Database Creation - Need Help

Hi All,
I am new to database creation. We have a project starting early next month.
The application acts like an interface to more than one user. One user will have access to his/her authorized set of data.
So, he/she cannot/should not access other users data. Same is the scenario with all the other users.
We are hoping that, we will have large amount of data specific to every user. We have identified some ways to do this:
1. Create seperate schemas to each and every user.
2. Create a single schema and have a master table which will have all the user details. Based on this, the data will be created in the tables.
3. Have a single schema and create partitions/sub partitions in the tables for each and every user.
We have identified the above with minimun exposure to database creation/maintenance. So, we are not sure which would be the perfect way
Can you please suggest the best thing to follow here.
Thanks in advance.

If the data structure is exactly the same for all these users and the number of users is high, a better way is to implement Virtual Private Database. With VPD, you will have one transaction data but each user will have access to its own rows only.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/security/index-088277.html
It is more expandable than the solutions you provided and is very seamless after the initial setup.

Tomcat - SQL Server 2000 Database connectivity - Need Help

Hi
I am new to java and Apache Tomcat, can anyone help me how to connect SQLServer 2000 Database. thru .jsp, in my pc I have installed XP Prof. with SP2, SQL Server 2000 Developer Ed. with SP4, Apache Server 2.2 Tomact 5.5., Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC. Please help me out.. I want to know all settings for SQL connectivity & sample code.
Thanks in advance.
Bharat Gajjar

So why don't you search for the documentation? Tomcat is one of the few apache java projects that is actually decently documented.
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html
That should be all you need to get up and running. For the correct JDBC settings, the microsoft website has an article, as do many other websites.

Oracle XE 10g database offline need help getting it back in 11g EE

Our server crashed...completely crashed...lightning took it clean out. It was older hardware running server 2003, oracle xe 10g, so we replaced it with a newer better server running 2008r2 (64bit I might add).
I need to bring the old database, tablespaces and datafiles back online with the new server and the new instance of Oracle.
I have sucessfully installed oracle 11g EE and can create new a new database (all is online with this), but I need my old data back for PCM 13.1. I cannot find any good online documentation regarding this issue, and we are down until its corrected. Obviously just copying the data over isnt going to work, so any help is much appreciated.
I have good copies of the old hard drives with the folder structures intact, but there is no chance of getting the old OS back online without purchasing old matching hardware and just slamming the drives into it.
Basically how do I get the new instance of Oracle to open and run my older database...how do I restore it?

I did it...yay! Here's what I did...I installed a fresh copy of oracle 10g xe in my virtual xp mode. Stopped the database after installation...deleted and replaced the oradata and fast_recovery_area folders with my old data. Started the database and everything worked so far. In the server with 2008 r2 I installed 11g xe, same system password. I then installed SQL Developer on both computers (easier for me than typing out the scripts). In the XP mode 10g xe computer I did a FULL data pump export to a dump directory. I then moved the dump file to the new server and ran a data pump import, appending data if existing. First time, failed....checked the log and obviously I missed the fact the folder structure MUST be the same for the datafiles or I would have to remap (too much work). The default oradata folder is different in 10g than 11g. I created the oradata folder in 11g xe in the same location as 10g would put it and ran the import script again. BAM, it worked this time...I have my data back in 11g xe and my software was able to find it like it should. Thank you for your consideration and help...hope this helps someone else down the road.

Login against database table,need help

hi all:
i need to develop a login page that authenticate users against a database table
i made a login page with no bindings a submit button which submit the form to a struts data action ,i defined a custom method at the vo implementation expose it to the client interface and drag and drop this method into the struts action this is the method code
public boolean findProjectOwnersByOwnerid (String Ownerid)
setWhereClauseParam(0,Ownerid);
executeQuery();
boolean found = (first() != null );
setWhereClause(null);
setWhereClauseParams(null);
setMaxFetchSize(0);
return found;
in the struts data action i override the data forword action this is the code:
protected void findForward(DataActionContext actionContext) throws Exception
// TODO: Override this oracle.adf.controller.struts.actions.DataAction method
super.findForward(actionContext);
String target="failed";
JUCtrlActionBinding method = actionContext.getCustomMethod();
String result = (String)method.getResult();
System.out.println(result);

target = "failed";
if (result.equalsIgnoreCase("false"))
target = "success";
actionContext.setActionForward(target);
now when i run this page i get this error java.lang.NullPointerException
can anyone help please

Hi,
the nice thing with NullPointer exceptions is that it also tells you the source and line number where this occurs. It would be useful to follow up on this to see where the problem originates

Backup Database Problem - Need help -- thanks!!

I have backed up my LR database every few days and have had it check for corruption. Things were fine until today when I went to back it up. I received a message saying "Cannot write one file". That was the extent of the message. It didn't say that I had a corruption or give me an obvious error type warning. I rebooted my PC and repeated the maneuver without success.
I then opened my most previous DB, from last week, and when I tried to save it, I got the same "Cannot write one file" message.
LR appears to be working fine and all my metadata information seems intact.
What does this mean and what should I do? I need to back up my database otherwise I feel very vulnerable to problems.
Thanks for yor help! Marc - Syracuse, NY

Thank you for the interest...
I am using a Windows XP workstation and using the native LR database backup routine to backup the file to an external Western Digital harddrive. The WD HD has tons of room and, for some reason, the backup routine would tell me that it was "unable to write one file".
I've tried reverting to an prior copy of the DB and now it seems okay. But I lost some of my recent work and feel a little less secure about putting all my edits/metadata into LR if I can be at risk for losing it again in the future.

