From: James Koopmann <JKOOPM1_at_TANDY.COM> Subject: lost view

fellow users,
i have come across an interesting problem that i hope someone else has come across and solved. our database has a view , composed of six tables and uses the outer join facility. this view has been in production
for about 4 months with no problem. yesterday users were no longer able to select or even describe the object when it was there and all had select access on it. i ended up dropping the view, synonym and revoking access ; i then recreated the view , synonym and privileges and all was fine. after the users bang on the view for about 20-30 minutes (with no problems)
the view becomes inaccessible again. this is not an authorization problem, the owner can not even describe or select from the view. please reply if you have had a similar experience. I will also repost the solution if it comes from oracle (or this list) and is solved.

Jim,
  I tried both and 0001 goes in, 9999 is out of range (-4731 to +4731 I think it said were valid). I tried selecting the 0001 and it displays in default dd-mon-yy format, but when I try to convert it to yyyy I get 'invalid' number.

From: "Frees, Bill" <BFREES_at_FTCMPD4TH.FTCOLLINSCO.NCR.COM> Subject: Automating hot standby db

Is there a way to FULLY automate a hot standby database? (besides waiting for V7.3).

Surely, this has been successfully implemented by some of you out there.  The problem lies in the fact that when doing a RECOVER AUTOMATIC to automatically apply the archive logs to the standby database, it never stops to say media recovery complete (even though it is). I have to say CANCEL when it looks for the next log that hasn't even been created yet. Talking with Oracle analyst #2, she said that this was the way it worked, and there was no way to fully automate what I was trying to do. Their technical bulletin on standby databases is of no help either.

We're running V7.1.6 on ATT 3000.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Mark,

What is your TERM and DISPLAY environment var set to? I've seen this problem during the use of the monitor function with Server Manager when these were not set correctly.

Does the same thing occur when you use a CMD-Tool or Shell-Tool window? Does it dump as soon as you select 'monitor' or after the first poll? Does it occur if TERM is set to xterm, DISPLAY is set to <host>:0.0 and ORACLE_TERM is set to (sun, sun5, or xterm)? Are you trying to display onto a Sun box or an intel box? Is there an emulator involved?

This is a known bug. Call Oracle Support and ask them for the patch and everything should be ok.
