Yes.
I would be upfront and state you don't know what the data means, and ask the organization where the dump came from.
My guess is that it's some kind of low-level communication protocol.
It doesn't look like it comes from Business Objects, and so not appropriate for this forum.

How to calculate storage space for archive log files and database backups?

Hi all,
I have a 1.8 terabyte Oracle 9i database and need to plan for how much additional disk space I will need to perform nightly backups and for archivelog files. Is there a script or formula available that can help me estimate how much required disk space I will need to hold a days worth of archived logs as well as a nightly export dump file and a full hot RMAN backup on disk?
Thanks!

I'm not sure how to estimate the size of your backups, especially if you use incrementals. However, the space required for archive logs will be equal to the amount of REDO your DB generates. I would count the number of log switches per day with a query like the following:
select trunc(first_time), count(*)
from v$log_history
group by trunc(first_time)
I would then take the average and multiply this count by the size of your redo log files (assuming they are all the same size).

Is the only way to import large amount of data and database objects into a primary database is to shutdown the standby, turn off archive log mode, do the import, then rebuild the standby?

I have a primary database that need to import large amount of data and database objects. 1.) Do I shutdown the standby? 2.) Turn off archive log mode? 3.) Perform the import? 4.) Rebuild the standby? or is there a better way or best practice?

Instead of rebuilding the (whole) standby, you take an incremental (from SCN) backup from the Primary and restore it on the Standby. That way, if, for example
a. Only two out of 12 tablespaces are affected by the import, the incremental backup would effectively be only the blocks changed in those two tablespaces (and some other changes in system and undo) {provided that there are no other changes in the other ten tablespaces}
b. if the size of the import is only 15% of the database, the incremental backup to restore to the standby is small

How to restore a mysql dump file to database using java

hai friends,
i'm developing an application. in that i need to back up and restore the database. i'm using mysql.
in that i used a code to back up the db.. its working perfectly and the dump file is created perfectly..
but while trying to restore the dump file nothing is happening...
can anyone provide me a sample code to restore the dump to database using java code...
thanks in advance...

The first, biggest mistake you made in the code is that you didn't read standard output and error from the process, and/or you're ignoring exceptions. Because if you did, you would have read error messages that would have given you a clue what's wrong. (either that, or you ignored the clues, or didn't understand them and failed to tell us what the error messages are)
The second mistake is that you invoked exec with the call that takes a single string, when that string includes whitespace not used as delimiters.
The third mistake was that you used a terrible subject line for your post. Your problem is that you're having trouble with Runtime.exec. The fact that it's about mysql isn't relevent.
The fourth mistake is that you didn't mention Runtime.exec at all until pushed. You should provide these details. When you try to self-diagnose something that you don't understand, and then hide information, you're just wasting everybody's time, including your won.
The fifth mistake is that you're using poor spelling.
The sixth mistake is that you still haven't said why you're doing this in Java.

Export dump file and log file name as sysdate in script

Hi to All,
Can anybody help me to give logical backup export dump file namd log file name is as contain sysdate in its name so that we can Uniquelly identified it.
Regards
DXB_DBA

On windows it gets a bit hairy as there really is no clean and nice way of doing it.There are a couple of options.
1. If you can rely on dateformat not changing, you can use a static substring expression. For example, the following might work w/ finnish locale echo %date:~3,2%%date:~6,2%%date:~9,4%Similarly, when you know the dateformat you can tokenize the output of 'date /t' and discard the tokens you don't want.
2. You can set dateformat to your liking and then just use %date% in your script
3. You can run a "SELECT to_char(sysdate,..." into a file and then read that file in your script.
4. Simon Sheppard also has a solution you could use as a basis. I have a slight issue with the approach, but that could just be me.
5. Use gnuwin32 or similar ;)
Also note that %date% env var is set automatically from w2k onwards, so some of the solutions might not work w/ older versions.

