Re: Oracle 11i
Tanel, A nice tip. Atleast can be set on test system for first run of upgrade. Regards Rafiq Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2003 08:29:23 -0800 RE: Oracle 11iHeh-heh, imagine you're migrating from 10.7, where you have additional few tens of thousands AutoUpgrade scripts as well... Btw, I have sometimes used the unsupported _wait_for_sync=false parameter to speed up commits when doing upgrades or extensive patching. You've probably looked into some of those 7 scripts and seen a lot of DDL (altering tables, adding comments etc..). And every DDL requires at least one commit, some even more. Thus if you see lots of log file sync waits for your AutoPatch sessions you could reduce database patching downtime noticeably using this parameter (the same goes for object recompilation). But as soon your instance crashes you should restore from backup, so this is the downside.. Actually, I'm not recommending anyone to use this parameter, just want to say, sometimes I have reduced Apps patching and upgrade downtime several to many hours using this ;) Tanel. From: Hately, Mike (LogicaCMG) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Ha! Tell me about it. I'm at the tail end of an upgrade. Just applying the unified driver to bring all of the products bang up to date.

it will show production databse name in v$database

You might get some surprising results from SELECT ORA_DATABASE_NAME FROM

lists the Prod. DB name with that query. Where is it reading the name from?
You can see that other queries produce the correct name.

Hi!
I think you should focus on why you do have bad performance/CBO decisions
when all tables have been analyzed. Finding most expensive operations
(v$sql, 10046 trace, tkprof) - comparing their execution plans with
different statistics (tkprof, explain plan, v$sql_plan in 9i) - finding the
reasons behing bad CBO decisions (10053 trace).
But if you really want to search for hints, then you should search for
'%/*+%' in v$sql during normal database usage time (not v$sqlarea, because
it's access is more CPU resource hungry). DBA_SOURCE provides you
information about stored pl/sql only and you can't search wrapped code.
Tanel.

RE: DBMS_STATS and CBO
Tom, Your observation on which platform? On HPUX 11.0 I think it allocates full given physical size of tempfile at the time of creation and it was 8.1.6.2 when I created it 2 years back. I remember that I created 6 files of 501 MB each and it occupied disk space of 3GB+. Regards Rafiq Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 08:19:40 -0800 Stephen, I had something similar happen to me. In 8i, Temp files are not fully allocated when they get created. So if you create a temp file of 600M, only a small portion gets immediately allocated. The Temp file grows into the full 600M as needed. They did this to speed up the creation of the Temp files. The problem is that if you fill the disk up with other stuff, then the Temp file cannot grow when it wants to, and you get the error you got. Kinda a subtle little gotcha here. I personally don't like it - just because you can get stung with this much later in the life of the database - like you and I did. So, yeah, I think you understand what's happening.

Regards Rafiq Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 07:44:41 -0800 Hello, I am running oracle on Linux as my development server. Somehow, the hard drive crashed last night. When I run fsck on the partition that has the oracle installation and oradata, it always failed with all kind of stuff (Bad/Duplicate block, short read block, etc), so I assume fsck cannot fully recovered my drive. I however can mount it and read some data on in. Then I tried to logon as sysdba and issues startup, and I got the following error. SQL conn /as sysdba Connected to an idle instance. SQL startup ORACLE instance started. Total System Global Area 235999352 bytes Fixed Size 450680 bytes Variable Size 201326592 bytes Database Buffers 33554432 bytes Redo Buffers 667648 bytes ORA-00205: error in identifying controlfile, check alert log for more info My question: is there any hope at all to recover all or partial of the data in the database? Even if I have to redo oracle installation or re-create the tables, that's fine if I can just recover the data. What can I do? Any help on this is greatly appreciated. And no, I don't have backup. This is supposed to be development server and end up becoming a semi production server. And no, we don't have a DBA either, and I'm newbie on that area (I'm supposed to be a web developer). In a way I a sorta hope this incident becomes a lesson for the boss. sigh Thanks a lot for any help. RDB -- Reuben D.

The application is running from an Oracle Forms 6i patch 12 application server on Windows 2000 sp4 and an Oracle 9iR2 database on Solaris9. The problems seem primarily to be caused by dead sessions hanging around on the database server and holding locks on records. Is there anything that can be done about this?

