Database metadata - does it work in Oracle ?

I have logged previous entries regarding this subject all to no avail.
I am using Oracle 8.1.6, and the JDK 1.2 thin drivers.
I am attempting to read the metadata from the database for the user tables, however I keep getting SYSTEM tables as well.
I have been using the databasemetadata.getTables method with one of the parameters set to {"TABLE"}, this retrieves ALL tables including system tables.
When I try this with {"SYSTEM TABLE"} it returns NO entries at all. At least if this were to work, I could use the results to prune out the list I get back from the earlier call.
Is it not possible in Oracle (via the Oracle JDBC drivers) to get a list of user tables as opposed to system tables?
Both of these operations (i.e. USER versus SYSTEM) work perfectly in Sybase and SQL-Server, so I don't understand why it doesn't work in Oracle.
The Oracle JavaDoc for these methods actually refers to these specific values as well, suggesting that it should work - has anyone had any success with this ?
null

Please explain it does not work in APEX? Is the application updating tables that have a trigger? APEX does NOT override trigger actions. Is it possible the values your trigger is looking for are NOT available in your APEX application? Can you post the trigger code here for review?
Thank you,

Headstart forms - down key does not work in Oracle Forms 11g

Just moved forms from 10g to 11g.
But when run the down key does not work. The .res file looks OK.
I have included the hst65.jar in the search path for jar-files in formsweb.cfg.
Anybody had this isssue?

It was an erroneous .res-file! So problem solved. :-)

Ankh SVN does not work with Oracle DB Project in ODT 11.1.0.5.10 beta

I was able to add the new Oracle Database Project to my Subversion repository using TortioseSVN, but unfortunately, the Ankh Source Control options do not appear within Visual Studio and none of the icon overlays appear within Visual Studio.
Does anyone know any way to get this to work? Does anyone know if this would be an issue with Ankh or with the new Oracle Database Project?
null

Yes. Visual C# class projects work just fine with Ankh. It's only the new Oracle Database Project that doesn't have any Ankh menu options or Ankh icon overlays.
Check out this screenshot of my Visual Studio Solution explorer:
http://www.mixcollective.com/media/559/oracledbproject.jpg
You'll see that none of the folders under "Oracle.New" (a new 11.1.0.5.10 beta Oracle Db Project) have the green/read/yellow Ankh icons that indicate the status of the file. Also, none of the repository commit, update, etc options are available when you right click on folders or files in the project.

Does multilingual work with Oracle oci8 Driver? I am facing problems with oci8 while thin driver works fine ...

Hi, I am currently working on iPlanet 6.0 SP4 with oracle 8.1.6. I am planning to make my application language independent. while testing I figured out that if i use oci8 driver or oracle, it doesn't support other language characters while the thin driver supports fine. Can anybody help me regarding this? Is this a bug, or some possible configuration issue? Has somebody came across this problem before? How do i go about it ?

We faced same issue. Looks like the native driver does not support the automatic data encoding/decoding from/to database. You can always workaround this by reading everything as byte stream and then by letting java handle the encoding/decoding. But we decided to use type4 thin driver which does this automatically if you set the content type. Anyway we are told that later versions of IAS may not support native drivers, so if you are serious about multi language shift to type4 thin drivers now itself.

You need use correct type when you create object.
Don't forget object in reality is a memory pointer,
so what if you don't allocate correct memory in creation,
you can't treat object as subtype.
And meanwhile, it doesn't depend on Oracle version -
your example doesn't work in 9.2.0.1 for example.

Client-cert auth impl in web.xml does not work in Oracle Application Server

Hi,
I am new to implementing security features on the web applications.. I have developed a new web service using jdev1012 and deployed in OAS 10.1.2. Its working fine according to the business requirements, but I am in need of implementing client-cert authentication to enable the web service available to only those who have client certificate.
My server details are:
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)
Server certificate is in place and SSL mode have been already enabled.. able to access my web service through https://<mydomain.com>/myws/TreqWS as well able to see the WSDL file through https://<mydomain.com>/myws/TreqWS?WSDL.
I tried to include the following in my web.xml file as part of implementing CLIENT-CERT authentication.
<security-constraint>
<display-name>SecurityConstraint</display-name>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>WSCollection</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>CLIENT-CERT</auth-method>
<realm-name>WSCollection</realm-name> 
</login-config>
It is not woking as expected, though I have restarted my oc4j container after including this content to the web.xml file. i.e, I am able to invoke the web service though my sample java client program, though I donot have client certificate/keystore.
I believe I am missing something..Can anyone help me in this regard to implement CLIENT-CERT authentication successfully?
Thanks,
Ms

