RE: A RMAN question

2002-03-21 Thread SARKAR, Samir

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for replying. I guess I have not been able to make my question clear.
You see, I need to backup only the cloned database on server B and NOT the 
database on server A. My scenario is as follows :

 The main db on server A is a partitioned data warehouse system and we r 
 planning to copy over the data files and the control files every night to
 the cloned db on server B. Thereafter, we will b taking a RMAN backup of
the
 cloned db on server B only.
 As I said, RMAN writes the backup info on the target database's control
files
 when it takes the backup. I also said that we plan to take a full backup on

 Sundays and incremental backup on the other days.
 
My confusion was :

 Say, RMAN takes a backup of the database on the cloned db on server B
 on a Monday. On MOnday night as per procedure, the control files and 
 the database files from the main db on server A are copied over to server 
 B. On Tuesday, will RMAN b happy taking the incremental backup again 
 of the cloned db on server B even though it finds that the control files
 r different than the ones it wrote the backup info to the previous day ??
 Or will it get confused and prompt for a FULL backup ??

Any ideas from anybody would b appreciated a lot.

Regards,
Samir

Samir - We have found that each Oracle database has an internal ID. This ID
doesn't change when you clone it as you describe. RMAN uses this ID, and
will become confused if it sees two databases that are identical. One way
around this is to run two RMAN catalogs. I have not considered it an
advantage to use RMAN with the control file (non-catalog) option, so I
haven't considered all the ramifications there.
Have you looked at the RMAN DUPLICATE command to clone the database?

Hi All,

Though I have been using RMAN for quite a while now, I would like to ask for
a clarification
here. 

We have a production database with partitioning options on  server A. We
copy over the files
(including the control files) of the prod database each night to a server B.
We will then be using
RMAN to backup the database on server. We intend to take a Full backup on
Sundays and Incrementals
on all weekdays.
I know that when we take a RMAN backup, it writes information about that
task to the target database's
control files which is precisely why we need not have a catalog database
necessarily.

My question is when RMAN takes a backup once, will it return an error when
tries to take an
incremental backup a second time since we have replaced the control files
overnight ?? I mean,
will RMAN be happy with taking an INCREMENTAL backup of the database even if
it finds that the 
control files on which it had written the backup info the previous night
have been replaced with a 
new set of control files ?? Will it prompt for a full backup ???

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Samir

Re: Another partitioning question

2002-03-21 Thread Jonathan Lewis


If your requirement is very strictly limited, so that
a) you want to have the flag column ('X') as the first
column of the partition

b) the flag is strictly a single character

c) you are using a character set where 'W' sorts immediately before
'X'

then the best you can do to meet the requirements
you describe has two partitions for the not-X values
and as many as you like for the X values using:

partition Pre_X values less than ('W',maxvalue),
partition PX_100 values less than ('X', 100),
partition PX_200 values less than ('X', 200),
...
partition PX_max values less than ('X', maxvalue),
partition post_X values less than (maxvalue, maxvalue)


There are several drawbacks to using this strategy
though, and I would start by questioning what you
hopes to achieve through partitioning and investigate
whether this notionally correct solution is going to
do what he hopes it would anyway.

Workaround for using NTILE function in Oracle8i

Hi Everyone,
I'm writing PL/SQL code which utilizes the NTILE function but have just

Unfortunately the database I need to run this on is Oracle 8i.  Does anyone
know of
a workaround I could use to get this to work.

Re: Workaround for using NTILE function in Oracle8i

Look into native dynamic sql -
the standard trick with SQL that pl/sql cannot
handle is to do something like:


declare
cursor variable declaration
begin
open cursor_variable for
'your sql string as a text string'
;

loop
fetch cursor variable into local variables
exit when  NOT FOUND
end loop;

close cursor variable

end;

RE: A RMAN question

2002-03-21 Thread

Hello Samir

I do not work with RMAN but I THINK that you have a conceptual error in your
logic.
Since you do not have a catalog RMAN use the control files as catalog.
When you want to restore RMAN will not find the data on the full backup
in the control files. You will have only the data on the last incremental
backup.
How can you restore?

 Hi Dennis,
 
 Thanks for replying. I guess I have not been able to make my question
 clear.
 You see, I need to backup only the cloned database on server B and NOT the
 
 database on server A. My scenario is as follows :
 
  The main db on server A is a partitioned data warehouse system and we r 
  planning to copy over the data files and the control files every night to
  the cloned db on server B. Thereafter, we will b taking a RMAN backup of
 the
  cloned db on server B only.
  As I said, RMAN writes the backup info on the target database's control
 files
  when it takes the backup. I also said that we plan to take a full backup
 on
 
  Sundays and incremental backup on the other days.
  
 My confusion was :
 
  Say, RMAN takes a backup of the database on the cloned db on server B
  on a Monday. On MOnday night as per procedure, the control files and 
  the database files from the main db on server A are copied over to server
 
  B. On Tuesday, will RMAN b happy taking the incremental backup again 
  of the cloned db on server B even though it finds that the control files
  r different than the ones it wrote the backup info to the previous day ??
  Or will it get confused and prompt for a FULL backup ??
 
 Any ideas from anybody would b appreciated a lot.

 Samir

 Samir - We have found that each Oracle database has an internal ID. This
 ID
 doesn't change when you clone it as you describe. RMAN uses this ID, and
 will become confused if it sees two databases that are identical. One way
 around this is to run two RMAN catalogs. I have not considered it an
 advantage to use RMAN with the control file (non-catalog) option, so I
 haven't considered all the ramifications there.
   Have you looked at the RMAN DUPLICATE command to clone the database?

