and loading happens almost every time  except at night . and while loading
data loading  updataion and deletion happens frequently .Please help  me in

2003-07-30 Thread A.Bahar
  I use manual managed undo tablespace but there are some system named rollback 
segments on that
tablespace  ( I did not created them  )  and they can not be dropped.
  What are they , how can I drop them.

The scenario you describe is not consistent with manual undo. Was the database 
created/started with automatic undo and you have switched to manual?

Re: undo tablespace and rollback segments in oracle9i

2003-07-30 Thread Daniel Fink
If you are now running in manual undo mode and have created rollback segments, you can 
remove the undo segments. Verify that the segments are offline and you are not using 
them. Then drop the undo tablespace. This is the only way to get rid of them.

Your attachment was removed by the list server. 
However, your direct e-mail to me had the following:

7 rows selected.

So, it is clear that RBSnn were created in an undo tablespace titled RBS. 

To remove system managed undo segments (_SYSSMUn$) one must drop the undo tablespace 
itself. 

But, in your case, you will first have to:
1. Create a new, normal tablespace, say, rollback_ts, to hold new rollback segments 
(do not create
it using create undo tablespace )
2. Create required rollback segments (rbs07, rbs08 etc) in rollback_ts. 
3. Bring them all online.
4. Offline RBS01 to RBS06 and drop them. 
5. Drop tablespace RBS. 

Modify init.ora parameter as required. 

Hope this helps.

Undo Tablespace vs Rollback segments

2003-07-18 Thread Keith Moore
Can anyone point me to an article or white paper that goes into detail on
this. When I RTFM, it just says use Undo TBS, don't worrry about it and all
your problems will be solved.

We are upgrading from Oracle8 to 9i and currently have Rollback segments in
4 tablespaces spread over 4 disks. It looks like you can specify multiple
data files, but I can't find anything on how they would be used. I know that
striping would spread the load, but that is not an option.

Thanks,

this was an RMAN backup and DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS(...) which was being run on 
the same schema being backed up via the user level export. There was no other end user

Steve,
 You may have to dig a little further...  
 What happened to those table(s) in that schema prior to starting the export? Heavy 
DML, may be?
 
 This could be a case of 'delayed block cleanout'. Export triggered the cleanout and 
wanted to
access the rollback segments. 

 If no table data was modified after export started reading that table, then there is 
no need to
read RBS info (except for the DBC case, IMO).

RE: exp, dbms_stats, RMAN and rollback segments

2003-05-30 Thread Orr, Steve
Hi Kirti,

Sounds like you have the same suspicions as do we. So far as we know there isn't any 
heavy duty DML before the export and there isn't any other activity on the schema 
other than RMAN and DBMS_STATS. We don't understand how RMAN or DBMS_STATS ***could*** 
be the culprit but we've seen WEIRDNESS before.

We host our webapp and upgrades are customer driven. (Shivers and shudders!) Upgrades 
often entail database changes so the application shuts out end user access and kicks 
off an export before changing tables, munging data, updating the code, etc. This 
process has been fairly automagic and the export went along about 5 minutes before it 
crapped out. The only known difference between this upgrade run and other successful 
ones is that dbms_stats was running. So now I've copied the data into our test 
environment in an effort to duplicate the error and walk through our code. Luckily 
it's not written in Perl so it won't be too hard to read. :-)

Also, Walt found some delayed block cleanout issues on Metalink associated with 
analyzing indexes. The DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS(...) routine in question is using 
the cascade option so I'm beginning to smell smoke. There are a few docs on Metalink 
about how ORA-01555's can occur even when NO updates are being performed but 
statistics are being gathered. WEIRDNESS!! See DocID's 367016.995; 17730.996; 45895.1; 
89633.996; 61552.1. UNFORTUNATELY... the solutions proposed are not very appealing. 

Meanwhile we're trying to convince others that Oracle is better than MySQL even though 
MySQL continuously updates its optimizer statistics and doesn't have problems like 
this.  :-(  And proposing a blockout period when customers are not allowed to upgrade 
while maintenance operations are going on would not be very well received. Especially 
since it's not an issue with MySQL and how we keep talking about how Oracle is a 
better 24X7 solution for our 24X7 webapp. Arghh!

Big sigh while contemplating a lot of tedious work and getting nowhere... And I had to 
get up at 2:30 A.M. this morning to help fix the outage. 

Whine, whine, whine...
Steve

RE: exp, dbms_stats, RMAN and rollback segments

2003-05-30 Thread MacGregor, Ian A.
When one runs dbms_stats how often is the data committed?  Before Oracle exports a 
table it needs to gather information about it such as the columns comprising it.  I 
wonder if this information also includes data changed by dbms_stats and/or RMAN.

