Re: 2G trace files

On Wed, 2003-10-29 at 14:44, Paul Drake wrote: Richard, Are you sure that you are targeting your diagnostic efforts appropriately? If all users are using dedicated servers, then each trace file should only have the info for one session. If your interval for a statspack report is an entire week, its going to be pretty tough to find the particular query that you're looking for. Are you tracing all sessions, all the time? The feds don't put up routine checkpoints on federal interstates just to check for expired registration. It would bottleneck the entire system and generate too much info to be processed effectively. From the Heisenburg angle, I would think that generating such a large amount of trace would clearly be impacting the server's I/O subsystem in a big way.

Rich Rich Jesse System/Database Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quad/Tech Inc, Sussex, WI USA -Original Message- From: Thomas Day [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2003 12:34 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Change Character sets I have a database that was populated using an export from an US7ASCII Oracle database. The current database is WE8ISO8859P1 which is not a superset of US7ASCII. So I can't change the characterset using the ALTER DATABASE as the manual suggests. The alternative is to export the database, drop the current instance, create a new instance with the correct characterset and import the old database. But I know that there is no data in the database that was not supported in the US7ASCII database. Is there a shortcut? The UPDATE sys.PROPS$ trick is a no-go. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Jesse, Rich 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).
