RE: unused blocks BELOW HWM - Thanks
Title: RE: unused blocks BELOW HWM - Thanks I agree with your reasoning Dennis. I have long felt that one of the problems with the list is that the original raiser of the question should have some sort of responsibility for summarising the various responses and posting a short summarised reply showing the solutions(s) that worked for him/her This type of question where various solutions were proposed is the ideal candidate for this type of summarised response. I used to be on a Unix list and that strategy was used quite well there.

RE: hard disk configuration question
First what use are the two internal drives that aren't in the disk array? Someone suggested to WRT them, and I am not familiar with that term. Again I am not sure I want to mirror them, and if they aren't redundant how useful can they really be? WRT is an acronym for With regards to ;) And the advice about installing the O.S and patches on to these drives (maybe mirrored) seems sound to me. Second. If an 8k database block size is tiny, what is a large database block size? 8k is as large as I can go without raw file systems, isn't it? I *believe* (though have never seen) that you can have a 16k block size on HP, so maybe other platforms will allow this as well.. HTH Mark -Original Message- McClure Sent: 19 December 2001 02:25 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Well we had our meeting with the Hitachi Sales critter, and engineer. I discovered that they were trying to push a 5 disk raid array and one hot spare at us, because my IT director was really trying to squeeze them on the price of my 10 18GB disk configuration. After the sales guy and engineer went on about how their 4 separate IO paths would make our raid 5 perform as well as any mirrored pair, I got to ask a few questions. Well it turns out that their RAID performs that well with extra large database block sizes. When I pointed out that we currently have a block size of 2k(I didn't build the db), and would be rebuilding the database on the new platform with 8k blocks, he said that with a small block size like 8k you will really get the best performance out of mirrors or a 1+0. I am sure the sales guy kicked him under the table ;-). The end result is this. We will probably go with the 6 36 GB DISKS. It flat out comes down to the cost of the whole system is just a little over budget, and the drives are where the adjustment gets made. I suspect that I will have much less trouble getting a few extra disks once the system is in the building. I may also mess with things a bit and configure a 1+0 and a mirrored pair. So after that discussion, and all your helpful input I still have two questions. First what use are the two internal drives that aren't in the disk array? Someone suggested to WRT them, and I am not familiar with that term. Again I am not sure I want to mirror them, and if they aren't redundant how useful can they really be? Second.

RE: Weid exp/imp problem
Title: Weid exp/imp problem
This
error is coming because at the time of adding foreign key constraint ,
referencing primary key is not available.
You
can avoid this error by creating a similar schema in the user in which you are
taking the import and then import data
with
parameter "ignore=Y".

Performance problem .... HELP :-(
Title: Performance problem HELP :-( Hi all, Hoping someone can shed some light on a problem I have. We a particular cursor in a batch program running in production at a client site which has suddenly decided to work really badly. The program hasn't been changed but I think the customer has done some sort of reorg on the database. I traced the program on their server and also on a copy of the database on our server (our copy taken before the reorg) As can be seen from the tkprof output from a trace on the program for about an hour theirs does a lot of buffer IO for few rows returned compared to ours. The execution path in the explain is the same but the row counts down the side are different. Does anyone have any idea why this would be happening or what further investigation I can do. All access is via PK so it should be flying like the second example.

Re: temporary tablespace estimation.
Hatzistavrou Giannis wrote: Dear All, I have the following questions to make: a) In a select statement where there is no order by or group by clause but parallel query servers are used, do these servers use temporary tablespace segments? Quite likely, if the volume requires it. 'Temporary space', as the name indicates, holds data in the course of processing, before Oracle is able to reach the final result. With parallel query servers, each one fetches a partial result set, which has to be stored somewhere before everything is merged. Even if you have no 'sort', you have a 'merge' phase.

RE: Weid exp/imp problem
You can handle this by two ways. The first is running the imp in two times. And the second imp with rows=n and ignore=y. On the other hand, you can create all the objects with the constraints INITIALLY DEFERRED. With the precaution that you can not undo the mode of the constraint with an alter table command. Therefore, you could do it with INITIALLY IMMEDIATE the default mode, but it would hurt the performance of the import. To get the stmts of creation, you can run the imp with show=y and get all the stmts or if you have 9i you could use DBMS_METADATA package.

