RE: RAC or Oracle Fail Safe
Thank you to all those who replied and who intend to reply to this one :) We are using Dell PE4600 servers. My concern was that I read it somewhere that if one of the node goes down, then the clients have to restart the application to log in again to the database, is that true? And is it any different on RAC? We have the licensed RAC and Oracle Fail Safe CDs, so that is not an issue. I also believe that setting up RAC is more complex, so we wanted to confirm that if Fail Safe gives us HA, 24x7, and any change in node shifting (when active is down, passive becomes active) is transparent to the user then we should go for Fail safe. By the way, we intend to keep cluster settings of ACTIVE and PASSIVE, is there any issue regarding this? Tanel Poder: you said that, in event of failure you can start up instance on another node that will mount, recover and open the database. Doesn't the second node automatically take over? And this means that the user has to log in again, do I get it right? Best Regards, Hussain -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2003 10:44 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi! RAC - One database, two (or more) instances servicing it concurrently. If one node crashes, second one starts recovering, your uncommitted transactions and session state variables (package variables) on failed instance are lost. FailSafe - One database, one instance servicing it at any time, in event of failure you can start up instance on another node that will mount, recover and open the database. With RAC you can have some kind of transparent failover which is able to reexecute your queries on survived instance, but AFAIK for uncommitted transaction survivability your app has to be coded to support it. Also, with RAC you may scale your system up to support more users in some cases. RAC is additional $20k per CPU, FailSafe comes with EE, I believe.

RE: RAC or Oracle Fail Safe
Title: RE: RAC or Oracle Fail Safe Hi Hussain ! RAC can have Active-Active or Active-Passive combination for two nodes. While OFS can't give you Active-Active combination of two nodes. Basically a resource sharing is not possible in Oracle Fail safe so one resource can be used by only one node at one point of time. ( Resource means Hard Disk Space, Oracle Service, Listener etc). RAC can give Transparent Application Failover TAF which is out of consideration in OFS. In case of node failure on RAC System, the user will just need to attempt relogin and he will be connected _immediately_ to another surviving instance ( If tnsnames.ora is configured properly). While there is a significant amount of delay in case of OFS, the Database service has to failover from one node to another node and this may take it's own _sweet_ amount of time based on amount and type of activity being performed on the database. Of course both the systems are screwed when your (shared) storage system is down ;-) Lastly why would someone want to use only 1 out of 2 nodes when it is possible to use both the nodes? One possible answer is that, on one node you configure One server (say 9iAS) and on another node you configure database. Then under normal condition they will run on their respective nodes and when one fails they would switch-over to the surviving node. So your performance may suffer for the time during which any node is down. So you are the best judge to decide now ;-) Just my .2 c Regards, Rajesh -Original Message- HREF="">mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Hussain Ahmed Qadri Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2003 8:44 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: RAC or Oracle Fail Safe Hello all, We have setup a Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) cluster, with two nodes, using W2K, and now are in the process of deploying Oracle 9i on it.

Using the 9i version of UTL_HTTP in 8i
Dear all, Database: Oracle 8.1.7.4 Enterprise OS: HP-UX 11 We want to implement a stored proc that would send data to an http:// url using 'POST' method. The UTL_HTTP package in 8i doesn't support the POST method, while that in 9i does. We are now considering two options: 1. Install the 9i version of the package in the 8i database. If it works, this would be good, because we are planning to upgrade before 2004. 2. Use the code provided by Tom Kyte (with some modifications) in 'Oracle Expert one-on-one'.

Dennis, My understanding is that Oracle felt if it was going to be a 24x7x365 database, it had to have more parameters that could be changed online I couldn't agree more. 9i had more parameters that can be changed online; hope there are more in line. it doesn't make sense to rely on the DBA to remember to also update the init.ora file. You should be able to just make the change once. Absolutely. That's the point I was trying to raise. Oracle did provide the spfile route to make _persistent_ changes on the fly, but for only those parameters that can be changed through alter system set ... The problem was there is a different file that needs to be updated when making those other parameter changes. There should be only one place to change - hopefully spfile - either through the alter system command or othe editing. This editing could be done through a GUI interface, too, if needed; although, call me old-fashioned (and I am old, anyway, at least in IT timeline), personally I prefer the vi editor. And this is not an impossible idea. I gave the example of the listener.ora file. It can be edited (so old fashioned), through the lsntctl SAVE_CONFIG command (so spfile-like) or through Net Assistant (so GUI-friendly). The end result is the same - one file - regardless of how you modify a parameter. The same approach could have been done in pfile-spfile case. I think with the pfile and spfile, Oracle was trying to give us the best of both worlds. Hmm! You think so? I think they just gave us a half-cooked hair-brained split-pea honey-mustard-ketchup-coated germ of a solution - sort of like Oracle 6 _without_ the Transaction Processing Option, if anyone remembers that.

