- 1.2.0
- The change list for 1.2.0 is quite lengthy, but there
- are several important points throughout, so please take
- a moment to read through.
- News
- =====
- Sorry folks, but a new oracletool.ini file needs to
- be installed for this version. I've added a few fields
- to it.
- As of 1.2.0, I believe I need to set a firm line on
- the lowest Oracle version that will be "supported" by
- Oracletool. This version will be 7.3.3. Why? There are
- some changes in the Oracle data dictionary between 7.1
- and 7.3 that have been causing problems for some users,
- although they have been slight. I just don't have access
- to Oracle versions < 7.3 anymore, which means I can't
- test on them.
- Encryption is here! As of 1.2.0 cookies can be encrypted
- before they are saved to your PC. I'd like to thank Richard
- Chen for pushing me to do this, and for providing some
- code to make it easier. Please read the SECURITY file
- for more information, and a security advisory which was
- also provided by Richard Chen.
- Bug fixes
- ==========
- In recent events section, log switch count was inaccurate,
- and is now fixed. Thanks to Alan Sparks for the fix.
- Rollback segment screen now checks for rollbacks which are
- not online. Previously these were not shown. Thanks to
- Pascal Lengard for the info.
- Now check DBA_CONS_COLUMNS for primary key constraint
- column names rather than DBA_IND_COLS, as Oracle8 does
- not require a primary key to be created with an index.
- If a suitable index exists, it will be used. Thanks to
- Klaus-Martin Hansche for the fix. Hope I got your name
- right.. ;)
- Fixed a couple of bugs pertaining to foreign keys in table
- DDL generation. Thanks to Hirose Masaaki for the info.
- Enhancements: Encryption - Thanks again to Richard Chen
- ========================================================
- Usernames and passwords for the database instances you
- access can now be encrypted before they are sent to your
- PC as a cookie. These were being written in plain text
- prior to 1.2.0. There are 3 different levels of security
- available in Oracletool now. These levels will be enabled
- automatically depending on which Perl modules you have
- installed. To find out what level you are at, click on the
- "About" menu item after installing v1.2.0. Here are the
- differences between the different levels, and the dependencies
- for each...
- Level 0:
- This is the level that Oracletool is at prior to v1.2.0.
- If you are at level 0 then there is no encryption of any
- kind taking place. If you do not have any of the modules
- discussed below installed, this will be your level. The
- cookie which stores the username and password for the
- databases you access will be stored in plain text on your PC.
- Level 1:
- This level uses the MIME::Base64 method of encoding. With
- this level, the username, password, and encryption string are
- encoded into a single string. The encryption string is set in
- the oracletool.ini, and is MD5 encoded before being added to
- the string. This level requires the following Perl modules...
- These modules are available at
- CPAN (http://www.cpan.org) and
- Activestate (http://www.activestate.com)
- 1) Digest-MD5
- 2) Mime-Base64
- Level 2:
- This level uses the cipher block chaining mode with
- the IDEA block cipher, and is extremely secure. It encodes
- the username and password into a single encrypted string
- based on a keyword stored in the oracletool.ini. This level
- requires the following Perl modules... These modules are
- available at CPAN (http://www.cpan.org), but not all are
- on the Activestate site when I checked prior to this release.
- This is the only reason that Level 1 encryption exists at all.
- 1) Digest-MD5
- 2) Crypt-IDEA
- 3) Crypt-CBC
- If you choose to use these security features, simply install
- the required Perl modules. Oracletool will see the modules and
- start using them for each subsequent cookie that is created.
- See your browser documentation if you want to remove the cookies
- currently on your hard drive.
- Enhancements: General
- ======================
- On tablespace / datafile fragmentation report, an
- "ALTER TABLESPACE tablespace_name COALESCE" statement
- will be printed out after the report for any tablespace
- containing at least one datafile with more than 1000
- fragments. This can be cut and pasted into a worksheet. I
- would not recommend using the Oracletool SQL worksheet for
- coalesces, as they can be long running. CGI scripts can
- time out.
