Database Creation using OCI

Is there a way to create a database using OCI?
Using the Database Configuration Assistant is one way. But I want to create a database while installing my application(using Install Shield). I have seen some installations do that, could somebody throw some light on the topic.
TIA!

Go to <http://tahiti.oracle.com>, the Oracle documentation repository, and do a search on "create database". There are a number of pages of the Administrator's Guide devoted to the commands you'd need to issue to create a new database.

When I am using thin driver, I am successful in connecting to the database
oracle.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@(description=(address=(host=url.name.com)(protocol=tcp)(port=1521))(connect_data=(sid=user)))
I am using JBOSS 1.6 with oracle 11.1.0 and jdk 1.6
Please help me resolve the problem
Thanks,

You should confirm that you can connect to the DB with a simple Java class using the url that the code you posted is using.
This will show that the OCI client is installed and executing properly. If you can't connect externally you will need to fix that first.
Is the Oracle client installed on the same machine the JDBC code is running on?

Database creation using ant/maven/liqubase

Dear ALL:
I am creating the database instance using the ant/maven scripts and following are the things I tried but some how it is not creating the database.
I have installed the 64bit oracle 11gR2 on windows 7 and configured the default database (ORCL). after installation I opened up the command prompt and tried sqlplus and it get connected and I can see the tables. However when I tries to do it using the build script it fails. Following are few things I tried out.
I plan to created 'orcl as the database with sid=orclusing the ant command 'ant -Denv=dev clean create-db -d' but it failed saying orcl is already running and you need to shut down it and I think it is expected because I am creating the database named orcl which is already created. Then I changed database name to dms and sid=dms then it throws error that you cant connect to the server with following error.

How to check the database connection using OCI

I am working on enhhancement of very old application developed using C and OCI. It has a background process which acts as a middleware for interaction of any other front end process with oracle database. Any processes, which needs to interact with database sends a request to background peocess and then it will execute a call to execute the stored procedures for performing requested operation (like select, update, insert) on table and will send the result back to respective process. So this process has to be always running in background and connected to branch database.
If branch database gets restarted or connection gets dropped due to some ad-hoc problem then the background process also has to be restarted manually. Because this process establishes the connection to branch database only once on start up and it does not have the intelligence to reconnect automatically in such scenario.
I am looking forward to build the intelligence in this process to automatically reconnect if connection with branch database is lost. But I am not familer with OCI, and I am not sure if there is any OCI call which can determine if my earlier connection is still available. Can any one please tell me if there is any other way to check the connection other than the execution of dummy query, then check if it gets executed properly and then do the actual query.
Thanks in advance,
Deeapk

Hi,
If you are reworking the application can you not build in the functionality to re-establish a connection if there is a failure? That is, a submission from the application server to the database server detects a failure, etc. and then re-establishes the connection. If you need a more frequent check than during a user-initiated roundtrip, you may be best served by using the "dummy query" technique on some time interval.
From my understanding using HA Event Notification would require a RAC database (plus a multi-threaded application and services correctly configured on the RAC-side).
In the documentation I see this:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14250/oci09adv.htm#sthref1495
"Applications must connect to a RAC instance to enable HA event notification."
In any case, this has the potential to be a bit complicated...

Mark

Database creation using backups files

Hi,
I would like to create a test database from backup of my production database.
I am new to this task.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
in production server
1.Login as sysdba in the and issue
"alter database backup controlfile to trace" command
in test server
2.Create a user oratest
2.Copy all the data files from production server
3.Copy the Oracle home
4.Edit the trace file
i.CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "prod" RESETLOGS
in place of
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "test" NORESETLOGS
ii.Remove the recover database and alter database open lines.
iii.Edit the data files with new path in test server.
iv.save as db_create.sql
5.create the new database by executing
i.sqlplus '/as sysdba'
ii.startup nomount
iii.@db_create.sql
iv.alter database open.
What changes I have to do after copying initprod.ora to inittest.ora?
Thanks,

Your question is lacking the 4-digit version of the database, and the O/S.
For Oracle 10g and higher, using database control, it would be much more easy to duplicate the database to another server, using rman.
The procedure you describe is incomplete and incorrect and will fail for several reasons.
2.Create a user oratest -- why?
2.Copy all the data files from production server -- obviously the production database needs to be shutdown for this, or all files will be inconsistent
3.Copy the Oracle home -- if you created a new user oratest, and the user on the production server is oracle, this is not going to work, as the user and group info is linked into the Oracle executable. Also the O/S and version must be identical.
If you created a new user, you need to reinstall Oracle, if your O/S version is not identical you need to relink Oracle.
4 i is incorrect
Obviously, in inittest.ora all occurrences of prod need to replaced by test.
But then again: use RMAN and the only command you need is duplicate database, and the production database can stay online.

