Can sql*forms version 3 run in oracle 8 or higher database

I support an application developed many years ago with sql forms version 3 - has .inp files for the source code. It is currently running on a 7.3.4 database. My bos has asked why the database cannot be updated to a newer version. It is my understanding theat newer versions of the database do not support the types of triggers used in sql*forms. is this correct?
thanks

all objects documented below are located in C:\...TNS_Admin folder (instant client install path similar to path structure mentioned by EdStevens). The tnsnames.ora and SQLNet.ora1 were copied from Development_Suite\NETWORK\ADMIN.
Here are several key entries from tnsnames.ora :
TOMACC=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=txri-oprdracdb-1-vip.tomkinsbp.com)(PORT=1522))
(CONNECT_DATA=

Here is sqlnet.ora1 (not sure the 1 should be there...but I copied it from Development_Suite as is:

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP, TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)
Here is Listener.Ora - looks totally wrong - likely created when I installed 11g_r2 is my guess
# listener.ora Network Configuration File: C:\Program Files\app\Oracle\tns_Admin\listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
SID_LIST_LISTENER =

Convert sql form 3.0 to oracle form

hi all
if someone know how to convert oracle sql form 3.0 to oracle form
best regards

Hi Samer:
The f45gen executable tha come with forms 4.5 can move your forms to 4.5 and then you can upgrade to forms 6i (or possibly 9i). Unfortunately I am writing this from home and I do not have Forms 4.5 her but I do have it at work. I'll sees if I can get you the correct syntax by tomorrow (if I have time). In the mean time if you have forms 4.5 you can try looking at the help for maybe f45gen or conversion, etc and you may get the syntax. Hope this helps.

Which sql developer version will support oracle 8.1.7

hi
which sql developer version will support oracle 8.1.7 or is it necessary to use plsql developer to connect to database (oracle 8.1.7)

Hi,
SQL Developer version 1.2.1 is able to connect to 8.1.7 with limited functionality (prepared reports and browser for objects could not work)..
Next version (tested with 3.2 64-bit) of SQL developer could be "hacked" to connect to 8.1.7 by simply copy file C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\jdbc\lib\classes12.zip from Oracle client prior 11
into appropriate jdk\jre\lib\ext folder.

Can SQL*Loader be used for Oracle html pages, for e.g Customer, Tasks etc

Hi,
Can SQL*Loader be used for Oracle html pages, for e.g Customer, Tasks etc.
Reason: We have a job that creates leads, tasks in 11i, but r12 is not working as expected, an SR is open with Oracle for a long time and no solution so far. I am thinking of using SQL*loader to populate the data, but these are html pages. Will SQL* Loader work?

Appreciate your inputs.

From Forms Product Management - How many users can my Forms App run??

A question we often receive on the OTN list is how may users can
your Forms application cope with? - To help you plan and
understand how a Forms application scales, we have completed a
new white paper called "Oracle Forms Services Release 6i Capacity
Planning Guide". Please go to
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/6iscalability.pdf.
In this paper we discuss how you can load test your application,
how to design realistic scenarios and documents Oracle's own
scalability testing of Oracle Forms.
This paper is a valuable source of information for those decision
makers who need to deploy performant and scalable Forms
applications.

Can SQL Developer be used for Oracle Support "HTML Output" Diag Scripts ?

Hi All,
Oracle Support has asked me to run a diagnostic script (OTL_Diag.sql for anyone familar with the script) that produces output in HTML format using SQL*Plus to help troubleshoot an OTL problem we are having. Unfortunately I don't have SQL*Plus installed and my company is not on board with me installing it because of the SQL*NET connection required. Instead I have access to SQL Developer 3.1.0.7. While this works fine for most situations I'm having problems generating the required .html output file that Support needs.
I've tried runing the OTL_Diag.sql a couple of ways using SQL Developer. First, I opened the file from SQL Developer and using the Run Script functionality (F5) I executed the code that way. This method did give me an opportunity to input the necessary parms and it did create the 'start' of the HTML file on my (Windows) file system, but the script seemed to abort with a java error that indicated some sort of format error (sorry, I'm not a java person so I can't provide any more info, but I'll be glad to get the exact error message if anyone thinks that will help solve my issue).
My second approach was to open a SQL Window where I typed in @C:\OTL_Diag.sql without quotes. This approach also gave me the opportunity to enter the necessary input parms and it seemed to end normally. It also created the 'start' of the diaganostic output file on my Windows file system, but it 'completed' before any of the 'real' diaganostic output was written to the .html file.
The Metalink note clearly specifies that the OTL_Diag.sql script is to be run with SQL*Plus 10.2 or above so I don't think I can complain too loudly to Oracle about this...but given that I don't have access to this product (and it is useless for me to again ask to install it) I am hoping someone out there has some ideas or insight as to how I can use SQL Developer to execute this diag script in a manner that will produce the required .html output file.
Thanks in advance to anyone taking time to read my post !!
Jeff

