The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Extracting DDL from redo log stream

Asked by chedgey in Oracle Database

Tags: ddl, extract, oracle, log, redo

Hi guys,

This is not really my area so I was wondering if any of you guys had ever heard of this. One of the chaps in the office says he remembers hearing about extracting DDL statements directly from the redo log stream without using LogMiner. Is this possible?

My situation is that we have a real-time 24x7 operation supported buy an Oracle database (soon to be upgraded to 10g) on AIX. This supports very fast read actions as it is attached to a series of mail sorting machines at a mail centre which require query response in 100milliseconds. I need to extract large amounts of data from this database for a highly configurable transport to a data warehouse that will most likely be SQL Server 2005 based (unless Oracle decide to upgrade their BI offerings and package them free with the database).

Obviously I can do this with DataGuard (or even Oracle Streams) as we use that successfully already in some of our non real-time applications but that would entail creating a secondary AIX based database that would then send the data over to SQL Server. If I could extract the DDL directly from the redo stream then I could pass that directly to be interpreted by SQL Server but I can find no reference to doing it without the use of LogMiner.

NOTE: I cannot run extraction directly on the Oracle database as it is a third party application and we are not allowed to touch it else it invalidates all their SLAs and gives them a "get out of gaol free card" should their application fail. We are, however, allowed to use it's redo stream, hence the peculiarity of my scenario.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards
