I use it for emails with attachments and running OS commands within

9iAS - Error WTE-03503

2002-06-07 Thread Hussain Ahmed Qadri
Title: 9iAS - Error WTE-03503 





During the installation of 9iAS on my system, with Origin DB residing on the same machine as the APP Server (as this is a trial installation, will shift to the appropriate arrangement once its all oktested), I am facing a problem in installing the Database cache. It got stuck at 96% with the error that Can't import users. I found this document on Metalink which said the workaround for this is to "use DBA studio and import users/sync users option". Can anyone explain this in more detail. I tried to launch DBA studio (the one which comes with Isuite and not the DBA studio of Oracle 8i-Origin DB- installed on the same machine) and for import it required Management server to be configured, which I did. But now when I try to launch DBA studio with the Management server option, it requires a username  password with the newly added management server name written in the management server field. Which username would it be.

What can be the problems with wte-03503, and possible solutions for that.

RE: Oracle 32 Bit running on Solaris 64 Bit

2002-06-07 Thread Lord, David - CSG

Helmut

We run both on the same box, but only in dev.  If my memory serves me
correctly, there's a metalink note about it which recommends NOT using
64-bit oracle unless you need the increased memory addressing.  We needed to
increase the size of the shared pool above what we would use in 32-bit to
avoid 'unable to allocate x bytes of shared memory' errors.  It may also be
slightly slower.

Hi there! 
We are running 32-Bit Oracle Software on Sun Solaris 8 (64-Bit). 
What is the advantage of doing this? 
Why don't we use 64-Bit Orlacle on 64-Bit Solaris? 
Nobody here can answer my question and the systems were set up by a
consultant. So nobody really knows why this was done... Since we are talking
about productions systems, upgrading Oracle Software is not an option...
This is 8.1.7 on Sun Solaris. 
Thanks,

RE: RE: Can we find SQL user

2002-06-07 Thread Stephane Faroult

Sam,
   It looks like you have read Bruce's answer a little too fast. You might also like 
to RTFM the SQL Reference book, section 'functions', entry SYS_CONTEXT - although if 
you also want the SQL text, as Mladen said you must any way join V$SESSION and 
V$SQLAREA - or V$SQLTEXT if your statements are more than 999 characters long.
Concerning Bruce's question about an application server, quite obviously if you have a 
tier sitting in the middle you are done - unless, that is, you use that wonderful 
package, DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO, to fill up (typically) CLIENT_INFO in which case you 
are back to SYS_CONTEXT/V$SESSION.

It may help to see where and why the problem occurs:

This will show where in the code oracle gets the deadlock and may help to
diagnose your problem.

Depends on what you mean by decent;  quite a few silly laws have been
enacted in many countries because of someone's idea of decency.  In the
US, the forms of discrimination that are legally prohibited involve race,
gender, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity/national-origin, and a couple
other things I don't recall right now.

Restrictions like the ones mentioned in this advertisement aren't against
the law, merely foolish.  I personally don't believe that foolishness
requires legislation, only malice...

I'm sure Winston Churchill or someone equally clever had something relevant
to say on the topic.  At the moment, the only quote I can remember is
Churchill's democracy is the absolute worst form of government, except of
course for all the others...

RE: runaway oracle.exe thread on NT / W2K

2002-06-07 Thread Jeffrey Beckstrom



Problem is that can not reproduce on demand. Yesterday, we were doing 
the wrap up for PO G patches, i.e. generate messagess, flexfields, etc. 
Experienced the problem, tried redoing the same tasks and worked. 

Then after bringin up concurrent manager, lots of compile flexfield 
requests started (we had upped number of standard managers from 6 to 30). 
Since CPU at 100%, kept lowering number of standard managers from 30 to 20 and 
eventually back to 6. When requests done noticed cpu at 50%. Stopped 
everything and still at 50% due to a thread. 

Have been running 8.1.7.3.2 on another dev database for about a month with 
no problems, but there also had the problem but don't recall when since at the 
time thought it was a fluke. Did not get concerned until happened again 
(couple times) on another server and that's when openned the TAR. 

Therefore, don't know how to reproduce but getting leary of moving it to 
production.

