Desktop tool for Oracle Database 10 XE Client?

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 10g Client XE on Windows remote computer. By SQL Command Line I'm correctly connected whit Oracle Database XE Server on a differrent computer.
This is my question:
there are desktop tools, similar to "Net Manager" of "Oracle 9i Client", for manage Client instance ?. As i can manage Client istance for configure host_name, port and service_name in relation to the Database XE Server ?.
In a "2 Day DBA Guide" have not found nothing !
I have the doubt of to have made an wrong installation !!!
Thanks in advance
Mario

This is my question:
there are desktop tools, similar to "Net Manager" of
"Oracle 9i Client", for manage Client instance ?.No, you must use "normal" 10g Client for that features.
As
i can manage Client istance for configure host_name,
port and service_name in relation to the Database XE
Server ?.Again use "normal" 10g Client for that - XE Client is based on Instant Client. For enabling ceratin "features" of XE Client see Installing Oracle Database XE Client.

Open source monitoring tool for oracle Database

Hi,
Please suggest me any opensource tool to monitor the health, availability and performance of the Oracle Database that can be accesed through web client
Thanks in advance

Robert,
Thanks for the update, ya i basically need the tool to monitor the DB, but at the same time, if CPU is going high due to any query or any other reason, we must get the alert, the tool currently we are using triggers a mail for both, DB as well as CPU when it goes high, similar one is needed
ThanksGrid control or database control will do this for you, there is a rather big however, er however. Being notified is a part of the diagnostics pack functionality (ludicrously and unjustifiably IMO). That means a license cost (unless you are already licensed for it). nagios does this as others have said as do shell scripts. I'm not aware of an open source tool that does all you want without scripting though.

Tools for Oracle Admin.

Hi Gurus and admins.
I have been lurking here for a while and I think that these groups are wicked cool! I left college ("school" to our American friends!) recently (degree in computer science) and have got a job as a junior oracle developer/dba with a small company near London. The company is "young and dynamic" (i.e. we have to work long hours ;( ), but there are good people here and lots of opportunities to learn. We are allowed choose our own tools for the work we do as long as we use the Subversion server for source control (sql - pl/sql - java - c) and use Bugzilla for reporting. Since these are browser based, this is not a problem and I can use my Linux box (nearly) all the time and the browser of my choice. Sometimes it is necessary to use Windows on client sites - amazingly, they tell us it's for security reasons - go figure! I want a lightweight admin tool that's Open Source (I did lot's of work on open source stuff when in college. Does anybody have any ideas? Mac.

Source (I did lot's of work on open source stuff when in college. Does anybody

There are a number of tools out there that are F\LOSS. There's TOra which is
about the best of the Open Source stuff, however, development seems to have
stopped around 2010. There's also http://www.sqltools-plusplus.org:7676/index.html (Windows only)
from Randolph Geist - but it's ceased development also. Its advantage is that it can
be run from a USB stick - but when I tried it recently, it didn't support the DESC table_name
command - I have to say that I was disappointed.
There are a number of SQL*Plus replacements out there - Go [url http://packages.python.org/sqlpython/comparison.html]here to check them out - most seem to
have ceased development - apart from sqlpython and gqlplus.
You mention security. I was on one client site where all we were allowed use was
vi and SQL*Plus. There is a project [url http://code.google.com/p/vorax/]here which seeks to be a
"simple, yet a powerful IDE for Oracle databases" by sort of combining vi with SQL*Plus. Haven't
tried it, but it might be worth a look.
You have to remember however that, while on client site, you may very well be constrained to use
the tools that they tell you to use which will likely be (boring old) SQL*Plus and an editor.
You may be denied the opportunity to use your latest whizz-bang tool and worse still, you may
be stumped if you have to use tools with which you are not familiar.
Download and play all you like with all of the marvellous stuff you can find on the interweb,
but you must be familiar with SQL*Plus.
As for a GUI tool, my recommendation is that you use SQL Developer if you are mostly running
Linux - it also works on Windows. It's a java app, so it's a bit sluggish on machines with <= 2GB
of RAM, but with laptops now at 8GB RAM and rising, that shouldn't be an issue.
Even on Windows, personally I find TOAD to be very cluttered, but if your employer is willing
to pay the (outrageous) licence costs, then I would make an effort to at least become somewhat
familiar with it - it's pretty much a standard - many Oracle job offers mention TOAD.
You have to ask yourself for your career &c., are you more interested in F\LOSS or becoming a
competent Oracle professional.? It's likely that the latter will pay a better salary and, even if
you don't add in the complcation of learning non-standard apps, there's a heck of a lot to learn
with Oracle alone.
Best of luck with your career.
[EDIT sb92075 mentioned Squirrel SQL - I had meant to put it down also. If you want a tool to
connect to all major (and a lot of minor) database servers (it uses JDBC - so if you have a driver
you can connect) and perform ad-hoc queries - then Squirrel SQL is your man. I've used it
for Firebird, MySQL (although Workbench is better), PostgreSQL and even Oracle - it's handy!

