Re: Port usage?
Don Oracle is doing the normal ting : it is using port 1521 for calls to find the listener and then calling back on another port to spread the load over multiple port's. This is done a port has a limited queue to hold in- and out- coming messages. If you what to use Oracle listener and database behind a firewall by a sql*net proxy for the firewall and the firewall is then able to handle sql*net without problems.

RE: what is purify
Now in a dump, Oracle see's something called purify and want us to disable it to see if that makes a difference. Never heard of purify - what is this?? A product which checks memory allocation - that you are not writing at an address location you have freed or that you have no memory leak. They somewhat intercept calls to malloc(), free() and the like before forwarding them to the memory. May have some impact on performance but I doubt the Oracle explanation. I think that Oracle uses this product (not enough), the reference to it may well be in their code.

I believe that SNMP underlies most of the monitoring tools on the market today. OEM may even use SNMP. I can see two approaches for you. 1. You write your own tool that will issue SNMP alerts. Perhaps this would be a Unix daemon process that executes database queries, and then based on what it finds, issues SNMP alerts. 2. Use an existing tool to accomplish what you want. If your desire is to create a database monitoring tool that you can give away for free, then sell to CA for a lot of money, take path #1.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 9:05 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Aye to that, but you'll need at least two, possibly three, identical clusters, not just one. One cluster for production and an identical cluster for QA/Test, and possibly one for development (though that last is often regarded as unnecessary). Skimping on the QA/Test environment is the leading edge of failure... RAC itself requires additional DBA expertise as well as additional OS SysAdmin expertise for cluster hardware/OS, each of which costs more to obtain/maintain (either by hiring experienced/talented or training to build or both). Clustering is not a low-cost solution from any perspective... RAC is a solution for certain specific high-availability and high-scaleability requirements (not including data-center failure, a.k.a. disaster-recovery), so it's a good idea to be certain that you are planning a solution that meets your own specific requirements before proceeding. RAC should not be a high-level management decision -- it is a specific technical solution to meet specific technical requirements, which themselves should have been derived from the requirements of the business. There are several other possible H/A solutions in Oracle9i (i.e. physical standby, logical standby, advanced replication, OS failover solutions, RAC, etc), each of which addresses the same H/A problems in different ways with differing levels of complexity and cost. - Original Message - To: Multiple mailto:ORACLE-L;fatcity.com recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 6:43 AM IMHO, the main requirement is that you have to have a system that needs to be up 24x7 on a cluster and your ability to fork enough money to Oracle and your server vendor (to get two identical machines) and your networking vendor (for redundant network connections).

Re: Oracle Real Application Clusters
NetApp is NFS; so are all current NAS products... The phrases NetApp and cheap are *always* used together -- it is their most compelling feature. CFOs love NetApps. For database usage however, they are best used in non-demanding situations (i.e. low I/O volumes). The phrase filer is very apt -- their very best application is simple file-serving; Windows network drive or UNIX file-system. But not underneath any I/O-intensive application such as a busy database-based application. Any I/O subsystem (such as NAS) that relies on a cache for performance is simply pure trouble for busy databases -- DEC knew it in the 80s and EMC discovered it in the 90s.

RE: Theory v Practice - and business logic...
As this topic just hits my hot button, I'm going to chime in my 2 cents worth in as well. This in spite of the fact that you have already gotten some great responses. I come from an environment where we have distributed data all over creation. IMS, DB2, Oracle, you name it we have it popping up everywhere. When a new project pops up, guess what the first question is: Does the source of record that we need for this application already exist somewhere? Now, if it does, I've got a HUGE problem if I am not enforcing the RI on this source data, particularly if this new application is going to be manipulating it somehow. Then, as others have mentioned, there are the power users who figure out ODBC and access or Excel.. God help you when they get busy. Another issue with regards to FK/PK's is the use of some Oracle features, such as query rewrite and MViews, which require these structures to be used. While you may not plan on using those features now, there is no telling what the future may hold. Simply put, using defined Pk/FK is a best practice. If you have issues with the validation of FK's (for example in a warehouse environment) then enable them without validation. This leads me to another related hot button topic, thats business logic. In my mind (though I'm having a hard time selling it to apps) the business logic belongs in the database. This for the very same reasons that FK/PK's need to be in place, scalability. That way, when I have new applications coming on line that need to interface with the data, the same business rules are consistently followed.

