Best Course for Data Warehousing

Hi,
I am planning to join data warehousing course .I heard there is lot courses in data warehousing .
Data warehousing with ETL tools or
Data warehousing with Crystal Reports or
Data warehousing with Business object or
Data warehousing with Informatica or
Data warehousing with Bo-Webel or
Data warehousing with Cognos or
Data warehousing with Data Stage or
Data warehousing with MSTR or
Data warehousing with Erwin or
Data warehousing with oracle.
Please suggest me which best to choose and which have more scope because I don't know the ABC of data warehousing but I have some experience in oracle.
Is it must that I need work experience in data warehousing then only can get a job ?Please tell me which is the best book for data warehousing which should start from scratch. Please give your suggestions about to my queries.
Thanks & Regards,
Raji

Hi,
Basically Datawarehouse is a concept.To develop DW , we need two tools mainly. One is ETL tool and other one is Reporting tool .
The few famous ETL tools are
Informatica
Data Stage
Few famous Reporting tools are
Crystal Reports
Cognos
Business object
As a DW developer you should aware of atleat one ETL tool and atleat one Reporting tool.The combination is your choice.It better to finout the best combination in point of job market , and then learn them.
Erwin is Datamodel tool. It can aslo be used in DW implementation. You have already have experience on ORacle,So my adivce is go for Data warehousing with oracle or Data warehousing with Informatica .And learn one reporting tool.I donot is there any reporting tool available from ORACLE.
My suggestion on books.
Fundamentals of Datawarehouse by PaulRaj Ponnai and
Datawarehouse toolkit.
http://www.inmoncif.com/about.html is one of the best site for Datawarehouse.
With rgds,

Scope for data warehousing ETL Tool

Hi all
can anybody explain scope for data warehousing ETL Tool
for oracle developer in future this is ok or..
regards

What exactly is your question?
The scope of using an ETL tool would be setting up and maintaining datawarehouses and building ETL processes to populate these datawarehouses.
A tool is generally preferred over hand coding because tools allow better maintenance, shorter development cycles etc.
Oracle has a pretty good ETL tool, called Oracle Warehouse Builder. It's not the best tool available, but if you compare price/ functionality I would say in most cases it will do.
If your question is if it's a wise pick to master OWB or any ETL tool my answer would be a clear YES! Datawarehouses and BI are becoming more important every day, their use gets broader everyday.
If your question is if an investment in OWB is a wise investment for the future I would answer a clear YES again. It's increddilbe to see what progress Oracle made with the tool, coming from a 'laughing stock' postition, regarded completely immature good for nothing tool, to where they are now, with 10.2. Regarded as one of the leaders by Gartner.
Oracle has recognized (a long while ago) that ETL is the bread and butter of the future and invests in a good quality tool for accomplishing this.
I hope this answes your question, if not, please try to specify more clearly.

Toin.

How to configure distributed transaction in Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC? (ORA-02047)

I am connecting from Oracle to another database server (MS SQL Server, DB2 the error message is the same) through an ODBC connection using Oracle SQL Developer. (This is how I set up)
I want to query the schema of a non-Oracle database using the data dictionary mapping of the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC.
This works well:
select * from all_tables@katimssql;
But this doesn't:
create table alltables_mssql as
select * from all_tables@katimssql;
Output:
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-02047: cannot join the distributed transaction in progress
ORA-06512: at "SYS.HS$_DDTF_SQLTABLES", line 58
ORA-06512: at line 1
Does anyone know the solution of this?
Thanks in advance,
Kata
Details:
Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP2) - 10.0.4000.0 (X64)
ODBC Driver: SQL Server Native Client 11.0 (32 bit)
initkatimssql.ora:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=katimssql
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = ON
HS_TRANSACTION_MODEL = READ_ONLY_AUTOCOMMIT
I tried these, none of them worked, the error message is the same.
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = off
HS_TRANSACTION_MODEL = SINGLE_SITE
HS_TRANSACTION_MODEL = READ_ONLY_AUTOCOMMIT
HS_TRANSACTION_MODEL = READ_ONLY

Hi Kata,
this won't work as the ALL_TABLES is not a table that exists in your SQl Server - instead it is a "mimicked" table. This means the gateway will check if you have on your SQL Server a table called all_tables and when there's no table it will start an internal mechanism to check out what sort of tables exist in your SQL Server database. So the gateway is starting internally another transaction to get details from the foreign database and DG4ODBC can't participate in distributed transactions at all. Instead of using all_tables you have to use a real SQL Server table like SQ Server sys.objects or sys.tables.

