I have question on Oracle 9i space management.

When I create a table.
Table A
field1 INTEGER
field2 Date
field3 Double
field4 VARCHAR2(30)
field5 Number(8).
The question is, when field3 and field5 is NULL/Blank. Does Oracle allocated the space for the record even when field3 and field5 is blank or null?
Thanks so much.

But you had used the term when asking about the space taken to store columns. I just wanted to make sure people understood the true question was space to hold null column values and not the row.
When discussing tables Tuples and rows are correct terminology but the use of records is poor terminolgy. You have rows in your tables and records in your program files though attention to terminology isn't what it once was.

  • Oracle Free Space Management

    Is Free Space Management a Initialization Parameters,
    if so which one,
    Where is Free Space Management keepth ?
    Eric

    Eric, Free space management is not a database parameter. You should read the Concepts manual. It explains Tablespace management and object management basics. Or you can see the chapters devoted to Tablespace and Object management in the DBA Administration Guide for a more detailed analysis.
    To find free space in the database see the dictionary view: dba_free_space.
    To how space management is handled for a tablespace see the dictionary view: dba_tablespaces.

  • Space management oracle

    Hi all,
    Greetings of the day..
    I have few doubts about the space management in ASSM tablespace.
    1.Does ALTER TABLE SHRINK COMPACT needs ALTER TABLE ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT to be fired prior
    2. I have table having fragmentation and materialized views on top of it updating with ROWID' s , how can i defragment the table without dropping the MVS
    Thanks,
    Uday

    I'm not sure what you're showing here. Is this showing why you believe the table is fragmented? It shows that the table has some reclaimable space. That's not normally what people are concerned about when they talk about "fragmentation".
    Note that if you use the \ tag (6 characters, all lower case) before and after cutting and pasting fixed format data (such as the output of SQL statements), you'll preserve the white space and make your posts much easier to read.

  • White space management gone on reboot

    I have a strange problem here. Anytime we reboot our server,
    the setting we have selected (on) for white space management in the
    CF admin disappears. We can re-enable it easily of course, this is
    just a mystery we would like to solve. Any ideas?
    Server Details
    Server Product ColdFusion MX
    Version 7,0,2,142559
    Edition Standard
    Operating System Windows 2003
    OS Version 5.2

    I have noticed that numerous settings in my cold fusion
    administrator are reset each time The server is rebooted or the
    Cold Fusion service is restarted. These include white space
    management, global script protection, and specific settings that
    are needed to individual dsn settings. These can not all be
    resolved by adding processing directives to the application.cfm. Is
    this issue related to the fact that my only interaction with my
    server is through a terminal services (RDP) connection?

  • Does Oracle Database Resource Manager work at all?

    I have been testing Oracle Database Resource Management...
    Environment: OS IBM AIX 5L 64 bit core, DB Oracle8i 8.1.7.4 Enterprise Edition.
    To test, I followed the procedure in the Oracle Metalink Bulletin Note:106948., Oracle8i: Database Resource Manager samples.
    But I was not able to reproduce any succes. There seems to be no difference running with at plan and not running with af plan enabled.
    Does anydody know of a problem with the combination of Oracle and AIX, or any other problems that could explain why it doesn't work?

  • URGENT : Challenge questions query: Oracle Access Manager 10g

    Hi all,
    This is a query regarding password challenge questions in Oracle Access Manager 10g. We have created password policies for a specific container in OID (say cn=xxx,cn=users,dc=oracle,dc=com) and it is working fine.
    In order to exclude certain set of users (say user ABC ) for password policies, we have set the obpasswordchangeflag to false for those users which are in same container for which password policy is created.
    When we try to login to the application with the user say ABC, I am not seeing any reset password page - I am happy till this point. However it is showing Configure Challenge questions page. Is there any way to bypass this page? Or is this the expected behavior?
    This is very urgent and prompt reply is very much appreciated.
    -Mahendra

    Hi Mahendra,
    This is expected behaviour. In order to exclude the password policy management for some certains user for particular domain/container. please add the below configuration parameter to your OAM10g password policy.
    Password Policy Filter Field     (!(|(cn=xxx)(cn=abc)))

  • Few questions regarding Oracle Scorecard and strategy management.

