RE: How to drop a system event trigger - endless loop?
You can also set the hidden parameter _system_trig_enabled=FALSE in your init file.

RE: How to remove corrupted blocks from datafile.
This what I did last time it happened to me. (Bear in mind that this was Oracle 7.3 and so rowid format is different for later releases of Oracle). In sqlplus select the following from the table with the corruption SQL SELECT /*+ ROWID(TABLE_NAME) */ DOC_ID, ROWID 2 FROM TABLE_NAME 3 WHERE ROWID BETWEEN '..' AND '..'; This will stop at the corrupted row. eg. 7085.4234.0009 - this is a hexidecimal representation The first 8 digits are the block number (Block no. 28805 in hex is 7085). The next four are the row and the final four are the file number. The last record before the corrupted block in this case will be 7084..0009. The first record of the corrupted block in this case will be 7085..0009. The first record after the corrupted block in this case will be 7086..0009. To get these unaffected rows back into the table do the following. create table table_name_tmp as select * from table_name where 1 = 2; This will create a temporary table the same as your original. Next backup the original table structure so you can recreate it. exp username/password file=table_name.dmp rows=n tables=TABLE_NAME then imp username/passwd file=table_name.dmp indexfile=table_name.sql Make the necessary amendments to the indexfile (take REM statements and connect statements out) Next insert the uncorrupted rows into the temporary table.

Creating and Oracle 7 DB from an Oracle 8 DB
Hi, Its a long and boring story but I have an Oracle8 database andI need to create anOracle 7 database from it to support one of our applications. The schema of the Oracle 8 db does not have any oo features and is, in theory, it functionally compatable with an Oracle 7 db. But I understand that there are issues with using export from oracle 8 and import to oracle 7, I.e it is incompatable. Has anyone had any experience in doing this or any suggestions on ways of doing it? And by the way the data in tables needs to be copied from 8 to 7 also.

Re: Compute statisics
Hi Jared, My post was to meant to imply that (say) if (in a single query - and thats the important bit I missed out) there were two tables, one with stats, and one without, then the one without will use defaults (as quoted in chapter 8 of the same manual) I was trying to imply that if you've only got half the stats, then on a query-by-query basic, you're most likely to toggle between - 'good' CHOOSE (since all the stats are present for the objects in this query) - 'bad' CHOOSE (since some defaults are chosen for object missing statistics) - RULE (for queries where all objects have no stats) Cheers Connor --- Jared Still [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tuesday 05 June 2001 01:20, Connor McDonald wrote: Sounds like nonsense to me...If you have half statistics, then the optimizer is going to use defaults for the others, Conner, Are you sure about that? From the Optimizer chapter in the tuning manual: If the data dictionary contains statistics for at least one of the accessed tables, then the optimizer uses a cost-based approach and optimizes with a goal of best throughput. If the data dictionary contains no statistics for any of the accessed tables, then the optimizer uses a rule-based approach. This is the default value for the parameter. ... If the optimizer uses the cost-based approach for a SQL statement, and if some tables accessed by the statement have no statistics, then the optimizer uses internal information (such as the number of data blocks allocated to these tables) to estimate other statistics for these tables. That coupled with the fact that when viewing the plan table you can see the CBO's use of the statistic would make me think otherwise.

RE: Trouble.. Standby Database. Urgent!!
Actually there may be no problem at all. Your standby
database might be up to date, the last available archive log file has been
applied to your standby database and Oracle tried to apply the next archive log
file 'D:\ORACLE\ORA81\DATABASE\ARCHIVE\ARC00505.001 and did not find it, since
you did not copied it to the standby server or it does not even exist - yet - in
the primary site.
Check if the file missed by Oracle exists on the
standby site archive directory.
Actually if you use managed standby database, Oracle
can transfer the archived logs to the standby database through SQLNet and can
make the standby database applie them automatically. But you will need
Enterprise Edition Licences to do this:-((
If you move the archived log files from the primary
site to the standby manually, it can work very well too, without additional
licence fees. In this case create soma batch files for moving the files and
applying them to the standby site. The triggering of the batch files can be
achieved by OS specific scheduling commands. Actually we implemented it
this way and it's working fine for us.