Server Sizing For Oracle Database

Hi All,
I need a server sizing for the below mentioned architecture:
This application is basically for logistics company which we are planing to host it centrally with two server's one server for application and one for oracle database along with DR site (Other Location). There are four locations and each location will have 20 users who are going to access this application (20 x 4= 80 Users). We are using MPLS network of 35 mbps bandwidth.
1. Application server: Windows server 2008 R2
2. Database Server: Windows server 2008 R2, Oracle 11g r2
I need a server sizing documents.
Thanks........

Thanks........I'd seriously reconsider hosting Oracle db on Windows. Obviously there are many, many shops that do. And obviously it is often a case of the fact that they do not have (and choose to not acquire) expertise in Linux. But I've been in IT for 30+ years and have worked on IBM S-370 and its variants and descendents, Windows since v3, DEC VMS, IBM OS/2, Solaris, AIX, HPUX, and Oracle Linux. The first Oracle database I ever created was on Windows 3.11 and at that point I had never seen *nix. Now I am in a position to state that Windows is the worst excuse of an operating system of any I have ever used. I am constantly amazed/amused by how often (at least once a month on schedule, plus unplanned times) that our Windows SA has to send out a notice that he is re-booting his servers. I can't remember the last time we had to reboot a Linux server ( I have 4 of them)
Yes, I'm biased away from Windows, but that bias comes from experience. Hardly a day goes by that I don't see something that causes me to say to whoever is in earshot "have I told you how much I hate Windows?"I was going to refrain from commenting on that, as I assumed they're a Windows shop and aren't open to any other OS (but my assumption could be incorrect).
I haven't been working in IT for as long as many of the folks around here, only about 10 years. I'm a former system admin that maintained both Linux and Windows servers, but my focus was on Windows. In the right hands, Windows can be rock solid. If a system admin has to reboot Windows servers often, he is most likely doing something wrong, or is rebooting for security updates. It's never as simple as "Windows Sucks," or "Linux Sucks;" it all depends on who's running the system (again, in my opinion).
I have seen some windows servers run uninterrupted for so long no one could remember the admin password. But more often memory leaks and the "weekly update" (replacing last weeks bugs with this weeks) is the culprit.
Yes, it really is sad how often you have to reboot for updates if you want to keep your system current. Mind you, it's better to have the fixes then to not have them (maybe). I rebooted my servers about once every month at my old place... which is not that bad.
With that said, in my experience, Oracle on Windows is a major pain. It takes me much longer to do anything. Once you get proficient with a CLI like the bash shell, the Windows GUI can't compare.Agreed. One of my many complaints about Windows is the poor excuse of a shell processor. I'm pretty proficient in command line scripting, but still cringe when I have to do it. Practically every line of code I write for a command script is accompanied by the remark "this is so lame compared to what I could do with a shell script". Same for vi vs. notepad. But my real problem is the memory leaks and the registry. I'm fairly comfortable hacking certain areas of the registry, but the need to and the arcane linkages between different areas of the registry and how they influence 'process environment' remains a mystery to all but a tiny minority of admins. Compare to *nix where everything is well documented and "knowable".
One (of many) anecdotal experiences, this with my personal Win7 laptop. One time it crashed and refused to reboot. A bit of a google search turned up some arcane keystroke sequence to put it into some sort of recovery mode on bootup .. similar to getting into the bios, but the keystroke sequence was much more complex .. it may have involved standing on one foot while entering the sequence. Anyway, it entered a recovery process I've never seen before or since and repaired everything. My first thought was "hey, that was pretty cool." Then my second thought was 'but only Windows would need such a facility.
Bottom line? To paraphrase a famous Tom Hanks character, "My momma always said Windows was like a box of chocolates. You never know just what you'll get."Haha... I like that one. Yes, the registry is definitely horrible. It's amazing to me that a single point of failure was Microsoft's answer to INI files.
I think Windows and nix have their places. Server work definitely seems more productive to me in a nix environment, but I think I'd jump off a cliff if I had to use it as my desktop environment day-in-day-out. The other problem is application lock-down; I can't blame the OS for that, but it's a reality... and using virtualization to run those applications seems to defeat the point to me.

