SQL*Plus auto accept CANCEL during recovery

I am scripting out to do an incomplete recovery with a backup controlfile.
How do I get SQL*Plus to automatically accept "CANCEL"
when I get to this point: Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}
and then move on to "alter database open resetlogs"
SQL> recover database until cancel;
ORA-00279: change 794271 generated at 12/22/2006 12:09:07 needed for thread 1
ORA-00289: suggestion :

ORA-00280: change 794271 for thread 1 is in sequence #4
Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}
CANCEL
Media recovery cancelled.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;

You can't - that's the whole point behind incomplete media recovery - how does sqlplus know when you want to cancel

Auto Accept changes during sync

To Desktop Manager product manager & developers,
Is their any plan to allow for an option to automatically accept changes during a desktop organizer syncronization? I am using version 4.7 with Outlook and was hoping to have this kind of option and not need to answer the "accept changes" prompts.
thanks in advance...vsdotnetguy

In blackberry desktop manager v5.0.1, with Outlook 2007, you can enable auto-accept changes.
Go into BB DM > Synchronize > (from left menu) configure-Synchronization > push Synchronization button on right. This will bring up Intellisync - Setup. Click advanced button > Confirmations, uncheck Confirm record deletions, uncheck confirm changes and additions

Sql plus not accepting user id and password as scott, tiger resp

Hi, this is mihir shah
I have just installed oracle9i
And I have a problem in opening the sql plus. It asks for user id and pass but when entered scott, tiger it always gives a tns error.
Could you tell me how to make a database & how to log on & how to make a new user id and password

It seem that you have problem with network connectivity to you database.
Check the listener status and the configuration of the files: tnsnames.ora & listener.ora
In all cases you must specified the error.

SQL Script in XE Cancels during Execution without returning any error(s)

Hi all;
I'm running a SQL script with a drop table and create table statement along with several hundred insert statements to load data into this table in a Oracle 10g XE database. There's a total of 213 SQL command lines in the script. (1 Drop Tbl/1 Create Tbl/211 Insert(s)).
I run the script within the Script Editor in the Oracle XE web interface and it processes 45 of 213 of the SQL commands in the script successfully(1 Drop Tbl/1 Create Tbl/43 Insert(s)). Then the Manage Script Results screen shows a status of "Canceled". It doesn't even attempt to insert the other rows and spit back any error messages. I tried debugging by checking the consistency of the insert statements at the break point and couldn't find any discrepancy. The script just stops executing and shows this cancelled status? Can anyone help me figure out why all the lines of this script aren't being executed? I'd appreciate it a lot!
Thanks.

The last select statement above results in continuous spitting out of column headings with no data. I've truncated it here to save space. When I go through the Oracle Database XE web front end I see that the table was created; however it says "This table has no data". So still no luck. Hope you can help. Thanks.

Accepting User input in SQL*Plus

I am writing a SQL script in SQL*Plus that accepts a value from the user and plugs that value into a variable that exist in several locations outside of the PL/SQL block.
I am able to do this, yet everytime this variable is encountered, the user is prompted for input. I would like to have the user prompted only once at the beginning and then use that value throughout. This seems like a simple task, yet I cannot get it to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can use &&<variable_name> and it will define the variable and use it throughout the SQL code.

ASM Auto Start vs SQL*Plus Contention Issue

We are trying to install the single server instance of ASM with the Grid Infrastructure and DB 11gR2. We have specified auto start on the oracleasm configuration.
OS = Linux 5.
After a reboot. the ASM processes show up when I run "ps -ef|grep asm". When I log into SQL*Plus it says it's connected to an idle instance. However, when I issue the startup command it responds with "ORA-15149: another ASM instance found running on the host".
My ORACLE_SID = +ASM and my ORACLE_HOME is set to the directory where grid is installed. These are the values that I specified during the Universal Installer session.
Can someone help me make sense of this?
Thanks,
Gregory

