RE: Using XML in the dba
Bill, If you will be using the XML from PL/SQL calls, you will probably need the Oracle XDK for PL/SQL packages installed. There are several versions available.

RE: run PL/SQL in background
John, A PL/SQL procedure run from dbms_job doesn't run continually - it is regularly restarted, which is quite different. The problem with continually running processes, PL/SQL or others, is that they have an innate tendency to take the CPU and not release it. If you want your solution to be viable, you need the process to block on something to give a chance to the other, competing processes - or you put it in polling mode (there's a kind of SLEEP function in one of the supplied packages, cannot remember which), or (what I'd prefer) you make it regularly wait on a DBMS_PIPE.RECEIVE or a DBMS_ALERT.WAITxxx, with or without a timeout shorter than your life expectancy. Now, for starting such a process, if you use DBMS_JOB it means that you will 'sacrifice', so to speak, a job process which will not be able to do anything else. It can be an acceptable solution if you increase job_processes accordingly. Or you can have the procedure called by SQL*Plus conveniently wrapped into an OS sc! ! ript, and make the OS script a detached process.

Re: WHICH UNIX FOR ORACLE?
This is great information Raj. I've run a test that is completely consistent with this. For instance: Go to Metalink and click the Patches item in the left menu. Then choose product family Oracle Server and product RDBMS Server, release 9.0.1.3. Select the HP9000 Series HP/UX 64-bit platform and choose All Product Patches. Repeat for Sun Sparc Solaris. Although the Sun list is quite lengthy compared to most other platforms (7 entries), the HP list has significantly more patches (15 entries). For me, this is a significant decision influencer when choosing a platform for Oracle. However, HP is definitely losing the performance race... :-) Tough one.

AIX, Tru64, HP/UX (leaving NUMA out of the equation for now. If you like NUMA, then look into the status of IBM's acquisition of Sequent, I'm out of touch with that right now.) Different hardware solutions from different vendors have different performance, stability and cost characteristics, and so I'll assume that all vendors have an appropriate solution on these factors, this may not be the case. With these assumptions, the primary factor for me is the timeliness of the availability of releases, patches and patchsets. Sun Solaris 32-bit is the winner on this factor on the grounds that it is Oracle's internal development platform. All other platforms are ported from Sun Solaris 32-bit. When that changes, my recommendation would of course also change, as it did when Oracle moved away from Digital/VMS. Anyone who has been in a situation where a bug was causing service failure and who heard that a patch was available for Solaris but not your platform knows where I'm coming from on this one. Note: for the exact same reason, never use 64-bit Oracle on Solaris unless you absolutely need the very-large-sga support. 64-bit Oracle on Solaris is slow to get patches and releases.

Re: Seeking opinions
What happens when you run out of disk space on a mount point? It happened to me. I created a new datafile on another mount point, and then had to hear staff DBAs whining, why is there a rollback segment tablespace file on /u004?, as though it was a major disaster. Really, when people get into this mindset of file A MUST be in directory B, they lose all sight of what they should be doing (ensuring a smoothly running database) and concentrate more on whether every file is in the right place so that they don't have to query the data dictionary. OK, I feel better now. :-) --- Rachel Carmichael [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I had an SA teach me that one, and it's saved me from making a REALLY stupid mistake a number of times.

Re: Copy tables and indexes etc from one db to another
Roland, That all depends is a valid answer. If the tables are small and few a full export/import count be quick if the table are not created on the new server. If the tables are large you might run into the file size limitation of the OS and then an insert/select across a database link might be the answer. If the tables are large you might want to do an export with the select option to get portions of the data at a time. If the databases are remotely located a copy across the database link could be faster than an export, copy to tape, mail the tape, copy from tape, and import the data. With no specific information given you will get no specific answers. Generally an export/import is the fastest to move data from one location to another.

