Re: Oracle Version 8 as read only
Hi Tims ideas are good but also take a cold backup of the database before the read only period starts so that even if someone manages to alter data it can be restored back to its previous state. By the way when you say read only does that apply to batch processes and general system ageing? - if so you need to ensure you back up after each batch run so it can be restored to a fixed position if someone manages to change anything. always remember least privilege principle!! hope this helps kind regards Pete -- Pete Finnigan email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web site: http://www.petefinnigan.com - Oracle security audit specialists Book:Oracle security step-by-step Guide - see http://store.sans.org for details. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Pete Finnigan INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California-- Mailing list and web hosting services - To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

Oracle Version 8 as read only
We are in the process of upgrading our peoplesoft app, using an oracle database of 8.0.5 to 9i. During the upgrade we still need access to the old 8.0.5 database as readonly.

Re: Oracle Version 8 as read only
You can't. Even if you were to set all possible tablespaces to READ ONLY, you'll find that it doesn't prevent folks from dropping objects. All you can do is restrict people to schemas/accounts which do not own any objects and do not have permissions to create any. That way, you can restrict them to CREATE SESSION, ALTER SESSION, and SELECT permissions only. on 11/26/03 4:44 PM, Browett, Darren at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We are in the process of upgrading our peoplesoft app, using an oracle database of 8.0.5 to 9i.

Re: Oracle version??
In the registry My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\inst_loc specifies the location of the inventory folder (defaults to C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory). Note: some Oracle patches do replace oracle.exe without using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) so the inventory would have no record of the patch (e.g. 8.1.7.4.6).

RE: Oracle version??
Hi Chip, I am talking of log directory(N:\Oracle\Inventory\logs and not N:\Oracle\Inventory\components), where every Installer action is logged and not . This doesn't matter whether your Oracle.exe is replaced or not. All of your OUI actions will be logged with all the relevant information and typically the file names are of following format. installActions2003-01-21_12-01-02PM.log So if you put little extra effort digging these files (depending on size, timestamp etc.) you can find out what is last activity you performed on what ORACLE_HOME and so the precise patch level is also available there... And that YP-ZP I mean XP, I would really hate to see a Oracle Database on that ;-)...

Re: Oracle version??
My inventory logs (19 files, 16.6 MB) do have a verbose record of OUI actions. Note: all the installation logs can be deleted to clean up space. Also, the inventory logs only record OUI actions. The Oracle 8.1.7.4.6 patch installation does not use OUI (the DBA manually copies many files into the Oracle Home), which does cause a mismatch between the inventory version and the actual version installed. On the OUI opening screen, the "Installed Products..." button can be used to display the current inventory. Thus, I was looking in the inventory folder trying to guess what OUI is using. Looking again, I found some more interesting folders: N:\Oracle\Inventory\PatchSets\oracle.server\8.1.7.4.1\1\resources N:\Oracle\Inventory\PatchSets\oracle.server\9.0.1.4.0\1\resources N:\Oracle\Inventory\PatchSets\oracle.server\9.2.0.2.1\1\resources The inventory folders does provide a way to quickly get an idea of the oracle server version(s) installed by OUI. Use the inst_loc registry key to find the inventory location, then look for "oracle.server" within "Components" and "PatchSets"; the included folders have the version numbers.

Note: some Oracle patches do replace oracle.exe without using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) so the inventory would have no record of the patch (e.g. 8.1.7.4.6). Inside the inventory folder, "Components" and "Patches" have folders for components installed by OUI. For example, my inventory folder contains these folders: N:\Oracle\Inventory\Components\oracle.server\8.1.7.0.0\1\resources N:\Oracle\Inventory\Components\oracle.server\9.0.1.1.1\1\resources N:\Oracle\Inventory\Components\oracle.server\9.2.0.1.0\1\resources N:\Oracle\Inventory\Patches\oracle.rdbms\8.1.7.4.1\1\resources N:\Oracle\Inventory\Patches\oracle.rdbms\9.0.1.4.0\1\resources N:\Oracle\Inventory\Patches\oracle.rdbms\9.2.0.2.1\1\resources Note: the version numbers (folder names) do match my OUI installation of Oracle servers and patches.

RE: Oracle version??
I just plugged through a $ strings oracle to see if the version information is in there anyplace. On an 8.1.7 kernel, I was surprised to find that version numbers all the way from 8.0.0 through 8.2.0 show up in the file. The string I was really looking for was Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release %d.%d.%d.%d.%d %s--the release number is stored in five separate variables, which are printed through this printf format string... However, there are a couple of tricks you might engage. I just did this on my Linux system and found what version my kernel *thinks* it is: $ strace -s100 oracle 21 | grep Oracle.*Release This strace command catches the kernel's write() call of the release number into a background trace file. You could also look at the background trace files if you wanted to conserve the overhead of invoking the oracle executable. The thing exit()s, so I think it's safe to run it this way, but you probably don't want the side effects of extra trace file writing, etc. I think peeking into the trace file is a possible solution for you, but then I'd take the wise advice of people of those on the list who might be able to prove that the kernel can actually lie about its own release number...

Re: Re: same sql: different db block gets in different oracle version
Jonathan Lewis, Thanks very much for your reply. Yes, in oracle 8i on sun solaris, the db block gets of fulltable scan is always 4block, no matter what the size of the table is. But in my tests in linux/817, it always show 12(8170 and 8172).I run the full scan again and again, but the value does not change. And another problem is why in oracle9i, there is no db_block_gets when doing full segment scan.I checked asktom.oracle.com, but unable to find the answer. And i also tested 9.0.1 on sun solaris , when very small, db_block_gets is 6,while larger tables(12K records from dba_tables), db_block_gets is 12. Scanning the segment header caused the current mode read,is it because of scanning the buffer pool head and getting the cache buffer chains latch in exclusive mode,and the buffer head will be moved the other end lru list? why scanning the other data block does not cause the current read?

Re: same sql: different db block gets in different oracle version
Cho, This is not unusual. I suspect your db_cache_size (or db_block_buffers) in 9.2 is more than db_block_buffers in 8.1. When you do a FTS, all the blocks are loaded into the buffers first time so 'db block gets' is a non zero value (it's the physical IO). The next time you do this, the blocks are found in the buffer already, so there is no physical IO, hence a zero value for 'db block gets'. However, your logical reads (consistent gets) should be the same and they are the same. In 817, run the query once again and see the 'db block gets' , it should be 0. If not then check if db_block_buffers is less than db_cache_size (or db_block_buffers) in 9.2. HTH.

Re: Re: same sql: different db block gets in different oracle version
One reason for seeing more db_block_gets than you expect on a full segment scan is that every extent map block (of which the segment header block is just one) is accessed differently. If you have small extents and large objects, you may have overshoot the maximum extents allowed in the segment header block - so the 12 db_block_gets could indicate 2 extra map blocks. NOTE - Oracle 9 simply does not do 4 CU gets on map blocks. 8.14 CU gets per map block 9.22 CR gets per map block 9.02 gets, but can't remember if they are CU or CR Also - bigger tables = more map blocks may have been used Regards Jonathan Lewis http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk Coming soon a new one-day tutorial: Cost Based Optimisation (see http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/tutorial.html ) Next Seminar dates: (see http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/seminar.html ) England__January 21/23 USA_(CA, TX)_August The Co-operative Oracle Users' FAQ http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/ind_faq.html -Original Message- To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 22 January 2003 15:47 version Jonathan Lewis, Thanks very much for your reply.

There are couple of methods to determine it. One is when you login as sqlplus, it will show the word 64 bit in the banner.

RE: Oracle Version on Unix
If you are using the manual upgrade method, then you can go from 32-bit 8.1.7 to 64-bit 9.2.0.1 directly. Don't quote me though, because all the documentation I have seen says that you have to first go from 32-bit 8.1.7 to 32-bit 9.2.0.1 and then to 64-bit 9.2.0.1. I think Oracle is just being extra cautious here. I have recently upgraded (manual upgrade) a dev database from 32-bit 8.1.7 to 64-bit 9.2.0.1 (directly) and so far have not seen anything unusual.

Oracle Version Numbers Explained
There was some discussion recently (in the thread on Apache and iAS) on version numbers of Oracle and how confusing they have become. Here is a document that explains the version numbers, at least for the RDBMS. It lost it's authorship along the way, so forgive me for not crediting it. If you have ever wondered what an Oracle release number really means; included below is the break down and how to find out what you are running via a query against a Data Dictionary view. It has changed a little starting with Release 9.2. For the Release number: 9.2.0.1.0 , the significance of each number (reading from left to right) is shown below: Number Significance__ 9 1 Major database release number 2 1 Database maintenance release number 0 1 Application server release number 1 1Component specific release number 0 1Platform specific release number ( Starting with release 9.2, maintenance releases of Oracle are denoted by a change to the second digit of a release number. In previous releases, the third digit indicated a particular maintenance release.) Major Database Release Number This is the most general identifier. It represents a major new edition (or version) of the software that contains significant new functionality. Database Maintenance Release Number This digit represents a maintenance release level. Some new features may also be included. Application Server Release Number This digit reflects the release level of the Oracle9i Application Server (Oracle9iAS). Component Specific Release Number This digit identifies a release level specific to a component. Different components can have different numbers in this position depending upon, for example, component patch sets or interim releases. Platform Specific Release Number This digit identifies a platform specific release. Usually this is a patch set. Where different platforms require the equivalent patch set, this digit will be the same across the effected platforms. How to Check Your Current Release Number: To identify the release of the Oracle database server that is currently installed and to see the release levels of other Oracle components you are using, query the Data Dictionary view PRODUCT_COMPONENT_VERSION. Here is a sample query. (Yes, the old instructor part of me wants your Sql*Plus session to be readable, so included are 3 Sql*Plus commands before the query since each of these column widths are 65.:-) ) COL PRODUCT FORMAT A40 COL VERSIONFORMAT A15 COL STATUS FORMAT A15 SELECT * FROM PRODUCT_COMPONENT_VERSION; PRODUCTVERSION STATUS --- --- NLSRTL 9.2.0.1.0 Production Oracle9i Enterprise Edition 9.2.0.1.0 Production PL/SQL 9.2.0.1.0 Production TNS for Solaris: 9.2.0.1.0 Production Optionally, you can query against the V$VERSION view to see component-level information as well. (Other product release levels may increment independently of the database server.)

Oracle Version for New Database
All, I am trying to decide on a version of Oracle for a new database that will hold a number of small apps, mainly web apps using apache web server. Last time I set up a database I used 8.1.6.2.1 (this is Solaris 2.6 BTW) and I had no end of problems with incremental snapshots causing "waited too long for row cache enque lock" in the alert log file which I believe is now a known problem with simple replication in this version. Does anyone know if the problem is fixed in a more recent version? What would be a good choice for a new database to hopefully provide both a stable RDBMS as well as access to new features etc?
