I would like to migrate 8.0.5(AR8iso8859p6) to 10g (AR8mswin1256)
what is the best way to avoid character conversion ? Both O/s-Solaris

(1)
Exp from 8.0.5(ar8iso8859p6) and IMP in 9i (AR8MSWIN1256)
then EXP 9i (AR8MSWIN1256) & IMP in 10g (AR8MSWIN1256)

OR

(2)at 8i db
SVRMGR> STARTUP MOUNT;
SVRMGR> ALTER SYSTEM ENABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
SVRMGR> ALTER SYSTEM SET JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES=0;
SVRMGR> ALTER SYSTEM SET AQ_TM_PROCESSES=0;
SVRMGR> ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
SVRMGR> AALTER DATABASE NATIONAL CHARACTER SET ar8mswin1256;
SVRMGR> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
SVRMGR> STARTUP;

then exp & imp in 9i and then to 10g.

OR

(3)

?

Thanks

I had not had to use supplemental logging until implementing streams, and was a bit confused on the various options. I distilled the Oracle documentation down to a bite-sized doc to describe supplemental logging options here:

Hope this helps!

i removed strmadmin and execute the above command multiple time ….and some config will remain in instantiated object and dont remove…..after all when i rebuild stream enviroment it dosent replicate any thing and all of the proccess are Enable…what i must to do

Interesting post. I’m curious if you think I can use it for an update I’m performing. We have a fact table which has a Primary Key based on the values of two columns; the first column is called ACCT_TIME_KEY which is an an INTEGER in the format of (YYYYMMDD), all records for a given month will have the same value. The second column is named CAT_KEY, which is a concatenation of all the dimension keys for a given record. The CAT_KEY for a given record looks something like this “AC1442AL4BCK999BI198945BU263BL4C1K1C2K1CK1350DK5OU751PK1SK1ST3″.

The fact table has a series of columns as follows (assume the record has an ACCT_TIME_KEY of 20081231):
PT_AMT_ACTUAL <– Current Amount
PT_AMT_ACTUAL_MAGO <– Amount for corresponding row with ACCT_TIME_KEY for 20081130
PT_AMT_ACTUAL_2MAGO <– Amount for corresponding row with ACCT_TIME_KEY for 20081031

So basically we are updating the table from itself as follows:
UPDATE fact_table a
SET a.pt_amt_actual_mago =
SELECT SUM (b.pt_amt_actual)
FROM fact_table b
WHERE acct_time_key = 20081130
AND a.cat_key = b.cat_key)
WHERE a.acct_time_key = 20081231
AND EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM fact_table c
WHERE acct_time_key = 20081231
AND a.cat_key = c.cat_key);

Do you think we can make this work using bulk collect method?

I visited your site Recently while seraching some tips for oracle db and found it is very helpfull. Your language and explanation is impressisve and understanadable for a normal person like me where my main work area is in Unix & Linux administartion.

Thanks brother and all the best.
