Alternative free version for TOAD for non-DBA purpose

Hi,
I am a new junior DBA in my company. i have lots of oracle developers who needs a tool like TOAD to work with oracle but should not have DBA facilities.
and also need to have something which is for long term and not like TOAD freeware which we have to re-install every 3 months.
I have sql developer and plsql developer in mind.
does someone know of any other tools that can be used like TOAD with non-DBA privilieges.
Thanks in advance,
Philip.

We use PL/SQL Developer from allround automations, it's not free, but it is much cheaper than TOAD (Does Toad still have the clause where you can keep reinstalling the free version, as long as you don't have more than 5 people using it in your organistation?). The company are very flexible about licensing too - we recently whent from 10 to 20 licences, about 3 years after getting the original 10 user pack, and they let us just pay the difference between the 10 user pack and 20 user - don't know many companies who would do that.
We have been using it for a few years now, and it works great - both for people doing PL/SQL development, and for people just using it for ad-hoc querying and support purposes.
But if SQL Developer had been available when I started looking at the available tools I probably have gone with that - you can't beat the price, and you know the company isn't going to go bust!

SQL tab not working in V2.1 EA1 for non-DBA users -- how to fix?

In v2.1 EA 1 the tab to show the SQL script (DDL) in the object browser is not working for non-DBA users. In the prior version, these users would see a message about DBMS_METADATA and then the message would indicate that an "internal generator" would be used to generate the DDL script. After that brief message the DDL would show up as expected. This doesn't seem to be the case in the newest version.
I issued the following two grants to a particular user which worked, but I am reluctant to issue the grants to "PUBLIC".
SQL> grant execute on DBMS_METADATA to XXXXX;
SQL> grant select_catalog_role to XXXXX;
So, my questions are:
1) Will the old functionality (that didn't require these privileges) be added to V2 at some point?
2) What security implications are there for issueing the above grants to PUBLIC?
NOTE: After granting execute on the DBMS_METADATA package, it still didn't work. I left that grant in place and granted SELECT_CATAOG_ROLE, so I can't say for sure that the 1st grant was required.

An OEM account is separate from the database account. You need to use OEM UI to create an OEM account, however, for certain tasks to be done in the databases which OEM is monitoring they will also require separate database accounts within those databases. For example, to view the performance tab in OEM UI, a database account is required.
OEM only has two types of users, i.e. Super Administrator and Administrator, but don't go by the names. You can grant an OEM 'Administrator' account access to specific targets and what they can do within OEM, such as only viewing reports, targets, and so on. For access within a database, the user created need not be a DBA either.
I hope you understand.

UltraNav version for non-IBM clone PC to run IBM Travel PS/2 Keyboard, 89P8500, SK-8840?

My beloved IBM T42, circa 2005, has been retired from work duties and soldiers on in limited duty at home. I have recently attempted to re-create the well-designed keyboard, particularly the Synaptics touchpad and the TrackPoint, for my office PC, which is a clone (but with 'name-brand' internals, an Intel motherboard and processor, Kingston RAM, OCZ SSD) running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional, SP1.
So, for the princely sum of $35 I purchased a new keyboard, an IBM Part No. 89P8500 and IBM Model No. SK-8840. It's labeled IBM, not Lenovo. The keyboard's cord ends in two PS/2 plugs, one for the keyboard and one for the mouse, the latter I believe refers to the integrated Synaptics touchpad, and the integrated Trackpoint. My office PC has no PS/2 inputs, so I purchased a Ziotek PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse to USB Adapter (ZT1040444) to make the connection between the keyboard and the PC.
The keyboard does achieve basic functionality by simply plugging it into the PC through the Ziotek adapter. But the Synaptics touchpad and the TrackPoint are capable of considerably more functionality. I know this because on my T42 the touchpad and TrackPoint were controlled by UltraNav software, which created a tab in the Mouse Properties in Control Panel. There, many adjustments and customizations were possible.
But having spent more hours than I will admit to (yes, it's in double digits), I am still unable to achieve UltraNav levels of functionality. Worse, and even though the keyboard functions, if I open Control Panel, Mouse Properties an error message appears saying:
"Unable to connect to the Synaptics Pointing Device Driver.
If you have installed another PS/2 Pointing Device Driver please uninstall the Synaptics driver by clicking on the Yes button. You then need to reinstall your pointing device driver for your external device again.
Do you want to uninstall the Synaptics driver now?"
I select "No" and the Mouse Properties dialogue box opens, sans any indication of UltraNav or any functionality beyond the basic functions provided in Windows.
It finally dawned on me that the UltraNav software is IBM's proprietary version of Synaptics' generic touchpad / trackpoint driver. And it just doesn't want to and/or isn't going to work on my clone PC. I have literally tried dozens of USB and PS/2 drivers from Lenovo's website. The generic Synaptics driver from Synaptics' website imparts none of the UltraNav functionality, as best as I can tell.
My guess is that IBM probably didn't plan on selling enough of the now-priced-at-$35 keyboard (89P8500 / SK-8840) to merit going to the trouble and expense of preparing an UltraNav driver for non-IBM computers to run the thing. But, is there a version of UltraNav that will run on non-IBM/Lenovo PCs? I haven't found it.
The keyboard uses PS/2 and the Ziotek adapter, at least in theory, maps the PS/2 interface over to work with the USB interface. But is Windows 7 Professional 64-bit treating the Ziotek adapter-connected keyboard as a PS/2 device (which it is), or does the Ziotek adapter cause windows to treat the keyboard as a USB device? Thus, is the adapter's mapping over process so complete that the PS/2 device is now treated as a USB device? I have inquired with Ziotek and I am awaiting a response, which may never come.
I posted here in desperation. Please help, if you are able.
Thank you,
Dennis

