High disk , query values with Global non-prefixed Local indexes

2003-07-30 Thread VIVEK_SHARMA








Qs  Why the larger values of disk=45 , query = 525 when
using Global indexes  Non-prefixed local indexes 

VERSUS Local Prefixed indexes where dis = 0 
query = 0 in the CASES below ? 



Qs How significantly can this affect the performance
thruput ?

RE: Triggers - How expensive when set on heavily loaded tables ?

2003-07-30 Thread VIVEK_SHARMA
CASE - If Only 1 record is found in TABLE_1 (on the average) for 8 records INSERTED 
into TRAN_TBL 

Qs Is the Overhead of Checking the condition by the trigger also a significant portion 
OTHER than the actual execution by the trigger of INSERT into TABLE_2 on finding a 
match in TABLE_1? 
Any percentage proportion ratios of Checking Overhead TO execution ( INSERT ) overhead 
?

Any Docs , Links on such ?

Thanks

Qs 1) Whenever an Account ID is transacted - INSERT occurs into a table TRAN_TBL as 
part of the transaction , Additionally the Account ID is checked for existence in 
another table say TABLE_1 . If found , a record is inserted into yet another  table 
say TABLE_2 . 
 
Qs. Operations involving TABLE_1  TABLE_2 if managed using triggers , How expensive 
in CPU  performance will it be ?

NOTE - TRAN_TBL undergoes very large volumes of Concurrent OLTP INSERT transaction .


Qs 2) If an alert is to be raised on addition of a new record to TABLE_2 :-
a) Can trigger be used ? 
b) Should a cron job running every 5 min. look at TABLE_2  based on the time criteria 
generates the alert ?

Thanks

indexing PDF's using intermedia (8.1.7), not happening

2003-07-30 Thread rahul sharma



List, 

I have installed intermedia, and been using it for 
the last couple of weeks without nay problems,
recently, after uploading a PDF documents in the 
blob column, i found out that the contents of PDF's are
not being indexed !!! i have tried sync the index 
also.. all the other formats (word,ppt' etc) are indexed
automatically (m running the ctxsrv) 

the ctxsys.ctx_index_errors tables show the 
following error when i try to index...

DRG-11101: failed to open file 
C:\WINNT\TEMP\drgut27 

i have searched metalink, and it says to create a 
new filter.. i did that too.. 

SQL exec 
ctx_ddl.create_preference('myfilter', 'USER_FILTER'); 
SQL exec 
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('myfilter', 'command', 'auto_filt.bat');

SQL create index idx_documents on 
documents(blob_content)INDEXTYPE is ctxsys.contextparameters 
('filter myfilter section group ctxsys.html_section_group');

but still the PDF's do not appear in index !!!, all 
metalink docs point to ORA_HOME/ctx/bin directory !!
but i could not locate the directory on my NT 
server !!! very wierd indeed... 

again.. the indexing works for all other formats... 
other than PDF's 

TIA

Rahul

RE: direct path write waits, please help

2003-07-30 Thread Hans de Git
FYI

The application that is causing the wait events is a third party product 
that really sucks (autocommit, no bind variables, bad data model, etc., 
etc.) We're on EMC Symmetrix. There are hardly any wait-io's measurable on 
AIX; the log file sync problem is not so much of a problem; moving to raw 
volumes for the redologs should put the log file sync waits down in the 
top-n.

Indeed, the direct path writes have a neglible effect on overall response 
time. I just want to get a good understanding of the 'direct path writes'.
sorts (disk) =4
physical writes direct = 2,444,555
physical writes  = 2,470,809

Those are statistics gathered in a two hour interval.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But, I would like to know how this seemingly high wait for 'direct path 
write' is affecting the
overall response time. (ResponseTime = WaitTime + ServiceTime)

If the 'CPU used by this session' is not considered in light of these wait 
times, aren't you
getting ready to bark at the wrong tree?

 Hans,

 Now let me guess Your disks are all RAID 5, right? And you possibly 
are
 bottlenecking on CPU as well? It is clear from the Top 5 that writes are 
an
 issue across the board, to TEMP (direct path write), Redo (log file sync)
 and DB files (db file parallel writes). Creating a RAID 1 set of disks 
and
 moving at least the TEMP, RBS, Redo (and Arch if present) to this will
 definitely help.

 Hi All,

 Please help me tune this i/o related wait event. This is my 8.1.6 
statspack
 top-5 wait list:
 Top 5 Wait Events
 ~ Wait %

 4.61
 db file parallel write  1,8933,115
 4.32

 You'll notice that 'direct path write' is the most expensive one in the
 list. I cannot find enough info on the net about this wait event, 
therefore
 I'm asking the real experts.

