We Prank A Women To Think Rapture Occurred
Women is truly God's gift unto mankind. They are good at cooking and cleaning, they can make you laugh when you're blue and then when you find the right one, they marry you and carry your seed and give you children.
My favorite aspect of women though is how cute they are. They are very gullible and it's not just the sacrilege atheists ones. Even the Christian ones are still fickle and that's why a man must remain fervent in guiding his wife and children in the way they should go.
That said, this following video is hilarious. People often ask if we have good Christian comedians and our friend Rick Praytor is among the best. In this following video team-up, we take to tricking a women who has become a bit too intertwined in Tim Lahaye's Left Behind book series about the rapture.
The movies and books are fine, but it is important to realize it's all just drama and sort of puts to screen the facts which you will find mainly in Revelations. This girl gets tricked by into thinking that the rapture has occurred and my sides hurt everytime I watch this and chuckle. Women are so easily disheveled and praise God for humor, because this is just too much. Poor womaen.

Cruise Critic's recent visit to see Liberty of the Seas at a Finnish shipyard made it clear that there would be no precedent-setting (a la surf park, boxing ring, ice skating rink) concepts on RCI's newest ship. But Liberty of the Seas, slated for launch in mid-May, will offer some new twists via programs and amenities.
In an announcement today, Royal Caribbean revealed a handful of options not only new to Liberty of the Seas, but also new to the fleet. In particular, the cruise line is clearly targeting health-conscious and family travelers, as well as honeymooners. Among the new options?
Vitality, a program aimed at health and wellness enthusiasts, will blend a variety of facets, from seminars and fitness offerings (such as Tai Chi and acupuncture) to spa-style cuisine.
In expanding its Adventure Ocean program for kids, Liberty of the Seas will feature a few new twists, such as Adventure Theater by Camp Broadway. The affiliation with Camp Broadway, a well-known children's theater group in New York will expose younger passengers to theater arts -- weaving folktales, music, dance and cultural elements. Teens can explore the theater too, but also can take part in D.J. classes hosted by the Scratch DJ Academy. For younger passengers, the line's Fisher-Price's Chefs on Deck lets them learn to cook. And families can team up together to build their own ship in Build & Grow, a program with Lowe's as an affiliate.
Cruise weddings are increasingly popular, and Royal Caribbean's new Explorer Weddings, again to debut on Liberty of the Seas, adds a twist to its existing Royal Romance packages: Passengers can wed on an Alaskan glacier, in a hot-air balloon, while surfing on Liberty's FlowRider or scuba diving on the ocean bed. This is available to those renewing vows as well (stay tuned for a news item offering further details).
Liberty of the Seas and sister-ship, Freedom of the Seas, will alternate between seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries, with Liberty departing on Saturdays (from May 19) and Freedom on Sundays from Miami. Both itineraries include stops at Royal Caribbean's private destination Labadee, Haiti, before returning to Miami. Liberty's Western Caribbean itinerary calls in Cozumel, Mexico; George Town, Grand Cayman; and Montego Bay, Jamaica; while the Eastern Caribbean itinerary calls in San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Philipsburg, St. Maarten, allowing for a third day at sea to take advantage of all the ship has to offer.
The two Freedom-class ships will be joined by a third, Independence of the Seas, when it debuts in Europe in May 2008.

4-year-old rescued from water at Mission Bay
SAN DIEGO - Lifeguards rescued a 4-year-old boy struggling in the waters of Mission Bay Friday afternoon, according to San Diego Fire-Rescue Department officials.
The incident happened along East Mission Bay Drive and Fiesta Island Drive in an area called Leisure Lagoon, officials said.
SDFRD officials said the boy had a life jacket on, but it was too big and he was struggling to move around with it on. The boy's parents, who were nearby, did not realize he was having problems with the life jacket.
The boy ended up face-down in the water, and that is when lifeguards spotted him and came to his aid.
Officials said the boy is expected to be OK but was taken to the hospital as a precaution because he swallowed a good amount of salt water.

