Increase database size

Hi,
I know nuts about Oracle administration. I have an oracle database that needs its size to be increased. Is it difficult to do? I was told I need to employ a DBA to do the job. Please advise.
Thanks.

Thanks In Advance

Hi,
you don't have to stop your database to increase the file size - it's an online operation. If you are more familiar with SQL code here is what you have to do:
use <SID> /*Put your database name here, e.g. PRD*/
go
select file_id, name, physical_name, size
from sys.database_files
where type_desc = 'ROWS'
In the resultset you will find a column called 'name' - that are the logical file names that we need for the increase. If you have a standard installation the names should look like <SID>DATA{1-4}. Next step ist the actual increase of the files:
/*Replace <SID> with your DB name*/
alter database <SID> modify file(name='<SID>DATA1', size=25GB) /*25GB ist just an example*/
alter database <SID> modify file(name='<SID>DATA2', size=25GB)
alter database <SID> modify file(name='<SID>DATA2', size=25GB)
alter database <SID> modify file(name='<SID>DATA4', size=25GB)
Thats it. If you run the first statement again, you will see that the filesize has been increased. You can also check on filesystem level.

"Increase database size" popup on gmail

When accessing gmail through Safari, I get a popup that says "Increase Database Size?" It then subtexts "Do you want to allow "mail.google.com" to increase database size to 10 MB?" The options are cancel or increase. How do I make this popup stop?
I have also cleared cookies, cache, history, and reset network settings.
I know this is a feature of gmail to cache, but how do I clear or prevent this?

The same thing is hapening to me. It is very irritating. Could someone please answer how to stop this, without suggesting switching to iMail. I have looked all over the web and lots of people asking about about this, but nobody offering the solution.

While using gmail a message appears asking to Increase Database Size? No message is stuck on my screen. Why?

While using gmail on my ipad a message appears "Increase Database Size?". After pressing cancel the message is stuck on my screen.
How do I get rid of the message so I can access my mail?

Here's a fix just in case other users have this problem and still sticks around:
In your passbook app- choose the Belly "Card." Tap the "i" icon on the bottom right corner and turn off the notification sliders. Passbook seems to go over the general notifications and just makes it's own rules in this regard.

Gmail through Safari - pop up message to increase database size?

several times when using gmail I get a pop-up message with the title "Increase Database Size?"
then in smaller letters it says "Do you want to allow "https://mail.google.com" to use up to 10 MB of storage on your iPhone"
button options to either cancel or increase.

It's happening to me right now (iPad 3) and several times over the last month. I am going to go out to gmail via another computer and do a major mail clean off the google server. Do you think that will help? I am on my way to the local MAC store. I try to even launch gmail and it seems to be in some major loop. site keeps flashing on and off my screen. glad I read this... thanks your post is very old so maybe you won't even get this....
Can anyone else help me?

Increase Database Size popup and never stop

When I opened an link from gmail in safari. The dialog poped up. It said Increase Database Size? Do you want to allow "http://help.apple.com" to use up to 10MB of storage on your iPhone? No matter I choose 'cancel' or 'Increase', it will pop up again. It's so annoying. I happened since two days before.
Who can tell me how to stop it?

Increasing Database Size

Hi,
I am working in oracle9i and Linux 2.4.I created a Database of size 0.7 GB. I want to increase the size of the Database to 5Gb.
Please explain me the SQL query.
Gobi.

the size of the database is the sum of size of all the tablespaces in your database.
in order to increse the size of ur database add some more datafiles to the existing tablespaces or resize your tablespaces to some high value.
there is no command to increase the size of the database.

Kasi Chukka

Hi Kasi,
Your question is not very clear, from the looks of it, the load on your client's system will be doubling soon.
You need to look at the system stats on how the system is handling the current load, use transactions ST06, ST04 and ST02 to check if the DB hit ratios are as expected, the cpu idle time, the busy periods. Identify if there is large amounts of paging on the server(candidate for increase in real memory).
On AIX level, you will need to look at CPU / Memory usage.
On SAP Application server, you need to look at SAP Buffers.
On Oracle end, look at SGA stats, if it need to increase, the data growth that is current and estimated growth (DB02).
You will not get an exact answer to it, you will need to analyze the existing load and then estimate (guess). The hardware upgrade will also depend on what the client is willing to spend, its always a good practise to add 20% to what you have estimated as these figures are never accurate.
All the best.
Cheers,
Nisch

Sudden Increase in database size

Hi all,
I have noticed sudden increase in sys schema size, after making queries on DBA_TABLESPCAES, DBA_DATA_FILE,
DBA_EXTENTS,DBA_SEGMENTS.
Does it means Oracle has generated lot of data after queries to these views ?
It's very urgent .
Please reply.

