Query using connectionpool impossible on oracle instance

Hi,
I have a question for a system that was to be released in production mode april
1st, 2003, but could not be because of this problem:
When connecting to a Oracle 8.1.7r3 DB using WL 6.1SP3, I have a problem using
connection pooling with both the oracle jdbc drivers as well as the oci drivers.
Switching of the connection pool makes the application work but that defies the
whole purpose of configuring connection pools.
1. start up of the runserver with connection pooling enables does NOT return any
errors
2. the query to be executed is correct and checked on multiple ways (including
sqlnet, jdbc, oci, all without transaction pooling)
3. the username/password used is correct and works but only if connection pooling
disabled, no typos were made
4. the user has been granted DBA rights and still the connection pooling does
not work.
5. the table accessed in the query executed is available and a public synonym
exists; the user has select rights on the table
6. the connection pool is assigned a JNDI datasource and lookup succeeds
7. obtaining a connection from the pool works.
8. executing of the query WITH connection pooling returns SQLException with error
message:

Is there possibly a certain (additional) install on Oracle required for the connection
pooling on WL6.1SP3 to run? We have the problem only on one DB instance. Do you
have any other suggestions for the issue? Is there a way to see all sql statements
use by the connections in the connection pool?

Hi Roger,
Could you please show us the 30-line program that does work?

Hello Joseph,
I have tried many things (wrote numerous tests) now, but the problem seemsto
occur only USING pooling with the weblogic OCI driver, or the weblogicoracle
thin driver.
Moving the data to another DB solved my problem; however I'm still curiousas
to what causes this behaviour.
The 30-line programme works fine, sqlplus works fine, TOAD works fine,weblogic
withour pooling works fine, weblogic with pooling fails.... sigh....
Kind regards,
Roger Stoffers

Furthermore, I managed to include an incorrect part of the log file;here's the
correct one. Does this tell you more? (In the weblogic.log file itis stated that
the connection was obtained)

Hi. Ok, this shows that you did successfully create a pool, which did
make connections,
and using it, you did get the same error. However, there is a bigquestion:
Why did
you also get that same exception with the Oracle driver directly? This
was shown with
the first stack trace you sent. Until we explain that first stacktrace,
it seems like an all-
oracle problem. Can you make a small 30-line standalone java program
that makes
a direct connection to the DBMS, using our driver and that user name
and password,
and runs that same query?
thanks,
Joe

Here is some big info above. You are getting this exception withoutusing
our
pooling at all. You are getting a direct JDBC connection to Oracle,using
Oracle's driver,
and suffering the problem.

Query using Materalized view in oracle 9i and 10g

Hello
There are snapshots (materialized view) used in my application. We have recently migrated from 9i to 10g release 2 database.
After migration i have observed explain plan of query which is using materialized view and i found in 9i oracle treating materalized view as table. In 10g oracle is considerting it as MVIEW only (MAT_VIEW ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID). However in 10g cost of query which is using materialized view is much higher than 9i. And execution time is also random.
Can anbody pls. expalin diff. of materalized view access in oracle 9i and 10g.
Thanks

can you post your query with explain plan for both 9i version and 10g version.
Thanks,
karthick.

Programmatically change the query used to generate Oracle Reports

I have two queries. Depending on some parameter value, I would like to use one of these queries to generate my report. Is it possible to programmatically change the SQL query used to generate the Oracle Report.
Thanks

There are two options:
- The easy way
In the report paper layout create two frames, one for each query , and at runtime
display only one based on your parameters. (using format triggers on the frames)
- the not so easy way (but more elegant)
create the query at runtime using xml customizations using the examples from
the following documentation:

Query using link server to an Oracle database failswhile similar query works

I have two queries almost the same that use a link to an Oracle database. One works ok, the other is a copy of the first with a few fields selects removed. The first one works fine, the copy fails with: Cannot get the data of the row from the OLE DB

They are so similar, why would one work but not the other?

Thanks very much for any help with this.

