    REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE = exclusive ?

    Rmcta-dude: I have written a push-button tool that takes a novice 'round the world' of an Oracle database. You can proceed in sequence to see what happens to a SQL statement from start to finish or you can jump to any button for quick reference. It's written in html so it runs in any browser...

    Sql loader: interpreting errors

    Dude: I don't know of a switch but if you print a desc of the table it's usually pretty easy to spot the problem. * Column length exceeded * Incorrect data type * Constraint violation ..are the commonest causes. rev

    PL-SQL Array Handling

    Dude: Sounds like a select statement needs to grab 'em and then the C code should read them from a cursor rather than an array. I don't really understand what you're doing but sometimes such a dummy thinks differently enough to produce a new idea. rev

    literal too long

    Dude: I don't understand any code but could it be that you're trying to insert those chars into a column that cannot contain that many? A varchar2(25) column, for example, will only allow 25 alphanumerics. Maybe the datatype on the column is wrong. rev

    How can I stop the Start Bar from appearing?

    Dude: You could find out what file(s) make the Start bar happen and rename them. You might then need something that deals with the resulting error message. rev

    IE 5.5 and Win 2000 - Right Click Delay

    Dude! Just so you know you ain't crazy, I've seen that too - it happens on my machine at work but not on my machine at home. The principal difference is networking stuff at the office that I don't have at home. I was about to complain when it improved. The only reason I can offer is that...

    Win 2k pro will not shutdown

    Dude: Rebooting is the system's default response to a system error. You can turn that response off (I forget how) and see the error instead. One possible fix might be to run a Repair from the CD and then apply SP3 again. rev

    Problem with new profiles in Win2k

    Dude: This is the kind of problem that often results from upgraging instead of using a fresh install. I don't think it can be fixed (other than by a fresh install) because they dropped the ball. rev

    Outlook Drops Attachments XP

    This is a setting inside outlook but I can't remember where it is - once you uncheck the box all will be well - but you have to find it first! Try the Outlook Help. rev

    Barcode Font not used

    Loren: Keep the fonts you need on a CD - when you find them missing, install them from the CD. rev

    How to remove checkdisk?

    Shirley dude: That means an error was detected and the system has decided to check for integrity. You'd be better off trying to find and fix the error. The system may be trying to reconcile conflicting information about the disk(s) - I would run a few disk utilities to see if they can identify...

    Do they actually mail you the OCA certificate?

    Dude: I recieved my certificate in the mail about 2 - 3 weeks after qualifying. There's probably a database trigger that initiates the process! I don't know what's to stop people claiming certification or forging OCP certificates. rev

    IE v 6.0 hangs

    Dude: I believe you can vaporize the BIOS by putting a thin card under the battery contacts for a while. Then you can try flashing it again. rev

    Excel and Word open docs slowly

    I'm with Jocsta, we've had ridiculous problems at work in which the virus checker wants to open 2 and 300 meg zip files and check everything in them. It reached a point where we dare not click on some drive letters in the network for fear of exactly whar you report. revnice

    protocol adapter error?

    Dude: You can get Protocol Adapter Error because you specified an incorrect connect string. Beq-Local and TCP-Loopback are examples of Protocol Adapters. rev

    Why this PL/SQL very slow?

    Dude: With 60,000 + records and no indexes your query forces full a full table scan to occur. It must first perform the inner select statement and then perform the update on that result set. The system may need to dynamically allocate additional extents to the temporary sort segment assuming...

    Word 97 file display prob!

    Dude: Sounds like the Registry is confused. When you go to tools / options / file locations and change the location, you're correcting the problem 'on the fly', which is only good for that session, when you reopen Word it's looking to the Registry for the default location and can't find it...

    what is an unhandled exception?

    Kim: In programming, particularly Oracle's PL/SQL, an 'exception' is an error. You can trap various kinds of errors in PL/SQL by specifying the likely ones in the code and having your program produce a message to go with each one. An 'unhandled exception' is one that the programmer did not...

    Oracle 9i AS Installtion Problem

    Ravi dude: Oracle screwed up the markers on the disk set so it asks for a disk that was already in the drive and refuses the one you inserted when prompted. Here's what you do: * Make three folders called Disk1, Disk2 and Disk3. * Copy the CD's to the appropriate folder * Start the...

    Not allowing to delete history

    Dude: I suspect you want to see where users have been? If so, you can use any number of keystroke loggers (free download) that start on bootup and record every keystroke (or mouse click) for every session. You can read a log file to track use of the computer including what they deleted. rev