 Hi All,
 
 Though I have been using RMAN for quite a while now, I would like to ask
 for
 a clarification
 here. 
 
 We have a production database with partitioning options on  server A. We
 copy over the files
 (including the control files) of the prod database each night to a server
 B.
 We will then be using
 RMAN to backup the database on server. We intend to take a Full backup on
 Sundays and Incrementals
 on all weekdays.
 I know that when we take a RMAN backup, it writes information about that
 task to the target database's
 control files which is precisely why we need not have a catalog database
 necessarily.
 
 My question is when RMAN takes a backup once, will it return an error when
 tries to take an
 incremental backup a second time since we have replaced the control files
 overnight ?? I mean,
 will RMAN be happy with taking an INCREMENTAL backup of the database even
 if
 it finds that the 
 control files on which it had written the backup info the previous night
 have been replaced with a 
 new set of control files ?? Will it prompt for a full backup ???
 
 Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Are the sizes of the tables same on both development and production

brought execution plans same on both the database.

Look for analyze command syntax to build histograms.

1.  change the initializaion parameter audit_trail to be:

shutdown and restart database

2. connect to the database as a user that has the privilege AUDIT

audit session whenever not successful

at this point you can see these unsuccessful logins by monitoring the

** Oracle's Pricing Dispute

Oracle just can't get away from pricing controversies. The 
software vendor is reportedly seeking extra license fees from 
customers in a dispute over just what constitutes a user in a 
batched multiplex computing environment. The consulting firm Meta 
Group, saying it has received a flurry of calls (from) angry 
Oracle customers, is urging customers to refuse to pay the fees.

Industry observers say Oracle is aggressively enforcing its 
software license contracts. I hear Oracle is being mean to its 
customers, Wells Fargo Securities analyst Rob Tholemeier said 
last week before Oracle reported its third-quarter results. They 
are reviewing database agreements, being very tough, and trying 
to get more dollars out of them. Oracle CFO Jeff Henley, when 
asked about the issue during a conference call with Wall Street 
analysts, said the company has an ongoing license-compliance 
program, but that there's no new enforcement initiative under 
way.

Multiplexing involves a shared pool of connections to a back-end 
database that makes it difficult to determine the actual number 
of users accessing the database. Under such circumstances, 
companies generally purchase database licenses on a per-CPU model 
or pay for all users at the front of the system. But Oracle, 
according to Meta Group, is trying to expand the definition of 
multiplexing to include batch feeds from non-Oracle applications 
into Oracle databases, and that user licenses must be purchased 
for all users of those source systems. One Meta Group client was 
told that it would have to pay $2.2 million in additional license 
fees to remain in compliance.

It appears pretty clear to us that they have redefined what 
multiplexing is to an absurd degree, says Meta Group analyst 
Charlie Garry. Oracle says this definition has always been its 
policy. But Meta Group questions Oracle's move on both legal and 
ethical grounds. - Rick Whiting

incorporated into the RDBMS kernel.

In 8.1.6 the 200MB used during index resyncs was released by ExtProc when
the process finished.  In 8.1.7 the SNP job runs the resync process and the
200MB used is not released.  Periodically stopping and restarting the SNPx
processes releases that memory and is an OK workaround.

Hmmph.  More kowtowing to Douglas Adam's cheap rip off on Kilgore
Trout's epic, Venus on the Half Shell.  Check the name of the FTL
drive in the latter and compare it to The Question.

Curious though, how the answer is just one more than the maximum ITL

RE: system packages status is invalid Oracle 8.1.7 on red hat 7.2

2002-03-21 Thread Boivin, Patrice J

Run rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql or utlrep.sql.

Then query again for invalid packages.

If there are still many, then not enough room to hold them all in your
shared pool.

Packages are invalid when the db starts up, because no one has accessed them
yet.  Utlrp.sql forces Oracle to do the work up front.

You might want to run UTLRP.SQL on your database.  Do this as SYS or INTERNAL.  Also 
remember to do a SET ORACLE_SID=your_sid first.

If you are looking for a head hunter, Jim Wilson with
Triad Group in Seattle is the quintessential

like what he has to say.  About a year ago I talked to

*   Fast key-based access to table data for queries involving exact
match and range searches. 
*   Changes to the table data (such as adding new rows, updating rows,
or deleting rows) result only in updating the index structure (because there
is no separate table storage area). i.e. fast.
*   Also, storage requirements are reduced because key columns are not
duplicated in the table and index. The remaining non-key columns are stored
in the index structure. 
*   Index-organized tables are particularly useful when you are using
applications that must retrieve data based on a primary key. 
*   Index-organized tables are also  suitable for modeling
application-specific index structures. For example, content-based
information retrieval applications containing text, image and audio data
require inverted indexes that can be effectively modeled using
index-organized tables. 
*   If all your columns contain numbers only, I would say your benefit
from this usage is minimized. However you will still benefit from the
storage reduction : 
*   Index-organized tables are like regular tables with a primary key
index on one or more of its columns. However, instead of maintaining two
separate storage spaces for the table and B*tree index, an index-organized
table only maintains a single B*tree index containing the primary key of the
table and other column values. 
*   Bad for updates as entire rows may have to be moved - as per the
index tree structure.
*   Not good for frequent deletes/updates/ inserts.
*   Cannot be rebuilt like an index.

NB:
Except for 8i and above, no other indexes can be created on IOT.

For an index-organized table, use the index_organized_table_clause of the
syntax. The move_table_clause rebuilds the index-organized table's primary
key index B*-tree. The overflow data segment is not rebuilt unless the
OVERFLOW keyword is explicitly stated, with two exceptions: 
*   If you alter the values of PCTTHRESHOLD or the INCLUDING column as
part of this ALTER TABLE statement, the overflow data segment is rebuilt. 
*   If any of out-of-line columns (LOBs, varrays, nested table columns)
in the index-organized table are moved explicitly, then the overflow data
segment is also rebuilt. 
The index and data segments of LOB columns are not rebuilt unless you
specify the LOB columns explicitly as part of this ALTER TABLE statement. 

