RE: Veritas Backup Question
If you have the room, I would suggest doing a daily export of the database until you get all the problems ironed out with Netbackup. Especially if you are trying to do incremental backups. That way you will at least have something to restore with if you find out your Netbackup plan wasn't working. Also, don't trust any backup plan until you have backed it up every which way AND restored it using the backups. I export every day and then run the export through WinZip to save space. I keep the export around for at least a week. Good Luck! R. Smith -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 11:50 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Teresita, You've gotten some good comments...even a quick tutorial on backups. My recommendation to you (especially if you don't have any backups at all) is that until you're more familiar with the tools you have that you should initially avoid the complexities of incremental backups and immediately arrange for a regular cold (database down) backup. Minimally this should include all datafiles, control files, online redologs, and archived redologs (you didn't say whether or not you are in archivelog mode). But don't stop with these files. Check documentation CD. It will have a section on backup and recovery.

Export / Import Question
I have a user who want to refresh only the DATA in a test database with DATA from the production database. He does not want to replace any procedures, functions, triggers, etc... My question is, if I do a full or user level export, then turn around and do a full or user level import with IGNORE=Y (after truncating the tables) will the procedures, functions, triggers be replaced anyway? I have a feeling they will. If so, is there any way to prevent this? Thanks! R Smith -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Smith, Ron L.

My preference is that the developers be creating scripts to make their procedure, function, trigger changes, along with detailed instructions for installing them. I make my counteroffer that I will recover a copy of the production database from backup from them. Then they can run their scripts just like they or I am going to in production. On the other hand, if you have a lot of time on your hands, the challenge of just refreshing the data, disabling/reenabling constraints may amuse you for an afternoon. Just kidding, sort of.

How to refresh
I need to do a refresh of a test database using production data. We use import for this. In the past we have always dropped the schemas (4 or 5), recreated the schemas, and then did a full import with ignore=n. This time the user does not want to lose any of the new functions and procedures that are in test, but not in prod. Instead, they would like to just refresh the table data. Last time we tried this we had all kinds of trouble with functions, triggers, constraints, etc... and ended up doing a full import. Is there a tried and true way to just refresh the table data without losing anything else and without having all the problems with triggers and constraints? Thanks!

The following statement will delete all files older than 5 days:

To test it, change the name of the file name and change the 'rm' to

It should just list the files older than 5 days. That way you know it

Stop using SYS, SYSTEM?
We are being asked by Auditing to stop using the SYS, and SYSTEM accounts. They would like for us to create an Oracle Role with the same permissions a SYS and SYSTEM, then grant the role to each of the DBA's. Don't ask me why. Nothing is being audited in 99% of the databases. They just say it in a paper some where so they said we shouldn't use it. This seems like it would cause lots of problems with exports, imports, installs, etc... Has anyone had to deal with this type of request? Any potential problems with making the change? Thanks!

RE: Stop using SYS, SYSTEM?
Where we work, there is one DBA responsible for each database. Each DBA is responsible for dozens of databases, servers, and applications. The only time another DBA is in one of my databases is when I am out of the office and can't get to a phone line or network connection. We never use SYS but it was included in the audit so I included it in the question. We still have to use SYS and SYSTEM for database creates, full exports, imports, etc...The only thing I can see creating a dummy SYSTEM account would do is to add one more userid and dozens of new passwords to the database and more work for an already short handed staff.

Ron Smith Ron, When you clone a database, you start with : 1) changing db_name in the init.ora file and most paths 2) defining a new ORACLE_SID and renaming init.ora accordingly 3) starting the instance without mounting it - your init.ora file is opened and read. Where do you want anything to interact (badly) with an existing database? You have allocated some shared memory, have started a few processes and read a file. Big deal.

ROW_ID Hint
I have a vendor application that is running slow. I looked at the code through a product called SQLab and found that most of the code has a ROW_ID hint coded in it. My understanding is that this hint will prevent the code from using indexes even though the tables and indexes are analyzed. I modified the Oracle startup parameters to use optimizer mode = FIRST_ROWS which favors indexes. Now when I run the application the response time is much better. I am thinking this may be a good fix but is there any kind of program logic I could be screwing up by using FIRST_ROWS? Thanks!

