thank you

I want different color’s for different environments that I use sqlplus on to distinguish them a bit and also add a bit of color to the whole black and white shell.

I tried using control characters that work on the OS I’m using but they get simply printed as is.

Anyone know a wrapper that I can use?

I am tring to insert bulk sql statements from syslog-ng into oracle and I find there are more thn 50% lose.

syslog daemon writes “insert statements” to a FIFO pipe, from this pipe another daemon attempts to push insert statements to sqlplus CLI.

syslog-ng daemon config

writes to FIFO pipe /var/run/ora.pipe

destination d_oracle {
pipe(”/var/run/ora.pipe”
template(”ALTER SESSION SET SQL_TRACE = true;\nINSERT INTO syslogentry (hostname, facility, SEVERITY, MSG_SENT_TIME,p
rogram, message,MSG_RCV_TIME) VALUES ( ‘$HOST’,'$FACILITY’, ‘$PRIORITY’, to_date(’$MONTH $DAY$ $YEAR $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC’, ‘mm dd
yyyy hh24:mi:ss’), ‘$PROGRAM’, ‘$MSGONLY’,SYSTIMESTAMP);\ncommit;\n”) template-escape(yes));
};

we have tried to compare number of event (insert statements) coming on this pipe by writing another script that writes to file.

pipe to db script

!/bin/sh

nohup sqlplus user/pass < /var/run/ora.pipe >> /home/oracle/log.err

pipe to file script

!/bin/sh

nohup cat /var/run/ora.pipe > /logs/debug.log

number of events in files are almost 10 times more than going in db within a given time slot.

can any one help me ?