If you cannot tie that thread to v$process 
then it is likely a problem with a background thread. 

If you are using sqlnet expire time it 
creates 2 threads for each connection, the timer thread will not show up in 
v$process. There are also a few other threads that will not show up related to 
process management. 

One approach:
Once you have a database instance with this 
problem that you are willing to crash you can attach to it with a debugger to 
get a look at what is up. The simple way to do this with little expertise is to 
use:
drwtsn32 -p 
oracle.exe_pid#
This will generate a dump file (given that 
you haven't reconfigured dr watson) that support can review (well, the BDE group 
can) for content. They'll need to know the EXACT version of the database you 
have as well as the OS version (including service packs and hot fixes) to get 
the right dbg symbols in place.

Re: TAF

2002-06-07 Thread Tim Gorman

Fawzia,

PRECONNECT establishes the second/failover database connection along with
the first/primary, so your client-server database connection is really
client-server1/server2.  Should the first/primary connection fail, then you
failover to the second.

BASIC establishes only the first/primary database connection but has the
information available to establish the second/failover connection should the
first/primary fail.

PRECONNECT will failover faster, as the second/failover connection has
already been established.  In a large environment (i.e. hundreds of database
connections) full of BASIC connections, you can expect the mass exodus from
one database instance to the failover to cause BASIC connections to wait a
noticeable amount of time.

One problem with PRECONNECT that I've noticed is the scenario where the
second/failover instance is terminated for some reason first.  Let's say a
bunch of PRECONNECT TAF connections are working away happily via their
first/primary connection to the primary database instance, and there is some
reason to terminate the second database instance or some/all of the
second/failover database connections to the second database instance.  In
this case, PRECONNECT will not notice the loss of the second/failover
database connection, allowing the first/primary connection to continue
working happily away.  But after bringing the second database instance back
online, if the first database instance should now fail, then all those
PRECONNECT sessions will simply fail.

Upshot:  BASIC is more robust, because it fails over only when it needs
to, but you can get caught in a traffic jam in the event of failover.
PRECONNECT can fail over faster because of previously established failover
connections, but if anything happens to that second connection after the
time it is established, then you'll be out of luck.

Hope this helps...

-Tim

EVENT=10235 trace name context forever, level 2

2002-06-07 Thread John Weatherman



Something for the internals 
folks.

Last 
week we had a situation where the production system froze and we had to reboot 
to 
get 
everything working again. Working with Oracle Support, we determained that 
we had
encountered bug 2230693. The workaround was to 
set the event listed above.

Sence 
then I have noticed a significant increasein library cache miss rates 
rates(5%-10%).
The 
event doc indicates that level 2 on 10235 "Do 1 AND fill memory with junk on 
alloc / free".
Does 
this indicate that the library cache also backfills the hash area with junk 
leading to the
miss 
rate performace I am seeing, or should I be looking 
elsewhere?

 Metalink has a note on best practices on this.
 
 The best method of these in my opinion is to have n
 unqiue archive destinations (one per instance). Then
 you can NFS cross mount these destinations to the same
 location from each instance in your environment. RMAN
 can then backup/recover the entire database from a
 single server without having to worry about moving
 files around.
 
 Note that if an instance fails, any of the surviving
 instances can and will archive logs on behalf of the
 failed instance to the local instances archive
 destination.

RE: Recreating TEMP

2002-06-07 Thread Mercadante, Thomas F

Simon,

You only use the TEMP tablespace when performing a GROUP BY or a sort.

In your case, this will not be happening to the SYS account during the drop
and recreate of the tablespace.

PS - change your drop tablespace command to:

SQLDROP tablespace TEMP
   3and DATAFILES;


There are no contents to drop - its a temporary space.

Also, consider using Locally Managed TBS for the TEMP space - it will make
your life much more pleasant.  You will not need to do this again.  Balance
(or match) the extent size of the TBS with the SORT_AREA_SIZE init parameter
so that everything is used efficiently.

Hope this helps.

