Re: function index for like '%string%'

2001-06-01 Thread SuzyV


How unpleasant, the answer I expected but didn't want to hear.  At points of
loopy desperation I've tried dumbest things to make this work, eg., creating the
index as lower('%email_addy%') which produces the expected useless result in
dba_ind_expressions:

SQL create index idx_test
on test (lower('%email_addy%') ;

SQL select index_name, column_expression from dba_ind_expressions 
where table_name = 'TEST'

INDEX_NAME   COLUMN_EXPRESSION
--   -
IDX_TEST '%email_addy%'


My suggested workaround to the developers is to store the string lower case. 
For some strings this is okay, but obviously not a great solution for strings
which may be case-dependent.  

fbi = f**ing boneheaded index :)

  I've created a function index for lower(column_name).  However the query
  does
  a like comparison rather than equality so the index isn't used.  Is there a
  way to create a function index for this?
  
  Here's the index and query:
  
  create index fx1_auth_users
  on auth_users (lower(current_email)
  tablespace app01_midx ;
  
  select current_email from auth_users
  where lower(current_email) like '%datsit.com%' ;
  
  Thanks much,

Re: LDAP/OID

2001-06-01 Thread SuzyV


Four years ago, I worked on a project to publish employee/people data sourced in
Oracle to Netscape LDAP.  We first mapped our relational data to V3
objectclasses  attributes, and defined our own objectclasses  attributes as
needed.  Then we created a table that held: primary_key table_name
transaction_type transaction_date ldap_update_status.  Change events were logged
to this table using triggers, and a PERL script generated LDIF changes based on
events in this table.  PERL used DBD/DBI to Oracle, and CL utilities
ldapsearch/ldapmodify to LDAP.  Not exactly elegant, but for a low-volume
transaction database (approx 6000 changes per day) it worked well.  We did this
back when LDAP was relatively new, and we had experience with X500 so it was
considered a huge improvement.

Oracle remained the data source for employee/people published to LDAP, and LDAP
was the data source for other data like passwords, certificates and
preferences.  LDAP served the needs of 70,000+ employees who used it for
directory lookups, password  certificate authentication, e-mail and calendar
prefs, group lists, etc.  We also integrated LDAP authentication and access
control for hundreds of web-based applications.  

LDAP is definately worthwhile, good planning on schema design is must.  Haven't
done anything yet with OID except install and look at it.

Re: Order of columns in a table

2001-05-10 Thread SuzyV


select table_name, column_name from dba_tab_columns
where table_name = 'SOMETABLE' order by column_id ;

The column order is the same as you'd see with describe or select *  

You can eliminate VALUES from insert when inserting a value (or null) for each
column and in the proper order.

Re: Tracking JDBC clients in V$SESSION

2001-04-26 Thread SuzyV


On Unix I run 'netstat -a', count the number of SQLNet connections per remote host, 
then
compare that with the number of connections per username in v$session.  With that you 
can
kinda deduce what hosts are connected to what username.  Maybe there is a better way...

 So, there I am, trying to find out what client a connection to an 8.1.7 DB
 on Solaris is coming from.  Naturally, I SELECT USERNAME, MACHINE, TERMINAL
 FROM V$SESSION;  Lo and behold, there is a generic login for the username,
 column MACHINE in all rows contains jdbcclient and TERMINAL contains
 unknown.  With SQLNet and Net8 these two columns are populated as one
 would expect.  Also, the OSUSER column is generic, so I'm not able to use
 that info.
 
 Never having used JDBC (yet), is there a setting in the JDBC client to set
 these?  More importantly, if there is, WHY would there be such a setting?
 And how am I supposed to track this down, aside from SHUTDOWN ABORT (ick)?
 
 TIA,

Re: Meeting at IOUG

Margaritas?  I'm there :)

 Glad to see so many people wanting to get together. I would like to
 propose a time and place...
 
 Tuesday night is the "big bash", and Wednesday night is a "Pleasure
 Island" event. There is a Monday night welcome reception in the exhibit
 hall until 7:45.
 
 So, I think the best time is Monday at 8pm, somewhere in the Swan
 and Dolphin complex (not knowing the Orlando area personally).
 http://www.swandolphin.com/restaur.htm lists the 15 restaurants (with 3D
 views). My vote is Juan  Only's - "A perfect place to enjoy moderately
 priced southwestern cuisine. Stop by the bar for the best margaritas in
 town! Open for dinner." for its bar and not super-loud setting so we can
 talk.

  Keep this thread going.

  don't know that any meeting has been scheduled, I do know that a number of
  the members of the list are presenting and I intend to be at most of those
  sessions :)
 
  on the other hand, Gaja's sessions tend to draw EVERYONE so you can be sure
  of meeting others on the list there
