CF8 Standard and Oracle

I recently had a server die that was running an old old cf4.5
enterprise with oracle. I just purchased the coldfusion 8 standard
(no $ for enterprise right now) and I need to connect to the oracle
database. Is there any instructions on doing this?
please help

I do not remember of the class file is all you need? I know
when I
needed the JDBC Thin Client, I always just got it from the
download
section of Oracle's website [
http://download.oracle.com/
(free sign-up
required to get in) and|or the installation media from our
Oracle databases.

ColdFusion MX7 Standard and Oracle

I was reading the description for MX7 standard and comparing
it with enterprise.
Standard said the following:
Database connectivity using ODBC with a desktop
database, such as Microsoft Access, and using a Type 4
driver for SQL Server or MySQL.
Enterprise:
Includes every feature in the Standard Edition, and also
provides the following:
• Database connectivity using Type 4 drivers for
Oracle,
DB2, Sybase, and Informix
Does that mean that standard can't connect to Oracle or it
just doesn't include the drivers?
Has anybody had issues with MX7 standard and Oracle compared
with enterprise? Is there a difference?

Standard just doesn't include the drivers. If you have an
Oracle JDBC
driver from another source you can use that driver to connect
to Oracle
just fine.

Difference btw cf8 standard and enterprise

hi,
i've downloaded the pdf from adobe website stating the
difference btw standard and enterprise edition. But i'm quite
puzzled on this:
Enterprise feature that runs through the Enterprise Feature
Router (EFR). These features will run in the Standard
Edition. However, all features running through the EFR will
be limited to one shared simultaneous request.
What is EFR? And does it mean that for standard edition, all
the tags fucntion remains the same except that it only allow 1
request of such tag at 1 time?

"What is EFR? And does it mean that for standard edition, all
the tags
fucntion remains the same except that it only allow 1 request
of such
tag at 1 time?"
For the effected functionality. This does not apply to all
Standard
Functions, just new Standard Functions that previously where
Enterprise
only such as gateways. Standard not has gateways, but only
one at a
time. I believe the same applies to some of the advanced PDF
functionality and similar features.

Differences between standard and enterprise ??

Hello everyone,
Where could i find an exhaustive list of all the differences between Oracle 9i standard and Oracle 9i enterprise. Recently, i wanted to use a function based index but it is forbidden in Oracle 9i standard... Are there a lot of other "surprises" like this one ?

This http://otn.oracle.com/products/oracle9i/pdf/o9i_family_features.pdf is a reasonably exhaustive list of the feature differences between Enterprise and Standard. I believe it is complete, but can't guarantee it.

Implementation of Oracle Coding Standards and Code Quality Checks

I wanted to implement a list of coding standards and code quality checks for my oracle packages,functions,views,tableetc .
for example
All variables with number datatype should start with N_ and charcter type with C_ in all my tables & views definition.
This can be identified during peer review & can be corrected, but i think this is a repeated process which i don want to burden the developers rather i wanted a tool which does all these kind of checks which can be automated.
Is there any tool which does this operation or can someone give me a little idea how can i automate these stuffs bu creating a generic oracle procedure which can run through all the tables,views and generate a error report for those which are deviating from the standards.
Thus we can reduce the manual effort spent on peer review, please suggest.
thanks in advance

