A client is testing a system on Oracle 9i and Win 2000 (why not 10g and
2003 etc? dont ask, long story).
Performance was poor. Among other issues, we discovered that the Oracle
datafiles are badly fragmented. This is fragmentation in the Windows sense
of the physical file being all over the disk, not the Oracles internal file
fragmentation.
Each Oracle DB file is typically in several thousand fragments (I have no
idea how it got that bad and finding out would take too long). The defrag
program reports 112 files, 260GB total disk space, and an impressive 234,000
file fragments.
The problem: so far they cannot defragment the Oracle data & index files.
They have just tried to defragment the disk which works for other files not
for the Oracle files (*.ora). They tried using Diskeeper and PerfectDisk
with the same result.
They tried the defragment-at-boot-time options with these programs, i.e. to
do the defrag before oracle starts up and perhaps prevents the ora files
being moved. Still no good.
There is plenty of spare space (36%) on the disks which are NTFS RAID5.
Seems a silly problem, there must be an easy answer....?
I am not an Oracle DBA by the way, but a general consultant looking at this
along with some other issues.

1. Shutdown the database normally.
2. Backup all the files on the disk.
3. format the drive(s).
4. restore the files to the disk.
5. Startup the database.
I had a similar experience and no amount of defrag stuff would help. I
finally had to format the drive and that wiped out hte fragmented master
boot record and I could have a defragged disk.

I still have no clear idea of Application_OnEnd functioning on w2000 both
Pro and Server.
I have this sub in my global.asa which is supposed to save Application scope
variables to a file. (then Application_OnStart will restore theses variables
from the file)
It worked fine on local w98/PWS and on ISP NT4-Server/IIS4
To initiate Application_OnEnd and Application_OnStart for test purposes it
was sufficient to re-upload global.asa

The database server is on the local network. From my development machine,

client machines that do not have Oracle client installed (hence missing all
the ODBC connectivity support files/drivers). What is the minimum...

Hi!
How can I access files on intranet. I have mapped a
serverfolder to the drive letter G and try to access a
file from ASP.NET, but File.Exists("G:\filename.ext")
returns false. The same code in Windows Forms returns
true, so I guess it has something to do with the
permissions. I set all rights to the IUSR_machinename.
This is enough to make it work locally on C: but not on G:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