Hi all ,
I have 2 TEMPORARY tablespaces which I want to drop and recreate with better
storage options. My worries:
1)If I connect as sysdba, what TEMP talespace will sysdba's session be using
given that a select from dba_users shows SYS  SYSTEM users having TEMP as
their TEMPORARY tablespace. Won't the dropping of TEMP leave sysdba in
suspense over which TEMP to use ? Or as long as no sort operations, no need
for TEMP ?
Waiting for your comments before:

Correct way to determine freelists and freelists groups

2002-06-07 Thread Jamadagni, Rajendra

Hi all,

We have a bunch of TEMP tables in our 8161 databases. They are actually
permenant tables but have temporary data in them. Some of these are small
(less than a meg) to few large ones (100M or more). I truncate these tables
once a week.

Until now these used to reside with other regular tables in a common
tablespace and cause fragmentation. I have now created a new tablespace to
store these temp tables and associated indexes. This new tablespace is
created with 1M extents (basically simulation LMT with fixed extent size),
space is not a concern.

After reading metalink note 107090.1, which recommends as follows ...

 Tips for PCTUSED and PCTFREE 
* If the application frequently performs UPDATES that alter 
  sizes of rows greatly, then PCTFREE can be set high and 
  PCTUSED can be set low. This would allow for large amount 
  of space in data blocks for row size growth. 
* If there is more INSERT activity with less UPDATES, the 
  PCTFREE can be set low with average value for PCTUSED to 
  avoid chaining of rows. 
* If the main concern is performance and more space is available, 
  then PCTFREE can be set very high and PCTUSED very low.
* If the main concern in space and not performance, 
  then PCTFREE can set very low and PCTUSED very high.

I am more concerned about performance than space usage, so point 4 stands
out.

Most of these tables will be used by multiple sessions to
insert/update/delete data multiple times a day (and night too). Now that I
have a chance to reorg these tables, I want to come up with appropriate
values for

*   INITTRANS  (current value is 1)
*   FREELISTS  (current value is 1 and 5 on some)
*   FREELIST GROUPS (current value is 1 and 6 on some)

Any ideas on how to do this? Are there any scripts that I can run or monitor
something that would help me?

My DB version is 8161.

Thanks in advance
Raj

Re: Who should I buy Oracle software from?

2002-06-07 Thread Tim Gorman

Resellers can lose their authorization because of some irregularity, such
as failure to comply with the terms of the reseller agreement, poor
recordkeeping, accounting foulups, or even outright embezzlement or criminal
behavior.  Oracle can refuse to do business with anyone it chooses, pretty
much.  Since software can be ordered/downloaded for free from OTN, anybody
with chutzpah can sell Oracle software if they dare...

As far as I know, only authorized Oracle resellers can sell support
contracts.  That is something that can not be faked easily...

Newline char in oracle files

2002-06-07 Thread Seefelt, Beth
Title: Newline char in oracle files







Hi everybody,


I have a very odd problem I hope someone can help me with. I've installed Oracle, OEM and OWB on a couple of NT 4.0 servers in the UK. The text files that Oracle generates during the install - the .config, .ora and the .ctl files from OWB - are generated using a lf as the newline character instead of a cr. The result is that in notepad they all appear as one run-on line with embedded control characters (line feeds). I have not had this problem on any of the servers in the US.

I'm using the same installation media in both places. Is there UK specific media I should be using? Or is there is something in the regional settings on the servers that would determine what newline character is used? 

I've checked the Oracle and Microsoft support sites and even opened a tar but am still stumped, so any suggestions will be appreciated. I've tried contacting our sysadmin about it but I don't expect any response until the England/Argentina match is over :-)

TIA,


Beth

RE: Is this a good upgrade path from 8.0.4 to 8.1.7.2?

2002-06-07 Thread Miller, Jay

I did an 8.0.4.3 to 8.1.7.2 upgrade back in January.  My main nightmare with
that particular upgrade is not likely to affect you (we had a disk failure
while backing up the database prior to upgrade and the server didn't switch
to the mirrored disk until after we rebooted - ended up delaying the start
of the upgrade from midnight to 3am).

Other than that (which understandably stands out in my memory) the main
issue was with installing java.  If you intend to install it I highly
recommend you print out a copy of Document 156477.1.  Allow plenty of time
for the installation (I hadn't allowed enough time since I had only done
8.1.6 java installations before and hadn't realized how long all the extra
steps took).