+"Encoding the type of a function into the name (so-called Hungarian notation) is brain damaged—the compiler knows the types anyway and can check those, and it only confuses the programmer."+
Linus Torvalds
+"No I don't recommend 'Hungarian'. I regard 'Hungarian' (embedding an abbreviated version of a type in a variable name) a technique that can be useful in untyped languages, but is completely unsuitable for a language that supports generic programming and object-oriented programming—both of which emphasize selection of operations based on the type an arguments (known to the language or to the run-time support). In this case, 'building the type of an object into names' simply complicates and minimizes abstraction."+
Bjarne Stroustrup
2) Conditional Statements
IF (x = 1) --> Wrong
IF ((x = 1) AND (y = 2)) --> wrong
IF x = 1 AND y = 2 --> RightIdiotic rules. The simple rule should be readability of code. Not how many brackets to use, and when not to use brackets. Minute standards like detracts from designing and writing proper code, fast and efficiently.
There are many more rules (which is specific to ur application) which can be incorporated in the tool, there by giving consistency ,readability and easy to maintain for the developers.Bull. The more rules there are, the more difficult it becomes for programmers to write code. As it is no longer about writing readable and flexible and performing code - it is about double checking every single statement line against a huge list of rules about do's and dont's. It is not about getting the programmer focusing on solving the problem - it is about distracting the programmer with a complex and large rule list of how the code should look like.
Sorry - but this rubs me the wrong way. In that environment, I would be the first to tell you to shove your "+many more rules+".
I've developed systems in over a dozen languages over the years. I've seen all kinds of standards. The standards that work are those that are short, simple and sensible. Hungarian notation is not sensible. Writing reserved words in uppercase is not sensible. Dictating how brackets should be used is not sensible.
What is sensible is using the de facto naming standards in use today - as per .Net Guidelines for Names (MSDN) and Code Conventions for the Java Programming Language.
What is sensible is providing guidelines like bulk collection needs to be justified (not possible using SQL only) and use the limit clause to manage memory spend on the collection variable. Or how packages need to be used to modularise code, providing a public interface and private implementation.
Standards are about creating a sensible and easy-to-use framework for writing code. It is not about creating a list of a 1001 rules that a developer needs to remember and adhere to, as if the developer is now part of some weird religious sect that has rules for every single aspect of human behaviour.

Crystal Report and Oracle SDO_GEOMETRY

Hi,
 
 
I'm using Crystal Reports for Eclipse version 2.0.4.r825 with Eclipse 3.5 and Oracle 11g as database. I configured the database connection using ojdbc14.jar. Some of the tables i want to use in the report contains columns using the SDO_GEOMETRY data type and if i try to drag this table in the data tab of the report i get the following "Unexpected ValueType" error:

I tried the same with the Crystal Reports 2008 trial version and i'm having the same problem.
 
 
I don't wanna use the geometry column in my report but because of this error i can't use the whole table. Is there a way to avoid this error and still use the other columns of the table. Or maybe there is another way to connect to an Oracle database which can handle this special data type.
 
 
Thanks in advance,
 
 
Jens Keller

Hi Jens,
Views would work also as you noted.
No, if DB manufacturers change/update their Servers/clients they need to follow ANSII 92 standards. If they don't return the correct data type then CR will not "hack" our drivers to fix their issues. We did that for years and was a code nightmare, when they got around to fixing the problem it broke CR again. We decided to follow the standards, it may be our issue sometimes but in this case unique data types typically are not supported by CR. If you want support and it's not a client issue then add your request to the Enhancement Request2 post.
So yes in your case it would make it easier but for others they'll be asking why CR doesn't show all fields. Same reason.... not a CR issue.
Thanks agian

Differences in NLS_LANGWE8ISO8859 between Oracle 8i and Oracle 9i or higher

Are there any differences in NLS_LANG WE8ISO8859P1between Oracle 8i and Oracle 9i or higher?
please, there is a document that explains what.
thank you very much.

Ok,
I want to know whether there was any difference when using this NLS_LANG between 8 and oracle 9.
I read many documet about unicode, but i want to know this question.
If NLS_LANG is a standard there isn´t changes between the to versions.

