Title: RE: Group By  - Without using aggregate functions






Rollup and cube are sql functions that place subtotals and grand totals into the query (usually shows the other columns as NULL to inidicate a total);

Check the sql reference in the oracle docs for examples of use or the iternet.

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL & URGENT.


I am    a native of Cape Town in

South Africa and I am an Executive Accountant with

the

South Africa  DEPARTMENT OF MINERAL RESOURCES AND ENERGY

First and foremost, I apologized using this medium to

reach you for a transaction/business of this

magnitude, but this is due to

Confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this

medium.


I have decided to seek a confidential

co-operation with you in the execution of the deal

described Hereunder for the benefit of all parties

and

hope you will keep it as a top secret because of the

nature of this transaction.


Within the Department of Mining & Natural Resources

where I work as an Executive Accountant and with the

cooperation of four other top officials, we have in

our possession as overdue payment bills totaling

Twenty - One Million, Five Hundred Thousand U. S.

Dollars ($21,500,000.) which we want to transfer

abroad with the assistance and cooperation of a

foreign company/individual to receive the said fund

on

our behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account

to receive such funds. More so, we are handicapped in

the circumstances, as the South Africa Civil Service

Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore

account hence your importance in the whole

transaction.

This amount $21.5m represents the balance of the

total

contract value executed on behalf of my Department by

a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials

over-invoiced deliberately. Though the actual

contract

cost have been paid to the original contractor,

leaving the balance in the Tune of the said amount

which we have in principles gotten approval to remit

by Key tested Telegraphic Transfer (K.T.T) to any

foreign bank account you will provide by filing in an

application through the Justice Ministry here in

South Africa for the transfer of rights and privileges of

the former contractor to you.


I have the authority of my partners involved to

propose that should you be willing to assist us in

the

transaction, your share of the sum will be 25% of the

$21.5 million, 70% for us and 5% for taxation and

miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100%

safe, on your part provided you treat it with utmost

secrecy and confidentiality. Also your area of

specialization is not a hindrance to the successful

execution of this transaction. I have reposed my

confidence in you and hope that you will not

disappoint me. Endeavor to contact me immediately my

e-mail address  whether or not you are

interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me scout

for another foreign partner to carry out this deal I want

to assure you that my partners and myself are in a

position to make the payment of this claim possible

provided you can give us a very strong Assurance and

guarantee that our share will be secured and please

remember to treat this matter as very confidential

matter, because we will not comprehend with any form

of exposure as we are still in active Government

Service and remember once again that time is of the

essence in this business.

I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.


Yours faithfully,

Analyzing a Trigger for Performance

2002-08-21 Thread johanna . doran

Hi,

I had noticed that one of our triggers is performing very badly.  I had disabled the 
trigger to test replication and there was a issue with the trigger. When the developer 
changed the trigger and enabled it, replication slowed down to one record per second 
(other tables are being updated, instered, and deleted from).

I analyzed the plans for all sql statements generated in the trigger itself 
and they are all using the correct indices etc.  There are no full table scans etc.  
We have simliar trigger on our other replicated tables that are not seeing THIS bad 
performance.

Any one have any suggestions/links for putting this trigger through the paces 
to determine the bottleneck?

Thanks,

Hannah

Selecting from a sequence DOES generate logs.  The statement will be a UPDATE to the

I have an issue right now where we have a runaway process that polls the sequences 
(and doesn't use them), and it is generating SO much archiving that its a real 
issue. (still workging on it)

I used logminer on the archive logs and the seq generates an UPDATE to the sys table 
each time the seq is hit.

RE: Urgent : UTL file problem

2002-08-14 Thread johanna . doran

I have seen this error when the UTL_FILE_DIR parameter is set incorrectly.
It may be a typo, the directory does not exist, or the user hase no access to it.

I have also found that if the value is entered in the OEM (at least on NT), that 
sometimes it is not properly read.  So, instead, I also update this parameter directly 
in the initora file and if I still have problem, copy and paste the path from the 
initora to your code (amazing how many times this has worked).