We used to have similar problems when exporting while an application was doing quite a 
few drop tables and CTAS's.  However that pretty much went away with 8.1.7.

A certain alignment of the planets occurred creating a good ole ORA-01555 error... A 
user level export received the snapshot too old error and terminated. Concurrent to 
this was an RMAN backup and DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS(...) which was being run on 
the same schema being backed up via the user level export. There was no other end user 
access to the schema data. Since exp got the error I assume it was reading from the 
rollback segments but why? I'm suspecting dbms_stats. We have ample RBS. Is there any

RE: Rollback Segments on 8.1.7.4

2003-03-11 Thread Kevin Lange
I will have to check your question on 'fewer sorts'.   

As far as changes to the SQL statements, there were 1 or 2 sql statements
changed in the application because they no longer worked efficiently with
the change to 8.1.7.  But, on the whole (lets say 98%+ of the time) no
changes were made.

-Original Message-
Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 5:39 PM

Did any of the rollback segment storage parameters (i.e. INITIAL, NEXT,
PCTINCREASE, MINEXTENTS, MAXEXTENTS, OPTIMAL) or the number of rollback
segments change between 8.0.5 and 8.1.7?  Changes to any of these variables
could impact the space available for storing inactive undo blocks for
read-consistency purposes.

If the answer is of course not, then here comes the harder question:  did
the SQL statements change between 8.0.5 and 8.1.7?  Not just outright
different SQL statements, but even the same SQL statements running with
different execution plans?  For example, changing explain plans so that
SORT-MERGE join is no longer use could have significant impact on ORA-01555,
as forcing sorts are one way to minimize SNAPSHOT TOO OLD.  Having queries
run faster is another way to minimize ORA-01555, so getting rid of
SORT-MERGE joins will likely help, but if the performance improvements
aren't good enough, then the conversion to HASH or NESTED LOOP joins may
allow more ORA-01555 to occur.  Have you noticed fewer sorts occurring since
8.0.5?

Just some ideas...

Kevin,
The ORA-01555 errors are almost certainly symptoms, not the actual 
problem. It has been a few years since I tested an 8.0.x db, but I do 
not recall seeing any changes in rollback segments from 7.3 to 8.1.
Have you converted from Dictionary to Locally managed RBS 
tablespaces? When you upgraded, did you change any of the settings, like 
OPTIMAL, for the rollback segments? Were they dropped and recreated or 
upgraded inline?

import and rollback segments

2002-12-20 Thread Leonard, George
Hi all

Can a person somehow force a import process to use a specific rollback
segment. I got a live system with many smallish segments, the dump file is
about 20 GB and take just over 12 hours to process but it requires a big
rollback segment.

I don't want to offline the small once so that only a big one is online
since this causes problems with the day to day operation of the client
systems.

Ideas.

Re: import and rollback segments

2002-12-20 Thread Rick_Cale

If you cannot take the small ones offline, I do not think you can force to
use a particular RBS.
You could possible create multiple large RBS then take smaller ones offline
then import. After completion put smaller ones online.
You can try commit=y to commit after each buffer instead of each object.
Use a larger BUFFER size on import to reduce round trips to
export file.

Perhaps others have some tricks

I am going with the commit=y it seems the best option since I am already

This way I don't need to do anything with my current rollbacks.

Thx for the feedback

PS: can not remember now who it is but someone on this group wrote a new

   Unfortunately these sizes are fixed, and based on your level of
   license with Oracle Corp.  If you need to increase the size of your
   datafiles or rollback segments, you must contact your Oracle sales
   representative and request additional power units.
  
   If you find that you run in a dynamic enough environment, you may
 
  wish
 
   to upgrade to a more sophisticated database system such as MS SQL
   Server or Filemaker Pro, both of which allow dynamic resizing.

Re: Increase size of data files and rollback segments

2002-12-11 Thread Yechiel Adar
From bitter experience:

Do not allow your datafile to autoextend across 4GB boundary.
There is a bug that cause this datafile to be unusable.
We had an all night session after this bug hit us.
We had to call Oracle to come with the DUL utility to
recover the data.

Now we define our datafiles to be 1900MB each.
Also each tablespace has an extra datafile with 200MB size
with autoextend up to 1900MB.

Our checks check that each tablespace has datafile with 200MB size.
If not we get an alert and check the situation.

