Random zeros in database journal files.
Hello All,
I am running with the SUSE 11 on Netra machine(X4270).
I am seeing periodically generated journal files getting corrupted i.e random zeros are present in the journal files. This corruption is happening after 6th journal file is created, so this is the pattern.
There are no changes from software or hardware point, i started seeing journal files getting corrupted with zeros all of a sudden.
Any inputs for this issue will be a great help

Is this SLES or OES?
What service pack and patches have been installed?
Which file system are you using?

Can someone explain to me please what a journal file is and what it's for?
I was copying some files round the other evening and came across a Lightroom 2 and a Lightroom 3 journal file. They appear to have been in existance for some time, I've just never been aware of them. they aren't causing me any kind of problem and everything is working just fine, I just wondered what they are for.
Regards
PhilPhil, they appear alongside the lrcat file with a .lock file while Lightroom is in use. The journal file ought not be removed as it contains vital infrmation not yet written to the catalog while in use. Although if there are old ones left behind after crashes, etc ther would be no harm in removing those with Lightroom closed.
The lock file prevents others accessing the database while it is in use and possibly corrupting it. -
Reading a Random Line from a Text File
Hello,
I have a program that reads from a text file words. I currently have a text file around 800KB of words. The problem is, if I try to load this into an arraylist so I can use it in my application, it takes wayy long to load. I was wondering if there was a way to just read a random line from the text file.
Here is my code, and the text file that the program reads from is called 'wordFile'

}I thought that maybe serializing the ArrayList might be faster than creating the ArrayList by iterating over each line in the text file. But alas, I was wrong. Here's my code anyway:
class WordList extends ArrayList<String>{
long updated;
WordList readWordList(File file) throws Exception{
WordList list = new WordList();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
String line = null;
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null){
list.add(line);
in.close();
list.updated = file.lastModified();
return list;
WordList wordList;
File datFile = new File("words.dat");
File txtFile = new File("input.txt");
if (datFile.exists()){
ObjectInputStream input = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream(datFile));
wordList = (WordList)input.readObject();
if (wordList.updated < txtFile.lastModified()){
//if the text file has been updated, re-read it
wordList = readWordList(txtFile);
ObjectOutputStream output = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(datFile));
output.writeObject(wordList);
output.close();
} else {
//serialized list does not exist--create it
wordList = readWordList(txtFile);
ObjectOutputStream output = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(datFile));
output.writeObject(wordList);
output.close();
}The text file contained one random sequence of letters per line. For example:

nhpgaucah
zfbylzt
hwnc

How can i get the random values from database?
Hi,
i want to get random values from database.
I try my best find no solution
plz give solution in either sql query or java method.
thanks in advance.try this:
Give a numeric row-id to each row of database.
say (1-100) for 100 rows
In the program use random function to get random number between 0 and 1. this value u multiply with 100(or total number of rows) and take integer value of it . u then perform sql query to select the a row which matches randomly genarated value with row-id assigned to each row of database

A RandomAccessFile has nothing to do with getting a (pseudo) random line number from a file.
You should also split things up in separate methods:
- a method for counting the number of lines in a file;
- a method to get the N-th line from a file.
In your main method, you call the method which counts the number of lines N in a file and then generate a (pseudo) random number between 1 and N. Use the java.util.Random class for this.
When you have generated that number, call the other method to get that specific line number.
Here's a small start:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Main {
public static String getLineNumber(int number) throws FileNotFoundException {
// your code here
public static int countLines(String fileName) throws FileNotFoundException {
// your code here
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
int numberLines = countLines("word.txt");
Random generator = new Random();
int randomNumber = generator.nextInt(numberLines)+1;
String randomLine = getLineNumber(randomNumber);
System.out.println("Line "+randomNumber+" = '"+randomLine+"'");
}In both methods, you can use the java.util.Scanner class to read lines from the file.
Have a look at the API docs of the Scanner class:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Scanner.html (including code samples!)
Good luck. -
Job output is no longer available in the database control file

