Types of DBA

Hi,
Are there an OLAP DBA and OLTP DBA, experience DBA is one who has both the experiences?
Being more specific like Oracle Linux DBA, Performance Tuning DBA, can it also be like this and if not then what is a specialized DBA?
Adith

As with anything involving job roles, it depends...
Are there DBAs that have a great deal of experience in OLAP databases and the technologies that go with OLAP processing? Sure.
Are there DBAs that have a great deal of experience with OLTP databases? Sure.
Are there companies and/or projects that call for one or the other? Sure.
Are there companies and/or projects that look for DBAs that are comfortable in both environments? Sure.
Are there lots of similarities between OLTP and OLAP DBAs? Sure. But there are also a lot of differences.

Grant DBA role

Hi, i have experienced many time that when you give dba role to any schema it should get the privilege of Create any on all object. but it is not the case after giving dba privilege to schema i have to give create any privilege to that schema though DBA role have that Facility, why is it so.

Are you talking about the default role named DBA? If so, that role should rarely be granted to anyone. Either way, on my database it has the privileges you say it doesn't.

How to query dictionary for the following

Hi,
I have oracle 10g installed on linux box.
i am going to security issues.
so i need to find out certain things like the following:
1.list of users who have dba priviliges.
2.what are the roles created by any user and who have been assigned those roles.
3.who has DML privileges for some particular tables
4.who has permissions to create objects, users, tablespaces, etc
5.who has execute privileges for some procedures, functions
these are the few things i could guess for now.
if there are any other dictionary tables that will be useful for administration please let me know.
Can someone guide me please.
Thanks in advance,
Philip.

1. OTB, certain system privileges are collected in the role DBA. You can query dba_role_privs to see who has that role granted. However, some shops, like ours, do not ever grant that role. Instead we create our own roles with the appropriate system privileges for each level or type of dba.
2. You cannot tell who created a particular role. You can tell who is currently granted that role by querying dba_role_privs.
3. Query dba_tab_privs. You may have to drill down through roles to find out the actual user, however.
4. Query dba_sys_privs for any privilege that begins CREATE. You may have to drill down through roles to find out the actual user, however.
5. See answer to number 3

Audio levels different from camera to Premiere Pro

Why is it that the audio levels on the camera can show the subject peaking right above -10dB, but when I bring the clips into Premiere, they are below -12dB and I always have to boost them?
Just to test this, I cranked up the volume on our camera's inputs to the point where it was clipping. When I took this clip into Premiere it still wasn't hitting 0dB. It was peaking into the yellow, even though the clip was completely distorted because of the clipping coming into the camera.
Is there a way to calibrate either Premiere Pro or our camera so that they match, so when you are peaking at -6dB on the camera, it's the same in Premiere Pro?
I know the solution probably involves a tone generator being used with the camera, which we have, but I'm not exactly sure what to do.

>I cranked up the volume on our camera's inputs to the point where it was clipping. When I took this clip into Premiere it still wasn't hitting 0dB. It was peaking into the yellow, even though the clip was completely distorted because of the clipping coming into the camera.
What I think is you have run into is definitions of the dB. One has dBm and dBV in the electrical world, among a lot of others (for example sound pressure/power and different types like dBA, dBC, and so on within sound levels).
Anyway, to make this not to be a too deep lesson in deciBel (dB), it seem like your cameras define 0dB to be something different than what Premiere defines it to be. The dB presentation (what the display shows) is a logarithmic number depending on a reference level, meaning in this case, if the voltage (sound turned into electricity) hits for example 1 Vrms then we'll call that 0dB (which is probably what Premiere does, and maybe your camera uses 0,775 Vrms as 0dB reference).
Clear as mud so far, right, just wait for the following. Just kidding, but look up decibel in google, and you'll find a pretty complex world.
Bottom line:
I don't think you can get the dB levels in Premiere and your cameras to match, unless your cameras have a setting that defines the 0dB level. The best you can do, in my opinion, is to learn the difference and go from there as you have ("I always have to boost them"). But, also remember that if you do some audio stuff in Premiere that you want to record back onto tape, you'll have to go the other way, lessen the audio level.
Reference levels made by a tone generator is a fine way to learn the differences.
Dag
EDIT: Allthough it probably is a definition question, just never let your camera go over 0dB. As you have noticed, it will be distorted sound. The electric circuits on your camera won't handle over 0dB well.

