Database-Name if known, title if not?

This may be a bit over my head, but...
I want to do a mail merge letter for the upcoming Christmas season. For some of the records in my database, I have the contact name, for some I have just the title.
In the merged letters, I would like the salutation to start off as "Dear Mr./Mrs. [contact name]" if i have their name. If I don't have the name, I would like it to leave off the Mr. or Mrs. and just insert the title, i.e. "Dear [title]."
I have a salutation field in my database to indicate Mr. or Mrs. for each record so that is not a problem.
If this is too advance for me I can just have them all say "Dear [title]," but inserting there name when known would be nicer.

Use a calculation type field to generate the data.
An example, where you have fields for 'salutation', 'contact name' and 'title', and the merge field is named 'greeting':
Formula for 'greeting':
="Dear "&IF(LEN('contact name')>0,'salutation'&" "&'contact name','title')

What is the sql query to know the database name having known table name?

plz give alternate solution.

Hi,
select * from information_schema.tables where table_name = 'articles'You are trying query view ( information_schema.tables ) from MSSQL on ORACLE??!!
Each RDBMS have your own data dictionary... you must check documention of ORACLE to query the properly data dictionary.
Try it:
select * from users_tables where table_name = 'articles'
or
select * from all_tables where table_name = 'articles'
or
select * from dba_tables where table_name = 'articles'http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25494/general011.htm#ADMIN11564

Changing Database name

hi every body,
Pl. Tell me ,how to change the database name so that when i query to the V$DATABASE view it should reflect the new database name .Changing the GLOBAL_NAME does not reflect changes in V$DATABASE view.
thanx in advance..

Hi,
1. make a ascii dump of your controlfile : alter database backup controlfile to trace ;
2. shutdown your database
3. export ORACLE_SID=NEW_DB
4. edit your init.ora and change db_name and instance_name parameter (rename your initOLD_DB.ora to initNEW_DB.ora)
5. edit the file generated by (1) and change
CREATE CONTROLFILE...
to
CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "NEW_DB" RESETLOGS...
6. Re-create the controlfiles and all will be ok :-)

hey there !!

let me tell u whole scenario for how i reach to this error - ORA-01103: database name 'ORDB' in control file is not 'ORCL'
-installed new 11g ( test/ practice environment )
-by default database created 'ORCL' while installation
-created another instance 'ORDB' ( my aim was to create auxiliary database/duplicate database )
-done well according to oracle documents and SUCESSFULLY created a duplicated database
-i thot of sycnronization to auxiliary to target db , so i read docs and learn that you can issue
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO dupdb ( its an oracle Doc's exmple so i put my db name and path accordingly )
SKIP TABLESPACE tools

I feel like something BUG because this happned to me 5th time , in that 5 times 4 times i got this error while i was duplicating a database . and also after sucessfully duplicated DB ( that was 5th time )
Thanks

How can I get Data Guard to see the standby database correctly again?

Thank you for the constructive feedback. I have been able to make progress on this issue.
I did check the Data Guard Log files as you suggested. I did not find anything when I checked them before but this time I found the following:

I also checked the listener log file and did see and error associated with a known bug:

So I added the following to the listener.ora file and bounced the listener:

That seems to have taken care of the error.

Error: The specified mailbox database [Mailbox Database Name] does not exist, when you try to export mailbox in Exchange 2007

[Symptom]
======================
In Exchange 2007, when you want to export mailbox to a .pst file, you should run the
Export-Mailbox cmdlet from a 32-bit computer that has the following installed:
The 32-bit version of the Exchange management tools
Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 SP2 or later versions
If not, you may encounter the following error message:
You check that you have these required installed, but you get the error below when you run Export-Mailbox in EMS.
“The specified mailbox database [Mailbox Database Name] does not exist.”
[Cause Analysis]
=======================================
This is because that the account you use to run Export-Mailbox cmdlet don’t have the Exchange Server Administrator role assigned.
You can check if this account has been delegated the Exchange Server Administrator role through the following path.
EMC -> Organization Configuration-> Check permissions in the result pane.
To delegate this Exchange Server Administrator role, right click on the
Organization Configuration node and choose Add Exchange Administrator,
you will see the Add Exchange Administrator window.

