Creating a Reporting Instance

2001-11-26 Thread Casey Dyke

Hiya folks,

Task at hand is to create a reporting instance from an v8.0.4 beast (in
structure, not size) originating from ISAM.  We need to replicate the
main transaction tables (30 in all) + reference tables.  All will
receive I, U and D activity.  Seems to me quite an easy solution to use
simple snapshots/snapshot logs and be done with it.  
A colleague, however, questioned why we need snapshot logs and
interference w/the PROD instance.  Fair enough I guess.  The reason
behind the logs was easy to refute, but the whether we have other
non-intrusive methods didn't roll off my tongue as well as I would have
liked it to have.  Some options I came up with:

- Transportable tablespaces
- Log Miner
- Shareplex
- cloning
- RO standby 

...

The question I have is what other options have others tried/implemented?
And, for those of you w/DW experience (which I obviously do not have) -
how do you handle the incremental transactions after initial population?
Is it accepted practice to use triggers to feed scratch tables for ETL
processes?  What comes into play when restrictions on the prod instance
are in place (ie: the config cannot change)?  What sort of comparison
routines are standard for an OLTP-Datamart/DW setup?

Hope that all makes sense.  My situation is not particularly complex,
but I've no doubt others can provide handy insight.

Cheers,

Casey ...

Re: Listener problems

2001-11-26 Thread Rachel Carmichael

once clients are connected, you can shut down the listener... all that
means is that no one else can connect once it is down.

size of listener.log is OS dependent, it's just  a file on disk. You
can recreate it by 

shutting down the listener
renaming or deleting the listener.log file
starting up the listener

Re: extenal procedure listener and firewall

2001-11-26 Thread Peter . McLarty

I memory serves me right I think that this is from using MTS, its problem is that it opens a random port number for the connection and that means that the remote user never see's that connection, Some firewalls are able to handle these connections but must are simple packet filtering and if the port is not in the list then a connection never gets through

If you search the archives at fatcity.com you might find something

Re: How Can I get A sequence Current Value in PROC

2001-11-26 Thread Bill Buchan


Yes, sequenceName.CURRVAL

Note that this provides the current value for the session: i.e. the value 
that was last returned by NEXTVAL within that session.  Therefore:

1. NEXTVAL must have been called at least once before in the session to 
define CURRVAL.
2. Even if NEXTVAL is called for the sequence in another session, CURRVAL 
in the original session will relate to the previous call to NEXTVAL in the 
original session - it does not increment.

Re: Morpheus killed my Oracle! Help!

2001-11-26 Thread Richard Ji

I think he is on Windows platform.  Sounds like it's a play machine since he can
put Morpheus on it.  One option is to simply change Oracle to listen on some other
port.

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/25/01 08:20PM 
Look in your /etc/services or inetd.conf file. 

It sounds like Morpheous still has a listener attached to the port and you 
need to remove the reverence to 1521.  If inetd.conf needs editing you 
will need to send a kill -1 to the inetd process to re read the inetd.conf

Hi,

I've installed Morpheus.
Right after that I couldn't attach to Oracle ( 8.1i under Windows Nt), 
because the 1521 port was already used.
(that's why the listener couldn't start)

I uninstalled Morpheus but the port is still used.
I've tried other ports but every one seems to be used.

Thank you in advance

But You can get last_number from dba/user_sequences view

I just looked at this view and found some interesting results

If sequence is nocache then it seems last_number really is the last
number
But if some sequence values are stored in cache then last number values are
something like

starting_value + n * increment_by * cache_size

enjoy!!! :-)

I don't know if it is written somewhere in the docs.

Re[2]: Two questions about PRO*C

If your going to do selects with dynamic SQL in Pro*C check out the SQLDA or SQL
Descriptor area.  I'll admit it's a pain to set up the first time, but
thereafter it is mainly a cut  paste operation.  If you need an example let me
know privately, it can get a little BIG.

 Hi All
 
 1- I have a (char *) that contains a SQL statement,
 Can I apply it to database from a PROC program.
 

Yes, it's called dynamic SQL. EXECUTE IMMEDIATE is fine if it's DDL or
hard-coded INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE. SELECTs are more or less complicated,
depending on whether you already know the number and types of the items
in the select list. The less you know about the statement, the more
complicated it becomes. Check the demo programs.

 2- How can I move a cursor to first record?

 Although OCI functions are beginning to have parameters pointing into
the direction of scrolling back cursors (but so far only one direction
is allowed, forwards), this is inherently unnatural to Oracle. Close the
cursor and reopen it.