117168.1: TS for IOT won't be visible as data can go into TWO different
TS's:
CREATE TABLE DOCINDEX
(token   CHAR(20),
 doc_oid INTEGER,
 token_frequency SMALLINT,
 token_occurrence_data   VARCHAR2(512),
   CONSTRAINT pk_docindex PRIMARY KEY (token, doc_oid) )
ORGANIZATION INDEX TABLESPACE text_collection
PCTTHRESHOLD 20 INCLUDING token_frequency
OVERFLOW TABLESPACE text_collection_overflow;

Generate the DDL for the table again with property Index Organised = Yes
for full table IOT?

126392.996
  create table EASY ( 
  ..., 
  constraint PK_EASY_IDPRIMARY KEY(EASY_ID)) 
  ORAGANIZATION INDEX [STORAGE CLAUSE];

116899.996
One more thing is if you are going to have lot of manipulations like update,
delete on Index organised table, it will increase the burden since it has to
reorganise the entire table. It is advisable to have Index orgnised table
with less number of manipulations.

RE: A RMAN question

2002-03-21 Thread SARKAR, Samir

Hi Yechiel,

Of course I do use a RMAN catalog on server B to backup the cloned database.

The scenario I described was because I am wondering whether RMAN will be 
happy taking a second incremental backup the next day after the controlfiles
of the target database were overwritten overnight.

Please read my earlier mail keeping in mind that a RMAN catalog database is
being
used.

I would b thankful for any advice on this.

Samir

Hello Samir

I do not work with RMAN but I THINK that you have a conceptual error in your
logic.
Since you do not have a catalog RMAN use the control files as catalog.
When you want to restore RMAN will not find the data on the full backup
in the control files. You will have only the data on the last incremental
backup.
How can you restore?

 Hi Dennis,
 
 Thanks for replying. I guess I have not been able to make my question
 clear.
 You see, I need to backup only the cloned database on server B and NOT the
 
 database on server A. My scenario is as follows :
 
  The main db on server A is a partitioned data warehouse system and we r 
  planning to copy over the data files and the control files every night to
  the cloned db on server B. Thereafter, we will b taking a RMAN backup of
 the
  cloned db on server B only.
  As I said, RMAN writes the backup info on the target database's control
 files
  when it takes the backup. I also said that we plan to take a full backup
 on
 
  Sundays and incremental backup on the other days.
  
 My confusion was :
 
  Say, RMAN takes a backup of the database on the cloned db on server B
  on a Monday. On MOnday night as per procedure, the control files and 
  the database files from the main db on server A are copied over to server
 
  B. On Tuesday, will RMAN b happy taking the incremental backup again 
  of the cloned db on server B even though it finds that the control files
  r different than the ones it wrote the backup info to the previous day ??
  Or will it get confused and prompt for a FULL backup ??
 
 Any ideas from anybody would b appreciated a lot.

 Samir

 Samir - We have found that each Oracle database has an internal ID. This
 ID
 doesn't change when you clone it as you describe. RMAN uses this ID, and
 will become confused if it sees two databases that are identical. One way
 around this is to run two RMAN catalogs. I have not considered it an
 advantage to use RMAN with the control file (non-catalog) option, so I
 haven't considered all the ramifications there.
   Have you looked at the RMAN DUPLICATE command to clone the database?

 Hi All,
 
 Though I have been using RMAN for quite a while now, I would like to ask
 for
 a clarification
 here. 
 
 We have a production database with partitioning options on  server A. We
 copy over the files
 (including the control files) of the prod database each night to a server
 B.
 We will then be using
 RMAN to backup the database on server. We intend to take a Full backup on
 Sundays and Incrementals
 on all weekdays.
 I know that when we take a RMAN backup, it writes information about that
 task to the target database's
 control files which is precisely why we need not have a catalog database
 necessarily.
 
 My question is when RMAN takes a backup once, will it return an error when
 tries to take an
 incremental backup a second time since we have replaced the control files
 overnight ?? I mean,
 will RMAN be happy with taking an INCREMENTAL backup of the database even
 if
 it finds that the 
 control files on which it had written the backup info the previous night
 have been replaced with a 
 new set of control files ?? Will it prompt for a full backup ???
 
 Any help will be greatly appreciated.

OAS 9i anyone?

2002-03-21 Thread Gary Weber

Greetings,

We are contemplating a purchase of Oracle Application Server 9i.

Anyone using it? Mind sharing your experience?

What prompted you to purchase an Application Server? Why was Oracle App
Server chosen, as opposed to Weblogic, etc?

J2EE considerations?

Ease of configuration/maintenance?

Who's in charge of OAS (DBA, SysAdmin, Developer)?

Stability? We've had numerous issues with Weblogic recently, hence the
question.

Do you feel the ROI has justified the purchase?

How many developers are involved in writing apps and/or supporting your
installation?

Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

Re: kill the procedure Call

2002-03-21 Thread Rakesh Gupta

If you are using unix, you have to play with tcp kernel parameters.
We have tuned these parameters:
tcp_ip_abort_interval   the time it takes for an existing connection to be closed
tcp_ip_abort_cinterval  the expiration time for establishing a new connection
tcp_time_wait_interval  the length of time the server holds a connection in a 
TIME-WAIT state after the end of the connection
tcp_keepalive_interval  the time period in which the server will continue sending 
probes to determine whether a connection is still active
tcp_conn_req_max_q  the maximum number of completed connections
tcp_conn_req_max_q0 the maximum number of connections with handshake incomplete

Default values

Parameter   Default Recommended
tcp_ip_abort_interval   480 (8 minutes) 6 (1 minute)
tcp_ip_abort_cinterval  18 (3 minutes)  6 (1 minute)
tcp_time_wait_interval  24 (8 minutes)  6 (1 minute)
tcp_keepalive_interval  720 (2 hours)   90 (15 minutes)
tcp_conn_req_max_q  128 256
tcp_conn_req_max_q0 10242048


The best way to determine whether or not a system is having connection problems is to 
look at the output of the netstat -an command.  The netstat -a command displays the 
current status of connections.  With the addtional n option, the command does not 
attempt to resolve IP addresses as host names, both speeding up the output and making 
it more predictable.  The following netstat command gives a quick summary of the 
number of TCP connections in each state.

bash-2.01# netstat -anP tcp | tail +5 | awk '{print $7}' | sort | uniq -c
  27 ESTABLISHED
   6 IDLE
  36 LISTEN
   1 Remote  - ignore this line
   1 SYN_SENT
  24 TIME_WAIT

For example, if you see a large number of connections in the TIME_WAIT state, this may 
indicate that you need to reduce your time wait interval (tcp_ip_time_wait_interval) 
to a smaller value. If you find many sockets in the FIN_WAIT_2 state, your server is 
probably waiting for the final ACK from the client before moving to close these 
connections.


Let me know if you need any more help and I will send you our document which describes 
the procedures to set these parameters.

Thanks
Rakesh

Re: OAS 9i anyone?

2002-03-21 Thread Charlie Mengler



Gary Weber wrote:
 
 Greetings,
 
 We are contemplating a purchase of Oracle Application Server 9i.
 
 Anyone using it? 

We are. (TIMW).

 Mind sharing your experience?

No

 
 What prompted you to purchase an Application Server? Why was Oracle App
 Server chosen, as opposed to Weblogic, etc?

9iAS is a marketing conglomeration consisting of
Apache
Orion (a freeware JSP, Java servlet Server)
Reports60
Forms60
Developer
WebCache
Portal
plus a few others

We got it primarily for Reports60  Forms60


 
 J2EE considerations?
 
 Ease of configuration/maintenance?

The Forms60  Reports60 were a MAJOR pain to configure on *nix (Solaris).
These two products appear to have been developed on Windoze and ported
to Unix. Both do funky stuff with filenames involving upper/lower case
issues. Windoze is case insensitive; while *nix is case sensitive;
which requires soft links between BASE.pll, base.pll,  Base.pll!

 
 Who's in charge of OAS (DBA, SysAdmin, Developer)?

In my case DBA, because I'm an ex-SysAdmin  the only person
who had a fighting chance to make this POS s/w operational.
 
 Stability? We've had numerous issues with Weblogic recently, hence the
 question.

Apache is rock solid.
The Reports60 server dies and/or hangs frequently  repeatedly.

 
 Do you feel the ROI has justified the purchase?

Who knows? I'm just a geek techie.

 
 How many developers are involved in writing apps and/or supporting your
 installation?

Two developers, plus me.

Feel free to contact me off the list if you so desire.

HTH  YMMV

iFS - storing XML via Windows Explorer

2002-03-21 Thread Szecsy Tamas

Hi,

we have a iFS instance. iFS lets you update an attribute of a file by
copying a proper XML file into a directory and iFS interprets it as a
command. If something is not O.K. with the file, it spits out an error file
into the same directory.

Now my problem is that I would like to store an XML file in an iFS direcotry
by draging the XML file into the iFS directory in Windows Explorer. The
result is that I get a error file. Does someone know of a way to override
this feature?

TIA,

Tamas Szecsy

RE: Embarcadero DBArtisan Trial Version

2002-03-21 Thread Mark Leith

Phone up Embarcadero, and ask them for an extended trial key? This is pretty
much the norm for these types of tools.. Embarcadero should just give you a
key that will last for another month. Tools like this keep track of if a
product was installed previously, and store some obscure key in the
registry, so even an un-install cannot get around the license issue.

Failing that set your system date back a year :

Disclaimer: This is a joke, I do *not* know whether this will work with
Embarcadero tools, and recommend that you get in touch with Embarcadero for
an extended license key.

Now I un-installed DBArtisan and reinstalled again on

Is there a way to get trial version without rebuilding

I think you got my point.

RE: A RMAN question

2002-03-21 Thread SARKAR, Samir

Thanks Jay.actually our clients want it that way that the cloned DB is 
backed up instead of the production DB.
I think u r right about RMAN getting confused when it reads the controlfiles

the next day for taking an incremental backup since they will have been
replaced
overnight. But I am using a recovery catalog database, so I dont understand
why 
won't RMAN just go and take an incremental backup of only the changed blocks

anyway instead of bothering about whats there in the control files of the
target 
database.
Does this also mean that in case I have to recreate the controlfile of the
target 
database, I can never do an incremental backup during the first go ??

I think RMAN will have problems with the incremental backup.  When it looks
at the control files for the cloned db, they will have no record of a
previous backup.

What you are doing is a bit unusual in that the database on server A (which
would be considered production) should be backed up.  And if you are backing
up the database on server A, why bother to backup the datbase on Server B?
Especially if you are refreshing it each night.  

It sounds like you should really be setting up a standby database.

