12.1.0.2 on AIX

just released today http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html

only in Enterprise Edition at the moment, and now available on HPUX, zLinux and AIX

This is the first and last patchset for 12cR1

to R1 or to R2

In the past, most of my customers skipped R1 releases. That is, 8.1.7 -> 9.2 -> 10.2 -> 11.2. SAP does the same. For the very first time SAP plans to go to 12.1.0.2 + some PSU in spring 2015. But only to avoid running out of support and without any fancy feature like Multitenant or in Memory.

12.1.0.2, which is not available on AIX yet, will be the last patchset of 12cR1. It is the first and only patchset for that release. It is actually more than a patchset, as it introduced in memory database and JSON in the database.

The next release is expected beginning of 2016 on Linux. 11.2.0.4 patching ends January 2018.

Should I I go to an already aborted release or should I buy extended support for 11.2.0.4 until 2018 ?

Probably I will go both ways, depending on the applications.

The new metalink interface

I just started using the New My Oracle Support User Interface

It is a zero-flash interface with more capabilities than the “html” interface we used the previous years. It still provides about the same browser experience as the flash one.

Have a try… according to Oracle : “it will eventually replace the Flash version”
To my French speaking readers : eventually does not mean “éventuellement” but rather “à l’occasion”.
Google Translate is quite ok this time : “elle finira par remplacer la version Flash”

_optimizer_random_plan parameter

I was trying to find a workaround for a bug in 11.2.0.2

SELECT * FROM
(SELECT 2 B FROM DUAL WHERE DUMMY = 'Y'),
(SELECT 3 C FROM DUAL WHERE DUMMY LIKE '%')
WHERE C = B(+);

B C
---------- ----------
2 3

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 4 | 4 (0)| 00:00:01 |
| 1 | NESTED LOOPS OUTER| | 1 | 4 | 4 (0)| 00:00:01 |
|* 2 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| DUAL | 1 | 2 | 2 (0)| 00:00:01 |
|* 3 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| DUAL | 1 | 2 | 2 (0)| 00:00:01 |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

As dummy is not Y, B could not be 2.

Ok, I tried :

alter session set "_optimizer_random_plan"=1;

SELECT * FROM
(SELECT 2 B FROM DUAL WHERE DUMMY = 'Y'),
(SELECT 3 C FROM DUAL WHERE DUMMY LIKE '%')
WHERE C = B(+);

B C
---------- ----------
3

Execution Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
Plan hash value: 837538736

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

|* 4 | FILTER | | | | |
|* 5 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| DUAL | 123K| 240K| 69180 |
-------------------------------------------------------------

Cool, I got correct results! the fact that the cost jumped from 4 to 27 Billions is just a minor annoyance I suppose 😈

I also tried

alter session set "_optimizer_random_plan"=0; -- default

alter session set "_complex_view_merging"=false;

SELECT * FROM
(SELECT 2 B FROM DUAL WHERE DUMMY = 'Y'),
(SELECT 3 C FROM DUAL WHERE DUMMY LIKE '%')
WHERE C = B(+);

B C
---------- ----------
3

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 5 | 2 (0)| 00:00:01 |
| 1 | NESTED LOOPS OUTER | | 1 | 5 | 2 (0)| 00:00:01 |

| 3 | VIEW | | 1 | 3 | | |
|* 4 | FILTER | | | | | |
|* 5 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| DUAL | 1 | 2 | 2 (0)| 00:00:01 |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cost is now 5 and instead of 4 and the results are correct

The first thing I did is opening a SR, now I am impatiently waiting for Oracle Support guidance…

Oracle 11.2.0.3

Just installed Oracle 11gR2 patchset 2 on Solaris Sparc 64bit, it works like a charm, waiting for the AIX patchset impatiently

my first ADR package

You got an internal error and want to create a zip of all relevant files.

First, let’s generate an internal error. I found a quick way to generate an ora-600 or an ora-700 (which is a harmless ora-600 in 11g, read 737878.1) on oradeblog

But did Oracle Support ever asked you for an ADR package? Or do they still ask for RDA

I used to select, zip and send traces files manually, I may consider ADR packages by my next ORA-600 !

11.2.0.2 for win32 and win64

patch 10098816 is available for download

11.2.0.2

I have read on Surachart Opun’s blog that 11.2.0.2 is available, but also that the patchset is now a full installation.

In the past, if you wanted to have 9.2.0.8 or 10.2.0.5, you needed to install both the base version, 9.2.0.1 or 10.2.0.1 and the patchset, 9.2.0.8 or 10.2.0.5. Very often the patchset itself was bigger and took more time than the base database installation.
According to Note 1189783.1, it is now possible to install 11.2.0.2 without having to install both 11.2.0.1 + a patchset.

if you are installing Oracle Database on a system without an existing Oracle Database installation, then you can simply install the release 11.2.0.2 patch set

I like this 🙂

dealing with support

It is quite a long time I did shot the pianist in my blog… probably patience and perseverance are better than aggressive behavior, but today I have been transfixed by an answer from metalink.

Sometimes the issues I submit are a bit exotic but there it was a join with one view using one function and dual returning wrong results. Reproducible at will on any db 10.2.0.4 and below.

After 2 weeks the helpful engineer told me it is fixed with patch 6471020 and in 11g. I asked if he tried it but he said no. As the patch is not available on my platform I asked if could try it but then he came back with an amazing workaround he became from an ARE (advanced resolution engineer) :

Remove the function from the view.

Oracle on Mac

I just read a post from Barry Mc Gillin about apex on MacOsX.

After having being using Vista for one year, I would really welcome a Mac as my next notebook. But what about Oracle Database on Mac OS X?

According to otn, the latest release as of today is a deprecated 10gR1 for the deprecated platform PowerPC.

However, according to metalink, a 10gR2 is planned for the first quarter of 2009 (sic)
Db 10gR2 on MacOS X Intel
And 11g is planned too Db 11gR1 on MacOS X Intel, Schedule to be announced.

DITO

I never used Oracle Web Conference OWC, for security reason. Today I created one SR and read first time about Demo It To Oracle (DITO). This is basically a link CamStudio.org, which is a tool that records AVI file and converts AVI to flash SWF file. This is nice to have because you do need to grant access to your desktop to Oracle Support and you can record what’s happening on your screen !

Let’s have a look

Software Configuration Manager

I just noticed today the Web 2.0 interface of metalink :

csm

The URL is http://csm.oracle.com, like Coftware Sonfiguration Manager (or maybe Configuration Software Manager).
[edit: original name is: Configuration Support Manager]

It seems nice, you can customize the portal with drag and drop, their is a blog too http://blogs.oracle.com/supportportal and a feedback button I am going to use right now!

Enjoy the new interface to read and update your SR 🙂
