CTXSYS.Context in Oracle Multitenant Database (Cloud) - is this supported?

Hello guys,
I am new to the world of apex which makes the administration console for the oracle database cloud a trivial ground for me.
I am trying to setup context indextype which i require for some applications on the jcs front end. however, i am having no luck setting up this index types.
I havent been able to find any resources regarding the CTXSYS package within the oracle database cloud documentation so I am hoping someone out here may have a few tips or tricks for me.
How can I grant execute on CTXSYS.CTX_DDL object to my database users?
thanks.

There's no oracle text support for database cloud services shamefully.
I cant help but wonder why oracle wont support features of its own product, not something to brag about "Oracle!!!!"

Hi Gerald,
I would recommend downloading the Early Adopter release of the Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench - http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration/workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html -, to carry out the database migration of your MS Access database. This is a new, redeveloped tool that extends the functionality and usability offered by the original Oracle Migration Workbench. The early adopter is only available for SQL Developer 1.1 Patch 2. In SQL Developer, ensure that you follow the instructions to "Check for Updates". This will add the Migration Workbench and the MS Access extension, required to migrate your MS Access database.
I hope this helps.

Question: create index indextype is ctxsys.context whith NOLOGGING

Dear All,
I would like to ask a question about
CREATE INDEX <index_name> ON <table_name> ( <index_col> ) INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT PARAMETERS ( ... )maybe you experienced that ctxsys.context index creation takes long time.
When you create a ctxsys.context index it is obvious to reduce the workload of the RDBMS. In this case I would like to reduce the I/O load with NOLOGGING option.
Firstly, I try to put the index into a tablespace with no logging option. I don't know why but it is not working. Watching the alert.log file I diagnose that redo log generated simultaneously while index generated (there are no other activity on RDBMS).
Q1 (optional): Why generating redo on object of NOLOGGING tablaspace ?
I think there are better solution: use the NOLOGGIN option of the create index command which is very simple to use at column indexes.
Which unclear to me how should I use in CREATE INDEX .. INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT command.
Fllowing the CREATE INDEX command syntax seems oubvious - but it provides sytax error.
Maybe this is why CREATE INDEX .. INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT needs something different for options: PL/SQL
example captured (for options):
begin
ctx_ddl.create_preference ('mystore', 'BASIC_STORAGE');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('mystore', 'I_INDEX_CLAUSE', 'tablespace users storage (initial 32k) compress 2');
end;
CREATE INDEX docs_idx ON my_docs(doc) INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT PARAMETERS ('STORAGE mystore');Q: How can I specify NOLOGGING option? In the index command? In the attribute? What is the exact syntax if NOLOGGING is allowed at ctxsys.context?
Oracle version: 11.1.0.6.0
Any advice, highly appreciated.
Istvan

You have to specify nologging in storage preference.
See Avoiding Redo Logging for an Oracle Text Domain Index (Doc ID 432762.1)
Example:
begin
ctx_ddl.drop_preference('my_storage');
end;
begin
ctx_ddl.create_preference('my_storage','BASIC_STORAGE');
end;
begin
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('my_storage', 'i_table_clause','tablespace foo1 storage (initial 5M next 10M pctincrease 0 freelists 24 freelist groups 24) nologging');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('my_storage', 'k_table_clause','tablespace foo2 storage (initial 5M next 10M pctincrease 0) nologging');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('my_storage', 'r_table_clause','tablespace foo3 storage (initial 5M next 10M pctincrease 0) lob(DATA) store as (nocache nologging) nologging');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('my_storage', 'n_table_clause','tablespace foo4 storage (initial 5M next 10M pctincrease 0) nologging');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('my_storage', 'p_table_clause','tablespace foo5 storage (initial 5M next 10M pctincrease 0) nologging');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('my_storage', 'i_index_clause','tablespace foo6 storage (initial 5M next 10M pctincrease 0) compress 2 nologging');
end;

Can forms 11g work with oracle 9i database?

