Admin Oracle

Oracle Database administration involves a comprehensive understanding of its architecture and various identifiers such as INSTANCE_NAME, DB_NAME, and ORACLE_SID. The Oracle Inventory is crucial for tracking all Oracle products installed.

Admin Oracle

Admin Oracle

Networking

To connect to a distant DB, you have to know :



When creating a DB, you have access to :




DB link

unidirectional link between 2 DB


example of DB link creation :

CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK rh_usa
CONNECT TO scott IDENTIFIED BY tiger USING 'conn_link';



Frequent Errors

ORA-12154 TNS : could not resolve service name

Local instance name not known in tnsnames.ora

Beware if the automatic suffix is defined in sqlnet.ora, in that case tnsnames.ora must take it into account


ORA-12203 TNS : unable to connect to destination

Listener not started, or address error in tnsnames.ora


ORA-12500 TNS : listener failed to start a dedicated server process

The listener is correct but DB not started


ORA-12505: TNS : Listener could not resolve SID given in connect descriptor
ORA-12514: TNS : Listener could not resolve the service name given in connect descriptor

SID or service name error in tnsnames.ora

OR the listener doest not listen DB connexions

OR DB is in dynamic declaration and is not started


ORA-12533 TNS : illegal ADDRESS parameters

Error in tnsnames.ora file


ORA-12545 TNS : name lookup failure

Error in tnsnames.ora file


ORA-12560 TNS : protocol adapter error

Windows error, can originate form service OracleService<instance_name> not started

OR ORACLE_SID missing or bad definition in local instance

OR ORACLE_HOME bad definition


ORA-1034 Oracle not available

DB not started

Network Manager

shell command : netmgr


This manager can help configure the different files, sqlnet.ora, tnsnames.ora and listener.ora


Server

To ensure that a client can reach the server, a listener must be set up initially to connect the client to the DB instance.

For this purpose, the file listener.ora describes the listener that is used.




The different files are located ar $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin

shell commands :


lsnrctl start

Starts the listeners reading the listener.ora


lsnrctl stop

Stop the listeners


lsnrctl status

Display listeners status


lsnrctl reload

Reload configuration

listener.ora

Descriptive file of the listener


2 parts to this file :



Example of file :


# listener.ora Network Configuration File: d:\oracle\ora112\NETWORK\ADMIN\listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = DEMO)
(SID_NAME = DEMO)
)
)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
)
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = oralocal)(PORT = 1521))
)
)
ADR_BASE_LISTENER = d:\oracle

Client

The client, to communicate with an Oracle server, must possess an Oracle client with TNS (Transaction Network Services) which connects to the server thanks to the listener (default port : 1521).

For this purpose, generally a file Tnsnames.ora is included in the Oracle Client (the goal is to shorten all the connexion parameters into an alias to simplify connexion)


Once the connexion is made between client and server, the listener is not used anymore.







tnsnames.ora

This file contains sqlnet alisases.


It contains 2 main things :


Example :


# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
PRODRH =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = PROD01)(PORT = 1522))
)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
)
)
DEMO =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = TEST01)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORATEST)
)
)


The shell command tnsping <tns_name> allows to see if the tns is valid

sqlnet.ora

Example of file for Windows :

# sqlnet.ora Network Configuration File: d:\oracle\ora112\NETWORK\ADMIN\sqlnet.ora
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
ADR_BASE = d:\oracle\ora112\log

Tables

Constraints

Constraints are verified after each operation


If constraints are specified as DEFERRABLE, they are verified after each transaction instead

Flashback

From the Oracle 10g version onwards, after an unwanted drop it is possible to restore the table for a period after the drop by using the flashback command.


Example of table restoration :

FLASHBACK TABLE nom_table TO BEFORE DROP;


After a drop / flashback, the constraints and indexes have their names modified, and foreign keys are not restored.