Good Morning,
I just had to write to tell you about my experience with The Mat. I used it for the first time yesterday and it was a large 14" round cake. I have to tell you, it was absolutely wonderful. I followed the instructions in your video and it really works exactly as advertised. I make many fondant cakes and I love making the flowers and decorating them, but I always dreaded covering the cake with the fondant. But not anymore. I think your product is fantastic and I wish I knew about it a long time ago. It would have definitely saved me a lot of grief. So congratulations on a wonderful product AND extra kudos for having it made in the USA. I am so pleased.
Thanks much and have a great holiday!

Rep. Gary Miller (R-31) today announced that he will not seek re-election to his congressional seat. The seat is one of several targeted by Democrats this election cycle.
"It has been a great honor to spend so many years in public service, striving to make a difference for Southern California families. While there is still a lot of work to be done, it is now time for me to pass the baton. I will not seek re-election to Congress at the end of this term," Miller said in a statement.
Speculation that San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos would run for the seat was quickly quashed in a statement released this afternoon.
"Monday morning I pulled my nomination papers to run for my fourth term as San Bernardino County District Attorney. Two years ago I was approached by numerous community leaders to run for the 31st Congressional District. I chose to continue my work cleaning up corruption, protecting crime victims, making neighborhoods safe with aggressive anti-gang programs, and stopping the proliferation of human trafficking in our county.
"I still have much work to do in these areas. I wish all the candidates well in the 31st Congressional District; I will not be one of them. I will continue to proudly seek for my fourth term for a job that I genuinely cherish," stated Ramos.
Critics of Ramos, specifically those under Grand Jury indictment, continue to spread rumors of that Ramos will be forced from office in the near future. His statement today reaffirms his commitment to press forward with the prosecution of Jeff Burum, Jim Erwin, Mark Kirk and Paul Biane. The four have pleaded not guilty to a litany of charges including bribery and extortion.
The charges came about after revelations of wrongdoing in a $102 million settlement with the County of San Bernardino. Burum is one of the Colonies partners who benefitted most from the settlement. The remaining three defendants are accused of facilitating the approval of the settlement from the county side.

Here's your chance to have a family-friendly and educational Memorial Day weekend that is filled with Native American history, traditions and entertainment that all ages can enjoy. Just head for Ohio's first capital city of Chillicothe (Yes, I know the capital is Columbus now) for their annual Feast of the Flowering Moon on Thursday, May 22, Friday, May 23, Saturday, May 24 and Sunday, May 25. It is approximately a 3 hour, 20 minute drive from Cleveland.
Feast of the Flowering Moon Taking place in downtown Chillicothe at Yoctangee Park, this 4-day event will feature Native American music and dancing, a mountain man encampment, traders and exhibits and live musical entertainment. There will also be a Grand Parade at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.
There will be an opening ceremony on the Main Stage (including a Blessing of the Grounds) on Thursday at 6 p.m.
The Mountain Men's Encampment will let visitors travel back in time to the 1800's where they can witness men, women and children living the way they did in that era. The families are dressed in period clothing and they sleep in tents and cook all food on an open fire.
Visitors can also delight in the continuous entertainment on the Main Stage like live musical performances by various artists including singer Jordan Clark, a Ross County Junior Idol singing contest, a Queen and Princess pageants and a baby contest.
Other activities include a martial arts demonstration, Bingo and a performance by cloggers.
Of course, plenty of food and beverages will be available for purchase.
A Bit of History Instead of using 12 months to define a year, Native Americans use 13 lunar moons. At the end of each May, tribes celebrate the yearly rebirth of the world. The Shawnee of Ohio called it Flowering Moon. It was deemed a time of singing and dancing to thank and celebrate the Creator for allowing them to survive another year and to enjoy Mother Earth's rebirth. The word "feast" can also be used to describe a festival.
Hours for the Feast of the Flowering Moon are 4 p.m. - 10 p.m. on Thursday, May 22, noon - 10 p.m. on Friday, May 23, 10 a.m. - 10 p.m. on Saturday, May 24 and 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. on Sunday, May 25. Admission is free.