Hope it helps (I know you are on unix, but it the same thing I use both);  Also, 
the directory in your call MUST be the same as what is defined in the utl_file_dir 
parameter (you may know this, but just in case).

How To grant execute to user on DBMS_LOGMNR package

2002-08-13 Thread johanna . doran



Hi,
 
    I 
would like to grant the ability to a user to run logminer.  I tried 
granting execute on both dbms_logmnr and dbms_logmnr_d to the user to no 
avail.  SQLPlus still requests for it to be declared (Ie. its not seeing 
it). I have even tried qualifying the package Ie. sys.dbms_logmnr when trying to 
execute?
 
    
All the documentation I see and all things on the net all run it as SYS.  
Any suggestions?
 
Thanks,

Hi,

 

    We are seeing an error from a 3rd party etl tool that says:

   

    Cannot find or load Oracle OCI module

 

This is occurring on a production box.  In comparing the oracle files to our development box, we are seeing differences (files missing).  However, Oracle seems to be running ok (database wise, and in relation to other vendor tools).

Where should I be looking for the OCI files and where should they be located?  The dba who did the install is out of the country for a month.

 

Thanks,

 

    Hannah

RE: Unix Script Quest : Urgent

2002-08-09 Thread johanna . doran

Thanks,

But I don't know the file or pid.  Here's what we are doing:

From an NT box, we are trying to run Sagent software to an Oracle db on unix 
sun solaris (both 64bit).  When we try to refresh, we get a sagent error - OCI file 
not found.

Of course it does not specifiy the file name.

Using the same client, I can connect and run on my development box.

Now, I know the username that Sagent connect to unix as, so I was hoping that 
I could run a trace on the Unix box based on the user name.

But I am not finding a clear way to do this.


I want to run the trace on the develpment box (the one that works), so that I 
can retrieve a list of filenames that the sagent process is hitting.  Then I would 
want to compare the filenames to the directories on the prod bix to see what file is 
missing.

Anyway, I am not seeing a clear way of doing this.

I thinkg I'm going to wind up dumping the directories to file and doing a manual 
compare (ugh!)
.

Thanks,

Hannah

Unix Script Quest : Urgent

2002-08-09 Thread johanna . doran



Is there a way to 
capture all files hit by a process/user in unix (Sun Solaris 9, ksh)?  
I am seeing an OCI file not found on my production box.  I can't resovle 
it.
 
So, I want to run 
the same process on my development box (where it works) and get a list of files 
that it is hitting (I can grep by username) for comparison in production.  
Only I am definitely NOT the Unix guru and as this is for a prod issue, so my 
time is very limited.
 
Thanks in 
advance,
 
Hannah

Maybe you could temporarily change the insert trigger to an update trigger

(create or replace trigger before insert or update  on...)

and then simply update the table setting some column to itself. This will

will fire the trigger (and will not change any data in the table).

I didn't understand why you want to commit after each row(?), triggers will

fire in any case, but if you need to, you could do the update  in PL/SQL.

Hi,


I am writing a one-time proc to copy all records from one table to

another table with a commit level of 1 record.  I wrote a proc to do this

using a cursor and for loop but was wondering if there was an alternative

syntax for the insert using the current cursor?


Ie.  Insert into table_A (select current record)


Instead of having to use the VALUES syntax (the table has ALOT of

columns)



Pretty much my purpose is to get the the table to re-fire an insert

trigger (trigger needed to be disables during the intial load) so now I

am making a backup table and copying the records in one by one , commiting

each to get the trigger to complete for each row (the trigge fills other

tables etc).


Any suggestions (and yes, I am in the manuals, but they only showing

thus far the VALUES syntax).


Thanks,


Hannah

Oracle Installer not launching in NT

2002-07-25 Thread johanna . doran



Hi 
List,
 
    I 
saw a similar post to this in the last 2 weeks, but deleted it (oops) as I 
am in a unix shop.  But I now have a client who is trying to install the 
oracle client on his nt box in order to demo our *product*.
 
