OT: Re: 10g new features question for beta testers

2003-12-29 Thread Mogens Nørgaard
Oh yes, the RDD story is good.  Carel-Jan and I were in Paris for Oracle 
World, sharing the horrendous costs of a hotel room, and having one 
final beer when the phone rang at 2 am.

It was a Dane, and it was also one of Miracle's support customers. Since 
our motto for Miracle Support is "Call us anytime about anything" I of 
course answered the phone.

He was slightly drunk after the big Oracle party, he was lost in a 
deserted area with no roads, couldn't remember the name of his hotel or 
the street or the Metro station near it, and he had just been robbed by 
six guys. Initially they had been two, and he fought like a real Dane, 
but when the four others came around he went down, and they took his wallet.

So we asked him several times if he could describe anything he could 
see, and he finally told us "I can zee the Raifel Tover". Is it close? 
we asked. "Noo, it's weeery far awaaay" he answered. So now we knew he 
was in Paris.

Finally, after much talking and him walking around for a while, he 
managed to stop a taxi, who then spoke French to Carel-Jan. Carel-Jan 
directed the taxi to our hotel, paid it, and led the good Dane to our 
room. There we washed off the blood & mud on him, gave him a beer, and 
put him to sleep on the floor.

He thought he had received splendid support :-).

I'm sure this could become a textbook case in some future book by Tom 
Peters and other management gurus.

The credit for that goes to Gary Dodge.  It has been his email signature for
better than 10 years...

Gene Fosnight (a successfully retired Oracle consultant) had an email

other person from the list was there. Since Oracle
is releasing details and its going to be released(in
theory) in the next 2 weeks, I was wondering if you

1. does ASMs work as well as Oracle claims? I
 

always wonder about first generation features...
takes most software vendors a couple of generations
to get it right(takes any project Im on just as
long). This is a radical departure.
   

for those of you who dont know. Oracle claims that
 

they will manage your disks for you. All you do is
give Oracle some Raw Disks and Oracle will set up,
and handle all your datafiles. All you do is look at
logical tablespaces. It will also handle I/O
balancing. 
   

How well does this work? Anyone test it with a
 

SAN? 
   

2. RAC Load Balancing. Oracle claims that you only
 

need Oracle software from now on. They also claim
that you can load balance multiple applications.

SAME is stripe and mirror everything. There is a doc on otn by that name. ASMs will do 
that for you, 'in theory'.

kyte is the technical face of oracle. This is why they pay him so much money.

presentation would have been better if people didnt play 'stump the dba'. It seems 
like people were trying to show him how smart they were by asking irrelevent narrow 
questions that will be in the docs when they come in the next couple of months... wish 
he would have cut them off and covered more big picture stuff.

This could simplify life, particularly with wait event-based tuning.  If 
Oracle properly instruments these additional layers for timing, it makes 
it easy to diagnose performance problems, not harder.  Interested in 
Cary's thoughts on this.

As with anything I suppose, if a single vendor can be
in control of more of the stack between application
and physical server structure then there is a greater
opportunity for benefits.  For example, ASM offers the
ability to add disks to a stripe without needing to
redistribute(reload) the entire stripeset.

A (bug-free) ASM product looks very very impressive to
me.  Time will tell how close Oracle are to achieving
it.

Right.  Then the finger pointing will be contained within Oracle Corp.

I don't know whether ASM is a good idea, a bad one, or a mediocre one,
but I don't believe holding one vendor responible will help resolve issues
in a more timely manner.

Just a couple of comments on this which hopefully won't go down the
Marketing track too far.  :)

1.  I'm pretty sure Steve Adams agrees with you, since he co-presented
on ASM at OracleWorld in San Fran.  Not sure if he monitors this group
actively or not, but I believe the presentation he did is loaded with
all the other OracleWorld 2003 presentations so you can see what he
said.

2.  One point which makes a lot of sense to me, and it happens in a
variety of places in 10g such as ASM and the RAC clusterware.  If you
have one vendor to raise an issue with (not that you'd need to do that
with Oracle of course!), it's a lot easier to get an answer without the
finger pointing that can go on between vendors.  Take the clusterware
example - if you run into a problem running RAC on Sun with the Sun
Cluster technology and Veritas owning the disk side, who you gonna call?
GhostBusters, maybe!  But if you're running RAC on Sun with Oracle's
clusterware and ASM, it's a lot easier to determine who to call.

RE: 10g new features question for beta testers

2003-12-19 Thread Michael Thomas
I was in Reston last night, too. Also, Tom repeatedly
emphasized RMAN, which I've not spent enough time
mastering, will be even more important in 10g. Does
everyone here use RMAN that is using 9i currently?

BTW. Tom mentioned SAME, as you say, but I can not
remember what he said about it. Sorry. Maybe Ryan
remembers?

