ORA-01552: cannot use system rollback segment for non-system tablespace 'USERS'

ORA-01552: cannot use system rollback segment for non-system tablespace 'USERS'

1) find the status of your rollback segments by using the following query. You will find that your tablespace status is offline. Alter the tablespace to online.

SQL> select segment_name, tablespace_name, initial_extent,status
2 from dba_rollback_segs;

SEGMENT_NAME TABLESPACE_NAME INITIAL_EXTENT STATUS
--------------            ---------------                --------------           -------
SYSTEM                  SYSTEM                       57344                      ONLINE
ASHOKAN                 SYSTEM                       16384                      OFFLINE


2) alter rollback segment to online status.

SQL> alter rollback segment ASHOKAN online;
Rollback segment altered.

Now, you should be able to create table and manipulate your tables. To the following to see whether your undo rollback segments are MANUAL or AUTO..

SQL> show parameter undo

NAME                                            TYPE       VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- --------------------
undo_management                           string          MANUAL

ALTER SYSTEM SET UNDO_MANAGEMENT=AUTO scope=spfile;

3) If the value of undo_management is AUTO, then do the following.

Create an UNDO tablespace to automatically create UNDO segments set online immediately.

SQL> create undo tablespace UNDOTBS2
2 datafile '/oracle/ora11/oradata/orcl/undotbs01.dbf' size 10M;
Tablespace created.

And remove your Manual UNDO Rollback segments.

SQL> create table mytable (mycolumns number) tablespace users;
Table created.

Now, still you should not have any problem.

Oracle recommends you to use the Automatic Undo for your rollback segments. If the database is set in Automatic Undo Management (AUM) mode - it must have at least one UNDO tablespace.

Notice that when the database is using Automatic Undo Management, but no UNDO tablespace is available at the time the error was received.

You could find out when the database is using Automatic Undo Management by to check the following parameters:

SQL> show parameter undo

NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- --------------------
undo_management string AUTO
undo_retention integer 900
undo_suppress_errors boolean TRUE
undo_tablespace string

    Changes 
    REDHAT 5 kernel 2.6.18-194.el5 #1 SMP Tue Mar 16 
    Oracle 11.2.0.2 Single Instance 
    IBM: Linux on System z 
    Cause 
    Recent linux kernels have a feature called Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR). 
    ASLR  is a feature that is activated by default on some of the newer linux distributions. 
    It is designed to load shared memory objects in random addresses. 
    In Oracle, multiple processes map a shared memory object at the same address across the processes. 
     
    With ASLR turned on Oracle cannot guarantee the availability of this shared memory address. 
    This conflict in the address space means that a process trying to attach a shared memory object to a specific address may not be able to do so, resulting in a failure in shmat subroutine. 
     
    However, on subsequent retry (using a new process) the shared memory attachment may work. 
    The result is a random set of failures 
    Solution 
    It should be noted that this problem has only been positively diagnosed in Redhat 5 and Oracle 11.2.0.2. 
    It is also likely, as per unpublished BUG:8527473,  that this issue will reproduce running on Generic Linux platforms running  any Oracle 11.2.0.x. on Redhat/OEL kernels which have ASLR.  
     
    ASLR also exists in SLES10 and SLES 11 kernels and by default ASLR is turned on, however, to date not problem has been seen on SuSE. 
     
    You can verify whether ASLR is being used as follows: 
     
     # /sbin/sysctl -a | grep randomize 
    kernel.randomize_va_space = 1 
     
    If the parameter is set to any value other than 0 then ASLR is in use. 
    On Redhat 5 to permanently disable ASLR. 
    add/modify this parameter in /etc/sysctl.conf 
    kernel.randomize_va_space=0 
    kernel.exec-shield=0 
     
    You need to reboot for kernel.exec-shield parameter to take effect.  
    Note that both kernel parameters are required for ASLR to be switched off.

Bulk collect is the bulk binding syntax for select statements.(Performance tuning - PL/SQL)


Bulk Collect


Executing sql statements in plsql programs causes a context switch between the plsql engine and the sql engine.
Too many context switches may degrade performance dramatically. In order to reduce the number of these context
switches we can use a feature named bulk binding. Bulk binding lets us to transfer rows between the sql engine and the plsql engine as collections.
Bulk binding is available for select, insert, delete and update statements.