Thanks for your replies.
It turns out that the problem had to do with how I specified the grid ORACLE_HOME. I still don't understand why it should make a difference, but...
I am in the habit of typing a few characters of a directory or file name and hitting tab to have the system fill in the rest of the name. As the system finishes a name it appends a slash. So, I would end up with something like
export ORACLE_HOME=/LIB_ORACLE/11.2.0/grid/That trailing slash was screwing things up. If I entered all of that without the trailing slash, my sqlplus connected just fine.
Thanks again,
Gregory

How to cancel a search in SQL*Plus

Once a search is initiated in SQL*Plus Worksheet, how can you stop it? I am on Windows NT. The normal Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Break, Esc don't work. I found an obscure reference in the SQL*Plus documentation about a cancel function, but it didn't give the keystrokes.

I actually managed to crash an 8.0.5 database by hitting Ctrl-C in the middle of a query.
Oracle Support advised me that this was a known bug. The solution?
Don't hit Ctrl-C in the middle of a query!

Cancel runnning SQL in SQL*Plus Worksheet?

Hi,
can I Cancel a runnning SQL in SQL*Plus Worksheet?
Thanks
Markus

Probably not in current versions.
SQL*Plus Worksheet is just a Java wrapper around
command-line SQL*Plus. I recall the EM team were keen
to see a cancelling feature in 10g, which is one of the
reasons EM 10g will call iSQL*Plus.
The iSQL*Plus web interface has had cancel for a few versions
already. It has a button specially for that.
(For reference, the EM forum is at Enterprise Manager

any Idea?

Your "accept" statement seems to be correct.
Please change the declaration of v_hd1 and v_hd2 as below.
v_hd1 employees.hire_date%TYPE := TO_DATE('&p_hire_date1','DD-MON-YYYY');
v_hd2 employees.hire_date%TYPE := TO_DATE('&p_hire_date2','DD-MON-YYYY');
Since p_hire_date1 and p_hire_date2 are date variables enter a valid date of format DD-MON-YYYY. You have entered 23 which is not a valid date.

SQL*Plus report: hide accept value in report

HI all,
I have created an SQL Report of an APEX-Application. The output is stored in a HTML file.
All works fine but one think I want to hide in the HTML report.
I try to describe what the problem is.
I prompt the user to put in the application_id of the apex application:
                       accept v_application_Id char prompt 'Appliaction-ID:'
In the HTML file the following output is shown:

Hi, Ben,
The SQL*Plus command to stop those messages is
SET VERIFY OFF
Put this command anywhere before the first use of a substitution variable, e.g. before the SPOOL command.
Those "OLD" and "NEW" messages will stay suppressed until you either end the SQL*Plus session, or issue a SET VERIFY ON command.
If you use SQL*Plus often, then, when you have a few minutes, look up the SET command in the SQL*Plus manual,
SET System Variable Summary
and read a little about each option. You probably won't remember everything, but you probably will remember what kinds of things can be controlled by the SET command, and have a better idea of where to start looking in the future when you have a different problem.

Recover Database in RMAN vs SQL*PLUS

Hello,
Oracle 11.2.0.1, Oracle Linux 5.5 UEK.
I recently did a "recover database" in sql*plus, but an attempt to open the database gave ORA-01113, complaining the system tablespace requried more recovery. Then I used RMAN (nocatalog) and after the same "recover database" command I was able to open the database.
It seems there are differences between SQL*PLUS and RMAN "recover database" command. I have not been able to locate the chapter in the Oracle documentation that explains the difference. I have some ideas, but...
Thanks.
h3. Solution Summary:
The recover command in RMAN compared to SQL*Plus implements a more user friendly processing logic based on the current detected scenario. For instance, a RMAN recover database command may actually perform a "recover database using backup controlfile until cancel" and automatically apply all archived and online redo logs if available. The same can be achieved with the recover command in SQL*plus, but will have to be done manually.
Edited by: Dude on Jan 7, 2011 12:30 PM