It's your SELECT that's causing the ORA-1422. If you're using 8i or 9i, you
can avoid the SELECT and use the SYS_CONTEXT function like this:

I read a few documents regarding sql*loader in parallel direct mode, but I'm still confused as to why are these extents are all 16K instead of being 32K (some) and 1M (most).

deferred constraints
Hello, Env: 8.1.6.0.0 on Solaris 2.7 From reading the docs regarding constraint states, it sounds like there is no difference in constraint behaviour between a constraint created as not deferred vs a constraint created as deferred and initially immediate. Is this correct? The only difference I can see is that a constraint created as deferred can subsequently be altered to other constraint states, whereas a constraint created as not deferred cannot. If the above is correct, is it a good practice to make the default for constraint creation deferred and initially immediate? The justification for this would be the flexibility of altering the constraint state, should the need ever arise. How do most of you create your constraints, as deferred or not deferred?

Different hardware solutions from different vendors have different performance, stability and cost characteristics, and so I'll assume that all vendors have an appropriate solution on these factors, this may not be the case. With these assumptions, the primary factor for me is the timeliness of the availability of releases, patches and patchsets. Sun Solaris 32-bit is the winner on this factor on the grounds that it is Oracle's internal development platform. All other platforms are ported from Sun Solaris 32-bit. When that changes, my recommendation would of course also change, as it did when Oracle moved away from Digital/VMS. Anyone who has been in a situation where a bug was causing service failure and who heard that a patch was available for Solaris but not your platform knows where I'm coming from on this one.

RE: run PL/SQL in background
It can be an acceptable solution if you increase job_processes accordingly. Yes, the developers approach is to have these processes sleep using dbms_lock. My main concern with starting these via dbms_jobs is that if the number of such long running PL/SQL procedures grows, so will the number of job_processes.

The problem with continually running processes, PL/SQL or others, is that they have an innate tendency to take the CPU and not release it. If you want your solution to be viable, you need the process to block on something to give a chance to the other, competing processes - or you put it in polling mode (there's a kind of SLEEP function in one of the supplied packages, cannot remember which), or (what I'd prefer) you make it regularly wait on a DBMS_PIPE.RECEIVE or a DBMS_ALERT.WAITxxx, with or without a timeout shorter than your life expectancy. Now, for starting such a process, if you use DBMS_JOB it means that you will 'sacrifice', so to speak, a job process which will not be able to do anything else.

John -Original Message- From: Stephane Faroult [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 05 April 2002 14:18 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: RE: run PL/SQL in background John, A PL/SQL procedure run from dbms_job doesn't run continually - it is regularly restarted, which is quite different. The problem with continually running processes, PL/SQL or others, is that they have an innate tendency to take the CPU and not release it. If you want your solution to be viable, you need the process to block on something to give a chance to the other, competing processes - or you put it in polling mode (there's a kind of SLEEP function in one of the supplied packages, cannot remember which), or (what I'd prefer) you make it regularly wait on a DBMS_PIPE.RECEIVE or a DBMS_ALERT.WAITxxx, with or without a timeout shorter than your life expectancy. Now, for starting such a process, if you use DBMS_JOB it means that you will 'sacrifice', so to speak, a job process which will not be able to do anything else. It can be an acceptable solution if you increase job_processes accordingly. Or you can have the procedure called by SQL*Plus conveniently wrapped into an OS sc! ! ript, and make the OS script a detached process.

Re: Re[2]: WHICH UNIX FOR ORACLE?
Dick, I agree completely with your #1. We run on all of these platforms here (the Linux is running off my desktop). I have not had any Oracle support calls on the AIX system, but it is a very lightly used db. IBM's hw support response is awesome though. I put it above HP's which is pretty good for our area. (Location caveat: I am in Sioux Falls, SD - ANY call will most likely be a minimum of 4HRS wait probably 8 depending on the vendor). I haven't dealt with Sun support here. As mentioned in other posts, I am my support for Linux. We met with Oracle and HP reps back in 2001. They did confirm that HP is the development platform for Oracle, and that 64bit is being worked on both the PA-RISC and IA64 processors on HP. So... 1. HP 2. AIX (fast hw support in the boonies is cool) 3. Sun (Have fits with ksh on Sun it doesn't work the same as the other two) 4.

