You got to have xvnc server installed somewhere, 
then you can direct any X app to it as you would do with normal X. So the app 
appears on vnc virtual display and if you want to see it, you have to connect to 
this virtual display using vncviewer.

An X-DISPLAY application (Reports) needs to access 
an X-display terminal in order for it to run.You can either give it a real 
X-terminal, or you can simulate the functionality (pretend X terminal) with 
software, either Xvbf or VNC. Since the application doesn't need to really 
display anything, it doesn't know any better, so runs along quite 
happily.

Re: Urgent INFO needed. - OFF TOPIC

2003-09-08 Thread Mogens Nørgaard
Yeah, well, when all the American IT companies conquered (spelling?) the 
world and ran the Danish HW-vendors in the ground, as well as a lot of 
small and medium sized SW-shops, I think - but I could be awfully wrong 
here :-) - most Americans thought that was because we were too 
expensive, too lazy, too lesbian, too something, and that we could just 
go out and compete, or find some new cheese. Otherwise, I think they 
called us a bunch of bad losers.

I think - but, again, I'm probably very wrong here - the same happened 
with our esteemed weapons industry. Who  can ever forget the wonderful 
Madsen machinegun, for instance?

I know for a fact it has happened a lot in agriculture...

So yes, jobs are moved around, and it's not funny anymore when it's our 
jobs. But there's only one thing to do about it: Go out and find some 
new cheese.

It's hopefully past those days where the Danish Government would forbid 
the Danish Military to buy American weapons, or we would have import 
controls on American software and hardware in order to stimulate 
domestic production of some Unix compute like the excellent NUMA 
architecture of DDE...

That's because you people are the best DBAs I've seen...

Yes, in your experience...and maybe most of the other lister's
experience...majority of the time its true...
That's because you people are the best DBAs I've seen...
Your experiences...10...15 years...some of you have a little over 3 years and are
already experts...
Of course a lot of other people are less skilled than you are...
But I am not sure if you represent the rest of the US DBAs...or if I represent the
rest of the 3rd world DBAs...
Again, as I have said...some peopler are just better than others...that's my
opinion...obviously, yours is a lot different than mine...

I don't know you, Joe, well enough to judge you.
So I won't call you names.

Did you explain plan? I suspect FTS taking place in case of NOT EXISTS.
It must be using Range scan for the non partitioned table.
Can you confirm / post the explain plan.


GovindanK



 Here the informations :
 table HREL_FUSION :
  63 millions rows
  3 indexes on columns : nodos_or, nodos_or, numcli --- too much
 indexes ??
 table primedi_enr2_temp_fusion : 133 000 rows
  I also took snaps with stastpack, can it help you ?
  this table is recreated and re-analyze each day, but the hanging
 part of the scritp in located here :

 **
 SELECT NULL
 FROM hrel_fusion
 WHERE cod_rel = :b1
 AND dat_rel = :b2
 AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT NULL

   I just wanted to thank you for posting your views on the DBA situation
from your perspective. I always feel better informed when I have an
opportunity to hear opinions from people whose situation is different from
mine. And I agree with you that this is a valuable forum where people with a
staggering amount of expertise are willing to spend a few moments helping

RE: Urgent INFO needed.

2003-09-04 Thread Brian Dunbar
Joe,

It's all about dollars and cents, true.  In your view, can a company look
past the next quarter and see that by outsourcing they might be jumping over
dollars to save pennies?

Example, most of the companies in my region aren't Fortune 500, they're
small manufacturing outfits - it's rare to see a company with more than a
thousand people on the payroll.  By outsourcing, they loose all of their
flexibility as regards what they can do with IT.  This has costs and
consquences beyond the next quarter, sometimes it won't have an impact for
years.

Can the corporate mindset look that far ahead?

Fact of the matter is the majority of the time its true, like it or 
not.  Those of you who know me, know I DON'T do politically correct, I 
call a spade a spade. 

Its true at the officer level in a company(and I'm there in the company 
I'm in now), its all about dollars and cents, especially today.   Thats 
why you see it as much as you do. 