Hi,
Based on my test, if you make the user the owner of the database (rather than a user with the db_owner role), when you create a query, it creates it under the dbo schema rather than DOMAIN\username.
Steps to do so (in Management Studio):
Right click database, select Properties
Click File
Change Owner in the textbox
OK to confirm
Downside - other users under db_owner role will still have their username appended. So schemas have to be created for these users.

I purchasd an ITune Audio Book using a borrowed Windows Computer. After the Download I attempted to Sync and was told that I was synced to a different [something]. It then asked if I wanted to sync to this [Something] I said yes. IT wiped all the stuff off my IPod then gave the following message:
The [title] was not copied to the iPod [name] becuse you are not authorized for it on this computer.
How can I get this to work?
It considered the computer pretty acceptable when it took my money for the title. I think I have been ripped off.
THis whole SYNC is an innecessay step. Why can't I just download stuff to my iPod (from any sourch by the way) and delete it from my iPod when I don't want it any more.

Hello LeaMinovitch,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still authorize your computer.
In some cases, iTunes may ask you to authorize the computer again. iTunes should use the same authorization as before if the computer is in your list of authorized computers.
Learn what to do if iTunes repeatedly asks you to authorize when you try to play your content.
Best of luck,
Mario

Can not connect the database via query string (C#). The SQL Server Management Studio is showing the full path of a location instead of database name.

I can not connect to the database via C#. The database is showing full path of the database file instead of the database name. See the pic: a database showing only name 'emart' and the other database showing the full path.

Hi,
According to your post, I know that the database name is showing file path of the database rather than the database name in SQL Server Management Studio. You were not able to
establish a connection to the database using C#.
As Olaf said, was any error message thrown out when the connection failed? How did you create these databases?
You can use the following T-SQL to attach the database and see if the issue persists.
CREATE DATABASE
databasename
ON (FILENAME = 'filepath _Data.mdf'),
(FILENAME = 'filepath_Log.ldf')
FOR ATTACH;
Thanks.

ORA-01503 ORA-01161 While creating a clone database. [ID 294555.1]
Edited by: Chinar on Jun 20, 2010 3:52 AM

ORA-01504: database name 'DEV1' does not match parameter db_name 'PROD1'

Hi, All -
This is my first time cloning a database. The recovery finished but gave me the following error message. All the parameters in the pfile are set to "DEV1". I believe that the parameter db_name 'PROD1' exists in the control file and causing this error. The control file is under ASM.
How can I change the parameter in the control file and bring the 'DEV1' cloned database up? Also, how can I avoid this issue next time I do a clone?
Thanks in advance!