Moving From Rule-Based to Cost-Based
Hello All, At our site, we are use rule based optimization. We are careful to write SQL that performs well under this mode. Some of our SQL also contains hints. When we provide our application to clients, we default it to use Rule-based. However, some clients may choose to run our application in cost-based mode. This will be as simple as analyzing all tables and indexes in our schemas', and changing the mode to use cost based. My Questions: 1. How likely is it that our application will perform worse under cost-based than it does under rule-based. What has been the experience of others on the list who have moved from Rule-based to Cost-based? 2. What are some of the underlying reasons for performance to decline when making such a move? What are some gotchas to watch for? 3. Is there more that needs to be done to move from rule to cost? (Other than changing the optimization mode and analyzing tables and indexes)? Most clients run our database on NT, although some use UNIX. Assume Oracle 9i. Our database (at client sites) tends to be small, with the largest being about 25 GB.

Re: WHICH UNIX FOR ORACLE?
Hi Raj, list Few systems running Oracle require market-leading performance to function well. (There are some, don't get me wrong.) So I believe that even if an architecture is slower it can be more appropriate if it's priced right and has other important characteristics. Also, the highest-end machines of the slowest architecture can easily stomp on the mid-range machines of the other architectures. We all agree on that. However, it's my understanding (eager to learn!) that HP is still losing in overall CPU performance to IBM, Sun and Digital/Compaq as a result of the neglect the PA-RISC architecture suffered at the hands of Rick Belluzo. I know that HP has reinvested vast sums of money into it because of the IA-64 delays, but last I heard it had improved things dramatically but not yet enough. Here are some references. Again, I'm very interested in this subject as I'm often called upon to recommend hardware purchases and platform selections. :-) From http://www.itworld.com/Comp/2149/swol-0119-flavors/ (where the other suspects are also reviewed) Hewlett-Packard HP-UX Current release: HP-UX 11i Platform: HP 9000 servers Standard: Unix 95 Application score: 9 out of 10 Advantages: HP has a solid reputation for reliability and service; HP-UX comes with a substantial OS bundle including a Web server, C/C++, Windows networking, WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) services, Linux APIs, iPlanet directory server, and Veritas file system. Disadvantages: HP PA-RISC architecture is falling behind in performance relative to the competition. Prognosis: Hewlett-Packard is the Volvo of IT: It quietly churns out ugly, bulletproof boxes that virtually care for themselves. HP is rarely first or fastest, but it packs enormous value into its Unix products. Not surprisingly, HP-UX is almost Linux-like in its completeness, with time-proven enterprise tools and services included in the bundle. HP's inclusion of the Veritas journaling file system moves HP-UX 11i to the front of the pack. Once HP catches up to rivals' performance and certifies HP-UX as Unix 98-compliant, it could move ahead of Sun and IBM. from... http://www.chipcenter.com/eexpert/dgilbert/dgilbert050.html Hewlett Packard was the first manufacturer to pursue the advantages of using Intel chips in both 32-bit and 64-bit system architectures, and they played a vital role in the development of the new Itanium architecture. This path was taken to get away from pouring more money into their PA-RISC chips, among other reasons. Now the only two players left in the 64-bit RISC game are IBM and Sun Microsystems. IBM has effectively unlimited staying power since they can perform all levels of chip design and production in-house. Sun Microsystems does not enjoy this autonomy since they outsource their manufacturing to Texas Instruments, and it is likely that this factor may ultimately hinder their ability to continue providing their own architecture of RISC processor for the server and workstation market. Is it just a matter of time before we are left with Intel and IBM? Will the RISC architecture be able to carry forward in the server and workstation market? And although this following article has a IBM bias (because of the association with Apple Computer), it's an interesting read that covers the history of the PA/IA-64 fiasco well: http://www.macedition.net/soup/soup_20020318.php Cheers, Paul --- www.pythian.com -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 877-PYTHIAN Smarter than adding another team member, Pythian has new services for supplementing DBAs: get our help with monitoring, 24x7 on-call, daily verifications, storage management, performance and more. - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 05, 2002 10:48 AM Paul, I am glad you are on your way to 'controlled molecular restructuring and HP-iozation' (??!) ..;) Mind telling me What made you say HP's is losing performance race..?