So except for the 1 bad record all the rows are committed in the database. But when my colleagues ran the same file using the same control file at the client site, the log file showed rows loaded properly and 1 record not loaded due to data errors, but when I checked the count from the table, the count was 0. None of the rows were committed becuase of the 1 rejected record. Why does this happen ? Why are the rows not committed as it should have been as the SQl loader commits at the end of the loading. Is this beacuse of any setting in the parameter file or any other parameters missing in the control file of the SQL loader.

Cherie, I am not sure that this really relates to your problem but if I think that you should consider partitioning more in relation to physical degradation (containment) and ease of maintenance (especially the ability to truncate partitions) than in terms of pure performance, especially on a 'clean' database. I have never found the argument 'you scan a single partition' very compelling when your data is properly indexed. I have carried out experiments recently and I was surprised to discover that the best results I had were gained by partitioning on a column which was updated (allowing for row migration) and not on the one I thought was the obvious candidate. Update was unsurprisingly twice as costly as in the other cases, but given the special mix of queries is still was the best overall, especially after a lot of inserts and deletes.

We've had bugs all over the place with regard to partitioning, star transformation, etc.These problems are with just plain, vanilla tables. Our developers are very reluctant to try newer functionality because we have so many bugs already. They think that newer functionality will have even more bugs.

Have fun, Waleed -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 1:46 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L We are doing a redesign of our 200-Gig data warehouse in 9i. One of the things we're thinking about is changing which columns we partition on. Currently, we partition exclusively on date fields. This has proven extremely helpful for doing maintenance, purging old data, archiving, etc. However, I feel that we're getting minimal benefit with regard to partition pruning. Very few of our most-used queries and reports even include the date field that we are partitioning on. Instead, we usually query primarily on account number, rep number, etc. which is a much more selective column. With indexes (and little partition pruning), we are getting response times that are not fantastic but are within tolerable range. However, as the warehouse gets larger, these response times get less and less acceptable. Hence this redesign. Many of our indexes are not even locally partitioned. I can change them to be locally partitioned. The primary key ones can't be locally partitioned unless they include the columns (date) that the table is partitioned on. Although the queries that use these primary key indexes don't even include date clauses, I could still add the date field to the index so that it can be locally partitioned. However, this doesn't seem like a great idea in most cases. Currently, we seldom seem to be doing any partition pruning in our explain plans. We seem to use indexes that don't include date columns instead. I'm not sure if the indexes would work better if they had the date column in them, especially if the date column had to be the leading column in the index. Although the partitions would then be pruned, I don't think the query would perform as well as it would with a global partitioned index (or even a non-partitioned index) where the acct_no (or whatever highly selective column) is the leading column in the index. I've tried to do some testing on this but the results haven't been conclusive because I can't test in production and I don't think my test database is large enough to give correct test results. Now to my question: In this sort of situation, should I settle for being able to either use date partitioning for maintenance benefits only, or to partition by the columns that I most often query on like acct_no so that I can prune by partition. Or is there some magical hybrid situation where I can have both ease of maintenance and partition pruning for performance? If yes, what sort of magical partitioning strategy do I need to use? Thanks for any insights you can offer. Also, I've been reading Scaling Oracle8i but it's more aimed at OLTP. Can anyone offer

Re: Deciding what columns to partition on
Jared/Stephane, It is true that a lot of our queries don't lend themselves to locally partitioned indexes. I tried to convert some globally partitioned indexes to locally partitioned ones with fairly poor results. It sort of like trying to force a square peg into a round hole. I just wish that our warehouse was a nice, neat, tidy, textbook one that responded perfectly to all of the recommendations experts make in their books.

Book recommendation for 9i or 8i data warehousing
Looking for a good book on data warehousing design and physical implementation that includes recommendations on new features for 9i and 8i. I'm hoping to find something that outlines best practices based on the realities of what is out there and released right now. A lot of the functionality that is touted for data warehouses is and/or was buggy and not working as intended. I'd rather not spend a lot of time designing around features that don't really work. On the other hand, if these things are really working, what works best. I'm also interested in white papers, web sites, etc. Thanks in advance, Cherie Machler Oracle DBA Gelco Information Network -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California-- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

Forms60 Server as a service and mapped drives
I configured my Forms 6i service to run as an NT service using the Local Administrator account instead of SYSTEM, because we are using mapped drives to cram more pointers into forms60_path.

