Need Advise and Suggestions-Oracle 10g

Hi,
I have been working on databases as DB developer(mainly PLsql)--Oracle 10g
Recently,i have joined in a particular position where I have been asked to find out areas where
improvement is necessary / or areas where improvement or changes would help very much and also gradually implement all best practises avaialable.
So,could you please help me with these queries
(1)What are the most important areas that i can start with the database which would impact largely the entire database.How can i start with it? any steps or process
(2)I had once taken a report out for the expensive SQLs running.But that dint help much...because those SQLs were used temporarily on and off.
Similarly,what are the other points to be looked on.
(3)Things which can be replaced with the industry standarad better ones fully.
an example would be...like.."following a particular naming format,or coding style,etc
Thanks
Rohit

Hi Rohit,
This is a pretty huge subject. To start, I'd say you need to talk to the business. Talk to the users of the database, cause they are your customers. Get a clear understanding of the most critical business processes. Start with the most critical ones, and get performance profiles. How long do they take to run? What's the customer's perception of the process performance? If it's acceptable, move on to the next one. If it's not acceptable, you'll need to dig deeper. Look at each piece of the process. Where is the most time being spent? Can it be improved? This step will be a combination of process improvement and setting the correct expectation. Often, the user doesn't really know what is realistic in terms of performance. If you have a 2 billion row table that needs to get full table scanned, expecting a response time of a few seconds just simply isn't going to happen. You need to clearly convey that to the customer. On the other hand, at the same time, you should be on the lookout for real improvements. If you can re-write the SQL or add an index, and eliminate the FTS on that 2 billion row table, maybe a response time of a few seconds is actually realistic.
It's all about understanding the system, and understanding the customer's needs, and how they intersect. It will be an iterative process, and will take some time.
As to "best practices", I'm not a fan of them. Understand your system, understand your customer's needs, and understand how Oracle actually works. If you can master that, you'll be unstoppable. Note that many, many people, much smarter people than me, have spent a lifetime trying to master those three points... :-)
Good luck with your new job!

  • Restore and recover Oracle 10g database from tape.

    I have a very basic question for restore and recover Oracle 10g database. Our envirnment settings are:
    Oracle 10g on Unix, daily database and archivelog backup to Vista NetBackup server. Retention policy is 2. Old backup files are copied from NetBackup server to the tape for record keeping.
    I want to restore a database to a point in time. Because our retention policy is setup to 2. The backup files I need have been copied to the tape. So I should ask SYSTEM ADMIN to copy the backup files back to NetBackup server disk or I can ask him to copy backup files to the Unix server that host my Oracle 10g database. Then I can use Rman to do restore and recover. Is this doable? I know normal procedure is to copy backup files I need back to NetBackup server disk, not directly back to database server. Please put your comments here as early as better. I do appreciate your kind help.

    Are you using catalog or nocatalog?
    If the backup information is out of retention, Catalog them again also in netbackup.
    So that you can able to restore database directly without copying those files to host.

    I need advise and help with this problem .
    First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
    At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
    In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
    Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
    trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
    Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
    ''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
    With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
    I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
    Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

    Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
    To remove it, see:

    Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

    Subject: How to perform FULL System Export/Imports
    Type: BULLETIN
    Status: PUBLISHED
    Content Type: TEXT/X-HTML
    Creation Date: 18-APR-1994
    Last Revision Date: 30-AUG-2002
    Purpose
    This article highlights some important points to consider when performing
    a Full System Export and Import.
    Scope and Application
    It is intended to assist users performing FULL System Exports and Imports.
    A Full System Export and Import is a useful way to replicate or clean up
    a database. Please note the following guidelines when performing a Full
    System Export and Import:
    1. When performing the import, ensure you are pointing at the correct
    instance. Always check values for the SID and two task driver before
    proceeding.
    *Note:   On Unix systems, just entering a sub-shell, such as using
    C-shell, can change the database that the import would work
    against.
    2. When possible, it is advisable to take a physical copy of the
    exported database and the database you intend to import into before
    starting the import. This ensures any mistakes are reversible.
    3. NEVER run a FULL SYSTEM IMPORT on a machine that has more than one
    database UNLESS you are 100% sure all tablespaces have been
    pre-created. A full import will create any undefined tablespaces
    using the same datafile names as the exported database. There are
    situations where this is very dangerous:
    -> If the datafiles belong to ANY other database, they will be
    CORRUPTED. This is especially true if the exported database is
    on the same machine, because its datafiles will be re-used by
    the database you are importing into.
    -> If the datafiles have names that clash with existing operating
    system files.
    4. When exporting, it is advisable to also produce a report showing
    information you may need before / after the import:
    -> List the tablespaces and datafiles
    -> List the rollback segments
    -> List a count, by user, of each object type such as tables,
    indexes, etc.
    This enables you to ensure that tablespaces have been pre-created
    and to check the success of the import after it is complete.
    5. If you are creating a completely new database from an export, remember
    to create an extra rollback segment in SYSTEM, and make this available
    in the init.ora file before proceeding with the import.
    6. There are some versions of export that do not retain sequence numbers
    correctly. It is advisable to select next_value for each sequence
    after the export so that these can be checked after import.
    Following these guidelines will help you to avoid major problems.

