Create mount point on Mac OS for Oracle 10g

I am trying to install Oracle 10g on Mac OS. The current mount point is "/". But I want to create a mount point like "/u01" so that the Oracle home path will be /u03/app/oracle. The question is how to create this mount point /u01 on MAC OS? Please advise.
Thanks
S.

Mount points are traditionally simple (and empty) directories.
A directory becomes a mount point when it is used in the mount command. Typical *nix sequence is
mkdir /u01
mount <type information> <source disk> /u01 -o <options>
What the docs are referring to is the Oracle (or Optimal) Flexible Architecture and the assumption is that you have additional drive partitions available. In that case
mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /u01
would do the trick.
In your case, assuming you have enough disk space on the root file system, and assuming this is not for a production environment, just stop at the 'mkdir /u01' and you;ll be fine. Then 'mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle' and 'chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01' so that you can use '/u01/app/oracle' as your ORACLE_BASE in the install, and '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1' as the ORACLE_HOME (which will become the defaults if you set ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle before you start the installer)
For a production system, it is generally insane to use one disk and put Oracle database & s/w on the root disk - 'eggs in one basket' kind-a thing.

How to create a DSN (Data Source Name) for "Oracle 10g XE" on SUSE 10??

Hii Friends,
I am new Linux user.I installed SUSE Linux 10.2. I am planning to do my project on Linux with J2EE,Oracle technologies. I installed Oracle 10g Express Edition. But unfortunately i have no provider name for oracle in the Providers List in SUSE/Gnome Desktop/System/Data Access points/ dsn list. I am unable to understand what actually happened. Should i install any other libraries, or Odbc drivers (I mean aren't they not given by Oracle XE Setup, as in MS Windows XP) ? Any one please help me. I need this immediately.
Waiting for a reply,

How to create Mount Point in Linux

Hi,
I m new to Linux OS, want to install Oracle EBS R12 on OEL 5.6 . I have downloaded s/w and installed all required packages for OEL.
Now i want to create Staging directory at location /u01/StageR12.
Can anyone guide me for how to create Mount point /u01 and how to assign space of 53 GB to it.... ?
Reply awaited...

You're on the right path.
Keep in mind though what you need partition wise just for o/s install. You should have at least 3 partitions:
- a ?? GB partition for the / (root) mount (the size depends on what you will install and how much space you will need for running that s/w)
- a 128MB or larger partition for the /boot mount
- a ?? GB partition as swap space mount (typically rule of thumb is 2x RAM for 4GB and lower, else around 25% of total RAM)
I would not create separate partitions for the old-style +/u01+ mount points for Oracle. That part of the OFA (Oracle Flexible Architecture) standards are old and pre-ASM and pre- automated Oracle managed data files.
You need space for installing an Oracle Home. I do not see the need for a dedicated mount point for that. I use the root file system.
You need space for the actual database. If you use Oracle ASM, then I would create raw partitions (across disks) to be used for database storage. These will not be mounted or formatted. Instead these will be assigned to an ASM diskgroup (and striped by default) and used for database storage.
If you do not use ASM, then you need a cooked file system for storage of database file. In that case separate mount point(s) make sense. Also, it makes sense not to manually apply the old OFA standards, but instead use Oracle managed database files. In that case you need a single mount point (e.g.<i>/oracledb</i>) - and set that as the base directory for Oracle to use for the database. Oracle will create an OFA compliant database directory tree and files under that base directory/mount point.
Keep in mind that the more mount points you have for the database, the more difficult your job becomes to manage storage. The easiest is a single mount point for the database and using Oracle to manage the OFA compliant side for you on that mount point.
Also, you cannot and should not attempt some kind of manual striping layout of the database across multiple mountpoints. This may have made some sense back 10+ years ago. It no longer does.

Create mount point .

Hi guys.
How to create mount point for database .
Thanks.

Even if you tell us the operating system your system may use another file system provided by another company separate from the OS so information about file system software would help us as well. JFS UFS VERITAS........
I presume your talking about "mount points" because you need another file system for this restore. Your Unix admin should be able to help provide extra disk capacity?
Kind regards

Creating Mount Points using XML

I am new to xml and am trying to create mount points using xml.
However, I am having trouble figuring out what tag to use to set
the Associated Folder. There is an AssociatedPublicObject
attribute for mount point that using that as a tag doesn't work.
Can anyone tell how to do this?
Thanks.

