Talk:Oracle database FAQ

From Oracle FAQ
⧼orafaq-jumptonavigation⧽⧼orafaq-jumptosearch⧽

a good way to eliminate usage of meta devices is to add data files via SQL. For example, typically the hardware RAID is already there on the storage side, most of the times what we need is to add space to the database and people tend to use a software RAID to concat the same. MySQL used to have this via innodb and oracle has this for ages. so it is easier to simply ad a new lun, give the lun to the end DBA and add a datafile to a tablespace pointing to the new LUN mount point. This is easier than ASM etc

And when you want to resize? Ask the DBA to give back part of the disk? When the project wants to spend less money on storage and give back part of the disk space?
When you want to add disk and rebalance the io across the LUN?
How do you do it?
With ASM you just have to add or drop the "disk" (LUN) to/from the diskgroup and all is done, rebalancing included.

formatting issue while executing SP in SQL Developer

Hi All,

While executing a SP in SQL Developer, i am facing formatting problem. such as


var c1 refcursor SET LINESIZE 100 execute seods01.DS_CGA.get_elec_addr_vld_dtl_rslt('00100000000000070762673','COLA Client Identifier',:c1); print c1;

and the output is:

anonymous block completed C1


ELEC_ADDR_TXT SEQ_NBR ADDR_VLD_REAS_TYP_CDE ADDR_VLD_RSLT_STT_TSTP ADDR_VLD_REAS_VAL_CDE ADDR_VLD_RSLT_END_TSTP