 What events in Oracle trigger this wait event? In what way is this event
 different from db file parallel write?
 I mostly read comments that suggest lots of sorting and parallallel 
queries.

 However, most sorts are done in memory and degree = 0 for all tables.

 Any suggestions are very welcome.

 Thanks,
 Hans de Git

RE: High disk , query values with Global non-prefixed Local ind

2003-07-30 Thread Suhen Pather



Vivek,

Probably due to blocks being cached in memory.

Those values are 
not high. Especially when you getting sub second response 
times.

ORA-27101 RH linux 9 Oracle 9.2.0.3

2003-07-30 Thread Jack van Zanen
Title: ORA-27101 RH linux 9 Oracle 9.2.0.3





Hi,



I have above setup on my homebox. Every now and then I get Oracle error 27101, and have to restart the database. I can connect / as sysdba and select * from v$database though.

Has anybody seen this happen before and may be able to help me with this.??


The only thing that I can see is a trace file (I don't know if this is from the same time as when the database stopped serving requests) from the archiver. There is nothing in the alert log whatsoever.

Is it normal behaviour that logswitches are recorded to trace files??


I have stopped the archiver process to see if that makes the problem go away.

Either your 4 disk sorts are huge  generating lot's of IO or there direct
writes aren't because of sorting.
They could be because NOCACHE LOB access for example (also CTAS and direct
path insert). You should view 10046 level 8 output and check in which file
are the IOs occurring.

 FYI

 The application that is causing the wait events is a third party product
 that really sucks (autocommit, no bind variables, bad data model, etc.,
 etc.) We're on EMC Symmetrix. There are hardly any wait-io's measurable on
 AIX; the log file sync problem is not so much of a problem; moving to raw
 volumes for the redologs should put the log file sync waits down in the
 top-n.

 Indeed, the direct path writes have a neglible effect on overall response
 time. I just want to get a good understanding of the 'direct path writes'.
 sorts (disk) =4
 physical writes direct = 2,444,555
 physical writes  = 2,470,809

 Those are statistics gathered in a two hour interval.

 But, I would like to know how this seemingly high wait for 'direct path
 write' is affecting the
 overall response time. (ResponseTime = WaitTime + ServiceTime)

 If the 'CPU used by this session' is not considered in light of these wait
 times, aren't you
 getting ready to bark at the wrong tree?

Re: direct path write waits, please help

2003-07-30 Thread Hans de Git
Could it be that hash joins account for the writes to TEMP without 
increasing the sort stats? Or 'group by' statements, perhaps?

In a 10 minute interval, I can see no increase in the number of sorts to 
disk, but the writes and reads from v$tempstat increase by thousands.

If that's the case, then I think I should increase sort_area_size and/or 
hash_area_size (memory is not an issue...). Please correct me if i'm wrong. 
Would it be beneficial to change optimizer_index_caching or 
optimizer_index_cost_adj to force Oracle into using more nested loops?

Don't get me wrong: I'm all against throwing hardware at an application that 
is so poorly written. But we've past that point, the supplier will not 
change its behaviour, and from a functional point of view, the end-users are 
very satisfied. Bummer..

Re: direct path write waits, please help

2003-07-30 Thread Tanel Poder
Hi!

Group by is still doing sorting, and is accounted in sorts stats (unless
an index scan wasn't used to get rows in desired order).
But yes, hash joins don't increase sort stats by themselves.

You should check 10046 level 8 output, find which SQL statement is doing
direct path writes, then get execution plan for these statements to see
whether they are using hash joins (since you are on 8.1.6, it can be bit
problematic, because execution path information is stored in raw trace file
starting from 8.1.7 AFAIK. Problematic in sense that, when doing explain
plan under regular session, some session parameters might be different than

But if you find out, that statements with hash join execution plans are the

 Could it be that hash joins account for the writes to TEMP without
 increasing the sort stats? Or 'group by' statements, perhaps?

 In a 10 minute interval, I can see no increase in the number of sorts to
 disk, but the writes and reads from v$tempstat increase by thousands.

 If that's the case, then I think I should increase sort_area_size and/or
 hash_area_size (memory is not an issue...). Please correct me if i'm
wrong.
 Would it be beneficial to change optimizer_index_caching or
 optimizer_index_cost_adj to force Oracle into using more nested loops?

 Don't get me wrong: I'm all against throwing hardware at an application
that
 is so poorly written. But we've past that point, the supplier will not
 change its behaviour, and from a functional point of view, the end-users
are
 very satisfied. Bummer..

