Basic query - check oracle server install type

How do I check if the Oracle 10g is configured as GENERAL_PURPOSE or TRANSACTION_PROCESSING or DATAWAREHOUSE?
I searched the forums but did not find anything specific for this info. This is an existing installation, I cant find the the installation log which will have this type of information. I am wondering if there are any parameters which can be looked at to determine the type or Oracle Configuration. Any tips - thanks.

Choosing one of those templates will select certain SGA parameters to have different values that are 'best guess' optimized for particular database usage. But even those are just starting points and -- like I said -- best guesses.
What business problem are you trying to solve. Assuming your question had the kind of answer you anticipated when posting this, what decision is riding on the outcome?

How to check oracle properly installed or not?

Hello Friends,
How to check oracle properly installed or not. cause during installation time the person who installed faced many problems. we have RISK base IBM p5 Series server and Oracle 10g RAC.
i want to check installation made properly or not.
Thanks,
Nikunj Patel

Installation for RAC environments means you are not only talking about one single installation, but several installations, and the number of installations and checking processes depend on factors such as the clusterware you are using, if you are using the Oracle clusterware or the proprietary clusterware, if you are using a separate oracle home to install the ASM or if you are using the same oracle home for both, the ASM and the RDBMS.
First you must ensure you have installed all prerequisites according to your platform, i.e. patches, packages, kernel parameters, etc. which are listed at the install guide corresponding to your platform. Then you should use the cluvfy (cluster verifier tool) to check if the different install phases are properly installed
The most critical and most of the times, problematic installation phase is the clusterware. So you should specify if you installed the Oracle clusterware or the proprietary clusterware. In a RAC environment if your clusterware is not properly installed, most probably you won't have a running RAC, so if your environment is functional there you may have high probabilities that it is OK, but to make sure, launch the cluvfy tool.
The cluvfy tool verifies the process since the beginning and it ensures your environment meets the required minimum requirements to be at an operational level, it checks the pre/post install phases for the clusterware, pre/post install of the rdbms, and it is launched from the OS. It can be obtained as a standalone product or you can use the one found at the clusterware Oracle Home. For further references on this tool I suggest you to read this

Basic query in Oracle Spatial

I'm trying to learn Oracle Spatial working with 11g R2 and with 3D georeferenced data (specifically data describing buildings in a city).
But I'm having trouble getting a basic query to work on my dataset (it works for the book example), and I'm trying to do it exactly the way it's done in the Spatial Developer's Guide for 11g.
To learn how spatial queries work, I set up the cola_markets tables used in the book, made the appropriate manual entry in the user_sdo_geom_metadata view and created the index. Having done that, I can run the following simple query (as well as the others in the manual) on the book tables:
SELECT SDO_GEOM.SDO_DISTANCE(c_b.shape, c_d.shape, 0.005)
FROM cola_markets c_b, cola_markets c_d
WHERE c_b.name = 'cola_b' AND c_d.name = 'cola_d';
but when I try to do the same thing on my own tables (created from citygml data), I get an error. There is the difference that the data is 3D, and the index was created without any PARAMETERS ( ... ), hence is just 2D. But still I don't get why the following query doesn't work:
SELECT SDO_GEOM.SDO_DISTANCE(c_w.envelope, c_b.envelope, 0.0005)
FROM cityobject c_w,
     cityobject c_b
WHERE c_w.id = 50025
     AND c_b.id = 50018;
The id's for the buildings are valid, and I used the same tolerance used by the software that set up the database.
Here's the error I get in SQL developer:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.lang.Exception: 54535
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_3GL", line 637
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_GEOM", line 1973
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_GEOM", line 1990
29532. 00000 - "Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: %s"
*Cause: A Java exception or error was signaled and could not be
     resolved by the Java code.
*Action: Modify Java code, if this behavior is not intended.
So, thinking it might have something to do with the fact that it's a Java interface, I also tried running it from SQL/PL command line and get essentially the same thing:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception:
java.lang.Exception: 54535
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_3GL", line 637
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_GEOM", line 1973
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_GEOM", line 1990
Any ideas why this isn't working?
(P.S.: I couldn't find a specific board for Oracle Spatial, hence put this question here--if there's a better place for this question, then, admins, of course, feel free to move the thread to the appropriate spot)

Access oracle server installed on linux from client on winxp

Hi
I am new to this forum and oracle on linux too. I am trying to install Oracle 10gr2 on fedora 8. If I installed oracle on fedora 8, can I log onto oracle from windows xp so that i can practice sql, if so how can I do that
please help me.

