Hi, had to review service creation with DBMS_SERVICE package for a good-feeling load balancing in Oracle RAC 10gR2 several times – now I have to write it down for myself. 🙂 I needed it for a web service using shared server today, but the generic syntax is useful for all other purposes as well. Basic […]

Disabling (or enabling) general job execution in Oracle 10g

Hi, disabling and enabling job execution in Oracle DB has two ways: If you are using dbms_jobs, it’s handy to set job_queue_processes to zero to disable the execution of jobs, and set it to a value >0 (maybe 100) to enable. If you are using dbms_scheduler, this parameter does not work for you. You will […]

Find out your character set in Oracle DB

Hi, since ‘show parameter’ does not tell you your database charset, use this statement to see how your characters are stored: select * from nls_database_parameters where parameter=’NLS_CHARACTERSET’; Regards Usn […]

Oracle Database with SGA of or larger than 16GB

Hi, using large SGA’s requires 64bit Oracle RDBMS, of course. But furthermore, some OS settings are to be done. SUSE walks it’s own lane, quite as usual, so I will provide two ways for doing without ORA-27102. […]

Scheduler hangs in Oracle Database 10g

Hi, sometimes the 10g scheduler refuses to start jobs any more. I do not know why at the moment, but as a workaround you can just kill -9 the “coordinator job queue (CJQ0)” process from OS level. The process will be named like “ora_cjq0_SID” in a RAC. PMON does a restart of the coordinator after […]

How to fail over a client transparently in a dataguard switchover/failover scenario

Hi, with using dataguard (Oracle’s hot/cold standby database solution) you have the challenge to make a failover or a roleswitch between the primary and the standby database transparent to the clients. If you don’t, you will have a (partially) loss of service: Clients tnsnames.ora’s will need reconfiguration or the application has to use another TNS […]