Since you know enough to ask if there is a data dictionary view, might
I suggest you also spend some time reviewing the reference manual which
contains a list of all the data dictionary views and what information
they contain?

just a thought, people seem to have been in a good mood this morning,
no one beat on you to read the manuals for yourself.

Re: How Can I get A sequence Current Value in PROC

2001-11-26 Thread Stefan Jahnke

Hi

Yes. Try sequenceName.CURRVAL.
Once you've retrieved a value, you can refer to this value as often as
you want to with CURRVAL.

Regards,
Stefan

RE: IOT and ora-600 [ktbgcur_2] on NT 81714

2001-11-26 Thread Jack C. Applewhite

Bruce,

This may not be related at all, but I sometimes get ORA-00600 [smbalo_1] on
an IOT when the Analyze Table The_Table Estimate Statistics Sample x
Percent statement is executed against it.  The table gets truncated and
repopulated nightly and has about 544,000 rows.

What's weird is that a few weeks ago ... Sample 5 Percent would produce
the error, but 4 and 6 percent wouldn't.  Just last night 6 percent started
producing the error and now only 3 percent or lower will work.  I haven't
pursued it with Oracle Support, since we're soon to move to a new Win2k
server with 8.1.7.2.5 (we're currently on 8.1.6.0.0 under Win2k) and I'm
hoping the problem will just go away.

Hi,

We are testing the use of IOTs getting ready to implement 1 in production.

During some of the testing we have encountered an ora-600 [ktbgcur_2] in the
alert log.

This has been logged with Oracle support to get an explanation of what this
means but in the meantime I was wondering if anyone else has come across
this?

The all important version information:
Oracle 8.1.7.1.4 - Windows NT4, Quad processor server with parallel degree
of default on all tables and indexes.

From the alert log:

Helmut,

Since you know enough to ask if there is a data dictionary view, might
I suggest you also spend some time reviewing the reference manual which
contains a list of all the data dictionary views and what information
they contain?

just a thought, people seem to have been in a good mood this morning,
no one beat on you to read the manuals for yourself.

AFAIK Morpheus uses port 1214 and will not interfere with the listener

 
 I uninstalled Morpheus but the port is still used.
 I've tried other ports but every one seems to be used.

RE: How Can I get A sequence Current Value in PROC

2001-11-26 Thread Lowes, Harry (NESL-IT)

Afternoon,

I had always assumed that this was because, before you get the next number
for a sequence using NEXTVAL, there ISN'T a current value. There is only the
last number generated, visible in the dictionary. NEXTVAL initialises the
current value, setting it to (LAST_NUMBER + INCREMENT_BY). This becomes the
current value to be used by that transaction. Other transactions that have
not used NEXTVAL do not have a current value from that sequence (but can
look at the value in the dictionary).


Thanks,

I don't know why it's necessary to use nextval, but they state this in the

You can use another pseducolumn CURRVAL but you must use at least once per

ORA-08002 error.

Do you have an SMTP server that you can forward the alerts to? You could
forward the alerts over your LAN to the mail server, to then forward to your
internet email account? Have you tried using the EMAIL_USING_SMTP action?

Another option is to install a server agent (if you don't already have one
on another DBAs machine) on to a PC with an email client/modem, use a
FORWARD action from your client to the alternate server agents alerter, then
use the email action on any event that has originated from JACK..

The final option is to set up your PC properly :P

entering Oracle Standard Deviation, and turned up the fact that Oracle8i
supports the STDDEV function. Enjoy.

Hi
I asked this earlier over on the ODTUG-SQLPLUS-L list, not much response 

I am working on a problem where I have rows of data and the structure 
includes 48 elements of data in each row on which i need to calculate the 
standard deviation for the 48 elements in that row.

I currently have that data in a PL/SQL table in the form of one element to 
each row in that table as part of the overall package and could use this 
to calculate it.

1) Can I use stddev on a pl/sql table and if so what column name do I use 
in the stddev function. The column type in the PL/SQL table is Number. 
or
2)  Do I need to write it out to a temp table and get it from that.

TIA

RE: A problem

2001-11-26 Thread MacGregor, Ian A.

There is no indication of the platform involved.  On UNIX one can set an environment 
variable in a shell script
EXPORT_DATE= `date + %d%m%y`
export EXPORT_DATE

and then use that variable in the Oracle export command's file directive.  For 
instance,
 
$ORACLE_HOME/BIN/exp  file=name$EXPORT_DATE.dmp.