It is possible using only XML, yet I am missing the mount point path...
my XML sofar is:
<?xml version = '1.0' standalone = 'yes'?>
<MountPoint>
<Name>testMountP</Name>
<Description>Test Mount Point</Description>
<Acl Reftype="Name">Lesezugriff_fuer_Projekt_Mitglieder</Acl>
<SecuringPublicObject Reftype="Path"> /mypath </SecuringPublicObject>
<ResolvedPublicObject Reftype="Path"> /mypath </ResolvedPublicObject>
<ASSOCIATEDPUBLICOBJECT Reftype="Path"> /mypath </ASSOCIATEDPUBLICOBJECT>
</ObjectList>
Somehow the attribute AssociatedPublicObject does not get updated by this xml. The MountPoint is created but the location path is set to null.
Any comments?

Error while creating datasource userdsn for oracle 10g Errorcode (998)

while creating datasource userdsn for oracle 10g i am getting error "The setup routines for the oracle in OraDb10g_home1 odbc driver could not be loaded due to system error code 998" please give reply soon

Thanks for your reply , Steve.
I noticed that there is a default datasouce on the EM with the following parameters:

The location and xa-location attributes that I use for my "test" data source are the same as the default one. So, could this be the issue?
What should be the values for location and xa-location attributes from my "test" data source?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Oracle SQL template to create re-usable DDL/DML Scripts for Oracle database

Hi,
I have a requirement to put together a Oracle SQL template to create re-usable DDL/DML Scripts for Oracle databases.
Only the Oracle DBA will be running the scripts so permissions is not an issue.
The workflow for any DDL is as follows:-
1) New Table
a. Check if the table exists from the system/admin views.
b. If table exists then give message "Table Exists"
c. If table does not exist then execute DDL code
2) Add Column
a. Check if Column exists for a given table from system/admin views
b. If column exists in the specified table,
b1. backup table.
b2. alter table to make changes to the column
b3. verify data or execute dml script convert from backup to the new change.
c. If Column does not exist
c1. backup table
c2. alter table to add column
c3. execute dml to populate column with default value.
The DML scripts are for populating base tables with data required for business operations.
3) Add new row
a. check if row exists by comparing old values of each column with new values to be added for the new record.
b. If exists, give message row exists
c. If not exists, add new record.
4) Update existing record (We have createtime columns in these tables so changes can be tracked)
a. check if row exists using primary key.
b. If exists,
b1. deactivate the record using the "active" column of the table
b2. Add new record with the changes required.
c. If does not exist, add new record with the changes required.
Could you please help with some ideas which can get this done accurately?
I have tried several ways, but I am not able to put together something that fulfills all requirements.
Thank you,

First let me address your question. (This is the easy part.)
1. The existence of tables can be found in DBA_TABLES. Query it and and then use conditional logic and execute immediate to process the DDL.
2. The existence of table columns is found in DBA_TAB_COLUMNS. Query it and then conditionally execute your DDL. You can copy the "before picture" of the table using that same dba view, or even better, use DBMS_METADATA.
As for your DML scripts, they should be restartable, reversible, and re-run-able. They should "fail gracefully" on error, be written in such a way that they can run twice in a row without creating duplicate changes.
3. Adding appropriate constraints can prevent invalid duplicate rows. Also, you can usually add to the where clause so that the DML does only what it needs to do without even relying on the constraint (but the constraint is there as a safeguard). Look up the MERGE statement to learn how to do an UPSERT (update/insert), which will let you conditionally "deactivate" (update) or insert a record. Anything that you cannot do in SQL can be done with simple procedural code.
Now, to the heart of the matter...

Can't Create the ODBC connection for Oracle 10g

Hi,
I am working with Oracle 10g Database Release 2 in windows XP professional. I am trying to create an ODBC connection for oracle but become failure because its generating the following errors:
system error code 998

Please help me how can I solve this problem and create the ODBC connection for oracle 10g database.

The odbc driver config routine will search directories listed in PATH variable for necessary libraries (Client dll's). If some library fails to load (from e.g. oraoci*.dll or oraclient10.dll) it will probably error out, as in your case.
Are you creating the odbc dsn on the databse server host or on some other machine? I.e. are you using the db host as a client or not?

Errors using DBMS_SQLTUNE Advisors for Oracle 10g

I get errors trying to tune the below query for Oracle 10g using the DBMS_SQLTUNE advisors.
It happens when I wrap either a large block of PL/SQL code that uses bind variables or multiple nested subqueries with multiple JOIN conditions in a SELECT query statement that I wish to tune using the 10g SQLTUNE advisors.

