Hi, you have a mistake into sql statement, you must especify the index ower, please try with this
SELECT 'ALTER INDEX ' || OWNER || '.' || INDEX_NAME||' REBUILD TABLESPACE ABC_INDX;'2 FROM DBA_INDEXES3 WHERE OWNER='ABC';
Luck.
Have a good day.

    Hi users,
    Thanks for reply.
    Actually the problem is -
    For portrait dimensions are -
    width 20
    height 30
    for landscape , obviously it will be
    width - 30
    height - 20
    Thus , for second page - table width is 20 while page width is 30 and so 10 cm space remains blank on right side of page
    user says that right side should not be blank, rather you extend table width to whole page width.
    thats where the problem is

  • Move index to a different tablespace using dbms_redefinition?

    Hi all, I am trying to move indexes to new tablespaces. Can I use oracle built-in package DBMS_REDEFINITION for this? As far as I know dbms_redefinitoin only works for tables rebuilt online? I am running 10.2.0.5 on linux red hat, and the index sizes from 100MB to 10gb. Thank you in advance all.

    Since one can seamlessly move an index from one tablespace to another by simply doing:
    SQL>  alter index <index_name> rebuild tablespace <tablespace_name>;even considering DBMS_REDEFINITION for this makes no sense at all.
    If your boss has any further questions, show him the Oracle documentation:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_redefi.htm
    Quote from that page:
    "The DBMS_REDEFINITION package provides an interface to perform an *online redefinition of tables*."
    (Emphasis added by me.)
    Hope that helps,
    -Mark

  • Flash z-index problem

    hi!
    I have problem with z-index of my flash animation.
    On Mac everything works great (on Safari and Firefox), but on Windows I have the same problem on all browsers.
    Basically, the dropdown menu is displaying below my flash animation instead of above.
    I'm surprised on mac everything is working perfectly and it doesn't depend on the browser...
    is maybe due to the published javascript code generated by Flash ?
    thanks

    Safari and Firefox Mac have very broken and slightly broken

    Yes because 2 tables in 2 differents schemas are independant objects.
    Index are only created automatically by Oracle at table creation if index are used by table constraints (primary key or unique).
    The best way is index and table in same schema?Yes.
    If i move index other schema should i give any grant?
    No if the index is created in the table schema.

  • Table attribute assignments / indexing problem

    Appears that in the out of the box Ultra Search setup Oracle overrides the basic assignments of attributes. For example if I assign Author search attribute to table field auth , it gets overriden and indexed from what was in the meta data field of the incoming document. If pdf or other doc type it uses that author meta data field of doc instead of what attribute assignment I made. Is this just for this version and the next version will have the option? It appears that no matter what, the override happens. Any help or suggestions in this attribute assignment and indexing problem?

    This is a bug in 1.0.3 and has been fixed in 9.0.2 and 9.2.

    Oh Guten Tag.
    If your Home Button works, you should be able to reset - press the Home and Main button at the same time for 15 sec. Then press the main button for 2sec to have it restart.
    Do what I said earlier:
    I would advice you to go to the link I sent you above: https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do and ask for an exception.
    I don't promise that they'll change it but they may, mainly if the problem of the Home Button is going on since more than half a year (still within the one year warranty) and you just explain that you did not know that you could have changed it at the time and now it's completely dead.
    If you really want to recover all your stuff and are living in the US, you should go to the nearest Genius bar and see what they can do.

  • How I solved my Spotlight+ Mail indexing problem

    OK, so I thought I would post my solution to a stubborn indexing problem, for people who may have the same issue (and it does seem many people do).
    Problem: Spotlight index was unreliable. In particular, Spotlight was terrible at indexing mail. It could not find the messages by content that it would find by searching the "from" field, nor could it find those reliably. Unusable.
    What DID NOT work:
    -- adding and removing any folder whatsoever in the Privacy preferences of Spotlight. The index would rebuild, but with the same problems.
    -- doing this via terminal (e.g, using sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/MyHardDisk)
    -- using Onyx
    -- using Spotless
    -- simply reinstalling the system
    -- manually modifying the plist files inside the .spotlight folder to add and remove the folders that would not get indexed.
    What DID work:
    -- first, I reinstalled the system. That's not such a big deal. Upgrade up to 10.4.6
    -- then, I authorized the root user (that's probably not necessary) (this, you do by using Netinfo manager)
    -- Then, I deactivated the index (via terminal:
    sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/MyHardDisk
    -- now the tricky part. This concerns Mail, in particular.
    I have a very complex mail folder (tens of thousands of messages). I noticed that inside each mail folder, I had two things that were not supposed to be there
    1. a copy of each folder.mbox which was empty, but with the same name without the extension .mbox. This is probably something that was created while importing mail from Panther to Tiger, for what I can tell.
    2. Most importantly, a file named ".index.ready". This also, apparently, was an old legacy coming from Panther. I suspect this was the main problem for the lack of indexing in Mail.
    Ok, so... I deleted these folders and files. If you have a complex structure of subfolders, you can delete the files with an Unix command by first cd to your mail folder, and then use
    find . -name \.index.r* -ok rm {} \;
    which will ask you confirmation before deleting each file.
    It was faster to remove the empty subfolders by hand, as they all had different names.
    -- Ok, at this point, I erased entirely the .Spotlight-V100 directory which stays at the root of your computer. You can do it with a rmdir command from the terminal or, as I did, you can login as root (remember, we activated root), use a utility that allows you to see hidden files (e.g., Tinkertool), and move it manually to the trash folder.
    Then I emptied the trash. For superstition, I restarted, and let the index be built again (that took about 5 hours in my computer, for an HD with about 60 gb occupied on it).
    Now everything seems to work perfectly fine. I don't know whether this procedure can be shortened, but I do know that nothing else worked for me. I thought I would post it here as I spent sooo much time to solve this problem, and furthermore, I found that none of the suggested solutions would work.
    OK, your responsibility to do it, if you want to do it. Hope nobody needs to!
    Best to you all,

