KUP-04074: no write access to directory when trying to query EXTERNAL table

Hi All,
You may think that in order to query external table you should have only read permission on the Directory Object which sounds very reasonable....
but in some external table the definition include this part of code:

ACCESS PARAMETERS
       ( records delimited by newline
          LOGFILE  "EXTERNAL_FILES":'faults.txt'
      FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';'

            missing FIELD values are null

this definition force a write permission on the directory object. 
else you will run into this error:

ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04074: no write access to directory object EXTERNAL_FILES
29913. 00000 -  "error in executing %s callout"
*Cause:    The execution of the specified callout caused an error.
*Action:   Examine the error messages take appropriate action

this will do the work:

GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY EXTERNAL_FILES TO USER;


Thanks,

mount.nfs: backgrounding

if you face this kind of error with your remote NFS: [root@Vertica000 ~]# mount /files/application/Rremote3 mount.nfs: backgrounding "10.0.0.2:/files/application/remoteFiles" mount.nfs: mount options: "bg,hard,nointr,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,tcp,actimeo=0,vers=3,timeo=600,addr=10.0.0.2" look for the problem in the log file: cat /var/log/messages | grep mount  mount to NFS server '10.0.0.2' failed: timed out, retrying Solution: In most of the cases, you have a problem with your iptables in the destination server login as root to dest server (10.0.0.2) in my case and type this command: iptables --flush  the go back to your origin server to try remount the problematic NFS file system of course this is in case nfs server was installed and functioning properly. Good luck.

ora-65035 while create pluggable database from another one

or : ORA-21000: error number argument to raise_application_error of -65035 is out of range Cause: this error caused because of an unrecoverable transaction in the source DB. Solution: 1. either stop and start your pluggable source DB 2. identify the open transaction and kill it if you can. use this query to do so: select * from v$transaction t,v$session  s where t.ses_addr = s.saddr;