RE: Oracle vs. MS SQL
Oops, a couple of items I didn't make clear: - I was never able to compare the cost of Oracle support with the cost of Microsoft support. Oracle prices annual maintenance, which includes the right to upgrade to a new version of Oracle. MS prices out per incident or for all MS software at a location. If you can estimate the number of calls/month, then you could compare. - Oracle DBA salary vs. MS SQL DBA salary. I feel the difference is primarily due to less experience, training.

I appreciate the support several people on this list provided me. In return, here are some of the main points I learned. - For smaller systems, investigate whether Oracle Standard Edition will meet your requirements. For example, most people assume that to use replication, you need EE. For our purposes the basic replication that comes with SE was adequate. - Microsoft also offers SQL in both EE and SE versions. Thanks very much to Gints Plivna for providing me a feature-by-feature comparison between the different versions. MS SE is not equivalent to Oracle SE. In most cases, the more valid comparison is between MS SQL EE and Oracle SE. - For maintenance, there are two parts to consider: Upgrade privilege and support. Oracle bundles both of these together. Make sure Microsoft is priced with Software Assurance, which gives upgrade privilege. Microsoft prices support by the incident or by the location (all Microsoft software). I was never able to get a comparison. - MS SQL EE with Software Assurance is actually more expensive than Oracle SE. Priced by the CPU. - Since pricing is by CPU and RISC systems offer higher database performance (according to many people on this list) and Oracle offers higher performance in a head-to-head comparison (according to the recently published Eweek benchmark), I compared Oracle SE on a 1-CPU Sun box with MS SQL on a 2-CPU Intel box. The Intel box was cheaper, but those two CPUs really kill you on licensing! In my mind I am convinced that both setups could offer equivalent performance. - I was provided figures that the average DBA salary (including health, vacation, etc.) on Oracle is $85,000 and on MS SQL $68,500. A leading industry analyst stated that the main reason MS SQL sites have less reliability is because there are few processes to ensure high availability, high performance. Developing these processes in the MS SQL world is more trial-and-error while these are well-documented in the Oracle world. I would add that several authors that participate in this list have created that documentation. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc.

Re:Moving From Rule-Based to Cost-Based
Sam, If your SQL has hints in it your using the Cost based optimizer as it is. From my experience an sql statement that is well written from a rule based optimizer point of view will not adversely be affected by the cost based optimizer while the statistics are valid/accurate. Now a poorly written statement with invalid/inaccurate statistics will kill you. And a poorly written statement with valid/accurate statistics will help save the day. I switched out Operational Data Store from rule based to cost based optimization some months ago, like 24 months. And have been computing statistics every weekend. The end users who write their own SQL via Access have never been so pleased. Even their trashy SQL runs relatively quickly. Dick Goulet Reply Separator Author: Sam Bootsma [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 4/5/2002 8:49 AM Hello All, At our site, we are use rule based optimization. We are careful to write SQL that performs well under this mode. Some of our SQL also contains hints. When we provide our application to clients, we default it to use Rule-based. However, some clients may choose to run our application in cost-based mode. This will be as simple as analyzing all tables and indexes in our schemas', and changing the mode to use cost based. My Questions: 1. How likely is it that our application will perform worse under cost-based than it does under rule-based. What has been the experience of others on the list who have moved from Rule-based to Cost-based? 2. What are some of the underlying reasons for performance to decline when making such a move? What are some gotchas to watch for? 3. Is there more that needs to be done to move from rule to cost? (Other than changing the optimization mode and analyzing tables and indexes)? Most clients run our database on NT, although some use UNIX. Assume Oracle 9i. Our database (at client sites) tends to be small, with the largest being about 25 GB.