 David,

 As a start, look up the following commands in the SQL Reference guide:

 alter database datafile 'C:\ORADATA\fred\DAT_LARGE_01.dbf' autoextend on
maxsize 20480M;
 Read up on the implications of autoextend and whether you want it

 alter database datafile 'C:\ORADATA\fred\DAT_LARGE_01.dbf' resize 10240M;

 For rollback datafile - same as any other datafile, eg:
 alter database datafile 'C:\ORADATA\fred\ROLLBACK1.DBF' autoextend on
maxsize 10240M;

 You may then need to add another rollback segment or increase the max
extents of an existing one.  eg to add another rollback segment:
 CREATE PUBLIC ROLLBACK SEGMENT r09_big
TABLESPACE rollback
STORAGE
( minextents 20
  INITIAL 10M
  NEXT 10M
  MAXEXTENTS UNLIMITED)

 (you would then need to bring this online - eg alter rollback segment
r09_big online;)


 For tempfile (ie LMT temporary tablespaces):
 alter database tempfile 'C:\ORADATA\fred\TEMP1.dbf' autoextend on maxsize
10240M;

 Remember - don't use the exact sizes I've shown - alter to suit your case
(these were part of a huge load into a new test system)


 Hope this helps (and willing to learn if some of the above could be
improved).

I think the 4Gb limit is confined to a handfull of older operating

Re: Increase size of data files and rollback segments

2002-12-11 Thread Yechiel Adar
Hello Jeremiah

I did some research on metalink and it says:

1) Do not use datafiles more then 4GB on NT systems.
2) There  is a bug on NT, W2K that if you resize datafile (direct command or
autoextend) to 4GB boundary, i.e 4,8,12, then there are two conditions:
2.1) No archive log - database crashes but you can start again and resize
the datafiles.
2.2) Archive log - restore and regenerate to a point in time prior before
the resize.
 This bug was reported also on 9.2.

The work around is to resize to 4.1, 8.1 GB datafiles.

Bug number 1668488.

RE: Increase size of data files and rollback segments

2002-12-11 Thread Reardon, Bruce (CALBBAY)
Yechiel,

Thanks for pointing out the potential issues with autoextending onto an exact 4 Gb 
boundary (as I forgot to include them).

Reading the bug you referenced (at 
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=BUGp_id=1668488)
it says:
...
Does not reproduce on 8.1.7 Sun Solaris. 
...
Rediscovery Information:  Resize a datafile file to [exactly] 4GB, 8G, 12G, 16G, etc.
After resizing a datafile to 4G, alter system checkpoint was failing with ORA-27069
...
This fix is in 8.1.7.4.1 and 9.0.1.4.0 but not in 9.2.0.2.1

I am on 8.1.7.4.5 and so am not affected by this issue - I can't remember the version 
the original poster was on.

Anyone using 817x may also want to check note 120607.1 
(http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOTp_id=120607.1)
titled Support Status and Alerts for Oracle8i Release 3 (8.1.7.X) for information on 
this and other issues.

This refers you to Note 148894.1 
(http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=Notid=148894.1)
titled ALERT: Problems with Datafile AUTOEXTEND/RESIZE on Oracle8i on NT/2000 
Platforms

This contains the information ...  A fix is now available in 8.1.7.1.4 Bug.1823173 
and will be included in8.1.7.3 BUG.1794199 ...

For general Oracle information on 2Gb files see 
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_id=62427.1p_database_id=NOT

I hope this helps.

If you find that you run in a dynamic enough environment, you may wish

RE: Increase size of data files and rollback segments

David,

If my three year old said that, he'd be on the step immediately. Jeremiah
has helped a lot of people on this list. The point is that you need to take
a certain amount of responsibility to do some research before posting a
question (i.e. metalink, tahiti.com, ...). Also, all answers should be
checked out. All obvious points (I hope). Now please take a deep breath and
try again.

Unfortunately these sizes are fixed, and based on your level of
license with Oracle Corp.  If you need to increase the size of your
datafiles or rollback segments, you must contact your Oracle sales
representative and request additional power units.

If you find that you run in a dynamic enough environment, you may wish
to upgrade to a more sophisticated database system such as MS SQL
Server or Filemaker Pro, both of which allow dynamic resizing.

RE: Increase size of data files and rollback segments

2002-12-10 Thread Rachel Carmichael
David,

Wrong. we very much welcome Jeremiah here. He has helped countless
people on this list, and if he on occasion chooses to make a joke (as
do we all), then so be it.

He was a good deal gentler and nicer than my first thought, which was
to tell you to read the fine manual before asking basic questions.