When I run the forms server as an NT service however, I get errors on the browsers telling me that the form files could not be found. In the Oracle Support forum one technical analyst stated that changing the user for the nt service from system to another account would solve the problem, because system cannot see mapped drives. I set the user to local administrator, but the forms server still cannot find the form files. I logged a TAR, now another analyst told me I must run the forms server as a process from the command line, because the service does not see mapped drives.

RE: recovery during refresh
You can SOMETIMES get away with copying online redo logs when in hot backup mode, IF there is no to little database activity during the hot backup step. BUT I would not do it as a general practice just for the reasons you are experiencing. CONTROL FILES AND ONLINE REDO LOG FILES SHOULD NOT BE BACKED UP WHILE THE DATABASE IS ACTIVE.

Converting from ASCII7 to UTF8
We are planning on converting our 240-Gig data warehouse (will be 8.1.7.2 on Sun Solaris 2.6) from character set ASCII7 to UTF8. Has anybody had any experience in doing this? If you have, what pitfalls, problems, etc. did you encounter? Anything that we need to watch out for? What about longs? A particular concern for our database owners is whether this conversion will increase the size of the database. Anybody know of any anecdotal evidence either way?

RE: Performance problem .... HELP :-(
Did they rebuild their indexes after this reorg? It could be that they simply exported/imported the table without rebuilding the appropriate indexes? Just a thought.. Mark -Original Message- Ian Sent: 19 December 2001 12:55 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi Stephane, Thanks for writing back, I would normally look at some hints or something like that but as far as I can tell it's going through the tables in the correct way. My problem is when we run it on a Production copy on my server we don't get that big number against that table. The tkprof explain shows the access path as the same in both cases. Could it be doing it differently when it actually executes? The only difference is their dba has done some sort of reorg since we got our copy of the database.

What blinks before my eyes is this : 179385326 INDEX GOAL: ANALYZED (RANGE SCAN) OF 'RATE_SCHEDULE_LINK_PK' (UNIQUE) Oracle chooses to access a PK, but as an alternative to scanning what looks like a table implementing a (n-n) relationship of death. In other words, it is taking the query by the wrong end. Check what you want (the select list), what you feed in (criteria), and try to coax Oracle in doing it logically, starting from the table for which the best, in terms of selectivity, criterion has been provided.

Re: Redo logs lost, old backups
Hi Maser, I am not sure this work or not. Actually my suggestion is call oracle support before you do anything. Just for your reference. 1) BACKUP the current situation with the database closed. The instructions here are destructive. You are STRONGLY advised to backup the current situation before proceeding. If you do NOT do this you may lose the chance to try other options. 2) If your datafiles are from different points in time it is best to try to use system tablespace files at a similar timestamp to the OLDEST files you have online in the database. This reduces the chance that you will get problems during the bootstrap phase of opening the database. 3) Edit your initSID.ora file and set: _ALLOW_RESETLOGS_CORRUPTION = TRUE _CORRUPTED_ROLLBACK_SEGMENTS = list of all rollback segments Comment out any 'ROLLBACK_SEGMENTS= ' clause. 4) Invoke either server manager (svrmgrl) or SQL*DBA and issue the commands below: connect internal startup mount select * from v$datafile; ... Check here that all files you want to open with are listed as ONLINE (or as SYSTEM). If not: ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 'full_path_to_file' ONLINE; until all required files are listed as online. ... RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL CANCEL; or RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL; At the prompt enter the word: Cancel ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS; 5) If this works you should attempt to export the database IMMEDIATELY. Once you have an export the database must be recreated from scratch. This means dropping and deleting ALL datafiles and creating a new database from scratch. A database which has been opened in this way, but not rebuilt will not be supported by Oracle. Any delay in extracting the contents, or any attempt to use the system may cause irreparable damage. NOTE: Be sure to remove the init.ora parameters added in step 3 otherwise you may accidentally corrupt any new database created using the same init.ora file. 6) It is possible that the OPEN RESETLOGS may fail with an error, or that accessing the data (eg: using export) may fail with an error. In this case note down the exact error and identify any trace files produced then contact Oracle Support Services with this information. Depending on the errors it may be possible to proceed further.