    Hi,
    I have following questions regarding Oracle Scorecard and strategy management:
    1. What are the ways in which i can show status of a KPI, like we have colors and symbols, what are others?
    2. can we keep log of KPIs, store them, keep report of feedback/action taken on that?
    3. Does Scorecard and strategy management have ability to retain history on feedback and log of
    entries i.e. date/time, user name?
    4. Does Scorecard and strategy management have ability to use common mathematical formulas e.g. median, average, percentiles. Describe.?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Questions on Oracle Management Packs

    1. What is the difference between MANAGEMENT PACK and CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT PACK (Oracle versions 10g & 11g)
    2. If one uses CONFIGURATION must one also use MANAGEMENT?
    3. Is there a view that tells if either of these are actually being used? (No, I dont mean using the capability in Grid Control/EM to turn them on or off)

    5. Do Extent also span files(ORA files) i.e. 'Table can span across ORA files' whether it means part of a Extent may present in one Data file and other part in another data file.
    A table Extents can span into multiple datafiles. But, a single extent can't span into multiple datafiles.
    4. How are Bitmap used to track used and Free space in Locally managed TablespacesA Locally Managed Tablespace is a tablespace that manages its own extents maintaining a bitmap in each datafile to keep track of the free or used status of blocks in that datafile. Each bit in the bitmap corresponds to a block or a group of blocks. When the extents are allocated or freed for reuse, Oracle changes the bitmap values to show the new status of the blocks. These changes do not generate rollback information because they do not update tables in the data dictionary (except for tablespace quota information), unlike the default method of Dictionary - Managed Tablespaces.
    ** Reduced recursive space management
    ** Reduced contention on data dictionary tables
    ** No rollback generated
    ** No coalescing required

    Hi, we need to create the test environment from our production for oracle AP Imaging. we have soa,ipm,ucm and capture managed servers in our weblogic..
    Can anyone tell me what is the best way to cloning the application from different environment, the test and production are in different physical server.
    Can I just tar the weblogic file system and untar it to the new server and make the necessary changes?
    Can anyone share their experiences and how to with me?
    Thank in advance.
    Katherine

    Hi Katherine,
    yes and no . You need as well weblogic + soa files as the database schemas (soa_infra, mds...).

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    1. What Table Directory portion in Oracle Data Block store?

    Is Data Dictionary also contain the information about the Tables and where it stored? If so why Data block also need to contain the same information.

  • Migration LONG to LOB in manual space management tablespaces

    Hi everyone,
    We have Netweaver 7.0 and Oracle 11g and we are considering to migrate our manual tablespaces to ASSM. The first problem we've found is we can't do that online due to the LONG data type. So we decided to migrate LONG to LOB first. Note 835552 says that for Oracle version 11g the conversion is from LONG to SECUREFILE. But we follow seeking notes and in 1426979 (Oracle 11g: SecureFiles - The new way to store LOB data) one of the prerequisites for the conversion is to use ASSM tablespaces.
    At this point, we can't migrate (online) to ASSM due to LONG data and neither can migrate to SECUREFILE due to the ASSM.
    My question is: is it possible to make the migration from LONG to SECUREFILE specifying in the brspace a new tablespace with ASSM?
    Thanks in advanced.

    Hello
    It is in fact possible to reorganize segment to a specific target tablespace using brspace option -n|-newts
    brspace -u / -f tbreorg -a long2lob -o sapsr3 -s <source_tablesapce> -t allsel -n <target_tablespace_in_ASSM>
    It is odd that in 11g you are not in ASSM, so you upgrade to that version and never performed tablespace reorg ?
    620803 - Oracle 9i: Automatic Segment Space Management
    The new ASSM function is available as of Oracle Release 9i. As of Oracle 10g, ASSM is already contained in the standard system, and new tablespaces are by default created as ASSM tablespaces.

  • Manual segment space management and LMT

    hi,
    I am reading a book that says:
    Using manual space management requires the DBA or the creator of the segment to specify values for the PCTFREE, PCTUSED, FREELISTS, and FREELIST GROUPS parameters when creating the object and maintaining them as the volume of segment data increases.
    EXAM TIP PCTFREE, PCTUSED, FREELISTS, and FREELIST GROUPS can be set only for dictionary-managed tablespaces.
    This confuses me. Surely a LMT can have objects that have MSM and not ASSM, if so, why can those not objects have PCTFREE, PCTUSED, FREELISTS, and FREELIST GROUPS set?
    thanks
