RE: Enterprise Manger
Hi Bambi, To find out what version of OEM you installed you could open up a NT command prompt and type oemctrl status oms and then cancel out of the box that comes up asking for the OMS login. This works for OEM 2.1 and OEM 2.2, not sure if it works for 2.0.4 and below. 2.1 came with 8.1.6 2.2 came with 8.1.7 2.0.4 is installed into its own home.

Re: Oracle 9i Articles - self tuning, launch delayed to
Eric D. Pierce wrote: Summary Self-tuning, self-managing Oracle9i monitors your system to provide high availability, reliability and minimized downtime.

Crossover Frequency This has nothing to do with bisexuals. It has to do with system stability once the control loop is closed. If the gain margin at the crossover frequency is too large, the system will be unstable. In this case, the operating system and DBA will be blamed. Open loop tuning = advice Closed loop tuning = implemented advice, now put to the test. Consultants have long since left. Run. We don't actually implement solutions, we just recommend them. Amplitude Ratio This has to do with a self-tuning mechanism, and rival tuning goals of server and user processes competing for resources (e.g. memory). A critically dampened tuning algorithm will overshoot the optimal target by 17% and converge on the ideal solution without a sinousoidal response signal. Most others will oscillate in a perpertual fashion. Unfortunately, a 17% overestimation in available memory will cause the paging daemon to chime in, causing the DBA and SysAdmin to disable the auto-tuning in favor of going with what has worked for the past nn years. The Bhopal disaster (MIC) was caused when field personnel disabled 3 layers of control systems and additional safety systems. You can't optimize globally and tune locally.

Re: Data Reporting tools
Dick, Go with Discoverer. As the admin, you can build a subset of the data and push it out to the power users with the data labeled any way you like. You can also give you power users the ability to create their own views if you are so inclined. They accomplish this through the GUI, with no 'direct' access to the database (of course they do, you need to set up their permissions etc., but you can lock it down pretty tight and what they're really creating is data about data which you can excise without harm to your DB at any time). Training is a snap, the interface is familiar and fairly intuitive, particularly for those with Access/Excel skills and experience. I used Discoverer for our Engineering teams to access Remedy (ugh!) data. Crystal Reports was the 'preferred' solution by the vendor, who wanted to send 20+ people to user training for a week to get them up to speed. The Discoverer solution was much simpler and more cost-effective for all involved. They were quite proud of their ability to create ad-hoc reports, and very lavish with their praise of the 'support' they were getting from the DBA! Regards, David A.

Re: import from corrupted export file.
Hi, first of all, be sure that export file is not copied in ASCII mode. if so, You can do: - take a look at import log. find where it's cancelled - I guess internal data structers in export file is not so big. It's so likely that corruption occured on your data. modify binary export file by an binary editor. there may be a note in metalink which explains some structures in expor files. hope this helps...

RE:PICKLER FETCH
A PICKLER FETCH is a fetch that is issued against a table. But before it actually takes place and anything is returned to you it must be: cleansed of any impurities, placed in a dark mysterious place, covered with an un-named substance that makes it feel crunchy when retrieved, allowed to age for a long period of time, and be handled by an internally secret processes. When returned to you it looks similar to what you wanted but it not exactly and you must try again. There are many varieties to this FETCH. Some are the Bread And Butter of the database provider and some are varieties not related to being Kosher. The cure to the PICKLER FETCH problem is the use a larger vat, a faster ageing process, or upgrade the internally secret process. All of which will cost you more .