RE: How to backup MTS database with RMAN
Title: How to backup MTS database with RMAN Helmut, From the Oracle Documentation: To use RMAN with an MTS database: Net8 configuration varies greatly from system to system. The following procedure illustrates only one method. This scenario assumes that the following net service name in the tnsnames.ora file connects to the target database using the MTSarchitecture, where inst1 is a value of the SERVICE_NAMES initialization parameter: inst1_mts = (description= (address=(protocol=tcp)(host=inst1_host)(port1521)) (connect_data=(service_name=inst1)(server=shared)) ) 1.Create a net service name in the tnsnames.ora file that connects to the non-shared SID. For example, enter: inst1_ded = (description= (address=(protocol=tcp)(host=inst1_host)(port1521)) (connect_data=(service_name=inst1)(server=dedicated)) ) 2.Connect using SQL*Plus using both the MTS and dedicated service names to confirm the mode of each session. For example, toconnect to a dedicated session you can issue: SQL connect sys/oracle@inst1_ded Connected. SQL SELECT server FROM v$session WHERE sid = (SELECT DISTINCT sid FROM v$mystat); SERVER - DEDICATED 1 row selected. To connect to an MTS session, you can issue: SQL connect sys/oracle@inst1_mtsConnected.SQL SELECT server FROM v$session WHERE sid = (SELECT DISTINCT sid FROM v$mystat); SERVER -SHARED 1 row selected. Connect to the target database (and optionally the recovery catalog) using the dedicated service name. For example, enter: % rman target sys/oracle@inst1_ded catalog rman/rman@rcat HTH Tom Mercadante Oracle Certified Professional -Original Message-From: Daiminger, Helmut [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 8:25 AMTo: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-LSubject: How to backup MTS database with RMAN Hi!

HTH Mark -Original Message- McClure Sent: 19 December 2001 02:25 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Well we had our meeting with the Hitachi Sales critter, and engineer. I discovered that they were trying to push a 5 disk raid array and one hot spare at us, because my IT director was really trying to squeeze them on the price of my 10 18GB disk configuration. After the sales guy and engineer went on about how their 4 separate IO paths would make our raid 5 perform as well as any mirrored pair, I got to ask a few questions. Well it turns out that their RAID performs that well with extra large database block sizes. When I pointed out that we currently have a block size of 2k(I didn't build the db), and would be rebuilding the database on the new platform with 8k blocks, he said that with a small block size like 8k you will really get the best performance out of mirrors or a 1+0. I am sure the sales guy kicked him under the table ;-). The end result is this. We will probably go with the 6 36 GB DISKS. It flat out comes down to the cost of the whole system is just a little over budget, and the drives are where the adjustment gets made. I suspect that I will have much less trouble getting a few extra disks once the system is in the building. I may also mess with things a bit and configure a 1+0 and a mirrored pair.

Synonyms causing a strange problem-Solved.
Greetings fellow DBAs: I just dealt with a problem I personally haven't run into before and thought that members of this list might be interested in reviewing: User-A owns all of a set of objects on Database Primary-DB including tables Table-1 through Table-100. User-B also exists on Primary-DB, has no tables of its own, but has been granted read access to some of the User A tables, specifically tables Table-1 through Table-9. A developer wants me to create and populate two tables in User-B's schema. Those tables are to be called exactly the same name and have pretty much the same data as two of the tables in User-A's schema, specifically Table-6 and Table-7. To accomplish this, he gives me an export from another database called Secondary-DB with just those two tables in it. I try to import the two tables into User-B's schema on Primary-DB. The import fails and I get the message Table or view already exists. I'm surprised at this since the User-B schema doesn't have any tables defined in it. To verify, I connect to the database as User-B and do a SQL select table_name from user_tables; SQL No rows selected. Result: There are indeed no tables in User-B's schema. Yet on attempting to import Table-6 and Table-7 into User-B's schema, it tells me it can't do so because those tables already exist! To make a long story short, the solution to this enigma is the following: I came to find out that there had been a bunch of synonyms defined, among which were these two: SQL create synonym User-B.Table-6 for User-A.Table-6; SQL create synonym User-B.Table-7 for User-A.Table-7; so that when I tried to import Table-6 and Table-7 into User-B's schema, the synonyms made Oracle think that they already existed. I dropped the two offending synonyms: SQL drop synonym User-B.Table-6; SQL drop synonym User-B.Table-7; after which the import worked just fine and all was well. Just thought some of you out there might be interested...

