Reg:Oracle database Review
Dear all,
i need a review document of oracle 9i,10g,11g.please send me the procedure/step/commands of oracle, how to review Oracle database.
Regards
Sachin agarwal
MOS has several tools related to this, as described in How to Perform a Health Check on the Database [ID 122669.1] and RDA Documentation Index [ID 414966.1]
Or you could just go pay some consulting company to tell you how cool Oracle is, depending on what exactly you mean by "Review."

REG:Oracle Database Vault Implementation .
Hi ,
I want to Implement the Database Vault on my Oracle Applications(12.1.3) Database with 11.2 version .
My Database is monitored using Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control , so should i have to again implement database console for that database in order to implement DB Vault ?
Regards .My Database is monitored using Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control , so should i have to again implement database console for that database in order to implement DB Vault ?No need to configure anything until you will define any policy at DBSNMP account.
As OEM perform database monitoring by agent running on target which will make connectivity with DBSNMP account in database.
So if you're not doing anything on this account then monitoring will not get impacted. -
Reg: Find Current stored procedure status in oracle database
Hi Gurus,
How to find the stored procedure status in the current oracle database (ie) whether it is running or not.
Is there any view or dbms package to find the status of the stored procedure.
And i also want to find the last execution time of the stored procedure is there any view to find the status
Thanks in Advance.Note that using DBA_HIST_SQLTEXT requires Diagnostic Pack license:

Sending a mail from oracle database
Hi,
I have a requirement to send a mail from oracle database.I use UTL_TCP package for this.Although my procedure is executed successfully,i dont get the mails in my inbox.Please help me to figure out a solution.
Thanks in advance....Hi, you must use UTL_SMTP package for send emails, it has more performance and features for debug. You must look the next code, this is a example for send emails.
DECLARE
c UTL_SMTP.CONNECTION;
PROCEDURE send_header(name IN VARCHAR2, header IN VARCHAR2) AS
BEGIN
UTL_SMTP.WRITE_DATA(c, name || ': ' || header || UTL_TCP.CRLF);
END;
BEGIN
c := UTL_SMTP.OPEN_CONNECTION('smtp-server.acme.com');
UTL_SMTP.HELO(c, 'foo.com');
UTL_SMTP.MAIL(c, '[email protected]');
UTL_SMTP.RCPT(c, '[email protected]');
UTL_SMTP.OPEN_DATA(c);
send_header('From', '"Sender" <[email protected]>');
send_header('To', '"Recipient" <[email protected]>');
send_header('Subject', 'Hello');
UTL_SMTP.WRITE_DATA(c, UTL_TCP.CRLF || 'Hello, world!');
UTL_SMTP.CLOSE_DATA(c);
UTL_SMTP.QUIT(c);
EXCEPTION
WHEN utl_smtp.transient_error OR utl_smtp.permanent_error THEN
BEGIN
UTL_SMTP.QUIT(c);
EXCEPTION
WHEN UTL_SMTP.TRANSIENT_ERROR OR UTL_SMTP.PERMANENT_ERROR THEN
NULL; -- When the SMTP server is down or unavailable, we don't have
-- a connection to the server. The QUIT call will raise an
-- exception that we can ignore.
END;
raise_application_error(-20000,
'Failed to send mail due to the following error: ' || sqlerrm);
END;
Also review the next link for get more information about the UTL_SMTP packege.

