RE: A way to restore a DB
How about doing the inserts in a seperate database and synch using replication or home cooked scripts into your warehouse. -Original Message- Sent: zondag 24 november 2002 18:24 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Dear gurus! We are evaluating a strange way to recover a production DB. This is a 3.7 TB database, still growing, with LOTS of data inserted every 5 minutes (and several partitions belonging to several tables get dropped each day - we keep historical data for 90 days back), which we used to backup with RMAN to HP Omniback controlled tapes. We had a failure, and it took almost 48 hours to restore/recover the DB (in addition to backed DB files, I had to restore thousands of archived logs from tapes and apply them to the DB). We can not afford to have the DB down for 2 days. Now, we decided to give up RMAN hot backup, actually to give up backup (in it's classic meaning) at all. I'll explain why: It's very important for us to get the DB up running ASAP after a crash. We want the DB operating much more than we care about historical data that reside in our DB. Our goal is to enable the inserts (which run every 5 minutes, as I have stated) ASAP. So, we plan to do the following backup/recovery procedures: 1) We want to generate a script that will build the basics of the DB - create the DB and the instance, build tablespaces, users, grants, roles etc... 2) We want to create a daily export of small (but the most important) configuration tables, which can be imported very quickly after the crash and rebuild of DB. At this point the DB is operational. 3) We can now import the large data tables - partition by partition. And I don't care if THIS step will take 2 weeks. What do you say? Any reviews of my steps and the idea in general? And, do you have a script that can re-engineer a DB (as in my step 1)?

RE: What makes Oracle DB shutdown automatically?
The database normally doesn't shutdown automatically. If there are errors which inhibit DB operations oracle shuts down the instance and writes the error in the sidalert.log file. This file can be found at the location specified by background_dump_destination init.ora parameter. You can open the alert.log file in a text editor and scroll to see the error which resulted in the Shutdown. Then you can lookup the error in Oracle's Error Messages manual, which might give you the explanation of the error and a possible solution. If it doesn't you can search metalink/google for the error message or post it in this mailing list to get the solution.

Re: 1M STRIPE SIZE BEST?
Just depends on your settings... eg max phys io = 1m, db mult read * blk size = 1m then - 64k stripe means 16 disks in the read - 128k means 8 - 512k means 2 - 1m means 1 etc Involving lots of disks in a single read tends be good for systems will small user populations (basically you're better at a given point in time there will only be 1 or 2 concurrent queries on the system and you still want to maximise IO bandwidth). As the user population gets larger, then involving lots of disks in a single read can often lead to IO thrashing Cheers Connor --- Jared Still [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Maybe I've forgotten something fundamental about the way RAID 5 works, I dunno. But I'm having a hard time understanding how stripe size is going to determine the number of heads used in an IO. RAID 5 distributes the data across all spindles, with 1 or more of the spindles for any IO being used for the parity data. Someone care to enlighten me? Thanks, Jared On Thursday 21 November 2002 06:33, Thomas Day wrote: We had a discussion about a year ago here and if I remember correctly the best stripe size is a function of number of concurrent users. With a small number of users you want a small stripe size so that each read i/o will utilize the maximum number of heads. It will also tie up the RAID device for the duration of the read. With a large number of users you want a very large stripe size so that a minimum of heads will be used for each read and the RAID device can handle multiple requests at a time. I don't recall any specific numbers and, as you say, the technology is changing so quickly that a discussion from a year ago may not be pertinent to today's environment. Post, Ethan Ethan.Post To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] @ps.net cc: Sent by: rootSubject: 1M STRIPE SIZE BEST? 11/20/2002 05:53 PM Please respond to ORACLE-L A number of papers recommend a stripe size of 1 M (even for EMC) for volumes containing data files. I also have the following email from Eyal Aronoff of Quest dated Nov 2000. A number of the white papers are more recent. The reasons for a larger stripe size on a non-RAID 5 device are: 1) Sequential reads are faster if you can take advantege of the read ahead built into the disk caching 2) If a 64K read does not start on the first block of the stripe, two spindled are locked for the duration of the read However, lately we have been testing some EMC gear and it looks like EMC have optimized both of those for smaller strip size too. The bottom line - I no longer have an opinion one way or another. The undelying technology just changes too rapidly.