Hi,
Is any application accessing this database? If yes, then did you confirm with the application contact whether any heavy changes have taken place in the application/database? I think that an increase of 300M is not huge but normal/acceptable. However, it is a factor of the actual database size. What is you database size?
Regards.

If database field increases in size, how to change report to display this increase?

Hello Everyone,
I'm working with Oracle Reports 10g and have a report that was already created. I need to increase the size of a field from 50 to 200 in width to accomadate a database change. When i click on the field and choose properties, the width value is locked. How do i change this?
thank you,
steven

Hi,
Change your properties of horizontal/ vertical elasticity of the frame enclosing that object to Variable instead of fixed... Now try to define the width of your field .. It can be varied now...

Database Size goes on Increasing in SAP B1.Now the Size of my Data is 34Gb

Hello Experts,
As one of my client data is going on increasing the data,As of now the transaction data of the Database is 34Gb.
This how the cases i have'been tested in the test database with no results.
experts,would be greatly appreciated for this solution.Since,many days im into the problem to solve the issues.
The cases as follows:
1.Transaction (Mdf File)=34Gb
2.LogFile(LdfFile)=1Mb
3.History tables like AITW,AITM,ACRD--Reserves 6Gb compares to other history table.So,I 've changed the historyLog in SAP general setting to 1 and runned the addon to update the Itemmaster.Now the records aare been reduced from 1lakh to 25000.But the size occupied and freespace remains.
Is there any solution to solved this problem.
4.After deleting the records by addon,took the backup and restored .But same size effects for this case.
5.I have shrinked the database and file for the Db,with no result.
If the same problem continues for couple of years my data would reach to 60Gb.
Experts would be appreciated for this big solution.
Thanks,
Kumar

Gmail through Safari - popup message to increase iPad's database size.

I keep getting this message from Gmail to increase my iPad's 3 database size. I keep saying 'no' what should I do? Today I tried to sign-on to gmail and the sign-on screen comes up but the page and URL starts looping and flashing. can't even use back button, need to close the window. I am going to use a different computer and delete/clean mail does anyone know if this will work?
Thanks...

Try turning your iPad off and back on again. If that does not work then do a hard reset. And if that does not work then delete any messages you won't need on gmail....

How to Increase database / log size of mirrored database

Hi All,
I have been asked to increase the default database and log size of two databases, both of which are mirrored.
I have been trying to find out what else I need to do in this case other than the standard resizing.
Are there extra steps I need to perform as these dbs are mirrored (SQL Mirroring)?
Farren

Hi Farren,
Based on my test, if you choose to expand the mirrored database by increasing the size of an existing data or log file, you can directly execute the ALTER DATABASE statement on the Principal server as Uri’s post, but before that please make sure the mirroring
status is synchronized. You can check the mirroring configuration and partner status with the following query.
SELECT DB_NAME(DATABASE_ID) 'DBNAME',mirroring_state,
mirroring_state_desc,mirroring_role,mirroring_role_desc,
mirroring_partner_name,mirroring_partner_instance
FROM sys.database_mirroring
WHERE mirroring_guid IS NOT NULL
However, if you choose to expand the mirrored database by adding a new file to the database, you need to perform extra steps as follows.
   1. Check the mirroring configuration and partner status with above query.
   2. Run the below command on the principal server to break the mirror.
ALTER DATABASE DatabaseName SET PARTNER OFF
   3. Create your database file on the principal server.
   4. Run a log backup on the principal server.
   5. Restore this log backup on the mirrored server using the NORECOVERY and MOVE options.
   6. Re-establish mirroring between the servers for this database.

Rapid increase in database size

Hi everyone,
I'm just a bit alarmed by one of my clients, you see they have been using SAP B1 for almost a month now and their database size already grew to 13G. Is this normal?
Thanks,
Yvette

Vitor is on-track that resetting the number of records in the change log will help. All the history files, especially aitm, aitw can take enormous amounts of drive space, especially if all new items are assigned to add to all warehouses.
The problem with resetting the number of records allowed is that it doesn't, by itself, get rid of any records. Say my record limit was 99. I have many items with 99 records of change log history. If I change that setting to 10, nothing happens to those existing items with 99 records UNTIL I CHANGE THEM AGAIN. Then the system checks the allowed records, tosses 90, and saves my change as the 10th allowed record.
My company wrote a little addon for a client that went through and 'touched' every item in every warehouse so that the record count would actually help. Then we shrank the database files and recovered many gigs of space.
