RE: Moving projects from development/test to production

2003-10-31 Thread DENNIS WILLIAMS

   I don't think this is off-topic, but something that many of us Oracle
DBAs wrestle with.
   If you kept John Kanagaraj's posting yesterday on the DBA Support
Database topic, it contains the "big picture". If you didn't keep it, email
me privately and I'll send it. I believe he is referring to the ITIL
standards body.  There is probably an ITIL user group near you or a company
that gives talks from time to time. That is the easiest way to get an
overview of ITIL. Our organization is "evolving" in that direction. Overall,
this is a long-term commitment by your organization. You don't change
everything overnight.
   One immediate change you can implement is a "staging" system. Most of us
currently have a test or development system. Staging is an exact copy of
production in all respects. From the database side, cloning the database or
using RMAN DUPLICATE works very well. Then the development team makes a
release to you. Ideally this is on a CD-ROM labeled 1.1 or whatever. You
take the CD-ROM and instructions and apply the changes to the staging
server. Then the staging system is tested. If it is deemed satisfactory,
then you schedule a time and make the changes on production. If it fails the
testing or you are unable to apply the changes, then it gets bounced back to
the development group. The release may include application or web server
changes that must be coordinated with database changes. This is a small
change, but it has helped our releases.

Hi!

A somewhat off-topic question this time.

I am put in charge of defining the procedure of moving projects from
test/development into the production environment. This is to be seen from
the entire IT-perspective (i.e. not just databases, but also Unix, Oracle
and SAN). I.e. we should come up with check-lists and the like; although
having an eye on quality assurance...

We urgently need to set procedures up for that since the last time this was
a nightmare...

Did anybody out there work on a similar project? What are the procedures
that you are following?

Any input would be appreciated.

This is 9.2 on HP-UX 11.

Thanks,
Helmut

RE: Moving projects from development/test to production

2003-10-31 Thread John Kanagaraj
Dennis,

You guessed correctly that this is ITIL based. I completed a Foundation
certificate in ITIL way back in '96 when it was still UK based more than
what it is now. The principles still stand, and the organization I worked
for implemented some kind of CMDB. Unfortunately, they got into very low
level details for the Cis and the project became too big to get off the
ground One needs to find a balance. OTOH, the tools to help implement
ITIL have come a long way since and I mentioned some good ones (at least
ones that I have seen).

Most of ITIL is just common-sense distilled into a framework for IT
processes that define what an IT organization needs to get things done
properly. However, in my limited understanding, the IT scene and
organizations changes direction and in leadership so rapidly that one needs
an evolving plan (to say the least).

anyone take the 8i performance tuning ocp test?

2003-11-12 Thread ryan_oracle
Im reading the Sybex OCP book on tuning and it is absolutely loaded with inaccuracies. 
Is the test the same way? If so do they improve it in 9i? 

The book is loaded with all types of hit ratios, discussions about committing 
frequently to IMPROVE performance, and other garbage. 

anyone know the guys who wrote this book? I dont want to write their names. Did they 
just write it to the test?

Snapshot too old during stress test... how to avoid

2003-06-04 Thread rgaffuri
Im testing worst case scenarios right now. So Im doing batch updates,inserts,deletes 
and 'create table as' from a staging tablespace of approximately 5GBs to a master 
tablespace of approximately 11GBs.

Ive got my job queue processes set to 36 and Im running 36 at a time in the background 
in order to gather statistics and timing under worst case scenarios. 

Im in 8.1.7.3 and I have increased the size of my RBS tablespace to 11GB for this 
test. I have 4 standard RBS with optimal size set to 1GB. Why would I get a snapshot 
too old? I would think that 11GBs of rollback would be big enough. Would increasing 
the number of Rollback segments avoid this even though I have the same amount of space 
in the tablespace? 

In reality Im going to seriallize the process to avoid this and to improve 
performance, however, I want to stress the system.

any advice?

RE: anyone take the 8i performance tuning ocp test?

2003-11-12 Thread DENNIS WILLIAMS
Ryan - I took the 8i OCP for Tuning. I used Couchman to study with, and
don't recall any big differences with the exam. The exam is prepared from
the Oracle Education Student Guide for Oracle 8i. That would have been a
couple of years ago, and if Oracle Education was teaching hit ratios back
then, then you better know the answers on the exam. I thought Cary put it
best in quoting his father: "There is the right answer and the answer the
teacher expects, and I expect you to know them both". When I took the 9i
version of the Oracle Tuning class, they were in the process of shifting
away from hit ratios. I expect by the time 10g rolls around Cary's book will
have had a deep impact on Oracle Education.

