RE: Way of extracting record
IF you can identify the problem rows automatically, and flag them as such in your production environment, then you can have those rows automatically copied (or moved - your choice) to your development machine (presumably using database links). For what its worth, we have been doing just this for years, fully automated. Its replication, but not as Oracle recognises the term! peter edinburgh Deshpande, Kirti [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01-10-2002 02:13 PM Please respond to ORACLE-L To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject:RE: Way of extracting record 1.

Re: ok so i'm bored working on rman scripts
And it already is much better. There are some holes, such as the REPORT NEED BACKUP command lacking any awareness of archivelog backups (i.e. only reporting the state of datafile backups alone), but it's easy enough to write custom queries to deal with that. But calling it a hole might be too strong, because with custom-written backup scripts, you don't have *anything* to query and have to parse/examine log output to determine if what's backed up and what's not... As far as more basic backup/restore functionality holes, it's mostly gotchas and diligent catalog maintenance at this point (9i), although better support for object point-in-time recovery would sure be nice so we can put the final nails into the coffin of people using exports for backup purposes. Still, even that can be crafted by reverse-engineering the actual RMAN commands hiding behind macros like DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE, and 9i at least offers the ability to perform this down to the tablespace level (if not the object-level)... Go for it, indeed!

Re: OT: oracle-dba.com domain auction
With the economy in the tank and most of the successful web businesses being the old bricks and mortar stores with another means to penetrate the market, did you expect otherwise? A web presence is so passive that it is not much of an investment without the ability to do collateral advertising. Especially, something as marginal as a specialized oracle web site. I did the research a couple of months ago for a site like this and concluded I could not make it pay off. There are some major league players who are no longer in the phone book (or on the web). I had to ask myself, with compelling data in hand, What made me think I was smarter than they were?. Lacking a good answer I set the whole idea aside for another day.

RE: Perl::DBI problems after charset change

Though I've never had this problem with Perl, I have had it with SAP.
If NLS_LANG is set incorrectly at the client, it won't work.
In your Perl:
$ENV{NLS_LANG} = 'whatever';
Try it, you might like it. :)

RE: RE: Setting Cursor Sharing = Force in 8.1.7.3
We are in 8.1.7.0 and the bug 2225065 is not there. From: Jesse, Rich [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 28 Sep 2002 08:27:34 -0500 Subject: RE: Setting Cursor Sharing = Force in 8.1.7.3 Nat, We are currently using CS=F on 8.1.7.2 and we'll be patching to 8.1.7.4 soon. You need to be made aware of some severe problems with this in 8i. We've run across BUG 2225065 listed on MetaLink. It says that you can actually get incorrect results in certain queries when using CS=F. Luckily one of our developers noticed the very subtle problem and we were able to use ALTER SESSION SET CURSOR_SHARING=EXACT for his particular program. The catch is finding all the affected queries! Also, we get sporadic ORA-600s that can be attributed to CS=F, but it hasn't been a showstopper yet. For more CS=F issues, you will want to check Metalink doc 120607.1. It has pointers to the docs that have all the fixes for all the 8.1.7.x releases. There are a few important fixes in .3 and .4. Offhand, I don't remember if the BUG I mentioned is fixed in either release. . HTH!

RE: Indexing SYS tables
Rich, I think you're crazy adding indexes SYS tables. I would *never* add anything to sys objects. What are you going to do the first time something goes wrong and you call Oracle support and you mention you added an index and they say - hey, you're on your own! Not to mention that when you perform an upgrade, that this index may either get lost or be in the way. No, a totally bad idea. If anything, I would copy the audit records to a local table in your schema, and then index that baby anyway I'd like. That way, the system objects are the way that Oracle inteneded them to be. Just my 2 cents.

Though I've never had this problem with Perl, I have had it with SAP.
If NLS_LANG is set incorrectly at the client, it won't work.
In your Perl:

Thanks to all of you for the assistance. I have the package working by coding the directory into the utl_file.fopen command and the files are being created okay.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/30/02 10:53AM List, I have a package that creates files on the server. The directory location and file name are obtained from tables in oracle. The procedure works as designed on Novell 7.3.4 and no changes were needed when the database way loaded on Linux Oracle 8.1.7. I am trying to move the database from the Novell to an OPENVMS Oracle 8.1.7 server and I can't get the package to write the files to the OS directory. The package is created by the Oracle user DTSUSER and executed by DTSUSER. There is no OPENVMS user DTSUSER. The sysadmin assures me that the permissions are correct to write to the directory. I have place a Dbms_output in the package to display the directory information and it looks correct.