    
However, he can't get the installer to even launch.  He thinks its a Java 
VM conflict.
 
    
Any ideas?  I need this rather quick so please also reply direct to me and 
in the meantime I will hit the internet.
 
Thanks,

RE: Cognos

2002-07-18 Thread johanna . doran

I had experience with it once.  Even took a training class.  The project NEVER flew.  
I guess it depends on how your data is laod out.  Our database was SO complex that the 
company I worked for hired a consultant to create the CUBE. after 4-6 months, he 
had a few erroneous reports to show and his contract was...ended

We used it a little but not in a way that really benfited anyone.  Currently we are 
using Business Objects to create universes for our users and it seems much cleaner and 
easier to end users to deal with.

RE: Returning a COMPLETE record set from a stored procedure

2002-07-17 Thread johanna . doran

Ok, then the question is, can I pass a REF CURSOR to a C program?
That's my problem.  I know I can do it with ref cursors lets say within a package but 
what if I want to pass a complete recordset to a C program?

We have a programmer writing a program in C, wants us to write stored procs that 
return record sets to his calling program.

Makes sense.  I can do it in Visual Basic just by executing code into a recordset, but 
straight PL/SQL and C I am unsure about.

Returing a COMPLETE recordset from a stored procedure

2002-07-17 Thread johanna . doran



Ok,
 
    
Maybe its just been a rough day, but looking at the docs (PLSQL Devleopers 
Guide), I only see that I can return only a record at a 
time.
 
But say I want to 
return a complete recordset from a stored procedure to a C program, what 
would be my retrun type?  Can I use a collection?
 
The docs aren't 
clear on this and only show examples of retrunung a single 
rowtype.
 
Any links (except to 
metalink - I dont have access) would be helpful,
 
Thanks,

The current *threads* on the subject have persuaded me to pursue the OCP.. I

for Oracle Masters, NOT OCP...
 
    
Can anyone clarify this OCA, OCP, Masters thing hey and what ever happened 
to DBO?
 
    
Guess the main question is do I need that $2000 course JUST to get my OCP..

This should work.  But I took the messier approach (I have 8i) and created before

RE: Replication question

Andy,

Consider yourself solicited!  I am currently using Datamirror for our tandem 
db2 to unix oracle replication.  The product was not chosen for our oracle to oracle 
replication for 2 reasons.  #1 trigger based.  #2 if the source transaction failed to 
be commited at the target, then the source transaction was actually rolled back.

Has this strategy changed?   Also, when I did my original research into rpelication 
products Datamirror products were not using log based replication.  You guys having 
some exciting changes for me over there in beautiful Toronto?

Thanks,

Hannah

RE: RE: Advance Oracle Trigger Writing Advice

2002-06-18 Thread johanna . doran

Hi,

The problem is fairly complex and I am unable to reproduce it by manually 
feeding in the statements of the suspect transaction.  Both statements hit triggers 
which use autonomous transactions to do things.  Its the second statement that fails 
and I am unable to tell if something in the first trigger *primes* a tables, because 
when you rerun the transaction, it does not error out.  We are using a product to 
replicate data from a mainframe to Oracle.  The target tables in Oracle have triggers 
on them.  When the product processes the suspect transactions, an Oracle error is 
raised.  I can read the transaction in the Mainframe logs and I see that the 
transactions fail every 100 or so transactions (and obviously I did not manually feed 
in THAT many).

I think that I am going to look into dbms_pipe, I have used that in the past 
to hone in on renegade sql:>  Good idea.  The triggers already both use autonomous 
trans and I am writing out to a table whenever I enter and leave a block of code.  The 
last block visited befor error is a select statement only, so I am thinking that 
something reallly strange is going  on.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I can get MUCH better control over things with 
dbms_pipe without effecting the code in the trigger ( I think that the commits can) .  
Darn, can't believe that I didn't think about it!

