SQL Notice No commit; Session B SQL update t2 set x=4 where x=2; 1 row updated. SQL update t2 set x=4 where x=1; this waits for the commit/rollback in session A Robert Pegram Oracle Certified DBA (8i,9i) --- Jesse, Rich [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey all, After converting three columns on a multi-million row table from NULLs to SPACEs, the devs found one other program that pops NULLs into those columns (sigh). So, with only 150 rows needing updating, my knee-jerk reaction was to do a simple: UPDATE mytable SET mcol1 = ' ' WHERE mcol1 IS NULL; ...and repeat for mcol2 and mcol3. Since this is a heavy table for us (Time/Attendance), I'm wondering about locking, since the UPDATEs won't be using an index because of the IS NULL. When I RTFM for 8.1.7, I found this: --- The locking characteristics of INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and SELECT ... FOR UPDATE statements are as follows: The transaction that contains a DML statement acquires exclusive row locks on the rows modified by the statement. Other transactions cannot update or delete the locked rows until the locking transaction either commits or rolls back. The transaction that contains a DML statement does not need to acquire row locks on any rows selected by a subquery or an implicit query, such as a query in a WHERE clause. A subquery or implicit query in a DML statement is guaranteed to be consistent as of the start of the query and does not see the effects of the DML statement it is part of. A query in a transaction can see the changes made by previous DML statements in the same transaction, but cannot see the changes of other transactions begun after its own transaction. In addition to the necessary exclusive row locks, a transaction that contains a DML statement acquires at least a row exclusive table lock on the table that contains the affected rows. If the containing transaction already holds a share, share row exclusive, or exclusive table lock for that table, the row exclusive table lock is not acquired. If the containing transaction already holds a row share table lock, Oracle automatically converts this lock to a row exclusive table lock. --- To me, this says that the row locks will only be placed on the affected rows and not every row in the table, in addition to the RX lock on the table. Is this correct? I guess I'm looking for evidence that I could or could not update this table during the day. Thanks!

RE: Locally managed tablespaces/What a DBA can do ?

Re: Oracle shadow process
If you are on Solaris, you may be interested in NOTE: 153655.1 SOLARIS: Determing Oracle Memory Usage on Solaris. CUT Many programs which display memory usage, like top or ps -lf do not distinguish between shared and private memory and show the SGA usage in each background and shadow process. Subsequently, it may appear as though Oracle is using several times more memory than what is actually installed on the system. To properly determine how much memory Oracle is using, you must use a tool which separates private and shared memory. One such tool is /usr/proc/bin/pmap.

Re: Recovery scenario query
Sean, First of all, datafiles actually belong to a tablespace - not a schema. 1. You could place the tablespace into read-only mode, take a backup of the tablespaces datafile(s), then no additional backups are required for those datafile(s) (and you are assured that no one updates the data). 2. In general, to recover from media failure, you would have to restore the datafile from some backup, and apply all the archived redo logs since the backup.

RE: Unable to rebuild database from hot backup
Luckily I have never had this situation in production, and what I have read also suggests using the ascii file created from 'BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE' for recovery. I just had a little time on my hands and decided to give it a try. As I stated, I am by no means an expert in recovery (more like a novice), I was just stating what I observed. Maybe someone else will let us know their opinion. Thanks for your input. Rob Pegram --- Jesse, Rich [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is this recovery method valid? The loss of controlfiles is supposed to be recovered using the trace file generated from a previous BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE, isn't it? At least according to the Oracle8 Backup and Recovery class it is. The part that concerns me is that you are recovering using an ONLINE redo log (don't know if it was the active one or not). Could be the paranoid in me, but that just doesn't seem right. The admission that I don't think this is 100% true for every situation would seem to suggest that you agree that this method shouldn't be used for backup/recovery on production databases. My $.02. Rich Jesse System/Database Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quad/Tech International, Sussex, WI USA -Original Message- Sent: Friday, October 26, 2001 08:30 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Tim, You can not simply cancel a recover database using backup controlfile since Oracle is expecting you perform a complete recovery ( since your not using the UNTIL CANCEL/TIME/CHANGE ) and canceling a complete recovery leaves the stop SCN in the controlfile at infinity... Therefore, the recovery is never complete and you will always receive the needs media recovery message... I don't think this is 100% true for every situation. I am no recovery expert, but I just did this the other day, and to verify it, I ran the test again this morning. 1. Shutdown abort 2. Delete all current controlfiles 3. Replaced the binary controlfiles from last hot backup (they were copied as part of the backup script) 4. Startup mount 5. Recover database using backup controlfile 6. Kept applying logs - only trick was that the last log was an online redo log, so I had to type in that log explicitly. There I received the message Media Recover Complete. 7. Alter database open resetlogs.
