Unable to use 10g New feature -- COLLECT

Hi all,
Im trying to make use of the COLLECT function for string aggregation(Though I could stragg I would like to try this out) in my sql.
Im doing the following:
Select col1, collect(col2) as col2
from tab1
group by col1;
But it returns me with
+select col1,collect(col2)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got -+
What could be the reason and how could I make use of COLLECT?
Database : 10g Release:10.2.0.4
Thanks in Advance,
Ila.

Hi Odie,
After the TYPE is created(With name prefix "SYS"), system assigns the values to the collection type and aggregates it to give the result as mentioned in the link above (No need to create a type explicitly).
When I'm trying to execute a query involving COLLECT, its results in error which I had mentioned above.
Im bit unclear if Im missing something.
Thanks in advance..
Ila

10G NEW FEATURE-HOW TO FLUSH THE BUFFER CACHE

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2004-05-25
10G NEW FEATURE-HOW TO FLUSH THE BUFFER CACHE
===============================================
PURPOSE
이 자료는 Oracle 10g new feature 로 manual 하게
buffer cache 를 flush 할 수 있는 기능에 대하여 알아보도록 한다.
Explanation
Oracle 10g 에서 new feature 로 소개된 내용으로 SGA 내 buffer cache 의
모든 data 를 command 수행으로 clear 할 수 있다.
이 작업을 위해서는 "alter system" privileges 가 있어야 한다.
Buffer cache flush 를 위한 command 는 다음과 같다.
주의) 이 작업은 database performance 에 영향을 줄 수 있으므로 주의하여 사용하여야 한다.
SQL > alter system flush buffer_cache;
Example
x$bh 를 query 하여 buffer cache 내 존재하는 정보를 확인한다.
x$bh view 는 buffer cache headers 정보를 확인할 수 있는 view 이다.
우선 test 로 table 을 생성하고 insert 를 수행하고
x$bh 에서 barfil column(Relative file number of block) 과 file# 를 조회한다.
1) Test table 생성
SQL> Create table Test_buffer (a number)
2 tablespace USERS;
Table created.
2) Test table 에 insert
SQL> begin
2 for i in 1..1000
3 loop
4 insert into test_buffer values (i);
5 end loop;
6 commit;
7 end;
8 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
3) Object_id 확인
SQL> select OBJECT_id from dba_objects
2 where object_name='TEST_BUFFER';
OBJECT_ID
42817
4) x$bh 에서 buffer cache 내에 올라와 있는 DBARFIL(file number of block) 를 조회한다.
SQL> select ts#,file#,dbarfil,dbablk,class,state,mode_held,obj
2 from x$bh where obj= 42817;
TS# FILE# DBARFIL DBABLK CLASS STATE MODE_HELD J
9 23 23 1297 8 1 0 7
9 23 23 1298 9 1 0 7
9 23 23 1299 4 1 0 7
9 23 23 1300 1 1 0 7
9 23 23 1301 1 1 0 7
9 23 23 1302 1 1 0 7
9 23 23 1303 1 1 0 7
9 23 23 1304 1 1 0 7
8 rows selected.
5) 다음과 같이 buffer cache 를 flush 하고 위 query 를 재수행한다.
SQL > alter system flush buffer_cache ;
SQL> select ts#,file#,dbarfil,dbablk,class,state,mode_held,obj
2 from x$bh where obj= 42817;
6) x$bh 에서 state column 이 0 인지 확인한다.
0 은 free buffer 를 의미한다. flush 이후에 state 가 0 인지 확인함으로써
flushing 이 command 를 통해 manual 하게 수행되었음을 확인할 수 있다.

Unable to use all the feature of my email service (Juno on the web) like; font size/color, bolding, italics, highlighting etc why? Those features work through Internet Explorer but not Firefox.

When I go to my Juno on the web through Firefox, I am unable to use the tool features such as:
Font size / Color
Bolding
Italics
Bullets
Highlighting
just to name a few. Yet when I bring it up through Internet Explorer these features work, plus the way Firefox reads my Juno the tabs are distorted (the page is not formatted correctly, I contacted Juno they said I should contact my modem company AT& T they said no so you are my last resort.. Please help resolve my issue, THANK YOU in advance for assisting with this matter.

It is up to Juno to enable Midas, the Rich Text Editor which is built into Firefox, with one little line of code on every web page that has RTE for IE. There's nothing that you can do to turn that feature on your self, it has to be coded on each web page that has Rich Text Editing.
http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midas-spec.html 
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Midas
Their ignorance probably lies with their staff programmers only knowing how to do it for IE ''(their training and certificates are probably from the Microsoft cabal)'', and not realizing that Gecko and WebKit apps each have their own Rich Text Editor's, which require their own small line of code to enable those Editor's.