Re: instance shutdown problem ? (please help)
John,
If you ever had a running database, you did have a
controlfile. This is a new install; but are you saying that there was never a
database created, with datafiles, redo log files, etc. and you never stored
data?
If so then there is no problem. Just use Oracle
Database Configuration Manager and delete the instance that is running. And then
create a new instance with the same name. You don't have to remember or write
the controlfiel creation command.
However, if the database was created and you had
data in that, then unless the database is is archivelog mode you can't just
create a controlfile. Even if it's in archivelog mode, in order to create a
controlfile, you need to know the exact location and names of datafiles and redo
log files as well as block sizes, etc. I kind of assume that would be a little
difficult to do. But if you can do it, just get the syntax from the manual. Here
it is, just in case.
CREATE CONTROLFILE
DATABASE MYSID LOGFILE GROUP 1 ('c:\oradata\log1.log', 'd:\oradata\log1.log') SIZE 50K,
GROUP 2 ('c:\oradata\log2.log', 'd:\oradata\log2.log') SIZE 50K
NORESETLOGS
DATAFILE 'c:\oradata\system.dat' SIZE 100M
MAXLOGFILES 5
MAXLOGHISTORY 100
MAXDATAFILES 10
MAXINSTANCES 2
ARCHIVELOG
CHARACTER SET F7DEC;
Of course, this is an example. Please replace the necessary details with your environment.HTHArup Nandawww.proligence.com

thanks to all who are helping with this problem.
control file(s) are missing. since this is a new install it might have
been that the control files were never created. the oracle docs
(support) tell to use "CREATE CONTROLFILE" statement to create control
file(s). but i need to know the complete procedure. would you know the
complete statement and procedure to generate control files. do we have
to change the db/sid name ?

A few things you can do here.
(1) See if a trace file is generated around that

background_dump_dest that might provide clues. If you see a core

the core_dump_dest, it has cored dumped.
(2) Start the database from command line. >From NT

RE: Oracle is a time machine!!
Did you try it with different NLS_LANGUAGE and NLS_TERRITORY settings?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/22/02 03:49PM
Yes. This is where it gets interesting. England and the colonies didn't
adopt the Gregorian Calendar Reform until September, 1752.
October, 1582 had its normal 31 days in the British Empire and September,
1752 had its normal 30 days outside the British Empire.
So what does all this mean? Technically, Oracle's date routines are correct
in some parts of the world but not others.

RE: Problem doing RMAN backup of Clone?
Unfortunately, this problem is with the DBID, not anything in the controlfile. Oracle 9.2 comes with a utility called 'nid' in $ORACLE_HOME/bin/, which can change the DBID of a database. AFAIK, there is no other way to change the DBID, and you just have to use another catalog. I think nid may work on lower version databases, but I am not sure. Check out the docs. -- Jeremiah Wilton http://www.speakeasy.net/~jwilton On Mon, 25 Nov 2002, Koivu, Lisa wrote: I can't answer the question about rman... but if you recreate the controlfile you will have a new incarnation number of the database.

Need to customize execution plan for a cross table.
I have a cross table that connects data in two base tables. If base table 1 is the driving table, query execution time is 0.02 seconds. If base table 2 is the driving table, query execution time is 0.5 seconds. But when this query is executed 10K times, it addes 1.5 hours to the processing time. Execution plan is simple when base table 1 is the driving table. It is based on nested loop. First select data from table 1. Based on data selected from table 1, select data from cross table using nested loop. Do the same for base table 2. Cross table allows very quick data selection from base table 2. Oracle does a good job at it. When base table 2 is the driving table, execution plan changes drastically. Now it uses sort-merge and merge join cartesian. Rather than cross table used to quickly get data from the next base table, it is used last. So first select the data from base table 2. Then get all the records from base table 1 and sort - merge it with table 1. Now do nested loop join between this data and cross table data. Since either of the two base tables can be a driving table, the only way I found is that I should create two separate queries, use ordered and nested_loop hints and this should work. However, the query is a view and therefore, I need to look into other possibilities. Any ideas? I am using oracle 8i(64 bits)(81.7.4) on Solaris(2.8).

How are rollback segments assigned?
Hello Friends, Oracle Parallel Server 8.0.6.2.0 on Solaris 2.6 Nodes We were having some locking and rollback issues, and I set up some scripts to alert me in case there are more than 4 transactions in the rollback segments, and more than 1 in any of the rollback segments. Select sum(xacts) from v$rollstat --- Alert if more than 4, condition set to exclude system rollback where usn != 0 Select count(*) from v$rollstat --- Alert if more than 0, where condition to exclude system rollback where xacts =2 andusn != 0 We have 20 rollback segments, and there is very minimal DML activity on this database. I happened to see a scenario where all rollback segments had 0 transactions, except for one which had 2 in them. Under what scenario, can this happen? I thought the criteria for assigning rollback segments to transactions was 1. If object in system tablespace, use system rolback segment 2. Use the one with the least number of active transactions 3. If 2 or more rollback segments fit the second criteria, use the LRU algorithm.

