Hi All,

Further to that, it is necessary to use DBMS_SQL or native dynamic SQL for
this
as PL/SQL does not support ALTER SYSTEM directly.

Create a procedure as SYS (or someone else powerful)

RE: OT: shell script to compare nos.

2001-04-11 Thread lerobe - Lee Robertson

Why not simply do the following passing two parameters to the script eg.
call the script test.sh and call it so

test.sh 2 1

This results in output "VAR1 is greater than VAR2"

then

test.sh 1 2

this results in output "VAR2 is greater than VAR1"

Cheers.

#!/bin/ksh
VAR1=$1
VAR2=$2
if [ "$VAR1" -gt "$VAR2" ]
then
echo "VAR1 is greater than VAR2"
else
echo "VAR2 is greater than VAR1"

 Hello,

 I need some help in comparing 2 nos. in a unix shell.

 1) e.g var1="7.04.03"
and var2="7.05"

 I want to test:-

 if [ "$var2"  "$var1" ];then
then $var2 version is greater than $var1"
 fi

 2) 2nd condition is :-

 var1="7.04.03"
 var2="7.04.02"

 I want to test:-
 if [ "$var1"  "$var2" ];then
then $var1 version is greater than $var2"
 fi

 Can some one send me a code?

 How can I do the above in shell? Can you please help me, a seemingly
simple
 one!

RE: OT: shell script to compare nos.

OK then try the following

#!/bin/ksh
VAR1=$1
VAR2=$2
opersign=`echo "$VAR1 - $VAR2"|bc| cut -c1`
if [ "$opersign" = "-" ]
then
echo "VAR2 is greater than VAR1"
else
echo "VAR1 is greater than VAR2"
fi

That should definitely work.

Hi Lee,

 This script only works when the numbers to be compared are whole
numbers.  It always gives out the result "VAR2 is greater than Var1" when
the numbers are real like 7.1, 7.023, 8.6, 9.7 etc.  How to return the
correct result when the numbers are real?

 BTW which book do you refer for Korn shell scripting?  Where are you
now?  Whom are you working for?

Eh ???

I don't think there is any call for that. I told you whereabouts in the doc
set the manuals were and suggested that you look there.

I am certainly not a "Great and full of experience DBA" as you suggest but
was merely passing on what experience I do have whilst coming across a
similar problem myself a couple of years ago.

FYI, I have been an Oracle DBA for some 4-5 years now. Please bear this in
mind when you next need help/advice because it certainly won't be
forthcoming from this direction.

Not the best way to kick of your "list career" is it ?

Xing,

Have a look at the documentation, specifically, Application Developers
Guide, section dealing with "Using Procedures and Packages".

No disrespect intended but sometimes, certainly for questions such as this,
you will learn a heck of a lot more by digging around in the docs, and
reading (and working out) the answer for yourself. That is certainly my
experience. You will also fell encouraged to delve further and learn more
about other packages etc. Hope my pointer will help you.

To the rest of you - I know it would have been quicker to write down the
answer to Xings question, but what will he have learned about the general
syntax ??

RE: Errors in Oracle

2001-03-29 Thread lerobe - Lee Robertson

From the command line do oerr prefix code error number

eg

For an Oracle error

# oerr ora 1658 

01658, 0, "unable to create INITIAL extent for segment in tablespace %s"
// *Cause:  Failed to find sufficient contiguous space to allocate INITIAL/
 /  extent for segment being created.
// *Action: Use ALTER TABLESPACE ADD DATAFILE to add additional space to the

//  tablespace or retry with a smaller value for INITIAL


Hope this helps

Anyone who can give me a link to a website, where I  can see the description
of the Ora-errors I  get in sql statements and pl/sql-code, so I understand
what the error is  about and how to fix it.

Cherie,

OK, point well taken, so "silver bullet" would translate into "the one
item
that will succeed when no other does", "magic formula".  

And, no he never did say he had an OCP, but he did say he was taking a
"course"
to get his OCP.  To me having an OCP certificate without any experience is
totally meaningless.  All it tells me is that you can memorize information
and
take a test.  It does not tell me that you'll hold up in a crisis or that
you
really understand the consequences of your actions.  That experience speaks
volumes more.  Now someone with a number of years experience AND an OCP
certificate is a different matter altogether.  Consequently my question, are
new
people looking at the OCP as the gateway into a position that they could not
otherwise get?

BTW: I'm not trying to either criticize or "brow beat" Xing.  If that
impression
has been left, then I apologize.  He asked a question, similar ones I field
in
house each day, and he was given an answer that is similar to the ones I
hand
out to my developers although I'd have given him the page number too and a
whole
lot less trash than Xing has gotten from this list.  In my mind that is
sufficient to the purpose.  Now if that creates additional questions, a much
longer dissertation on the results is in order.

