Re: SqlNet Response ports
Thank you very much for the information Don. We are using 9i and I think MTS, though I am not certain of that. I will pass this on to our DBA, I am sure he will find this helpful. At 06:03 PM 2/24/2003 -0800, you wrote: I guess I should have asked also: 1) what version of Oracle are you using? 2) Is this using MTS or dedicated servers? Since this is Linux, there are three cases: 1) Dedicated severs - there is no redirection. Client talks to dedicated server on listener port. 2) MTS Oracle 9i - ditto 3) MTS pre-9iR2 - MTS does redirect by default 0 to some (pseudo-)random port above 1024 but this may be overridden by adding a pfile (init.ora) entry like: mts_dispatchers=(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=yourhostname)(port=443))(dispa tchers=1) See: Metalink Bulletin: 1016349.102 Note: 163082.999 Go to advanced search and search on Doc ID with these IDs. There may be multiple mts_dispatchers= lines in the init file and there may be other parameters of interest. For the sake of this particular issue though, the pertinent item is the (port=443) clause. It would force MTS redirects to port 443. Actually, this parameter is obsoleted by the initiiation parameter: local_listener=listener_name_alias where tnsnames.ora has an entry like: listener_name_alias=(address=(protocol= tcp)(host= yourhostname)(port= 443))... and other appriopriate MTs initialization parameters. Please see the documentation for your version for options. Good luck!

Re: To Anyone involved in Web apps
Thank you for the comments on this so far. Our situation is very similar to the one Mohammed describes here, IIS/ASP accessing Oracle as the DB. I like the idea of the database handling as much of the security as possible, especially as we have a number of applications accessing the same DB, and a good deal of overlap in the users of each, and we are requiring a username/password logon in each app. The only concrete argument I have seen so far in favor of the single oracle schema logon is the advantage of connection pooling. Since our applications are specialized use, and I doubt we'll ever have more than 50 concurrent users over all the apps, at what point does connection pooling become a significant performance benefit? Thank you Regina At 01:40 PM 1/21/2003 -0800, you wrote: Hi Regina, I'll my 2 cents here. We are creating a single Oracle user for each connection. Our app is using IIS/ASP and Oracle as the DB. We looked into using a single app user and controling security from the app. Since our is designed for a secure site, we wanted to keep as much control of security within the database as possible and leave as little to the IIS/ASP comboniation as we could. The security layer is built into the database and we only use the front end to authenticate to the database. We have also turned on autiditing so that we know who has logged on and what they are doing - again, a requriment for the project. Granted, we could have done this via the front end application but we felt much more comfortable putting the security into the hands of the database layer even though this requried the creation of a database user per connection. This is handled via stored procs called from the front end by a security officer so there is very little DBA intervention in managing database users. The disadvantage is obviously we can't use application connection pooling but we can use MTS; although on NT this seems to work not too well. We seem to see a lot of latency. Advantage is from the security perpective i.e. we let the datbase handle all the security, we know who, when and from where each user logged in and we can easliy control access by modifying roles and privs and they take effect immediately. hth mohammed --- Regina Harter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I have a question for any of you involved in Web applications.

RE: Oracle Application Server on .net
The way it was explained to me at a .NET upgrade conference is that .NET is sort of an overlay on top of XP.

value. I usually nvl to return a space for null values when I have to
consider them, then a not equal will work.

This isn't exactly correct. There may be other values in this field, and if
they show up I need to include them, not just records where this field is
null. What am I missing? Is it because the value is NULL that Oracle
excludes it from the IN() statement, because of the classic definition of
NULL (can't be defined, therefore can't be sure it's not a C or a P)?
This is easy enough to fix, I'll change my data load to populate the null
values with my own code. But still? Have I got the WHY correct?
Thanks for any light someone can shed on this stupid question.

Re: what is wrong in query
Well, I don't believe this:
{oj t_po LEFT OUTER JOIN t_ep_po on t_ep_po.id_prop = t_po.id_po}
is valid in Oracle, unless there has been some drastic change I wasn't
informed of.

Re: Avoiding Duplicates and Transitive Operations

What I want to know is if SQL SELECT C1, C2 FROM ian.TEST1 2 WHERE EXISTS (SELECT C1 FROM ian.TEST2) undergoes a transitive operation to SELECT C1, C2 FROM ian.TEST1 2 WHERE EXISTS (SELECT C1 FROM ian.TEST2 where test1.c1 = test2.c1) / Of course not, why would it do that?

