Dropping schema in production...

Hi
We are implementing a block point in our production database.Can I drop and recreate the schema (owner) instead of dropping the schema objects incase there is a backout and the database/schema has to be restored. I will be taking a full DB export before the activity starts.I want to be 100% sure since this is production...Thanks!

Hi
Again , i will remind you don't depends on Oracle exp/imp or datapump because this is not the physical backup . I suggest you to take backup using Rman full backup . Since you are performing it on production and in case something wrong happen then you can recover to your previous state .
Once you have rman backup then extract the ddl (say roles,privileges, user ) ,and then you can drop the schemas and re-create it after running the ddl's . Check the link to extract the DDL's

Hope this may help you
Good Luck

Invalid database schema for product hyperion reporting and analysis

I tried to re-configure the BI core service to a new database
But I get the message "invalid database schema for product hyperion reporting and analysis"
The database is a restore of a production backup on a different MSSQL2005 server.
I can not believe its really a sql schema matter.
Does anyone know whats wrong?

You cannot restore a BI+ database from backup...It is somewehere in the doc. There a re lots of references to the old server and config in the BI+ tables and you d need to edit/remove some files on the file server too. There is a doc available to do that but its far from simple.
Best way is to export the content of your repository, configure a new DB and then reimport the content.
If you re really stuck, drop me an email and ill send you that doc. I think ive still got it.

How to handle refreshing TEST schema with PRODUCTION schema ?

- we have database 10g ( standard edition), database name : ABC
- Schema name: ABC.PRODUCTION (which is our production schema)
- Schema name: ABC.TEST (which is our testing schema, where developers work)
Both the production & Test schemas exist in the same database.
Now once a week I wanted to refresh TEST schema with PRODUCTION data
Here is what I have been doing all these years:
=> Take a logical backup (EXPDP) of PRODUCTION schema (prod.dmp)
=> Drop user TEST cascade ( i don't need a backup of this TEST schema)
=> Create user TEST
=> Import PROD.DMP data into TEST schema
All the above 4 steps are being done manually.
Questions:
======
1. Is there any easier way of doing the above steps using some tool ?
2. Does Oracle enterprise manager which comes free with database installation (http://localhost:118/em)
has any utility or tool to do this job ?
3. I want everything to be refreshed (all database objects including data) ?
Thanks

This is crazy. One inadvertent typo and you'll overwrite your Production schema. Plus, what happens if a developer 'tests' against the test schema and slows the Production database to a crawl.
I presume you know all about this, though and can't make the case to management. I hope it's not a business-critical Production database!
Anyway, your method is decent. I would advise against doing it automatically, to be honest, especially when your system is so precariously set up. But if you exist, you could use encapsulate all the steps into a script and use crontab to automate the process. I, personally, wouldn't use DBMS_SCHEDULER as you have to be careful with priorities and workload sometimes (at least in my experience) and you might end up having your export/import clash with other jobs in the system if you don't pay attention.
Here are the steps I would use:
Create a 'create user' script for the test schema based on dynamic SQL. That way you can be sure you have all the grants necessary for the user, in case things change.
Drop the test user (use EXTRA caution and be defensive when coding this part!)
Export the schema using FLASHBACK_SCN to ensure you have a consistent export
Run your 'create user' script to create the test user
Import the schema with a REMAP_SCHEMA option (use EXTREME caution with this!!!!)
Compile invalid objects
Compare objects and exclude any recycle_bin objects. Send an email alert if the object counts are different.
Compare invalid objects. Any objects which aren't invalid in Production should be flagged up if they're invalid in test.
Again, it's absolute insanity to have a test schema in a Production database. You absolutely must insist on addressing that with management.

Numbering schema in Product Hierarchy reg

Hello Experts,
We are implementing CRM 7.0, as part of the initial load we had downloaded DNL_CUST_PROD1 from ECC. But after replication we came to know that the numbering schema for Product Hierarchy is not 5,5,8 but changed to something else. When I tried doing the changes to numbering scheme, it is giving some error.
We havenu2019t created any Products or any master or transactional data.
Can you please help me in understanding how to change the numbering scheme and re-do the intial load.
Thank you.

you missed to save it .
Dont maintain node 1 , 2 and 3 in one go.
Maintain your 1s then save, maintain your 2s then save, then maintain your 3rd level.

If I drop schemas will stats still be availible in the database

Hi,
I'm creating a duplicate of a database and was thinking of doing the following:
1. exp data to file and move it over the network (there is a lot of long data in different schemas)
2. imp data new dublicated database
3. gather stats
4. drop schemas
5. recreate schemas
6. load fresh data from a new export
My question:
Do we need to gather statistics again or will statistics stay in the dictionary allthough I drop the schemas?
Regards

If you use impdp network_link=
you can import in the target database directly instead of this cumbersome procedure.
And, of course the statistics are gone when you drop a schema.