Oracle Database 10g JDBC Samples on OTN
Review the OTN's new Oracle Database 10g JDBC Samples that illustrate new features introduced with Oracle10g JDBC Driver. The features illustrated are Connection Cache, Named Parameter Support, IEEE Datatypes, Thin Driver support for PLSQL Index by Tables and Web Rowset. Also watch out for samples on Datalinks, New Encryption Algorithms, Globalization Support, Shortcuts for CLOB manipulation and more to be hosted shortly.
The samples are available at,
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/files/oracle10g/index.htmlI suppose that is nice.
It would be even nicer if the drivers actually conformed to JDBC so that one could for example reliably use blobs in a J2EE server with CMP. -
Question about Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL
Hello,
I've read that:
This course is a combination of Oracle Database 11g: PL/SQL Fundamentals and Oracle Database 11g: Develop PL/SQL Program Units courses.
In order to preparing for this exam, i should read the student guide, so there are 4 pdf files. One is Oracle Database 11g: PL/SQL Fundamentals, and the other 3 are regarding to Oracle Database 11g: Develop PL/SQL Program Units (volume I, II and III). My question is, regarding to this last one (Oracle Database 11g: Develop PL/SQL Program Units), which volume should i read? I saw that volume I has 400+ pages, and the IIIrd ~80.
Which document should i read? What's the difference between them?
Thanks!Passing the exam and becoming certified are not a matter of simply reading a book or taking a training class. While books and classroom materials as well as in-class training are all important steps in preparing for an exam, experience and research are just as important. I cannot tell you that there are 53 questions on the exam and every single question maps directly back to page 13, paragraph 3 in XX book. However, If you have the classroom material, and you have the list of exam topics, you should be able to find most of the information you need. In some cases, if you are not completely familiar with a specific topic, or you don't feel like the information in the book gives you all the information you need, you may need to do a little additional research. This is all part of preparing for an exam. This process is what makes you successful as a certified professional.
Your focus seems to be solely on the course materials that you have and what volumes and chapters you should read. I'm trying to give you a different perspective - preparing for an exam is not necessarily about taking one course or reading one book and being ready. You need to review the exam topics and be sure that you are familiar with each topic.

Oracle Databases and Storage Systems like HP EVA
Hi everybody,
are there generel advantages or disadvantages using such storage systems?
I would be happy if somebody could talk about his experience using such systems.
Is there better/less performance with Oracle Databases? Better/less Security for my Data instead of using a local raid 5/1+0 for example? Or anything else I should now before using such a storage system.
What type of storage are you using? What type of disks would be the best (scsi/fata) ?
Please talk with me a little bit about your experience with storage systems and Oracle Databases ;-)
Thank you

Greate to meet another DBA in forum.The big problem we will face is SQL Tune.
Nothing much Diffnt supporting SAP.SAP PRovided some ready made tools to monitor and to solve.Reg tuning still we can follow same methoda but with approval from SAP or by ref SAP notes.Which u can find at service market place.
You can find some PDfs in sap market place and sdn.Which are ex'ly for DBas.
Reg Growth rate you can have a look on sap transactions and there are some notes also.I dont think there is specific Book or Doc which will say Dos and donts.
Performance we used to follow same methoda as a Dbas with ref of sap notes and support for any side effects.
let me know if are in need of any specific info

Dates for "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning" exam
Hi!
Today Oracle posted info about the new Oracle Database 11g Performance Tuning exam needed for the new expert certification:
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=1Z0_054#2
It says that pre-registration for the beta exam starts today, however, it does not say when the beta phase starts and ends. Does anyone know?
Thanks,
MarcusHello Hussein
Yes true, I remember it for the OCE and Linux exams they rescheduled the end date several times. As far as I know it is related to the number of participants and the given feedback.
I've also participated to several other exams, and I must admit that it is a long and hard process to get through. When I got the feedback 10 weeks after the beta period closure, I had to review nearly all the topics to get the exams passed the second time. But this it is a cheap and good exam preparation.
What about you Hussein? Do you think that's trivial?
Cheers,