College Hockey:Samuelsson leaves BC for Penguins; Dumoulin, Kreider to return
Boston College sophomore defenseman Philip Samuelsson has decided to forego his last two years of eligibility and sign with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Samuelsson, drafted by the Penguins in the second round (61st overall) of the 2009 NHL draft, scored four goals and added 12 assists in 39 games this year.
Last season, Samuelsson was part of the Eagles' national championship team and had a goal and 14 points as a freshman.
While Samuelsson is leaving BC, the school announced Monday that sophomore defenseman Brian Dumoulin and sophomore forward Chris Kreider will return for their junior seasons.
"Both players have had very impressive freshman and sophomore seasons and we expect both to be leaders of our club in 2011-12," Boston College coach Jerry York said in a statement. "Brian and Chris embody what we strive for in a Boston College hockey player. They're interested in education and active in the community and we're very pleased that each will be back as juniors."
Dumoulin was selected the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round of the 2009 draft and Kreider was taken by the New York Rangers with the 19th overall pick in the first round in 2009.

Darryl Issa and other Congressmen are kicking off an investigation into the out of control Government Services Administration and the GSA's blatant and possibly criminal misuse of taxpayer dollars.
Well, it is about time but will anything happen?
From Fox News:
Congress will kick off a wave of what are likely to be contentious hearings Monday on the spending habits of the General Services Administration, as lawmakers try to uncover how the agency blew through $820,000 on a Las Vegas conference.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, one of four panels probing the incident, has set the first hearing for Monday afternoon. The panel has called some of the top current and former GSA officials to testify, though at least one is expected to invoke his Fifth Amendment right not to answer questions.
Lawmakers at this point are looking beyond the 2010 conference itself and into other areas where the agency may have spent money imprudently, such as on employee incentive programs. The hearing will surely fuel the controversy, which has expanded almost daily as new details emerge about the decision-making at the top levels of the GSA.
Among those on the witness list Monday are GSA Inspector General Brian Miller and former GSA Administrator Martha Johnson, who resigned in the wake of the inspector general's report on the conference.
The head of the GSA western region who organized the conference, Jeffrey Neely, has said through an attorney that he plans to plead the Fifth. His attorney says Neely doesn't need to come to D.C., but Issa insists he should appear anyway.
While Obama is still President, do not expect any real changes in the GSA.
But Congress can act.
The left always uses the excuse of waste, fraud and abuse to cut the Defense budget. Well you have some serious waste, fraud and abuse here. The solution is to cut the GSA's budget. In fact, why not just eliminated this agency?
Just line out the money the agency uses and fire all of the employees. It is tough but we taxpayers are pretty angry about the way our tax dollars are being spent.
Judging from those videos we saw, having those GSA employees lose their jobs; well, that's no great loss.
Views: 1055
You can't give up. That's what they want us to do. They want to overwhelm the system so that everyone just gives up in despair. We have to support people like Rep Issa. He must have the busiest job in DC--he has one investigation after another--why don't we have more brave patriots like him?? I was at a meeting last week where one of our ex-congressional members in Florida was speaking of possibly getting back in the race, he was so frustrated. He was probably the best we've had in our region and everyone was eager to support him. He told us that one of the most important things we can do is write letters of support when our leaders are doing good things, because they get plenty of complaint letters. We've got to highlight those who are standing up and speaking out, even if they are not in our district. When we get into the senate election period, we need to get on their websites and make calls for people in the critical districts, especially. It's going to be just as important to flip those houses and get the Constitutional principled men and women in who are not afraid to shake things up and return to our God given moral and spiritual values too--it can't just be political change.
While the GSA may have some relevance in the scheme of things, have you gotten the news that patients under home care are now being asked by visiting nurses if they have a gun in the home? It's another goody buried in Obamacare and in practice now. If members want to keep up with this onslaught of information, suggest we start getting ahead of the curve on pending legislation.
Strange things are happening. My daughter told me her and her friend were stopped around 10 the other night and pulled over for a broken headlight. They were only given a "get it fixed" warning, but the cop asked them if she could check the car to see if they had any weapons !! What?? They were so shocked they didn't know what to say. She told them, "you can say "NO"; they said, of course, no--there was no rhyme or reason--they weren't even teen agers, but girls in their mid twenties in an SUV, not doing anything.
Off topic, but just got an email that all Medicare patients will be asked if they have a weapon in the home. This needs to be verified, but point is that the most important assaults on freedom are being done under the radar. The presstitutes promote a Trayvon Martin or GSA case and the critical issues that affect us remain unreported. Too late to do much after the fact.
DAMMIT...This is just one more trivial diversion to entice us down another "rabbit hole" that leads away from the real goal of preventing a second term for Barack Obama. Focus, people! Bad behavior by the GSA is just one more symptom of a completely corrupt administration. We can't just constantly sweat these relatively small abuses when we are facing another $1.5 trillion deficit, a national debt that will reach ~$16 trillion by the end of 2012, and a reported jobless rate of over 8.2%; and that doesn't even include all of the people who have just given up looking in a dismal market that has continually been driven downward by the policies of this president. The GSA waste and the secret service daliances with hookers in Columbia are mere "hangnails" on the talons of a hydra. The laundry list of overreaches and breaches of executive branch power and the Constitution keep getting longer; so let's keep hammering away on that which is truly destroying our nation, and push a lance through the heart of the socialist "hydra" that has occupied the White House.
We need to FOCUS on the ONE issue -- get rid of Obama.
If the discussion of a certain topic doesn't net us more votes from Independents (amd maybe even a few Democrats), it isn't worth wasting our time on.
Agree with Bob, and we need a "clearing house" for members to be apprised of Congress' assaults before they happen. Could then jump on unconstitutional "legislation" en masse before another violation is committed - not after the fact. Could possibly make a difference and would further demonstrate that larger numbers of people are monitoring them.
It is a sad state of affairs in the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION there the GSA and the DOJ are shown to more corrupt than even the Nixon Administration and NOTHING is done to correct the problems. Obviously ... the Black Panthers outside the voting booth in Philadelphia was a harbinger of what was to come when NOTHING was done to follow up... and now three plus years later ... we have pages and pages of similar NO FOLLOW-UP by the Eric Holder and his Department of Justice?
But will anything happen?
About as much as will happen in the Fast and Furious investigation. Just another dog and pony show. Nothing will happen unless We the People start exerting our constitutional powers.
Why try to limit spending by the GSA? It is about 20th on the list of high priority places to save money in government. Start with Dept of Agriculture, then Homeland Security, and Justice and IRS and and and...
Every new topic we discuss will peel off more Independent voters.
Focus on Obama - he is the cause of the wasted money, in every case.
No. Nothing will happen. The Republican leadership will get together and decide the truth is too controversial.

