Contents of a Control file

Every Oracle Database has a control file, which is a small binary file that records the physical structure of the database. The control file includes:

The database name
Names and locations of associated datafiles and redo log files
The timestamp of the database creation
The current log sequence number
Checkpoint information

The control file must be available for writing by the Oracle Database server whenever the database is open. Without the control file, the database cannot be mounted and recovery is difficult.

The control file of an Oracle Database is created at the same time as the database. By default, at least one copy of the control file is created during database creation. On some operating systems the default is to create multiple copies. You should create two or more copies of the control file during database creation. You can also create control files later, if you lose control files or want to change particular settings in the control files.

Background Process in ORACLE Database

Background Process in ORACLE Database Database Writer Process (DBWn) Log Writer Process (LGWR) Checkpoint Process (CKPT) System Monitor Process (SMON) Process Monitor Process (PMON) Recoverer Process (RECO) Job Queue Processes Archiver Processes (ARCn) Queue Monitor Processes (QMNn) Database Writer Process (DBWn) The database writer process (DBWn) writes the contents of buffers to datafiles. The DBWn processes are responsible for writing modified (dirty) buffers in the database buffer cache to disk. Although one database writer process (DBW0) is adequate for most systems, you can configure additional processes (DBW1 through DBW9 and DBWa through DBWj) to improve write performance if your system modifies data heavily. These additional DBWn processes are not useful on uniprocessor systems. When a buffer in the database buffer cache is modified, it is marked dirty. A cold buffer is a buffer that has not been recently used according to the least recently used (LRU) algorith...

Using GREP in UNIX

How To Use grep Command In Linux / UNIX by VIVEK GITE on AUGUST 2, 2007 · 147 COMMENTS H ow do I use grep command in Linux? grep command searches the given file for lines containing a match to the given strings or words. By default, grep prints the matching lines. Use grep to search for lines of text that match one or many regular expressions, and outputs only the matching lines. The name, "grep", derives from the command used to perform a similar operation, using the Unix/Linux text editor ed: g/re/p grep command syntax grep 'word' filename grep 'string1 string2' filename cat otherfile | grep 'something' command | grep 'something' Use grep to search file Search /etc/passwd for boo user: $ grep boo /etc/passwd You can force grep to ignore word case i.e match boo, Boo, BOO and all other combination with -i option: $ grep -i "boo" /etc/passwd Use grep recursively You can search recursively i.e. read all files under each ...