Mabye OT: Was Re: Different clocks for different instances.
Speaking of the system clock, here's something interesting that I stumbled across a few years back... Background: For those of you who may not know, the Julian calendar was abandoned by England, in favor of the Gregorian calendar, in 1752 because of date discrepancies. To facilitate this, September 3 - 13 were eliminated. This is actually reflected in UNIX (well, Solaris anyway) by issuing the 'cal 1752' command and looking at the month of September: Jul Aug Sep S M Tu W Th F S S M Tu W Th F S S M Tu W Th F S 1 2 3 4 1 1 2 14 15 16 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 26 27 28 29 30 31 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 More info. on why the switch over occurred is available at http://www.bicknell.net/books/pc1981/p_calender.htm, for those of you with morbid curiosity. Anyway - I was doing some Y2K testing a few years back, and playing with NLS_DATE_FORMAT queries when I learned this little tidbit. I decided to test the Oracle date formats because - hey - they'll be okay because they're based on Unix, right? Wrong: Issue the following query: select sysdate ,add_months(sysdate,-2988) ,add_months(sysdate,-2988) - 10 from dual; And see the following results: SYSDATE ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,- ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,- 19-DEC-2001 10:07:02 19-DEC-1752 10:07:02 09-DEC-1752 10:07:02 The third column represents a date which, technically, does not exist. : ) Brian Kimberly Smith wrote: Oracle uses the system clock.

Max data file size on NTFS partition
Hello to all my most favorite DBAs... Yes, believe it or not, I checked the archives, Metalink and Oracle documentation, but all come up with a different answer to my question. What is the max data file size for an NTFS partition on Advanced Server? I'm running Oracle 8i Release 2 8.1.6 Standard...soon to be Enterprise. The Oracle 8i documentation states 80EB on an NTFS partition, but I've seen reference to 4GB limits everywhere else. Quite different, wouldn't you say? The reason I'm asking the question is we keep running into errors. The most common were, write/open error block X invalid parameter passed and unable to extend file X. I would appreciate any help. I'm new, so please be gentle...

for those of you with morbid curiosity.
Anyway - I was doing some Y2K testing a few years back, and playing with
NLS_DATE_FORMAT queries when I learned this little tidbit. I decided to
test the Oracle date formats because - hey - they'll be okay because they're
based on Unix, right?
Wrong: Issue the following query:
select sysdate
,add_months(sysdate,-2988)
,add_months(sysdate,-2988) - 10 from dual;
And see the following results:
SYSDATE
ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,- ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-
19-DEC-2001 10:07:02
19-DEC-1752 10:07:02 09-DEC-1752 10:07:02
The third column represents a date which, technically, does not
exist. : )

RE: Converting from ASCII7 to UTF8
Title: RE: Converting from ASCII7 to UTF8 This can be done pretty easily using SharePlex for Oracle. It's able to replicate between different character sets, platforms, DB versions.. It can also handle your long columns as well. As for the concern of database space... you'll probably gain back a lot of space, since you'll eventually be doing an import/export of the database... any fragmentation of the tables or indexes will be removed. You could even partition/index the tables differently to take advantage of the reports that are run to help optimize the system.

RE: Encryption - Question about the key
Jared (King of all Perl and Oracle)... I have a guy I work with sitting next to me who is having some problems with getting DBI to work after an Oracle 8i (8.1.7 HPUX) upgrade from 8.0.6. Everything worked fine before the upgrade. Oracle was installed in a new home. Perl was also installed in a new location (5.6.1). He is using DBI 1.20 and attempting to install the DBD-Oracle-1.12 drivers. During Makefile.PL compile he is hitting a Unable to interpret Oracle oci build commands. Using fallback approach warning. After that pretty much everything else goes wrong. The HPUX readme file says to add in a couple of options to the Perl build to get rid of dld.sl related errors. He did that but is still getting errors for the dld.sh library. It says Can't shl_load() a library containing Thread Storage: /usr/libt/baseFAILED tests 4-5 and then a bunch more errors related to this. The Perl installation was installed after the Oracle upgrade. An earlier version of Perl was alrady installed but was generating core dumps. The initial solution was to upgrade Perl. I can post log files and such if you want. Would really appreciate some pointers on this one. Internet searches have not turned up much.

