 Hi,
 
 Okay. I'm almost a believer of this as a problem. How
 about 9.2.0.4 on RH9.3.
 
 1) What does anyone/everyone get for my this query (my
 results shown):
 
 connect system/[EMAIL PROTECTED];
 alter user scott identified by tiger;
 --
 select password
 from dba_users
 where username = 'SCOTT';
 
 PASSWORD
 
 F894844C34402B67
 
 2) If you all get the same, then I'm concerned.
 
 Regards,
 
 Mike Thomas

  I see you log out and log back in as SYSTEM to DB2.
  But how do you know the

  What if you don't log out? When I tried that (i.e.
  not logging out), I got
  ORA-1017.

Re: ** can two processes use the same rollback extent

2003-12-02 Thread rahul sharma



i can answer the first part of your 
question..
YES, two transactions can write on the same extent 
of an RBS, i think the restriction is at the block level, 
this was true until 8i, might have changed in 9

  same rollback extent 
  
  
  
Hi,
 One rollback segment can be used by multiple 
transactions/processes but what about the extents? Is it safe to assume that 
only one transaction/process can use one extent? What is a good way to size 
the extent for warehousing tasks? Or guess the rollback generated and size 
needed.

Brad, we are running advance security, and we authenticate user from an

 Correct me if I am wrong but if you use some type of secure authentication
 method I believe you have to have Oracle Advanced Security option
 installed...

 If you are expecting to simply flip from switches in sqlnet.ora and have
 secure external authentication you might be in for more surprises than
what
 any marketing hype may have told you.

 The last time I looked into external authentication it got ugly very
 quickly.

 the bug no. is correct, it relates to

 forms 6i (running on web) is not able to connect to the DB when using ASO,
 and third party authentication (securID)

 we have configured sucureID authentication for our DB, but out back office
 app using forms6i does not connect to the DB when this is configured..
when
 i remark the lines in sqlnet.ora, it can connect.

 there is so little information regarding using web forms, and third party

the bug no. is correct, it relates to 

forms 6i (running on web) is not able to connect to the DB when using ASO, 
and third party authentication (securID) 

we have configured sucureID authentication for our DB, but out back office 
app using forms6i does not connect to the DB when this is configured.. when 
i remark the lines in sqlnet.ora, it can connect.

there is so little information regarding using web forms, and third party

using JDBC-OCI from JSP, authenticating using RSA

2003-11-05 Thread rahul sharma
Dear all, a few days ago i posted a query regarding the JDBC-THIN driver
using RSA authentication,
a the RSA uses sql*net paramters, and the jdbc-thin would directly connect
to the db using listener,
it was not possible to use RSA.

now we plan to change the setup to use JDBC-OCI driver to connect to oracle,
as i understand JSP pages
will be executing on the app server, which in turn would connect to the db
server.

as we will not be using an applet , no dirvers wil be downloaded to the
client, all connectivity will be from the middle tier
where the JSP pages are executed.

Am i correct in assuming the above ? if anyone on this list has experience
using jdbc-oci, please help me on this

connection using secureID tokens and JDBC thin

2003-11-03 Thread rahul sharma



dear list, 

The setup:
 app server 9ias 
1.0.2.2.2a
 db server 9i R2.

The application
 Our app connects to the DB using 
JDBC thin, a simple app showing fields and inserting data into
 underlying tables.

The problem
 All was working fine, then the 
management asked us to use RSA/ACE security using Token cards,
we have implemented 
everything and all works fine, we CAN connect from the IAS to the DB using 
sql*plus
and providing the 
passcode, BUT out application (using JDBC thin)is not able to connect 
!!!
 "invalid username or 
password"!!! we have another back office app connecting to the DB 
using web forms 6i,  
 which also has the same problem 
after we setup secureID. 

 again, we have no prolems 
connecting from SQL*PLUS using secureID passcodes

please advise

use of TEMP tables to re-query HTML form fields

2003-10-10 Thread rahul
list,

this might not be the appropriate forum for this question, but it's friday 
night and i have to come up with some solution...

we have developed an application using java script to display a form, which 
the users will fill in , this form is submitted using JDBC THIS to oracle 
database (using 9iAS). we have back and forward buttons on this form, the 
form appears in 3 pages !!

the problem:
after the user fills in the first page, he/she will click next and the 
2nd page would load, there a button back on the second page to go back to 
the 1st page, NOW if the user has filled in values in the second page and 
he navigates to the 1st page, and again goes forward by clicking next 
button the form, the 2nd page apprears blank !! all the earlier filled in 
values are lost !! , ok , this is the expected default behaviour , how can 
we make the values re-apprear on the second page ?? 

the solution: 
use of TEMP tables, we use temp table to hold the values, each tikme the 
user clicks next page we save the values to the temp table, and re-query 
to fill in the fields if the user comes back to the same page ..

is my approach correct ??? is there another easier way to do this??

TIA

db security, managed from application forms

2003-08-30 Thread rahul
List, after reading so much about managing the srcurity from the db users, 
roles and privileges, i have finally decided to do the same. I have figured 
out most of the things...