And just in case you have problems and need to uninstall be sure to have a
copy of Document 159801.1 handy.

I recommend doing the java installation *after* you apply the patch.  This
will save considerable time.

Good luck!

We are preparing to do an upgrade of our Data Warehouse on Sun Solaris from
version 8.0.4.0.0 to 8.1.7.2.

We've done a number of upgrades in the past but this is the first time we
are going from 8.0.4 to 8.1.7.

Following is the basic, high level plan:

1.  Upgrade from 8.0.4 to 8.1.7.0 (Oracle software already pre-installed in
separate Oracle Home).
2.  Apply 8.1.7.2 patchset
3.  Apply separate one-off-patch that we had created for a star
transformation bug.

We are going to use the manual migration method as outlined in the 8.1.7
migration manual.

I've already tested this approach on a full-size RMAN clone of production
that we moved to our QA box.   However, that box already had 8.1.7.2
pre-installed on it before I actually migrated the database.

Just wondering if anyone has gone directly from 8.0.4 to 8.1.7.2.Are
there any gotchas or concerns?   At one point I thought we might have to
upgrade from 8.0.4 to 8.1.5 and then from 8.1.5 to 8.1.7.   But now I can't
find anywhere in the documentation where it says that I need to do that so
we are thinking about saving a little time and going straight from 8.0.4 to
8.1.7.

This is a 200 Gig warehouse which uses Verita Quick I/O, partitioning, star
schema, etc.

Thanks to anyone who can alert me to any potential pitfalls.   I cannot
afford any glitches at all on this upgrade.

Re: Newline char in oracle files

2002-06-07 Thread Jan Pruner

I think it is not a problem of regional setting.
It's the difference between UN*X versus MS platform.

You can convert it to DOS format or use some better editor which can handle 
UN*X text files.

 Hi everybody,

 I have a very odd problem I hope someone can help me with.  I've
 installed Oracle, OEM and OWB on a couple of NT 4.0 servers in the UK.
 The text files that Oracle generates during the install - the .config,
 .ora and the .ctl files from OWB - are generated using a lf as the
 newline character instead of a cr.  The result is that in notepad they
 all appear as one run-on line with embedded control characters (line
 feeds).  I have not had this problem on any of the servers in the US.

 I'm using the same installation media in both places.  Is there UK
 specific media I should be using?  Or is there is something in the
 regional settings on the servers that would determine what newline
 character is used?

 I've checked the Oracle and Microsoft support sites and even opened a
 tar but am still stumped, so any suggestions will be appreciated.  I've
 tried contacting our sysadmin about it but I don't expect any response
 until the England/Argentina match is over :-)

 TIA,

RE: using a lot of temporary tablespace with large sort area size

2002-06-07 Thread Paula_Stankus
Title: RE: using a lot of temporary tablespace with large sort area size





I would think that this is the most efficient way to join the data. BTW, Version is 8.1.7.2 of Oracle. The hash_area_size is 

hash_area_size integer 8388608 


Also, never see from top session more than 4 GB memory being used. Does anyone know of a limit on processes that can be setup on Solaris (NOT ON SGA) but on dynamic memory like sort_area_size on the OS itself???

2002-06-07 Thread Paula_Stankus
Title: RE: using a lot of temporary tablespace with large sort area size





Guys,



Note: 
Oracle does not recommend using the HASH_AREA_SIZE parameter unless the instance is configured with the shared server option. Oracle recommends that you enable automatic sizing of SQL working areas by setting PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET instead. HASH_AREA_SIZE is retained for backward compatibility. Any opinions on how well PGA_AGGRE... works versus using specific parameters?

Hi,

Not sure if it helps, but if the object ACCOUNT already exists, on another

schema, isn't it possible that you have a public synonym for this object (on

the old schema), and imp is trying to create the PK on the wrong object?

Try running IMP with same USER as TOUSER clause.


HTH,

Patricia.

Subject: EXPORT BUG: oncorrect storage parameters being produced

Bug:617486



I posted earlier and someone responded that this was a bug prior to 8.1.7


Please note that error occurs ONLY with the constraints tables etc are

all created without error. If I strip the tablespace params out of the

statement and THEN run the statement, I get no errors.