My example:  I worked for an online training company, they were paying 
me $25/hr to do online tutoring or web based oracle DBA classes., I was 
with them from the beginning just like alot of other tutors from around 
th world.  We were told in early/mid 2002, we've decided to outsource 
all tutoring to India, so if you're interested in teaching your 
replacements, we'll keep you on board for a little extra time.  The end 
was near and someone had asked me how long I'd been doing it, how long I 
was a DBA and how long did I plan on doing it, i gave them the truthful 
answer, about 4 yrs, 10 years as a DBA and not much longer since it was 
all being outsourced to India, got my a$$ fired from the job before my 
time was up.   Basically the concept was: we can go to India and pay 
$2.50, 10% of what we pay you and we really dont care about the quality 
because they will pick up their English language from previous answers 
you and others have submitted to students throughout the years..

You tell me I  shouldn't have an attitude, you're as full of garbage as 
them.

Did you explain plan? I suspect FTS taking place in case of NOT EXISTS.
It must be using Range scan for the non partitioned table.
Can you confirm / post the explain plan.

GovindanK


 Here the informations :
 table HREL_FUSION :
   63 millions rows
   3 indexes on columns : nodos_or, nodos_or, numcli --- too much
 indexes ??
 table primedi_enr2_temp_fusion : 133 000 rows
   I also took snaps with stastpack, can it help you ?
   this table is recreated and re-analyze each day, but the hanging
 part of the scritp in located here :

 **
 SELECT NULL
 FROM hrel_fusion
 WHERE cod_rel = :b1
   AND dat_rel = :b2
   AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT NULL
   FROM primedi_enr2_temp_fusion
   WHERE primedi_enr2_temp_fusion.nodos_or =

 AND primedi_enr2_temp_fusion.code_logis =
 hrel_fusion.cod_rel
 AND primedi_enr2_temp_fusion.date_logis =
 hrel_fusion.dat_rel)

Yes, in your experience...and maybe most of the other lister's
experience...majority of the time its true...
That's because you people are the best DBAs I've seen...
Your experiences...10...15 years...some of you have a little over 3 years and are
already experts...
Of course a lot of other people are less skilled than you are...
But I am not sure if you represent the rest of the US DBAs...or if I represent the
rest of the 3rd world DBAs...
Again, as I have said...some peopler are just better than others...that's my
opinion...obviously, yours is a lot different than mine...

I don't know you, Joe, well enough to judge you.

$2.50 is simply because of the $ to Rupee PARITY RATIO  respective Cost of Living 
here in India.

Labor in India is NOT Cheap . It is Simply this ratio which gives the impression of 
being cheap. 

Also Outsourcers get to pay LESS because of the Current prevailing Work-to-Earnings 
monetary scenario existing in India.

Usually Tech. competence , for most , is at par amongst professionals irrespective of 
nationality .

The first fill up a non partitionned table and the second do the same into a partitionned table.
First times the second load ran very quickly : 1 min instead of 5 min (non partitionnned table).
But now since few days, the partitionned table filling take more than 1-2 hours ! yesterday it took 14 hours 
Any one has any clue ?

- Does it come from indexes ? should I drop them first ?

thank U Dennis,


I use local index, 
the script is still running (2hours now! instead of 10-20 min) and here is the statement in question (the script who used non-partionned table is already ended)

SELECT NULL
 FROM hrel_fusion
 WHERE cod_rel = :b1

 AND primedi_enr2_temp_fusion.date_logis = 
 hrel_fusion.dat_rel)
 FOR UPDATE



The explain plan show that hrel_fusion table is ACCESS BY LOCAL INDEX ROWID and primedi table used INDEX too.
When I looking at lock tables it show me 2 session locked :


SQL select session_id, oracle_username, object_name
 2 from v$locked_object lo, dba_objects o
 3 where lo.object_id = o.object_id
 4 ;


SESSION_ID ORACLE_USERNAME OBJECT_NAME

-Why are there 2 locks on this table even there only one session ?
- Yesterday I did gather_statitic on this table and it worked fine (12 min), should I do this each day ?

Philippe
 You aren't providing many details on which to base some guesses.
However, your statement brand new disks implies that you are adding
additional partitions to an existing table. Then, your statement should I
drop indexes implies that you have indexes on the partitioned table,
possibly global indexes. If you are continuing to grow a partitioned (or
non-partitioned) table than has indexes, then the load time will increase
because Oracle must integrate each new entry into the index, which will take
more time as the index grows. Take a look at local indexes. If I not
understood your situation correctly, please clarify your situation further.