F45webm memory usage
Dear list, We are Oracle Apps site, one of the problem we are having is memory leak with f45webm processes. We had 4G of memory on the web server tier where the Form server run, when we run the prtmem command, it reported that 3.5G was used by user (application), using the memps command I can see the private area (I think this is the heap area of the process) of the f45webm is chewing up a lot of memory. We had opened tar with Oracle Support and applied all the patches suggested and also upgrade to the latest Form patchset, nothing seem to bring down the heap size. I further investigated and found something which I couldn't make sense of, I observed the paging rate and scan rate using sar throughout the day, there was not much happening, just a tiny bit of paging activities, if the box is using 3.5G of 4G, I would expected to see a lot of paging and scanning activities. Is anyone out there have similar problem with f45webm memory usage. I remembered reading something about Oracle server process do not release heap memory when it was done with it, it was up to the OS to reclaim it. In order words, the heap side shown is not really what is being used, sort of like a high water mark. Would the f45webm processes exhibits similar behaviour?? Also the prtmem and memps command, the number they displayed represent virtual or physical memory? I got a feeling is virtual because the total size included shared as well, but my SA said it is physical memory, any ideal?? KC

I've followed the advice to simply create the folder given in the message, and to move a copy of the resources.ora file, which exists elsewhere, to the folder. I did this, and OMS starts cleanly now. So thanks once again! And for my next problem... OK, so I've set the Management Server service to start automatically (this is running on an NT server, just to recap). Likewise, the repository database starts automatically when the system is rebooted. Unfortunately, the system appears to try and start the Management Server service before the database Start service has completed, so the Management Server fails to start.

OEM 2.1 cannot contact agent on a node
Hi - me again, still having lots of fun with Oracle Enterprise Manager 2.1! Having got OMS working, I fired up the OEM 2.1 console, and gave it a list of nodes to discover. It found one of the 8.1.6 nodes (an NT box), and the 7.3.4 node (a Sun box), but failed on two others (an 8.1.6 Sun box and an 8.0.5 NT box) with the message: Discovery failed: VNI-4009: Cannot contact agent on the node. Now, the 8.1.6 Sun box hadn't got its Intelligent Agent started, so that was soon rectified. However, the 8.0.5 NT box DOES have a running Intelligent Agent (the Service name is Agent80), and on the server, the Agent80 service shows up when I do a net start command. The documentation suggested I check the server was using TCP/IP - which it is. I also came back to my workstation and tried pinging the server, and it pings successfully. But despite trying everything I can think of - even stopping and restarting the Agent80 service on the 8.0.5 box, I still can't get OEM 2.1 to discover the node successfully. Any ideas, please?

RE: Further adventures with Oracle Management Server

I've followed the advice to simply create the folder given in the message, and to move a copy of the resources.ora file, which exists elsewhere, to the folder. I did this, and OMS starts cleanly now. So thanks once again! And for my next problem... OK, so I've set the Management Server service to start automatically (this is running on an NT server, just to recap). Likewise, the repository database starts automatically when the system is rebooted. Unfortunately, the system appears to try and start the Management Server service before the database Start service has completed, so the Management Server fails to start.

Re: How to remove corrupted blocks from datafile.
Hi Uday, I don't know in which version dbv is stable; but, I know dbv was very buggy product. I recommend: - add event="10231 trace name context forever, level 10" to init.ora. This will eliminate corrupted blocks during full table scan. Note that this event is used while reading from disk. It does not effect cached blocks. - rebounce db. - create new table as select * from corrupted_table New table will not contain corrupted block. Following event should be used if blocks are accessed through index: event="10233 trace name context forever, level 10" udaycb wrote: Hi, I found some corrupted blocks in one of the datafile. I have created the temp table by select all the records (excluding the records in corrupted blocks) from corrupted table, and dropped the table, renamed the temp table back to original.

