Re: MS SQL hasn't given up!
Hi I saw this list posted on an Oracle Newsgroup a while back :-) Oracle has multiversioning. SQL Server has no equivalent In Oracle reads don't block writes and writes don't block reads In Oracle there are unlimited row level locks In Oracle there is no such thing as lock escallation or page level locking In Oracle there is no need to use temp tables to accumulate intermediate level results In Oracle phyiscal transactions can be as large as logical transactions. No need to fragment them Oracle runs on platforms other than Windows Oracle has many trigger types not available in SQL Server Oracle lines the pockets of Larry Ellison rather than Bill Gates. Which means that someone is having fun with your money rather than just hoarding it.

I have ordered the Linux version of 11.5.7 and can confirm that no keys are asked for during the installation. The CD pack contains an option to install a sample database called VISION which is a fully populated trial database The VISION database does contain Financials (among many other things). Everything in there seems to work correctly although my tests have not been to extensive as yet. The install can be tricky, You should really use a supported OS and version. Judging by various posts on the Net, the NT version seems to have an especially evil reputation.

[... stuff snipped] One word of warning about using symlinks to point to datafiles is that you have to make sure your datafiles get backed up. Since you are using raw disk this probably isn't an issue and have arranged appropriate backups. However, I have seen it done where a DBA wanted to move a datafile and rather than doing it properly just shutdown the DB and moved the datafile and then put a symlink to the new location in the original spot. The database will start and operate just fine -but- most backup sofware will go trolling down DBA_DATA_FILES and backup up only the symlink (its really a tiny little file on UNIX) rather than the database itself. In other words the backup software doesn't follow the link. At restore time you find you've simply restored the link and the target file has never been backed up.

Hi Stephen > The program is functional but not necessarily > elegant. Of course, no guarantees about anything are made. If you make any > improvements, I would be most appreciative if you sent them. If you need this sort of thing you might consider having a look at the freeware DBATool. It is designed to do exactly what your program does - but it has GUI interface and a lot finer control over the manipulation of the DDL. You can independently change or remove every component of a tables storage clause independently and can even use wild cards. For example: all tables get 1M extents except for tables like XYZ% which get 100K extents except for tables XYZ1 and XYZ2 which get 10K extents. You can also put OR REPLACES automatically on packages procs etc, reset sequences to known starting values, and change the target of DB links. Its all driven by rules - so once you set it up you can save and reload the rules anytime you need them.

I may be mistaken but I must admit that has not been my experience. Are you thinking of occasions when you use a remote table (accessible via a DBLink) in a local join? In such cases the optimizer might set up the plan to get the remote rows individually rather than doing unproductive remote full or range scans. One would anticipate that a query like INSERT into (select * from remotetable@link) would pull things over in a stream. OCI certainly streams query results like that - I'm not saying that DBLinks are based on OCI - just that there is precedent for this in at least one Oracle networking layer.

If so, as a suggestion, why don't you try using the DDL to HTML documentation generator in the freeware DBATool. You could easily cut a browsable tree with all (or part) of a schemas DDL. It also does nice things like cross reference related entities - for example for a table you can click on links to the associated indexes, foreign keys, grants, synonyms etc. Password protection and security can easily be implemented by moving the HTML tree onto a password protected drive.

Re: DB copying : Attack of the Clones!
Hi Kirti Do you absolutely need full size copies? If small referentially correct subsets were suitable you could use our DataBee software to "re-create and re-load" the test databases as necessary. In other words, you would not need to back up and restore full size databases. You simply press the button and regenerate the subsets when required. Depending on the size of the subset, the refresh would not take more than an hour or two. The load process is quite straight forward - many of our customers just create the initial subset databases and then off load the "truncate and reload" work to the developers and testers themselves. The DBA's are removed from the loop and because the databases are small the create process is very quick - the developers and testers can refresh their databases whenever they want. Actually, DataBee would clone the full size databases just fine - its just not really designed for that purpose in mind. DataBee: http://www.DataBee.com In any event, you should have a look at our freeware DBATool. It contains (among other things) a rule based schema adjuster that should take care of your requirements to modify the DDL in the test schemas http://www.DataBee.com Thanks Dale Edgar Net 2000 Ltd.