Yesterday i posted a reply on this .. but did not reach.
Check if too much logging taking place. Avoid this with loading as
UNRECOVERABLE; Or else Presort the data on the index key to minimise
the use of Temp segment. As of now i am able to think of only these two.

Re: URGENT : sql*loader performance problem on partionned table

2003-09-03 Thread cornichepark
Hello

Did you check alert.log for any unusual messages? May be it is using lot of
rollback / archiving.

You can use unrecoverable option to load. You have not mentioned whether
you are using direct load or not.

Check if too many extents are getting allocated at runtime. That is
going to slow down the load.

Presorting data on indexed columns is another method to speeden up load.
This is likely to minimise the use of temp segment.

2003-09-03 Thread rgaffuri
1. by 'filling' are you doing inserts also? I see a 'FOR UPDATE' statement which 
implies that you are doing updates from with in a cursor. 
2. How many indexes do you have on this table?
3. Is anything else running at the same time? 
4. Are you doing your DML from with in a cursor. This is very slow. Try to do it all 
in SQL. 
5. Consider changing your not exists to 
Where NOT IN (SELECT /*+ hash_aj */ ...)
That can be faster if your sub-query is significantly less costly than your your outer 
query(its the opposite for exists). Wont necessarily help in your case. 
You can also eliminate the join with the 'in'. This can improve performance as well. 

Please post a subset of your batch script. Please format it so its readable. Ill look 
at it. Also please post how many rows are in each table. 

Ill see if I can find anything. I think the two locks on the same object are locks on 
seperate partitions. Not sure.

i dont think so. There is too much money in this. Odds are they will refine
their processes 'slowly' improve. Over a period of years they will be
better. Will it always be as good as the US? No, but it doesnt need to be.
Its cheap. This doesnt mean every IT job will dissapear, but there is a
contraction in the market and it is continueing..

Those manufacturing jobs sent to sweat shops never came back due to lack of
quality? No I dont think the IT market will dissapear, however, I think
wages will continue to decline at least for a while. Most of the jobs out
there these days are low paying, short temp jobs.

I disagree about the 'you get what you pay for'. I have been reviewing
in the past weeks code written both in Bangalore and in Paris, and in
both cases I have had to reach for my Prozac box. For what had been
written in France, it is the product of a big (US) consulting firm which
must have been retrospectively happy to change their name a couple of
years ago; note that it is in no way specific of them, I can exhibit
dreadful code from multiple sources. I can assure you that it was both
bad and expensive.
Concerning what you pay for, I believe that whatever you outsource is
far from being as cheap as it looks like; part of the problem is the
existence of a contract, part of the problem is indeed the developers,
part of the problem is that very few people can write decent specs -
because in any creative process, and software engineering is one, you
only converge towards the result through several iterations (just look
at famous manuscripts or Old Masters X-ray pictures), and that
interaction with end-users is essential.

Which means that I agree with the conclusion :-).

Its quite unfair for DBAs to blame their job loss/fear of job loss to DBAs
in India or some other countries with cheaper labor.
And to say that "you get what you pay for" or insinuating that cheaper
labor means less quality...is definitely out of line...
some people are just better than others...that's it...it has nothing
to do with geography or nationality...
some of the best DBAs...or IT professionals in general...are in fact
indians...
Point is its not the indians' fault jobs just come knocking at their
doors...
we all want better jobs and better pay...if it comes to me i'll grab
it no doubt... would I think about other DBAs who were taken off to accomodate
me? of course not. I have nothing to do with their decision to outsource...and
even if I stress myself worrying about it...can I do anything about it?
no...so, what do I do...I'd take advantage of course...
I've come to believe no one is indispensable...even if you've served
5, 10, 15 years in a company...there's always a reason to take you out
no matter how good you are...
And sometimes companies think...do I really need someone that good
and costs a lot more? or can we do with someone quite average but can get
the job done and costs a lot less?

like that after that number of syncs, most of the changes should be on disk?

Habit. The sync command is picked up by the scheduler
sched and may not be executed immediately.
With three sync calls, at least one goes through by the time
you are ready to type in shutdown or init

just to make me feel better)...

