How to Oracle Data Base for Beginners I

ORACLE FOR BEGINNERS

1.-Check data files in Oracle Data Base

$sqlplus / as sysdba
Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
SQL>
SQL>SELECT FILE_NAME FROM DBA_DATA_FILES FILE_NAME;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/oracle/BBC/data1/system_1/system.data1
/oracle/BBC/data1/sysaux_1/sysaux.data1

2.-Create a Table Space  "prueba" with local management , size 10 megabytes without autoxtend

Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
SQL>
SQL>CREATE TABLESPACE PRUEBA
DATAFILE 'C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\TORITO\PRUEBA.DBF'  SIZE 10M
EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL;

2- Create a user  "prueba_user" and password "torito" and grant permission for this user

SQL>CREATE USER PRUEBA_USER IDENTIFIED BY torito;
SQL>GRANT SYSDBA TO PRUEBA_USER;
SQL>GRANT DBA TO PRUEBA_USER;
Verify user created
SQL>SELECT * FROM DBA_USERS WHERE USERNAME='PRUEBA_USER';

3- Shutdown the Oracle Data Base

Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options

SQL>shutdown normal;
or
SQL>shutdown immediate;

4.- Shutdown the Listener

lnsrctl stop/start LISTENER

5- Start the Listener

#lsnrctl status   stop/start

6.-Start the Oracle Data Base

Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
SQL>startup

7.-Check the alert log file after startup process of the database

SQL> show parameter back;
NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
background_core_dump                 string      partial
background_dump_dest                 string      C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ADMIN\TORITO\BDUMP
backup_tape_io_slaves                boolean     FALSE
db_flashback_retention_target        integer     1440
fast_start_parallel_rollback         string      LOW
rollback_segments                    string
transactions_per_rollback_segment    integer     5

C:\>more C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ADMIN\TORITO\BDUMP\alert_torito.log

8- Activate archivelog mode in the Oracle Database

 8.1 Shutdown the database
 
SQL> shutdown immediate

 8.2 Perform a startup with the mount option

 SQL> startup mount

 8.3 After mount the database execute the following command

  SQL>alter database archivelog;

 8.4 Open the database
  
    SQL>alter database open;

 8.5 Finally active the system archive log
 
   SQL> alter system archive log start;
   SQL> archive log list;

Modo log de la base de datos              Archive Mode
Destino del archivo            USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST
Secuencia de log en lÝnea mßs antigua     13
Siguiente secuencia de log para archivar   15
Secuencia de log actual           15

9.-Check archive path destination for the archive log

SQL> show parameter db_recovery_file_dest
NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
db_recovery_file_dest                string      C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\flash_recovery_area
db_recovery_file_dest_size           big integer 2G
 You can force a switch in order to write a archive log

SQL> alter system switch logfile;
System Altered

10- Deactivate archive log mode  in the database.

 SQL> shutdown immediate;
10.1 Perform a startup with the mount option
 SQL>startup mount;
10.2 Deactivate archivelog:
 SQL>alter database noarchivelog;
10.3 Open the database
 SQL>alter database open
10.4 Deactivate or stop  the archive log
 SQL>alter system archive log stop