Re: Data Subset Tool?
Hi Jared > I've seen some pretty ugly schemas in Oracle, from third > party apps in particular. > > It would be most interesting if an automated tool could > subset these. They do get ugly don't they - however, I would be very suprised if DataBee was not able to cut a subset. DataBee is quite simple in concept - at its most fundamental level it processes a list of rules which tell it which tables need which supporting rows from other tables. The schema complexity is largely an irrelevant issue - DataBee takes things one rule at a time and says "I have this row in this table therefore I need these rows from this table based on this join condition). It is very fast and implicitly eliminates duplicates. It is also interesting to note that table size is also not super important. Sure the extract is slower on large databases, but the extract time scales upwards with the size in a very well behaved manner. Give it a try if you want. There is a fully functional evaluation version (with sample schema) available for download on the DataBee website. http://www.DataBee.com Thanks Dale Edgar Net 2000 Ltd.

Re: Data Subset Tool?
Hi Jared Disclaimer: I work for Net 2000 Ltd. the authors of DataBee - a database subsetting tool. > Disk is cheaper. :) It only seems so because manually creating subsets is such a nightmare - but if you have large databases it just isn't practical to give every developer, tester and trainer a full size copy of production. So what do you do? Well if your like most DBA's you create far fewer copies of the big database than is really needed and everybody has to share it. Then the trouble starts: the developers the collide with one another, the testers trash each others data and everybody squabbles because they have to wait for a time slot. Truth be known - developers, testers and trainers don't like to work on full size copys (it slows them down) and they don't like to share. As you say, manual subsets are not cost effective because of the DBA effort involved in making them. If you have an automated tool that just snips out subsets like a cookie cutter then you can have as many as you care to. Cheers Dale Edgar Net 2000 Ltd.

I am aware of DataBee... I don't mind telling you who the competition is - we are confident that we are better value both in price and functionality:-) Two other subsetting tools on the market are DataManager from Quest http://quest.com/schema_manager/ and CheckMate from BitByBit http://www.bitbybit.co.uk >, but it might be more cost effective to buy > something if the price is right. The main feature I would be interested in > is a tool that maintained the distribution characteristics of the data. DataBee is designed specifically to cope with this requirement. You can set up the rules (called an Extraction Set) based on multiple drivers. You could, for example, sample 10% of a table (even on ora7.x) and then put on other rules which pick up specific date ranges. You can also use multiple tables: ie get 5% of all invoices from the INVOICE table and 25 specific customers from the CUSTOMER table. DataBee would cheerfully get all of the customers to support the invoices and all of the invoices to support the customers. Basically the rows are adjusted until every table has the data required required to support all of the rest and the subset is in balance. > I know it can be built by hand They can but it is (as I'm sure you know) a lot of hassle - and it can be a nightmare to get the FK constraints to re-enable if you have a lot of them. An automated tool really is cost-effective. One of our customers used to take a week and 45 skilled DBA hours to cut a subset database - even then only about 200 of the 500 constraints would enable. DataBee cuts the subset in 4 hours (its a push button operation once the Extraction Set is setup) and all 500 constraints enable. DataBee: http://www.databee.com Cheers Dale Edgar Net 2000 Ltd.

Re: USER DUMP HOW?
Hi Diego > Or you can write your own scripts, I have found this one between my scripts, > I have never tested, I prefer to use Import/Export for that kind of job. The easy way to do this is to get the Freeware DBATool. It will read an export file (created ROWS=N) and present you with the DDL contents in a nicely formatted and intuitive manner. It does lots of other things as well - you can generate recreate scripts for all or part of a schema. (for example: a script that recreates a role and every grant it has). The DBATool can strip of storage clause information from every DDL bit code with a single button press or dump the entire schema out to an HTML tree and just browse through the DDL as it suits you.

If the schema is of any complexity this can be quite difficult. If you do it manually you should prepare yourself for a trip through PL/SQL hell. Not only do you have to get the data from every table required to support the rows in the others - but you also have to sift out duplicates.