I am having the same problem with doc and xsl. I have added this
<mime-mapping>
<extension>xls</extension>
<mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>doc</extension>
<mime-type>application/msword</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
to my web.xml. I even restarted the server. I still see doc and xsl in binary.
Is there some other setting that needs to take place?
I am using WL6.1 with fixpack 1.
I can see the doc and excel files in the browser if I don't go through the weblogic
server. That just confirms it's not my browser.

If the following doesn't work , can you
 try application/winword instead of application/msword?

Ralink RA3290 does not work on Oracle Linux

I have just bought a new HP Pavilion G6-2213so which seems to have a ralink rt3290 wifi chipset
(Just so you know I'm not very experienced with linux when it comes to install new drivers etc)
I have installed:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.3 (Santiago)
Linux hp-v074617 2.6.39-300.17.2.el6uek.x86_64
I have downloaded a driver from mediatek, unzipped it and
ran
make
make install
modprobe rt3290sta
When I run i got

(Related to GPL I think but not sure if it has an impact)
To me it seemes that the system are aware of my wifi card but still I can not get any wifi connection
Apprecate if someone can tell me if I missed something or what other steps I need to do to make it work
Best regards

Support and demand for Wifi on a Linux enterprise server system (RHEL based) is generally limited and usually a desktop system requirement, for which other more suitable Linux distributions exist.
You need to be 100 % about the model of your Wifi adapter.
What is the output of lspci -v related to your Wifi adpater?
Does the driver you download support the Oracle UEK2 kernel (2.6.39)?
You could try your installation starting the system from the original RHEL kernel at the Grub menu to see if it makes any difference. If HP support nor the OS installation provides a driver for your hardware, check http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php which focuses on hardware related packages to enhance Enterprise Linux.

It's work perfect in Oracle 8.1.7, but I can not get result of the query in Oracle 9.
If I comment

then the query return a result.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Is there any enterprise class PHP framework that works with Oracle ?

Hi everyone,
I am investigating the possibility of using some kind of PHP framework that will help develop enterprise class web applications. -- something similar to Oracle's ADF for Java --
I have spend the last two weeks working with symfony which appears to be very attractive but does now work with Oracle. (Well at least I haven't been able to make it work).
So my question is what are you people using? I mean you can't go around witting PHP scripts that display HTML tables with embedded echo's in them, each time you want to display the results of a query...
Thanks in advance
Thanassis

There is Cake, but I have no experience. I wrote an article about Symfony, after I was tasked with maintaining a PHP application written with Symfony. A colleague has left the company and the application was given to me. Since then, I have left the company, so I am no longer in such close contact to PHP frameworks. The information about Cake can be found at http://cakephp.org. I have no experience whatsoever with it.

Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2: Does not work in Windows x64

Hi
I download a year ago oracle 10g and installed in windows7/64bit.
Then I messed up my computer. So I had to reinstall from scratch.
oracle 10g seems to be not available anymore.
Now 11g is available. But it says does not work in x64.
Can somebody explain this?
Thanks
Beat

Hi, and welcome to the OTN forums!
I download a year ago oracle 10g and installed in windows7/64bit.
Now 11g is available. But it says does not work in x64.Well, in fact, 10.2 XE wasn't certified for x64 either, not even for Linux x64...
11.2 XE has a Linux x86_64 release, and there has been an announcement that there'll be a x64 release for Windows as well, but it's not available (yet).
There have been a lot of reports that people got 11.2 XE work on x64 Windows machines as well, with a few tweaks at installation time and/or afterwards...
You'll find tons of posts on that topic when using forum search...
oracle 10g seems to be not available anymore.Right, the official downloads have been removed after all database 10.2 releases fell out of (regular) support.

Does BAM works with only Oracle database at the backend.

Hi, I was wondering if Oracle Bussiness Activity Monitor(BAM) implemented within ADF application works with Oracle database as Oracle database is one of the very few databases supporting Database Change Notification? Or can it be implemented using MySQL database etc.
Thanks!
Edited by: 996574 on Jun 3, 2013 2:06 PM

AFAIK only Oracle db supports Database Change Notification.