1Z0-045: Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Oracle 8i OCPs

Hi,
I was looking for right reference book for the 1z0-045 upgrade certification. I could not find any reference book that is related to this certification. Only one book have found out on Amazon site, which is "OCP Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Administrators Exam Guide (Oracle Press) (Paperback)" published by McGraw Hill.
But this book does not show exem number 1z0-045 anywhere. So I am not sure, is it a right book to buy.
Please let me know if any one has any knowledge about that.
I appreciate for your information.
Thanks
Amit

The book you mention is for those individuals who are upgrading their 9i OCP to the 10g OCP. Since you are apparently upgrading from 8i OCP, there is possibly a gap in your learning. You might want to take a look at OCP Oracle9i Database: New Features for Administrators Exam Guide (Paperback) which explains the new features for Oracle 9i to someone coming from an 8i background. No additional exam would be needed in your case but this book may help to fill out your knowledge a bit. You could also take a look at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96531/toc.htm if you would rather not buy an additional book.

Are you using the new features?

Some of you were very loud about getting certain features for PlayStation 4 and some even complained that they weren't available on day day1.
You asked for suspend/resume, a media player, dlna, the ability to pause downloads and you got it.
So are you using these new features?

Suspend and resume... for endurance racing modes on PJ Cars...Theres no save race status, kill the game lose the hole 1 hour 30mins race... sleep mode is on so if you pause the game the PS4 powers down and saves the game status.... Tested DLNA don't need it allready used plex VIA web browser then the transcoding PS3 and PS4 app...Pause and cancel down loads used. Music player use for PJ cars... As people stated if you Do not Use any thing then they vanish from the dynamic menu on PS4...Most are not even on the console untill a User hits the down load option... (technicaly you could use the youtube app to watch this...)

Oracle 10G New Feature........Part 1

Dear all,
from last couple of days i was very busy with my oracle 10g box,so i think this is right time to
share some intresting feature on 10g and some internal stuff with all of you.
Have a look :-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oracle 10g Memory and Storage Feature.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.Automatic Memory Management.
2.Online Segment Shrink
3.Redolog Advisor, checkpointing
4.Multiple Temporary tablespace.
5.Automatic Workload Repository
6.Active Session History
7.Misc
a)Rename Tablespace
b)Bigfile tablespace
c)flushing buffer cache
8.ORACLE INTERNAL
a)undocumented parameter (_log_blocks_during_backup)
b)X$ view (x$messages view)
c)Internal Structure of Controlfile
1.Automatic memory management
================================
This feature reduce the overhead of oracle DBA.previously mostly time we need to set diff oracle SGA parameter for
better performance with the help of own experience,advice views and by monitoring the behaviour
of oracle database.
this was just time consuming activity.........
Now this feature makes easy life for oracle DBA.
Just set SGA_TARGET parameter and it automatically allocate memory to different SGA parameter.
it focus on DB_CACHE_SIZE
SHARED_POOL_SIZE
LARGE_POOL
JAVA_POOL
and automatically set it as
__db_cache_size
__shared_pool_size
__large_pool_size
__java_pool_size
check it in alert_log
MMAN(memory manager) process is new in 10g and this is responsible for sga tuning task.
it automatically increase and decrease the SGA parameters value as per the requirement.
Benefit:- Maximum utlization of available SGA memory.
2.Online Segment Shrink.
==========================
hmmmmm again a new feature by oracle to reduce the downtime.Now oracle mainly focus on availablity
thats why its always try to reduce the downtime by intrducing new feature.
in previous version ,reducing High water mark of table was possible by
Exp/imp
or
alter table move....cmd. but on these method tables was not available for normal use for long hrs if it has more data.
but in 10g with just few command we can reduce the HWmark of table.
this feature is available for ASSM tablespaces.
1.alter table emp enable row movement.
2.alter table emp shrink space.
the second cmd have two phases
first phase is to compact the segment and in this phase DML operations are allowed.
second phase(shrink phase)oracle shrink the HWM of table, DML operation will be blocked at that time for short duration.
So if want to shrink the HWM of table then we should use it with two diff command
first compact the segment and then shrink it on non-peak hrs.
alter table emp shrink space compact. (This cmd doesn't block the DML operation.)
and alter table emp shrink space. (This cmd should be on non-peak hrs.)
Benefit:- better full table scan.
3.Redolog Advisor and checkpointing
================================================================
now oracle will suggest the size of redo log file by V$INSTANCE_RECOVERY
SELECT OPTIMAL_LOGFILE_SIZE
FROM V$INSTANCE_RECOVERY
this value is influence with the value of FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET .
Checkpointing
Automatic checkpointing will be enable after setting FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET to non-zero value.
4.Multiple Temporary tablespace.
==================================
Now we can manage multiple temp tablespace under one group.
we can create a tablespace group implicitly when we include the TABLESPACE GROUP clause in the CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE or ALTER TABLESPACE statement and the specified tablespace group does not currently exist.
For example, if group1 is not exists,then the following statements create this groups with new tablespace
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp1 TEMPFILE '/u02/oracle/data/temp01.dbf'
SIZE 50M
TABLESPACE GROUP group1;
--Add Existing temp tablespace into group by
alter tablespace temp2 tablespace group group1.
--we can also assign the temp tablespace group on database level as default temp tablespace.
ALTER DATABASE <db name> DEFAULT TEMPORARY TABLESPACE group1;
benefit:- Better I/O
One sql can use more then one temp tablespace
5.AWR(Automatic Workload Repository):-
================================== AWR is built in Repository and Central point of Oracle 10g.Oracle self managing activities
is fully dependent on AWR.by default after 1 hr, oracle capure all database uses information and store in AWR with the help of
MMON process.we called it Memory monitor process.and all these information are kept upto 7 days(default) and after that it automatically purge.
we can generate a AWR report by
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt
Just like statspack report but its a advance and diff version of statspack,it provide more information of Database as well as OS.
it show report in Html and Text format.
we can also take manually snapshot for AWR by
BEGIN
DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.CREATE_SNAPSHOT ();
END;
**The STATISTICS_LEVEL initialization parameter must be set to the TYPICAL or ALL to enable the Automatic Workload Repository.

