Alter table script for wrong database version

When we generate an alter table script by connecting to a database, the scripts that get generated are for database version 7.3.
Furthermore we cannot update the field "oracle version" for the database we created.
When we choose a database version from the pulldown box and try to save it, the field is blank again.
We are on Designer 9 on a oracle 10g database and we try to alter the table in a oracle 10g database.

I had this error last night while applying a patch to 6.0. However in my case the version was 21 versus a required version of 23.
As far as i know 6.1 is not compatible with the 5 db schema, so you will need an update / migration plan for the db also.

The SYSVAL table entry for the database version (16) does not match the required version

We upgraded from Tidal Enterprise Scheduler (TES) 5.31 to 6.1 on fresh Windows x64 2008 R2 servers. I did a fresh install but our DBA restored a copy of our database from pre-prod which was at 5.31. I get the error below. Note, SQL went from 2005 to 2012 during this upgrade. Do I need to change a value in this table to reflect the SQL change?

Oracle SQL template to create re-usable DDL/DML Scripts for Oracle database

Hi,
I have a requirement to put together a Oracle SQL template to create re-usable DDL/DML Scripts for Oracle databases.
Only the Oracle DBA will be running the scripts so permissions is not an issue.
The workflow for any DDL is as follows:-
1) New Table
a. Check if the table exists from the system/admin views.
b. If table exists then give message "Table Exists"
c. If table does not exist then execute DDL code
2) Add Column
a. Check if Column exists for a given table from system/admin views
b. If column exists in the specified table,
b1. backup table.
b2. alter table to make changes to the column
b3. verify data or execute dml script convert from backup to the new change.
c. If Column does not exist
c1. backup table
c2. alter table to add column
c3. execute dml to populate column with default value.
The DML scripts are for populating base tables with data required for business operations.
3) Add new row
a. check if row exists by comparing old values of each column with new values to be added for the new record.
b. If exists, give message row exists
c. If not exists, add new record.
4) Update existing record (We have createtime columns in these tables so changes can be tracked)
a. check if row exists using primary key.
b. If exists,
b1. deactivate the record using the "active" column of the table
b2. Add new record with the changes required.
c. If does not exist, add new record with the changes required.
Could you please help with some ideas which can get this done accurately?
I have tried several ways, but I am not able to put together something that fulfills all requirements.
Thank you,

First let me address your question. (This is the easy part.)
1. The existence of tables can be found in DBA_TABLES. Query it and and then use conditional logic and execute immediate to process the DDL.
2. The existence of table columns is found in DBA_TAB_COLUMNS. Query it and then conditionally execute your DDL. You can copy the "before picture" of the table using that same dba view, or even better, use DBMS_METADATA.
As for your DML scripts, they should be restartable, reversible, and re-run-able. They should "fail gracefully" on error, be written in such a way that they can run twice in a row without creating duplicate changes.
3. Adding appropriate constraints can prevent invalid duplicate rows. Also, you can usually add to the where clause so that the DML does only what it needs to do without even relying on the constraint (but the constraint is there as a safeguard). Look up the MERGE statement to learn how to do an UPSERT (update/insert), which will let you conditionally "deactivate" (update) or insert a record. Anything that you cannot do in SQL can be done with simple procedural code.
Now, to the heart of the matter...
You think I did not understand your requirements?

Update SQL script for lower SQL version

Hi, I am copying same records 9 times and this query is working fine in SQL-2008 or newer version but getting the following error in Lower SQL version. How I can run this script for lower SQL version.
drop table #temp
create table #temp (Code1 varchar(10))
insert into #temp values ('ABC')
;With Numbers As
(Select 1 As Number
Union All
Select Number + 1
From Numbers
Where Number < 9)
Select t.*
From #temp t
Cross Join Numbers;
Error: Line 2: Incorrect syntax near ';'.