Re: query using OR operator
both will return duplicates since the OR operator is used. select ename from emp where mgr = 1 or mgr in (1); -- If there are three rows where mgr = 1, this query will return three rows. select ename from emp where mgr = 1 union all select ename from emp where mgr in (1) -- But this returns six rows. In rewriting your query to tune it, you changed the sql from the form used in the first example to the form used in the second. So for your query, if there is ever a row in the table where the CHILD column value = 105 and in that same row the PARENT column value is also 105, you will get duplicates in the new tuned query that would not have appeared in the old one. Maybe you have a check constraint on these two columns to guarantee that will never happen

Heads up on nasty bug on NT
Hi all! Just a warning for those of you running Oracle on NT. There's an extremely nasty bug specific to 8.1.6/8.1.7 on NT/Win2K (not sure if it affects 8.1.5) where a datafile that is resize or autoextended exactly on a 4GB boundary cannot be resized. Bug 1668488. Options: 1. PITR prior to when the datafile extended 2. Force the db open (requires full db export and rebuild). 3. Clone a subset of the db containing the corrupted datafile(s), force it open, export affected tablespaces and import them into the original db. 4. Drop the corrupted datafiles to open the db and then drop the tablespace to which the datafiles belong. Options 2 3 can result in logical corruption as there's no way to rollback any uncommitted transactions that have already been forced to disk. Bug is not fixed in 8.1.6; it's scheduled for the 8.1.7.2 patchset. Those of you with autoextend on your datafiles should modify the maxsize to be less than 4GB or turn off autoextend.

LOT (Little OT): Interesting Oracle related URL's.
Hello everyone. I am currently finishing off our company website, and am putting together the links section. This is going to be used to link to COOL resources for Oracle, Sybase -aahem- SQLServer DBAs. I was wondering if any of you have, like me, a list of URLs that you swear by for your needs with Oracle - and of course Sybase and SQLServer (hell and DB2) if you use them. If so would you mind either posting them to the list (I'm sure others would benefit from this) or sending them directly to me? I have my own list of links, but this site is for DBAs at the end of the day, so I thought I would get your input :) Also, are there any HTML/Web experts out there that would mind giving our site the once over when I publish it to the web? I have put a fair bit of work in to it, but feedback is always extremely helpful (the site is for RDBMS tools, but this is not a plug - I'm only interested in design and usage). If so contact me off the list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cheers Mark -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Mark Leith INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California-- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

Re: dbms_java and file permissions
Thanks for taking a shot Jared. I'm just starting with Java, learnin' as I go.
Sorry I didn't post the query initially. It was basically a select * from dba_java_policy wheregrantee = 'TISSD'.
External calls to the OS will be as the oracle user which would be hard to limit however it is happening in certain situations and I don't know this for a fact but I believe these calls shouldn't make it to the OS if there are restrictions. I may be off on that but /export/home/oracle is also owned by Oracle and I wasn't allowed to do an ls on that directory unless I had explicitely granted permission to it. Also I can't do an ls on /u20/app/oracle/testjunk.file which is explictly restricted (still owned by Oracle on OS) but I can still ls the directory (even though I tried to restrict access) or even move the file. Strange.
Here's the response I got from Metalink forums.
Hi. This issue must be handled by an analyst in the Internet Languages group. Unfortunately at this time we do not have technical forum support for Internet Languages within MetaLink. For assistance from Oracle Support on this issue, you will need to log an iTAR. iTAR functionality is accessible via the TARs option on MetaLink Home.
I'lltry the TAR approach and see if I get anywhere.
Thanks again - Brian

Re: OEM 2.1 cannot contact agent on a node
Hi, I think you need to install the 8.1.6 agent on the NT box in question (assuming that your OMS is on 8.1.6) Going by that logic I would love to know how 7.3.4 on the SUN node worked (I have no experience with SUN) We had a similar situation where OMS was on 8.1.7 but the other databases which were 8.1.5 had problems and it was rectified by installing the 8.1.7 agent on the systems. It worked! Someone please correct me if I am wrong coz I am a novice - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 5:13 PM Hi - me again, still having lots of fun with Oracle Enterprise Manager 2.1! Having got OMS working, I fired up the OEM 2.1 console, and gave it a list of nodes to discover. It found one of the 8.1.6 nodes (an NT box), and the 7.3.4 node (a Sun box), but failed on two others (an 8.1.6 Sun box and an 8.0.5 NT box) with the message: Discovery failed: VNI-4009: Cannot contact agent on the node. Now, the 8.1.6 Sun box hadn't got its Intelligent Agent started, so that was soon rectified. However, the 8.0.5 NT box DOES have a running Intelligent Agent (the Service name is Agent80), and on the server, the Agent80 service shows up when I do a net start command. The documentation suggested I check the server was using TCP/IP - which it is. I also came back to my workstation and tried pinging the server, and it pings successfully. But despite trying everything I can think of - even stopping and restarting the Agent80 service on the 8.0.5 box, I still can't get OEM 2.1 to discover the node successfully. Any ideas, please?

