Database names in a combobox

Hi Everybody,
I really need your help!!!
I'm wondering if it's possible in Java to read all the database names that are installed in the computer. For example, I have about 3 databases in DB2 with the names: AAA, BBB, CCC and I want to put these names in a Combobox so that I can choose to which one to connect.
Connecting to the database or adding Items to the Combobox is not a problem , but I don't know how to get the names dynamically, I mean to avoid writing the names of the databases in a file.
Thanks in advance for any help
alina

IF your DB2 JDBC driver supports it then you can use java.sql.DatabaseMetaData to get the names of databases. Use the method getCatalogs()

Variable database name in SQL Server query using Oracle database link

Hi All,
I have an ApEx 4.1 app running on 11g x64 (11.2.0.1) on Windows Server 2008 x64, and I have some data integration points with a SQL Server (2005 and 2008) that I need to establish. I have configured the database link with dg4odbc and it works beautifully... I can execute queries against the SQL Server database without any problems using the database link.
However, there is a scenario where the SQL Server database name is dynamic, and I need to generate it on the fly in a PL/SQL block, and then use that in a dynamic SQL query (all of this in ApEx). This is where I run into problems... when I am querying the default database based on the ODBC connection and I don't have to specify the database name, there is no issue. But when I need to access one of several other non-default databases, I keep receiving the "invalid table" error.
This runs fine:* (note that "fv" is the name of my database link)
v_query1 := 'select "ReleaseDate" from dbo.Schedules@fv where dbo.Schedules."SchedID" = :schedule';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_query1 into rel_date using schedule;
I then take that rel_date variable, convert to a varchar2 (rel_date_char), and then use it as the database name in the next query...
This returns an error_ (Error ORA-00903: invalid table name)
v_query2 := 'select "PARTNO" from :rel_date_char.dbo.ProdDetails@fv where "SchedID" = :schedule and "UnitID" = :unit
and "MasterKey" = :master and "ParentKey" = :parent';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_query2 into part_number using schedule, unit, master, parent;
I have also tried using all of the following to no avail:
'select "PARTNO" from ' || :rel_date_char || '.dbo.ProdDetails@fv where "SchedID"...
'select "PARTNO" from ' || rel_date_char || '.dbo.ProdDetails@fv where "SchedID"...
'select "PARTNO" from ' || @rel_date_char || '.dbo.ProdDetails@fv where "SchedID"...
'select "PARTNO" from @rel_date_char.dbo.ProdDetails@fv where "SchedID"...
Is there a way to do this in PL/SQL?
Thanks for any help!

=> instead of executing the statement using "execute Immediate" we have to use PASTHROUGH package to pass the statement to the SQL Server.

Refresh tool and table name containing database name in Mysql

Hi,
when refreshing the database schema and my table name contains a database name (for example "my_other_db.my_other_table"), the refresh tool never sees weather "my_other_db.my_other_table" already exists or not. so it always generates a create-table-statement (which is syntactically correct, but of course fails, because that table exists already).
Is there known workaround for it? I am using Mysql 5.0.x, jdbc driver 5.0.7, Kodo 4.1.4 (but this problem was there before).
Right now i'm deleting the database names from my package.jdo-files, then doing the refresh command and after that i put back the database names. At runtime Kodo works very well with the database name before the table name.
Thanks very much,
Markus

1. For WBS element under consideration, get OBJNR from PRPS table
2. Get PO numbers from COEP where OBJNR = PRPS-OBJNR obtained in step 1

Want to modify the Global Database Name in Oracle 10g R2

Hi All,
I have a global database name like GS77.UK.ORA.COM , I want it to be just GS77.What are the possible workarounds for modifying this.
Thanks & Regards,
Gaurav S.

If your problem is really just the global name, yes.
You can check with
Select * from global_name;
Check the documentation first to ensure you checked all implications first

Immediate HELP in Tomcat 5 to Postgresql 7.4 database connectivity problem

Hi,
I failed to connect Tomcat 5.0.24 with Postgresql
7.4.2. The files created by me and the changes i had
made in the existing files are rates.jsp,
conversionDAO.java, web.xml and server.xml. The error
message on the top of the rest of it was "The value of
useBean class attribute converter.conversionDAO is
invalid". So far I found out that the coding for
database connectivity purpose in conversionDAO.java
cause the error. Another thing is Postgresql jdbc
driver is required to set in the CLASSPATH for the
java file to access the Postgresql database. I don't
know where should I put it in Tomcat for web
application. Anyway, I put it in
$CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib according the book i
refered. I do the database connectivity coding refer
to the Tomcat Kick Start book from Sams Publishing.
Below are the coding involved, please show me the
mistake i had made. Thank you.

