    UDB AIX replication

    Considering using UDB V8 replication AIX-to-AIX. I wanted to do a check with some of you who may have implemented it, to see if there was a positive pattern of stability, accuracy, etc. (versus being error-prone) with this product before I start charging head-in. Thanks Thomas V. Flaherty...

    ORACLE9i Recursive SQL error with Partitioned tables

    Materialized Views

    Anyone have any useful experience with MVs in 9iR2? I cannot get a FAST refresh to work with an Outer-Join non-Aggregate MView. The Explain_MView results say "the unique constraints does not exist on the join columns of the inner table" when I clearly have a Primay Key (Unique)...

    Using Aggregation in SQL queries from VB to Action Request System

    Your syntax looks ok. The fact that you have quotes around the column with spaces is a good thing. Have you tried aggregating on a different column...one that has a name with no spaces, just in case that's the problem? If so, maybe your ODBC driver is outdated? Thomas V. Flaherty Jr. Birch...

    Alter sequence

    In order to reset the starting number, you have to drop and recreate the sequences. You cannot do this using ALTER SEQUENCE. Thomas V. Flaherty Jr. Birch Hill Technology Group, Inc. http://www.birchhillgroup.com

    agregate fctions for Strings?

    Since you dont know how many words there are in each message (I'll also assume that each Message can have a variable number of words), you probably have to do this in a procedural fashion. I can show the pseudo-code/logic but I do not know Access well enough to tell you it can be done. It...

    oracle instance running ??

    A quick check on Solaris is: $ ps -aef | grep pmon ecomdbdev50% ps -aef | grep pmon oracle 1609 1 0 Sep 06 ? 0:00 ora_pmon_<instance> As you can see, any results that come back will tell you what instances are running. If you cannot connect, this is one way. Thomas V...

    Explain Plan

    Not sure how far you have gone, so I'll start from square-1. You need to create the PLAN_TABLE, which holds the execution plan details for a query you want to analyze. The script to do this is found in: $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlxplan.sql Once you have this table in place, you need to add...

    List of Required Items in a DB

    For a robust, good relational design, you need 3 tables (you can show the data from these 3 tables in a single form but do not confuse data design with application/form design - they are 2 entirely different things). Table#1: Employee EmpNumber -- this is the key value, a 'natural' key if...