Data managers and database objects

Hi,
I'm considering replacing our current database interface libraries with OCCI. A couple of questions:
- Are database objects such as tables and columns accessible as OCCI types eg.
Table tbl;
Column col;
Note: I'm not interested in using Oracle user types at the database level here, unless there is no other way.
- Is OCI programming also required or is the OCCI conclusive (I know it's built on OCI)?
Regards,
Michael

- Are database objects such as tables and columns accessible as OCCI types
No. Data types are represented as classes, but to run a query you execute a statement which returns a resultset which you query with functions like getInt(1) or getString(2) which returns an int for column 1 and a string for column 2. OCI style casting of dvoid**'s to objects is not necessary as OCCI gives you the object directly.
- Is OCI programming also required or is the OCCI conclusive
I assume you mean comprehensive, in the sense that it exposes the full range of OCI functionality. No, and I don't believe OCCI/OCI interoperability has been implemented yet either (ER 3169746 is still open for this feature), so unlike Pro*C where you can fill in the gaps with OCI code, you are limited to OCCI's limitations (unless you have separate OCCI and OCI parts in the same application, just replacing with OCCI the parts that can be replaced with OCCI).

Ben's sample files and database

I have been trying to load the sample files from Ben Forta's site, and it is very confussing what to do exactly. The book says one thing, and the folder names on his site are another. I have Cold Fusion Builder running, and a server configured. But I am now to the (chapter 6, vol 1) where having this set of files already loaded is important. Of course I have read and followed the Appendix A as instructed. At least the best I could with all the verbiage on the book and the site folder not matching.
http://www.forta.com/books/032166034x
Ben has three zip's to download:
1. owsdata.zip (contents placed in: Cold Fusion 9/db/ows location on my computer)
2. owsdbscript.zip (no mention of what I am to do with this)?
3. CFWACK9-1.zip (contents placed in: Cold Fusion 9/wwwroot/ows on my computer)
But when I run the index.cfm file from the sql folder (#3 item above) in my Cold Fusion Builder, it does not display anything in the browser window.
This is supposed to be a tool to retreive data from a database....
What am I doing wrong here?
Please help if you can.....
Thanks,
ronbowalker

Email files and database appear to be lost or corrupted

I fear I've created a disaster here on my system and I really need some help and advice on how to get back on track, if that's at all possible.
* I run several PC's and laptops here and my TB 'Local directory' has been placed on a network drive.
* My old PC runs Vista 64 and has been my normal place to use TB for all my email and is configured as 'Server Type: POP Mail Server' and the tick box is set to 'Leave messages on server'.
* I've had to recently start up a new drive and operating system (Win 7 64) on the same box and in doing so, decided that I would probably be working on this one more often and would also like to access my email mostly from this OS/drive.
* Without thinking this through properly, I stupidly set up TB on the new drive and pointed it to the same 'Local directory' on my network drive.
* I also saw (but it didn't click) that in setting up TB on this new OS, TB defaulted to 'Server Type: IMAP server.
* All seemed fine at first and my In and Sent boxes were fine, but what was missing was ALL the other folders and messages I had stored under the account.
* On going into my network drive, to the 'Local directory', I can see all the folders are still there that should be under the account in TB, but there are NO files inside.
* I've also had a look on my Vista 64 machine (my original TB install) and cannot see in my Profiles folder, any corresponding files that match the folders on the network drive!
* And as of this morning, running TB on my original machine, I've now got data corruption on some duplicate IN box messages, where i'm seeing an old email from somewhere being repeated in the duplicate emails, plus, now going to my Sent box, ALL emails have data corruption, that is, although the headers are correct, every email now has a repeat of old email messages mixed into the message area.
I'm now very concerned and pretty lost as to where to go from here.
I've got a LOT of emails from the past and filed in those folders and I cannot seem to find anything that goes with them.
Any help or clues here would be very much appreciated.

Hi Matt, appreciate you coming back.
Sorry... I didn't see this until today as I'm trying to stay away from TB as much as I can until I get a clearer picture as to what damage I may have done, and just like accidental file deletion, I didn't want to make matters any worse than they seem to be already.
Ok, I've never consciously created a profile in any place other than what TB wants me to/defaults to, which I gather is the local drive, ie... C:/Users/'my name'/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/XXXXXX.default, but in TB, I have under the Account Settings/Server Settings/Local Directory, created an Email folder on the network drive and into this has gone all my email files.
Does that make sense?

Opening files and placing objects

I have CS3 and we recently put in a new server. Now I can open a file if I go to start explore and open it from there. However, if I click on file/open, from InDesign, the program crashes. The same thing happens when I hit control D to place a graphic. Does anyone know why this would happen?
Thanks.