 Hi!

 Either your 4 disk sorts are huge  generating lot's of IO or there direct
 writes aren't because of sorting.
 They could be because NOCACHE LOB access for example (also CTAS and direct
 path insert). You should view 10046 level 8 output and check in which file
 are the IOs occurring.

Hi!

Group by is still doing sorting, and is accounted in sorts stats (unless
an index scan wasn't used to get rows in desired order).
But yes, hash joins don't increase sort stats by themselves.
You should check 10046 level 8 output, find which SQL statement is doing
direct path writes, then get execution plan for these statements to see
whether they are using hash joins (since you are on 8.1.6, it can be bit
problematic, because execution path information is stored in raw trace file
starting from 8.1.7 AFAIK. Problematic in sense that, when doing explain
plan under regular session, some session parameters might be different than
using the application).
But if you find out, that statements with hash join execution plans are the
ones waiting on direct path access on temp datafiles, you should also enable
event 10104 at level 1 to get hash join trace information. Maybe your
statistics are not up to date, that CBO thinks based on ancient statistics

2003-07-30 Thread SSILVA9
Title: Message









Have you tried to
reconnect to the instance? Does the instance shuts down or your connection?



Try changing the
following parameters: 



Oracle9i

Installation Guide

Release 2 (9.2.0.1.0) for
UNIX Systems: AIX-Based Systems, Compaq Tru64 UNIX, HP

9000 Series HP-UX, Linux
Intel, and Sun Solaris



2-20 Installation
Guide



Perform the
following steps to modify the kernel parameters by using the /proc

file system.

1. Log in as the root user.

2. Change to the /proc/sys/kernel
directory.

3. Review the current semaphore
parameter values in the sem file by using the

cat or more
utility.
For example, using the cat utility, enter the following

command:

# cat sem

The output
lists, in order, the values for the SEMMSL, SEMMNS, SEMOPM,

and SEMMNI
parameters. The following example shows how the output

appears:

250 32000 32 128

In the
preceding output example, 250 is the value of the SEMMSL parameter,

32000 is the
value of the SEMMNS parameter, 32 is the value of the SEMOPM

parameter, and
128 is the value of the SEMMNI parameter.

4. Modify the parameter values by
using the following command syntax:

# echo SEMMSL_value SEMMNS_value SEMOPM_value SEMMNI_value  sem

Replace the
parameter variables with the values for your system in the order

that they are
entered in the preceding example. For example:

# echo 100 32000 100 100
 sem

5. Review the current shared
memory parameters by using the cat or more

utility. For
example, using the cat utility, enter the following command:

# cat shared_memory_parameter

In the
preceding example, the variable shared_memory_parameter is either the

SHMMAX or
SHMMNI parameter. The parameter name must be entered in

lowercase
letters.

6. Modify the shared memory
parameter by using the echo utility. For example,

to modify the
SHMMAX parameter, enter the following command:

# echo 2147483648  shmmax

7. Modify the shared memory
parameter by using the echo utility. For example,

to modify the
SHMMNI parameter, enter the following command:

Setup Tasks to Perform as
root User

# echo 4096  shmmni

8. Modify the shared memory
parameter by using the echo utility. For example,

to modify the
SHMALL parameter, enter the following command:

# echo 2097152  shmall

9. Write a script to initialize
these values during system startup, and include the

script in your
system init files.

10. Set the File Handles by using ulimit
-n and /proc/sys/fs/file-max.

# echo 65536 
/proc/sys/fs/file-max

ulimit -n 65536

11. Set the Sockets to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range

# echo 1024 65000 
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_change

12. Set the Process limit
by using ulimit
-u. This
will give you the number of

processes per
user.

ulimit -u 16384

The parameters
in the following table are the minimum values required to run

Oracle9i with a single-database instance on
Linux.

Have you tried to reconnect to the instance? Does the instance
shuts down or your connection?



Try changing the following parameters: 



Oracle9i

Installation Guide

Release 2 (9.2.0.1.0) for
UNIX Systems: AIX-Based Systems, Compaq Tru64 UNIX, HP

9000 Series HP-UX, Linux
Intel, and Sun Solaris



2-20 Installation
Guide



Perform the
following steps to modify the kernel parameters by using the /proc

file system.

