Database design for multiple users/connections

Hello All,
My questions are about overall design/strategy of the database.
We are using Oracle 9.2.0 on AIX as a backend for a ColdFusion application. When deployed, the CF app and Oracle will be running on our customer's server, with the customer's various physical locations accessing the server remotely. The customer will manage the oracle database on their server.
With the potential for approximately 70 locations remotely accessing the database at the same time, each remote location will only be selecting and updating their own records out of any table -- i.e. each record contains an indexed "location id" -- although inserting would be a different story.
Would creating views provide the data manipulation performance the users would need? Or perhaps individual schemas with individual tables/indexes for each location id? Or should we consider separate databases?
Does anybody have any ideas or practical suggestions about how to approach this? Are there other considerations that we should be thinking about?
Please let me know if I have not provided enough information. Your comments/criticisms are greatly appreciated.
Louise

Creating views: not an option I think. It would involve a lot of programming with 'instead of' triggers etc.
Seperate databases: a good way if the locations are completely independant and do not share information. This involves more DBA work.
Separate schema's in one database: this would make public synonyms impossible, and is probably not a good option.
Adding a location id to tables: the best way I think, and flexible. You can easily add another location, and locations can easily share information.

  • How to make Adobe acrobat feature to convert SAP  Pages to PDF available for multiple users connected to the same Citrix server

    Hi,
    In my previous endeavours to solve this business requirement where multiple users will be able to use the Adobe acrobat feature to convert SAP pages inside SAP to PDF, I was told that it is not possible to do this for multiple users at the same time. However I have found an article according to which it says it is possible. Could you check it once and let me know if this article can be used for implementing the requirement stated above as this link clearly indicates that Adobe Acrobat is supported on Citrix.
    Please find the link below where it states it is adobe acrobat is supported in Citrix for multiple users.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/citrix.html.

    1. What is the Acrobat feature that you mean? There's nothing specific to SAP included with Acrobat.
    2. Yes, some Terminal Server configurations appear supported (check carefully). All users of the terminal server will need a license, so far as I know - total licenses = total individual people using.

  • Database Design for Multiple function site

    Hi
    I am working on one project which involve multiple function
    site, such as
    Company Product Catelog, Customer Support Forum, Document
    Exchange Engine and
    etc...
    Normally we will combine ALL TABLEs into one DATABASE.
    My question are:
    1) Is my break them to individual DATABASE, will it perform
    better?
    Means Product Catelog and Forum will have different
    DATABASE, but they
    will using the same DOMAIN NAME.
    2) I am worried about the break down and corruption of
    DATABASE, so I have the
    idea to separate them out. Are my idea correct or wrong?
    3) I am seeking for better DATABASE DESIGN, because I know
    the database will
    become huge in future. I request for your idea and opinion.
    Thank you very much.

  • How to make Adobe acrobat feature to convert SAP  Pages to PDF available for multiple users connected to the same server

    We have installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro- English,Francais,Deutsch version 10.1.9 in our test environment and tried  testing it for converting SAP pages into PDF with a few pilot users. In doing so we faced a challenge, where only one user at a time can use Adobe Acrobat PRO to convert SAP pages in to PDF.As long as the first user who  is connected to Adobe Acrobat Pro via SAP isn’t logged off, other users connected to the same  server  are not being able to get the “Save As” dialog box to save the PDF in their preferred location.
    This is a business requirement and we need an urgent solution for the same. Can anyone help us in telling us if this is possible and if yes the how to go about?

    It's not something we deal with here, the LiveCycle products are a different world. Key points: Adobe LiveCycle is a range of products, some desktop, some server. LiveCycle PDF Generator is the one you should look at, it comes in 3 editions. License terms are by negotiation. Key management is via its Java API.

  • Design forms for multiple users

    Dear sir
    I am developing new application for my company.I don't know how to desing the the tables for multiple users and how to give rights to users to access certain forms.This application will use in two differnet languages.
    how to switch one language to other languages
    give me some ideas
    thanks
    Dev

    ...how to desing the the tables for multiple users and how to give rights to users to access certain forms.
    There are several ways to do this. One way is to create different database accounts for each user, and give each user priviledges to the tables they need. (Your DBA may need to do this.) Then, when the users logs in, check who it is and call the appropriate form.
    how to switch one language to other languages
    This is a common question. See Experts Experience Required: Direction In 10g or search the forum for additional help.

  • Can we creat an Apple ID for multiple users?

    I work for a company where we are rolling out iPads in big amounts. The problem is that they all need an Apple ID in the training they get about the iPad they receive because they have to install MobiControl on it.
    It's no problem to let them create an Apple ID at home, but they have to fill in credit card numbers once they connect at work when they try to install apps. That's the problem... Not everyone want's or has credit cards...
    Maybe it's possible to create an Apple ID for multiple users???
    Thanks!

    iPad in Business and Education
    You may find a better answer in this part of the forum, since it's meant for situations like you're in.
    http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
    is also info about apple ID's.
    You can make apple ID's without a credit card, you just have to jump through a couple of hoops to do it since the default is that people will always give a credit card. The key to making an ID without a credit card is that you try to download a free app first, then follow the 'make an ID' prompt. That will get you the 'none' option for payment.

