Pushing one's self

Or for those of you born without a silver spoon in yer gobs: pushing yourself.

This morning my workout was hard.  I really pushed at everything, upped the resistance on all the cardio machines (treadmill, handbike, the previously mentioned weird-ass Vario things) and really went for the weights.  Consequently, I hurt like hell now.

Ow.

Data Guard with Transparent Application Failover (TAF)

One of the problems with Data Guard is that even after switching/failing over to the standby database, all clients need to be reconfigured to communicate with the new primary. The simplest way to achieve this (if using a centralised tnsnames.ora ), is to modify the file and  add the line " (FAILOVER=YES) ",  and either multiple ( DESCRIPTION=...) or (ADDRESS=...)  lines, one for each of the standby systems, in the order that the client should attempt connections . This tells the client to try each address in turn until one succeeds. Doing so provides basic failover functionality within Oracle Net, and will probably function correctly most of the time.  Though be aware - because both primary and standby can share the same instance name (e.g. the same SID, therefore the same connection string), there is potential for this simple scheme to go wrong. An example in an active data guard environment (where the standby is open read only): a temporary network issue causes all c

Data pump - "ORA-39786: Number of columns does not match between export and import databases"

Today I was asked if it was possible to import data for a specific table from a data pump export file, which was taken from when a table had a different structure to what it has now. e.g. when the export was taken, there were 10 columns.  Now there are 11. I thought that was simple, and I was sure I'd heard of this being done before.  Simply import using the "CONTENT=DATA_ONLY" parameter.  Right?