Re: Re: Object Types in PL/SQL
- Original Message - how does the object features improve performance of the jdbc? its fairly common now to have a java or .net(which we are using) and an Oracle backend. When we started to use JDBC, one of the things I noticed was some very unusual network traffic. Certainly more than I was expecting given the level of statements being executed. A few traces showed a lot of traffic by JDBC driver itself trying to find information about the parameters involved in a ExecutableStatement. I believe this is specific to JDBC 2 and its new MetaData functionality, but I don't know for sure. A little bit of experimentation showed that if we created an object type definition for each table involved in our procedures and used the object type to pass the parameters (each parameter is a column) to the stored procedures, the network traffic dropped dramatically. Now we use a package for each table with an object type matching the table columns used as the single parameter to each function/procedure. Each package has as a minimum a MNG_table and a DEL_table procedure, with the first one handling both INSERT and UPDATE (depending if PK is set to NULL or not). We also write getters to access the data, returning a REF CURSOR typed on the same object type. This is not only blinding fast but the network traffic is negligeable. your comments would be much appreciated. Not really comments, just the experience so far. It might change in the next version. So far it seems to work like a charm, so we're sticking with it. The next step is to get a few of the hierarchical accesses done via O-R views returning a single object with an array for the child object types. First trials seem very promising, but I have to wait for the 9i upgrade: 8i lets me do only one level of hierarchical object. After that, it's XML all the way through!

RE: RAC or Oracle Fail Safe

I totally agree with this. I am running FailSafe here also. The *only* failover's I experience is when the morons running the data center install software on the primary server and reboot the box.

For the purpose of high availability (HA), we are deliberating on setting up either RAC or Oracle Fail Safe. The confusion is over the fact that if we get HA with oracle Fail Safe, i.e. if one node is down due to any problem, then the other takes over, then can we do without RAC? Which of these two is more transparent to the user, i.e. which will take less time to shift the load from one node (server) to the other node? Can any one explain the benefits of using RAC over Oracle Fail Safe, or vice versa.

I wonder if it is something built into the file or something that vi (or whatever editor you are using) does to the file when you save it. I say that because, if you edit the text part of an export file with vi, you get an unusable file. But the text part of an export file can be edited by other means and it will work -- for example, by running it through a C or Perl program and editing the stream as it flows through the program; and I think, if the export file is not too big ( 2 gig I think ) emacs (with certain options??) can be used.

Re: DBMS_REPAIR Package
Title: Message Hi Stefick, Running stored procedures/packages is somewhat difficult with a shutdown database, so the database needs to be opened. Depending on the type of corrupted block in question answers whether or not the block is actually repaired (eg. bitmap block in ASSM segments, freelist blocks...) or simply marked as corrupt and thus could be made "skippable" meaning that your FTS will now work and skip the stuffed buggers. That said, I would recommend restoring you stuffed datafile, perform a database recovery and hope the corruption wasn't duplicated in your backup(s). dbms_repair should be used if all else fails (or you don't really mind losing that "bit" of your database).

Re: How to make SPFILE in sync with INIT.ORA ?
Hi, I really need some helps to configure my database with audit_trail option. I have tried some but fail so far. My database is Oracle 9.2. I have read all email related to spfile. Can somebody provides simple steps for me to update my specified initialization parameter in init.ora? (1) Manually change the initialization parameter, e.g. audit_trail = db in init.ora. How to sync it when re-start Oracle database? (2) Can I change the audit_trail = db initialization parameters in init.ora on-line? Any comments are appreciated! Many thanks!

