My first thought without looking anything up is that your password file is corrupt. Can you get to the server and log in as “sqlplus / as sysdba”? If so, then you need to recreate your password file or change the parameter <b>remote_login_passwordfile</b> to be “NONE”.

Subquery?
OK, if I understand correctly you want a query to show the first 10 characters of a name and its location. My first thought is you don’t specify the join column between customer.detail and customer.general. I am going to assume it is customercode. That makes the query look like this: select substr(b.customername,1,10) name from ( [...]

Truncate or not Truncate SQL
Truncate deletes all your data (w/o using rollback/undo) retaining the definition of the table (and the storage it used, if desired). Dropping the table deletes the data (w/o using rollback/undo) and removes the definition from the data dictionary and de-allocates the storage that was assigned to the table. Which one you want to use depends [...]

What is the PRAGMA_INIT exception?
Hi, Do you mean PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT? It’s a way of associating names with user-defined exceptions, so you that exception handlers can refer to them by name. Here’s an example from the Database Administrator’s Guide: <pre> DECLARE null_salary EXCEPTION; PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT(null_salary, -20101); BEGIN … RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20101, ‘salary is missing’); … EXCEPTION WHEN null_salary THEN … END; </pre>

Oracle View
Your where clause should read something like this: WHERE event.cdts >= TO_CHAR ((SYSDATE-4/24), ‘yyyymmdd’) Another issue is the data type of event.cdts. It should be a date field. This to_char statement strips off all the time elements of sysdate so it will show all records for the day that sysdate -4/24 equates to. If event.cdts [...]

Oracle 8i to Oracle 10g Export /Import
I’m not positive. Saw this <a href=”http://searchoracle.techtarget.com/expert/KnowledgebaseAnswer/0,289625,sid41_gci1192247,00.html”>question</a> which indicates that a direct upgrade to 10g release 2 is supported from 8.1.7.4 so I would guess that what you are trying with export/import from 8.1.6.0 would be possible. I think it’s worth trying first. After you use the 8i export, the 10g import utility will complain [...]
