Administer defrag remotely for Oracle lite client database?

Hi all,
My client has installed Oracle Lite version 10.3.0.3. Oracle Lite Database file (ODB) tends to grow too large. Oracle recommends resizing the Oracle Lite database by running Defrag.exe tool. But it has to be installed manually on each handheld device. Does anyone know how to administer Defrag.exe remotely from Oracle Lite Server or can it be done in another way?
Thanks.

XE for Oracle Lite

Is it possible use Oracle XE as back-end Oracle database for Oracle Lite clients?
And how about java support?

Technically it would depend on what dependencies the sync server that Oracle Lite uses. I believe that it has java dependencies, so probably not. I will check with the Oracle Lite developers.
From a license point of view, we will have to decide. Given that we don't see XE as suitable for a master in a replication environment, I doubt that we will see it as suitable for the equivalent functionality in an Oracle Lite environment

The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection' threw

Hi All,
I am .Net developer [.Net Fream work 2.0].
In my new windows [C#] project , I have to use oracle Database [11g] which is intalled in one of the server.
I have installed [my local mechine] odp.net and Oracle.DataAccess.dll version is 2.111.7.20.
I added reference the above dll and its working fine in my mechine.
I have build the applicatrion with release option. then i moved the release folder to QA mechine [because QA team needs to test. when the are testing , they are getting below msg
"The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection' threw "
Please could some one can help,
whether i have to intall odp.net in QA mechine also ?
thanks

Hi,
As per my experience, Type initializer exception by ODP coulod also be due to mismatch between ODP.Net and dependant layers, especially with the service layer, which communicates with the OCI.
So, please do following:
- As suggested earlier, if not installed and then do install the ODP ship home on the target test machine.
- If already installed, ensure that versions do match, essentially you cannot pick a different ODP dll and try to make it work with a different version of ship home dlls.
thanks,

Type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.CThreadPool' threw an excep.

Hi all,
I have a .NET application which save data in an oracle database (about 2000 database read / write each day).
Every thing works fine since few years...
However, yesterday, one of my client got this error :
System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException: External component has thrown an exception.
at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.CThreadPool..cctor()
The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.CThreadPool' threw an exception.

at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCommand.set_CommandTimeout(Int32 value)
Any ideas ?

Hi,
thanks for the answer. Yes the Inner exception returns "The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client".
Could it be the Oracle Client Version? I just noticed that on that machine there is the Oracle Client version 11.1.

Is oracle lite free or is there any license for Oracle Lite 10g for product

Is oracle lite free or is there any license for Oracle Lite 10g for production use ??
-Thanks-

Please note that Oracle Lite is no longer being actively developed, and no further releases are planned. The recommended small footprint database from Oracle is Berkeley DB.

What's the latest patch for oracle 10g client?

what's the latest patch for oracle 10g client? 6810189?

The same as the patch for the Oracle database of the same version and operating system. Since you didn't specify the operating system or the particular Oracle version (10g could mean 10.1 or 10.2), it's hard to be more specific.

Is license required for Oracle 10g client on production

Is license required for Oracle 10g client on production?

Standard disclaimer: We don't represent Oracle. Your situation may be different because of specific wording in your particular Oracle contract, because of differences in licensing regimes over the years, because of laws in your particular country, etc. If you have a serious licensing question, you really need to address it to Oracle Sales. Explaining that some guy on the internet told you it was OK is going to be cold comfort if you're ever audited by Oracle and they disagree with my interpretation...
In general, no, you don't need a separate client license. The database is generally licensed to support a number of named users and/or all the users that a certain hardware configuration can support. Assuming the person using the Oracle client is connecting to a properly licensed database (and that they are one of the named users if that is the licensing regime), you shouldn't need a separate license.
There may be slightly different rules if we're talking about developers connecting to the database because of the "Oracle Programmer" set of licenses that appears on pricing sheets that I've never fully understood.

License for Oracle Unix client

Let say I have an application running on Unix 64bit (SunOS,HPUX or AIX) accessing a DB with proC, php or jdbc OCI.
From XE doc I understood that it is possible to have the DB running Oracle XE on Linux 32bit and the application connecting to the DB with Oracle SE or EE Client from Unix 64bit.
What license is required for Oracle Unix client?
Is the configuration above free (or am I naive)?

As least Oracle instance client is Free according to Oracle.

The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleClientFactory'

Hi
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
Version 9.0.21022.8 RTM
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 3.5 SP1
Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio 11.1.0.7.20
I have DB 11.2.0.1 installed on my machine ( OraDb11g_home1 ) and ODT in another home OraClient11g_home1 on my Windows 7 32-bits
After installing ODT I tried to create a new DataSource, it succeeded (test connection is succesful) but while saving I get
"The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleClientFactory' threw an exception." messagebox.
In registry I have both keys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ODP.NET\2.111.7.20
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ODP.NET\2.112.1.0
of course I can connect to db from both homes.
I've been searching for simmilar issues but have not found something that would help me solve this one.

