The user then will grant the DBA all privileges with the grant option so the DBA can have some resemblence of control over the table. If you only allow a user to delete then as the DBA you have to export the table, truncate the table, and import the data to clean it up and defrag it.

Oracle InterMedia/Blob,Clob
Hi Experts, Oracle interMedia enables Oracle8i to manage image, audio, video in an integrated fashion with other enterprise information. This means that complex multimedia data can be stored, retrieved, and manipulated by Oracle8i in the same fashion as traditional relational data using data types ORDAudio, ORDImage and ORDVideo. Using JDeveloper i can quickly easily build JSP applications using these data types for storing , retrieving and manipulating image, audio and video files. My questions is how can we achieve the same results with document formats which contain text like *.pdf , *.doc , *.ppt etc ??. I suspect we can use BLOB or CLOB data types to store them but then how the be retrieved and manipulated using web based applications developed using JDeveloper? Kindly recommend any web links or share u'r experience in handling document formats which contain text like *.pdf , *.doc , *.ppt stored in Blobs or Clobs and accessed using web applications.

In the 9iR2 documentation for RMAN is clearly states that during backups using the PLUS ARCHIVELOG command, RMAN does force a log switch. When you do a backup using the PLUS ARCHIVELOG command RMAN will: Run ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT Runs the BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ALL command. Backs up the files specified in the BACKUP command. Run ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT again. Back up any remaining archived redo logs. A normal backup of archived redo logs such as BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ALL will not result in a log switch. Robert G.

At least. I've not seen it. In my archive Rman database backups, I issue an 'alter system archive log current' before I backup the archive files to make sure that I have the latest archive I can possible get. Unless I'm convinced that Rman is doing this for me, I have no reason to change my procedures. You could certainly include this command both within an Rman script or elsewhere to make sure that you get the same benefit. Hope this helps. Tom Mercadante Oracle Certified Professional -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2002 1:18 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Ruth - At this point we just RMAN to disk. Someone on this list provided that advice as start simple. I was using RMAN to store the archive logs, but that just used up twice the disk space and I could discern no benefit so I stopped it (always open to new reasons). On recovery, RMAN uses the original archive logs just fine. I just want to make sure we have the right archive logs on tape, and this morning I posted an update to my original question, namely that I found where RMAN automatically issues an ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT. I'm a little confused about the timestamp on the archive logs, but I guess I just have to take it on faith that Oracle and RMAN are doing the right thing. Thanks Ruth.

Changing ONAMES enrtries fiasco
Hey all, I want to make changes to the ONAMES region database (8.0.5.0.1 on OpenVMS) entries because I didn't fully qualify the host names in the network aliases. And now that I can VPN in to work (thanks to DirecTV DSL!), I can't use ONAMES because my machine at home is in a different IP domain. After going round with Oracle Support because they thought I wanted to default domain the alias instead of the IP host, they say that the only way to change an existing ONAMES alias is to drop and recreate it. W! So, I've experimented with directly modifying the rows of the ONRS_REGION table in the region database with some success. e.g. I've changed this: (DATA_LIST=(FLAGS=0x1)(DATA=(TYPE=a.smd.)(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = mysid) to this: (DATA_LIST=(FLAGS=0x1)(DATA=(TYPE=a.smd.)(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost.qtiworld.com)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = mysid) ...in the aforementioned table and reloaded the primary and secondary ONAMES servers with NAMESCTL RELOAD. A 9iR2 tnsping using ONAMES for names resolution proved that the new address was used successfully. Has anyone else done this change safely and successfully in a production environment? I'm not able to reproduce the production Oracle Networking environment, so I can't really make a valid test area. TIA!

RE: Is the effect of modifying PCTFREE/PCTUSED immediate ?
Let me clarify my original question. I do not expect the FreeList for a table to get updated instantaneously after I change the PCTFREE/PCTUSED. What I meant by is the effect ... immediate is that do the new values come into play immediately -- even for existing blocks. Suppose I have a table where PCTFREE was high (40) and PCTUSED high (50 or 60). Thus, ignoring deletes [and overheads], there would have been about 60% [100-40] usage in the block -- these could mean a large number of rows. Now, I want to reduce the number of rows in a block -- the particular table is a hot table where some blocks become very hot spots [extremely high rate of updates to existing rows, updates which do not increase the size of existing rows]. My cache buffer chains latch contention is high. I further introduce the possibility of deletes [e.g. a purge job running daily]. Because PCTUSED is high, and not very many rows in a block get deleted at each purge, the block is unlikely to come into the FreeList early. It would be a number of days before enough rows are deleted from the block. Therefore, to reduce the contention for the hot blocks, I decide to have only 1 row in each block. Normally, with a *NEW* table, PCTFRE 99 and PCTUSED 1 would ensure that I have only 1 row per block. But if I have a large number of blocks in a few extents created when PCTFREE was 40 and PCTUSED 50 or 60. When would these existing blocks start behaving as if they were created with PCTFREE 99 and PCTUSED 1 ? How about new blocks ? Would new [empty] blocks in existing extents immediately behave such that they allow only one row per block ? Or would only new blocks in new extents take the PCTFREE 99 and PCTUSED 1 attributes ?

