Hi Andrew,

Any ideas on best way to inform an external app that a weekly table update has completed so that the apps reports can start?

Comment on Comments in spfile alter system by Andrew Fraser

Hi Coskan,

Yes I do have the same behaviour – for some parameters. Parameter sga_target does not show the comment, while parameter pga_aggregate_target does show the comment.

That is with version 10.2.0.3.0. I haven’t checked to see if that is fixed in later versions.

SQL>select name, value, update_comment from v$parameter where name in ('pga_aggregate_target','sga_target');


NAME

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

VALUE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE_COMMENT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

sga_target

Andrew,

Did you check if it is actually updating the update_comment column of v$parameter table. I tried it but it did not update the update_comment column of v$parameter v$system_parameter tables. Tried to convert spfile to pfile to see if it updates the init file no luck.

The only way that I can see the comment was on alert log.

Do you have the same behaviour (10.2.0.4 is the DB I tried it on)

Comment on Using 10g datapump and scheduler to copy schemas by Sam

Hi Andrew,

Firstly thanks a lot for pointing out that other objects like procedures and functions need to be manually cleaned up. Is it the same case with using “Import/Export” Utility, or will it replace all the existing objects with the new ones?

Thanks,