ODP.NET actually consists of several DLLs, some managed, some not. If you are missing one of the DLLs in the chain or it somehow picks up mismatched DLLs from several different versions then you will get this error. So if you hand copied DLL's rather than using an installer, this might be the cause.
Another typical cause of this error is that you deployed your application to another machine (web server) and did not properly install ODP.NET over there.
The best solution is to reinstall ODP.NET using the installer on the machine where you will run your application. If you already have ODP.NET there, make sure it is the right version and perform a clean up to make sure old versions are not lying around.

Oladoce missing for oracle lite

Does anyone know where the oladoce (ado for oracle lite) should be. I've downloaded oracle lite and can't find the data access component.

We are considering adding support for the other DBs which Oracle has. Lite is on the list. There's no timelines yet.

Create Custom response file for Oracle 9i client

I am trying to create a customized response file for oracle 9i client installation,
setup -record -destinationFile C:\response_files\install_oracle
i replaced setup with the path and i followed the instruction correctly, after the installation is done i do get two response files in the location
Then i created a batch file to run the response file , it installed , but when i check the compmonents what ever is installed, it never recorded all the components which i installed during the time of RECORD mode
is there any thing i need to do for record all the components
Please advice
Thank you
Ravi

i have oracle client 9.2.0.1.0
We need to run both the run time installation and custom installation
when i did record i was able to get only the run time installation, the components which i customized, i never got, after when i try to install the response file, it never installa all the components
what should i do to make both runtime and custom to be done in one response file,
i have a .rsp files which do install the custom with all installtion, but we also need
under programs, ORACLE INSTALLTION PRODUCTS and under that HOME SELCTOR, UNIVERSAL INSTALLER, missing.
let meknow how i can add this to my .rsp files which installs perfectly with custom installtion, if you have any customised .rsp files which will fill my needs, can any one post it

Storing Foreign Characters in oracle 9i Lite Client Database.

Hi All,
My Database configuration Is
RDBMS VERSION 9.0.1.1.1
NLS_CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
Operating System Windows 2000
My Oracle Lite configuration Is
Oracle9i Lite Release 5.0.2.0.8
Client Locations:
Africa,Europe,Asia,America
Currently all clients store data only in English in the client odb either through java and oracle forms applications.
We want to now store data for some specific tables, in the clients own language.Also we should be able to retrieve that data and see that data as it was entered.
For example :
The client in china after downloading the odb should be able to enter the data for that specific tables in the Chinese language.(They use windows 2000/XP English version).
1. What are the settings i need to do in the client environment?
like installing Chinese font or setting NLS_LANG parameter etc...
2. What are the settings i need to do in the server environment?
Because there should not be any loss of any data or junk values getting stored instead of actual values entered by clients.
Also when i query that specific tables in the oracle database after synchronization i should be able to view that data entered by the clients in their own language.
Eg:data entered by china clients should be visible in chinese fonts,
data entered by brazil clients should be visible in brazilian fonts,
data entered by vietnam clients should be visible in vietnamese fonts.
3. will there be any synchronization issues when clients try to sync after data entry with
their own languages?
Please do advice on these issue...........

