Re: ORA-2085

2002-05-22 Thread Yechiel Adar

Hello Dennis

It DOES.

We rebuilt our databases number of times during system test.
We are using vendor supplied scripts to build the database
from an export file.
We run the exactly same script on both machines and got two
databases that are exactly the same.
However on the backup machine we run this command after building
because you can not have two databases having the same global name
when working with global_names = true (of course, that the whole point
of the parameter).

After this we rebuild master to master replication - no problems.

Also as part of the system test we moved the users ( parameter in the
application)
to the backup machine and they worked without problems, although the global
name was different.

At last something that I have experience in.

Just do the following:

On the target database issue the following:
Alter database rename global_name to donot_trigger;

We had the same problem. This solves it.
The global name has no other influence.

RE: ORA-2085

2002-05-21 Thread John Weatherman

Yes, I "inherited" this, and I am setting up Multimaster
Advanced Replication, setting global_names=false isn't an
option.  I have suggested moving the donotfiretrigger logic
into the trigger, which has some initial support.  For the
moment, we are changing the code to point to a link with the
same name as the service name (which has obvious limitations,
so hopefully a real fix will get done).

I was really hoping there might be another workaround bandaid
though, as I really don't want the "fix" to end up permanent.

My guess is that you "inherited" an environment
where the DB-Link was setup that way [link-name different
from DB-name] . and then, sometime later,
you set GLOBAL_NAMES=TRUE

Well you have no choice :
"// *Action: create a database link with the same name as the database it
> //  connects to, or set global_names=false."

Are you setting up Advanced Replication [MultiMaster]
or Simple Replication [Snapshots] ?  I believe that
Simple Replication does not mandate GLOBAL_NAMES=TRUE.

Re: ORA-2085

2002-05-21 Thread Tim Gorman

I think that this is one of the few Oracle error messages where the
suggested "action" truly represents the solution.  Far more helpful than
"Contact your Oracle Representative"...  :-)

This might be a long shot, however...

SQL> create synonym "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" for sys.dual;

Synonym created.

SQL> select count(*) from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";

  COUNT(*)
--
 1

SQL> select count(*) from [EMAIL PROTECTED];
select count(*) from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found

Naturally, you would not make the synonym reference SYS.DUAL, but
DUAL@ instead, to avoid the ORA-02085 error and keep GLOBAL_NAMES
enabled...

Of course, this might mean changes to the application if you have to add
quotation marks around each reference to a table or view, which is what I
imagine you are trying to avoid.  However, you might be in luck if this
application is accessing Oracle via Oracle's own ODBC drivers.  By a stroke
of luck, the Oracle ODBC drivers (downloadable from "otn.oracle.com") tend
to wrap the names of all objects within quotation marks, at least in my
limited experience...

Hey, it might be worth a look-see.  Sometimes you just get lucky...

ORA-2085

2002-05-21 Thread John Weatherman

Hi all.

I have recently had to enable global_names in order to set up a 
replicated environment.  The application uses a database link to 
reconnect to the database under a differant user id (I inheirited 
this, I had nothing to do with the design!).  Appearantly, 
global_names has a prblem with this...

SQL>  select * from [EMAIL PROTECTED];
select * from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02085: database link DONOT_TRIGGER.WORLD connects to DRL2.WORLD

SQL> !oerr ORA 2085
02085, 0, "database link %s connects to %s"
// *Cause: a database link connected to a database with a different name.
//  The connection is rejected.
// *Action: create a database link with the same name as the database it
//  connects to, or set global_names=false.

So, does anybody have any work arounds or ideas how I can get this
thing working again?

TIA,