I believe that SNMP underlies most of the monitoring tools on the market today. OEM may even use SNMP. I can see two approaches for you. 1. You write your own tool that will issue SNMP alerts. Perhaps this would be a Unix daemon process that executes database queries, and then based on what it finds, issues SNMP alerts. 2. Use an existing tool to accomplish what you want. If your desire is to create a database monitoring tool that you can give away for free, then sell to CA for a lot of money, take path #1. If your goal is to become a better DBA, then I would go with #2. Dennis Williams DBA, 40%OCP Lifetouch, Inc.

Re: LOCALLY MANAGED TABLESPACE
Seema, Our production Student Information database (8.1.7 under Win2k) has 40,000 tables and 60,000 indexes. It's a third party app designed for dBaseIV - go ahead and laugh, we do all the time (when we're not crying). Anyhow, we have to regularly clone out the data to a couple of other databases, both on HPUX. The different OS means we have to use export/import, not restore from hot backup or transportable tablespaces, to move the data. Both of the recipient databases (with dictionary-managed tablespaces) started out needing about 2 hours to drop all the tables and indexes (tables change, so we can't truncate) and about 6 hours to import the full dataset. After several refreshes the time requirement grew to almost 30 hours for each DB. I think the data dictionary tables that record info. about tables, indexes, and extents (someone else on this list could probably name the very ones) got totally mucked up (a techical term) after so many massive drops and creates. After I recreated the recipient tablespaces as locally-managed, drop and import times returned to 2 and 6 hours, respectively, and have remained there through numerous subsequent refreshes. Needless to say, we are *very* happy with LMTs. BTW, our Student Info. system is clunky (we're going to redesign it into a couple hundred partitioned tables with 40,000 views and 120,000 Instead-Of Triggers, but that's another story) but several thousand teachers and administrators basically like the way it manages our 80,000 students.

Re: Full Import/tablespace sizes
Mike, While not necessary, it would be a good idea to precreate the tablespaces. Else, for a clean import the first time, you would need to ensure that the directory structure for the datafiles exists, you have the permissions to create files at the OS level, ensure that files dont already exist (avoid Destroy=Y), et all. Else, you might find yourself running the import, shouting crap, fixing and re-running the import.

I have to create packages that will generate several flat files of data from tables that will be sent to other systems to be processed. I am looking for ideas on how to ensure data integrity in the flat files. For example, the expected record count is stored on the first line of the file to ensure that the correct amount of records was received. The systems group is chartered to ensure the flat files are correctly FTPed between systems, so that's covered. I just worry that if "somehow" a flat file is scrambled then the scrambled data is loaded into the database, therefore corrupting it. At this phase, XML is not an option I keep thinking that some sort of CRC should be stored with each line in the flat file. And then before the line is loaded into the database, the CRC is compared against the generated CRC of the just read line. Has anyone done anything like this? Any examples out there? Many TIA!!

RE: Flat file generation integrity ideas...
Chris - If Tom's idea provides you the protection you require, with convenience to boot, then it sounds like you have a winner. I think all the suggestions provide some variety of checksum, a standard computer science technique. What are your requirements? Mainly to make sure the file doesn't get truncated? To make sure some of the records don't get changed? Dennis Williams DBA, 40%OCP Lifetouch, Inc.

RE: Flat file generation integrity ideas...
Title: Flat file generation integrity ideas... Chris; I would suggest the following: 1. Generating Check Sums of the files before they are sent. 2.Send the files. 3. Generating an after Check Sum and compare. Here are the steps I go thru to make sure our Oracle Archive Logs are correctly transfered to our Standby Server: 1. Zip the Archive Logs into 1 Zip. 2. Check Sum the Zip. 3. Use the TEST option to make sure the Zip is good. 4. RCP the zip file to the standby location. 5. RSH a test of the Zip. 6. RSH a Check Sum of the Transfered Zip and compare to original value. 7. Unzip the file With this method you have 2 independent checks the Check Sum and the Zip Integrity Check. -Original Message-From: Grabowy, Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 12:35 PMTo: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-LSubject: Flat file generation integrity ideas...

