Re: Oracle and NAS (more Q's)
How do you do backups? Do you use RMAN with MML? Do you use NDMP? Tia. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/16/02 08:28a.m. Dick, We're using Netapp F720's to store all our datafiles (production and test) in a small/medium OLTP environment and are quite happy with the setup. YMMV. We run out of two sets of collocated servers. At each collocation there are at least two filers and at least two servers. The filers and the servers currently have three 100BaseT network connections. One front channel and two back channels. Each LAN segment is switched. Thus any server at a location can connect to any filer at that location. Datafiles can be spread across filers or spread across channels as performance requires. The WAFL does indeed write to the nearest available inode and relinks the inode map. The unlinked inode is immediately available for rewrite unless it is a member of a snapshot. Thus while reserving unlinked blocks is inefficient from a storage perspective, it is a factor you get to control by controlling the snapshots. -rje -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Robert Eskridge 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).

Please share your experience with RAC on linux:)
hi, dbas: We plan to setup a new database on a Linux Cluster, using Oracle 9i RAC release 2, with Dell PC Servers (4CPU, 4G memory), to store our online history data and provide read only service and some other misc applications. So, what i care is: 1. Which Oracle version to use, release 1 or release 2. Release 1 is certified on many platforms with proper hardware and os, but release 2 is relatively new. But since oracle supports new version and there is maybe less bugs , i prefer release 2 version . Can you share your opnion? 2. Which OS to choose. Suse and Redhat is the oracle prefered version. For RAC/OPS support , is suse better than redhat? Or if i choose redhat, shall i choose the redhat 7.1(the certified version with rac release 1 on Dell machine) or Redhat Advanced Server, or redhat 7.2/7.3? 3. Has anyone here used RAC in production? Especially on Linux/RAC combination? what about your experience? Please share your valuable experience here:), thanks.

Re:RE: dblink problem ( ORA-02019)
Folks, Since I recently slammed into this unexpected wall I'll pass along the experience. A couple of weeks ago I upgraded an 8.0.5.2.1 instance to 8.1.7 and subsequently at OTS's request to 8.1.7.4. To make a long story short most things with database links worked OK, but a describe across one did not (ORA-02019). The problem ended up being a small error in Oracle's INIT parameter documentation. Back in 8.0.5.2.1, due to a bug introduced, you needed to have DB_DOMAIN=.WORLD or DB_DOMAIN=.VICR.COM. Note the '.' before the domain. Well in 8.1.7, or sometime before that, they fixed the bug, but forgot about those of us who don't always follow the 'yellow brick road'. So if your having problems with ORA-02019's take a second and check this parameter in your init.ora. I changed mine the problems went away.

RE: Oracle on Linux ... Production Strength ???
The kicker with Oracle's certified Linux platforms/versions is if you run into problems on a non-certified dist and try and get support on a problem that has nothing to do with what dist or version you're on (like errors in a shell script in OiD), they won't touch it and won't mark it as a bug to send to development. Hell, Support didn't even have a Linux box to verify my claims! Apparently, they do now. Another quirk is that you can install RH7.1 and upgrade everything else (kernel, libs, desktop, etc.) independently to bring it up to RH7.3 or whatever, and it'll still be supported. Go figure.

Re:Storage of numeric data
Peter, For numeric data where you can't exactly define the size precision use a plain old number data type. It's the equivalent of float or double. I do not allow numeric data to be stored in a char or varchar field because someone sooner or later is going to slide the following into the database where field_name = 0.086 which is equivalent to where to_number(field_name) = 0.086.

The amount he sold was probably less than 5% of his holdings. I don't mean to defend ceo misconduct, corporate fraud, etc, I just think you need look this particular accusation a little more objectively, especially when you consider its source. I have great respect for McCain's war record and heroism, but now he is a politician, a Senator no less. IMHO, one can't take anything any politician says at face value. Given a choice between honesty and self-promotion, I'm afraid politicians too often choose the latter. And without getting into specifics about McCain, he seems to be second in the Senate only to my own Sen. Schumer in his love of getting on TV (Q: What's the most dangerous place in NY?

Modelling problem
Hi list I'm predicting a more philosophical discussion about how to model stuff arising at work. So I thought it might be a good idea to gather some pros and cons beforehand (Always good to have some ammunition;). The problem is about how to deal with look up tables and domain codes. Aproach a) Have one big table containing all possible domain types (like gender, account type, organizational unit etc.) and one even bigger table containing all the possible values for those domain types. The tables that use these types actually reference the value they should contain. Aproach b) Have standard look up tables for everything, for example have a table like organizational unit, which will be referenced by tables like employee via foreign key to link to the unit the emp. actually works for at this moment. I feel more comfortable about aproach b. Now people might say Why ? and I might say Normalization ?! and they might say What's that good for if aproach is much easier to implement and blahblah. Any ideas regarding pros and cons for both aproaches ?

