Firstly Arslan, it should probably be pointed out that this is an Oracle list, not SQLServer. But, seeing as I deal with both database types, I'll have a stab at this.. You can create jobs under the SQLServer Agent. If you open up SQLServer's Enterprise Manager, and navigate to your Server, there

Hi! Note that hash joins are very prone to extreme performance degradation when statistics outdated (don't reflect real rowcounts/sizes in tables). When optimizer decides to go with hash join because it thinks that there is 1000 rows in driving table, but there is 100 instead, all driving

I've asked for the out put on a lsnrctl status already, but haven't heard back from him as yet.. The . does look strange.. Also, what would the impact be to have the GLOBAL_DBNAME set to the same value for all three instances? Would it not be better to set it to the same name as the instance name

Mark, I don't think that all three on the same port is a problem - heck - I do it all the time. I would comment out the GLOBAL_DBNAME entry. It certainly is not required. And output from lsnrctl would be helpful. Tom Mercadante Oracle Certified Professional -Original Message- Sent:

I don't believe a 12154 error has anything to do with the listener. The request never leaves the client. It has all to do with the fact that sqlnet on the client can not find the service name in the tnsnames.ora. What is names.default.domain set to in sqlnet.ora. If there is no sqlnet.ora try

Yep, you're correct, everything is frozen in datafiles when they're in read only mode (you can have read only datafiles on read only media if you want). Also, no controlfile records (like checkpoint cnt, checkpoint scn) for read only datafiles are not changed, I've verified this with controlfile

Sure. Create the database userid so that it is authenticated externally (Identfied externally). Then the userid can log in via SQL*Plus using a / instead of a userid or password. The OS userid should be a controlled account so that everyone and his grandmother cannot log into it. If it is a

Few ideas: 1) sqlplus /nolog connect user/[EMAIL PROTECTED] 2). $HOME/.orapwd sqlplus user/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (.orapwd script has to set environment variable ORAPWD to the password) 3) sqlplus [EMAIL PROTECTED] $HOME/.orapwd (.orapwd must contain one line, the password) Tanel.
