Exadata and Oracle Berkerly DB

Hello
What are key differences between Berkerly DB and Exadata from application and commercial usage stand point?
Other than the well known facts that Exadata is the child out of Oracle-Sun's marriage and it is a competing product against Teradata, and Berkerly DB being an open source DB and exadata is way more expensive:-
From Application and commercial perspective, which is the best option out of Exadata and Berkerly DB?
Is there any comparative analysis that may be available out there, then it would be helpful. I tried googlingwithout any luck.
Thank you for your time in reading this post.
-R

Both are very opposite. Berkely DB is the smallest foot print database especially for mobile devices and embedded databases. Where as EXADATA is just opposite and high end db as told by you. We cannot compare both. For application which are for mobile devices and small web application you can use berkely db.

Exadata and Oracle VM

The other question is whether the subject is supported to install Oracle VM (configured according to the note http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/virtualization/pdf/ovm-hardpart.pdf) at the nodes of Exadata.
Thank you very much for the help

Thank you for your clarification Uwe.
Indeed I mixed up the two items. Sadly I hoped that there was indeed an Oracle VM for Exadata, which would have been logical / practical for a SME organization moving to the Exastack platform.
Just to see that I understand the current Exastack Engineered systems offers, I am outlining the salient points:
1. Exadata - Is designed (marketed) to be an Oracle 11g + RAC exclusively, running under Oracle Linux. CPU licensing is satisfied by physically (hardware) disabling CPU's supplied in the unit.
2. Exalogic - Is designed (marketed) for the middle-ware / applications, Using Oracle VM + Oracle Linux, and optionally the Oracle SOA Suite middleware Applications, plus third party application, and possible other host O/S supported by Oracle VM.
If an organization has a web application, based on traditional web server front tier, application server tier (JAVA / JEE), and a data tier (Oracle DB), then what are the choices to move to the Exastack platform:
1. Move the Web / application server tiers to Exalogic, and the data tier to Exadata, seems the way the engineered platform is marketed, however depending on the application design / usage, this may not justify that level of investment. e.g. If the application is application intensive, then an Exalogic with a relatively small Oracle DB instance is required, alternatively if there is a DB intesive application, then an Exadata with a relatively small web / application server tier is required. Hence perhaps would it not be logical to offer such a hybrid "Exastack" model for SME starting out, then when volumes demand it scaling horizontally:
e.g. Get Exadata for the Oracle 11g + RAC, and reserve 2 or more processing units (X3-2) for the middle-ware (Oracle VM + Oracle Linux) in the same physical rack, when volumes increase, a dedicated Exalogic is added and the middle-ware applications migrated to the Exalogic platform, freeing up (scaling up) the Exadata platform.
In addition, given the licencing restriction, can Exadata be partitioned for a production database instance/s and development instance/s on the same physical rack? Note; this might be somewhat worked around, since a HA demanding business may have a DR site with a second Exadata, which can host the development DB instances when in normal operations mode.
I feel this is more of a marketing rather than technical issue here, but if there is some flexibility in the Exastack configuration, would simplify and lower the affordability bar for SME / start-ups.
Appreciate any views.
Best regards,
Jesmond

Oracle Exadata Vs Oracle database machine

Hi,
I would like to know the difference between Oracle exadata and Oracle database machine. From Oracle website I can find both are used high volume database applications.
Can somebody help.
Thanks

Exadata and 12c

Hello Gurus,
Could anyone share whats the difference between Exadata and Oracle 12c database? As I searched, it's showing only 12c OEM that supports exadata environment but there is no such 12c database.
Please correct me if I misunderstood.
Thanks,
Amit.

Parameters of NFS in Solaris 10 and Oracle Linux 6 with ZFS Storage 7420 in cluster without database

Hello,
I have ZFS 7420 in cluster and OS Solaris 10 and Oracle Linux 6 without DB and I need mount share NFS in this OS and I do not know which parameters are the best for this.
Wich are the best parameters to mount share NFS in Solaris 10 or Oracle Linux 6?
Thanks
Best regards.

Hi Pascal,
My question is because when We mount share NFS in some servers for example Exadata Database Machine or Super Cluster for best performance we need mount this shares with specific parameters, for example.
Exadata
192.168.36.200:/export/dbname/backup1 /zfssa/dbname/backup1 nfs rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=131072,wsize=1048576,tcp,nfsvers=3,timeo=600 0 0
Super Cluster
sscsn1-stor:/export/ssc-shares/share1 - /export/share1 nfs - yes rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,proto=tcp,vers=3
Now,
My network is 10GBE
What happen with normal servers only with OS (Solaris and Linux)?
Which parameters I need use for best performance?
or are not necessary specific parameters.
Thanks.
Best regards.

Texas RamSan Solid State Storage Appliance and Oracle VM 3.x

Has anyone had success with using a Texas Memory System RamSAN 810 (solid state appliance) and Fiber Channel controllers with Oracle VM 3.x
I believe any Fiber Channel device should work as shared storage, but looking for some extra confirmation that there were no issues before actually buying.
Thanks for any information.