I had the departmental dba re-run the export using the exp version that

comes with 8.1.7 and we still are getting the same error on import


IMP-00015: following statement failed because the object already exists:

ALTER TABLE ACCOUNT ADD CONSTRAINT PK_ACCOUNT PRIMARY KEY

(ACCOUNT_ID

,GENERATION) USING INDEX PCTFREE 10 INITRANS 2 MAXTRANS 255

STORAGE(INIT

IAL 8388608) TABLESPACE AURDEV_TS ENABLE 


Furthermore, I believe that the error message itself is incorrect.


Here's the setup.


The schema that the export was run on has default tbs of AURDEV_TS


The schema I am trying to import into has default tbs of Users


Both schemas in same Oracle instance.


I dont know if it is looking to try to create the object in the other tbs as

written, but the import users has no rights to that tbs. The object DOES

indeed exist in the tbs but under a different schema.


I found an OLDer bug as follows:


Bug:617486 caused exports to contain invalid DDL for storage clauses. This

fix allow IMPort to IGNORE the ORA-2219 error if the table already exists

providing a way to import any EXPORT generated with a version of EXP

suffering from Bug:617486


Similar but older version and different error message though similar

behavior.


But we are on 8.1.7 and should not see this.


Any comments? (I have no access to metalink)


Thanks,


 Hannah

RE: Index Constraint

2002-06-07 Thread Rajesh . Rao


An example on my understanding of Reverse Key Indices:

Say you have a table EMP with a column EMPNO, and an index on this
field.This number is incremented sequentially for every new employee that
joins in.  And as employees retire, say, the records are deleted. This
would generally mean deletion of records, with lower employee numbers. And
subsequent deletion of indices. As such, deletions from the index are
likely to be concentrated on a small set of leaf blocks towards the
beginning of the index.  A reverse key index, which reverses the bytes for
the column value, could help in uniformly dividing the deletions across
various branches of the index, and avoid a skewed index.

Re: Correct way to determine freelists and freelists groups

2002-06-07 Thread Suzy Vordos


Either comment out the save_sqlplus_setting script or download it from
from www.ixora.com.au.  Do the same for script
restore_sqlplus_settings.  Both scripts just save/restore your current
SQL*Plus settings should another script modify them.

Horrendous Execution Plan from CBO

2002-06-07 Thread Stahlke, Mark

Greetings,

One of our developers came to me with a fairly simple query that runs much
faster when she uses the RBO. I looked at the execution plans generated by
both the RBO and CBO and the CBO's plan is horrible. I was able to get a
reasonable plan from the CBO using a USE_NL hint.

Do any of you SQL tuning gurus have any suggestions? I've listed all the
gory details below.

Thanks,
Mark Stahlke

The Gory Details:
Background: 
Oracle 7.3.4 (I know, I know). PUB has 531324 rows. CNR has 601007 rows.
Both tables analyzed.

The Query:
  1  SELECT
  2  c.acct_key,
  3  c.pub,
  4  c.ref_nbr,
  5  c.sls_nbr_1 cnr_sls_nbr,
  6  p.sls_eff_iss_1,
  7  p.sls_nbr_1_1,
  8  p.sls_nbr_1_2,
  9  p.sls_eff_iss_2,
 10  p.sls_nbr_2_1,
 11  p.sls_nbr_2_2,
 12  p.sls_eff_iss_3,
 13  p.sls_nbr_3_1,
 14  p.sls_nbr_3_2
 15  FROM cnr c, pub p
 16  WHERE c.acct_key = p.acct_key

Here is an excerpt from the actual document:
OPatch can be invoked directly as:

perl opatch command [command_options]  [ -h[elp] ]  [ -n[o_op]

or you can use the wrapper script that will use the version of perl

opatch command  [command_options]  [ -h[elp] ]  [ -n[o_op] ]

perl is the perl binary with a version of 5.6.0 or greater

Simple Oracle database question.