Does anyone remember the UNIX mantra of entering “sync; sync; sync”

Tanel,

It is 
more like 'two is company, three is a crowd'. The 'sync; sync; sync' was used in 
the days of yore when the disk controller was flaky and you had a few seconds of 
'think time' on your hand in between commands. As Hemant says, it became a habit 
which still dogs me after 19 years - I have my (younger) colleagues here asking 
'what is sync'?

This 
was far better than my initial days when we used 8" AC Floppy drives whose speed 
varied with the electricity supply frequency and we had to use a frequency meter 
to note down the frequency during a floppy recording. [Btw - the term 'floppy' 
came from this media which was a flexible plastic based magnetic disk enclosed 
in a flexible - floppy - cover. And there was a 5 1/4" version before it finally 
became the 3 1/2" 'firm' disk]. I also worked on card punch IBM machines with 64 
Kb RAM and 2 Mb (that right 2 MB!) system drives.

Now 
back to Oracle stuff before Jared bears down on us :)

John

  Hi!
  
  I've always wondered why 3 syncs. Is it 
  quaranteed, that after *exactly 3* syncs everything has been written to 
  disk? Or it more like that after that number of syncs, most of the changes 
  should be on disk? (sounds stupid)

  It's a superstition. Whole christian mithology is based on 
  the number 3. We have Holy Trinity, we have 3 places to go when we 
  transcend 
  into food for ants (paradise,purgatory, 
  and the place with great demos) , we have 3 layers of personality,

Title: Message



One thingI like about 'sync' is it will fail silently. i.e.., if 
you don't have privs, it will not complain but pretend that it completed 
successfully, which is correct, it completed successfully but didn't do 
anything.

Title: Re: URGENT!!! My 9i databases are not shutting down cleanly/cons



I think the reasoning falls somewhere between the utterly rational and the insanely superstitious...

Ive known people who would keep repeating sync until their fingers started tripping over one another, so I tend to see three syncs as the minimum. At least, thats how it was explained to me 20 years ago: by the time you type it in for the third time, the first one has done the job...

Go ahead, type in sync just once. I dare ya...

There seems to be a problem with consistent shutdowns in 9i 

Oracle 9i 64bit 

9.0.1.3.0 - infrastructure database that comes with the application server 
9.2.0.1.0 - that is the version of RDBMS we are running. 

Does anyone have problems shutting down their databases consistently with
9i?

Wait...and... wait... and  w.a.i.t

In our case, a lot of the problemwas 'supposed' to be a bug fixed 
in 9.2 (for a while it was EMN0 waking up... but now that error seems to have 
mysteriously disappeared)... oh and Oracle's position is... shutdown abort is a 
perfectly legitimate means of shutting down the database. So is just 
cycling the box but an option that I am comfortable with as a problem 
solution? NOT.

Id suggest throwing a couple ALTER SYSTEM CHECKPOINT commands just prior to the SHUTDOWN ABORT, to help speed up the subsequent STARTUP (and just to make me feel better)...

Does anyone remember the UNIX mantra of entering sync; sync; sync before halt? :-)

Hi,
We've applied this on NT4 and W2K servers running 81745 with no Oracle issues.
However, have seen 1 anomaly after this patch:
nbtstat against a remote server no longer shows the logged on user name.
This may have been a security improvement by design.
Note you can still use the freeware psloggedon to see who is logged on to a server 
(may require admin privs on the target).

Madhu,

If you are sure you are starting all the listeners, not just the default
listener but named listeners as well (if any). I would look into the
HPUX error next.  What is file or directory is it looking for? I would
examine the listener.ora closely and verify that the logging/tracing
directories exist and the appropriate permissions are in place.
Cross-check the listener.ora entries with the tnsnames.ora entries to
make sure someone hasn't accidentally updated either file with invalid
information.

2003-08-15 Thread Mladen Gogala
Several possibilities:

The host you specified in listener.ora does not exist or your machine is
unable 
to recognize it. That usually happens when hosts are known under many
nicknames
and, of course, the host recognizes only some of them.

You are trying to resolve  the hostname by using a name server
(/etc/nsswitch.conf) and
you don't have /etc/resolv.conf properly configured (at least nameserver
entry must
be configured).

