Hard going at the gym

This morning at the gym I had a really hard time of it.  Just could not get motivated.  I slept well, but this morning woke up grumpy.  I think it was down to Jane not being here - she's off to America for a week so I'll be on my own until Wednesday - have to motivate myself!

Part of the problem was that I was 10mins later than normal getting to the gym, and I wanted to be early to work to catch up on the day off I had yesterday.  I probably shouldn't have bothered to be honest, but I only managed about 12mins of cardio work to warm up, and then skipped the hand-bike and rowing machine and moved straight on to the resistance work.

Another reason for feeling quite so lethargic might have been what I ate last night.  Oh dear... I don't really want to record it but I bought two chickens from Sainsburys last night as well as other foods, and I love chicken... there was one left for today's tea, which has been MUCH more balanced.

Let's make up for it tomorrow morning.  I've got nothing to rush for and I should hopefully feel better.

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?
