AWR, DBA_HIST_%, advisors etc. in Oracle XE - they work - can I use it?

Can I use all features that work in Oracle XE without buying option license? When I downloaded XE there was license (OTN license) that allow me to do that (by not permitting it), however in "Oracle® Database Licensing Information 11g Release 1 (11.1) - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/license.111/b28287/options.htm#sthref69" (which is probably unimportant science I use XE version) it is written that some options (eq. AWR, advisors etc.) require additional license. License information for Oracle XE aviable in documentation (Oracle® Database Express Edition Licensing Information - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/license.102/b25456/toc.htm) says "The following options and major features are not included with Oracle Database XE:
Oracle Diagnostic Pack
Oracle Tuning Pack
So - my question is - Can I use all features that work in Oracle XE or not (AWR, DBA_HIST_%, Advisors, analyzer etc.) ?

1) You reference docs from 11g. These are totally irrelevant as Express Edition is a 10gR2 release. Unless you purchase a support agreement (not possible with XE) you are ruled by the license agreement at time of download.
2) You are already referring to the correct doc for Express Edition. However, it does not spell out what is included in the Diag and Tuning pack.
3) If you look at the 10gR2 Database License doc (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/toc.htm) you will get details of what is in the various options and packs. If it ain't listed as part of the pack AND it included in the XE without alteration, then you are probably good to go.
I do note that a fair number of the views listed as part of the Diagnostics Pack, as well as the DBMS_WORKLOAD and DBMS_SQLTUNE stuff is apparently in the XE. I'd be careful about using those things to any extent, as the XE doc says 'no diag pack' and the EE doc says 'they are part of diag pack'.
In general, 'just because it's there' is not a valid reason to use a feature - Oracle does reserve the right to audit your use of XE and that explanation might not sit too well with a judge.

    Is the database on the server with the Niagara chipset ? If so, there are known performance issues for this combination. See MOS Doc 781763.1 (Migration from fast single threaded CPU machine to CMT UltraSPARC T1 and T2 results in increased CPU reporting) for details.
    Bottom line, the Niagara chipset is not recommended for database servers - they are fine for application or web servers.

    No one can predict what Apple will say when they see your cord.  Just bring it in.  If found defective it will be replaced on the spot.

  • Integrating Oracle EBS with web services which use SAML authentication

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to invoke web service using PL/SQL from a Custom Form of EBS.
    The web Service is configured to use SAML as authentication mechanism.
    Coming to question!
    1) How do I make my EBS integrate with a SAML provider preferably (Oracle Identity Federation) ?
    2) How do i get the SAML token in my PL/SQL and pass it on to the web service?
    Regards

    We want to implement Oracle Database Vault 11gR2. We are referring to Note: Integrating Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 with Oracle Database Vault 11gR2 [ID 1091083.1].
    Do we need to install Oracle Database 11gR2 (s/w only) again on the Oracle Database Server or can we use the existing Oracle EBS Database 11gR2 Home which is already on 11.2?
    Regards,
    ThiruAs mentioned in the doc "If your E-Business Suite R12 is already integrated with 11gR2 database, you just need to enable Database Vault 11gR2 & register it with the database as per Task 3", so no installation of ORACLE_HOME is required and you just need to "Register Oracle Database Vault".

  • Can't use ";" in sql clause with Oracle 8.X

    Can't use ";" in sql clause with Oracle 8.X
    I can't use ";" at the ending of sql clause in VB program. First this program can use with Oracle 7.3.4 database. But now i need to upgrade DB to Oracle 8.1.7 ,program can't operate. It show error Runtime 40002
    and 37000:ODBC driver for oracle/invalid charactor
    Thankyou

    I've seen a lot of discussion about semicolons in SQL
    sent from 3rd party applications. A web search should
    bring up the discussions.
    Also you might get more response if you ask this question
    somewhere else. This is not a VB forum, so you may
    not reach relevant people.

