How to number the retrieved rows

2001-05-29 Thread Helmut Daiminger

Hi!

Is there a way to show a number in front of every row retrieved through a
select statement...?

select column1, column2 from tablename

The output should look like:

1column1_value   column2_value

Any idea how I can achieve that?

This is 8.1.6 on Win2k.

Thanks,
Helmut

Hi!

I'm concatenating two LONG columns (2800 characters each). I get an

ORA-01489 result of string concatenation is too long
Cause: String concatenation result is more than the maximum size.
Action: Make sure that the result is less than the maximum size.

Although the variables used are set as LONG, it seems that still the 4000

Any iedas anybody?

What columns are in the Primary Key

2001-05-10 Thread Helmut Daiminger

Hi!

Is there a data dictionary view that gives me all the columns in a primary
key of a table?

I can query user_constraints to find out about all constraints on a table:

select * from user_constraints where table_name='TBACCOUNTS'


OWNER  CONSTRAINT_NAME C TABLE_NAME   SEARCH_CONDITION
-- --- -  -
VIVOUSER   SYS_C003011 C TBACCOUNTS   COMPANYID IS NOT NULL
VIVOUSER   SYS_C003012 C TBACCOUNTS   STORELOCID IS NOT NULL
VIVOUSER   SYS_C003013 C TBACCOUNTS   ACCOUNTID IS NOT NULL
VIVOUSER   PK_ACCOUNTS P TBACCOUNTS

How can I get what columns are in the primary key PK_ACCOUNTS ? I have
more NOT NULL columns in the table than in the PK.

Any idea?

Order of columns in a table

2001-05-10 Thread Helmut Daiminger

Hi!

How can I find out what the order of columns in a table is?

If I do a select * from tablename, the columns appear in a specific order.
The same order than they appear when I do a describe tablename.

I can even do an insert without specifying the columns in my VALUES
(.,) when they are in that specific order.

How and where can I find the order of the columns within a table?

Any ideas?

Multi-Master Replication

2001-04-26 Thread Helmut Daiminger

Hi!

I am currently working on a system architecture. We are thinking about using
multi-master replication. I am pretty new to that area...

Initially we will have three master databases replicating to each other.

If we want to scale the system, can we easily integrate a fourth master
database in to replication architecture?

Is this doable?

Weird things.

Oracle Service does not start

2001-04-17 Thread Helmut Daiminger

Hi!

I'm having a problem with Oracle on Win2k here. I can't start Oracle by
using the Management Console (i.e. start the windows Service). The Service
remains in the status "starting" but never goes to "started". Then I can't
even stop the service again. Not with the tool neither with the command
line.

I can start the database using SVRMGRL / SQLPLUS, but the Windows Service
still doesn't start. Seems weird to me.

Any ideas?

This is 8.1.6.3.0 on Win2k

Question abount Unique Keys

2001-04-10 Thread Helmut Daiminger

Hi!

I have a question about unique keys:

When I issue the statement
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX UK_TBDOCUMENT ON TBDOCUMENT(DOCUMENTID)
Oracle creates a unique index (as in user_indexes) but no unique constraint
(as in user_constraints)

When I issue that statement in a create table statement
create table
CONSTRAINT UK_TBDOCUMENT
UNIQUE (DOCUMENTID)
Oracle creates a unique constraint plus an index.

Why is Oracle doing this? Could somebody please shed some light on this?

This is 8.1.6 on Win2k.

Helmut

inserting into DATE colum

2001-04-09 Thread Helmut Daiminger

Hi!

I have a question concerning inserting data in a DATE column. The deal is
that sometimes, I just wanna insert DD/MM/ and in other cases I wanna
insert DD/MM/ HH:MI:SS in the same column.

How can I handle that?

insert into TbTABLE values (To_Date('03/09/2001'), To_Date('03/09/2001'),
To_Date('03/09/2001'), To_Date('03/09/2001'),
To_Date('03/09/2001 11:11:11'))


Do I need to supply formatting information for the date to the insert
statement?

