explicitly. In other words, you cannot get the privilege from a role.
If you do a grant create user to MyRole.
Grant myRole to myUser.
Then try to create user as myUser it will work, but if you try to create
user from a procedure as myUser it will fail.

RE: backspace in Oracle.
There isn't any known bug under NT. But there are many memory leaks and poor drivers, that tend to lead to early rebooting. In my experience. I think the worst problem with NT is not the os but the drivers, even though Even though I hate NT, for the money, it works well. But if you try to get i to do too much, then you are asking for trouble. Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen. Christopher R.

The server OS is Windows NT, SP6, and the version of Oracle is 7.3.4.5.0. The server have 4 processes, we have about 1,7 G primary memory and about 2 G of memory on swap disk. We have 4 processes in the machine. One of these is reserved for the OS, and Oracle uses the other 3. We we reach around 170 sessions in the database, the database sometimes goes down and we have to perform a restart. The 3 process Oracle use are all at about 100% in task manager. The memory use is somewhere around 1,3 G. Then we can run the database for aboout 4 more hours, then we have to restart. Sometimes we have to restart around lunch everyday. Now I have heard the Windows NT have a limit of how much memory one process might use, and that limit is somewhere around 1,7 G, and that that might be our problem. We are planing to upgrade to Oracle 8.1.7 and to Windows NT 4 Enterprise Edition or to Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Does anyone know if this can help?

Re: Analyze table and locking
It depends. For instance, 'analyze index validate structure' takes out 'shared' lock on the table (preventing inserts/deletes/updates), while 'analyze index compute/estimate statistics' does not.

RE: Creating a sorted table
This is totally NOT accurate. Yes there are performance gains storing index data ordered. Perhaps great on range scans. Yes you can reorder tables and indexes.

Re: How to drop unique index
that's not dropping a unique index, that's dropping a column! to drop an index: drop index indexname; doesn't matter if it is unique or not. If you are trying to drop a unique constraint, that's different. first find the name of the unique constraint on that table select constraint_name from user_constraints where constraint_type='U'; will give you all the unique constraints on that table. If there is more than one unique constraint, check in user_cons_columns to match the column to the constraint.

Re: Performance tuning
Peter is right. Look at your SGA it's 285M. If you only have 128M on the machine you are running your at least 75% of your db in swap. I would recommend 512M MINIMUM on this system push for more if you can. RAM is relatively cheap right now for intel machines get some. After that you need to get some other system stats (i/o, cpu, waits, locks) and configuration data (SMP?, RAID??).

We haven't determined the source of the memory leak, but if we permit it to continue eventually the DB stops responding and cannot be shut down. This system does some analytical work for us so it has different connection and activity profiles than the others, so I've a limited basis for comparison, but the other 8.1.5 databse (this one's data source) shows similar problems over a longer period.

Re: io size of Unix machine
Are you trying to find maximum size of the IO possible in Sun/Solaris ? Kernel parameter maxphys parameter determines the maximum size of the IO possible from the OS. By default, it is around 128k depending upon what hardware you use(sun4d=124k, sun4u=128ketc ). If you user veritas volume manager, then vol_maxio parameter is the maximum size of the IO possible through veritas layer. If you use disk suite then, md_maxphys is the maximum IO size. So, if you want to set your IO size, then set both parameters maxphys and vol_maxio to that value (assuming you are using veritas ). Also, I think, veritas has hard limit of 256k and Oracle has hard limit of 512k. Your values should depend upon the type of application, type of disk drives, stripe width etc..

I am posting an excerpt from Doc 97597.1 Optimising Raid performance for Oracle RDBMS on NT RAID 5 is useful for Oracle datafiles but not for redo log files or rollback segments which are sequentially accessed. Datafiles belonging to the temporary tablespace are not suitable for a RAID 5 device. More benefits will be seen in situations where reads predominate over writes. I know that in this instance it is a data load that is being discussed but presumably once the data is loaded then it will be read more than once. Certainly the tone of the note suggests that raid 5 is not a definite no-no rather a 'be cautious as to which files are placed where'. It is my belief that often a single raid level is set for all files rather than a mix of raid 1 and raid 5 as appropriate. Peter, I fully agree that the level of memory utilised here is totally insufficient and is very likely to be the constraining factor in this case.

