Parse/search for the substring "DATABASE=".
HTH, best regards

How can I get a list of database names from environment

Hi,
How can I get a list of database names from environment.
I had found a method in JE API Docs named Environment.getDatabaseNames(), and i couldn't found the same method in Berkeley DB.
I use java interface, is it supported?
Thanks.

Hello,
I don't know if it would work for you, but have you checked the db_archive utility at:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17076_01/html/api_reference/C/db_archive.html
Check the -s option.

Views to check the catalog database name from target database.

Hi,
Please help me to find view to check the catalog database name which is connected to my target database because I am new to the current environment where I am working now and the previous DBA have done the set up having 2 catalog database. I want view to check from target database, which can show the catalog database name to which it is connected to.
We can check the catalog database name from the following ways but I want views to check it from target database.
1.TNSnames.ora
2.Any backup script connecting to catalog database.
3.From catalog database we can use rc_database view to check the databases registered with the catalog database.

Please help me to find view to check the catalog database name which is connected to my target databaseYou can check for any RMAN backup jobs that been scheduled on the server.
In the scheduled script check rman command.
You can then identify the database alias (of the catalog db) that is used in the rman backup script.
Once you have found the database alias, check for the database alias entry in tnsnames.ora file present in your target database server.
Once the entry is found, you can find the IP address and catalog db name from the tns entry.

How to get the system property - user.name from a client system

Hi All,
I have an application which would enable active users from the domain of the company. I want to get the name of the client from the system. I tried to run it on the local machine from Jdeveloper, it returned me the correct user name. But when the application is deployed on the Oracle Application server, and i hit the URL of the application, it returns the server URL.
I understand that the JSP works on the server side here but help me out to get a solution. I want to read the user name from the client side.
Thanks in advance!
Akhil

Akhil,
I hope this will never work. Think about your requirement for a second....
This would mean an application is able to see my user credentials without my knowledge. It's bad enough the know my IP if I'm not using TOR.
To get your requirement to work you have to redefine it a bit. The user have to log in to your application. The application holds the name together with an ID of the session to know the user in further requests.
Thats a basic security theme, described in the dos [Adding Security to a Fusion Web Application|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/web.1111/b31974/adding_security.htm] .

How to remove database name from SQL query

We have an MS SQL server with several databases that are of the same schema but have different data. We do this for testing different environments. We are using Crystal reports for the first time and we are having trouble changing the database location in the designer. If update the data source location to the same database server, but different database name, the data still comes from the original database used when creating the report. We look at the SQL query and it contains the database name and does not change when updating the data source. Therefore the data always comes from the database used when originally creating the report.
How can I remove the database name from the SQL query so the proper database is used when testing the report?

Hi C F
Please ensure you have followed the procedure mentioned below:
In Crystal Reports, there are two ways to set the location of the data source your report points to, depending on your connection type.
For ODBC and Native Connections:
1. On the 'Database' menu, click 'Set Datasource Location'.
2. In the 'Current Data Source' section, click the data source to be changed. You must click each individual table in the data source one by one. If the data source is a stored procedure you will not see individual tables.
NOTE In Crystal Reports 10, XIR1, and XIR2, if you are mapping from a data source such as a stored procedure where the report designer can not determine which fields should be mapped automatically, you will see a 'Mapping' dialog box where you can manually map fields, as in the procedure cited above.
3. In the 'Replace with' section, click the data source you want the report to use.
4. Click 'Update'.
5. Close the 'Set Datasource Location' window.
The report now points to the new location.
For Native Connections Only:
1. On the 'Database' menu, click 'Set Datasource Location'.
2. In the 'Current Data Source' section, click 'Properties' to expand it and right-click 'Database Name: <path to database>'.
3. Click 'Edit' and then type the path to the
new data source location.
4. Close the 'Set Datasource Location' window.
The report now points to the new location.

Query to identify the recovery catalog database name from target database

Hi,
How to get the recovery catalog database name from the registered target database?
i dont know my recovery catalog database for my target database.
I know we can use the query
select * from rc_database;
from recovery catalog database to know all the registered database with the recovery catalog but I want to know is there any way or query to identify the recovery catalog database name from target database to which the target database is registered
With Regards

You can check the backup scripts which you use to backup your target database to get the catalog database name.
And check the corresponding connect string in TNSNAMES.ORA file or tnsping to get the server details of the catalog database.