1. Log in as the root user.

2. Change to the /proc/sys/kernel
directory.

3. Review the current semaphore
parameter values in the sem file by using the

cat or more
utility.
For example, using the cat utility, enter the following

command:

# cat sem

The output
lists, in order, the values for the SEMMSL, SEMMNS, SEMOPM,

and SEMMNI
parameters. The following example shows how the output

appears:

250 32000 32 128

In the
preceding output example, 250 is the value of the SEMMSL parameter,

32000 is the
value of the SEMMNS parameter, 32 is the value of the SEMOPM

parameter, and
128 is the value of the SEMMNI parameter.

4. Modify the parameter values by
using the following command syntax:

# echo SEMMSL_value SEMMNS_value SEMOPM_value SEMMNI_value  sem

Replace the
parameter variables with the values for your system in the order

that they are
entered in the preceding example. For example:

# echo 100 32000 100 100
 sem

5. Review the current shared
memory parameters by using the cat or more

utility. For
example, using the cat utility, enter the following command:

# cat shared_memory_parameter

In the
preceding example, the variable shared_memory_parameter is either the

SHMMAX or
SHMMNI parameter. The parameter name must be entered in

lowercase
letters.

6. Modify the shared memory
parameter by using the echo utility. For example,

to modify the
SHMMAX parameter, enter the following command:

# echo 2147483648 
shmmax

7. Modify the shared memory
parameter by using the echo utility. For example,

to modify the
SHMMNI parameter, enter the following command:

Setup Tasks to Perform as
root User

# echo 4096  shmmni

8. Modify the shared memory
parameter by using the echo utility. For example,

to modify the
SHMALL parameter, enter the following command:

# echo 2097152  shmall

9. Write a script to initialize
these values during system startup, and include the

script in your
system init files.

10. Set the File Handles by using ulimit
-n and /proc/sys/fs/file-max.

# echo 65536 
/proc/sys/fs/file-max

ulimit -n 65536

11. Set the Sockets to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range

# echo 1024 65000 
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_change

12. Set the Process limit
by using ulimit
-u. This
will give you the number of

processes per
user.

ulimit -u 16384

The parameters
in the following table are the minimum values required to run

Oracle9i with a single-database instance on
Linux.



See Also:
Your
system vendor's documentation for more

information on
script files and init files.

optimizer parameters in Oracle 9.2

2003-07-30 Thread Gurelei
Hi all:

I have been reading on the optimizer_ parameters for 
Oracle 9i - optimizer_max_permutation,
optimizer_index_caching and optimizer_index_cost_adj. 
I have also been playing whith them and I can see that
they affect the explain plans for some queries quite
dramatically. Is there any guidelines for what they
should be set to for optimum performance (some kind of
range and may be relationship between the values) or
is this mostly a trial and error kind of thing? I have
seen a few discussion on the Oracle Metalink, but
mostly they are very specific  - try this value or try
that value. Does anyone have a link to a document with
something more systematic than that? 


thank you 

Gene

RE: Triggers - How expensive when set on heavily loaded tables ?

2003-07-30 Thread Gorbounov,Vadim
Hi Vivek, 

I'll try to share my experience. 
Impact of FOR EACH ROW trigger may be quite essential on heavily loaded
tables, even if a trigger is just an empty body. This is the case when
application uses array (batch in java) DML. Larger arrays (like 100) are
impacted more.  Number of LIO may be few (in one of the recent cases - 3)
times larger. This is due to Oracle cannot optimize array DML IO once
trigger is there. Such applications do not scale well.
Impact is much less noticeable when no batch is employed.

Qs. Operations involving TABLE_1  TABLE_2 if managed using triggers , How
expensive in CPU  performance will it be ?

NOTE - TRAN_TBL undergoes very large volumes of Concurrent OLTP INSERT

Qs 2) If an alert is to be raised on addition of a new record to TABLE_2 :-
a) Can trigger be used ? 
b) Should a cron job running every 5 min. look at TABLE_2  based on the

RE: 8.1.7.4 interim patch management strategy

2003-07-30 Thread Jesse, Rich
Our strategy is to not apply them and migrate to 9iR2 instead.  At least
that's the plan for now, until we find out something won't work with 9i.
It's probably cheaper to do in the long run, and it'll be supported thru
2005, unlike 8.1.7, which expires at the end of this year.

 Hello All,
 
 There are 188 interim patches after 8.1.7.4 patchset. I know that
 8.1.7.4 is the last patchset.
 
