使用外部表查看ORACLE报警日志目得：首先了解什么是外部表，与其它表的区别，建立一个简单的外部表（主要看操作过程），最后我们用外部表查看ORACLE报警日志
1．了解oracle外部表外部表定义：结构被存放在数据字典，而表数据被放在OS文件中的表
作用：在数据库中查询OS文件的数据，还可以将OS文件数据装载到数据库中
与其它表的区别：在外部表上不能执行DML操作，也不能在外部表上建索引，只能执行select操用
2．建一个简单的外部表1．建一个OS上的文件因为外部表主要是查看OS上的文件，首先在OS上建一个文件
mkdir -p /oracle/ext
vi /oracle/ext/ext.dat
10,20,30
40,50,60
70,80,90
2．授予用户权限，并建立目录对象在此我们先建一个新用户
create user test identified by “xml:namespace prefix = st1 />123” default tablespace test quota unlimited on test;
用户授权
SQL> grant create any directory to test;
建立目录对象
SQL> conn test / 123
Connected.
SQL> create directory ext as '/oracle/ext';
Directory created.
3.建立外部表SQL> create table exttable(
id number,name varchar2(10),i number
)organization external
(type oracle_loader
default directory ext
access parameters
(records delimited by newline
fields terminated by ','
)location('ext.dat')
);
4.测试SQL> select * from exttable;
ID NAME I
---------- ---------- ----------
10 20 30
40 50 60
70 80 90
测试成功,可见在数据库中可以查询OS文件的数据
2. 使用外部表查看oracle报警日志由于在上面实验中已建立了一个用户,并赋相应的权限,而且也有了OS文件(即报警文件alert_SID.log),所以在此直接建立目录对象并建立外部表就可以了。
1．建立目录对象SQL> conn test / 123
Connected.
SQL> create directory bdump as '/oracle/u01/app/oracle/admin/db2/bdump';
Directory created.
2．建立外部表SQL> create table alert_log(
text varchar2(400)
)organization external
(type oracle_loader
default directory bdump
access parameters
(records delimited by newline
)location('alert_db2.log')
);
3．测试首先查看能否查到alert_db2.log的内容
SQL> select * from alert_log where rownum < 10;
TEXT

然后我们测试查报警信息’ORA-%’
SQL> select * from alert_log where text like 'ORA-%';
TEXT

测试成功,
可见我们可以使用外部表来方便的查看ORACLE的报警信息.