- On tablespace information screen, a listing of the different
- extent sizes, and count of each different size of extent
- is listed.
- Under the DB Admin menu item, the menu has been split into
- two parts, one for DB Admin type stuff, and one for reports.
- Changed extent report under DB Admin to check for objects
- approaching max extents, and also checks each tablespace
- for objects which cannot allocate a next extent. Thanks to
- Eric Indiogine for idea.
- Added a theme called "Printing", which is a black and white
- theme which is good for pages you might want to send to a
- printer. Thanks to David Polansky for the theme. I added a
- few of my own as well, although I don't recommend them.. :).
- Anybody else? Let's see some nice themes!
- Added four keywords to each theme definition. You can now
- set a background image for the main page, and a different
- one for the menu bar, and you can make the table heading
- a different font and color than the cell font.
- Explain plan is formatted a bit nicer now, and with more
- information. Thanks to Lefty Kreouzis for suggestion and
- code change.
- Added global object lock information to OPS section.
- Added open cursor information to session statistics screen.
- An alert will be shown if the session you are displaying
- has the maximum allowed cursors open (OPEN_CURSORS parameter).
- Added additional menu under Performance / memory menu item. This
- has an entry for the display that already existed, and an additional
- display to show information from the shared SQL area in the SGA. More
- to come later, I think.
- Added enhancements to the RMAN section, particularly information
- obtained from the controlfiles pertaining to backups. RMAN menu
- item will show up if your database has been backed up using RMAN,
- or contains one or more RMAN catalogs. The most recent backup info
- can be displayed, and any datafiles added but not yet backed up
- can be displayed. This section still needs much work. Oracle8 only,
- More to come later.
- Added rollback segment administration to the DB admin menu, for
- taking segments online, offline, or shrinking.
- The Oracle Statistics Package is a new addition to Oracle with 8.1.6
- which is much more powerful than the utlbstat and utlestat scripts.
- I will be adding screens to analyze statspack data in the future. For
- now, I'm checking for the existence of the PERFSTAT.STATSPACK package
- for Oracle 8i databases. A menu item will appear if found. A statspack
- snapshot can be taken via point and click. Like the RMAN section, this
- section still needs much work. More to come later.
- Added datafile autoextend info on full datafile listing and listing
- within the individual tablespace screen for Oracle8/8i.
- Any object which matches your search via the search box can now be
- marked to display the objects which it depends on and the objects
- which depend on it. Quite handy, I've found.
- Added menu under rollback segment section. One item for showing RBS info,
- one for active or rolling back transaction info. Also enhanced the querys
- which display active and rolling back transactions.
- 1.04 Apr 26, 2000
- Bug fixes
- ==========
- Fixed bug where Oracletool selects an invalid column from
- V$INSTANCE on Oracle7 databases.
- 1.03 Apr 25, 2000
- Bug fixes
- ==========
- Fixed bug (again) in Top sessions screen which I had not quite
- fixed in 1.02. oops.
- Fixed text contained in tables to show HTML characters correctly
- instead of interpreting them. <FOO> will show correctly now, for
- example, instead of being interpreted as a tag. Thanks to Tommy
- Wareing.
- Fixed a couple of bugs pertaining to partitioned table / index
- displays.
- Enhancements
- =============
- Added variable for config file, in case you don't want to name it
- "oracletool.ini", requested by Adrian Blakey. Several mod_perl
- fixes from Adrian as well.
- Added sort area info to performance section. Thanks _again_ to
- Tommy Wareing.
- OPS page now sorts global sessions by username, and instance names
- are hyperlinks which will connect you to that instance.
- Added sortable space report by user option to DBA tasks menu.
- Added sortable space report by tablespace / user option to DBA
- tasks menu.
- Added sortable datafile fragmentation report to DBA tasks menu.
- Shows which tablespaces need to be coalesced / reorged.