 Subject:  RE: A RMAN question
 
 Hi Dennis,
 
 Thanks for replying. I guess I have not been able to make my question
 clear.
 You see, I need to backup only the cloned database on server B and NOT the
 
 database on server A. My scenario is as follows :
 
  The main db on server A is a partitioned data warehouse system and we r 
planning to copy over the data files and the control files every night to
  the cloned db on server B. Thereafter, we will b taking a RMAN backup of
 the
  cloned db on server B only.
  As I said, RMAN writes the backup info on the target database's control
 files
  when it takes the backup. I also said that we plan to take a full backup
 on
 
  Sundays and incremental backup on the other days.
  
 My confusion was :
 
  Say, RMAN takes a backup of the database on the cloned db on server B
  on a Monday. On MOnday night as per procedure, the control files and 
  the database files from the main db on server A are copied over to server
 
  B. On Tuesday, will RMAN b happy taking the incremental backup again 
  of the cloned db on server B even though it finds that the control files
  r different than the ones it wrote the backup info to the previous day ??
  Or will it get confused and prompt for a FULL backup ??
 
 Any ideas from anybody would b appreciated a lot.

 Samir

 Subject:  Embarcadero DBArtisan Trial Version
 
 All,
 
 Six months back I installed DBArtisan trial version. I
 didn't get a chance to play much with DBArtisan.
 
 Now I un-installed DBArtisan and reinstalled again on
 same desktop. It is prompting me to enter license key.
 
 
 Is there a way to get trial version without rebuilding
 my desktop.
 
 I think you got my point.
 
 Thanks,
 Bob

Uninstall the trial version and reinstall it? I don't know if that will work

Re: Rebuilding Index Organised Tables (IOTs)

2002-03-21 Thread Jonathan Lewis


Correct, and apologies, it's too easy to give
the quick and simple answer.

If you want to rebuild the whole thing, without
changing tablespaces, then:

alter table iot_tab move overflow;

You can't move the overflow with an online move,
of course (except in Oracle 9, I expect).

If you also have LOB columns you may have to
add further details to make those move too, such as

alter table iot_lob_tab move lob(my_lob) store as my_lob_seg;

which would rebuild the index layer, overflow layer, and
lobsegment layers.

 How to make database instance on Win2K automatically startup when the PC

it is specified in the windows registry

check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME0

there should be entries named ORA_sid_AUTOSTART for each instance in this

if u set the value for some ORA_sid_AUTOSTART to TRUE the respective

note that this is the default behaviour of the Oracle installation (set

RE: Oracle hangs...Oracle 8.1.7.3 and Solaris 2.7

2002-03-21 Thread Sutton, Reed

Well, unfortunately we haven't solved the problem yet, so I don't have any
solutions to share with everyone.

We are using Sun hardware, and we have not run diagnostics on the memory.  I
don't want to dismiss that idea out of hand, but I don't understand how bad
memory could be affecting only one of the three instances.  There are two
other 8.1.7.3 instances that run fine, never even a hiccup.  The server has
2GB of memory.

The application that uses this database (when its up) is connecting over the
network, but when it hangs, you are unable to connect from a remote client
or from on the server.  

I suggested to the support person handling our case that maybe we could try
using some of the various oradebug options suggested by people on the list
and suggested on Metalink, but he suggested looking at the following things
first:

This may be caused by a system resource problem. Was this DB relinked after
the upgrade?
It might help to get the initsid.ora's for all the instances
What is the total size of each SGA?
What is the value of the PROCESSES for each instance
How much physical memory on the system?
How much swap space?
Type sysdef -i |grep SHMMAX
Type sysdef -i |grep SEMMNS

Still waiting for his reply to my answers...

Thanks for all ideas you guys have shared.

the network that is causing problem?

In fact, you need both:

order to start Oracle process on NT automatically, but this is not enough to
startup the database automatically, when oracle process starts. In order
to do this, you need to:
2) set registry key ORA_sid_AUTOSTART to TRUE

RE: Rebuilding Index Organised Tables (IOTs)

2002-03-21 Thread Khedr, Waleed

Hi Jonathan,

Even this may not be the case (in my opinion I could be mistaken, my
respects for every one).

As you know any index is made of branching blocks and leaf blocks.

When we build an index, it's mainly to get rid of deleted rows/entries in
the leaf blocks and reclaim that space. Also reorganize the branching blocks
(index tree).

The way I understand IOT it's made of PK index (ONLY THE BRANCHING BLOCKS
PART) plugged into the table segment which could be considered as the leaf
blocks.

Moving the IOT will rebuild only the branching blocks or the tree part of
the index.

But the table segment or the leaf blocks will not be changed and will be
moved as it's (including deleted entries) to the new place.

Overflow is a different issue.

Again any feedback and corrections will be appreciated.

Unfortunately do not have time now to test what I said.

Regards,

Waleed

Accessing databases with different character sets

2002-03-21 Thread Schauss, Peter

We are installing an engineering design application which has
its own database and, in addition, needs to access the database
of another application.  Both are commercial applications where we
do not have access to source code.

Application A runs on NT and uses a character set of American.America.UTF8.
Application B runs on AIX and uses a character set of
American.America.US7ASCII.

What character set should I specify in the registries of the client
systems (NT) which run Application A?

thanks,

RE: kill the procedure Call

2002-03-21 Thread John Kanagaraj

Hi Rakesh,

Nice notes. However, you haven't mentioned the platform:  The 'netstat'
command, the tcp parameters mentioned and their configuation vary quite
drastically across platforms. Was the original from a HP platform?