2002-06-07 Thread Meomeo Nguyen
Hi,
Currently I have only one database running on a single host. Supposedly, I need to create multiple databases on the same host. My question is can I open two databases at the same time? I have not done it before, so just wanted to make sure that I can work on two databases all at once.
Thanks in advance

Greetings,

One of our developers came to me with a fairly simple query that runs much
faster when she uses the RBO. I looked at the execution plans generated by
both the RBO and CBO and the CBO's plan is horrible. I was able to get a
reasonable plan from the CBO using a USE_NL hint.

Do any of you SQL tuning gurus have any suggestions? I've listed all the
gory details below.

Mark,

 Do any of you SQL tuning gurus have any suggestions? I've 
 listed all the
 gory details below.

I am not a SQL tuning guru, but it looks like this is an ideal example where
Hash joins would be of immense help. You could set a largish value for
HASH_AREA_SIZE (defaults to twice SORT_AREA_SIZE) to reduce visits to TEMP
to write out hash tables... It would be nice if you could post the
explain/costs for all three methods at the end of your tests.

Yes, just make sure your ORACLE_SID is set correctly when creating or
starting the new database.  You can even have multiple databases each
using a diff version of Oracle.

  Hi, 
  Currently I have only one database running on a single host. 
  Supposedly, I need to create multiple databases on the same host. My 
  question is can I open two databases at the same time? I have not done

I've used RDA for Solaris just recently.  It's pretty slick.  Somebody put a
lot of thought into this tool.  The html pages it generates are a pretty
good snapshot of your environment.  It makes use of frames which makes it
easy to navigate through the information.

I'm going along with John.  Try the hash join.

CBO was less mature in v7, so it may need a little 'help'
to get the plan you want.  Such as a 'hash' hint, or the use_nl
hint if you don't use the hash.

I am not a SQL tuning guru, but it looks like this is an ideal
example where
Hash joins would be of immense help. You could set a largish value
for
HASH_AREA_SIZE (defaults to twice SORT_AREA_SIZE) to reduce visits
to TEMP
to write out hash tables... It would be nice if you could post the
explain/costs for all three methods at the end of your tests.

Re: TAF

2002-06-07 Thread Murali Vallath

Exactly that is what my benchmarks have also noticed.

Couple of other points...

1. Since the PRECONNECT always maintains a connection with the secondary 
instance, there is a 2% overhead compared to the BASIC option.
2. I don't and did not see the need for a PRECONNECT option. Off course like 
Tim indicates there is potential traffic jam situation in the case of the 
BASIC option and there could be small delay. Unless your application is 
being developed for the Stock Exchange or for the space station (where such 
an application may not be useful anyways) I mean machine critical nature you 
should not have to worry.
3. You could use the RETRY/DELAY option combined with the BASIC option to 
cover for any failures/timeouts when the jam occurs.

I had a paper presented on this very subject at the 2001 Open world. You 
should find it on the Oracle website.

Fawzia,

PRECONNECT establishes the second/failover database connection along with
the first/primary, so your client-server database connection is really
client-server1/server2.  Should the first/primary connection fail, then you
failover to the second.

BASIC establishes only the first/primary database connection but has the
information available to establish the second/failover connection should the
first/primary fail.

PRECONNECT will failover faster, as the second/failover connection has
already been established.  In a large environment (i.e. hundreds of database
connections) full of BASIC connections, you can expect the mass exodus from
one database instance to the failover to cause BASIC connections to wait a
noticeable amount of time.

One problem with PRECONNECT that I've noticed is the scenario where the
second/failover instance is terminated for some reason first.  Let's say a
bunch of PRECONNECT TAF connections are working away happily via their
first/primary connection to the primary database instance, and there is some
reason to terminate the second database instance or some/all of the
second/failover database connections to the second database instance.  In
this case, PRECONNECT will not notice the loss of the second/failover
database connection, allowing the first/primary connection to continue
working happily away.  But after bringing the second database instance back
online, if the first database instance should now fail, then all those
PRECONNECT sessions will simply fail.

Upshot:  BASIC is more robust, because it fails over only when it needs
to, but you can get caught in a traffic jam in the event of failover.
PRECONNECT can fail over faster because of previously established failover
connections, but if anything happens to that second connection after the
time it is established, then you'll be out of luck.

Hope this helps...

