You can wait for db tasks on shutdown immediate or you can wait for
recovery later.  It just depends on when you want to wait and the times
are not always the same.  Under some circumstances, immediate may cause
a much very long wait and that can be unacceptable.  If you need to bring it
down, don't fear abort.  There are times when abort is the tool you
need, not some evil twin.  Oracle, by design, has the db covered, less
some early v7 releases.

   Hi there.
   
   I have a similiar problem with Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 
  under Linux (Debian,
   Woody, Kernel 2.4.20-686-smp).
   The installation worked fine - at least no error 
  message was shown,
   but when I start the dbca to create a database, I 
  get an ORA-03113.
   I've searched over the internet (newsgroups and 
  webpages), but I
   didn't
   find a solution for my problem.
   I searched for the libc-patch, but I think it's 
  deprecated for
   Oracle
   9i.
   Many ppl said, like you, I just should generate the 
  scripts with the
   
   wizard and create the database manually, so I did - 
  or at least I
   tried.
   
   So, I just wanted to test, if the login works, but 
  it didn't.
   Is startet sqlplus /nolog and tried connect 
  SYS/change_on_install
   as
   SYSDBA (conn / as SYSDBA has the same effect, 
  ORACLE_SID set as
   said
   in the script) and I get:
   
 Connected to an idle instance.
   
   Ok, I think this is just normal and I tried to 
  start the database
   using
   startup nomount pfile=Correct path to init.ora;
   
   And then, all I get is an ORA-03113: end-of-file on 
  communication
   channel
   
   If I try to do a conn / afterwards, I get
 ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
 ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
 Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
   
   Any suggestions, what could be wrong? I installed 
  the Enterprise
   Version, so it can't be an Enterprise setting ... 
  it has to be a
   problem
   in the init.ora, right?
   
   System specs if required:
   Pentium II, 800 (2x - multi processor)
   1024MB RAM
   4GB Swap
   19GB diskspace free
   Debian Linux (woody)
   Kernel 2.4.20-686-smp
   
   Any help would be appreciated.

As with all backup and recovery plans, you should test, document, and
perhaps automate the process, with particular emphasis on the recovery.
What your associate describes sounds like an very expensive BR plan.

I assume you mean tar option?  I use gnu tar:

 gtar --help | grep fail

  I am in the process of exporting the data by month from the production

 work. I would prefer to use the tape restore because the data needed is
 3 GIG and will take a long time to exp/imp.
  I guess this is what you get when you use scrounged equipment to make
 a test box to improve your knowledge. It also tests your backup/restore
 equipment.

  Hi there.
  
  I have a similiar problem with Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 under Linux (Debian,
  Woody, Kernel 2.4.20-686-smp).
  The installation worked fine - at least no error message was shown,
  but when I start the dbca to create a database, I get an ORA-03113.
  I've searched over the internet (newsgroups and webpages), but I didn't
  find a solution for my problem.
  I searched for the libc-patch, but I think it's deprecated for Oracle
  9i.
  Many ppl said, like you, I just should generate the scripts with the 
  wizard and create the database manually, so I did - or at least I tried.
  
  So, I just wanted to test, if the login works, but it didn't.
  Is startet sqlplus /nolog and tried connect SYS/change_on_install as
  SYSDBA (conn / as SYSDBA has the same effect, ORACLE_SID set as said
  in the script) and I get:
  
  Connected to an idle instance.
  
  Ok, I think this is just normal and I tried to start the database using
  startup nomount pfile=Correct path to init.ora;
  
  And then, all I get is an ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication
  channel
  
  If I try to do a conn / afterwards, I get
  ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
  ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
  Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
  
  Any suggestions, what could be wrong? I installed the Enterprise
  Version, so it can't be an Enterprise setting ... it has to be a problem
  in the init.ora, right?
  
  System specs if required:
  Pentium II, 800 (2x - multi processor)
  1024MB RAM
  4GB Swap
  19GB diskspace free
  Debian Linux (woody)
  Kernel 2.4.20-686-smp
  
  Any help would be appreciated.

