Threat to Fast exports

Please have a look at following note: 223399.1 having title ALERT: EXPORT with large BUFFER can silently produce a dump file with corrupted data. Looks like all major versions on all platforms are affected. Really scary one.. Rajesh -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.

David, Have you checked the most obvious... The number of rows in the table? Also, you say "three different Solaris8 machines"... How "different" are they? Are the disk subsystems the same on all three? How identical are their configurations? How similar are the init.ora files on all three m

Thanks John. Actually it turns out there are a couple of small tables left in the tablespace that I missed in my query. After moving those outta there, I was able to shrink. Thanks Dennis -Original Message- Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2003 1:49 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L A

Apologies - when I use MS Web Outlook, I can't change the mail format from rich text to plan text, so it attaches the winmail.dat garbage. Are your tablespaces, by any chance, locally managed with a large uniform extent size? I don't believe you can shrink the size of a datafile smaller than th

Hi all - I am trying to resize a datafile and have the following puzzler - I used the following query to get the list of tables that use this datafile and then use 'alter table ... move tablespace ' to move the tables to another tablespace. Now the datafile should be empty as indicated by the q

chao_ping, Read MetaLink Doc Id 166924.1. It offer some insights into this kind of "Self Deadlocks". Here is an excerpt. 1. Self Deadlocks It occur when one session tries to get a lock on a resource that he already has in some way. Normally, the Oracle engine should detect those situations and

Re: V$ARCHIVED_LOG question

Murali, I can offer some insight into the activation# column because I was interested in that too earlier. When a database starts, a new "database instantiation id" is given to that instance, presumably for the RMAN backups. This id can be seen from v$database under column activation#. So when you

We do something similar to this, we created a series of scripts that use the oratab file to create a menu for the oracle id. this same proc is called when running batch jobs against the DB's by sending the DB name as a parm. -Original Message- Kirti Sent: Friday, February 28, 2003 10:15 P

Re: bulk load of data

certainly sqlldr direct is the way to do until you could look at external tables in ver 9. The only advice I would add is that if you do go the external table route in v9, try get more benefit than just replacing sqlldr with some sql. I've seen a few places where they adopted external tables but

RE: Statistics on SYS?

The cynic in me would think that this is tantamount to Oracle asking us to beta-test their cbo-enabled dictionary in preparation for ver 10 :-) I think they're pretty much there though - bucketloads of the recursive sql seems to be hinted nowadays, presumably to get it cbo ready. cheers connor