In playing with OVM 3.0 so far, I see that local storage (as the accelerator cards would show up as) is not really appropriate for Production Systems. It appears I can create a Repository on these physical disks and then present them to the VM guest. Then add these cards as my Oracle ASM disks for my "fast" storage, and do the same with the FiberChannel storage for my "slower" disks. Because of the Local Storage used for part of the VM guest, we would not be able to Live Migrate or have High availability I believe. Is this correct? Correct.
If we have the two servers as mentioned above. Could I take the database VM down and move it to the other server (ie Cold Migration)? The local storage (ie the accelerator cards) could physically be moved from one physical host to the other, but I am not sure, since this is virtualized disk, if this would be allowed or how it could be recognized on the other Oracle VM Server. This might be a "dream", but might be something we would like to do if an emergency arose or if more maintenance needed to be done on Server 1. Any comments?You would have to shutdown the VM, migrate it to an unassigned folder, edit the VM, remove the local storage from Server 1, migrate to Server 2 and add the local storage from Server 2. Whether or not this means moving your hardware is up to you.
Does anyone have other solutions to run Solid State disks (approximately 2TB worth) and Oracle VM, running a single guest that runs the database? We have been unable to find iSCSI or FiberChannel enclosures that can handle solid state drives in the 1 to 2 TB range of capacity. So perhaps there are other enclosures out there that can act as Shared Storage that can operate with SSDs. Thank you for any comments and suggestions.I know the Sun storage appliances use hybrid storage, i.e. a mix of SSD/spinning disks, but I don't know the details. Our Exadata machines have 5TB of Flash storage per cell, so I know we have such options.

Select query differences between oracle 9 and oracle 8.

Hi,
I have a problem using the select query between oracle 7 and oracle 9i I don't have the same result :
ex:
With oracle7
SQL> select 'champ1','champ2' from DUAL;
'CHAMP 'CHAMP
champ1 champ2
With Oracle 9
SQL> select 'champ1','champ2' from DUAL;
'CHAMP1' 'CHAMP2'
champ1 champ2
So Can someone tell me how to solve this problem ? Is there a parameter in oracle 9 to set?
Thanx.

Whenever you are posting anything over internet forums like this - you should be very careful about not just posting the details which requires to solve the problem - also should be sensible about your question.
This is not at all desired when you are posting such question. It may be because - you may not well aware of the fact.
My suggestion is -> First Go through the basics Of SQL in general.
Then go for any specific product like Oracle/ SQL Server/ Sybase etc.
And, finally learn the advanced commands of that DB.
You asked it - may be you thought the difference in output in terms of lines. But, that is not your actual output. That is the graphical display part only.
Anyway,
You can get the quite familier output by first type the following command ->
set lin 310Regards.

Oracle Single Sign on and Oracle Internet Directory

Hello Gurus,
What is the relationship between Oracle Single Sign on and Oracle Internet Directory.
To my understanding, OID is required to install SSO.
If OID already exist, can we just install SSO and go on integrating it to existing OID.
Great Thanks,

Hi Tim,
I've been working on this and could reproduce the issue with anonymous binds. A fix will be ready in 4.2.1.
So what I really need is the password used for login to pass to the is_member call.The P101_PASSWORD item does not save state. However, you can access the value during submit processing of the login page, for example in the post authentication function of your authentication scheme. People sometimes put code in there to query the user's groups (e.g. with apex_ldap.member_of2) and save them in an application. This item value can then be used in the authorization schemes.

Christian

Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms?
I have generated a form, which is based on a view. The view uses the mdsys.sdo_relate operator. Somehow I am unable to get the form to perform (to get one record it takes over 20 minutes). While useing sql-navigator to process the same statement it seems no problem. The query that also uses the view, is then processed in 10 seconds.
I also noticed that when text-functions like ' lower' of ' upper' are used to query the view, the query is processed within 15 seconds. If I don't use ' lower' or ' upper' it takes a long time (> 20 minutes) to process the query. Is it possible that this causes the bad performance of the form?
On metalink I have found that forms and spatial do not cooperate because of the pl/sql version that
forms6 uses. There is no solution presented, does anyone know of a work around?
My configuration is:
Oracle 8.1.7 on WIN2K @ PIII-800Mhz 256 Mb memory.
Formsbuilder 6
If requested I can post the queries that I have made.
With regards,

Limitation on SQL executing select statement from ADO and Oracle 8.1.7.1 OleDB Driver

Hi,
we are running a query with a big dunamic select statement from VB code using ADO command object. When Execute method is called system hangs and control won't return back to the application. it seems to be that there is some type limitation on Query string length. Please tell us if there is any?
we are running Oracle 8.1.7 Server on Windows 200 Server and connecting from a W2K professional, ADO 2.6 and Oracle OLEDB 8.1.7.1 OLEDB Driver.
Sample code:
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Set cmd = New Command
With cmd
.CommandText = ' some text with more than 2500 characters
.CommandType = adCmdText
Set rs = .Execute
End With
when i debug using VB6 and when .Execute line is called system hangs or return a message method <<somemethod> of <<some class name>> failed error.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Anil

