
Looks like I should go ahead, start a test with plain vanilla configuration,
run statspack, change some parameters or execute queries in parallel mode,
run statspack and so on. And I think all your other  points are also pretty
important, like the use of bind variables, bulk inserts instead of loops
commiting single rows, distribute i/o load etc.

But, it looks like it comes down to: "There is no silver bullet, just
iterative testing" ?

Betreff: Re: Tuning instance for batch processing


Stefan,

Are you looking at tuning in terms of Oracle parameters or rewriting SQL?
I guess one of the first things to consider is:  Will the server be doing
anything else at the same time?  If the batch jobs are the only thing
running then you tuning should probably focus more on execution time than
execution efficiency.  For example, look at things like parallel queries to
load the box and reduce overall execution time.

Other than that the usual rules apply:

1)  Use trace and TKPROF to see what's happening.
2)  Look at using bind variables in queries that are repeated often to
reduce the parse count.
3)  Look at processing a group of records in a single statement rather than
using loops in program logic if at all possible.
4)  Look at I/O - do you have the load balanced well across datafiles /
disks.
5)  If running on UNIX run sar or top or something similar to determine if
the server is working hard.  If not, perhaps you can run jobs in parallel.
5)  Are you doing anything unnecessary (ie: executing a statement within a
loop that will return the same value each time).

Even though #5 seems a little silly it can occaisionally work a treat.  I
was aked to tune a very ugly query once because a batch job was running for
2 hours.  The query, whilst very ugly, ran in under 500ms.  Looking at the
program logic showed it was being called about 12,000 times though and was
guaranteed to return the same value each time.  Running it once and storing
the result in a variable reduced the batch to under 5 minutes.

Regards,
 Mark.

Oracle connection through firewall

2003-02-12 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi everybody

Since I'm a networking dummy, here's a question that might be easy to
answer:

I have to setup client access (Oracle Net) to an Oracle Database through a
firewall. So far, I only know that the listener listens on a dedicated port
(like 1521). After a client requested a connection, a dedicated server
process is started (this is not an MTS environment) and the listener is
informed about the port the server process wants to use to communicate with
the client. The listener sends this information to the client and from
thereon, the client can communicate with the server through this port.
Now, I'm wondering about what ports do I have to keep open on the firewall
between client and Oracle server ? 1521 is probably not enough, since this
let's the client only reach the listener itself. What happens then ? Can I
restrict Oracle Net to a range of ports for the server processes to be used
(didn't find that in the fine manual) ? If so, how is this done ? Or do I
have to go with Oracle connection manager ?

I do not undertstand this command. Oracle database files are in binary

Simply copying does not turn it into text sql scripts.

AW: java

2003-02-06 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi Henry

So, it's basically working now ? Or are you still trying to figure out the
"why" part ?
What does this setup.aix do ? Is it an executable that execs a java process
starting setup.jar ?
Or is it a script you could post here so I can take a look at it ?
Regarding the logs, usually, if a java programm is started and crashes, it
gives you a stack trace, depending on some command line parameters (like
verbose).

Better a week of no luck then a week of no lunch.

Stephan,

Thanks for the reply. You were right, it had nothing to do with java 3D. I
just wish I knew what caused the problem, but with the lack of controls
around here it is tough to test. I noticed the error consistently appeared
in one of two spots, so I set up 4 scenarios to test (different sets of
environment variables). Scenarios 1&2 gave errorA, while scenarios 3&4 gave
errorB. I thought the difference was either due to the different env
variables, or maybe some OS resources weren't being cleaned up, so I reran
scenarioA. It completed successfully (arrgh!!!) after a week of no luck. I
don't have a clue. Oh well.

Hi Henry

I don't know anything about Peoplesoft, but it is very unlikely, that any
kind of java based installer needs Java 3D.
Java 3D is more comparable to the OpenGL libary and I just can't imagine the
need for it in an installer, unless you want some neat 3D features like
animated scenes of buckets of bytes flying from A to B ;).

What Java version does you installer need ? Does it come with it's own
runtime ? Is the correct runtime found ? Are there any issues with this
particular version on AIX (like with Sun's JDK 1.3.1 on Linux for the Oracle
installer) ? Are any Peoplesoft specific libraries needed ? If so, check the
classpath on the machine where it works.