Bulk collect is the bulk binding syntax for select statements. All examples below are simplified versions of the live cases i have seen.

One of the things i usually come across is that developers usually tend to use cursor for loops to process data. They declare a cursor, open it, fetch from it row by row in a loop and process the row they fetch.


SQL> create table a_all_objects as select * from all_objects;

Table created.

SQL> select count(*) from a_all_objects;

  COUNT(*)
----------
     90154

SQL> insert into a_all_objects select * from a_all_objects;

90154 rows created.

SQL> /

180308 rows created.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

SQL> set timing on
SQL> declare
cursor c1 is select OBJECT_NAME from a_all_objects;
      rec1 c1%rowtype;
  begin
  open c1;
  loop
     fetch c1 into rec1;
     exit when c1%notfound;

     null;

  end loop;
  end;
  /

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> declare
 cursor c1 is select OBJECT_NAME from a_all_objects;
  type c1_type is table of c1%rowtype;
  rec1 c1_type;
  begin
  open c1;

     fetch c1 bulk collect into rec1;


  end;
  /

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.37
SQL>

SQL> alter system flush buffer_cache;

System altered.

As can be clearly seen, bulk collecting the rows shows a huge performance improvement over fetching row by row.

The above method (which fetched all the rows) may not be applicable to all cases. When there are many rows to process,
 we can limit the number of rows to bulk collect, process those rows and fetch again. Otherwise process memory gets bigger and bigger as you fetch the rows.


SQL> declare
cursor c1 is select object_name from a_all_objects;
  type c1_type is table of c1%rowtype;
  rec1 c1_type;
  begin
  open c1;
  loop
     fetch c1 bulk collect into rec1 limit 200;
     for i in 1..rec1.count loop
             null;
     end loop;
     exit when c1%notfound;
  end loop;
  end;
  /

ORACLE: sql - JOIN vs IN vs EXISTS and JOIN vs NOT IN vs NOT EXISTS the logical difference

ORACLE: sql - JOIN vs IN vs EXISTS  and JOIN vs NOT IN vs NOT EXISTS the logical difference

There is a common misconception that IN behaves equaliy to EXISTS or JOIN in terms of returned results.

This is simply not true. To see why not, let's review what each statement does.



IN:

Returns true if a specified value matches any value in a subquery or a list.

Exists:

Returns true if a subquery contains any rows.

Join:

Joins 2 resultsets on the joining column.



If not read carefully it looks pretty same so far, doesn't it.

The difference comes when you take into account the "dreaded" THREE-VALUED LOGIC.

Let's review that also:


-- this is true
SELECT 1 from dual  WHERE 1 = 1;

-- this is false
SELECT 1 from dual  WHERE 1 = 0;

-- this is unknown - it is usually expected to be false, but that only shows
-- misunderstanding of nulls. It's not false it's only treated as false in the filter
SELECT 1 from dual  WHERE 1 = NULL;


-- this is also unknown - but logicaly it would seem it would be true
-- but unknown compared to unknown equals uknown and it is treated as false in the filter
SELECT 1 from dual  WHERE NULL = NULL;

The where will return a row only if the condition evaluates to true which UNKNOWN isn't.



So let's demonstrate this with some code. I've commented it heavily so it can be self explaining.

I've also shown a parser bug in the IN Query. Well... it's a bug if you ask me. It shouldn't behave like that.



------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Prepare tables and data
------------------------------------------------------------------
CREATE TABLE t1 (id number, title VARCHAR(20), somenumCol number);

CREATE TABLE t2 (id number, t1Id number, someData VARCHAR(20));


INSERT INTO t1
SELECT 1, 'title 1', 5 from dual UNION ALL
SELECT 2, 'title 2', 5 from dual UNION ALL
SELECT 3, 'title 3', 5 from dual UNION ALL
SELECT 4, 'title 4', 5 from dual UNION ALL
SELECT null, 'title 5', 5 from dual UNION ALL
SELECT null, 'title 6', 5 from dual;