1. i have made a form interface to create role and grant privileges to 
roles. all the data goes to app tables, and then DB roles are created and 
grants given which matches the data entered. I have a routine which syncs 
the role/privs in the app tables to the db roles and privs. 

2. another form provides interface to create users and grant roles to 
users. 

3. then i have a MMB menu attached to a form which is executed.

the user will login, and will be displayed a menu based on the role given 
to the user. this is where i'm not sure how would i handle it, something 
like... on-new-form-instance i would check the role name from the 
session_roles, and would have a table which would tell me which menu option 
has to be enabled with this role. am i going the right way ?? 

the forms will be run on the web, so i guess i cannot store them in the db, 
and cant use the menu roles facility.

i have done a lot of work on this.. but cant figure out the role and form 
module to run...i dont want to go back to one app user accessing the db, 
and application managed seurity 

would appreciate any help.

TIA

column level privilege - resolved

2003-08-26 Thread rahul
Arun, thanks for suggesting this, this is what i did.

1. created a table to store table names associated column names
and a security level for a that column

EMP emp_name 3
EMP emp_sal  5

2. then i granted every users a security level also,

3. then i created a view on the name table

select decode(sec_func('EMP','EMP_NAME'),1,emp_name,'x' emp_name),
decode(sec_func('EMP','EMP_SAL'),1,emp_sal,0 emp_sal)

the sec_func is passed table name and the column name and it checks the
security_level of that column againet the security level of the user 
quering the table. if the security level is equal or lower, then 1 is 
returned, else 0 is returned, and the decode in the view will do the rest

this way i can show/hide columns based on the security level (or roles 
granted to users) ... 

ok, i have only tested it, not implemented it, will it work in a real 
application environment ? has anyone used this type of column privs ? 

-TIA

 Rahul,
 
 I'm not sure if this is too late; but here is a strategy you could follow 
to achieve what you want. True, VPD does not have a mechanism to suppress 
columns; and using a view for each user is impractical. Someday, I hope, 
VPD will have that capability; but until then you could try the following. 
 
 Suppose you have a table called SAVINGS, for savings account holders as 
follows:
 
 ACCTNO NUMBER
 CLEARED_BALANCENUMBER
 UNCLEARED_BALANCE  NUMBER
 
 The records in the table are as follows:
 
 ACCTNO CLEARED_BALANCE UNCLEARED_BALANCE
 -- --- -
  11000  1100
  21100  1200
  31300  1500
 
 Cleared balance is the amount the the customer can draw from the bank. If 
there are checks outstanding, the balance is shown in uncleared. Let's 
start with a simple example - you have users who are allowed to see the 
uncleared balance of the customers and the others are not. Intead of hiding 
the column completely, which how VPD operates, you would want to show then 
as zero, if not authorized to see that; otherwise the actual value is shown.
 
 You would create a context as follows:
 
 create context sec_ctx using sec_ctx_pkg;
 
 The trusted function can be created as:
 
  create procedure sec_ctx_pkg
  (
  p_attribute_name in varchar2,
  p_attribute_value in varchar2
  ) is
  begin
  dbms_session.set_context(
 'sec_ctx',
  p_attribute_name,
  p_attribute_value);
  end;
  /
 
 In the after-login trigger, you would set the context value automatically 
for user using 
 
 set_Ctx_pkg ('cleared', 'yes'); or set_Ctx_pkg ('cleared', 'no'); 
depending on whether the user is cleared to see the balance or not. In real 
life, you may have a table that lists all users and whether or not they are 
cleared. The after-logon trigger could read that table and set the context 
attribute properly.
 
 Next, you would craete a view. 
 
 create or replace view vw_savings
 as
 select acctno, cleared_balance,
 decode(sys_context('sec_ctx','cleared'),'yes',
 uncleared_balance, 0) uncleared_balance
 from savings
 /
 
 Note: there is only ONE view, not one per user. Regardless of how many 
users you have, there will be only one view.
 
 Now to test the setup. Assume user RAHUL is allowed to see the 
uncleared_balance. The after-logon trigger will set the context 
attribute cleared to yes when the user logs in. When the user selects:
 
 select * from vw_savings;
 
 He sees:
 
ACCTNO CLEARED_BALANCE UNCLEARED_BALANCE
 - --- -
 11000  1100
 21100  1200
 31300  1500
 
 Which is the correct value. Now, user ARUP logs in, who does not have the 
authority to see the uncleared balance. The logon trigger will set the 
attribute to no and the same select will now produce:
 
 ACCTNO CLEARED_BALANCE UNCLEARED_BALANCE
 -- --- -
  11000 0
  21100 0
  31300 0
 
 Note: How the uncleared balance is 0. 
 
 This model can be extended to any column and any number of values for the 
attribute cleared. You could even specify levels of users who are allowed 
to see the balances under certain amount; not above that. In case of 
character values; it's even simpler; just mask it by some value such 
as , or NOT CLEARED TO SEE.
 