  • How to provide access to multiple users connected to a Dumb switch? (multi-auth/multi-domain)

    Good morning everybody,
    I am writing on behalf of not being able to implement a desired outcome in our company network. In fact the situation is as follows:
    What I want to do is to be able to authenticate users (802.1x authentication) in our company radius server and authorize them access by having a dynamic VLAN assignment in a multi-user environment on one and the same port of a Cisco 2960 switch. So far, the authentication and authorization has been working completely smoothly (there are no problems with itself). The concept involves the configuration of both DATA and VOICE VLANs as I there is also phone authentication implemented. In order to simulate this environment I introduce a Dumb switch connected to my Cisco 2960 Catalyst.
    What I have successfully managed to get to work so far is this:
    1) On one switch port I have tried the “authentication host-mode multi-domain” and it worked perfectly for a PC behind a telephone, or with one PC connected to a the dumb switch + the telephone connected to another port of the dumb switch. Logically it is the same situation as there is a separation in two domains – DATA and VOICE. Bellow is an output from show authentication sessions for this scenario.
    Interface  MAC Address     Method   Domain   Status         Session ID          
    Fa0/23     0021.9b62.b79b  dot1x    DATA     Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
    Fa0/23     0015.655c.b912  dot1x    VOICE    Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
    2) On the other hand, when I try the same scenario with the “authentication host-mode multi-auth”, the switch still separates the traffic in two domains and is able to authenticate all users, AS LONG AS they are in the same VLAN.
    show authentication sessions:
    Interface  MAC Address     Method   Domain   Status         Session ID          
    Fa0/23     0021.9b62.b79b  dot1x    DATA     Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
    Fa0/23     b888.e3eb.ebac   dot1x    DATA     Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F8008C (user2)
    Fa0/23     0015.655c.b912  dot1x    VOICE    Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
    However, I cannot succeed authentication of many users from DIFFERENT VLANs, neither in multi-auth nor in multi-domain modes.
    What I want to get is an output like this:
    Interface  MAC Address     Method   Domain   Status         Session ID          
    Fa0/23     0021.9b62.b79b  dot1x    DATA     Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
    Fa0/23     b888.e3eb.ebac dot1x    DATA     Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F8008C (user2)
    Fa0/23     0015.655c.b912  dot1x    VOICE    Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
    I want the switch to authenticate the users anytime they connect to itself and for them to have an instant access to the network. (I tell this because I tried scenario 1) with multi-domain mode and authentication violation replace, and it worked but, two users never had access to the “Internet” simultaneously!!!
    The configuration of the interface connected to the Dumb switch is as follows.
    interface FastEthernet0/x                                                      
     description Connection to DUMBswitch                                            
     switchport mode access                                                         
     switchport voice vlan XXX                                                      
     switchport port-security maximum 10                                            
     switchport port-security                                                       
     switchport port-security violation protect                                     
     authentication host-mode multi-auth                                            
     authentication priority dot1x                                                  
     authentication port-control auto                                               
     authentication timer reauthenticate 4000                                       
     authentication violation replace                                               
     dot1x pae authenticator                                                        
     dot1x timeout tx-period 10                                                     
     spanning-tree portfast                                                         
    The way I see it is explained in the following steps:
    - PC1 connects to the Dumb switch. This causes the Cisco switch to authenticate user1. This creates an auth. session with its MAC address linked to a domain DATA.
    - When PC2 connects to the Dumb switch, this causes the violation replace which replaces the recent authenticated MAC address with the MAC of PC2. I would like it once authenticated to appear in the authentication sessions with a link to a new DATA domain linked to the VLAN assigned from the RADIUS server.
    Is this possible? I think (in theory) this is the only way to provide authenticated access to multiple users connecting through Dumb switch to the network.
    Has anybody ever succeeded in such a configuration example and if yes, I would be love to get some help in doing so?
    Thank you
    Stoimen Hristov

    Hi Stoimen,
    I have done a setup similar to yours with the only exception being VLAN assignment. When I used dACLs only, it makes things somewhat easier as the VLAN no longer matters. Remember that the switchport is in access mode and will only allow a single VLAN across it (with the exception of the voice VLAN). I think that is the real cause of your problem.
    From what I can see, you have 2 options available to you:
    1) Use dACLs instead of VLAN assignment. This means that an access list will be downloaded from the radius server straight to the authenticated user's session. I have tested this and it works perfectly. Just Google Cisco IBNS quick reference guide and look for the section that deals with Low Impact mode.
    2) Get rid of the dumb switches and use managed switches throughout your network. Dumb switches will always be a point of weakness in your network because they have no intelligence to do advanced security features like port security, 802.1x, DHCP snooping, etc.
    Hopefully someone else will chime in with another option.

  • One skype number for multiple users in Skype Manag...

    Is it possible to get one Skype-in phone number and assign it to multiple members in Skype Manager?
    If so, how do I go about it?
    I also asked this here: http://community.skype.com/t5/Skype-Number/One-skype-number-for-multiple-users-in-Skype-Manager/m-p/...

    You could always allocate a number to multiple business accounts in Skype Manager. Then re-direct the number via IP-PBX to go to different extensions.
    Try the following here [If you look in the advanced section of this manual, you'll see an example of two accounts using one number]

  • Simulate Multiple users connecting to same session

    Hi All,
    Is there anyway we can simulate multiple users connecting to the same session in oracle using PL/SQL.
    Thanks,
    MK.

    As per the architects in our company, lots of users connect to the same session and access the database.Exactly what does this mean? A single session can service one user at a time. I would wager that the architects are envisioning (or describing) a connection pooling setup where the middle tier server maintains a relatively small number of connections to the database (each with its own session most likely) and users operate by getting a connection from the pool, making a request, and returning the connection back to the pool. At any given point, only one user can be using a connection.
    If that's the case, you would simulate this by simply executing code in a loop in PL/SQL.
    Of course, if this is the case, each connection in the connection pool would its own copy of the collection and so each connection would get its own list of order numbers. You'd have to develop some way to ensure that each session populated its collection with a different set of order numbers.
