Choosing oracle for linux ! what are merits and demerits

we are going to choose oracle for linux for our e-commerce site which will serve as search engin and shopping mall.

Thanks cgawoods for the advice...
I followed all the steps that you mentioned... Installing the Oracle client proved to be easy as pie on the Linux server, and connecting to the Oracle instance on the NT server was instantaneous with sqlplus... tnsping also finds the Oracle server without a hitch.
I also made the modifications to the coldfusion start script you mentioned, i.e. setting ORACLE_HOME, etc (which is also mentioned in Allaire's docs).
However.... (yes, here it comes) The DSN still comes up as 'failed' when I try to add a new one using the native drivers in the Coldfusion Administrator.
Do I need to do anything on the Oracle server side (NT) first in order to get things working?
I'm pretty stumped at this point as to why this won't work.
Thanks
DH

I've done Cold Fusion installs on Solaris 2.6, and am an OCP DBA. If you download the Oracle 8.0.5 EE (RedHat 5.2) or Oracle8i EE(Redhat 6.0-6.2) Server programs, you may use the "Server" installation as an Oracle Client. Once you get Oracle installed, you will need to configure the tnsnames.ora file to point to your remote database. Then, you will need to point Cold Fusion to the $ORACLE_HOME where you installed the Oracle Server software. You will want (and probably need) to use the "native" oracle driver for Cold Fusion instead of the ODBC driver. Once the Oracle installation is complete, and you can "tnsping" the Oracle instance on NT, you should be able to configure Cold Fusion to talk to your Oracle database. It's just a matter of reading Allaire's documentation on configuring Cold Fusion for use with Oracle at that point.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

  • What are advantage and disadvantage for Physical Standy and Logical Standby

    HI,
    What are advantage and disadvantage for Physical Standy and Logical Standby configuration?
    Thanks
    Ken

    Logical standby database
    The key advantage for logical standby databases is that they're opened read/write, even while they're in
    applied mode. That is, they can be used to generate reports and the like. It is indeed a fully functional
    database. Also, additional indexes, materialized views and so on can be created.
    However (this being a disadvantage) not all datatypes are supported.
    Oracle (or more exactly the log apply services) uses the primary database's redo log, transforms them into
    SQL statements and replays them on the logical standby database.
    Physical standby database
    A physical standby database is a byte for byte exact copy of the primary database. This also means that
    rowids stay the same in a physical standby database environment.
    Oracle (or more exactly the log apply services) uses the primary database's redo log to recover the
    physical database.
    A physical standby database might be opened read only; however, the received logs are in this case not
    applied. When the logs are applied, the database is not accessible (it is then in a managed recovery state).

    How can I found out what are verical and horizontal refresh rates for my display?

    Hi
    Do you mean the vertical and horizontal display resolution???
    Anyway all informations should be listed in the user manual.
    I dont know exactly what appendix is it but it must be placed somewhere at the end of the user manual.
    Such infos are listed also in my user manual which was delivered and preinstalled on my Satellite notebook.

  • What are these and what are they useful for?: and

    I have seen these symbols being used in Java: << and >>, what are they and what do they do?
    Thank you.

    As DrQuincy asks how is this of use over multiplying
    and dividing?In your processor there are often different instructions for shifting, multiplying, and deleteing. Typically the shifting instructions take less time to execute and so using the shifting operator will be faster than multiplying. This assumes the compiler doesn't recognize the situation and optimize it out though.
    The >>,<<,>>>, &,|,and ^ operators are mainly useful when you need to deal with individual bits of data. For instance if you are talking to another system (thats not java) that uses a different method of storing numbers (little endian/big endian etc.), or doing something such as creating parity data for error correction. There are lots of things to do, but most a low level and its rare when you need to use them.

  • What are SCMRWBS and SCMEMWCL for ?

    Hello all,
    I'm now filling the installation parameter sheet of SCM(APO) system.
    This sheet has two paraemters whose content I'm not sure of.
    That is, software units SCMRWBS and SCMEMWCL.
    What are SCMRWBS and SCMEMWCL for ?
    Do we need to install them while my project will use PP/DS and BP modules ?
    And can we see whether these usage types installed or not via SAPGUI ?
    I beg your help !
    Thank you for your cooperation in advance.
    Regards,

    Hi Hideki,
    SCMRWBS is for SCM Replenishment Workbench. If you are using F&R modules of mySAP SCM suite, then this component is neccessary.
    Smilarly, SCMEMWCL is SCM Web Communication Layer for Event Management. Again this is part of mySAP SCM, but belongs to Event Management module.
    As far as PP/DS is concerned these two components are not neccessary. However, these components may have some dependencies on other applications / modules. Please check with SAP for any specific inputs if you have any concern over installing them onto your system.
    Thanks,
    Rajesh

  • What are strengths and weaknesses of the sap.m.Shell and sap.m.App as container for an application wrapper?

