Comprare Oracle Data Between two Schema

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Database
While browsing On internet Today i found some script that will help you to compare data between two schema in Oracle for those who don’t love to use tools you can Download them from :

Script Number One
Script Number Two

There are Serveral Tools Used for Comparing such as :

1-Open Source application for comparing two tables of data
2-TOAD FOR ORACLE
3-Oracle SQL DEVELOPER 
4-Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM).
5-Compare any Two Database http://www.dbsolo.com/schema_comparison.html .
6-RedGate to Compare Data, schema , Database .

Some Way To Active Oracle Trace

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Database
Reading to Oracle Documentation the trace is facility provides performance information on individual SQL statements. It generates the following statistics for each statement:

  • Parse, execute, and fetch counts
  • CPU and elapsed times
  • Physical reads and logical reads
  • Number of rows processed
  • Misses on the library cache
  • Username under which each parse occurred
  • Each commit and rollback

To enable Oracle Trace you can do the following :

 Option Number One :

alter session set sql_trace = true;

Disable it :

alter session set sql_trace = false;

Option Number two :

Activate
dbms_session.set_sql_trace (true);
Deactivate

dbms_session.set_sql_trace (false);

Option Number three:

Activate
dbms_support.start_trace (binds=>{true|false}, waits=>{true|false});
Deactivate

dbms_support.stop_trace;

Notice that package is not installed by default , Check
EVENT: 10046 “enable SQL statement tracing (including binds/waits)” [ID 21154.1]

There’s The most Common way to Trace your SQL and enable trace , there’s other way you can search on it via Google or Oracle Documentation , all you have to do is trying one of these options .

Oracle Default Users

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Database
When you are creating Database , By Default there’s Users Created In Installation Phase , Check Them :

SYS
The SYS user owns all base tables and user-accessable view of the data dictionary (Oracle configuration information). No Oracle user should ever alter (update, delete, or insert) any rows or schema objects conatained in the SYS schema, because such activity can compromise data integrety. The security administrator must keep strict control of this central account. 
 
SYSTEM
The SYSTEM user is used to create additional tables and views that display administrative information, and internal tables and views used by various Oracle options and tools. 
 
SYSMAN
The SYSMAN user represents the Enterprise Manager super admin account. This EM admin can create and modify other EM admin accounts as well as admin the database instance itself.
 
DBSNMP
The DBSNMP user is used by EM to monitor the database. EM uses this account to access performance stats about the database. The DBSNMP credentials sometimes referred to as the monitoring credentials. 
 
 
In addition to these users, a user can connect with diffrent levels of privileges, namely SYSDBA and SYSOPER. When you connect using “connect sys/passwd as sysdba” your connecting as the SYS user and requesting SYSDBA privs. Because the SYS user is the Oracle equivilent to the UNIX root user Oracle makes you specify the amount of control you have, which is why you’ll get an error if you try to connect without specifying the privs.
 
The big diffrence between SYSDBA and SYSOPER privs is that SYSDBA can do anything (just like root). The SYSOPER privs allow you just about the same amount of control but won’t allow you to look at user data. Both privs allow you to ALTER DATABASE, CREATE SPFILE, STARTUP or SHUTDOWN, ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG, and includes RESTRICTED SESSION privs. However, only SYSDBA can CREATE or DROP DATABASE, and the ALTER DATABASE RECOVER options for SYSOPER are limited to complete recovery only. 
 
 
There’s Another Users you can find Them On This Link

Find blocking sessions In Oracle

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Database
  You can query the gv$lock and gv$session views to locate a blocking session in RAC.

Miladin Modrakovic offers this script to detect and kill RAC blocking sessions, using  GV$Session and GV$Lock.

 CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE kill_blocker
AS
   sqlstmt   VARCHAR2 (1000);
BEGIN
   FOR x IN (SELECT gvh.SID sessid, gvs.serial# serial,
                    gvh.inst_id instance_id
               FROM gv$lock gvh, gv$lock gvw, gv$session gvs
              WHERE (gvh.id1, gvh.id2) IN (SELECT id1, id2
                                             FROM gv$lock
                                            WHERE request = 0
                                           INTERSECT
                                           SELECT id1, id2
                                             FROM gv$lock
                                            WHERE lmode = 0)
                AND gvh.id1 = gvw.id1
                AND gvh.id2 = gvw.id2
                AND gvh.request = 0
                AND gvw.lmode = 0
                AND gvh.SID = gvs.SID
                AND gvh.inst_id = gvs.inst_id)
   LOOP
      sqlstmt :=
            ‘ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION ”’
         || x.sessid
         || ‘,’
         || x.serial
         || ‘,@’
         || x.instance_id
         || ””;
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (sqlstmt);

      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sqlstmt;
   END kill_blovk;
END TEST;
/         

when the script  will generate it will execute Alter session to kill This Session .