Many of us spend a LOT of time on this list, helping others. It is very
discouraging though to continually get questions that can be answered
by a very simple read of the manuals. I suggest that in the future, you
attempt to investigate a problem yourself before asking a question.
Besides the fact that you will learn much more by doing your own
research, you will not annoy the members of the list who try to help.

Re: Increase size of data files and rollback segments

2002-12-10 Thread Yechiel Adar
I welcome David input always, especially when he is yanking the leg of
someone who did not troubled himself to open the SQL manual and look at
obvious commands like alter rollback segment and alter tablespace.

I liked his answer.

BTW, Please do not tell ANYONE on this list to shut up.
It is bad behavior and, believe me, you need those guys the same as me.

 Unfortunately these sizes are fixed, and based on your level of
 license with Oracle Corp.  If you need to increase the size of your
 datafiles or rollback segments, you must contact your Oracle sales
 representative and request additional power units.

 If you find that you run in a dynamic enough environment, you may wish
 to upgrade to a more sophisticated database system such as MS SQL
 Server or Filemaker Pro, both of which allow dynamic resizing.

RE: Increase size of data files and rollback segments

2002-12-10 Thread Jeremy Pulcifer
Title: RE: Increase size of data files and rollback segments





 From: Nguyen, David M [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
 
 Alright guys, just because you know Jeremiah better than me 
 so you can take
 his joke.


I have no idea who Jeremiah is from Adam, and I got the joke. Hell, I nearly flamed you myself, and I'm just a lowly developer.

 My apology to him as I did not recognize it was a 
 joke, however
 when I am asking for help from the group, I am in a situation 
 to resolve
 problem ASAP and hope to find a answer not a joke.


The problem is that if enough people like you refuse to RTFM, then no one will want to answer questions because it'll be duller'n your resume.

 If you were in my situation, you would understand.


I've been in your situation, and been damned ashamed of myself for not having researched the question first. It ain't all that hard...




RE: Increase size of data files and rollback segments

2002-12-10 Thread Reardon, Bruce (CALBBAY)
David,

As a start, look up the following commands in the SQL Reference guide:

alter database datafile 'C:\ORADATA\fred\DAT_LARGE_01.dbf' autoextend on maxsize 
20480M;
Read up on the implications of autoextend and whether you want it

alter database datafile 'C:\ORADATA\fred\DAT_LARGE_01.dbf' resize 10240M;

For rollback datafile - same as any other datafile, eg:
alter database datafile 'C:\ORADATA\fred\ROLLBACK1.DBF' autoextend on maxsize 10240M;

You may then need to add another rollback segment or increase the max extents of an 
existing one.  eg to add another rollback segment:
CREATE PUBLIC ROLLBACK SEGMENT r09_big
   TABLESPACE rollback
   STORAGE
   ( minextents 20
 INITIAL 10M
 NEXT 10M
 MAXEXTENTS UNLIMITED)

(you would then need to bring this online - eg alter rollback segment r09_big 
online;)


For tempfile (ie LMT temporary tablespaces):
alter database tempfile 'C:\ORADATA\fred\TEMP1.dbf' autoextend on maxsize 10240M;

Remember - don't use the exact sizes I've shown - alter to suit your case (these were 
part of a huge load into a new test system)


Hope this helps (and willing to learn if some of the above could be improved).

Regards,
Bruce

Unfortunately these sizes are fixed, and based on your level of
license with Oracle Corp.  If you need to increase the size of your
datafiles or rollback segments, you must contact your Oracle sales
representative and request additional power units.

If you find that you run in a dynamic enough environment, you may wish
to upgrade to a more sophisticated database system such as MS SQL
Server or Filemaker Pro, both of which allow dynamic resizing.

Re: How are rollback segments assigned?

2002-11-26 Thread Rajesh . Rao

Thanks Jared, thats not what I see. I have 20 rollback segments, and at no
point in time, there were more than
4 transactions in the rollback segments. In fact, I happened to see it a
couple of minutes ago.

select usn, xacts from v$rollstat showed me 0 in 19 rollback segments, and
2 in one of them. And I have got alerts in place
to alert me when there are more than 4 transactions in all of the rollback
segments. And yeah, the rollback segments
are online.

Remains a mystery to me.

Hello Friends,

Oracle Parallel Server 8.0.6.2.0 on Solaris 2.6 Nodes

We were having some locking and rollback issues, and I set up some scripts
to alert me in case there are more than 4 transactions in the rollback
segments, and more than 1 in any of the rollback segments.