The Buzz, 12-12: Nuts
to You!
Extraordinary Things
By Paul Ben-Itzak
Copyright 2002 The Dance Insider
Season's greetings,
Dance Insider, from your "Nutcracker"-free zone, Paris, where the
Tchaikovsky classic has not been seen on the Paris Opera Ballet
in at least two seasons. (Not that we're not getting into the holiday
spirit; this morning at Les Deux Moulins -- the real cafe where
Amelie Poulenc 'works' -- I was just ordering my first cup of coffee
while the staff was already on its second glass of champagne.) So
I am left musing over "Nutcrackers" of Christmases past. But before
we get to my picks of the good, the bad, and the ugly, how about
a couple of holiday picks for you moderns and you balletomanes looking
for something a little different in New York?
Among the displaced
in lower Manhattan September 12, 2001, were the students of PS 234.
In the ensuing months, teacher and former Merce Cunningham dancer
Patricia Lent found a unique way to give the kids a break from their
crowded temporary location by taking field trips to Cunningham's
Westbeth studio to observe the dancers. Next Wednesday, Thursday,
and Friday, Lent's students will join the company in an Event at
Three World Financial Center, taking part in the onstage action.
The performances,commencing at 7 p.m. at American Express, are free
to the public, says the PR, with a 'suggested donation' of $15 for
adults and $5 for kids. Providing the setting for this event, which
is sponsored by A.E. and the Joyce Theater Foundation in association
with the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, is "Rewarding Lives,"
an exhibition of photographs by Annie Leibovitz, including one of
Merce. If I read the PR right, It's all situated -- photos, dancers,
and kids -- among brightly lit, translucent canopies.
Farther uptown, Francis
Patrelle brings his "Yorkville Nutcracker" to the Kaye Playhouse
Friday through Sunday. Now, I haven't seen this "Nutcracker" so
I can't vouch for the choreography. But I have seen the spirited
New York City Ballet soloist Pascale van Kipnis and the exuberant
and soulful NYCB principal Jenifer Ringer, and they'll both be guesting
with Patrelle Dances for this season. Partnered by Dance Theatre
of Harlem's elegant and noble principal Donald Williams, van Kipnis
performs tomorrow at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m. You can see Ringer
in this relatively intimate setting, partnered by the sturdy NYCB
principal James Fayette, Saturday at 7 pm. and Sunday at 1 p.m.
and 6 p.m.
....So, briefly, the
Good, the Bad, and the Ugly from my Nutcrackers of Christmas Past.
The Good: Wendy Whelan,
ever-consistent, persisting in moving her mouth to the music, even
though the music for this 1999 New York City Ballet "Nutracker"
opening had the dancers interpreting Balanchine's version of the
ballet to a pastiche of various recorded scores, the live orchestra
having opted to play Grinch and strike the Nut. As a dance insider
later explained to me, what required extra courage from Whelan and
her cohorts was that a recorded score did not allow for volume shifts.
But the dancing sang with courage and aplomb.
The Bad: This would
have to be when a Newsday editor, having sent me to Long Island
to review a local "Nutcracker," said that I wasn't allowed to criticize
Clara. "Excuse me, I thought you said you wanted a review?"
The Ugly: This would
have to be the first act of San Francisco Ballet's currently decrepit
version -- the US's first complete. That's not a crack on the brilliant
dancers, and not even necessarily on the age. Well, actually, it
is about the age -- of the 'children,' who looked to be about 16