A stored procedure would only slow you down here if it was poorly written. I suspect you want to use the translate function. I'm cutting & pasting examples from the documentation-- a search at tahiti.oracle.com will give you all the info you'll need.
Examples
The following statement translates a license number. All letters 'ABC...Z' are translated to 'X' and all digits '012 . . . 9' are translated to '9':
SELECT TRANSLATE('2KRW229',
'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
'9999999999XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX') "License"
FROM DUAL;
License
9XXX999
The following statement returns a license number with the characters removed and the digits remaining:
SELECT TRANSLATE('2KRW229',
'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', '0123456789')
"Translate example"
FROM DUAL;
Translate example
2229
Also, LIKE '%<string>%' is going to be rather expensive simply because it has to compare the entire string and because it forces full table scans, rather than using indexes. You could speed this sort of query up by using interMedia Text (Oracle Text now in 9i). If you can eliminate one of the '%' options, you could also improve things.
My guess is that your stored procedure is inefficient and that's causing the problem-- 5k rows per table should be pretty trivial.
If you post your query over on the PL/SQL forum, there are better performance tuners than I that might have more hints for you. To get really good advice, though, you'lllikely have to get at least the execution plan for this statement and may need to do some profiling to identify the problem areas.

New to XML and Oracle

Just trying to clarify some issues as I try and learn about XML, and specifically how it integrates into the DB.
1 - Is there a way with Oracle tools for me to get an XSD of an existing 9i relational schema? We are not currently using the XML DB, but our middleware developers would like to have an up to date XSD to use for their internal mapping.
2 - Is there any way that I can keep that XSD up-to-date automatically, so I get a new one whenever the schema gets updated?
3 - If I wanted to investigate storing XML docs within the DB in native XML format, I need to have an XML DB, correct? Is this DB construct maintained seperatelly from my "normal" relational schema? or are they kept in sync by Oracle?
I know these may all be real basic questions, but as I said, I'm new to XML and Oracle. I am reading as much as I can, but there are a lot of docs out there.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi
1. On my opinion such a tool doesn't exists. Some parts can be implemented elsewhere, but not as described by you... e.g. with XSU if you specify the parameter "withschema" the XSD of the executed statement is generated. Another example is to use DBMS_METADATA to dump the data dictionary in XML (but not XSD, of course you could write your own XSLT to do this transformation...).
2. -
3. If you use XSD-based tables the XSD and the relational model are stored separately in the data dictionary. Therefore if you change the XSD you have to drop/create the XSD-based table... no schema evolution yet.

SRM 4.0 Installation Master and Oracle Installation

Dear Members, I am trying to install SRM 4.0 in sandbox using the SRM 4.0 Installation Master DVD. The question I have is does this installation take care of Oracle Installation also or should I install Oracle 9.2 first and then use the SRM Installation Master DVD to install the SRM. I am using SRM on Linux and Oracle. Appreciate expert advice. Thanks in advance.

Problem with Java 5 and Oracle 10g JDBC driver

Hi All,
Currently we upgrade our web application to Java 5 and Oracle 10.2 JDBC driver. And we encountered a bug, when the user entered the information through UI and data didn't store into database (Oracle 9i). The problem is that this bug is not happend so often maybe once a day and this did not happen before we upgraded to Java 5 and Oracle 10.2 JDBC driver. Does anyone encounter the same problem ? Is this Java 5 problem or Oracle JDBC driver problem ?
Thanks,

sounds like a database problem...
Are you using a driver version that's supported for your database engine?
What else did you change? We once ran into a major bug in our application that had for 5 years been masked by performance problems in our hardware and infrastructure.
Once those were resolved the bug showed itself and caused tens of thousands of records to be erroneously inserted into our database every day.
It's certainly NOT a problem with your JVM (if it's a decent one, like the Sun implementation).
So it's either your database, your driver, your network (dropping packets???), or your application.
The upgrade may just have exposed something that was already there.

Problem with installing Oracle UI and Oracle SP (ouiosp220160.jar)

Hello,
I have downloaded the installation file for Oracle Universal Installer and Oracle Software Packager which is in the form of a jar file:
ouiosp220160.jar.
WhenI try to extract it, the JVM says that the jar file is a corrupt one.
So, I downloaded it again and still it is a corrupted one.
What to do now? Is it in the corrupt form on the site or I am missing something?
Any other mirror site?
Please help.
-Sameer

Yes use a different ORACLE_HOME's for the Database,
The Application Server (Needs 2 Oracle Homes if you are installing it on one server) and the developer suite - I would expect to see this more on a client PC than a server but if you are trying everything out on say a windows box then that also needs its own HOME.
Have fun.