Dude wrote:
I did not remove any datafiles or redo logs. it is the same restore operation as before, and again RMAN "recovery database" succeeds, whereas SQL recover has trouble. This tells me something is different between the two methods. For one, RMAN does not requrie to specify "using backup controlfile".
Maybe someting about "resetlogs" that that RMAN recover can handle and SQL recover not?No,problem is there.If you using rman execute RECOVER DATABASE it also will apply online logs(if available) also and as result you will get complete recovery however you must open database with resetlogs option due to you recovered database using backup controlfile.So also you can recover and open database applying this online logs.After executing RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE you have to pass full path of online log then press ENTER so log will apply and you can open database with RESETLOGS.See below

Cancel based recovery

dear dba's,
i'm using oracle 11gR2 in windows 2003 sever S2.
could anyone tell me
1. what is CANCEL BASED RECOVERY
2. pls give the commands with an explanation
3. In which suituation we must use this type of recovery.
Thanks & Regards,
John Marshal.A

+1. what is CANCEL BASED RECOVERY+
It is an incomplete recovery option , at particular time you want to recover yours database for an audit purpose or to avoid any logical error by users in past , but flashback technology now been dominant to cancel based reocovery.
+2. pls give the commands with an explanation+
+3. In which suituation we must use this type of recovery.+
When yours controlfile does not know when so far yours recover could be go on and on by "recover database using backup controlfile until cancel" yours restored controlfile from backup typically does not know how far i need redo if you are doing manual recovery while RMAN does not need cancel based recovery it will keep applying log until it finds and bumped out with an error RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown archived log for ..... .
Situation could be manual recovery in general when you do not define time.scn based recovery using until clause.
Copied from my blog but need to be a bit changes thats why pasting here.
Scenario 1
I lost all data file but my control file is intact at the same location where it was , before lost datafiles i have backed up the data files, controlfile and archive logs.
If you are just restoring the data files and not control files then you may know how much archive log sequence required for yours recovery after the backup taken using archived log repository.

as you can see that 2,3,4 were required during recovery process.Scenario 2
I lost all data file as well control file , i have backed up the data files, controlfile and archive logs.
Its like a disastre you lost alls data file and as well controlfile , if you backed the controlfile then remember during controlfile backup it will have file type flag 4 that tells Oracle it is a backup control file. The Stop SCN for alls data file marked to 0xffff.ffffffff (infinity).File type flag in the backup control file tells to oracle that it cannot rely on its redo thread,which means recovering will go on and on , controlfile will not aware how much should i go for redo it will never stop if you are able to supply redo.
It will always ask you more subsequent redo if you already supplied to it during process that's why it let you open the database in reset logs.
Lets see after restoring the controlfile and datafiles , you will see SQL tool recovery mechanism ask you recover database using backup controlfile which shows that controlfile does not know where to end the applying redo chain.
Here an excerpt which shows that restored controlfile does not know till how long the redo should be applied, its the RMAN robustness which does not ask you manually to supply redo, RMAN search the alls redo from archivelogs and if possible you have redo within redo logs.But if you are not with RMAN i.e recovering by SQL then you have to cancel recovery at some end.

NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - ProductionOS is AIX 5.3 for Oracle 10 and AIX 6.1 for Oracle 11.
We are currently in the process of migrating some applications from Oracle 10 to 11. Our admins have setup a new development system for us with an Oracle 11 instance. Regarding performance the new system behaves more or less the same than our old, e.g. when executing SQLs we notice hardly any performance differences and those we find are slightly in favour of the new system.
But now we discovered that the time it takes to establish a database connection via SQL*Plus is longer on the Oracle 11 system. Running the following code
sqlplus -s user/pw@database <<END
quit
ENDa thousand times takes ~60s under Oracle 10 but ~140s under Oracle 11. This may not seem much but we are running a test framework consisting of a bunch of shell scripts where several thousand connections are openend via SQL*Plus to execute some SQLs, so that even this small time difference results in rather huge difference in total runtime. The SQLs themself require roughly the same time in both databases, as already mentioned above they are in fact slightly faster in Oracle 11.
To analyze the time difference I ran a trace for the connect with the following parameters in sqlnet.ora
TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT=4
TRACE_UNIQUE_CLIENT=ONand found out that there is a time difference of about 70ms during the connect handshake:

(1) [22-MAR-2013 13:33:40:618] nscon: got NSPTRS packetAny ideas what could be the reason for this time difference? Something in our network configuration or something else?