datafile sizing question
Okay, I'm about to create some locally managed tablespaces for some large partitioned tables. I plan on making each datafile 2GB, with an extent of 20M. What I've done other times when I use LMTs is add 64K to the file size, for the bitmap header, so that I don't waste most of an extent. But in those cases, the datafile size has been less than 2GB. We will be on Solaris 2.8, I know that the OS can handle files larger than 2GB but it makes me nervous to do this. I hate to waste most of 20M just for the bitmap header. Is my thinking way off?

If as you say there is only 1 row to a block then that would need to be deleted so that the block became available on the freelist and the new values would apply once a new row was inserted. Moving on from there it seems logical to me (that may be where I am going wrong!!) that an existing empty block will have it's values changed and will remain on the freelist but with revised parameters.

Oracle trace file question
Hello all I am trying to debug a mysterious sporadic error that a Visual Basic program using ADO is hitting. In reviewing the trace file, we see an odd series of SQL statements. Before performing a 3 table join, a select * from table is issued for each of the tables to be joined. The developer swears ADO isn't doing this. I can't think Oracle would decide to spontaneously do this. These are large tables so if it were really occurring, the communications line would be tied up for a long time, but the developer is able to get subsecond response.

Re: Oracle InterMedia/Blob,Clob
The interMedia Text option certainly handles PDF, DOC PPT. I believe JDeveloper is pretty well integrated with interMedia Text, so I suspect that it does what you're looking for.

Title: RE: datafile sizing question We created two datafiles of 16GB+64K all LMT autoallocate ... never gave a problem.

RE: Yet another request for your experiences
On VMS, I believe the I/O is async by default (probably via $QIO calls), so there's no benefit there. This is from memory, as I'm not able to confirm or deny that with a quick search. On HP/UX, you can't use async with a cooked volume, and in MetaLink 139272.1 it says not to use multiple DBWRs with async (not recommended).

RE: Oracle trace file question
Dennis,
I've seen ADO do some pretty strange stuff under the covers on my project
also. Ny guess is that ADO is sending these sql statements kinda like a
prepare statement, just to see if the query will pass muster - like basic
security checks - does the table exists, etc. My guess is that it just
compiles the sql, but does not fetch any data.
We had something similar with all of our PL/SQL Package call statements. We
traced ADO doing a DBMS_DESCRIBE {package_name} first, getting the parameter
names, then calling the package directly. We got Microsoft in here for
another problem, and he told the developers how to stop ADO from doing that.
It was all an un-documented item, by the way.
If you can, post the question to the Microsoft development team and see what
they say about it. My guess is that they could help you resolve the
problem.
Hope this helps.

RE: Best Practice - Partitioned object, one partition per tablesp
Robert - That is how I've generally done it. If you are partitioning because the table is very large, then separate tablespaces gives you the flexibility to place these partitions on separate devices so you can get some parallel I/O going.

I believe that the OS filesystem has to be configured for large file support (on HP-UX, it's a kernel parameter) to allow files 2 GB. I usually just add 1 MB to the file size to allow for the header.

RE: How to reproduce a hanging connect attempt
OK, maybe adequate was the wrong word.
It *can* be done with ksh. But it's rather ungainly.
In Perl:
my $dbh = '';
eval {
local $SIG{ALRM} = sub { die };
alarm 60;
my $dbh = DBI-connect(
'dbi:Oracle:' . $db,
'scott','tiger',
);
};
alarm 0;
unless ($dbh) {
print db $db is down;
}
In addition, there are a number of other things I do with my
monitoring scripts that could probably be done in ksh, but
Perl is a much better tool for the job. Notification of DBA's on
a rotating schedule, optional notification of a manager.
Set hours of operation per database, don't page the DBA
outside those hours, just send email.
Set hours to page immediately, outside of those hours don't
page until a configurable number of attempts have been made.
etc, etc, etc.
Now I'm getting far afield, and I'll stop.