LONG's

Re: Do user processes apply against shmmax limit?
... and we butt headlong into another fine myth, that is that the SGA must fit into one segment. On Sunday 24 November 2002 15:53, Richard Ji wrote: if that SGA + user processes shmmax the system will start swapping. That's not true. If your SGA is bigger than shmmax, it just means the SGA will be fit into multiple shared memory segments. Doesn't necessary mean the system will start swapping. Is the scan rate going up? Richard -Original Message- Sent: Saturday, November 23, 2002 1:49 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi everyone, I was always under the impression that the only concern with shmmax was that it be large enough for the SGA to fit into it. One of my System Administrators has just told me that the individual user processes (i.e., the PGA since we're not using multi-threaded server) get added to the SGA and if that SGA + user processes shmmax the system will start swapping. I haven't found anything to specifically address this issue on Metalink so I though I'd throw it open. We've started experiencing system slowdown and he says that increasing shmmax could resolve it. I'm skeptical (he also suggested increasing SGA to decrease swapping which I told him in no uncertain terms was nonsense). If anyone has a link to a note or white paper I'd appreciate that too. I've appended his email at the bottom. This slowdown seems to occur even when there's virtually on oracle activity so I'm suspecting some other cause. Thanks, Jay Miller nycsun1 and njsun7 has 6 GB of memory and only 2 GB of share memory.

RE: Problem doing RMAN backup of Clone?
Doug,
I have successfully tested this method for changing the the dbid {gleaned
from Ron Yount's procedure].
Changing the Dbid of copied database: Ron Yount from the Oracle-L provided
the following steps if it becomes necessary to change the Dbid of a copied
database to allow an RMAN catalog to backup both source and target database.
This should occur at the tail of the SAP Database Copy procedure. [Tested
successfully on GTS refresh 5/13/02]
Use sqlplus to connect internal (if using sqlplus comment # must be changed
to 'rem' or '--')
SQL startup nomount
SQL @c.sql /* create controlfile with set database resetlogs */
SQL select name,dbid from v$database; (There should be a new name, but same
dbid from step 3)
SQL shutdown normal
SQL startup mount
SQL exec dbms_backup_restore.zeroDbid(0);
SQL shutdown normal
Rename the control files from the new instance, so they will appear to be
missing.
SQL startup nomount
SQL @c.sql
SQL alter database open resetlogs;
SQL select name, dbid from v$database. (There should be the new name, and
new dbid)

You can change the DBID as mentioned in other messages. (see metalink doc id 174625.1) If you don't want to change the DBID, you can still backup the database using RMAN; you just can't use the same schema in the same rman catalog database as the original.

Title: Two bugs in 9202 (that bit us) FYI, Oracle 9202 ... If you are using intermedia and have cursor_sharing to anything other than EXACT, oracle will start throwing ORA-600 errors. You can set it to EXACT (the only workaround) at session level if you want, but I recommend to set it in init. This is fixed in 10i. Also we ran into a problem with ora-600 [kclchkinteg_15] (you have two global cache buffers pointing to same data block buffer but in incompatible mode) ... this is in 9202, a patch is out, we will test it today tomorrow and see how that works. Then I ask myself ... isn't it fun to be on the cutting edge of the release? Raj __ Rajendra Jamadagni MIS, ESPN Inc.

RE: A way to restore a DB
From the rest of you message, I would say there is something wrong with the hardware setup of your database. If the setup is such that you can lose an entire database of nearly 4 TB, then your backup/restore speed is the LEAST of your problems. You disk striping and mirroring should prevent the lose of the database in the vent of a disk failure; I would even consider mirroring across more than one storage array so that you can survive the loss of an entire storage array. If finances don't permit complete redundancy, the setup should be such that you never lose more than fraction of the database (i.e. a datafile or two ... or three). Then you only restore and recover the datafile(s) rather than the entire database. I can't imagine a setup where the loss of a disk, or even a controller, would cause the COMPLETE loss of a 4TB database. This whole thing looks very much like somebody screwed up and delete files. I suspect that a trip to Hell would reveal the rm -rf * command sitting at Satan's right hand. -Original Message- We are evaluating a strange way to recover a production DB.