 1. What methods/strategy do you'll have for installing patches on a
 8.1.7.4 64 bit hp-ux 11.11 database?
 2. Is there opatch for 8.1.7.4? AFAIK opatch is only for 9i.
 3. Should one install all the applicable patches (around 180 
 individual
 patches)?
 pessimistic (wait for the bug to hit and db to crash)
 optimistic (install applicable patches)
 4. How to manage the interdependencies between these 180 individual
 patches?
 5. Can we create a hp unix patch depot like thing for all 
 these oracle
 patches? 
 
 pls dont advise putting an enhancement request and upgrading to 9i/10i
 :-)
 
 Thanks,

 Subject: optimizer parameters in Oracle 9.2
 
 
 Hi all:
 
 I have been reading on the optimizer_ parameters for 
 Oracle 9i - optimizer_max_permutation,
 optimizer_index_caching and optimizer_index_cost_adj. 
 I have also been playing whith them and I can see that
 they affect the explain plans for some queries quite
 dramatically. Is there any guidelines for what they
 should be set to for optimum performance (some kind of
 range and may be relationship between the values) or
 is this mostly a trial and error kind of thing? I have
 seen a few discussion on the Oracle Metalink, but
 mostly they are very specific  - try this value or try
 that value. Does anyone have a link to a document with
 something more systematic than that? 
 
 
 thank you

That's

Oracle running on a Mainframe and your customer is Austrian, there is 
D8EBCDIC1141, which supports special local characters.

Is it Veritas or is it smoke and mirrors? again

2003-07-30 Thread Michael Kline



There seems to be 
some big confusion if Veritas is
working or 
not...

Based on Previous 
discussions this customer has
the Oracle Veritas 
agent running, and they do
nightly 
backups.

How ever, I find 
absolutely NONE of the RMAN
tables updated so 
they are not using RMAN.
I also find that 
the alert log has no references
what so ever to 
"alter tablespace xyz begin
backup" and the 
"... end backup"... 

While the agent is 
there and working, I sure
see no signs that 
anything is happening as
far as a REAL 
backup.

It's Oracle 9i, but 
even that, I would think
is going to leave 
some "hints" that all the
hooks are working 
and backup is occurring.

Recovery has NEVER 
been tested.

The two are related. If recovery has never been properly tested, you don't know if 
your backups (veritas, rman, ksh/sql scripts) are working. Period. End of story. I've 
encountered enough software/hardware problems to not trust that an 'error free' backup 
will be recoverable.

If the database is not being taken down, or tablespaces are not being put into backup 
mode, or RMAN is not being used, I'd suspect that none of the backups are recoverable.

I'm a hundred percent sure that your German is about a bazillion times

And I'm still trying to figure that beast called English ... and they
don't even have Umlaute ;).

Err, seriously, I'm from the German part that's closer to the Netherlands
(great country, people are less stiff ;)), 
so if I go to Austria, I need a pocket translator. And now, working in
Switzerland doesn't make things better. Nice 
mountains, I only wish I understood what the people say ;).

To get back to the topic: I'm converting data in Switzerland from Mainframe

  While the agent

  It's Oracle 9i,

Re: undo tablespace and rollback segments in oracle9i

If you are now running in manual undo mode and have created rollback segments, you can 
remove the undo segments. Verify that the segments are offline and you are not using 
them. Then drop the undo tablespace. This is the only way to get rid of them.

Re: buffer busy waits and v$filestat

2003-07-30 Thread Rajesh . Rao

Thanks, Mladen, for that helpful  quick reply.

The reason I ask is, one of our clients claims that they see a intermittent
database performance degrade (queries get timed out), during times when the
RMAN backup runs. Using an OS monitoring tool, they see a spike in I/O.

The RMAN backups have 4 channels  writing to disk, and as such, I/O  is to
be expected. I generated statspack reports during the times the backup
runs, and the tablespace I/O summary does show high avg reads/ms. Also, I
see higher than normal total waits in the tablespace I/O summary. This, I
guess, should be the buffer busy wait events, though I dont see it
amongst the top 15 wait events. Also, the data block waits in v$waitstat
spikes during this backup. So, I was wondering if I these wait events are
the real cause of the I/O spike?

Thanks

RE: undo tablespace and rollback segments in oracle9i

2003-07-30 Thread Kirtikumar Deshpande
Your attachment was removed by the list server. 
However, your direct e-mail to me had the following:

SQL show parameter undo ;

NAME TYPEVALUE  
 --- -- 
undo_management  string  MANUAL 
undo_retention   integer 900
undo_suppress_errors boolean FALSE  
undo_tablespace  string  rbs

_SYSSMU6$  RBS

RBS02  RBS  
RBS03  RBS  
RBS04  RBS  
RBS05  RBS  
RBS06  RBS  

17 rows selected.