 Subject: Re: kill the procedure Call
 
 
 If you are using unix, you have to play with tcp kernel parameters.
 We have tuned these parameters:
 tcp_ip_abort_interval the time it takes for an existing 
 connection to be closed
 tcp_ip_abort_cintervalthe expiration time for 
 establishing a new connection
 tcp_time_wait_intervalthe length of time the server 
 holds a connection in a TIME-WAIT state after the end of the 
 connection
 tcp_keepalive_intervalthe time period in which the 
 server will continue sending probes to determine whether a 
 connection is still active
 tcp_conn_req_max_qthe maximum number of completed connections
 tcp_conn_req_max_q0   the maximum number of connections with 
 handshake incomplete
 
 Default values
 
 Parameter Default Recommended
 tcp_ip_abort_interval 480 (8 minutes) 6 (1 minute)
 tcp_ip_abort_cinterval18 (3 minutes)  6 (1 minute)
 tcp_time_wait_interval24 (8 minutes)  6 (1 minute)
 tcp_keepalive_interval720 (2 hours)   90 
 (15 minutes)
 tcp_conn_req_max_q128 256
 tcp_conn_req_max_q0   10242048
 
 
 The best way to determine whether or not a system is having 
 connection problems is to look at the output of the netstat 
 -an command.  The netstat -a command displays the current 
 status of connections.  With the addtional n option, the 
 command does not attempt to resolve IP addresses as host 
 names, both speeding up the output and making it more 
 predictable.  The following netstat command gives a quick 
 summary of the number of TCP connections in each state.
 
 bash-2.01# netstat -anP tcp | tail +5 | awk '{print $7}' | 
 sort | uniq -c
   27 ESTABLISHED
6 IDLE
   36 LISTEN
1 Remote  - ignore this line
1 SYN_SENT
   24 TIME_WAIT
 
 For example, if you see a large number of connections in the 
 TIME_WAIT state, this may indicate that you need to reduce 
 your time wait interval (tcp_ip_time_wait_interval) to a 
 smaller value. If you find many sockets in the FIN_WAIT_2 
 state, your server is probably waiting for the final ACK from 
 the client before moving to close these connections.
 
 
 Let me know if you need any more help and I will send you our 
 document which describes the procedures to set these parameters.
 
 Thanks
 Rakesh

Sightly OT: Unix scripting

2002-03-21 Thread Ball, Terry

Environment:  Oracle 8.1.6.3 on Solaris 5.8

I am not a Unix Guru by any strech of the imagination, so I can use all the
help I can get.  I am trying to write a shell script to execute sqlldr of a
file whose name includes yesterday's 2 digit year and julian day in the

to be DATE=`date '+%y%j'`

But when I try to get DATE -1 it strips the leading 0 (since it is currently

Re: strange tkprof output for SQLs - II

2002-03-21 Thread Danisment Gazi Unal


Hello Mogens,
I saw this problem whether or not shared pool was flushed for PL/SQLs.
Here are my observations for SQLs!!!
and PL/SQLs:
- Enabling sql trace from current session:
When a cursor is closed after their child recursive statements, their
recursive statistics parsed after the statement are included in parent's
statistics. Recursive statements parsed before the statement are not included.
- Enabling sql trace from other session after a while(after the parenet
statement is parsed):
Recursive statistics are not included in parent statement. But tkprof
doesn't use exac values in raw trace file. If they are not included, why
doesn't tkprof return exac values in raw trace files ? I'll debug tkprof
if it calls Oracle's kernel function to see if tkprof is just a simple
formatter or calculates something that I'm missing.
I did not understand this is expected behavior or not. I would like
to know statistics in raw trace files are inclusive or exclusive.
I'm facing diffierent behaviors for this problem. I've opened an iTAR.
thanks in advance...

Re: More info on sql query running slow

2002-03-21 Thread Igor Neyman

I agree with /*+ORDERED */ hint suggestion (in combination with inline
view).
I've seen cases, when inline view itself didn't do the job, but along with
/*+ORDERED */ hint proved to be a huge performance benefit.

So, try:

SELECT /*+ORDERED */ COUNT(a.phy_contract_id)
 FROM accrued_and_paid a,
   (select phy_contract_id
from phy_contracts
where company_id = 16
and   contract_type = 'IC') b
 WHERE a.hold_payment_flag = 'Y'
 AND  b.phy_contract_id   = a.phy_contract_id;

or, may be changing order of a and b.

  Hi All,
  Oracle 8.1.6
  
  I have 2 tables which have been analyzed. The query
  takes about 30+ seconds
  to run.  If I run it many times it is faster as
  data gets loaded into
  buffer
  cache. I want to optimize when that is not the
  case.  All the fields in the
  query have a separate index created EXCEPT for
  ACCRUED_AND_PAID.hold_payment_flag.
  
  Phy_Contracts has 10,466 rows.
  Accrued_and_Paid has 820,919 rows.
  
  Here is output from explain plan

  Any ideas what I can do to speed this query.

 Yek. You should check the plan, there must be a full scan somewhere. I
 was hoping that the in-line view would be run first (assuming indices
 are efficient) and the the result used to pull the results from the
 other table.
 Two more things to try :
  1)  /*+ ORDERED */ and the in-line view first in the FROM clause
  2)  Not using an in-line view but a a.phy_contract_id in (select ..).
 In theory it shouldn't make any difference but the CBO has its
 mysterious ways sometimes.

Re: Sightly OT: Unix scripting

2002-03-21 Thread Brian_P_MacLean


(all examples are using /usr/bin/ksh shell)

You could do it this way:

DATE=$(date '+%y%j')
DATE=$((${DATE} - 1))
[ ${#DATE} -eq 4 ]  DATE=0${DATE}

But you have bigger problems my friend.  What happens if the date is 02001
and you subtract 1.  The result is 02000 which is invalid.  Since you are
in a script that is using the db anyway why not do something like this:

{
  sqlplus -s /nolog EOF
connect /
set pagesize 0
select to_char(sysdate - 1, 'YYDDD') from dual;
exit;
  EOF
} | grep -iv connected | read DATE

RE: Sightly OT: Unix scripting

2002-03-21 Thread Koivu, Lisa

Terry, 

I don't see a format like that in the unix date command formats,
unfortunately.  You may have to test the value and pad the number yourself.
I have to do that in a number of my perl scripts.  