when I caught the San Francisco 'Nut' in 2000.
....Speaking of 'ugly,'
the "Live Advent Calendar," presented by Hubsi Kramar in Vienna's
Tanzquartier this past week-end, was apparently just that. As DI
managing editor and Vienna bureau chief Tara Zahra reports:
"So the 'Live Advent
Calendar' at the Tanzquartier turned out not to have much dance
in it. Or any really. But it did have a screaming naked tatooed
man with an erect penis (day 10), a dwarf dressed as a dummy singing
'White Christmas' and throwing eggs and feathers (day 5), a woman
binging and purging the contents of her change purse (day 19), and
to finish it all off a rendition of 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' in
a Viennese working class home (day 24). Let's hear it for the Catholic
Avant-Garde.... Do you still want a review??"
As my French friend
Marc said when he he examined the unique plumbing situation in my
kitchen: "C'est pas tres Catholique."
....Speaking of things
I've never seen before, did you know that MIkhail Baryshnikov, rightly
celebrated for his dancing, stewardship of the White Oak Dance Project,
and promotion of Modern and Post-Modern Dance, is now a choreographer
too? Neither did I, until someone sent me to the web site of something
called the Monaco Dance Forum, which lists, under possible awardees
for 'the performance of the year 2001!," and I quote, "Past Forward,
choreography from Mikhail Barychnikov (sic) and David Gordon, White
Oak Dance Project." Well, not exactly. Along with Gordon, the choreographers
featured in White Oak's admirably ambitious Judson redux program
included Steve Paxton, Trisha Brown, Yvonne Rainer, and other Judson
alumni -- but not, as choreographer anyway, Baryshnikov. I suppose
the MDF is attempting to honor Nijinsky by giving its award his
name, award his name, but maybe first it should honor some of the
last century's most important choreographers by remembering theirs.
.... Speaking of dance
history lessons, that's what you'll be able to get if you're in
New York over the next two months, as the New York Public Library
presents "Martha Graham: Steps of a Giant: Insiders' Stories." The
panel discussions commence this evening at 5 p.m. at the Bruno Walter
Auditorium, 40 Lincoln Center Plaza, where Barychnikov I mean Graham's
"Clytaemnestra" will be dissected by composer Halim El-Dabh and
dancers Helen McGehee and Ethel Winter, with Ellen Graff and Kenneth
Topping of the Graham School moderating. On January 4, 2:30 p.m.,
same venue, Miriam Cole, Mary Hinkson, Linda Hodes, and Yuriko,
with moderators Graff and Marnie Wood, take on the topic "Ensemble
Works and Myths and Legends." And on January 16, at 5 p.m., Robert
Cohan, Stuart Hodes, and Pearl Lang talk about "Americana and Martha's
Funny Bone," with Graff moderating again. Admission to all these
events is free, with limited seating. For more info, in a recorded
message, you can call 212-642-0142.
.... And speaking of
Judson forwards, dance insider AG forwards the news that the the
Reverend Peter Laarman, leader of the Judson Memorial Church, was
among the chief organizers of the New York edition of Wednesday's
nationwide civil disobedience opposing the Bush Aministration's
oil I mean war lust directed towards the country of Iraq. At least
100 of the activists, including many other local religious leaders
and Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry's, were reportedly charged with disturbing
the peace after they clustered before the U.S. mission to the U.N.
Now that's what I call walking the talk; nothing pedestrian about
it. Somewhere up there, the late American hero Philip
Berrigan is smiling.