- Added object extent report to DBA tasks menu. You can check for
- objects with a number of extents >= the value you enter.
- Added screen for object type "CLUSTER".
- On table, view, and source object displays, now check for synonyms
- pointing to the object.
- Started adding screens for databases which have a RMAN recovery
- catalog in them. RMAN button will show up if true. More to come
- later on this. Not much to look at now.
- On schema table listing, table types are now split up into sections
- for partitioned , Index Organized, and standard.
- On schema index listing, index types are now split up into sections
- for bitmapped, partitioned, Index Organized, and standard.
- When you select a role name under the security section, it now also
- shows the users which are granted the role, and the roles which are
- granted the role.
- Added a button for validating an index after one is selected, which
- will display detailed statistics after the validation. This button
- will only show up if you have the "ANALYZE ANY" privilege. This
- utilizes the "VALIDATE INDEX" command.
- When a table is selected for display, an "Extent mapping" button will
- show up beside the "Generate DDL" button. This will generate a
- fragmentation map similar to the tablespace / datafile frag maps,
- but it will only highlight the extents which belong to the table
- you have selected. This is a nice way to get a visual idea of how badly
- a table is fragmented. The extents are shown in alternating blue /
- white, so you can see where each starts and finishes. If the schema
- that you are running the tool as has permission, it will also run
- DBMS_SPACE.UNUSED_SPACE to gather real-time space statistics. Extent
- mapping is not yet supported for partitioned or Index Organized Tables.
- Added optional LIMIT_SEARCH parameter to config file, as suggested
- by Mark J. Scheller. Setting this parameter will make the search
- function skip the part where it checks to see if the matched objects
- are being accessed by any connected sessions. This part of the search
- can be very intensive on instances with many (thousands) of
- simultaneous connections.
- On the main page after you select a schema, the object type
- "PUBLIC SYNONYMS" will be displayed with the object types owned by the
- schema. This link will display all public synonyms which point to objects
- owned by the schema you have selected. This will only show up if there
- are PUBLIC synonyms pointing to the schema. As suggested by Richard
- Chen.
- 1.02 Apr 03, 2000 Released without announcement.
- Fixed rows which return zeros to show zeros instead of blanks.
- Nulls will still show as blank values. Thanks to Hirosi Taguti
- for suggestion.
- Top sessions screen had a bug in 1.01 which was giving Netscape
- users problems. Fixed, thanks to Tommy Wareing for patch.
- On redo log screen, log switch graph now sorts in a way that
- makes sense. This one had me stumped for a long time. Thanks
- again to Tommy Wareing for the patch.
- 1.01 Mar 31, 2000
- ** Important **
- As of 1.00, a config file is required! See entry for v1.00.
- Any environmental variable you need to set can now be put in
- the oracletool.ini file, not just the ones that are there by default.
- Some of you (Thanks, Christoph Karl) may need to set additional
- variables like ORA_NLS33, or NLS_LANG, for example. These
- variables can be placed anywhere in the config file, and should
- follow the same standard as the other parameters.
- ...
- Example: NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
- Would set $ENV{'NLS_LANG'} = 'AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1';
- Simple as that. No quotes, no $'s, just "PARAMETER = VALUE"
- Fixed bug in user DDL generation when setting default roles.
- Fixed bug in table DDL for foreign key constraint generation.
- Thanks to Stefan Sautter.
- Rollback segment screen now shows all transactions on all
- segments. Before you had to choose a segment.
- Table display now shows the columns that each index spans.
- Enhanced constraint displays on table page to include status,
- columns, referenced table, owner, and constraint name.
- Enhanced sequence display page. No longer have to click on a
- sequence to get all information.
- On table row display, Rows which return space characters will
- display properly now.
- Added global session summary to OPS specific page. Note that
- the OPS menu item does not show up for non OPS instances.