I'm studying for the 9i Performance Tuning exam, too. I'm glad to hear about
the inaccuracies in this book. I have this book and the Oracle Press book by
Pack. I also have Oracle Online Learning and I think I will stick more
closely to that. Also, hopefully the Self Test Software gives a good
indication of the type of questions on the exam, or the focus of them.

would be useful, as import drops package bodies when there are invalid db links 
in packages.
 
Short 
of testing them manually one by one, I don't know of one.  Import must be 
doing it though, when it tries to compile packages.

Bitmap vs btree - how to tell? how to test?

2002-05-24 Thread Jack Silvey

Listers,

We are creating indexes on a 300m row fact table
today. I am researching bitmap versus btree (again) to
see where the latest info points. 

Anyone care to comment on the way to determine whether
an index should be a btree or a bitmap? Anyone even
know a good way to test this?

thx,

/jack

Brijesh,

Even though OPTIMIZER_MODE=RULE, the CBO will be used
in the presence of other features (e.g. partitioning,
degree of parallelism, etc...).

In this case TEST is getting a better plan because the
CBO is being used.  You can tell this from several
features in the explain plan:
   1.  Cost = 169
   Only the CBO calculates costs.
   2.  Only the CBO uses hash joins.

The first thing I'd check is the degree of parallelism
on the tables AND indexes.  In 8.0.5 and 8.1.5 the CBO
is used when the indexes have a degree of parallelism
 > 1 even if the tables don't (see note: 70008.1).

If you follow the flow chart in Note: 66484.1 "Which
Optimizer is Used ?"  (looks best if you click on the
"fixed font" above the heading for the note) you
should find what's causing the CBO to be used on Test.

HTH,

Title: RE: Explain Plan different on TEST and PRODUCTION instance





Thanks Anita,
    It was the degree of parallelism that was creating the problem.
I was just checking the degree column of the dba_indexes to set the parallelism
, which was 1 but the INSTANCES column was set to DEFAULT.

Re: How to test for all digits in string

2001-04-27 Thread Bill Pribyl

Here are three slightly different versions of what you might be looking for.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION isnum (thestring IN VARCHAR2)
   RETURN BOOLEAN
IS
   holder NUMBER;
BEGIN
   holder := TO_NUMBER(thestring);
   RETURN TRUE;
EXCEPTION
   WHEN OTHERS
   THEN
  RETURN FALSE;
END;
/

That is callable from PL/SQL, not SQL.  For SQL use, you would return a number
or a string indicating whether it is successful.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION isnum (thestring IN VARCHAR2)
   RETURN NUMBER
IS
   holder NUMBER;
BEGIN
   holder := TO_NUMBER(thestring);
   RETURN 1;  -- pseudo-true
EXCEPTION
   WHEN OTHERS
   THEN
  RETURN 0;  -- pseudo false
END;
/

However, the following might be slightly better, depending on the application.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION toNumIfPossible (thestring IN VARCHAR2)
   RETURN NUMBER
IS
BEGIN
   RETURN TO_NUMBER(thestring);
EXCEPTION
   WHEN OTHERS
   THEN
  RETURN NULL;
END;
/

Cheers
Bill

Speaking of this trick with a txn in each RBS, I've got a shell script on my
website (http://www.evdbt.com/tools.htm) that does just that.  It is named
"prevent1555.sh" which uses a stored procedure created by a SQL script named
"prevent1555_ddl.sql"...

As Jared mentioned, it is kind of a last resort, but it works...

  .. and if it still doesn't work, use the trick of putting a transaction
in
each of the rollback segments while the system is otherwise quiesced,
and *do not* commit or rollback the transactions.

This forces the rollbacks to extend if necessary, they will never wrap
back to the first extent ( actually the second) as long as those
transactions
are not committed.

It just uses a lot of disk space.  Disk is cheap, right?  :)

Consider offlining all your production RBS and creating temporary ones
that you can easily drop later.

I've used it with SAP client copies, which will not run to completion
without
doing this, at least on our system.

Try removing optimal setting, and shrinking RBS to the min extents (or
even below) before running
your tests.

