Is there a way to log the sysdba account accessing sys.aud table? In my reading, I have not found a solution to this yet.

Rollback seg for an entire session, not just per transaction? Implicit commits in PL/SQL?
A colleague wants to do a large load using multiple PL/SQL programs; she typically (has the DBA) turns off all rollback segments except for SYSTEM and one large rollback segment. Some questions: Will the rollback segment called SYSTEM in the SYSTEM tablespace never be used for user session transactions? Is there any way to specify which rollback segment to use for an entire session versus per transaction? I'm not sure if her PL/SQL code performs implicit commits so I'm not sure doing one commit + set transaction before executing the procedure(s) will have the desired effect. Will Oracle ever do an implicit commit inside a PL/SQL procedure or is a commit performed only with the commit command or when exiting a procedure? Thanks very much. - Dana __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: New born DBA
shameless plug get the book _Oracle DBA 101_ it has not only that kind of list, but lots and lots of other good stuff. and you can always ask one of the authors questions right here on the list.;-) /shameless plug did i do good rachel?;-) Question for the authors here (offline responses ok): with book-writing for technical issues, are these usually work-for-hire affairs or royalty-based? I ask as a DBA who does a small amount of (travel-related) freelance writing on the side. With the relatively higher price tag of technical books but lower number of sales, e.g.: SELECT count(*) from BOOK_SALES where SUBJECT = 'DATABASE ADMINISTRATION'; SELECT count(*) from BOOK_SALES where SUBJECT = 'PERSONAL FINANCE'; Which works out better for technical authors? Work-for-hire (flat one-time fee, publisher purchases the copyright) or royalties? My guess is work-for-hire unless the royalties are a generous percentage of list price (versus net). I've heard co-authors of technical books receive as little as USD (or should that be USC) 25 cents a book when royalties are paid. Thanks. - Dana __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Oracle Books on Audio Tapes
--- Apps Sol [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there any place where we can get Oracle books on Tape (Audio tapes or CD's) RK I doubt it. From what I understand, audio books are primarily made from best-selling fiction. What non-fiction audio books exist are probably limited to stuff with the broadest general appeal (best-sellers). I've personally never heard of technical books on tape/audio CD. However, you might be able to make your own, rather tediously, if you receive a PDF version along with a "dead tree" technical book. 1. Copy-paste the text from the PDF to your word processor of choice. 2. Use text-to-speech software to creave WAV files 3. Burn to CD. Or, you may want to purchase some Oracle Computer-Based-Training CDROMs and burn the audio tracks to an audio CD(if they're in a standard audio format or a format you could convert to WAVs) - or convert and download to an MP3 player.

DBA job market in Australia and Asia?
What's the job market like for Oracle DBAs in Australia (Queensland and NSW)? Is demand being satisfied mostly with local talent? I've heard that's the case for much of the IT market there. Would it be difficult for an American Oracle DBA to secure a work visa in Australia or Asia? Any demand for English-speaking Oracle DBAs in Asia? I've heard English-speaking techs are in high-demand over in Asia, but where specifically and doing what specifically I don't know (possibly technical training conducted in English, or English for programmers/engineers/techs; or technical writing). How would a person go about finding these jobs? Any companies hiring around Boston that would send Oracle DBAs on overseas assignments? Thanks very much. - Dana __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

STATSPACK or equivalent for 8.0.X databases?
Will statspack ever be available, in a supported version, for Oracle 8.0.X? We'll be upgrading the machine I'm concerned about to 8.1.X eventually (next six months or so); But for now, I'd like to have access to a more sophisticated tuning-data gathering tool than bstat/estat. I find it appalling that bstat/estat can't collect, compare, and contrast multiple sets of tuning data over time; that it can't calculate db buffer cache hit ratios, etc. We've purchased Spotlight on Oracle from Quest; But come to find out (someone else did the research and made the purchase recommendation before I became involved), Spotlight is merely a real-time monitor and can't save tuning data. I thought about writing something to retrieve data from the Spotlight tables, or modifying bstat/estat to make it do what I want, but statspack seems to do everything I want - and who wants to reinvent the wheel? Any good tuning data gathering freeware out there (with statspack-like functionality) for use with 8.0.X databases? Thanks very much. - Dana __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

confused about # of extents per segment performance issue
Apparently, it's a widely held myth that a large # of extents (let's say "BETWEEN 5 AND 1000") per table segment is bad for performance. Yet the same sources who label the belief mistaken persist in pushing for fitting all of a table in the INITIAL extent. And that confuses the heck out of me. What gives? Is it that fetching a new extent on the fly, the act of obtaining a new extent, creates too much overhead? And finis, no more concern beyond this? If you approached a database for the first time and it already contained a segment with 500 extents, would that segment's number of extents not be a performance concern unless you expected it to continue grabbing new extents? Let's say it would never have a new insert, update, or delete. Would there be any performance value in crushing the segment down to fit in one extent? What's the definitive answer on this? I remain confused about coalescing as well; anyone know of a good whitepaper or article on coalescing/fragmentation for Oracle 8 and beyond? Thanks. - Dana __ Do You Yahoo!?

Tuning, RAID5, and fragmentation
Presuming a DBA is forced to use RAID5, what elements of tuning become irrelevant? (in the sense that if you're stuck with RAID5, warts and all, then trying to tune X, Y, and Z would be a waste of time / ineffective). Load balancing files would be one thing.. no way to put indexes and tables on different disks (ditto redo log file members, etc) with one massive RAID5 volume. What about fragmentation and coalescing? Are these still a concern for tablespaces located on RAID5 volumes? Has anyone written an article about Oracle and "living with RAID5"? I'm finding that a customer has several Oracle databases on systems with nothing else but RAID5 storage for everything. Thanks very much. - Dana __ Do You Yahoo!?
