How to have DDL "wait" until the lock is free in 10g

I saw this for 11g: http://www.scribd.com/doc/247954/Oracle-11g-DDL-Wait-Option-feature
Moving to 11g is not an option. I have code that does partition maintenance (adds a new partition and drops an old one) at night. However, sql loader may be running and the table may be locked. This happened already. Is there anyway to get my code to wait until the lock is released?

The is no DDL option on the partition operations that I know of to tell the DDL to wait if it cannot get a lock. You will have to implement a procedural fix such as updating a row with a value to indicate the sqlldr job is running or if the sqlldr task is controled via a external table take a user lock then execute the partition operations via stored code that checks the user lock first.

  • I am trying to authorise my new macbook air and it won't let me. I try to de-authorise all the other computers and it says I can only do this once a year and have to wait until the 7th Feb. It does not give me an option to authorise this computer

    Always remember to 'de-authorize' you computer when selling or sending for service. If sending for repairs you might not get the same mother board or HD back and some how this counts as an authorized computer against your count.

  • Ipod freezing in the middle of songs, have to wait until the battery dies.

    Help me, my ipod freezes in the middle of songs and i have to wait until the battery goes out until i can do anything with it. And the harddrive has started to click and it sounds like a fan that starts spinning after two clicks. What should i do ?
    Pc   Windows XP   Ipod 5th generation

    you know what its funny because my ipod just did this last weekend. its been freezing on and off for the last couple of months. I have had it for a year and a half. It would freeze and i would try and do the whole thing where you hold down menu and select and that worked for awhile, but then suddenly last weekend it froze and it started making a weird clicking sound too. i got ****** and just left it at home for the weekend. when i got back home the battery was dead of course and i just plugged it into the charger and it turned on again. im guessing that sometimes you just have to leave it alone. when it made that clicking noise, it wouldnt do anything. you just have to let the battery die and then recharge it.

  • ITouch has a black screen as if it's off but when plugged into the computer it says it's on. I have to wait until the battery dies to charge it and turn it back on.

    I've tried restarting it. When the battery finally dies and I get to turn it back on, it works for a while until it freezes, then I click the power button to put it on standby and then the screen won't turn back on but the computer says it's still on. However, the computer won't detect the device.

    When this happens hold the HOME and SLEEP button at the same time for about 10 seconds until an Apple logo appears. If that works we still need to find out why it is locking up.

  • Do I have to wait until the battery is completely empty until recharging?

    Must the battery from my iPad 4 be completely empty before recharging ?

    No, it is quite fine to charge at any time, for any amount. The Lithium based battery used in iDevices do not like to be depleted to low levels.

  • When ejecting - do i have to wait for the bar to go fully right?

    Silly question?
    When i eject my ipod - from either a mac or pc, the computer seems to think it is ejected before the ipod does. IS it safe to unplug once the the screen says it is ejecting, or doI have to wait until the progress bar goes all the way right.
    thanks

    Yes. You should wait until both the iPod and computer have finished ejecting properly. They didn't put that progress bar on there for no reason. (I don't mean that in a rude way ) Thankfully, it only takes a few more seconds for the iPod to completely eject.
    Hope this helps.

    Have a Droid Razr M that is stuck in the reboot screen. I tried a hard reboot and a factory reset, and it still gets stuck in the reboot screen. How long should I wait for the reboot to occur until it starts back up? I tried the steps for a factory reset given on this site, but it still does not want to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

        Hello otter314!
    Let's take a look into this to see if we can figure out what happened. When did this begin? What's the software version of the device? Do you remember what was happening with the device right before this started? Please supply me with some additional information, I'm happy to help with a resolution!

  • How to wait until the 1st part of the processing is done

    Hi,
    I had a hard time to combine two parts of processing in one .vi file, and thus would like to get some advice/help through the forum.
    Attached is the partial finished vi file I made. You can see that it is composed of two parts. The upper part is to run a bat file (check_result.bat), which generates a result.txt file. The lower part is to use the result.txt file as an input file, and check if the key word called "test case passed" is included in the result.txt file or not. So I want to run the upper part firstly, and then run the lower part after the upper part is finished.
    However, I don't know how to connect the two parts in a right way that the lower part only starts running after the upper part is finished. Any comments/help is highly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    The magic of dataflow!
    All you need is a data dependency between the two parts. Often critical parts of each section contain error terminals, so you can just string em along in the proper order and each part must wait until the previous node has finished.
    In your particular case, the read operation has no error input, so you can recruit any other input. Create a fake data dependency by strategically placing a small sequence frame containing common code. The sequence cannot start until all code that provides imputs has finished, serving your purpose.
    Of course it seems silly to even try to read the file if the previous node failed. Right? So simply place the second part inside a case and hook it up to the error output. Now the second part (1) waits until the first part has finished AND (2) execute only of the first part succeeded. No sequence needed.
    All clear?

  • What does it mean "Will Install" when I tried to install/sync an iOS app in iTunes and how long is the wait until the app is installed/Sync on my iOS device

    I am testing an iOS app developed by my team.  When I tried to update the new version, I kept receiving the "Will Install" status.  What do I have to do to get it installed as soon as I sync the device?  If I have to wait for whatever reasons, how long do I have to wait for the status to change.  I am using iTunes 11.0.1 (12).  Thanks

    I found that I had "restrictions" turned on under general settings. Turned them off, rebooted the iPad and it was able to install apps from iTunes.
    Hope this helps you.

    If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
    Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
    I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

  • Bluetooth connected phone call waits until the person answers to connect through speakers! How to change this.

    When placing a bluetooth call the car shows that the phone is connected but there is no ringing (it is still ringing in the phone speaker).  Then the person answers and it plays through the car speaker, but misses the first word.  What is happening?  I used to hear the phone ringing.  Now it waits until the person answers.

    This occurred when I updated the IOS to 8 and switched to an iphone 6 from a 5.
    I read both articles and did not find a solution to my dilemma.  To clarify further:
    When hooked up through bluetooth to my 2011 Honda Accord
    - incoming calls will ring the phone through the speakers and I can answer and speak through the speakers/car microphone by touching a switch on my steering wheel
    - outgoing calls that I initiate by touching the phone number on the phone will ring in the phone until the person picks up, it then switches to the car speakers (unfortunately, the hand-off results in missing a word or two that the answering person has said).  This did not work this way with my iphone 5 and ios 7.
    I hope this is better communicated and there is an answer.
    Thanks.

  • IPhone 5 recharging, shd I wait until the battery is empty?

    Someone told me that the battery suffers if I do not wait until the battery is empty and stop recharging before the battery is full. Can I recharge the phone whenever I want and how long I want or do I have to wait until it is empty/full?

    waiting until the battery is empty is a good idea but you have a limited amount of charge cycles but i recommend draining it fully
    it doesnt suffer at all and it should have a 8-10 hour life of battery
    yes you can charge whenever you want but you have a limited amount like 500
    charge 4-8 hours
