Re: Oracle 9.2 Stability Feedback Requested
All the bugs? Possible? Perhaps... Reality? Nope. The crippling bugs with SMU appear (at first glance) to be fixed in 9.2, but there is no shortage of other bugs. The first one I found was with many queries against the data dictionary being 70-180 times slower! I'm running 9.2.0.1 on Linux - exclusive and RAC - but not yet production. On the 9.2.0.1 RAC nodes, I'm getting tons of trace files with CMInit warnings, but support said Don't worry. Be happy. Its OK Searching for patches for 9.2.0.1 on Linux, I get 22 hits.

Re: Shutdown Immediate Hanging
My recommendation #1 would be not to shutdown at all. Oracle spent all that time and money devising wonderfully complex memory management (which they pass on to us as license dollars) so shutting down is like throwing money in the toilet.. My recommendation #2 is (for those rare times when you need to shutdown) to not use shutdown immediate - because they got the name wrong :-) If you need to shutdown, I'd just do: alter system checkpoint; shutdown abort hth connor --- Steve Perry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: MessageI hope somebody can help me with this shutdown problem. There's 2 questions unless: how to troubleshoot a stalled shutdown and the best way to deal with it. #1 - Database hangs during shutdown We have several instances running 8.1.7.3 on Win2k and continue to have intermittent shutdown problems. The shutdown never completes. Here's are the steps used to stop the database 1.) Stop the application servers 1.) run a kill session script to kill all remaining sessions except the one running the script 2.) issue shutdown immediate and hope it shuts down. At this point, the database closes but it never dismounts. We never receive the Completed: ALTER DATABASE DISMOUNT Is there anything I can do to diagnose the problem at this point? After 15 minutes, Arcserve backs up the files to tape (delay field in arcserve job). After the backup is complete, the database startup script is run. The alert log says the startup is normal, but no connections are allowed into the database. I either have to do a shutdown abort or stop the service and then I can start the database. I wrote a script to detect the shutdown hangs that will page me, do a shutdown abort, startup and then shutdown immediate (before the backup job starts) There's not much I can do when it stalls and I don't mind running the script if it won't corrupt my database. Is there a better way to handle this? I checked metalink and opened a tar. Oracle said it was a security dll issue with MS and that I should change the scripts to shutdown the service instead of using svrmgrl or sqlplus. That was fine until I realized that stopping the service will do a shutdown immediate. If the database doesn't complete before the ora_SID_shutdown_timeout value, it does a shutdown abort (or equivalent).

utl_file_dir vs create directory
Okay, I'll admit I know nothing about the create directory command and am off to read the fine manuals as soon as I hit send on this my developer sent me an email saying do you know of this new feature create_directory? it is recommended to use create_directory instead of utl_file_dir First, she's not in, I can't ask her WHO recommended it. But I will. Second, I think she meant create directory, without the underscore.

Strange Data issue.....
Title: Strange Data issue. Hello Gurus, I have a problem which I hope someone can help me with. I am trying to clean up some data on a table. This table happens to be a personnel table. In this table there are two columns RACE and GENDER. The select used is : select race||','||gender||','||count(*) from pers group by race, gender; The result is as follows: A,F,62 A,M,613 A,M,35 A,,15 C,F,34 C,M,198 C,M,4 C,,2 I,F,13 I,M,69 I,M,1 W,F,205 W,M,972 W,M,28 W,,15 The problem is that the result returns double Ms, M indicating Male. As highligthed above I have tried converting to ascii to see if they are different in anyway but both Ms return ascii 77. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

One potential problem in 9.2 ... was RE: Oracle 9.2 Stability Fee
So far we haven't found our problem in a testing environment it is 9201 on a RAC cluster. We are having difficulty getting 6i reports server to run, but no major problems. Okay here is something I will be investigating ... something for you all to think about. The query is something like this ... select col_1, col_2, nvl(col_3,'X') col_3 from table_a union select col_1, col_2, 'X' col_3 from table_b / This is of course not the complete query but just to give you all an idea. What happens is col_3 is actually defined as varchar2(2) in the database. Sometimes the value for this column be null, single character or two characters. This is working fine in our 8161 database, oracle forms passes parameter to a database packaged procedure which has this code. When we moved this to 9.2, the query started giving ORA-6502 errors. When removed col_3 from the query, things were just fine. Here is the catch, after playing with it for about 15 minutes, I changed the nvl clause to NVL(col_3, 'XX') col_3 thing worked as before, no errors. What gives?? I will try to test this again, but has any of you encountered this before? BTW yesterday I searched on Metalink for all bugs reported in 9.2.0.1 and fixed in 10.0.0.0, there were 7 bugs reported to be fixed in 10i. Some of them may be back ported, but isn't is good to know?

