RE: replace ' with '' ???
Janet,
Sorry, I'm just going through the list. I've run into the same problem.
Have you got any answers? I got it resolved by using the following code
that I found but I don't remember where/who I found it from. Something like
this:
String FChar =
request.getParameter("p_location_name").toUpperCase().trim();
StringBuffer lsNewStr = new StringBuffer();
int liFound = 0;
int liLastPointer=0;
do {
liFound = FChar.indexOf('\'', liLastPointer);
if ( liFound < 0 )
lsNewStr.append(FChar.substring(liLastPointer,
FChar.length()));
else {
if (liFound > liLastPointer)
lsNewStr.append(FChar.substring(liLastPointer,liFound));
lsNewStr.append('\'');
lsNewStr.append('\'');
liLastPointer = liFound + 1;
}
}while (liFound > -1);
FChar = lsNewStr.toString();
Perhap you have received better answers than this that you could share with
me.

Hi,
I apologize it might be a wrong place to post the
question, but since it's the only list I know ...
You know when you insert a'b into db, you got to
change it to a''b, our value is from jsp, so I have
this
request.getParameter("p_location_name").toUpperCase().trim(),
in case there is ' in it, I need to replace it with
''. How to do this in jsp, I tried
string.replace('\'','\'\''), replace("'","''"),
replace("\'","\'\'"), all sorts stuff and doesn't
work. We are using jdk 1.3.1. Any suggestion??
Thank you!

Consolidating Servers
Just got out of a meeting with my manager. He had just finished meeting with our Oracle rep and has finally figured out that we don't have enough licenses (I've always asked him what we have and he's never shared it with me, always just "I've gotten it taken care of"). We have 80 and with our current/potential configuration we are going to need 300. Anyways, to save money he decides that we need to take our databases and consolidate them to two or three servers (from 7). Most of the database are fairly small (100-300Meg) so shouldn't be too bad. Actually it should be pretty fun (if I didn't already have 5 full-time jobs to do). Anyone had to do the same thing? What are some concerns? Should I shoot for the moon and upgrade them all to 9i at the same time or have several versions (7.3, 8.0, 8.1.7) on the same server? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Relatively quick meetings (that can be done standing up; no meeting rooms required) that are usually finished in about 20 minutes. In the stand-ups, we get heads-up for things and specifications that might be coming down the pipeline from the product management and design side. We get a quick update on the state of deployment (what version has rolled into production, what version is in the QA pipeline) and what the next impending set of changes are about to get pushed onto the dev servers. If there's any potential "gotcha"s that have been experienced (especially on the coding front) they get publicized in the stand-ups as well. The main point of our stand-ups are to make sure that all the developers are relatively aware of the scheduling and direction of the product, and to highlight any programming difficulties and workarounds that might arise so that when different developers hit those gotchas, they'll already know that a solution might already. These stand-up meetings are basically within a development team/group. Project leads have their own meetings with the product management group. So essentially, the product manager has his own meetings; then the product manager has meetings with the dev project leads to convey what they want in the next iteration of the product; the project leads then present these to the dev group in a stand-up meeting. -Original Message- <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 12:30 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L List, Just wondering if your organization has tech meetings, and what is discussed and what the goals of the meetings are?

RE: Why didn't datafile autoextend?
duh. I feel so stupid! It seems that I used OEM to set the MAXSIZE for the datafile and set it to 1900 K Bytes instead of the intended 1900 M Btyes. Thanks!!! -Original Message- Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 11:16 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Looks like the size of your datafile is already higher than your MAXBYTES. In additional to setting AUTOEXTEND ON, you should also give it a sufficient MAXSIZE for the datafile. Oracle will autoextend the datafile only up to the max size specified for the datafile. In your case, the max size for your datafile is a little less than 2 megs, which means that once your datafile is at 2 megs, Oracle will never AUTOextend it beyond the 2 meg size, although it can be extended beyond 2 meg by hand, as you have done. ...Rudy -Original Message- Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 12:50 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L This morning I started getting "ORA-1654: unable to extend index CIMXDBIN.CIMX_SESSION_STATE_PK by 128 in tablespace CAPP_IDX " in my alert log (8.1.7 on Windows 2000).

