Anyone using Drupal 7 with Oracle 11g?

I am currently with a group that fields PHP applications on top of Oracle 11g databases. We currently use OCI8 in a RHEL6/Apache environment for our homegrown PHP apps and sites. We are looking at using Drupal 7 to help stream-line our development process as well as make our web apps a bit more visually appealing. (engineers not artists here!).
The problem we have run into is that it seems Drupal 7 does not see or recognize the OCI8 driver as valid for its install. It apparently wants us to use PDO_OCI which we have no experience with.
Does anyone out there run a Drupal 7/Oracle 11g combo that could share their experiences and which driver they use? My googling of the subject has led me to believe the PDO driver may be inferior in some respects to OCI8 for BLOB handling. This is a concern as we do a lot of user upload file sharing as BLOBs stored in the database rather than as files on the OS.
Thank you.

Drupal needs PDO and won't work with native drivers like OCI8. Contact Andrea Gariboldi, the maintainer of the Oracle adapter for Drupal http://drupal.org/project/oracle. He maintains a number of customer sites running Drupal. He will be able to help you make a decision.
The main PDO_OCI issues with LOBs are: (1) no CLOB support due to original creator being unsure how to handle CLOBs in a portable way across all databases (2) a crash doing multi-row fetches of BLOBs (potential patch in https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=57702)
There are other issues with PDO_OCI including no connection pooling and no statement caching. It's a pity the community interest in PDO_OCI hasn't been greater and so no one is maintaining it. Even the core PDO layer isn't getting much attention - there was idle talk recently about moving PHP away from PDO.

Anyone used Quadralay Webworks with Oracle Help?

I'm an expert Quadralay Webworks user looking at creating a template for Oracle Java Help.
Has anyone out there tried this? Would you be willing to share some tips?
I've already created/customized a Webworks Java Help template so I generally know what I'm doing. Just wondering if there are any surprises I should look out for.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Naomi

Naomi,
The Oracle Help has not authored help using WebWorks, but we have heard about this process from both internal and external consumers.
You can use the templates for JavaHelp or MS HTML Help that are included in WebWorks. With both, at least, I know you can then utilize our Oracle Help authoring wizard, import the MS HTML Help TOC and keyword index files and then generate the helpset (in the case of JavaHelp this is already available) and full-text search files.
One gotcha with WebWorks is that it doesn't automate the generation of the Oracle Help map file. You will have to make this by hand. We know that WebWorks has looked into an Oracle Help template. You might try contacting them to see if it is available.
Cheers,
Craig.

Error Intall RWD Uperform 4.3 on Windows 2008 with Oracle 11G

Hi,
I need install RWD Uperform 4.3 on Windows 2008 with Oracle 11G.
When tried install Uperform 4.3 occurs the next error:
Product: RWD uPerform Server -- This Release requires Oracle 11.2 R2 ODP Client to be Installed.
If you are not using Oracle, please use the regular 4.30.0 release.
If you are using Oracle, please install ODP.NET and then re-run the Setup. Setup will be aborted now.
I installed the ODP.NET whit the version 11.2.0.2.
But the errors still occur.
Thanks.
Marco Kolombesky

In the end I solved my problem.
But I installed RWD uperform 4.4 (not 4.3).
But I think that the problem was that when I installed uperform 4.3 I didn't run this command at DB level on my SQL Server datadabe:
ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks2008R2
SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON;
GO