As far as ASM, I thought it was interesting that ASM
was supposed to run as additional PMON/SMON processes
with separate dynamic V$ views as the API. 

I was pretty impressed that Tom was spending the week
before holidays travelling around and doing Oracle
presentations. He is really amazing.

Hi,

I sat in a presentation up here in Wisconsin.  I got the distinct
feeling that most of the new "features" aren't optional.  Either you
use them or you don't use 10g.

I can't remember if ASM was one of those mandatory features.

And the more that vendor, namely the database in this case, controls more and more of 
the stack the more any performance problem must be a database problem.  No thank you.

As with anything I suppose, if a single vendor can be
in control of more of the stack between application
and physical server structure then there is a greater
opportunity for benefits.  For example, ASM offers the
ability to add disks to a stripe without needing to
redistribute(reload) the entire stripeset.

A (bug-free) ASM product looks very very impressive to
me.  Time will tell how close Oracle are to achieving
it.

RE: 10g new features question for beta testers

2003-12-19 Thread Goulet, Dick
That is not exactly a new feature.  Oracle 9i has Oracle Managed Files where you give 
it a directory and then just build tablespaces.  The database picks the filenames for 
you.  Now mind you it does work, but I'll be damned if I use it in anything other than 
a development environment.  For some reason Oracle has never gotten over that DUMB 
SAME (Stripe And Mirror Everything) idea.  The concept is great in theory, but in 
practice it's absolutely abysmal at best.

I saw a presentation from Oracle on 10g new features last night in Reston,VA. I know 
atleast one other person from the list was there. Since Oracle is releasing details 
and its going to be released(in theory) in the next 2 weeks, I was wondering if you 
guys could talk about it.

1. does ASMs work as well as Oracle claims? I always wonder about first generation 
features... takes most software vendors a couple of generations to get it right(takes 
any project Im on just as long). This is a radical departure.

for those of you who dont know. Oracle claims that they will manage your disks for 
you. All you do is give Oracle some Raw Disks and Oracle will set up, and handle all 
your datafiles. All you do is look at logical tablespaces. It will also handle I/O 
balancing. 

How well does this work? Anyone test it with a SAN? 


2. RAC Load Balancing. Oracle claims that you only need Oracle software from now on. 
They also claim that you can load balance multiple applications. Lets say you have One 
application that runs batch loads over night and a transactional application during 
the day oracle will automatically steal resources from the other when its not 
busy...

anyone test this? 


3. Flashback database. Kyte was the presenter and he said that you can keep massive 
undo areas, so that if you have a failure or delete data you shouldnt have you can 
have oracle automatically write the DML necessary to bring it back to any point in 
time. Kyte said that regular EIDE hard drives that you put in home PCs are plenty fast 
enough for most systems. He recommends getting 4 300 GB drives(1.2 TBs) for about 
$1400 to do this and to make tape backups off of this since they are really slow.

Can any beta testers comment? 

Im pleased with the rename tablespace feature... that way I dont have to update TS$ 
anymore... I wonder if it was our complaining that got them to add it :)

No, contents of a file are just a sequence of bytes. No fats, no inodes.
These are file system internal mechanisms to keep track about file chunks on
a device. As I understand, convert tablespace does just little-endian to
big-endian conversion (or vice versa) for appropriate datatypes, maybe
something in the datafile header as well.

You might be right, direct load inserts over dblinks can be quite fast and
they don't require intermediate storage+disk IO capacity for transferring
data. But within SAN environment you can just mount your device with
converted file elsewhere, here we might have more benefit from transportable
tablespaces.  I depends on environment, which method will be faster for data
transfer, I think. Also, 10g's data pump with it's direct read & load
capabilities will change the picture.

No, the segment is shrunk within Oracle datafile, it doesn't matter on which
storage layer they lie.

SQLPLUSW was quite crappy, I've never used it anyway, regular sqlplus on
cmd.exe will do the job just fine.

Re: 10g new features (was: dc_used_extents ,dc_free_extents

2003-12-12 Thread Ron Rogers
Tanel,
 Thanks for sharing the presentation in the 10g features. 
 I started looking at the slides and I have a question about the "cross
platform transportable tablespaces" and the command you used. 
 From what I gather in the command I can take a Unix based datafile and
convert it to a "Microsoft Windows NT"
format just by quoting the destination OS type and version? Then
basically I have to copy the converted datafile to the new OS and
recognize the datafile by the new OS to have to data available? How is
this possible? the different OS's use different storage (fat's, inodes)
unless it converts it into a common format like ASCII. Do you have to
perform and "conversion" on the new OS when the file is copied over? For
query purposes why not use a DBLINK? I think it would be faster. I can
understand some complicated actions and wanting to keep the data
separate between platforms or if you wanted to migrate between
platforms. Other than that reason I am finding it difficult to
understand the full advantage for this feature.