Select sum(xacts) from v$rollstat  --- Alert if more than 4, condition set
to exclude system rollback
where usn != 0

Select count(*) from v$rollstat  --- Alert if more than 0, where
condition to exclude system rollback
where xacts =2
andusn != 0

We have 20 rollback segments, and there is very minimal DML activity on
this database. I happened to see a scenario where all rollback segments
had
0 transactions, except for one which had 2 in them. Under what scenario,
can this happen?

I thought the criteria for assigning rollback segments to transactions was
1. If object in system tablespace, use system rolback segment
2. Use the one with the least number of active transactions
3. If 2 or more rollback segments fit the second criteria, use the LRU
algorithm.

Thanks
Raj

RE: How are rollback segments assigned?

2002-11-26 Thread Cary Millsap
Exactly. A guy might have to poll V$ROLLSTAT 100+ times per second to
see the allocations happening on a system with well-designed
transactions. You just can't do that with SQL.

Raj, you *can* test the behavior by using some artificially *bad*
transactions. On a quiescent system (nothing else running) with n
rollback segments, open n+1 sqlplus sessions. In each session, update a
row but don't commit. After each session's update, look at V$ROLLSTAT. 

To the best of my knowledge, the assignment algorithm has always been to
assign a new txn to the segment with the smallest number of active txns
in it. There are of course lots of ties (e.g., lots of segments might
have 0 active txns in them). The tie-breaker in v6 was to assign in
round-robin order (as the segments are listed in the init.ora file). In
v7, the tie-breaker algorithm apparently changed to choose the segment
that is listed earliest in the init.ora file. I don't know whether it
changed again in 8 or 9. You'll know if you do the test.

this database. I happened to see a scenario where all rollback segments
had
0 transactions, except for one which had 2 in them. Under what scenario,
can this happen?

I thought the criteria for assigning rollback segments to transactions
was
1. If object in system tablespace, use system rolback segment
2. Use the one with the least number of active transactions
3. If 2 or more rollback segments fit the second criteria, use the LRU
algorithm.

How are rollback segments assigned?

2002-11-25 Thread Rajesh . Rao
Hello Friends,

Oracle Parallel Server 8.0.6.2.0 on Solaris 2.6 Nodes

We were having some locking and rollback issues, and I set up some scripts
to alert me in case there are more than 4 transactions in the rollback
segments, and more than 1 in any of the rollback segments.

Select sum(xacts) from v$rollstat  --- Alert if more than 4, condition set
to exclude system rollback
where usn != 0

Select count(*) from v$rollstat  --- Alert if more than 0, where
condition to exclude system rollback
where xacts =2

Re: How are rollback segments assigned?

2002-11-25 Thread Jared . Still
Here's one scenario:

4 transactions, 2 rollback segs

tx 1 - rbs1
tx 2 - rbs 2
tx 3  - rbs 1
tx 4 - rbs 2

tx1 and tx3 finish.

tx2 and tx4 have not yet committed.

Unsetting OPTIMAL in rollback segments

2002-05-15 Thread Cherie_Machler


We are getting the following error in our alert log for a database where we
are doing some unusually large transactions:

Wed May 15 03:26:22 2002
Failure to extend rollback segment 27 because of 1581 condition
FULL status of rollback segment 27 set.


On Metalink I've found a couple of references to bug 228441.   Following is
one such reference.   Sounds like one part of the work-around is to unset
OPTIMAL which we do currently have set.   I've looked through the docs and
Metalink.   I do see text for altering the OPTIMAL value but I don't see
any reference to unsetting OPTIMAL.   Is there a way to unset optimal in
rollback segments that are currently online?   Or do I have to create a
bunch of new rollback segments from scratch without OPTIMAL specified and
then roll them in and roll out the existing rollback segments.

 Hi,   
  
   
  
 The ORA-01581 is not

228441 has 
 an explanation of why 
it can
 happen.   
  
 This can happen when 
we are
 trying to extend a 
rollback

extend the   
 rollback segment when 
we cannot 
 wrap into the next 
extent and   
 we are near the end

 current extent. When 
we try to  
 allocate the new 
extent we  
 generate undo, in 
addition, 
 space management may 
generate   
 undo to do a 
coalesce. If the   
 amount of undo we 
generate  
 cannot fit in the 
current   
 extent we will get a 
1581 as we 
 are now trying to use 
the   
 extent that we are 
trying to
 add. 
  
