comment ora-07202 when creating standby database
Just FYI, the ORA-07202 is signalled when a 0 or NULL string is the result of a parsed parameter (the '' for *.diagnostic_dest in this case.

comment How do I set the external editor for PostgreSQL's psql client?
I suspect /Users/username/bin/mate is a symbolic link to /usr/local/bin/mate, which doesn't exist.

Is it producing an actual error? I thought the message you quoted was just for information purposes?

Does restoring to something else even make any sense? What do you want to do with the resulting data?

comment Oracle - capture row commit order in a table
May I ask if you're inserting in multiple threads? That changes the answer somewhat. May I ask what the real scenario is? You have things inserting and things reading - does the order really make a difference, or do you just need to ensure that everything is processed no matter what order? If you need to process in order, you must have multiple processes inserting (otherwise the answer is trivial) & then the insert order is possibly meaningless (unless timestamped) given that the multiple processes won't insert in the same order given any number of re-executions.

comment Oracle - capture row commit order in a table
Judging by your last comment, you don't actually want the order rows were committed in. All you need is a normal sequence. What an odd way to ask the question!

comment Disable explicit commits in JDBC, detect them in SQL, or put the database in a readonly state
No, that's not what I meant at all. You create the table in that example at the beginning of the session (with an abstract name) & put the dummy row in. It's there as a wrapper to protect you from a COMMIT. Execute the users code after.