Enterprise vs Standard : technical view
If you install Enterprise you must:
- install Enterprise whith all the modules
- apply the patch 8.1.5.0.1
(if all the modules weren't installed, the patch fails because
he tries to relink non installed products)
If you install Stardard you must:
- install Standard
- no patch required !
Enterprise vs Standard : package
Standard is good enougth for a lot of purposes. It includes
TextRetrival, Java inside the database, etc.
With Enterprise, you can by additional products like Spatial
data, Time Series, etc.
Hope this helps,

PDF PRINTING using Apache FOP and Oracle Containers for J2EE

Hi,
I am having major confusion about the pdf printing in Oracle XE and Apex 3.1.2.00.02
It clearly states that this is an available option on the Oracle website.
According to Apex there are two options for printing report regions.
Standard - which is free
Advanced - which uses BI and requires a licence
Standard requires me to have Apache FOP (which is provided by Oracle in the Apex release) and Oracle Containers for J2EE (OC4J)
Where my understanding of all this falls down is the part where I am downloading the Oracle Containers for J2EE and the license agreement states this cannot be used in a production system (only as a protptype). Can anyone clarify this? This is surely a required componenet and for the standard report printing which is supposed to be free.
My problem is that I need to have a database system on a laptop that will go off site for a number of weeks. We need report printing options.
Can anyone help with this. im desperate.
Kind regards
colin mclay

no not yet with Application Server.
I have tried to compare the settings to another installation with a separeted oc4j as described in the howto. But at the moment i found no mistakes.
If i call the url adresse like:
http://localhost:18101/fop/apex_fop.jsp
i get:
500 Internal Server Error
Servlet error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: fop.apex__fop
I installed it another time with these settings:
Web Anwendung= .../fop.war (selected war file from apex install directory)
Anwendungsname= fop
URL zuordnen= /fop
I would like to know if its possible to use the fop.war out of apex install directory with the Application server? In the standalone version (as described in howto) it works. But if you install it there you don't need to define an URL.
Is the URL /fop correct or what do i have to insert there?

Install cf8 standard edition with remote apache?

I am interested in installing cf8 standard edition on a stand
alone server on a windows (win2003 standard 64 bit) box. An Apache
web server (centOS 5) and a mysql will be another two separate
servers.
So, I am wondering if this infrastructure is OK? I never
tried them like this. I'd appreciate if anybody may share practical
experience. Thanks.

Have you had any luck with this? I'm pursuing a similar
configuration. It should be pretty straight forward since this is a
pretty normal set up, but the doc is limited.
It doesn't help that the connector for Apache seems to be
buried in the Linux install, which doesn't help when CF server was
installed on a Windows box. Am I missing something?

CF8 Standard w/Apache Guidelines?

Web Server: Apache 2.2
CPU(s): Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU, 5160 @ 3.00GHz, 2 core
Memory: 4G
Operating System: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (i586), VERSION = 10, PATCHLEVEL = 2
Application Server: Cold Fusion 8 Standard
Database Server: postgresql CPU(s):Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 275,
Memory: 2G
Operating System: SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (x86_64), VERSION = 9, PATCHLEVEL = 3
Database Version:8.3.5
For 99% percent of the time we have a pretty light load with 1500 hits a day mostly info pieces and some light e-commerce to register for classes. On registration days we get annihilated jumping from 100 connections to 800 right when we open.
We have used jmeter to try and gauge exactly what our one server is capable of handling. And I guess we still really do not know. I have noticed that if we sustain anything over 700 apache connects JRUN will throw errors. This seems to be by a design limit and happens automatically regardless of the pages involved. We have used seefusion to make sure none of our pages are hanging the server. Nothing is excessive though very little bit helps.
Can anyone suggest some general guidelines as to how many apache connections we should allow and what cf8 standard should be able to handle. The registration process is db intensive requiring many calls per page to maintain session etc. We have to do this to maintain compatibility with our internal system.
I believe we are hoping to be able to accomodate 1,000 users at peak. Is this something we can do with cf 8 standard on a single box?