Create new oracle database with JAVA
Hi!
I would appreciated it if you could help me to solve a problem that i have.
I am trying to create a new oracle database by a JAVA 1.4.2 application. I am using the scripts that Oracle 10.g supplies during the creation of a new database from the server (Generate Database Creation Scripts) with the appropriate changes, generated by a java application. Unfortunately, i am unable to connect with the database and the listener. Is there any other way to create a new database by java and how can i solve my current problem with the oracle scripts?
Thank you.A) To create a new schema, you need to be connected as a user that has create schema privilege, or as tyhe user who is to own the schema (remembering that the user has appropriate create privs, as seen in the GRANT command in the SQL Reference manual). Not an issue at all, I think, if you coordinate this with your DBA. Discussed very well in the Administrator's manual.
B) Alternately, you could create a complete copy of the schema, including all desired objects (tables, views, etc.) in a separate database and simply export the user and schema. Then simply invoke the OS-based import command (imp) to load that entire thing into the target database.
C) To create a new database, there are 3 simple steps ...
1) create the appropriate initialization parameter file
the init{sid}.ora file should be placed in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs or %ORACLE_HOME%\database directory. (I recommend you do not attempt to create the spfile.) Of critical interest will be setting the block size information, the control file parameters, and using the appropriate memory management parameters, based on the version of the software you will be using to create the database instance.
2) start an empty instance, pointing to the parameter file
This will be an OS specific call, and will require that you have the correct OS environment set up as well as access to the ORACLE_HOME which will provide the software that you will invoke. In *nix you will need to call the sqlplus command with sysdba provs and in Windows you will need to call oradim to initialize this as a service.
3) run the SQL create database command
You might want to use the dbca to create a template of the create database command, or look in the SQL Reference manual for the variations on the command. Of critical interest will be initializing the redo logs as well as the system, sysaux (if needed), temp and undo tablespaces after which you can set up the regular tablespaces, users and schemas. I highly recommend that you have redundant copies of the control files on separate drives.
You may want to review the online Concepts manual and the Adminstration Guide for some of the specifics to your needs, but I think I've covered the basics.
Remember that ideally you will only have one database instantiated on any given server as the memory and CPU overhead of each instance is significant.
Good luck. -
Hi All,
How to connect the Oracle database using C/C++ on Mac OS X? I have used Instant Client library "instantclient-basic-macosx-10.1.0.3" provided by the Oracle but could not be success. I'm using PowerPC G4, Mac OS X 10.4.9, and XCode version 2.4.1.
Specially Mr Oscar Armanini has done this in C on Mac OS X. Please let me know. I would be very thankful to you.
Thanks,
GhufranHi Ghufran
there are two Metalink Notes on using Instant Client with PowerPc Mac:
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showDoc?db=NOT&id=316497.1
How to Install, Configure and Test Oracle 10g Instant Client Basic,
SQL*Plus and SDK Packages for Mac OS X
(Runs OCI sample code - cdemo81.c)
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showDoc?db=NOT&id=332588.1
How to Install, Configure and Test Oracle 10g Instant Client Basic,
SQL*Plus and SDK Packages for Mac OS X
(Runs OCCI sample code - occidml.cpp)
The first Metalink Note uses an OCI examples and it is pasted here below,
in case you don't have a Metalink ID.
The second Metalink Note uses an OCCI example.
I have never used Instant Client (neither on Os X or on other platform),
but I was successful on compiling C programs (no GUI involved) using the
Full Client installed on my PowerBook G4.
I'm a DBA, but I was a developer years ago (about when Oracle 7.3
was considered a giant step forward): I installed the Oracle 10.1 db
(a complicated job for a developer) and I got the Full Client
installed as well, for free, so I was happy to compile one of the demo C sources
(those that you can find in the Oracle Pro*C manuals:
by the way, Oracle Pro*C manuals are really worth reading).
Good luck
Oscar
Applies to: Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 10.1.0.3
Apple Macintosh PowerPC
Goal
This article will show you how to install and configure your 10g Instant Client (IC) Software for the Mac.
It will install the following packages:
the Basic package
the SQL*Plus package and
the SDK package
and then test its connectivity to an Oracle database using SQL*Plus.
It will also show you how to setup and test a sample program, cdemo81.c, that uses the Oracle Call Interface (OCI)
to connect to the database.
The sample program is located under the <Instant_Client>/sdk/demo directory.
Solution1. Download the following three (3) files from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) website.
You will need an account to do this.
Macintosh OS X 10g Instant Client Software
a. instantclient-basic-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip (32,395,622 bytes)
b. instantclient-sqlplus-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip (326,740 bytes)
c. instantclient-sdk-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip (293,913 bytes)
NOTE: The above three (3) files will be updated as new patches are released for the 10g Instant Client software. 10.1.0.3 or later versions (10.1.0.x) of these files may be used similarly with this article.
2. Save the following text into a file called tnsnames.ora:
# If you receive an
# ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
# error when running the setup script and attempting to connect to Oracle
# from SQL*Plus then the name of your SERVICE NAME (i.e. ORCL) may require
# that you include the DOMAIN (i.e. US.ORACLE.COM) in order to connect successfully.
# To obtain the DOMAIN of your environment, type "hostname" from your shell
# and it should report this information back to you. Configure your SERVICE
# NAME to look like Example 2.
# Example 1
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = database_machine.us.oracle.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SID = orcl)
# Example 2
#ORCL.US.ORACLE.COM =
# (DESCRIPTION =
# (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = database_machine.us.oracle.com)(PORT = 1521))
# (CONNECT_DATA =
# (SERVER = DEDICATED)
# (SID = orcl)
3. Save the following text into a file called sqlplus_script.sql:
SELECT user FROM dual;
SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SELECT 'successful ' AS TEST_RESULTS FROM dual;
exit;
4. Save the following text into a file called setup1:
# ===========================================
# MAC OS X INSTANT CLIENT 10g SCRIPT - SETUP1
# ===========================================