Re: SUMMARY: Thanks everyone - tru64
According to a technical representative at Oracle in Rochester, NY, Oracle no longer develops on Solaris. He stated that they have changed to HP-UX for development. He said the reason was instability with Solaris. "Koivu, Lisa" wrote: Kevin, sure I will. I just didn't want to muck up the list. Here's what I found. If anyone has any comments to add, please do. My question was about the utilities across different flavors of Unix and if they mean the same thing. vmstat, iostat are the same, however the switches may be a bit different. sar is system V only. truss you must purchase a license for. top is freeware. There is a utility called 'collect' that does something similar to top. The response regarding tru64 has been overwhelmingly positive. Some of the positive comments I received: 1. C compiler (Kernighan and Richie) is not ANSI compliant and may affect any 3rd party apps. 2. Compaq hardware used to be lagging in Oracle (Apps) patch releases. Not anymore. 3. The journaling filesystem makes mistakes like unplugging the wrong cord (oops!) a simple fix instead of hours of downtime. 4. Security - Since tru64 is not 'mainstream', e.g. marketed everywhere extremely popular, intimate knowledge for hacking the os is not widely known. So obscurity works in your favor. 5. Clustering technology is mature, solid and proven. 6. tru64 is indeed a first tier platform for Oracle. 7. Compaq's support is rated as 'very helpful'. 8. tru64 has the ability to quickly clone a filesystem. 9. OPS can reside on a filesystem on tru64. 10. Benchmarking Solaris E10K/64CPU against Compaq GS-160/16CPU favored the Compaq! WOW 11. For 9i, Oracle licensed also the TruCluster technology from Compaq. Oracle RAC (Real Application Cluster, new names for OPS) for 9i will only initially be available on tru64, truly first tier. Caveats/ Other comments: 1. Sun, relying on their own proprietary hardware, may be hurting themselves in the long run. 2. Sun is ex-pen-sive! Compaq wins in this comparison. 3. The future of Sun and Compaq seems a bit shaky right now, but they should pull through in the long run. 4. There's a bug in tru64 that doesn't allow one listener to service databases with different versions. Workaround is multiple listeners (no big deal) 5. Oracle does develop on Sun hardware. Calling OWWS for a Solaris system may net an answer quicker than running tru64. 6. Avoid the ultra sparc-2 chips from Sun. They have a problem with bad caches causing random reboots. I saw this at a previous employer. 7. If it's possible, consider IBM/AIX. IBM's sales force is highly trained in administration so you can talk real system architecture with them (not that I'm an admin or architect, I am neither). IBM's support is also top notch.

I'm sure you'll receive lots of good advice, but here goes some more (maybe not good?): The Velpuri Backup and Recovery book has some very good descriptions of exactly how to cope with this. There are a number of packages you can use to flag the blocks as bad and effectively stop them from being used, or recover them, whichever the case may be.

