Problem You are looking at ways of ensuring atomicity and consistency in your database by ensuring transactional integrity. You may want to avoid locks, or ensure problems such as lost updates or dirty reads cannot occur, or otherwise ensure the quality of your data. Transactional isolation is a narrow but somewhat complex subject that might be ideal for your needs. Solution This article will cover the five transaction isolation settings - READ UNCOMMITTED, READ COMMITTED (locking), READ COMMITTED (snapshot), REPEATABLE READ and SERIALIZATION. You

I have a request from user that he want to run a report from server automatically on third Monday every month, I use the following Unix shell script to take care of it. #RUNDATE=`cal |awk 'NR == 3 { print $2; }'` #if [ "$RUNDATE" == '' ]; then NUMBERFIELD=`cal |awk 'NR == 3 { print NF; }'` if [ $NUMBERFIELD -lt 6 ]; then         RUNDATE=`cal |awk 'NR == 6 { print $2; }'`         else RUNDATE=`cal |awk 'NR == 5 { print $2; }'` fi echo $RUNDATE TODAY=`date +%e` if [ $TODAY == $RUNDATE ]; then echo "Today `date +%Y%m%d` is run day!" else echo "Today `date +%Y%m%d` is NOT run day!" echo "run date should be at ${RUNDATE}th, which is the thrid Monday for each month." exit fi ... sqlplus -s / as sysdba <<- EOF         SET MARKUP HTML ON ENTMAP ON SPOOL ON PREFORMAT OFF         SET ECHO OFF TERM OFF VERIFY OFF FEEDBACK OFF TRIMS OFF PAGESIZE 999         set markup html on