RE: Move selected tables
Thanks for all the info and various ways to handle this. I was kinda hoping there was a magic tables=( abc_% ) parameter for export that I didn't know about. I think I'll use the SQL generating SQL idea. Sounds like the quickest way. Thanks again! Ron -Original Message- Sent: Monday, August 04, 2003 12:04 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L You've gotten several suggestions for how to move the data - let me mention some of the caveats. We went from one big shared schema to several smaller schemas, which is what led to issue 3 below. If that's not what you're doing, you may not have this problem. We've done some of this, and here are some of the issues we've run into. 1) make sure your referential integrity is maintained. If you are moving a parent or child table, you'll have to drop and recreate any foreign keys. export/import makes this somewhat easier than 'create as select *', but not trivial. It's easier if you move both parents and children in the same export set (assuming they're all being moved). 2) make sure the data doesn't change while you're moving the tables. What we've done in some cases is open an SQLPlus window, lock the tables, then do the export/import in a different shell. 3) make sure any code finds the correct tables. We've created private synonyms for the tables in the new locations as an interim solution. There is a little overhead associated with resolving synonyms while parsing queries but it doesn't seem to be a problem for us. The down side is that there is not much incentive for developers to point to the correct tables, and there's no good way to keep someone from referring to the old schema when they should be using the new schema. Some on this list will say this is a matter of DBA discipline: at any rate it is a matter of management discipline, and the DBA's ability to do anything about it depends on how much control they have over introduction of new code.

RE: HELP! Index Debate!
Thank you very much for the detailed info! Ron -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 5:09 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Provided we are talking cost based optimizer, then the order of the predicates in the where clause does not matter - except under very rare conditions to break a tie. Nor is the order of the predicates in the where clause related to the order of the columns in the index. The only thing that matters is which columns of the index are present in the where clause and what is their relative position in the index. It's probably best explained with an example: index on c1, c2, c3, c4, ... where clause: c1 = ... and c2 = ... index can be used c2 = ... and c1 = ... index can be used c1 = ... and c3 = ... index can be used, but only c1 = portion of index since c2 is not in a predicate, here an index on c1, c3, c2, ... would be better, then both c1= and c3= can be used. c2 = ... and ...index can not be used (not until Oracle 9); but index on c2, ... could be used c1 = ... and c2 = ... and c3 ... and c4 = index can be used, but only the c1=, c2= and c3 portion since the inequality breaks the chain; an index on c1, c2, c4, c3 (or c2, c1, c4, c3 or c4, c1, c2, c3 etc ) could use all predicates on the index. as long as the leading columns are present in the where clause with an equal predicate, the index can be used. The first omission or non-equal predicate breaks the chain and only the part of the index up to that column can be used. Oracle is built around composite (or compound) indexes. Except for bitmap indexes it does not easily use more than one index for the same table access. The optimizer is slowly learning to use more than one index, but it's still rare. And yes, you can determine how many and which predicates are used for the index access, but you need to run a CBO trace to find out.

I asked this last week, but I have a little more info this week. I have a table that gets programmatically loaded each night. The table needs to have an index added for reporting purposes. However, when I add the index to the table in the TEST database I start getting Snapshot Too Old errors. I added 25% more space to the RBS tablespace but it didn't do any good. I also tried reducing the frequency of commits as suggested in Oracle papers but I still get the same error. If I remove the index, the load works fine. Any ideas? Thanks!

RE: Skill Sets - This may be a dumb question
Title: Message We are told pretty often by management that DBA's are 'dime a dozen' and we need to be more than 'just DBA's' to keep our jobs. On the other hand we are hiring contractors that know Peoplesoft Adminand paying them big bucks. Same with Data Warehouse people. They are in demand.

I was responsible for the completely messed up Peoplesoft Oracle/AIX environment but management here decided that it was more important to separate a husband and wife that both work in the same department, and assigned one of them to be primary support in this environment instead of me. (sshh: The new person who is primary doesn't know a thing about Unix.) My primary job is now suppossed to be data modeling and data warehouse/mart design, moving on into Problematica (er, Informatica) development into a Sql Server database. I will not be the admin on the Sql Server database. My new boss referred to this as "database architecture". ?? What? They have already decided what they want done and just want someone to take the pretty pictures and implement them with unrealistic deadlines. The main reason why I am upset is because it seems to me that data modeling is such a "soft" skill. I am concerned about keeping my skills up to date and keeping my hands in an Oracle environment, whether it's a mess or not. Seems to me that data modeling alone isn't something that can land you a new job or really spiff up your resume. I think that having a finite list of skills (Oracle, Unix, Windows 2000, Erwin, Project, crap like that) is more what employers search for, and is what HR depts can easily deal with. Am I wrong? This job pays well and working for a huge company has it's benefits, if you can deal with the bureaucracy similar to what is described in the 1st paragraph.

