Adar,

>From what I understand and have seen it's not just at 4GB - it's EVERY 4GB.
So for example if your database extends from 3.8GB - 4.2GB it fail just as
it will extending from 7.8GB-8.2GB or 11.8GB - 12.2GB (for example).

It certainly DOESN'T mean that you can't use files larger than 4GB!

Hello Aleem

This is not a boundary. It is a problem if you use autoextend and the file
grows from less then 4Gb to more then 4GB.

Hi,

Sure that Sybase has not all the nice features Oracle
has but I'm a bit surprised that you find it way too
slow, do you have Sybase 12.5 ? 
12.5 has interesting new features compare to 11.9
version.

"20 users doing ad hoc queries ..."
I supposed you have a tool like Business Objects or
Cognos and you're hiding the tables behind a user
layer.

"Some typical queries involve joining 2 tables each
holding 2 Million rows."
Are you using dimensionnal modeling ? You can have a
dimension with a million lines but it's very rare.

Have you built aggregates ?
The only good way to speed up queries in a DW is to
pre-calculate the data.

Have you investigate to see what is the bottleneck in
your application ?
Depending on it you may or may not solve it by using
Oracle DW features : partitionnning, star join, ,...

RE: Data Warehouse on Windows

2002-08-19 Thread Jared . Still

Oracle licenses are generally sold per CPU or per user, and cover
only the machine on which the license was purchased for.

We have a licensing arrangement that is per user and covers that
user on any system we wish to put a database on.  I don't know if
Oracle still sells licensing that way.  I don't think so, but you'd have
to ask your sales critter to find out.

There are some companies that have purchased site licenses also.
Again, I don't know if Oracle still does that.

Jard,

"If you're not already under some kind of license that covers existing

As we are on licensing with Oracle, I would appreciate if you could
elaborate what you mean by "covering on new system".

TIA!

Antje,

Before you determine the number CPU's, you need to talk to your
Oracle rep about your proposed DW and determine how they will
make you license it.

If you're not already under some kind of license that covers existing
users on a new system, Oracle will likely tell you that you need to 
license per CPU.

If that's the case, you might consider going with the fastest CPU's you
can get, and limiting it to 2 CPU's.  With that number of users and a 
fairly small DW, you would most likely be fine.

Of course, I don't know anything about your requirements, but I do
know that an EE license is $40k U.S. per CPU, which can really eat
into the budget for a small project.

HTH

You can search metalink for "4gb boundary" or "windows 4gb corruption" -
both of these should raise various notes which refer to it. But, as already
mentioned if you ensure AUTOEXTEND is OFF you'll have nothing to worry
about. AFAIK this is only a WINDOWS problem.

Jard,

"If you're not already under some kind of license that covers existing
users on a new system, Oracle will likely tell you that you need to 
license per CPU."

As we are on licensing with Oracle, I would appreciate if you could
elaborate what you mean by "covering on new system".

TIA!

Antje,

Before you determine the number CPU's, you need to talk to your
Oracle rep about your proposed DW and determine how they will
make you license it.

If you're not already under some kind of license that covers existing
users on a new system, Oracle will likely tell you that you need to 
license per CPU.

If that's the case, you might consider going with the fastest CPU's you
can get, and limiting it to 2 CPU's.  With that number of users and a 
fairly small DW, you would most likely be fine.

Of course, I don't know anything about your requirements, but I do
know that an EE license is $40k U.S. per CPU, which can really eat
into the budget for a small project.

HTH

Hello Antje

Pay close attention to the type of windows version they install on the
server.
I got into a situation where I wanted to use 3GB for Oracle and it turns
out that we have the standard NT edition instead of Enterprise edition
and a single process is limited to use 2GB memory.

It is a problem with Oracle DataFiles on the 4GB boundary.

Doc ID:  Note:148894.1
  Subject:
  ALERT: Problems with Datafile
  AUTOEXTEND/RESIZE on Oracle8i on
  NT/2000 Platforms
  Type:  ALERT
  Status:  PUBLISHED
  Content Type:   TEXT/PLAIN
  Creation Date:07-JUN-2001
Last Revision   Date:25-JUL-2002



  Problems with Datafile AUTOEXTEND/RESIZE on Oracle8i on NT/2000 Platforms
  ~

  Change Record
  ~~
  27-Dec-01: The fix release in the Patches section of this alert was modified
  from 8.1.7.2 to 8.1.7.3.


  Versions Affected
  ~
The problems described here can affect releases 8.1.6 and 8.1.7.

  Platforms Affected
  ~~
The problems affect Oracle8i releases on Windows NT and Windows 2000.