Database Analyst/Adminstration and support

This may seem a bit "green" of me to ask this question, but I was wondering as a DBA (not quite sure what the difference between an adminstrator and analyst are), is "on call support" always a necessity?
Currently I am working as a programmer, but always have been drawn to databases and always perk up at the chance at writing some SQL or PL/SQL.
I am considering making the jump to be a DBA but dont know any "real life" DBA's to really question (they are in a totally different office)
I was wondering
Do all DBAs HAVE to be on call? As they are the ones that do support and maintain the up time of the server. This is one thing that has always caused me to steer away from tech support, is the on call. While if i were younger and without family and a young buck no problem, but I already get very little sleep with a child.

It depends. Everything can wrong. I can't begin to give you a list of what can go wrong because pretty everything has during my DBA career - ranging from the sublime to the harmless to the absolutely ridiculous.
I disagree with Aman when he says that on-call is mostly for Remote DBA companies. Any company who has vital data that they administer in house will have on-call for their Production DBAs. Not being able to get to the data is vital to companies from SMEs to multinationals. As SB rightly says, it's the medium-sized businesses that are really tough to be a DBA at most of all. You are often the ONLY guy and you have no-one to turn to when you get the alert that says your DB is down at stupid o'clock. Yes, you will be called when you're on vacation and expect the worst crisis to happen when it's most inconvenient to you (think family weddings, kids' school plays). It's just the way it is. In the UK, we called it 'sod's law'.
If your business needs access to its data, that's when a DBA will be expected to be on-call, whether it's 9-to-5, 8-to-8 or 24/7/365. A lot of companies can also tell you exactly what they're losing for each minute of downtime - something that's fun to know whenever you're doing your best to try and think clearly about a mind-boggling problem at 2.30am on a Saturday morning.
There are different types of DBAs, though. A lot of people consider database developers to be DBAs. Personally, I disagree with that classification, but in all but one company I've worked for, that's been the case. I would suggest that 'DBAs' refer to 'Production DBAs' or 'System DBAs' mostly. 'Development DBAs' are not on-call as often, but when they are, they're expected to provide on-call support to the Production DBA for code, business logic, etc.
If you can't put up with the on-call, then I would advise you to avoid being a DBA. Another thing you might not like is that, if there's a problem and your database is down or you need to restore it, it can feel like the entire company is resting on your shoulders - because it is. Being on-call is a pain, but the toughest part is the stress. If you can't get your database back, that will have serious and permanent ramifications for your business. When the worst is happening, you have to be strong enough not to let thoughts like 'if I don't get this right, a hundred/thousand people might be out of work in the morning' enter your mind.
It's a good job. It's very challenging and it's well-paid, but it's not for most people and I don't say that to dissuade you, but so you know the pitfalls. It can get very tough at times, but there's a lot of really smart people out there who you can enjoy 'debating' the finer points with when you get on your way to being an expert. If you like problem-solving and analysis, it might be for you, but you have to take the good with the bad.

I cannot move my info. to webOS

I have a Google account and followed the instructions on how to upload my contacts and calendar from my desktop, but every time I try, I get an error message, "Sorry, we could not recognize the file format." Google asks for a .csv file format, but my files are listed as:
Palm/DA/address and
Palm/DA/datebook
without any .*** format ending.
I had an old Palm Desktop version (4.2) and upgraded to 6.2.2, but that didn't help.
I also searched for files with .csv formats, but I don't have any.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

Thanks for your responses. It helps when you know someone is listening.
As far as the instructions I used, since I have close to 3,500 contacts, these instructions:
http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/pre/migration/dta_windows.html
said I should upload directly to my service - Google and directed me to their instructions:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=14024
I Exported a .csv file for my Contacts to a place on my hard drive and then tried to Import it from the Google Contacts page. (I don't know how to Export it directly from my Desktop.) That's when I got the error message, "Sorry, we could not recognize the file format.".
As far as my Calendar, when I tried to Export it, there was only one "Export type" available: .dba (Date Book Archive); no .csv option.
Yes, I may have to go with the CompanionLink option, but I liked the idea of synching to the web. But now, with reading of all the problems with webOS it might not be worth it.