 All the users are granted select privileges on the view, not the table. 
The context setting procedure is owned by a secured user; SYS would do, but 
you should have a separate username, say, SECUSER

9iR2, grant select on a column (without using views) using RLS

2003-08-22 Thread rahul
list, i'm ikn the process of designing security for a highly sensitive 
schema for a bank, 

plan:
have multiple oracle users, and use roles, and grant minimum required 
privs, all the user/role/privs management coded in the application (with in 
turn would create the db role and user etc) 

probolem:
i cannot do a grant select(col1)on tabname to role1, as select grant on a 
column level is not supported, to workaround this i must

1) use views and include all the columns granted seleted privs for a user, 
then give grant select on this view to user.

2) somehow use RLS ?? 

TIA

indexing PDF's using intermedia (8.1.7), not happening

2003-07-30 Thread rahul sharma



List, 

I have installed intermedia, and been using it for 
the last couple of weeks without nay problems,
recently, after uploading a PDF documents in the 
blob column, i found out that the contents of PDF's are
not being indexed !!! i have tried sync the index 
also.. all the other formats (word,ppt' etc) are indexed
automatically (m running the ctxsrv) 

the ctxsys.ctx_index_errors tables show the 
following error when i try to index...

DRG-11101: failed to open file 
C:\WINNT\TEMP\drgut27 

i have searched metalink, and it says to create a 
new filter.. i did that too.. 

SQL exec 
ctx_ddl.create_preference('myfilter', 'USER_FILTER'); 
SQL exec 
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('myfilter', 'command', 'auto_filt.bat');

SQL create index idx_documents on 
documents(blob_content)INDEXTYPE is ctxsys.contextparameters 
('filter myfilter section group ctxsys.html_section_group');

but still the PDF's do not appear in index !!!, all 
metalink docs point to ORA_HOME/ctx/bin directory !!
but i could not locate the directory on my NT 
server !!! very wierd indeed... 

again.. the indexing works for all other formats... 
other than PDF's 

TIA

Rahul

  Hi 
  Rahul,
  
  Have 
  a look at http://otn.oracle.com/tech/xmland 
  also 'Oracle Application Developers Guide - XML'. There is a utility called 
  XSQL which does this for you. Here's an example of that utility cut from the 
  above mentioned guide (for 8i):
  
  
  declare
  queryCtx DBMS_XMLquery.ctxType;
  result CLOB;
  begin
  -- set up the query context...!
  queryCtx := 
  DBMS_XMLQuery.newContext('select * from emp');
  -- get the result..!
  result := 
  DBMS_XMLQuery.getXML(queryCtx);
  -- Now you can use the result to put 
  it in tables/send as messages..
  printClobOut(result);
  DBMS_XMLQuery.closeContext(queryCtx); 
  -- you must close the query handle..
  end;
  /
  The printClobOut procedure is :
  /CREATE OR REPLACE 
  PROCEDURE printClobOut(result IN OUT NOCOPY CLOB) is
  xmlstr varchar2(32767);
  line varchar2(2000);
  begin
  xmlstr := dbms_lob.SUBSTR(result,32767);
  loop
  exit when xmlstr is null;
  line := substr(xmlstr,1,instr(xmlstr,chr(10))-1);
  dbms_output.put_line('| '||line);
  xmlstr := substr(xmlstr,instr(xmlstr,chr(10))+1);
  end loop;
  end;
  /
  Hope that helps,
  Regards,
  Charu.

 Hi,
 
 I sent this yesterday but it did not seem to get posted. Anyway I am
 posting it again.
 
 I am trying to speed up a schema imp process by import data and indexes
 separately to an Oracle 8173 db. While importing table data, I don't
 want to import PK indexes which are sitting in tablespace indexes
 (because I can create PK indexes later from a script), So I have this
 running before imp data:
 
 alter user ABC quota 0 on indexes;
 alter user ABC quota unlimited on ABC_DEFAULT_TS;
 
 I found that this way the PK indexes are imported in ABC_DEFAULT_TS,
 together with table data. So my question is what I can/should do so that
 I can imp only table data into ABC_DEFAULT_TS, and not imp PK indexes at
 the same time?
 
 Thanks.

weird behavior of utl_file_dir

2003-07-07 Thread rahul sharma
list, i created a new instance of 8.1.7 on Hp-UX and because some of the
front end programs use
utl package to write the log files to the server, i did this.

UTL_FILE_DIR = /u1/app/oracle/admin/BIS/utl_dir/

note the slash in the end in the front end programs.. we are also using
directory name with the slash
in the end...

until yesterday ALL our programs were working fine !! and sure enough we got
the files created in the
aboe directory.!!! but suddenly today, all the programs are returing
invalid operation from utl_file package !!!

according to oracle we should remove the slash.. (which i'm going to do
today) .. but i;m curious why everything worked
without any errors until now !!!

standby on SAN ? or use internal storage

2003-03-23 Thread Rahul



list, i'm a bit confused on whether to put the 
standby DB on the SAN storage or 
use the internal storage of the standby host !!! 


config a
two instances on primary server, data-files on SAN, 
hot standby db files on SAN too.
standby instances for both primary on another 
machine

config b
both primary on SAN, standby db files on the 
itnernal storage of standby machine

any thoughts ? 