* Consider putting parentheses around the 3 oracle tables so the 3 of them can possibly be treated as a unit. Assuming there's some performance impact due to the linked server, this MIGHT help, may do a little joining over on the Oracle side of
the world. In either case, it's a little cleaner. They syntax below, including a few extra line breaks for clarity, should be correct. (try the change to the ON clause suggested above too, though).
The parentheses will not help much. SQL Server will remote (as the term is) the query to the Oracle instance if this appears to have a lower cost and there is nothing the blocks remoting.
On the other hand, OPENQUERY can be an alternative to ensure that this happens:
left outer join
OPENQUERY (linknametooracledb,
 'SELECT ...
FROM "M01Tab01_Main" mn
JOIN "M01Tab06_Ord" mt ON mn."Master_Recid_1" = mt."Master_Recid_1"
JOIN "M01Tab09_Dx" mdx on mn."Master_Recid_1" = mdx."Master_Recid_1"') mn on td.visitnumber = mn."Pt_Acct_5"
But this presumes that you there are no columns from the SQL Server side that are used to select data from the Oracle side. That is, the above could lead to far much data being brought across the wire.
Then again, this does not really seem to relate to the original problem where a stored procedure was not working at all. That problem is not very easy to assist with since code post is the not the authentic code as pointed out in the thread. For instance
inner JOIN linknametooracledb."M01Tab06_Ord"
Has nothing to do with Oracle, but accesses a table in the schema linknametooracledb.
I think to help dmcm, you need a really good crystal ball - at least as long he/she does not share the actual code.

Monitoring memory used by Oracle instance

Hi,
How can i check how much memory is being used and allocated by an Oracle instace? Is there any way to do?
Ashish

An Oracle instance is using SGA that is shared memory by all background processes and dedicated/shared server processes and PGA which is private memory used by each server process.
For SGA you can use following queries:
select * from v$sgastat
In 10G, you can also use:
select * from v$sgainfo;
For PGA, you can use following query:
select * from v$pgastat;

Linking Access tables, creating a query with using both Access and Oracle

Hello,
I am using 3.0.04.34 version Oracle Developer. I am supposed to create a script/procedure to use both Access tables and oracle tables together. There is an option in developer to copy the access tables into oracle. But it doesn't help me. Because when we updated the access tables
the copied ones are not be updated. How can I created a linked access tables to oracle and create a query with using both access and oracle table together.
I will appreciate if you guys help me. I look forward to hearing from you guys.
Thanks,
Pinar

Pinar,
to be able to query MS Access tables in Oracle you need an additional product, the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC. It allows you to link any foreign database into an Oracle database using a suitable ODBC driver. You can then access the MS Access tables through a database link based on the Database Gateway for ODBC. This will also allow you to join local Oracle and remote MS Access tables from your Oracle database.
There's a note on My Oracle Support which gives you more details:Document 233876.1 Options for Connecting to Foreign Data Stores and Non-Oracle Databases - For example - DB2, SQL*Server, Sybase, Informix, Teradata, MySQL
And there's also a dedicated Forum: Heterogeneous Connectivity

Establish SSL connection to Oracle Instance w/JDBC Thin Client

Hello all,
I am writing a monitoring utility that will allow me to establish connections to both Oracle instances and LDAP repositories and query them to determine that they are up and running. My utility consists of a number of objects that handle connections to the LDAP and Oracle instances. I need to be able to do SSL and non-SSL connections to said instances.
My issue is this: I am able to do SSL and non-SSL to LDAP, and non-SSL to an Oracle instance. I am having problems, though, establishing an SSL connection to an Oracle instance (I am using the thin client). Whenever I try, a SQLException is thrown that states: "Encountered a problem with the secret store. Check the wallet location for the presense of an open wallet (cwallet.sso) and ensure that the wallet contains the correct credentials..."
Ok, a little background for those who may need it. Oracle uses a wallet to hold certs that allow SSL connections. I have a wallet on my box, and, from the command line, I am able to sqlplus into and tnsping the appropriate Oracle instances, so I know it is setup properly. The inability to connect only occurs in my code. My code looks like this:
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Security.addProvider(new oracle.security.pki.OraclePKIProvider());
/*Setup connection properties*/
String connectionString = "testbox01:1000:ssl_instances_name";
String userName = "userName";
String pwd = "password";
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("oracle.net.ssl_version", 3.0");
props.put("oracle.net.wallet_location", "SOURCE=(METHOD=file)(METHOD_DATA=(DIRECTORY=c:\\wallet)))");
props.put("oracle.net.ssl_cipher_suites", "ssl cipher suites");
props.put("oracle.net.ssl_server_dn_match", "FALSE");
props.put("oracle.net.ssl_client_authentication", "true");
/*Do connection and return connection object
OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
ods.setUser(userName);
ods.setPassword(pwd);
ods.setUrl("jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + connectionString);
ods.setConnectionProperties(props);
Connection conn = ods.getConnection(); <---This is where code errors out with SQLException described above.
return conn;
And that's pretty much it. Anyone have any ideas?