RE: Database Verification
I would do all three. A good backup stategy is only good if you read all your data all the time. You can have corrupt data that doesn't get read and doesn't cause a problem for weeks, month, years. By that time you have no backup that does not contain corrupt data. Export to a null file to speed things up a little, just keep the log file. DBVerify is very useful. R.Smith -Original Message- Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 7:59 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I am considering the appropriate way to do database corruption prevention. Should I use one or more of the following as a proactive measure ? a) Export b) DBVerify c) Analyze table table_name validate structure cascade Any advice ? Thanks, PH Pui Ho, The only way you can be 'proactive' concerning corruption is to have a sound backup strategy - if you really feel nervous about your hardware, first change it, and then use archive logging and the rest; export is a bad solution, because it will be long to restore. By definition, a corruption doesn't give any warning (it's even worth than earthquakes). If you want to be very reactive, set something to regularly scan your alert.log file.

Where's that last archive log?
We do disaster recovery tests from time to time with a limited set of backups. We make an educated quess as to the time to recover but it doesn't always work. If I give Oracle a point in time to recover and then run out of archive logs how do I tell Oracle that that's all I have and recover with what is available? I have tried recover until cancel but Oracle always seems to need another archive log. It usually says the System file needs to be recovered. If I have all the archive logs it works fine.

Ron -Original Message- [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 1:55 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Task Ron, Saw your memo and fooled around with Task Scheduler a bit. All it is is Windows Explorer pointed at the Scheduled Tasks folder in Control Panel. To back up your Scheduled Tasks, simply single click on one or more of them (or use the Edit / Select All menu item, then de-select Add Scheduled Task), then choose the Edit / Copy To Folder menu item. A single *.job file is created for each Scheduled Task in the target folder. You can then copy those files into another Server's or PC's Scheduled Tasks folder in Control Panel. Those copied-in Scheduled Tasks then appear in the target's Task Scheduler with all their info. Glad you brought this up, since we have a Win2k server with LOTS of Scheduled Tasks. Now I know how to back them up. I just now followed the above procedure and now have all the Scheduled Tasks from that server in my own Task Scheduler on my PC. Jack C.

It worked fine except that it used a lot of tape dumping a raw device when only a small portion was used. Using a dd command to place a copy of the data on tape should not be a problem if a restoral is needed. The dd function is just another OS method of copying data to a tape.

RE: Performance monitoring
Right On! -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 4:18 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L The ten most important performance items to monitor are your ten most important business transactions. Period, end of story. If you want to provide an intelligent response, monitor how long they take and provide a weekly report, noting any changes. Ratios and wait events are just diagnostic tools -- when business transactions become slow you use them to find where the problem is. Anyone who asks you to monitor ten internal things, such as ratios or wait events, and no more than just ten because they only want the ten most important, is simply uneducated and unexperienced, since these things are of no importantance if the system is running fast enough for the users, and besides there are way more than ten important things like this. However, they may also be very smart, since a good manager may be wise to start by getting a handle on the ten most important things. Probably, you want to be taking statspack snapshots every hour just to have a baseline, so just DO THAT and give the statspack report to the manager once a week -- and make them happy by picking out ten items you consider important and running a yellow highlighter over them. Have a cover page that compares the current value of the ten items with the same items four weeks ago -- so you are monitoring them. That's fast, easy and smart, it makes your manager happy and you'll have your eye on the ball too. But don't forget that the most important thing to monitor is reality. Your coolest move is to have the manager pull the users into a meeting and get them to identify the ten business transactions that are most important to them. Find out if any are too slow.

RE: quckways to find block corruption
Beware, we had a corrupt block in an index. Big deal you say!? Every time the client used the index the database would crash! Not good. We now do exports, and dbverify. But they don't catch bad index blocks. We also learned to check the alertlog a couple of times a day. R. Smith -Original Message- Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 4:48 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L FWIW I like to do full exports in the middle of the night just for this reason as a hot backup wont cut it. If you find a corrupt block you can fix it using either a PL/SQL or PRO*C rountine that can be found on Metalink. Search for corrupt blocks.
