    Hello Brian!

    I’ve downloaded your file Build_Oracle_RAC_VMs.docx and tried to open it in MS Word 2007.
    MS Word shows me an error message – something like file corrupted , and asks to recover it. After recover I am able to see text, but not pictures. I tried to download several times, but with the same result. So could you please fix it.

    Thank you for your great work
    Edward Okhvat

    Cheers,
    Brian

    Hi Brian,
    I recently purchased your book Oracle RAC Performance Tuning, and I am finding a wealth of great information in it. I am especially enamored by the chapter on RAC Support tools. Congratulations on writing a great book.
    On a different note, the URL for the code depot seems inaccessible-rampant.cc/RACTune.htm
    And I was very surprised that the mail id provided in the book for technical assistance for downloading the scripts-rtp@rampant.cc doesn’t work either.
    Could you please help out? Who should I be contacting for this?

    Thanks in Advance,
    Saibal

    1. I’m sorry to hear that you are having difficulties the code samples. I’ll notify the publisher. I have also made these available on my GitHub repository. Go to this link: https://github.com/BPeaslandDBA/OracleTuningScripts/
      Then click on the Download Zip button. You’ll get all the scripts in that project. One of those will be another zip file with the code from the book.

      Thanks for enjoying the book! Always good to hear great comments.

    Many thanks for the 11.2.0.2 Upgrade with Standby on RAC article, helped me a lot.

  7. Hi Brian,

    Wanted to point out there have been some new developments since your February post “Oracle RAC on Third-Party Clouds”.

    First of all, the Oracle paper referenced in the post is no more available, it’s under review.

    At the same time both AWS and Azure are referring to a solution for running production RAC in cloud:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/workloads/oracle/oracle-considerations

    Thank you for your great blog!

    Hi Brian,

    I enjoyed your post on encrypted passwords in 12c, and use of the IDENTIFIED BY VALUES clause to flip a user’s password back and forth between unknown and known values.

    Which version of 12c were you working on for that issue?
    I have 12.1.0.2, and 18.5.
    The differences I see in USER$ between those two versions is that in 18.5 the PASSWORD column is null.
    But in 12.1 the PASSWORD column is still populated with the short form (un-salted) of the encryption.

    Also, I have expdp users out of 11.2 and impdp them into 12.1 without hitting the password ORA you reference.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks!

    1. In that article, I believe I used 12.1.0.2. As you have discovered, in other versions, the password column is blank in SYS.USER$. However, the data you seek is in the SPARE4 column of that table.

      Thanks for reading!