Subject:Snapshot too old during stress test... how to

  
  avoid
  
  

Im testing worst case scenarios right now. So Im doing batch
updates,inserts,deletes and 'create table as' from a staging tablespace

  
  of 
  
  
approximately 5GBs to a master tablespace of approximately 11GBs.

Ive got my job queue processes set to 36 and Im running 36 at a time in
the background in order to gather statistics and timing under worst case

  
  
scenarios. 

Im in 8.1.7.3 and I have increased the size of my RBS tablespace to 11GB

  
  
for this test. I have 4 standard RBS with optimal size set to 1GB. Why
would I get a snapshot too old? I would think that 11GBs of rollback

  
  would 
  
  
be big enough. Would increasing the number of Rollback segments avoid

  
  this 
  
  
even though I have the same amount of space in the tablespace?

In reality Im going to seriallize the process to avoid this and to

  
  improve 
  
  
performance, however, I want to stress the system.

any advice?

Re: Snapshot too old during stress test... how to avoid

2003-06-06 Thread Daniel W. Fink
The rbs does not shrink to optimal when the transaction commits. The 2nd 
transaction to 'find' that the rbs has extended beyond optimal will 
cause the rbs to shrink.

With optimal, the rollback segment shrinks back to its optimal size as soon
as the update, insert, or delete transaction is committed.  However, there
may be a long running query that is using that rollback segment for a
consistent view of the database.  If the rollback segment shrinks, the
query cannot find the data that it needs.  This results in a snapshot too
old error.

Re: Snapshot too old during stress test... how to avoid

Is the error only occurring when you do the create table as select? Are 
any other processes modifying data in the source table?
What is the db_block_size?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

nope. My process is rather simple. 

A flag comes in... either we do a create table as, drop the old table, and create the indexes based on the data in the stage tablespace

or, we do
insert select
Commit;
update 
commit;
delete
commit;

The snapshot too old is occurring during the process of create table as, all the data is getting created in the new table, then Im getting a snapshot too old. I didnt have error handling there to know EXACTLY when its happening, but right after I do the create table as, I have a query of the data dictionary, then I drop the old table. The old table is not being dropped and the new table is being created. 

Im at a loss.

Subject:Snapshot too old during stress test... how to avoid


Im testing worst case scenarios right now. So Im doing batch 
updates,inserts,deletes and 'create table as' from a staging tablespace of 
approximately 5GBs to a master tablespace of approximately 11GBs.

Ive got my job queue processes set to 36 and Im running 36 at a time in 
the background in order to gather statistics and timing under worst case 
scenarios. 

Im in 8.1.7.3 and I have increased the size of my RBS tablespace to 11GB 
for this test. I have 4 standard RBS with optimal size set to 1GB. Why 
would I get a snapshot too old? I would think that 11GBs of rollback would 
be big enough. Would increasing the number of Rollback segments avoid this 
even though I have the same amount of space in the tablespace? 

In reality Im going to seriallize the process to avoid this and to improve 
performance, however, I want to stress the system.

any advice?

Try removing optimal setting, and shrinking RBS to the min extents (or even below) 
before running
your tests.

Re: Snapshot too old during stress test... how to avoid

2003-06-05 Thread Jared . Still
... and if it still doesn't work, use the trick of putting a transaction 
in
each of the rollback segments while the system is otherwise quiesced,
and *do not* commit or rollback the transactions.

This forces the rollbacks to extend if necessary, they will never wrap
back to the first extent ( actually the second) as long as those 
transactions
are not committed.

It just uses a lot of disk space.  Disk is cheap, right?  :) 

Consider offlining all your production RBS and creating temporary ones
that you can easily drop later.

I've used it with SAP client copies, which will not run to completion 
without
doing this, at least on our system.

Re: Snapshot too old during stress test... how to avoid

2003-06-05 Thread Tim Gorman
Speaking of this trick with a txn in each RBS, I've got a shell script on my
website (http://www.evdbt.com/tools.htm) that does just that.  It is named
"prevent1555.sh" which uses a stored procedure created by a SQL script named
"prevent1555_ddl.sql"...

As Jared mentioned, it is kind of a last resort, but it works...

how do I test a restore of a raw device?

2003-07-15 Thread Gurelei
Hi all:

I'm testing a restore of a database file (tools TS).
The datafile is a raw device and I have link to that
raw evice in my links directory. I"m running Oracle
9203 and UNIX 5l. And the problem I ran into is as
follows. If I drop the logical link , the rman
restores
the data as a datafile. If I remove the link and
recreate it pointing to another raw device, the
restore
fails bacause the file exist. How do I force rman
to restore the data in the raw device form? IS there a
way to do it?

thanks

Re: Bitmap vs btree - how to tell? how to test?

