Opinion on Changing Names
Hi list, Every night I update the development DB through a cron job, now I have the requirement of change or scramble the names of our customers to protect and privacy of information. I have been thinking of adding a procedure to the script that update all the names using a REPLACE clause and change some letters. Is there any way or a better one to accomplish that ? Scenario 8.1.7.4 from HP-UX (Prod) to RH AS 1.2 8.1.7.4 (lab). TIA Ramon E. Estevez [EMAIL PROTECTED] 809-535-8994 winmail.dat

Ian,
I think retention policy is new in 9i.
I purge my repository of backups that are older than 90 days (because our tape systems
rotates and reuses tapes after that time) using the change backuppiece 330783 delete;
command. I run a sql script againts the rman repository looking for pieces that
satisfy this requirement. The sql looks like this:
select 'change backuppiece bp.bp_key delete;'
from rc_backup_piece bp,rc_database db
where db.name = upper('ORACLE_SID')
and bp.db_id = db.dbid
and bp.start_time sysdate-90
/
This is in an 8i database.
Hope this is what you were looking for.

How is this set on 8.1.7 and 8.1.6 databases
RMAN CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 8 DAYS;
RMAN-00571: ===
RMAN-00569: === ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===
RMAN-00571: ===
RMAN-00558: error encountered while parsing input commands
RMAN-01005: syntax error: found identifier: expecting one of: compatible
RMAN-01008: the bad identifier was: RETENTION
RMAN-01007: at line 1 column 11 file: standard input
I looked at commands such as
crosscheck backup of database completed before 'SYSDATE-7'; delete expired backup of
database completed before 'SYSDATE-7';
But crosscheck only expires backups which are in the catalog, but not available on the
backup media.
Do I have to use the change command and designate each backup piece?

RE: How to refresh
I do that every night, but I drop the user to be refresh in the test db, is not a big DB. Ramon E. Estevez [EMAIL PROTECTED] 809-535-8994 -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2003 11:59 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi Ron, For just testdata you might take a look at http://www.databee.com/main.htm, this can help you. Dennis' method will work, but doesn't answer your question, because a production copy will overwrite all new functionality as well. However, his suggestion isn't as bad as it might seem on a first sight. How is the user/developer gonig to install all new functionality/triggers/functions etc? He might wan't to test his installation procedures as well, and otherwise you might want him to. So, wrap up all the new functionality in neat installations scripts, take a copy of the production database and start testing the installation scripts. It's the only way to be sure that what's tested in your test databaes will actually get installed in your production database. At 06:54 16-12-03 -0800, you wrote: I need to do a refresh of a test database using production data. We use import for this. In the past we have always dropped the schemas (4 or 5), recreated the schemas, and then did a full import with ignore=n. This time the user does not want to lose any of the new functions and procedures that are in test, but not in prod. Instead, they would like to just refresh the table data. Last time we tried this we had all kinds of trouble with functions, triggers, constraints, etc... and ended up doing a full import. Is there a tried and true way to just refresh the table data without losing anything else and without having all the problems with triggers and constraints?

RE: redhat/oracle
Agree with you Ramon E. Estevez [EMAIL PROTECTED] 809-535-8994 -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 10:55 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I suspect that Oracle will continue to support RH AS. That is the only version they ever supported officially. So the pay status of RH and Oracle is a moot point. However, those of us who play with it knew that with a couple of adjustments it would run on the free version. What will happen there?? I'll probably try and swing my support towards SuSE. It's a well put together distro. I've worked with 8.1 and 8.2. Both installed Oracle flawlessly without needing the RH tweaks.
