Yesterday I attempted to upgrade an 8.1.5 prod database to 8.1.6.1, running HP/UX 11.0. The initjvm.sql did not complete successfully - it died on a timeout error. Also, the rmjvm.sql script did not complete successfully, it died on an exec rmjvm.run(TRUE) error. I spent the entire night on the phone with support, they had no clue. They wanted me to modify the database with dbassist (pointy-clicky, YUCK) and dbassist didn't run correctly, either. Their answer of course is to install the 8.1.6.2 patch, which must be newly available. We ended up reverting back to 8.1.5 after seven hours of anguish.

I am now going to do a fresh install & export/import upgrade, I don't expect the upgrade scripts to work after the patch. Has anyone encountered the same type of errors? Or has anyone installed the 8.1.6.2 upgrade for HP/UX? Comments anyone?

This is just so appropriate....

 Subject: RE: previous DBA job posting

Yesterday I saw a posting for a job in Richmond, Va. and this morning a friend asked me if there were any jobs available in the Richmond area. Is there an archive for this mailing list and if so how do I get there from here?

TIA
Al

 Subject: Sysdate problem......

Hi list,

I've just restored (copy from physical backup) the database and now have strange problem in sysdate : sysdate does not take the correct time and the minute part does not move forward.

SQL> !date
Wed Sep 6 09:39:14 CDT 2000

SQL> select to_char(sysdate,'HH:MM:SS') from dual;

TO_CHAR(

--------      Note : not getting value from system date
09:09:57             ,It should be 09:39:15

SQL> / TO_CHAR(



09:09:59

SQL> / TO_CHAR(
-------- Note : The minute should be 10, not 09. 09:09:01

Oracle 805 on Solaris 26.
Thanks for any clue.

I had a similar problem. I downloaded the latest version of ODBC driver from oracle.com and now it works without any errors. You can try that out.