-Tim

ANALYZE TABLE tname COMPUTE STATISTICS FOR ALL INDEXED COLUMNS;

There was a funny with CBO that it ignored index stats completely
even in some very simple joins.  With 7.3.4.  Usually this fixed
the problem.  Can't remember which patch level fixed the problem,
try this syntax and see if it resolves this issue.

Hint to try:
FIRST_ROWS  (no need to specify table aliases)

Since both tables are of nearly the same number of rows hash
joins would be a bad idea, particularly at 7.3.4.  Stick to
either merge (if you want the lot selected) or nested loops
(if you want subset of all joined rows).
Make sure those join columns are of the SAME data type,
it may be suffering from implicit conversion.

Re: Simple Oracle database question.

2002-06-07 Thread Rachel Carmichael

I currently have 4 databases running and am in the process of creating
a 5th one. thisis on a solaris box. It is possible to run as many
instances as disk space and memory will allow. It might not be good for
performance but you can run more than one on the box.

  Hi,
 Currently I have only one database running on a single host. 
 Supposedly, I need to create multiple databases on the same host.  My
 question is can I open two databases at the same time?  I have not
 done it before, so just wanted to make sure that I can work on two
 databases all at once.

you have spent a good deal of time asking people on this list for help

RE: Oracle DBA with 8i through 11i Experience Needed in

I'm sure Winston Churchill or someone equally clever had something relevant
to say on the topic.  At the moment, the only quote I can remember is
Churchill's democracy is the absolute worst form of government, except of
course for all the others...

Ferenc Mantfeld : 
Churchill, amongst all his other famous quotes once said :
Two things in the world are infinite, man's greed and man's stupidity, but
I am unsure of the former.

and Aussie is a fantastic place to live, if you can block out the mental
picture of being financially raped by the government from month to month. I
can speak from experience having lived for 6.5 years in USA and now
emigrated to Aussie almost 2 years ago. But let us not start a separate
thread on this, because everyone has patriotic views which nobody else will
convince them otherwise of.

I also wish anyone looking for a knowledgeable Ora-Apps DBA at US$70K lots
of luck finding that person. The old goes, when you pay peanuts, .

SQL Question (DISREGARD 1ST MESSAGE, SORRY)

2002-06-07 Thread Viktor

Hello All,

It looks as if I've hit a brick wall and I'd very much
appreciate if you can help. 

desc Names

FIRST_INIT  NOT NULL CHAR(4)
SECOND_INIT NOT NULL CHAR(1)
INIT_SEQUENCE   NOT NULL NUMBER
LAST_NAMEVARCHAR2(30)
FIRST_NAME   VARCHAR2(20)
FLAGNOT NULL NUMBER

desc MEMBER

MEM_FIRST_INIT   CHAR(4)   
MEM_SECOND_INIT  CHAR(1)
MEM_INIT_SEQUENCENUMBER

Member table references Names table on FIRST_INIT,
SECOND_INIT, INIT_SEQUENCE (FOREIGN KEYS).

Names table has NOT NULL column flag. It can only be 0
or 1 -- means Name is a member.

But, not all NAME records with FLAG 1 are in MEMBER.
In other words, records in MEMBER usually represent
other some other types of memership.

But, in this case, I need to get those NAME(parent)
records that have FLAG = 1, and those MEMBER(child)
records that reference NAMES via foreign keys.
Sometimes NAME record with FLAG = 1, also has a MEMBER
record, and it could be that record with FLAG = 1 does
not have a record in MEMBER.

I need all those with FLAG = 1 in NAMES + all records
that are in MEMBER.

Is there another way besides the UNION:

SELECT a.first_init||a.second_init||a.init_sequence
INITIALS,
   a.last_name LAST_NAME, 
   a.first_name FIRST_NAME,
   a.flag MEMBER_FLAG,
FROM names a
WHERE a.advisor_flag = 1
UNION
SELECT a.first_init||a.second_init||a.init_sequence
INITIALS,
   a.last_name LAST_NAME, 
   a.first_name FIRST_NAME,
   a.flag MEMBER_FLAG
FROM names a, 
 members m
WHERE a.first_init = m.mem_first_init
 and a.second_init = m.mem_second_init
 and a.init_sequence = m.mem_init_sequence

Thanks a lot in advance!

Regards,

Viktor
