Connecting to a database that's not in tnsnames.ora

Hi there,
I'm using Oracle 8.1.6/Apache/PHP & would like to be able to connect to a database that's not listed in the local tnsnames.ora (by local, i mean the machine that's serving the web pages).
Is this possible?
Thanks!

I'm not sure that you can use this in PHP/Apache, but when I used Oracle Enterprise Manager (which isn't ported to Linux so I had to use a different machine (NT/Solaris)) I used the format ipaddress:port:SID (ex.: 192.168.0.5:1521:cddata), where ipaddress is the address of your machine, port is the port number of the listener on the database (defulat is 1521) and SID is the SID of the database you want to access.
I hope this helps.

Error while creating connection pool "FATAL: database "null" does not exist

Hi,
Iam trying to create a XA connection pool using postgres driver (postgresql-8.3-603.jdbc3.jar) on Weblogic 8.1.6.0 from the Admin Console.
I have provided the following info in the JDBC config
Driver Class Name: org.postgresql.xa.PGXADataSource.
JDBC URL: jdbc:postgresql://192.168.192.112:5432/sample1
UserName: postgres
Password: Postgres
When i click Test Driver Configuration. Iam getting the following error
"FATAL: database "null" does not exist"
if i change the Driver Class Name to "org.postgresql.Driver", it is working fine. But as iam trying to create XA datasource i need to use the XA Driver class name.
Can someone tell me how to resolve this issue ?
The postgres version iam using is 8.3.1

Hi Joe,
The driver is in the classpath.

C# error when connecting to ldap server that does not exist

When using Novell.Directory.Ldap.dll and making a connect to an ldap
server which does not exists i'm getting the following error:
Connection.freeWriteSemaphore(-2): semaphore not owned by any thread
Im using this to connect: conn.Connect(ldapHost, ldapPort);
This error is not catched by LdapException. Can anyone tell me if this is
a bug or do I have to do something different.

Hi. I'm using version 2.1.11 of the NDK for CSharp. I'm getting this
same error message:
Code:
Connection.freeWriteSemaphore(-2): semaphore not owned by any thread

at TestLDAP.Program.Main(String[] args) in D:\Documents and Settings\tjbuege\my documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\TestLDAP\TestLDAP\Program.cs:line 20
This occurs when I try to bind to a server that does not exist. Here
is my sample source code that generates that error:
Code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Novell.Directory.Ldap;
namespace TestLDAP
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
LdapConnection conn = null;
string host = "server.does.not.exist.com";
int port = 389;
try
conn = new LdapConnection();
conn.Connect(host, port);
catch (Exception ex)
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
Console.WriteLine(ex.StackTrace);
if (conn != null)
conn.Disconnect();
Is there a fix for this? It makes this library useless for me.
Thanks,

I am not sure but I think scott user is maybe locked by default.
The problem to verify that is that I can't connect no more to oem, I only could the first time after creating CHUCKY database with emca .
Connection refused, my computer doesn't make a listen on theses addresses, it only made a listen on it the first time I had created database.
I don't know to reactivate it .
http://localhost:5500/em
http://localhost:1158/em

Enterprise Manager Agent Port (test) = 3938
Enterprise Manager Console HTTP Port (chucky) = 5500
Enterprise Manager Agent Port (chucky) = 1830
So I don't know exactly what the problem is oem is no more accessible so I can't change permission or reactivate scott user and it is said permissions denied when doing sqlplus as sysdba.

Connect to database with SQL*Plus: is TNSNAMES.ORA used?

Hi ,
we have a local database called DEV01 and a duplicate of this database in a datacenter. To be able to connect to both databases the TNSNAMES.ORA
on the local database server (not the one in the datacenter) has the following entries:
/* Entry for local database */
DEV01_local, DEV01_local.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server01)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SID= DEV01)
/* Entry for database in datacenter */
DEV01,DEV01.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server02)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SID = DEV01)
When I connect to the local database server I set the Oracle-environment as follows:
export ORACLE_SID=DEV01
export PATH=/opt/oracle/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin:$PATH
export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/app/oracle/product/9.2.0
Now I start SQL*Plus as follows:
oracle#> sqlplus user/user
SQL> select instance_name, host_name from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME    HOST_NAME
DEV01            server01
Since the SID is on both databases the same (DEV01) I really do not understand how Oracle decides to which database SQL*Plus connects to.
Is it a matter of the entries in the TNSNAMES.ORA?
But when I start SQL*Plus as follows:
oracle#> sqlplus user/user@DEV01_local
SQL> select instance_name, host_name from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME    HOST_NAME
DEV01            server01
or
oracle#> sqlplus user/user@DEV01
SQL> select instance_name, host_name from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME    HOST_NAME
DEV01            server02
everything is as expected.
Does anybody know which database gets chosen when just connect with "sqlplus user/user" (without @DEV01 or @DEV01_local)?
Any help will be appriciated!
Rgds
Jan

Both databases have the SID=DEV01.
The ORACLE_SID is set to DEV01 - but when connecting I end up at
oracle#> sqlplus user/user
SQL> select instance_name, host_name from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME    HOST_NAME
DEV01            server01
which is the database with the TNSNAMES.ORA entry "DEV01_local, DEV01_local.WORLD = ..."
In your case the one defined by ORACLE_SID environment variable => but which from both is it?