    My question today: What are strengths and weaknesses of the
    sap.m.Shell
    and
    sap.m.App
    as container for an application wrapper?
    I currently use non of them, but I see the advantages.
    SAP best practise is to use one of them or nest them as shell > app. What are strengths and weaknesses of the approaches?

    We prefer to say, the tender mercies of the Fetch block.
    You'll notice the "wfm info" cluster as an output of the Fetch
    VI.  This cluster has gain and offset members- use these to scale
    your binary data to floating point voltage representation.
    As you point out, the numbers won't be exactly what you expect given
    the vertical range and the device resolution.  There are a few
    reasons for this.  First, we don't use the absolute full scale of
    the ADC for the maximum input voltage.  There are a couple of
    codes of headroom at the top and bottom.  This allows your input
    signal to slightly exceed the specified vertical range without clipping
    (you'll get a warning from the driver).  Second, these gain and
    offset numbers take into account calibration information for your
    device.  Using these numbers will correct for small deviations
    from the ideal offset and gain.
    So if you use the gain and offset numbers from the driver, your
    measurements will be more accurate than if you assume 0 offset and
    perfect gain.  They will be most accurate if you make sure to
    perform a self-calibration once the device is in your system and at the
    temperature that your tests will be run.

    I found some little black dots n my iPhone 5 screen. I've only had it for 2 weeks. What are they and will apple replace my iPhone for a new one or fix it?

    They should have one in Stock, but you never know. Call your Apple Store and tell them you have an iPhone 5 color and GB, and that you most likely will need a replacement, do they have any in Stock. If yes, go in, if not ask for advice on how to handle your problem.

  • What are SERIALLY_REUSABLE and RESTRICT_REFERENCES pragmas, when can used?

    Hi everyone,
    I have recently joined in Discussion forums and feeling very excited to read blogs.
    My question is about SERIALLY_REUSABLE and RESTRICT_REFERENCES pragmas.
    what are these pragmas and when can we use them?
    It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can answer this.
    Regards,
    Sachin Jaiswal

    Go to http://tahiti.oracle.com, type in your searchwords, choose the database versions you are using and read the results.
    e.g.
    serially_reusable version 11.2
    restrict_references version 11.2
    Also this is not really related to forms, so for this type of question the SQL and PL/SQL forum might be more apropriate:
    PL/SQL
    but as you can see looking up in the documentation brings you answers to your questions in no time ;)

  • 0.41GB of my iPod Touh 4G' is taken up by something called 'Others'. What are 'Others' and can they be deleted or are they an essential part of the iPod and embedded in it? If not essential how do I go about deleting it to enable me to add other pictures

    0.41GB of my iPod Touch 4G's capacity is taken up by something callked 'Others'. What are 'Others' and will it be o.k to delete them? If so how do I go about doing it as there is no trace of a file on either iTunes or my iPod?

    Other content is typically miscellaneous data used by applications you have installed - could be save data (e.g. for games), or documents you've created. There's no easy way to determine precisely what it is, but the only way to clear it is to either delete it from within the respective application, or remove the associated application altogether - neither of which are typically practical.

  • What are ROWID and ROWNUM? Are they stored in database and where?

    Hi All,
    can anybody please answer this question
    What are ROWID and ROWNUM? Are they stored in database and where?
    Thanks,
    Srini

    ROWID can be thought of as a pointer to the physical location (on disk) of the (table) row.
    From a ROWID value, Oracle can extract the file, block-within-that-file and offset-of-the-row-within-that-block. Using these, Oracle can directly access a disk block to retrieve a row.
    ROWNUM is a just sequence number of a row within a result set of a query.
    As said by other repliers, both are not stored. They are 'constructed' when you reference them inside a query.

  • What are high and low values in sharepoint 2013 user permissions?

    So I hit this api:
    http://win-a3q7ml82p8f/sharepoint_site/_api/web/roledefinitions/
    And got the different high and low values. But I am not clear with what they mean:
    For eg:
    High: 176, Low: 138612833
    and
    High: 176, Low: 138612801
    So for different values of Low how does it change the permissions?
    For 176 its binary is 10110000. So looking at this table here: http://www.dctmcontent.com/sharepoint/Articles/Permissions%20and%20Mask%20Values.aspx
    I can understand that 176 would mean the following set of permissions:
    DeleteVersions
    OpenItems
    ApproveItems
    But what's confusing me is, that user has OpenItems permissions but not ViewListItems permission? Am I wrong in understanding this?
    Also how does the value of Low change the overall user permissions?
    Note: I looked at this answer: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/9d6df168-e8f5-4323-8c34-0646c03eff68/rest-api-what-are-high-and-low-in-effectivebasepermissions-and-getusereffectivepermissions?forum=sharepointdevelopment