Senior Oracle DBAHi,
We use networklink as much as possible but it dosn't support long data.
So this time we export to files and move it.
Thanks for your reply

Should i drop schema or truncate tables before importing?

I have exported a dump of the whole schema form oracle database. I need to import this to another database with a different schema name but same tables. The only thing i am doing is this to bring data consistent with the other database.
Now Do i need to drop schema or do anything like that to avoid and redundancy or i can just go ahead and do the import? Please let me know how to do it. I would prefer not deleted any tables but truncate all the data if needed from about all 200 tables.
Thanks

For the places in your application where a Sequence is used to insert or set values in some tables, note that the sequence's current value may have been incremented if it has been used since the last import. If your truncate and re-import the tables, the tables may have the older (lower) values but the current sequence may be higher.
You would then have to "reset" the sequence best by dropping and recreating it.

Error: Cannot drop schema because it is being referenced by object

My database has a schema with the same name as a user (let's call it 'username'). This schema was not explicitly created. I want to drop the User 'username' but I have to drop the schema 'username' first; However, when I tried to do that I got the message...
"Cannot drop schema 'username' because it is being referenced by object 'vw_Inventory'
There is a view named 'vw_Inventory' but I don't see where it's referencing this schema, or any schema for that matter. Why would I get this error and how do I resolve it so I can drop the Schema and User?
Darrell H Burns

If a Schema has some objects in it, then you cannot drop that Schema until you remove all the objects out of it. You can change the schema owner
to another database principal and drop the user like,
Alter Authorization ON Schema::username TO DBO; Drop User username;
other option would be
Transfer the username schema objects to a different schema and drop username schema and user like.
Alter Schema DBO Transfer Username.[OBEJECTNAME] ;
--need to repeat this until you transfer all objects under this schema
Drop Schema username;
Drop User username;

Any DBA views storing history of Dropped schemas?

DB Version: 10gR2 and higher
username, created columns in DBA_USERS view display info about the schemaS which currently exist in the DB.
Is there a Dictionary view which stores the history of Dropped schemas?

I want to DROP a schema, but it gives the following error while trying to drop it:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1

How to protect Developer know Password of Schema in Production system?

Hi, I'm newbies about Database Securities.
My new job have environment about Client/Server by Oracle10gR2 working with Delphi Application.
I found developer fixed schmea user/password on program code for connect to DB.
So, Now password of Production Schema is same with Development Schema
and Developer can access to Production environment.
How to solve this situaltion?, I think maybe ever have best pratice for this.
I think about keep password on other location and Application get to use for connect DB.
Howerver, This way developer can coding for print out password to see it.
Or maybe DBA must change fix password in Programmer coding before migrate to production (It's no good). To do that, DBA can change password of Production and Developerment to differrence.
Now we protect this by trigger to fix about protect Developer connect DB by Tools (by osuser, machine and program filed in v$session). I know this can leak by change osuser, change exec name of Tools.
Previouse job use Oracle DB with E-Business suite. It's no this problem cause of It's have interface to manage connection between App & DB.
Thank you for every advice.

ERRORS IN PORTAL WHEN DROPPING SCHEMA OWNER

I ran a PDK demo script and added 2 db packages to a schema in the portal repository. After running theses porlets, I decided to attempt to create my own. Prior to adding to the schema I wanted to clean out the old db packages. I thought the easy way would be to drop the user schema and recreate it clean. I attempted to drop the user schema by entering portal as orcladmin, clicking on navigator, then db objects, selected the schema I wanted to drop and it sat there for a few minutes and returned errors. I then opened SQLplus and dropped the user cascade. I noticed that the provider is still in the providers tab list, but can't delete it. I then attempted to re-create the schema using same name and I get additional errors in portal (see upload file: createrror2.jpg. I need to 1) drop the old provider and 2) recreate a new schema and provider that I will use for my portal/portlets.
Any suggestions.

Problem after uploading user defined characterstic schema in product catalo

Hi friends,
We were using SRM 5.0 and CCM 2.0, we were uploaded Master catalog through .CSV file, Product catalog schema through .XML and user defined characteristic schema through .XML file separately. System given message catalog updated successfully. But when I observed in product catalog user defined characteristics are removed from the product catalog the content of these fields is also wiped out from the items. Once the catalog was in this state, I mapped it to the Master Catalog and all the user defined characteristics show up in error. What could be the cause?? can any body Help (Urgent)
Thanks in advance