Re: Why this SQL does not work?
The way I understand it is rownum does not exist until the data set is returned. The first row returned therefore is rownum = 1 because it is the first row in the dataset, but you are looking for rownum = 5, so it throws that one away. The next row is returned and again is rownum = 1 because it is now the first row in the dataset, but again you are looking for rownum = 5, so it throws that away too. And so on and so on. Basically, it never gets to rownum = 5. So you can use rownum = 1 or rownum anything more than 1, but nothing else. At 01:44 PM 7/11/01 -0800, you wrote: List, Following are two SQL statements.

Restrictions returning a Long field
Hi People, Does anyone know of a database parameter (or any other reason) in a 7.1.6 database that would restrict the amount of data returned from a long field? We have an application that won't show any data over 32K from a long field. I'm thinking the problem is on the application side somewhere, but the programmer responsible for it claims Oracle is only delivering 32K of the long field to the application and we should look to the database. The only thing I could find that sounds like it might even remotely affect this is the db_block_buffers, and that's already at 5000, but I don't have all the books and could have easily overlooked something. Anyone have any ideas?

RE: OT - SSN( Enforced Constraints (sic) ??
When the DMV first asked for my SSN, I gave them an incorrect one, because as far as I'm concerned they don't need to know it. Now that they actually check the number with the SSA I was forced to correct it. Most places are forbidden to require that you supply your SSN unless they need it to report taxable earnings. I regularly refuse to supply mine. At 10:58 AM 6/12/01 -0800, you wrote: It's interesting that SSNs are not recycled. My mother works for the SSA and says they are after the person is deceased for a certain period of time (I forget the specifics). Also, a lot of people get nervous when you use their SSN for an identifier. I've noticed that most State Driver's Licenses do not use the SSN at the license number anymore because people were getting their identities stolen. The same thing goes for having it printed permanently on your checks. Let's calculate quickly on this one: 250,000,000 million in the U.S. (Legal) 999,999,999 possible numbers (xxx-xx-) - equals mandatory recycling. --Michael -Original Message- [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2001 2:18 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L There is also a problem with SSNs, if you deal with Foreign nationals.

Re: Bad SQL.....
I think it's just Friday. You need to rewrite your statement to read
something like this:
UPDATE AVAILABLE_POWER SET available_power_driver_terminated = 'Y'
where available_power.driver_id in (select manpowerprofile.mpp_id
from manpowerprofile where manpowerprofile.mpp_terminationdt
to_date('31-DEC-2049','DD-MON-') )

Re: Creating a sorted table
Well, it won't work in all cases, but I have on occasion used as a shortcut: INSERT INTO ...

Re: Basic logon architecture for multiple apps in a db
We have the users log in as themselves, because that was the only way to handle the permissions properly. We also use fully qualified table names rather than synonyms, though that was mostly because we have data split among several schemas using identical table names. We just make the table owner dynamic and swap in the proper name at runtime. Works much better than trying to handle swapping and redefining synonyms. At 12:40 PM 4/11/01 -0800, you wrote: O Esteemed and Wise Colleagues, (My first sending of this didn't seem to make it to the list... Knowing our mail server it may show up in a few weeks!) How do application (Forms or other) users access your tables? Do they logon as themselves? Do you switch their logon behind their backs to that of the app owner (like Oracle Apps does?) I'm wrestling with this now. The way I see it, I've got two choices, with several subchoices: 1. User logs in as self and accesses the tables either: a. via synonyms (to tables or to table API package), or b. via full table path qualification, i.e., GL.ACCOUNT or GL.ACCOUNT_API (package). 2. User logs in (knowingly or unknowingly via behind the scenes smoke-and-mirrors) as app owner, and accesses tables directly. Peronally, I much prefer the logging in as self route. It's easier to trace users, sessions, security, access, performance, etc. I also prefer using synonyms, since most application design environments - including Forms - don't fully qualify tables or views by default. The problem is that synonym names can conflict between applications. One solution is to prefix the app_short_name to the name of each table or view. I hate that. Another thought is to create synonyms dynamically as the user logs on to an application. That's no good if the user logs on to two apps at the same time. If you go with relogging in as the app owner, you somehow have to keep track of who the user really is (some common package variable, most likely) and then use that info as needed. That sounds like lots of extra code. So, how do YOUR users access your apps? Any ideas? I need guidance, and I'll really, truly, honestly, very much appreciate any you can send my way.

