data handling issue

Hi all,
I'd like to have you opinion about the following performance/design
issue:

a logging system is generating a lot of records every our,(about
500k/day)
I need to store them in a huge Oracle RAC system
a Java web application connects to the data and executes queries on
them, mainly on last entered set of records
queries on informations stored more then 3 months ago are quite rare

as first guess I managed to store them in a table indexed by a
primary key, let's say in the table 'LOGS'
the problem is that table is going to grows very big,

have you got 'best practice' ideas to handle the situation in a better
way?

I thought about moving data priodically in a 'LOGS_ARCHIVE' table ,
for example using a Oracle job
is it necessary?
PS I can't use Oracle standard file archiving support, I need data to
stay on tables

thanks in advance

I always find it strange that we see requests like this. Sort of along the
lines of "I am building this huge Oracle database and I don't know much
about Oracle but..." Wouldn't one get people on the project who have some
knowledge and expertise on Oracle? It just strikes me as very odd.

My guess is the manager gets the cheapest programmer available and
keeps asking him to take over responsibilitie s of the more
knowledgable folks as they are laid off. Of course then the manager
hears about outsourcing to India at even lower rates and the pattern
begins again. 8^)

But seriously, I'm as puzzled as you are.

My experience in computer science is limited, I only have a First
Class Masters degree in Electronics Engineering, but I'm confident
with hard working and studying I can become 'good' as you

plus, I'll be much more professional answering in Usenet

thanks anyway

I am sure you are a hard working good person. My comment has nothing to do
with your personality, but rather why people do this. (more the fault of
the manager from not getting experienced people for a task that needs an
experienced person) It is sort of like I've been hired to design a Boeing
747 and I have experience building paper airplanes. There is quite a gulf
there in needed experience.

Jim,
I do have some experience, maybe this is the most complex project I
have dealt with, but we have enough time and resources to improve the
skills if required..
anyway the project is not so mission critical, even if a lot of data
are expected, and from a general point of view the factors are quite
calibrated

anyway we used range partitioning to handle the issue

best regards

Hi

Engineer from india here :-)..Well there are many different ways to
ask a question and depending on the way its asked you would get many
different responses :-).

Your problem can it be understood this way you want to better manage
archival data that keeps on growing but is huge and you need it
online.

Well one possible solution would be to dig into the oracle Docs and
look into partitioning.Wh ich is divide and conquer approcah for
managing data .Specifically look at range partitioning.

well if you want to be sure that usenet advice really works for you
you should take a hint and start doing test for yourself.You are smart
hmm and you will take every advice offered here and test it out.

And if you are too lazy well indian engineer here would welcome you
with open arms ..remember outsourcing is just a arms length away. :-))
regards
Hrishy

P.S:Please keep outsourcing and other bull shit away from this news
group folks.
I hate it this forum is meant for oracle and technical discussions.

I've seen a lot of Indian engineers do this very thing. I've also seen
non-Indian engineers do this type of thing. I don't think it is a
nationality or country of origin thing.

I find it very weird:
you just raise a plain technical question and so many etherogeneous
and *OT* topics come out

a simple answer like: 'try use partitioning'
would have been too complex, isn't

PS even silence is a good option sometimes

Hi, I have a question about how to put redundant information in data structures, initialized at compile time. This is often necessary for performance reasons and can't be done at run time (data structures are read only) Ideally one should be able to put the redundant information there automatically so no mistakes are possible, but in a lot of case I see no way how to do it.

I need help in implementing proper error handling. I am trying to upload a file based on the sample code below. The code works well except if the file selected is too big.