Types of tickets which a oracle dba solves

Hi,
Can u please tell me about different types of tickets which will come for a dba to solve.I also want to know information on L1 AND L2 support. What is the difference between them.

It really depends on the kind of business that you are running.
If its a ASP environment and you are responsible for handling customer databases as well, then expect tickets right from installation till performance tuning.
If it is a in-house development, then as a DBA you should be concerned only with the database related issues; even database server related issues should be handled by the system administrators, not you.
I also want to know information on L1 AND L2 support. What is the difference between them. Its how your company defines them.
In general, as a DBA, you should be concerned only with the database related issues but you should also be able to pin point the problem, if it is not database related.

What types of logs should be kept on activities relating to DBA?

What types of logs should be kept on activities relating to database administrator? How does the operating system assist in maintaining log? What alternatives are available to the IS-Auditor if the operating system does not maintain log?

As has been pointed out in your duplicate thread, these are rather vague and generic questions, so there are no clearly right answers...
What types of logs should be kept on activities
relating to database administrator? That's a business decision, not a technical decision... It depends on government regulations, the type of data in the system, the types of threats that the organization is most concerned with, the performance overhead that is acceptable, etc.
How does the
operating system assist in maintaining log? This is very vague. I don't know how to answer it-- from a database standpoint, the operating system is just holding a file that the DBA (hopefully) cannot update.
What
alternatives are available to the IS-Auditor if the
operating system does not maintain log?Perhaps you're thinking about Audit Vault here?
I need this answer please..! anyone can help meIs this for a school assignment? Or for something in the real world? In the real world, I would expect a lot more information before making any sort of decision on something like this...

Can not insert a row to a table from Oracle DBA Studio

Hi,
I try to use the Oracle DBA Studio to create a table and put some test data in it. Here is what I found:
I start Oracle DBA Studio on the client machine by connecting to an Oracle server 8i (8.1.7). I create a simple table called Test with two columns: one is USER, VARCHAR2, 10; and the other is USER2, CHAR, 2. After that, I right click on the table name and select "Table Data Editor" from the popup menu. The table editor window shows up. I type in the value 'AA' and 'BB' in the grid of two columns. Then I click the Apply button. An error message box popped up:
ORA-00928 missing SELECT keyword.
I click Show SQL button. The SQL statement is as following:
INSERT INTO "TASYS"."TEST" (USER ,USER2 ) VALUES ('AA' ,'BB').
I copy the statement to SQL Plus and run it. The same error is generated. But if I remove (USER, USER2) from the statement, it inserts a row without complaint. In other word, the database will not allow to insert if individual columns are list. I realize something must wrong with the new server and client installed and could not figure out what happening. Hope someone can help.
Thanks.

I am not sure, but could it be that USER is a keyword or predefine word. Check Oracle'slist of predefine/keyword

Float data types

I don't really know SSAS but have been a .NET programmer and worked with SQL Server and T-SQL for years. I am working on a project where there is a database storing sales transactions and a cube that is created nightly so we can get MTD Sales, YTD
Sales, Profit $, etc.
I just ran into an issue where I got an error retrieving the Profit $ measure (using an MDX query inside of a SQL stored procedure using OPENQUERY) and found that the profit $ should be 0.07 but is coming back as 6.9999999999993179E-2. After talking
to our DBA, he said all of the calculations in the cube are double precision floating point and I need to round all results to 2 decimal places (programs like Excel handle the rounding and I should too.)
Our DBA also claims the measures can't be calculated and returned as currency. He claims that the potential for error is very small and no one has ever complained about a $ value being off.
I am struggling with this answer because I have always been told never to use floating point for monetary values. I am having a hard time believing there is no way to have a measure be a currency field that is accurate. I looked for articles
online but can't seem to find anything to answer my questions.
Could someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks so much!