Re: Optimizer theory: Question on access paths for outer joins
I am a little confused. Is not PHONE, in this query, the one WITHOUT the +? At 11:25 AM 4/10/01 -0800, you wrote: Hi all, I was just trying to figure out why in an outer join Oracle prefers to access the table with the (+) first. I would have thought that the table from which all the data was coming would come first and then appropriate rows would come from the second table with nulls being generated for non-existent rows. I started looking at it because of the following query: Simplified SQL: select stuff from inlineview1 T0, inlineview2 T1, inlineview3 T2, account ac, phone ph where T0.generic_id = T1.account_id and T1.account_id = T2.account_id (+) and T1.valid_flag = T2.valid_flag (+) and T0.generic_id = ac.id and ph.id = ac.current_phone_id(+) In this query the inline views are rather complicated but apply substantial restrictions on ACCOUNT (a huge table, as is PHONE). Logically, it is faster to run the inline views first, join them to ACCOUNT and then go to phone. The Optimizer kept doing a full table scan on PHONE first, and then joining to Account. I tried ORDERED, FIRST_ROWS and INDEX hints to no avail. The hints work if I take away the outer join symbol (but of course this gives incomplete results). I finally tricked Oracle into going in the correct order by adding a WHERE clause to the ACCOUNT of AND ac.id 0 (presumably causing the Optimizer to think there's more of a restriction on ACCOUNT and therefore taking it first). Since id is always greater than 0 this doesn't change the results but makes the query run much faster. So I have it working the way I want, but I'm still wonderinG why the Optimizer prefers to read the (+) table first? From the "Everything you always Wanted to Know About the Oracle Optimizer" book I know that the Optimizer tries to sort the join orders in ascending order of their computed cardinality. I'd guess that the Optimizer assumes an outer joined table will be returning some default percentage of the other table and therefore should always be accessed first? Can anyone confirm or refute this? Thanks!

The best definition I found is from the Encyclopedia Brittanica, which says shortening is a product with "shortening power, or the ability to weaken and lubricate the structure of baked products to produce tenderness".

Re: Inserting data from long table into wide table

SQLCode in 8i
We have a number of Powerbuilder applications for which we have been using the SQLCode returned from a sql statement execution to determine the next action, depending on if the statement failed (SQLCode 0), didn't return any rows (SQLCode = 100) or successfully returned data (SQLCode = 0). We upgraded to 8.1.6 two weeks ago, and just discovered that, outside of an exception block, SQLCode now always returns 0. Do any of you know a way to return to the old codes, or make it treat Powerbuilder like an exception block, or know of some other code we could use to gather this information? -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Regina Harter INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California-- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists 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).

Re: Insert without telling column names

Roland,
You can't. There are a number of ways to really cut down on the code
required to do an insert, but if you think about it, how will Oracle
know where the data is supposed to go if you don't give it the column
name(at some point)?
Of course you can. The only caveat is Oracle will assume you are filling
all the columns in order, therefore you must provide a value for every
column, ie
For Table T1(firstname, lastname, telephone, fax, email)
insert into T1 values('John','Smith','4849910','','[EMAIL PROTECTED]')
Note the '' in place of a fax number. I could also have used null.
I never use this method in applications or procedures, of course, because
then if you change the table definition it no longer works, but for testing
stuff, or something I'm only going to run once it's a decent shortcut.
If you're using 8i, there is a direct load insert, but as far as I'm
aware, this will work only for a select * from another table.
Dynamic SQL works pretty well for this kind of stuff. What are you
trying to do?