 Ok, I just deinstalled Oracle 9i and installed 8.1.7 which ran - after
 applying the patch - without any problems ... dunno why.
 Maybe I should try to apply the 8.1.7-glibc patch to the 9i?



Try Oracle 9.2.0.  I have installed it on many linux platforms
without any tricks.  I think you said you were using 9.0.x.  
I never had any desire to go there, so I don't know what 
may be at issue.

 No need to reboot.  Just use ipcrm to remove the
 offending SHM segments.
 
 If you don't know which ones, use ORADEBUG to
 find the segments you shouldn't remove from other
 running databases.



ipcs will tell you the id numbers to feed to ipcrm:

$ ipcs

-- Shared Memory Segments 
keyshmid  owner  perms  bytes  nattch status
0x1fa75ea8 2588672oracle64051687424   0

$ ipcrm shm 2588672
resource(s) deleted


$ ipcs

keyshmid  owner  perms  bytes  nattch status

-- Semaphore Arrays 
keysemid  owner  perms  nsems  status

-- Message Queues 
keymsqid  owner  perms  used-bytes   messages





 
 Or just shutdown all instances and remove any
 SHM owned by Oracle.
 
 Probably a bug, but I haven't checked into it yet.

 I've had this problem on linux.  Best and fastest solution:  reboot the
 server.  There is a memory issue preventing you from starting oracle.  I
 just had it happen about 2 minutes ago on an upgrade to 9i.  Reboot, and
 now I can start the db.

NGSSoftware Insight Security Research Advisory

Name:Oracle unauthenticated remote system compromise
Systems Affected:  All platforms; Oracle9i Database Release 2, 9i Release 1,
8i, 8.1.7, 8.0.6
Severity:  Critical Risk
Category:   Remote System Buffer Overrun
Vendor URL:   http://www.oracle.com
Author:   Mark Litchfield ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Date:   16th February 2003
Advisory number: #NISR16022003a


Description
***
Oracle is the leader in the database market with a 54% market share lead
under ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning). The database server is vulnerable
to a remotely exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability. What exacerbates
this problem is that no valid User ID or password is required by an
attacker.

Details
***
There is a remotely exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability in the
authentication process with the Oracle Database Server.  By supplying an
overly long username when attempting to log onto the database server an
attacker can overflow a stack based buffer overwriting the saved return
address.  Any arbitrary code supplied by an attacker would execute with the
same privileges as the user running the service; this account is typically
Oracle on linux/unix based platforms and Local System on Windows based
operating systems such as NT/2000/XP. As such this allows for a complete
compromise of the data stored in the database and possibly a complete
compromise of the operating system.  As most client applications for Oracle
will tuncate the length of the username that can be supplied to the database
an attacker would need to write their own Oracle Authenticator to exploit
this issue. That said, NGSSoftware has found one client application that
will allow longer usernames so to test if you are vulnerable to this issue,
use the LOADPSP utility usually found in bin directory found under the
OracleHomeInstallDirectory. On Windows, for example, run:

C:\ora9ias\BINloadpsp -name -user LONGUSERNAME/tiger@iasdb myfile


Fix Information
***
NGSSoftware alerted Oracle to this vulnerability on 30th September 2002.
Oracle has reviewed the code and created a patch which is available from:

http://otn.oracle.com/deploy/security/pdf/2003alert51.pdf

NGSSoftware advise Oracle database customers to review and install the patch
as a matter of urgency.

A check for these issues has been added to NGSSQuirreL for Oracle, a
comprehensive automated vulnerability assessment tool for Oracle Database
Servers of which more information is available from the NGSSite

http://www.ngssoftware.com/software/squirrelfororacle.html

It is further recommend that Oracle DBAs have their network/firewall
administrators ensure that the database server is protected from Internet
sourced traffic.

Re: 02/11/2003 security alerts

2003-02-14 Thread Ray Stell

I downloaded some of these interim patches. Fortunately for me,
the software needed to apply the patch is not included in the
distribution.  The readme points to Oracle9i Data Server Interim Patch
Installation (OPatch) Doc ID: 189489.1, which says:

 An Interim Patch is tested by itself but no system regression testing
 is done until it is included in the next Patch Set. Because of this,
 it is highly recommended that all customers needing bug fixes wait for
 a Patch Set or product release that includes the fix.

and

 The fix in each Interim Patch is a separate and unique branch off the
 base code line and does not automatically include other fixes made
 since the last baseline.  Oracle does this to minimize the risk that a
 patch will have unexpected side effects. Because of this it is
 possible that a particular Interim Patch could cancel out a previously
 installed Interim Patch.

