Delete database in unix

Hi,
We have a database DEVDB1 and We do not need it anymore. I want to delete it and all the files related to it.
Is there a process to follow or a command line to do it? aside from using OUI deinstall? because i can not run gui windows.
Can I just rm -r /u01/DEVDB1 folder?
Thanks

connect with SQL plus as SYSDBA
Confirm that you are connected with the right database.
1. shutdown immediate
2. startup restrict mount
3. drop database;
If you also want to remove the oracle software then invoke the OUI and uninstall it. Step 1-3 will only drop your desired database.

How to start a particular database in unix/linux

Hi,
Could any one tell me how to start a particular database in Unix/Linux assuming that my server consists of 10 databases.
Can we use LSNRCTL tool for this??

Nagarjun.

> Could any one tell me how to start a particular database in Unix/Linux
assuming that my server consists of 10 databases.
There is something very wrong in basic understanding of Oracle RDBMS architecture, when running 10 Oracle instances on a single server.
10x temp space. 10x redo space. 10x SGA. 10x system processes footprint. This is NOT how one scales Oracle and NOT how one uses Oracle optimally.

Write blob data from database to unix server

Hi all,
I need to send the attachment file into the mail. I have a header form in which I have implemented Download/Upload functionality using Apex user guide. When ever a user fill all the entries and submit the form then some field information along with attachment I need to send to the user.
I mean when ever user hit the submit button it should take blob data from my custom table tmp_downlod_files and send to the user as an attachment.
I have searched the post and got lot information but not able to get succeed.
I have implemented java stored procedure for sending automatic mail when user is submitting the form but what I need is to take blob content from database and send as an attachment.
1: So I need to write blob content from custom table to unix server in some location and from there I need to attach that file.
2: the java store which I have implemented for sending automatic mail is working and one argument is attachment which I am passing null for now. So mail is working how to write the file from database to unix server and send as an attachment.
What I did for writing file from database to unix server:
1:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE trx_blob_to_file (l_header_id IN NUMBER)
IS
BEGIN
FOR rec_picture IN (SELECT ID
FROM TMP.tpx_download_files
WHERE header_id = l_header_id
AND mime_type LIKE ('image' || '%'))
LOOP
DECLARE
l_out_file UTL_FILE.file_type;
l_buffer RAW (32767);
l_amount BINARY_INTEGER := 32767;
l_pos INTEGER := 1;
l_blob_len INTEGER;
p_data BLOB;
file_name VARCHAR2 (256);
BEGIN
SELECT blob_content, filename
INTO p_data, file_name
FROM tpx_download_files
WHERE ID = rec_picture.ID;
l_blob_len := DBMS_LOB.getlength (p_data);
l_out_file :=
UTL_FILE.fopen ('/home/oracle/interfaces/out/upld',
file_name,
'wb',
32767
WHILE l_pos < l_blob_len
LOOP
DBMS_LOB.READ (p_data, l_amount, l_pos, l_buffer);
IF l_buffer IS NOT NULL
THEN
UTL_FILE.put_raw (l_out_file, l_buffer, TRUE);
END IF;
l_pos := l_pos + l_amount;
END LOOP;
UTL_FILE.fclose (l_out_file);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
IF UTL_FILE.is_open (l_out_file)
THEN
UTL_FILE.fclose (l_out_file);
END IF;
END;
END LOOP;
END;
2: I have written a PL/SQL process and calling the above procedure on SUBMIT:
DECLARE
l_header_id NUMBER;
l_filename VARCHAR2 (200);
BEGIN
SELECT header_id, filename
INTO l_header_id, l_filename
FROM tpx_download_files
WHERE header_id = :p35_sr_header_id;
trx_blob_to_file (l_header_id);
END;
But it is not writing the file from database to unix server.
If I can get how to make working to write file from database to unix server then I will hopefully can send an attachment.
3; I have given
GRANT EXECUTE ON TPX_BLOB_TO_FILE TO PUBLIC.
And
GRANT EXECUTE ON UTL_FILE TO PUBLIC.
Where I am doing wroung can anyone guide me or any other approach is appreciated.
I am already late so I need soon. Please help.

Installing 11g database in Unix

I was installing 11g database in Unix
Port number 1521 was not free and I was hit by this issue
Checking for ip_local_port_range=1024 - 65000;
found ip_local_port_range=10000 - 65000. Failed <<<<
In this case if I wanna use some port other than default one (1521) should the parameter LOCAL_LISTENER be set in init.ora file or can I directly make a entry for listener in listener.ora and can I start it ...
My listener.ora file looks like this
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /SLOTS/slot04/appmgr/Ora11g_Home)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = adorcl)
(ORACLE_HOME = /SLOTS/slot04/appmgr/Ora11g_Home)
LISTENER_ADORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST=
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1522))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ap6305rt.us.oracle.com)(PORT = 1522))
But when I start the listener I get a error syaing that
TNS-01150: The address of the specified listener name is incorrect
Let me know what should be done