The above does not include the century.  There is a format marker for centuries,  but 
it does not seem to work on our machines.

I'm not sure what you want for name.  In other words how does it vary from export to 
export, and are these variations in any order or completely random.

create trigger and create any trigger

2001-11-26 Thread Wiegand, Kurt

Is the CREATE ANY TRIGGER privilege required in order for a user to
create a trigger on another user's table?  Oracle8: The Complete
Reference leads me to believe that all the user needs is the ALTER
privilege for the table and the CREATE TRIGGER privilege.  It seems
to say that CREATE ANY TRIGGER is only required if the trigger is
to be created in another schema.  However, as USER1,  I can't get 
the following to work without it:


CREATE TRIGGER ABC
AFTER INSERT ON USER2.DATA_READY FOR EACH ROW
 BEGIN return;
END;


SQL @t3.sql
AFTER INSERT ON USER2.DATA_READY FOR EACH ROW
   *
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist


Am I looking at this correctly?  (I'm running 8.0.5.2.1 and all privileges
on
USER2.DATA_READY have been granted directly to USER1) Thanks.

RE: Standard Deviation

2001-11-26 Thread Larry Elkins

Ok, it sounds like you already know about the stddev function (since you
mentioned it) and its 2 cousins. So it seems like what you are looking for
is the best way to apply it to the data in your PL/SQL table, right? Here
are some links to suggestions and workarounds for selecting from a PL/SQL
table. You can use a function against a real PL/SQL table, or, you can
create an SQL type, not PL/SQL type, and do some neat things. You can search
for more examples while there.

http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:285838::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID:6
66224436920
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:F4950_P8_DISPLAYID:195057541
7033

And, if performance isn't absolutely critical, you could define an object
type of number and hit the table again, returning each of the 48 columns as
a separate row and applying the STDDEV function. Here is an example for
transposing the columns into rows so that you can apply the function:

SQL select * from sdev
  2  /

A1 A2 A3
-- -- --
 1  2  3

SQL create or replace type numlistt as table of number
  2  /

Type created.

SQL select a.column_value foo
  2  from the (select cast( numlistt(A1,A2,A3) as numlistt) from sdev) A
  3  /

   FOO
--
 1
 2
 3

  1  select stddev(a.column_value) foo
  2* from the (select cast( numlistt(A1,A2,A3) as numlistt) from sdev) A
SQL /

Oracle 9.0.1.1.1 on Win2k: stalls during installation: 85% Database Configuration Assistant

2001-11-26 Thread Dan Browning

For that past few weeks, I have not for life of me been able to get
Oracle 9.0.1.1.1 (free download) installed on my Win2k box.  

I can install it just fine on the same box inside of a Vmware WinXP Pro
instance, or any other box, but not mine.  Mine had Oracle 8.1.7
(Enterprise - not the free download) but I have uninstalled it.  

When I install Oracle 9.0.1.1.1 (using Personal), it goes fine until
the screen where you select your database (General, Transactions, none,
etc.).  (No matter what I select) I click next, and it runs some
calculations, the bar at the top gets to 85% Database Configuration
Assistant and then locks up.  My only option is to click the x in the
top right and quit the installer.

Since I can install it just fine on a new box, then I know that the
reason this is happening has something to do with the sofwtare I already
have installed.  Can anyone recommend a course of action (rather than
nuke-and-repave)?  Thanks,

Dan Browning

RE: poor parse/execute ratio.. next steps?

2001-11-26 Thread DENNIS WILLIAMS

Doug - I would suggest that you start by trying to identify the worst
offenders in your SQL code. If modifying the source code is an option, you
can use Pareto's rule (80/20 principle) to identify the worst offenders. In
my experience, the worst troublemakers are batch reports that can flood your
SQL with non-reusable SQL that quickly ages out the good (reusable SQL).
Individual screens where users enter the occasional query with non-bound
variables 
Once you exhaust the options for modifying code, or if your
situation won't let you use that option, take a look at the init.ora
parameter cursor_sharing=force. Be sure to read the available notes on this
because there are several caveats. This has been discussed several times on
this list, so search the archives. Personally, I would try the manual option
first, but I haven't tried the cursor_sharing=force alternative.

Re: Creating a Reporting Instance

2001-11-26 Thread Casey Dyke

Whoops - rereading this and I notice I state All will receive I, U and
D activity.  One responder questioned how I could do this w/RO
snapshots.  Obviously can't.  The point I meant to make is I have to
manage an initial population of data and then the changes.  Fast refresh
would be my preference - hence the logs.  So, the method I'm leaning
toward is simple RO snapshots w/fast refresh.  No updateable snapshots
required.  