Transactions are :



Transaction lead to a COMMIT or a ROLLBACK

Option AUTOCOMMIT can be activated, after one or several transactions

Locks

SELECT instruction doesn't place lock

locking unit is data line


Locking is automatic on INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE (Exclusive type lock)


Use view DBA_WAITERS in case of locks for more info

MVCC

Multi Version Concurrency Control


Used to allow multiple reading of a table without placing locks

Undo segment

Used for transaction rollback, DB consistency and flashback operations

Oracle Architecture

Storage

Database accessed by an instance is divided in tablespaces



File System

Files

Physical representation of data, tables, index storage

DataFile management

How to alter Datafile size :

ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 'g:\oracle\oradata\oratest\data03.dbf' resize 50M;


How to create a Datafile :

ALTER TABLESPACE data
ADD DATAFILE 'g:\oracle\oratest\ora_data04.dbf' size 100M;


How to move or rename a Datafile :

ALTER TABLESPACE data OFFLINE NORMAL;
HOST move g:\oracle\oradata\oratest\data03.dbf f:\oracle\oradata\oratest\data03.dbf
ALTER TABLESPACE data RENAME DATAFILE 'g:\oracle\oradata\oratest\data03.dbf'
TO 'f:\oracle\oradata\oratest\data03.dbf';
ALTER TABLESPACE data ONLINE;


How to delete a Datafile :

shutdown immediate
startup mount
ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 'g:\oracle\oradata\oratest\data04.dbf'
OFFLINE DROP;
alter database open

OS Block

Tablespace

Tablespaces


A tablespace is a logical structure based on one or several datafiles (the physical structure equivalent), except for the TEMP tablespace who is based on a tempfile


List of differents tablespaces :



Different states of a tablespace : OFFLINE, READ WRITE and READ ONLY.


--


BigFile tablespaces exists, where a datafile is assigned to a tablespace with a limit of 128To

Tablespace Management

Example of tablespace creation :


CREATE TABLESPACE tsrhbigtab
DATAFILE 'd:\oracle\oradata\RH\tsrhbigtab01.dbf' SIZE 500M
AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 100M MAXSIZE 2000M
EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL [UNIFORM SIZE 10M]
SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;


The creation of the tablespace spurs the creation of the specified datafile.

The third line allows the file to autoextend if the 500M size is topped, up to the point of 2000M.

The fourth and fifth line are options for the storage management inside the file.


When the tablespace is created you can create a table associated with this tablespace :

CREATE TABLE emp ( empno NUMBER,name varchar(30),…)
TABLESPACE tsrhbigtab
PCTFREE 20
STORAGE (INITIAL 50M) ;


The PCTFREE command allows to reserve some space (in the exemple, 20%) inside a data block in case the table should be modified (e.g. adding columns)



How to put tablespace in READ ONLY :

ALTER TABLESPACE data READ ONLY;


How to delete a tablespace :

DROP TABLESPACE tsname
[INCLUDING CONTENTS [AND DATAFILES] ]
[CASCADE CONSTRAINTS]


Example :

DROP TABLESPACE tstab INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES;


How to rename a tablespace :

alter tablespace tbscomtpa RENAME TO tbscompta;

OMF

Oracle Managed Files


Simplified creation of tablespaces ; when this is active, you can just create tablespaces with simple commands such as :


create tablespace tstab;


To use that mode, you must first specify the attribute DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST which equas the destination folder where the tablespaces will be created

syntax

Segment

Segment


Space occupied by an object in a tablespace.

Different types of segments :


These types are more or less equivalent to their tablespace

Extent

DB Block

Process
Server process

1 per session

the server process transfers the datafiles modified to the data buffer cache, but does not execute the modifications


A PA is associated to each server process

MTS

Multi Thread Server


In MTS, each client process uses a shared server process already active and designated by a dispatcher.


In this mode, the User Global Area is located not in the PGA anymore, but in the SGA instead



The dispatcher puts the session in a queue and the first server process available will be assigned to the session


In Oracle 10g and later, you can switch dynamically to MTS with the following command :


alter system set shared_servers = 3;

Background process

Independant of user connexions

Launched at instance startup


Example of background process :


Transactions

A commit can end the transaction, validating the modifications in the DB

The transaction is then validated by LGWR by writing in the redo log file. After that, the server process can release the locks set up because of the transaction.

RDBM

Relational DataBase Management system


allows better performance, better data integrity and multi usage (competitive access)

Memory

PGA

Program Global Area / Private Global Area


Memory allocated at the beginning of each session.

Area where temporary variables are stocked (sorting options, session info, cursors state, stack space). Only contains information for Oracle processes.


The upper limit of space allocated can be defined with PGA_AGGREGATE_LIMIT (hard stop) for oracle 12c, or PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET (cap that he tries not to top) for oracle 9+

SGA

System Global Area


(should be dimensioned for 5-10% of data volume in size)

Redo Log Buffer

LGWR

Log Writer


Writes the queued transactions in an Online Redo Log

DBWn

DatabaseWriter n


Executes transactions written in the online Redo Log.