RE: Which tables are in buffer cache.?
Mark, how do you manually remove objects from buffer cache? I saw you writing before that you know how to do it and I would be very interested to know also if it is not trade secret of course. Alex Hillman -Original Message- Sent: Friday, May 04, 2001 11:11 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Been here: this is a really interesting exercise! You can query v$bh (or its x$ base table) which has a record for every buffer cache block. Link on object ID's While tuning a 3000Tx/sec OLTP database I could get constant 24*7 performance by by examining objects in the buffer cache and manually removing unwanted objects at end of business day. This prevents required objects being aged out and having to be reloaded. Typical scenario is to remove the index for the partition for 'todays' transactions to make room in the buffer cache for 'tomorrows' transactions. Its good fun tuning at this level. I wrote a gui via perl DBI that dumped the bcache contents (similar to the oracle tablespace manager gui) and allows objects to be manually/automatically removed from memory. I think DB2 can do this already. Does 9i allow definition of custom buffer pools (buffer_pool_Transactions for example), each with its own aging algorithm? Ive got the 9i beta cd here but havent even opened it. Too busy.

Eric, We're using Veritas NetBackup DataCenter (at our colocation facility) for Win2k and it's been pretty good. We had a problem earlier this year that eventually prompted Veritas to issue a patched version of one of the executables. They were very responsive, but it was probably due to the clout of our colocation host. Veritas distributes some nice scripts for use with RMan (we use 8.1.6).

RE: Export question.
OK, To answer a couple of questions, I did use compute statistics to get the stats. I did not use compress=y. The table should have been 420Mb according to the avg_row_len*num_rows calculation.

saving billions? / fwd: GE Scales Back Amid Struggle To Connect Suppliers
fyi (follow up to the thread about Oracle's claims to save billions by converting business practices with internet technology) ---original message follows--- Date sent: Thu, 10 May 2001 02:03:28 -0400 (EDT) TODAY'S NEWS * GE Scales Back Amid Struggle To Connect Suppliers ... * OPINION: Rob Preston: There's No Shame In Realization That E-Biz Is Tough ... *** GE Scales Back Amid Struggle To Connect Suppliers General Electric Co., a harbinger of the e-business future for many companies, is scaling back its expectations of the Internet. In the process, GE is calling into question whether it's even possible to build a fully Net-enabled supply chain. The $130 billion conglomerate, which boldly predicted last June that it would use Internet technology to cut $10 billion in costs by mid-2002, conceded last week that it will only record $1.6 billion in savings this year. One big reason for the revised estimates: GE is having trouble connecting customers and suppliers to Web-trading systems. While executives wouldn't say how many suppliers it works with on the Web to perform critical functions, such as order-taking and logistics management, experts placed the figure at roughly 25 percent, or 7,500, of GE's 30,000 suppliers. Another 7,500 or so connect to GE using electronic data interchange (EDI) networks that predate the Internet. That leaves 15,000 that rely mainly on manual processes to conduct business with GE. GE executives wouldn't reset the timetable for 100 percent supplier Web-enablement, but a step toward that goal will be reached in November, by which point GE will use the Web to pay all suppliers electronically, officials said. --Chuck Moozakis Read on: http://update.internetweek.com/cgi-bin4/flo?y=eDfk0BdpN70V30Nma0Au *** ... *** OPINION: Rob Preston: There's No Shame In Realization That E-Biz Is Tough No one said e-business transformation would be easy. At least Jack Welch never did. When Welch, General Electric's no-nonsense chairman, first marshaled his top executives two years ago to drive most every company process and partner interaction onto the Internet, the understanding--as with all Welch directives--was for swift and unswerving compliance. But he knew that the Internet wouldn't transform the 120-year-old company overnight, even if the execs he had whipped into a frenzy proceeded to tout every incremental e-business milestone. The company has come to realize that Internet-enabling its sprawling value chain of strategic suppliers and business customers--the place where real e-transformation takes place--will take longer than the internal stuff. But there's no shame in this realization. E-business is a constantly moving target. The best companies learn from their mistakes and miscalculations--and they move on. --Rob Preston Get the whole story: http://update.internetweek.com/cgi-bin4/flo?y=eDfk0BdpN70V30Nmh0A2 *** ...