- Added session menu, with "Top sessions" selection. Top sessions
- shows all sessions in an instance and has an " auto-refresh"
- button. You can sort on any column by clicking on the column
- heading. You can display all sessions for a given user by clicking
- on the username. You can display an individual session in more
- detail by clicking on the SID. You may set AUTO_REFRESH in the
- oracletool.ini to a value, in seconds, to override the default of 10.
- Note: Sorting on the "SID" column does not work in Oracle 8.1.5
- databases. This is an Oracle bug, not an Oracletool bug.
- Oracle8 only: Schema list will highlight in red any accounts
- which do not have a status of "OPEN".
- User info screen will now show account status in Oracle8.
- Added tablespace name column to objects shown in "Recent events"
- section.
- Working on cleaning up any warnings that should occur for you
- diehard "perl -w" users. Many, but not all are gone. Sorry, I
- should have done this from the beginning... :(
- 1.00 Feb 10, 2000
- ** Important ** This config file is required now!
- Oracletool now comes with a config file. The reason for this
- is so you don't have to set variables at the top of the script
- each time you install a new version. The config file is called
- "oracletool.sam", and should be renamed to oracletool.ini. The
- parameters you need to set have not changed.
- Fixed bug in DDL generation from 0.98 which prevented proper
- display with Netscape.
- DDL can now be saved to your local disk, and can no longer be
- saved to the web server disk. Removed safemode ($safemode).
- In individual tablespace display page, tablespace_name is now
- a hyperlink which will display DDL for recreating tablespace.
- In individual rollback segment display page, segment is now
- a hyperlink which will display DDL for recreating segment.
- Added rather extensive facility for setting database auditing
- options. This facility is under "DB Admin", and will not display
- if you do not have auditing enabled. (parameter audit_trail = 'FALSE")
- This facility is not perfect yet, so if any of you are auditing,
- please give me some feedback.
- You may now browse audit trail records. You can get to this under
- "Security", or under the main auditing menu.
- When compiling an invalid object, if the compile is unsuccessful,
- the errors will now be shown.
- Search box will search for usernames and tablespaces that match
- your entry, as well as object names, "like" object_names, and
- numeric object ID's.
- Removed "Explanation" box at top right of every screen. I don't
- think anyone used it, and it's a pain to maintain. I don't expect
- that anyone will miss it.
- Fixed a couple of partitioned table/index display bugs.
- 0.99 Skipped
- 0.98 Jan 16, 2000
- Fixed bug in explain plan query. Thanks to Mark J. Scheller.
- Mark, you're an excellent exterminator, thank you.
- Fixed shading problem when displaying some HTML tables with
- multiple columns.
- Added "Recent events" section. This shows all users, roles
- and datafiles added within the last 30 days. Shows objects
- that have been created or altered within the last 24 hours.
- Shows # of redo log switches in the last 24 hours.
- Rollback segments section now checks for any transactions in
- the instance that are in an active rollback. Also shows information
- about all transactions occupying the rollbacks of the instance you
- are connected to.
- DDL generation will now generate "alter table" statements for tables
- which have foreign keys referencing the table(s) you are generating
- DDL for. So, if you do a "Drop table foobar cascade constraints", this
- will ensure that all referential integrity constraints for that table
- are put in place when it is recreated, including those that reference
- that table.
- DDL generation will now extract table and column comments.
- DDL generation now checks for CACHE attribute on Oracle8 tables. Thanks
- to Duc Nguyen. Cache attribute is now shown under table info screen as
- well.
- Added "$safemode" variable, which disables writing files to the OS for
- DDL generation. Output still goes to screen.
- When a shema is selected, if the schema has invalid objects, a button
- will show up at the bottom of the screen showing the number of invalid
- objects. Pressing the button will take you to a display of the objects
- where they can be marked for recompile.
- Hyperlinks will now only show up on the entity name they pertain to,
- not across the whole row of values. Suggested by Hirosi Taguti.
- Added "DB Admin" menu item. This is a work in progress, and more will
- be added in the future.. Thanks for the suggestions, keep them coming.
