emctl stop dbconsole

open the file $ORACLE_HOME/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_DBConsole_service_name/config/server.xml
and add the following line before the </application-server> element:

<application name=”dva” path=”$ORACLE_HOME/dv/jlib/dva_webapp.ear” parent=”default” start=”true” />

OC4J_DBConsole_service_name is OC4J_DBConsole_<machine name>_<db sid>
F.i. -  OC4J_DBConsole_my_machine_db1
Here my_machine is machine name, db1 is database name.

On Windows systems, replace $ORACLE_HOME with the absolute path to your Oracle Database home.

Open the file $ORACLE_HOME/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_DBConsole_service_name/config/http-web-site.xml and add the following line before the </web-site> element:

<web-app application=”dva” name=”dva_webapp” load-on-startup=”true” root=”/dva” shared=”true”/>

Finally start dbconsole again -

emctl start dbconsole

DVA could be accessed on your dbconsole url - port 5501 -

my_machine:5501/dva/

1. There is no database associated with this Oracle Home

This is easier. Stop all processes associated with this Oracle Home. Then go to directory $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib and execute

cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
make -f ins_rdbms.mk dv_on lbac_on ioracle

Now continue with database creation and ensure that Database Vault option is selected(using dbca).

2. There is a database associated with this Oracle Home

Stop all processes associated with this Oracle Home -database(s), listeners, etc. Then go to directory $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib and execute

cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
make -f ins_rdbms.mk dv_on lbac_on ioracle

Now startup the database and execute the script catols.sql as user SYS -

SQL>@?/rdbms/admin/catols.sql
The script will shutdown the database and the last lines from the execution show
…
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.

Start the database.

Finally, database vault option must be enabled. Easiest way is by Database Configuration Assistant - dbca.

Start dbca tool and select ‘Configure Database Option’. Click Next.

Select designated database. Click Next.

Select ‘Oracle Database Vault’ option. Click Next.

Enter name and password for Database Vault Owner and Database Vault Account Manager. The Database Vault Owner account manages Database Vault roles and configuration. The Database Vault Account Manager account is used to manage database user accounts. You can choose whatever username and password you want, but they should comply with the password policy -at least 8 and at most 30 characters, must contain at least one alphabet, one digit and one non-alphanumeric character.

Click ‘Finish’ to finish the process.

ORA-01450: maximum key length (6398) exceeded

Database has character set AL32UTF8, national character set UTF8  and uses CHAR semantic (nls_length_semantics).

If charset is AL32UTF8 and semantic is BYTE, there is no error by database creation. Also if semantic is CHAR, but charset is WE8MSWIN1252 f.i. - also there is no problem.

It seems that by using both AL32UTF8 and CHAR semantic, the error appears by adding database vault.

The problematic statements actually is

ALTER TABLE DVSYS.”IDENTITY_MAP$”
ADD CONSTRAINT “IDENTITY_MAP_UK1″
UNIQUE(IDENTITY_ID#,FACTOR_LINK_ID#,
OPERATION_CODE_ID#,OPERAND1,OPERAND2)
ENABLE;

The following workarounds are possible.

1. Use block size 16K - the error doesn’t appear. But changing block size should be done only after performance tests, because this change could hardly influence database performance.

2. Use separate tablespace with block size 16K - only for database vault system objects. If you use database template, just add the following under the <CommonAttributes> section -

<option name=”DV” value=”true”>
<tablespace id=”DBVAULT”/>
</option>

and add tablespace DBVAULT (as well datafile) description later in the template file. 50M is enough as a initial tablespace size.

Of course, do not forget to set db_16k_cache_size to some appropriate value - for instance 50M.

Then database creation runs without problems and database with DB Vault, charset AL32UTF8 and and CHAR semantic is created successfully.

move the block
<?php if ( topic_is_open( $bb_post->topic_id ) ) : ?>
<?php post_form(); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<h2><?php _e(’Topic Closed’) ?></h2>
<p><?php _e(’This topic has been closed to new replies.’) ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

after first

<div class=”nav”>
<?php topic_pages(); ?>
</div>

And you got it.

find get_thread( $topic_id, $page ) in /topic.php and change it to get_thread( $topic_id, $page, true )

Simple.

“clicked”=>array(
“type”=>”INT”,
“form invisible”,
“sorta”
),
“responded”=>array(
“type”=>”INT”,
“form invisible”,
“sorta”
),

and sorting by field will disappear(small icons next to the field as well link).

<?php if( $this->get(”friendmailLink”) ): ?>
<td style=’padding-left: 20px;’><div class=’friend’><?php echo $this->get(”friendmailLink”) ?></div></td>
<?php endif; ?>

That it’s.

Just edit app/search.php - remove the part

“str”=>array(
“type”=>”VARCHAR”,
“max” =>”200″,
“text”,
“no column”,
“modify_form: form invisible”
),

and simple search disappears.

Take a look on the following example.  I will create a table with a single column - gender - and will create a bitmap index on this column.

SQL> create table t1(gender varchar2(1));

Table created.

SQL> create bitmap index idx1 on t1(gender);

Index created.

SQL> insert into t1 values(’M');

1 row created.

SQL> insert into t1 values(’M');

1 row created.

SQL> insert into t1 values(’F');

1 row created.

SQL> insert into t1 values(’F');

1 row created.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

Now I am going to insert a new row - ‘F’ without to commit.

SQL> insert into t1 values(’F');

1 row created.

If I open a second session and try to insert a new row - ‘M’, it is possible, no locks.

SQL> insert into t1 values(’M');

1 row created.

Let try to insert ‘F’ -

SQL> insert into t1 values(’F');

Now second session hangs - the first session is not commited  and there is a lock on index key for ‘F’.

Bitmap index has in our case two keys - one for ‘M’ and one for ‘F’. Each insert/update/delete locks the corresponding key, not the whole table.

When I commit the first session, the second is processed immediately -

So, in system when there are many updates, bitmaps must be avoided. They are good for readonly systems, otherwise could reduce the performance dramatically - causing many sessions to wait for the blocking sessions to commit or rollback.