Thanks for the info Ian.
I've been asked to prove why sqlplus and ksh are not
adequate for checking connectity. The third possibility,
a hang, is exactly that reason.
I'm trying to duplicate what can actually happen to cause
a hanging connection. I've been burned by that in the
past when my script didn't properly allow for hangs.

Subject:RE: How to reproduce a hanging connect attempt
Have you fooled with the CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER parameter of
listener.ora? Setting it to 0 won't guarantee a connection will hang, but
will tell a process to wait forever to connect. Hanging connections were
a problem for us with the earlier Oracle 6 releases. My solution was less
elegant. It used one program which attempted to connect, wrote a
timestamp, and signaled if the connection failed ; another checked the
timestamp against the current time and signaled if yhe difference was too
great I cannot recall seeing the hanging problem for years, but we still
run the program to check for it.
I've been stating that three things can happen on an Oracle connection
attempt for years: it can be successful, it can fail, or it can hang and
return nothing. Yet, 100% of the scripts I see which attempt to connect
to the database to ensure it is functional do not consider the third
possibility.
Seems with your upcoming article that percentage will drop to 99..

Dear List,
As an example for an article I'm working on, I'm showing how
a hanging connect can be timed out in a Perl script via the
alarm() call.
By 'hanging connect' I mean a connection attempt that never
connects and never returns an error code.
I have one right now on my Linux box. I started a database, did
kill -9 on the oracle processes, and now attempts to login
to the database hang. It's been that way for 24 hours now.
e.g. sqlplus scott/tiger@ts98
. never returns an error code, never connects.
Guess it isn't going to connect. This could be a problem in a
ksh script written to check connectivity. ( which is why I
use Perl )
The question is, why? What is a consistent way to reproduce
this error? The method I used isn't consistent.
This is something that I see happen from time to time on Oracle
databases, both NT and Unix platforms, hence the reason for
the timeout on the connect.
Any thoughts on how to consistently reproduce this, on either platform?
Thanks,
Jared

Title: RE: Best Practice - Partitioned object, one partition per tablespace, What if working on limited I/O so that striping is done at the OS level mostly. In this case there is no advantage to one partition - one tablespace and if there are many partitions it just gets hard to maintain. Partition elimination without separate I/O is the advantage of partitioning along with local indexes which is not dependent on the partitions tablespace.

Hey all,
I want to make changes to the ONAMES region database

entries because I didn't fully qualify the host
names in the network
aliases. And now that I can VPN in to work (thanks
to DirecTV DSL!), I
can't use ONAMES because my machine at home is in a
different IP domain.
After going round with Oracle Support because they
thought I wanted to
default domain the alias instead of the IP host,
they say that the only way
to change an existing ONAMES alias is to drop and
recreate it. W! So,
I've experimented with directly modifying the rows
of the ONRS_REGION table
in the region database with some success. e.g. I've
changed this:
(DATA_LIST=(FLAGS=0x1)(DATA=(TYPE=a.smd.)(DESCRIPTION
= (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL

= (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL
= TCP)(HOST = myhost.qtiworld.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID =
mysid)
...in the aforementioned table and reloaded the
primary and secondary ONAMES
servers with NAMESCTL RELOAD. A 9iR2 tnsping
using ONAMES for names
resolution proved that the new address was used
successfully.
Has anyone else done this change safely and
successfully in a production
environment? I'm not able to reproduce the
production Oracle Networking
environment, so I can't really make a valid test
area.

RE: Changing ONAMES enrtries fiasco
Excellent! Glag to see I won't exactly be a guinea pig for this.
One question: Do you issue an ONAMES RELOAD after this is done? I'm not
sure how else the Names Server would be made aware of the change, except
after it's daily (by default) region DB refresh.

That sounds about right! You can get back to your boss with a little sleep deprivation tactics. Beep him hourly with the progress report and he'll trust you much more the next time.