There's 2 questions unless: how to troubleshoota stalledshutdown and the best way to deal with it. #1 - Database hangs during shutdown We have several instances running 8.1.7.3 on Win2k and continue to have intermittent shutdown problems. The shutdown never completes. Here's are the steps used to stop the database 1.) Stop the application servers 1.) run a kill session script to kill all remaining sessions except the one running the script 2.) issue shutdown immediate and hope it shuts down. At this point, the database closes but it never dismounts. We never receive the "Completed: ALTER DATABASE DISMOUNT" Is there anything I can do to diagnose the problem at this point? After 15 minutes, Arcservebacks upthe files to tape (delay fieldin arcserve job). After the backup is complete, the database startup script is run. The alert log says the startup is normal, but no connections are allowed into the database. I either have to do a shutdown abort or stop the service and then I can start the database. I wrote a script to detectthe shutdownhangsthat will page me, do a shutdown abort, startup and thenshutdown immediate (before the backup job starts) There's not much I can do when it stalls and I don't mind running the script if it won't corrupt my database. Is there a better way to handle this? I checked metalink and opened a tar. Oracle said it was a security dll issue with MS and that I should change the scripts to shutdown the service instead of using svrmgrl or sqlplus. That was fine until I realized that stopping the service will do a shutdown immediate. If thedatabase doesn't complete before the ora_SID_shutdown_timeout value, it does a shutdown abort (or equivalent). Thanks, Steve

More so, we are handicapped in the circumstances, as the South Africa Civil Service Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore account hence your importance in the whole transaction.

I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be willing to assist us in the transaction, your share of the sum will be 25% of the $21.5 million, 70% for us and 5% for taxation and miscellaneous expenses.

RE: Moving Oracle 9i / Windows 2000 Database to Red Hat Linux 7.
Dennis,In my case Net8 connection is not feasible because I have both OS Windows 2000/ Linux on the same machine using dual boot. So the only option for me is to export the required user from Windows database and then import from Linux database. But please note that I have source database Windows 2000/9i, but the source database is Linux/8.1.6. Can this be any problem for export/import.Recently I copied a database from a Window machine to another window machine by copying the database files, redo log file, control files etc to target machine in the corresponding directory and just created a service on the target machine by using oradim and it worked fine. Is that possible if you want to move the database and other files of Windows OS database to a Linux OS database and then use svrmgrl to do something similar to get windows database working on Linux. I know for this to work, I need to recreate or make changes to control file.

declare ft utl_file.file_type;
begin ft:=utl_file.fopen('TMP','x.gf','w');
utl_file.put(ft,'X!@#$'); utl_file.fclose(ft);end;/

RE: Moving Oracle 9i / Windows 2000 Database to Red Hat Linux 7.
Kumar,
You
can't copy the datafiles between OSs unless they are binary compatable, with
Windows and any
flavor
of Unix are not. Also, you will have problems trying to export from 9i and
import to 8i. You need
to run
the export using 8i executables, or at least I could never get it to work any
other way. Is there
a
reason you can't install 9i on the Linux side? Also, if you are saying
that both "machines" are the
same
hardware ("dual boot"), how do you expect to get the .dmp file from one "side"
to the "other side"?
Do you
have some network storage somewhere?
Good

RE: Moving Oracle 9i / Windows 2000 Database to Red Hat Linux 7.
Kumar - Generally, export/import expects to be going to a higher level of Oracle. If you are moving the data from 8.1.6 to 9i, then that will present no problems. Going the other way, moving data from 9i to 8.1.6 can pose problems. The usual recommendation is to use the 8.1.6 exp program against the 9i database. Are the Linux/W2K files binary compatible. I don't know myself, but somebody does. Learn the techniques for cloning an Oracle database. I believe http://www.orafaq.com http://www.orafaq.com has a paper on this. If not, just search using Google. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc.

Oracle Applications Hanging
I'm sorry for posting this again, but I thought maybe it skipped everyone's eye. Every once in a while the oracle applications hang, because the listener is taking too much CPU.

RE: Pro*C error after install
You favorite Unix vendor should ship you ANSI C compiler, preferably for free. Other solution is obtain a binary for gcc from http://www.gcc.org and change makefile line CC=/usr/ucb/cc to read CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc. If you chose the latter, you will have to tweak the makefile a bit so that it works. Let me warn you in advance: this is not easy. Using SUN's compiler you'll pay some more but you will lose much less time. In the end, the cost for your company will be the same, regardless of the option you chose. -Original Message- From: Smith, Ron L.