Hi,
Please download the Oracle Database 10g Client for Windows at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10201winsoft.html
Then please install the client and configure it, after that, you can use sqlplus to connect the DB on Linux. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15662/toc.htm for details.
Also, you can use ssh or telnet to connect to the linux from windows, and run the sqlplus command on the linux server directly.

Basic question - Problems with basic query - Mask = INSIDE

Greetings,
I'm doing a basic query on Oracle 10g Spatial, is to determine the intersection between two layers (one point called "Calidad1") and other polygons, called "Parishes")
For issuing the following query based on the documentation of oracle:
"select C1.ID, C1.SECUENCIA,
P. COD_ENTIDAD, P. STATE
Cod_county P., P. TOWNSHIP,
P. COD_PARROQUIA, P. PARISH
from CALIDAD1 c1,
PARISHES p
where sdo_relate (c1.geoloc, p.geoloc, 'mask = INSIDE querytype = WINDOW') = 'TRUE'
order by C1.ID;
When I run the query, no errors but extends too long (more than 10 minutes) and no end, I have to cancel.
Canceling shows me the following error:
"ORA-13268: error obtaining dimension from USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.MD", line 1723
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.MDERR", line 8
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_3GL", line 89 "
This query is very basic and the data volume is small, a conclusion: I must be skipping a step or activity.
Can you guide a little to resolve this situation and get the query that I need?
Thanks to all

First, try this query with the ordered hint and also note the change in the FROM clause.
select /*+ ordered */ C1.ID, C1.SECUENCIA,
P. COD_ENTIDAD, P. STATE
Cod_county P., P. TOWNSHIP,
P. COD_PARROQUIA, P. PARISH
from PARISHES p,
CALIDAD1 c1,
where sdo_relate (c1.geoloc, p.geoloc, 'mask = INSIDE querytype = WINDOW') = 'TRUE'
order by C1.ID;
See if this is using the index as expected. If not try this:
select /*+ ordered index(p name_of_the_spatial_index_on_the_PARISH_Table) */
C1.ID, C1.SECUENCIA,
P. COD_ENTIDAD, P. STATE
Cod_county P., P. TOWNSHIP,
P. COD_PARROQUIA, P. PARISH
from PARISHES p,
CALIDAD1 c1,
where sdo_relate (c1.geoloc, p.geoloc, 'mask = INSIDE querytype = WINDOW') = 'TRUE'
order by C1.ID;

PlusEqual Oracle syntax with Oracle Server

Hello,
   I want to know which setting I must change so my SQL statement are PLUSEQUAL syntax instead of the OJSyntax with Crystal Report 2008 when using Oracle Server connection type.
   I have tried to change the value of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Database\QueryBuilder\JoinBuilder\OracleJoinBuilder with the value OraOCIEI11 or crdb_oracle but it did not work has it used to be with an ODBC connection.
   What value should I change to have PLUSEQUAL syntax?
Thank you.
Charles

Hello,
Anybody can help me on that? Crystal Report SAP people?
If my first post was not clear enough. Here what I want my SQL statement to look like:
SELECT "OBJ_T"."MODL_CD",
              "MODL_T"."NAME1",
              "MODL_T"."NAME2",
FROM    "OWNER"."OBJ_T" "OBJ_T",
              "OWNER"."MODL_T" "MODL_T"
WHERE ("OBJ_T"."MODL_CD" = "MODL_T"."MODL_CD")
Instead of having the Syntax with "INNER JOIN X ON Y" like that:
SELECT "OBJ_T"."MODL_CD",
              "MODL_T"."NAME1",
              "MODL_T"."NAME2",
FROM    "OWNER"."OBJ_T" "OBJ_T"
INNER JOIN "OWNER"."MODL_T" "MODL_T"
ON               "OBJ_T"."MODL_CD" = "MODL_T"."MODL_CD"
I was able to achieve this with an ODBC connection by editing the registry key OracleJoinBuilder but I have not been able to find the correct setting for an Oracle Server connection.
Thank you.

How to find out if Oracle is Installed in server

I apologize for the simple question but no one in here seems to know if our server has Oracle installed or not. I have no experience in Oracle and have root access to the server but dont know the command to check wether Oracle is installed or not! anyone?
I thank you in advance for any help