Hi all,
Can anyone say if we can install forms 11g over WLS, using oracle 11g database for repository only, and activate/connect our forms to oracle 9i database?
is this how it's done?
our production database is 9.2.0.4 on sun solaris.
Please advise,
thanks,
Amit

It will work. Its just a Net 80 connection from WLS to the Oracle 9 database.

GetConnection from Oracle Database Cloud Service

I created a table at the internal JCS instance, and tried to create a web service to insert the data into the table. It's a simple insert operation, so I prefer to coding it without JPA or ADF business component.
So far, the web service works, but it can't connect to database service.
Here is my code snippet of the web service method which deployed on JCS, and the jndi name is database,
        try {
            Context ctx = new InitialContext();
            DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("database");
            conn = ds.getConnection();
            String sql = "insert into bvrequest(user_id,activity) values(?,?)";
            pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
            pstmt.setString(1, userid);
            pstmt.setString(2, activity);
            pstmt.executeUpdate();
            return "OK";
The thrown exception is,
weblogic.jdbc.extensions.PoolLimitSQLException: weblogic.common.resourcepool.ResourceLimitException: No resources currently available in pool database to allocate to applications, please increase the size of the pool and retry..
Is it a correct way to use Database Cloud Service? Any suggestion/comment is welcome.
-Paula

Hi Paula -
I think you need to ask this question in the Java Cloud Service forum. If you are trying to make a connection to a Database Cloud Service from Java outside the Oracle Public Cloud, you cannot do it with JDBC. You can only use RESTful Web Services from outside the Oracle Public Cloud to access the Oracle Database Cloud.
Hope this helps.

Network security with Oracle Database Cloud Service

Does the Oracle Database Cloud service support SSL? Or, any form of network encryption/authentication between a client and the service across the Internet?

Thank you Rick. I'm intending to use Oracle Database Cloud Service as a "Database-as-a-Service", however I have read that it is actually more of a "Platform-as-a-Service" offering.
What I would like to do is to interact with the Oracle Database Cloud Service via a local JDBC client. However, from further reading, it looks like the only way to interact with the Oracle Database Cloud Service from a non-Oracle-cloud-based client is via its RESTful web services (which, as you said, support SSL).
That is to say, I cannot simply connect to the Oracle Database Cloud Service from a local client just through JDBC alone. It looks like I would have to configure my client to make the relevant RESTful web service calls instead, and likewise configure my settings on the Oracle Database Cloud Service to make the necessary translations (from REST to SQL).
Just to finally clarify, is my above understanding correct?

Oracle Text, ctxsys.context problem with number column

09:01:18 ORA-29855: wystąpił błąd przy wykonywaniu podprogramu ODCIINDEXCREATE (An error has occurred in the performance of the subprogram)

Edited by: Ndejo on 2012-11-21 00:53

The multi_column_datastore says that the text to be indexed should be fetched from the supplied COLUMNS list rather than from the actual column the index is created on.
So in this case we're fetching the contents of "theNumber" column, converting it to text, and indexing it.
You don't necessarily need a dummy column, if "a_title" is a varchar column you could create the index on that instead.
For example:
SQL> create table mytab( a_id number, a_code number, a_title varchar2(80), a_subtitle varchar2(80), a_info clob );
Table created.
SQL> insert into mytab values ( 12, 9812376, 'foo is the title',
2 'foobar is the subtitle', 'the info column will not be indexed' );
1 row created.
SQL> exec ctx_ddl.drop_preference( 'myds' )
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> exec ctx_ddl.create_preference( 'myds', 'MULTI_COLUMN_DATASTORE' )
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> exec ctx_ddl.set_attribute( 'myds', 'COLUMNS', 'a_code, a_title, a_subtitle' )
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> create index myindex on mytab (a_title) indextype is ctxsys.context
2 parameters ('datastore myds');
Index created.
SQL> select a_id from mytab where contains (a_title, '%123%') > 0;
      A_ID
        12
SQL> select a_id from mytab where contains (a_title, 'foo') > 0;
      A_ID
        12If you want to be able to search within a particular column, then add "section group CTXSYS.AUTO_SECTION_GROUP" to the parameters clause, and you can then do:
SQL> select a_id from mytab where contains (a_title, 'foobar WITHIN a_subtitle') > 0;
      A_ID
        12