Subject: RE: Yet another scripting question
However, if the user double clicks the
script again, it should not map a new
drive, it will only open an Explorer
window showing them the contents of
the already mapped drive.
That will actually require a bit more code than you've used so far,
since the ENV variables will not retain enough info between runs.
Here's a script using the CD command, which I don't like (for this
purpose). Rule #3 in scripting should be to always use the FOR
command... :)
~
@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET DRIVELIST=z y x w v u t s r q p o n m l k j i h g f e d
SET CHECKDRIVE=FALSE
FOR %%D IN (%DRIVELIST%) DO CALL :CheckDrive %%D
ECHO %CHECKDRIVE%
ENDLOCAL
GOTO :EOF
:CheckDrive
rem - %1 = Current Drive Letter
CD %1:\ 2NUL
IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 1 IF /I %CHOSEN%==FALSE SET CHECKDRIVE=%1:
GOTO :EOF
~
As a replacement for CD, I chose PUSHD, especially since it already
does the first part of what you want (chosing the highest available
drive letter).
~
@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET RESOURCE=\\COMPUTER\SHARE
SET CHECKDRIVE=NOT SET
PUSHD %RESOURCE%
IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 FOR /F DELIMS=\ %%D IN ('CD') DO SET
CHECKDRIVE=%%D
ECHO %CHECKDRIVE%
POPD
ENDLOCAL
~
Now, if you don't want the drive assigned again, you should check
for
the existence of the mapping before running the rest of the
script
See the following:
http://www.ultratech-llc.com/KB/Scripts/?File=MapDrive.BAT
The full script will be here at some point before tomorrow
morning...

Yeah, I'd say that proportion would have worked in my group too.

What I would do in your situation is to search for all TNSNAMES.ORA files in your PC, since you have products installed in more than one home and more than one version you should have multiple. Edit them and see which ones contain the entries that you need, in one or more of them some entries will be missing, what you can do is copy/paste the missing entries, once you have the file you want then copy it to all the different Homes and you should be able to connect to the different DB's.

Yeah, I think they've got a retention problem, since the money is better outside, and consultants have a good idea of what they're being billed for. But the internal resources are great, as are their internal email lists. Of course, now we've got much of their internal stuff on metalink - if you can get access - and the odtug lists and oracle-l are right up there too. All in all, I liked working there very very much, and if they'd been able to keep up with what the market was offering I never would have left.

I know that in this instance it is a data load that is being discussed but presumably once the data is loaded then it will be read more than once. Certainly the tone of the note suggests that raid 5 is not a definite no-no rather a 'be cautious as to which files are placed where'. It is my belief that often a single raid level is set for all files rather than a mix of raid 1 and raid 5 as appropriate. Peter, I fully agree that the level of memory utilised here is totally insufficient and is very likely to be the constraining factor in this case.

Re: Analyze table and locking
I have used compute statistics since version 7.3.2 up through 8.1.6, and never had it hold a table lock for the duration of the analyze. I don't know where people are getting the idea that compute statistics holds a lock and estimate doesn't. That just doesn't make sense. Why would compute need a lock? Are you saying I can estimate sample 99 percent, and get what amounts to a compute and avoid the supposed lock? Does that make any sense? No. Validate structure cascade holds a lock.

Re: Problems with CharArrayType after upgrade from 7.3.4 to 8.1.7.1
Cherie, I have no idea if this could be the case, but I noticed that the type is based on the datatype VARCHAR, not VARCHAR2. According to the docs, this shouldn't make a difference, but they've been warning since the introduction of VARCHAR2 that they may do something different with VARCHAR at some point in the future, so it's best not to use it. From the PL/SQL manual: === VARCHAR2 Subtypes The VARCHAR2 subtypes below have the same range of values as their base type. For example, VARCHAR is just another name for VARCHAR2. STRING VARCHAR You can use these subtypes for compatibility with ANSI/ISO and IBM types. Note: Currently, VARCHAR is synonymous with VARCHAR2. However, in future releases of PL/SQL, to accommodate emerging SQL standards, VARCHAR might become a separate datatype with different comparison semantics. So, it is a good idea to use VARCHAR2 rather than VARCHAR. === Again, I don't see how that could affect the code...just a shot in the dark.

RE: Build an exact copy of a database using export / import
We use Clones of databases all the time. Its much faster than the Export/import run. We simply take the DB down, copy the data files to a new server in the same file layouts (i.e. ... same directory tree), copy over and change the init file for the new DB name, and bring it up. Then you have to alter the global name. Its a relatively simple process. If there are tablespaces that were in the original one that you do not want over then, at this point, drop any associated objects and drop the tablespaces. -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2001 11:57 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Well, depending on the size of the db and some other network stuff, I do the following. I shut down the real db, copy all of the data files, controlfiles and init file to a machine with Oracle on it. Then you can create the service (NT), alter any of the datafiles if necessary (on different logical drive) then you can just bring that bad boy up. Then I just give it a different alias, works for me. However, what do you mean it creates new tablespaces, I have never seen that happen, it just fails miserably for me if the tablespaces don't exist. You could do the full export, create a new user on the new machine and grant become any user to the new user. I believe that then the import would work, I've done it before.

