Can I disable logging for session in Oracle 10g?

I use a procedure to delete a lot of row for an application repeatedly. Because the DELETE statement is time consuming and the data don't need to be archived, I decide to use the nologging option.
How to do it?
What is the best choice? Can I disable logging from session in Oracle 10g?
Thank you

Hi,
"Delete" without generating redo-log is not possible.
If you are on 10g, one way of making this thing efficiant is partition the table, with range-list partitioning. Partitioning existing table will be an excercise in itself, but that will be one time activity.
In partitioned (or sub-partitioned) tables, you can truncate a partition (or subpartition). That won't generate any redo log (or very very less redo log) and that runs in seconds.
In your case if you range partition INCOMING table by datetime (1 partition per day) and list sub-partition it by STATUS, that would help.
Another approach is, if you are deleteing, say 80% records every day and leaving 20% (or very less) records. What you can do is, partition the table only by range on datetime. Then, every time you want to delete data, copy the rows you want to keep in some other table (or temporary table), truncate partition for that day and insert rows back (which you want to keep).
I have done a similar thing and it works very quickly and generates very less redo log. Redo log generated in case of truncating partition or creating new partitions is just for Oracle internal commands (like data dictionary update etc).
Have fun.

How to block Sql Plus sessions in Oracle 10g

Hi,
I want to block all sql plus sessions in oracle 10g, as we have a application and we need each and every one to use this application not the sql plus session.
Kindly update us as soon as possible. and also thanks in advanced.

Understand the concept Karl, but a layered defense seldom works in the IP world. If I manage to get through the firewall, then how can you prevent me access, at IP level, at any other ISO stack layer? If you manage to get through, then your firewall policies could just be too weak :) at least you must have some kind of an IDS infrastructure in place..
what I mean is, you can have infinite number of threats.. and this will be part of your Risk Analysis. Determining all possible threats to the assets, what are being protected and their associated value, and predicting the rate of occurrence.... with all of these you could probably come up with contingency plans and incident response.. And most of all, you should not ignore the fact that people are creative, ingenious, and curious, and they'll prove this to you by testing your security implementations. So you'll have to periodically evaluate your security.. that's why there are audits.. Also, you must balance Security, Performance, Usability, and your Budget.
Yes, you can argue that if the entire firewall goes down (thus no IP defense), then something like DBV (or even denying IPs in sqlnet) can provide some defense. But is that not then a case of too little too late? It's better too little too late, than no protection at all... Imagine if there's no DBV, or if you have not implemented the concept of "Least Privilege"? or if the backups and exports are not encrypted? That would be more devastating.. that's the importance of database security options and features in providing "defense in depth"
I question just what purpose and how effective IP packet security is at higher layers. It can never substitute doing this instead at firewall level. Well, it's not all about network security. All facets must be considered and the inter-relationships should be understand. Like the core information security and access management, physical and personnel security, training them, etc... And all of these are equally important in providing a secure ecosystem
As for security that relies on the client to pass secure data (like executable name or o/s user name)... all this can easily be spoofed. Even if the app and Oracle driver are somehow digitally signed and these signatures can be verified on the server side, we only need to look at Vista to see how secure this really would be. Microsoft attempted to encrypt every single h/w and s/w layer from the physical DVD track to the pixel on the monitor.. and this was defeated. And this was done as o/s kernel level. It is less complex to hack at driver level and even trivial to do it at application level.Security is about risk management. Blocking SQL*Plus does not negate the risk of SQL from the wild being run on a production server. For example, the client is a VB client using ODBC. It is easy to create a proxy that accepts the ODBC connection from the VB client and proxy the OCI packets to the real Oracle server. Now you have a man-in-the-middle than can inspect every single SQL call made to Oracle, and inject any PL/SQL or SQL code it wants.
Security is far beyond writing a login trigger to deny SQL*Plus sessions and calling that a defense. >
Yes I agree with you. That's why there are independent organizations and regulating bodies that provides security best practices, to give us a headstart on comming up of strong security policies.
And one of my favorites is the one provided by IASE (sponsored by Defense Information Systems Agency) where there's lot of content regarding hardening and policies

Perl library with Oracle 10g?

Hello,
Is the perl library in Oracle 10g? I want to use perl but was wondering if there is already perl library with the Oracle 10g stack that I can use? Thank you.

DBD is an open source database abstraction layer for Perl, run completely outside of any Oracle involvement. DBI::Oracle is also a CPAN distributed module, and to my knowledge is also a community effort.
They may be available somewhere as part of some Oracle distribution (I don't know) but for every vanilla installation I have done, I have acquired both of these modules using either my OS's package distribution (you can "yum install perl-DBD" on RedHat for example) or using Perl's standard CPAN module manager.
If you're not familiar with CPAN - you should look into it while you are using Perl.

Oracle gateway for Oracle 10g DB on Windows 64 bit server

Is there any place that I can find Oracle dateway for Oracle 10g DB on Windows 64 bit server? I can only find Gateway for Oracle 11g on Windows 32 bit server. Please help me to identify this. Thanks.

yingkuan:
Thanks a lot. The link tells the details. It seems that Oracle has not release Gateway for Oracle database 10.2.0.x on Windows 64 bit server. Probably they don't do it.
So under this circumstance, if I want to install Gateway (32 bit) on Oracle 10.2.0.3 DB on Windows 64 bit server for Teradata, I probably have to install Gateway software in another Oracle Home, then configure it right. Please give more advice on this. 32 bit Gateway will work for 64 bit database?

Kill Session in Oracle 10g

Oracle 10g r2
I killed a session after fetching the sid and serial from the v$session as under
select * from v$session where username='SAM';
alter system kill session '530,7420'
Now the status showed killed.
But again after some time one i query the v$session the status turn to inactive.
Why so?