Thanks,

Hannah

RE: I/O contention with external process reading the oracle logs

2002-06-14 Thread johanna . doran

Dennis,

I was not referring to any one on this list.  I was responding to the 
statement that Quest should run a benchmark on someone actual redo logs... I say, 
they might for a cost only I run Shareplex and haven't written full 
response to this thread yet because at this moment I am still iin the midst of 
Production issues with their product.

But to expound a little on my statement.  When we first purchased Quest, we 
were told that we would be able to do many things.  We get it installed and then start 
to play with the *mentioned* optinos.  Can't find it Oooohh you need Live 
Reorg for THAT option..  Happened so many times with supposed 
*features* that I can't count it and it has become a joke in my groupyeah yeah, so 
and so must have attended Quest sales training (when someone is being pushy etc).

Of course, software firms need to sell their wares.   Just like Oracle need to 
license (enough said on that one).  But with this company in particular, it's always 
... yeah we can fix that but you need another product product of ours that can that 
can do that etc.

Now bottom line on the product as follows (as I responded to Tim privately):

When they are GOOD, they are VERY VERY good
When they are BAD, they are VERY VERY bad.

They are more often good then bad.  But sometimes a little bit of dirt can 
spoil the honey.

It would take ony one or two extended prod down times to lose clilents (my 
companies clients) so a little bit a bad sometimes cannot be tolerated.

SALES:  always want to talk to the person above you.
they get to the person above you.
Then then want the person above them

Got to the point that they pretty much told our Sr. Vice President 
that they only wanted to talk to our CEO.

Uh hmm.  We are no small company, quite large actually.  So, 
CEO is OUT.  Even their directors did it.

But they are the only product that can do what we need with as little impact 
on the source , and no triggers (we are not allowed triggers on the source).

So they won the contract.

And when they are up they are robust and stable.  


gotto go.

Shareplex reads the log files so if you can't get the log files

over the existing line, Shareplex can't read them.


have you considered using an NFS mounted disk for your archive log

directory?


or a process that copies the archived logs to the nfs mounted disk on

the primary and a another process that copies them off the nfs mounted

disk on the secondary?


I had to do something like that when I worked with Sybase, back in the

4.7 days, so that I could "backup" the log files realtime.

Hi,

Not sure if it helps, but if the object ACCOUNT already exists, on another

schema, isn't it possible that you have a public synonym for this object (on

the old schema), and imp is trying to create the PK on the wrong object?

Try running IMP with same USER as TOUSER clause.

Subject: EXPORT BUG: oncorrect storage parameters being produced

Bug:617486



I posted earlier and someone responded that this was a bug prior to 8.1.7


Please note that error occurs ONLY with the constraints tables etc are

all created without error.  If I strip the tablespace params out of the

statement and THEN run the statement, I get no errors.


I had the departmental dba re-run the export using the exp version that

comes with 8.1.7 and we still are getting the same error on import


IMP-00015: following statement failed because the object already exists:

 "ALTER TABLE "ACCOUNT" ADD  CONSTRAINT "PK_ACCOUNT" PRIMARY KEY

("ACCOUNT_ID"

 "","GENERATION") USING INDEX PCTFREE 10 INITRANS 2 MAXTRANS 255

STORAGE(INIT"

 "IAL 8388608) TABLESPACE "AURDEV_TS" ENABLE "


Furthermore, I believe that the error message itself is incorrect.


Here's the setup.


The schema that the export was run on has default tbs of AURDEV_TS


The schema I am trying to import into has default tbs of Users


Both schemas in same Oracle instance.


I dont know if it is looking to try to create the object in the other tbs as

written, but the import users has no rights to that tbs.  The object DOES

indeed exist in the tbs but under a different schema.


I found an OLDer bug as follows:


 Bug:617486 caused exports to contain invalid DDL for storage clauses. This

fix allow IMPort to IGNORE the ORA-2219 error if the table already exists

providing a way to import any EXPORT generated with a version of EXP

suffering from Bug:617486


Similar but older version and different error message though similar

behavior.


