This will be a simple select query that I can turn into an insert
statement via a shell script. We have several databases that are
currently replicated via GoldenGate and "once in a blue moon" it fails
to replicate the complete transactions from one of the databases to
one of the others. This has only happened twice in 6 months when our
flakey frame relay connection took a slight hit. It wasn't noticed
for sometime and therefore our goldengate trail files are gone (we
can't replay them). I wanted to add monitoring to identify table row
discrepancies between the 4 databases (which I have done) and then
create a script that will query a known good database and generate the
insert statements for the known bad database. The "monitor/insert
statement builder scripts" reside on a RHEL platform and I connect to
SQLSERVERs which are running on a Windows 2003 server. I am
connecting to SQLSERVER via tsql (the utility from freetds.org). It
returns the counts among other values from the tables, and I am able
to parse the output to identify the actual count then perform the
logic to decide which databases are out of sync. That is simple, but
when running a select statement, it returns the column headers and the
data and it is not a very straight forward task to code the correct
syntax for my inserts which obviously require quotes, comma separators
etc. I felt there must be a better way of doing this, that is,
extracting the data with field terminators at least.
Thanks,
Mike