As a result, at this point in time my only available tool to run the OTL_Diag.sql script (provided by Oracle Support) is SQL Developer
>
Then you will have to edit the script, break it into pieces, execute each piece manually and save the output to feed into the next piece as required based on what the script is actually doing. Don't post the script or contents as that will likely violate your support agreement.
As I already mentioned the script may be using syntax and/or commands that are simply not supported by sql*developer. One likely area is the script may be producing intermediate output scripts that are then processed by a later portion of the script. If that is the case then my suggestion to execute the pieces manually should work but you will need to do some trial-and-error to see.
Even if you appear to be successful you will still have an issue when you communicate the results of your 'test' to Oracle support and they determine you didn't follow their instructions to use the proper tool.
Sounds like your management is either ignorant or incompetent so I suggest you cover yourself by documentating the instructions from Oracle support and the direct orders you were given to disregard those instructions. No need to discuss that issue further but clearly there are resources available somewhere in the org that has the proper privileges or they wouldn't be able to maintain and support the database. If they want to pay for support they should heed their advice. Nuff said.

Hi,
I think Reports 6i has the option to create character delimited output, which can be used for Excel imports. In Reports 9i the ability to add a mime type that opens Excel directly was added

Can sql profiles be moved from Oracle SE/SEO to XE

Hi all.
I use both: 10g XE, 11g XE as well as SE and SEO.
I'd like to know if i can export / import or move sql profiles from SE / SEO to Oracle XE.
Thanks in advance!!!

Profiles? Need a bit more info on what you're after.
For sqlplus the $ORACLE_HOME/admin/glogin.sql file gets executed every time one starts sqlplus or does a connect. Or its %ORACLE_HOME% on windows hosts.
For export and import (also see the 11gR2 Utilities doc Overview of Oracle Data Pump ) but generally the tables, the data, stored procedures, functions, etc. will be compatible, the main caveat will be source and target RDBMS versions, features added (or absent) from one or the other. The first two digits, possibly all four digits of the release version number are relevant.
And the XE space limit has to apply, as well as the absence of some features not included in the engine see the XE license page Oracle® Database Express Edition it has details on what is/is not present.

SQL Server Version running SSIS Package

I´m trying to run an SSIS 2013 Package in SQL Server 2014 but i keep getting the error "package migration from version 8 to version 6 failed with error".
So i ckecked the vertion in SQL Server 2014 using a T-SQL query:
SELECT @@VERSION
and i got:
"Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3153.0 (X64) Jul 22 2014 15:26:36 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition: Core-based Licensing (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) "
The response for this query should be SQL Server 2014, right?
What should i do to alter this?

I think what you meant was SSIS package created using VS 2013. If yes, it will work only on SSIS 2014 server. What you've there is SQL/SSIS 2012 version as shown by @@VERSION result
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/analysisservices/archive/2014/04/03/sql-server-data-tools-business-intelligence-for-visual-studio-2013-ssdt-bi.aspx
SO you should be using SSIS 2014 if you want to deploy the packages
Otherwise use VS 2010 or 2012 SSIS templates for deploying to 2012 server

Can latest Essbase version connect to Oracle data sources directly?

Hi
As you know in Essbase 9.3.1, you only can connect to any relational database via an ODBC data source and Essabse cannot talk to relational databases directly. Can Essbase 11.1.1 can talk to Oracle database directly or via OCI?
Chandra

Essbase Studio in 11X add jdbc connections, but there is still no "direct" connection. I'm not sure if I would want one. It would imply that Essbase is now tied directly to Oracle databases and we could lose the flexability to connect to other sources.

Connect Forms 6i application to Oracle 10g Lite database on notebook

We are currently looking at mobilising one of our legacy systems. This application uses forms 6i. I have build the Olite Mobile Server and installed the olite database on a notebook. We have sucessfully synchonised from a 9i database to the Olite database on the notebook and have been able to validate the snapshot using msql
when we try to connect to the olite database on the notebook using developer we get the following
POL-5150 Access violation - Program attempted to access a database system table
has anyone sucessfully connected forms 6i to an olite 10g database or know of someone who has.
Thanks
Sean

I believe Oracle Lite is a non-SQLNET database and Forms can only connect via SQL*Net. If I am wrong and Oracle Lite can use SQL*Net I suggest you call Oracle Support and ask them to analyze your situation.

Can SQL Server 2012 witness monitor a 2008 R2 database.

Hi
I was wondering if it was possible for a sqlserver 201witness to monitor databases running sqlserver 2008R2. I am also curious to know about the vice versa possiblity.
Thanks

The two partners, that is the principal server and mirror server, must be running the same edition of SQL Server. The witness, if any, can run on any edition of SQL Server that supports database
mirroring.