I find this approach to system security reprehensible.  

1. I count 6 outstanding security related patches since the last patchset,
   9.2.0.2. 

2. I don't believe there will be a patchset beyond 8.1.7.4 and there
   are outstanding holes.  That means I have to apply the one-off, untested
   patches to production services. 

3. There is no point in releasing the advisory if there is no action that they
   suggest you take.  
 
4. When do you know when you need to apply a interim security patch?  Would
   that be before or after the system is hacked?  

Oracle Corp.:  You take the blue pill and the story ends.  You wake in your bed 
and you believe whatever you want to believe.

Have a nice weekend.

Thanks for you replies.  I've never tried this before and it seems like
there are two different approaches on the surface:

1. use two different userids, ora817 and ora920, to do the install.  This
seems stupid, since it replicates the product directory structure and
oraInventory stuff under different ownership.  This might be safer since
it is like running one version in that everything is seperate, but
maybe there are operational issues to not using the oracle userid.
Seems like there may be a gotcha waiting in the wings.  Like maybe you
can't run the same listener for both, or worse.  

2. use the same oracle userid for both installs and change the environment
vars as needed.  Seems like you could damage the first install if you
made a mistake.  Also, it seems like in a stressful failure situation
you don't want to have to think about who's on first?  I don't know, 
third base.

Are both paths valid?

Would you mind expanding on that, other people say the multiple userid idea

Well, it seems like it could be confusing either way, you gotta remember 
one thing or the other and get it right.  Could be fun at crunch time.
I'm more concerned about the hidden gotchas of not using the oracle id.
I suspect the Oracle Corp devel comment about assuming the oracle userid is 
a very strong one.  I'll check the docs ;)

 This just got too confusing, 

OK, I'll go that way.  However, if I don't get the env right, I'm pretty 
sure I can trash some of the software already installed.  What are the critical 
vars:

ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_SID

Re: Oracle 9.2.0.1/2 on Mandrake 9 - solved

2002-11-14 Thread Ray Stell

Oracle Corp. finds the checksum concept to be alien.  They actually
posted these words to me in a tar at metalink, We don't support
servers that are installed via download from otn.  I guess network
computing really is dead. ;)

 installation of both 9.2.0.1 and a patch went with no

 Apparently Disk2 was corrupted/missing files/??? on

 the most is that I didn't get any errors at

 On the bright side, some .o, .so etc. files I see in

 Thanks a lot for you help.

 I guess disk explanation is the most logical one to

 the same place on disk (say same bad sector)?

not likely, and you would probably get i/o errors at other times on
other files.


 One interesting thing I've noticed after comparing
 your ls -l output with mine is that all other 4 image
 files in this directory are dated way back to 2000
 timeframe, whereas credits.gif has a time stamp of
 yestarday (day I tried the installation last time). I
 can view the file with the browser, however. What does
 it tell me?

I'm not sure.  I guess it is possible that the timestamp did not get
copied yet and the failure interupted.

I wonder if the cd is bad and the msg is deceiving.  That would explain
why it fails at the same file during each install.  Maybe it isn't the
write, but the associated read of the cd and OUI is being creative
in the msg.  Sounds like a long shot.

Try to copy the cd files in some other fashion like dd.  Maybe
something will float to the surface.

oracle cluster file system

2002-11-12 Thread Ray Stell

I was listening to a linux q and a session by Wim Coekaerts:

http://www.oracle.com/oracleworld/online/sanfrancisco/index.html?chats.html

He is questioned about the oracle cluster filesystem for linux.
He said it was available as an rpm at otn.  Has anyone had a chance 
to see this up front?  I had never heard of the effort.