So, figure out what's wrong with your network setup and put 127.0.0.1 in
listener.ora in 
the meantime. If that address is unreachable, then there is something
seriously wrong 
with your box.

to recognize it. That usually happens when hosts are known under many
nicknames
and, of course, the host recognizes only some of them.

You are trying to resolve  the hostname by using a name server
(/etc/nsswitch.conf) and
you don't have /etc/resolv.conf properly configured (at least nameserver
entry must
be configured).
So, figure out what's wrong with your network setup and put 127.0.0.1 in
listener.ora in 
the meantime. If that address is unreachable, then there is something
seriously wrong 
with your box.

Yeah, that host is always reachable. As for the telnet, I don't run that

The only time I have seen this is when the server process could not be
started because the database shared segment did not exist or an
executable that was pointed to in the TNS entry actually did not exist.
HP-UX error 2 is file not found so I think you are looking at the later
case.  It looks very much like you are trying to establish a dedicated

  I would be interested how other sites that rely on RMAN handle this 
issue.

I for one, don't use RMAN for that.  It's too much work.

There's a separate project for verifying backups. 

The databases I'm called on to duplicate have lately been 400-500
gigs, more than I want to pull from tape unless absolutely necesssary.

It's much faster to plug two servers into a gigabit switch and
copy the files across a private network at approx 100 gigabytes
per hour.

Robert - What I've done over the years is tie the creation of test 
databases
to backup verification. The old issue of how can you trust your backups
unless you've done a recovery. It has seemed that I get a request to build 
a
test database at about the right interval to periodically verify the 
backup.
It is nice to say that I would just periodically verify the backups, but
like most DBAs, there is always a more pressing task.
   With RMAN, I assumed that I would continue this practice. It has been a
pain, but I ended up with a method that works. The biggest problem is that
when the test database is recovered, it initially has the same name as the
production database, then I change the name.

RE: URGENT: Trying to duplicate database from cold backup - auxi

2003-08-14 Thread Jared . Still
No doubt about it, the old way is much easier.

I've had to do it often enough that I wrote some PL/SQL, SQL and Perl to 
more or less automate the generation of the scripts needed to mount
and unmount shares, copy files, generate the controlfile script and
open up the database.

Doing this with RMAN is prohibitively difficult. 

My reason for doing so was to get the experience needed to restore
an entire database to a new server should the old one fail, as it is
the same process.

 BTW, I just waited till afterhours brought the database down, copied 
 the file and cloned the easy way. 

I love RMAN, but truth be told, I still find the old manual method of
cloning a database to be easier somehow. Must be an old fogie.

   Okay, I'll bite. What do you mean about a separate project for verifying
backups. It reminds me of the ending to the movie Indiana Jones - we
have a team of top experts working on that, you know, the scene where
they're packing the ark away in an enormous warehouse.

  I would be interested how other sites that rely on RMAN handle this 
issue.

I for one, don't use RMAN for that.  It's too much work.

There's a separate project for verifying backups. 

The databases I'm called on to duplicate have lately been 400-500
gigs, more than I want to pull from tape unless absolutely necesssary.

It's much faster to plug two servers into a gigabit switch and
copy the files across a private network at approx 100 gigabytes
per hour.

Robert - What I've done over the years is tie the creation of test 
databases
to backup verification. The old issue of how can you trust your backups
unless you've done a recovery. It has seemed that I get a request to build 
a
test database at about the right interval to periodically verify the 
backup.
It is nice to say that I would just periodically verify the backups, but
like most DBAs, there is always a more pressing task.
   With RMAN, I assumed that I would continue this practice. It has been a
pain, but I ended up with a method that works. The biggest problem is that

production database, then I change the name.

Re: URGENT: Trying to duplicate database from cold backup - auxi

2003-08-14 Thread Tanel Poder
Hi!

One of the fastest and most reliable ways to verify backups is to look into
the safe (or drawer) and check whether the tapes are still there. It doesn't
waste much IO bandwidth either, except a little in the path from your desk
to the location of tapes. Only very little CPU processing is needed,
especially when Async IO is available (= a junior DBA whom to send to
check). You can verify virtually terabytes of any backups in less than a
second using this proven method.

Ok, time to go to sleep now, it's 2:21 AM here...