Your DBA is not completely correct in his claims. All calculations are not floating point below is a link to all of the data types supported by SSAS (Multi-Dimensional)
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg471558%28v=sql.110%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
SSAS supports a currency data type. It's 4 decimal places not 2, but it is the recommended data type for currency values as it does not suffer from the imprecision of the double data type.
The other thing measures in a cube have is the concept of a format string, so you can ask the cube to return a pre-formatted value to you. But default an OPENQUERY will just return the raw value, but if you add the following:
CELL PROPERTIES FORMATTED_VALUE
to the end of your MDX query that should tell it to return the formatted value (which could be something like "$#,##0.00")
See here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms146084.aspx for a list of all the different format masks that can be applied

If I want to create a set of hierarchical relational content types, how do I move from one to the other?

My scenario. I have been asked to create a series of content types to manage Report requests. A Report Base content type to be the parent, then three content types to extend that base to a Report Crystal, Report SSRS and Report SSIS. These top level
reports collect data once. Once an instance of the "Report Crystal" content type has been created the Report Writer needs to fill out another content type "Report DataSource" related by the ID of the parent to track any
stored procedures used in the report, what database\s does it hit... Here is where I am lost on the how to fill out related lists. Do I add a calculated column that attaches the report ID the a URL? e.g. ..ReportDatasource/newform.aspx?ReportID=1 which will
then show me the form. Or has this changed in 2013. I am reverse engineering some 2007 code to try to figure this out.
The next step after that hurdle is, when the report writer has completed each data source entry, a workflow generates and email with links to a "Change Request" form. There would be one created for each row in the Report Datasource. The
DBA would have to evaluate each "Change Request" and either Pass or Fail each one. This Pass\Fail parameter and a description would get recorded in a "Change Result Log".
I am wondering if a workflow replace the need for calculated columns or at least some. I think I have to have a calculated column in the initial "Report Crystal" column to fire off creating the first "Report DataSource" entry. And
then a calculated column on that to give the option of adding another entry into the "Report DataSource" list if there are multiple procedures for the report. But if the report writer sets a column in the "Report DataSource" as Ready
For Review" a workflow should generate the Change Request.
The flow is kind of set in stone but the structure is not. A very high level few of the data points

Hi Developer_46038,
if for example all the properties and object are stated as list, i think there is a tool that overcome cross list.

you can also using dataview webpart to show the cross lists:

but i am not quite sure how crystal report will do, if you can make the crystal report as also list, i think its possible,

How to Get Default Value of a Data Type in SQL Query.

Hi all,
I am creating a procedure which will take input the table name and Column Name.
In the Output i would like to have the data type and default value of that data type which will be used by a another procedure to blank the selected column in the database.
I tried with SET NULL on the column but as the database is of navision the table have property set to NOT NULL.
Here is what i have done till now.
Create Procedure Get_Column_type
@parm_table_name nvarchar(200),
@parm_column_name nvarchar(20),
@parm_result nvarchar(20)OUTPUT
AS
BEGIN
select @parm_result =
DATA_TYPE from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS IC
where TABLE_NAME = '[' + @parm_table_name +']' and COLUMN_NAME = '[' + @parm_column_name + ']'
END
GO
Now instead on write a case statement for so many data types in SQL, i was thinking is it possible someway that above procedure also returns the default value which i can set in another procedure.
Let me know if its possible or not? Thanks in advance.

Do you looking for something like this?
create table t10 ( c int default 1)
SELECT so.name AS table_name,
sc.name AS column_name,
sm.text AS default_value
FROM sys.sysobjects so
JOIN sys.syscolumns sc ON sc.id = so.id
LEFT JOIN sys.syscomments SM ON sm.id = sc.cdefault
WHERE so.xtype = 'U'
AND SO.name = 't10'
ORDER BY so.[name], sc.colid