- These menus will activate only if the user logged into the tool has
- the proper privileges to perform the actions.
- User administration:
- Reset user passwords.
- Create users.
- Create users "like" other user. New user will inherit quotas,
- profile, default TS, temp TS, roles, and system privileges
- as selected user.
- Drop users.
- Session Administration:
- Sessions may be marked for kill and killed in batch. Yeah! :)
- Object administration
- Displays a list of invalid objects, which can be marked for recompile.
- Reverse engineer tables:
- Multiple table names may be entered for reverse engineering of
- DDL. An output filename may be entered to send commands to hardcopy.
- Output will still go to screen as well. Separate section for selecting
- a particular schema. All tables for the schema will be displayed, and
- can be marked for erverse engineering.
-
- 0.97 Dec 08, 1999
- Many changes in version 0.97, so let me know if you have
- problems, and I'll get to them as quick as possible. In
- particular, I did some work with the cookies, so let me know
- if you see anything strange with that.
- Nifty new look to Oracletool thanks to a suggestion and code
- example from David P. Fannin. Thanks David, looks great! I
- think it is safe to say that I took your idea and ran with it!
- Oracletool now has color themes which can be chosen interactively,
- and the theme you choose will be used each time you use the tool.
- Because your theme is stored as a cookie on your browser, each
- user of the tool can choose their own theme. Themes can be created
- very easily, and there is an explanation in the "doTheme" subroutine,
- so if you create a cool theme please send me the values, and I'll
- add it to the public version. Most of mine are pretty lame... :(
- The themes can be displayed via a button at the bottom of the
- "properties" screen.
- A "properties" button has been added. This allows you to set
- defaults that will override the themes. For instance, if you
- like the "Default1" theme, but the font is too small, you can
- select a larger font in the properties area. If you have a
- suggestion for something that should be added to the properties
- area, let me know.
- Font is much more consistent throughout the tool.
- Continuing down the non read-only path, the session listings
- will now show a button to kill the session if it is active.
- This button will only appear if the user running the tool
- has "ALTER SYSTEM" privilege. Also, explain plan button
- will show up only if there is SQL to run against.
- Session listing layout has changed to save browser space.
- Changed the datafile fragmentation display again. Took away the
- hyperlinks. It was too slow, too much bandwidth etc. It's now
- just a display again, and still without GD.pm.
- Fixed a bug where a tablespace would not show up in the allocation
- graph if it was 100% full. Thanks to Mark J. Scheller for fix.
- Now use more updated DBD::Oracle way to fetch LONGS. Thanks to
- John Williams for fix.
- Changed tablespace information listings slightly for Oracle8 and 8i.
- Added more detailed tablespace listing to rollback segment area
- showing info about all tablespaces containing rollback segments.
- Also added optimal size to display.
- Added hyperlink on individual user toplevel page. Username is now
- a hyperlink which will generate SQL for recreating the user, setting
- defaults, adding grants etc.
- If a package / procedure / view etc. is invalid, when selected an error
- report will display.
- Added "Refresh" button to several screens. This can be added to other
- screens very easily as well. Let me know if you want it in other areas.
- Many future additions to Oracletool will be non read-only, but the
- options will show up for use only if the user connected has the authority
- to do the action, if possible. Having said this, I'm looking for enhancement
- suggestions. What do you want it to do?
- Thanks to Alexey Vekshin and Stephane Faroult for suggestions
- pertaining to this release, and several releases before.
- 0.96 Nov 15, 1999
- The GD.pm module for creating images is no longer used or required.
- Because of the copyright problems with the GIF format, there are
- two GD.pm versions; One that outputs GIF, and one that outputs PNG.
- The one that outputs PNG can be a hassle to install, so I decided
- to let it go for the time being. I may look at it again in the future.
- Added (rewrote) EXPLAIN PLAN functionality. Now you can run an
- explain plan on any sql shown in the sessions lists, or run
- an explain plan from scratch. The main tool window will connect
- as the owner of the SQL (password is required), while the menu
- will remember who the actual user of the tool is. The username
- and password of the explain plan user will not be stored as a cookie
- on the client side, as the user running the tool is. This means you
- will need to enter a password for each explain plan that you run.
- For those of you that found the hidden explain plan facility before,
- hopefully you will like this one better. Please let me know of any
- improvements that should be made to this facility.
- NOTE: I cannot claim that Oracletool is a 100% READ-ONLY application
- any longer, because during an explain plan..
- 1) If a PLAN_TABLE does not exist for the user executing the SQL,
- Oracletool will create it on the fly (and display a message to
- that effect).
- 2) During an explain plan, records will (obviously) be added to the
- PLAN_TABLE. These records will have a unique identifier, and will
- be deleted immediately following the explain plan. The PLAN_TABLE
- will not be removed.
- Changed tablespace / datafile fragmentation displays. No longer is
- an image created using GD. Instead, an HTML display is generated, and
- each occupied block can be clicked on to display the object which
- resides in that block. This may not look as good as it did with the
- GD image, but is more functional.
- Added top CPU users to Perf / memory section. Requires
- TIMED_STATISTICS = true (which does not produce nearly as much overhead
- as many DBA's would have you think).
- Fixed SQL worksheet describe command. Was showing columns for
- all table names that matched, not just one schema.
- Updated / added help screens. I doubt anyone ever looks at them
- anyway.
- 0.95 Nov 2, 1999
- Oracletool now produces DDL! There is now a "Generate DDL" button
- which will display when you are viewing table information. When
- you press the button, Oracletool will reverse engineer the create
- table statement, the create index statements, the primary key constraint,
- the check constraints, the unique constraints, the foreign key
- constraints, and the grants for that table. All of the DDL is produced
- in an easy to read format. This is still Beta, so let me know if you
- see any inaccuracies.
- Fixed session statistics screen to show Oracle8i long operation
- information correctly.
- Split object source display into two columns, one with line numbers
- for debug purposes, and one without, for cutting to recreate.
- Thanks to Dianne Scott.
- Updated partitioned table screens to support Oracle8i.
- Added OS port info to banner. This shows the hardware and Operating
- System the engine is running on. Pretty neat, although not always
- completely accurate.
- Began support for advanced replication (Oracle8 only).
- Oracletool will not attempt a connect to the instance unless a valid
- cookie is found. It will prompt for the username/password, and cut
- down on messages in the sqlnet.trc file
- Sessions now sorted by status.
- 0.94 Oct 10, 1999
- Fixed table column display to show proper length and decimal
- precision. Thanks to Phillip Chin.
- Added global variable "$gd" to user variables at top of script.
- Oracletool will only look for the GD.pm module if this is set.
- This is because of the copyright problems going on with libgd.
- GD.pm versions 1.19 and below produce gif images, GD.pm versions
- > 1.19 produce png images.
- Changed Oracletool to work with both gif and png versions of GD.pm,
- (hopefully). Please let me know of bugs.
- Thanks to Marcos Colpaert for patch.
- Added simple displays for the following object types. INDEXTYPE,
- JAVA CLASS, JAVA RESOURCE, LIBRARY, OPERATOR, QUEUE.
- Added session I/O display to sesion stats section.
- Fixed fragmentation image generation caching problem. Thanks to
- Mark J. Scheller.
- 0.93 Sep 09, 1999
- Emergency release. 0.92 had a bug which prevented proper menu
- display.
- Added V$SESSION_WAIT info to session statistics.
- 0.92 Sep 08, 1999
- Added controlfile section. Detailed information concerning record
- storage for Oracl8 databases. Quite boring for oracle7 databases.
- Added object access list to session statistics page under the
- "sessions" section.