Tru64, get real. -Original Message- From: Scott Canaan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 9:31 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Re: SUMMARY: Thanks everyone - tru64 According to a technical representative at Oracle in Rochester, NY, Oracle no longer develops on Solaris. He stated that they have changed to HP-UX for development. He said the reason was instability with Solaris. Koivu, Lisa wrote: Kevin, sure I will. I just didn't want to muck up the list. Here's what I found. If anyone has any comments to add, please do. My question was about the utilities across different flavors of Unix and if they mean the same thing. vmstat, iostat are the same, however the switches may be a bit different. sar is system V only. truss you must purchase a license for. top is freeware. There is a utility called 'collect' that does something similar to top. The response regarding tru64 has been overwhelmingly positive. Some of the positive comments I received: 1. C compiler (Kernighan and Richie) is not ANSI compliant and may affect any 3rd party apps. 2. Compaq hardware used to be lagging in Oracle (Apps) patch releases. Not anymore. 3. The journaling filesystem makes mistakes like unplugging the wrong cord (oops!) a simple fix instead of hours of downtime. 4. Security - Since tru64 is not 'mainstream', e.g. marketed everywhere extremely popular, intimate knowledge for hacking the os is not widely known. So obscurity works in your favor. 5. Clustering technology is mature, solid and proven. 6. tru64 is indeed a first tier platform for Oracle. 7. Compaq's support is rated as 'very helpful'. 8. tru64 has the ability to quickly clone a filesystem. 9. OPS can reside on a filesystem on tru64. 10. Benchmarking Solaris E10K/64CPU against Compaq GS-160/16CPU favored the Compaq! WOW 11. For 9i, Oracle licensed also the TruCluster technology from Compaq. Oracle RAC (Real Application Cluster, new names for OPS) for 9i will only initially be available on tru64, truly first tier. Caveats/ Other comments: 1. Sun, relying on their own proprietary hardware, may be hurting themselves in the long run. 2. Sun is ex-pen-sive! Compaq wins in this comparison. 3. The future of Sun and Compaq seems a bit shaky right now, but they should pull through in the long run. 4. There's a bug in tru64 that doesn't allow one listener to service databases with different versions. Workaround is multiple listeners (no big deal) 5. Oracle does develop on Sun hardware. Calling OWWS for a Solaris system may net an answer quicker than running tru64. 6. Avoid the ultra sparc-2 chips from Sun. They have a problem with bad caches causing random reboots. I saw this at a previous employer. 7. If it's possible, consider IBM/AIX. IBM's sales force is highly trained in administration so you can talk real system architecture with them (not that I'm an admin or architect, I am neither). IBM's support is also top notch.

Re: OPS, TAF and jAVA
I have seen number of TAF papers on metalink and google. But wanted to get some user experience. This input is great. Thanks Murali Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 05 Jun 2001 01:19:36 -0800 Yes. Search on MetaLink. Look in the Net8 docs. There are a lot of options and some significant constraints. It might take a while for you to do the research and analysis and to figure out what works best for your system(s), running your application(s). Attached is one paper, but don't stop with it alone. It was simply handy, so I attached it. I don't remember where I got it - probably off MetaLink, but it could be an extract from the Oracle docs. The formatting is butt-ugly, so it was probably a cut-and-paste deal. I chose it to include because it doesn't gloss over the transparent application failover bit as much as most. It isn't entirely transparent in all (many?) cases! See the section 6. Coding for Failover in the attached file. There is some much more detailed information on this somewhere - I just don't have it at hand. When I was initially researching this, I found a long daisy chain of references on MetaLink. You didn't mention what version of Oracle you are using - on the server or on the client(s)! It is important. For example, I believe that dynamic instance registration is only available in 8i. Instance roles in an 8i OPS environment may make a difference also. The construction of the clients' tnsnames.ora entries will likely depend on the client version as well - and you may have several different client versions to contend with. TAF against an OPS cluster works very well if the application is amenable and everything is configured properly. I have set it up so that most connections/sessions/queries into an extremely hot OLTP system could automagically fail over to an alternate node within 20 seconds in most outage scenarios. (Your mileage may vary - considerably.) Be aware of the TCP timeout issue - as mentioned in this paper. Tuning TCP timeout is not an Oracle issue, it is a system issue, but if a node goes entirely belly up, your client connections will be waiting on a TCP timeout. Don't forget to tune and test it. Tuning instance recovery is important to minimize the brownout period - the time required for a surviving instance to perform instance recovery on behalf of a failed instance and for reconfiguration of the lock table,... This can be somewhat bounded in 8i. There is some material on this in the OPS manuals and in the Oracle8i Tuning manual. Most importantly, test everything rigorously - instance failure, listener failure, node crash, all types of clients, etc. You don't want your application to hang when something goes wrong on that brand new highly available OPS system for which you just spent the big bucks! Also, have a plan for switch-back and/or fail-back - perhaps different mechanisms for different clients and different server-side processes. Considering the entire processing cycle of the application is sometimes not considered early enough in the planning. How are cron jobs and other batch-lookin' thingies going to behave? How will they fail over in the event of a prolonged node outage? When can they switch-back to their primary home without clobbering performance by inducing mass quantities of OPS overhead? How do you choreograph the entire inter-node process shifting ballet for both fail-over and switch|fail-back? Is there a central autority or does each client do its own thing? (TAF implies the latter). What happens if there is some kind of false alarm? (e.g. What if only half the clients fail over - due to a localized transient network glitch perhaps? Does that induce extreme OPS-specific performance problems?) I can't speak to Java. (Heck, I can't even speak Java!) However, there seem to be significant differences between the TAF capabilities of thick and thin Java since thick is (?) built on an OCI layer, but thin isn't. (And there can be significant differences in thick thin compatibility/issues with CURSOR_SHARING=FORCE! Or so I hear.) Thankfully, your request was quite reasonable - guidelines, concerns, tips, etc. I hope this helps, but it is definitely going to take some work on your part! I'm not trying to scare you, or anyone else, off of OPS. I just have visions/nightmares about what will happen when 9i (You won't need a DBA anymore! ) and Real Application Clusters (Easy, trouble-free parallel server for the masses! ) hit the street! OPS may not be rocket science, but it isn't exacty paint by the numbers either. And I'll wager that even a much more user-friendly RAC still won't be, in spite any propaganda to the contrary! -Don Granaman [Certifiable OraSaurus] OPS - Not just for breakfast anymore! - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 04, 2001 11:22 AM We are looking at