2002-05-25 Thread Rachel Carmichael

low cardinality -- good candidate for bitmap. little or no updates to
the column being indexed -- good candidate for bitmap

"low" cardinality is relative -- 10,000 distinct values in a 300m row
table is low, 100 distinct values in a 10K row table might be high

but the main criteria I have found is whether or not the column is
updated because when you update the values in a bitmap index, it's not
just the one row in the index that is updated but the entire segment of
the bitmap. And THAT can lock the index on you.

Well, it doesn't exactly lock the whole index, it locks only the rows 
that
have the same bitmap value as the row that is being updated. For a low 
cardinality
column, that may mean locking down a significant portion of the index 
(and the underlying
table, of course). That makes bitmap indexes (and indices) completely 
unsuitable
for the OLTP environment.

RE: OCP Test on Oracle 8i New features Upgrade : study

2002-03-12 Thread Ron Rogers

Robert,
 Shame on you for the "plug". Did you ask Ashoke to post the message so
there could be some saving grace distributed for the 9i upgrade
shortcomings?.
   Yes, I have the book and find it very informative. It is nice to
know that there is an 8i to 9i upgrade book available. I have not see it
in my local bookstore yet, of course my locat bookstore has not replace
the copy of Oracle Perfomace Tuning 101 yet either. I don't think I will
need it for a while because we are not scheduled to upgrade until late
2003.
   Ashoke, the information needed to assist in upgrading your OCP from
8 to 8i is in the book and on other documentation. Read and understand
the source information and practice on a database. When you are
confident with your knowledge review the information and schedule the
exam. Remember, the exam is not A, or B, or C, or D the answers will
test your conceptual knowledge and the answers will most likely be A,B,
and D.

Ron,

I have one DBA lined up to ask that same question for the next 6 months for
that 
very purpose. I have an opening on September 27th, would you like to take
it??

My personal rule is that I don't just fashion a message that will
shamelessly plug
my book, in and of itself. For example I would never post a message here
that says:

Hey buy my Oracle9i New Features book by Oracle Press and my Mastering
Oracle8i book
by Sybex and also buy my Oracle 8 to 8i Upgrade Exam Cram book by Coriolis
and finally
you can also get my Oracle 7.3 to 8 Upgrade Exam Cram book by Coriolis as
well

I'd never do a shameless plug like that, ever.

But to help someone, well then I will gladly offer the services of my hard
work.

And I've said it before and I'll say it again, to anyone, if you don't like
the book
after you buy it, please return it and get your money back. If you like it,
please do
let me know... (and a nice word on Amazon or bookpool is always

2002-03-12 Thread Ron Rogers

Robert,
 Very good response. I guess that is why some people write books and
others read books. I normally don't have time for either but I have
learned lately that you have to make time to keep up with the changes. 
 I have used you book to pass the Oracle 7 to 8 upgrade. The content
was complete and the knowledge learned , along with the Oracle OCP 7
exam book OCP 8 upgrade section, help tremendiously. Using both sources
and an Oracle 8i database,(besides 7.3.4 that's all I have available) I
learned and understood the concepts presented. I was able to acheive a
little over 84 on the score. All of the knowledge needed was presented
some more detailed than others. Now that I look back on the experience
and start moving forward towards my 8i OCP and eventually 9i OCP, I will
study and practice more with the concepts that Oracle uses. Initially
for the OCP 7 exam the answers were testing your knowledge needed for
each test and the tests were "comfortable" and pleasent to take. With
the 8 OCP upgrade I found myself having to dig into the deep trenches of
my mind to understand what they wanted and pick the multiple answers
needed. A real test of your understanding of Oracle concepts. I know the
test has to be short. They can't ask 240 questions and allow 6 hours to
take the test. The test has to do a complimentary job of asking complex
questions about a vast subject.
  I don't know how you find time to write with a full time job. I know
Mike Ault and with his work and seminal schedule I never could figure
out how he wrote his books.
 Thanks again for taking the time to share your knowledge and help the
other DBA's of the world.