TIA

2 servers 2 DB with SAN, here's my config

2003-03-14 Thread Rahul



list, once our client decides to buy SAN, 
here's what i'm going to propose for high availbility

we have 2 servers HP-UX and two databases, storage 
is internal, once SAN is in place, i propose to 
put both the DB's on the same server (one of the DB 
isnot busy,less than 10 concurrent users) 
and place all the dbfiles on the SAN storage, and 
use the remaining server to be used as a hot backup instance
for both the primaries running on the other server. 
the hot backup datafiles archive logs will be on the SAN too.

my questions:
1) should i keep one DB per machine and backup of 
DB1 is on server 2 and backup of DB2 is on server1?
2) should the hot standby dbfiles/archivelogs be on 
the SAN ? or the internal drives of the backuo machine ? the SAN can also go 
down !!

why SAN ? why not external storage ?

2003-03-12 Thread Rahul



list, one of our clietns are going to by SAN, the 
current oracle databases take around 
36GB of storage i dnt understand there reason 
to go for SAN, i sugguested to buy an external storage 
box instead. How can i justify my desicion ? (cost 
of not the factor) 

TIA

Re: why SAN ? why not external storage ?

2003-03-12 Thread Rahul



my reasons to recommend an external storage 
was..
1) the database size is 36GB, and according to many 
documents i have read, SAN is not cost effevtive unless populated 
by a large numbers of drives !!, now for the client 
the cost is not the factor.. given the situation.. wouldnt a SAN be an overkill 
? 

2) NO DBA or SYS ADMIN skills to manage the SAN !!

cant set multiblock read count 8 !!!

2002-11-12 Thread Rahul
list !!
my ora7.3.2 instance on AIX with a db_block_size of 4k has a 
multi block read count of 16 !! 

i thought i would create a new instance with a block size of 8k, so i can
set 
the max multiblock read count to more than 16, BUT, after creating the new
instance
the db_multiblock_read_count *always* defaults to 8 !! 

here the new instance params

db_files = 16
db_file_multiblock_read_count = 32
db_block_buffers = 3840
db_file_simultaneous_writes = 8
db_block_lru_latches = 8
shared_pool_size = 31457280

which of these parameter is affecting the value of multiblock read count ???


TIA
Rahul

PS: i hv checked the multiblock reads using ixora script... always 8 !!

phyrds in v$filestat and sql trace not match !!

2002-11-12 Thread Rahul
list, 
i'm doing benchmarking using two DB's with different block size
i run a count(*) on a 17 million row table, and compare the sql_trace file 
and the v$filestat stats..
the db was bounced before each test, the init.ora params were identical,
EXCEPT 
in DB1 (4k block size) the muldiblock read was 16, and DB2(block size 8k) it
was 8

4 samples were taken...

CPU time : 
DB1 = 9023
DB2 = 8027

elapsed time:
DB1 = 19171
DB2 = 18045

phy reads: (from sql_trace) 
DB1 = 327022
DB2 = 159347

PHYRDS from v$filestat 
DB1 = 16386
DB2 = 16385

PHYBLKRDS from v$filestat
DB1 = 262148
DB2 = 131073

my question is... why the physical reads in the v$filestat are equal ?? but
the p reads in the sql_trace 
file are different ??

strange (?) ora7 behaviour using CTAS

2002-11-08 Thread Rahul
list... this is something i cannot explain..

goal: to CTAS in a newly created tablespace

1) i created two raw devices test01 and test02

2) create tablespace test datafile '/dev/rtest01' size 1040m;

3) alter tablespace test add datafile '/dev/rtest02' size 1040m;

4) create table ratedlocal_test
tablespace test
storage(initial 1016m next 896 minextents 2 pctincrease 0 freelists 2)
unrecoverable
parallel 3
as (select * from ratedlocalcalls)
/

when the table creation was going on.. i happen to look at the v$filestat
numbers, i found 
that the raw device TEST02 was being written to first !!! (it's the SECOND
datafile in the tablespace creation) 

my understanding is that when a table is created, the extents are
(initially) taken from the datafile which is 
the first file when the tbs was created !!! 

what could be the logic behind this ??

 Reply To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 7:03 PM
 To:   Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L
 Subject:  9iAS install problem
 
 I'm sitting in front of a networked PC, running RedHat 7.2 and Oracle 9i 
 9.0.1.0.0.I also have a networked Windows2000 box with Forms 6i on it,
 
 upon which I have managed to build a simple form on top of my 9i database,
 
 and run it client-server style.
 
 My ultimate aim is to have an environment for developing and deploying 
 forms using Form Builder, using 9iAS, over the web.  I'd like to do my 
 forms development on my windows box, but have the Application Server and 
 database on the linux box.
 
 Looking through the Installed products bit of the Oracle installer on my
 
 linux box, I note that the machine also has 9iAS Developer Kits 9.0.2.0.1 
 installed.
 My understanding is that I also need to install the following products :
 Oracle 9iAS Infrastructure 9.0.2.0.1
 Oracle 9i Application Server 9.0.2.0.1
 
 On attempting to install the Infrastructure, I got the following error:
 
 Oracle 9iAS installation has detected that the Enterprise Manager Website
 
 is running on the system.  Install cannot continue unless the Enterprise 
 Manager Website is shut down.  To shut down the Enterprise Manager
 Website, 
 at the command line, unset the ORACLE_HOME environment variable and run
 the 
 command /u01/app/oracle/OraASHome/bin/emclt stop. After installation 
 completes, please restart the Enterprise Manager Website using the command
 /u01/app/oracle/OraASHome/bin/emclt start.
 