OT RE: Effective Living
Actually, I think following the Tao has more to do with being true, i.e. being who you are, which also naturally meshes with where nature is heading. Similar to other religions that tell you that if you follow certain precepts, you will be purer and therefore will be closer to heaven, God, whatever. Otherwise you are living in sin, which actually means off the mark, like an arrow that misses its target. Asking why is good if it brings back to your self, but if you are asking why and speculating ad nauseam you are off on a tangent. Like that inner chatter we sometimes hear in our heads. That instructor was Austrian, by the way, about fifty to fifty-five years old when I took that course, which was over ten years ago. So perhaps he went through WW2 when he was a child, who knows. I am also biased, being son of two psychologists, I don't like social workers all that much precisely because they don't like to take societal context into account. Mind you a lot of psychologists and psychiatrists do the same thing, ignore the context and just try to make the better better adjusted - ha ha Patrice Boivin Systems Analyst (Oracle Certified DBA) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2001 3:37 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject:OT: Effective Living Isn't that sort of like Taoism?

What are the main roles and responsibilities in facilitating forums? System Administrator Account Administrator Forum Convener Community Architect Moderator Content Facilitator Cybrarian About this FAQ Most of the roles and responsibilities described in this FAQ are part of a new kind of work with no ready-made job-descriptions. The responses are definitely not definitive; they will change as our understanding of the requirements for effectively facilitating virtual communities will deepen through the feedback from, and collaboration with facilitators reading and contributing to this FAQ. When and why forums have to be facilitated? Facilitate = make easy, promote, help forward action or result. (Oxford Dictionary) Online facilitators or hosts are the primary enablers of any virtual community. It is their enthusiasm and attention to the participants challenges in communicating and collaborating in cyberspace, that can make or brake fledgling online communities. Without their efforts it is difficult to build momentum, maintain the flow and generate the activity that will help to ensure return visits. (Denham Grey) Developing competence in facilitating the electronic meeting of minds that takes place in forums is a must in companies that want to turn the web tools and methods of coordination into a strategic advantage to achieve breakthrough results. The number of required facilitative functions is raising along the following continuum: Communities of interest (hobby groups) -- communities of practice (professional communities) -- communities of commitment (teams, taskforces, work groups). What are the main roles and responsibilities in facilitating forums? Responsibilities outlined under the following roles can be assumed by one or a few individuals in small virtual communities. In larger communities, they are divided among the participants of the facilitation team. System Administrator Participates in the administration of the server Contributes suggestions and implements software-related measures for maximizing uptime Maintains software integrity and forum security Provides other participants of the facilitation team and users with technical support Account Administrator Implements access privileges Issues or confirms user names and passwords in password-protected forums Forum Convener Forum Convener, sometimes also called chairperson, is a function of someone who has a major stake in the forums outcome(s), typically performed in task-oriented virtual communities. Community Architect Optimizes the community's structure and design to help it meet its purpose Using the appropriate combination of groupware features, designs virtual spaces to meet specific community functions Drafts guidelines for forum community norms (community covenant) Writes and edits user agreements Designs the structure of initial topics Seeds topics with context-setting materials Designs strategy and mechanisms for collecting and incorporating feedback from participants Moderator The moderator, also called host or organizer: Participates in the preliminary planning of the forum with the sysadmin, convener, and community architect Welcomes and acknowledges participants Stimulates participation and sustains interest Facilitates a healthy group dynamics conducive to higher quality contributions and achieving objectives in task-oriented forums Keeps the conversation focused on the purpose of the forum Provides pointers to sources of user support Models behaviors of effective communication and collaboration Provides closure: in task-oriented forums, s/he declares the forum or any topics of it closed, when its function is complete Content Facilitator

