ORA-31626: job does not exist
ORA-31633: unable to create master table "TEST.SYS_EXPORT_FULL_05"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 95
ORA-06512: at "SYS.KUPV$FT", line 863
ORA-01950: no privileges on tablespace 'USERS'

Or,
ORA-31626: job does not exist
ORA-31633: unable to create master table "TEST.SYS_EXPORT_SCHEMA_01"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 95
ORA-06512: at "SYS.KUPV$FT", line 863
ORA-01536: space quota exceeded for tablespace 'USERS'

Cause of the Problem While exporting database objects a master table is created in the user's default tablespace. In above example in first case it is SYS_EXPORT_FULL_05 and in second case SYS_EXPORT_SCHEMA_01 under test schema. If user does not have quota on default tablespace then export operation fails.

Solution of the Problem
Check the default tablespace of user test by issuing,
SQL> select default_tablespace from dba_users where username='TEST';
DEFAULT_TABLESPACE
------------------------------
USERS

Solution 1)Grant sufficient quota to the default tablespace on user's default tablespace who is performing export operation. To do it as a dba user grant quota to test user in this example as is shown above error.
SQL>conn system/a
SQL>ALTER USER test QUOTA unlimited ON users;
If you don't want unlimited quota you can still give less for example 10M to default tablespace on user test like,
SQL>ALTER USER test QUOTA 10M ON users;

Solution 2)If user has quota on another tablespace then you can change the user default tablespace to another tablespace of test user.
To do this issue query from dba_ts_quotas to see on which tablespace user has sufficient quota,

SQL> select tablespace_name,username,bytes, max_bytes from dba_ts_quotas where username='TEST';

TABLESPACE_NAME                USERNAME                            BYTES  MAX_BYTES
------------------------------ ------------------------------ ---------- ----------
DATA                           TEST                                65536   10485760

As on tabespace data user has quota you can then change user default tablespace by,
SQL>ALTER user test default tablespace DATA;

Now you can able to perform export operation as test user.

ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected

Problem Symptom While performing a simple select statement it fails with error ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected like below. SQL> select 48*1024*1024*1024 decimal from dual; select 48*1024*1024*1024 decimal from dual * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected Cause of the problem The ORA-00923 can be caused by two different reasons. 1)Oracle itself expect FROM keyword in the position but it could not find any. Like below, SQL> select 48*1024 om dual; select 48*1024 om dual * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected As no from keyword found so error arises. Oracle expected from in place of keyword dual. 2)The secong cause can sometimes mislead you. Like in case of SQL> select 48*1024*1024*1024 decimal from dual; select 48*1024*1024*1024 decimal from dual * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where exp

How to make partitioning in Oracle more Quickly

As the table size grows and full table scans happens more frequently then there is no alternative than partitioning in oracle. Partition greatly enhance performance of a query. I will start my partitioning system simply with an example. In my database the following query took 30~35 seconds to complete. After partitioning the performance increased amazingly and it then took only 1 second. My query was, SELECT DISTINCT fs.type, fs.id , fs.pid, fs.cid , fs.cr_id, fs.created_date FROM summary fs where fs.id in (select fa.id from forms fa where fa.sar in (select la.sar from login la where la.login_id=1 and fa.created_date BETWEEN to_date('1-MAY-2008') AND to_date('21-SEP-2008') and fs.created_date BETWEEN to_date('1-MAY-2008') AND to_date('21-SEP-2008') ) )and mode=0; After seeing above query I decide to make range partition on column created_date both in summary table and forms table. Below is the list of procedur

Copy files between Unix and Windows with rcp

There are many third party tools by which you can copy files between windows and unix machine. Some common tools are winscp, SSHSecureShellClient etc. Instead of using any third party tool, you can use original unix and windows built-in tool to do the task. The RCP (Remote CoPy) is a standard UNIX tool and a Microsoft Windows 2000 tool that copies files/folder to and from computer running the RCP service. Before you can use the RCP tool from a Windows-based computer you must do something in your UNIX computer. you must turn on the RCP service and update the security files to allow the Windows-based computer to connect to your unix machine over this service. The following steps will help you. Step 01: Turn on RCP service on UNIX Host Turn on the RCP service on unix machine by using inetd: 1. Log on as root. 2. Edit the file /etc/Inetd.conf. 3. Uncomment the lines that start with shell and that start with exec. 4. Save the file. 5. Use ps -ef |grep inetd and determine inetd service p