INSERT INTO t2
SELECT 1, 1, 'data 1' from dual UNION ALL
SELECT 2, 1, 'data 2' from dual UNION ALL
SELECT 3, 2, 'data 3' from dual UNION ALL
SELECT 4, 3, 'data 4' from dual UNION ALL
SELECT 5, 3, 'data 5' from dual UNION ALL
SELECT 6, 3, 'data 6' from dual UNION ALL
SELECT 7, 4, 'data 7' from dual UNION ALL
SELECT 8, null, 'data 8' from dual UNION ALL
SELECT 9, 6, 'data 9' from dual UNION ALL
SELECT 10, 6, 'data 10' from dual UNION ALL
SELECT 11, 8, 'data 11' from dual ;

------------------------------------------------------------------
-- we want to get all data in t1 that has a child row in t2
------------------------------------------------------------------

-- join gives us more rows than we need, because it joins to every child row

SELECT    t1.*
FROM    t1
        JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.t1Id  ;


1    title 1    5
1    title 1    5
2    title 2    5
3    title 3    5
3    title 3    5
3    title 3    5
4    title 4    5  

 
-- distinct would solve that but it's not pretty nor efficient
SELECT    DISTINCT t1.*
FROM    t1
        JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.t1Id  ;


4    title 4    5
2    title 2    5
3    title 3    5
1    title 1    5


-- now this is a weird part where somenumCol is a column in t1
-- but the parser doesn't seem to mind that

 
SELECT    t1.*
FROM    t1
WHERE    t1.id IN (SELECT somenumCol FROM t2) ;


NO Rows Returned

-- here in and exists both get correct results
SELECT    t1.*
FROM    t1
WHERE    t1.id IN (SELECT t1id FROM t2);


1    title 1    5
2    title 2    5
3    title 3    5
4    title 4    5


SELECT    t1.*
FROM    t1
WHERE    exists (SELECT * FROM t2 WHERE t1.id = t2.t1id) ;

1    title 1    5
2    title 2    5
3    title 3    5
4    title 4    5
------------------------------------------------------------------
-- we want to get all data in t1 that doesn't have a child row in t2
------------------------------------------------------------------

-- join gives us the correct result

SELECT    t1.*
FROM    t1
        LEFT JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.t1Id
WHERE    t2.id IS NULL  ;


    title 6    5
    title 5    5


-- IN doesn't get correct results.
-- That's because of how IN treats NULLs and the Three-valued logic
-- NULL is treated as an unknown, so if there's a null in the t2.t1id
-- NOT IN will return either NOT TRUE or NOT UNKNOWN. And neither can be TRUE.
-- when there's a NULL in the t1id column of the t2 table the NOT IN query will always return an empty set. 


SELECT    t1.*
FROM    t1
WHERE    t1.id NOT IN (SELECT t1id FROM t2)  ;


NO Rows Returned 
 
-- NOT EXISTS gets correct results

SELECT    t1.*
FROM    t1
WHERE    NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM t2 WHERE t1.id = t2.t1id);


    title 6    5
    title 5    5

We can see that it's best to use EXISTS because it always behaves as the user would think it does.

solution :- constraint (SYS.I_SOURCE1) violated


I am trying to drop an object from oracle using sqlplus then meanwhile i am cancelling the operation .
After i am drop the same object then  raise the error  that object does not exist.


And after i am creating the same object with some modification  then getting the error
constraint (SYS.I_SOURCE1)  violated  .

solution

find any object are not in user and existing in SYS.SOURCE$

select * from SYS.SOURCE$ where SOURCE  like '%OBJECTNAME%';

select OBJECT_NAME,OBJECT_ID from all_objects where owner='USER' and object_type='TYPE';

once you confirm which object are missing in user and existing in sys the you can delete the entries from sys.



    error : unique constraint (SYS.I_SOURCE1) violated

  delete from SYS.SOURCE$  where OBJ#=74615 and line=1;
    
     error : unique constraint (SYS.I_IDL_SB41) violated

    delete from  SYS.IDL_SB4$  where OBJ#=74615;

    delete from  SYS.IDL_UB1$  where OBJ#=74615;

    error : unique constraint (SYS.I_IDL_CHAR1) violated

    delete from  SYS.IDL_CHAR$ where OBJ#=74615;

    error : unique constraint (SYS.I_IDL_UB21) violated

   delete from   SYS.IDL_UB2$  where OBJ#=74615;