SQL select a.usn, a.name, b.status
  2  from v$rollname a,
  3   v$rollstat b
  4  where a.usn = b.usn;

   USN NAME   STATUS

13 RBS03  ONLINE
14 RBS04  ONLINE
15 RBS05  ONLINE
16 RBS06  ONLINE

7 rows selected.

--- 

So, it is clear that RBSnn were created in an undo tablespace titled RBS. 

To remove system managed undo segments (_SYSSMUn$) one must drop the undo tablespace 
itself. 

But, in your case, you will first have to:
1. Create a new, normal tablespace, say, rollback_ts, to hold new rollback segments 
(do not create
it using create undo tablespace )
2. Create required rollback segments (rbs07, rbs08 etc) in rollback_ts. 
3. Bring them all online.
4. Offline RBS01 to RBS06 and drop them. 
5. Drop tablespace RBS. 

Modify init.ora parameter as required. 

Hope this helps.

RE: buffer busy waits and v$filestat

2003-07-30 Thread DENNIS WILLIAMS
Raj - You might also consider monitoring the I/O from the system side, until
that you won't have the full picture. That is probably where the RMAN load
would show up, and your instance would be indirectly affected. 4 channels
sounds pretty heavy. Is this tuned for to keep a tape drive busy? We haven't
had any noticed any interference, but since we're backing up to disk, we
just use a single channel.

 Subject: optimizer parameters in Oracle 9.2
 
 
 Hi all:
 
 I have been reading on the optimizer_ parameters
 for 
 Oracle 9i - optimizer_max_permutation,
 optimizer_index_caching and
 optimizer_index_cost_adj.
 I have also been playing whith them and I can see
 that
 they affect the explain plans for some queries
 quite
 dramatically. Is there any guidelines for what
 they
 should be set to for optimum performance (some
 kind of
 range and may be relationship between the values)
 or
 is this mostly a trial and error kind of thing? I
 have
 seen a few discussion on the Oracle Metalink, but
 mostly they are very specific  - try this value or
 try
 that value. Does anyone have a link to a document
 with
 something more systematic than that?
 
 
 thank you 
 
 Gene

RE: 8.1.7.4 interim patch management strategy

2003-07-30 Thread Hallas, John, Tech Dev
Always a difficult activity although the opatch utility available with 9i could prove 
a real benefit

Most sites I have worked on don't have a policy as such but they only apply patches as 
and when necessary.
The other difficulty is that out of say the 180 patches you mention, many may apply to 
a specific executable and therefore over write each other.

The other problem is where many databases share a single OH. Applying a patch to one 
database impacts them all and requires a lot more testing, outage and overall 
management.

The only clean way is to have a new OH for each patch install, this is not very 
practicable 

No easy answer I am afraid but I would only  be applying patches when absolutely 
necessary

Hello All,

There are 188 interim patches after 8.1.7.4 patchset. I know that
8.1.7.4 is the last patchset.

1. What methods/strategy do you'll have for installing patches on a
8.1.7.4 64 bit hp-ux 11.11 database?
2. Is there opatch for 8.1.7.4? AFAIK opatch is only for 9i.
3. Should one install all the applicable patches (around 180 individual
patches)?
pessimistic (wait for the bug to hit and db to crash)
optimistic (install applicable patches)
4. How to manage the interdependencies between these 180 individual
patches?
5. Can we create a hp unix patch depot like thing for all these oracle
patches? 

pls dont advise putting an enhancement request and upgrading to 9i/10i
:-)

Thanks,
Mandar

Linked Server and remote TNSNAMES

2003-07-30 Thread Jay Hostetter
We have a SQL Server database that needs to link to an Oracle database.  I have been 
able to successfully setup this linked server entry in SQL Server, but only when I 
am using a local TNSNAMES.ORA.  We typically have all of our Win2000 machines point to 
a central TNSNAMES.ORA file that is on a file server using ifile (in the local 
tnsnames).  For example:

ifile=//cluster01\apps\oracle\sqlnet\tnsmaster.ora
 this works for SQL*Plus only

Using the above ifile entry in the local TNSNAMES file, I am able to connect to 
databases from this box using SQL*Plus.  However, my SQL Server linked server 
reports a ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name.  If I change my ifile entry 
to use a local tnsnames file, I no longer get this error from SQL Server.  For example:

ifile=c:\oracle\ora920\network\admin\tnsmaster.ora
 this works for SQL*Plus and SQL Server

SQL Plus works for both scenarios.  SQL Server works only for the second scenario.  
What has me stumped is that SQL*Plus works, but SQL Server does not.  I think it might 
be some type of network rights issue, but I have not confirmed it.  Does anybody use 
SQL Server to link to an Oracle database, using a TNSNAMES file that is remote?