Need SQL query using View - Please help

Hi,
I have similar requirement like below.
I have two tables DEPT and EMP and some departments may not have employees. I have created below view, which displays all DEPT records, even though there are no emplyees.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW dept_emp_vw AS
SELECT deptno, empid, 0 AS selected
FROM dept d, emp e
WHERE d.deptno = e.deptnno (+);
Ex.
DEPTNO EMPID SELECTED
10 101 0
10 102 0
20 103 0
30 103 0
40 104 0
50 <null> 0
Application will pass "empid" to the view (for ex. empid = 103) and I want result like below.
Ex.
DEPTNO EMPID SELECTED
10 101 0
10 102 0
20 103 1
30 103 1
40 104 0
50 <null> 0
Can you please let me know the query using "dept_emp_vw" view. We have Oracle 11g Release 2.
Thanks a lot for the help.

Not possible using normal SQL - as SQL is not a procedure language and does not support variable declaration and use (e.g. passing empid as a variable and using it both as a predicate and as a condition in the SQL projection).
That said - SQL can be "+parameterised+". An approach that is ugly and contrary to the basic design and use of SQL. But it can support the (very weird) view definition of yours.
E.g.
SQL> create or replace procedure SetVariable( name varchar2, value varchar2 ) is
2 begin
3 DBMS_SESSION.set_context( 'MyVariables', name, value );
4 end;
5 /
Procedure created.
SQL>
SQL>
SQL> create or replace context MyVariables using SetVariable;
Context created.
SQL>
SQL> create or replace view my_funky_weird_view as
2 select
3 e.empno,
4 e.ename,
5 e.job,
6 case e.empno
7 when to_number(sys_context( 'MyVariables', 'empid' )) then
8 0
9 else
10 1
11 end as "SELECTED"
12 from emp e
13 /
View created.
SQL>
SQL> exec SetVariable( 'empid', 7499 )
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL>
SQL> select * from session_context where namespace = 'MYVARIABLES';
NAMESPACE ATTRIBUTE VALUE
MYVARIABLES EMPID 7499
SQL>
SQL> select * from my_funky_weird_view order by selected;
 EMPNO ENAME JOB SELECTED

SQL>But I will N\OT recommend doing it this way. It is not natural SQL as PL/SQL is needed to "+inject+" name-value pairs into the context for the SQL view to use. It is ugly. It is not standard. It cannot scale. It is complex to use. Etc.
Yes, there are instances when this approach is exactly what one needs - when for example dealing with a trusted context and using the contents for implementing a security layer. But in the above case - I would rather want to see the actual business requirement first, as I think you're barking up the wrong tree with the view solution you have imagined.

Why isn't my query using the index?