Right, nothing there, so I was wondering if there was a way to chase

No, the transaction was rolled back completely, or perhaps
it resynced when the remote db recovered and thus covered
the tracks.  This is a good thing.

I am wondering if I can find the app that was hit.
I'm just curious, not trying to recover.  Otherwise,

 Rick,
   I will assume that all logs are properly backed up.
   The only difference in the recoverability of the 2 scenarios is that
 an incomplete recovery cannot be done to a time while any tablespace in the
 database is in hot backup mode. So, there is a window of exposure in
 Scenario 1, that does not exist in 2. For this reason, it is recommended
 that each tablespace be placed in backup mode, the files copied, the
 tablespace taken out of backup mode and the process sleeps for 1 minute.


1 minute?  What's that about?



 Repeat with the next tablespace, etc.

Re: Linux

2002-10-23 Thread Ray Stell

Define Linux.

Check the support matrix.  I liked running on Redhat, but Oracle seemed
to drop support for the free versions after 7.1 or so.  Anyway, you may
want support and so you may want to purchase some of the enterprise
releases of linux, such as from RedHat or SuSE that are included in the
support matrix.

For an inexpensive test environment I moved to Mandrake 9.0 and Oracle
9.2.0 which went together like a glove.  It does require .5GB or ram,
however and is not supported.  I don't care about that for this particular
effort.

Free at last!

Re: Fw: oraperf comment

2002-10-22 Thread Ray Stell
 for the apparent 
mis-naming of the wait-events db file sequential read and db file scattered read 
-- I'm sure that it is downloadable from http://www.hotsos.com.  Even when 
asynchronous I/O is available and configured, indexed I/O operations are still 
essentially synchronous (and non-parallel)...
 
 There is a possibility of some form of parallelization in range-scan 
operations, but there is no evidence that this is happening.  For example, while 
performing an indexed range-scan, if we wanted to read a batch of index entries from 
the index leaf blocks and submit a list of I/O requests for data blocks on the 
corresponding table, we could do so.  However, when I've performed truss operations 
on an Oracle server process performing such a range-scan operation (at least through 
Oracle8i), I've not seen this happening.  Purely generic read() operations, one at 
a time, sequentially...
 
 ---
 
 The only real advantages of separating tables from indexes into different 
tablespaces are:
   a.. different recoverability requirements 
 a.. indexes can be rebuilt instead of restored 
 b.. data (tables and clusters) must be restored -- cannot be rebuilt from 
anything
   b.. different types of I/O requests 
 a.. indexes are predominantly accessed using single-block, random read I/O 
(i.e. UNIQUE scans, RANGE scans, FULL scans) 
   a.. relatively seldom are accessed with multi-block sequentially-accessed 
read I/O (i.e. FAST FULL scans)
 b.. while tables are often accessed with a mix of the two types of I/O, 
depending on the application 
   a.. OLTP usually has heavier single-block, random read I/O due to heavy 
use of indexes 
   b.. DW usually has heavier multi-block, sequentially-accessed read I/O due 
to heavy use of FULL table scans
 c.. may be advantages from this in Oracle9i where different blocksizes are 
possible for different tablespaces
 These last points are related to performance, but not in the sense that the 
mythical conventional wisdom dictates...
 
 Hope this helps...

[ST-GSPUSER.US@oracle.com: Updated Security Alert #42 patch]

2002-10-16 Thread Ray Stell


These people are really irritating?  Not only do they release bad
patches, they don't provide a checksum on the patch files.  I have
to play a guessing game as to when a file was downloaded.  I've seen 
better support from high school students (literally).   What a bunch 
of amateurs!

Those last two sentences would not be included if oracle would provide
a checksum for the zip files.  It is a fundamental aspect of internet file 
serving.  It provides another level of security and in this case clarity.  
I can see making mistakes in the code, but to not provide this level 
of service when it is so easily done is not unforgivable.  

Anybody at oracle listening?   geez, Louis!

Let me get this straight, they know I downloaded the patch 
but they don't know when/which?   Maybe they could use Microsoft
SQL Server to keep track of this information.  Maybe they could do 
something really advanced like put a version number in the readme.

