RE: Oracle
You mean, IBM admits it's full of bugs. We're testing other versions now. It wasn't real fun being in a restore situation and finding out your backup tapes had bugs in them.... -----Original Message----- From: Dirk Moolman [mailto:DirkM@mxgroup.co.za] Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2005 8:20 AM To: Hamilton, Jerry; Cesae Cruz; Sebastian, Norma J.; informix-list@iiug.org Subject: RE: Oracle But then again - Informix also admits that 9.21 is full of bugs, and that people should migrate off that release asap. I wonder if the same issues are in other versions. ________________________________________ From: Hamilton, Jerry [mailto:hamiltoj@fleishman.com] Sent: 03 February 2005 04:11 PM To: Dirk Moolman; Cesae Cruz; Sebastian, Norma J.; informix-list@iiug.org Subject: RE: Oracle Yes really....' Please read.....' I'm sure there are'others.....' This is the bug we hit..... ' Bug: 153256 POINT IN TIME RESTORE DOES NOT WORK IF THERE IS AN OPEN TRANSACTION THAT STARTED BEFORE LOG WHERE LEVEL 0 BACKUP STARTED Description: This is a regression of bug fix 103496. When we do a point in time restore we clear too much logical logfiles on disk. If we have an open transaction that started in a logfile before the logfile where the archive level 0 started, which is base of the pit restore, the pit restore will fail because we clear too much logfiles. We start clearing at lgr->lgr_start_id, which is ar_logid of archive_t structure, but we should start at lgr->lgr_oldlogid. This bug is fixed in 9.21.FC7 and above. You are currently on 9.21.FC6X5, I have talked to my manager and we should be able to create a patch for you, if you would like that.

I'll probably get smarter as I get to know Oracle better. But it beats me how they ignore the extent and disk layout issue. I come from an Informix world where I'm used to spreading load, planning extent sizes, etc. :-o Dirk Moolman Database and Unix Administrator MXGROUP "People demand f! reedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use." sending to informix-list ============================================================ The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
