Comment on Delete Archivelogs from Standby after it has been applied by David Shockey

There is one thing missing and a logic error in your script.

Missing: The vdate variable is not set. May I suggest…
export vdate=`date +%Y%m%d`

Logic error: The check for and empty result from the sql query comes after you have altered the variable. The block…

if [ -z "$arch_to_del" ]; then
echo “No rows returned from database” >> ${tmpf}
exit 0
fi

…should come before the line…

arch_to_del=$(($applied_sequence-$logtokeep))

The way it is now, your if statement will never find an empty variable.

I found your script to be very useful. We are using a modified version at our site. We have an optional destination for archive logs on our primary servers (log_archive_dest_3) that is used to hold logs until they have been transmitted to the standby. This location is used by the fal process in case there is a break in communication and the mandatory destination logs have already been deleted. I modified your script to look for the and delete logs in our optional destination that have already been transmitted to the standby site.

Thanks for sharing your work!

Comment on How to script osql to run scripts using batch file? by cvdba

There is a free tool “SQLS*Plus” which is an SQL*Plus for SQL Server. Works with SQL Server 2000/2005 and 2008

Very flexible with data formatting (set lines size, pagesize, etc), variables (&, &&), spool, etc – light years better than isql, osql or sqlcmd

I downloaded SQLS*Plus from http://www.memfix.com

Nice work.