But we are on 8.1.7 and should not see this.


Any comments? (I have no access to metalink)


Thanks,

Exp/Imp Errors: Tablespace Specific?

2002-06-06 Thread johanna . doran



Hi,
 
    I 
have One db instance containing three schemas to represent development, stage, 
and demo environments.  I occassionally need to *roll* the schemas as a 
release occurs.
 
    
We have been using import/export to accomplish this.  In the past, another 
dba has done this task (so this is why I ask the question 
now).
 
 
    
Schema1 (dev)
    
Schema2 (stage)
    
Schema3 (demo)
 
    
In order to roll out I did the following (after backing up all three of 
course:>):
 
1) Create export file of 
schema1    
    
2) Create export file of schema2
 
    
3) Drop all schema objects in Schema2
    
4) Drop all schema objects in Schema3
 
    
5) Import Schema1 dmp file into Schema2
    
6) Import Schema2 dmp file into Schema3
 
 
Everything went fine 
except for step 5.  I received errors on ALL of the PK constraints 
:
 
. . importing 
table  
"ACCOUNT"  17972 rows importedIMP-00015: 
following statement failed because the object already exists: "ALTER 
TABLE "ACCOUNT" ADD  CONSTRAINT "PK_ACCOUNT" PRIMARY KEY 
("ACCOUNT_ID" "","GENERATION") USING INDEX PCTFREE 10 INITRANS 2 
MAXTRANS 255 STORAGE(INIT" "IAL 8388608) TABLESPACE "AURDEV_TS" ENABLE 
"
 
Also, had it added 
one trigger twice (may NOT be a related issue) - I deleted the extra trigger and 
recompiled it and it was fine (but it was weird to see two with same 
name).
 
Also, received 
errors on ALL of the FKs (as the referencing PKs did not 
exist).
 
IMP-3: ORACLE 
error 2270 encounteredORA-02270: no matching unique or primary key for this 
column-listIMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 
2270: "ALTER TABLE "COMMODITY" ADD CONSTRAINT "FK_COMMODITY_SECURITY" 
FOREIGN KEY " "("SECURITY_ID","GENERATION") REFERENCES "SECURITY" 
("SECURITY_ID","GENERATI" "ON") ENABLE NOVALIDATE"
 
Then, err'd out on 
enabling all constraints (Of course.)
 
My main question is 
why does it think that the object already exists?  I imported using 
FromUser Touser.  The only thing I can see is that the error also is 
containing the tablespace that is assigned to Schema1.  Schema2 and Schema3 
use the same tablespace which differs from the tablespace assigned to Schema1. 
ie:
 
 
    
Schema    Default 
Tablespace
    
**    
*
    
Schema1    
tablespace1
    
Schema2    
tablespace2
    
Schema3    
tablespace2
 
I am wondering if 
the error is inaccurate and what the error should read is that the current user 
is not assigned as a resource to the named tablespace.   So, I am 
wondering how to strip the tablespace specification out of the import.  

 
Actually I am not 
understanding why it is there at all as I dont believe that the storage info 
should be there>?
 
Any 
clues?
 
Thanks,
 
    
Hannah

Dump the prod control to trace

Copy the db files over to dev

edit the dumped controlfile (you can change db name here) 

replace the copied controlfile with the new eidted one and bring up dev


I forget exactly what needs to change in the controlfile file script but db name and I believe reset logs

Subject:    How to move 200 GB db from prod to dev?



Hi! 

We are supposed to clone our production database onto a new development box (both boxes are Sun Solaris). The db is about 200 GB in size.

What would be the best way to achieve this? Simply copying over the files won't work, since the instance names are different:

Production:  SID=PCLDB1 => e.g. /u02/oradata/PCLDB1/system01.dbf 

Development: SID=ROLAND => e.g. /u02/oradata/ROLAND/system01.dbf 

So would export/import the entire db be the only way? (But writing out dump file that big should be a little disk space problem...)

Renaming all the datafiles (approx. 100) would be kind of annoying... 