Just a warning for those of you running Oracle on NT. There's an extremely nasty bug specific to 8.1.6/8.1.7 on NT/Win2K (not sure if it affects 8.1.5) where a datafile that is resize or autoextended exactly on a 4GB boundary cannot be resized. Bug 1668488. Options: 1. PITR prior to when the datafile extended 2. Force the db open (requires full db export and rebuild). 3. Clone a subset of the db containing the corrupted datafile(s), force it open, export affected tablespaces and import them into the original db. 4. Drop the corrupted datafiles to open the db and then drop the tablespace to which the datafiles belong. Options 2 3 can result in logical corruption as there's no way to rollback any uncommitted transactions that have already been forced to disk. Bug is not fixed in 8.1.6; it's scheduled for the 8.1.7.2 patchset. Those of you with autoextend on your datafiles should modify the maxsize to be less than 4GB or turn off autoextend.

Can the initABCD.ora file be changed during an RMAN migration
Is there any reason I should not modify the parameter file AFTER I copy it to the new host but BEFORE I restore the controlfile, datafiles, etc.? We are planning to move our database from one SPARC/Solaris box to another. Since the file system, operating system, and Oracle version (8.1.6) will be identical I figured that using Recovery Manager to do the migration would be best. The first step (after installing Oracle) is to copy the parameter file to the new host. There are a few changes I have been wanting to make to the parameter file but have not because it would require bouncing the database. I know I don't want to change db_block_size - but what else should I not change?

RE: Trouble.. Standby Database. Urgent!!
We use
standby databases as well and our method is prety muc as yours is. So, my
biggest question is . is that the correct directory for the Archive Files
??? and did you actually copy the files to that directory ?? "D:\ORACLE\ORA81\DATABASE\ARCHIVE" It seems a straight
forward error it can't find the file ARC00505.001 in the above
directory.
It
does not say the file is corrupt or mangled in any way . just that it can
not find it.
Definitely check the archive log destination parameter and make sure it
is set to what you wanted.

RE: Oracle price politics
They can cut 80% and it would still be expensive. But it is nice to see they are finally getting some brains. Yeah, I think Oracle should always be expensive, but ludicrus is just not acceptable, specially when they are KILLING their main partner (Sun). Sun is laying off the ENTIRE company but upper managment for 1 week, all travel expenses need to be pre-approved, and their standard hiring freeze. Yes, I think the market is hurting a little right now, but if you got a product (Sun and Oracle both do) it is your marketing and pricing that will make it much more difficult. It is like the old theory, I got 100 apples, I can sell them at $2 a piece and sell 20 of them. Or I can sell them for $1 and sell all of them. When you get apples for $.50 both are profitable, just one is better. Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen. Christopher R.

