RE: Importing Schema getting compilation errors on some triggers

2003-04-04 Thread Weiss, Rick
Scott:

My first thought is to ask if there are any external references (other
schemas, SYS packages, etc.) in the triggers that may not exist in TRAIN
that do exist in TEST

Hello,

Oracle 8.1.7.4
HPUX 11.11
App is Famis Maintenance Management System

I have 3 instances TEST, TRAIN, PROD and I am trying to refresh the whole 
famis schema on TRAIN with the famis schema on TEST.
Every time I try to do the import, I get compilation errors for 4 triggers 
(out of 75).  I tried to re-compile them in the TRAIN instance after the 
import and get the same compilation errors.  I try to re-compile them in 
TEST which is where they came from and they compile without a problem.   I 
don't understand why this would happen when I exported the whole schema 
from TEST and imported the whole .dmp file into TRAIN.

Any Thoughts?

RE: Importing Schema getting compilation errors on some

2003-04-04 Thread Weiss, Rick
Do you have execute privs set for MAILER.DBMS_OFFICE?? 
Does it exist on the second database??
Is the MAILER schema on the database?

(I'm climbing my ladder of thoughts as I'd check them)

Just a thought

I'm guessing it's a problem with DBMS_OFFICE and not with the trigger after

Copying PL/SQL Objects

2003-03-27 Thread Weiss, Rick
Title: Copying PL/SQL Objects





I have a question for the group:


What is the best way to copy a large set (400 pkgs alone) of PL/SQL objects (procedures, packages, etc.) from SCHEMA_A on database A (8.1.7.2 on AIX) to SCHEMA_A on database B (9.2.0.2 on W2K) without whacking the tables, indexes on database B?

I have thought about EXP/IMP, but the tablespace names do not match.


Thanks

You are comparing CHAR to DATE, you would need one of the following
conditions

1- where DATECREATED = to_date('01-FEB-03 07:53:28','DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS')

2- where to_char(DATECREATED,'DD-MON-YYY HH24:MI:SS') = '01-FEB-03 07:53:28'

to be able to complete the WHERE clause

Subject: Skill Sets - This may be a 
dumb question

Hello everyone, 
Well I've been "reassigned". I was 
responsible for the completely messed up Peoplesoft Oracle/AIX environment 
but management here decided that it was more important to separate a husband 
and wife that both work in the same department, and assigned one of them to 
be primary support in this environment instead of me. (sshh: The 
new person who is primary doesn't know a thing about Unix.) My primary 
job is now suppossed to be data modeling and data warehouse/mart design, 
moving on into Problematica (er, Informatica) development into a Sql Server 
database. I will not be the admin on the Sql Server database. My 
new boss referred to this as "database architecture". ?? 
What? They have already decided what they want done and just want 
someone to take the pretty pictures and implement them with unrealistic 
deadlines.
The main reason why I am upset is because it 
seems to me that data modeling is such a "soft" skill. I am concerned 
about keeping my skills up to date and keeping my hands in an Oracle 
environment, whether it's a mess or not. Seems to me that data 
modeling alone isn't something that can land you a new job or really spiff 
up your resume. I think that having a finite list of skills (Oracle, 
Unix, Windows 2000, Erwin, Project, crap like that) is more what employers 
search for, and is what HR depts can easily deal with. 
Am I wrong? This job pays well and working 
for a huge company has it's benefits, if you can deal with the bureaucracy 
similar to what is described in the 1st paragraph. And I know in this 
market I am just lucky to have a job. 
And please tell me if I'm whining. I may 
just need a KITA. Who knows anymore...

Under no circumstances would you consider moving your production db back
from 8.1.7 to 7.3.3, would you?  So the only possible reason for retaining
them would be to support a newly-acquired application (!?!?!?!).  Even if
you still had the CDs, shouldn't you just say you didn't?  :-)

They make great tacky drink coasters.  If you're into skeet shooting or
plinking, then there's another good use...