Re: Redos gone crazy--a job for audit?
You can track the sql which is doing DML while redo being generated. Look at v$sqlarea or v$sql. Regards Rafiq Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 09 Oct 2003 09:09:24 -0800 Hi, list. Ya, I'm still alive and kickin'. We have this small database that's running a weird vendor application. (We get all the gems.) It's on Solaris 5.8, Oracle 8.1.7.2 The database suddenly went from kicking out 50 meg redo logs 2 or 3 times a day to churning them out every 15 minutes. The entire database is only about 6 gigs; we now sometimes generate 2 or 3 gigs of redo per day. Even tho this started when a small change was made by the vendor, the vendor is claiming that (ok, hold on to your hats) it was not their change!! I want to know what's in those redo logs. I initially thought about log miner. However, I'm not sure log miner will give me what I want. I tried these 2 audit commands. I'm not seeing much from them. Is there another audit command that might give me better info? There's only 1 user in the database, so I only really need to audit 1 user. audit all by myuser by access; audit update table, insert table, delete table by myuser by access; Is there anything else that will be going to redo that I can capture with audit??

RE: re Rebuilding Indexes in Oracle Apps
John At my location I was not finding those tables without rows so simple truncate was not the easy option. However, from time to time I was truncating them by removing rows into temp type of tables and placing those rows back. However, index rebuilding was more practical under that situation. Truncating gl_interface table was also reducing HWM for better performance.

The rebuilding not only release the space but also reduces the index fragmentation. If you don't have table truncation option for such tables then it is much better to rebuid indexes on such tables at regular interval to release space and for better performance.

RE: re Rebuilding Indexes in Oracle Apps -- was RE: RE: Separate
Jared, Unfortunately at this stage I cannot quantify in numbers as I have left that job 5 months back. But dealing with Oracle Financials 10.7 with version 7.3.4, I observed it practically that this table and it is indexes (i think 4 or 5 indexes) require special attention for performance reasons. At my last employment that table was also used by customized application specially Manufactruring and stock locator application and heavy usage of inserts and deletes. If indexes were not rebuilt on that tablespace then I have seen that users were complaining about slowness of thier jobs. So I made it a maintenance routine to rebuild indexes on gl_interface table after monthly closing. Apart from this, as you cannot change code in Oracle Financials(although I did) , you to deal with indexes either through rebuilding them at regular intervals (may be six moths or a year) or adding new indexes based on your observation of certain codes. One monthly job called ACCRUAL REBUILD RECONCILIATION was passing 36 hours and I have to add 6 indexes on 2 tables and time went down to 1 hour. In certain codes they were suppresing indexes(perfectly indexed columns) resulting 15 mintues to fetch rows and after correcting that code it took less than second. Now another database of Order Entry System. When I joined I observed a lot of performance issues. After consulting with Development team,tracked all those tables with lot of regular deletes and inserts, rebuilt all indexes and got back 5GB of tablespace and performance was at their peak. All those application was based on RULE optimizer so we were not analyzing any table/indexes but based on experience with those applications, I was tracking those tables with large deletes and inserts through application(not data load) and rebuilding indexes with regular interval to keep smooth performance. In my opinion, we always need performance satisfaction of end user instead of numbers. If you have any specific question, please let me know. Regards Rafiq Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2003 22:04:24 -0800 The 'better performance' part is what I would like to see some metrics on.

But dealing with Oracle Financials 10.7 with version 7.3.4, I observed it practically that this table and it is indexes (i think 4 or 5 indexes) require special attention for performance reasons. At my last employment that table was also used by customized application specially Manufactruring and stock locator application and heavy usage of inserts and deletes. If indexes were not rebuilt on that tablespace then I have seen that users were complaining about slowness of thier jobs. So I made it a maintenance routine to rebuild indexes on gl_interface table after monthly closing. Apart from this, as you cannot change code in Oracle Financials(although I did) , you to deal with indexes either through rebuilding them at regular intervals (may be six moths or a year) or adding new indexes based on your observation of certain codes. One monthly job called ACCRUAL REBUILD RECONCILIATION was passing 36 hours and I have to add 6 indexes on 2 tables and time went down to 1 hour. In certain codes they were suppresing indexes(perfectly indexed columns) resulting 15 mintues to fetch rows and after correcting that code it took less than second. Now another database of Order Entry System. When I joined I observed a lot of performance issues. After consulting with Development team,tracked all those tables with lot of regular deletes and inserts, rebuilt all indexes and got back 5GB of tablespace and performance was at their peak. All those application was based on RULE optimizer so we were not analyzing any table/indexes but based on experience with those applications, I was tracking those tables with large deletes and inserts through application(not data load) and rebuilding indexes with regular interval to keep smooth performance. In my opinion, we always need performance satisfaction of end user instead of numbers. If you have any specific question, please let me know.