Any ideas? 

This is 8.1.7 on Sun Solaris. 

Thanks, 

Helmut

RE: Oracle 32 Bit running on Solaris 64 Bit

2002-06-06 Thread johanna . doran
Title: RE: Oracle 32 Bit running on Solaris 64 Bit






Is it possible that you have vendor software that doesn't support Oracle 64-bit?    Before any decisions are made, I would compile a list of all vendor software on the box and also those used specifically for the application.   Then research each vendor and ask if they are compatible with Oracle 64 bit.

Quick funny story... a colleague of mine recently called a vendor to ask if their product (which we currenyly use in our system) was compatible with Oracle 9i.

Somehow, the technical support person was able to reply with a straight face:


    Our product IS compatible with Oracle 9i.. but.. only if you do not use any Oracle 9i features...

So. you really need to talk to your vendors.

Hi there! 

We are running 32-Bit Oracle Software on Sun Solaris 8 (64-Bit). 

What is the advantage of doing this? 

Why don't we use 64-Bit Orlacle on 64-Bit Solaris? 

Nobody here can answer my question and the systems were set up by a consultant. So nobody really knows why this was done... Since we are talking about productions systems, upgrading Oracle Software is not an option...

This is 8.1.7 on Sun Solaris.

RE: I/O contention with external process reading the oracle logs (online redo logs)

2002-06-06 Thread johanna . doran

NB_ RESENDING in plain text - sorry, Outlook keeps seinding in html no matter what 
default i set!
Hi lists,
 
I am using Quest Shareplex product for Oracle to Oracle one way replication.  I 
have two systems (source and target) and two environments  (dev, demo).  On system 
one, the environments are setup as schemas within one oracle instance (therefore each 
schema will be a SOURCE in the replication).  My other system has each environment set 
up a separate Orace Instances (therefore each instance will become a TARGET in the 
replication).
 
I am trying to configure 2 separate replication streams (ie so that each 
replication process is SEPARATE from the other - one for DEV and one for DEMO).  I 
will accomplish this by setting up Shareplex to use mulitple processes.
 
HOWEVER, Quest technical support has told me that this will cause contention.  
However, I dont see why is would from an os/oracle point of view.  Basically Shareplex 
has a process which reads the online redo logs. tech support is suggesting 
that is there a two processes trying to access the same block in the logs that 
contention can occur.  This does not make sense to me.  Below is the blurb from 
techincal support when I questioned their initial repsonse:
 
*
The reason you might run into a contention is because multiple captue processes may be 
reading the same data block in the redo log.  Since there is only one process that can 
access a single block, the other process may have to wait.
Contention is a possibilty, and you will need to run some bench marks to find out how 
much, if any, contention you will have.
*
 
I would find it HARD to believe that only ONE process can read a block at a time.  If 
this were true, then OLTP system would FAIL miserably!
 
Anyone have any ideas/comments regarding the OS and Oracle interaction  I mean are 
not the logs at this pointa UNIX file?  and can't multiple processes read a single 
unix file without bringing the whole system to its knees?
Also,  I am NOT knocking the techincal support, but I believe that the opinion was 
formulated on an incorrect assumption on the operating system and Oracle.
Thoughts/comments?
 
Thanks in advance.

RE: Oracle Presentation for Beginners!

2002-05-09 Thread johanna . doran

This was not always the case.  We must have flooded the server and they shut off 
public access.  There are other sites that have the slides.  The slides are actually 
provided BY Oracle as part of some educational deal (ie. pre-marketing campaign!). But 
I have found these on the net in the past.  Next time I see them, I will download 'em. 

Also,  when this discussion first occurred, I was able to get up on the site and view 
everything.

Ok Keith,

I give.  Let's get a little more serious about this discussion. And in all 
seriousness lets dive ino these iraje products in more depth.  Anyone insterested?  

The menial stuff
Do you work for them? Get comission etc 


The real stuff
How long have you been implementing this via these products?  
How are you set up?
Anything BAD to report about the products?
How has is *saved* some of the goofs. 