 So I unset the ORACLE_HOME, and stopped emclt (I bounced it couple of 
 times, for good measure, and I think it stopped OK).  I continued to get 
 the same error. I even tried rebooting the machine, and not starting 
 anything up at all.  Same problem.
 
 Now it's possible that I'm barking up the wrong tree - I'm a developer and
 
 this kind of work, has, in the past, been done by someone else.  My 
 experience of installing Oracle products is limited (and peppered with 
 disappointment), and despite my willingness to RTFM, I often can't work 
 figure out which FM to R. ;-)   I've stated my overall aim at the top of 
 this email - am I even close to achieving it?
 
 Thanks in advance,
 Maria

RE: can clustering help INSERTS ?

2002-10-27 Thread Rahul
;-) 
the only waits i see are parallel query dequeue wait, and sometimes
v$session_wait shows write complete waits  .. 
but i'm sure these are not slowing down the process... (or are they ?) 
as most of the time v$session_wait does not return a row !!
and i query this view once every second

 *no* waits?
 
 How is this possible?
 
 Is intantaneous computing now a reality?
 
 Sorry for the sarcasm. Wait, no, not really.  ;)
 
 Seriously, all databases wait, all operations take
 time.  The question on everyone's lips is
 'How long are *yours* taking?'

   Rahul,
  
   It does no good to speculate;  let's work with facts...
  
   What wait-events are occurring in the sessions running the INSERTs?
 If
   you
   can locate the sessions in the V$SESSION view, then use the value in
 the
   column SID to locate associated rows in the V$SESSION_EVENT view,
 sorting
   by
   the cumulative time spent on each wait-event:
  
   selectevent, time_waited, average_time, max_time
   fromv$session_event
   wheresid = SID
   union
   selectn.name, s.value, 0, 0
   fromv$sesstat s, v$statname n
   wheres.sid = SID
   andn.name in ('CPU used by this session','parse time
   cpu','recursive
   cpu usage')
   ands.statistic# = n.statistic#
   order by 2 desc
  
   As you can see, in addition to wait-event information, this query will
   also
   mix in CPU statistics from the V$SESSTAT view, to give a better
 picture
   of where time is being spent by these sessions...
  
   Can you post the results of these queries back to the list?
  
   Thanks!

currently these tables reside on separate disks, can i increase the

require info on OID / LDAP / LDIF

2002-09-03 Thread Rahul

list, 

i have been learning about OID for the last couple of weeks.. 
i have managed to install and run the ldap server on my w2k, i can run the 
OID manager GUI, and can also do a ldap://wb-rahul:4034; from my IE5

now i want to pupulate the directory with some new info, and test the
storage and search
of OID... there are a couple of things i do not understand... 

1) my understanding of oid is : it would store (and display) static data in
a tree like hierarchical structure
is this true ? 

2) suppose i want to store state, street name, zip in a tree like order..
how to do it ? 
the syntax is too complicated for me.!! all the docs on metalink writes
about cn and dn and sn

anyone out there using OID/LDAP in this fashion ? 

TIA

 From: John Kanagaraj[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
 
 Some remarks: (not an answer!) The first line of vmstat/iostat output is
 an
 average since restart. The 'wa' is 32 and you have 4 processes blocked on
 average. Was there a problem (or a large load) since your last restart
 that
 was since solved? If not, this may just be the average load... On the
 other
 hand, you aren't currently paging in/out nor have an abnormal amount of
 context switches (cs) or system calls (sy), so why should two processes be
 blocked for resources  I/O, paging, and so forth (as per man page).
 Worth
 investigating! Unfortunately, *NIX does not provide the equivalent of V$
 views so we really cannot dig into the details.

  John,
  
  I think I recall some references in the past that would state 
  that what you
  see above is a problem (the 2 blocked processes in the b

  we are not suffering any type of obvious problems that I am 
  aware of.  Is
  there a way to determine what these processes are?

RE: how to force the DB to SKIP tx recovery ?

2002-07-23 Thread Rahul

Vikas, even if the parameters were set for the checkpoint to happen often,
all the
transactions *not* commited would still be rolled back !! for example, when
i shut down the PC
in the middle of doing an update of 1/2 a million rows !!! (how would these
parameters help?)


 --
 From: Vikas Khanna[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
 
 No, Instance recovery has to take place internally, SMON has to recover
 the
 committed transactions which were left hanging in the cache to datafiles
 so
 that the files become synchronized.
 
 After that the db gets opened and roll backwards takes its own time. It
 depends SMON does this job in the background and any other Server process
 if
 needs that block can rollback the uncommitted transaction and proceed with
 the block.
 