RE: Your views on Quest - Shareplex
Title: RE: Your views on Quest - Shareplex -Original Message- From: MacGregor, Ian A. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] We are looking into the product as well, but have yet to even toy with the product. There is a no chained rows restriction. I'm not sure what that statement means. Shareplex will replicate a table that has chained rows. Shareplex does not replicate transactions on sys objects. A table dropped on one side will not be dropped on the other. It apparently will replicate truncates however. It's one thing to read the logs and to find the time when a truncate caused writes to the data dictionary, but quite another to reconstruct the statement. Statement from a developer of Shareplex: Interesting statement as this is how we replicate DML. Providing functionality for DDL is not at all impossible for us. It is just one of the things on the list of enhancements that we plan for SharePlex, the priority of which is dependent on the market. Let me relate my personal experience working with Shareplex (BEFORE I was an employee with Quest Software). At a previous company we were looking for a replication tool at a company that did payroll taxes. There were large batch loads (bank records) every night, but especially at the end of each quarter and at the end of the year. We wanted to ensure that the replication tool we chose would be fast enough to keep up with the large data loads. When we tested Oracle Replication and Quest Shareplex, we found that Shareplex was significantly faster. I personally argued against it initially for some of the reasons posters here have mentioned (e.g. it uses unsupported means to accomplish its goal) but eventually we implemented Shareplex and were satisfied with the result. There can be some manual effort involved in reconciliation of discrepancies but we found that effort to be minor. Another factor that influenced our decision is that we were intending to use Shareplex for Oracle in conjunction with Shareplex FS to replicate datafiles created on the HP-UX server. -- Jacques R.

Peter McLarty wrote Are you running RAID and if so what configuration. (Not RAID 5 I hope) Interesting. I am posting an excerpt from Doc 97597.1 Optimising Raid performance for Oracle RDBMS on NT RAID 5 is useful for Oracle datafiles but not for redo log files or rollback segments which are sequentially accessed. Datafiles belonging to the temporary tablespace are not suitable for a RAID 5 device. More benefits will be seen in situations where reads predominate over writes. I know that in this instance it is a data load that is being discussed but presumably once the data is loaded then it will be read more than once. Certainly the tone of the note suggests that raid 5 is not a definite no-no rather a 'be cautious as to which files are placed where'. It is my belief that often a single raid level is set for all files rather than a mix of raid 1 and raid 5 as appropriate.

Yeah, but just because something is popular doesn't meen it is good. If we all lived our lives that way everyday I am not so sure we would get much accomplished? Oh no, the Database is down!! Why?

RE: Performance tuning
I don't know what is causing this, but I would keep an eye on physical memory available vs. commit charge in Task Manager, I strongly recommend your commit charge never exceed your physical memory. I found that Oracle sometimes refuses to even start services when it runs out of physical memory, it doesn't like virtual memory very much. Shrinking the size of your SGA is preferable to exceeding the available physical memory, in my opinion. Keep in mind session memory space in your calculations, and the other programs you may be running on your machine. I recommend you stop all the services (in Services applet) that you dare stop, to lighten the load. In the virtual memory settings, allocate the amount you want, but try to avoid a range of values - when initial and max size values are different NT keeps polling the pagefile and memory statistics to figure out if the pagefile should grow or shrink. Better to do that manually up front, allocate at set amount. NT then stops doing extra work regarding memory allocation. Every little bit helps. I haven't used SQL*Loader, so I can't say much about that, except... when you start loading those first few rows, what does Commit Charge look like in Task Manager? Is it growing? If it is, notice how slowly NT does this. It can't be helped. If commit charge approaches physical memory available, you will hit a ceiling I think. Then things may well slow down to a crawl. Is there a buffer size you can set for SQL*Loader? I always set my exp buffer size to 100 to speed it up. Maybe you can do the same for SQL*Loader. That must use more memory though. Can you commit every few records? Could it be every 10 rows? Would it be better not to commit too often? As mentioned before, RAID 5 will prove slower than simple disk or RAID 01 or RAID 10. Do you have many indexes on the tables you are filling up? You may want to drop them and re-create them once the load is finished. This may sound silly but... do you have a virus checking program running on your server? Try to exclude the oradata directories from it. Just some ideas. That's what I would check first. If your RBS segments filled up, you would see an error somewhere, it seems to me. Is TEMP filling up? You never know. Oh another probably silly thing - if you are not using SCSI, download DMACheck from microsoft and test whether your DMA is turned on. That would speed up your disk by 40% or more. Servers use SCSI disks normally though, but sometimes people install Oracle on PCs or workstations with IDE drives.

Re: OT: Archiving not possible with SQL Server?
And thus you discover the inane mechanism that SQL Server inherited from Sybase, by which both try to do concurrency. Guess what happens when a long running transaction marks the log near the end, and not too long afterward the log needs truncated? If memory serves, ( hasn't worked too well lately :) the database will hang. It may just truncate back to the mark, and start from there, but you always have the possibility of another long transaction starting. Can't remember the details, but what I do remember clearly is that it is a process that has to be closely watched, and I didn't particularly care for the way it worked.
