RE: Plain Old Database

Hey Ron,

We had the same problem with having to run catrep after a patch (and then the .4 minipack) in 8.1.7 on HP. We really didn't *have* to run it, but it would have left dozens of invalid SYS objects, so I chose to incur the slight storage overhead of just running it.

Jay,
I had a problem with a full export of a database because all of the items were not present. They were not activated but the export script expected the references to them to be present. This is how the problem came about;
OS OpenVMS 7.3-1
Oracle 8.1.7 rel3
first instance created during oracle install with the oracleins. first instance up and running.
create second instance with oracleins and the catalog and catrep were not instructed to be run.
Full export failed looking for the references created but the initial run of catproc.(sys.dbsm_repcat_rgt_exp)

The problem was fixed by running the catalog and carrepc.

The upgrade info for upgrading from 8.1.7 to 8.1.7.4 now state that you have to run the catalog and catrep. even if you do not use replication. The option is not turned on and doesn't appear on the startup banner. Ron

  I am preparing to migrate from 8.1.7 to 9.0.2. I was just wondering if I am the only DBA that doesn't like all of this other "stuff" in my database - Ultrasearch, Intermedia, Oracle Text, and XML. I used dbca to generate my database creation scripts, so I could understand what the tool is doing to create the database. I've gone through and commented out these things that we won't be using. Am I in left field on this, or are others installing these options/products "in case" they need them later on (assuming you don't have an immediate need for them)? Same question for the http listener - are most dbas installing it and using it?
  Just curious.

Thanks,
Jay