A mountain of unmistakeable dominance over the northern Lakes, Skiddaw is from afar a brooding – but gentle – giant. Tackled from the right direction, however, Skiddaw begins to shift character into a steep, boulder-strewn monolith moated by cavernous valleys and approached by slender ridges which ascend to its wild, scree-cone summit.
Best route: via the ridge of Longside Edge, over the minor peak of Carl Side. Look left over the gaping corrie and up to the cindery top of Skiddaw on the way up.

More than a dozen people have died in two simultaneous attacks on the Kenyan coast. The identity of the perpetrators remains unclear, but al-Shabab militants from Somalia have carried out other attacks in the area.
The Kenyan Red Cross said on Sunday that at least 13 people died in two separate gun attacks overnight on Saturday.
In a statement on Twitter, the Red Cross said gunmen killed four people in the trading center of Hindi in the district of Lamu, and that nine more people were killed in another attack in the Gamba area of Tana River county.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attacks.
The attack in Hindi took place in the coastal region where some 65 people were killed in two attacks last month. Islamist al-Shabab insurgents from neighboring Somalia claimed responsibility for those attacks, one of which occured in the town of Mpeketoni and the other in a nearby village.
Kenya has seen a spate of gun and explosive attacks since deploying its troops to Somalia in October 2011 to fight the al Qaeda-linked group.

Baker's Byte (Comments) https://blogs.oracle.com/Bakers_Byte/feed/comments/atom 2014-05-12T02:50:11+00:00 Apache Roller https://blogs.oracle.com/Bakers_Byte/entry/oracle_sql_profile_internals#comment-1369780041260 Re: Oracle SQL Profile Internals Andy Baker 2013-05-28T22:27:21+00:00 2013-05-28T22:27:21+00:00
Hi there, thanks for going through the update. In terms of the error, obviously the first thing is to always look at the error code and meaning.