Help with oracle 11g pivot operator

i need some help with oracle 11g pivot operator. is it possible to use multiple columns in the FOR clause and then compare it against multiple set of values.
here is the sql to create some sample data
create table pivot_data ( country_code number , dept number, job varchar2(20), sal number );
insert into pivot_data values (1,30 , 'SALESMAN', 5000);
insert into pivot_data values (1,301, 'SALESMAN', 5500);
insert into pivot_data values (1,30 , 'MANAGER', 10000);
insert into pivot_data values (1,301, 'MANAGER', 10500);
insert into pivot_data values (1,30 , 'CLERK', 4000);
insert into pivot_data values (1,302, 'CLERK',4500);
insert into pivot_data values (2,30 , 'SALESMAN', 6000);
insert into pivot_data values (2,301, 'SALESMAN', 6500);
insert into pivot_data values (2,30 , 'MANAGER', 11000);
insert into pivot_data values (2,301, 'MANAGER', 11500);
insert into pivot_data values (2,30 , 'CLERK', 3000);
insert into pivot_data values (2,302, 'CLERK',3500);
using case when I can write something like this and get the output i want
select country_code
,avg(case when (( dept = 30 and job = 'SALESMAN' ) or ( dept = 301 and job = 'SALESMAN' ) ) then sal end ) as d30_sls
,avg(case when (( dept = 30 and job = 'MANAGER' ) or ( dept = 301 and job = 'MANAGER' ) ) then sal end ) as d30_mgr
,avg(case when (( dept = 30 and job = 'CLERK' ) or ( dept = 302 and job = 'CLERK' ) ) then sal end ) as d30_clrk
from pivot_data group by country_code;
output
country_code          D30_SLS               D30_MGR               D30_CLRK
1      5250      10250      4250
2      6250      11250      3250
what I tried with pivot is like this I get what I want if I have only one ( dept,job) for one alias name. I want to call (30 , 'SALESMAN') or (301 , 'SALESMAN') AS d30_sls. any help how can I do this
SELECT *
FROM pivot_data
PIVOT (SUM(sal) AS sum
FOR (dept,job) IN ( (30 , 'SALESMAN') AS d30_sls,
          (30 , 'MANAGER') AS d30_mgr,
(30 , 'CLERK') AS d30_clk
this is a simple example .... my real life scenario is compliated with more fields and more combinations .... So something like using substr(dept,1,2) won't work in my real case .
any suggestions get the result similar to what i get in the case when example is really appreciated.

Hi,
Sorry, I don't think there's any way to get exactly what you requested. The values you give in the PIVOT ... IN clause are exact values, not alternatives.
You could do something like this to map all alternatives to a common value:
WITH     got_dept_grp     AS
     SELECT     country_code, job, sal
     ,     CASE
              WHEN job IN ('SALESMAN', 'MANAGER') AND dept = 301 THEN 30
              WHEN job IN ('CLERK')               AND dept = 302 THEN 30
                                                                 ELSE dept
          END     AS dept_grp
     FROM     pivot_data
SELECT     *
FROM     got_dept_grp
PIVOT     (     AVG (sal)
     FOR     (job, dept_grp)
     IN     ( ('SALESMAN', 30)
          , ('MANAGER' , 30)
          , ('CLERK'   , 30)
;In your sample data (and perhaps in your real data), it's about as easy to explicitly define the pivoted groups individually, like this:
WITH     got_pivot_key     AS
     SELECT     country_code, sal
     ,     CASE
              WHEN job = 'SALESMAN' AND dept IN (30, 301) THEN 'd30_sls'
              WHEN job = 'MANAGER' AND dept IN (30, 301) THEN 'd30_mgr'
              WHEN job = 'CLERK'    AND dept IN (30, 302) THEN 'd30_clrk'
          END     AS pivot_key
     FROM    pivot_data
SELECT     *
FROM     got_pivot_key
PIVOT     (     AVG (sal)
     FOR     pivot_key
     IN     ( 'd30_sls'
          , 'd30_mgr'
          , 'd30_clrk'
;Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements; that really helps!

