10g Rel2 How to clone a database in another machine suggestions

Hi All,
We have 2 solaris boxes(prodn & backup) and our new requirement is to clone the production on the backup server.
a) If my understanding is correct , does the cloning helps to backup the changes in the production database automatically ?
b) If by any chance if production database server is down will the backup server database take over it automatically ?
c) Or can we use grid here or any other suggestions?
This is not a large database and we have max of 1gb Data with 25 users.
Thanks
Rajesh ALex

No. This is the function of Data Guard
c) Or can we use grid here or any other
suggestions?1) Use RMAN (Read the Backup documentation at http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/homepage
2) Use Grid Control (which will use RMAN)

Urgent: How to restore a database to another machine without backup files

I am a beginner with Oracle and need to solve a tough problem.
I have all the files of a database on a hard disk without previously backed up. I don't have the old machine right now, I only have the hard disk from the old machine, and the new machine. There is an Oracle 9i database on the harddisk, and we need make the database work.
I've already installed the Oracle 9i on the computer(Win XP), put the files to the right folder, modified the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora, then I added the database from:
OEM -> Navigator -> Add database to tree -> Add selected databases from your local tnsnames.ora file ...
When I tried to connect to the database, I got the error:
ORA-12500: TNS: listener failed to start a dedicated server process.
The setting in my tnsnames.ora and listener.ora are all correct. tnsping <tnsname> is OK. Besides, the default database installed by the ORACLE software works fine.
Both the old machine and the new machine are Window XP. Both the old database and the new database are ORACLE 9i.
Any idea on how to mannually make it work? Thank you inadvance!

Lihua,
Since you didn't create the DB with DBCA, you will need to manually create a SID.
From a command window type
ORADIM -NEW -SID mydb
Replace mydb with the DBNAME specified in your init.ora and listener.ora files.
This will create and start the service. The service should now be available as a windows service in the computer management area...
From a COMMAND window type
set oracle_sid=mydb
sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
startup
If you have all the files in the correct location the DB should start. You should then be able to connect with the database manager. Good Luck.

Problem in recovering a database on another machine

Dear All,
I need your help in restoring and recovering a database on another machine. I don't have access to old machine to get logfile or archivelogs. I have taken full backup using RMAN. I have restored the database using rman sucessfully and trying to recover the database. RMAN have't restored the logfile. Database version is 8.1.7.4, OS is Solaris 8. In recovery, its showing the problem in rbs file. I'm showing all command and error. Just give me any idea that how to recover it sucessfully.

Why its asking for archive file which generated on 19th, when I'm trying to recover until 16th only.

Hi.
What is the size of the redo logs in the database. With a small amount of transactions, there might be redo in this particular archived file from two days back. The timestamp of the archivelogfiles does not indicate that all redo in the file is from this day. It might have changes several days back if no logswitch occured inbetween.
So, if I were you, I would provide all archivelogs required to get the datafiles consistent.
As a matter of fact, if archived redo is in the following folder :
/u07/oraexp/PROD/arch/
I would use recover database until time and press return for all archived logs svrmgrl comes up with.
I assume that the database was closed normally prior to taking the offline backup.
Good luck.

How do I move booksmark to another machine without replacing the bookmarks on the new machine, i.e combine a number of bookmark files

I'm setting up a laptop and want to have all the bookmarks from my desk machine to be moved there from different accounts, but in end up in one file so that I don't have to have loads of separate accounts.

You need to combine all the links to one HTML file.
You only need a file with Anchor links like this:

If you export bookmarks to an HTML file then you create a copy of your bookmarks and you edit that copy and you do not affect the original bookmarks.

How to Clone the DataBase

I want to Clone the Database on the Same System.
Its a testing scenario.
In one of the interview I had faced this quesiton.
Kindly, any one guide me in this regard,
Thanks,
Pavan Kumar

This is a documentation forum.
You need to read that documentation.
Specifically, go to http://docs.oracle.com, select the version of the database you are working with, and put 'clone' into the search box. One link for 10gR2 is http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/startup.htm#sthref1874
IN the future, please have the courtesy to
1) post in an appropriate forum, as described by the title of the forum
2) Include product (database) version and operating system
when asking for assistance

How to move a database to another server

Hi - I am new to Oracle and am used to SQL Server. In SQL Server there was a DETACH and ATTACH DATABASE command that would allow you to make a copy of a database and all structures including triggers, procedures, indexes etc. Make a copy and reattach the database on the new server. I assume that the same is possible in Oracle but I can't seem to find the equivilent command(s). So how does one move a database? I take it that the SQL Server equivilent to database is in Oracle called a schema? Other than creating a sql script for each object, is there a overall process to move my application?

You could do one of the following:
1) Create a full export, create a another database with a script or DBCA, create the appropriate sized tablespaces, import to the new database.
2) If you are copying to the same OS you could shutdown the database, copy all the datafiles, logfiles, control files, etc. to the appropriate locations, rename the datafiles, control files, etc. as needed, and open the database.
3) Use RMAN to duplicate the database if it has been backed up using the RMAN utility.
4) If you already have a backup of all the datafiles, logfiles, control files, etc. from a backup you could copy those to the appropriate locations, rename the files as needed, and open the database.
I would suggest changing the database name. I can go into more detail on any of these if needed.

