Catching up on e-mails ...as usual :-( and I noticed no one had answered this question. The ORA-3232 is usually not related to tablespaces but to the relationship between the size of your temp tablespace INITIAL and NEXT extent in relation to sort_area_size (and hash joins). This hit me not too

Oracle on MVS able to submit JCL ??

Does anyone on this listserv using Oracle on a mainframe? I was asked today if I can use Oracle's extproc feature on the mainframe to submit JCL. I said that I doubted it because the OS structure is so much different than UNIX or NT, but I would look into it. Has anyone tried to somehow have

Too many db calls

A while back someone mentioned that the two main causes of slow SQL are excesive LIO's and excesscive database calls, which show up as excessive CPU use and excessive network traffic, respectively. Regarding the database calls, is there a classic reason for this problem? My best guess is it's

Hold the press. NOT IN better than NOT EXISTS? If so is there any supporting evidence out there? I think you're joking, but if not there's a nice comparison chart of several tests in Harrison, p. 268. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Greg Moore

Okay. Let me try this! The largest column will have the biggest extent size that the tablespace can accommodate next time. You might save this information in a temp. table and have the other query to check against this. select substr(a.tablespace_name,1,20) tablespace,

Greg, I believe that the cultural root cause of the excessive LIO problem is the conception that physical I/O is what makes databases slow. Disk I/O certainly *can* make a system slow, but in about 598 of 600 cases we've seen in the past three years, it hasn't. [Why you should focus on LIOs