Hi -
I cannot get dbca to display on my xp machine.
I installed xming and have xclock running.
Started putty and enabled X11, and this is the result:
echo $DISPLAY
localhost:11.0
When I start running dbca, I basically get no response.
It is running on the linux server, but I get no display (X window)
to work from. My colleague has experienced the exact same
issue.
Thanks for your attention,
Mark

Database creation: use machine name instead of ip address.

I am creating a new database using the Database Configuration Assistant. After the install, it tells me that the EM can be approached through http://192.168.198.128:1158/em. However, since the ip-address is dynamic, i'd prefer to refer to the machine name instead of the ip address. During the setup I could not see where to change this.
Regards,
Rick

Thanks for your replies, I will try that. Version info: 10.2.0, on a Windows Server 2k3. The server runs in a virtual machine, which is pretty much the root of the problem: it tends to change ip addresses when restarting it. I will now install the loopback adapter and see what happens.
Edited by: user10064100 on 8-dec-2008 7:48Ah, a server on a virtual machine. Why didn't you say that in your initial posting? I would think that would be much different situation than the usual 'changing ip' configuration of placing a sandbox database on a DHCP desktop or laptop machine...
I don't have any experience with VM's, so I'll leave that to those that do. At the least, I'd expect the loopback adapter to not necessarily be your solution. That's for the assumptions that I clearly stated in my first response. If those assumptions don't match your situation (and it is now clear that they don't) then you need consider that before taking any advice based on those assumptions.

Physical database creation using Grid Control fail

I have tried several times to create a physical standby using Grid Control. Everytime, the job failed at the step "DBClone -> Destination Preparation". The log file indicated the following error message:
PLS-00553: character set name is not recognized.
When I check the spfile, I find that an extra word "PuTTY" was inserted into the spfile as shown in the following spfile, therefore, the instance cannot be started. In addition, everytime when issuing the command "cat spfilermslag.ora", the word "PuTTY" will automatically appear in the command line after the "cat spfilermslag.ora" command.
$ cat spfilermslag.ora

What is going on here? How can I fix the problem?

You might just have to do it the old fashioned way. At least it will be a good learning experience.

Unable to Connect to Oracle 10gR1 database from JDeveloper 11g using OCI

We are migrating our application from OC4J to Weblogic server. As a part, I am trying to create a database connection in JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.3.0 - Build JDEVADF_11.1.1.3.PS2_GENERIC_100408.2356.5660) to Oracle 10gR1 database. Previously I had Oracle 10g Client installed in the machine. Created a database connection using OCI driver and when I try to test connect, I got "Test Failed: no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path". I searched through Metalink and forums and one suggestion was to install Oracle 11g Client on the machine where Jdeveloper 11g is installed. I installed 11g R1 client and tried the same test connection using OCI driver. Now I am getting "Test failed: ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified" error.
The same database connection works good with Thin driver with both Oracle 10g client and 11gR1 client.
Previously I had Jdeveloper 10.1.3.2 and Oracle 10g Client and I was able to connect to database without any errors.
Could you provide me the steps for this or if I missed any steps?
Steps to Replicate:
For the error: no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path
1) Install JDeveloper 11g (With embedded Weblogic Server)
2) Install Oracle 10g Client on the same machine
3) Create a database connection in the "Application Resources --> Connection"
4) Use OCI driver. Enter the host details about the Oracle 10g R1 database
5) Test connect to the database.

Note: Tried the same scenarios with Oracle 11gR2 client as well. It was not working at all.
Any ideas and pointers would be great.

1. will my problem get solved after i install oracle 11g client on my machine.Yes, your problem should get solved. The version of the Oracle 11g Client must match the version of the JDev's JDBC drivers. Alternatively you may install an Oracle 11g Client and replace JDev's Oracle JDBC drivers with these from the installed client. Please, read carefully my 1st posting above in this thread.
2. can i patch JDeveloper 11g on my machine to work with 10g client, or can i do the same with 10g client.You might succeed if you replace JDev's built-in JDBC drivers (which are 11g versions) with 10g versions, but I do not recommend you to try that because JDeveloper 11g and ADF 11g may be using some 11g features that do not exist in 10g drivers, so you may have problems.
I also have PLSql developer installed on my machine and it works well.PL/SQL Developer does not use JDBC drivers, so it is not an relevant example in this case.
My generall recommendation is to use Oracle JDBC Thin drivers. Oracle claimed that OCI drivers had better performance, but this was really true about earlier releases. Current Oracle 11g JDBC Thin drivers offer excellent performance and they offer all the features of the OCI versions (which was not true about earlier releases). In my opinion, the most important disadvantage of Oracle JDBC OCI drivers is that most versions have native memory leaks so all the RAM would get consumed after long application execution. The fact that WebLogic Server does not offer Oracle JDBC OCI drivers by default anymore says that Oracle discourages the usage of the OCI driver in favour of Thin driver.

Problem in database fields creation using default class of B1DE Wizard

Hi Experts
In an AddOn I am creating database fields in default class "Project_DB'. It does not give any message weather it creates fields or not. My code for database creation is given below
Namespace FormARE
    Public Class FormARE_Db
        Inherits B1Db
        Public Sub New()
            MyBase.New
            B1Connections.theAppl.StatusBar.SetText("Please wait. AddOn is updating database", BoMessageTime.bmt_Long, BoStatusBarMessageType.smt_None)
            Columns = New B1DbColumn() {New B1DbColumn("OCRD", "BondNo", "Bond No.", BoFieldTypes.db_Alpha, BoFldSubTypes.st_None, 20, New B1WizardBase.B1DbValidValue(-1) {}, -1), New B1DbColumn("OCRD", "BFrDate", "Bond From Date", BoFieldTypes.db_Date, BoFldSubTypes.st_None, 10, New B1WizardBase.B1DbValidValue(-1) {}, -1), New B1DbColumn("OCRD", "BTDate", "Bond To Date", BoFieldTypes.db_Date, BoFldSubTypes.st_None, 10, New B1WizardBase.B1DbValidValue(-1) {}, -1), New B1DbColumn("OINV", "Cntner_no", "Container No.", BoFieldTypes.db_Alpha, BoFldSubTypes.st_None, 20, New B1WizardBase.B1DbValidValue(-1) {}, -1), New B1DbColumn("OINV", "Cntnr_Seal", "Container Seal No.", BoFieldTypes.db_Alpha, BoFldSubTypes.st_None, 20, New B1WizardBase.B1DbValidValue(-1) {}, -1), New B1DbColumn("OINV", "Cust_Seal", "Custom Seal No.", BoFieldTypes.db_Alpha, BoFldSubTypes.st_None, 20, New B1WizardBase.B1DbValidValue(-1) {}, -1), New B1DbColumn("OINV", "ctryOrgn", "Country of Origin", BoFieldTypes.db_Alpha, BoFldSubTypes.st_None, 20, New B1WizardBase.B1DbValidValue(-1) {}, -1)}
            GC.Collect()
            B1Connections.theAppl.StatusBar.SetText("Successfully updated database", BoMessageTime.bmt_Short, BoStatusBarMessageType.smt_Success)
        End Sub
    End Class
End Namespace
It does not give first message. and second message come properly and immediately when I start the AddOn. I checked it makes all fields accuratly. But when I open the related form it gives error message "Data Source not found". I checked fields name are same as used in form and database .What can the reason? Should I use a simple function for creation of database fields which will run when a button is pressed? Is it fine to using default class for database fields creation?
Thanks
Best Regards
Jitender

I solved the problem.
Procedure I followed :
UNINSTALL ORACLE WRAEHOUSE BUILDER SOFTAWARE.
'GLOBAL_NAMES = FALSE' in init.ora file.
RESTARTED MY MACHINE.
INSTALL THE ORACLE WRAEHOUSE BUILDER SOFTAWARE.

Can we get database creation script using any packages?

Hi Friends,
we will get table creation script using dbms_metadata.get_ddl package. just like that is there any way to get database creation script? i know that we can add some lines to controlfile trace to convert it into database creation script. but i would like to know whether it is possible through packages?
thanks in advance.

I think there's no package to use it for getting database creation script. But anyway, you can search it in [Oracle Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/toc.htm]

Audit to Database using OCI conenction!

I need to audit to the database. Since my OAM servers are based on Linux I was using OCI connection. I was following http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28196_01/idmanage.1014/b25343/audit.htm#Auditing
And was trying to create a RDBMS profile and add an instance to the same when I get a DATABASE VALIDATION FAILED error. When I check back the logs it says Got a Clinet!
Client not Authenticated!!
My Database is on a different server made sure the listener is on. And the tnsnames.ora file on the OAM server reflects the one on Database server.
How do I make sure my configurations are correct so that I can resolve te issue adn audit to database.

I also see that there is a missing /nls/data where all *.nlb files are stored.
Do I need to set the ORA_NLS10 env variable??