Deleted Leaf Rows are not reused. Therefore, indexes whose columns are subject to value change must be rebuilt periodically, since they become naturally fragmentated. An index is considered to be 'fragmentated' when more than 20% of its Leaf Rows space is empty because of the implicit deletes caused by indexed columns value changes.

Hi Rafiq, I haven't been receiving all the mail from this list so I don't know the full thread and it doesn't appear a mail I sent a few days ago regarding all this ever made it so I could be wasting my time again. But everytime I see comments as in the above, a voice in my head says do something, do something. So I'll try again. Having lots of deletes and inserts of course doesn't necessarily mean fragmentation. These so-called holes are fully re-usable and in the vast majority of cases results in no substantial issues. Having lots of deletes, inserts and updates rarely requires the index to be rebuilt. Simple little demo for any newbies or those force-fed Oracle myths since child birth ... First of all, create a simple table and index. I've intentionally left a value out in the middle of a range for extra effect. SQL create table bowie_test (ziggy number); Table created. SQL insert into bowie_test values (1); 1 row created. SQL insert into bowie_test values (2); 1 row created. SQL insert into bowie_test values (3); 1 row created. SQL insert into bowie_test values (4); 1 row created. SQL insert into bowie_test values (6); 1 row created. SQL insert into bowie_test values (7); 1 row created. SQL insert into bowie_test values (8); 1 row created. SQL insert into bowie_test values (9); 1 row created. SQL insert into bowie_test values (10); 1 row created. SQL insert into bowie_test values (100); 1 row created. SQL commit; Commit complete. SQL create index bowie_test_idx on bowie_test(ziggy); Index created. Now analyze the index ... SQL analyze index bowie_test_idx validate structure; Index analyzed. and we see that everything is sweet with no wasted deleted space ... SQL select lf_rows, del_lf_rows, del_lf_rows_len from index_stats; LF_ROWS DEL_LF_ROWS DEL_LF_ROWS_LEN -- --- --- 10 0 0 We now delete a number of rows .. SQL delete bowie_test where ziggy in (2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10); 8 rows deleted. SQL commit; Commit complete. And we see that of the 10 leaf rows, 8 are deleted. As Gollum would say nasty wasted spaces it is, gollum .. SQL select lf_rows, del_lf_rows, del_lf_rows_len from index_stats; LF_ROWS DEL_LF_ROWS DEL_LF_ROWS_LEN -- --- --- 10 8 112 However, we now insert a new value (notice it's different from any previous value but obviously belongs in the same leaf node as the others) ... SQL insert into bowie_test values (5); 1 row created. SQL commit; Commit complete. SQL analyze index bowie_test_idx validate structure; Index analyzed. SQL select lf_rows, del_lf_rows, del_lf_rows_len from index_stats; LF_ROWS DEL_LF_ROWS DEL_LF_ROWS_LEN -- --- --- 3 0 0 and we see that *all* the wasted deleted space within the leaf node has been freed and is available for reuse ...

Re: Re: WHERE 1 = 1 (any info on this)
You can find it a lot of codes on oracle finanacials where they used 'index supression' on perfectly indexed columns. I don't know why. That type of index supression spending 15 to 20 minutes and when it was modifed it took less than a second as column was perfectly indexed. Those codes were atleast not modified in version 10.7. There was no concept of function based indexes either as optimizer was rule based(regardless of 8i).

I was on a project earlier this year and one guy told people to use it. Actually, that one is still valid. Along with using any function around a predicate column. In general, an expression instead of the column name in a predicate will force ignoring of any conventional indexes on that column. Of course, function-based indexes were made just for that.

