I had nothing really to do this afternoon, so i updated Oracle XE (10.2.0.1 Beta) with the Oracle (standard database) patch 10.2.0.2, that is…only the data dictionary part.
Just to check if this could be done and if some limitations were data dictionary based… 😉
Alas?
Sometimes you want to search for Oracle database messages, their meaning or you are in search of specific database event settings.
For instance, a long time ago i was searching for an event that would trace when an datafile would expand / autoextend. I encountered latching problems on a Siebel system based on an new Oracle Failsafe environment (Windows 2000 cluster). I wanted to be sure that these latching problems weren’t introduced by the newly introduced datafile AUTOEXTEND feature.
Yesterday i was reading nice discussions on Asktom about the dual table. Afterwards somehow a “undocumented” Oracle feature popped into my mind again. Last time I used is at least in those days I worked with Oracle 7.0 /7.1. So I tried It out on Oracle database version 10.1.0.4 and it still works…
😉 Maybe it is (still) usefull to someone. See hence my example:
Bad Behavior has blocked 264 access attempts in the last 7 days.
