I noticed when you export data to Excel using Toad and if you have column with % symbol at the start of the value , it becomes a Percentage when exported.
This can be avoided by clicking the “Treat string fields as strings” check box during export.
This post explains how relate the Unix Process Id to Oracle Session. This is very useful when identifying a oracle session using high CPU and Memory.
It’s very easy please follow the below steps,
1. use prstat command to see the Unix processes.
prstat –a
(on HP-UX you can use top command alternate to prstat)
2. Get the Process id and login to the database as a DBA user and use the below query. instead sample value use the PID value.
select sid, s.username oracle_user, p.username os_user, s.terminal, s.machine, s.program,logon_time from v$process p, v$session s
where spid = 16473
and addr = paddr
order by logon_time desc
There are big 4’s existing in every industry but music it is well known from the Big 4 in Trash Metal (Anthrax, Slayer, Metallica, Megadeath) , Big 4 in Grunge etc.
Although the Big 4 in Trash Metal are my favorites but the big 4 I’m discussing is the Four Noble Truths described by the Buddha.
This is the most important central teaching by the Buddha. The Four Noble Truths are,
1. Life is suffering
2. Suffering occurs due to attachment or craving
3. Cessation of suffering is ending attachment or craving (due to ignorance)
4. The path to Cessation of suffering is noble eightfold path
The way I understand and experience the Four Noble Truths are , you feel unsatisfied with life , when you loose what you have or if you don’t have what other people have or if you are away from your family and friends. This un satisfied feeling is caused because you crave (attached) to them.
As the everything in the universe is impermanent and constantly changing your life will experience this unsatisfied feeling very often. Although it does not mean the life is does not have value.. it does. This is the nature of the universe and all beings go through this.
The 1 & 2 will make the beings go in a never-ending cycle of rebirth , which means more suffering.
Until Buddha discovered the 3 and 4. By eliminating the craving/attachment the beings are able to get out the cycle of rebirth and end suffering.
For this Buddha suggested Noble Eightfold path which I like to call the Big 8.. (in the next blog post)
I'm wondering why it took me 7 years to watch this movie. This just open me up to whole new world , the world of Johnny Cash.
I saw the parody movie Ward Hard based on this movie so many times on Cable and recently found the special edition DVD at the shop.
Although the movie was quite long, I enjoyed every bit of it. I love how Joaquin Phoenix & Reese Witherspoon played and sang like Johnny Cash and June Carter. My personal feeling is they both should have won the Oscar for this movie, although only Reese one it.
The music selected for the movie was very good and it was a true portrayal of that era.
This movie open me unto to the music of Johnny Cash , which I became Fan immediately and started looking for his Vinyl. Discovered all his wonderful studio albums and also great Live albums like “At Folsom Prison” and “Live and San Quentin”
Johnny cash is a real Rock Icon.. and great human being.
1. Majority of people don’t even have one meal day while others divide the one meal into several parts (entree, appetizer, main course , dessert etc.)
2. Majority of people only have one meal a day while others are not satisfied with three meals they created other in-between meals (brunch)
3. Majority of people don’t have a choice and have to eat what ever is available while others have luxury of choosing to skip meals or eat only type of food they like
4. Majority of people eat of garbage while others throw up the food they just ate
5. There are countries where majority of people are starving while other countries over produce and throw away the food to the ocean to keep the food prices up