ISE - CSCty54756 - how do I reindex a ISE database? Need help please!

Anybody know how to implement the workaround below?
Indexes got corrupted in MNT DB
CSCty54756
Symptom:
The ISE Dashboard will not show up any activities and when checked in the mnt-collector.out log file from support bundle you will see indexing errors
Conditions:
If you see indexing error as below :
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01502: index 'MNT.SYS_C0011721' or partition of such index is in unusable state.
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01502: index 'MNT.SYS_C0011720' or partition of such index is in unusable state
Workaround:
As a quick workaround Indexes needs to be re-executed and all this execution needs to be done under the guidance of MNT Dev
Further Problem Description:
When you observe if the dash board is not logging any information , even though authentications are happening successfully , then when we check the support bundle for mnt-collector.out log and if we happen to see the above SQL Exceptions , we can conclude that due to index errors , dash board is not writing any logs.

Hello all,
I actually have the same problem with my Cisco ISE with Dashboard showing nothing and cisco ISE returning Database Failure like as shown below:
"Database failure (nnpc-ise, Posture)
Exception:
ORA-01502: index 'MNT.SYS_C0011756' or partition of such index is in unusable state"
Kindly advise me on how i can fix this error.
NOTE: I AM USING CISCO AS AS STANDALONE MODE I DO NOT HAVE MONITORING NODE.

No primary key in database table.Need help with ODS keys.

Hi ,
I am pulling data from a database table where there in no primary key . So when I designed my ODS and loaded the data , the records got overwritten...(If there are 5000 records only 4000 got transfered) . So Now the only option I can think of is putting all the database fields as key fields in my ODS but then I am restricted to only 16 fields for ODS and I have more than 24 fields in my database table.What should I do now.Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks a lot!!!

Hi,
are you trying to pull data from structures.....putting all the fields in the key fields is the ODS keys is not a solution.
what is your reporting requirement....try to maintain the keys for which you want to see the data
e.g. if in report you want to see the data for sales order then put the keys as sales order for ODS...so that the data is correct at the sales order level.
ie. the try to maintain the ODS at the level ...which can be used.
This is the just a guide....you can decide with your requirement.
Thanks

Database Creation - Please Help!

Hi everyone, I am trying to do a database application for a uni project but have no idea where to start.
The data the database should be able to store is for a book shop and should be Title, Author, Price, Quantity, Description.
The user should be able to add records into the database, delete records, modify existing records and perform searches of existing records so that they may be able to locate a record by entering a key word or the title of the book or authors name.
I would also like to put a password onto the system but once again do not know how to acheive this.
I am not asking for a solution, only a helping hand in getting started, so if anyone can suggest the best way to start such a project I would be grateful.
Thanks everyone

This Database is to be a stand alone application (runs on one pc only) so there would be only one terminal where the application is running.
The scale of the project is basic, I just have to create a database that can hold the information I have stated and also do the searches mentioned, if possible also have a password protection so that only certain users could access it.

XML Huge database files, NEED HELP !!!

Hello to the community.
We need to store about ONE MILLION XML FILES inside the database.
BUT we need to use all functionality of XML Structure to look for
information inside these files (CONTAINS).
My question is:
What is the best way to store them:
like XML files inside CLOB ?
or fragment the files inside tables ?
Using ConText Option ?
Using CONTAINS functions ?
Is ConText Option supports CONTAINS function ?!?
We have many queries with text searching...
What is the best way to store this so we have best velocity to
acces to the info ?
Thanks to answer soon

Let me try and answer your question. First the CONTAINS
operator in Intermedia Text (formerly Context) will allow you to
search for data between tags of an XML document stored as a
CLOB. Whether you should distribute your XML documents across
tables is largely a function of how you want the data searched
retrieved. Currently the XML search function operates within a
column and thus if you want the entire doc back it would be best
to store it as a whole. Once iFS is released you will be able
to distribute the doc across tables and return it as a whole or
in parts.
Chack out http://www.oracle.com/database/options/ifs.htm and
http://www.oracle.com/database/options/intermedia.htm for more
details.

Oracle database down need help

My company is using a program called Digital Collections (DC4) from GMTI. We have an oracle database on the backend. Recently the server's raid array fan went out and we lost all 5 drives. We were able to recover some of the lost data from backup tapes but we can't seem to locate the oracle 8.0.5 install CD's. Now, I can only download 9i which as I understand will not access oracle 8 files. All the migration howto's start by dumping the data from oracle 8 and then importing to 9i. But if I don't have 8 running how can I dump the data? Does anyone know of a solution. Either a method or utility to dump the data from the raw files or a link to download 8.0.5 Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can't attach oracle 8 version datafiles to 9i database or vice-versa. It was DBA's responsibility to keep the backups in case of disaster occurs at any time.
Check with your friends about the availability of oracle 8, you will get it, if you are lucky enough.