Why do I still see index partitions when I dropped the underlying table
This one's got me stumped. We are on 8.0.4 on Sun Solaris 2.6. I have some locally indexed partitions on a table that's partitioned by time. I dropped the '96 and '95 partitions of the underlying table and I no longer see them. I used the following statements: alter table xx truncate partition 95 drop storage; alter table xx drop partition 95; According to the documentation, the corresponding '95 and '96 index partitions (for a locally indexed table which I confirmed that it is using the LOCALITY column of dba_ind_partitions) should be dropped automatically. However, when I query dba_ind_partitions view, I can still see them. Documentation says I can not specifically drop index partitions of locally indexed tables (can only do this for globally indexed tables). I actually tried to drop these partitions and Oracle gave me an error message saying I couldn't do it because it was a local index. I thought these index partition 95 and 96 would go away. Why do I still see them? We will rebuild the index tonight but I can't rebuild the whole index right now - too much performance degredation. I'm just curious about what is going on. Do I need to refresh something? Is there anything low-impact I can do right now to make these index partitions go away? Do I even need to care? Thanks for any kind soul with answers.

Re: When to go for ORACLE NAMES Server
Somewhat of a pain to setup for the first time, for sure. But after you get it implemented, you will never want to go back. One caveat: There is a fair amount of software around that *requires* tnsnames.ora or it won't work. Oracle Forms on unix comes to mind. Yes, Oracle's own software does not fully utilize names. This is a minor problem when compared to the benefits though.

RE: RE: Silver vs. Gold support
I am confused now, I thought Oracle was rolling up the support costs into the license cost calculations now that they discontinued the Bronze, Silver, Gold support options.

Alex Hillman -Original Message- Sent: Friday, May 04, 2001 11:11 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Been here: this is a really interesting exercise! You can query v$bh (or its x$ base table) which has a record for every buffer cache block. Link on object ID's While tuning a 3000Tx/sec OLTP database I could get constant 24*7 performance by by examining objects in the buffer cache and manually removing unwanted objects at end of business day. This prevents required objects being aged out and having to be reloaded. Typical scenario is to remove the index for the partition for 'todays' transactions to make room in the buffer cache for 'tomorrows' transactions. Its good fun tuning at this level. I wrote a gui via perl DBI that dumped the bcache contents (similar to the oracle tablespace manager gui) and allows objects to be manually/automatically removed from memory. I think DB2 can do this already. Does 9i allow definition of custom buffer pools (buffer_pool_Transactions for example), each with its own aging algorithm?

RE: Password with special character
If you're using the a profile with a password_verify function, then you shouldn't be using ALTER USER to change a user's password. If you are trying to change the password through SQL*Plus, then you should instead be using the SQL*Plus PASSWORD command: SQL PASSWORD username Using this command will validate the user's new password using the password_verify function that is specified in the user's profile, and will allow for the password to contain the special characters that you are trying to use. When you use ALTER USER it doesn't use that password_verify function, and because it is a DDL command, it limits you to Oracle's object naming restrictions, which will not allow you to use most special characters. For more information on this, see the Oracle8i Administrators Guide, pp 21-15 under Password Complexity Verification, and also the SQL*Plus Users Guide and Reference Release 8.1.6, pp 8-76 for details on using the PASSWORD command.

