How to clone database on the same host with different name

Step by steps cloning operation is described below. The scenario is,
-Source database shaik be cloned as shaikcl

-Datafile named E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\SHAIK\*.dbf will be cloned as F:\ORACLE\SHAIKCL\*.dbf

-Controlfile named E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\SHAIK\*.ctl will be cloned as
F:\ORACLE\*.CTL

-In cloned database adump,bdump,cdump,udump will be located in F:\ORACLE\*dump

Step 01:
In source database identify the datafile location and redo logfile location.
On windows machine,
C:\Documents and Settings\Queen>set ORACLE_SID=shaik

On linux based machine,
$export ORACLE_SID=shaik

C:\Documents and Settings\Queen>sqlplus / as sysdba

Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options

SQL> col file_name format a70
SQL> set linesize 160
SQL> select file_name, file_id from dba_data_files;
FILE_NAME FILE_ID
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------

----------------------------------------------------------------
E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\SHAIK\REDO02.LOG
E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\SHAIK\REDO01.LOG

Step 02:
Create a pfile from source spfile and controfile trace from source controlfile.
SQL> create pfile='f:\pfile.ora' from spfile;

File created.

SQL> alter database backup controlfile to trace as 'f:\controlfile.ctl';

Database altered.

On linux based system as linux file structure to save controlfile. Like instead of f:\controlfile.ctl use /oracle/controlfile.ctl

Step 03:
Shutdown the source database.
SQL> shut immediate;
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.

Step 04:
Create the required directory for the cloned database. You should do this step in previous.
SQL> host
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\Queen>mkdir f:\oracle

C:\Documents and Settings\Queen>mkdir f:\oracle\shaikcl

On unix based machine adjust the location as you wish to create clone database.
Step 05:
Copy datafiles and redo log files to the location of f:\oracle\shaikcl
C:\Documents and Settings\Queen>copy E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\SHAIK\*.dbf f:\oracle\shaikcl
E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\SHAIK\EXAMPLE01.DBF
E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\SHAIK\SYSAUX01.DBF

E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\SHAIK\UNDOTBS01.DBF
E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\SHAIK\USERS01.DBF
7 file(s) copied.

C:\Documents and Settings\Queen>copy E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\SHAIK\*.log f:\oracle\shaikcl
E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\SHAIK\REDO01.LOG
E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\SHAIK\REDO02.LOG
E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\SHAIK\REDO03.LOG
3 file(s) copied.

Step 06:
At this stage task with the source database is finished. Edit the pfile f:\pfile.ora and change parameter control_files, db_name, different dump directory in order to reflect cloned database name and location.
On windows,
C:\Documents and Settings\Queen>notepad f:\pfile.ora
shaikcl.__db_cache_size=25165824
shaikcl.__java_pool_size=4194304
shaikcl.__large_pool_size=4194304

*.db_recovery_file_dest='c:\test'
*.dispatchers='(PROTOCOL=TCP) (SERVICE=shaikclXDB)'
*.job_queue_processes=10
*.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=c:\test'

*.sga_target=104857600
*.undo_management='AUTO'
*.undo_tablespace='UNDOTBS1'
*.user_dump_dest='F:\oracle\udump'

On linux based system use as, $vi pfile.ora
Step 07:
Edit the created text controlfile and change the database name along with logfile and datafile location and use SET DATABASE database_name in the controlfile creation script.

On windows,

C:\Documents and Settings\Queen>notepad f:\CONTROLFILE.CTL
STARTUP NOMOUNT PFILE='F:\PFILE.ORA'
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE SET DATABASE "shaikcl" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG
MAXLOGFILES 16
MAXLOGMEMBERS 3
MAXDATAFILES 100
MAXINSTANCES 8
MAXLOGHISTORY 292
LOGFILE
GROUP 1 'F:\ORACLE\SHAIKCL\REDO01.LOG' SIZE 50M,
GROUP 2 'F:\ORACLE\SHAIKCL\REDO02.LOG' SIZE 50M,
GROUP 3 'F:\ORACLE\SHAIKCL\REDO03.LOG' SIZE 50M
DATAFILE
'F:\ORACLE\SHAIKCL\SYSTEM01.DBF',
'F:\ORACLE\SHAIKCL\UNDOTBS01.DBF',
'F:\ORACLE\SHAIKCL\SYSAUX01.DBF',
'F:\ORACLE\SHAIKCL\USERS01.DBF',
'F:\ORACLE\SHAIKCL\EXAMPLE01.DBF',
'F:\ORACLE\SHAIKCL\TEST_TBS01.DBF'
CHARACTER SET WE8MSWIN1252
;
On unix based system open the controlfile with any editor software and then edit.
Step 08:Avoid this step if you are on unix based system. On windows, with oradim create new oracle service shaikcl. However if you are on unix machine then simply ignore this step.
C:\Documents and Settings\Queen>oradim -new -sid shaikcl
Instance created.

Step 09:
Set environmental variable to shaikcl and connect to instance as sysdba.
C:\Documents and Settings\Queen>set ORACLE_SID=shaikcl
On unix based system, export ORACLE_SID=shaikcl
C:\Documents and Settings\Queen>sqlplus / as sysdba

Connected to an idle instance.
Step 10:
Run the controlfile creation script.
On windows,
SQL> @f:\controlfile.ctl
ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area 104857600 bytes
Fixed Size 1247516 bytes
Variable Size 71304932 bytes
Database Buffers 25165824 bytes

Control file created.

On unix based system run the modified controlfile script where you saved.

Step 11:
Open the database with resetlogs option.
SQL> alter database open resetlogs;
Database altered.

Check the cloned database name.
SQL> show parameter db_name
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
db_name string shaikcl

You can check the cloned database datafile location.
SQL> select file_name from dba_data_files;

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