I have installed 11g database in Unix machine .
After completing my installation I tried executing catalog.sql and catproc.sql but I faced this issue
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06553: PLS-213: package STANDARD not accessible
So I tried running standard.sql script to resolve the same
but I faced this error when i executed standard.sql
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-04031: unable to allocate 16 bytes of shared memory ("shared pool","select
obj#,type#,ctime,mtim...","sql area","tmp")
So I thought of changing parameters in SGA as
log_buffer = 1048576
shared_pool_size = 80M
java_pool_size = 10048576
db_cache_size = 10M
workarea_size_policy = AUTO
pga_aggregate_target = 10M
in init.ora file . The I did shutdown by db and tried starting it .
SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 140365824 bytes

Redo Buffers 2424832 bytes
Database mounted.
ORA-01092: ORACLE instance terminated. Disconnection forced
Process ID: 13774
Session ID: 49 Serial number: 5
So I tried checking the alert.log file to resolve the same , but i was not able to understand what has to be done
ORA-00704: bootstrap process failure
ORA-39700: database must be opened with UPGRADE option
Error 704 happened during db open, shutting down database
USER (ospid: 15636): terminating the instance due to error 704
Instance terminated by USER, pid = 15636
Let me know what has to be done ?

Delete database with lost initdb.ora

Hi guys. How can i delete database with lost init file? I just want to recreate the database (with out any recovery or restoring process)
1. I can't start it because i don't have init.
2. I can't drop database because i can't start.
3. I can't recreate database using dbca because the same name somewhere exists:(
Edited by: America on Jan 18, 2009 12:03 PM

1. I can't start it because i don't have init.
recreate init file... you can copy init.ora to init<SID>.ora and then modify DB_NAME and control_files parameters...
2. I can't drop database because i can't start.
You can delete manual by remove datafiles, redo file and control files ... After that use "DBCA" to force remove....
3. I can't recreate database using dbca because the same name somewhere exist
On DBCA .... You should delete old database before....
DBCA can delete your database ... by not start database ... that remove databae name from oracle.... But, You have to manual delete on location PATH... Before start "DBCA" to create new database....

Can Grid Control on Windows monitor databases on UNIX?

If I install Grid Control on a Windows pc can I use it to monitor databases on UNIX?

There are two reasons I have to reboot the box.
1.You know, Windows always needs "update and reboot".
2.Sometimes I got the EM error message "Count of targets not uploading exceeded the critical threshold " from all hosts, but I am sure all hosts and agents were working normally.
After receiving errors, I found the grid control can't show the right chart on the performance tab.
Then I reboot the box and everything works fine again.

I want to recover the Deleted Database

We have an accidentally deleted the database, there is no recent backup file for past 5 months. I want to recover the deleted database. Please give an idea/Suggestions to recover the database. And also we tried some third party tools like kernal,SQL Recovery,Steller
Phenix and those tools are repairing the corrupted database,but it could not find the deleted ".mdf" file for the database. Please give a best steps/suggestions to recover the database.

Is there any option to recover the ".mdf" and ".ldf" files of deleted database by using file recovery softwares
You can try some of the Windows "undelete" tools, but there is no guarantee it will work or that the database files will be in a valid state afterwards.
The only reliable way is to restore a backup ... which you don't have.

Drop database vs. dbca delete database

So I'd like to delete this database: control files, datafiles, log files, spfiles, everything. leave no trace.
I can use good old sqlplus and run "drop database;", or I can use DBCA and do "delete database".
What is the difference?
Documentation clearly explains what "drop database" will do, but it does not explain what DBCA is doing (maybe just running drop database behind the curtains?).

from the book of «OCP - Oracle Database 10g Administration I», Chap 3. -- Using the DBCA to Delete a Database p 3 - 14
«Dropping a database involves removing its data files, redo log files, control files, and
initialization parameter files. The DROP DATABASE statement deletes all control files and all
other database files listed in the control file. To use the DROP DATABASE statement
successfully, all the following conditions must apply:
• The database must be mounted and closed.
• The database must be mounted exclusively—not in shared mode.
• The database must be mounted as RESTRICTED.
An example of this statement is:
DROP DATABASE;
The DROP DATABASE statement has no effect on archived log files nor does it have any effect
on copies or backups of the database. It is best to use Recovery Manager (RMAN) to delete such
files. If the database is on raw disks, then the actual raw disk special files are not deleted.»
there is no distinction between the DBCA Delete a database and the drop database statement.

how to delete database? without using dbca
regards
neo

Hi
Again I have no idea why you'd want to drop your database but I will help you perform the "delete". Before we do this it will be a good idea to take a backup of your db (just in case you want it back later ) :-)
Assuming its not production, hence not BIG in size, we will go for a cold backup.
Connect to your db as sysdba
sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
Get details about your db files
SQL>SELECT FILE_NAME FROM DBA_DATA_FILES;
SQL>SELECT FILE_NAME FROM DBA_TEMP_FILES;
Note the path and filenames as we will need to backup these files.
SQL>shutdown immediate;
Now copy the files that you noted earlier to some other location.
Also make a copy of your initSID.ora file to the backup location.
Now run
C:\>ORADIM - DELETE -SID sid <- yourdbname
Database "Deleted" as you requested.