RE: Oracle 9i Articles - self tuning, launch delayed to
Eric, Sales and marketing have 1 job and that is to sell and market. These marketing things are teasers not necessarily giving detailed information. I have not checked but there may be some Oracle9i stuff on OLN. I think OLN has a trial membership (for 30 days?). However I am not sure of the detail. I do know that 9i still offers the old way of tuning, however you can have Oracle do it for you if you want. The automatic tuning allows Oracle to adjust memory structures dynamically and when oracle adjusts these structures it write that information to the SPFILE. The SPFILE is the oracle managed init.ora. This dynamic tuning can also be temporary instead of persistent. 9i also brings back the ability to monitor the buffer cache. This will help you in determining if you need to add or subtract buffers. As far as the MTTR goes, you have this in 8i as well. Oracle8i has you specify the MTTR information in blocks where oracle9i has you specify it in seconds, then oracle9i will determine how many blocks and how often the blocks need to be written to the redo logs for faster instance recovery. Oracle managed files are nothing special. Oracle already creates the datafile for you. Oracle9i allows you to specify an init.ora parameter to specify where the datafiles get created by default. This also works for log files. This way you say CREATE TABLESPACE test and oracle will create the datafile in the specified location from the init.ora. Oracle managed UNDO are also just rollback segments that are managed by Oracle and not you. The oracle managed UNDO are still segments just like the ones you create. The oracle managed UNDO(AUTO) has features that you can't get with old way of doing UNDO (Manual). The AUTO undo automatically creates UNDO segments based on init.ora parameters that I haven't quite figured out yet. The AUTO undo also allows retention of UNDO for a specified period of time. I haven't tested this but have been told that AUTO undo can steal extents from other rollback segments if that specific rollback segment needs more space (extents) and cannot extend in the current tablespace. Scott dude, The article is not actually providing details, it is just reporting that Oracle has provided details. Who got them, when, how, where is a different story. :) It is weird how the article doesn't cite any specific sources at Oracle. I even looked in www.oracle.com's press releases page (yuk), and so forth, and couldn't see anything. Although there is a Press Portal at www.oracle.com that seems to require registration prior to access. In terms of general 9i product information, there is a lot of stuff (see below), but I couldn't find *anything* at the first or second level of the 9i info that jumped out at me as being focused clearly explaining self tuning details. The data sheet on Oracle9i Manageability (URL below) refers http://www.oracle.com/ip/deploy/database/9i/continuity/index.html?manageas.html to startup/backup issues, and indicates that a persistent INIT.ORA feature is used to bring self tuned parameter settings across shutdowns. Sounds like an incredibly giant pile of cr*p to me. The assumption they are presumably arguing *against* is that self-tuned features would somehow be non-persistent. The circumstances under which a self tuning database would forget what it had done previously is unexplained. Apparently the people that produce the marketing drivel at Oracle either have no clue about this specific topic, or the material was presented to them in an incoherent maner (or both). At any rate it is exceptionally unhelpful to the reader (especially those without a lot of time to waste) to hae to attempt to make sense out of such garbage. Moving right along... In the Resource Management section (same URL): - self-managing rollback segments (some detail) - multi-block size db files for portability - memory management: * SGA self tuning (buffer cache and shared pool) * SGA tuning advisories * transparent management of working memory for SQL execution by self tuning the initialization runtime parameters controlling allocation of private memory - Oracle Managed Files (auto creation of db files) - control downtime ... specify mean time to recover (MTTR) ... in number of seconds ... coupled with dynamic initialization parameters ... improve database availability (which means ??, I don't know) - new capability ... resumable statements ... temporarily suspend ... operation ... process encounters out of space errors ... fix problem ... resume the operation from the point of interruption ... without disrupting normal database operations [new section:] End-to-End Management of Oracle's Internet Infrastructure ... is continuous system availability, reliability, and performance ... important
RE: After Update on TABLE_NAME For Each Row... Triggers and
I ran a few tests of this on both a 7.3.4 and 8.1.6 database and found there is definitely a difference in the way Oracle handles FK constraints. In my tests, I created a PARENT and CHILD table, with FK constraint, and with a trigger on the CHILD. I used two differenct after update triggers: one slept for 2 seconds (sleepy), one inserted old and new data into a RESULTS table. I then ran two updates, one successful and one unsuccessful due to the FK. Tracing was on. I'll paste parts of the trace files at the end. The main points are that: In 7.3.4 Oracle checks the FK by running SELECT null FROM parent WHERE id=:1 If this succeeeds, run the trigger, otherwise get the FK name for the error message In 8.1.6 the trigger is run regardless, and rolled back if necessary. I see the Insert for the RESULTS table even when the FK is violated. I also see the extra 2 second wait in the trace file for my sleepy trigger.