Help for: ORA-01103: database name PRIMARY in control file is not STANDBY

Hello all, this will be my first post to the support forum. I'm an associate dba with just 6 months on the job, so if I've forgotten something or not given some infromation that is needed please let me know.
I've also combed the forums/internet, and some of the answers haven't helped. The Oracle Document ORA-1103 While Mounting the Database Using PFILE [ID 237073.1] says my init.ora file is corrupted, but creating a new init.ora file from the spfile does not help. Neither does just starting from the spfile. I have older copies of the init.ora file and the spfiles that the database was running on previously, so I believe they are good.
This standby NIRNASD1 has existed previously, I had to refresh the primary NIKNASD2, and then re-instantiate NIRNASD1 after the refresh is complete.
My env is set correctly, and my ORACLE_SID has been exported to NIRNASD1
NIKNASD2 = Primary Database
NIRNASD1 = Secondary/Standby Database
Goal: Creation of Logical Standby NIRNASD1 after creating Physical Standby from NIKNASD2
My database versions are 10.2.0.4.0, and the databases are on a Unix server. Both databases are located on separate servers.
Steps that I have taken:
I used RMAN to backup our primary database to the staging area:
$ rman target /
run {
backup database
format '/datatransa/dg_stage/%U'
include current controlfile for standby;
sql "alter system archive log current";
backup archivelog all format '/datatransa/dg_stage/%U';
I used RMAN to Create Secondary Database utilizing RMAN DUPLICATE command.
RMAN> run {
2> allocate auxiliary channel auxdisk device type disk;
3> duplicate target database for standby NOFILENAMECHECK;
4> }
On Secondary database I started Managed Recovery mode
SQL> shutdown immediate;
ORA-01109: database not open
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
(I used pfile here, thinking that I needed to mount the database to the pfile so that the database would see the change in the dataguard parameters in the init.ora file, the change from logical to physical- I commeneted out the logical and uncommented the physical line)
# Dataguard Parameters
For logical standby, change db_name to name of standby database.
db_name=NIKNASD2 ### for physical, db_name is same as primary
#db_name=NIRNASD1 ### for logical, db_name is same as unique_name
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT PFILE = /oraa/app/oracle/product/1020/admin/NIRNASD1/pfile/initNIRNASD1.ora;
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 1577058304 bytes
Fixed Size 2084368 bytes
Variable Size 385876464 bytes
Database Buffers 1174405120 bytes
Redo Buffers 14692352 bytes
Database mounted.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE recover managed standby database using current logfile disconnect;
I then verified the Data Guard Configuration by using “alter system archive log current;” on the primary database and watching the sequence number change in the secondary database.
I made sure that:
•     The primary database was in MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE MODE
•     Stopped managed recover on the standby database: alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
•     Built a logical standby data dictionary on the primary database
•     The db_name in init.ora was changed (this is in our document at my job)
•     I changed my database name (from physical to logical) in my init.ora pfile (reverse of what I did above)
# Dataguard Parameters
For logical standby, change db_name to name of standby database.
#db_name=NIKNASD2 ### for physical, db_name is same as primary
db_name=NIRNASD1 ### for logical, db_name is same as unique_name
I then went to shutdown my standby database and re-start it in a mount exclusive state, which is where I get the ORA-01103 Error (Again I used the pfile, thinking that I needed to tell the database it is now a logical standby):
SQL> shutdown immediate;
ORA-01109: database not open
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> STARTUP EXCLUSIVE MOUNT PFILE = /oraa/app/oracle/product/1020/admin/NIRNASD1/pfile/initNIRNASD1.ora;
ORACLE instance started.

Fixed Size 2084368 bytes
Variable Size 385876464 bytes
Database Buffers 1174405120 bytes
Redo Buffers 14692352 bytes
ORA-01103: database name 'NIKNASD2' in control file is not 'NIRNASD1'
From what I understand of the process, the name in the control file is correct, I want it to be NIRNASD1. But the database for some reason thinks it should be NIKNASD2. The following are the parts of my init.ora file that include the dataguard parameters:
# Database Identification
db_domain=""
#db_name=NIRNASD1
#db_unique_name=NIRNASD1
# File Configuration
control_files=("/oradba2/oradata/NIRNASD1/control01.ctl", "/oradba3/oradata/NIRNASD1/control02.ctl", "/oradba4/oradata/NIRNASD1/control03.ctl")
# Instance Identification
instance_name=NIRNASD1
# Dataguard Parameters
#db_name=NIKNASD2 ### for physical, db_name is same as prmary
db_name=NIRNASD1 ### for logical, db_name is same as unique_name
db_unique_name=NIRNASD1
dg_broker_start=TRUE
db_file_name_convert='NIKNASD2','NIRNASD1'
log_file_name_convert='NIKNASD2','NIRNASD1'
log_archive_config='dg_config=(NIRNASD1,NIKNASD2)'
log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION="/oraarcha/NIRNASD1/" valid_for=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,all_roles) db_unique_name=NIRNASD1'
#log_archive_dest_2='LOCATION="/oraarcha/NIKNASD2/" valid_for=(standby_logfiles,standby_roles) db_unique_name=NIRNASD1'
log_archive_dest_2='LOCATION="/oraarcha/NIKNASD2/" valid_for=(standby_logfile,standby_role) db_unique_name=NIRNASD1'
STANDBY_ARCHIVE_DEST='LOCATION=/oraarcha/NIKNASD2/'
# Parameters are not needed since this server will NOT become primary
#log_archive_dest_2='service=NIKNASD2
# valid_for=(online_logfiles,primary_role)
# db_unique_name=NIKNASD2'
fal_server='NIKNASD2'
fal_client='NIRNASD1'
I would appreciate any help, or pointing me in the right direction. I'm just missing something. I am reviewing the documents for building a physical and logical standby from oracle. Just not sure where to go from here.
Thank you