This is one of those questions that can be a bit difficult to answer, given all the possibilities in the world. Since you said the magic word "root" I will assume you are on unix or at least a posix system.
http://tahiti.oracle.com has installation guides, find the one for your platform and check that. It should give a good foundation of what you want to look for. But some people get creative and some things are decisions by the DBA.
Since oracle may be installed and not running, looking for oracle processes may not tell you if oracle is installed. But a ps|grep ora can often give clues. It is even possible to delete files while oracle is running... (I've seen oracle uninstalled - it keeps running but new users can't log in. This is because rm a file doesn't actually remove a file until everyone is done with it.) Also, check ipcs - shared memory being used by oracle is a clue oracle is installed and/or running, but even that can be misleading with some configurations - sometimes a bungled startup will leave a mess.
Many unix systems have clues in /etc or /var/opt. Look for files with names like oratab and oraenv. Look at your passwd and group files, see if there are users with names like 'oracle' and groups like 'dba'. Look at user .profile, .cshrc, .bashrc, .kshrc files and see if there are references to oracle environment setting. $ORACLE_BASE, $ORACLE_HOME, $ORACLE_SID are often good clues, as well as references to oraenv or similar names. Look at the system startup files and see if there are references to oracle: there could be things like /sbin/rc*/*ora*, /etc/rc.d/*/*ora*, and so forth. Often the rc directories have a link to an init directory, such as a file like /sbin/init.d/oracle. There may be an inventory around somewhere called oraInventory, perhaps under $ORACLE_BASE, and installation log files, check your install guide for names. Also, if you have found $ORACLE_HOME and $ORACLE_SID in an oratab, you might check $ORACLE_BASE/admin/$ORACLE_SID/bdump/alert*log. Be aware that $ORACLE_HOME and the "oracle home directory" probably are not the same.
Older systems that have been clumsily dealt with may have all these things, and yet still not have "oracle installed." Good luck.
For these reasons and more, usually you would want to specify exact platform and oracle versions.
Edit: fixed alert log location

Query handled OK on Oracle server but XSQL Servlet raises OracleXMLSQLException

After dropping and recreating certain object types, and then using ALTER TYPE on an object dependent on those object types, XSQL Servlet raises exception for a query that is handled fine in the Oracle Server itself (ie, in SQL*Plus) as in the following test case:
create or replace type o_object_inner as object( char1 char(1) )
create or replace type n_nested_table as table of o_object_inner
create or replace type o_object_outer as object (nNestedTab n_nested_table)
For above, the following query encounters no problems on Oracle Server or in XSQL servlet:
Select o_object_outer(NULL) as "theOuterObj" from dual
But then if object types are modified as follows:
drop type o_object_inner force
create or replace type o_object_inner as object( char1 char(1) ) --same as above
drop type n_nested_table force
create or replace type n_nested_table as table of o_object_inner --same as above
alter type o_object_outer compile
The above query now encounters no problems in SQL*Plus but generates exception in XSQL servlet as follows:
oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Internal Error: Unable to resolve name
More complex cases generated the above exception and/or the following exception:
oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Internal Error: Invalid ADT attribute
Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated!
Other info:
Oracle Server 8.1.7.3 on HP-UX
XDK 9.2.0.1 (Production) for Java on NT
JDBC/OCI8 drivers for NT (latest for 8.1.7)

Yes,
I changed most of the cursor functions to cast(multiset()). Sometimes i divided a big query into two or three queries (when there was cursor nested in a cursor). It was one day work for me. Don't forget to change the tags with ROW to ITEM in your xsl-stylesheets.

Oracle 10g install on Windows server 2008 R2 ( 6.1 )

Hi All,
I am trying to install Oracle 10g over windows server 2008 R2 (6.1) but it gives error that OS is not supported. I tried to install below version.
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4.0)
Enterprise/Standard Edition for Microsoft Windows Vista x64, Windows Server 2008 x64,
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 x64, Windows 7 x64
But it fails with error that OS version 6.1 is not supported. On download page it is written to get 10.2.0.5 patch from My Oracle support for windows server 2008 R2, I got patch p8202632_10205_MSWIN-x86-64 but it requires a pre-installed oracle home.
So how should I install Oracle 10g as 10.2.0.4 does not get installed and the patch asks for a previous install?
The reason I am installing Oracle 10g is that our Java application is running in production over JDK 1.4 and Oracle 11g does not provide JDBC driver for JDK 1.4, is there any JDBC driver for Oracle 11g that can work with JDK 1.4?
Thanks in advance for help.
Best Regards!
Irfan

How can I to connect and execute query from Oracle without to use others products ( DG4MSQL ....etc) ?

Hi,
I say it is 'free' because Dg4ODBC is included in your RDBMS license and you just need to supply a third party ODBC driver.
See this note -

You need to install and configure it in an ORACLE_HOME on a machine somewhere then you can use database links from to connect to it and select from non-Oracle databases.

As I said in my earlier update if SQL*Server is your non-Oracle database then an standalone install on Windows is the best option to be able to use the Microsoft ODBC driver, although there is now a MS ODBC available on Linux x86-64 bit.
Please read through the notes I have referred to because they should have the information you need.
