Greetings Bijoo: An outstanding job. Unfortunately I just came about visiting your site for the first time. It can be used as a quick reference by any level dba while at work looking for the forgotten commands or tips. I have two quick suggestions. 1. Add more Unix scripts for automating jobs such as backup, tuning and checking the health of the database through cron for example. 2. Include a chatline to your site so the users can get instant help onlie if required. Overall, I believe you have done a fantastic job. Cheers Kianoosh

I want to add up few tips of making jobs faster. If you know that you are going to insert several thousands of records in a table, in the code, drop all the existing index on the table, load the data, recreate the index and analyze the table. It will improve the performance significantly

I am totally new to IT world. Currently, I am pursing a career in management information systems. I am going to graduate with B.S(MIS). Since, I have six more months to graduate, I am looking forward to do Oracle. I am not sure how to start? I am not planning to do oracle in a computer institute. I want to do a self study. I have few books on oracle and a personal version of oracle. Please can you help me to sort my career right. Since, I want to do OCP in the future, I would like to know the learning methods.... '"where to start and where to stop". I had browsed many oracle websites but unfortunately, I was not able get any clear cut method of preparation. Please send me a few information. I really appreciate for your time. BIJU U HAVE A GREAT WEBSITE. I HAVE GONE THROUGH YOUR BOOKS. I WANT TO BE LIKE YOU IN THE NEAR FUTURE

I need guys who really know the in and outs and can give techi guys a bashing for their moneys worth. Until then Cheers!!!

I just purchased the OCP SQL and PL/SQL guide that you co-authored. I've noticed a few errors within the first 2 chapters I've read. 1. Question 15 of the assessment test on page xxxii. None of the choices are correct because they do not specify the procedure name only the package name. 2. Chapter 1, Question 8 on page 58 has an incorrect answer. It is the answer to Question 9 which in turn has the wrong answer listed. 3. Chapter 2, page 73, SUBSTR procedure has been incorrectly described. Counting is backwards if "i" is negative not "j". Result is null if "j" is negative not "i". "j" does not default to 1. The entire string from position "i" is selected if "j" is not specified. "i" = 0 or 1 gives the same result, the string starts from the first character.

GREAT SITE. I can't tell you how many times I've used/referenced stuff on your pages since I became the dba at my company. Don't know if you need this, but in case you want to update (uniqify) a row instead of deleting it, this is the code I use: (pretty much stolen from your delete duplicates routine... :) update TABLENAME set COLUMN = COLUMN||PK where rowid not in (SELECT MIN(rowid) from TABLENAME group by COLUMN1, COLUMN2, COLUMN3...);
