Restoring DB from specific RMAN backup set.

2002-12-19 Thread Paul Heely
How can I restore a database from a specific RMAN backup set?  We have a
database running in no archive log mode that is backed up with RMAN.
There is an RMAN catalog DB also.

RE: Restoring DB from specific RMAN backup set.

2002-12-19 Thread Paul Heely
Database is 9.0.1.4 running on Win2K.

The database called DB2 is not running in archivelog mode.

The database is being backed up using RMAN:  I.e.
set ORACLE_SID=DB2
rman target / catalog rman@otherdb
shutdown immediate;
startup mount;
backup database format=f:\oracle_backup\%d\%d_%U tag full_backup;
alter database open;


I figured out what the problem was.  After I restored the controlfile
from the autobackup file I was not mounting the database before doing a
database restore.

Who chose 'DB2' as a SID?

That must be confusing.

DBA1:  What are you backing up?

DBA2:  DB2

DBA1:  What?  I thought it was an Oracle database?

DBA2:  Yeah it is, DB2.

DBA1:  But if it's Oracle, why are you backing up DB2?

DBA2:  It's an Oracle database called DB2.

DBA1:  But, if you call Oracle DB2, what do you call DB2?

DBA2:  DB2.

It wants to connect as SYS, and of course 9i only wants sys to connect
as sysdba.

This if for my home sandbox PC, I don't have enough RAM on it to install
ias 9iR2, so I am trying to jam iAS 1.0.2.2.2a in there.

If connections to 9i are not possible I suppose I will have to use
8.1.7.4.6. for that machine.

Did you apply the 8.1.7.3, I think that's the right one, patch against

Not that it helps with your install, but we have iAS 1.0.2.2.2a running

RE: password

2002-12-17 Thread Paul Heely
I used to work as a Unix security admin and would frequently run
password cracking programs against our password files.  

We found that the really weak passwords were found in the first 5
minutes, ones derived from info in the gecos fields.  Better ones, using
number/letter substitutions in common dictionary words, would be found
in the next day or so.  We stopped running after 48 hours.  We never
found that brute force iteration was worthwhile.

Consider the following if you are thinking of using a totally brute
force approach and trying all possible combinations.  I needed a break
this afternoon...

Assumptions:  All passwords are 6 characters long and all characters are
upper case.
There are 6^26=170,581,728,179,578,208,256 possible passwords
If you can attack 100,000,000 passwords per second you will need 
(6^26)/100,000,000 = 1,705,817,281,795 seconds.
1,705,817,281,795s * 1h/3600s = 473,838,133 hours
473,838,133,832h * 1d/24h = 19,743,255 days
19,743,255,576d * 1y/365d = 54,091 years

If we add the condition that passwords can be upper and lower case then
there are 6^26 possible passwords and the time to attack all possible
combinations becomes: 9.226E24 years.

Back to work now :)

It's one way encryption. So you can loop on all the permutation for
AA to ZZ  and apply the encryption code and compare the output
to the dictionary content. If it matches, then you got the password.

I thought about doing this five years ago, but decided against it.

I thought I will be under the hackers, virus developers groups.

RE: Storing of number datatype in table

2002-11-22 Thread Paul Heely
I think the number is still being stored as 11, but only being
displayed in E notation.  When I try it I get:  

scott select * from trnid;

TRN_ID
--
 1
 1
11
11

Elapsed: 00:00:00.00
scott

I entered both as a number 1 and a character string '1',
like you did.
Have you specified a format for the trn_id column?

Re: Check Constraint

2002-03-26 Thread Paul Heely

You could always do a select to see which rows will violate the check.  If
you add a check like (X5) then to see what rows would violate this do
something like:
select *
from table
where X=5;

 When a check constraint is added to a table, is there an option in Oracle
 that will display or list the rows
 in the table that violate the constraint ?  TIA.

Re: CRONTAB JOB

2002-03-15 Thread Paul Heely

Check the cron/crontab man pages to see what environment is setup for jobs
run from cron.  You can also re-direct any output from you script to a file,
i.e.
/opt/qqad/sql/QQAD_backupscript.sh  /some_file 21
This should send STDOUT and STDERR to /some_file.

Inside your script you can also show you current environment, env, printenv,
set, etc.  The output can then be re-directed to a file.

We had an issue on AIX where the environment that cron run jobs used was
different than the one you got just by logging in.

Re: Branching logic in PL/SQL, positive instead of exception

2002-03-15 Thread Paul Heely

RE: Branching logic in PL/SQL, positive instead of exceptionDoesn't a cursor
loop only process the loop body when records are found?  If this is true
then you will never execute the loop body when the %notfound condition is
true, control has already passed to the next statement following the for
loop.

As an extension of this conversation, if I have eight conditional queries,
eg.:
for i_row in main loop
   build sql
   declare cursor a select stuff
   for a_row in a loop
   if a%found
  do stuff
   elsif a%notfound
 declare cursor b select stuff
 for b_row in b loop
 if b%found
 do stuff
 elsif b%notfound
   declare cursor c select stuff
   for c_row in c loop
I'm having trouble with the %notfound and passing control.  Do you see what
I've done wrong?
Thanks, Linda

Subject:Branching logic in PL/SQL, positive instead of
exception


Hello,
I'm looking for an example of structured PL/SQL code that does not use
exception logic for branching, but instead recognizes that data is found.
As a bad example,
 Select col1 from test.table t where exists (select z.zip from zip_table z
where t.zip=z.zip ) into v_col1 ;
 exception
 when no_data_found
   begin
   select col2 from test.table2 t2 where exists (select z.zip from
zip_table z where t2.zip=z.zip) into v_col1 ; ;
   exception
   when no_data_found
 begin
I've checked the books and cannot see how to test for a positive result
instead of a negative (exception) result.
Does anyone have a good example of branching logic on record found?
Thanks, Linda