I might be wrong (happens all the time), but I thought Baseball and Basketball were distinctly inventions of the USA. You are correct, though, as far as basketball goes, they might be referring to the fact that the gentleman who invented basketball (in New Hampshire) was born in Canada (and apparently beat feet to the US as soon as he could ;) ) You might be able to tell I'm a rabid fan of neither. Penicillin and the telephone?? Other delusions of grandeur? As for penicillin: The action of natural penicillin was first observed in 1928 by British bacteriologist Sir Alexander Fleming, but another ten years passed before penicillin was concentrated and studied by British biochemist Ernst Chain, British pathologist Sir Howard Florey, and other scientists. And the telehpone: On March 10, 1876, in Boston, Massachusetts, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. Thomas Watson fashioned the device itself; a crude thing made of a wooden stand, a funnel, a cup of acid, and some copper wire. But these simple parts and the equally simple first telephone call -- Mr. Watson, come here, I want you! -- belie a complicated past. Bell filed his application just hours before his competitor, Elisha Gray, filed notice to soon patent a telephone himself. What's more, though neither man had actually built a working telephone, Bell made his telephone operate three weeks later using ideas outlined in Gray's Notice of Invention, methods Bell did not propose in his own patent. Elisha Gray was from Ohio, Alexander Graham Bell was from Scotland, though he did live in Canada 2 years before moving to Boston. How about the only country that can't decide if they're English or French? How about the US's biggest colony via cultural conquest(ohh, that's a low blow).

You guys are gonna love this one, it is soft moist - a little like the good old American brownie, but it is essentially a Loaf Cake. Ingredients: 225g soft unsalted butter 375g dark muscovado sugar 2 large eggs - beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 100g best dark chocolate - melted 200g plain flour 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 250ml boiling water 23*13*7cm loaf tin Preheat the oven to 190c/gas mark 5, put in a baking sheet case of gooey sticky drips later;) and grease and line the loaf tin. The lining is important as this is a very damp cake: use parchment, Bake-O-Glide or one of those loaf-tin-shaped paper cases. Cream the butter and sugar, either with a wooden spoon or an electric hand held mixer, then add the eggs and vanilla, beating in well. Next fold in the melted and now slightly cooled chocolate, taking care to blend well, but being careful not to over beat. You want the ingredients combined: you DON'T want a light airy mass. Then gently add the flour, to which you've added the bicarb, alternately spoon by spoon, with the boiling water until you have a smooth and fairly liquid batter. Pour into the lined loaf tin and bake for 30 mins. turn the oven down to 170c/gas mark 3 and continue to cook for another 15 mins. The cake will still be a bit squidgy inside, so an inserted cake-tester or skewer won't come out completely clean. Place the loaf tin on a rack, and leave to get completely cold (if you can resist it G) before turning it out. (The *Author* recommends leaving it for a day - hhuummm you won't get that far I can guarantee). Don't worry if it sinks in the middle: indeed it WILL do so because its such a dense and damp cake. She goes on to say it makes 8-10 slices. My advice is share it with you nearest and dearest only and cut it in to about 3! :0) There you go Friday Recipe has returned, now who's turn is it next week?

Re: sequence generator
At 04:30 PM 2/23/01 -0800, you wrote: Can anyone correct/confirm the following: A sequence generated number is auto committed. i.e if the transaction that generates the sequence number fails which eventually gets rolledback the generated sequence number generated is lost and not available for the next transaction. You are correct, sequences are auto committed. Is there by anyway prevent lossing of the sequence generated number in case of the transaction that generated it fails.Any work around? The problem is, with this happening finnally the column that will have the sequence genarted number will not be continuous set of numbers. Generally, sequences are not good options for values which must be a continuous set of numbers. I know of no good way to recover lost sequence values. On the few occasions that we have required a continuous set of numbers, we have used a separate table which contains the next number in the sequence, which is then updated after use, which operation will of course be rolled back in case of failure. Another option is just to user max + 1 of the column in question, but coding that can sometimes get messy, depending on what else you are doing. I needed a second opinion on the above points.

Re: Silly question perhaps -- iAS vs. IIS
We use IIS very successfully connecting to our Oracle database. I can't really give you impact because I don't know what a OAS connection is like, but we generally get very good response from the Web Server, and always get a good response from the database. However, it is rare that we have more than 20 users connected at once, though the web or otherwise. The only thing we have had to be very careful about is being sure to close all connections on the same page that we open them because the connection doesn't die just because the session was closed.

Another box is using the Oracle Application Web Toolkit to access my database, generating thousands of separate sessions per day, each about one second in length.