 If you wish to recover the instance recovery very fast then set the
 LOG_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL,LOG_CHECKPOINT_TIMEOUT,FAST_START_IO_TARGET
 parameters to force the checkpoints quite often, this would open the
 instance under crash quite fast as it has to perform less work. But more
 the
 checkpoints initiated more the performance degradations as B'ground
 processes would be under tremendous work.
 
 Hope it clarifies.

 Hi, grurus:
   This is a production database 8.1.7.2 on aix 4.3.3, there are 17
 instances running on the same box.
   I shutdown immediate the database and it hangs.After wait for one
 hour, i do a shutdown abort. When i startup again, it failed to open the
 database , just hangs at this stage like:
 Sun Jun 16 09:36:40 2002
 SMON: enabling cache recovery
 SMON: enabling tx recovery
   And the sql*plus window hangs at : database mounted, but never
 showed open.
   From another shell prompt, i sqlplus internal and query the
 instance, it showed instance open in read write state!
   But from remote node via listener, client process showed 0134:
 oracle not available.
   I once met such kind of questions on sun solaris, it is because of
 solaris bug.But never heard of this kind on AIX. Oracle support suggest
 reboot the server, but as there is 16 other instance on it, it is not the
 solution.
   Can anyone help?
   Great thanks.

 Hi,
 
 I have a strange phenomena. Due to sizing problems with a specific table.
 I changed the next extent clause with 
  ALTER TABLE contingenten.BOEKINGEN_ADDITIONS storage ( next 256K );
 
 Mysteriously after running the batch, it was back on 8K. 
 
 Ofcourse I select before (also closing sqlplus and starting it again and
 selecting)
 and after the batch the next extent by
 SQL select next_extent from dba_tables where table_name =
 'BOEKINGEN_ADDITIONS';
 
 NEXT_EXTENT
 ---
8192
 
 After the batch it was back on 8K. I checked the scripts and there was no
 alter in the script.
 I turned on the audit on this table and did find only records with
 'session
 rec' in action_name
 What can cause the previous alter to be changed back?
 
 Tia,
 
 Jeroen

RE: ORA_ENCRYPT_LOGIN

could not say about the net8, but in oracle 7 clients, if the initial login
fails, the client will do the *next*
login attempt  using  *plain text* as password !!! but if this param is set
to TRUE, all the attempts are 
done using an encrypted password. 

set ORA_ENCRYPT_LOGIN = TRUE , in the correct ORACLE_HOME using regedit (if
on windows) 
turn the tracing level to 16, try to connect and see the trace file, u wud

 If you want to be absolutely sure the password is being encrypted, you'll
 need to place a sniffer on the network.  Work with your network guys and
 whoever else needs to be involved.   In most company's  using an
 unauthorized sniffer will  result in dismissal. 
  
 Let me reinterate what I stated.  SQL*NET encrypts passwords even if the
 ORA_ENCRYPT_LOGIN parameter is not set to TRUE  I wouldn't label it strong
 encryption.  If you really need that there is the Advanced Security
 Option.  
  
  I'm not 100% sure when the passwrod is sent in the clear.   It is never
 sent  plain text when the ORA_ENCRYPT_L0gin parameter is set to TRUE.  I
 believe it will be sent in the clear if the Oracle server side of SQL*NET
 is incapable of handling encrypted passwords and ORA_ENCRYPT_LOGIN  is
 set to false. ( I cannot , off the top of my head, remember if the
 parameter takes YES/NO or TRUE/FALSE).
  
 The first thing I would do is ensure ORA_ENCRYPT_LOGIN  is true for all
 clients.

   That's exactly what I want to stop, passwords being sent in the
 clear.  However, I'm not able to verify it's working so far. I've turned
 on tracing, as recommended in another reply on this topic, did a login
 before enabling then after enabling this parameter and the differences are
 very minor and I'm seeing nothing that specifically points
   to this parameter being used other than output saying the parameter
 is detected.  How are you all having developers connect to the production
 box via SQL*Plus client on developer workstations, so that the password is
 not sent in the clear?

   Even without this parameter being set the password is encrypted.
 What the parameter does is stop the password from being sent in the clear
 if logging in with the encrypted password fails.   I believe the
 encryption is a 54-bit  variant of DES.  It is very rare that  someone
 improves DES by fiddling with it.  It also always encrypts to the same
 value and provides no protection against replay attacks.

this is how i created mount points - AIX

2002-04-09 Thread Rahul

list, 
i have 3 hdisks, i created ONE volume group for each hdisk, the VG size was
just a little
less than that of the disk... 

hdisk1  vg1
hdisk2  vg2
hdisk3  vg3

then i creatd mount points /hd1, /hd2/, and /hd3 
and created 3 file systems on 3 volume groups and mounted them on the above
mentioned
directories.. 

now i will create further sub-directories under these mount points... for
instance data/indexes etc...

this setup gives me easy one-to-one mapping, so i;'m sure if i put my files
under /hd1, the data
is stored to hdisk1 physically !!

am i right ?? or is there a more better (complex?)  way to do this.. ?