You are lucky you have Unix...

refer to SYSDATE function in a CHECK constraint--doable?

2002-03-21 Thread Pardee, Roy E

Greetings all,

I've got a table with a date field on a 8.1.6.0 db.  I'd like to constrain
the values entered into this field to be less than or equal to the date on
which the record was entered.  I figured a table-level check constraint
would serve  so I ran:

ALTER TABLE TLB_COPIES
 ADD (CONSTRAINT TLBCPY_DATE_LAST_LABEL_CK CHECK (DATE_LAST_LABEL =
SYSDATE)
 EXCEPTIONS INTO COMN_EXCEPTIONS)

And Oracle complained thus:

 ADD (CONSTRAINT TLBCPY_DATE_LAST_LABEL_CK CHECK (DATE_LAST_LABEL =
SYSDATE)
 *
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-02436: date or system variable wrongly specified in CHECK constraint 

I've also tried using TO_DATE(SYSDATE) after running accross that expression
in some code examples in the docs (does SYSDATE not return a date type?),
but get the same error.

I've searched through metalink for this error, but everything I've found
deals with how you've got to to_date() a date literal (e.g., no implicit
conversions) and be sure to use a full four-digit year (as of 8.x I think).
But I'm not seeing anything that refers to the sysdate function--is it just
not allowed?  I'm pretty sure you can use it as a DEFAULT...

Thanks!

RE: Oracle hangs...Oracle 8.1.7.3 and Solaris 2.7

2002-03-21 Thread Sutton, Reed

Oracle supports response to my answers was to increase SHMMAX from 128M to
4G and SEMMNS to 2000.  Upping the semaphores seems like a good idea, but
when I questioned why we should increase SHMMAX to more than 2x the real
memory on the machine, the answer was I had my Unix Guru look at these and
he recommended the parameters.  A little less than what I was hoping for...

At this point I am going to start launching my own investigation, from tips
from you guys and research on Metalink, to try to find out what these
processes are doing when the server is hung.

Thanks again for all the help.

Well, unfortunately we haven't solved the problem yet, so I don't have any
solutions to share with everyone.

We are using Sun hardware, and we have not run diagnostics on the memory.  I
don't want to dismiss that idea out of hand, but I don't understand how bad
memory could be affecting only one of the three instances.  There are two
other 8.1.7.3 instances that run fine, never even a hiccup.  The server has
2GB of memory.

The application that uses this database (when its up) is connecting over the
network, but when it hangs, you are unable to connect from a remote client
or from on the server.  

I suggested to the support person handling our case that maybe we could try
using some of the various oradebug options suggested by people on the list
and suggested on Metalink, but he suggested looking at the following things
first:

This may be caused by a system resource problem. Was this DB relinked after
the upgrade? It might help to get the initsid.ora's for all the instances
What is the total size of each SGA? What is the value of the PROCESSES for
each instance How much physical memory on the system? How much swap space?
Type sysdef -i |grep SHMMAX Type sysdef -i |grep SEMMNS

Still waiting for his reply to my answers...

Thanks for all ideas you guys have shared.

Please let us know how you fixed the problem. 

Are you using Sun Hardware? can you run diagnostics for the memory?

Are you connecting using IPC(meaning direct) or through TCP(network)? Is it
the network that is causing problem?

RE: Error in procedure with dba_users

2002-03-21 Thread Jesse, Rich

You could try GRANT ANALYZE ANY TO SYSTEM

I didn't want to do that, in case we upgraded via export/import, in which
case I might overlook that when SYSTEM got recreated, so I created a new DBA
user and granted it the same privs as SYSTEM, plus the one above.  We use
this new account to do our DBMS_STATS work.

Yes, you can use oracle for both, but will need a way to change ORACLE_HOME.

Re: Oracle hangs...Oracle 8.1.7.3 and Solaris 2.7

2002-03-21 Thread Danisment Gazi Unal

Hello all,

I think problem solving is an art. No one can know every solutions for every
problems. If we don't use a methodical way, in other words if we use
TEST-AND-SEE way, we waste our time. We should not jump into problem
immediately.

For your case:

A- Problem: session/db hangs
We don't know the problem yet. So, we can not talk about memory, IO, network
etc. yet. We should not TEST the components one by one and SEE the results. If
we don't know how to diagnose memory, what will happen ? or if problem is not
related to memory what will happen ? wasting time.

B- Identifiying the problem:
Now, how will we identify the problem ? In your case, your session is hanging
while connecting to db.
Which phase:
1- Before handhaking with listener,
Take sql*net client trace in level 16 and see 'err' postfix in the trace file.
If there is no error message in trace, ignore this phase.
2- After handshaking is completed but before server process is created,
Take listener trace in level 16. If there is no error ignore this phase.
3-after server process is created
Take sql*net server trace for server process. If there is no error here, ignore
this phase.

sql*net trace files include OS specific errors too. So, They can give you some
directions.
Note: Trace files may not include any errors. Check if trace file includes
wait-calls from next layer. I mean client requested a server port, but listener
may not have returned a server port to client.

If you don't see any problems in above steps, you should see that a server
process is created. Now, debug this process by a debugger such as adb, dbx. You
will see which Oracle's kernel functions are called. If debugger continues to
write forever, that means process doesn't hang. If it repeats same kernel
funcitons, most probably, it's endless loop. Also, you can dump process states.
This can help what is happening there. According to Oracle's last kernel
function, we can identify in which function Oracle hangs. You can also take
truss,strace,trace output to see last OS call.