OT: MIcrosoft Blackmail
Title: OT: MIcrosoft Blackmail This came to our DBA team today. I'd appreciate your thoughts. I'm not a business guy, just a plain old Apps DBA, but this really pisses me off. Is it common practice by MS? It is important from an Architecture point of view that we understand all the various approaches to web services (also known as grid computing -- see my recent report). Microsoft's dot Net initiative is their approach to this grand overarching software strategy. There is a second reason why we might be interested specifically in dot Net. Subsidiary XYZ earns $xyz a year for us from Microsoft by [performing certain services], etc. Microsoft has told our management that one of their criteria for evaluating their vendors will be how good of a MS customer is the potential vendor. Specifically, has the vendor bought in to the dot Net strategy. Now we aren't going to make our global enterprise solutions strategy decisions based upon that point alone, but it's not something we are going to ignore either. Therefore, I support investigating SQL server, Biz Talk, and dot Net, but I emphasize the word INVESTIGATING.
RE: Help on Effect of changing NLS_LANGUAGE to maerican_america.u
Since WE8ISO8859P1 is not a strict subset of UTF8, you will need to recreate the database. Since you need to recreate, take to opportunity to upgrade to 8.1.7.4 or 9.0.2 Also, I would suggest upgrading to at least Dev 6i, patchset 6 (6.0.8.15), but preferable patchset 10 (6.0.8.19). This resolved a lot of UTF8 issues we had. Also, see note below from metalink. Also realize that your services (forms, reports, listener,etc) sould also run in a UTF8 environment. It will be up to the client to translate to the required regional encoding. Also realize that printing will now become an issue. Most printers can not handle UTF8 encoded data. You will need to investigate the PASTA print utility, or optionally, run a separate report server for each regional environment. Also realise... As you can see, this is not a decision to be made lightly. I'm still struggling with some of these issues. I support an Oracle Applications installation that is multi-national (US, Brazilian Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese)- it's been loads of fun! - ## We know that WE8ISO8859P1 is not a strict subset of UTF8, ## so is a DB receation required to use the new Char Set? Yes, it is. ## What are the implications of this conversion? All strings that are not pure ASCII (codes 0-127) will expand because the non-ASCII WE8ISO8859P1 characters will occupy 2 bytes each. This must be accounted for in the new table definitions. ## Please outline the steps in performing this conversion. General steps are: - Use the Character Set Scanner (see otn.oracle.com) to verify that all your WE8ISO8859P1 data in the old database are Convertible (no Exceptions). Illegal WE8MSWIN1252 characters (like the TM sign, smart quotes, etc.) may appear in WE8ISO885P1 databases used with Windows clients - Create a new UTF8 database - If you have scripts to create your application tables, correct
Another datafile sizing question
I am in the process of upgrading our databases from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7, possibly 9i depending on application certifications. I currently have a tablespace that is made up of 4 - 200mb datafiles, my first thought would be to create a 800mb datafile and move all the data into it, The growth of this tablespace is maybe 100 to 150Mb a year, and from what I understand all datafiles should be the same size. So at that point when I need another datafile, I will have to create another 800Mb datafile. Would that be a good practise, or should I stay with multiple 200/300/400/500 etc datafiles ?

They don't fetch from the cursors; they just read the select-column information returned in order to perform a crude DESCRIBE of the table... - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 11:53 AM Hello all I am trying to debug a mysterious sporadic error that a Visual Basic program using ADO is hitting.

RE: Another datafile sizing question
It's late at night maybe that's why I do not understand your answer but I do not see the link between LMT and the number/size of datafiles. One reason of multiple datafiles id to spread IO but since nowadays a majority of sites goes on huge disk box using raid 5 (that's what we have, the unix guys are the IT master here) multiple files is less meaningful. What I liked is a file politics where you restrained the number of file size. Here we have from 15M up to 8.5G file size with all the possibility in between. I'm trying to standardize all that. Another factor to consider is backup and recovery. Restoring a 10G file will take more time than a 2G file. In your case, if file placement is not possible than go for a 800M file and use a second one for the future growth. -- DENNIS WILLIAMS [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit : Darren - My advice would be to read up on Locally Managed Tablespaces (LMT) and uniform extents.

Advanced Queues for dummies
Hi, We're investigating the use of Advanced Queues as a way of transferring information between OSI's PI and Oracle. The data will originate on the Oracle side and end up in PI. We were thinking of using Oracle's Heterogeneous services and PI's ODBC driver, but ran into 2 phase commit errors (how do you tell a commit not be a 2-phase commit) and problems (ie not supported until 9iR2) with autonomous transactions and database links. We're using Oracle 81714 (soon to be 81745) on Windows. Having not used Advanced Queues before, I will look at the manuals, but is their a site or book on Advanced Queues for dummies (otherwise known as Intro to Advanced Queues in Oracle). For those who use Advanced queues, one of our developers read that Creating a queue table in a tablespace will disable that particular tablespace for point-in-time recovery. -Do you normally put your AQ tables in a separate tablespace? - Who normally owns the queues and queue tables - system or the application schema.