An Online Redo Log will not be archived before the Database Writer have not executed all the transactions of the Redo Log


DatabaseWriter also executes Checkpoints when needed

Database Buffer Cache

Blocks of data read in the disk

Contains data files


When a request is made, a whole block is loaded even for the simplest request

Checkpoints

Regularly, checkpoints will be triggered.


It means that the Database Files will be synchronized with the Online Redo Log transactions written in there. (as opposed to the normal state where Database Files are not necessarily in phase with the Redo Logs, the latter having all the transaction written, contrary to the former)


how to force a checkpoint :


alter system checkpoint;

Streams Pool

Serves for data streaming optimization (e.g. when using data pump)

Fixed SGA

Java Pool

Serves for java stored procedures

Large Pool

Shared Pool

Data dictionary cache

Library cache

Cache where recent requests are stored (the requests are stored, not the answers to this requests) to help recast them faster if needed.


To help reduce the size of this cache, requests with bind variables count as only one request even if the bind variale changes each time

Diagnostic

Logs

Redo Logs

When a transaction is made, several minutes can happen before physical datafiles are modified. The only file that is immediately modified is the Redo Log, which allows any user to know the new state.

The redo log is in that fact the sole witness of that transaction in that case, hence its criticality



how to add a redo log group :

ALTER DATABASE base ADD LOGFILE GROUP 4('pathfile/logfile.rdo', 'pathfile/logfile2.rdo') SIZE 20m;


how to add a redo log to a group :

ALTER DATABASE base
ADD LOGFILE MEMBER 'pathfile/logfile.rdo’
TO GROUP 1 ;

Online Redo Log

The redo logs save any modification in the DB and are critical to execute restorations or to track activity in the DB.


Several (e.g. 3) groups of redo log are being filled, one at a time. When all are filled, at least one is archived before being emptied and it starts all over again. A group can contain 1, 2 or even 3 logs.

In case of a spike of activity, groups can be added in the rotation to shield from the spikes.

Each redo log change is called SWITCH LOG. The current redo log used is the CURRENT LOG.


It is strongly advised to adjust the size of Redo Logs to have leverage on the frequency of SWITCH LOG


how to manually change current redo log :

alter system switch logfile;

Archived Redo Log

Consists of formerly Online Redo Log that have already been filled with logs.

Alert logs

Alert logs are logs tracing majors events, like :


name : alert_<SID>.log

ADR

Automatic Diagnostic Repository


Each component is assigned a folder associated to their ADR_HOME ; they are all located in ADR_BASE.

(warning : neither ADR_HOME or ADR_BASE are environment variable or Oracle parameters)

In ADR_HOME you have different folders which aggregates alert logs, diverses traces and so on.


The infrastructure of ADR is made to manage the whole cycle of life of errors : detection, saving, analysis, communication with Oracle support, correction, closing.


In ADR, a problem is related to a code, for example ORA-00600, where an incident is an instance of a problem ; you can have 10 incidents related to the same problem.


The command line ADRCI allows you to navigate inside the ADR.

For more info about what ADR contains, the following command details each folder :


select * from v$diag_info;


Dataguard

Implements a backup database thanks to "redo" transactions which allows to use physical standby database in the case where the primary database fails

Schema vs User

Schema = property

User = identity


To Oracle, Schema and User are quite the same notion.



Listener

Spfile (*.ora)

SPFILE



Contains the information for the database parameter.


it is located under :

OFA

Optimal Flexible Architecture



ORACLE BASE = u01/app/oracle
ORACE_HOME = u01/app/oracle/product/12.1/db_1


Control file

Describes database structure.

Necessary to start database instance (physical consistency)


At database startup, checks SCN (System Change Number) of each file ; if one file as a different number than the others (due to a restore for example), an alert is made


the control file thus contains :



You can see the control file of a databse via OEM in the menu Storage > Control file

Operating the database

Automatic startup/shutdown

UNIX :


in /etc/oratab file, for each instance put an entry of this type :


<ORACLE_SID>:<ORACLE_HOME>:{Y|N}


Example :

COURS:/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0:Y

the Y/N determines id the DB is booted automatically



Example of dbora script :


#!/bin/bash
# Les 2 commentaires "chkconfig" et "description" suivants sont OBLIGATOIRES
# On fournit liste_run_level, priorite_start, priorite_stop : 3,5 et 90, 10
# chkconfig: 35 90 10
# description: démarrage automatique d'Oracle
ORACLE_OWNER="oracle"
ORACLE_HOME="/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1"
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Lancement bases Oracle :"
su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart $ORACLE_HOME"
touch /var/lock/subsys/dbora
echo "OK"
;;
stop)
echo -n "Arret bases Oracle :"
su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut $ORACLE_HOME"
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/dbora
echo "OK"
;;
status)
ps -ef | grep pmon | grep -v grep
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status}"
esac


