Greg: If the error is coming from DBMS_OUTPUT, then it is probably PL/SQL related. Try increasing the LARGE_POOL_SIZE parameter in the init.ora file. I would suggest setting it to at least 2MB. By the way, what are the shared_pool_size and large_pool_size parameters set to now? RWB Greg

Re: OEM - Change Management Pack - opinions, please

I have used Change Management Pack. It helps manage changes when you need to capture them , especially when moving from Development, to Certification/UAT and Production. It can reverse engineer existing databases and schemas, but it does not put the files in a usable format. The files are in a

Try this: select table_name, num_rows from dba_tables where table_name = [table_name]; [table_name] = the name of the table or a variable. This works if you are updating your statistics and you may also want monitoring turned on for the table. It is easier to get the information from the data

RE: count(*)

Paula et al: It could work if the analyze is done after the load using DBMS_STATS. Then the num_rows would be accurate. With the monitoring turned on , analyzing would be done on the table if more than a certain percentage had changed. It is not an elegant solution. A more pratical one , if

Re: Question about database and service name

Mr. Estevez: The service names are defined in the init.ora using the service_names parameter. You can have several names separated by commas and white space to represent service names. The Listener can listen for a specific service name if you list it in the listener.ora file. Oracle8, 8i

It's called SQL Plus. Set the heading off, pagesize = 0, linesize = 200, set record delimiter = ',' or '|' and set feedback off; and termout on. This should produce an ASCII file once you supply your own query. RWB ltiu [EMAIL PROTECTED]@fatcity.com on 09/05/2002 01:05:07 PM Please

When configuring two versions of ORacle on a single machine , whether it is NT or UNIX, always use the Listener of the most recent version. It is backwards compatible. RWB Denham Eva [EMAIL PROTECTED]@fatcity.com on 08/30/2002 03:28:19 AM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by:

Start the Installer and check on previously installed Oracle products. If the Oracle Inventory file is bad or does not show any installed 8.1.7 product, then you will have to re-install the 8.1.7 version over the existing one, then you can install the patches (8.1.7.4 is the latest). Start the

Re: Is there a way to determine which record was entered in last

Does the row have a column with a DATE or timestamp datatype? If so, is there a trigger or DEFAULT value associated with the insert action? Was Audit turned on? If auditing was on for the table and for inserts or updates, then you should be able to determine which record was entered last. RWB