Pro*C with Oracle 11g

Hi !
I didn't find a forum specific to pro*c, so here i am because i was told this forum had a bit of pro*c activity....
I've downloaded Oracle 11g and recompiled our applications using pro*c
We currently precompiling without any problem our sources against Oracle 7, 8, 9, 10.
With Oracle 11g, it doesn't work !
every EXEC SQL followed by a command works.
every EXEC SQL followed by a query generates the same error.
Example :
char *oracle_date_courante()
static char buf[SIZE_ORADATE+1];
EXEC SQL SELECT sysdate into :buf from DUAL;
if(ORA_SQLERROR())
oracle_error("sélection date courante");
buf[0]=0;
return buf;
PRO*C output :
Erreur Ó la ligne 105, colonne 2 dans le fichier src\oracle.pc
EXEC SQL
.1
PLS-S-00000, SQL Statement ignored
erreur sÚmantique Ó la ligne 105, colonne 2, fichier src\oracle.pc:
EXEC SQL
.1
PCC-S-02346, PL/SQL a trouvÚ des erreurs sÚmantiques
So, we investigated... And found that thoses errors come when we use the option sqlcheck=semantics.
If we use an inferiour check level, it works but because we use PL/SQL keywords, pro*c prints errors and wants us to provide the 'semantics' sqlcheck level !
So, it's a vicious circle !
Any ideas ?
Thanks...
Vincent

Adding the option common_parser=yes removes the errors !
But brings errors linked to the PL/SQL parser such like
CSF-S-00000, ORA-06544: PL/SQL : erreur interne, arguments : [55916], [], [], []
1>, [], [], [], []
1>ORA-06553: PLS-801: erreur interne [55916]
Really vicious..and still not precompiling !
By the way : Server is 10.2.0.1... and i guess thoses errors are normal since the common parser is not available in this version...
So bye bye option common_parser and i'm back to my orignals errors.

Oracle SQL Developer 1.2 – Automatic - is compatible with Oracle 11g?

Oracle SQL Developer 1.2 – Automatic - is compatible with Oracle 11g?
Thanks in advance!
-Babu

So I'm taking it the question is -
Is 1.2 Sql Developer compatible with 11g DB?
The short answer is Yes. We are constantly adding new functionality and better support for the newer Databases. For Example to use the real time Sql monitoring that became available in 11g you will have to be on at least 2.1 Sql Dev. Is there some reason you don't want to upgrade to the latest Sql Dev? If not the current EA version then at least the current production version?
Thanks,

Oracle Tuxedo 8.1 With Oracle 11g Database

Hi,
I have an old application that must be compiled with oracle 8.1 and Oracle9i Database.
We are migrating to Oracle 11g Database, and now we have some inssues to compile with Oracle 11g Database. For example some Libraries that the Tuxedo XA Resource Manager needs from the Oracle Database, that just u can found on older versions like Oracle9i (kpudfo.o file).
what can be the solution for that problem?
An Oracle 11g database config or a Tuxedo config ?

Hi,
When you say "Tuxedo XA Resource Manager" I'm not sure what you are referring to. Do you mean the Tuxedo transaction management servers (TMS) servers that are built with the buildtms command? If so, if there are linking errors, it has to do with either your library paths or the RM definition for Oracle Database in the $TUXDIR/udataobj/RM file. Tuxedo itself only uses the XA switch from the resource manager such as Oracle database. Now the resource manager may require a bunch of libraries, which is why I suggested you check your library path. If the above doesn't help, can you post the error you are getting and what is generating/creating the error?

Using PL/PDF with Oracle XE

Hi, I'm looking for a paper reporting solution to use with my HTMLDB apps. PL/PDF sounds like it will do the job, but has anyone successfully integrated it with Oracle XE?

pl/pdf uses java:
- compressing page (plpdf_comp package): we issue a modified package for XE (without compress) see http://plpdf.com/dokumentumok/plpdf_comp_xe.sql.txt with some restrictions
- image (Oracle Intermedia): it's a option plpdf can work without Intermedia
You can try plpdf with XE.

Is practising on Oracle OLAP features free with Oracle 11g EE?