Hi there,
I am new to oracle and at the minute I am using Oracle 9i. I have set up a database on one machine (PC2) and would like to create an odbc from another machine (PC1) to connect to this database. I have set up a listener for (PC1) the using oracle net manager on PC2. what I want to know is: is there anything else I need to do on the PC2 end???? Also, what needs to be done on the PC1 end??? please help!!!

If everything is setup and working properly on the Server PC2, you can just test the ODBC from PC1 (assum you already have an Oracle ODBC drive).

Using mysql database on another machine without having mysql installed

Hi...
I was wondering whether its possible to copy a Mysql database that I have created on my machine, take it to another machine which does not have Mysql command line stuff installed and use my own JDBC connection to the copied mysql database and start manipulating my data. I don't know if this is possible or not ..
The main purpose of doing this is I am creating a Java program which uses a Mysql database and I want to know if I give it to someone else to use it do they have to install Mysql and all the package or can they simply start using it.
Thanks a lot

I don't know if this is possible or not ..No. Not only would it be in violation of the terms of your license, but a MySQL database is a client/server type setup. No MySQL binaries, no server, your client (jdbc) cannot connect.im just curious because im new to mysql myself, but what do you mean that its a violation of his license?
do you mean for the commercial version?If he licenses his application under GPL, okay, no problem. Otherwise I read this quote
Free use for those who never copy, modify or distribute. As long as you never distribute the MySQL Software in any way, you are free to use it for powering your application, irrespective of whether your application is under GPL license or not.
to mean that you are not allowed to distribute MySQL (or any part of it, unless your application is GPL licensed) with your application, and if he distributes even just the data directory, he is distributing at least a part of MySQL.
Other's may not see it that way, but do you want to take the chance?The critical element is the word distribute. If he tries to embed MySQL in the application he is giving to his users, he's distributing it. Hence a violation of the license. That does not in any way prevent him from including scripts that when the application is installed goes out and runs the script on the user's installation of MySQL and builds the databases and whatnot his application needs on their MySQL installation.
Now, for the OP. If all you're keeping up with is urls and such and you don't have hundreds of them. I wouldn't bother with a db at all. a properties file would actually serve your purposes, and xml would suit just fine. Of course you'd have to have access to the file system and such but no licensing issues at all.

How shoud I start. Please assist me.As endian formats are different for Solaris 8 and Redhat (solaris has big, but linux has little), then the easiest way is to use exp/imp utiltiy for migration data.
exp full database from 8i and import it in 10g. You can exp only particular schemas, it really depends, what kind of data you need, how much data You need to import and so on. But exp/imp is the answer how to get data into new database.

How to start Oracle database in solaris Machine

I installed Oracle database in my solaris machine. Everything went fine .. I was able to install it and test the database if it's working or not.
Something happened that made me shut down and restart the solaris machine, the problem is that Oracle is not running, so I have to start it manually, and I'm not sure how to do that ... Is there a way to start Oracle automatically once the solaris machine is started ...
I'm using the SSH Secure Shell Client to configure and install everything into the solaris machine ..

Here is the work around for starting oracle instance automatically.
1) logon the system as root user.
2) under /etc/init.d/ directory, create a file name oraclestart(name the file to what you feel comfortable). eg: /etc/init.d/oraclestart.
with the following content:
#!/bin/sh
# Created by Henry Nguyen
# Date 10/11/2005
# Script to automatic start and stop oracle instances on server
ORACLE_HOME=/export/home/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0 (diffrent on your system)
if [ ! -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart || ! -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut ]; then
echo missing oracle start/stop script
exit 1
fi
case "$1" in
'start')
su - oracle -c '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart'
su - oracle -c '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start'
'stop')
su - oracle -c '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop'
su - oracle -c '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut'
esac
3) create 2 soft link as following:
ln -s /etc/init.d/oraclestart /etc/rc2.d/S99oraclestart
ln -s /etc/init.d/oraclestart /etc/rc0.d/K10oraclestart
Note the S99 and K10: that are Solaris priorities to when start and stop an oracle instance and those letter must be capitalized.
Hope this will help you

Restore Oracle XE 10g Database to another machine

Hello,
I have an oracle XE database on a Windows XP machine, and I want to copy it to a Windows 7 machine.
On the XP, I performed a backup through the "Backup Database" from the GUI. The Oracle backup created 3 new folders underneath C:\ORACLEXE\APP\ORACLE\FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA\XE\
ARCHIVELOG
AUTOBACKUP
BACKUPSET
I installed XE on the Windows 7 machine and it seems to work well.
Then I coped the 3 backup folders onto a jump drive and put them in the corresponding folder structure on the new Windows 7 machine. I ran the Restore from the GUI as an administrator. The restore failed, and I can't seem to figure out why. I'm not sure what the Sequence Numbers are all about.
Now I can't get into Apex or Apex_Admin
Thanks for taking a look at this.

Hi Hemant,
Thanks for responding. I still need some help.
I copied the Restore.bat file, and added the line SET UNTIL RESTORE POINT right after the SET LOCAL line.
Then I deleted and copied the three folders (ARCHIVELOG, AUTOBACKUP, BACKUPSET) that were produced from the Backup on the original machine to the corresponding location on the new machine. I ran the modified BAT file as an administrator and got similar results.