Re: How to make SPFILE in sync with INIT.ORA ?
Well, I thought I answered your question earlier. Here are the steps, in more detail. I assume your database instance name is ORCL; replace with the actual. (1) With your database open, issue a command as sys SQL create pfile from spfile. (2) Go to the directory $ORACLE_HOME/dbs and make sue the timestamp of teh file initORCL.ora file is now. (3) Open the file and place the line audit_trail=db, if not already there. (4) Shutdown the database. (5) Restart SQL startup pfile=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initORCL.ora (6) Make sure the audit trail is set. SQL show parameter audit_trail. (7) resynch the SPfile. SQL create spfile from pfile; (8) And, please let us know here if they worked. If any error occurs, copy and paste the error here. HTH.

Are they any good as an aid? I've never used any of the braindum.com type web sites, nor have I bothered with any of the exam-focused books. Mostly I read manuals and experiment with new features. It helps that I'm often writing about those new features, because writing forces me to learn. The one exception is that at the OracleWorld after 9i was released, Oracle themselves offered an exam-cram class for the Oracle9i upgrade exam. I sat through one or two sessions of that class--I couldn't be there for all of them--and then took the exam. It was a close call. Probably I would not have passed without having attended Oracle's cram-session. Back in the Oracle7 days I put off and put off taking the exams because I never felt ready. (Do you ever really feel ready?) Finally, one day, I kicked myself in the rear and signed up for all four exams in one go. I passed three and flunked one, but while failing that one exam I also picked up a good idea of what it was that I needed to go learn in order to pass it the next time. That's been my basic approach ever since: try an exam, hope I pass, and if I fail at least I know what I need to go and learn. If there is a 10x upgrade exam at OracleWorld this year, you can bet that, unprepared as I am, I'll sit for it and give it a go. Perhaps I can be one of the first to fail!

Re: Security re: default and non-default roles
Leslie, First make sure they are indeed the default roles. select * from dba_role_privs where grantee = 'SCOTT' See the DEFAULT_ROLE column; it should be NO. Next, after logging in, before SET ROLE, issue select * from session_roles; to see the roles that are active now. Should be only the DEFAULT roles. If you see more, it's possible that one of those roles have default roles. For instance if DBA is a default role, select * from dba_role_privs where grantee = 'DBA'; See if any of these are default roles. I suspect you have a second level role as default which is different from Development. HTH.

Don Arup Nanda wrote: The ability to change the system parameters without bouncing the system is not provided by spfile, neither in RAC nor single instance databas. It depends upon the the parameter that can be changed dynamically or not. I guess you wanted to convey the impression that the using spfiles the parameters can be changed and the changes can be persistent across shutdowns. But that is not just in RAC; it's true for single instance DBs, too. Now, suppose you want to set a parameter that can't be changed using ALTER SYSTEM, such as, say, java_pool_size. How do you plan to make the change? You have to open up the old favorite init.ora file and start the database with pfile=init.ora option. At that stage the spfile is not active and your issuing Alter system set db_cache_size = 800m scope = [ memory | spfile | both ] sid = * has no effect. You must create the spfile from the pfile and then use the newly created spfile to use this dynamic parameter persistent. Note the complexity involved - spfile allowed you to make the changes to some parmeters using alter system persistent; but for all other parametrs you are forced to use pfile. What happens if you ommit the pfile=init.ora clause? The database will pickup the spfile, which will _not_ have your changes. To fully appreciate the value of the spfile parameter, Oracle should have allowed editing spfile directly and completely done away with pfile. Splitting functionality across two different implementations adds to difficulties, does not resolve them. I hope future versions of Oracle do offer that functionality.

If there is a 10x upgrade exam at OracleWorld this year, you can bet that, unprepared as I am, I'll sit for it and give it a go. Perhaps I can be one of the first to fail!

RE: DBMS_REPAIR Package
If you ran dbverify with the database up, it's very likely that there is nothing wrong with the datafiles. If dbv reads a block in transition, it will appear corrupt. Run it again, and there will either be no errors, or they will appear to be in different blocks. Personally, I think it a colossal waste of time to run dbverify. In 9 years of DBA'ing, I've experienced maybe 3 or 4 instances of a corrupt block, and it was always an index. The solution was to drop/rebuild the index.

RE: Physical Design Question
Title: Physical Design Question David, You don't say but, I am assuming that all your databases are at the same Oracle Release level. If this is the case, I would create one Oracle home for now - you can always create a new Oracle Home when you start considering migrating each individual database to a newer release. You didn't say if each DB has different access loads, so assuming all are the same,I would share all disks with all DB's. It will allow you to better blend all db's on the box - provide the best throughput possible. That's what I would do, unless there are some specific business reasons to not do this (like contractual stuff about availabilty for one application that the other does not have). Hope this helps.