I am in a similar situation. And I am SO TIRED OR ERWIN so VERY tired.  
And while I am willing, yearning for a new product to come in and save my day.. I 
would need to JUSTIFY the expense of a new system to my management.  Products I 
personally have never heard of.  We also DO need a modeling tool (which is why we HAVE 
Erwin).  And In the industry there are only a few well known tools, all of which are 
probably MORE well  known for their bugs even so 

Anyone else out there used these products that can speak for them?

Please advise.

Hannah

Syntax For Dropping a default value?

Hi,

Been searching for syntax to drop a default value (we decided NOT to use the 
default value) for a colmun.
  I looked in the docs and even tried to remove the default value via DBA Studio.

No go.  Can you not modify a column to REMOVE a default value specification?

Thanks,

As far as I am aware : NO.  It has played a major role in me not being able to obtain

RE: ERD generation tool

2002-05-02 Thread johanna . doran

I dont mind the PK thing, I prefer it that way, but it also inconsistently places 
migrated foreign keys on the bottom (this is just mdoeling, no reverse engineering).  
This is just a slight pain for us as we have a bunch of auditing fields that I like to 
be last for readability.  Sometimes I can move them, soemtimes I can't.

RE: ERD generation tool - Active Comparisons

2002-05-02 Thread johanna . doran

Why?  For consistnecy.  I am in charge of making ALL changes to the data model, then 
rolling out those changes to the db.  Our developers RELY on me and my tools for a 
database that reflects the model that we developed (Without Error). 

Therefore, everything we do here STARTS with the model (dreamy, huh?).  And the 
developers agree with this as we can get literally hundreds of changes (this has 
calmed down now that we have our first release), and this is the best way in our case 
to manage it (one point of change).

Now, I had been seeing some *weird* stuff creep into the model (inconsistencies, 
datatypes not being consistent from the logical to physical model etc).  So, I spent 
some time going throught the entire model *fixing* the little stuff and syncing the 
logical and physical models.  I ran a bunch of reports to looks at it (and got some of 
the wierdness that I mentioned previously like pk cloumn showing up a NULLABLE...etc). 
So, as a further TEST, I rolled out the model using the scripts generated by ERWin and 
just for the Heck of it, decided to do the compare and it failed.  NO ONE was mucking 
with the database.  But compares from model to db are useful for syncing the db IF 
something like that should happen.

Think of it this way, copying a file in an editor (take Word for example).  You may 
not NEED that extra file, but you would be completely WIGGED out if your copy was NOT 
the same as the original.  Which was my point of doing it in the first - to test 
ERWin.  It failed.

RE: ERD generation tool

2002-05-01 Thread johanna . doran

ERWin's not much better.  Has some better modeling capability as you might guess, but 
has some VERY annoying quirks too.  You also need to drill down endlessly when doing a 
compare and I have seen it see two exact tables (even case being the same) and see 
them as different.  The DO have a MATCH button that I would SUPPOSE allows you to 
re-align them, but I would not know for sure as I get Dr. Watson's whenever I press it 
and the whole thing crashes!

I had a nice BUG last week only.  Generated scripts for the model, ran them on the db, 
then ran a compare from the model to the db.  Darn thing came up with differences

Furthermore, I find that if you work from the Logical Model (like I do), the changes 
are not equally presented to the physical model (ie name change./datatype change) 
and its NOT consistent with this behavior either!

It has a report builder, but it doesn't report on datatypes entered on the Logical 
side (even though the datatype on the physical MAY be different) = therefore you can't 
run any consistency reports between the Logical and Physical models.

I have been using ERWin both as a modeling tool and a change repository for the model. 
   I like to run several reports against a model (I call them the Sanity Checks 
Reports) you know, make sure that all columns named the same (ie DESCRIPTION) are 
of the same datatype, length, etc.

Anyhow, I can rant and rant.  