I plan on making each datafile 2GB, with an extent of 20M. What I've done other times when I use LMTs is add 64K to the file size, for the bitmap header, so that I don't waste most of an extent. But in those cases, the datafile size has been less than 2GB. We will be on Solaris 2.8, I know that the OS can handle files larger than 2GB but it makes me nervous to do this. I hate to waste most of 20M just for the bitmap header. Is my thinking way off? If you've been doing this sort of sizing (it's a data warehouse, yes), what have you done? thanks!

The Unsupported function alarm function is unimplemented at C:\evaldb.pl

migrating 8.x-9i and charsets
Title: migrating 8.x-9i and charsets Ron I was reading your response about converting to UTF8 and it has risen some curiosity with my situation and recent upgrade of a DB from 8.1.7.2 to 9.1.0.3. A snippet from the migration manual states:If the old National Character Set is UTF8, then the new National Character Set will be UTF8. Otherwise, the National Character Set is changed to AL16UTF16. the character set at the time was AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 which my understanding is that the character set would become AL16UTF16. I never could get the character set scanner to accept the tochar=AL16UTF16 or tochar=al16utf16 parameter(s). It would result in CSS-00115: invalid character set name AL16UTF16 or CSS-00115: invalid character set name al16utf16. I went forward with the upgrade. I would like to know if there is anything I can do to check the data after this change or did the ccscan need only need to be ran against converting to UTF8. This test database houses the 11i applications objects. TIA for any information
RE: migrating 8.x-9i and charsets
Title: RE: migrating 8.x-9i and charsets what I found odd after reading the migration manual is that the 9i upgrade database is still showing: NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1 NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1 I haven't found any issues with functionality, keeping in mind this two tier instance doesn't contain any buisness data either. Most of this questioning is derived from my lack of understanding the charsets, not knowing what warrants choosing one over the other, and well maybe the part about the conversion possibly creating truncated or expanded data. again TIA to anyone who has any input. -Original Message- From: Markham, Richard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 9:28 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: migrating 8.x-9i and charsets Ron I was reading your response about converting to UTF8 and it has risen some curiosity with my situation and recent upgrade of a DB from 8.1.7.2 to 9.1.0.3.

Re: DBA work load - BDBAFH #1
It's backup day today so I'm pissed off. Being the BDBAFH, however, does have it's advantages. I reassign null to be the tape device - it's so much more economical on my time as I don't have to keep getting up to change tapes every 5 minutes. And it speeds up RMAN too, so it can't be all bad can it? Of course not. A user rings ... The phone rings. It'll be him again, I know. That annoys me. I put on a gruff voice: Payroll! Oh, I'm sorry, I've got the wrong number Yeah? Well, what's your name, buddy? Do you know *WASTED* phone calls cost money? DO YOU? I've got a good mind to subtract your wasted time, my wasted time, and the cost of this call from your wages! IN FACT I WILL! By the time I've finished with you, you'll owe US money! WHAT'S YOUR NAME - AND DON'T LIE, I'VE GOT CALLER ID!! I hear the phone drop and the sound of running feet - he's obviously going to try and get an alibi by being at the IT Director's office. I look up his username and find his department. I ring the department's executive assistant. Hello? she answers. BDBAFH here. Listen, when that guy comes running into your office in about 15 seconds, can you give him a message? I think so... she quavers... Please tell him, `HE CAN RUN, BUT HE CAN'T HIDE!' Um. OK. Like, sure... And, don't forget now, please? I wouldn't want everyone to find out about that table in your account with all of your passwords for in-house apps and credit card numbers for ecommerce sites in it... A muffled cry and I hear her scrambling at her keyboard. Don't bother. It's been backed up a zillion times; piece of cake to restore it. Just pass the message on like a love? Over the phone, I can hear the distant sound of pounding feet growing louder in the background... She sobs her assent and I hang up. And the worst thing is, I was just guessing about the table. I look for it, find it, and bring it up in TOAD; maybe I can do some shopping online tonight... The phone rings. Another user.

Re: Best Practice - Partitioned object, one partition per tablespace,
Another approach is to partition according to your load strategy, but make them reside in tablespaces according to how you want to set them to READ ONLY. For example, if you load daily, partition daily. But if you want to set the data into READ ONLY to reduce backup volumes on a quarterly basis, then put all of those daily partitions into quarterly tablespaces. So, each tablespace will have roughly 90-91 partitions for each table... - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 11:48 AM We currently are creating partitions of a given table in individual tablespaces (1 partition = one tablespace).