OWB 10g -- Can't Create Database Links for Data Source and Target

We installed OWB 10g server components on a Unix box running Oracle 10g (R2) database. The Designer Repository is in one instance. The Runtime Repository and the Target are in another instance. The OWB client component was installed on Windows XP. We create a data source module and a target module in OWB. The data source is on another Unix box running Oracle 9i (R2) database. We try to create database links for data source module and target module, respective. But when we created and tested the DB links, the DB links were failed.
For the database link of data source, we got the following error message:
Testing...
Failed.
SQL Exception
Repository Error:SQL Exception..
Class Name: CacheMediator.
Method Name: getDDEntryFromDB.
Repository Error Message: ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred
For the database link of target , we got the following error message:
Testing...
Failed.
API2215: Cannot create database link. Please contact Oracle Support with the stack trace and the details on how to reproduce it.
Repository Error:SQL Exception..
Class Name: oracle.wh.ui.integrator.common.RepositoryUtils.
Method Name: createDBLink(String, String, String, String).
Method Name: -1.
Repository Error Message: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended.
However, we could connect to the two databases (data source and target) using the OWBs utility SQL Plus.
Please help us to solve this problem. Thank you.

As I said prior the database link creation should work from within the OWB client (also in 10).
Regarding your issue when deploying, have you registered your target locations in the deployment manager and did you first deployed your target location's connector which points out to your source?
I myself had some problems with database link creations in the past and I can't remember exactly what they were but it had something to do with
- the use of abnormal characters in the database link name
- long domain name used in as names.default_domain in my sqlnet.ora file
What you can do is check the actual script created when deploying the database link so see if there's something strange and check if executing the created script manually works or not.

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.

Dear Forum Members,
In my office, I have to installed Oracle Database 10g for Solaries (SPARC). But I have to do it without DISPLAY Monitor.Is it possible install it by remote login to this server using response file (silent mode) or something like that?
If yes. Then How?
If anyone have the exact solution, then I need your feedback. I shall wait for your reply.
Thanks

How to install Oracle software remotely?
Remote Software Installation Steps: (For Solaris only)
If you want to install Oracle Software remotely, you should perform the following steps. These steps are applicable only if your source and target machine are running Unix.
For example, you can install Oracle Software from your home from Washington, DC to a target source in California.
1. Pick your source server or machine for remote installation.
2. Check that your CD is in your source CD-ROM drive.
3. On the target machine, find your target machine name with the output of the /usr/bin/hostname
4. On the source machine, login as a user.
5. On the source machine, enable client access: % /usr/openwin/bin/xhost + target-machine-name
6. Become root user by typing: su (dont use -)
7. Check that Volume Manger is running. # ps ef |grep vold (if you see an entry that contains /usr/sbin/vold, Volume Manager is running. Then skip to Step 10.
8. If not then do the following: # mkdir p /cdrom/your-cd-file-name
9. # mount F hsfs r cdrom-device /cdrom/your-cd-file-name
10. Add the following line to your /etc/dfs/dfstab file: # share F nfs o ro /cdrom/your-cd-file-name
11. Verify whether your source machine is an NFS server: # ps ef | grep nfsd
12. If you see an entry that contains /use/lib/nfs/nfsd a 16, then nfsd is running and skip to Step 16.
13. If nfsd is running, then type: # /usr/sbin/shareall
14. If nfsd is not running, then start nfsd by typing: # /etc/init.d/nfs.server start
15. Verify whether your source machine is an NFS server again by typing: # ps ef | grep nfsd
16. Make sure your source machine is exporting your product directory by typing: # /usr/sbin/dfshares
17. Now, log in to the target machine by type: # rlogin target-machine-name l user (not root)
18. Then log in as the root user by typing: # su
19. Go to the source machine by typing: # cd /net/source-machine/cdrom/your-cd-file-name ,then Skip to 24.
20. If you cannot change to that directory in Step 19 and you do not have an auto-mounter on your network, then create amount point by typing the following commands.
21. # mkdir /remote_products
22. # /usr/sbin/mount F nfs r source-machine:/cdrom/your-cd-file-name /remote_products
23. # cd /remote_products
24. Redirect the target machine display to source machine by typing: # DISPLAY=source-machine:0; export DISPLAY (if you use a Bourne or Korn shell).
25. Start the Web Start Installer by typing: # ./installer (or whatever the installer name program is).

Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC with Oracle XE

Dear Colleague,
Is it possible to use the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC in conjunction with the Oracle Express Edition (or does one have to use the Standard or Enterprise Editions)? If yes, are there any restrictions when using the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC in the context of Oracle XE?
Best regards,
Randy

Hi,
As it says, as long as you have an RDBMS license then you do not need a separate license for DG4ODBC. If the confusion is where it says "Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC can be installed and used on a machine different" then that is just to clarify that you can run the gateway on a completely separate machine from where the licensed RDBMS is running, but you can also run DG4ODBC on the same machine where the RDBMS is installed.
If you install 11g DG4ODBC on the same machine where you have a 10g RDBMS then it must be installed into a separate ORACLE_HOME.
If this is still not clear then please get back and let us know exactly what you need clarifying.
Regards,
Mike

Installation error message for Oracle Database software for version 10g

Would someone be able to advise why I keep getting the following error message whilst installing Oracle trial Database software for version 10g Release 2 Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition? Link listed below : -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html
Error message "Cannot create directory"C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_7\cfgtoollogs\dbca\projemp"
Below is the 12 steps that I go through, please advise what I'm doing wrong : -
1. (Operations) default is Create a database
2. (Database templetes) default is general purpose
3. (Database Identification) projemp.local for Global database name & projemp for SID
4. (Management options) default is "Configure the database with Enterprise manager, also the options button has been clicked for "Use database control for database management"
5. (Database Credentials) the options button has been clicked for "Use the same password for all accounts" so I've set up a new password, was that correct?
6. (Storage options) the options button is clicked for "File System - use the file system for database storage.
7. (Database file locations) the options button is clicked for "Use database file locations for template" Is this option correct? Other options are Use common location for all database files or use Oracle-managed files?
8. (Recovery configuration) the options button is clicked for "Specify flash recovery area
9. (Database content) nothing has been selected, the only option is "Sample schemas" should that be clicked?
10. (Initialization parameters) the options button is clicked for "Typical- allocate memory as a % of the total physical memory
11. (Database storage) no options available
12. (Creation options) the options button has been selected for "Create Database"
Click finish
I then get a screen stating General purpose, click OK then I get the following error message as stated at the start of this e-mail ""Cannot create directory"C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_7\cfgtoollogs\dbca\projemp".

Database Configuration Assistant does not remove software. It can remove a database. As I mentioned before, there is a difference between the software and the objects that software manages. Deleting an Excel spreadsheet is not the same as deleting Microsoft Office. Deleting an Oracle database with Database configuration assistant is not the same as removing the Oracle software.

Now that oracle is not on my task bar I've unzipped the link below, clicked on db, Disk1, setup, changed the Database password (is that correct?) install and I get the following error message "Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed<<<<<

Recommendation: Oracle supports installations on systems with DHCP-assigned IP addresses;
However, before you can do this, you must configure the Microsoft LoopBack Adaptor to be the primary network adapter on the system. See the installation Guide for more details on installing the software on systems configured with DHCP."
So what did you do with the above error message? Did you follow up on what it said? Did you read the very fine Installation Guide that comes with the software? Did you read the section on networking considerations where it discussed DHCP assigned addresses and installing the loopback adapter?
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html
Ok, that link takes us to the download page, which does not shed any light at all on your problems
I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium, 32 bit operating system, and my computer is saying I have 142 GB free space.
If you read the installation manual that came with the downloaded software, you'd have seen in the prerequisites that Home editions of Windows are NOT listed as supported platforms, whereas Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions specifically ARE listed as supportd.
Hope this is some help.And
I'm not to clever on computers so would you be able to advise how I get to the command window to issue the SET command please?
Also I've no idea what OS user I am, I'm taking an on-line Oracle course and been advised to install "Oracle Database software for version 10g Release 2 Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition"
How do I find out if I'm part of an Administrator, ORA_DBA group ?
Can you walk me through how to create the directory from command line please?Ok, given the above statements from you, I'm not even sure where to begin. I don't want to be cruel, but this self-admitted lack of even the most rudimentary knowledge by someone attempting to learn about Oracle is truly astounding. What course are you taking? Why are you taking this course?

Need Oracle Database 10g For Mac OS 10.4 PowerPC

Hi, I am looking for Oracle Database 10g for Mac OS 10.4 PowerPC. I need to run this software on a PowerBook G4. I would appreciate any download links or tips that can help.

I am using Virtual PC 7 running Windows 2000, but the emulator runs painfully slow. Things would run a lot smoothly if I had the PowerPC version of Oracle Database. I heard it exist.