I have a java question so I figured I'd tap into some of the non-Oracle

calls a setup.jar file). This worked on one AIX (4.3.3) box, but is dying
(with no useful error messages or log files) on another box. Checking the
java directories, I noticed java3d is installed on the good box, not on the
bad box. This might be it, but my SA is grumbling about adding that piece to
the other box. He said it failed because of some missing AIX pieces
(patches?). Here are my two questions:

1. Is there any java trace I can use to see where the PeopleSoft install is
dying? Can I confirm it's a call to java3d?

2. Can I safely just copy over the java3d directory, lib files, and bin

of some missing OS stuff, this doesn't seem safe to me (but where does java

AW: Multiple block sizes in 9i

2003-01-16 Thread Stefan Jahnke



Hi 
Jos
 
I used 
that to store data with different row sizes in areas of the database where the 
block size fits the row size best.
For 
instance, you have an OLTP database with rows that fit perfectly fine into 4k 
blocks. Then, you have some tables with "longer" rows. 
So, 
you can go ahead and assign that data to reside on an area with 8k blocks. This 
allows the database to work with buffers, that fit the size of the row best and 
avoid unnecessary i/o.

AW: Replication

2003-01-16 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Hi David

It sounds like Advanced Replication to me. The question is: Will the data
you move from instance A to instance B also be changed on instance B ? Is it
necessary to propagate changes back to instance A ? -> Master-Master
Replication.
Will the data on instance B remain unchanged and only be queried ? -> Plain
vanilla snapshots might be enough.
Could you be more precise regarding the requirements here ?
But anyway, you can take a look at Oracle's replication guide, it explains
all the available options pretty well.

Regards,
Stefan

Betreff: 


List,

I have to move data on a regular basis between two instances of  8.1.7 on
two different UNIX servers.  The schema is exactly the same.  There are 543
tables to be "refreshed".  It is only the "new data" on one of the servers
to move to the other.  What is the best and easiest way to do this?

thanks,

By following the simple advice I read in an article, I have finally found

It said: "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things I had
started".

So, today I have finished one bottle of cognac, two bottles of red wine, a

Amazing, I feel better already!

AW: Unix for oracle dba -- Suggest a book ?

2003-01-07 Thread Stefan Jahnke
Yes. This is also a very good book. I own an older version for Oracle 8.0.x,
but I remember it to be pretty well written and concise.

Another remark on Unix books for Oracle DBAs: My company got a copy of
Oracle 9i Unix Adminstration Handbook by Don Burleson. It starts at the very
beginnings of command line tools and the like, so I already knew that stuff.
I was surprised how badly the book was reviewed by the editors (I guess),
since there were so many (small but still) glitches in there, starting from
the explanation of /etc/passwd to mixing up DOS command line tools and Unix
ones. Nothing big, but if you are a total novice, these kind of things might
be confusing and a professional book at the price of about 50 bucks
shouldn't have that many mistakes. This is very unfortunate, since it is
overall a very neat volumen. That almost reminds me of the Couchman OCP
study guide. Your were ready to be certified by the time you were able to
identify all the errors in the book and to correct them ;).

Regards,
Stefan

AW: Unix for oracle dba -- Suggest a book ?

2003-01-07 Thread Stefan Jahnke
I read it and love it. The only thing I was wondering about is the fact,
that he uses tcl/tk, which I found most people don't use anymore. Nice
surprise.
I wasn't quite sure wether oraora was looking for books that gives more of a
general overview of books that delve into the depth of unix internals.
Anyway, here is my favorite on Unix internals (hence, the name of the book
;):

UNIX Internals: The New Frontiers by Uresh Vahalia

Eventhough it was published in 1995, it gives you a very good understanding
about how things really work and why they work the way they do.

It covers some of the differences in features between 8i and 9i as well as
handling the specifics of administrating Oracle specifically on Unix
platforms.  Highly recommended (at least by me).

Here's another thought. 

Take a strong look at the J2EE architecture. The concept of Entity Beans
+
Session Facade pattern is a strong means of maintaining the 2 important
concepts of OO and relational data. For quite a while I worked to
develop a
strong abstraction layer to maintain normalized data in the db, but give
the
Java developers a true OO API. Now with Entity Beans and intelligent
design
elements I've got the best of both worlds.

Transactional data is most effeciently stored in most cases in
normalized
form. The issue is to not force OO developers to make the leap in their
code. Entity Beans are not strictly OO (since you must reference them by
a
PK), but are close enough to meet the needs of at least 90% of the
enterprise development projects, IMHO.

If the data access is minimal, I suppose the above solution would be
fine.
I'd hate to try to roll out an app with a significant amount of
transactions
with that structure, though.

RE: Object relational features and performance

Here is a book I put beneath my pillow:

Prentice Hall, SUN Series, Core J2EE Patterns (esp. from page 388 on:
Integration tier patterns) by Alur/Crupi/Malks, ISBN-0-13-064884-1

Also alot of specs and papers from the sun java site, like EJB, JTA/JTS
(Transactions), JMS (Messaging), JDO (Java Data Objects), JDBC and
everything that looks like it might have anything to do with data access,
which is most of the J2EE stuff.

Enjoy your holidays, though ;).