Enable autoarchiving for Oracle 10g RAC db

Hello
What are the steps to enable autoarchiving for Oracle 10g cluster database?
It is currentrly in noarchivelog mode.
Thank you,
Yelena

Hi.
I think that this has been improved in 10g, so that we can do an exclusive mount on any database in a RAC without setting cluster_database to false. Also the parameter log_archive_start has been depreciated so the steps is simply (assuming that you by default wants to use db_recovery_file_dest to store archived redo logs)
1) Shutdown immediate (instance 1)
2) Startup mount
3) Alter database archivelog
4) Alter database open
Repeat this sequence for all nodes in the RAC.
And the best is to leave the log_archive_format by it's default value, to ensure that the incarnation of the database is represented in the archive log name.
(On 10g, backupsets and archivelogs are usable beyond different reincarnation of a database, so there is a good change that S% or s% will repeat itself after an open resetlogs).
Hopes this might help you.
Good Luck

SNMP FOR ORACLE 10G?

Hi all!
i am trying to configure snmp with oracle 10g so that i can monitor oracle from some network management system like tivoli, spectrum etc.

CONFIG.master
CONFIG.encap
start_peer
files??? Please let me know if someone has configured that???
Also, how do you test whether the agent is running on the server or not??

Archiving Best Practices / How To Guide for Oracle 10g - need urgently

Hi,
I apologize if this is a silly question. But i need a step by step archiving guide for Oracle 10g and cannot find any reference document. I am in a rather remote part of S.E. Asia & can't seem to find DBA's with the requisite experience to do the job properly. I have had 1 database lock up this week at a big telecoms provider and another one at a major bank is about to go. I can easily add LUNS & re-structure mirrors etc at the Unix level [ i am a Unix engineer ]
but i know that is not the long run solution. I am sure the 2 databases i am concerned about have never been archived properly.
This is the sort of thing DBA's must do all the time. Can someone point me to the proper documentation so i can do a proper job and archive a few years data out of these databases. I do not want to do a hack job. At least i can clone the databases and practise on the clones first before i actually do production.
-thanks very much

I'm not so sure this is a general database question, as it would be specific to an application and implementation, and as the technology has changed, the database options to support it has too.
So for example, if you have bought the partitioning option, there may be some sensible procedure for partitioning off older data.
Things may depend on whether you are talking about an OLTP, a DW, a DSS, or mixed systems.
DBA's do it all the time because the requirements are different everywhere. Simply deleting a lot of data after copying the old data to another table (as some older systems do) may just wind up giving you performance problems scanning swiss-cheesed data.
Some places may not archive at all, if they've separated out OLTP from reporting. If all the OLTP stuff is accessed through indices, all the older stuff just sits there. The reporting DB may only have what is needed to be reported on, or be on a standby db where range scans are sufficient to ignore old data. There there's exadata, which has it's own strengths.
Best Practices have to be on similar enough systems, otherwise they are a self-contradiction.
Get yourself someone who understands your requirements and can evaluate the actual problem. No apology needed, it is not a silly question. But what is silly is assuming what the problem is with no evidence.

Oracle gateway for Oracle 10g DB on Windows 64 bit server

Is there any place that I can find Oracle dateway for Oracle 10g DB on Windows 64 bit server? I can only find Gateway for Oracle 11g on Windows 32 bit server. Please help me to identify this. Thanks.

yingkuan:
Thanks a lot. The link tells the details. It seems that Oracle has not release Gateway for Oracle database 10.2.0.x on Windows 64 bit server. Probably they don't do it.
So under this circumstance, if I want to install Gateway (32 bit) on Oracle 10.2.0.3 DB on Windows 64 bit server for Teradata, I probably have to install Gateway software in another Oracle Home, then configure it right. Please give more advice on this. 32 bit Gateway will work for 64 bit database?

Long-term retention backup strategy for Oracle 10g

Hello,
I need design a Archivelog, Level 0 and Level 1 long-term retention backup strategy for Oracle 10g, It must be based in Rman with tapes.
¿Somebody could tell me what it's the best option to configure long-term retention backups in Oracle?, "CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 1825 DAYS;" It's posibble ?
Regards and thanks in advance

Hello;
RECOVERY WINDOW is an integer so yes its possible. Does it make sense?
Later My bad, this is Oracle 11 only ( the gavinsoorma link ) . Getting harder and harder to think about 10. Don't think I would use RECOVERY WINDOW.
I would let the tape backup system handle the retention of your rman backups.
Using crosscheck and delete expired commands you can keep the catalog current with the available backups on tape.
Oracle 10

If you want to keep 5 years worth of backups I might just use KEEP specific date using the UNTIL TIME clause :
keep until time 'sysdate+1825'More info :