  • How to use functions(to_char,to_date,trim..etc) in oracle xml table

    Hi I am new to oracle xml.
          In the below scenario how can use the functions like (to_char,To_date,trim..etc) In oracle xmltable."username","password" are inputs to my procedure.
    SELECT *
        INTO l_username,
                  l_password
        FROM xmltable('/InputParameters/ParamSet'
                        passing l_xmldoc
                        COLUMNS
                                l_username  VARCHAR2(28)    path 'username',
                                l_password VARCHAR2(28)     path 'password'
    and please Help how to write above with xmlquery.
    Thanks,

    In the same place you would for any regular SELECT statement
    SELECT TO_CHAR(...),
           TO_NUMBER(...)
      FROM random_table
    WHERE TO_CHAR(...) = col1
       AND TO_NUMBER(...) = col2
    username and password are the results of the SQL statement.  I'm guessing l_xmldoc is the input? There is not need to write something so simple as XQuery so what is your larger goal?  If you provide a clearer example and question, we can help you better.

  • How to turn off those preexisting tables, SPs, etc. in Oracle XE?

    Hi,
    I am new for Oracle XE in SQL Developer?
    How to turn off those preexisting tables, SPs, etc. in Oracle XE based on
    SQL Developer? It is annoying to have so many preexisting tables, SPs, etc there.
    Thanks,

    One solution is to take a screen shot of the photo. That should make it last in line.
    Another solution. Make a new album. Transfer the photos to the new album. Then change the photo order, by tapping select, hold your finger on the photo, move it, tap done.

  • Upgrade to FF .13 lost all my history, bookmarks, etc. Where are they?

    FF upgraded overnight to, I think, .13 level. I've lost all my history--no bookmarks (HUGE problem for me) plus sites I visit regularly are blank, etc.
    Where did they go and are they recoverable?

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Can i Use two qery hints in one SQL(Oracle)?

    Hi,
    Can i Use two Query hints in one SQL(Oracle)? USE_HASH and No_Merge
    Thanks

    user10916886 wrote:
    Can I use like
    /*+ USE_HASH(X,Y) NO_MERGE(X) */
    will this work?Not really: NO_MERGE relates to mergeable views, not base tables. So whilst the USE_HASH may result in a hash join between the tables X and Y, USE_MERGE will be ignored for X.
    As hoek says, however, HINTs should be a last resort only, and if they're to be used at all you're best to stay with those that don't involve explicit objects, like ALL_ROWS, FIRST_ROWS_10, etc.
    user10916886 wrote:
    Im my database, if i don't use query hints. The expalin plan uses Nested loops, hence the query takes a lot of time.You would be better trying the ALL_ROWS hint here, instead of USE_HASH.
    Edit
    The optimizer, however, will have chosen NESTED LOOPs where it did because it believed that to be the most efficient data retrieval path with the information that it had to hand. So, if your statistics are comprehensive and up-to-date, yet the optimizer is continually opting for the less efficient plan, there's something else wrong, and HINTs are only masking that problem in the short-term.

  • Enforcing integrity using oracle specific data base commands .v. using fron

    Full subject : Enforcing integrity using oracle specific data base commands .v. using front end.
    It ought to be generally accepted that it is better to enforce integrity directly in the data base using constraints, dependencies, triggers etc rather than leaving it to specific front end programmes.
    In my view, the chief advantages - of enforcing integrity directly in the data base - are:
    (1) No process can violate the integrity.
    (2) Being server centric, these commands run on the server and so can be easily sized in one place.
    (3) One time data migration (imports) into the system using Oracle tools or SQL commands would also need to conform to the integrity constraints. Thus an implementor would be assured that the basic data is alright.
    I am faced with a situation where we are about to implement a new Oracle based package. During data migration, when we discovered that there are no integrity constraints built into the target data base, the package vendor asserted that it is not necessary to build in integrity into the database. This seems to be an extreme and risky view.
    Further, it is argued by the package vendor that putting constraints directly in the data base would significantly increase the needed resources (RAM) on the server. In my view, this increase is trivial and anyway, hardware costs are crashing day by day.
    In the absence of integrity checks in the data base, it seems to me that every program would have to extra zero value work to ensure integrity of the end user data. It will still never be complete.
    I would like to know the pros and cons of implementing without integrity constraints.
    OK.

    OK.It's a shame you seem to be so far into the process and committed to this vendor. I once had a vendor tell us his product would run on Oracle but they recommended MS SQL Server because "oracle can't handle more than 5 concurrent sessions." I made sure that vendor didn't make the short list.