Re: Password with special character

RE: When to go for ORACLE NAMES Server
Too much of a kill? Not at all. We are currently running ONAMES, and are planning on going OID as soon as we can get some time. OID (Oracle's LDAP) has other benefits like being able to authenticate more than just Oracle connections. ONAMES is relatively easy to setup. For your configuration, you will probably want to have a region database (repository), as well as more than one NAMES server running on different boxes for redundancy. With that setup, you can lose the region DB with no loss of service (each NAMES server keeps a local cache which is updated periodically), or either ONAMES server with no loss of connection for your clients. I hate to say it, but the Java Net8 Assistant does help quite a bit in setting up ONAMES. That is, when it doesn't hang or crash... When your ONAMES is setup, you will need to modify every client's SQLNET.ORA file to tell the client to resolve database aliases thru Names. Something like this: NAMES.PREFERRED_SERVERS = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myserver1)(PORT = 1575)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myserver2)(PORT = 1575)) ) NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (ONAMES) -Original Message- From: Johnson Poovathummoottil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 11, 2001 11:15 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: When to go for ORACLE NAMES Server There is another thread going on about no database on a single server, I have another question to ask.

Re: Why do I still see index partitions when I dropped the
Cherie, I take it that you built your indexes as create index xxx on table(col) local (partition x1 on tablespace 95, partition x2 on tablespace 96..) then you truncated the table in the partition 95 and then dropped the partition. If I remember correctly the index for the dropped partition is still there and you can clean it up by using the (alter index xxx rebuild partition x1) if the partition still exists but is empty. In your case I think that you will have to rebuild the complete index again because you have changed the make-up of the table layout. Updates and corrections please. ROR mª¿ªm [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/11/01 01:11PM This one's got me stumped. We are on 8.0.4 on Sun Solaris 2.6. I have some locally indexed partitions on a table that's partitioned by time. I dropped the '96 and '95 partitions of the underlying table and I no longer see them. I used the following statements: alter table xx truncate partition 95 drop storage; alter table xx drop partition 95; According to the documentation, the corresponding '95 and '96 index partitions (for a locally indexed table which I confirmed that it is using the LOCALITY column of dba_ind_partitions) should be dropped automatically. However, when I query dba_ind_partitions view, I can still see them. Documentation says I can not specifically drop index partitions of locally indexed tables (can only do this for globally indexed tables). I actually tried to drop these partitions and Oracle gave me an error message saying I couldn't do it because it was a local index. I thought these index partition 95 and 96 would go away. Why do I still see them? We will rebuild the index tonight but I can't rebuild the whole index right now - too much performance degredation. I'm just curious about what is going on. Do I need to refresh something? Is there anything low-impact I can do right now to make these index partitions go away? Do I even need to care? Thanks for any kind soul with answers.

Re: I want to re-install system, how can I backup and recover?
well if you are lucky and all the files are there, yes, backup the physical datafiles and when you bring the database up again, Oracle will recover. You MAY have to open the database resetlogs. Questions though: is the database still up? Can you shut it down cleanly (shutdown) and then do a cold backup of all the files? You are golden then. if the database is NOT up, do you run the database in archivelog or nonarchivelog mode. This will determine what you have to do to restart/recover the database. But no matter what take a backup of ALL the physical files on your system. This gives you a place to go back to if you do something incorrectly. Always good to have somewhere to go to start over.

Can I partition my primary key constraint index?
Oracle will automatically create an index for your primary key constraint. I have a lot of large partitioned tables in my data warehouse. All of my primary key indexes are non-partitioned. I would like them to be partitioned. When I drop the constraint and re-enable it, can I specify at that time that I want the index to be partitioned? Or do I need to drop my index and rebuild it to be partitioned after the fact? Is there any problem with having partitioned primary key indexes?