Sorry to ask this question again, but I can't find the old thread that

Unable to extend TEMP tablespace

2001-04-09 Thread Helmut Daiminger

Hi there!

I'm experiencing strange errors on our production database in the middle of
the night. From the alert log file:

Mon Apr 09 03:41:33 2001
ORA-1652: unable to extend temp segment by 64 in tablespace TEMP

The deal is that nobody is accessing our system at 3:40 am! No jobs are
scheduled for that time. Basically there shouldn't anything go on on the
server.

Is there a way that I can find out what causes this error? What user /
statement is generating so much temporary data?

Is there a way to coalesce the TEMP tablespace so that orphan temp segments
get deleted and the usage of the TEMP tablespace isn't always up to 99%?

This is 8.1.6 on Win2k.

Thanks,
Helmut

RE: killing a thread

2001-04-05 Thread Helmut Daiminger

Hi!

ORAKILL is only available on Windows NT/2000. Because Oracle uses a thread
based architecture on Windows and all threads run within the same
"oracle.exe".

On UNIX, Oracle is process based and you can kill the corresponding process.

Is there a tool available that allows me to read data from a comma-delimited
flat file into Oracle and if a row already exists, updates that record. If
the row does not exist, it should insert a new record into the table.

Looks to me like SQL*Loader can't do this.

How could this be done?

This is 8.1.6 on Win2k.


Thanks,
Helmut

Import comma-delimited text file into Oracle

2001-03-27 Thread Helmut Daiminger

Hi!

Is SQL*Loader the only way to move the contents of a comma-delimited ASCII
file into Oracle? UTL_FILE would be another option, right?

Or are there any other ways to do this?

This is 8.1.6 on Win2k.

Thanks,
Helmut

Anybody using Network Applicance Storage boxes with Oracle?

2001-03-20 Thread Helmut Daiminger

Hi there!

Is anybody out there running Oracle on NetApp Storage Networking box?

I was told by some NetApp guys that using their boxes we don't have to worry
about distributing datafiles, RBS etc. across the disks because the NetApp
OS takes care of all that.

Any comments?

Thanks,
Helmut

Using OLE DB connection

2001-02-20 Thread Helmut Daiminger

 Hi there!
 
 I have a question concerning the usage of the Oracle OLE DB 
 provider on
 Win2k.
 
 We have a web server (running on Win2k) with a bunch of COM+ 
 objects on it
 that are connecting to an Oracle database. The connection is 
 made through
 the Oracle OLE DB provider 8.1.6.2.0.
 
 Does anybody have an idea what the performance overhead is 
 when using OLE DB
 instead of using native Net8? Is it significant?
 
 This is 8.1.6 on Win2k.
 
 Thanks,
 Helmut

Send Email on NT/2000

2001-02-19 Thread Helmut Daiminger

Hi!

For all guys running Oracle on NT/2000: I found this nice little tool that
you can e.g. use to have the alert log file mailed to you. I also run a
tablespace usage script that writes the results to a txt file. Then I use
automailer to mail me that file.

Check it out:

http://www.duodata.de/automailer/

AutoMailer automatically transfers files as email-attachments.
The files you wish to be mailed must be stored in a single directory on your
hard drive.
AutoMailer periodically polls this directory for changes and if a new or
modified file
is found, it is mailed.

hth,
Helmut

Insert data into LOB column

2001-02-07 Thread Helmut Daiminger

 Hi!
 
 I am new to working with LOBs. I want to insert data (through 
 SQL or PL/SQL)
 into a table that looks like this:
 
 column1   varchar2(100)
 column2   BLOB
 column3   number
 
 How can I insert data into that table directly?
 
 insert into table (column1, colum2, column3) values ('sample 
 text', ?, 12345);
 
 The BLOB can be a TXT-file or GIF-picture or bmp-picture. The file is
 locally stored on the hard drive.
 
 This is 8.1.6 on Win2k.
 
 Any ideas?
 
 Thanks,
 Helmut