The mailing list address you sent your message to was: Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Description: Oracle RDBMS Community Forum Subject: Ignore Previous NOte Your posting has been rejected and returned to you because it appeared to be a vacation auto-reply message. If you have received only one of these notices, then please consider this a courtesy notice. If you received more than one of these (perhaps many of these) notices, then your auto-reply program is not cognizent of proper mail ettiquette and you must heed these instructions in future situations like this. While you have an auto-reply responder turned on, all messages which are auto-replied to the mailing list are sent to your mailbox AGAIN, resulting in a quickly increasing endless-loop condition. This not only causes YOUR mailbox to fill up, but it fills the mailboxes of every person who is a subscriber to the list. This filter was put into place to avoid these types of endless-loop situations, and stop them before they get started. A more effective way of dealing with being on vacation is to TEMPORARILY turn off messages from the mailing list. This doesn't require you to unsubscribe -- it merely temporarily stops the flow of messages to your mailbox while you are gone. In order to stop mailing list messages temporarily, send an E-mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] And in the message BODY, include the following command: SET mailing list name NOMAIL Where mailing list name is the name of the mailing list for which you are a subscriber. Note that you can use this at ANY time, and for any reason, not just for vacations. Once you have returned from vacation, issue the following command to resume mail service again: SET mailing list name MAIL If you use the two commands above, once before you leave, and then again after you return, everyone will appreciate your consideration and respect for the list. If you need to know which lists you are subscribed to, use the following command: WHICH And finally, any time you need assistance with ListGuru, send the HELP command in the message body for detailed help on using ListGuru.

Thanks, Guys) I was also notified that effective immediately Veritas BackupExec is the software we are using. Any gotchas/experiences/comments from people who have used Backup Exec and the associated Oracle utility? Do you trust BackupExec to fire your rman backups, complete correct rman restores, etc.? I have shied away from writing directly to tape in the past but don't have the luxury of disk for rman backups anymore. I'm on Windows 2000 sp2, Oracle version 8.1.7.2 Any comments are appreciated.

Rich Rich Jesse System/Database Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quad/Tech International, Sussex, WI USA -Original Message- Sent: Monday, November 25, 2002 11:29 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L FYI, Oracle 9202 ... If you are using intermedia and have cursor_sharing to anything other than EXACT, oracle will start throwing ORA-600 errors. You can set it to EXACT (the only workaround) at session level if you want, but I recommend to set it in init. This is fixed in 10i. Also we ran into a problem with ora-600 [kclchkinteg_15] (you have two global cache buffers pointing to same data block buffer but in incompatible mode) ... this is in 9202, a patch is out, we will test it today tomorrow and see how that works.

Re: Oracle you have just received a card from .
If the below link is what I think it is, its a sleasy form of spam (as if there is nice form of spam). I received something similar from a friend a few weeks ago. The web site wants you to download some software so that you can read a greeting card from your friend. If you read the End User Agreement, it says that they have the right to send an email greeting to everyone in your Outlook Address Book if you use their software.

RE: Problem doing RMAN backup of Clone?

Title: BackupExec & Oracle Lisa, One of our database servers is identical to your setup - Win2K/8.1.7.2/Veritas BackupExec.

Only gotcha is the fact that this new user will need to have some low level privs in order to be effective. You would then setup Veritas Oracle Agent to backup your databases, one by one.

It's not from Stephane's computer (even if he were using a Windows machine). From Symantec's website: The subject line, message bodies, and attachment file names are random. The From address is randomly-chosen from email addresses that the worm finds on the infected computer. I've never gotten an e-mail with the Klez virus from the person who was listed in the From address. Very likely it's from someone else on the list who is infected.

RE: BackupExec Oracle
If you're using BackupExec to backup the server's filesystems as well as the Oracle DB, make sure it does NOT hit your database files directly. Some Winders admins don't understand that it'll lock the datafiles, redos, controlfiles, etc from the instance, causing all sorts of icky recovery scenarios. At least a few years ago, it locked them under NT 4.0. I don't know if this behavior has changed (or is possible to change under NuTFutS) in newer versions.

RE: Klez Worm Info
The Klez worm fakes its from address. Try checking the offending message's header to see whom it is actually from. Things are not always simple. A short time ago, I was asked if I had a virus as someone was receiving multiple copies of mail I sent to either this list or lazydba. I made the usual protestations of living a good life and having protected mail. The person replied they received six copies of my denial. That same day maintenance was being done and our mail gateway was temporarily closed. I received a message saying an outgoing mail message was blocked by this closure; the one saying, No way is it I. Before I apologized, many times over :), I queried our postmaster about the problem. She explained that the site which was receiving multiple copies was running a mail program with a bug. The bug kept the system from sending an acknowledgement of receipt to our system. Having received no receipt, our system was resending the message over and over again. She contacted their postmaster and I trust all is well.