Yeah Madrid....
Thanks for that.. at the developer side.. they did get session killed.
But actually my doubt here was. that once i killed the session then i go the status as "killed" in the v$session
but less then a minute when i again query the v$session then i see the status aa inactive. This is what is not clear to me.

Installation of OracleAS 10g on Red Hat Linux ES 3.0

Installation of Oracle AS 10g on RedHat ES 3.0
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
Copy from OTN Note
Start
Oracle 10g is certified to run the base release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (Advanced Server and Enterprise Server) without updates. If you have update CDs, you can use the boot CD from the update instead of the boot CD from the base release to automatically apply all updates during the installation. All updates from Red Hat are supported by Oracle.
1.     Boot the server using the first CD.
o     You may need to change your BIOS settings to allow booting from the CD.
2.     The boot screen appears with the boot: prompt at the bottom of the screen.
o     Select Enter to continue with a graphical install on the console. (For other installation methods and options, refer to the Red Hat Installation Guide.)
o     The installer scans your hardware, briefly displays the Red Hat splash screen, and then begins a series of screen prompts.
3.     Language Selection
o     Accept the default.
4.     Keyboard Configuration
o     Accept the default.
5.     Welcome Screen
o     Click on Next.
6.     Mouse Configuration
o     Accept the default.
7.     Installation Type
o     Select Custom.
8.     Disk Partitioning Setup
o     A thorough treatment of disk partitioning is beyond the scope of this article, which assumes that you are familiar with disk partitioning methods.
(WARNING: Improperly partitioning a disk is one of the surest and fastest ways to wipe out everything on your hard disk. If you are unsure how to proceed, stop and get help, or you will risk losing data!)
This article uses the following partitioning scheme, with ext3 for each filesystem:
The 9GB disk on the first controller (/dev/sda) will hold all Linux and Oracle software and contains the following partitions:
- 100MB /boot partition
-1,500MB swap partitionâSet this to at least twice the amount of RAM in the system but to no more than 2GB (32-bit systems do not support swap files larger than 2GB). If you need more than 2GB of swap space, create multiple swap partitions.
-7,150MB root partitionâ This partition will be used for everything, including /usr, /tmp, /var, /opt, /home, and more. This was done purely to simplify installation for the purposes of this guide. A more robust partitioning scheme would separate these directories onto separate filesystems.
9.     Boot Loader Configuration
o     Accept the default.
10.     Network Configuration
o     It is usually best to configure database servers with a static IP address. To do so, click on Edit.
o     A pop-up window appears. Uncheck the Configure using DHCP box, and enter the IP Address and Netmask for the server. Be sure that Activate on boot is checked, and click on OK.
o     In the Hostname box, select manually and enter the hostname.
o     In the Miscellaneous Settings box, enter the remaining network settings.
11.     Firewall Configuration
o     For the purposes of this walk-through, no firewall is configured. Select No firewall.
12.     Additional Language Support
o     Accept the default.
13.     Time Zone Selection
o     Choose the time settings that are appropriate for your area. Setting the system clock to UTC is usually a good practice for servers. To do so, click on System clock uses UTC.
14.     Set Root Password
o     Enter a password for root, and enter it again to confirm.
15.     Package Group Selection
o     Select only the package sets shown here. Leave all others unselected.
o     Desktop
- X Window System
- Gnome
- KDE

o     Click on Next to proceed.
16.     About to Install
o     Click on Next.
17.     Installing Packages
o     Software will be copied to the hard disk and installed. Change disks as prompted, and click on Next when the installation is complete.
18.     Graphical Interface (X) Configuration
o     Accept the defaults unless the installer does not recognize your video card. If your video card is not recognized, you will not be able to continue.
19.     Monitor Configuration
o     Accept the default if the installer correctly identifies your monitor. Otherwise, select a compatible monitor from the list.
20.     Customize Graphical Configuration
o     Accept the defaults.
21.     Congratulations
o     Remove the installation media from the system, and click on Next.
22.     The system automatically reboots and presents a new welcome screen.
o     Click on Next.
23.     License Agreement
o     Read the license agreement. If you agree to the terms, select Yes, I agree to the License Agreement and click on Next.
24.     Date and Time
o     Set the Date and Time.
o     If you want to use an NTP server (recommended), select Enable Network Time Protocol and enter the name of the NTP server.
25.     User Account
o     Create an account for yourself.
o     Do not create an account for oracle at this time. Creating the oracle account is covered later in this section.

There will no error in installation in infrastructure
Same as done with relink file in Middle tier installation. I would like to turn ur attention for a serious problem no one asked about it. Here u have seen that a script make 3 file in /usr/local/bin for infrastructure and middle tier when u finished infrastructureâs installation plz rename that 3 files as
Mv coredb coredb-infra
Mv dbhome dbhome-infra
Mv ora     â¦     oraâ¦-infra
If u overwrite that files by creating same name of middle tier files no problem.
When problem comes?
AS will work fine but when u have to install patches on AS then problem comes if u have overwrite that files. So plz rename them before creation of same files of middle tier. Thanx

Installing oracle 10g xe edition on linux

Hi,
I am trying to install oracle 10g xe edition on redhat linux. By default the oracle database rpm package uses /usr/lib partition for installation files. Is it possible to install the oracle database files in /export partition instead of default location /usr/lib?
Thanks
Kapil

There are a few differrent 'RedHat Linuxes' ... could you be a bit more specific.
But ... the default answer is 'no'. Several of us have used various workarounds, including creating a special link from /usr/lib/oracle to /export/oracle and the like.
I installed in /usr/lib and after successful installation I created a special link, copied everything to the new target, and have had no problems at all.
Others have used other techniques with success. INcluding the one by cd - tweak the install script.