There is overhead (an extra  insert at least) on the PROD instance
associated w/snapshot logs, likewise triggers if I use them.  My
question is simply what do others do to avoid this overhead (if
anything) when handling incremental DML?  I can only assume that in very
high transaction environments, the logs/trigger approach would reduce
commit time and, in turn, application performance.  Does this present
concern to some?

Any and all comments much appreciated ... and thanks Mark for pointing
out my err ...

RE: Morpheus killed my Oracle! Help!

2001-11-26 Thread Reardon, Bruce (CALBBAY)

Hi,

I don't know what Morpheous is, but have you tried netstat -an to find out
which ports really are in use.

For example on my notebook:

rem no listener running

H:\netstat -an | find 1521

H:\
H:\lsnrctl start

rem and the listener output was here.

The command completed successfully

H:\netstat -an | find 1521
  TCP0.0.0.0:1521   0.0.0.0:0  LISTENING

H:\

so after listener was running I have something listening on port 1521.

Does your winnt\system32\drivers\etc\services file get updated by Morpheous?
If so, maybe it will tell you what ports are used.

When you try to start the listener service what gets written into the
listener log file?

HTH,
Bruce Reardon

Hi,

Unfortunatelly my Oracle runs under Windows Nt, so I have no inetd.conf  :-(

At 17:20 2001.11.25. -0800, you wrote:

Look in your /etc/services or inetd.conf file. 

It sounds like Morpheous still has a listener attached to the port and you
need to remove the reverence to 1521.  If inetd.conf needs editing you will
need to send a kill -1 to the inetd process to re read the inetd.conf

Hi,

I've installed Morpheus.
Right after that I couldn't attach to Oracle ( 8.1i under Windows Nt), 
because the 1521 port was already used.
(that's why the listener couldn't start)

I uninstalled Morpheus but the port is still used.
I've tried other ports but every one seems to be used.

RE: import

2001-11-26 Thread John Kanagaraj

Oto,

You will need to set the operating system environment variable NLS_LANG to
the one that was used for the export. (Just go back to the source system and
type in 'echo $NLS_LANG' and set the same value). This is *only* in case you
have NOT used the DIRECT=Y option - if you exported using the direct method,
you will need to export normal again and use this bypass. This is because
the Oracle kernel needs to be able to preserve the character set across
export/import, and DIRECT=Y avoids this translation buffer during export.

RE: rman question

2001-11-26 Thread John Kanagaraj

Lisa,
 
You must use RMAN for restore as the format of the backup pieces can be
understood only by RMAN. Since RMAN is an Oracle - internal process, it
reads the database a *DB* block  (or multiples thereof) at a time, rather
than the OS read an *OS* block at at time which could result in fractured
reads (which in turn necessitates full block redo logging during Hot backup
mode). This also means that RMAN can recognize empty blocks and thus skip
backup of these blocks - resulting in a small backup set in the beginning
that grows with database usage and activity... Lots of interesting stuff /
concepts can be found in the Recovery Manager user's guide and reference - a
must read if you are planning to user RMAN.

ACM SIGMOD-papers of interest #1

2001-11-26 Thread Henry Poras

Well, I'm way behind on my reading so I am just finishing a quick (?) skim
of the May proceedings of the 2001 ACM SIGMOD Conference on Management of
Data. There is some interesting stuff in there so I thought I would try to
review some of the high points I found. ACM SIGMOD is the Special Interest
Group on Management of Data from the Association for Computing Machinery.
You can join for just $20 and get totally swamped with CDs and publications.
(www.acm.org)

There are a few interesting articles. This is installment #1

DBMSs On A Modern Processor: Where Does Time Go?
(http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~natassa/papers/vldb99_paper.pdf)
Anastassia Ailamaki, David J. DeWitt, Mark D. Hill, David A. Wood
University of Wisconsin - Madison

from Proceedings of the 25th VLDB Conference, 1999

This paper was actually referenced in a paper from ACM SIGMOD 2001
(Improving Index Performance through Prefetching)

The main point is that even as we concentrate on increasing performance by
tuning IO, the hit from processor cache misses is becoming more important.
The increasing gap between processor speed and DRAM/disk speeds is
accentuating this problem. Most DBMSs focus on caching data in main memory
(buffer cache), but this ignores the caching of main memory in level 1 and
level 2 processor caches. Cache misses can account for 50% of execution
time.