I believe that SNMP underlies most of the monitoring tools on the market today. OEM may even use SNMP. I can see two approaches for you. 1. You write your own tool that will issue SNMP alerts. Perhaps this would be a Unix daemon process that executes database queries, and then based on what it finds, issues SNMP alerts. 2. Use an existing tool to accomplish what you want. If your desire is to create a database monitoring tool that you can give away for free, then sell to CA for a lot of money, take path #1.

Re: Theory v Practice - and business logic...
To me this comes under the heading of common sense. My $0.02 worth, Ken Janusz, CPIM - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 9:33 AM As this topic just hits my hot button, I'm going to chime in my 2 cents worth in as well. This in spite of the fact that you have already gotten some great responses. I come from an environment where we have distributed data all over creation. IMS, DB2, Oracle, you name it we have it popping up everywhere. When a new project pops up, guess what the first question is: Does the source of record that we need for this application already exist somewhere? Now, if it does, I've got a HUGE problem if I am not enforcing the RI on this source data, particularly if this new application is going to be manipulating it somehow. Then, as others have mentioned, there are the power users who figure out ODBC and access or Excel.. God help you when they get busy. Another issue with regards to FK/PK's is the use of some Oracle features, such as query rewrite and MViews, which require these structures to be used. While you may not plan on using those features now, there is no telling what the future may hold. Simply put, using defined Pk/FK is a best practice. If you have issues with the validation of FK's (for example in a warehouse environment) then enable them without validation. This leads me to another related hot button topic, thats business logic. In my mind (though I'm having a hard time selling it to apps) the business logic belongs in the database. This for the very same reasons that FK/PK's need to be in place, scalability. That way, when I have new applications coming on line that need to interface with the data, the same business rules are consistently followed. Bottom line, one has to think about tomorrow when one designs, not just today. More to churn on, Robert Robert G.

Flat file generation integrity ideas...
Title: Flat file generation integrity ideas... I have to create packages that will generate several flat files of data from tables that will be sent to other systems to be processed. I am looking for ideas on how to ensure data integrity in the flat files. For example, the expected record count is stored on the first line of the file to ensure that the correct amount of records was received. The systems group is chartered to ensure the flat files are correctly FTPed between systems, so that's covered. I just worry that if somehow a flat file is scrambled then the scrambled data is loaded into the database, therefore corrupting it. At this phase, XML is not an option I keep thinking that some sort of CRC should be stored with each line in the flat file. And then before the line is loaded into the database, the CRC is compared against the generated CRC of the just read line. Has anyone done anything like this? Any examples out there? Many TIA!!
Re: Activating batch file from a trigger on nt
I solved the problem by: Call a Java function that sends the command to a service that activate the command as a process in NT.

Re: Trivia question - not of any practical use.
I don't get that when running on W2K. Are you executing a login.sql or glogin.sql script first? How are you invoking your temp.sql? Using the @ on the command line or redirecting input or typing it in directly? What version of sqlplus? I tried it with 8.1.6.

Is there any way to stop this line from appearing? I vaguely remember that in some language you could put @ in front of the 'set echo off' command to suppress it. Is there something similar possible.

PDBA toolkit (from Perl for Oracle DBAs) question
Maybe someone beside the author can answer this question: I'm confused about how to connect to a database using Jared's PDBA toolkit. The various utilities specify command-line options -machine and -database. There's a PDBA::CM connection manager module that can be used to specify environment variables such as ORACLE_HOME. But nowhere do I see how to use a SQL*Net connect string: I have PDBA installed on my PC, and I want to connect to databases on Unix servers; the service name resolution is provided by Oracle Names.

RE: secure connection
Sorry for the mistake. the question was wrong. :( The right question should be : How can I secure the connection between our web server and Oracle Server? Is there any chance to solve this issue with Oracle related solutions or should I use IPsec or smth like that about network security.