Having trouble with the File and Folder Objects (PSCS3 javascript on Win)

I'm having trouble successfully creating a new folder on my windows platform, using javascripts in photoshop. In ExtendScript Toolkit 2, set to Adobe Photoshop CS3, I've tried:
var myFolder = new Folder("/c/Documents and Settings/vcastelo/My Documents");
myFolder.create();
and
var myFolder = new Folder("/c/Documents and Settings/vcastelo/My Documents");
is this right? what am I doing wrong? It's pretty basic stuff, I know but I can't figure is out... any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yep.

The "/c/Documents and Settings/vcastelo/My Documents/data" form works, too, and
should be preferred.
Here's an extreme example as to why this is a good idea:
I work in an XP/cygwin environment, so I added links to all of my drives in my
root cygwin folder. As a result, the path /p/Pictures/2008-05-05 is the same on
the bash command line (and other tools) as it is in PSJS. I carried this over to
my Mac, as well. I mount P: drive in OSX then setup links so that
/p/Pictures/2008-05-05 is also the same on the Mac. This has vastly simplified
my work. The only time I use system-specific pathnames is in a script's UI.

Importing 9i dump file into 10g database

Hello guys,
i know that 9i import is incompatible with 10g datapump.I want to know how i can move the data from my production database(9i) to the new site(10g) without much hassle.
I don't want to use upgrade because not all objects in 9i is needed in the new version of the application.I just want to export what i need from 9i to a dump file and then reimport it into 10g.
Has imp/exp being deprecated in 10g??
And i know i will get invalid objects,i hope recompilation would solve that.I will start the test next week.Just wanted to confirm.
Thank you
Charles

I don't think Export/Import is deprecated in Oracle 10g but Datapump is mostly used in 10g.
But if in 10g Exp/Imp is deprecated - Still you can have a Oracle 9i Client installation with Exp/Imp and then use imp and connect to a 10g database
Thanks

Database Restore Using Export Dump File

I have searched a lot of books and web sites, but cannot find the exact procedure as to how to restore full oracle database using the export dump file and the import utility.
Does anyone have any ideas.
Paltform: W2K AD Svr, Oracle 9.2.0.6.
Please advice

Hi, I was able to create the db using dbca, and then import.
When I first imported, I got messages all over that user or objects did not exist. So I commented the line which would invoke the CreateDBCatalog.sql script.
And now I get this,
C:\>imp '/ as sysdba' file=z:\export\tuethusat\dbname_full_export.dmp full=y
Import: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on Tue Oct 24 15:30:03 2006
Copyright (c) 1982, 2002, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
IMP-00003: ORACLE error 942 encountered
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
IMP-00023: Import views not installed, please notify your DBA

Any suggestions?

Dump file security

I'm using oracle 8i.
Lately I have come to realize that the dump file exported from oracle can be imported by any other user using any other user name and password. While importing Oracle doesn't ask for username and password. So in case I lose my dump file and it is mishandled by any other person, He/she can easily import the database and view my database without any problem. So is there any way I could secure my database. I mean is there anyway I could lock my dump file by password so that it cannot be easily hacked by other users.
Please put some light in it as soon as possible
Thankx in advance.

And already in the first sentence You are explaining why You have so many problems with exp dumps.
You are using very old and not supported oracle version.
*Lately I have come to realize that the dump file exported from oracle can be imported by any other user using any other user name and password. While importing Oracle doesn't ask for username and password. Not true, only under certain obstacles it is so. For example, You should be loged in as oracle user then You can imp as sys without specifying password like
imp / ....
or externally authorized ...
And actualy access to oracle user account should be only to dba not for everybody.
For other users there still is needed privilegy import_full_database and username/password

Starting with 10g exp/imp is replaced with new tool expdp/impdp.
Starting with 11g there are four more parameter for expdp/impd - Encryption, Encryption_algorithm, Encryption_mode and Encryption_password.
If You need more security - don't use old and unsupported oracle versions.
Otherwise just take care were You put Your dump files and who can actually access them. Or keep them in password protected archive.

Import only a procedure or functions from a dump file

helllo
i have an entire dump file of a database.and i want to import only two procedures from the dump file.i am using oracle 9i.
suppose AFRES.DMP is the dump file and CALC_PENSION is the package i want to import from AFRES.DMP to my PRIME database.
Regards sourav

What I'd do is import (with ROWS=N) the schema containing the packages you want into a new schema, then copy the things you want to your destination schema. I think this is the only way to do this selectively.
Cheers,
Colin