I have a query that inserts values for engines in a grid; it uses a static date table to determine the day in week, or
week in year (depending on different standards, the DBA can configure this table to their business's likings). I have
two indexes on this table:
create table d_date (
     date_key number(5) not null,
     sql_calendar_date timestamp(3) null,
     year_id number(5) null,
     month_id number(3) null,
     day_id number(3) null,
     year_end_biz_date timestamp(3) null,
     qtr_end_biz_date timestamp(3) null,
     month_end_biz_date timestamp(3) null,
     week_end_biz_date timestamp(3) null,
     quarter_id number(3) null,
     week_id number(3) null,
     day_in_year number(5) null,
     day_in_month number(3) null,
     day_in_week number(3) null,
     month_name char(3) null,
     day_in_week_name char(3) null,
     month_type_code char(1) null,
     week_type_code char(1) null,
     date_type_code char(1) null,
     weekend_flag char(1) null,
     holiday_flag char(1) null,
     from_datetime timestamp(3) null,
     to_datetime timestamp(3) null,
     current_flag char(1) null,
     constraint d_date_pkey primary key (date_key)
     ) tablespace dim;
create index d_date_dy on d_date(year_id, day_in_year) tablespace_dim_idx;
create index d_date_ww on d_date(year_id, week_id) tablespace_dim_idx;Now, when I run a query to insert the week id into a table based on two values, the year_key and day_in_year_key,
it should use the d_date_dy index correct?
Here is what the query looks like:
INSERT INTO F_ENGINE (YEAR_KEY,MONTH_KEY,WEEK_IN_YEAR_KEY,DAY_IN_YEAR_KEY,DAY_IN_MONTH_KEY,HOUR_IN_DAY_KEY, Q_HOUR_IN_DAY_KEY,
GRID_KEY,ENGINE_KEY,TIME_STAMP,ENGINE_CPU_UTIL,ENGINE_CPU_GRID_UTIL,MEMORY_TOTAL_BYTE, MEMORY_FREE_BYTE,DISK_FREE_MEGABYTE,
PROCESS_COUNT,ENGINE_ID,GRID_ID,GRID_NAME,BATCH_ID,RECORD_VIEWABLE_F)
SELECT EXTRACT(YEAR FROM START_DATETIME),EXTRACT(MONTH FROM START_DATETIME), DD.WEEK_ID,
TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(START_DATETIME, 'DDD')), EXTRACT(DAY FROM START_DATETIME),EXTRACT(HOUR FROM START_DATETIME),
FLOOR(EXTRACT(MINUTE FROM START_DATETIME)/15)*15,DG.GRID_KEY,DE.ENGINE_KEY, START_DATETIME,CPU_UTIL,DS_CPU,MEMORY,
FREE_MEMORY,FREE_DISK,PROCESSES,ID,PE.GRID,DG.GRID_NAME,:B1 ,1
FROM P_ENGINE PE, D_GRID DG, D_ENGINE DE, D_DATE DD
WHERE PE.GRID = DG.GRID_ID AND DG.CURRENT_FLAG = 'Y' AND PE.ID = DE.ENGINE_ID AND DE.GRID_KEY = DG.GRID_KEY AND
DE.CURRENT_FLAG = 'Y' AND PE.BATCH_ID = :B1 AND DD.YEAR_ID = EXTRACT(YEAR FROM START_DATETIME) AND
DD.DAY_IN_YEAR = TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(START_DATETIME,'DDD'))
ORDER BY EXTRACT(YEAR FROM START_DATETIME),EXTRACT(MONTH FROM START_DATETIME),
EXTRACT(DAY FROM START_DATETIME),EXTRACT(HOUR FROM START_DATETIME),FLOOR(EXTRACT(MINUTE FROM START_DATETIME)/15)*15,
DG.GRID_KEY,DE.ENGINE_KEY
Here is the explain plan:
Operation Object Object Type Order Rows Size (KB) Cost Time (sec) CPU Cost I/O Cost
INSERT STATEMENT
SORT ORDER BY
     HASH JOIN
       HASH JOIN
         HASH JOIN
          TABLE ACCESS FULL D_GRID TABLE 1 2 0.316 3 1 36887 3
          TABLE ACCESS FULL D_ENGINE TABLE 2 10 0.410 3 1 42607 3
         PARTITION LIST SINGLE   5 1434 344.496 9 1 2176890 9
          TABLE ACCESS FULL P_ENGINE TABLE 4 1434 344.496 9 1 2176890 9
            TABLE ACCESS FULL D_DATE TABLE 7 7445 283.550 19 1 3274515 18Now it is obviously not using the index for the d_date table since it is doing a full table access.
Does this have something to do with the fact that I am using extract(), to_number(), to_char() functions in my WHERE clause that it is not allowing the use of the index?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It's difficult to tell just from this. For one thing, you didn't post your query using the forum format tags, so it's hard to read and you didn't post your Oracle version.
In the query, you don't always prefix columns with the table alias. That makes it impossible for us (and maintainers of this code) to know at a glance which table a column is in.
It's possible that performing functions on a column will disable the index. Do your other tables have indexes? Do you have updated statistics on all the tables?
The main reason the optimizer will not use an index is because it thinks it cheaper not to.

Oracle Instanc has too many tables, way to subset?

Hello, When i try to bring up an Oracle instance and do a query, thereare so many tables that it takes 10 minutes for H. to bring up thelist of tables. Is there a way to subset by Owner like TOAD does, so that i'mnot trying to bit off the whole thing at once? Thanks very much! BobK

Thanks for the idea. I use the filters all of the time to find tables of interest. Like if I'm looking for tables with product info, I'll put "%prod%", or something like that. But as you suggest, I guess there's no reason why I couldn't key in every one of my 100+ tables of interest so I don't see 300+ tables that are empty and unused.
One thing that worries me is that I would make this huge investment in time (keying into the filter) and I'd hit "clear filter" by accident one day.
I think I'll write a macro in AutoIt and enter the interesting tables in the filter using the (reusable) macro. Thanks again.