Thanks,
Jay

RE: Is it Veritas or is it smoke and mirrors? again

2003-07-30 Thread Michael Kline
Even more scary was that when checking the readme.txt
file, the last version mentioned as being supported
with backup exec agent is 8.1.5... The exec says
it's version 5.0.1, but the Readme says 1.2 for NT.

I was told this morning, Oh yea, I never configured the
agent yet...

This is a potential new customer that we hope to take
on for tuning and DBA work.. They are not sure if they
are doing all the right things...

Trying to find a politically correct way to say, Uh...
NO! You're not.

I'm like those who say I'm from Missouri, show me.
If they can back up, if they can keep it 100%
invisible, they need to prove to me that one can
actually recover. To me these are cold backups
taken on a LIVE database and someone would have
to prove to me differently.

When I was Ops Mgr my operators once stopped doing
backups because it took too long... I put up a
10 foot banner that said NO BACKUP IS EXACTLY
THAT! and said if it ever happened again, I'd
be glad help them find a job.

Except for shear stupidity from induhviduals I've
not lost a table or database in years.

And on those following, I think Oracle is migrating
towards the RMAN interface for Legato and Veritas
as the preferred method... I've just finished
a Legato site with about 10-15 databases and once
you get all the wrinkles ironed out, it works
pretty slick. I've even got the RMAN cleaning
itself out based on what Legato wants to keep
retention wise. If Legato purges it, so do I
from RMAN. It's not bad.

Legato came to put it under the scheduler and
when he saw what all my scripts were doing including
emailing the reports and tracking things, they
kept my scripts and decided that they did
better than using the scheduler. They weren't
all that much magic, but a LOT of help from
Robert's book... THANKS ROBERT!

The two are related. If recovery has never been properly tested, you don't
know if your backups (veritas, rman, ksh/sql scripts) are working. Period.
End of story. I've encountered enough software/hardware problems to not
trust that an 'error free' backup will be recoverable.

If the database is not being taken down, or tablespaces are not being put
into backup mode, or RMAN is not being used, I'd suspect that none of the
backups are recoverable.

of course indexes will not be dropped, but because table data gets truncated, there will be NO data in indexes either.

When you truncate a table using:-

does any of the indexes on the table also get truncated?

Re: On TRUNCATE table does the indexes also get truncated.

2003-07-30 Thread Mladen Gogala
It's elementary my dear Eva: if it didn't get truncated, then the index
entries would be pointing to the non-existant rows. So, the answer to
your question is: yup.

  Hi all:
  
  I have been reading on the optimizer_ parameters
  for 
  Oracle 9i - optimizer_max_permutation,
  optimizer_index_caching and
  optimizer_index_cost_adj.
  I have also been playing whith them and I can
 see
  that
  they affect the explain plans for some queries
  quite
  dramatically. Is there any guidelines for what
  they
  should be set to for optimum performance (some
  kind of
  range and may be relationship between the
 values)
  or
  is this mostly a trial and error kind of thing?
 I
  have
  seen a few discussion on the Oracle Metalink,
 but
  mostly they are very specific  - try this value
 or
  try
  that value. Does anyone have a link to a
 document
  with
  something more systematic than that?
  
  
  thank you

The subject actually says it all. someone on my team

waiting for rdbms ipc reply from checkpoint

2003-07-30 Thread Henry Poras
I'm writing on behalf of the other DBA here. He is trying to drop all
objects in a schema. First he truncated all tables, and now is running a
script to drop all tables. It is running very slowly. We turned on a 10046
trace, and by far (almost 100%) the largest wait is 'rdbms ipc reply'. Some
of the waits had elapsed times in seconds. When I looked at the p1 value
(pid) and queried v$process, it turned out that this session was waiting for
a reply from CHECKPOINT.

Why is a user process communicating with ckpt? The actual number of
checkpoints in the system are minimal (right now the instance has been up
for ~40minutes [he just bounced it to try some stuff], and the number of
background checkpoints completed is 1, the number of DBWR checkpoints is 4).

I did find something by Jonathan Lewis on extent-based checkpointing
(www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/extent.html). The db flushes all blocks related to
the object from the buffer cache prior to dropping the table. He said this
changed in Oracle8 (we are running 8.1.7.4). Also, changing the tablespace
to READ ONLY should prevent flushing of the buffer cache. The other DBA here
said he tried this to no avail.

Any clues?