Connecting to oracle 12c multitenant database

My question, using coldfusion 11 enterprise datasource gui,
how do you connect to oracle 12c multitenant database,
when you need to log into a pluggable database, beneath
the container database?
What's the connection string, or is it even possible to connect(?) because earlier versions of oracle
didn't use multitenant architecture, you just make a user/password,
grant connect privileges, and connect.
Using Oracle Linux 6.5 64bit.
This is assuming I can connect to the oracle CDB (container database) and PDB (pluggable database) from the shell using sqlplus.

Is there a way to terminate Oracle Database Cloud Service - S5 service?

Hi All,
I'm having a very terrible situation here. I have been trying to terminate my database cloud service but nobody in Oracle sale team or support team are able to do it. I spoke to a guy from sales team and he forwarded my call to a guy in support team which he said he'll do it and gave me a reference number. A few weeks later I got an email from a billing department asking me to pay the amount that was due. I explained to him the situation and got no words back from him. Guess what! today I checked my bank account and found that Oracle has taken the payment from me!
I'm furiously angry with Oracle! It seems that there is no escape from the cloud service! the customer service is terrible and there seems no co-ordinations between different departments.
I really appreciate for your help as I dont who I should and can speak to.
Cheers,
Syaifuddin

Not good to hear.... I hope it has been resolved by now.
However, in case of such an event, which will not happen to often, you can always request your bank to block this until the situation has been resolved. In esscece this should not happen however I can imagine that in a very unlikely scenario this could happen.
Hope Iloon Wolff-Oracle has been able to resolve this for you.

Johan Louwers.

Using DADs in APEX in Oracle Database Cloud

Hi,
How is it possible to call procedures via DAD like the following?
https://database-trialaxyz.db.us1.oraclecloudapps.com/apex/XYZSCHEMA.xyz_package.xyz_proc?p_param1=123&p_param2=999
Hence request path contains the procedure call.
Thanks a lot for your advice.
Karin

Karin,
That is not possible on the database cloud. Your procedure would have to be authorized to be called (which it won't be on the cloud) and your procedure would need to be able to be publicly executable, which also is not allowed on the cloud.
What you could do is create a RESTful service in SQL workshop that would accept your desired parameters, and then turn around and invoke the procedure using those parameters.
Regards,
Jason

I get the same error in 11g, as shown below, but not in 12c, as shown below that. So, it looks like there has been a change in the way that Oracle Text does things between versions. When you create an Oracle Text Context index, it creates some domain index tables. Apparently there is some change involved behind the scenes in the dripref.set_preferences procedure that perhaps does an append or some such thing. If you post this question in the Text space/sub-forum, with a link to this thread, you may get a more detailed explanation and perhaps a workaround from Oracle Text product manager Roger Ford or others. Or, perhaps some moderator will move this thread there.

Recreating indexes of type: ctxsys.context

For a database on Oracle 10g, I need to output a script that recreates all indexes of type of ctxsys.context type. I can do it running this query:
SELECT owner, index_name, DBMS_METADATA.get_ddl('INDEX', index_name, owner)
FROM all_indexes
WHERE ityp_owner = 'CTXSYS' AND ityp_name = 'CONTEXT';However, if an index has parameters like this:
CREATE INDEX <MySchema>.<Index_name> ON <MySchema>.<Index_name>
(BL_RESOLUCION)
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT
PARAMETERS('sync (every "FREQ=DAILY; BYHOUR=1")')
NOPARALLEL;If I run DBMS_METADATA.get_ddl function, I get this output script:
CREATE INDEX <MySchema>.<Index_name> ON <MySchema>.<Index_name>
(BL_RESOLUCION)