Not able to use ipad i cant get the passcode off its just saying connect to itune and that's not working

not able to get passcode off its doing nothing. it s just say connect to itune and it want do that so i guess i will send it back

You can't remove the Passcode if you can't remember it.
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
Instructions can be found here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

List users of specific databases that are not using the default storage quotas

I have an Exchange 2010 SP3 DAG with 4 databases. I am trying to use powershell to find out, per database, which mailboxes are
not using the "mailbox database defaults", which is unlimited in this case (no quotas for Issue warning, Prohibit send, and Prohibit send and receive).
Something like "get-mailbox | where {$_.UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults -ne $true} will not work because I just want the data for specific databases".
I have also tried "get-mailbox -database nameofdatabase | where {$_.UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults -ne $true} | out-file c:\temp\nameofdatabase.tx" but it lists some users that show unlimited for all categories and others some that have limits on certain
other ones. In short, it is not correct.
HDL

Hi,
From your description, I would like to clarify the following thing:
Running the Get-Mailbox -Database MBX1 | Where-Object {$_.usedatabasequotadefaults -eq $false} cmdlet will list all mailboxes who have a custom storage quota. But it only displays the value of ProhibitSendQuota. You can check the values of other storage
quotas via EMC.
EMC -> Recipient Configuration -> Mailbox -> double click the mailbox -> Mailbox Settings -> Storage Quotas
Hope my clarification can be helpful to you.

Rsh - connecting using user name that does not exist on remote computer

hi
is it possible to connect to a remote computer as, for example John, if user account John does not exist on the remote computer but is listed in .rhosts?
this is what i have written in .rhosts on the remote computer ( Work ):
home root
home John
when I connect as root:
rlogin -l root Work
everythings fine, but when I try to connect as John I get the incorrect login message
I know the message above probably answers my question, but I want to be sure

If the user id exists, you can bypass the authentication with .rhosts or /etc/hosts.equiv files; but you can't login to a remote machine as an anonymous user.

How tow connect two external displays that are not mirrored and turn of the retina display

Hello,
I have two questions:
1. Is it possible to use two external displays either mirrored or not and turn off the retina display, and if so how it is done?
2. Is it possible to close the MBP and use an external keyboard while using two external displays?
I am using a music production DAW Persons Studio One-2 Pro and it would be great to be able to have this type of a setup.
Thank You,

Bluetooth problem - Cannot Connect to Device that is not copyright protected SCMS-T Method

I have a Qosmio X875-5280 which has a bluetooth adapter. I also have a bluetooth device which is an adapter for a Bose Sounddock such that the device allows the Sounddock to receive the bluetooth audio stream from the laptop -- at least that is how it worked until recently. Diagnostics show that both the bluetooth adapter and the bluetooth device are working. When trying to connect to the device, I now get "connection failed" message or the message "You cannot connect to a device that is not copyright protected by SCMS-T method." It seems the Toshiba bluetooth stack is responsible for this, however, I fail to see why a device which is acting like headphones fails to connect now. I have Windows 7 64 installed. I have uninstalled all of the bluetooth drivers and re-installed them several times. Attached is a pdf file which shows all messages and settings relevant to the issue.

11gR2 Install Error, Listener is not up or database service is not registered with it

Hi all,
I'm currently studying towards my OCA, I've passed 1z0-051 (SQL Fundementals I), and now I'm moving onto 1z0-052 (Admin 1).
Im really having trouble creating a database in Oracle 11g R2 Enterprise Edition. I install the software no problem. Then I create a database, and during the creation I have to createsa listener which uses TCP (default port:1521) and IPC. whilst creating the database I get the following error
'Listener is not up or database service is not registered with it. Start the Listener and register database service and run EM configuration Assistant again.'

I can login as sys into my database through sqlplus, so it seems the database is up and running, it just seems to be a listener problem maybe??
Many thanks for any assistance that you give. I'm learning so be gentle...

SOLVED!
OK all solved now, thanks to the link to Ed Stevens website that Baris posted (mucho respect )
Seems that like Barus said I was not using Dynamic Registration, which means that I would need to manua
ly update the listerner.ora file. On top of that it seems that for some my tnsnames.ora wasn't resolving mt database name so the tnsping wasfailing.
What I did to solve the name resolution problem
1. Opened the
Network Configuration Assistant and saw that my listener didnt have my DB registered with it. So I added it. What this horrible GUI tool does is update the tnsnames and listener.ora files for you. So once that was done I went to the command prompt and did ;'tnsping <dn name> and hey presto it was getting a nice response.
Then I re-ran my DB Configuration Assistant and tried to reconfigure my database. However it aing failed and gave me the same message that I was originally getting about the DB Service not being registered etc..the lister status still said that same thing:
Services Summary...
Service "CLRExtProc" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "CLRExtProc", status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
the 'unknown' means that the DB didnt tell the listener that it was there but instead the listener is in manual mode and will just use the configuration in the listener.ora to know where the DB is.
So then I followed the steps on the ED Stevens website (follow the link). He has steps which show how to enable Dynanmic registration so that your DB regusters itself with the listener. In a nutshell, he states that he listener actually doesnt need the listerner.ora if using dynamic registration. I shutdown the DB, stopped the listener then I renamed the lsitener.ora to listerner.old, then started the lietener and checked the status and it said 'the listener supports no service' I then started the DB and, then resched teh listener status, it then read 'status: READY'... hooray!, the DB had dynamically registered itself with the listener. I then was able to successfully start up and run Enterprise Manager.
Thanks for all your help Baris, and Ed Steven website.
I know more now than when I started so I'm happy.
Thanks.
