Why we have only one log writer in oracle

Why we have only one log writer in oracle while we have more than one DB writer and archiver in oracle.

Was this a interview question? Looks like to me..
High DML allows multiple log writer processes as well by spawning multiple log writer processes.
No - there is only one log writer process per instance.
Don't confuse the function of I/O slaves with the function of the log writer.

Why we can have only one public class in one source file

why we can have only one public class in one source file

When the java compiler is run it looks for classes referenced by the classes you are directly compiling. When looking for these referenced classes it looks for source as well as class files and compiles them automatically if the coresponding class files are missing, or older than the source.
In order to do this it must be able to work out the source file name for any given class which might be referenced from another (the rule also applies to package level access).

Why a table can have only one PK ?

Just wanted to know the reason why Oracle allows only one PK per table ?
I came across a situation where my existing large PK which is on a single (ID) column needs an alteration to add a new column (No).
ID column on which PK is based is now subjected to have duplication and that is the reason why i want to add a new column. The new column composition is not going to ensure uniqueness.
So, i need to create (alter) PK on two columns now.
It seems, in order to do that, i need to drop the existing PK and create a new one. Since this is a OLTP production database, business cannot afford to drop the existing pk.
When i tried to create a separate PK on two columns, Oracle gave me below err:
ORA-02260: table can have only one primary keySo, i wanted to understand why Oracle allows only one PK / table ? and considering above err, is there any way to make required changes to my PK without altering existing PK?
(Table is a large 30 GB partition table and PK is a non partitioned global index)
I think PROBABLY i need to drop existing PK and re-create the new one. But core intention for opening this thread is to know rational behind one pk/table concept.

It's not exactly Oracle's fault. The ISO SQL standard requires that a "PRIMARY KEY" constraint can only be used once per table. However, a UNIQUE constraint on non-nullable columns achieves effectively the same thing as a PRIMARY KEY. You can have multiple UNIQUE constraints.
Arguably the PRIMARY KEY constraint is unnecessary and could safely be dropped from the SQL language. In principle in the relational model a "primary" key is nothing more or less than a candidate key. All keys are equal in the relational model and there is no fundamental reason to designate a primary key at all. There is certainly no reason not to have multiple keys. In the SQL world though it is a very widely observed convention to use a PRIMARY KEY constraint for each table and to use it for all foreign key references.

Why is there only one automated audio fader at head and none at tail of some audio clips?

When I select "Show audio animation," top left of an audio clip, on some sections I have two knobs... one at the head for fade in, and one at the tail for fade out. Why is there only one on some of the audio clips and not both? I've set up the clips the same, regarding audio animation, and some have faders at head, but not tail. How do I make another fader at the tail of a clip? Or why doesn't it automatically behave like the other audio clips that DO have two faders? I don't know what I'm doing to make them act differently.
Thanks,

Tom,
Thanks for reply. I'm attaching screen shots. For some reason my pointer didn't show up with a normal screen grab. Don't understand. Anyway, several versions are attached. There isn't one hidden on the right beyond the frame that pops out when I put my pointer there (or any tool). Strange.

Why is there only one Operating Concern defined in GBI?

Hi all,
I have the following question: when looking at the CO structure of the GBI case study, why is there only one, global operating concern defined? According to the definition of an OC, it is the level whereupon profitability analysis is performed. So why is in GBI that has two very distinct business areas not at least two OCs defined (one per business area), if not more (per product)?
As a follow-on, what is then the relation between OC and Controlling Area? I am looking for a plain English explanation that I can also use for teaching purposes.
Thank you in advance for reading!
Regards,
Gerhard

Hi Gerhard,
I hope my reply is not too late.
I agree with you. Profitability analysis is typically done at a detailed level - by market segments, which may be defined by geographical segments, customer groupings, product groupings, salesforce grouping, etc. CO-PA does support profitability analysis at such detailed levels.
After defining an operating concern and activating it, the system generates a series of database tables for the operating concern. I took a screenshot of the (partial) structure of the "master" table for the global GBI operating concern, GL00, from the GBI 2.2 system I am using, below:
As you can see, with such a table structure, CO-PA is capable of capturing profitability information at a very detailed level for reporting and analysis.
You may also notice that operating concern is not a field in the table. The reason is, the entire table (as well as its related tables in the same series) is used only for operating concern GL00. Its name is even hard-coded in the last 4 characters of the names of these tables. When CO-PA reports are executed in SAP ECC, they retrieve data from only one series of tables, i.e., only data of only one operating concern can be reported.
Back to your question: Why is there only one operating concern and not two? The wisdom of defining one global operating concern is that profitability data of both controlling areas (Europe and North America) will be updated into the same series of database tables and reported together. If there had been two separate operating concerns for the two controlling areas, there would have been two series of database tables, making profitability analysis across the two areas difficult, if not impossible.
Let me know if you need further clarifications.

Had problem with DSL, now have only one tab with favicon matching that tab.

After a storm I had a problem with my U-Verse DSL. I lost access and got a message that it may be due to a problem with the filters on my phones, fax or satellite box. I disconnected all the items that had filters. I was then able to click on a link that AT&T had sent on the message and I got a response, I previously could not get a response because I had no connection. I got pack to the pages on all my tabs by hitting the back arrow on each one. I now have only one tab with favicon matching this WEB site for that tab, the rest all have the AT&T globe. I tried refresh and also opening a new tab and then going to one of the sites.
This problem is on a different PC that the one I am on now. It has version 21, and is Window 7 Home Premium. I have pasted the trouble shooting info from that PC.

Best way to have only one instance of an object in web application.

Hello,
I defined a class that provides services to my web application: subscribes user, check if user already subscrubed etc. The objects don't need to save any session information. So it is like a Stateless Session Bean (from what I've read about Session beans).
The webapp is small and I don't want to use EJBs.
What would be the best way to have one instance of the above class in my webapp ?
Would making the class static be a good method ? Using a factory ?
Is there a way to put in web.xml something that asks the container to instantiate an object that is not a servlet and place it in Application scope, so that I cann retrieve it whenever required in my app ?
Other suggestions ?
Thank you,
Vlad.

Hi
The best way to have only one instance is use the singleton pattern. The idea is : the class has a private
contructor, a public static method that returns an instance of this object and a static member that is false if not any instance and true if there si an instance.
To obtain one instance you can do some like
MyObject ob=MyObject.getIntance();
this method inspect the static member and returns null if true. If false set to true and return the object
via the private constructor.

Create a business model when we have only one source table

Hi,
How to create a business model when we have only one source table in Physical layer
Regards
Swathi

This is very much possible and feasible. Its called as Single Table model. Good example is SA System Subject Area where we just have a single physical source. No need to create Alias in Physical. Simply use the same table twice in BMM with one Logical Table as Dummy Fact..Like say Count of Users (aggregated). Then apply normal Complex join in BMM and present in presentation layer.