Benefit:- Now DBA have more free time to play games.....................:-)
Advance version of statspack
more DB and OS information with self managing capabilty
New Automatic alert and database advisor with the help of AWR.
6.Active Session History:-
==========================
V$active_session_history is view that contain the recent session history.
the memory for ASH is comes from SGA and it can't more then 5% of Shared pool.
So we can get latest and active session report from v$active_session_history view and also get histortical data of
of session from DBA_HIST_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY.
v$active_session_history include some imp column like:-
~SQL identifier of SQL statement
~Object number, file number, and block number
~Wait event identifier and parameters
~Session identifier and session serial number
~Module and action name
~Client identifier of the session
7.Misc:-
========
Rename Tablespace:-
=================
in 10g,we can even rename a tablespace by
alter tablespace <tb_name> rename to <tb_name_new>;
This command will update the controlfile,data dictionary and datafile header,but dbf filename will be same.
**we can't rename system and sysaux tablespace.
Bigfile tablespace:-
====================
Bigfile tablespace contain only one datafile.
A bigfile tablespace with 8K blocks can contain a 32 terabyte datafile.
Bigfile tablespaces are supported only for locally managed tablespaces with automatic segment-space management.
we can take the advantage of bigfile tablespace when we are using ASM or other logical volume with RAID.
without ASM or RAID ,it gives poor response.
syntax:-
CREATE BIGFILE TABLESPACE bigtbs
Flushing Buffer Cache:-
======================
This option is same as flushing the shared pool,but only available with 10g.
but i don't know, whats the use of this command in prod database......
anyway we can check and try it on test server for tuning n testing some query etc....
SQL> alter system flush buffer_cache;
System altered.
++++++++++++++++++
8.Oracle Internal
++++++++++++++++++
Here is some stuff that is not related with 10g but have some intresting things.
a)undocumented parameter "_log_blocks_during_backup"
++++++++++++++++++++++++
as we know that oracle has generate more redo logs during hotbackup mode because
oracle has to maintain the a complete copy of block into redolog due to split block.
we can also change this behaviour by setting this parameter to False.
If Oracle block size equals the operating system block size.thus reducing the amount of redo generated
during a hot backup.
WITHOUT ORACLE SUPPORT DON'T SET IT ON PROD DATABASE.THIS DOCUMENT IS JUST FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSE.
b)some X$ views (X$messages)
++++++++++++++++
if you are intresting in oracle internal architecture then x$ view is right place for getting some intresting things.
X$messages :-it show all the actions that a background process do.
select * from x$messages;
like:-
lock memory at startup MMAN
Memory Management MMAN
Handle sga_target resize MMAN
Reset advisory pool when advisory turned ON MMAN
Complete deferred initialization of components MMAN
lock memory timeout action MMAN
tune undo retention MMNL
MMNL Periodic MQL Selector MMNL
ASH Sampler (KEWA) MMNL
MMON SWRF Raw Metrics Capture MMNL
reload failed KSPD callbacks MMON
SGA memory tuning MMON
background recovery area alert action MMON
Flashback Marker MMON
tablespace alert monitor MMON
Open/close flashback thread RVWR
RVWR IO's RVWR
kfcl instance recovery SMON
c)Internal Structure of Controlfile
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The contents of the current controlfile can be dumped in text form.
Dump Level Dump Contains
1 only the file header
2 just the file header, the database info record, and checkpoint progress records
3 all record types, but just the earliest and latest records for circular reuse record types
4 as above, but includes the 4 most recent records for circular reuse record types
5+ as above, but the number of circular reuse records included doubles with each level
the session must be connected AS SYSDBA
alter session set events 'immediate trace name controlf level 5';
This dump show lots of intresting information.
it also show rman recordes if we used this controlfile in rman backup.

Oracle 10g new feature to backup to tape?

I heard rumours that Oracle 10g has new features to backup to tape directly. I don't know exactly how this is done, and I'd like the experts to comment. What I've discovered so far is that there is this program called Legato Single Server Version (LSSV) which ships with the Oracle 10g Companion CD which makes RMAN use the tape directly as a medium to backup. Is this CD available for download?

I am truly curious why you actively ask to avoid the "New Features Guide" which provides much of the information you desire.