Oracle instance crashing when enabling use_indirect_data_buffers=true

I have a Windows 2003 EE server (32bit) with 16GB of ram hosting a 10.2.0.2 Oracle server which is used to support a commercial software package (arcsight). I'm trying to get the Oracle backend to leverage the available system memory. I've read 50-60 different articles and posts regarding AWE and Oracle. I have successfully tuned the userva parameter in order to get the server to boot stable with the /3gb boot parameter. I've gotten to the point that the oracle instance will start up, but within about 30-60 seconds the instance will crash. Below is the information I believe that is relevant:

I appreciate any input on what to look at to further isolate this issue. I'd run into many other issues along the way (setting AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY to a proper size, setting db_block_buffers to a proper value, etc) that various forum searches helped resolve but I've not been able to find anything related to the errors I'm getting now. If I set use_indirect_data_buffers=false and tune back the db_block_buffers, the instance starts without any problems. Its just when I try and enable the use of AWE that I'm having a problem.

Just wanted to close out this tread in case anyone else runs into a similar problem. Turns out we ran into a bug documented in the below linked article (we're using AMD processors). Essentially needed to disable NUMA.
http://blog.csdn.net/orapeasant/archive/2007/06/05/1639532.aspx
excerpt ....
But please be aware of Bug 4494543 - affecting 10g and fixed in Oracle 11.0 ......
ORA-7445: CORE DUMP [ACCESS_VIOLATION] WITH USE_INDIRECT_DATA_BUFFERS=TRUE
Rediscovery Information:
1) Using 32-Bit Oracle on a 32-Bit Windows 2003 server running on an AMD Opteron 64-Bit chip.
2) You have set use_indirect_data_buffers=true in init.ora
Workaround: Basically disable NUMA feature on 32-Bit platform :-
1) Set ENABLENUMA = FALSE in Windows registry for the Oracle Home.
2) Set enableNUMA_optimizations = FALSE (init.ora)
Thanks for the help. We'll see if access to the extra memory will be useful or not .....

Unable to create new query using query manager

Hi friends,
I have been trying to create a query using query manager for couple of hours but still not able to.I am following the instructions given in oracle Peopletools 8.52 : Peoplesoft query
Chapter - creating new queries.
Below are the steps I am going through to create new query:
Step - I open the component Reporting Tools-> Query->Query Manager , I don't get the tabbed pages one for search an existing query and another for create new query.
Please follow this link to see how the page is displayed in first step:
http://uploadpic.org/v.php?img=EvMvVAXX1E
Step 2 - When I click on create new query link, I am redirected to a page where it asks for record name to add in the query. But, even this page is not displayed as how it supposed to be
http://uploadpic.org/v.php?img=GzHh3f6krU
Step 3 - Following the above step, when I click on Person record to add into my query I am asked to select the fields that I want to display in the output.
But I somehow do not get the proper tabbed pages where individual pages are there to add the attributes to complete the query like adding multiple records, fields, query, expressions, prompt...etc
http://uploadpic.org/v.php?img=Wbbla3Q3jE
I am neither able to select multiple records in my query nor able to customize my query to get the desired results.
Below is the query that I want to create using query manager:
SELECT P.EMPLID,P.BIRTHDATE, N.NAME, A.ADDRESS1, A.ADDRESS2, A.CITY
FROM PS_PERSON P, PS_NAMES N, PS_ADDRESSES A
WHERE P.EMPLID = N.EMPLID AND
N.EMPLID = A.EMPLID AND
P.BIRTHDATE BETWEEN to_date('1990/1/1','yyyy/mm/dd') and to_date('1991/1/1','yyyy/mm/dd');

Hi,
As I cannot access your screenshot by the blocking of company firewall rules.
I'm guessing currently you are using PT 8.52.00 version, correct?
This should be a bug, that you need to apply the 8.52.0X patch, not sure which patch fix this, you can apply the latest one to solve this issue for no tab page of query manager. (PT 8.52.06)
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Saxon SI