Hi,
Is practising on Oracle OLAP features free with Oracle 11g EE??
Information found in Internet:
- Oracle Corporation markets the Oracle Database OLAP Option as an extra-cost option to supplement the "Enterprise Edition" of its database.
- Oracle Database OLAP is there pre-installed along with the rest of Oracle Database EE. You just need to license it for use on the DB Machine when you choose to use it.
- Oracle OLAP is a world class multidimensional analytic engine embedded in Oracle Database 11g.
Please confirm if I can try some OLAP features in my office where I have Oracle 11g EE installed as I have been asked to do an initial POC?
Regards,
Sudhir

Hi there,
I believe that the OLAP license falls under the developer license on OTN - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/testcontent/standard-license-088383.html
You should contact your local Oracle sales rep if you are still unsure

Sending email from apex 4.0 with oracle 11g ee

Hi,
I the past when working with apex 3 I was able to work with apex mailsend very nice.
In apex 4.0 with oracle 11g ee I'm not able to send emails anymore.
Last error message in the queue is:
ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 550 through this server without authentication.
the smtp server has not been changed, the code is fine
How I can go further?
Many thanks,
Florin

This is a different subject:
Apex Reports and links to external content
What you are asking should be possible.
Risk: everyone who uses the link needs to have the same drive mapping if you are using letters on a Windows PC. As long as that is not a usability issue, you are fine.
I would recommend you review the LINK syntax in the report column.
Your text seems like you have already attempted this.
>
Click Here , i.e. href="file:///E:/Echo Destination/1212040003.docx"
. . . . . . . from XYZ
Here I am unable to open this document via click on this column link on report............
Thanks..To confirm the link syntax you want first, Write a simple HTML file with the link to make sure you have the correct quoting and the link content is correct.
What does the REPORT resulting HTML look like when you examine it on the page?
I would expect something like:
<a href=file:///E:/Echo Destination/1212040003.docx> go to file </a>If the result is different, then we can discuss why it isn't what you are expecting.

Problem with Oracle 11g(32 bit) installation on windows 7 ultimate edition

Hello all,
I have a problem with Oracle 11g(32 bit) installation on windows 7 ultimate edition (32 bit).
I have successfully installed it immediately after OS installation. But today, i have decided to deinstall it and go for Oracle 10g version for 32 bit.
Everything went normal during installation, but i can see the services is not present in services.msc. Also its throwing some exception for dbca, netca
Now i tried to deinstall it and again go for 11g. But even the same story here..
Can anybody give me a solution for this..
-Regards

ur problem is that u install latest version and now u trying to installing old version.
now u need to uninstall 10g and delete oracle from services, if the probleme presist then u should
install fresh windows 7.

SaqibNo need to install a fresh OS. That's like tearing your house down just because you wired a lamp wrong and blew a circuit breaker.
There are MeaLink notes on how to eradicate an Oracle install from Windows, but it boils down to this:
Stop all Oracle services
In the registery:
- Delete all oracle services from the register (HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet
- Delete the entire Oralce folder from HKLM\Software
reboot
Delete the ORACLE_HOME directory and any other Oracle related directories/files. Offhand, it seems like there is an Oracle directory under Program Files.

Primavera CM compatibility with Oracle 11g Express Edition

We are trying to install Primavera CM 13.1 application (on windows 7 32 bit) with oracle 11g express edition (on CentOS 5.4 64 bit). Installation is completed without any warning but while trying to log on in the system with expadmin, it shows Internal Server Error. Through dbconfigcm utility we can connect the database but while running the CMAdminConfig utility, it throws java exception in command line "Unable to parse XML String" with java pop-up warning node has no children.
Is it due to compatibility issue of Primavera CM 13.0/ 13.1 with oracle 11g express edition or something we are missing?
Regards,
Sandip

Thanks Jim for the quick response. From the link, I understand that TT integration will be available with an extra cost. I presume it is only with EE and not XE, correct? Technically, there is no TT support with XE, Is that a fair statement?
Thanks
