I've been an Oracle DBA for almost twenty years. In that time I have worked in various organisations - sometimes as a "permanent" employee (although nothing is permanent these days ) and other times as a contractor. I have been in my current role for the last six months since being made redundant from my last position.
In this organisation we support a lot of Oracle databases on many different servers spanning various networks. There are two DBAs who have been here for several years
However, they are both in the habit of logging in as SYSDBA for everything. They find it amusing that I refuse to do so for daily administration as I know that this is bad practice. Import and exports are even taken as SYS. Whenever I mention that it's bad practice they shrug it off saying that they've been doing it for years with no problems.
So I have been scouring Tahiti and Metalink looking for a definitive document from Oracle that states just why this is such bad practice. I would imagine that an import as SYS could have catastrophic consequences for the data dictionary if you're not careful, but I can't think of much else.
We've all seen Michel's default "just don't do it" message whenever a poster mentions that they have done something as SYS.
When I try to log into my db with a specific user I get this message. Below is from the alert log. I can login as system just fine.
----- Error Stack Dump ----- ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 ORA-01438: value larger than specified precision allowed for this column ORA-06512: at line 2 Oracle 10g OEL 5.5
A single master schema where many developers are accessing. all share same password.
now i would like to trace all the changes made by each users. so i create a individual users for all and grant permission to access that schema.do i have a possibility of auditing the changes did by each user for that particular schema
I have a live OLTP system where i have delived a solution for performance tunning , as a part of performance tunning i have created a MV which as below. I have created MV with no logging option as this will be refreshed at 3 min interval. i have compared the AWR report prior to deploy MV and after deployment. After deployment it have increased the redo by 4 times. Is there any way i can reduce the redo and what is wrong with mv with nologging.

Quote: Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2) New Features in Oracle XML DB
The following Oracle XML DB features are new in Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2).
Default Storage Model for XMLType
The default XMLType storage model is used if you do not specify a storage model when you create an XMLType table or column. Prior to Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2), unstructured (CLOB) storage was used by default. The default storage model is now binary XML storage.
We have a application which works fine on r1 but not on r2 due to this change, we are going to investigate resolving the issue on the application in the future, in the mean time we need to be able to use the CLOB storage.
Does any one know where we can change this functionality back to the pre 11gR2 change?
Currently my oracle database character set is we8mswin1252 and it is only containing English data as well as spatial data (which is in English of course). I would like to change the Database character set so it could accept Arabic characters.
I have checked the below command on a test DB and it worked fine, but I want to know if it's recommended as a best practice when changing the character set to accept arabic and this won't corrupt my old entered Data ?
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE STARTUP RESTRICT ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET INTERNAL_USE AR8MSWIN1256 SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE STARTUP
I can not change the parameters RESOURCE_MANAGER_PLAN, at first, I set the parameters to DAYTIME,but when I restart my db,the parameters hold old values named MAXCAP_PLAN. Why?

What is best practice to change small disk D:? I am beginner with Oracle. 10g on W2008. 5 datafiles (all indexes,second data file, 2 undotabs)*.dbf (34;30;1;34;12 GB) is on D:. Part of tablespaces (1 data, 1 undo)has files on c:.
I. 1.Shutdown 2008 server. 2.Copy D: image with GHOST to USB, network. 3.Connect new D, create RAID. 4.Restore image to D. 5.Start 2008 server.
II. 1.Stop application. 2.CONNECT AS SYSDBA 3.SHUTDOWN NORMAL or (IMMEDIATE)? 4.Copy files *.dbf at OS level from d: to ... USB disk, network. 5.Shutdown 2008 server. 6.Change disks, create RAID in BIOS. 7.Start W2008. Is Oracle at this moment in SHUTDOWN mode? 8.Copy back *.dbf to new D: (with directory structure). 9.STARTUP Oracle.
I searched and found that it has something to do with the SGA parameters. I saw that the shared_pool_size and the sga_target paramters are set to 0...Also there are certain SQLs hanging at some point. I thought I should change the above mentioned parameters.
My question now is, can I use the Alter System statements from the SQL Plus to change these parameters, and do they change immediately or do I need to reboot the Oracle instance for those changes to take effect? I would like to do:
alter system set sga_target=400m; alter system set shared_pool_size=200m;
This facility has one last 10g database and a very problematic tablespace and last datafile associated with it. The tablespace was set up with INITIAL_ EXTENT of 131,072 (128K) instead of the more 'normal' 4,194,304 (4M) and NEXT_EXTENT of 262,144 (256K) instead of 4,194,304 (4M).
More worryingly, the datafile has INCREMENT_BY set to 1 (8K) instead of 1,280 (10M) or 2,048 (16M).Has anyone ever updated sys.ts$.dflinit and sys.ts$. dflincr to modify the INITIAL_EXTENT and NEXT_EXTENT, and sys.file$.inc to modify the INCREMENT_BY?
SQL> update t set a = 1 where b = 2; -- must have redo record 2 rows updated. SQL> rollback;
the above redo record that uncommit changed must be written from redo buffer to the online redo logfile. why Oracle write the redo record that uncommit changed to the online redo logfile ? when it will be used?
I am currently in the process of migrating our database from US7ASCII to AL32UTF8 using DMU.
I am stuck at a point where I have encrypted data that, when the conversion happens, will be destroyed. Oracle suggests to move the data which is currently stored in VARCHAR2 datatype, to a "character set safe way" like hex notation or base64 before converting.
I want to change space allocation for character columns in my database, So it will store them as 'CHAR' and not 'BYTE'.my character set is
SQL> SELECT VALUE FROM V$NLS_PARAMETERS WHERE PARAMETER='NLS_CHARACTERSET'; VALUE ---------------------------------------------------------------- AL32UTF8 SQL> alter system set NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS='CHAR' scope=both;
System altered.I bounced the instance just to make sure
And then I want to see that when I create a table with some varchar2 column,The space for it will be allocated by chars, and not by bytes! However, when I run a check of create table, this is what I get:
We have one primary oracle database 10.2 and standby by database with no data guard. Initially we have 2 redo log group in primary and standby database.
We have recently add 2 more redo log and increase the size of log member from 50m to 200m in primary database. We don't have any problem in primary database.but in standby database we face a problem because we cannot open it. It always in mount stage in which . How we change the size of current redo log because we can't run. Alter system switch logfile command in mount stage.

I have created two types and a list of the first type:
create type type1; / create type type1_list as table of ref type1; / create type type2; /
I have now just created the two types as follows:
create type type1 as object( id# number ); / create type type2 as object( attribute1 type1_list, MEMBER FUNCTION function1 RETURN NUMBER ); /
Ok, I've created the tables (I don't know if it's necessary to point out my problem)
CREATE TABLE type1_table OF type1; / CREATE TABLE type2_table OF type2 NESTED TABLE attribute1 STORE AS nested_type1_list_table; /
And what I wanted to do now is to implement the member function1 and check something of the attributes of type1 in the list of attribute1... And that's where my question occurs, how does it work, I can't figure it out. I tried something like this:
Quote: create or replace TYPE BODY type2 AS MEMBER FUNCTION function1 RETURN NUMBER AS
I wanted to export a table "emp_production" from Production database then import it as "emp_datawarehouse" in Data warehouse database.Both tables has same structure. I have granted IMPORT FULL DATABASE & EXPORT FULL DATABASE privileges to both schema