Is it possible to accommodate 1,000 users with ColdFusion 8 standard? Yes it is possible, if the application is developed with this load in mind. Will CF8 magically accommodate 1,000 users no matter what, NO! No application server could.
Unfortunately there is no general answer, because EVERY application and server is different. Why do yo have to have so many database calls? What can you do to unload that to the database with procedures and packages? What can you do to cache content? What can be streamlined? What can be trimmed? What can be reused?
None of those answers are magic or automatic! The system and application have to be looked at systematically and anaylized and tuned.

Differences between TOAD for Oracle and Oracle SQL Developer?

Does someone know the advantages and disadvantages of using TOAD for Oracle and Oracle SQL Developer?
I work making reports with TOAD, but in a few days I will have to use the SQL Developer (because it´s free) unless I justify the necessity of using TOAD.
Could some that used both compare them?
Thanks,
Facundo.

Hello Facundo,
since we are rolling out new client PCs we switch from Toad to SQL Developer. Therefore I'm doing some training for the "normal" users and our developers.
Most users simply want to have access to the data in tables and views. For those there are 2 main issues:
- Filters get lost when exiting table while sorting is still applied. Since there is no way to apply filtering before entering the data tab this can become a great performance issue because sorting is applied to many many rows. For views it is sometimes impossible to open the data tab.
- Exporting date values to Excel needs some know how if you want to sort by this column in Excel, because the date is formatted as "Standard" meaning that the sorting is done as for a text column: 01.01.2009 is less than 02.01.2008. Here you have to use a workaround column with a formula (=1*<datecolumn>)
The greatest Pro is the easy sharing of connections and reports by XML files.
Our developers like the easy debugging in SQL Developer. Though they miss the feature that the source is compiled for debug automatically as in Toad. For this we have distributed a script that compiles any PL/SQL object for debugging.
There are only some Toads installed for DBAs and for users that need access to tables protected by policies that require authentification by OS user since this information is not passed under every circumstance.
Regards
Marcus

SQL and Oracle in synchronization

I have to synchronize for about 2 months one Oracle 9.i database and one SQL server 2000, Standard edition database, both running on Win 2K Server. Every change made on either of the databases (the best is there are only 4-5 tables reflected) has to be provided on the other side almost in real time. I choused to use SQL server as a way to do it. For Oracle I have only the ODBC connectivity (supplied for free) and I did have a lot of problems in ORA 8.1.6... Needless to say, there's no money for third party products or even new ORA transfer utility, as the 2-month are not sufficient time.
I did set up linked servers between SQL server and Oracle and trying to make some triggers working for me, but is this the best way to do it? May be somebody has better experience...
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
MJ

Do you really like to implement a two way replication between M$ SQL and Oracle?
Maybe you can try this using the heterogenous gateway and Oracle Advanced replication. Don't know if this could work our test environment would be ready but actually there's no time to try.
Will keep you informed if I know more.
In this way you don't need any third party sw and I think it could work, but never have tried it out.
Could be an interesing challenge ;-)

NDS and Oracle versions/editions

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the differences are
between Personal Oracle 8i, Oracle 8i Standard and Enterprise
Edition. I was wondering, also, if it is possible to use NDS,
DBMS_SQL (Method 4), etc. with Personal Oracle 8i. Also, is
there any place (on-line) where I could check (like a summary of
features) on 8i and 9i editions?
Thanks in advance.

Slow Problems with Oracle Forms 10g and Oracle Database 11g

Hi, I wonder if there is a compatibility problem between Version 10.1.2.0.2 32 Oracle Forms and Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production. This is because my application runs correctly on a version of Oracle Database 10g, and when we migrated the database to an Oracle Database 11g, slowness problems came out.
Thanks.

We have the same issue happening with our custom forms and with some of the standard forms in EBSO. So far we have found that the form invoking a view causes ridiculous slowness in opening the form (40 mins). Using a table access has shortened the open time significantly. At this time Oracle DBAs at OOD have no clear idea why it is happening.
we are on 11.1 database with 11.5 EBSO
