if you really need to quickly find the latest partition per table, I have written this little gem WITH FUNCTION d (b BLOB, len number) RETURN DATE IS d DATE; BEGIN IF DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR (b, 1, 1) = hextoraw(’07’) and len=83 THEN DBMS_STATS.convert_raw_value (DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR (b, 12, 2), d); ELSE d := NULL; END IF; RETURN d; […]
You need to check the high_value from dba_tab_partitions. Or you you could metadata. With metadata, it is not a long, it either clob or clob-xml. SELECT t.table_name, MAX ( TO_DATE ( REGEXP_SUBSTR ( EXTRACT ( (VALUE (x)), ‘HIBOUNDVAL’).getStringVal (), ‘ \d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}’), ‘YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI;:SS’)) high_value FROM user_tables t, TABLE ( XMLSEQUENCE ( EXTRACT ( xmltype […]
Many many moons ago I vaguely remember having a similar issue with java keystore / truststore and microsoft certificates stores. When you start using SSL for your listener, you could potentially face a large number of issues amoung your toolsets. In my opinion, the most disastrous one is that you cannot monitor your database with […]
If you configure your listener for encryption only, you do not really need authentication. It works pretty fine until 11.2.0.2, I wrote multiple posts on ssl. You add SSL_CLIENT_AUTHENTICATION=FALSE to your server sqlnet.ora and listener.ora and specify an “anon” cipher suite in your client. You do not need to validate the certificate, so a default […]