Regards

Rahul

Did you read the documentation? Do they say that if DB has to

Re: replication question

2002-03-04 Thread Rahul Dandekar



Depends on your need.
You can have read only snapshots, updatable 
snapshots
or multimaster...
Again if you think of multimaster... then you would 
need to make decision
based on your application requirements about sync 
or async

I donot have any expereince of snapshot 
replication.
But, if you are planning multimaster replication, 
then better
spend a couple of months studying it and testing on 
test boxes...

Make 100% sure that your applicationreally 
needs the replication
and there is no other simpler 
option...

Just 2 cents...

 Replication is not part of database configuration.
 After you build the database and create objects inside
 you use the replication manager to create the replication
 on the objects you want to replicate.

Multimaster Replication Doubt...

2002-03-04 Thread Rahul Dandekar

1.
It is my understanding that Oracle 7.x has continuous purge
of the propogated deftrans. There is no option of scheduling
periodic purge at specific time. Am I correct?

2.
How to schedule continuous purge of propogated deftrans in
Oracle 8i from command line?

prompt  SCHEDULE PURGE AT MASTER SITE 
BEGIN
DBMS_DEFER_SYS.SCHEDULE_PURGE (
NEXT_DATE = SYSDATE,
INTERVAL = 'SYSDATE + 1/24',
DELAY_SECONDS = 0,
ROLLBACK_SEGMENT = '');
END;
/

Manual says set DELAY_SECONDS to 500,000 and set INTERVAL to a value less
than
DELAY_SECONDS. I could not understand exactly how this works...

Re: replication question

2002-03-04 Thread Rahul Dandekar



Well, you could open standby DB only for 
read only access (8i) whereas in replication, both or
all (more than 2) databases could be up 
and open to users all the times.

Each DML causes substantial overhead as 
each transaction needs to be propogated and applied
at all the master sites (whereas 
inOracle Parallel Server,there is centralized database accessed 

by multiple instances, there is no need 
for this).

So, if you donot need two databases at two 
geographically separate locations, open for users,
then Standby DB or OPSmight be 
better option. Again, in OPS, if the hardware cluster fails then
you are in trouble...

About speed, if you could tune up sending 
of logs and application of it, then Standby database
would consume substantially lesser 
resources than replication, hence higher throughput...
The primary database in Standby DB just 
needs to send the archivelogs (simple file transfer)
and then log application happens on the 
secondary server...
Whereas, in replication, the database 
would have to propogate and apply each and every
transaction individually

[Rahul] Yes. I would like to know which flags of the

we could know if there is a problem and we could 
investigate further.
I am specifically looking for IO and Network 
statistics.
Is there any command which would give me approx IO of the 
system, say in last 5 minutes or
current?
How to get network statistics? I was littlebit confused

I generate trends based on this archival data for capacity planning and

anticipating chronic problems.

  or advice on how to interpret it? Don't forget that you 
  will really need to correlate many of these

You said it! I want co-relation of Application Load, 
UNIX System Load and Database

And not just when the problem arises. So, 
that's what I am trying to develop.


  This then causes a problem because your sample points

  Subject: RE: [Fwd: UNIX Performance 
  Issues]
  
  Rahul,
  
  Here's what I would do. 
  1) I would use "mpstat" for the processor statistics. 
  This breaks the usage up by processor in SMP configurations. This can be 
  useful to see the relative loading of each CPU, in particular the breakdown of 
  kernel and user time.
  2) Memory: Concentrate on Page Outs and Free Memory more 
  than anything else. That will give you plenty of clues about memory 
  starvation, and the relevence of your VM tuning.
  3) I/O: User "sar -d". It's a bit annoying on a system 
  with a lot of disks, because it returns a row for every device, even if no I/O 
  occurred in the sample period. However, it makes it easier to parse. ;-) 
  Notably, keep an eye on the Service Times (avserv?), Wait times (avwait), and 
  the queue depth. The utilisation is a function of these (queuing theory), but 
  you can store that too as a shortcut. You can give sar any sample period, so 
  your 5 minute averages are no problem.
How can I get the current I/O load on the system? I don't know 
exactly what metric I am looking for.
But I want to establish some baseline metric for each machine and 
then hunt for spikes from the
gathered data. The metric can be "I/O load on system bus in 
Mb/sec" (like the netstat info packets
input and output). I don't want individual disk statistics. I just 
want a overall number, which I
can snapshot.

  4) Network: "netstat 5" will report a row for every 5 
  seconds (for example), showing how many packets went in and out of each 
  interface. Your question below is easily answered - you have two columns in 
  your output; the first is for the named interface (hme0), the 100baseT network 
  card. The second is a total of all cards - looks like you only have one. This 
  total can also include the loopback interface (lo0), so look out for 
  that.

If I have only one card then why the total and hme0 data are 
different (by about 10%)?

  Good luck, you're doing the right thing. I've been 
  working on some software to do just this for a couple of years. I'd love to 
  hear how it goes!

Re: Oracle Advanced Replication

2002-02-18 Thread Rahul Dandekar

Adar,

How do you take care of backups?
I mean, what kind of backups do you take? How are you addressing the
scenario of incomplete recovery?
Following are some of my doubts.

