[...] recently read a really good article by Coskan on the use of aliases in Linux. Following on from my recent adventures with OPAL, I’ve found a perfect excuse to use them. [...]

Hello Coskan,

to view alert log in 11g i use following syntax:
~~
alias alert11g=’adrci exec=”show homes; set home diag/rdbms/$(echo $ORACLE_SID|tr A-Z a-z)/$ORACLE_SID; show alert”‘
~~

thanks

Chen The day I understand that I could not manage software engineering was the date I am intruduced to arrarys at university

I wish I could write better code but I think I do not have intention. maybe I will give my last chance to pearl and learn pearl good enough to use array

Coskan,

really great ideas. Both the functions and the aliases must make your life so much easier. I’m now inspired to attempt similar levels of laziness
Thanks for explaining this so well.

Mike

Hi Coskan-

thanks for sharing scripts with us, really useful.

I added 2 more alias.

after setting SID

alias s=’sqlplus /’
alias ss=’sqlplus / as sysdba’

Thanks

Hi Coskan,

there are too many code.
there are array, PS3 and select command in UNIX shell.

that is a good catch indeed but not many things I can do. On our homes our tns listener is under diag/tnslsnr/hostname/listener

so If your hostname is same with db which is more likely then it is your homework to change the script like

grep rdbms/$ORACLE_SID and grep tnslsnr/$ORACLE_SID

hope it helps

Hi Coskan,

There is a little bug there for database > 11g at this

tail -f $ORACLE_BASE/`adrci exec=”show homes” | grep $ORACLE_SID`/trace/alert_${ORACLE_SID}.log

[oracle@taral oracle]$ adrci exec=”show homes”
ADR Homes:
diag/tnslsnr/taral/listener
diag/asm/+asm/+ASM
diag/rdbms/taral/taral

So, this will give

[oracle@taral ~]$ adrci exec=”show homes” | grep taral
diag/tnslsnr/taral/listener
diag/rdbms/taral/taral

So, showsid will give wrong result

alias talert=’tail -f /u01/app/oracle/diag/tnslsnr/taral/listener
diag/rdbms/taral/taral/trace/alert_taral.log’