- Added replication section. Buttons will show up only if you are
- using replication. Separate buttons for master (M) and snapshot (S)
- sections. Those of you using replication, please let me know what
- needs to be added / enhanced / fixed here. Oracle8 only
- All date / time fields now displayed in HH24 format for consistency.
- Added enhancement to DisplayTable etc. subroutines to align number
- fields to the right. Looks much nicer. Thanks to Peter Speck.
- Fixed bug in Session info for Oracle8i. Looks like we are cool for
- Oracle8i now. Thanks to Marc Beasley
- Added additional information to table and index listing. Thanks
- to Stephane Faroult (http://www.oriolecorp.com)
- Added trigger check on detailed table information page. Thanks
- to Stephane Faroult
- 0.91 Aug 09, 1999
- Added security section - Roles, Profiles, Auditing. Auditing info
- is beta, and unfinished.
- Fixed tablespace allocation query. Tablespace information screen
- and allocation graph are both VERY MUCH faster now. This is a very
- positive change for those of you who have many tablespaces, as the
- query is now very quick.
- Added archived redo log information section.
- SQL-Worksheet now supports DESCRIBE / DESC, but it does not follow
- synonyms as SQL*Plus describe does, or describe packages, procedures
- etc. Does anyone even use the SQL-Worksheet?
- Added instance startup date/time to banner. Thanks to Virgil Aviles.
- Changed the way SELECT ANY TABLE privileges are checked for.
- 0.90 Jul 05, 1999
- NOTE: Oracletool.pl now requires the GD.pm module for creating GIF
- images. This is the first release to require this module. GD.pm is
- a very reliable and easy to install module. It won't take you but
- a few minutes to install it if you don't already have it.
- Added datafile fragmentation image generator. When you select a
- datafile, an image will be generated in addition to all of the
- information previously displayed. The image will NOT be written to
- disk on your web server. If you want to have a similar map generated
- when you select a tablespace, uncomment line 1981. I have this commented
- out by default because some databases have such large tablespaces that
- it is just not practical to generate that type of image for them. I'll
- let you make the call on this one. Thanks to Mark J. Scheller for the
- idea.
- You may enter an OBJECT_ID number in the search box instead of a name
- if you need to do such a search.
- Added sort information to performance section.
- Improved process number resolution in session information area.
- Thanks to Michael Roever.
- Fixed TO_CHAR format error in tablespace information area.
- Made users profile name a hyperlink for a display of parameters / values.
- Added "$dbh->{LongReadLen} = 2048;" to DisplayTable subroutine to correct
- error on tables with LONG columns. Thanks to Mark J. Scheller.
- 0.89 May 18, 1999
- Added "where clause" text box for when you display 25 rows of a table or view.
- Added a checkbox on the database selector for deleting password cookies.
- Added an additional text area on the database selector for those who
- are running Oracle Names to type in a connection and let it be resolved
- by names.
- Changes GetTNS subroutine to not truncate domain names from connection
- strings. Many thanks to Dima Dorofeev for the code contribution.
- 0.88 May 12, 1999
- Added SQL Worksheet. Can be used for both selects, and DML statements.
- Added support for partitioned tables and indexes. Oracle8 only, obviously.
- Changed the way the script checks for "SELECT ANY TABLE" privilege. This way
- should work better.
- Added (somewhat poor) POD documentation.
- Took out the hardcoded database name from the search function. Oops. Fixed a couple of
- other bugs too.
- Added "EXPLAIN PLAN" subroutine. This is beta and commented out by default. Eventually,
- this tool will have a sister tool for users without "SELECT ANY TABLE" privilege. I
- will probably leave explain plan out of this one and add it to that. If you would like to
- try the explain plan, uncomment out line 3663. I'll listen to any suggestions you have,
- but I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with this one yet.
- 0.87 May 05, 1999
- Public release to freshmeat.
- Made the object list for tablespaces, datafiles, and object search hyperlinks to info screens.
- 0.86 May 04, 1999
- I've changed the basic look of the tool quite a bit. There's now a persistent menu on the
- left side of the screen for all of the major areas (Tablespaces, Users, Rollbacks etc.).