Oracle Database XE Client(winXP) vs Oracle Database XE (linux)

hi everybody there, thanks for having some time for reading me.
i have a linux with Oracle Database XE, under linux with database user 'hr' i can make queries and create applications, that is ok.
also, i've installed Oracle Database XE Client on windows xp machine, and i'am usin this option: Run SQL Command Line, this prompts me to enter user and password, and i am entering this:
connect hr/[email protected]:1521
after a few seconds, i get this error: ORA-12560: TNS:Protocol Adapter Error.
192.168.0.102 is the IP address from my linux database, 1521 is the default port (i am using this port).
is this client looking for file tnsnames.ora? what else do i need on client (or server), to connect to my linux database?
my final aim is to connect from Developer 9i (winxp) to my linux database (in fact, i have the same error of above, trying this), only that i am trying first just to connect from Client XE to my linux, and when i get success with this, i will continue trying with Developer 9i.
if someone can guide me with this, it would be great. i am becoming crazy.
thanks.

hi, thanks friend.
look, as i also installed Developer 9i, i have a directory where i put a tnsnames.ora file, this directory is: d:/OraDev9i/network/admin
i don't know if Client XE, looks for this directory?, if i would not have installed Dev 9i, where can i put this tnsnames.ora file for Client XE to read it?
well, let's asume Client XE looks for directory above, this is my tnsnames entry, pls check it:
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost.localdomain)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
i don't know if there is something wrong with this, please help me.
i did what you told me:
connect hr/francis2010@XE
and i got this:
ORA-12154 TNS: Could not resolve service name
also, i tried changing 'localhost.localdomain' to my linux IP address: 192.168.0.102, and i get the same error message. how do i know where Client XE is reading my tnsnames?
about the listener, i checked with this: sudo /.../init.d/... status, and it seems it is ok, remember i can work well in linux wiht hr, the port is ok, and i also checked with lsnrctl status, and i got LISTEN, so it seems is ok.
sorry, and thank you for your support, maybe this is easy but as i know the basics, i am lost.

You can enable tracing at multiple levels using the DBMS_MONITOR package. The following link shows how to enable session tracing: [Application Tracing Tools|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14211/sqltrace.htm#CHDFCGAE]
You can then use a tool like TKPROF or TRCSESS to aggregate the trace data into more readable files for analysis.

Searching for a Reporting Tool for Oracle 11g

Hello,
I have created several OLAP-Cubes with the Analytic Workspace 11.1.0.7.0B on the Oracle Database 11g. Now I need a Tool for Creating some Reporting. I have Oracle BI Spreadsheet Add-In Version 10.1.2.3 for Microsoft Excel. I have installed it and I have a Connection to the Database. But on the Query-Assistent, I can't see my Measures and Dimensions. I guess it is because of the Version.
My Questions are:
- Is there any BI Spreadsheet in Version 11?
- Is there any other Reporting-Possibility with another Tool for Oracle 11g? I couldn't find anything yet.
I am very happy, if there is anyone who can answer my questions.

I have no knowledge of BI publisher but if you install OBIEE then you will have option to install BI publisher also. You can download OBIEE from here.
After installation you can look at following post to see the set up required to access olap cubes.

Migration Tool for Oracle 8i

Hi Friends !
I want to migrate Sql Server 7 database to Oracle 8i. For this I have downloaded Oracle Migration Workbench from OTN. Bt when I tried to install it I got message "The Oracle Migration Workbench 2.0.2.0.0 must be installed into an Oracle 9.0.1 Home"
I think the tool provided on OTN is for Oracle 9i. Where can I get the tool that will help me to migrate the databases to 8i ?
Thanks in advance.

Tools for mapping database procedures

Does anyone know if there is a tool, which would map database's procedures? I know that Oracle's schema builder does it for (tables, view, shapshots, quiries, and synonym). Unfortunately, Schema Builder does not do that for procedures. I need to see the hierarchical relationship among procedures. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Sonya

Oracle Designer does this, but it is a very complex and expensive product and somewhat difficult to setup and use. Also, TOAD (Tool for Oracle Application Developers) has a View Dependencies feature that may do what you are looking for. TOAD is by Quest Software (www.quest.com).

When I increase storage for Oracle database

Hi, Gurus
We start and golive SAP one year ago, Now
my oracle databes usage is 68% like below from ST04.
Size: 308.09 GB Total size: 400.39 GB 
Free Size: 97.27 GB Total free size: 189.57 GB 
Used: 68 % Total used: 53 % 
This storage usage at UNIX level 
/dev/vx/dsk/eccprd-dg/sapdata1 100G 72G 26G 74% /oracle/PRD/sapdata1 
/dev/vx/dsk/eccprd-dg/sapdata3 100G 80G 19G 82% /oracle/PRD/sapdata3 
/dev/vx/dsk/eccprd-dg/sapdata4 100G 68G 30G 70% /oracle/PRD/sapdata4 
/dev/vx/dsk/eccprd-dg/sapdata2 100G 89G 10G 90% /oracle/PRD/sapdata2 
When I must increase storage size because it to much usage 90% ?
Or wait 90++ % all drive.
Thank for all comment.