In this paper, the authors examine four commercial (unnamed) DBMSs running
on a 6400 PII Intel Xeon/MT Workstation running Windows NT v4.0. The focus
is on the memory interactions, so to reduce IO effects, a memory resident
database is used (the buffer pool was large enough to hold the datasets for
the queries). Almost half the execution time was spent on stalls. The
breakdown is as follows:
*   90% of the stalls are from:
-second-level cache data misses
-first -level cache instruction misses
*   20% of the stalls are from subtle implemention details (e.g. branch
misdirection)

Analysis was done using simple queries (sequential range, index range,
sequential join). The results were compared to TPC-D (and TPC-C?) benchmarks
which yielded similar results. It thus appears reasonable to scale the
conclusions of this simple methodology to more complex scenarios. 

DETAILS
Query time = computation time + memory stalls + branch misdirection overhead
+ resource related stalls - overlap (some work can be done while waiting for
a stall).

Computation time is usually less than 1/2 of the execution time. Since
memory access times decrease more slowly than processor clock speeds, the
computation time componant will continue to decrease. Most of the workload
is also seen to be latency, not bandwidth bound (latency - how long it
takes.  bandwidth - how much you can do in a given time. If you are latency
bound, adding more processors won't help as the information isn't getting
there fast enough. [summarized from In Search of Clusters. thanks Ross])

Memory stall times vary more across different query types than across
different DBMSs. Memory stall is the most significant one of the three major
stall types. The bulk of the memory stall is from L1-information cache and
L2-data cache. It is possible, however, that tuning for one or two of the
stall types will just shift the bottleneck to the remaining stalls. Memory
stalls are also dependent on increasing record size [locality of data].

Henry

Hi,

I don't know what Morpheous is, but have you tried netstat -an to find out
which ports really are in use.

For example on my notebook:

When I type netstat then:

TCP nt:1026 localhost:025   ESTABLISHED
TCP nt:1076 10.0.0.17:1521  SYN_SENT

Thank you


H:\netstat -an | find 1521

rem and the listener output was here.

The command completed successfully

so after listener was running I have something listening on port 1521.

Does your winnt\system32\drivers\etc\services file get updated by Morpheous?
If so, maybe it will tell you what ports are used.

When you try to start the listener service what gets written into the
listener log file?

Hi,

I've installed Morpheus.
Right after that I couldn't attach to Oracle ( 8.1i under Windows Nt),
because the 1521 port was already used.
(that's why the listener couldn't start)

I uninstalled Morpheus but the port is still used.
I've tried other ports but every one seems to be used.

Re: Disabling Constraints

To disable a constraint:

alter table table-name disable constraint constraint-name ;

should do the trick.



Assuming you don't have any constraint violations, the following should
work just fine to enable the constraint:

alter table table-name enable constraint constraint-name ;

Buffer Busy Waits -- Sanity check please

Title: Buffer Busy Waits --  Sanity check please





We recently had a new website go live. Since then, I'm seeing constant buffer busy waits 
and after a period of time, I see sessions hung on the same block#. The SQL query
is always a COUNT(*) (below). It's almost as though one session has a lock
of some sort in the buffer cache and other sessions are blocked. Although, I've checked and 
there's no DML ongoing, so I'm unsure as to why we would see this. Note that v$session shows
78 and 393 to be INACTIVE, while 159 is ACTIVE. So it's like 159 can't write to
the buffer cache because 78 and 393 have a lock there. Note that these are all defined
as persistent connections, via the Vignette front-end. I'm sure all the clues are there
but my brain is too fuzzed to piece it together.

Well, I'm way behind on my reading so I am just finishing a quick (?) skim
of the May proceedings of the 2001 ACM SIGMOD Conference on Management of
Data. There is some interesting stuff in there so I thought I would try to
review some of the high points I found. ACM SIGMOD is the Special Interest
Group on Management of Data from the Association for Computing Machinery.
You can join for just $20 and get totally swamped with CDs and
publications.
(www.acm.org)

There are a few interesting articles. This is installment #1

DBMSs On A Modern Processor: Where Does Time Go?
(http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~natassa/papers/vldb99_paper.pdf)
Anastassia Ailamaki, David J. DeWitt, Mark D. Hill, David A. Wood
University of Wisconsin - Madison

from Proceedings of the 25th VLDB Conference, 1999

This paper was actually referenced in a paper from ACM SIGMOD 2001
(Improving Index Performance through Prefetching)

The main point is that even as we concentrate on increasing performance by
tuning IO, the hit from processor cache misses is becoming more important.
The increasing gap between processor speed and DRAM/disk speeds is
accentuating this problem. Most DBMSs focus on caching data in main memory
(buffer cache), but this ignores the caching of main memory in level 1 and
level 2 processor caches. Cache misses can account for 50% of execution
time.