How can i identify the environment name or database name in the PL/SQL code

Hi,
I am using UTL_FILE to genearate the files.,
My problem is, I have to design the common sql file , which can be executed in 2 diffrent environments ( Say QA & DEV ) , with no parameters. It has to identify the environment and based on the environment , it has to generate the concern files.,
The only change needs to be incorporated is , file names , which will change based on the environment.,
can nay one tell me , how can i identify the environment name or database name in the PL/SQL code ??
Raja

In this case, USEC_GI_DEV.NA.XXXNET.NET is a TNS alias. That alias exists only on the client machine. There is no way to access that information on the database server.
You would have to find something in the v$database or v$instance table that uniquely identifies the database (and you may need some help from the DBAs to do this because you need to ensure that the data element you choose is compatible with whatever refresh process(es) are used in your environment).
Now, if you are writing a stand-alone SQL*Plus script, SQL*Plus, as a client tool, does have access to the TNS alias in later versions. But that is a client-side determination, not a server-side determination.

SIMPLE Database Design Problem !

Mapping is a big problem for many complex applications.
So what happens if we put all the tables into one table called ENTITY?
I have more than 300 attributeTypes.And there will be lots of null values in the records of that single table as every entityType uses the same table.
Other than wasting space if I put a clustered index on my entityType coloumn in that table.What kind of performance penalties to I get?
Definition of the table
ENTITY
EntityID > uniqueidentifier
EntityType > Tells the entityTypeName
Name >
LastName >

PS:There is also another table called RELATION that points the relations between entities.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
check the coloumn with WHERE _entityType='PERSON'
as there is is clustered index on entityType...there
is NO performance decrease.
there is also a clustered index on RELATION table on
relationType
when we say WHERE _entityType ='PERSON' or
WHERE relationType='CONTACTMECHANISM'.
it scans the clustered index first.it acts like a
table as it is physically ordered.I was thinking in terms of using several conditions in the same select, such as
WHERE _entityType ='PERSON'
AND LastName LIKE 'A%' In your case you have to use at least two indices, and since your clustered index comes first ...

Have you ever thought of using constraints in your
modell? How would you realize those?
...in fact we did.We have arranged the generic object
model in an object database.The knowledge information
is held in the object database.So your relational database is used only as a "simple" storage, everything has go through your object database.
But the data schema is held in the RDBMS with code
generation that creates a schema to hold data.If you think that this approach makes sense, why not.
But in able to have a efficent mapping and a good
performance we have thought about building only one
table.The problem is we know we are losing some space
but the thing is harddisk is much cheaper than RAM
and CPU.So our trade off concerated on the storage
cost.But I still wonder if there is a point that I
have missed in terms performance?Just test your approach by using sufficiently data - only you know how many records you have to store in your modell.
PS: it is not wise effective using generic object
models also in object databases as CPU cost is a lot
when u are holding the data.I don't know if I'd have taken your approach - using two database systems to hold data and business logic.
PS2: RDBMS is a value based system where object
databases are identity based.we are trying to be in
the gray area of both worlds.Like I wrote: if your approach works and scales to the required size, why not? I would assume that you did a load test with your approach.
What I would question though is that your discussing a "SIMPLE Database Design" problem. I don't see anything simple in your approach when it comes to implementation.

How can i define database name in oracle ADI

Hai Friends,
I am facing a problem when i am going to define database name in oracle ADI there is a error u can enter minimum 6 char database name but my database name is PROD it is only 4 char long. how can i define can i will change the database name. Please suggest me.
If u have any query regarding oracle apps plse discuss with me.
Many thanks

Database is used internally by ADI and does not have any relationship to the name of your database.
Using ADI I am able to create a database with the following:
Name - My Wacky Database
GWYUID and FNDNAM as usual
Connect String - VIS
I'm able to signon and work successfully with that definition. The connect string is more important in this scenario as that tells the networking layer which database to actually talk to. As you can see here mine is only three characters.