OK, I'm done.  Thanks for listening ;)

security alert #45

2002-10-14 Thread Ray Stell



http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showDoc?db=NEWid=215900.996

Oracle Security Alert #45
Dated: 04 October 2002 (Updated: 10 October 2002)
Severity: 1

Security Release of Apache 1.3.27

Description
Apache has released version 1.3.27 of its HTTP Server that contains fixes for the 
security vulnerabilities noted below and described at http://cve.mitre.org.  The 
vulnerabilities that affect all of the supported versions of the Oracle HTTP Server 
(OHS) are:

CAN-2002-0839: This is a security vulnerability involving System V shared memory based 
scoreboards.  It can only occur on Oracle Linux and HP ports. Exploitation of this 
vulnerability requires that a malicious and knowledgeable user be able to run his 
programs on the server web site.  As a few commercial web sites allow this, the 
vulnerability applies to few sites. If a malicious and knowledgeable user is able to 
run his own programs, the web site has more serious, unrelated security issues than 
the exploit of this vulnerability. 
CAN-2002-0840: This is a cross-site scripting vulnerability involving the default 
error 404 pages.  It can occur on all Oracle database platforms.  Exploitation of this 
vulnerability requires the use of wildcard DNS and the setting of UseCanonicalNames = 
OFF. 
CAN-2002-0843: There were potential buffer overflows in Apache Bench (ab) that could 
be exploited by a malicious server.   Note that 'ab' is not in Apache itself but is an 
HTTP client utility used for generating load for performance testing.  This 
vulnerability only occurs when the 'ab' load generating HTTP client, used for 
performance testing, is used against a malicious HTTP server. 
These security vulnerabilities are described in more detail at http://cve.mitre.org/

Product afftected
OHS in Oracle Database Releases 8.1.7.x, 9.0.1.x and 9.2.x
OHS in Oracle9i Application Server Releases 1.0.2.x and 9.0.2.x

Platforms affected
All except as noted in item #1 in the Description above.

Went great!  Well, sort of...

I didn't even read the install guide (and the results

I expected it to blow up there.  It didn't, no glibc issues 
to be seen.  I don't have enough memory to actually start the db, however.
I get:

Fri Oct 11 09:53:18 2002

// *Cause: shmat() call failed
// *Action: check permissions on segment, contact Oracle support

0x0f40 = 256MB

I don't even have that much real memory.  This is a junker pc I
resurrected from the dumpster with duct tape and prayer.  
On the upside the install was one of the smoothest I've ever seen.
Mandrake 9.0 and Ora 9.2.0 seem to be a nice fit (as long as ora
support is not an issue).  Mandrake 9's installer is really slick,
one of the best of any os I've ever seen.

Alright, break times over!

  Obvious answer from Oracle Support was 8.1.7.4 for the reason that it was

Re: 9.2 on Red Hat 8.0

2002-10-09 Thread Ray Stell


I'm going to try mandrake 9.0, which came out this week, with some 8i and 9i
this week.  I'll post a followup.  Mandrake is basically rh with a
better installer, actually one of the best installers I've seen ever!
No ora support, just for fun.

 Oracle seems to change their official mind from time to time, but the reality is 
that RedHat 7.1 and 7.3 are the best versions to run with Oracle.  I've had 
absolutely no problems with either version of the OS, and the installation and setup 
are well documented (both by Oracle and third-party sites).
 
 AS2 appears to have been targetted to Oracle, and installs super clean (the least 
amount of effort yet required).  Good deal if you're looking for the top of the line 
configuration.
 
 I've tried installing 8.1.7 (my usual testbed) on RedHat 8.0 this past weekend and 
encountered some problems.  It doesn't like Apache 2.0 in the mix, even though it 
doesn't use it.  It has some problems getting the IP address, but I can fix that 
afterwards.  The tough issues are which JDK (seems like 1.1.8 is the answer) and 
which compat- libs.  I'm plowing through the compat- libs issue right now.  Hopefully 
it will be fully installed and I can give some feedback as to how it runs in a week 
or so.