   
  
 Suggestions for 
resolving the   
 problems are to make 
the
 INITIAL EXTENTS a 
large number  
 ( maybe even set 
minextents =   
 maxextents), and 
unset OPTIMAL

Since you cannot predict who might need to generate consistent

from the RBS in the FUTURE, you cannot predict if you will cause

Your best bet is to get rid of people bloating up RBSs by
  limiting
their growth, and enforcing the use of smaller transactions. 
  That way
you won't have to shrink so much.

Hi Glenn and list:

As you mentioned, even if noone is reading from rollback at the time
all transactions commit, a query may be executing which will access rollback
later in its current run (which started prior to the commit).

If you're under Oracle 7 or 8.0, I think that you could set
delayed_logging_block_cleanouts=FALSE (to make sure that the next reader
will do the cleanout), and execute a FTS on the table after the commit, this
would make all the block cleanouts for you. This way you can be sure that
noone will need to read this RBS blocks for a cleanout operation.

 Plse, correct me if I'm wrong.

The delayed_logging_block_cleanouts parameter does not force or

 Tell me if I'm off on this...

 Users will not read from the rollback segment unless they need
 read-consistent data due to an open transaction against the data
 they are looking for (thus reading the redo or undo info from
 rollback).  Otherwise they read from the data segments (committed
 data).

 Oracle will not shrink the rollback segment if it contains open
 transactions.

 So, if there are no users reading from rollback and I issue a
 'shrink' command, and it works, then the transactions are complete
 and any user coming in after that will read from the data
   segments.

 If there are no users reading from rollback and I issue a 'shrink'
 command, and it DOES NOT work, then the transactions are NOT
 complete and any user coming in after that will read from the
 rollback segments (the data is still there).

 If there ARE users reading from rollback and I issue a 'shrink'
 command, and it works, then users run the risk of getting
   ORA-01555
 (the data MAY be gone).  Which is exactly why I asked my original
 question (How do I identify READERS of the rollback
   segments?) :)

Re: Users reading from rollback segments

2002-02-27 Thread Diego Cutrone

Jeremiah :
What I meant was that the delayed_logging_block_cleanouts parameter
(=FALSE) will make the next reader of the block to cleanout that block.
Now, if this parameter's value is TRUE (default in Oracle 7 and 8.0) the
next reader will NOT clean out the block  (it will read the rollback segment
and generate the appropiate block image but it will not clean the block
out).
The delayed logging block clean out feature delays the redo for the
cleanout blocks until it could be logged in combination with another redo
for another change to the block.

So if you have this parameter set in TRUE the block clean out will be
made only when you'll make another change to these blocks.

According to what Glenn was saying:
  As you mentioned, even if noone is reading from rollback at the
time
  all transactions commit, a query may be executing which will access
rollback
  later in its current run (which started prior to the commit).

I think that there's a way you can be sure that noone will need to read some
RBS blocks for a cleanout operation.

 The delayed_logging_block_cleanouts parameter does not force or
 suppress cleanouts.  It just makes any cleanouts that do occur get
 logged as redo entries.

Jeremiah is correct.  In addition, rollback segments are read as
part
of the delayed block cleanout process, and it's not possible
to predict
that, either.

 I suppose if you could determine that the age of all undo entries
in
 the portion of RBS that you will obliterate through shrinking are
 older than any query currently running in the database, then you
 could
 be sure that the shrink will not cause an ORA-01555.

 But the flaw in your logic is believing that once
committed, rollback
 entries will not be needed for read consistency.  They very
well may.

 Because a query doesn't know what rollback entries it may need
 further
 down the road, you can't predict if your shrink will obliterate
undo
 entries that a long-running query might need in the future.
 You keep
 asking if we can tell who is reading the rollback segments.  The
 answer is that it doesn't matter.  What you really need to ask is
if
 we can tell who will need to read the rollback segments sometime
 soon.
 And you can't.

Thanks for the replies.  I have all sorts of neat queries (which I can post)
which show me gobs of information about my rollback segments (sizes,
extents, optimal, shrinks, active transactions, block used by those
transcations, ad infinitum...).

HOWEVER, I still cannot find an answer to my original question; Is there a
way to tell if anyone is reading from the rollback segments? 

Readers do not open transactions, correct?  So they will not show up on the
queries most of us are running against v$rollxxx and v$transaction.  Where
can I find out of someone is using the undo info in the rollbacks for read
consistency?  In other words, how do I find the readers (from rollback, not
from the tables themselves)?

I do not want to issue a shrink (and thus risk a ORA-01555) if people are
still using the rollback for read consistency.

To answer another reply's question:  I am shrinking the rollbacks right
before I run a large batch job, so as to give the job the maximum amount of
space in the rollback tablespace.  (I cannot utilize 'set transaction use
...' as this is an Oracle Apps job which  actually does many transactions
(re: purges)).