1.  What kind of Backup should be taken? Online or Offline? Does
replication would generate substantially higher redo?

Ø  Lets analyze the possibility of Online Backups :

q   Redo Generation
Apparently, a database in replicated environment would generate
significantly more redo if the same database was not in replicated
environment. Is there sufficient bandwidth (diskspace, tapes) for the
additional redo?

q   Need for Complete Recovery
If we need to recover one of the databases then it should be complete
recovery. Incomplete recovery will not be permissible since the databases
are in replicated environment. (Lets not consider 'All' the databases
restored from their backups till a certain SCN.)

q   Quick Recovery
Also, the recovery must be done quickly. This is because as one of the
databases in replicated environment is down, the DEFTRAN queues in other
master sites would start getting larger and larger and it might reach to a
stage where we would also need to do the 'Offline Instantiation' for
replicated objects.

q   When complete ercovery is not possible….
In case complete recovery is not possible then we need to recover the
databases and then perform 'Offline Instantiation' for replicated objects.

Ø  What if we take Offline Backups :

q   For a simple recovery, entire database needs to be restored from the
cold backup.

q   'Offline Instantiation' needs to be performed each time media
recovery is performed. This is because media recovery would always bring the
database till the time of cold backup and other master sites would be ahead
in time.

q   In case datafiles affecting 'only' those tablespaces which have
objects which are replicated are needing recovery then recovery can be done
by using transportable tablespaces feature.

   i.  First, we would
need to drop those tablespaces from the database.

 ii.  We can then drop
replication for this master group.

iii.  Transport and
Plug-in the tablespace's datafile from other master site.

   iv.  Rebuild replication.

TIA,

+Rahul

 Hello Peter

 We implemented Advance Replication as part of dealing room.
 We defined master to master real-time replication.
 Synchronous, 2 phase commit, from the primary to the backup DB as each
deal
 is a
 lot of money and standby database will not reflect updates since the last
 log file was archived.
 Since we need master to master we defined the replication from the backup
DB
 to the primary as asynchronous even though no body is using the backup DB.

 I think that the cases are similar.

 Points to take care off:

 1) Prepare a script to drop the replication on each machine if the other
 machine fails.
 Lets say that you got a CPU fault on the primary and you switch to the
 backup.
 In this case you might get off with the asynchronous replication as
 updates will
 accumulate in the backup machine until the CPU is replaced. When the
 primary
 will come up the replication will update the primary DB with all the
 changes.
 Now, if the disk drive fails on the primary you will probably have to
 rebuild the
 DB from scratch (or from export from the backup). In this case there
is
 no point
 to accumulate updates in the backup machine.
Also, if the backup machine fails you do not want the updates to the
 primary to
 fail. In this case you drop replication and go on working.

 2) Ensure that the log files, rollback segments, datafiles (size) and all
 init ora are the
 same on both machines. You do not want to swap to the backup only to
 find that
 the parameters are ok for one connection (replication) but fails when
 working as
 a primary DB.

 3) Hey, what happens if the air condition stopped working and ALL the
 machines heats
 up and stopped working. Both machine will fail.
Worse if that room gets on fire you are out of luck.
Move the backup machine at least a couple of rooms away.

 4) Use stand by database in another building so in case of a serious
problem
 (11 seqptember)
 you will not lose all your data, only the data since the last archive.

 5) Test, Test, Test again all failure scenarios, and test again each
month,
 quarter or whatever.

UNIX Performance Issues

2002-02-14 Thread Rahul Dandekar

DBAs,

This might be littlebit (or completely!) UNIX related... But I am told
to do the performance analysis of some 10-15 machines and generate
some statistical data to find out bottlenecks and identify areas of
tuning...

Operating System : Solaris 2.6

I have been using sar, iostat, top...
I actually plan to script these things and run these scripts at certain
intervals and put the data in database (Oracle 8i) and then do the
crunching...
Inputs are appreciated...

1. I/O
   What is current I/O status. Is there a lot of I/O going on?

2. Paging
   Is there lot of swapping / paging happening?
   Which processes are getting swapped in/out continuously?
   Are the I/O waits due to swapping / paging or regular stuff
   like DB waiting to read from DB files?

3. CPU
   What is the CPU utulization? Which processes are using lot of CPU?

4. Memory
   What is the current picture of Real and Virtual Memory?
   What processes are using how much memory? Which processes
   are in real memory and which are in virtual memory?
   Which processes are swapped in and out from/to real/virtual memory
   and how many times?

5. Network
   What is the percentage utilization of network pipe?
   What is the capacity (bandwidth) of the network device?
   What percentage of that bandwidth is getting used?
   Is the system waiting for data from outside network I/O?
   In short, is there any bandwidth problem with network device
   or network traffic.

Thanks,

my boss wants a report !!!

2002-02-14 Thread Rahul

list, 
the management has asked me to report the activities i do to make sure
that all the DB's are in perfect health.!! Without being technical the
report
should somehow show the status of the DB's . 

I have decided to devide the report into the following sections

- performance
how to show the performance of the DB ??? without using any stats .

- storage
occupied / available

- security
unauthorized access 

- backup and recovery

status of the hot standby database. 


could anyone point out some more information to include showing the
performance of the DB ?

Regards

Rahul
