tablespace it fails with error message, ORA-00059

version is higher than 8 suppose 10.2g then when MAXDATAFILES of your control file
reached then MAXDATAFILES parameter would expand automatically unless you hit
bug. You can see the post here,

file is corrupted and if you have backup of your control file then it is required to restore

need to change the limit of MAXLOGFILE, MAXLOGMEMBERS, MAXLOGHISTORY,
MAXDATAFILES, and MAXINSTANCES then the possible solutions is either RE-create
new controlfile or create a new database. But from Oracle 10.2g all sections of the
control file are now automatically extended when they run out of space. This means that
there is no longer a requirement to re-create the control file when changes in the
configuration parameter the MAXLOGFILE, MAXLOGMEMBERS, MAXLOGHISTORY,
MAXDATAFILES, and MAXINSTANCES are needed

131) kccrsz: denied expansion of controlfile section 9 by 65535 record(s). The machine did

tablespace tbs_16k. The summary of the experiment is bigger data block cause more
time while update but less time while insert operation.

238) Can you use flashback database if a period of noarchivelog exists,

239) Flashback ON fails with ORA-38706 and ORA-38714, Whenever you tried to enable
your database flashback feature it failed with errors.

240) How to get back dropped Tablespace using Flashback Database, It needs to
remember that if you drop your tablespace with including datafiles option then it is not
possible to get your tablespace back with flashback database. While dropping if you use
DROP TABLESPACE INCLUDING CONTENTS option then it is possible to get back
tablespace.

241) How to restore the old data using flashback query, My intention is , I want to get back
past data of database after erroneously updated and committed.

242) Limitation of Flashback Database, The Flashback Database allows you to get back
the entire database to a specific point-in-time

243) Flashback Database To The Right of Open Resetlogs, In some cases, you may need
to return the database to a point in time in the parent incarnation, later than the SCN of
the OPEN RESETLOGS at which the current incarnation path branched from the old
incarnation.

244) Flashback Database to Undo an OPEN RESETLOGS, Suppose you have opened
your database with OPEN RESETLOGS option after performing flashback feature. And
after that you have made unwanted changes in your database.

245) Performing Flashback Database, Before going any production upgrade to database
we can make a guaranteed restore point to database and if any wrong then we can get
back to the restore point state. Guaranteed restore point always ensure that we can get
back data to our restore point creation time.

246) ORA-00439: feature not enabled: Flashback Database, While trying to enable
flashback feature the error comes.

247) Restore Point and Flashback Database. Flashback database enables us to get back
our database to a prior time

248) How to Enable Flashback Database, To enable flashback database the following
operations is needed
249) Flashback Table and Flashback Drop, The FLASHBACK TABLE statement enables
users to get a table to a previous point in time. It provides a fast, online solution to get
back a table that has been accidentally modified or deleted by a user or application. It
eliminates the DBA to perform more complicated point in time recovery operations.

Whenever you tried to import data into the database it failed with error as below

265) How to Import data without Dumpfile-Network Mode Import, It is possible to import
data in a database without the dump file. From network the data will be retrieved from
 one database and then import that data back to the target database. There are no dump
files involved.

266) Import Oracle Data from Anywhere, Suppose, I have server machine named
"NEPTUNE". In the server machine under /oradata2 directory there is a dump file
named net.dmp. However to run import operation we need not connect to server
"NEPTUNE" and then perform import operation. From any machine which have data
pump import client can do the operation.

309) How to disable SELinux, Before going to directly disabling SELinux let's have an idea
about what SELinux is. SELinux indicates Security Enhanced Linux which is a security
patch applied to Linux kernel. When it is enabled in the kernel it follows some principle
of least privilege. It is an implementation of mandatory access control using Linux
Security Modules.

312) While startup listener it fails with HPUX Error: 29: Illegal seek, While issuing "lsnrctl

313) TNS-01169: The listener has not recognized the password, The TNS-01169 error
occurred because security feature is enabled for listener i.e password is set in
listener.ora file but lsnrctl command is issued without proper authentication

314) How to set oracle listener password

315) ORA-12518: TNS:listener could not hand off client connection

316) The listener supports no services, Whenever I issue lsnrctl status command it says
"The listener supports no services" and no one from outside could not connect to
database through listener

317) Listener Hangs, Child listener process remains persistence, Some days ago in our
database server we got a problem regarding listener issue. Our TNS Listener hangs.
Below is the problem symtompts.

318) ORA-12541: TNS:no listener, For newbie users they found ORA-12541 and search
here and there to solve the problem. But it is one word about the error which it says no
listener and think next what to do. Never mix this error with another error like ORA-
12514: which are different and mutually exclusive.

319) ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect
descriptor, I will try to show how efficiently we can avoid error ORA-12514. My
 suggestion is whenever you get this error forget about tnsnames.ora and other stuff
related to it. Start fixing problem step by step.

320) How to Enable Listener Logging and Tracing, I will try to show two different ways to
enable logging and tracing of listener.ora file. These logging and tracing helps you to
identify the network problems and troubleshooting connection problems in oracle.It also
help to identify when a client is connected to oracle database.

contents within that datafile will be affected, other datafile is online and can be possible
to query which may return rows with errors. To illustarte this scenario I will make two
datafiles inside a tablespace.
