View 8 RepliesIf you mark a column unused, is there any way to project it? I know the docs say you can't, but as the data is still there I would have thought it should be possible. I can see the column in dba_tab_cols, but the obvious ways of making it usable don't work:
orcl> select column_name,hidden_column from user_tab_cols where table_name='DEPT';
COLUMN_NAME HID
------------------------------ ---
LOC NO
DNAME NO
DEPTNO NO
orcl> alter table dept set unused column loc;
Table altered.
orcl> select column_name,hidden_column from user_tab_cols where table_name='DEPT';
COLUMN_NAME HID
------------------------------ ---
SYS_C00003_13071316:19:02$ YES
DNAME NO
DEPTNO NO
orcl> select "SYS_C00003_13071316:19:02$" from dept;
select "SYS_C00003_13071316:19:02$" from dept

How to find non-indexed queries and columns that require indexes?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to drop an unused column in a partitioned table, and the number of records stored in this unused column was very high. I kept on running into errors as follows:
ORA-01562: failed to extend rollback segment number 10
ORA-01650: unable to extend rollback segment R09 by 256 in tablespace RBS
I tried to "SET TRANSACTION USE ROLLBACK SEGMENT <name>" with a larger rollback segment, but it still did not work. Can I drop the "unused column" from each partition instead?
How to apply that? Or, what are my options besides increasing the size of the rollback segment?
I am trying to find the unix process for one of my application in the database but I am unable to view the same. To simulate, I did the following.
1. My database runs on different server.
2. I invoked "sqlplus" from another unix box to login to the database.
3. I found that the process id (ps -ef |grep sqlplus).
4. When I execute the below mentioned query it does not display the process id that I am looking for. But the osuser, username, program and machine details are correct. How can I know the process details from the database?
SELECT SYS.GV_$SESSION.OSUSER, SYS.GV_$SESSION.USERNAME, SYS.GV_$PROCESS.SPID,
SYS.GV_$SESSION.MACHINE, SYS.GV_$SESSION.PROGRAM,
SYS.GV_$PROCESS.PROGRAM ,SYS.GV_$SESSION.SQL_ID
FROM
SYS.GV_$PROCESS, SYS.GV_$SESSION
WHERE
SYS.GV_$PROCESS.ADDR=SYS.GV_$SESSION.PADDR and SYS.GV_$SESSION.USERNAME='TEST'
and SYS.GV_$SESSION.MACHINE like '%hostname%'
We performed image copy of production Oracle server (OS and instances) to a backup server. After a few weeks, we try to restore a latest Oracle database backup from production server to backup server. As we know, Oracle instance must be unique on the network.
Even we log on to backup server and bring up the instance, I think that still point to production instance since all init file, TNSNAMES.ora and listener file are still same. If we restore the database, we will end up bring down the production instance and restore on top of productions. How to change instance name on backup server including TNSNAMES, sqlnet, listener files in order for us to restore Oracle database from production to backup server?

How to find the sid from v$session of my current session.
I want to ask:
Let say I have open 10 TOAD session and only in one toad session i have fired a sql query ( the rest 9 session are just blank), then the rest 9 status are in active status. Now, how i can figure out which sid ( from v$session ) belongs to which session as all the 9 session having nothing to run.
Quote: My main intention is to find out the current session sid as soon as it make connection with DB.
findout and to fill up the excel which lists down the Database schemas and states whether they have in active / or not.
Active state may be determined whether it has been used for the last 3 months or so. The last updated time may be a good indicator of the same.