Re: Anyone else had a Virus alert for Stephane Faroult's email ?
It probably is not coming from where it appears. We have an alias for a group of us that field questions on a particular application. Every once in awhile we get a message that this virus has been found in a message that we have sent (supposedly from this alias). Since we are not sending under that alias we know that it is coming from somewhere else. Apparently when a machine is infected it sends out messages randomly using addresses from the addressbook for the to, from, and reply to. I'm guessing that if it is using an actual message for the basis of this it could also be using the from as well as the subject of that message.

Mass updates to production tables (NULL to non-NULL)
I've got a real hot project (8.1.7.2 on HP/UX 11.0) that needs to have NULLs converted to spaces on three different columns. Each is a CHAR, so I shouldn't need to worry about chaining, since that column's full size has already been allocated in the block, right? But the first column has 1.2M NULLs out of 1.45M rows. My first test was to just UPDATE mytable SET mycol = ' ' WHERE mycol IS NULL, after removing the index on that column. Seeing as there were many more rows updated than I had anticipated, I was going to test the UPDATE using a cursor, and committing at every 10K rows (~120 total commits) to reduce rollback and locking issues. Thoughts? Since this table is used for time-and-attendance and directly affects payroll, downtime isn't possible. TIA!

Re: LONG's
Mike, You could look at the COPY command - provided you don't mind the table name changing or living in a different schema. I guess you could do a copy and then an alter table ... rename command. The syntax for the copy command is along the lines of: copy from user/pass@sid to user/pass@sid create tablename as sql - ie: select * from blah. I believe create can also be changed to insert, append, etc. You might also want to check the LONG buffer size. Unfortunately I'm working off my memory though, so you might have to refer to the manual. I think it's under SQL*Plus - I have a feeling the command only works within SQL*Plus. Regards, Mark.

important question about SID environment variable (NT)
for NT4.0 ver 8i does a typical oracle install create the environement variable SID ? i just checked, via set command on windows NT. the env variable for SID is not set. though there are other oracle related env variables like path, classpath that point to various files of oracle install etc so should i manually set the SID environment variable ?? if so how ? if set it manually then it is good for that shell only. what about programs like Database config assistant that are lauched via the StartProgramsOraHome. how would they read this or such an enviroment variable that is set via the command prompt. (env variable set via the command prompt with command like set variable1 = c:\ora\bin\. etc etc will only be vaild in that shell which created it. how to make it across the whole OS ? i am asking this because the Oracle DB Config Assistant requires the SID environment variable to be set. from where should i launch the GUI for oracle config assistant. if to be launched from shell ie command prompt, then what is the name of the executable for this GUI ? __ Do you Yahoo!?

basic question about db_name and sid
the SID is a string that identifies where to find the database. It is not necessarily the same as the database name. (here is the url from where i read this http://datavision.sourceforge.net/DataVision/create.html) first, is it true that sid need not be the same as the db name ? because in a typical oracle install you are asked to write sid and it actually becomes the db_name as well. right ? secondly what does this mean sid is a string that identifies where to find the database ? __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: how do I calculate the Oracle's usage
Even though the name of the statistic is CPU used by this session,
the v$sysstat view contains aggregated data of the statistics of all
sessions that have ever logged into your instance since it started.
For consistency, they use the same statistic names as are used by the
session-level statistics from v$sesstat, which is being aggregated in
v$sysstat. The full list of statistics is in v$statname. So if you
wanted your own statistics, you would have a query like this:
select value from v$session s, v$sesstat ss, v$statname sn where
s.audsid = userenv('sessionid') and s.sid = ss.sid and ss.statistic# =
sn.statistic# and sn.name = 'CPU used by this session';
To get the total for everyone ever logged in up to now, just query
v$sysstat.

Re: Slightly OT - Who would you take with you...
Robert, I think your own emails would have to count as one of the Top 10 people... Don't delete your sent folder! I've only been on this list for a short period of time (although I wish I had found it earlier) and I've noticed that there are several consistent posters of answers. I don't think it's fair to name ten people - different people have different niche's. If I wrote something about tuning it might be valid, if I wrote something about backup/recovery then you might as well trash it. Having said that I tend to listen to Cary, Rachel, Tim, Kirti, Jared and yourself especially closely. But there are many others who frequently have good input - that is what makes the list so powerful, you get the best bits of everyone. Regards, Mark.

You may have to worry about chaining. NULL columns use no space, even when they are CHAR() types. If you are planning a counted cursor loop, don't.
