ORA-24244: invalid host or port for access control list (ACL) assignment
Hello everyone, So you wanted to migrate your ACLs to another database or you are trying to add a new acl entity but you got ORA-24244. There are many reasons for that error unfortunately. I wish Oracle provides us more detail about what is the error but I wanted to share what I have seen
export import ACL & ORA-24244 error during import
Hello everyone, it’s been a while since my last post. So, I wanted to write about export and import ACL privileges. They always become a pain (at least for me). after 12c, Oracle introduce us a new and easy way of ACL copying from db to db. export&import. so here is the basic command on
Which Column has Changed in Every Row?

Flashback Data Archive Problems!
Hi, if you don’t know about flashback data archive you can check this post first: http://mustafakalayci.me/2019/03/02/goodbye-log-triggers-welcome-flashback-data-archive/ I mentioned about flashback data archive (FDA) in that post and really flattered it.
