Re: Solved... Was: Boolean dates...
I hope the name of the column in the table - BDATE - doesn't stand for BOOLEAN DATE - otherwise you'll have to rename it too, to JDATE! ;-) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 24/10/2003 1:29:41 List... I finally found the answer about the infamous 'boolean dates'! (this was the term that my boss used when he told me about the dates... boolean dates).

setproperties on new ORDDOC gives ORA-6512?
Hello, I am attempting to convert the CLOBs in an existing table into ORDDOCs in a new table. I _seemed_ to be almost there. I allocated a new ORDDOC using INIT(), and used writeToSource() on the doc pointer to transfer the text (which I first converted to RAW). The application that accepts this now lists the new document, and displays the text contents. I now need to set the size (and MIME type, even though the app seems to understand that it's a text document). I called setproperties after writeToSource, and get a set of ORA-6510/ORA-6512 errors. (Included below) I'd really appreciate any advice! Thanx and regards, Arn.

Re: Passing in NULL via SQL ACCEPT
This is because SQLPlus does the substitution before executing the block, and thus the entered value is inserted into the code as a literal, not as a bind variable. eg, accept x prompt 'Enter x:' begin if x = 2 then do_something; end if; end; If the user enters 100, then the block becomes: begin if 100 = 2 then do_something; end if; end; However, if the user doesn't enter anything, x is replaced with nothing, leaving the block as: begin if = 2 then do_something; end if; end; which produces an execution error. One way around this is to ensure there's always a correct argument in that position, eg: begin if 'x' = '2' then do_something; end if; end; For null entry, this would give: begin if '' = '2' then do_something; end if; end; which works. HTH -a [EMAIL PROTECTED] 14/3/2002 1:43:24 This message has been scanned by MAILSweeper. I'm writing an anonymous PL/SQL block that accepts various input from SQL*Plus via ACCEPT commands. I then take the SQL input and use it in the block, usually by assigning it to a PL/SQL variable. If no value is specified on the ACCEPT line, it appears that nothing is passed into PL/SQL, not even NULL. I tried using NVL(variable,0) to reassign the supposed NULL to a 0, but the program returns an error that nothing exists in place of variable.

Costs in explain plan
Hi, Can you compare the costs that are displayed in explain plan output? For example, I have a query that contains a merge join. The cost reported in the explain plan is 134. By including a hint to use a nested loop instead, the cost becomes 1160. Does this mean the merge join plan is more efficient, despite generally being considered a less efficient join method than a NL?

Re: Out put in a single line
Not knowing exactly how the SQL Looks in v$logmnr_contents, I hazard a guess that because the sql_redo column is VARCHAR2(4000), it contains the entire SQL statement? (ie, the SQL statement is not split over multiple rows in the table as it is in, say, USER_SOURCE? If that's the case, then I'd guess that your problem is that the line length in SQL*Plus is too short. If you issue a set linesize 4000 and rerun your query to spool the statements out, each statement should be on a single line. hth -arn [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/12/2001 13:50:19 This message has been scanned by MAILSweeper.

RE: Problem importing objects to different tablespace
George, I've just tried the process as you've listed below (including dropping the exported table before importing again) and it worked fine without needing to precreate the table in the new tablespace. This is on Oracle 8.1.7. I noticed that the DDL in the export file included the old tablespace, but it was still created in the new tablespace OK. My first attempt failed, because I forgot to change the user's default tablespace to the new one before importing, but once that was done, it was successful. FYI. -arn [EMAIL PROTECTED] 28/11/2001 10:32:33 This message has been scanned by MAILSweeper. Funny because Oracle has explicitly stated that you can actually import a user's objects to it's new default tablespace as long as you make sure that the user doesn't have any quota or privs on the old tablespace. George -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 1:00 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L The default tablespace is only used whenever there is no tablesapce parameter in the crate and alter table/index statements. Since the export always have tablespace parameter with the create table/index statement, your import method definitely will fail. You can change the tablespace for the segment by creating the segment in the desired tablesapce first, then import.

I was trying to import to another tablespace, same user. I hadn't had a need to do this in a while but thought this shouldn't be too difficult. So I did what the manuals said: ran a user export set user's quota on old tablespace to 0 granted unlimited quota to user on new tablespace revoke resource, unlimited tablespace privs from user make new tablespace default for user Then when I ran the import with ignore=y I got the error space quota exceeded for tablespace old tablespace for all create table commands.

Re: [Q] what difference between count(0), count(1) and
As I understand it, count(*) counts all rows. Anything other than * is treated as an expression and it returns the number of rows where that expression evaluates to not null. So what Deepak said below about count(col1) giving the count of non-null instances of col1 is correct. That also means that count(0), count(1), etc should behave the same as count(*), as 0, 1, etc are not null. Now, is count(*) less efficient in execution than count(1)?

RE: Rash of shared memory errors
Thanx, everyone, for replying so quickly! We're on 8.1.7.1 (sorry for omitting that in my OP). I'll look for the patch straight after this. Rahul and Connor, when you say the cause may be that the application is not using bind variables, do you mean that the application is using dynamic SQL, and thus almost every call to the DB during application execution is different, thus limiting query reuse? If that's the case, then this is not the cause in our app, as we don't use dynamic SQL at all. However, if you mean another way of not using bind variables, but in static queries, then could you please explain how this could be done, so I can check our app?

Controlling transactions when JDBC connection closed?
We're reusing a set of Java classes from an old application in a new application. The old application used a PC database; the new one is using Oracle. It appears that the PC database implicitly rolled back transactions if a connection to the database was closed. However, with Oracle, is appears that when we close a JDBC connection, the current transaction is implicitly committed. I understand that these classes *should* be explicitly controlling their transactions, and committing or rolling back before closing the connection to the database, and we will have to fix these classes to do so. However, I would also like to know if it's possible to change this behaviour of Oracle of implicitly committing upon close. Is there a JDBC configuration file or something like that? This is Oracle 8.1.7, in a JRUN environment, if that's any help. (As you can tell, this Java stuff is not my forte...)

RE: Recovery from noarchive db corrected
The actual archiving of log files itself should not impact the performance of the insert jobs, unless the archiving process is slow enough to cause the database to pause while a log is archived so it can be reused. The only other reason why the developers wouldn't want it is if the space required to store the archived logs impinges on their development space; in that case, you'd have a case for getting more storage.

Qualifying columns to improve performance?

Does this apply to statements in PL/SQL procedures/packages?

Re: sql query
It's because Oracle dates are stored as a real number, where the integer portion represents the date and the decimal portion represents the time. This means you can do date arithmetic simply by adding or subtracting numbers to a date, where 1.0 = one day, 2.0 = two days, etc. This means that, as far as fractions of a day are concerned, 0.5 = half a day = 12 hours, 1/24 = one hour, 1/(24 * 60) = 1 minute and 1/(24 * 3600) = 1 second. In your example, 5/(24*3600) = 5 seconds that are being subtracted from the current date/time. (This representation is really handy - to convert a date/time to just a date (no time portion), you just have to TRUNC() the date.) -a [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3/4/2001 14:00:20 This message has been scanned by MAILSweeper.I found a query to get the time 5 seconds less than the current time asselect to_char(sysdate-5/(24*3600),'dd-mon- hh24:mi:ss') from dual;I am really not sure as to why 24*3600 is used for.Can anyone tell me why it is used.ThanksRavindra-- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com-- Author: Ravindra Basavaraja INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing ListsTo REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail messageto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and inthe message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L(or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
