Oracle Standards Document Sought

2001-06-03 Thread Dale Edgar



Hi All

I've recently been tasked with writing the Oracle 
Standards Documentat work. You know the sort of thing I mean - naming 
conventions fortables, columns, datafiles, tablespaces etc, mount 
points, init.orastandards et al. 

Would anybody be willing to send me the standards 
document you workfrom to use as a template? It would be much appreciated. 
The O/S is
AIX - but any doc would be 
appreciated.

Thanks in advanceDale

No problem at this end.

That means that the problem is in one of the mail relays
between the list server and you ( we have no control
over that ) or is a problem with the mail setup at your
site ( we can't control that either :).

Talk to your mail admin, I bet something has been

RE: NT script question ???

2001-06-03 Thread Reardon, Bruce (CALBBAY)

Andrew,

Batch parameters are referred to as %1, %2 etc
%0 is the name of the calling command.
%* refers to all parameters
You can use the shift command to move parameters (do help shift)

As an example:
C:\batchtype param_test.bat
@echo off
echo %1
echo %2
echo %0
echo %*
C:\batch
C:\batch
C:\batchparam_test.bat one two three four five
one
two
param_test.bat
one two three four five

C:\batch
To append the date / time, use the for command to split up the output of
time and date commands.


For example:


C:\batch test_time.bat
[08504789]
[0604Mon]

---

@echo off
rem test_time.bat

call :get_timestamp

call :get_datestamp

goto :EOF

:::


:get_timestamp

:: get the time in format hhmmssxx, where 'xx' is hundredths of a
second
::  because want ssxx can not use time/t
   for /f tokens=1-8 delims=:.  %%a in ('echo.^| time ^| find current')
do (
   set zhh=%%e
   set zmm=%%f
   set zss=%%g
   set zxx=%%h
   )

   if 10 GTR %zhh% set zhh=0%zhh%

:: assign the values to ztimefull
   set ztimefull=%zhh%%zmm%%zss%%zxx%
 
   echo [%ztimefull%]

rem cleanup
   set zhh=
   set zmm=
   set zss=
   set zxx=

   goto :EOF

:::


:get_datestamp

:: get the time in format mmdd
   for /f tokens=1-8 delims=:.-/  %%a in ('echo.^| date ^| find
current') do (
   set z=%%h
   set zmm=%%g
   set zdd=%%f
   )


:: assign the values to zdatefull
   set zdatefull=%z%%zmm%%zdd%
 
   echo [%zdatefull%]

rem cleanup
   set z=

PRO*C problems (sqlcode 2)

2001-06-03 Thread Suhen Pather

List,

We seem to have a problem with one of our PRO*C programs that we execute.
We are using Oracle 8.1.6.3.4 on Windows NT 4.0 SP 6a.

We use MKS Toolkit to run our korn shell scripts.

Last night we got an sqlcode 2 in our error logs for the pro*c program.

I am not a C programmer, as the DBA I am trying to establish were this error
came from.
This caused our nightly job to abort unsuccessfully.

What I know is that when a the programs exit with an sqlcode 0, it means
that the job completed successfully.
But sqlcode 2, not really sure.

This pro*c program used to run successully previously, but last night we
ended up with problems.

Nothing changed from a db version, or in the korn shell, or in the parameter
file..

No errors were logged in the alert log, or trace files. It makes it
difficult huh.

Since we are using MKS Toolkit.  Will the pro*c be run from MKS or from
Oracle.

I have looked the docs, and logged a TAR with Oracle but still waiting for a
response.

I also see that with PRO*C there are lots of bugs and fixes in previous
releases. So I would
have hoped it would be stable in 8.1.6.3.

If you have an insight. Let me know

Thanks and Regards
Suhen

NT script

2001-06-03 Thread Andrea Oracle

Hi, 

Thank you all very much for answering my NT batch
script question.  Do you mind I ask another one?  I
pass in SID as a parameter, if they don't pass it in,
I'd like to echo out an error message.  So how to
check whether the parameter is passed in or not?

I never write bat file before.  Are there some good
ways, web site/book/doc that I can do some research by
my own, so I don't have to bug people whenever I got a
question.  

Thank you!

Andrea

Not necessary to use glibc-2.1, Oracle has a patch for using
with glibc-2.2. It's on the download page for linux Oracle, it's
at technet.oracle.com.

It is a set of stubs that point 2.1 calls to 2.2 functions. It 
requires relinking Oracle and includes instructions.

 Look under $ORACLE_HOME/bin for oracle executable. Do you see the

 creating the executable. If you do see the file then, check under
 $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log for any alert messages or traces. Also, Did you
 follow the procedure to use glibc-2.1 instead of glibc-2.2 ?

Re: PRO*C problems (sqlcode 2)

2001-06-03 Thread Hal Wigoda

Send the source for the proC program.

At 05:45 PM 6/3/01 -0800, you wrote:
List,

We seem to have a problem with one of our PRO*C programs that we execute.
We are using Oracle 8.1.6.3.4 on Windows NT 4.0 SP 6a.

We use MKS Toolkit to run our korn shell scripts.

Last night we got an sqlcode 2 in our error logs for the pro*c program.

I am not a C programmer, as the DBA I am trying to establish were this error
came from.
This caused our nightly job to abort unsuccessfully.

What I know is that when a the programs exit with an sqlcode 0, it means
that the job completed successfully.
But sqlcode 2, not really sure.

This pro*c program used to run successully previously, but last night we
ended up with problems.

Nothing changed from a db version, or in the korn shell, or in the parameter
file..

No errors were logged in the alert log, or trace files. It makes it
difficult huh.

Since we are using MKS Toolkit.  Will the pro*c be run from MKS or from
Oracle.

I have looked the docs, and logged a TAR with Oracle but still waiting for a
response.

I also see that with PRO*C there are lots of bugs and fixes in previous
releases. So I would
have hoped it would be stable in 8.1.6.3.

If you have an insight. Let me know

Thanks and Regards
Suhen

Which SQL is executing

Hi All,


From v$open_cursor, I know every SQL opened

another way, canall the SQLs in one session be sorted in timing order

Any clue would be much appreciated.