I have given you the info of how to set up Oracle Lite for UTF8. I can only point you in the direction for globalization on the enterprise server. Also note that Oracle Lite only support NLS_LENGHT_SEMANTICS=BYTE, your EE database will be CHAR, so you have to alter the session paramter before you create the repository and/or publish your application.
Here is a Oracle Document on Globalization:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/pdf/TWP_AppDev_Unicode_10gR2.pdf
Here is what Oracle Lite's Developers Guide has on development of linguistic sorts:
2.11 Support for Linguistic Sort
Linguistic sort is a feature for the ASCII version of Oracle Database Lite. It produces culturally acceptable order of strings for a specified language or collation sequence. The ASCII version supports several code pages defined by single-byte 8-bit encoding schemes. Each of these code pages is a super set of 7-bit ASCII, and the additional accented characters necessary to support a group of European languages are included in the upper 128 bytes. A new string comparison mechanism is provided that produces strings in a linguistically correct order by mapping each collation element of a string to the corresponding 8-bit value of the supported code page.
2.11.1 Creating Linguistic Sort Enabled Databases
The linguistic sort capability must be enabled when the database is created using the CREATEDB command line utility with the <collation_sequence> enabled.
Note:
For more information on the CREATEDB utility, see Section A.2, "CREATEDB".
The behavior of the ORDER_BY clause and the WHERE condition are determined by how the NLS_SORT parameter is implemented. Binary sorting is the default setting, and is used unless the <collation_sequence> parameter is set to use the linguistic sort ordering rules.
NLSRT is not supported in the current version of Oracle Database Lite. Therefore, NCHAR data type is not yet available.
2.11.2 How Collation Works
Collation refers to ordering of strings into a culturally acceptable sequence. A collation sequence is a sequence of all collation elements from an alphabet from smallest collation order to the largest. Once a collation sequence is given, orders of all strings from the same alphabet are fixed. As such, the collation sequence encodes the linguistic requirements on collation. A collation element is the smallest sub-string that can be used by the comparison function to determine the order of two strings.
2.11.3 Collation Element Examples
Normally, a collation element is just one character. In binary sorting, only one property, the code value that represents a character, is used. But in linguistic sorting, usually three properties. The primary level of difference is the base character. The secondary level of difference is for diacritical marks on a given base character. The tertiary level of difference is for the case of a given character. Punctuation can function as a fourth level of difference, but comparisons for punctuation occur last and are made at the binary rather than the linguistic level. These are used for each collation element. The following sections contain examples that demonstrate sorting priorities.
2.11.3.1 Sorting Normal Characters
This section lists a set of examples that describe how to sort normal characters.
Example 1
'a' < 'b'. There is a primary difference between them on the character level.
Example 2
'À' > 'a'. This difference occurs on the secondary level. Note that 'À'and 'a' are considered "equal" on the primary level.
Example 3
'À' < 'à' in FRENCH but 'À' > 'à' in GERMAN. This difference on the tertiary level. Note that 'À' and 'à' are considered being "equal" on the primary and secondary level. Also note that the case convention may be different for different language.
Example 4
'às' < 'at'. This is a difference on the primary level. This example shows the role of difference levels: the lower level differences are ignored if there is a primary level difference anywhere in the strings.
Example 5
'+data' < '-data' <'data' <'data-'. If strings are compared and present no difference on the primary, secondary, or tertiary levels, they are compared for punctuation.
2.11.3.2 Reverse Sorting of French Accents
Some languages, particularly French, require words to be ordered on the secondary level according to the last accent difference. This behavior is known as French secondary sorting or French accent ordering.
Example
'côte' < 'coté' in FRENCH but 'coté' < 'côte' in GERMAN. Note that the secondary difference of 'e' and 'é' occurred later than those of 'ô' and 'o'.
2.11.3.3 Sorting Contracting Characters
There are some special cases where two or more characters in a group can function as a single collation element. These types of collation elements are called 'contracting characters' or 'group characters'. In these cases each of these characters properties are assigned appropriate values.
Example
'h' < 'ch' < 'i' in XCZECH. Here 'ch' is assigned a primary property value which differentiates it from 'h' and 'i', such that 'h' < 'ch' < 'i'. Note that 'ch' is treated as a single character.
2.11.3.4 Sorting Expanding Characters
If a letter sorts as if it were a sequence of more than one letter, it is called an 'expanding character'. For example, in German the sharp s (ß) is treated as if it were a string of two characters 'ss' when comparing with other letters.
2.11.3.5 Sorting Numeric Characters
Only sorting of single digit characters from '0' to '9' is currently supported. For the supported European languages a digit character is always sorted as greater than any alphabetic character. For other languages this may be not the same. Other numeric characters such as Roman numeric characters and counting sequences, such as "one", "two", "three", are not supported at this time.
Example
'1' > 'z' in any European language, '1' < 'a' in LATVIAN. Note that this difference occurs on the primary level.

Oracle Database Lite Client database performance

Hi,
I need to know well does Oracle databse lite client databse works if it contains 3-3.5 GB data? Does it get sluggish beccause the maximum allowed is 4 GB?
Regards
Roomap

We had similar problems during the processing phase (delay here points at a client device issue).
We use Dell and HP PDAs, and have databases up to about 40MB. During the acceptance testing a couple of years back we were finding that the processing phase could be upto about 25 minutes on new builds/complete refresh
We tested out a few different scenarios that might help
1) clear down databse files and odbc.txt (this will force a complete rebuild without affecting any parameters) with the SD installed
2) repeat the above, but remove the SD card before the sync (this forces the databases to be put into my device/built in storage
3) try different types of SD cards
our results found that we would on average get
1) 15-20 minutes
2) 2 minutes
3) big variance of 2.5 to 20 minurtes, but consistent by manufacturer
It seemed that the different speed SD cards made a big difference, and even cards nominally the same speed from different manufacturers were very different in practice.
In some cases (Kingston was one i think), Japananese manufactured cards were much better than the european ones, even though they were supposed to be identical.
If you get a difference between the processing phase when using SD cards vs using main memory, i would expect the cards to be the issue.
NOTE we have also had issues where the user pressed the power off whilst the application was processing (we have some end of visit checks that can take up to 90 seconds). If this happened and they later resumed, the process would continue, but the few milliseconds delay in repowering the SD card was enough to cause device read and write errors. Again some cards were worse than others

Hi,
Well, the steps as the same as install Oracle Server Database.
Which tools on the Oracle Client you want to use ?
Maybe Oracle Instant Client is more interesting for you.
Look this link: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html
