Hi Ponsing,

Max salary query works fine. Let me know the db version you are trying to execute this.

hi sir,
how to use rank pls explain with an example

Hi Hema,

1. Do not use 'minus' clause to get the result that you are expecting. MINUS clause is used as one of the set operators check my presentation Link

To get the answer you need use arithmetic operator - instead of MINUS.



2. Refer to the same presentation above on UNION and other set operators.

An index is a performance-tuning method of allowing faster retrieval of records.

View in Oracle and in other database systems is simply the representation of a SQL statement that is stored in memory so that it can be easily reused.

CREATE VIEW emp2 as select ename,sal from emp;


3. RANK calculates the rank of a value in a group of values. The return type is NUMBER.


SELECT RANK(3000) WITHIN GROUP
(ORDER BY salary DESC) "Rank of 3000" FROM emp;

Hi Hema,

You have to write the statement as shown below below,

select length('salesman') - length(replace('salesman','s','')) from dual;

'Linux-x86_64 Error: 28: No space left on device' While trying to start the database -- Error

SQL> startup mount pfile='/tmp/initdlfasp12.ora'
ORA-27102: out of memory
Linux-x86_64 Error: 28: No space left on device


This as you can see is on Linux x86 with 64 bit processor. We got this error after we changed SGA on 10gR2 database. So was sure that this is something to do with the OS.

Parameters to check for this are shmall.

shmall is the total amount of shared memory, in pages, that the system can use at one time.

$cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
53687091200

$ getconf PAGE_SIZE
4096

As per Oracle SHMALL should be set to the total amount of physical RAM divided by page size.

Our system has 64GB memory, so change kernel.shmall = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 64 / 4096 = 16777216


Once this value is calculated you can modify Linux system configuration file directly.

$ su - root
vi /etc/sysctl.conf file:
kernel.shmall=16777216

and

# sysctl -p

Once this is done the database was started without any problem.