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lucabo! Using ideas from your post, I also (at least for now) solved my Mail indexing problem. One day (not even after an upgrade) Mail just quit finding messages by content, even when I had open a message with that content!
    What I did:
    -- In System Preferences, told Spotlight to index only Mail (I just use grep from a Terminal window for everything else!)
    -- Ensured Mail app wasn't running
    -- Backed up my Library/Mail folder to an external disk
    -- Turned off indexing via Terminal (after sudo sh), with
    mdutil -i off /Volumes/MyHardDisk
    -- Deleted old files in my mailboxes (inside the whatever.mbox folders):
    .index.ready
    mbox
    tableofcontents
    content_index
    It was clear that mbox, tableofcontents, and content_index were left over from a previous version of mail - they hadn't been accessed since I upgraded.
    Note that I didn't delete the whatever.mbox folders (just the plain mbox file inside)!
    -- Deleted (in Terminal) the .Spotlight-V100 in the root directory
    -- Restarted my Mac. The indexing started itself. Since I had it set up to index only Mail, it took about 3-ish hours to finish (I have 100s of 1000s of emails in thousands of folders).
    After the indexing finished, all the test searches that I tried worked. From now on I will always be suspicious if search doesn't find anything!
    Also, I just checked - using the Spotlight field on the menu bar now works better too. When the Mail search problem showed up, I tried using the Spotlight field and the Spotlight window, but they would just flash up a few items, remove the list, over and over, sometimes with the beachball, then finally settle to an empty list. Now the Spotlight field seems to work.
    I infer that the Spotlight index gets corrupted, and that the Spotlight code doesn't notice that it's reading junk from the index...
    BTW, about the same time that search quit working, some emails in my Inboxes got highlighted with a dark brown background color. Have no idea why. They aren't marked as Junk (the junk messages have the text in the usual lighter brown). But, when I select a message with the dark brown highlight, mark it as junk, then mark it as not junk, the dark brown highlight goes away. On some occasions, just quitting Mail and restarting makes the dark brown highlights go away - but not always. Sigh... at least it's not a show stopper, even if it is ugly!
    Thanks again, Lucabo, for your post!

  • Ipad 2 - 30gb and running out of space, but i don't have that many movies - can anyone help

    ipad 2 - 30gb and running out of space, but i don't have that many movies - can anyone help?  How do i find a directory of files that I can manage (PC user)?
    thanks!

    You might have to do some experimenting from iTunes on your computer.
    Several months back, I had a phantom 5G of video.  I unchecked ALL video files and synced the iPad and the 5G was still there.  I was able to delete the 5G and bring it back by repeatedly unchecking and checking the "Sync Movies" box.
    A "Restore" solved my problem.  Be forewarned that it's not quick:
    Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

    Is this a movie from iTunes? If so is it a rental or one you've purchased?

    My daughter has just bought me an iPad 2 from Dubai and set it all up for me but unfortunately the iMessage function doesn't seem to work. We keep getting messages,when trying to activate it, that there is a network connection problem - help!

    Thank you both for your responses but my daughter was reassured by the salesman in the iStyle store (official Apple store in the UAE) that iMessages would work but conceded that FaceTime wouldn't. My iTunes account is registered in the uk and my daughter's iPhone has iMessages even though she bought it (and uses it) in Dubai. Can anyone else throw any light on this?

  • I have an external hard drive which has my i-photo on it & some movies from i-movie that I have on disk now. But for some reason my ehd has a caution symbol on it & I can't move my event to free up space on my hd so that I can export i-movie events. Help!

    I have an external hard drive which has my i-photo on it & some movies from i-movie that I have on disk now. But for some reason my ehd has a caution symbol on it & I can't move my event to free up space on my hd so that I can export i-movie events. Help!

    Usually the caution symbol means that it's formatted as a PC compatible format like NTFS or most likely FAT32. For iMovie to use it the ehd must be formatted Mac OS Extended. Then iMovie will show it without the caution symbol and you can drag/drop open any Event/Project from that hard drive.
    To find out if it's formatted as PC:
    Go to the desktop, holding down the Control key click on that ehd and in the pop-menu choose 'Get Info'
    Under Format: It will say whether or not it's Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The only way to undo a PC formatted ehd would be to copy everything off of it first, Erase/Format the drive using Disk Utility in the Applications>Utilities folder on your Mac, choosing the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format in the pull-down menu there.