Re: DBMS_REPAIR Package
Hi! If dbv reads a block in transition, it will appear corrupt. In 9i, I believe dbv reads a block multiple times, if it doesn't get a consistent (non-corrupted) image first time. If it gets the block ok during next attempts, block isn't reported corrupt. But if several subsequent attempts fail, a dbverify output statistic Total Pages In Flux is incremented (might be that dbv is comparing the block image just read to image of same block read in previous attempt). So that means, 9i can give correct results on open datafiles as well. (I haven't tested or verified it, its based on 9.2 docs: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch13.htm #1006796) Personally, I think it a colossal waste of time to run dbverify. No, it can be useful in several cases: validating backups, verifying restored files etc.. If at all, it can be ore like waste of IO bandwith. Also, in 9i you can do segment level dbverify, that can be quite useful in some cases. In 9 years of DBA'ing, I've experienced maybe 3 or 4 instances of a corrupt block, and it was always an index. The solution was to drop/rebuild the index. Ok, you've been lucky. I've seen them in data, index, rollback, even temp segements. And in few cases the index rebuild was definitely not a solution, because the index was a global index on one billion row table, thus it was definitely easier to restore recover in our case, than allocate huge amounts of temp space and waste a lot of IO and CPU resources for rebuilding.

RE: oracle10g
Gridlock computing is available since the dawn of computing, all that is needed is a proper application design.

RE: Another OCP slant...
I'm fortunate in having a public sector employer that believes in education (but not so fortunate because education only comes with a company stamp, so the like of the Miracle db forum are out :( ) so I did the classes apart from the network stuff cause I was bored by then. What I did find useful was the selftest software from the eponymous company, that told me what the syllabus was and where I was weak (MTS that'd be the one 0/6 repeatedly). STS stuff is cheap and purports to do some of the education as well.

NNC-00425: meta-data violation -- need sanity check!
All Im setting up a name server on Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production On windows 2000 server Im doing eerything within the namesctl utility as typically I find the gui to be too buggy for my tastes. So I have the service running C:\ namesctl Currently managing name server NS_DB2 Version banner is Oracle Names for 32-bit Windows: Version 9.2.0.1.0 - Product ... My problem is the utility does not like the syntax of my large multi db version tnsnames file 60 dbs. So, I simplify the test and just use 1 entry running on the names server. Tnsnames.ora orcl = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = db2)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = orcl) ) ) When I do a load_tnsnames I get NAMESCTL load_tnsnames Name: orcl Response status: NNC-00425: meta-data violation No records loaded This is the default tnsnames! Ummm... sanity check please!! ;-) Here we have the error definitions whch arent really helpful http://storacle.princeton.edu:9001/oracle8-doc/server.805/a58312/net8nnc 1.htm So I turn to the water walkers on this list grin!! This has to be a bug. I was counting on pulling in the one 9.2 tns entry and then entering the other 60 by hand yecch!!

RE: How to make SPFILE in sync with INIT.ORA ?
Kirti wrote The other parameters that will get you in the same trouble are related to the special buffer pools.. I ran into this issue with 9iR1 and decided to stay away from SPFILE stuff... The failure of Oracle (programmers) checking for such exclusiveness (?) tells their background. Doesn't it? I forget where I read this (may a post right here), but, someone suggested to create a database trigger (to fire before shutdown) to write out pfile from spfile. Good idea, I think. And keep a backup of the init.ora. Yeah that makes sense, and we mandate that any parameter change goes to both the spfile and the pfile and is documented a trigger would be a good way to do this. Then I got to thinking, well I have to keep the pfile backed up anyway in text form, I have to write cchange documentation for a change, so in fact the pfile saves me , um nothing.

Distributed Oracle
I have a customer whose long term goal is to have what would probably be close to RAS, but with the servers on a FAST backbone and about 500-800 feet apart... Is there a way to put that together with hardware software? In some ways they may even want to force a splitting of the load perhaps putting AR, AP, and GL users on one box and Inventory on the other box. It's the "distance" thing that I'm not sure about as the servers will be Windows 2000 Server. It's only a 9 gig database, and really needs a lot of tuning, but still, we're not talking terabytes.