    Subject: How To Copy an Oracle Database To Another Machine
    Type: HOWTO
    Status: PUBLISHED
    Content Type: TEXT/X-HTML
    Creation Date: 12-OCT-2001
    Last Revision Date: 01-OCT-2003
    goal: How to copy an Oracle database to another machine
    fact: Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition
    fix:
    Pre-requisites: The copy is between 2 machines, both have to be on the same OS
    and have to have exactly the same database version installed.
    1. Make sure the database you want to copy was closed with a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE,
    SHUTDOWN NORMAL or SHUTDOWN TRANSACTIONAL.
    2. Copy init.ora and control files to create instance and be able to go in
    mount mode. Check the init.ora for the locations where the controlfiles have
    to be, if those locations are not valid on the machine put the control files on
    different places and adjust the init.ora accordingly.
    3.a. Copy the datafiles (all of them).
    b. Copy the redo-logfiles (all of them).
    4.a. (Unix only) Set the environment variables:
    ORACLE_SID - set to the database name you wish to create
    ORACLE_HOME - set to full pathname of the Oracle system home directory
    PATH - needs to include $ORACLE_HOME/bin
    b. (NT/2000 only) Do 'set ORACLE_SID=<SID>'
    Use oradim to create the service for the instance. For more information
    on oradim please refer to (the part that refers to creating a new instance):
    Note:68720.1 Creating a new 7.3, 8.0, 8.1 Instance/Database
    5. Use servermanager (check the name to use for your version of oracle) or
    sqlplus (version 9i and above) to startup the database in mount mode.
    Do
    CONNECT INTERNAL/<PASSWORD>
    then
    STARTUP MOUNT
    Then do a rename of the copied datafiles if they are not in the same path as on
    the other machine. For all the files that are in the result of the query:
    SELECT NAME FROM V$DATAFILE;
    do
    ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '<oldfullpath>\<filename>' to <
    newfullpath>\<filename>';
    6. Query the datadictionary for the old location of the redolog files using:
    SELECT MEMBER FROM V$LOGFILE;
    If the new place is not the same as the old do:
    ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '<oldfullpath>\<redologfilename>' to &
    lt;newfullpath>\<redologfilename>';
    7. Now open the database:
    ALTER DATBASE OPEN;

  • Steps to export and import oracle 10g databse from AIX to AIX and LINUX

    Hi,
    I need the steps to export the oracle 10g database from AIX server to AIX server and LINUX server.
    Please give me all the steps as this is my first exort an import activity.
    thanks,

    For 10g there exist two ways to do so.
    1) Regular exp/imp.
    2) Data pump expdp/impdp.
    As this is your first export and import activity, relevant concept understanding is mandatory for you.
    Documentation Link
    http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/toc.htm
    Read the chapters 1,2,3 (Data pump expdp/impdp) and 19 (regular exp/imp). Good luck.

  • How to install and configure Oracle 10g Express Edition on Fedora 11?

    Hi everyone!
    I have recently installed Oracle 10g XE on my Laptop Gateway T-1625, which has Fedora 11.
    I followed the install instructions on [http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/tutorial/DBXETutorial/index.htm] , and configured the server as explained, but something is wrong... When I try to go to the database home page http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex, I get "Failed to Connect" on Firefox 3.5b4... I don't think it's because of the Firefox version because it's proved to be very stable (for a beta).
    I've search for similar issues on GNU/Linux and I found this thread in these forums: [ http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=915218&tstart=0] , but the solution is for Ubuntu 9.04, and if it's possible I would like to know a specific solution for Fedora 11.
    I also tried to see the oracle server status with:
    # /etc/init.d/oracle-xe status
    And I got this....