ORA-13786:missing SQL text of statement object "string" for tuning task "string"
 Cause: The user attempted to accept SQL profile for an object that has not a SQL text associated to it.
 Action: Check the identifier of the object and retry the operation.

Obviously your post does not have all the entry to see / check the tuning task etc. I have seen 2 issues in the past, the first you found but there is also another mainly experienced from grid control.

You can run the following after submitting the task and getting the error:

DBA_ADVISOR_RATIONALE returns the following message for the object_id:

Note the object_id is given in the error code returned. From your post this looked to be 1.

SQL> select message from dba_advisor_rationale where object_id=1363;

 MESSAGE
 --------------------------------------------
 This attribute enables parallel execution.

If the SQL statement above being tuned generates a parallel plan as above then there is another bug associated with this error: bug 10313110

Cause

Since the SQL profile is for a plan that runs with parallel execution, the profile type needs to be a parallel profile, however the "profile_type => DBMS_SQLTUNE.PX_PROFILE" is missing in the command generated by the SQL Tuning Advisor.

A PX_PROFILE is one that enables parallel execution. For such profiles you must pass a value with the PROFILE_TYPE parameter set to 'PX_PROFILE' for ACCEPT_SQL_PROFILE. Without this the command takes the default value, of REGULAR_PROFILE.

The quick workaround is that you just have to apply it manually with the option DBMS_SQLTUNE.PX_PROFILE and you are set :)

DECLARE
 l_sql_tune_task_id VARCHAR2(200);
 BEGIN
 l_sql_tune_task_id := DBMS_SQLTUNE.accept_sql_profile (
 task_name => 'SQLTEXT_6',
 name => 'TEST_PROFILE',
 force_match => TRUE,
 profile_type => DBMS_SQLTUNE.PX_PROFILE);
 END;
 /
 The other thing is to review the recommendations and see what it is showing, there have been a couple of issues relating to where the optimizer suggest several conflicting solutions and when applying an issue is raised. You can also query out from the base tables mentioned in the note the items suggested in the recommendations and check these manually.

You should also review versions / patches and PSU's to ensure you are not operating too far behind. Obviously not an end user / business critical issue but may give you operational evidence that it is time to bring forward development and test on a newer version. If the profile is able to be generated elsewhere you can also look at moving the profile or converting to a baseline.

Hope that gets you started please let me know how you go.
 Regards

Andy Baker.

Hi Andy

Thank you for your posting. It is very interesting and helpful as always.

My question when I tested the above, an error
 ' ORA-13786: missing SQL text of statement object "1" for tuning task "SQLTEXT_6" '
 was thrown, when I was trying to apply the recommendation using "execute dbms_sqltune.accept_sql_profile(task_name => 'SQLTEXT_6',task_owner => 'SYS', replace => TRUE);"

In metalink article ID 1067741.1, it said this is a bug and the workaround is to disable the procedure parameter FORCE_MATCH. Then I set it to Force but same error again.

Can you please share any idea about this ?
 Thank you very much for your time and your posts again

Hi there thanks for the update, however I do not think it matters on DATA TYPE, as to whether this works. It will be more likely down to cardinality and clustering factor. Ask Tom has a good article on this: http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:2458637000346464034

In the above link there is also a link to other Tom articles featuring nulls and indexes which is worth a read.

As a follow up I also researched Charles Hooper as he has done a lot of work in this area. http://hoopercharles.wordpress.com/2012/02/28/repeat-after-me-null-values-are-not-stored-in-indexes

He actually identified four different ways to get around this issue and lots of examples.

 1.Define a composite index with at least one other column that has a NOT NULL constraint (ideally this not null column leads the index).

 2. Define a composite index with a numeric constant (such as 1) as the second column in the index, the column with potential nulls leading the index. *** This is as in my update ***

 3. Bitmap Indexes always store NULLS. However take care with locking / contention issues if using. If frequent changes to the table by lots of sessions then may not be appropriate.