Why are you using CTE in SQl server 2000. They were introduced from 2005. of course you need to confirm version of SQL Server
Plus use code like below
If object_ID('tempdb..#Temp') IS NOT NULL
drop table #temp
create table #temp (Code1 varchar(10))
insert into #temp values ('ABC')
;With Numbers As
(Select 1 As Number
Union All
Select Number + 1
From Numbers
Where Number < 9)
Select t.*
From #temp t
Cross Join Numbers;

END;Thanks

You need to be more specific.
First, you said that you wanted to purge your database, and then the tablespace, and finally, some tables...
If you want to flush data from a table completelly, use TRUNCATE TABLE.
If you want to remove some rows of that table, use DELETE FROM TABLE WHERE [your condition here]

RMAN Backup script for RAC Database..please suggest

Hi All,
I am currently working on backup policy for RAC Database for my client.The client requirement is to backup while database is shutdown(mount state).I have made below script and could any one please suggest what further things should I need to add with below rman script.
echo "Shutdown Database";date
srvctl stop database -d PROD
srvctl status database -d PROD
echo "Database shutdown on";date
echo "Mount Database ";date
srvctl start instance -d PROD -i "PROD1" -o mount
srvctl status database -d PROD
echo "Start Full Database Backup on";date
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog <<EOF
configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/BACKUP/PRODBKP/%F';
run{
allocate channel c1 device type disk connect 'sys/******@node1-vip:1521/PROD';
allocate channel c2 device type disk connect 'sys/*****@node2-vip:1521/PROD';
backup format '/BACKUP/PRODBKP/PROD_df_%t_%s_%p.bak'(database);
backup format '/BACKUP/PRODBKP/archive_%t_%s_%p.bak' archivelog all;
copy current controlfile to '/BACKUP/PRODBKP/PROD.ctl';
delete noprompt obsolete;
release channel c1;
release channel c2;
exit
EOF
echo "RMAN Backup Finished on";date
echo "Shutdown Database";date
srvctl stop database -d PROD
echo "Start Database";date
srvctl start database -d PROD
srvctl status database -d PROD
Please share your experiences.
Regards

Hi,
Some tweaks for your script.
echo "Shutdown Database";date
srvctl stop database -d PROD
srvctl status database -d PROD
echo "Database shutdown on";date
echo "Mount Database ";date
srvctl start instance -d PROD -i "PROD1" -o mount1. If you database does not shutdown properly , does your script stops the execution of next step?
2. configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/BACKUP/PRODBKP/%F';(Why you need to configure this every time) ?
It's persistent at db level one time setting (until some other script changes the settings by other dba - else remove that - set the configuration at db level once for all)

Copying script for itunes database files?

Hi,
I stored my itunes music on another internal HD called Spitfire. The default storage folder for the itunes xml and library files is in my main internal HD /user/music/itunes folder ie. Master
i use superduper to backup Spitfire, but i would like to backup the 2 aforementioned files.
is there a script (I'm using panther latest version) to automatcially copy and paste the 2 files from Master to Spitfire?
Cheers,
keebler

Try this:
tell application "Finder"
repeat with this_item in items of folder "path:to:folder"
if modification date of this_item is greater than date "Sunday January 1, 2006 00:00:00" then
set the_alias to this_item as alias
tell application "iTunes"
add alias the_alias
end tell
end if
end repeat
end tell
The path to the folder in line 2 and the date in line 3 can be customized as needed. The path needs to be delimited by colons.

Script for checking Reader version?

Does anyone have a script that will check the user's version when opening the form, and throw an error if it is earlier than a specified version?
Thanks!

Angie,
If you are referring to the user's version of Reader or Acrobat, you can use xfa.host.version.

PowerShell Script For Finding Database Instance Names

G'day
I am trying to get information on a couple of dozen SQL database servers database instances - long story, but our DBA's do not have complete lists at the moment, and I need to find out this information.
I have done a bit of work with PowerShell (and love it) version 3, however I do not know many SQL commands and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction please.
This is the code I have at the moment:
Get-Service -ComputerName MSQLULTDBS04 | ?{$_.DisplayName -like "*SQL*"} | Select name,DisplayName,status
It gets the information on the SQL Server install on the remote server.
What I am trying to do however is get a list of the databases that are running on this server. Can someone help me out please?

Hello Scott,
Please have a look at TechNet ScriptCenter:
Create Inventory of SQL Server in Network as Html
It lists also all databases, but of course you need permissions to logon to that SQL Servers.

Alter table source in SES

Hi!
We have a lot of table sources in SES and need to change database host in source definition but unfortunatly source is read only and no supported way described in docs.
Updating EQ$_DATA_SOURCE_PARAM_VAL with new value seems to be proper way - in administration UI source shown with new value but crawler is unable to connect to DB and using old value with old setting.
What else should I fix?
Thanks!
