Funny situation was discovered recently by one of our customers. Actually, it was an incident with Core Banking System, so, in reality, it wasn’t Funny….
I have checked and found that this issue reproduces not only with customer’s database using software version 11.2.0.4, but with version 12.1.0.2 with latest Oracle Database Proactive Bundle Patch(160719) installed.

Here I’ll describe some strange/interesting/ behaviour of Global Application Context connected with usage of Session Client Identifier, that is quite usually met in Application Express, J2EE Agent, Oracle Data Integrator starting from release 11.1.1.7 and many other applications that uses JDBC Connection Pooling in conjunction with setting Session Client Identifier.

Based on NOTE:742060.1 Release Schedule of Current Database Releases:
Today I was contacted by one of our customers with very non-typical issue on their 10.2.0.4 database. They have added new column to one table at the middle of the day and now they are not able to compile some of invalidated packages.
Now I’m clarifying what does it mean ‘NOT ABLE TO COMPILE‘:
ALTER PACKAGE PKG_ERP_MAIN COMPILE; Package altered. SHOW ERR No errors. ALTER PACKAGE PKG_ERP_MAIN COMPILE BODY; Package body altered. SHOW ERR No errors. select object_type,status from dba_objects where object_name='PKG_ERP_MAIN'; OBJECT_TYPE STATUS ------------------- ------- PACKAGE VALID PACKAGE BODY INVALID
Funny! Isn’t ? Continue reading
I have faced quite interesting situation with Flashback Data Archive(FBDA) that wasn’t covered yet in blogosphere.
So I have just created new Flashback Archive and altered some tables specifying it(Flashback Archive).
Just after some time of any DMLs on altered tables next error appears in alert.log
Starting background process FBDA

Just short post about Something Coming Soon from mentioned note

COMING SOON!!! Stay Tuned

Still have to wait 😉
Despite the fact that there were some speculations that Oracle Database 12c will be released on 12.12.(20)12 to use the Magic of 3×12, this opportunity was missed by Oracle and Release 12c is still in Beta Testing period,
so we have to wait for the another ‘good’ moment like 3×13(12.13.[20]13) 😉
Later we’ll see if it add more power to new Release… 😉
I have been contacted by one of our customers to provide reference information on troubleshooting Oracle Log File Sync waits.
I think that this information worth short blog post.