Hi Witoon,
What you need to do for monitoring space for oracle Database is to proactively monitor tablespaces of the databases.
This can be easily done with the help of BRtools . It is safe to keep the used tablespace < 85 % to avoid any kind of tablespace issues. If any major loading process is to started then the free space of the table space should be adjusted accordingly.
Out of several tablespaces present in the Oracle DB few are made by Oracle for example
SYSTEM
PSAPUNDO
SYSAUX
PSAPTEMP
TOOLS
Leaving the above mentioned tablespaces you need to monitor the tablespaces whose sizes are changing.
When you increase the size of the tablespace then more space is allocated on the disk in the form of datafile for that tablespace so before increasing the size of the tablespace you need to check the free space on the disk
Use df -h (Linux command) for checkin the diskspace on linux server.
Thanks

Is RAID 5 not recommended for Oracle database ?

- I am planning to install Oracle database
Here are the specs:
- Dell PowerEdge T610 server
- Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit )
- 24 GB memory
- Oracle 10g database (64-bit database)
- Our database is for an ERP based client server application
- Will have around 35-45 users
- Will have around 150-200 transaction per day ( 8AM-5PM) only database
- database would be around 10-15GB (data files)
Now I am planning to buy the hardware server, I heard that RAID 5 is not recommended for Oracle database.
Is it true ?
What do you recommended for Oracle database ? RAID 5 (or) RAID 1

johnpau2013 wrote:
I heard that RAID 5 is not recommended for Oracle database.
Is it true ?Kind off... as Oracle (as per the RAC Starter Kits for example) explicitly recommends SAME - as in Stripe And Mirror Everything.
This is a combination of RAID1 and RAID0.
However, you will also get whitepapers from storage vendors like EMC in partnership with Oracle, that explains how to configure and use RAID5 storage and how effective this is. And as some will tell you, RAID5 can work just fine with Oracle... and some others will grimace and tell you how bad an idea that is from personal experiences.
In a nutshell - RAID5 requires a parity calculation on each write. That is a very expensive overhead if that calculation impacts the fwrite() (file write) command of a process writing data to disk. It significantly slows down the write operation.
However, if that parity calculation is done asynchronously and does not effect the elapsed time for a fwrite(), then a fwrite() to RAID5 is as fast or as slow as it would be to RAID10 for example.
Unsure how many modern storage system supports off-loading the parity calculation and not impacting the write I/O call. This can be done using ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), specialised s/w on the storage server, etc.
Whatever you put in place - test the RAID config thoroughly up front and ensure that performance is up to specs. There's a utility called fio (Flexible I./O) written by a Linux kernel hacker that works for Oracle. It is an excellent utility to use to generate and test I/O - but it is Linux and Unix based.
Any specific reason using Windows? Linux is by far a more predominant 64bit operating system than Windows, and has significant higher market share in Oracle RDBMS than Windows. Given the fact that over 93% of the 500 fastest computer systems on this planet runs Linux, I'm always kind of amazed that some would still use Windows as a server-side o/s for Oracle.

How to choose a right server for Oracle Database!

Hi all,
Is there any formular that allows me to find the appropriate server configuration for Oracle database 11g?
Please help!
Thank you all.
Dan.
Edited by: Dan on 01:45 06-01-2013

Simply put ... no.
Determining the correct server is a dance between hardware vendors (one point of input to be treated with general distrust), internal expertise and experience working with similar systems, and most importantly understanding the behaviour of what you are building.
Here are some sample questions to start the ball rolling.
1. What operating system expertise does your organization have?
2. What operating system expertise is readily available in the community from which you hire applicants?
3. What type of application?
4. What are up-time expectations?
5. Requirements for high availability?
6. Requirements for time to perform a full recovery?
7. Requirements for security?
8. Storage footprint (dictates internal storage versus SAN, NAS, or ZFS)
9. Anticipated growth (3-7 years)
Everyone wants to sell you CPU clock-ticks, more RAM, more IOPS, etc. But the first thing you need to understand is the capabilities you require that are generic: Required of any solution. Only when you have a clear understanding of these factors are you ready to discuss whether the solution is a pizza box or an ODA ... an Exadata or an IBM System Z.
Far too often I find people purchasing RAM they don't need with CPU speeds that exceed the ability of their network infrastructure to move the data so pay special attention when you are ready to make your purchase to engineered systems like the ODA.