NLS_DATE_FORMAT queries when I learned this little tidbit. I decided to
test the Oracle date formats because - hey - they'll be okay because they're
based on Unix, right?
Wrong: Issue the following query:
select sysdate

,add_months(sysdate,-2988) - 10
from dual;
And see the following results:
SYSDATE ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,- ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-
19-DEC-2001 10:07:02 19-DEC-1752 10:07:02 09-DEC-1752 10:07:02
The third column represents a date which, technically, does not exist. : )

Re: Max data file size on NTFS partition
Hi Ashley, Sorry, don't know exact answer, but the problem doesn't always come from OS side. There are *Oracle* limits on some platforms. It seems you use AUTOEXTEND=ON for your files. If so then you may encountered some bugs when your files had extended through size limits. At least there were some bugs in the past. I prefer disabling this option in order to get more control over db and add files when needed. All files are of equal size. Regards, Ed Hello to all my most favorite DBAs... Yes, believe it or not, I checked the archives, Metalink and Oracle documentation, but all come up with a different answer to my question. What is the max data file size for an NTFS partition on Advanced Server? I'm running Oracle 8i Release 2 8.1.6 Standard...soon to be Enterprise. The Oracle 8i documentation states 80EB on an NTFS partition, but I've seen reference to 4GB limits everywhere else. Quite different, wouldn't you say? The reason I'm asking the question is we keep running into errors. The most common were, write/open error block X invalid parameter passed and unable to extend file X. I would appreciate any help. I'm new, so please be gentle...

Speaking of the system clock, here's something interesting that I stumbled
across a few years back...
Background: For those of you who may not know, the Julian calendar was
abandoned by England, in favor of the Gregorian calendar, in 1752 because of
date discrepancies. To facilitate this, September 3 - 13 were eliminated.
This is actually reflected in UNIX (well, Solaris anyway) by issuing the
'cal 1752' command and looking at the month of September:

A couple of questions: When Perl was compiled, was 'make test' run, and did it run without error? When building DBD::Oracle: is the newer version of Perl being used and the old one gone from PATH? Is ORACLE_HOME set for 8i, is LD_LIBRARY_PATH set appropriately and all references to 8.0 gone from the environment? A few posts with the same error message on other plaforms suggest a problem with the C compiler. On Solaris for instance, the std /usr/ucb/cc will not compile Perl properly.

I have a guy I work with sitting next to me who is having some problems with getting DBI to work after an Oracle 8i (8.1.7 HPUX) upgrade from 8.0.6. Everything worked fine before the upgrade. Oracle was installed in a new home. Perl was also installed in a new location (5.6.1). He is using DBI 1.20 and attempting to install the DBD-Oracle-1.12 drivers. During Makefile.PL compile he is hitting a Unable to interpret Oracle oci build commands. Using fallback approach warning. After that pretty much everything else goes wrong. The HPUX readme file says to add in a couple of options to the Perl build to get rid of dld.sl related errors. He did that but is still getting errors for the dld.sh library. It says Can't shl_load() a library containing Thread Storage: /usr/libt/baseFAILED tests 4-5 and then a bunch more errors related to this. The Perl installation was installed after the Oracle upgrade. An earlier version of Perl was alrady installed but was generating core dumps. The initial solution was to upgrade Perl. I can post log files and such if you want. Would really appreciate some pointers on this one. Internet searches have not turned up much.