In this paper, the authors examine four commercial (unnamed) DBMSs running
on a 6400 PII Intel Xeon/MT Workstation running Windows NT v4.0. The focus
is on the memory interactions, so to reduce IO effects, a memory resident
database is used (the buffer pool was large enough to hold the datasets for
the queries). Almost half the execution time was spent on stalls. The
breakdown is as follows:
*  90% of the stalls are from:
   -second-level cache data misses
   -first -level cache instruction misses
*  20% of the stalls are from subtle implemention details (e.g.
branch
misdirection)

Analysis was done using simple queries (sequential range, index range,
sequential join). The results were compared to TPC-D (and TPC-C?)
benchmarks
which yielded similar results. It thus appears reasonable to scale the
conclusions of this simple methodology to more complex scenarios.

DETAILS
Query time = computation time + memory stalls + branch misdirection
overhead
+ resource related stalls - overlap (some work can be done while waiting
for
a stall).

Computation time is usually less than 1/2 of the execution time. Since
memory access times decrease more slowly than processor clock speeds, the
computation time componant will continue to decrease. Most of the workload
is also seen to be latency, not bandwidth bound (latency - how long it
takes.  bandwidth - how much you can do in a given time. If you are latency
bound, adding more processors won't help as the information isn't getting
there fast enough. [summarized from In Search of Clusters. thanks Ross])

Memory stall times vary more across different query

Individual screens where users enter the occasional query with non-bound

Title: RE: Oracle 9.0.1.1.1 on Win2k: stalls during installation: 85% D





Hi Tom,


A week before i was tried to install oracle 9i on WinNT4(20GB Hard Disk, 128MB RAM). The software has been downloaded from Net.

In my pc, i already have oracle731. I had tried to install oracle9i in another home. I had been installed oracle server sucessfully, but

while creating the DB it failed by throwing our error message OUT of memory, there is no log, nothing. I cann't able to identify why is was happening.

Even i tried to increase the virtual memory too (I want to know is it helpful if we were in out of memory state?). 


Then what i did is, uninstalled Oracle731, and cleared all relavant registry entries, restart the PC, started to install ORa9i. 

This time, it has done nicely, no problem nothing. But i was confused why installer refering other versions of oracle to install ora9i, anyway we

are using different home, is't it?...


Ok, ur attachment is in binary format, so it's NOT useful for us. I didn't find any similar type of doc file in ora9i installer CD. Can you post it

in text format, if you don't mind.


Another thing is, I would go into the registry and remove all traces of Oracle. -- How can do this, do you mean that, just search for

oracle9i or something similar like this and remove from the registery?


Thanks in advance 


Rgds,
Nirmal.

Dan,


It sounds like the 817 install left some trash around. 


If I were you, [Nirmal Kumar Muthu Kumaran]  I would go into the registry and remove all traces of Oracle.
Then, reboot the win2k box and try your install again.


Attached is the Create a clean machine document that I obtained a few
years back from an Oracle install disk. I have used it many times, and it
*always* solves install problems on NT for me. The trick is to remove all
traces, and reboot to make sure that all dll's have been purged from the
system.


Hope this helps!

For that past few weeks, I have not for life of me been able to get
Oracle 9.0.1.1.1 (free download) installed on my Win2k box. 


I can install it just fine on the same box inside of a Vmware WinXP Pro

(Enterprise - not the free download) but I have uninstalled it. 


When I install Oracle 9.0.1.1.1 (using Personal), it goes fine until
the screen where you select your database (General, Transactions, none,
etc.). (No matter what I select) I click next, and it runs some
calculations, the bar at the top gets to 85% Database Configuration
Assistant and then locks up. My only option is to click the x in the
top right and quit the installer.


Since I can install it just fine on a new box, then I know that the
reason this is happening has something to do with the sofwtare I already
have installed. Can anyone recommend a course of action (rather than
nuke-and-repave)? Thanks,

Is the CREATE ANY TRIGGER privilege required in order for a user to
create a trigger on another user's table? Oracle8: The Complete

privilege for the table and the CREATE TRIGGER privilege. It seems
to say that CREATE ANY TRIGGER is only required if the trigger is
to be created in another schema. However, as USER1, I can't get 
the following to work without it:
