Designer 9i on an 8i Database?

Is it possible to install and run a Designer 9i - Tool on an 8i Database?
Are there any problems I should know? Are There any hints?
Thank you
Uwe

Hi Uwe,
Yes, it is possible to install Designer 9i on a 8i database, just make sure that you follow the below mentioned instructions.
Please ensure that you have installed the 8.1.7 import/expert utilities into a
separate Oracle Home and point the registry variables to use them as detailed
in the Repository Installation guide. If you are using a 9i client against an
8.1.7 db it is necessary to install the 8.1.7 utilities.
Unable to install Oracle SCM on an Oracle 8.1.7 database
Problem:
When attempting to install Oracle SCM on an Oracle 8.1.7 database, the
following error can be encountered.
CDR-21244 This process has been aborted. The previous process has failed or
the user has aborted it.
This problem occurs because Oracle9i import and export utilities are not
compatible with an Oracle 8.1.7 database. This not a bug but an
Oracle9i design feature.
Workaround:
To install Oracle SCM on an Oracle 8.1.7 database, you will first need to
install Oracle 8.1.7 import and export utilities in a separate Oracle
Home. The registry variables EXECUTE_IMPORT and EXECUTE_EXPORT need to be
changed to point to these 8.1.7 import and export
utilities instead of to the Oracle9i versions. These variables are found under
the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\REPOS61
Note that when installing the 8.1.7 import and export utilities, the following
error may be encountered:
There is no oracle.swd.jre 1.1.8.10
The workaround here is to use the Oracle Universal Installer installed onto
your hard disk with the Oracle9i install, to install the Oracle 8.1.7
components.
Thanks,
Regards

  • Connect Oracle Developer / Designer to Oracle 10g XE database

    I have installed the Oracle 10g XE database on my PC. Also on the same computer I have installed Oracle 10g Developer Suite (Designer, Forms etc). The database runs ok without problem. However I cannot connect Designer to the database. I know a listner program (e.g. tsn listner) has to be installed for the purpose of connecting to the database. When starting the XE database a listner program also is started.
    My question:
    What do I have to do inorder to have the Designer connect to the XE database?
    R. Carson

    Is there any changes should I do?!Well sorry but I don't know. This sugesstion to copy sqlnet.ora file resolve my problems to connect with Developer 6i to 10g, but that is 10g EE in my office, not XE at home...
    Anyway your sqlnet.ora file look like very "default" but maybe is that O.K. on XE?
    Who knows?

    Hi,
    I'm currently using Oracle 9i DB and Dev/Des 6i. In my case I installed the 9i DB first since in order for me to succesfully create a repository I need a working DB first.
    I hope this helps.

  • Oracle 6i designer repository in a 10g database

    Hi All,
    Is there anyone who has the 6i repository in a 10g database? On Metalink Certification, it lists 10.1.0.3 as desupported. But that's probably because the designer tool is no longer certified...
    Can anyone comment?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    I'm just in the process of testing the upgrade of a 6i repository into a 10g one on a 10gR2 database. This means I have a 6i repos in a 10g database ... and it seems to work ok - in that I can open things and navigate around. That's just information for you syaing that it doesn't blow up with errors straightaway !

  • Designer and Reverse Engineering Entire Database

    Does anyone know of any good papers, books, articles, etc to help out with Designer. I really am having trouble finding anything.
    What I am trying to do is capture an entire database into a new repository and I am plagued with errors. I'm a developer and really weak with Designer knowledge. I also want to find information on how I should organize my repository. Should each schema have its own application system folder if the schemas share/link information between one another?

    Hi,
    One book that I have always found good is the Oracle Designer Handbook by Paul Dorsey and Peter Koletzke. Although it's a bit long in the tooth now (only goes upto v6 I think), it's still very useful.
    The Oracle Designer Product Info link is at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/designer/index.html
    What sort of errors are you getting? I presume you either have a live connection to the database or the DDL?
    Without knowing the contents of your schema, it usually makes sense to group each one into its own application system, subject to the number of tables, etc. If you have tables which are referenced by other schemas, they can be put into one application system and shared to the other application systems as applicable.
    Try and let us know a bit more about what you're trying to do.

  • Designer 9i reverse engineer my database

    I have Designer 9i with repository on Oracle 9i server.
    I would like to reverse engineer my database from Oracle 8.17 server on a different computer - connection.
    How do I do that? Beging from scratch, what do I need, do I need to create new Application system? I probably would need one... Can I connect this specific applicatino system to a specific database?
    How to get the tables (and other objects)?
    What tool do I use? Database design transformer says - I don't have any entities in a.s.
    Entity relationship diagramer - that would be for designing probably, not for reverse engineering.
    Please help
    Thanks

    Rok
    You can do everything you have asked.
    The best way is to do the following:
    - Create an application system and name it appropriately.
    - Use the Design Editor tool
    - On the menu there is a option to "Design Capture" (this is reverse engineering).The menu path is Generate/Capture Design of/Server Model
    - This will ask you to enter the connect string for the db you want to capture
    - Then you will be presented with the objects in that db and you can choose which ones you want to capture
    The rest is simple from there.
    To help you I would suggest you go to the URL http://otn.oracle.com/products/designer/demos.htm on this site and at the bottom of the
    page is a demo section on Server Design and Generation. Take a look at the one titled: Capturing Database Designs in the Design Editor
    This will demo the step above. The other demos may also be useful as you want to change the data model or generate new schemas

  • Oracle Headstart Designer 2.1.2 Utilities - Database Auth Scheme DB.030

    I'm trying to use the Database Auth Scheme DB.030, but without
    much success.
    I've created roles and users, granted system priviliges and run
    the .sql file. I added a role to a module under its Security
    tab, open Headstart Utilities and select my database, new role
    and correct schema in DB.030. When I hit Run, I get the
    following information: -

    Modified privilige for group 'CC_OP' and table 'OSS_DOCUMENTS'.
    I was expecting to see extra entries in role_tab_privs, but
    nothing extra gets added.
    Has anyone got a guide to using DB.030, or can tell me what I'm
    doing wrong. There isn't any information about DB.030 in my
    Utilities manual.
    Thanks.

    I'm not aware of any bugs related to this code.
    In you utility preferences window, set the debug level to 'Debug
    Detailed'. This will cause your log file to give you much more
    information. You can examine the utility code to try to
    determine where it might be going wrong. You can find the name
    of the utility package in the online help for the utility. You
    can then use something like PL/SQL Developer to examine the code.

  • Designing opinions about a network database application

    Hi all,
    I want to develop a small application with Java that will manage data. The size of the data is small. I do not need a client server database (ex.Oracle or Sql server). I also want to make a version of these application to work as desktop application and another version as an applet (maybe with few abilities than the first). My problem is which technology i will select to manage data for my my application ? I wonder if it is a good choice to work with MS Access via JDBC or with simple files. I have never work with XML, Is this Technology a solution for my promblem. I suppose that the promblem is the connection of the java applet with the data center. Have someone any great idea?
    Thank you for advance Kostas

    will manage data. Relational data? flat data? numerical? statistical? If you don't think you'd ever use a RDBMS like Oracle or MS SQL Server, then why be considering JDBC?
    You may need to define your parameters a little better.

  • Designer support for Oracle 9i database features

    How does Designer support the creation of Materialized Views, Bitmap Join indexes and Index Organized tables ? Which version of Designer does this ?
    Dwaraka

    I do not fully understand your question, but I'll give a start answer.
    Bitmapped indexes can be defined by setting the index type to bitmap. SImply create an index and set the indextype to bitmap.
    Index Organized Tables can be created by creating a relational table and set the index-organized option under storage in the property palette to Yes. Designer has a special folder for the materialized view.
    IOT's and bitmapped indexes where already supported in Designer 6.0. Materialized views are supported in Designer 6i. I know for sure in designer 6i release 4.2 (designer 9i).
    I hope this answers your questions.

  • CS4 Design Standard re-installation - Installer Database is corrupt.

    I had a perfectly working Adobe CS4 Suite on each of my two computers until one of the laptops had to be reformatted. When attempting to re-install the Creative Suite 4, I get a "The Installer Database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service" message and cannot go any further.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    The only help I have been able to get from Adobe is a referral to Adobe Community sites. I found a post with a similar issue but no solution has been offered.
    Since the computer crashed before I had a chance to deactivate the software, it may be thinking that a third copy is being installed. In which case, it should be as simple as resetting my account with the proper ID and serial number, which Adobe cannot do. I have used Adobe products for many years and promoted it in my classrooms. Disappointing!

  • Advice needed regarding Database design practice

    OK, here is my situation. I've started working for a company about 6 months ago. I'm a .NET developer with 12+ years of experience. Most of my experience with databases is with SQL Server. Recently I've discovered an design change with our Oracle database that our DBA made that I completely disagree with.
    We had a single Event table that holds records that pertain to all HTTP traffic on a network as HTTP Usage Event. There are multiple hardware units called 'Sensors' that monitor the network and report these HTTP events to the database. At some point not long ago, the table was holding just over a million records. Performance was suffering so the DBA decided to make a change to the database to accommodate. The change she made was to create a separate Event table for each sensor. Each sensor has an integer value as a unique identifier, so our database went from having a single Event table to now having Event_100, Event_101, Event_102, etc...
    So, we now have over 200 Event tables in our database. Anytime a sensor is added to the system, we need to add another table (actually two as there is a 2nd table that was duplicated in this same fashion).
    How do I present this to my boss and to the DBA in a way that I don't embarrass my boss (he approved the change) and without pissing off the DBA? I can't imagine that the table couldn't have been optimized as it was to take care of the issues with performance without so dramatic a change.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Edited by: jreddy on Dec 15, 2010 6:51 AM

    There is a job to purge old data. Events are kept for 3 months. These jobs were actually part of the problem, as well as removing sensors from the system. In either of these cases, the deletion of the data (more so with the removal of a Sensor i.e. DELETE FROM EVENT WHERE SENSORID = X, was taking too long).
    I'm surprised that there have been people agreeing to this design. So, now we have 208 sensors, so 208 Event tables and another table named DATA_HASH duplicated 208 times. There may be a time when our database will be handling data from over 1,000 sensor units. Maybe even double that. Can anyone argue that having 2,000 event tables is the way to go? What if we need to add a new field to the table? Do that 2000 times?
    I've been looking at bit more at the data today. I found some event tables haven't got any data (0 rows) while others range in row counts of 2 million up to as much as 30 million? I've talked to SQL DBA's and they all think that Oracle should be able to handle billions of rows in a table.
    Also, just out of curiosity, I looked up the max size for a table in Oracle 10. I know the number of rows isn't the determining factor for this, but size of the data. I was astounded to find out the max size for data storage for a single table. 127 TB (yeah, tera bytes). Based on this size, it seems our data could be handled by 1 table, but then maybe I'm wrong.

  • How to design a listbox or tree control related to the database

    Now i have a problem to design a listbox or tree control, it is designed to connect to the database, if the related element in database changed, the element in listbox or tree control should also change. i have managed to read the element in database, but i cannot input it to the listbox or tree control, since it has no input terminal that i can only use the Labeling tool and enter text into it.
    is there any advise on it, maybe i can use another control rather than listbox or tree control. any suggestion would be appreciate.
    Thank you
    XuY

    Hi Xuy,
          On the front-panel, right-click on the text-ring control and select: Create\Property Node.
    Then, on the diagram, right-click on the property-node and select "Strings[]".
    The "strings[]" property is the array of strings available in the control - and you can change it.
    Cheers!

  • Good database design and modelling books

    Hi ,
    I need to work on designing a database from the scratch by creating logical database design and then physical database design.I'm new to database design.
    Can someone please point me to some good database design and modelling related books /tutorials.

    Hi Girish Thanks for the information.
    I would definitely look into this book later.
    I don't mind paying any amount of money,if that book gives me the knowledge I want.
    As this book is international edition,for shipping it is taking 8-10 business days and by that time I need to complete designing my database and probably I might need to some other book.
    Is this a school assignment? I hope so. Referring back to your opening statement "I need to work on designing a database from the scratch by creating logical database design and then physical database design.I'm new to database design." I can only say that database design is a very big subject. If you are starting from a position of no knowledge at all, I'm afraid there is nothing that is going to give you the knowledge you need in the time frame you have. I will say you need to start by learning the rules of Data Normalization. Make your logical design Third Normal Form. Good can be your friend. There is actually a pretty good write-up on Data Normalization on Wikipedia.

  • Database design for swapping/trading items between companies

    What is the best SQL table schema for items being swapped/traded between companies? For instance:
    e.g.1 If company A wants to swap item 0001 (owned by customer X but being managed by company A) with company B who is offering item 0002 (owned by customer Y but being managed by company B) and item 0003 (owned by customer Z but being managed by company B)
    e.g.2 If company A wants to swap item 0004 (owned by customer X but being managed by company A) with company B who is offering item 0005 (owned by customer Y but being managed by company B)
    These are the tables I have so have so far, it should be good enough to support 1 to 1 trades but not too sure about 1..* to 1..* (many to many) trades, is it correct or can it be improved further?
    Note: Trades can only happen between two companies, but they could trade as many items as they wish.
    Trade
    id: int (primary key)
    company1_id: int (foreign key)
    company2_id: int (foreign key)

    company_id: int (foreign key)

    I made a few changes.
    You need to think about NATURAL KEY for each table.  For example, what is the NATURAL KEY for the Customer table. It can be:
    CompanyTaxID char(9) NOT NULL UNIQUE
    or
    SSNO char(9) NOT NULL UNIQUE
