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

----------------------------------------------------------------
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\SYSTEM01.DBF

E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\SHAIK\TEST_TBS01.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
shaikcl.__shared_pool_size=62914560
shaikcl.__streams_pool_size=0
*.audit_file_dest='F:\oracle\adump'
*.audit_trail='DB','EXTENDED'
*.background_dump_dest='F:\oracle\bdump'
*.compatible='10.2.0.1.0'
*.control_files='F:\oracle\control01.ctl',
'F:\oracle\control02.ctl','F:\oracle\control03.ctl'
*.core_dump_dest='F:\oracle\cdump'
*.db_block_size=8192
*.db_create_file_dest='C:\'
*.db_domain=''
*.db_file_multiblock_read_count=16
*.db_name='shaikcl'
*.db_recovery_file_dest_size=2147483648
*.db_recovery_file_dest='c:\test'
*.dispatchers='(PROTOCOL=TCP) (SERVICE=shaikclXDB)'
*.job_queue_processes=10
*.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=c:\test'
*.log_archive_dest_2='LOCATION=g:\'
*.log_archive_dest_3='LOCATION=USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST'
*.open_cursors=300
*.pga_aggregate_target=202375168
*.processes=150
*.remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE'
*.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
Redo Buffers 7139328 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-04062: timestamp of procedure has been changed

Problem Description In the database I have created one procedure named a as below. create or replace procedure a(a number) as begin insert into t1 values(1); commit; end; / Now after creating database link using remote database machine whenever I access this procedure "A" it executes successfully and I get value "1" in table t1. Like below in example where orastdby_m is the database link, shaik is the schema name and value 1 is the argument value though argument value is not used in the procedure. SQL> exec shaik.a@orastdby_m(1); PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. Now in the source database machine I changed the procedure as below. Though you can change anything like any literal; adding space or remove space. I changed value to be inserted from 1 to 2. create or replace procedure a(a number) as begin insert into t1 values(2); commit; end; / Now in the other database whenever I execute the procedure using database link it throws error ORA-04062.

ORA-00939: too many arguments -when case arguments exceed 255

Problem Description In all Oracle 10.1g and oracle 10.2.0.1, 10.2.0.2, 10.2.0.3 whenever there is more than 255 arguments inside CASE statements then following error is returned. ORA-00939: too many arguments for function But surprisingly on Oracle 9.2 database the same code does not return any error. Cause of the Problem As we see the same code return error in 10g but it is well on 9.2. In fact this is problem of oracle 9.2 that it does not return any error. It should return error if there is more than 255 arguments inside CASE statements. In oracle 9.2 this is bug number 2909927 and this bug is fixed in oracle 10.1 and 10.2. That's why in 10.2 and 10.1 error returns if arguments exceed 255. Up to Oracle 10.2.0.3 and earlier version, the arguments of CASE statement is limit to 255 and it does not support exceed over 255 and hence error return if it exceed. However in Oracle 10.2.0.4 and later the arguments limit of CASE statement has increased to 32767. Solution of the Problem Opt...

ORA-31655: no data or metadata objects selected for job

Problem Description You are going to do data pump export operation in order to export objects based on filtering via EXCLUDE or INCLUDE parameter of expdp. In this example you wanted tables 'ACCOUNT_GROUP','ADDRESS','AREA_GROUP' and all the tables starting with word CV(like 'CV', 'CV_EXPERIENCE', 'CV_EDUCATION' etc) Your parameter file is like below. userid=smilebd/a directory=d dumpfile=b.dmp include =TABLE:"IN('ACCOUNT_GROUP','ADDRESS','AREA_GROUP')" include =TABLE:"LIKE 'CV%' " And you invoke expdp as expdp parfile=d:\parfile.txt from command line.