First of all, thank you both for answering my post. I've pulled up Mr. Hesse's page and will make it a go-to staple.
We're in the process of upgrading our databases, but we have 130+ databases and only six Oracle dba's, and I'm one of them. It's a large corporation, and things move at a "slow and tested" pace.
The pfile parameters listed above are from my secondary/standby database. And I do want to create a logical standby.
I forgot to mention that we do use DataGuard Broker, but I did not think that would be the cause of why the database was starting up incorrectly, so I did not mention it. My apologies there.
As far as the db_name, here's my question on that. It's my understanding the the db_name should be the name of the primary database when you are working with a physical standby, but as soon as you convert it to logical, you should change the db_name to the secondary/standby database? Am I correct on that?
Leading from that, during the process of creating the physical standby and converting the physical standby to the logical standby, should I change the db_name in the secondary/standby database in the spfile and never use the pfile at all? For instance, when I create the physical standby I have to change the db_name in the standby to the PRIMARY database, so that makes me think I should change db_name in the spfile? (If you see above, I changed db_name in the pfile and did a startup pfile)
This morning I was able to reach out to a fellow DBA (they are were asleep when I posted this last night), and they tried a few things. We had a redirect in the standby directory /oraa/app/oracle/product/1020/dbs folder that looked like this: spfileNIRNASD1.ora -> /oraa/app/oracle/product/1020/admin/NIRNASD1/pfile/spfileNIRNASD1.ora
She removed the redirect and the startup mount exclusive then worked without the error.
Thank you again for your help Mr.Quluzade and Mr. Hesse, I appreciate you all taking the time to teach someone new to the craft. I will definitely read up on the link that you sent me.

Webi Refreshing Error :database name not found and no default driver specified

Hi All,
When I refreshing the webi report from Launchpad getting bellow error
"database name not found and no default driver specified"
Bellow is the Screen shot
It is refreshing in webi Rich client (server and client tools are in same system) but not from Launch pad
1. Environment :BI 4.0 SP4
2. Server and client tools are installed in same system
3. Created a 32 bit odbc, universe connection is responding properly and report refreshing in rich client(I could not find 64 bit odbc) .
Can Please suggest me where I am doing wrong
Regards,
Mahi

Hi Mahi,
Seems like your BO server is 64 bits and you have created a 64 bits DSN; whereas your database requires 32 bits DSN.
Try below steps:
1. Navigate to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory and open odbcad32.exe. This will open the ODBC Data Source Administrator for 32-bit drivers on the 64-bit server. NOTE: The ODBC Data Source Administrator that is located by clicking Start and Administrative Tools will only create 64-bit ODBC connections.
2. Click on the System DSN tab
3. Click on Add to create a new Data Source
4. Provide the database details
5. Your 32-bit ODBC data source is now ready for use.
Hope it will help.
Regards,
Yuvraj

Searching by artist name does not show songs with artists name in song title

If i search by an artist's name in itunes, it does not display songs by a different artist that have the artist's name in the song title, such as remixes that have a parenthesis, then the searched artist's name after with no space in between, like it used to. For example, I searched "Munchi" (artist name), and it showed songs listing munchi as the artist, but not songs with munchi in the title. In the old itunes, if I searched "munchi", the list of songs would include the song Chicken Lover (Munchi likes 'em fried moombahton remix), which is a song by the artist "bassanova", but now that song and songs like that (remixes) in which the artist im searching has their name in the song title but not as the song artist, are not included. This is a serious problem for me as it leaves out alot of songs which the searched artist has collaborated on out. In the old itunes i would get a list of any song which had the word "munchi" in any field, whether or not the word munchi had any letters or symbols before or after it.

Database-Name if known, title if not?
