--- Begin Message --- You may wont to reconsider using Richard Niemiec's book.  It's unfortunately NOT one of the best books on Oracle tuning, you can get.  It's actually pretty full of factual errors and poor advices.  There is a quite negative review on amazon, that you should read. I too,

Naveen, I don't believe that anyone on this list will reprimand a beginner for asking beginner questions, as long as he or she has done some homework first. The gist of the article is that listservs are a great place to ask questions and get different viewpoints, but don't make it your first s

Running a package from another instance

Hi DBAs, I have a package(mail_pkg) in instance SID1. Can I run the package from instance SID2? If so how do I proceed? Is it just a matter of creating a db_link. ex. exec mail_pkg.send_mail ()@dblink_name. Thanks Rick -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Aut

RE: Oracle Dump location on Microsoft Cluster

Deen, I am keeping all of the Oracle files (including dump directories) on shared disks. These disks then fail over when MCS/OFS fail to the other box. Makes in cleaner, in my view, that the *total* Oracle database fails over as one unit. I have the Oracle software installed on local disks (dri

External tables and bad files

2002-01-31 Thread Jonathan Gennick
I recently wrote an article for Oracle Magazine that described some of Oracle9i's new ETL features. A reader clued me into an interesting issue with respect to bad files. If anyone's intersted, and if you're using external tables at all you probably should be interested, I wrote a follow-up articl

Hi Naveen,   I have no objections to RTFM.  I do have objections to rudeness, arrogance and nastiness.  It's so easy to just hit the delete key -- nobody is making anybody answer any e-mails.  If they don't want to answer them, they can just delete them, without all the nastiness.  I'm new

Not able to drop table

2002-01-31 Thread Daemen, Remco
Hi, I'm stuck with a table I can't drop and can't update. Select works fine, status is valid and the name appears in dba_tables and dba_objects. I seem to remember someone posting a solution to this problem some time ago, but can't find it. Something like manually adding a record in a dictionary

For what seems to be the few of you who use interMedia Text, I found the problem - it was ME. :-( I had set (in CTX_Parameters) Max_Index_Memory to 200MB (from the default of 12.5MB) and used 200MB when I created indexes, but had overlooked Default_Index_Memory (default of 12.5MB), which is used