RE: How do I check whether a rollback activity is going on
IRC, evn with MTS, a busy session should have the PID of the shared server associated with it in v$process, and only one session at a time can use the shared server. Killing it should effect only the session using the SS at that time, and MTS should spawn another. Nonetheless, I don't recommend doing it. :) Jared Sherman, Paul R.

RE: (Fwd/2)
A new boat, Ferrari, Mig fighter jet, mansion, maybe some Japanese art... the man has some serious expenses. Seriously, I know that Oracle had a problem with shady accounting practices many years ago (late 80's, if I recall correctly). Their stock took a huge hit, and they cleaned up their act. As a result, I think that they have been very conservative in there accounting practices ever since, and have not heard any accusations of untoward accounting practices since them. I admit that I know almost nothing about accounting. Still, I think it the height of hypocrisy for politicians to accuse anyone of shady accounting practices, when, as I understand, the federal govt itself doesn't abide by the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles to which corporations are expected to adhere. All the Worldcoms and Enrons added together don't equal the tax dollars flushed down the toilet due to govt waste, corruption, fraud and incompetence. As an example: http://freedom.house.gov/wastewatch/education.asp Having ceo's sign off on their company's books seems sensible enough. I suspect that when the hot air coming from DC blows over, the investigations will prove that existing laws have been broken, and there will be criminal convictions. Most people don't want to wait for investigations to run their course, and politicians pander to this lack of attention span with by pontificating on TV, then passing more laws, which at best are probably redundant, and at worst have unintended side-effects. The politicians, especially Democrats, have also successfully exploited class-envy with their screw-the-rich-we'll protect-the-little-guy act. It usually works well for them, so they take advantage of it at every opportunity.

Write a sql/plsql procedure to delete the child records first before each deleting each record from the parent table. 2. Recreate the constraints with 'cascade delete' and delete the records from parent table. After that recreate the constraints again without cascade delete. Either option requires some work.

RE: DBMS_JOB interval wierdness
When the job aborts, it increments the failures column (until it hits the broken point at 16 failures) and resubmits itself with an internally calculated restart time. From the Oracle Administrators Guide: If a job returns an error while Oracle is attempting to execute it, Oracle tries to execute it again. The first attempt is made after one minute, the second attempt after two minutes, the third after four minutes, and so on, with the interval doubling between each attempt. When the retry interval exceeds the execution interval, Oracle continues to retry the job at the normal execution interval. However, if the job fails 16 times, Oracle automatically marks the job as broken and no longer tries to execute it. Works that way here. I can't say why yours reruns every day at 1PM. I can say that if you trap the error and get a normal completion, your problem is solved.

After all, the main reason Oracle stock has lost so much value is not due to problems specific to the company, but due to problems in the market and economy as a whole. So where would the insider info come into play? And if he really did have insider info, and was acting unethically, why not sell more shares? The amount he sold was probably less than 5% of his holdings. I don't mean to defend ceo misconduct, corporate fraud, etc, I just think you need look this particular accusation a little more objectively, especially when you consider its source. I have great respect for McCain's war record and heroism, but now he is a politician, a Senator no less. IMHO, one can't take anything any politician says at face value. Given a choice between honesty and self-promotion, I'm afraid politicians too often choose the latter. And without getting into specifics about McCain, he seems to be second in the Senate only to my own Sen. Schumer in his love of getting on TV (Q: What's the most dangerous place in NY?

RE: (Fwd/2)
A lot of the current problem goes back to government intervention. Some politicians/bureaucrats complained that CEO salaries were too high or unfair and (as if they were fit to judge) they decided to control the high CEO salary problem via taxation. So guess what happened? Corporate boards felt they needed to better compensate their CEO's and compensation changed to be more oriented to stocks and options. Suddenly CEO became intensely interested in Wall Street perception and stock values, much of which is driven by accounting reports. Business practices changed because of government intervention to solve a problem and the result was an even worse problem. The original government intervention was justified as an attempt to make things more fair for the little people but the result hurt everyone, especially little people like the small investor. LAISSEZ FAIRE!! Less government = increased prosperity. Adam Smith rules. The above explanation is a bit simplistic and doesn't explain everything but the essence has merit. The market may have periods of irrational exuberance but eventually it self corrects. The founding fathers' focus was to have the government be accountable to the public but now the fixation is with having publicly owned organizations be accountable to the government. In reality public companies are accountable to the public and the correction has already taken place in the stock market. The mindset of America has been turned up-side-down and many of its values no longer reflect the values of the founding fathers or its heritage in the constitution. The founding fathers were considered liberals in their day. Liberally and rhetorically yours, :-) Steve Orr P.S. What does this have to do with Oracle? Well it's kind of like tuning with ratios...