RE: Perl::DBI problems after charset change (MORE INFO -- longish
[first post bounced from fatcity.com with /var/spool/mail/autoresp: Permission denied. among other errors] I think I'm getting somewhere, but the research has given me the security heebie-jeebies. As I'm tracing at SUPPORT level on the server side of a test DB (can't trace on the client because it's production), two major differences pop out at me. First, the connect packets have the text in a different order: Perl/DBI: (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=testsid)(SRVR=DEDICATED)(CID=(PROGRAM=)(HOST=myclient)(US ER=rjesse)))(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=myserver)(PORT=1521)) )) SQL*Plus: (ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=myserver)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DA TA=(SID=testsid)(SRVR=DEDICATED)(CID=(PROGRAM=)(HOST=myclient)(USER=rjesse)) )(FADRL=(FC=)(FG=))) Second, all other packets to and from Perl/DBI have every byte zero-terminated, whereas SQL*Plus doesn't. (Not knowing exactly where the password is, I've *d out and xxd out some bytes where I believe the encoded password and some other sensitive data to be) Perl/DBI: nsprecv: 267 bytes from transport nsprecv: tlen=267, plen=267, type=6 nsprecv: packet dump nsprecv: 01 0B 00 00 06 00 00 00 || nsprecv: 00 00 03 51 03 00 17 B9 |...Q| nsprecv: 10 00 00 00 06 00 17 DB || nsprecv: F2 00 00 00 11 00 00 00 || nsprecv: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 || nsprecv: 00 00 00 00 00 00 17 DD || nsprecv: 6E 00 00 00 05 00 17 DF |n...| nsprecv: 6C 00 00 00 04 00 17 DE |l...| nsprecv: 6D 00 00 00 06 00 00 08 |m...| nsprecv: 00 00 17 E0 6B 00 00 00 |k...| nsprecv: 05 00 17 E1 6A 00 00 00 |j...| nsprecv: 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 | ...| nsprecv: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 || nsprecv: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 || nsprecv: 00 00 00 00 00 00 xx 00 |..U.| nsprecv: xx 00 xx 00 xx 00 xx 00 |N.A.M.E.| nsprecv: xx 00 xx 00 xx 00 xx 00 |1.*.*.*.| nsprecv: xx 00 xx 00 xx 00 xx 00 |*.*.*.*.| nsprecv: 42 00 xx 00 44 00 45 00 |B.*.D.E.| nsprecv: 34 00 41 00 xx 00 38 00 |4.A.8.8.| nsprecv: 45 00 32 00 70 00 74 00 |E.2.p.t.| nsprecv: 73 00 2F 00 35 00 xx 00 |s./.5.*.| nsprecv: xx 00 xx 00 xx 00 72 00 |*.*.*.r.| nsprecv: 6A 00 65 00 73 00 73 00 |j.e.s.s.| nsprecv: 65 00 31 00 37 00 30 00 |e.1.7.0.| nsprecv: 30 00 39 00 63 00 75 00 |0.9.c.u.| nsprecv: 72 00 73 00 6F 00 72 00 |r.s.o.r.| nsprecv: 5F 00 73 00 68 00 61 00 |_.s.h.a.| nsprecv: 72 00 69 00 6E 00 67 00 |r.i.n.g.| nsprecv: 5F 00 40 00 xx 00 xx 00 |_.@.*.*.| nsprecv: xx 00 xx 00 20 00 28 00 |*.*. .(.| nsprecv: 54 00 4E 00 53 00 20 00 |T.N.S. .| nsprecv: 56 00 31 00 2D 00 56 00 |V.1.-.V.| nsprecv: 32 00 29 00 00 00 00 00 |2.).| nsprecv: normal exit SQL*Plus: nsprecv: 193 bytes from transport nsprecv: tlen=193, plen=193, type=6 nsprecv: packet dump nsprecv: 00 C1 00 00 06 00 00 00 || nsprecv: 00 00 03 76 02 00 1B 51 |...v...Q| nsprecv: 20 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 | ...| nsprecv: 01 FF BE DC 48 00 00 00 |H...| nsprecv: 04 FF BE DA B8 FF BE DA || nsprecv: B2 xx xx xx xx xx xx 00 |.UNAME1.| nsprecv: 00 00 0D 0D 41 55 54 48 |AUTH| nsprecv: 5F 54 45 52 4D 49 4E 41 |_TERMINA| nsprecv: 4C 00 00 00 05 05 70 74 |L.pt| nsprecv: 73 2F 35 00 00 00 00 00 |s/5.| nsprecv: 00 00 13 13 41 55 54 48 |AUTH| nsprecv: 5F 50 52 4F 47 52 41 4D |_PROGRAM| nsprecv: 5F 4E 4D 00 41 55 54 00 |_NM.AUT.| nsprecv: 00 00 18 18 73 71 6C 70 |sqlp| nsprecv: 6C 75 73 40 xx xx xx xx |lus@| nsprecv: 20 28 54 4E 53 20 56 31 | (TNS V1| nsprecv: 2D 56 33 29 00 00 00 00 |-V3)| nsprecv: 00 00 00 0C 0C 41 55 54 |.AUT| nsprecv: 48 5F 4D 41 43 48 49 4E |H_MACHIN| nsprecv: 45 00 00 00 04 04 xx xx |E.**| nsprecv: xx xx 00 00 00 00 00 00 |**..| nsprecv: 00 08 08 41 55 54 48 5F |...AUTH_| nsprecv: 50 49 44 00 00 00 05 05 |PID.| nsprecv: 31 39 32 37 38 00 00 00 |19278...| nsprecv: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 || nsprecv: normal exit From the Perl/DBI session trace, the next packet is the ORA-1017 sent to the client: nspsend: 162 bytes to transport nspsend: packet dump nspsend: 00 A2 00 00 06 00 00 00 || nspsend: 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 03 || nspsend: F9 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 || nspsend: 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 |...@| nspsend: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 || nspsend: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 || nspsend: 00 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 || nspsend: FE 40 00 4F 00 52 00 41 |.@.O.R.A| nspsend: 00 2D 00 30 00 31 00 30 |.-.0.1.0| nspsend: 00 31 00 37 00 3A 00 20 |.1.7.:. | nspsend: 00 69 00 6E 00 76 00 61 |.i.n.v.a| nspsend: 00 6C 00 69 00 64 00 20 |.l.i.d. | nspsend: 00 75 00 73 00 65 00 72 |.u.s.e.r| nspsend: 00 6E 00 61 00 6D 00 65 |.n.a.m.e| nspsend: 00 2F 00 70 00 61 00 73 |./.p.a.s| nspsend: 00 73 26 00 77 00 6F 00 |.s.w.o.| nspsend: 72 00 64 00 3B 00 20 00 |r.d.;. .| nspsend: 6C 00 6F 00 67 00 6F 00 |l.o.g.o.| nspsend: 6E 00 20 00 64 00 65 00 |n. .d.e.| nspsend: 6E 00 69 00 65 00 64 00 |n.i.e.d.| nspsend: 0A 00 00 00 00