Henry

** scope for package variables

2003-07-30 Thread A Joshi

Hi,
 I have a variable in a package and I am using it as a flag in another procedure and trigger. Depending on the flag some action will be done or skipped. Is it correct to assume that each user process (could be around 20 at a time) will have it's own value of the variable starting with the initialized value??? Or will one session affect the value of other sessions. What is the best way to initialize? Else what is a way to have a process wide flag which can be used to determine if certain actions can take place. I really have no other criteria to distinguish. Thank You all...

Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2003 12:50 PM
To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L


I'm writing on behalf of the other DBA here. He is trying to drop all
objects in a schema. First he truncated all tables, and now is running a
script to drop all tables. It is running very slowly. We turned on a 10046
trace, and by far (almost 100%) the largest wait is 'rdbms ipc reply'. Some
of the waits had elapsed times in seconds. When I looked at the p1 value
(pid) and queried v$process, it turned out that this session was waiting for
a reply from CHECKPOINT.

Why is a user process communicating with ckpt? The actual number of
checkpoints in the system are minimal (right now the instance has been up
for ~40minutes [he just bounced it to try some stuff], and the number of
background checkpoints completed is 1, the number of DBWR checkpoints is 4).

I did find something by Jonathan Lewis on extent-based checkpointing
(www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/extent.html). The db flushes all blocks related to
the object from the buffer cache prior to dropping the table. He said this
changed in Oracle8 (we are running 8.1.7.4). Also, changing the tablespace
to READ ONLY should prevent flushing of the buffer cache. The other DBA here
said he tried this to no avail.

Any clues?

Re: 9i-OCP Question

2003-07-30 Thread Mladen Gogala
There are two reasons:
1) Redo log groups are never used simultaneously, so they can reside on
   the same disk. Log members should not be on the same disks for increased
   survivability. That gives us 2 groups with 4 members, each two members
   sharing the same device - 4 disks alltogether.
2) It's because I say so and I'm an 8i OCP.

Trigger fires when WHEN clause evals to false?

2003-07-30 Thread Jesse, Rich
Since I'm getting nowhere fast with Oracle Support, I'll try this here:

While looking in V$DB_OBJECT_CACHE, we noticed an unpinned row-level trigger
had been fired over 900K times. We compared this to other row-level triggers
on the same table and noticed that the other triggers were only executed
around
1000 or 2000 times. From knowledge of the business, it would seem that the
latter is much more believable. The major difference between this trigger
and
the others is that the others all have a column declared in the FOR UPDATE
clause of the trigger. For example, here's the header of the trigger in
question:

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER QT_BLAH_BLAH_IU
AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE ON my_table
FOR EACH ROW
WHEN (NEW.commodity_code != OLD.commodity_code OR OLD.commodity_code IS
NULL)

...while the other triggers would also contain an OF my_column clause
immediately following AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE.

The table contains about 200K rows. Having this trigger fire 900K times is
highly unlikely, given the WHEN clause.  According to Oracle8i Application
Developer's Guide - Fundamentals, about the WHEN clause of a row-level
trigger:

If the expression evaluates to TRUE for a row, then the trigger body is
fired
on behalf of that row. However, if the expression evaluates to FALSE or NOT
TRUE for a row (unknown, as with nulls), then the trigger body is not fired
for
that row.

The same manual also says:

If a triggering statement specifies UPDATE, then an optional list of
columns
can be included in the triggering statement. If you include a column list,
then
the trigger is fired on an UPDATE statement only when one of the specified
columns is updated. If you omit a column list, then the trigger is fired
when
any column of the associated table is updated.

This leaves me a little confused as to what exactly fires when with a
trigger. 
I know that bug 1764313 says the execution count is inaccurate, but if
anything
that bug would suggest that the 900K rows is LOW and not HIGH like we've
seen.
I guess my real question is what part of a trigger is loaded when. Is there
a
difference between the trigger and the trigger body when it comes to
executions?  How is this difference shown the V$DB_OBJECT_CACHE or V$SQLAREA
for that matter?  Is the distinction similar to PACKAGE vs. PACKAGE BODY?

BTW, if it matters, we're currently on 32-bit 8.1.7.4.0 on 64-bit HP/UX
11.0.

Rich

Thanks Jay and Gogala for your help : Well these are old big tables and any re-design will be a bigger impact.

. YEs i agreed the trigger will fire no matter what. What I am looking for is a check in the beginning of the trigger and then skip the rest of the trigger. Thank You

2003-07-30 Thread Pardee, Roy E
I thought you need to preserve the groups, not (necessarily) the members.

If you have each group on its own disk then if one disk goes, you've got a complete 
set of logs on the other.  Or am I not thinking about this correctly?