 I think that the online segment shrink is a nice feature but as I
understand the feature, it requires the use of RAW devices. Is this
correct? The RAW device must have a portion of the disk allocated for
the max size file before the shrink or else the disk could be clobbered
by creating a file on the device.
 
No SQLPLUSW for windows? Is this because of a browser based access to
the sqlplus function?

Just a few question. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Ron

2003-12-10 Thread Pete Sharman
Robert, Robert, Robert, when will you ever learn?  You've been listening
to the marketing people again.  :)

The whole goal behind this part of the release is not to make the
database look easy to manage (which is good because I've never thought
it WAS difficult to manage!)  It's for those lower end customers who may
not have the requirement for a full-time DBA.  The idea is to set as few
parameters as needed by having sensible defaults (whether they ARE
sensible or not is a separate argument), while still having the full
power and flexibility of all the other parameters for those lucky DBA's
who have more complex systems to manage.  Make more sense?

I can see I'm gonna have to keep a VERY close eye on you if we ever get
around to writing our 10g book!  :)

I've checked enough articles, presentations and white papers. It doesn't mean anything
without being able to try them. That, precisely, is my beef with the whole "beta

Thanks for the offer, though.

Re: 10g new features

2003-11-05 Thread zhu chao
Hi, Gopa:
I ever saw you can rename tablespace via transportable tablespace via edit the dmp 
file and reimport metadata into database. But it is not one command line. How do you 
rename tablespace in 9i?
I tested rename tablespace in 10i beta1 and found rename tablespace does update 
sys.ts$ and with a few check. 

In fact, without transfer data between database, I do not see any usage of 
renaming tablespace in a production database.  Like to flush the data buffer in 10g as 
a so called new-feature.

Regards.
Zhu Chao.

Yup, out of bag, definitely. I already scanned 
through v$reserved_words to find anything usable with alter tablespace (or 
perhaps database), but no luck. However, words such "undrop" and "disk group" 
are already reserved in 9.2.0.4 ;-9

I was not joking. Actually there is a command to rename tablespaces in 9i
and that is undocumented. IIRC it is with some FROM and TO options or
something similar to that.

Let me check that come back to you  offline..

Re: 10g new features

2003-11-03 Thread Yong Huang
How can *you* not get it? Gopal says in Oracle 9.2, 'alter tablespace rename'
is possible. Of course. The full syntax is alter tablespace mytablespace rename
datafile '/path/file.dbf' to '/path/newfile.dbf'. You see the three words
'alter', 'tablespace' and 'rename' in there?

You'll get it in the morning. homo sapien think better during the day.

Re: 10g new features

2003-11-03 Thread Jared Still
Not sure I get it either.  :)

The command listed on the 10g site that I referred to is this:

  alter tablespace ts_user rename to ts_user_01;

Renaming a tablespace is apparently possible with 10g.

Must be a joke here somewhere I'm missing.

Re: 10g new features

Gopal was joking about the fact that Jared only said 'alter tablespace rename'
instead of ALTER TABLESPACE RENAME DATAFILE.

In fact, 9.2 SQL Reference has this

Moving and Renaming Tablespaces: Example
This example moves and renames a datafile associated with the tbs_01 tablespace
from 'diskb:tbs_f5.dat' to 'diska:tbs_f5.dat':

If you only read the subtitle here (first line), you *will* be surprised.

Re: 10g new features

Actually, I don't understand what you mean. Here is 9.2:

SQL> create tablespace test datafile '/data/oradata/data/test01.dbf'
 2  size 10M extent management local autoallocate
 3  segment space management auto;
Tablespace created.

SQL> alter tablespace test rename to test01;
alter tablespace test rename to test01
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01904: DATAFILE keyword expected
SQL>

So, what did you mean?

Re: 10g new features

2003-11-03 Thread Yong Huang
That's a nice article. The author could have enhanced it by adding or changing
some wording.

The buffer cache can be flushed with alter system flush buffer_cache. -> ...
instead of using the undocumented alter session set events = 'immediate trace
name flush_cache' in 9i

SQL: Regular Expressions (finally) -> SQL: Regular Expressions; much enhanced
over the less known owa_pattern (see
http://www.stormloader.com/yonghuang/computer/OracleRegExp.html)

Plus Oracle trace collection is deprecated (or gone?) after it's finally
improved to the level of being quite useful (see
http://www.dbazine.com/jlewis1.html)

One of the biggest improvements to me is the datafile reuse across OSes. When
my previous employer outsourced Financials to Oracle.com (and laid off all DBAs
including me incidentally), Oracle had to use Solaris because it was too
difficult to export. All other databases we outsourced are running on Linux
now.