Re: questions regarding nologging
Mladen, Thanks for your input. Yes, I also rebuilt all relevant indexes with nologging option so no normal redo genearation either. However, the table was moved into LMT tbs from a dictionery managed tbs. Regards Rafiq Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2003 21:39:25 -0800 Well, Rafiq, when you move the table, indexes are marked stale, which means that you must rebuild them. Marking indexes unusable shouldn't generate any redo log, except for the dictionary block that was altered. Other then that, moving table is an opration roughly analogous to CTAS and I suspect that if the target table is NOLOGGING, that the whole operation is done in the direct fashion, with block prebuild and appended below the high watermark. I tried it and I didn't see any redo log generation either. That is probably the reason why splitting partitions also doesn't generate redo, as Arup has noted. Oracle has highly optimized many of these operations and avoding excessive redo log generarion is one of the best optimizations one can make.

Actually the type of command is considered CREATE TABLE So I'm not sure how the original poster was able to determine that the operation generated huge redo logs!

Why you say? As someone pointed out, this was an internal table to the

Re: NT/WINDOWS 2000 resources for ORACLE
David, It is a really comprehansive guidance and may helpful to all who are working Oracle with Windows environment. I shall contact you directly when I need further help. Regards Rafiq Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2003 08:50:17 -0800 Just moving from HPUX with Oracle 7.3.4 to Win2K with Oracle 9i EE and 9iAS. 1) Connectivity Tools? I am using PCAnywhere. Actually did a remote install and avoided the hassles getting through security at the host site. (Server support uses Terminal Server). 2) NT administration tools/books/white papers Using Microsoft Management Console (local on win2k server and remote from NT client), OEM and sundry Oracle supplied tools. Have Win2K Resource Kit installed on server. Books - I have Oracle 9i for Windows 2000 Tips Techniques (Scott Jesse etc) and Oracle 9i for Windows Handbook (Anand Adkoli) plus others I reference for less O/S specific tasks with Oracle. I have the Win2K Server Admin guide and use the Microsoft docn for server specific stuff. The Oracle documentation does have specific documents for Windows such as Getting started for Windows and the Administrators Guide for Windows. For security specific stuff I use Oracle Security Step-by-Step by Pete Finnigan (www.SANS.org) which includes Windows specific security notes. Not so much in the way of white papers that I am reading now 3) Job schedular juct like crontab in unix. We use Control-M for batch jobs, but there are cron like tools for Windows. This will also be covered in item 5 (batch scripting). 4) performance tuning with Windows prospective Will be using Statspack and Oracle Performance Monitor for Windows (hooks to perfmon). There are 3rd party packages for Oracle Performance Tuning. For the O/S you should talk to a Server Sys Admin. 5) batch scripting - most important for me. Is any site contains readily available common scripts. We will be installing Microsoft Unix Services for Windows (latest release) which is a full posix sub-system with all the normal unix commands you expect to find (except Vendor specific, O/S specific commands). You can download a trial and it is cheaper than mks (which I had originally been leaning towards). We will be porting our entire batch system (ksh scripts) to run under unix services on windows with hopefully minimal changes. The unix environment also has cron. I expect this will work for our application people, but my db mgmt scripts will require more work porting as I had a tendency to use a lot more O/S specific commands (eg. bdf, ioscan). 6) Other issues Mostly politics. We are outsourced and they manage the servers. They were not happy about Oracle requiring Admin rights or the client having a DBA with admin rights over their server. They wanted to fully manage environment. Take time to read the documents carefully. You can run into some surprises like doing a deinstall requires changing the registry directly or that the installation documentation is somewhat vague on the actual permissions the installation account requires (found the details on Metalink). Don't let your server people automatically configure your disks as compressed. Thats a no no. I had to battle with our Storage Mgmt people and server people to get a tolerable SAN configuration. Its all raid 5 (thats a battle I couldn't win) but I have plenty of LDEV's and lots of Array Groups. We are using Hitachi SAN. I was essentially able to emulate our Unix mount points on Windows 2000 (it supports disks mounted as directories). Other issue still tackling is my general ignorance but that is a lifetime battle. Good Luck.