# ===========
# This script will install and configure your 10g Instant Client (IC) Software
# for the Mac. It will install the Basic, SQL*Plus and SDK (OCI/OCCI) packages
# and then test its connectivity to an Oracle database using SQL*Plus.
# Once this script has completed, you will need to run the script SETUP2 to build
# and run the CDEMO81.C sample application located under the <IC>/sdk/demo folder
# in your newly installed Instant Client home.

# to connect as user SCOTT with password TIGER to a local Oracle database using
# the BEQ-LOCAL network protocol. This will not work.
# (A) You need to make sure you have the SCOTT/TIGER schema created in your database.
# If not, have your DBA create it by running the script "SCOTT.SQL" from your
# <ORACLE_HOME>/rdbms/admin folder.
# (B) You need to modify the CDEMO81.C application to connect to the database
# you have configured inside your TNSNAMES.ORA file.
# (i) Open the CDEMO81.C file located under the <IC>/sdk/demo folder.
# (ii) Find the following line of code:
# (void) OCIServerAttach( srvhp, errhp, (text *)"", strlen(""), 0);
# and change the two empty strings to the SERVICE NAME you are using like so
# (void) OCIServerAttach( srvhp, errhp, (text *)"ORCL", strlen("ORCL"), 0);
# (iii) Save the file.
# (2) You MUST be in the initial directory where you copied all of the files listed

6. Take all seven (7) files and move them into the same directory on your OS where you want to install the Instant Client software from:
1 - instantclient-basic-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip
2 - instantclient-sqlplus-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip
3 - instantclient-sdk-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip
4 - tnsnames.ora
5 - sqlplus_script.sql
6 - setup1
7 - setup2
7. Open the file tnsnames.ora. Be sure to review the comments in this file. You will have to change the following information to connect to a database on your network:
SERVICE NAME (orcl or orcl.us.oracle.com)
HOST (database_machine.us.oracle.com)
PORT (1521)
SID (orcl)
Save the file.
8. Open the file setup1, go to the end of this script and modify the following line:
./instantclient10_1/sqlplus scott/tiger@orcl @sqlplus_script.sql
Replace orcl with the SERVICE NAME you used in Step 7 above. Save the file.
9. You are now ready to install the 10g Instant Client software for Mac OS X. From the location where your seven (7) files reside, issue the following command:
[macosx]/oracle> . setup1
NOTE: Be sure to include the period "." and a space " " before the word "setup1" so all environment variables persist for the current session.
This will install the Instant Client Basic and SQL*Plus software and connect to the database specified in the tnsnames.ora file.
10. Here is the sample output of a successful execution of the setup1 script:
[macosx]/oracle> . setup1
MAC OS X INSTANT CLIENT 10g SCRIPT - SETUP1
TNSNAMES.ORA FILE
# If you receive an
# ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified

IF THE SQL*PLUS CONNECTIVITY TEST WAS SUCCESSFUL
READ SETUP2 TO CONFIGURE AND RUN THE OCI cdemo81.c SAMPLE
[macosx]/oracle>
11. Once you have obtained a successful execution of the setup1 script, you are ready to configure cdemo81.c to connect to the database you have configured inside your tnsnames.ora file.
Open the cdemo81.c file located under the <Instant_Client>/sdk/demo folder. Find the following line of code:
(void) OCIServerAttach( srvhp, errhp, (text *)"", strlen(""), 0);
Change the two (2) empty strings to the SERVICE NAME you used in Step 7 above.
(void) OCIServerAttach( srvhp, errhp, (text *)"ORCL", strlen("ORCL"), 0);
Save the file.
12. You are now ready to run cdemo81.c. You MUST issue the following command from the initial directory where you copied all of the files in Step 6:
[macosx]/oracle> . setup2
NOTE: Be sure to include the period "." and a space " " before the word "setup2" so all environment variables persist for the current session.
This script will configure your environment, build and run the OCI sample code connecting to the database specified in the tnsnames.ora file.
13. Here is the sample output of a successful execution of the setup2 script:
[macosx]/oracle> . setup2

Beta Testing Continues for "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning" Exam
!http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009-0204-1123.gif!
The beta period continues for the <strong>Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning certification exam (1Z1-054)</strong>, which is a single exam requirement for Oracle 11g DBA OCPs to earn the Oracle Database 11g Performance Tuning Certified Expert (OCE) certification. Read more on the <a href="http://bit.ly/UGJh4">Oracle Certification Blog</a>.</p>Hello Hussein
Yes true, I remember it for the OCE and Linux exams they rescheduled the end date several times. As far as I know it is related to the number of participants and the given feedback.
I've also participated to several other exams, and I must admit that it is a long and hard process to get through. When I got the feedback 10 weeks after the beta period closure, I had to review nearly all the topics to get the exams passed the second time. But this it is a cheap and good exam preparation.
What about you Hussein? Do you think that's trivial?
Cheers,

Is the Oracle database free for private persons?
Is the Oracle database free for private developers, just testing the database, or do I have to personally contact them in order to pay them? I just went to the Oracle download page and downloaded 2 pcs. 1 GB install files, installed the database on my Windows 7 machine and then started using it.
Did you pay heed to the license agreement you accepted before downloading the software ? The usage restrictions are spelled out clearly.

The limits for 11g XE are also documented -

Muhammad AliOkay I've haven't done 1z0-045 ... but I at one point I was considering 1z0-050 so I'm willing to share my views on an upgrade exam and exams in general.
Remember Oracle are trying to ensure that a DBA who was tested at 8i DBA OCP has nw
It depends on your definition of read the topics. If you mean literally just read the topics then that will result in a failure. If you mean study research practice and fully understand the topics that should lead to a pass.
Bear in mind that Oracle would expect a competent 8i DBA attending the 5 day training course Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Oracle8i DBAs [http://education.oracle.com/web_prod-plq-dad/plsql/show_desc.redirect?dc=D17389GC10&p_org_id=&lang=&source_call=] to be able pass the exam with perhaps 2 to 4 weeks further study, revision and practice.
Interestingly this particular exam has a relatively high pass mark (73%) ... one implication of that is that it is prudent to be comfortable with all topics.
Generally an upgrade exam will cover topics beyond that of the straight OCA/OCP exams. The questions will obviously be at OCP level.
It is possilble the Sybex book Oracle 10g New Features for Administrators Study Guide (Certification Study Guide) ISBN-13: 978-0782143553 which although for 1z0-040 may have some relevance for some of your topics. If you choose to purchase it that is your choice. (It seems to have good amazon reviews ... though all of these books can contain errors, it may or may not be updated for 10gR2, and some Sybex Oracle books are sometimes OTT in some areas IMHO, but that wouldn't stop me using one).