Acrobat 3D and Tablet-PC journal file
I have a Tablet-PC (Toshiba M205-S810) and the Journal program, pen based, creates *.jnt files. I just tried printing a PDF from a *.jnt (journal) file, and the PDF is full of "giberish", ASII characters all over the page.
I can print a PDF from Journal using "Jaws PDF Creator" with no problem, so I had to re-install the program so I can continue to work.
Any reason why I can't print a PDF from a *.jnt (journal) file using Acrobat? Any settings that I have to do on Acrobat?
Thanks for any help on this subject.
ErichHi Erich,
Please re-post your question on the Windows Acrobat User-to-User forum. I think you'll get a much quicker answer to your question there. This forum deals specifically with 3D related issues. Even though you have the Acrobat 3D application, the behavior you're describing will probably get much more attention in the other forum. -
Output is no longer available in the database control file
Hi All
in Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1.0) - on suse Linux 9, OEM (10.2.0.1.0); I'm getting when I try to look at RMAN reports that databases reports are "Job output is no longer available in the database control file." - one one database.
I've searched forum and only found one thread
(25/9/2007 - Re: rman backups )
that doesn't have any conclusion to the problem. Has anyone seen this problem before, and do you know if it means there is a problem with the control file?
Thanks, DWLooks like Bug 4659734
I totally agree with what you say grylew "If you use rman catalogue you shouldn't get this error"; for me, on a Suse 9 Linux server (10.2.0.1.0 db), the error eventually found was ORA-19921 ;
RMAN-06900: WARNING: unable to generate V$RMAN_STATUS or V$RMAN_OUTPUT row
RMAN-06901: WARNING: disabling update of the V$RMAN_STATUS and V$RMAN_OUTPUT rows
ORACLE error from target database:
ORA-19921: maximum number of 64 rows exceeded
Which turns out to say it is a bug fixable by only 10.2.0.4.0 patch or 11g. So awaiting 10.2.0.4.0 I guess.
It all seems to be error assocaited with control file space; and I'f rather keep my control files healthy thanks.
Besides all this; for me the problem is pretty innocuous; it means OEM mis-reports success of archivelog backups; I can see they're successful in 'job's but not in 'backup reports'.
Thanks all for help, DW -
How to separate datafiles from database software files on different disks
Hi,
i had 6 drives which i configured as RAID and now i have three RAID 1 logical volumes as LV0, LV1, LV2
i used LV0 for installing LINUX enterprise version 4 operating system.
now i want to install the oracle software and database 10.2.0
i want to install the oracle software on LV0 along with OS files
oracle database datafiles in LV1 and
oracle database index files in LV2.
how can i separate the files in different locations while installing oracle software and database files.
Can someone help me please.

Alter Database Remove File : Partition Files on different folders
I need to remove partition files, once I switch the partition with staging table and empty/truncate the partition.
When I was running the code on my local machine I was passing variable @partition_file_name to following statement:
Declare @partition_file_name varchar(128)='table_abc_201202',
@database_name varchar(128)='test'
Alter Database @database_name Remove File @partition_file_name
Note @partition_file_name is the logical name of the partition file.
I found out partitions are saved in different folders in my Dev env...They are stored in 12 different folders which are named like 1-12.
E.g:
C:\DATA\2\table_abc_201202.ndf
C:\DATA\3\table_abc_201203.ndf
C:\DATA\4\table_abc_201204.ndf
C:\DATA\5\table_abc_201205.ndf
C:\DATA\2\table_abc_201302.ndf
C:\DATA\3\table_abc_201303.ndf
C:\DATA\4\table_abc_201304.ndf
C:\DATA\5\table_abc_201305.ndf
I am wondering , is SQL server with Alter statement is capable of getting the right path for each partition files and remove them accordingly? Or do I need to pass the physical path to the alter statement to get it removed. Though I tried doing that and
got the error.
ZKI am wondering , is SQL server with Alter statement is capable of getting the right path for each partition files and remove them accordingly? Or do I need to pass the physical path to the alter statement to get it removed. Though I tried doing that and
got the error.
Yes, SQL Server knows which physical file goes with which logical filename. (To see that SQL does know this, do a SELECT * FROM sys.sysfiles - you'll see SQL has a row for every logical filename and that row has the corresponding physical file name.)
And when you do the ALTER DATABASE REMOVE FILE, you must specify the logical filename. You will get an error if you give the physical path.

Restoring an ms access database backup file in sql server 2005
Hello everyone.
I have an ms access database backup file.
Presently i dont have ms access database in my system.
It is high priority to access that ms access database backup file.
So, is there anyway to access that in sql server?
-- Thanks and Regards Srikar Reddy Gondesi, Trainee SQL Server Database Administrator Miracle Software systems, Inc.Hello sir,
i tried to use import/export wizard to import data from an ms access backup file.
I completed it with some warning's.
Wizard has shown that 2 out of three objects(tables and views) are copied to destination database(empty database which i have created for storing this imported data).
And in that process, wizard made me to create a package.
Now how to access that package?
And my newly created database has no data.(i mean it is supposed to have 2 objects which are copied from source right?)
Sorry if my doubt looks silly i have never used ssis or import/export ever before.

[SOLVED]File journal: what's the recomended journal file size??
After checking the journaling file

Journals take up 679.5M on disk
I have found that i have 680M of journal files, it's a good idea to limit these files to a smaller amount???
I'm using an 120GB ssd. I was thinking limit those to 50M.