RE: Users reading from rollback segments

2002-02-26 Thread Glenn Travis

XACTS is the NUMBER of active transactions in the rollback segment.  0 or  0.  
However, I am not looking for transactions, I am looking for queries reading from the 
rollback space for read consistency purposes.

I found an answer to my second question and it is NO.  You can take the rollback 
segment offline and it will succeed if it is being used.  It will just go into an 
'OFFLINE PENDING' state until all users are out.  So I don't think I can use this 
logic.  Question: How does Oracle know it is in 'use'?  What does in 'use' mean?  
Active transactions plus readers?  I would not think Oracle would take a rollback 
segment offline if users are reading from it (this doesn't necessarily mean they are 
holding active transactions).  So if Oracle knows it is 'in use', how can I get that 
info too?

Re: Users reading from rollback segments

2002-02-26 Thread Jeremiah Wilton

Since you cannot predict who might need to generate consistent reads
from the RBS in the FUTURE, you cannot predict if you will cause
ORA-01555 or not by shrinking.

Your best bet is to get rid of people bloating up RBSs by limiting
their growth, and enforcing the use of smaller transactions.  That way
you won't have to shrink so much.

RE: Users reading from rollback segments

2002-02-26 Thread Jeremiah Wilton

People also obtain read consistency data from the rollback segments
after transactions have committed.  If a query began before someone
else's transaction committed, but continues reading, then needs the
reconstruct the data from before the commit, in needs rollback data
that is both committed and impossible to predict.

I suppose if you could determine that the age of all undo entries in
the portion of RBS that you will obliterate through shrinking are
older than any query currently running in the database, then you could
be sure that the shrink will not cause an ORA-01555.

But the flaw in your logic is believing that once committed, rollback
entries will not be needed for read consistency.  They very well may.

Because a query doesn't know what rollback entries it may need further
down the road, you can't predict if your shrink will obliterate undo
entries that a long-running query might need in the future.  You keep
asking if we can tell who is reading the rollback segments.  The
answer is that it doesn't matter.  What you really need to ask is if
we can tell who will need to read the rollback segments sometime soon.
And you can't.

RE: Users reading from rollback segments

2002-02-26 Thread John Kanagaraj

Glenn,

An approximation of what you require *may* be worked out this way:

1. Snoop v$session_wait for all events that start with 'db file%' and see if
P1 is in a list of data files that belongs to the RBS tablespace(s). If you
do see sessions that have P1s indicating RBS files, then you *may* be
reading Rollback. It is not necessarily on the older entries, but see below:
2. Track the start time of that Query from the SID - using V$SESSION and
V$PROCESS. If the start time is reasonably old, then you *may* have an
issue, as ORA-01555 errors can be expected for those queries that started
*before* the entry you are going to zap via shrink was made.

I have successfully used P1 and P2 to indicate the progress of a long
running query by working out the segments being accessed and matching that
with an EXPLAIN PLAN. This is especially useful if multiple table joins are
involved.

Jeremiah is correct.  In addition, rollback segments are read as part
of the delayed block cleanout process, and it's not possible to predict
that, either.

And I'm sitting at my (the) oaktable right now thinking about a few things
Jonathan Lewis said an hour ago, sorrounded by good whiskies brought in by
Kyle Hailey and Connor McDonald and Jonathan. We still have a few seats available
for his Master Class on Monday. You're of course all invited to attend for
free and stay in my house... Now let's move a few decades forward, to other
great products:

Does anyone remember the Oracle Card product? Sure, some do. Now, how many
ever saw the email variant of Oracle Card? Do you know what it was called
(and I'm not kidding)? Oracle PostCard. Yep. It was probably the first product
to handle LONG RAW's. Went out of production so fast you wouldn't beleive
it. Pretty much before it went into production.

Or how about Oracle Visuelle or whatever it was called? Remember the user
group meeting in Paris or Brussels in the late 80's where Larry proudly presented
it? I guess it later became Oracle Graphics Anyway, a friend of mine
- Mogens Egan - and I stole the EOUG flag (took it down from the pole outside
the conference center) and used it for the Danish user group meetings for
a while. I wonder where it is now. It carried this cube with Europe on.

2002-02-21 Thread Bjørn Engsig

Bambi,

HLI and OCI - that reminds me of another nice one from the dark ages.  Some 
of you around here, who consider yourself old in terms of Oracle may 
remember, the oci call osql3(), which was later superceeded by oparse() 
(version 6/7-ish, I think).  Well, the reason for the old call being called 
osql3() was that it was new with version 3!  In version two, osql() was 
found, but it was limited to 6000 bytes of SQL statement text, where osql3() 
made it possible to go to to 64k.