    Hi again!
    After your last post I realized that the dba group and the oracle user already existed.
    #groupadd dba
    groupadd: group dba exists
    #useradd oracle -d /home/oracle -s /bin/bash -g dba
    useradd: user oracle existsHowever, I finally assigned a password for that account and changed the ownership of the /usr/lib/oracle/xe
    with the commands you suggested:
    passwd oracle
    chown -R oracle:dba /usr/lib/oracle/xeAfter this, I can log in as the oracle user but the SELinux showed a warning and the /usr/lib/oracle/xe
    is treated as the oracle home, and no .bashrc file is located on this home. This is the SELinux warning:
    SELinux is preventing gdm-session-wor (xdm_t) "write" to /usr/lib/oracle/xe (lib_t).
    Details:
    SELinux denied access requested by gdm-session-wor. /usr/lib/oracle/xe may
    be a mislabeled. /usr/lib/oracle/xe default SELinux type is user_home_dir_t, but its
    current type is lib_t. Changing this file back to the default type, may fix your problem.
    File contexts can be assigned to a file in the following ways.
      * Files created in a directory receive the file context of the parent
        directory by default.
      * The SELinux policy might override the default label inherited from the parent directory
    by specifying a process running in context A which creates a file in a directory
    labeled B will instead create the file with label C.
        An example of this would be the dhcp client running with the dhclient_t type and
    creates a file in the directory /etc. This file would normally receive the etc_t type due
    to parental inheritance but instead the file is labeled with the net_conf_t type
    because the SELinux policy specifies this.
      * Users can change the file context on a file using tools such as chcon, or restorecon.
    This file could have been mislabeled either by user error, or if an normally confined
    application was run under the wrong domain.
    However, this might also indicate a bug in SELinux because the file should not have
    been labeled with this type.
    If you believe this is a bug, please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
    against this package.
    Allowing Acces:
    You can restore the default system context to this file by executing the restorecon command.
    restorecon '/usr/lib/oracle/xe', if this file is a directory, you can recursively restore using
    restorecon -R '/usr/lib/oracle/xe'.
    Fix command:
    restorecon '/usr/lib/oracle/xe'I suppose the command #useradd oracle -d /home/oracle -s /bin/bash -g dba is where I can define the user's home, but if this user already exists how can I modify its settings?
    is SELinux preventing the .bashrc file to be created? or what could be causing this?.
    I hope you know how much I appreciate your help and want to thank you for your time.

  • Need help for importing oracle 10G dump into 9i database

    hi, Someone help me to import oracle 10G dump into 9i database. I'm studying oracle . Im using oracle 10G developer suite(downloaded from oracle) and oracle 9i database. I saw some threads tat we can't import the higher version dumps into lower version database. But i'm badly need help for importing the dump...
    or
    someone please tell me the site to download oracle 9i Developer suite as i can't find it in oracle site...

    I didnt testet it to import a dump out of a 10g instance into a 9i instance if this export has been done using a 10g environment.
    But it is possible to perform an export with a 9i environment against a 10g instance.
    I am just testing this with a 9.2.0.8 environment against a 10.2.0.4.0 instance and is working so far.
    The system raises an EXP-00008 / ORA-37002 error after exporting the data segments (exporting post-schema procedural objects and actions).
    I am not sure if it is possible to perform an import to a 9i instance with this dump but maybe worth to give it a try.
    It should potentially be possible to export at least 9i compatible objects/segments with this approach.
    However, I have my doubts if this stunt is supported by oracle ...

    Hi Anit,
    Is it safe to do so.ALWAYS check with your CSR for licensing deals, things change constantlt.
    what are the difference between both the edition.EE has all the goodies! Here is my list of differences in SE and EE: http://www.dba-oracle.com/art_so_oracle_standard_enterprise_edition.htm
    what are the restriction i can face if i am moving form 10g enterprise to 10g standard.No replication, no Data Guard, no stored outlines, no MV's . . . .
    what are the steps i have to do to do the same.Just install SE, point your $ORACLE_HOME to it and bounce

  • Need help regarding upgrading Oracle 10g Forms to Oracle 11g Fusion Middlew

    Hi All,
    I am trying to create a workshop on a VM for showing the migration / upgrading of Oracle Forms 10g to Oracle 11g FMW using the Upgrade Assistant tool available in <ORACLE_HOME>/bin/ua.bat.
    As per my understanding of pre-requisites:
    1)     I need to install Oracle SOA Suite 10g on my VM.
    2)     I also need to install Oracle SOA Suite 11g on my VM.
    3)     I need to install Oracle Forms/Reports Services 10g on my Oracle SOA Suite 10g installation.
    4)     I need to run Oracle Forms/reports installer on my Oracle SOA Suite 11g installation.
    5)     I need to run upgrade assistant tool on my VM to upgrade my form from source(Oracle SOA Suite 10g) to destination(Oracle SOA Suite 11g). Is it mandatory for this migration that I should have Oracle SOA Suite 10g and Oracle SOA Suite 11g on the same system ?
    Having all these software installed on one VM would be difficult. So just wanted to check can I avoid any software to install on VM ?
    If there is any alternative suggestion then please let me know.

    What do you want to do with the SOA-suite? At least for Froms10G is is not necessary.

    Honestly I wouldn't spend too much trying to upgrade your computer. It has an aging dual core Athlon processor, and only 2GB of RAM. Even with the highest top of the line card, with that CPU/RAM setup, your computer is probably going to struggle to run it.

    I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
    Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.