Of course we can not write the fix, but at least we have an opportunity to
identify the problem.

regards...

 Oracle supports response to my answers was to increase SHMMAX from 128M to

 he recommended the parameters.  A little less than what I was hoping for...

 At this point I am going to start launching my own investigation, from tips

 Well, unfortunately we haven't solved the problem yet, so I don't have any
 solutions to share with everyone.

 We are using Sun hardware, and we have not run diagnostics on the memory.  I
 don't want to dismiss that idea out of hand, but I don't understand how bad
 memory could be affecting only one of the three instances.  There are two
 other 8.1.7.3 instances that run fine, never even a hiccup.  The server has
 2GB of memory.

 The application that uses this database (when its up) is connecting over the
 network, but when it hangs, you are unable to connect from a remote client
 or from on the server.

 I suggested to the support person handling our case that maybe we could try
 using some of the various oradebug options suggested by people on the list
 and suggested on Metalink, but he suggested looking at the following things
 first:

 This may be caused by a system resource problem. Was this DB relinked after
 the upgrade? It might help to get the initsid.ora's for all the instances
 What is the total size of each SGA? What is the value of the PROCESSES for
 each instance How much physical memory on the system? How much swap space?
 Type sysdef -i |grep SHMMAX Type sysdef -i |grep SEMMNS

 Still waiting for his reply to my answers...

 Thanks for all ideas you guys have shared.

You could try GRANT ANALYZE ANY TO SYSTEM

I didn't want to do that, in case we upgraded via export/import, in which
case I might overlook that when SYSTEM got recreated, so I created a new DBA
user and granted it the same privs as SYSTEM, plus the one above.  We use
this new account to do our DBMS_STATS work.

I also created a user for this, but with privs: create session,

grant DBA or any other privs.  However I'm not yet using DBMS_STATS,
maybe that requires more(?)

RE: RE: Intersystems Cache database

2002-03-21 Thread Norrell, Brian

Hospital is the key.  Cache was originally developed in the '70 for
use in medical applications, of course, back then it was known as MUMPS
before the PR guys got a hold of it.  The UNIX types will tell you that
any app that has been around for three decades has to have something
going for it.

Some of the DBAs around hear played with it, and were not impressed.
Apparently recovery in the event of any failure was a nightmare.

Patrice,
That you're running diag.cmd and not diag.csh, I assume you are on NT.
What version of iAS and Portal are you using.

I have used diag.csh (on Solaris, iAS 1.0.2.2, Portal 3.0.9) when we had
issues
cloning a portal environment some months ago and had learnt to ignore some
messages.  Could you post the output that you're getting when running the

 Hi
 If I want to install oracle 9i Database and oracle 9iAS on same box.
 Is it necessary to have diffrent home for both or same?

use DIFFERENT home directories

 If I use oracle as unix loginname for oracle9i database then can I use
same
 unix loginname for Oracle 9iAS or not?

Yes, you can use oracle for both, but will need a way to change
ORACLE_HOME.

FWIW - I don't believe that all pieces of 9iAS are actually certified
to run with 9i DB.

Re: refer to SYSDATE function in a CHECK constraint--doable?

2002-03-21 Thread Ora NT DBA

HI Roy,

As you have already figured out sysdate cannot be used in a constraint.

Greetings all,

I've got a table with a date field on a 8.1.6.0 db.  I'd like to constrain
the values entered into this field to be less than or equal to the date on
which the record was entered.  I figured a table-level check constraint
would serve  so I ran:

ALTER TABLE TLB_COPIES
 ADD (CONSTRAINT TLBCPY_DATE_LAST_LABEL_CK CHECK (DATE_LAST_LABEL =
SYSDATE)
 EXCEPTIONS INTO COMN_EXCEPTIONS)

And Oracle complained thus:

 ADD (CONSTRAINT TLBCPY_DATE_LAST_LABEL_CK CHECK (DATE_LAST_LABEL =
SYSDATE)
 *
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-02436: date or system variable wrongly specified in CHECK constraint 

I've also tried using TO_DATE(SYSDATE) after running accross that expression
in some code examples in the docs (does SYSDATE not return a date type?),
but get the same error.

I've searched through metalink for this error, but everything I've found
deals with how you've got to to_date() a date literal (e.g., no implicit
conversions) and be sure to use a full four-digit year (as of 8.x I think).
But I'm not seeing anything that refers to the sysdate function--is it just
not allowed?  I'm pretty sure you can use it as a DEFAULT...

Thanks!

RE: Remote DB Installation

2002-03-21 Thread Sujatha Madan



You 
need to establish a telnet or ssh connection to the remote server. That's all 
you need.

  9i) for a companylocated in Central America. I am located in the 
  Minneapolis / St. Paul, MN area. What tools would I need to install this 
  remotely from MN? The server would probably be Sun or HP

Re: Remote DB Installation

2002-03-21 Thread Joe Raube

Just a few options - I'm sure there are others that I haven't listed:

1) VNC from ATT Labs
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/

VNC needs to be installed on client and server.

2) (method I use for Unix/Linux remote installs)  SSH w/ X11
tunneling

You'll need a local X Server - either buy one that runs on Windows
(not sure if any free ones still exist), or I use my Linux machine
with XFree86.

See ssh docs for details on ssh tunneling.

RE: Remote DB Installation

2002-03-21 Thread Sujatha Madan



Sorry 
I was too quick in sending.

With 
the telnet, you need some sort of X windows application - liek Reflection X or 
XWin or something like that.

The 
Oracle Installator will work via this.