Thanks so much. I love what I do. I'm actually taking a break from writing
right now, been at it almost 3 years non-stop, but I have a couple of
ideas that I'm brewing with Oracle Press and one with Sybex. The 
economic times have hit the publishers hard though, and my wife wants
to see more of me. I've been considering picking up my education again,
my Masters is calling me and my kids tell me I need to become Dr. Rob...
so we shall see.

Truth is that I've never felt all that worthy of writing an Oracle book.
Sitting in the shadows of grates like Mike, Jonathan, Marlene, Rachel,
Steve, Kevin, etc...etc... well, it's a great ride, that's all I can say.

oh man, what makes you think *I* feel all that worthy of writing books?
I am constantly aware of just how little I really know about Oracle.

My only consolation seems to be that there are lots of people out there
who don't know all that much either. And some who know less than me,
and THOSE are the ones I try to help

Re: Re: Snapshot too old during stress test... how to avoid

2003-06-06 Thread Thomas Day

With optimal, the rollback segment shrinks back to its optimal size as soon
as the update, insert, or delete transaction is committed.  However, there
may be a long running query that is using that rollback segment for a
consistent view of the database.  If the rollback segment shrinks, the
query cannot find the data that it needs.  This results in a snapshot too
old error.

RE: Re: Snapshot too old during stress test... how to avoid

2003-06-06 Thread rgaffuri
the thing is Im not doing any of that. 

Here is waht Im doing.

update,inserts and deletes on tables
select on data dictionary.
Im also doing 'create table as'

Transactions do NOT overlap. for example update,insert,and delete will not use the 
same tables in different transactions. 

and Im not updating the data dictionary.

Snapshot Too Old Maybe caused bcos of Delayed Block Cleanout Problems.
Now this Bock was updated an Hour ago and u are now selecting it.. It
finds that there are ITL Entries in there and oracle wants to see if the
Transaction has been commited. 

He Goes back to the Transaction Table of the RBS Pointed by this ITL and
he finds that there is No Rollback entry available.. Why is this ??? The
Optimal Parameter Shrunk the RBS Down and with it all the Undo
Information needed to do a Block Clean out.

the thing is Im not doing any of that. 

Here is waht Im doing.

update,inserts and deletes on tables
select on data dictionary.
Im also doing 'create table as'

Transactions do NOT overlap. for example update,insert,and delete will
not use the same tables in different transactions. 

and Im not updating the data dictionary.

With optimal, the rollback segment shrinks back to its optimal size as
soon as the update, insert, or delete transaction is committed.
However, there may be a long running query that is using that rollback
segment for a consistent view of the database.  If the rollback segment
shrinks, the query cannot find the data that it needs.  This results in
a snapshot too old error.

why would removing optimal setting help with snapshot too old?

what I dont understand is that each of my DML transactions are
independent of each other. They query and perform DML on different
tables. None of them overlap. The only time they overlap is when they
hit the data dictionary for some brief queries.

Re: Re: Snapshot too old during stress test... how to avoid

2003-06-06 Thread rgaffuri
nope. My process is rather simple. 

A flag comes in... either we do a create table as, drop the old table, and create the 
indexes based on the data in the stage tablespace

or, we do
insert select
Commit;
update 
commit;
delete
commit;

The snapshot too old is occuring during the process of create table as, all the data 
is getting created in the new table, then Im getting a snapshot too old. I didnt have 
error handling there to know EXACTLY when its happening, but right after I do the 
create table as, I have a query of the data dictionary, then I drop the old table. The 
old table is not being dropped and the new table is being created. 

Im at a loss.

RE: Re: Snapshot too old during stress test... how to avoid

2003-06-06 Thread Lord, David - CSG
It could be that your own process is causing the error by committing between
DML operations.  Take a look at metalink note 40689.1.  My hazy
understanding of which is as follows: -

When you change a block in the buffer cache, a pointer to the rollback entry
is placed in the block header.  When the transaction is committed, the
rollback entry is freed, but the buffer is not updated to reflect this.
When the block is revisited, the process must find the rollback entry to
determine whether the transaction has been committed or not.  If the entry
has been overwritten, then you get snapshot too old.

The answer is not to commit between the insert select, update and delete, or
alternatively, to force the block cleanout by doing a full scan of the table
(for instance by doing a select count(*) from my_table) after each commit.

David Lord

Where are the scripts located to create the SCOTT test objects?

2003-01-21 Thread Cherie_Machler

I have a user that is using the SCOTT test tables on one of our dev
databases.   He is apparently missing the DEPT table.