Dick/Lee/Joe,

I'm not trying to defend him but unless I have not yet recieved
a post in my mail, Xing never said he had an OCP.   Plus, Lee,
I think you may need to define "silver bullet".  It probably doesn't
translate for people who don't use English as a second language.

We use COMPAQ tru64 5.1 with Oracle 8.1.7. we had noticed corruption in some

all files and had to apply some O/S level patches.
We followed the instructions in the following TAR#  13320267.600. You may 
want to do a dbv on certain files to ensure there is not corruption.

Again we did not notice these problems until RMAN complained of corruption. 
And we noticed corruption in the redo logs.

   We are running Oracle 8.1.6.2.0 on a new Compaq Tru64 cluster running 5.1

patchkit 1.  We have had Oracle running for almost 2 months.  For the last 
several days, we have been experiencing severe I/O issues.  The databases 
will freeze-up and claim that they can't access certain files.  
Occassionally even 'ls' commands will lock up to, but only when accessing 
certain sub-directories of file systems.
   Naturally, we are trying to figure out what has changed in the last few 
days.  We know that the Legatto Networker client was installed, and we also 
had a UPS failure.  In an attempt to isolate the problem, we have removed 
the Legatto Networker client.  Our sysadmins are not seeing any problems at 
the hardware level.  We have completed powered the cluster down and brought 
it back up.  When the databases begin locking up, we do see error messages 
related to various file systems come across the console.  For a few days, we

thought it might be RMAN, but I haven't used it in the last 2 days and the 
problems are still occurring.
   So, my question is - are any of you folks on a Tru64 5.1 cluster and if 
so, have you seen similar problems?  The systems include 3 GS80s, an ES40, 
and a Storage Area Network for the disks.  We are not running OPS and we are

not using raw devices.

RE: how to store orace errors in database

2001-03-22 Thread lerobe - Lee Robertson

Apologies to the original author (William Rogge) of this mail for copying. I
kept this the last time it was on the list.


Regards

Lee

STARTS HERE 
===
I had time to play around and was able to accomplish this little task.  I 
hope it is of value to you.

First, I am on a UNIX platform, not WINDOWS.

I was able to use a combination of a shell script (calling sed), an awk 
script, a sql to create the table and sqlload to populate the table.

This is a long message to include all of the files/command lines, but once 
the data is in the table, quick references to the data is worthwhile.

OK, here goes.

Oracles .msg file is an odd structure.  They liked to mix apostrophes and 
quotation marks which made sqlload choke.  the general structure is as 
follows:

0, 0, "this is the error"
// *Cause:   This is the cause of the error
//   which may run onto multiple lines
// *Action: This is what the user should do to correct the problem
//  which may also run onto multiple lines.
/   Then they throw in comments like this.

There are cases where they changed their structure, like not giving a Cause 
or not giving an Action.  The awk script accounts for this.  They even 
spelled a few of the keywords wrong in places.

Step 1.  Make " to ' conversion (shell script file).
- - - beginning of file
cat $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/mesg/oraus.msg | sed "s/\"/\'/g" orig_oraus.msg
- - - end of file

The resultant file is saved for later processing.

Step 2.  Take out the comment lines and prepare to import with SQL*Loader. 
(awk script) file name do_help.awk
- - - beginning of file
BEGIN{li=0; val=0; det=0; cau=0; act=0;}
{if (substr($0,1,2) == "//")
  {if (val == 1)
{if ($0 ~ " *Cause" || $0 ~ " *Casue")
  {printf(",\n//\"");
   det=1;
   cau=1;
   for (i = 3; i = NF ; ++i)
{printf("%s ",$i)
}
  }
 else
  {if ($0 ~ " *Action")
{if (cau == 0)
  {printf(",\n//\"")
   cau=1;
  }
 printf("\",\n//\"");
 det=1;
 act=1;
 for (i = 3; i = NF ; ++i)
  {printf("%s ",$i)
  }
}
   else
{if (det == 1)
  {printf("\n//");
   for (i = 2; i = NF ; ++i)
{if (i2)
  {printf(" %s",$i)
  }
 else
  {printf("%s",$i)

The execution command is:

I will state, that due to Oracle's inconsistencies, you will most likely 
get some bad records.  The ones I encountered was because Oracle had miss 
coded some of the 23xxx error numbers by having a '// ' at the beginning of 
the error number record.  After editing these, and rerunning the awk and 
sqlload, I was able to get 100% import.