Database not found/Error: ORA-16621: database name for ADD DATABASE must be

I am new to Data Guard and am trying to set up Data Guard Broker. I had created a configuration file with both my primary and standby databases and at one time I could show both databases. But now I can no longer show the standby database nor can I enable, disable or reinstate it. Here is what I have:

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:
DG 2011-06-16-17:23:18 0 2 0 RSM detected log transport problem: log transport for database '10gSB' has the following error.

I verified that I am able to connect to both the primary and standby databases via external connections:

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.
The following is my listener.ora file:

I tried again to see the database in Data Guard Broker:

Object "10gsb" was not found
however, I then was able to add the database in Data Guard Broker:
DGMGRL> add database 10gSB
as connect identifier is 10gSB
maintained as physical;Database "10gsb" added <== this is progress!!!
However the configuration shows the following:

Database

Role: PHYSICAL STANDBY
Enabled: NO
Intended State: OFFLINE
Instance(s):
10gSB
Current status for "10gsb":

So I tried to enable the database:
DGMGRL> enable database 10gSB
Error: ORA-16626: failed to enable specified object
Failed.
and I tried to reinstate the database:
DGMGRL> reinstate database 10gSB
Reinstating database "10gsb", please wait...
Error: ORA-16653: failed to reinstate database
Failed.
Reinstatement of database "10gsb" failed
So I checked the configuration and now see two entries for the standby database but with case differences:
DGMGRL> show configuration
Configuration
Name: orcl10g
Enabled: YES
Protection Mode: MaxPerformance
Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED
Databases:
orcl10g - Primary database
10gSB - Physical standby database
10gsb - Physical standby database (disabled)
Current status for "orcl10g":
SUCCESS
Question: How do I get rid of 10gSB and enable 10gsb?

RMAN-05520: database name mismatch

Hi All,
My DB Version :11.2.0
OS :Linux
What i am doing is to try duplicating the database on the same machine using RMAN. But what happens when i am trying to run the below mentione command i am getting below error
RMAN> duplicate target database to test2 from active database nofilenamecheck;
Starting Duplicate Db at 31-DEC-12

Can anyone please suggest me why i am facing this problem.
connecting to rman as follows
rman target sys/tiger@test1

my pfile entries for test2(cloned db ) are as follows:

You are cloning...right?
Then shutdown the target database. Then change the init parameter file *.db_name='test2' (that is your target database name)
and then startup the instance in nomount mode and then try to fire the RMAN command.

DBLINK Name problem????

I create a DBLINK called "MYDBLINK" but ORACLE rename it as "MYDBLINK.ES.AULAS-GRP"
I create it:
create database link MYDBLINK
connect to USER1
identified by "USER1"
using '(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (Host = AUPDMANAS53525.ES.AULAS-GRP) (PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = BDED1.es.aulas-grp)))';
I need the name MYDBLINK instead of "MYDBLINK.ES.AULAS-GRP"
I have executed ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_DOMAIN='' scope=spfile; instruction but I continue with the same problem.
What do I have to configure?
I attach tnsnames and some data.
Thanks very much in advance!
TNSNAMES:
BDED1 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = AUPDMANAS53525.ES.AULAS-GRP)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = BDED1.es.aulas-grp)
(SRVR = DEDICATED)
SQL> show parameter service;
NAME TYPE VALUE
service_names string BDED1.es.aulas-grp
SQL> show parameter global;
NAME TYPE VALUE
global_context_pool_size string
global_names boolean FALSE


Why do you need it? I think it's not a problem if you have to mention "MYDBLINK.ES.AULAS-GRP" instead of MYDBLINK.
 
You can try this:
 
First chack your gobal_name: 
SELECT * FROM global_name; 
If it is MYDBLINK.ES.AULAS-GRP then you can change your GLOBAL_NAME format from <database name>[.db_domain] to <database name> only
 
ALTER DATABASE RENAME GLOBAL_NAME TO MYDBLINK;
 
This may have serious consequences in other links/queries of you Database. Please check all associated options before doing it.
