Compare Oracle Versions

Hi Friends,
Our company is using ORACLE 9i release 2(SE). Management needs to upgrade the system to 11g release 2(EE). But they asked me to prepare a document of advantages of using 11.2. Mainly forcusing on 11g new features and the performance. Please give me some tips to write this.
I need what are the advantages using EE over SE and what are the advantages of using 11g over 9i.
Thanks
Vishwa

  • How to supress the Oracle version in Reporting

    Hi All,

    How could i remove these which SET command is going wrong. Please advise.

    Do you have a

    After logging into the SQL*Plus console?
    If you are using sqlplus command in the sql file, then just suppress the ouput with -SILENT option or -s.

  • How to find out the Oracle Version in Windows platform (OS level)

    Hi,
    I have installed Oracle 8.1.7, 9.2.0.1 and 10.2.0.1on my Windows machine for testing purpose.
    I want to list in my code as what are all the Oracle software version installed on my machine at OS level (before connecting into oracle).
    Is there any way to get this.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Riaz.

  • Steps to upgrade my Oracle version from 11.1.0.6 to 11.2.0.1 in windows.

    Can anyone help me with the steps to upgrade my Oracle version from 11.1.0.6 to 11.2.0.1 in windows.
    Thanks in advance.

    If you are going to upgrade, you should upgrade to the latest 11gR2 patchset (currently 11.2.0.4). At a high level -
    1. Install 11.2.0.4 into a new separate ORACLE_HOME - see MOS Doc 1562139.1 and Contents
    2. Apply the latest 11.2.0.4 PSU bundle available for Windows - see MOS Doc 1454618.1
    3. Use DBUA to perform the upgrade - MOS Doc 870814.1 and Contents
    Also see
    MOS Doc 1645862.1

  • How to find out what Oracle version?

    Hi,
    Could anyone tell me how to find out what Oracle version is on your AIX/Unix machine? It looks like Oracle Installer doesn't use the native OS installation(installp,pkgadd) process, so I can't use lslpp/pkginfo to find out what filesets are installed.
    Thanks
    HQ.

    Hi!
    As far ar Oracle version is concerned, you can find it at the database level after connecting to the database
    select * from v$version;
    i am not sure if there is someway to find at the o/s level.
    Good luck

  • Index rebuild in oracle version 8i

    Hi All
    Is there any other way we know which indexes we can rebuild in a database which is using RBO in oracle version 8
    we dont want to analyze those indexes
    Thanks

    Why it is a condition that you don't want to go for analyze of the indexes?The answer to the question is almost "never".It really needs to be quantified that the rebuild will be of some benefit.On what benchmark you want to go for rebuild ofthe index?

  • Upgrade oracle version 10.1.0.4 to 10.2.0.2 or 10.2.0.4

    Hello,
    We are planning an upgrade of our CRM platform (CRM 5.0) with oracle version 10.1.0.4 to CRM 2007.
    I was wondering which oracle version i would upgrade to : 10.2.0.2 or 10.2.0.4 ?
    What do you guys think is the best/stable version ?
    Thanks for your answers.
    Rgds,
    Marc.

    Hello Marc,
    i think you are mixing up two things
    10.1.0.4 = 10g R1 with Patchset 4
    10.2.0.2 = 10g R2 with Patchset 2
    10.2.0.4 = 10g R2 with Patchset 4
    So you always upgrade from 10g R1 to 10g R2 .. and then is the question which Patchset for 10g R2.
    I would use 10gR2 with Patchset 4, because there are some nice features and not so many bug fixes to apply.
    Regards

  • Control file version 10.2.0.1.0 incompatible with ORACLE version 10.2.0.0.

    hi;
    I'm totally new to the oracle databases field...am trying to startup the database using the parameter file init.ora by using the command
    startup pfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/init.ora'
    But its giving me the following error:
    ORA-00201: control file version 10.2.0.1.0 incompatible with ORACLE version
    10.2.0.0.0
    ORA-00202: control file:
    '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/control01.ctl'
    Can anyone help me with this error?
    Thanks!

    startup pfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/init.ora'You are most likely using the wrong init.ora file. Get a list of files at /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/
    For the database ORACLE_SID that you are attempting to startup, there would be an initSID.ora or spfileSID.ora
    e.g. if the ORACLE_SID is PROD, the file would be initPROD.ora or spfilePROD.ora
    The spfileSID.ora is a binary file and should not be accessed by a text-editor.

  • Mismatch between COMPATIBLE Parameter and Oracle Version

    Hi,
    If the ORACLE version is say 11g but the compatible parameter in init.ora is say 9.2.0 or 8.1.7 what will be the effect on the database?
    Will the database behave as like 11g or of the lower version?
    If we alter the init.ora to the new version for compatible paremeter will it affect DB rebooting?
    This is an interview question and i could not answer.
    Please let me know the answers.

    I see that there are several not needed date to char conversions. I could imaging that they confuse the query merge mechanism. Other than that: try to strip down the query to the smallest posisble set of colum combination. So that you can see where the error comes from.

  • Comparing Oracle and MS SQL Server 2005

    Hi!
    I'm looking for documents which compare
    features, price etc og the database and database related development-projects
    I'm looking for resources that describe the terminology used of MS and Oracle for their db's.
    I'm also looking for "Feuerstein"-best-practices in MS-world.
    And at last I'm looking for simple and complex scenarios comparing performance/features of these db's.
    And if possible, I want them from some "independent" sources...
    Can anyone help?
    Best regards
    Bjorn Dorr Jensen

    Hi Hans!
    I think it would not be fair comparing Oracle 10g with SQL Server 2000.
    So thats why I'm looking for comparison with SQL Server 2005,
    but if you have something that compare Oracle 11 with SQL Server 2005,
    let me hear about it :-)
    The objective:
    well, the last 2 years I worked with Oracle DB (tuning, pl/sql) in an serious manner.
    and now I have to work with SQL Server (which I didn't work with the last 2 years),
    so I'm interested in the differences.
    For now it seems that many SQL Server features are primitive compared with Oracle, but Microsofts usability is much better.
    O1.) But is it really more primitive or are I'm missing the nessessary experience with SQL Server? Thats some of the points I want to find out.
    O2.) Analyzing our own requirements for features: when would it be better to use Oracle and when to use MS? How to make this measure-able?
    Could one make an descision tree like:
    when more than x users/day and clustering needed and db_size>y....
    O3.) Should I promote in an environment with people only using MS-products,
    promote the use of Oracle-DB? When will this be an good idea?
    (I don't think it will be an good idea the other way around: moving from Oracle to MS SQL Server - or would it ;^)
    Best Regards