Like a sugary candy which is extremely hard, you do have candy canes in the

Sort of thicker, straighter version and normally minty in the UK - very
popular at Seaside resorts where the sweet is manufactured with the name of
the resort printed all the way through the middle. Oh God - this is sounding

Speaking of sugar...

I just returned from Trinidad (on a mission trip to build a church in 
Toco).
While working in the 95 degree sun all day we often walked up to the corner
store and bought water and cokes (the coca cola was much sweeter there than
in the US, but also less carbonated).  What we also found was a product
called Lucozade (http://www.lucozade.com/).  This was a sport drink
essentially made of glucose syrup.  From their website - "When you drink 
it,
the glucose gets rapidly absorbed into your bloodstream and gives you a
quick burst of energy.  Glucose is the natural preferred fuel for the body
becuase of the speed with which it can be digested and absorbed.  Once
absorbed it is a readily available source of fuel, whic all cells of the
body can utilise."

Official drink of on-call DBAs.

  Kimberley,
 
  I'd be surprised if you can get "real" raw sugar in stores.
 
  When I was in the U.S. Peace Corps in Belize in the mid
  '70s, raw sugar was readily available, since sugar was a
  primary export from that beautiful little country.  If you
  let a couple of pounds of raw sugar sit in a brown paper bag
  for a day or two, the molasses would settle to the bottom
  and puddle - a jar, shaken occasionally, was a better
  storage option.
 
  It was delicious!  There's nothing quite like a peanut
  butter and raw sugar sandwich!  Ironically, the Belizians
  preferred refined, white sugar, since it was considered more
  "upscale" than the raw sugar.
 
  BTW, other advantages to living in a sugar-exporting country
  included very cheap soft drinks and rum!...Oh, and Reggae!

Speaking as a neutral (English), I like both countries just fine and each
has its good (and bad) points.

Thoroughly enjoyed all of my trips over there (in fact, we have holidayed
nowhere else since 1992) and the thing I like best was depending on where
you go (in the same country), outlooks on life, habits and cultures seem to
be as diverse as that between some countries.

Been to British Columbia (x2) and Alberta in Canada
Maine, Florida, Washington(x2), Hawaii(x2), California, Nevada and Arizona
in the States.

Out of the few places I have been to, I vote Vancouver No 1. I took a lot
into consideration here but found it to be the place on top of all other
things, where I would consider actually living and putting down roots
(Honolulu was fantastic however !!). My wife wanted to live in Victoria on
the Island, very pretty but a little sleepy for my liking.

I've still got a hell of a lot to see and do (so little time and money).

Typical, a hotmail account spouting off what they know nothing
about.

Fact:  The longest undefended border in the world is between Canada
   and the US. (  7000 miles)

Granted this reflects better on the US than Canada, as we could put
the whole Canadian population along the border and still couldn't hold
hands.

Question:
   Name any other state that has lived peacefully beside it's
   neighbour with 1/10 of the population for almost 200 years?

   Russia and the Ukraine? China and Tibet? Germany and Denmark?

It is almost 200 years because one of the defining moments of
Canadian history is the War of 1812.

   Canadian Geopolitical Summary:
   We kicked America's butt.
   American Geopolitical Summary:
   We kicked Britains butt.
   British Geopolitical Summary:
   We kicked Napoleons butt.

Pierre Berton's "War of 1812" and "Flames Across the Border" provide
a slightly biased but relatively fair view of this conflict from the
Canadian viewpoint. There are no similar British or American texts
because the Canadian theatre was a very minor and trivial part of
this conflict.

Canadian Patriotism On
Please note that this is the only war America has ever lost. To a
bunch of meek and mild Canadians...
/CanPat

The truth is that the largest force in Canada at the time was
the British army.

Typically Canadian, one of our nation building moments hardly involved
us.

I am proud to be Canadian, I am proud to be best friends with America.
Thank you, America for being our friend.

Does Canada have problems, you bet. Does America have problems, more
than us
the poor fellows.

We do not follow America, we guide it, help it, support it and party
with it.

And if the rest of the world was as reasonable as they are, Canada could
help
them too. ( Apologies to the citizens of many states I have slandered
with
the above comment )

Before you comment on cultures you have not experienced it would be
advisable
to at least visit there as a tourist. If you work there for a while you
may even
realize that what is "common knowledge" is wrong. After spending six
weeks in
Moscow, 2 years ago, I do not believe anything I read in the media (it
is both
better and worse than it is reported).

And yes, there is a separate Canadian culture. (Part of which is
wondering if
we have a separate culture.)

Check out http://www.jobnet.com.au for jobs.