I am posting this for a co-worker. Anyone seen this before? Seems like there should be an easy answer to this. It's Oracle 8.1.7 on Redhat Linux. Thanks, Marc Perkowitz I am receiving the following Oracle error from a PL/SQL procedure when it attempts to execute a line of code like this: p_out_parameter (of type varchar2) := v_variable (of type varchar2(1023)); Error: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small If the length of the string stored in v_variable is greater than 256 characters I get the error, otherwise I do not. I have tried explicitly setting the type of p_out_parameter to a table column of type varchar2(2000), but I still get the error. Apparently, the out parameter has a buffer capacity of 256 characters. Does anyone know how to increase the buffer capacity? -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Marc Perkowitz INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California-- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

RE: Encryption - Question about the key
No problems with this system; troubleshooting has not been an issue. The key is actually also stored in management's hidden place of choice (I have no knowledge; it's probably in all likelihood either a cleartext file in email or on a few people's hard drives.) But changing keys is something we're going to need to do, especially as attrition sets in. I had suggested keeping another column on each row as a sort of key sequence (if we convert from one key to another organically as the app uses the data) or key seeding value. You could potentially store millions of keys in a table further obfuscating the true key -- again -- the main idea here is to split the key management work into the application logic to make it more difficult to get the true key. Key management is just as tricky as all the other parts, and certainly what we're doing is a lot better than plainly storing the key in the database, but it's got its own weaknesses. I like the idea of using a hardware device to store/manage the keys -- and have all the encrypt/decrypt happen there, so the key is never sent anywhere. That's about as secure as you can get. As long as you implicitly trust that device .. and have a backup of it so there's no single point of failure.. The way I look at security is (mostly) working to keep the honest people honest. You won't *stop* the truly malicious; your best bet is to set traps to alert yourself to their presence and hope to the deity of choice that they fall for your honeypots.

I further suggested that they split the key into parts and allow the DBA, root, and the application owner to put in parts to derive the actual key that is not stored anywhere, but exists only in the memory of the app. This did not go over well. :) We're also looking at procedures to change the keys, since any set of encrypted data is a target, and if you change the keys, it's a moving target. hope this is interesting if not amusing. sa -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 3:55 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Believe it or not Jared, one of your script gave me following idea (the wrapper sql for decrypt/encrypt on your site). 1. I have a system users table, I can add a column to store user's key in a column that only that user has access to. 2. Create a DBA owned package to handle encryption/decryption. 3. The key will be picked up in this package and used (maybe I'll use user key is used to derive the actual key). 4.

9i
Good Afternoon
I am being faced with the 'opportunity' to likely have to install 9i on our
production box. I don't have a test environment on which to install. We
are running on AIX. Does anyone know what issues exist with 9? Yes, I
know that they are going to release another version after the first of the
year, but AIX is almost as at end of the line as VMS in the release chain.
Thanks in advance for any clues.

It means the tnsnames.ora file on these two machines(or one machine) should contain SERVER=DEDICATED line. Maybe only application box can use shared-mode(server=shared). example: SHAGGY = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.25)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = SHAGGY) (server = dedicated) ) ) Kevin Wang - Original Message - From: Daiminger, Helmut To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 5:25 AM Subject: How to backup MTS database with RMAN Hi! Since I'm pretty new to RMAN I have a rather basic question: is it possible to backup databases running in multithreaded server mode with RMAN? Or does this have to be dedicated server mode? $ rman target sys/@kpmgi rcvcat rman/x@admserv Recovery Manager: Release 8.1.7.2.0 - Production RMAN-06005: connected to target database: KPMGI (DBID=3995384462) RMAN-06008: connected to recovery catalog database RMAN register database; RMAN-03022: compiling command: register RMAN-03023: executing command: register RMAN-08006: database registered in recovery catalog RMAN-03023: executing command: full resync RMAN-03026: error recovery releasing channel resources RMAN-00571: === RMAN-00569: === ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS === RMAN-00571: === RMAN-07005: error during channel cleanup RMAN-07004: unhandled exception during command execution on channel default RMAN-10035: exception raised in RPC: ORA-19550: cannot use backup/restore functions while using dispatcher RMAN-10031: ORA-19550 occurred during call to DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.CFILEUSECURRENT RMAN-03008: error while performing automatic resync of recovery catalog RMAN-07004: unhandled exception during command execution on channel default RMAN-10035: exception raised in RPC: ORA-19550: cannot use backup/restore functions while using dispatcher RMAN-10031: ORA-19550 occurred during call to DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.CFILEMAKEANDUSESNAPSHOT Do I just have to take out mts_dispatchers = "(protocol=TCP)" from the init.ora file?

