I notice that my database box[FC6+Oracle10.2] take along time to startup. Sendmail and sm-client very very slow to start[ about 5 minutes ]. There's something wrong in /etc/hosts file. 'newalises' command take long time to update and finish with error below.

This will be update version of this post if you are using oracle 10g or 11g. Last month I post about export/import data in oracle using exp,imp utility. Actually oracle has something newer and better performance if you're using 10g or 11g. Assume that we want to export one table from one oracle db and import it into another oracle db. So create the folder /home/oracle/dbbackup on two oracle db server to store file[that will be created when exporting and importing]. Next, we need to tell oracle to know this folder, create directory on both db by run command below in sqlplus SQL> create directory dmpdir as '/home/oracle/dbbackup'; Directory created. SQL> Now on source database export table with command below. [oracle@k8n ~]$ expdp username/password DIRECTORY= dmpdir DUMPFILE= filename.dmp TABLES= tablename Export: Release 10.1.0.3.0 - Production on Friday, 09 May, 2008 10:54 ... [oracle@k8n ~]$ after finish you will have filename.dmp in /home/oracle/dbbackup, ftp ...

Again that electricity in area of Sukhumvit road, Bangkok down yesterday night. This time one database refuse to boot it freeze at "Starting system logger:". Look like there's no way to get a shell from any normal run level startup. Not like ubuntu that has recovery mode in grub menu. This box is fedora core, I know there's a way to get in to single user mode by pass kernel parameter at grub boot menu [but can not remember how to at that time:(]. After some googling I found the way. To get single user mode in FC, at grub menu press a [to append kernel parameter]. Now add s to tell fedora kernel that you want single user mode. After finish, enter to continue booting. Now you will get root shell and can figure out what wrong with your system then fix it. In my case now I just want Oracle to come up so i need atleast two service 'network' and 'oracle'. Try to bring it up by run these two command and pray. sh-3.00# service network start sh-3.00# service...