Rgds, Bjørn.

 There must be somebody beside myself remembering version 3, which did not

 UFI insert into emp select * from emp;

 would cause anything from having 28 rows in emp till having and endless

RE: Rollback Segments

2002-02-19 Thread Grabowy, Chris

Actually, the Hercules graphics is able to generate graphics.  I had to
settle for Hercules since I could not afford a color monitor(using a CGA
card) back then.  So I looked for games, etc. that had a Hercules graphics
mode.  And, Hercules used twice the amount of pixels then CGA did, so I was
able to find emulation software that allowed me to play CGA color games on
my Hercules card.  It replaced the limited CGA color pallete with patterns
on the amber monitor.

Sigh.  The good old days...

Bjorn, you old coot, you've got me beat.  I do remember the UFI prompt
though... User Friendly Interface... and the real geeks would program
their own SQL*Plus environment using HLI (now OCI) with the OROL option
which would allow the rollback of a single statement rather than a whole
transaction.  Now, in my day, we had fire but we had to make our own coal
and we kept warm on the hides of old terminals that used to roam the plains.
What were things like in your day?

RE: Rollback Segments

2002-02-19 Thread Bellows, Bambi

SQL*Menu wasn't around in V5.  IAP/IAG were there, and IAD came out in v5.1
(it was the first of the SQL*Forms).  RPT/RPF were there too.  And there was
something called SQL*Calc which I never used (cuz you could do anything you
wanted off of the DUAL table, so why bother with anything else).  Now, in
IAP, you could put in a %SW in the middle of the questions and IAG, while it
was generating, would stop and ask you questions interactively until you
entered %SW to have it return to the script.  It was a handy way to add
fields.  User exits were the other big change with v5.1.  Prior to that, you
could specify any procedure of a C program linked with the form; afterwards,
you had to use IAPXIT.

Well, enough talking about the good old days.  I'm off to do an applications
upgrade on a production machine.  See you some time next week.  ;)

And there were about 14 enqueue/locks in Oracle Version 5 as far as I can
remember.

I remember the joys of Version 3.  There was also the fun screen generator
program where you had to decide where everything was going by using its
character position and you had to enter that by hand.  The first pass at
most screens was interesting.  One of the users referred to UFI as User

Bjorn, you old coot, you've got me beat.  I do remember the UFI prompt
though... User Friendly Interface... and the real geeks would program
their own SQL*Plus environment using HLI (now OCI) with the OROL option
which would allow the rollback of a single statement rather than a whole
transaction.  Now, in my day, we had fire but we had to make our own coal

There must be somebody beside myself remembering version 3, which did not 
have read consistency - the great new feature of version 4.  In 3, doing

UFI insert into emp select * from emp;

would cause anything from having 28 rows in emp till having and endless loop

in the kernel only finishing when your database file ran full...

Yep - we are some old bitter men around here...

I had a Hercules card too.  I needed it to play some RPG game.  Funny how

And then, of course the VT2xx series came out with its amber and everything

Actually, the Hercules graphics is able to generate graphics.  I had to
settle for Hercules since I could not afford a color monitor(using a CGA
card) back then.  So I looked for games, etc. that had a Hercules graphics
mode.  And, Hercules used twice the amount of pixels then CGA did, so I was
able to find emulation software that allowed me to play CGA color games on
my Hercules card.  It replaced the limited CGA color pallete with patterns
on the amber monitor.

new Hercules card!  I had such fun running stupid little programs that would
make a globe turn, not to mention being able to type in Arabic and see it on

Arabic.)

Before that ... well, it was Intel MDS and Isis, and Computer Automation,

haven't existed for a realy long time now...  We had block printers!
Remember those?

Rollback Segments

2002-02-18 Thread Witold Iwaniec

Hello DBAs

Is there a command that tells me which rollback segment is being 
used by current transaction?
Also, can you force a session to use particular rollback segment? I 
have used in the past the command:

set transaction use rollback segment rbs_01 

but the named rollback segment seemed to be used until the end of 
tranasction. After a commit or rollback a different rollback segment 
could have been used by Oracle. I wonder if there is a way to make 
sure that once a user logs in, a particular rollback segment is used.

Thanks

Witold

Re: Rollback Segments

Hi Witold,

This is exactly the way it is documented to work.  After each
commit you must reissue the

set transaction use rollback segment rbs_01 

statement.
