RE: oracle installation problem

2002-07-01 Thread Theodoros Demosthenous

You have successfully install the software, but it fails during database creation.

Finish your installation without creating a database, and perform the following steps:
1. Run Database wizard to create a database.
2. At the end of the Database Wizard choose the option to have the files created into 
an empty directory.
3. Make sure that the parameter file is located at the correct directory, or start the 
instance NOMOUNT with the pfile option.
4. From there onwards you can proceed with the database creation.

You can edit the .bat file that is created with the database wizard, and run the 
commands line by line if the above is not the solution, in order to find where the 
problem lies.

Check that you have the right path for it. Also check that you have the
directory created - Oracle does not create one for you.

RE: 9i R2 not automatically starting up after upgrade

2002-06-14 Thread Theodoros Demosthenous

Are you using a domain to connect to your PC.

You should go into services and OracleServiceSID --- Properties. In the Log On tab 
go and choose log on as this account and choose your username and password that you 
are connecting to the domain.

Stop and restart the service, and check that the memory is reserved for the instance.

I upgraded a database yesterday from 9i R1 (9.0.1) to 9i R2 (9.2.0.1.0), and am now 
having problems with the database starting up automatically on system reboot.  This is 
on a Windows 2000 Pro machine.  The error that I get when I try to connect with 
SQL*Plus is ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist.  If I run SQL*Plus with 
the /nolog option, connect / as sysdba, and startup manually, everything works fine.  
Anyone have any idea why it won't startup automatically, or what I could try to get it 
to?  Thanks.

RE: 9i R2 not automatically starting up after upgrade

The parameter to look in the registry is

ORA_ORA9I_PFILE

and points to the parameter file.

Make sure that it is located there.

Check whether the service finds your initsid.ora file.

The parameter in the registry might point to a different location for the service.

You can find the parameter file and copy paste it to the location that the service is 
looking for it.

I hope that this will help.

I tried that...didn't fix the problem.  The service actually starts without any 
problems, but for some reason, starting the service doesn't actually start the 
database.  I have to actually login to SQL*Plus in /nolog mode, connect / as sysdba 
and then do a startup manually to get the database running.  Thanks though.

FW: Can we drop and re-create tablespace without deleting the corresponding datafile thru operating system command?

corresponding datafile thru operating system command?


Sorry for the delay, but this is to our time difference. Please find a more detailed 
explanation below:

Dropping Datafiles and Tempfiles

Unlike files that are not Oracle managed, when an Oracle-managed datafile or tempfile 
is dropped, the filename is removed from the control file and the file is 
automatically deleted from the file system. The statements that delete Oracle-managed 
files when they are dropped are:

DROP TABLESPACE 
ALTER DATABASE TEMPFILE ... DROP
 
Dropping Online Redo Log Files

When an Oracle-managed online redo log file is dropped its Oracle-managed files are 
deleted. You specify the group or members to be dropped. The following statements drop 
and delete online redo log files:

ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE 
ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE MEMBER 

In Oracle9i Rel.2 you can use the following:

AND DATAFILES clause

When you specify INCLUDING CONTENTS, the AND DATAFILES clause lets you instruct Oracle 
to delete the associated operating system files as well. Oracle writes a message to 
the alert log for each operating system file deleted. This clause is not needed for 
Oracle-managed files.

The following example drops the tbs_02 tablespace and deletes all associated operating 
system datafiles:

DROP TABLESPACE tbs_02
   INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES;


I hope that this was more helpful.

Theodoros

Dear Mr Theo,

Thanks for your enclosed mail. You mean to say if it
is some earlier version, then we need to drop the
tablespace, delete corresponding dbf file thru
operating system command and recreate the tablespace 
the corresponding dbf datafile thru create tablespace
command?

Please elaborate.
