Dropping user hanging

Today I requested that while dropping user request hanged after some time.

Let`s to check:

-bash-3.00$ sqlplus "/as sysdba"

SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production on Wed Oct 23 15:52:36 2013

SQL> drop user fcjlive cascade;


Checking alert log

--checking alertlog

-bash-3.00$ tail -50 alert_PROD.log

Opening another session and checking object counts.

SQL> select count(1) from dba_objects where owner='FCJLIVE';

  COUNT(1)
----------
     40504

SQL> /

  COUNT(1)
----------
     40465

SQL>

As you see count is decrease. But after some period it hanged.

drop user fcjlive cascade
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-24005: must use DBMS_AQADM.DROP_QUEUE_TABLE to drop queue tables

I checking queue tables of mentioned user.

Select OWNER, QUEUE_TABLE from dba_queue_tables where owner = 'FCJLIVE'

no rows.

But there was not any queue table. Suddenly I remember there was error related jobs.

ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job 3149

select * from dba_jobs where job=3149;

Drop job:

exec dbms_job.remove(3149);
commit;

Now execute above statement again.

    1. Dear Shameem, first of all sorry for late response. Which version of Oracle you have? Could you provide me last 20 rows of alertlog (when you drop user)? Also check user`s objects, jobs

Rman encryption and other techniques

Today I will demonstrate Recovery Manager features, especially encryption and some other techniques. First of all let me note about RMAN backup encryption. Staring from Oracle 10g RMAN now creates encrypted backups that cannot be restored by unauthorized people. There are 3 modes of backup encryption: * Transparent encryption * Password encryption * Dual-mode encryption using either transparent or password encryption All RMAN backups are not encrypted but you can encrypt any RMAN backup in the form of a backup set. In this tutorial I will show you how to configure Password encryption. Let`s finish talking and start to demonstrate. check parameters with "SHOW ALL" command, by default encryption is OFF RMAN> show all; RMAN configuration parameters are: CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON; CONFIGURE CONTR...

ORA-03206: maximum file size of (5242880) blocks in AUTOEXTEND clause is out of range

Today when I want to change max size of datafile I got strange error. ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/MYDB/users01.dbf' AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE 32GB ORA-03206: maximum file size of (5242880) blocks in AUTOEXTEND clause is out of range Here is reason: The maximum file size for an autoextendable file has exceeded the maximum number of blocks allowed. After research internet I found that instead of using 32GB we can use 32767M. (same values but in MB). Or you may use 31GB too. ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/MYDB/users01.dbf' AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE 32767M;