Where are the scripts that create the SCOTT tables?   I tried looking
through the on-line documentation and Metalink to no avail.   Can anyone
point me in the right direction?

I have a user that is using the SCOTT test tables on one of our dev
databases.   He is apparently missing the DEPT table.

Where are the scripts that create the SCOTT tables?   I tried looking
through the on-line documentation and Metalink to no avail.   Can anyone
point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

We just used it with great success to test our new
analyze strategy. You can label each set of stats, and
quickly switch between different analyze levels. Store
your old stats first and you can always fall back if
necessary.

Re: Exporting stats for a production server to a dev/test server

Jack,

Were your old statistics generated with the ANALYZE command?   If yes, were
you able to export ALL of the old statistics with the export option of
DBMS_STATS before you actually analyzed with DBMS_STATS for the first time?
If yes, after exporting them, did you delete the old statistics using the
delete option of ANALYZE command before gathering new statistics using
DBMS_STATS?

Re: Exporting stats for a production server to a dev/test server

2002-07-08 Thread Jack Silvey

Cherie,

Great name.

Our initial stats were generated with the ANALYZE
command. We did export all the stats with the
dbms_stats - one parameter of the GATHER_TABLE_STATS
procedure is CASCADE, which picks up the index and
column stats too. Please test first on your own system
to make sure this is true for your version and setup.

We did not delete the stats before doing the new, what
we did was this:

1) export the old stats
2) analyze using a new sample, cascade, with histos
3) export the new stats (with a new label)
4) test, reimport the old and new stats as necessary

Do this quick test to show yourself what it can do:

a) create table tester.statstest as select * from
dba_tables;
b) create index tester.statstestidx on
statstest(table_name);
c) analyze table tester.statstest estimate statistics
sample 1 percent for table for all indexes for all
columns size 254;
d) create the stats holding table in the tester schema
using
DBMS_STATS.CREATE_STAT_TABLE('tester','stats','tsuser01')
e) export the stats using
DBMS_STATS.EXPORT_TABLE_STATS('tester','statstest',null,'stats','1pcttest',true,null);
f) select * from tester.stats to see what is stored
g) analyze table tester.statstest delete statistics;
h) import the stats using
DBMS_STATS.IMPORT_TABLE_STATS('tester','statstest',null,'stats','1pcttest',true,null);
i) select * from dba_tables, dba_indexes,
dba_tab_histograms to see what was imported

You can store multiple versions of stats for the same
table with different lables ('1pctest' in the example)
but if you try to store stats with the same label it
will overwrite.

We did have some data dictionary locking issues trying
to import multiple partitions of the same table at the
same time, but our db has suspect dd issues anyway, so
this might just be a feature of our system.

hth,

Jack

QDBA has been banished from my test server (was RE: 8.1.6 upgrade )

2001-02-28 Thread Boivin, Patrice J

Well, that was gruesome.

I couldn't log in as QDBA, so forget about using dbms_job.

I ended up revoking CONNECT, RESOURCE, and every other role it had.

Then I did a shutdown abort, startup restrict.

QDBA's job was still listed.

I took the risk of issuing a DELETE statement against dba_jobs, and against
the job$ view.  I don't know if that did anything useful but at least there
were no rows returned.

I granted connect, resource back to qdba.

I bounced the database again.

Then I managed to log in as QDBA, and as that user I manually (well, using
SQL scripts) dropped all of this user's objects.

Then I logged in as SYSTEM and I quite enjoyed deleting this beast from my
test machine.

Obviously when you issue a DROP USER command, Oracle doesn't do anything to
clean up that user's jobs - it just hangs.

Live and learn, now I know what to do if this happens again - use a liberal
does of REVOKE statements, GRANT again, then log on as that user.  Drop
everything that user owns manually, because DROP USER is too lazy to do it.
Once you have done DROP USER's job for it, you can issue the DROP USER
command.

Strangely it still took 8i at least ten seconds to drop the user, even
though it didn't own anything.

How to test whether a text file exists in Dev6i on client machine

2003-07-18 Thread Baswannappa, Shiva



Hi 
Gurus
 
I need to test 
whether a text file 'a.txt' exists in the default oracle reports directory on 
client machine and print at the end of the report? I can use text_io but I don't 
seem to see a test for file existence. 
 
Appreciate any help. 
Have a great weekend.

Jared,

Has Bruce seen this issue?

Looks like attached binary files that have their file
extension changed to ".sql" will not be caught by the list's