There is a reasonable demand. As far as visas are concerned, your options
are either to get a tourist visa, a working holiday visa, a temporary
business stay visa or apply for permanent residency (or marry a citizen!).
Details can be found at http://www.immi.gov.au/

If you are confident in your skills and happy to go contracting, then one
medium-risk option would be to come here as a tourist , have a bit of a
holiday and then contact a management company. They can take a look at your
CV and if they are happy that you can work, they will sponsor you for a
business visa (up to 4 years). You will then work as a contractor through
agencies, paying a small percentage to the management company.

Obviously this advice is informal.

 What's the job market like for Oracle DBAs in Australia (Queensland and
 NSW)? Is demand being satisfied mostly with local talent? I've heard
 that's the case for much of the IT market there.

 Would it be difficult for an American Oracle DBA to secure a work visa
 in Australia or Asia? Any demand for English-speaking Oracle DBAs in
 Asia? I've heard English-speaking techs are in high-demand over in
 Asia, but where specifically and doing what specifically I don't know
 (possibly technical training conducted in English, or English for
 programmers/engineers/techs; or technical writing).

 How would a person go about finding these jobs? Any companies hiring
 around Boston that would send Oracle DBAs on overseas assignments?


 Thanks very much.

Hi Dick

My company is currently looking to hire a full-time Senior Oracle DBA with 
technical, and some functional, experience supporting Oracle Financial 
apps.  

Ideally, we're hoping to find someone who has been through a few  backend 
and application upgrades because we need to begin immediately.   

The initial project involves upgrading from Oracle 7x to 8i on the RDBMS 
side then phasing out 10.7 smart client and moving  to Oracle 11i / 
11.5.2.  We're also hoping to phase out  many of the customizations that 
have been made to the financial modules such as HR, OM, GL, AR, AP and 
Payroll.

We're located in the Glendale/Pasadena area which is a great place to 
live.

If you or somebody you know is interested in becoming part of our Oracle 
team, send me a resume.  If you're not interested in this job or don't 
want to be bothered, send me an email and let me know. 

Thanks,

Michael Green

RE: Unix Cron job help

2001-02-27 Thread lerobe - Lee Robertson

You could set up a marker file at the end of job A.

ie

if [ 'successful' ] # insert what ever code you would do to check this.

then
touch job_ok
else

'more code if failure'
fi

# End of script.

When job B kicks in just test for existence of file job_ok before backing up
to tape. At the end of job B (or start of job A) delete the file. Personally
I have the hot backup and the save to tape all in one script, I don't split
the actions.

Dear Lister:

I have two cron jobs which run at 10:30 PM  2:00 AM, job A performed a DB 
hot backup and job B will put those backup files into tapes. The problem is 
job B is based on the success completion of job A. How can I write the unix 
script for job B to do this check ? Please help.

RE: Speed up import of a 10gb table with a long_raw datatype

2001-02-21 Thread lerobe - Lee Robertson

Single stream import. I have noticed significant gains in the past when
using this but to be honest I haven't yet used it on an Oracle 8 database
(someone else out there may be able to say if it still performs).

Go to $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib and type

make -f ins_rdbms.mk impst

if this doesn't work ( as it didn't for me) with errors on 

"Can't locate file for: -lndw1"

do the following

make -f ins_rdbms.mk impst LLIBOWSUTL=""

Move the executable into $ORACLE_HOME/bin and use as per the imp command.

This also works for export, merely substitute all occurences of impst above
with expst.

Hope this helps.

RE: FW: [ Danone ] - Hung Oracle Query

2001-02-14 Thread lerobe - Lee Robertson

Thanks for the responses from you guys. I went back to our developer with
your suggestions and he said, wait for this one !!!

Oh I did select from all the tables in the query, I just chopped them out
when I passed it onto you as I didn't think it was necessary. 

Original problem was ...
Since the database was bounced Thursday morning I have a query which no
 longer runs - it just hangs.  If I take out the join to X_CITY it works
 fine.  I haven't changed any indexes and all the indexes are correct.
 Any ideas ?

Real SQL is as follows.

SELECT  i.surname, 
i.forename, 
a.address_line_1, 
a.address_line_2, 
a.address_line_3, 
a.address_line_4, 
a.postcode, 
c.city_desc, 
cp.phone_number, 
ce.email_address, 
i.date_of_birth, 
i.gender_code, 
i.ind_is_child, 
i.date_of_birth_calc_code, 
i.individual_id, 
h.household_id

Why do you even have the tables consumer_phone and consumer_email 
included in the query?  Obviously you don't care if they have entries in
them, and you're not selecting any info out of them.  Remove them and see
what happens.

Can someone have alook at the problem below please and advise. I am stumped.