Generic Connectivity using ODBC MyODBC to connect to MySQL database

We're using Solaris 8, Oracle 8.1.7, MyODBC 3.51 and have got as far as getting a basic connection working so we can do simple selects.

RE: TSPITR Question
Also only available on Enterprise Edition. - Babette -Original Message- WILLIAMS Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 10:03 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Brian - Since nobody seems to have responded to your question, yes, there are plenty of opportunities for gotchas with TSPITR. To recover deleted data, you may want to take a look at LogMiner. Less risk. Normally, to recover deleted data, you will be performing the TSPITR on a test (or recovery) database so you avoid losing the data changes that were made to your production system after the deletion. Otherwise, you are performing a full database point in time recovery. The concept behind TSPITR is to perform recovery on a small subset of your database somewhere separate from your production database, then once you've recovered the data you need, export and import it back to the production system. Without more details on your situation and your experience level, about the most help I can be is to say take a full backup first. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 4:03 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L List - I have the opportunity to learn first-hand about TSPITR today. I need to recover a good bit of data that was recently deleted, and do not have a recent enough export to work from. My question is this - I'm reading the documentation now, and one of the big, bold Notes is that you should *NOT* try TSPITR for the first time on a production database, or if you have a time constraint. From looking at the instructions, I believe that I understand what to do, and while I would love to test this on another instance, I may not be able to. So I ask you - do you know of any gotchas that I need to be aware of??

Dark side of the force
Hi all, I'll be seeing the dark side of the force as I'll be the DBA on a DB2 UDB project. Is there a list like this one for DB2 ? Any links to DB2 stuff ? I'd be interested in documents showing the differences/similarities between Oracle and DB2 UDB.

how to find out the patch applied on different env.
Dear all, I have a situation where I need to find out the patches applied on different Oracle Application 11i (11.5.5) env. We have two environment PROD and TEST. It seems that there are some patches applied to TEST in the past few months. I would like to know what patches are applied on TEST env: Database stack Application stack $APPL_TOP Technology stack (Forms, reports, Jinitiator). There is neither manual logging system where I can find the patch details nor locating the files applpatch.txt or applptch.txt on the server. Is there any other way I can easily find out the difference between those two instances in respect to patches? Thanks in advance.

Shutdown all instances using this $ORACLE_HOME. 3. You need 7.3.4 distributive and run orainst/orainst from their stage area (or direct from CD). Select Install or Upgarade action. You must have 7.3.4 after that. 4. Then go to 7.3.4.4 patch software stage area and make described patch procedure (see README* ). 5.Startup all instances using this $ORACLE_HOME.