Issues on exporting the report to Excel from full client BO 5.1

Hi,
I am facing a problem in exporting the BO report from Business Objects 5.1 to excel file. I am aware that there is no direct way to export the BO report to Excel from Business Objects(File--> save as to .txt file and then copy its data to excel )
When the export the BO report to excel file,I received two errors one over other
error1: Numeric data overflow (3349)
When I click OK button, second error received is like this
error2:export failed (dma0005)
I tried all options to fix this and also I looked for an dialog box " export to external file format " in Business Objects inorder to copy the report data to COPY TO DDE option but I didn't find any aforementioned dialog box
Please provide me the solution to fix the issues
Kind Regards,
Srinivas

Hi Denis,
Yes,all reports based on this particular universe have this problem
Are you telling me to isolate the object from the universe that is creating problems and then run the report ?
Also, I am unable to find the option from menu items in Full client BO 5.1 to open the dialog box with name " export to external file format ". Can you please tell me where I can find this?
Warm Regards,
Srinivas

Oracle command line to connect to a database directly from a client machine

Hi,
I need to connect from a Client machine to a database present on the Database server.
Client: Windows 7 32 bit/ 64 bit
Server where DB is installed: Windows 2008, Oracle 11.xg
I need a command line option that will connect to a database say 'Test' from the command line. I want to put that command in a batch file / exe and call it from there.
I have tools like SQL Developer and dbForge but was unable to do it. Could I have some help on this.
I am a fresher with Oracle and I would appreciate detailed steps. Thanks very much in advance.
Vincent

Vincent,
There is a few steps you want to perform, first of all tell me where is your client database server and where you want command line to use Oracle SQL command line.

View to Find Primary database name from Standby

Is there any way(view) we can find the primary standby database name and it's host from the standy database.
Thanks,

V$DATABASE holds the Database Name and this would be the same on the Standby as on the Primary -- at least would be the same for a Physical Standby, I haven't done or verified a Logical Standby with a different DB_NAME.
However, the Host name is not a property of the database but of the instance -- an RAC database can have instances running on multiple hosts. Therefore, the HOSTNAME is always in V$INSTANCE only -- and that, of course, is different on the Standby then on the Primary.

Retrieve file name from full file path

I am trying to retrieve a file name from a path (ex. c:\temp\tes.txt) using the following code, but it is given me an error of "The method split(String) in the type String is not applicable for the arguments (char).
{code}
String filepath = item.getName();
String[] buf = filepath.split('/');
String filename = buf[buf.length-1];
{code}
I tried to use double quote instead of single quote, but it is not returning anything.
{code}
String[] buf = filepath.split("/");
{code}
Anyone knows why? Thanks.

How is this related to JDBC?
Anyway, is the path separator actually a forward slash? Isn't it a backward slash?
If you're using Apache Commons FileUpload (which I guess, the 'item.getName()' is recognizeable), then just read their FAQ: [http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/faq.html#whole-path-from-IE].

Hide database names from unauthroized users in SSMS

If a user is not authorized to see a database can I exclude that database from even appearing in Management Studio for that user
TIA,
Barkingdog

This is what I ended up doing:
--SQL 2005
If @@version like 'Microsoft SQL Server 2005%'
Begin -- Create Login only if it doesn't exist:
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.server_principals WHERE [name] = @Username)
Begin
Set @dsql ='create login ' + @Username + ' with password = N'''+ REPLACE(@password, '''', '''''') + ''', DEFAULT_DATABASE=' + QUOTENAME(@DBName) + ', CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF'
execute (@dsql)
set @dsql = 'use master; GRANT CONNECT SQL TO ' + QUOTENAME(@DBName)
execute( @dsql )
End
--Deny ability to see anything other than master, tempdb and user database.
Set @dsql = 'use master; deny VIEW any DATABASE to ' + @Username
--Print @dsql
execute (@dsql)
End
--Add user as dbo to database.
Set @dsql = @DBName + '.dbo.sp_changedbowner ' + @Username
--Print @dsql
execute (@dsql)
But, I don't think you can grant multiple user's to DBO, so you will only have one user that can see master, temp, and their database.