Redhat virtualization (KVM)

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Operating system
I am So Proud Today to write this topic , after 14 Hours Of continuous working . I Enabled Virtualization On Redhat , Its was challenging to me ,  I feel for moment its impossible to enable it .

But After finishing KVM installation and see everything is working fine i knew its deserve every moments . I believe in what they say now ” Never Give Up ” . I posting this article today for the people who wants to learn something new. And if you face any problem you can contact me here, I Wrote this because there’s no much information about the package that you should install while you are working on Virtualization But Hope you will find this useful.

you can install the package from Redhat Media , some Package will Generate what called Package Dependency , You will start searching for missing Package on media with same name as appear to you . its waste of time , i will post under this topic the most important package that you need to install to avoid this error. 
Some Other Information you need to know To Check If KVM Support : 

Solution One Using :

/proc/cpuinfo , the output :


The flags to look out for are:

  • vmx — Intel VT-x, basic virtualization
  • svm — AMD SVM, basic virtualization
  • ept — Extended Page Tables, an Intel feature to make emulation of guest page tables faster.
  • vpid — VPID, an Intel feature to make expensive TLB flushes unnecessary when context switching between guests.
  • npt — AMD Nested Page Tables, similar to EPT.
  • tpr_shadow and flexpriority — Intel feature that reduces calls into the hypervisor when accessing the Task Priority Register, which helps when running certain types of SMP guests.
  • vnmi — Intel Virtual NMI feature which helps with certain sorts of interrupt events in guests.

Solution Two :

dmesg | less
 

The two messages to look out for are:

kvm: no hardware support and
kvm: disabled by bios

To load KVM:

Intel 

modprobe kvm_intel

 AMD :

modprobe kvm_amd
 
 
 


Package that you need to install (Sorted) :

 etherboot-zroms-kvm-5.4.4-10.el5.x86_64.rpm

To Solve this error you could use more than one solution :

Solution One :

declare
begin
   for index_rec in (select owner, index_name
                     from dba_INDEXES
                     where status = ‘UNUSABLE’)
   loop                    
      execute immediate ‘alter index ‘ || index_rec.owner || ‘.’ ||
          index_rec.index_name || ‘ rebuild’;
   end loop;
end;

Solution two:

10g and above :

alter system set skip_unusable_indexes=true;

check character set in Oracle

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Database
Simple Topic just to people who asked before why NLS_CHARACTER SET Not appearing in my V$PARAMETER View :

Just Use two Below Query Depend on your version 

SQL> select value from nls_database_parameters where 
parameter = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET' ;
 
VALUE
----------------------------------------
AR8MSWIN1256
 
 
Check the National Character set :
 
SQL> select value from nls_database_parameters where 
parameter = 'NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET' ;

 Or you can Use :

SELECT value$ FROM sys.props$ WHERE name = ‘NLS_CHARACTERSET’ ;

Thank you

Oracle Performance – Statspack

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Database
I mention before in my blog how to Generate AWR Reports But now How to Generate Statpack and how to use it !!!!


enable Statpack :

By default Statpack is disable to enable it do the following

1- Create tablespace with size at least 200MB
2-@?/rdbms/admin/spcreate

Disable it 

@?/rdbms/admin/spdrop
 
Statpack works on snapshot you can do the following with oracle snap shot :
 
Generate Snapshot : 

exec statspack.snap;
 
Or
 
exec statspack.snap(i_snap_level => 10, i_modify_parameter => 'true'); 

Levels Description :


Level 0 - This level captures general statistics, 
including rollback segment, row cache, SGA, system events, background 
events, session events, system statistics, wait statistics, lock 
statistics, and Latch information.

Level 5 - This level includes capturing high resource usage SQL Statements, along with all data captured by lower levels. 

Level 6 - This level includes capturing SQL plan and SQL plan usage 
information for high resource usage SQL Statements, along with all data 
captured by lower levels. 

Level 7 - This level captures segment level statistics, including 
logical and physical reads, row lock, itl and buffer busy waits, along 
with all data captured by lower levels. 
 
Level 10 - This level includes capturing Child Latch statistics, along with all data captured by lower levels. 
 
Delete SnapShot 


@?/rdbms/admin/sppurge;
 
Check SnapShot on Database Level : 

col "Date/Time" format a30
select	snap_id
,       snap_level
,	to_char(snap_time,'HH24:MI:SS DD-MM-YYYY') "Date/Time"
from	stats$snapshot
,	v$database
order by snap_id
/

 To Scheducle One Hour Generate Snapshot :

@?/rdbms/admin/spauto.sql
 
This script use DBMS_JOB to create new job . you can check them from view dba_jobs
 and to delete job "exec dbms_job.remove();"
 
 

Finally Generate statpack Reports : 

 
 @?/rdbms/admin/spreport.sql