IBM sourced their keyboards from another company for a long time, and that company not only still exists, but still sells the keyboard you're using (though for much more). Company is Unicomp. Website is pckeyboard.com. They probably support the keyvboard.
That said, the generic synaptics reference driver should work for the trackpad. Can't say the same for the trackpoint.

Grid control interface for non-DBA users...

I was wondering if there is a way to provide non-DBAs an account to log into OEM (OMS Grid Control) for 11g.
We have some SQL Server DBAs and developers/report writers who are quite curious about OEM, especially after I gave them all a presentation on it.
I tried creating an account in one of our repository databases but OEM did not recognize the account (invalid username/password).
Does anyone know if this is possible or how this can be done?
I have OMS 10.2.0.5 set up with a repository database and a crash-and-burn database that our folks can mess with.
Thanks.

Why can't I tunes match provide drm free versions for purchased music?

I bought Itunes match thinking that I was going to upgrade my entire library of purchased music from what was promised in their ads. most of my music does not seem to be available in drm free versions. is that normal?

Hi,
Most music can be upgraded with only a very small number not qualifying because the version of track is no longer available. Upgrading is not automatic. You need to delete the original and download upgraded version.

Educational versions for non-profits?

Hi, I am working for a non-profit organisation and we would love to have photoshop and illustrator, but can't afford the commercial products. Are we able to purchase the educational version?

Quality Certificate Profile:alternative converitable UOM for Non SI units

Dear All,
I have a requirement from the client where I need to maintain the alternative UOM as below:
1. Micron to Guage with convertiable factor 1 Micron = 4 guage
2. Kg/cm2 = PSI (Pounds per sq inch) with cov factor 1 Kg/cm2 = 14.29 PSI.
As I understood from SAP document we can maintain alternative UOM for SI units only.
Please anyone guide how can I fulfill this requirement.
Thanks,

Better solution Craig,
Dear Uday,
You can set the formula for the calculated characteristic as it convert the Micron result in to the gauge automatically,
Best Of Luck,

Using education version for professional/commercial purposes

Can anyone help me out with this? I've gone through Adobe customer support, in several different manners, and get several different answers to this.I've also found different answers on the forums too.
I am currently a student and using an education version of Web PremiumCS4, purchased through Adobe, with a valid student ID. I am getting interest in freelance work and would like to eventually use my programs for professional uses. However, from what I understand, that would currently go against the educational product license agreement.
To me, it would make sense that a student using the product to learn how to become a professional, using the product for their career choice, would eventually want to use their same copy for commercial reasons. So far, I've been told I have to purchase the full version with the commercial license in order to be able to use it without legal concern. Why in the world would I purchase the product all over again when the copy I have is exactly the same, just the legal agreements are different?? Ive also been told that I can trade in my educational product, receive credit for the price I paid and pay the remaining difference to buy the same program, just with a commercial license.
Clarity please!
Thanks,
Shelbie

Hey Shelbie, the really good news is, when you do graduate and want to use the programs for true commercial work, then Adobe does give you a great deal to upgrade to the full commercial version from your student version. I upgraded from my student version of Web Standard CS3 to Web Premium CS4 for $559 compared to having to pay $1499 for it. It is a huge savings compared to what someone off the street has to pay.

Where can I find an event handling for non gui purposes good tutorial

Hello to all, I am searching the net for a good tutorial about java Event and Event handling that is not GUI related.
All I find on the net are tutorial and examples that are related to GUI components the has pre defined events and handlers.
please help me find good material to learn from.
Appreciate it a lot.
Dan

I'd say goto the Java tutorial (www.thejavatutorial.com) and check up from there. Just because most event handleing is done in GUI's (swing comes to mind) doesn't imply its limited to that. For an example, check out the JavaBeans trail. Beans have ways to communicate with each other when (for example) a change in the bean occurs. Thats done through an event yet isn't related to GUI's in any way.

Using Servlet for non HTTP purpose

Hi,
I have a requirement where I require tomcat to serve a non http request. Is there a way?

The HTTP protocol begins with a line like:
GET /some/thing HTTP/1.0
Tomcat uses the "/some/thing" to find out to which servlet to give the request.
If your protocol doesn't have that line, Tomcat is going to have a hard time knowing what to do with the request.
You could write a thread that opens a ServerSocket, accepts incoming requests, and hands them off to a servlet-like system (perhaps even subclasses of Servlet). You could even run that thread within Tomcat. If you want/can restrict yourself to Tomcat, you may even be able to use parts of Tomcat's internals (the Service/Connector/Engine infrastructure or whatnot.) Whether this is a good approach depends on all kinds of details.