Re: Oracle vs. MS SQL
Well, this was almost true for SQL Server 6.5 (only, the lowest locking level was a block, not a table). And it caused a lot of problems, generating tons of deadlocks. Now, latest version of SQL Server provides for row-level locking, but not exactly the way Oracle does it, and also, it's unfortunate, that SQL Server can automatically escalate row-level lock to block-level, or even table-level. MS claims, it does this in order to improve performance. Sorry, don't have first-hand experience to grade this improvement in SQL Server. Igor Neyman, OCP DBA [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 05, 2002 1:33 PM There are some technical points worth considering. For example, SQL Server does not have true row level locking. It's table level locking, or some really creative SQL to fake it. This has a direct impact on scalability and performance. --- DENNIS WILLIAMS [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Oops, a couple of items I didn't make clear: - I was never able to compare the cost of Oracle support with the cost of Microsoft support. Oracle prices annual maintenance, which includes the right to upgrade to a new version of Oracle. MS prices out per incident or for all MS software at a location. If you can estimate the number of calls/month, then you could compare. - Oracle DBA salary vs. MS SQL DBA salary. I feel the difference is primarily due to less experience, training. I find it ironic that this probably causes less reliability for Microsoft (Microsoft has even complained that organizations don't assign their best people to administer MS products), yet then Microsoft brags about how you can save money because their people are cheaper. -Original Message- Sent: Friday, April 05, 2002 11:14 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I recently prepared a total cost comparison between Oracle and MS SQL. I appreciate the support several people on this list provided me. In return, here are some of the main points I learned. - For smaller systems, investigate whether Oracle Standard Edition will meet your requirements. For example, most people assume that to use replication, you need EE. For our purposes the basic replication that comes with SE was adequate. - Microsoft also offers SQL in both EE and SE versions. Thanks very much to Gints Plivna for providing me a feature-by-feature comparison between the different versions. MS SE is not equivalent to Oracle SE. In most cases, the more valid comparison is between MS SQL EE and Oracle SE. - For maintenance, there are two parts to consider: Upgrade privilege and support. Oracle bundles both of these together. Make sure Microsoft is priced with Software Assurance, which gives upgrade privilege. Microsoft prices support by the incident or by the location (all Microsoft software). I was never able to get a comparison. - MS SQL EE with Software Assurance is actually more expensive than Oracle SE. Priced by the CPU. - Since pricing is by CPU and RISC systems offer higher database performance (according to many people on this list) and Oracle offers higher performance in a head-to-head comparison (according to the recently published Eweek benchmark), I compared Oracle SE on a 1-CPU Sun box with MS SQL on a 2-CPU Intel box. The Intel box was cheaper, but those two CPUs really kill you on licensing! In my mind I am convinced that both setups could offer equivalent performance. - I was provided figures that the average DBA salary (including health, vacation, etc.) on Oracle is $85,000 and on MS SQL $68,500. A leading industry analyst stated that the main reason MS SQL sites have less reliability is because there are few processes to ensure high availability, high performance. Developing these processes in the MS SQL world is more trial-and-error while these are well-documented in the Oracle world. I would add that several authors that participate in this list have created that documentation. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc.

Re: RMAN
Steve, Quite an impressive list to discourage anyone :)) And you are asking how's Jared's book coming :)) And no, I never thought about it (writing on Oracle issues) exactly because of p.5 you listed, though I wrote several articles on SQL Server (for SQL Server Professional), but Oracle is so much deeper.

Sqlplus Auto-trim Whitespace???
Hi, A co-worker of mine is trying to remember how to have trailing whitespace automatically removed from each COLUMN in the output of a query within SQL*Plus. He said he saw the tip in a book a couple years ago and can't remember for the life of him how he went about it. I have poured through the docs myself and other references and can't seem to find a way to do this. The objective is to set the COLSEP to say '|' and then be able to perform something like a SELECT * FROM table such that the output/display is variable length for each column. The solution we're looking for is purely within SQL*Plus, not doing something with PL/SQL. Also, the solution should not involve using the COLUMN command to control the formatting of each column literally. Anyone know how to do this?