  Description
  ~~~
Releases of Oracle8i on Windows NT and Windows 2000 platforms can exhibit
serious problems when a datafile autoextends or is resized onto a 4GB
boundary (e.g. 4GB, 8GB).

When a datafile has been configured such that it will autoextend onto a
4GB boundary, any attempt to autoextend:
  a.  when in noarchive log mode it causes the database to crash
  b.  when in archive log mode the file is marked offline in V$RECOVER_FILE

When not in archive log mode, it is safe to restart the database and
continue, altering datafiles to autoextend onto different boundaries asap.
NOTE: It may be necessary to stop and restart the OracleService itself.

The only way to recover this file when in archive log mode is to restore
the whole database and roll forward to a point before the file 
autoextended.

  Likelihood of Occurrence
  
It is highly likely that problems will be encountered if an attempt is
made to autoextend or resize a datafile onto a 4Gb boundary.

  Possible Symptoms
  ~
The possible symptoms from this problem are:

a.  The database crashes (when in noarchive log mode) and the alert file
and database writer (DBW0) trace file report:

KCF: write/open error block=0xX online=Y
 file=N '..'
 error=27069 txt: 'OSD-4026: Invalid parameter passed. (OS-204802)'

b.  The file is marked offline in V$RECOVER_FILE and access to the 
database
continues. The following error appears in the alert.log:

KCF: write/open error block=0xX online=Y
 file=N '..'
 error=27069 txt: 'OSD-4026: Invalid parameter passed. (OS-204802)'
Automatic datafile offline due to write error on file N: '..'

  Workaround
  ~~
The only safe workaround at present is to ensure that no file is 
resized or
created to autoextend onto a 4Gb boundary. This is best achieved by making
sure all datafiles have AUTOEXTEND disabled.

It is advisable to read the article below which describes potential
issues using files of 2Gb or larger in size as this may influence the
maximum datafile size you choose to use.

  Patches
  ~~~
A fix is now available in 8.1.7.1.4  and will be included in
8.1.7.3

RE: Data Warehouse on Windows

2002-08-16 Thread Bishop Lewis

It is an Oracle on Windows problem. Basically it's not that you can't have
files over 4GB - just don't have autoextend on (something I always avoid
anyway). You CAN manually extend past the 4GB boundaries (ie 4, 8, 12...).

Re: Data Warehouse on Windows

2002-08-15 Thread paquette stephane

DW are memory hungry...

It really depends on the application needs, there will
be less than 20 users, if the design is good they
won't be hitting raw ultra-detailed data with query
using only one dimension ...

Depending on the kind of data loads, 4G of ram can be
quite enough for a small DW. 

Before buying the hardware, is there any capacity
planning that will be done ?

Re[2]: Data Warehouse on Windows

2002-08-15 Thread dgoulet

Well, there are options Jared.  If your using a system that has 4 or fewer CPU's
you could license standard edition which does not have all of the bells and
whistles of Enterprise.  That though would constrain a datawarehouse somewhat,
but at $15K per processor it is cheaper.  Now if you can absolutely tell Oracle
who the users are and don't have a web server or other transaction processor in
between the users and the data then you can go for a user based license.  BUT
you've got to license 5 users per processor minimum which as was said with < 20
users that's a good 4 CPU box.  User licenses are $300 per on Standard and $800
per on Enterprise.  Breaking out the old calculator yields a price tag of $16K
for a 4 processor box with 20 users on Enterprise edition.  Not too bad.  But
watch out for the maintenance too, that adds $3,520 to the purchase price & is
an annual bill.

Just make sure that whoever buys the server buys it with all of the memory(ram)
it will hold.

Antje,

Before you determine the number CPU's, you need to talk to your
Oracle rep about your proposed DW and determine how they will
make you license it.

If you're not already under some kind of license that covers existing
users on a new system, Oracle will likely tell you that you need to 
license per CPU.

If that's the case, you might consider going with the fastest CPU's you
can get, and limiting it to 2 CPU's.  With that number of users and a 
fairly small DW, you would most likely be fine.

Of course, I don't know anything about your requirements, but I do
know that an EE license is $40k U.S. per CPU, which can really eat
into the budget for a small project.

HTH

Re: Data Warehouse on Windows

2002-08-15 Thread Jared . Still

Antje,

Before you determine the number CPU's, you need to talk to your
Oracle rep about your proposed DW and determine how they will
make you license it.

If you're not already under some kind of license that covers existing
users on a new system, Oracle will likely tell you that you need to 
license per CPU.

If that's the case, you might consider going with the fastest CPU's you
can get, and limiting it to 2 CPU's.  With that number of users and a 
fairly small DW, you would most likely be fine.

Of course, I don't know anything about your requirements, but I do
know that an EE license is $40k U.S. per CPU, which can really eat
into the budget for a small project.

HTH

Jared

Re: Data Warehouse on Windows

RAID 0+1.  Hardware mirroring.  Pentium III, two CPUs and 1G of RAM.  And a
sysadmin who can set up the RAID (the contracting officer will break my
hands if I touch hardware other than the keyboard).  Get dual controllers
if you can so you can do some worthwhile separating of redo logs and
rollback segments.  Probably it will be a Dell or a Gateway.  Don't bother
with a monitor bigger than 15".  For some reason management figures that a
high price computer needs a large monitor (probably some sort of Freudian
envy at work there) but this is going to be a server that will sit off in a
quiet corner with no one sitting at the keyboard.  No sound board, no
speakers, no fancy video board.

Re: Data Warehouse on Windows

2002-08-15 Thread paquette stephane

In a datawarehouse you want to exploit parallelism as
much as possible. So you'd better with many processors
and independant mount points. 

As raid 5 is very popular because it's cheaper, you
will probably put your data on raid5 but fight to put
your redo on non raid 5 disk.

Do you have a good idea of the architecture ?
Will you load the data daoly, weekly, monthly ?
You may end up with a design where the database is non
archivelog and allmost all the loads are done in
direct path with nologging , then putting the redo on
raid5 is less important.
