SELECT * FROM DUAL-> Can this statement to make the quick health check?

We have a product that will "SELECT * FROM DUAL" every 5 minutes. If there is no response, it sends an incident.

My question is:-

DUAL is a magic table in Oracle. So, without access to an actual table in oracle, can we take out of this statement
before report us any problem on a database? In other words, this statement could be successful, but what are the chances
that a query on a real table can fail due to limited resources?

Thank you
Delphine

  • A tap above an object can be used to make the clip through the object?

    A tap above an object can be used to make the clip through the object?  So that transparency can see through the object.


    I have a square that has a line above it.  I would like to see the transparent background behind the square in the area occupied by STROKE. Example below:

    Transparent.jpg

    I would like the white area (which was created using the Brush tool and applying a stroke) to display the transparent background behind the red square - or whatever that fall behind the place.


    I have read and tried many tutorials and suggestions on the forum without success. (Group of knockouts, mask opacity, etc...)  I even created a much simpler red square with an accident stroke by default and still unable to get transparency through red square.


    I'm probably just missing something.


    Is this possible using a stoke?  Anyone able to help?


    Thank you

  • What can I do to make the program to run in WIndows 7 it says "incompatible".

    I have a window 7 but a version 6.1 program does not run in it. He says it's incompatible with the program. What can I do to make the program work?

    Hi Tony,.

    For you help I would be grateful if you could answer the following question:

    What program are you trying to install?

    I suggest you to install the program in compatibility mode and check.

    Make older programs in this version of Windows

    Most of the programs created for earlier versions of Windows also work in this version of Windows, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all. If a program written for an earlier version of Windows does not work, you can try to change the program compatibility settings, by using the program compatibility problems or manually choose compatibility settings.

  • Why a function in a SELECT FROM DUAL is faster?

    (1) I have a SELECT with a function. Ex:
    "SELECT DISTINCT function (...) TABLE.

    (2) I've changed to SELECT it and to put the function inside a subselect with FROM DUAL. Ex:
    "SELECT DISTINCT (SELECT function (...) Table (FROM DUAL).

    (3) the second SELECTION is faster than the first.

    I discovered this problem on my paintings and my duties. I therefore made a generic example for this forum with a common function and large table. My results:
    Table has 2.196.058 records and the field is a VARCHAR2:
    SELECT DISTINCT SUBSTR(field, 2) FROM Table-> Executed in 110 seconds
    SELECT DISTINCT (SELECT SUBSTR(field, 2) FROM DUAL) FROM Table-> Executed in 39 seconds

    Why «SELECT DISTINCT (SELECT function (...)» Table (FROM DUAL) "is faster than «SELECT DISTINCT function (...)» TABLE.


    Thank you

    Fernando

    Dang, forum software is buggy course today

    I'm sorry, I'm more confused!

    Oops, now we don't want that to happen!

    OK, back to the original question: "why call a function of a scalar subquery faster?
    Answer: because the function can come from the cache and reused instead of the function running again.

    I found this explanation step by step, which should make it clear (and it has substantially the same as what I had in mind to put in place as a test of the case later tonight), take a few minutes to read this one as well:

    http://www.oratechinfo.co.UK/scalar_subqueries.html

    When you compare the unit tests for your own testcase, it is clear that:
    -using the fractions of a second to test the scalar subquery caching will give you many different results.
    -all your table column values are distinct
    Oracle knows that it is not possible to reuse a result of cache here function, given that all the results will vary and so it will re - run your function in your query for each record in your table, no caching of scalar subquery cannot be expelled.

    Hopefully this will clear your doubts for good now ;)

    About step 7 and 8: No 11.2 for me available (yet), so I can't say anything about this, sorry about that.

    Edit

    In addition, one of your previous answers was:

    When I use a function within the SELECTION, I have a SCALAR subquery caching.

    Now, this is not 100% true.
    Depends (as always), you can have it, you will not, depends on the data allowing Oracle to reuse the results of the function of cache.

  • Selection of not transparent and this article that makes the Image

    I struggle to find the most basic things. I'm sorry.

    I recalibrated a picture.  I now have a smaller rectangle of image with a transparent area surrounding it.  I want to take the entire (non-transparent) image and make the picture I want to work with.  But how?

    I want to remove the transparent area.  If I save the jpeg format, now I get a white collar.  I think there must be a way to select the resized/upscaled image - without resorting to a Manual Crop, New, copy, paste, etc.  I want just the image.  That is, select the non-transparent section in front of me.

    Any ideas?  THX.