RE: NT/WINDOWS 2000 resources for ORACLE
Niall and all other colleagues, Thanks very much for your input on this subject. Very nice and productive info so far. I agree that it is more click and select requirement but I needed some more insight which I got it. There are 2 good books for Oracle on Windows 2000 in the market and are good for learning as well. I shall say again 'Jared, you are great to keep this fantastic list alive all the time.' This is a great source for sharing knowledge. knowledge is power lets share it. Have a nice weekend.

I have unix background supporting Oracle adatbases on a smaller scale hence not much skill was rqquired. Its windows - its all clicky clicky clicky - no skill required :( I shall appreciate your guidance/experience to point right resources for NT/Windows 2000 1)for connectivity tools Probably the most common tools would be vnc or pcAnywhere. Terminal Services is adequate (we use it) but some console commands do not work as expected with TS. 2)NT administratiion tools/books/white papers Check out msdn.microsoft.com. 3) Job schedular juct like crontab in unix. There is a scheduled tasks applet (might require a certain level of IE) for job scheduling. Fairly straightforward. There is a command line version at which works but is horrible imo. 3)performance tuning with Windows prospective Similar I imagine to Unix. Keep os and swap away from each other and Oracle. Don't run any services (daemons) you don't need. Don't install anything you don't need. Dedicate the server to oracle. Performance measurement on windows is done via a tool called perfmon, which works on a 'counters' basis. That is you add 'counters' which are performance metrics to the tool and display the results on screen or write them to a log for later analysis. Counters include things like %CPU, DISK/SEC, Memory usage etc. You can tell these are nearly all counts or ratios :(. 4)batch scripting - most important for me. Is any site contains readily available common scripts. I've not seen one. Note that you can install unix emulators or perl (and then hassle Jared...) if you so desire. My preference is vbscript. 5)Any other issues to tackle The rate at which 'critical' patches for the OS come out. For this reason alone I'd expect to do scheduled maintenance on the server at least every 42 days. Subscribe to the ms security mailing list and check windows update regularly (but install manually). Once UKOUG is over my next project will be an Oracle on Windows whitepaper, but don't expect to see it before Jan/Feb next year.

Hi,
Last week I installed my dataguard scripts with a customer using MKS. I
developed them on Linux and Solaris. No serious problems, except with
dynamic generation of pathnames from database views (replace '\' by '/')
and some colon-related problems when using rcp/scp (e.g.
rcp ${SHOST}:D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\SID\SYSTEM01.ORA \
${DHOST}:D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\SID\SYSTEM01.ORA )
doesn't work. replace D: by D= (and replace backslashes, of course), and
all's fine.
I got ssh to work, although setting passwordless authentication didn't
work. Because the customer has a closed environment, rsh/rcp was
sufficient. Be aware that NTFS is needed to set protection for .rhosts and
rsa/dsa private key files.
Success, Carel-Jan

(Oracle 8i). I.e., it would be nice to get some indicator as to how far an index rebuild has gone, something like 75% done As a rough indicator, I've noticed when rebuilding/moving an index to a different tablespace, Oracle will allocate temporary extents in the tablespace to which the index is being moved. So, in theory, I suppose I could see how big (in terms of extents) the index is before moving it and use that as a rough indicator to see how far along the rebuild is by counting the number of temporary extents allocated in the new tablespace (taking into account the extent size in the new tablespace). Are there better ways to see the progress of an index rebuild?

RE: Startup Migrate
Joe, You did not mention about platform. I just did migration from 8.1.7.4 to 9.2.0.4 today on Windows. That upgrade was manul. After connecting with database you have to issue command startup migrate pfile=init_SID.ora file. Please give complete/absolute path of this file. However, I have no idea about patch script as we already installed oracle upto ver 9.2.0.4. HTH Regards Rafiq Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2004 13:14:28 -0800 I'm looking at the notes to apply patch 4 to Oracle 9.2.0.3. After installing the products.jar file, one of the steps is to run startup migrate then run catpatch.sql I've looked on technet as well as the documentation CD and can not find any info on startup migrate. Can someone point me in a direction to find out about this? All I can find is that it's new in 9.2.