Speaking of plinking, former Minnesota Governor (and boa-wearing pro
wrestler) Jesse Ventura had a quote that was relevant:  Gun control?  Sure
I believe in gun control.  Putting three shots through the same hole --
that's gun control!  If you can put a BB through the drive hole of the CD
without touching from 10 meters out, that's gun control!

Looking for a solution to version controlling of database 
objects in Oracle. 
The scenario is like this: 
Multiple people simultaneously work on the same database 
object in TOAD. 
How can we implement a version controlling feature. 

Putting this in simple words, 
If X checks out a file from TOAD and Y needs to work on the 
same file (assuming they have the same 
privilege), Y should not be allowed to work on the 
object till X finishes working on it. 
We want to put a restriction on the database objects such 
that simultaneously no two users should be able to 
work it. 
Integrating VSS with TOAD was not acceptable since it would 
be file based(saving the .sqls). 
Qs. Is there any feature available in Oracle(with oracle 
8.1.7) or any third party tool that does this ? 
so send the HELP command for other information (like 
subscribing).

   After Step 2, do a create table as select or sql*plus

 11) ANALYZE both tables COMPUTE STATISTICS
 12) SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TB - yields 88640 rows
 13) SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TB - yields 88640 rows
 14) EXP - both tables now export 88640 rows 
  
 What in the world is going on??
  
 Great puzzler for the group to mull over

 Rick,
 Try the following to see which rows are missing. It the same rows 
 are missing each time, perhaps there is a common thread. If not, 
 well
  
 After Step 2, do a create table as select or sql*plus copy. This 
 will create a backup version. Do a count(*) from each to make sure the
 numbers
 agree.
 After Step 4, select * from table1 minus select * from
 backup_copy to
 locate the missing rows.

 I have a recurring, repeatable problem I was wondering about its 
 cause.
 
 Oracle 9.2.0.1 on W2K Professional (SP2) Dell Optiplex workstation 
 Pentium 4
 
 
 Step 1 - I do an SQLLDR process that loads 88640 rows to a table
 Step 2 - SQL*Plus session - SELEC COUNT(*) from the table returns
 88640 rows
 
 Step 3 - Do an EXP on the table (to allow fall back to this point) - 
 only exports 87257 rows
 Step 4 - SQL*Plus session again - SELEC COUNT(*) from the table
 returns
 87257 rows 
 
 No one else has access to the database.  There are no unusual entries 
 in the alert log.
 There is nothing I have found in the UDUMP or BDUMP directories that
 would
 help. 
 
 Has anyone else experienced this??
 
 Thanks

Case of the Missing Rows

2003-01-27 Thread Weiss, Rick
Title: Case of the Missing Rows





I have a recurring, repeatable problem I was wondering about its cause.


Oracle 9.2.0.1 on W2K Professional (SP2) Dell Optiplex workstation Pentium 4


Step 1 - I do an SQLLDR process that loads 88640 rows to a table
Step 2 - SQL*Plus session - SELEC COUNT(*) from the table returns 88640 rows
Step 3 - Do an EXP on the table (to allow fall back to this point) - only exports 87257 rows
Step 4 - SQL*Plus session again - SELEC COUNT(*) from the table returns 87257 rows


No one else has access to the database. There are no unusual entries in the alert log.
There is nothing I have found in the UDUMP or BDUMP directories that would help.


Has anyone else experienced this??


Thanks

RE: Producing .mdb output from sqlplus or SQL or PL/SQL

2003-01-24 Thread Weiss, Rick
Patrice:

I have used the data extract function in EXCEL to select data from views and
tables in my database using an ODBC connection.  I imagine you could do the
same thing from within ACCESS as well.

You run the query and it populates the spreadsheet which can then be saved.

I am wondering if it is possible to produce .mdb or .xls format files from
inside Oracle.

Can this be done?
