Server Administration :: Contents Of Redo Log Files
Feb 1, 2011I have some doubts about redo log files,
1) Can we fetch 'select statements' from redo log files through the use of log miner utility or any other?
(I think redo log file contains only insert,update,delete and DDL/DCL commands only)
2) If "No" to the above answer then how can i fetch all select statements fired on the system for a day or particular time.
(setting of sql_trace may be the one of them, but can it be possible for system level)
Server Administration :: Copy Many Files From ASM To FileSystem
May 1, 2013I have got backup pieces in ASM, I guess about more than 100 files. Now, I need to copy all of them from ASM to FileSystem, there are 2 methods still now:
1- Copy from ASM to FileSystem using cp command.
2- Copy from ASM to FileSystem using DBMS_FILE_TRANSFER.
But:
In the first method, when I copy one file, I took more than 1 minute, so the following script would take me more than 1 days (I guess so).
#!/bin/ksh
#
# This script copies files from FRA on ASM to local disk
#
ORACLE_SID=+ASM2
ASMLS=/vasgatedb/app/vsgbkp/asm_ls.txt ##{ASM files list}
[Code]...
The second method, DBMS_FILE_TRANSFER took me less than 1 second to copy one file completely.
sys@VSGDB> set timing on
sys@VSGDB> exec dbms_file_transfer.COPY_FILE('asm_dir','level_0_vsgdb_9998_813844797.bkp','fs_dir','level_0_vsgdb_9998_813844797.bkp');
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.38
Of course, I wish I used the second method as soon as possible, however, said I below, I've got about ~200 files, and I could not copy one by one file.

Server Utilities :: SQL Loader - Excel File Different Column Order Format?
May 8, 2011I have an Excel spreadsheet that just had a format change. The fourth column is new. Order of columns in Excel is:

Sqlldr script is in order of the .csv file just listed. Oracle table is in order
oldcol1

Server Administration :: Writing Control File
Nov 25, 2011I was doing some R&D on my test machine trying to understand how controlfile works. I started up my db and then deleted (renamed)the controlfiles at OS level. I was expecting the db to shutdown. But it dint. Moreover when i queried select name from v$controlfile; it was still reflecting the old controlfile names. To check if it was still functioning, i created a new tablespace with one file and it also got created without any error.
What i dint understand is how could the db still be running when the control file was'nt there and new tablespace and datafile get created? As i understand, whenever a new file is created, an entry is made in the control file. But when control file dint exist where was the data about new tablespace and datafile written?
Server Administration :: Move File System Datafile To ASM
Oct 23, 2012I mistakenly added a datafile to a tablespace which is asm, however the datafile was created in a default location and not the asm location:
alter tablespace pdaiidata1 add datafile '<filename>' size 2048M;
What I should have done:
alter tablepsace <tablespace_name> add datafile '+DATA1' size 2048M;
Is there any way to move this filesystem datafile into the asm tablespace? In previous Oracle versions, I've taken a tablespace offline, moved a datafile, renamed it, then brought the tablespace back online. Can I do something similar here in this situation?