Then here are the shell commands to execute :

chgrp oinstall dbora
chmod 750 dbora
chkconfig --add dbora

Killing active sessions

Killing active sessions


Soft kill


first list the active sessions :


SELECT s.sid, s.serial#, s.osuser,s.program FROM v$session s


then kill the sessions by providing their sid and serial# , so given their respective values '33' and '5337':


ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION '33,5337' IMMEDIATE;


Hard kill

find the spid of a session with the below query :


SELECT s.sid,p.spid,s.osuser,s.program
FROM v$process p,v$session s 
WHERE p.addr = s.paddr and SID=33; 


then use orakill utility (windows) or kill and providing the value '410' for the corresponding spid:


kill -9 410

shutting down database

to shut down database, you have to specify the following syntax :


SHUTDOWN [ NORMAL | TRANSACTIONAL | IMMEDIATE | ABORT ]



to switch from OPEN to MOUNT state of DB, you have to shutdown the instance and reboot in MOUNT state



starting database

Starting the database


Starting the listener


lsnrctl start


Starting the database


export ORACLE_SID=COURS
sqlplus / as sysdba

then in sql*plus


> startup


It is possible to precise the state while starting the database for instance :

startup NOMOUNT 

States

When starting the database by the Startup command, you can specify the state in which you want to open it : NOMOUNT, MOUNT and OPEN

The corresponding instance status is respectively STARTED, MOUNTED and OPEN


Here is the code to switch states in a database :


alter database mount;
alter database open;


note that you cannot alter DB from nomount to open directly, you have to switch to the intermediary state MOUNT between

OPEN

The third state of a DB start, where all files are open and users can create tablespaces, tables and indexes

MOUNT

The second state of the DB start.


While in this state, someone with sysdba privilege can administer and modify the DB structure, as well as restore DB or even check the control file, but anyone else can not connect to the DB

NOMOUNT

The first state while starting the DB, where you can just create the DB, or re create the control file


This is a state where you can start an instance even though the database doesn't physically exist yet

Roles

Users
User Management

Profile

Users can be assigned profiles, which purpose is to set limits on different parameters (time per session, cpu consumption, or even password fails retries)


Each user is assigned a default profile when created, and it can be changed later (with OEM for example, or by command line)

Role

A role encompass several users to pool grants.

The classic usecase is that you create a role, give this role some privileges and then add users to this role

Grants

2 types of grants :



List of object privilèges :


Quota allocation

Example of quota allocation :

ALTER USER rhuser1 QUOTA UNLIMITED on TSRHTAB;
ALTER USER comuser1 QUOTA 0 on TSCOMTAB;

User Creation/Deletion

Example of user creation :

CREATE USER rh
IDENTIFIED BY passrh
DEFAULT TABLESPACE tsrhtab
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;


Example of user deletion :

DROP USER rh CASCADE;

(CASCADE also the schema associated to the user)

SYSTEM

Password file

Thanks to a password file located in :

$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw<BDDNAME>


To create the file :

orapwd file=<path> password=<sys-password> [entries=<#entries>] 





Remote connections

For security purposes, it is possible to disable remote connection if the parameter REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE.


Can be NONE or EXCLUSIVE




parameter files

Parameter Files


2 categories : pfile and spfile



It can be interesting in case of errors to generate the pfile from spfile in order to diagnose the possible problems due to bad conf.


named pfile<SID>.ora, init<SID>.ora or spfile<SID>.ora (spfile<SID>.ora is read if it exists, otherwise it tries to read pfile<SID>.ora or init<SID>.ora)


you can create spfile from pfile and conversely :


create spfile from pfile
create pfile from spfile

Feature and optimization Compatibility

Compatibility


Feature compatibility


It can be necessary to run the database under a particular version.

it is possible to do so by setting the compatible parameter value to a previous version.



Performance compatibility


It is also possible to use the optimization processes from a previous version.

this is driven by the optimizer_features_enable parameter





List of various important parameters
parameter modification

When modifying parameter, you can modify it either in memory (no persistence), in the spfile (only active in next startup) or both

example :


alter system set sga_target = 400M scope=BOTH;
