sybase interface file convert from TLI to TCP

SERVERNAME

Indicates that this is a "tli address" family. This is always the start of the start of a TLI address. TCP/IP is family 2, depending on network vendor and byte order of the machine, the most common is 0002, or 0200 depending whether the machine is 'big endian' or 'little endian'. Check your current interfaces file.	This is the hexadecimal equivalent of the port number	This is the first part of the IP address.	This is the second part of the IP address.	This is the third part of the IP address.	This is the fourth part of the IP address.	This is a 'padding' value, and is platform dependant, on Solaris it is 16 zeros. It is mandatory

Resetting forgotten Oracle Linux root password

get oracle job DDLs with dbms_metadata.get_ddl

Trick:
is you query dba_objects for your job objects, the objecttype is "JOB". However, if you use this type to extract your DDL definition, you get the following:

SQL> select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('JOB','COORD_INC_BACKUP','DBA_ADMIN') from dual;
ERROR:
ORA-31604: invalid NAME parameter "NAME" for object type JOB in function
SET_FILTER
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 116
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA_INT", line 4676
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA_INT", line 8552
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 2881
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 2747
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 4333
ORA-06512: at line 1

no rows selected

Infact, the object type of your job object is not JOB, but PROCJOB

SQL> set long 2000000

SQL> set pagesize 0

SQL> select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('PROCOBJ','COORD_INC_BACKUP','DBA_ADMIN') from dual;

Optimizer statistics History Information

The following is used to get the optimizer statistics' history retention value and the timestamps for which statistics are available to be restored to the oracle database:
DECLARE
r number
a timestamp;
BEGIN
a:=dbms_stats.get_stats_history_availability;
r:=dbms_stats.get_stats_history_retention;
dbms_output.put_line(a||'--'||r);
END;

password file number of entries

1. At the time of creating a password file you specify the maximum number of distinct DBA and OPERs. But say already this step had been taken care and now I want to see in the exsisting password file the max. no of entries specified. Which data dictionary or anyother place where we can get this info. take the size of the password file, subtract 1024 and divide by 128. Eg: $ ls -lag xxx yyy zzz -rwSr----- 1 tkyte other 3584 Dec 27 11:25 xxx -rwSr----- 1 tkyte other 6144 Dec 27 11:25 yyy 3584 -> 2560 -> 20, xxx has 20 entries 6144 -> 5120 -> 40, yyy has 40 entries

-- Mods:        Modified to check for 10g or 11g as the hint structure changed.
--              Modified to join on category as well as signature.

create_sql_profile_awr.sqlPost title

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
-- File name:   create_sql_profile_awr.sql
--
-- Purpose:     Create SQL Profile based on Outline hints in V$SQL.OTHER_XML.
--
-- Author:      Kerry Osborne
--
-- Usage:       This scripts prompts for five values.
--
--              sql_id: the sql_id of the statement to attach the profile to 
--              (must be in the shared pool and in AWR history)
--
--              plan_hash_value: the plan_hash_value of the statement in AWR history
--
--              profile_name: the name of the profile to be generated
--
--              category: the name of the category for the profile
--
--              force_macthing: a toggle to turn on or off the force_matching feature
--
-- Description: 
--
--              Based on a script by Randolf Giest.
--
-- Mods:        This is the 2nd version of this script which removes dependency on rg_sqlprof2.sql.
