Oracle OEM 13c offers the possibility to generate reports about Oracle Database Tablespace Monthly Space Usage. The displayed information is quite useful and display a lot of information: The report displays the details for each month and for each tablespace, but the GUI is sometimes painful: you have a nice report but many tablespaces and many numbers :=( At a client’s site, I had the following behavior: a production database had its data…
Getting data out of PostgreSQL in csv format is not a big issue. Using copy you can do that easily. PostgreSQL 12 will enhance psql so that you can directly return csv formatted output from a query.
A common way to identify long running queries in PostgreSQL is to set log_min_duration_statement to a value that is known to cause troubles. In other words: If you know most of your statements usually execute in under a second you could set log_min_duration_statement to “2s” (which means two seconds) so that whenever a statement takes longer than two seconds it will be reported in the log file. The issue with this however is, that this…
After upgrading a Oracle Access Manager from 11.1.2.3 to 12.2.1.3, one of my customer requested from me to configure the Forget Password feature. This feature requires the User Messaging Service that was part of the SOA software in previous versions. Now it is part of the Oracle Access Manager software and the WebLogic Domain can be extended with the UMS services. Extend WebLogic Domain [oracle@vm03 ~]$ cd /u01/app/fmw_oim_12213/ [oracle@vm03 fmw_oim_12213]$ ls cfgtoollogs coherence domain-registry.xml em…
Traditionally everything which is related to recovery in PostgreSQL goes to recovery.conf. This is not only true for recovery settings but also for turning an instance into a replica which follows a master. Some days ago this commit landed in the PostgreSQL git repository. What that effectively means is, that there will be no more recovery.conf starting with PostgreSQL 12. How does that work then? Lets do some tests.
Did you ever use the famous DBCC PAGE command? Folks who are interested in digging further to the SQL Server storage already use it for a while. We also use it during our SQL Server performance workshop by the way. But the usage of such command may sometimes go beyond and it may be used for some troubleshooting scenarios. For instance, last week, I had to investigate a locking contention scenario where I had to…
I tried to apply a patch to my 18.3.0 GI/ASM two node cluster on RHEL 7.5. The first node worked fine, but the second node got always an error…
The DOAG 2018 is over, for me the most important topics were in the field of licensing. The insecurity among the users is great, let’s take virtualization on the ODA, for example: The starting point: The customer uses Oracle Enterprise Edition, has 2 CPU licenses, uses Dataguard as disaster protection on 2 ODA X7-2M systems and wants to virtualize, he also has 2 application servers that are also to be virtualized. Sure, if I use…