intermedia - create and drop synonyms
Hi,
I'm having problems with intermedia for synonyms in the thesaurus. Here a list
of request that I execute and that order and their results:
select ctx_thes.SYN('disease','gdermthes_md') from DUAL;
{DISEASE}|{SICKNESS}|{MALADIE1}
execute CTX_THES.DROP_RELATION('gdermthes_md','DISEASE','SYN','maladie1');
select ctx_thes.SYN('disease','gdermthes_md') from DUAL;
{DISEASE}
execute CTX_THES.CREATE_RELATION('gdermthes_md','maladie1','SYN','DISEASE');
select ctx_thes.SYN('disease','gdermthes_md') from DUAL;
{DISEASE}|{SICKNESS}|{MALADIE1}
The problem is that when I remove the relationship between disease and
maladie1, I lose sickness as well in my synonyms for disease. On the other
hand, if I reverse the order of my parameters in the drop_relation like that:
execute CTX_THES.DROP_RELATION('gdermthes_md','maladie1','SYN','disease');
If works correctly. That creates a problem for me because for every other relationship
types, it's always source term first and target term second. I'm trying to
write generic code to handle those tasks and I don't want to do a special case
for synonyms.
Thanks for any help.

Re: (Fwd/2)
Certainly. I'm waiting for people to present more factual information. (Maybe Larry needed some petty cash for a new boat or something?) As the story was related to me, Ellison has been living off of loans (from banks, not Oracle) for the past couple decades. His alleged reasoning was that his stocks would appreciate far faster than the interest of the loans, thus making it more economical to borrow than to sell. Obviously, with such a plan, you have to pay off sometime, and in 2000 one (or more) of his lenders called in his loans for payment. Again, this is just hearsay, but that's what I've heard... ...so, in essence, he sold stock because he had (large unexpected) debts to pay. The timing of the stock sale wasn't his, it was some banker's... Instead, what you see is people defending the social privileges of the wealthy technocorporate elites, and the ethos of sleaze, extreme greed and selfishness that they are mired in. Oh, you do yourself far too much justice! My own objection was your prolonged and uninformed vitriol lacking anything more than a politician's media release for substantiation. Go measure some cache-hit ratios, please... Do you know if Oracle's accounting practices are currently documented in a way that is transparent to investors? No idea. Not of interest... I guess a lot of alleged facts will come out after the august deadline that the SEC has imposed for corporate executives to sign off on the validity of their accounting. Sure. Whatever.

How to change VB code to use bind variables?
Hi, In checking my v$SQLArea I recently discovered that there was an often executed SQL statement that was not using bind variables. I tracked it down to a VB front end and asked the development group to modify the code. They asked me how to do it. Not being a VB programmer I said I had no idea but would try to find out. Here's an abbreviated version of the code. It's the sAcctId that seems to be causing the multiple executions. Anyone know how this can be rewritten to use bind variables?

Why not say damn, how did he do it and where do I get in line to get some of that action ? I always find it interesting the envy and/or disgust that some folks have toward people who make alot of money. Think of all the middle class people Larry Ellison and crew put to work who bought homes and cars to drive our economy.

(Maybe Larry needed some petty cash for a new boat or something?) As the story was related to me, Ellison has been living off of loans (from banks, not Oracle) for the past couple decades. His alleged reasoning was that his stocks would appreciate far faster than the interest of the loans, thus making it more economical to borrow than to sell. Obviously, with such a plan, you have to pay off sometime, and in 2000 one (or more) of his lenders called in his loans for payment. Again, this is just hearsay, but that's what I've heard... ...so, in essence, he sold stock because he had (large unexpected) debts to pay. The timing of the stock sale wasn't his, it was some banker's...

escape key ???
Hi all,
I need to insert some value with as a part of the
string.
For example, insert ... values ('a b'); What escape
key should be used?
insert ... values ('a / b'); -- doesn't work
insert ... values ('a '||''||' b'); -- works, but I'd
like to know what escape key works in this case.
Thank you.

RE: escape key ???
Hi Leslie,
Sounds like your problem is in SQLPlus where the character is the prefix for
substitution variables.
Look in the SQLPlus manual under SET DEFINE and SET ESCAPE.
You can choose a different character or you can turn off substitution with SET DEFINE
OFF.
You can define an escape character with SET ESCAPE / (did you really mean to use a
forward slash?). The default on my machine is SET ESCAPE OFF which is why your first
attempt didn't work.

RE: escape key ???
The default value in SQL*Plus for escape is \ not /. / is reserved and says
'execute the statement in the buffer or the above pl/sql block'. You can set
it to a different value with SET ESCAPE command.
Use the CHR function instead of escaping.
insert into table values ('a '||chr(38)||' b');
This will be independent of any escape or other settings.