- Added button to show all privileges granted to the selected object.
- Added "Performance / memory" area with some of the stuff that was previously under
- the initialization parameters section, and some new stuff including info from the
- V$LIBRARY_CACHE dynamic performance table. If anyone has a performance
- or memory related query that they want to share, please do.
- Added query to user info section to show the number of objects the user own of each of
- the different object types.
- Made object list entries for tablespaces and datafiles clickable links to additional information
- screens.
- Still working on the daemon....
- 0.85 April 28, 1999
- OK, OK, I heard you! Cookies are here!! No more password file. I just put this in today,
- and have not tested extensively, but it seems to work fine for me. Let me know if any
- of you run into problems using the new password system. I'll add a variable for setting
- the expiration date later.
- Updated session info to display sessions whether they are active or inactive. Previously
- displayed only active sessions. Also added "command" column. Handy for seeing if a
- transaction is rolling back, cause that's kinda tricky in Oracle.
- Not much else this time because I'm spending alot of time writing a daemon to accompany
- the tool, which will store historical data in the database (disk I/O, growth, session count info
- etc.). I'll probably release that (beta) in about a month or so. It will include some nifty line graphs
- created using GIFgraph (GD). This daemon will be optional, and the tool will work with or
- without it. The added functionality will display automagically if you are running the daemon.
- I will also be looking for help porting it to NT. The tool itsself will remain read-only.
- 0.84 March 31,1999
- Started adding Oracle Parallel Server specific stuff. Very basic yet. These features will
- display only if you are running OPS.
- Added help for every screen. Also quite basic. The help button shows up in the footer of
- each screen.
- Fixed ORA-1476 (Divisor is equal to 0) and inaccurate table analyzation information when
- a table that has been analyzed but has no rows is selected.
- Changed connection to use 'dbi:DriverName:$database_name' instead of 'old-style'. I guess
- this makes me an old timer..
- Added object search capability. Searches database for "like" objects, displays them, and
- sessions currently accessing them. Search box is at the bottom of every page.
- Probably a couple of other little things I've forgotten about.
- 0.83 March 23,1999
- I decided to change the initial screen to use a "submit" button because
- someone reminded me that all browsers do not support Javascript. KDE's
- file manager, for example. I doubt it would have worked with BeOS's
- NetPositive browser either.
- I also took away the "Back to the page you came from" link on every page. I
- find I use the "Back" button if I want to go back. Instead, I replaced it with
- two buttons. One to go to the "toplevel", where the users are listed, and on
- to go to the connections screen. (The first page).
- Added a report to show all of a users objects split up by the tablespace's
- they reside in. It's a button after a users object types list.
- Tested under WinNT4, service pack 4, with IIS4. Worked fine. Added some comments
- in the script pertaining to Win32 users. Stuff they probably already know anyway.
- 0.82 March 22,1999
- Fixed initial database list to accept entries with dashes.
- Added object lock info for non-contending object locks.
- Fixed bug for OCI that crashed on an ORA-01005 (null password). Thanks
- to Kenny Klatt.
- Added hyperlink back to the toplevel page for each page.
- 0.78 - 0.81 March 20,1999
- Fixed tablespace fragmentation query.
- Added LAST_DDL_TIME to tablespace object list.
- Only display "show active sessions" button if user has active sessions.
- User list table now highlights users that are currently connected, and
- puts users with DBA authority in bold and parenthesis.
- Fixed password file update to not use `cp`. Still thinking about whether the
- password file is a good idea or not.
- Fixed primary key and column constraint queries to check for object ownership.
- Fixed initial database list to take off '.world' and weed out duplicates from
- tnsnames.ora and oratab. Thanks to Dmitry Dorofeev.
- Added several additional graphs.
- Now use well known (except to me) variable ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME'} to get script name
- instead of the stupid way I was doing it before. :-)