ERWin's BIGGEST Annoyance is my book is that there is no UNDO feature and it is rather 
easy to accidentally drop and drag either a relationship or field when re-aligning the 
model..
ugh

I wish we could get together a group and benchmark some relatively unknown but stable 
modeling tool who's maker will listen to the DBA community and put their name in the 
market (IE. give them market share) in exchange for giving our community a tool that 
would actually work for us and work well!

Rant over now.

RE: Database Normalization-Outdated?

2002-05-01 Thread johanna . doran
Title: RE: Database Normalization-Outdated?






I Admin'ed a vendor app that was built similar to this (and the UI was in Designer - made me not think kindly of Oracle duh-velopment environments).  Except that they had more tables to contain all the CODES.  I always referred to this nightmare application's db as being SUPER-ASSOCIATIVE.  This app went as far as in the CODE tables, having the ID , CODE and table that this code belonged to.

WHAT a nightmare.  It was a very complicated app (had to due with auditing for governmental reporting purposes in the Pharma industry).  They tried to throw COGNOS on top of it to do business analysis and the whole project became the LEAD AIRPLANE.  Because the way that tables were designed, it was practically impossible to create an effective CUBE for business analysis.  In this app, not only did you need to do a select distinct, but further join it.  I once had to write a query linking 17 tables  what a mess.  Should have been 2-3 tables at max.

They (the vendor) was trying to be flexible to allow each client full customization...  unfortunately supporting it was a nightmare (my Trial by fire app:>).

But I would be WARY of changing DB philosophy based on one consultant's view.  I would try to find some case studies.  Also, ask for references from his former clients and CALL THEM.  Ask them how this how impacted their development, business analysis etc.

Also wonder about any business analysis tools that one would want to implement (Ie. Cognos, Business Objects) will this NEW fangled design play nice nice with the tools that are currently out there.

I would want to see a small demo using business data (ie. prototype) and run some *run of the mill* queries on it and compare performance to an equal but normalized desing.

IE.  Create a small Customer design using both, popluate, then benchmark.  


Hannah


PS.  I'm always up for new and interesting ways to implement technology.  But it would take more than just the glitter to actually convince me to implement it.

RE: ERD generation tool

Title: RE: ERD generation tool






When I was in an NT shop, we used Visio (I know...I know), but given that I was not architecting at the time, I can't compare with the Erwin that I am using now.

I remember at the time though, the ERDs created using Visio were accurate for what we were doing (just documenting DBs).  Its CHEAP compared to the *real* tools, like ERWin and will generate ERDs from several sources.

RE: Oracle ODBC On Windows95 (Don't ask) :)

2002-04-25 Thread johanna . doran
Title: RE: Oracle ODBC On Windows95 (Don't ask) :)






Are you just trying to setup an ODBC conenction?


In Control Panel, you should see an icon for an ODBC manager where you can add dns entries .  You STILL will need to install Oracle client.  Use the db alias name for the Service name in the ODBC setup.

On 95, I believe that there are 2 sets of Oracle ODBC drivers,  one put out by Oracle and the other by Microsoft. funny but I remember we had to use the Microsoft drivers because we had problems with the Oracle ones.

That's all I really remember, but feel free to get me off list for more specifics if you need them.

Log on denied.... from script: Urgent - Pre-production Testing

2002-04-19 Thread johanna . doran

Hi,

We have an ETL script that logs onto the db.  The scripts usually runs without 
error.  During pre-production testing, we rec'd a logon denied error message.  We 
re-ran the scripts and all was fine.

I did not see anything in the alert log, only message for today was a redo log 
roll.  Can anyone point me in the direction to troubleshoot this issue.  We are in the 
testing phase of a system that is scheduled to go live and I am not preparded to allow 
this type of thing to slip by.

Are there some other misc log either on Unix or Oracle that I can check to see 
what may have happed?

I am running Oracle 8.1.7. on Sun Solaris 8 (both 64 bit).  I would like to see if 
maybe there are semaphores for sessions etc that may need to be adjusted.

Thanks,

Hannah