RE: Dealing with 3rd Party Applications
ww.EvDBT.com/tools.htm. You can use that trigger to initiate SQL Tracing immediately upon connection by the user. Are you familiar with SQL Trace and TKPROF? Hopefully, the parameter TIMED_STATISTICS is set to TRUE in this database; if it isn't, you can enable it in the TRACETRG trigger for the session (i.e. "execute immediate 'alter session set timed_statistics = true';") or using ALTER SYSTEM to set it to TRUE for the instance. If you can set TIMED_STATISTICS to TRUE, then please use the "sort=prsela,exeela,fchela" clause with the TKPROF command; if it is FALSE, then please use "sort=exeqry,execu,fchqry,fchcu" clause. This way, the worst SQL statements will percolate to the top of the TKPROF report... If you can get a TKPROF report, would you like to paste the relevant section for the offending SQL statement back to the list? That way, you'll get lots of ideas from the best tuning folks in the world. And don't forget to DISABLE or DROP that trigger when you've gotten your trace! Coming from personal experience, it is *VERY* embarrassing to have to explain why the file-system housing the USER_DUMP_DEST keeps filling up... :-( > Also how do you usually deal with 3rd party application issues like this? > 95% of our databases/applications are from 3rd party vendors and it's a pain > trying to get them performing better. We never have "control" over the application and it is always a pain. However, don't neglect the possibility that the application is somehow misconfigured or configured inappropriately somehow. It's not easy to ask questions about this without triggering the knee-jerk "No! Everything's fine!" response, but is it reasonable that an application session would need to perform those several-thousand queries at each login? Is it a two-tier (a.k.a. "client-server") application where every user session spawns a corresponding database session, or is it an N-tier application where the app-server is creating a "pool" of database connections. A huge up-front load like you describe is more characteristic of the N-tier app-server, and less characteristic of "client-server" connections. Just some food for thought... > Thanks, > Jeff Eberhard Good luck! -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Tim Gorman INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California-- Mailing list and web hosting services - To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

Dealing with 3rd Party Applications
Hi, So my boss comes over this morning and tells me that the users are having a performance problem with a 3rd party application that have recently began using. This is an oracle database where they bought the software and had the system admin install the software which included the vendors instruction of creating and setting up the database (basically use the defaults). It is an Oracle 8.1.7 database on Windows 2000. He wants me to find out "if you can create some indexes or something", etc. (he likes to give solutions before the cause if discovered). Anyway, I decide to take a look at it. The performance they are complaining about is when they log into the application it takes about a minute for their initial screen (which includes a list of values) to appear. I use the tool that someone posted here a while ago, SQL Monitor from www.fastalgo.com, and find that during the time the user is waiting for the first screen the application is executing a sql statement about 2200 times. The SQL is: SELECT PARENTID FROM PROC_ WHERE PROCEDUREID=:1 The bind variable is different for each execution with appears to be the procedureid values from the table proc_. Table proc_ has 2203 rows. I check the executions for the sql text in v$sqlarea. Executions = 58,825. (aha, I think this is the problem). I explain plan the query and find that it is using the primary key index. My tuning skills are still pretty basic. Since I have no control over the application is there anything I can do to increase the performance of running the query thousands of times? Also how do you usually deal with 3rd party application issues like this? 95% of our databases/applications are from 3rd party vendors and it's a pain trying to get them performing better.

All,
I need to know if there is a way to insert a character value of 'null' as a
default for a column:
example: student_name varchar2(10) default 'null'
I have tried this and it works if I update the column values to the string
'null' later:
example: update student set student_name = 'null' where student_name is
null
I know that null is a reserved word but I though that I saw it used
somewhere like this before and just thought I would check with the group on
this. thanks.