With local connections - I do not think a TCP packet send from an IP to the same IP, leaves the interface as an actual wire protocol/signal. If I'm correct, then running local connection tests will be mostly useless in checking the actual network infrastructure.
Tests 3 and 4 should be showing the same connection times as the same physical network infrastructure is used - only the direction is reversed in the tests.
I would assume that port settings on the switches and interface settings on the routers treat packets equally in both directions between 2 servers. But this could in part explain the problem if this is not the case. In a case of a router for example, the 1st test's ingress interface is the egress interface of the 2nd test (and vice versa). Configurations can differ substantially between interfaces on the same router. Likewise if there is a firewall - as different rule sets are applied in each test and these rule sets could differ.
So I would not be too quick to state that this is definitely not a network problem. But I agree that based on the small percentage difference (assuming comparable tests), it does not look like a network issue.
The next step is to determine what the delay is between the listener accepting the client connection, and the connection being serviced by a dedicated server process.
This will require listener tracing - tracing the time from when the listener accepted the connection (and parsed the TNS connection string), to handing off the connection to the dedicated server process.
As a comparison test, you can also test shared server connections. Dispatcher processes (of the db instance) register themselves with the listener. The shared server client hand off is thus done to an existing server process - no need for the Listener to make a kernel call to load and initialise an executable image.
Shared connections are typically faster than dedicated connections in this respect.
If there is a major time difference, then it means some kind of issue with the listener dealing with dedicated servers as oppose to dispatcher hand off's. As both connections would have had very similar network transit time - which means the connection time difference is related directly to dealing with a dedicated server connection request and hand off.
You can also substitute the oracle executable with a wrapper - and troubleshoot the actual dedicated server startup. I've only done this with Oracle XE 10.2 though and with local IPC connections. Unsure how robust this will be for testing purposes via TCP using 11g.

Interactive script in SQL*PLUS

Hi,
I am a student and we need to write a script to be executed in SQL*PLUS.
Script has to execute an insert statement but all values need to be provided during runtime and in the end there should be a question if you wan't to save data. When yes then commit when no then rollback.
Below is my code. Problem is that program asks for variables' values after beginning then it displays all dbms_output.put_line and then continue with pl/sql.
I want to for examle:
- display message 'provide date'
- covvert string date to date type
- when error then exit, when ok then continue
- provide other variables in the same way
- ask for saving.
My code:
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
set verify off
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'YYYY-MM-DD';
declare
do_save varchar2(240) ;
v_ename varchar2(50);
v_job varchar2(50);
v_sal number;
v_hiredate date;
v_tmp varchar(50);
begin
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Provide name:');
v_tmp := '&val_ename';
v_ename := v_tmp;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Provide salary:');
v_tmp := '&val_sal';
begin
v_sal := cast(v_tmp as number);
exception when others then
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Incorrect salary format.');
end;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Provide data:');
v_tmp := '&val_hiredate';
begin
v_hiredate := to_date(v_tmp);
exception when others then
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Incorrect date format.');
end;
INSERT INTO EMP(ENAME, SAL, HIREDATE)
VALUES (v_ename, v_sal, v_hiredate);
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Do you want to save? [Y/N]');
do_save := '&val_save';
do_save := upper(ltrim(substr(nvl(do_save, 'N'), 1,1)));
IF do_save = 'Y' THEN
commit;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Data saved.');
ELSE
rollback;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Data rejected.');
END IF;
end;

it is not solving my problem,...Why not? Did you test and also check the documentation link?