Yes, you can use dd to read a tape.

from man dd:

 Example 3: Reading a Tape Into an ASCII File

 This example reads an EBCDIC tape blocked ten 80-byte EBCDIC
 card images per block into the ASCII file x:

 example% dd if=/dev/tape of=x ibs=800 cbs=80 conv=ascii,lcase


Are you going to sleep well until you have tested and documented
the recovery procedure?  No.

 Here's the problem - he's using a dd command, primarily because it 
 provides a succinct output he can email to non-technicals.  The file 
 system is built on a 12 disk A1000 array.  We've provided him with a 
 ufsdump script, but he's doesn't want to use it. Can the system be 
 recovered from this tape?  Has anyone ever relied on a dd for a daily 
 backup method? The system is Oracle 9i on Solaris 8.

roles: 

SQL select role, GRANTED_ROLE from ROLE_ROLE_PRIVS;

ROLE   GRANTED_ROLE

DBADELETE_CATALOG_ROLE
DBAEXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE
DBAEXP_FULL_DATABASE

EXP_FULL_DATABASE  EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE
EXP_FULL_DATABASE  SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE
IMP_FULL_DATABASE  EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE
IMP_FULL_DATABASE  SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE
OEM_MONITORCONNECT


Sometimes it's _ROLE and sometimes it not.  Any strong 
recommendataion for local names of roles?  Is there a good
guide to naming in general?   Thanks.

Thanks for the pointer, maybe not must be broken , this is 8.1.7.4:


SQL select job, what, broken from dba_jobs;

 Oracle 8.1.7 docs state you have to own a job to remove it.  I would
 like to remove another users job.  Is the only way to do by doing the 
 old swap user pw trick?

Re: log_file_sync io wait question

2002-09-19 Thread Ray Stell



What about Steve Adam's comments at:

http://www.ixora.com.au/tips/tuning/log_buffer_size.htm

What results have been achived by tweeking _log_io_size settings? 
I was about to poke around with this.  


Of course, it is not necessary to carefully balance log buffer space
waits against log file sync waits. You can have both a large log_buffer
setting to avoid log buffer space waits, and a relatively small
_log_io_size setting to minimize log file sync waits and reduce their
duration.

 We have a canned package that we use to insert approx 100 records/second
 into one table (oltp environment).
 Each record is just under 1K (datatypes = number and varchar).
 There are several indexes that are build on the table as the records are
 inserted.
 Each  and every record is committed.
 Therefore we are flushing the 'redo log buffer' to disk (online redo
 logfiles) 100 times per second (once per commit).
 
 Not surprisingly we have noticed IO waits which we believe are associated
 with our 'Redo Log buffer'.  Namely ;
log_file_sync = 180 waits/sec
log_file_parallel_write = 180 waits/sec
 
 We tried resizing the 'redo log buffer' from 16K to 256K - but we did not
 notice any improvements.
 Neither Log switching or archiving  seem to be excessive.
 100 records per second seems to be our maximum speed without the application
 queuing up and Oracle showing very high waits on log_file_sync and
 log_file_parallel_writes.
 
 Does anyone know how we might be able to minimize the IO waits?
 
 Thanks in advance.

snapshot of a remote snapshot without pk

2002-09-09 Thread Ray Stell


short question, log demo:

Since I can't make a snapshot of a remote partition (this is really
what I wanted in the first place), I make a snapshot on the remote
machine first and then snapshot the remote snapshot.  This works if
there is a PK on the remote original table, but not if I try to use
rowid.  Below is the demo, can anyone suggest a workaround?


demo that it works with pk:
===
on remote machine:
--
SQL CREATE TABLE EMP2
   (EMPNO NUMBER(4) NOT NULL,
ENAME VARCHAR2(10)
   )
   PARTITION by range (empno)
 (partition e6 values less than (6),
  partition e12 values less than (12),
  partition e18 values less than (maxvalue))
/

Table created.

SQL alter table emp2  add constraint emp_pk primary key(empno);

Table altered.

(insert some data)

create snapshot emp2_snap as select * from emp2 partition (e6);

SQL create snapshot emp2_snap as select * from emp2 partition (e6);

Materialized view created.

SQL select * from emp2_snap;

SQL create snapshot emp2_local_snap as select * from [EMAIL PROTECTED];