 4. If number of nulls is small compared to number of rows in the table, then a function based index may be appropriate. Charles gives an example in his update as below:

 DECODE(c3,NULL,1)
 (CASE WHEN c3 IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE NULL END)
 (NVL2(c3,NULL,1))

The above function converts a NULL to 1 and non-NULL to NULL.

Charles article is worth a read as he has great examples, especially in the comments section where the issue of whether an index is chosen versus a full table scan is also discussed with particular reference to Multi-block Read Count (MBRC) as well as testing with hints.

Similar to Tom this again leads me to answer your question that getting a 'IS NULL' to use an index is not dependant on DATA TYPE but on the data and statistics.

In my example I knew I had a small number of nulls in a large number of rows, therefore I guess the cost of a full table scan was high compared to that of the index. Hence the index is used.

Hope that helps.
 Andy Baker.

Hi Andy

I tested the solution in your artical. It works when the type of the column is number.

But when the type of the column is varchar, the exeuction plan still choose full table scan, even I tried to create the index like create index E1 on EMP (DEPT_ID, 'AAA');

Is it possible for this solution to be used in a varchar type column ?

Thank you

Hi thanks for your comment. To answer the first question on undo space, the short answer is NO.

Remember this is flashback database and not a type of flashback relying on undo. The purpose of the article was to generate thoughts on the fact that firstly flashback logging is a performance / management overhead and secondly that to use flashback with a guaranteed restore point allowing flashback to a set point in time does not require flashback logging even to be on. Most DBA's don't consider that fact!

To answer your second question on data guard, the answer really depends on the current scn of the standby.

There are a lot of examples out there and it should be remembered that since 10g oracle has been able to recover through reset logs which obviously occur in a flashback operation once completed.

An Example set of commands to try out:

1. On primary database, Stop dataguard broker.

SQL> alter system set dg_broker_start = false;

2. Flashback database to SCN

SQL> shutdown immediate;
 SQL> startup mount;
 SQL> flashback database to SCN ; -- Could also be a restore point etc
 SQL> alter database open resetlog;
 SQL> alter system set dg_broker_start = true;

3. Determine the SCN before the RESETLOGS operation occurred.

SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(RESETLOGS_CHANGE# - 2) FROM V$DATABASE;
 -- should be same as earlier.

4. Obtain the current SCN on the standby database.

SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(CURRENT_SCN) FROM V$DATABASE;

5. Determine if it is necessary to flash back the standby database.

If the value of CURRENT_SCN is larger than the value of resetlogs_change# - 2(), issue the following statement to flash back the standby database.

SQL> FLASHBACK STANDBY DATABASE TO SCN resetlogs_change# -2;

•If the value of CURRENT_SCN is less than the value of the resetlogs_change# - 2, skip to Step 6.

6. Restart Redo Apply.

SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT;

Hi,

Nice Desription . Would it require more undo space. How would it affect physical standby if flashed back to restore point.

I use image viewer on the gnome shell. Yet when I am in file manager and open an image, the image opens in the background.
How to start in front of everything else?
This is intentional Gnome Shell behavior. The way this focusing behavior works is if you double click the image or right click and open/open from Open With, the shell will detect if the e.g File Manager is still in focus/on top.
Example, if you opened the image and then clicked back in to the File Manager in the 1-5 seconds it takes to open(perhaps to open something else), it will open in the background. If you have not clicked anything since you opened the image via either double click/open with/return then it will automatically open that image in the foreground. If this behavior is not occuring the Shell is either detecting the wrong activity inside of the File Manager, or something else is stealing focus. If this is the case you can do the following:
The best way to change this would be to use the Steal My Focus extension, it does not work per application but hopefully that will be possible in the future.
You can install it by clicking THIS and selecting the On/Off toggle switch, then accept to install. Once installed it should begin working automatically.
This should work on 3.2 as well as 3.4.
I think I found answer to that problem; it is the problem that appears with other programs also. I've solved it completely by configuring copiz appropriately.
Please, look at my answer to this question. Sometimes new windows don't come to the front when launched