RE: dbms_utility.analyze_schema OR dbms_stats ?
All: From reading the release notes for 9i it appears that ANALYZE table and DBMS_UTILITY.ANALYZE_SCHEMA are desupported in 9i. The only supported way to generate stats in 9i is DBMS_STATS. In addition, DBMS_STATS can generate stats for tables in parallel and make use of the new MONITORING feature to only generate stats on tables with stale statistics. In addition, do not mix calls. Use one or the other. According to the Docs, ANALYZE can not delete and does not overwrite some stats generated by DBMS_STATS and vise versa. I have run into the situation where calls where mixed and got really strange results until stats were deleted using both methods and regenerated.

Re: Shared Pool info - V$sqlarea.
He also gave the presentation at the IOUG-A in Orlando recently, so it should be available from their CD's/archives or whatever. It's a neat presentation. Way too many people and monitoring products want you do keep increasing db_block_buffers until your BCHR is about 99.9% or so. It's pure nonsense, of course. Once I worked on a large SAP site, where the SAP Early Watch kept saying the problems in the system were due to the BCHR being too low. That went on for a few months while performance became progressivly worse. When the customer passed the 1G mark (for the buffer cache alone) they called me/Premium Services and the wait interface showed all the wait time to be with the free buffer waits event, meaning the DBWR couldn't keep up (no async IO, therefor making the buffer cache bigger made the problem bigger, etc.). We set up multiple database writers to simulate async IO (long story) and it all worked nicely... This is not to say anything bad about Early Watch, but to say something bad about the ratio-based/checklist tuning method :-))). A.

He stated that they have changed to HP-UX for development. He said the reason was instability with Solaris. Koivu, Lisa wrote: Kevin, sure I will. I just didn't want to muck up the list. Here's what I found. If anyone has any comments to add, please do. My question was about the utilities across different flavors of Unix and if they mean the same thing. vmstat, iostat are the same, however the switches may be a bit different. sar is system V only. truss you must purchase a license for. top is freeware. There is a utility called 'collect' that does something similar to top. The response regarding tru64 has been overwhelmingly positive. Some of the positive comments I received: 1. C compiler (Kernighan and Richie) is not ANSI compliant and may affect any 3rd party apps. 2. Compaq hardware used to be lagging in Oracle (Apps) patch releases. Not anymore. 3. The journaling filesystem makes mistakes like unplugging the wrong cord (oops!) a simple fix instead of hours of downtime. 4. Security - Since tru64 is not 'mainstream', e.g. marketed everywhere extremely popular, intimate knowledge for hacking the os is not widely known. So obscurity works in your favor. 5. Clustering technology is mature, solid and proven. 6. tru64 is indeed a first tier platform for Oracle. 7. Compaq's support is rated as 'very helpful'. 8. tru64 has the ability to quickly clone a filesystem. 9. OPS can reside on a filesystem on tru64. 10. Benchmarking Solaris E10K/64CPU against Compaq GS-160/16CPU favored the Compaq! WOW 11. For 9i, Oracle licensed also the TruCluster technology from Compaq. Oracle RAC (Real Application Cluster, new names for OPS) for 9i will only initially be available on tru64, truly first tier. Caveats/ Other comments: 1. Sun, relying on their own proprietary hardware, may be hurting themselves in the long run. 2. Sun is ex-pen-sive! Compaq wins in this comparison. 3. The future of Sun and Compaq seems a bit shaky right now, but they should pull through in the long run. 4. There's a bug in tru64 that doesn't allow one listener to service databases with different versions. Workaround is multiple listeners (no big deal) 5. Oracle does develop on Sun hardware. Calling OWWS for a Solaris system may net an answer quicker than running tru64. 6. Avoid the ultra sparc-2 chips from Sun. They have a problem with bad caches causing random reboots. I saw this at a previous employer. 7. If it's possible, consider IBM/AIX.

Re: dbms_utility.analyze_schema OR dbms_stats ?
As far as I can work out, DBMS_STATS is purely for optimizer decisions (presumably thats why they didn't call it DBMS_ANALYZE). (If you believe the doco) you can get faster and better stats with DBMS_STATS (particularly in terms of partition-wise stats). I'm using both at the moment, in my case, a weekly dbms_stats to help the optimiser, and a monthly analyze to help me (chain rows etc etc). hth connor --- Gene Sais [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Oracle 8.1.7 AIX 4.3.3 I looked at the docs and it appears Oracle wants you to use dbms_stats to generate statistics for cbo.