Re: Max data file size on NTFS partition
I don't have any problems with 5GB files (564K to be precise, LMT tablespace) on 8.1.5, NT.

Yes, believe it or not, I checked the archives, Metalink and Oracle documentation, but all come up with a different answer to my question. What is the max data file size for an NTFS partition on Advanced Server? I'm running Oracle 8i Release 2 8.1.6 Standard...soon to be Enterprise. The Oracle 8i documentation states 80EB on an NTFS partition, but I've seen reference to 4GB limits everywhere else. Quite different, wouldn't you say? The reason I'm asking the question is we keep running into errors. The most common were, write/open error block X invalid parameter passed and unable to extend file X. I would appreciate any help. I'm new, so please be gentle...

Enable Constraint
I am having problems re-enabling a foreign key constraint on a large table. The table with the foreign key constraint has 20M rows and the parent table has 1M rows. The foreign key constraint references the primary key of the parent table. I am surprised that the re-enabling is taking so long - 25minutes. I thought that for each record in the foreign key table, a lookup would be done for the existence of a corresponding primary key in the parent table. I though that this should be relatively quick due to the fact that the column is a primary key and therefore indexed. Am I missing something here? Am I being too critical of the time it takes to do 20M index lookups? Am I mistaken about how a foreign key constraint is re-enabled? Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

RE: Redo logs lost, old backups
Please provide an update as to whether this worked or not, I would be interested in knowing. Thanks, Ethan -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 10:15 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi Maser, I am not sure this work or not. Actually my suggestion is call oracle support before you do anything. Just for your reference. 1) BACKUP the current situation with the database closed. The instructions here are destructive. You are STRONGLY advised to backup the current situation before proceeding. If you do NOT do this you may lose the chance to try other options. 2) If your datafiles are from different points in time it is best to try to use system tablespace files at a similar timestamp to the OLDEST files you have online in the database. This reduces the chance that you will get problems during the bootstrap phase of opening the database. 3) Edit your initSID.ora file and set: _ALLOW_RESETLOGS_CORRUPTION = TRUE _CORRUPTED_ROLLBACK_SEGMENTS = list of all rollback segments Comment out any 'ROLLBACK_SEGMENTS= ' clause. 4) Invoke either server manager (svrmgrl) or SQL*DBA and issue the commands below: connect internal startup mount select * from v$datafile; ... Check here that all files you want to open with are listed as ONLINE (or as SYSTEM). If not: ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 'full_path_to_file' ONLINE; until all required files are listed as online. ... RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL CANCEL; or RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL; At the prompt enter the word: Cancel ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS; 5) If this works you should attempt to export the database IMMEDIATELY. Once you have an export the database must be recreated from scratch. This means dropping and deleting ALL datafiles and creating a new database from scratch. A database which has been opened in this way, but not rebuilt will not be supported by Oracle. Any delay in extracting the contents, or any attempt to use the system may cause irreparable damage. NOTE: Be sure to remove the init.ora parameters added in step 3 otherwise you may accidentally corrupt any new database created using the same init.ora file. 6) It is possible that the OPEN RESETLOGS may fail with an error, or that accessing the data (eg: using export) may fail with an error. In this case note down the exact error and identify any trace files produced then contact Oracle Support Services with this information. Depending on the errors it may be possible to proceed further.

I have no idea how, and will leave it to the SysAdmin to figure out what happened and how to prevent it from happening again. I am not in archivelog mode and normally take nightly cold backups. If at all possible, I need to recover these databases. The other problem is that my backup script was broken and (during my absence, I should never have taken a 2 week honeymoon!) no backups were taken. So, I'm working with 2 week old cold backup, and wondered if anyone knows a way (unsupported, of course) to recover the tablespaces that hold data with the old system datafile? I have tried all methods of recovery I could come up with to get the database to start without the logfiles, (using recover ... using backup controlfile, rebuilding controlfile) ... but always end up with a message that the system tablespace needs media recovery. I took a cold backup of the mess before I started tinkering with it, and I'm willing to try anything. Any ideas?