    The magic wand to select the transparent part.

    Invert the selection.

    Image > Crop.

  • What can I do to make the Satellite A665-S6086 run with the new memory?

    I was able to update the BIOS for my Satellite A665-S6086 by updating 2.30 on CD burning. I have Windows 7 64 bit. I needed to update the BIOS, because I upgraded my RAM/memory of 2 GB (4 GB total) two cards two cards of 4 GB (8 GB total).

    My question now is when I start my computer with the new RAM/memory (two cards that are KTT-S3BS / 4G Kingston DDR3 1333 MHZ SODIMM SGL RANK), it freezes on the screen from Windows startup. Then when I hold the power button to shut it down and restart it, it wants to start using Windows repair but then crashes again. When I put in the memory of the old man and he start up, it starts the Windows repair and runs normally.

    What can I do to make my computer run with the new memory?

    I thank very you much in advance!

    What you can do?
    Buy an another RAM modules that are fully compatible with the laptop.
    It seems that you want to use the RAM modules which are not totally compatible and therefore the system hangs.

    By the way: the CPU that is used in this notebook runs the DDR3-800 and DDR3-1066
    RAM modules.

  • I have 6 profiles but should clean up so I did only 1 'inbox' and 1 'sent' - just converted from Eudora 7 and trying to make the similar user interface.

    I just converted to Eudora paid 7 (after many years) to Thunderbird, due no problems of SSL certificate supported by Eudora.

    So far, I like Thunderbird but tried to imitate the simplest UI for Eudora. In Thunderbird, my 6 profiles are listed, each with its own subfolders «Inbox, drafts, sent, Trash & Archives» There is a long list of menu on the left side of my screen.

    Is there anyway that I can consolidate these profiles so that all incoming messages appear in an Inbox, regardless of the target profile. Similarly, can I consolidate the 'sent' and other subfolders?

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Dave (Thunderbird newbie).

    lets start terms.

    A profile is something that keeps all your settings of Thunderbird. I think that your calling account profiles. but I could be wrong.

    You have two options here.

    First for POP e-mail accounts, you can use the global Inbox Menu Tools > account settings > server settings > advanced Note that makes the account disappear from the folders pane, so that the messages should be moved to the Inbox of the local folders first.

    For IMAP accounts, there is the unified view of the folders view menu > folders > unified. IMAP accounts can simply not use a record combined due to the synchronization of messages with the server.

    Be very sure of what type of account you set up. IMAP accounts for those who have not used their and aren't aware of the synchronization of emails can be a 'new game '.

  • When I open a program, another icon appears in the taskbar. How can I change to make the correct icon?

    I tried to change the default program that appears when I open the .gif or .jpg files, so I made successfully by using the control panel.

    Then when I opened a PDF file (with Adobe Reader X), the icon that appears in the taskbar is my default program for .gif and .jpg files (in this case, paint).  I checked the options of the program by default under the control panel and it does not say that .pdf files will be opened by Adobe Reader if it is not the problem.

    When I check the properties of Adobe Reader X, the icon used is the appropriate icon.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader software, but it still happens.  I restarted the computer.

    So why Windows 7 displays the icon of the paint when a .pdf file is opened?

    I ask here because the control panel and change the default programs is a Windows 7 problem.

    Thank you
    Keith

    Oh believe me, it would drive me crazy too.

    It's probably a long shot, because as far as I know, the taskbar should not use the shortcut icon to the start menu to choose which shows... but we will try.  Just kill this reader shortcut in the start menu and make your own (just open Adobe C:\Program 9.0\Reader and do a right click AcroRd32.exe choose "send to: desktop (create shortcut)" and then falling in your Start menu.)  Try it pin to the taskbar too and then open a PDF file maybe.
    I think I know the registry keys control this icon, but I really hesitate to recommend snooping around in it.
  • Can this be achieved using the Spry Menu?

    Hello

    I saw this model and I understand that this has been done in Flash; However, I was wondering if it could be done using the Spry Menu in Dreamweaver CS5. Here's my opinion on the matter. Use the Spry Menu to make the framework and then use jQuery to animate the text inside. I just want to know if it is possible, or should I just go ahead and try to build it in Flash. Thus, a total nube you will appreciate any help or a nudge in the right direction.

    Here is the link:
    http://static.livedemo00.template-help.com/wt_40709/#! / page_splash

    This is not done using Flash. They used jQuery and Javascript written in addition to achieve.

    Here is the script, they used: http://static.livedemo00.template-help.com/wt_40709/js/scripts.js
