Difference between LDAP & oracle DB
Hi..All,
I am totally new to the LDAP concepts. I attended a small training regarding LDAP. As far I I learned , its allows you to autheticate a user against the LDAP db. THe db is well tuned to do heavy weight read . My question is how does it differ from directly doing to a Oracle database to autheticate the user instead of going thru LDAP.
TIA,
Praveen
LDAP is a directory access protocol. It doesn't provide all the capabilities of an RDBMS like Oracle. It is a specialized protocol for accessing data that is more often read than updated. It is typically used to store user information and as such is used a lot for security infrastructure. A general relational DBMS may not have such specific built-in support for authentication and authorization. LDAP provides significant security support built-in.
In fact, Oracle (the company) has an LDAP offering which uses Oracle as the underlying data repository.

Please help meWhat docoument you are referring to?
If you source the application env file APPS<CONTEXT_NAME>.env file under $APPL_TOP directory then this will set ORACLE_HOME to 10.1.2
If you source the application env file <CONTEXT_NAME>.env file under $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3 directory then this will set ORACLE_HOME to 10.1.3

Differences between Headstart Oracle Designer and Headstart for Apps
Hello,
I would like to know where i can find an online demonstration of the product "Headtsart for Apps 11i" ?
I have found the online demonstration of the product "Headtsart Oracle Designer" at the url :
http://otn.oracle.com/products/headstart/headstartdemo_viewlet.html
I would like to compare the functionalities of these two products (the tabs option for example).
For a new application, we have the choice between "Headstart for apps"+"Oracle Application" environment or "Headstart Oracle Designer" alone.
If no demonstration exists, could you tell me the difference between these two products (i have understood that one run under OA and the other run alone) ?Hi,
Headstart for Apps and Headstart Oracle Designer are based on the same idea, and therefore there are many similarties between the two. The main differences are:
* the look and feel
Headstart for Apps is used to generate Oracle Form screens with the same look and feel as a standard Oracle Application screen. Headstart Oracle Designer has its own look and feel.
Headstart for Apps also enables/eases some Oracle Applications specific look and feel features (although Headstart Oracle Designer has also adopted some of these).
* dependency of Oracle Applications
Forms generated with Headstart for Apps cannot run outside the Oracle Applications framework. You will use the same security mechanism as for an Oracle Applications form, the same messaging system, and you can use the standard Oracle Applications built ins.
Headstart Oracle Designer runs completely outside the Oracle Applications framework, there is a separate messaging system, and you cannot use the Oracle Applications built ins.
Hope this helps! -
UNIX / LINUX: difference between the oracle and dba user on the filesystem
I have always logged into the server with the oracle user to perform impdp/expdp, as well as alter the tnsnames.ora file, and to run tkprof.
We're possibly going to start up a server in our datacenter where we're only going to be able to log into the server as dba. I'm being asked if that's going to be a problem for me to fulfill my duties.
Could someone give a description of the difference between the 2 accounts at the filesystem level? Or link me to a document? It's been 6+ years since we made this decision to log in as oracle, and so I am admittedly rusty on the topic.
--=cfIt is becoming more common to not allow a direct login to the server as oracle. Instead the DBAs each have their own account (and be members of the dba group). These DBAs have SUDO permission to SUDO SU (switch user) to the oracle account so that there is a log of who was operating as oracle on the server at the time. This could be what you are hearing about. Check with your sysadmins and see if this is what they intend - it should satisfy their security (and audit) requirements.

Difference between deploying oracle report in RDF format and REP format
Hi All,
Good Day!!!
We are frequently encountering report failures in our production environment with the error message "REP-1247: There exist uncompiled program unit(s)"
But the report executes successfully in the next try and the issue is intermittant. In production the reports are deployed in RDF format.
So in our test environment we tried of deploying the reports in REP foramat and we cant find any errors.
Is there Difference in deploying oracle report in RDF format and REP format?
Is there any diffence in execution?
Your inputs will be much appreciated!!!
Thanks in Advance,
JKHi,
REP is to RDF what FMX is to FMB, MMX is to MMB, etc.
Only difference here is that if you deploy RDF, not REP, then the RDF is compiled at runtime by Reports Engine and then executed. In other words, if REP is deployed then it is straightway execute.
That should explain all your observations.
Cheers.
PS: Please post Oracle Report queries on {forum:id=84} forum.

Difference between timestamp oracle datatype as unix timestamp
Hi
We are having a column in our table as create_ts which is the time, the row is updated. We are in need to get this time in Pro*c as unix timestamp type to find out the oldest row from a set of rows.
I found that the following query works when I convert to date and find out the difference.
select TO_NUMBER((TO_DATE (TO_CHAR (CREATE_TS, 'YYYY-MON-DD HH24:MI:SS'),'YYYY-MON-DD HH24:MI:SS') - to_date('01.01.1970 00:00:00','dd.mm.yyyy HH24:mi:ss')) * 24 * 60 * 60 - TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(TZ_OFFSET(sessiontimezone),1,3))*3600 ,9999999999) as timestamp from customer;
However when I keep it as timestamp type I'm getting some error
select TO_NUMBER((CREATE_TS - to_timestamp('01.01.1970 00:00:00','dd.mm.yyyy HH24:mi:ss'))* 24 * 60 * 60 *1000 - TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(TZ_OFFSET(sessiontimezone),1,3))*3600000 ,9999999999999) as timeints from customer;
ERROR
ORA-30081: invalid data type for datetime/interval arithmetic
30081. 00000 - "invalid data type for datetime/interval arithmetic"
FYI: since if I convert to date type, we're losing the microseconds, we had to find the difference using the timestamp type.
thanksWhen you take a difference between two timestamps, You dont get a number(like substracting dates). You get a string that has number of days,hours,minutes and seconds.
You can break the string though,
SQL> SELECT SUBSTR(today,1,30) today,
2 SUBSTR(tomorrow,1,30) tomorrow,
3 SUBSTR((tomorrow-today), INSTR((tomorrow-today),' ')+7,2) "SS",
4 SUBSTR((tomorrow-today), INSTR((tomorrow-today),' ')+4,2) "MI",
5 SUBSTR((tomorrow-today), INSTR((tomorrow-today),' ')+1,2) "HH",
6 TRUNC(TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR((tomorrow-today),1, INSTR(tomorrow-today,' ')))) "Days"
7 FROM (SELECT TO_TIMESTAMP(SYSDATE) today,TO_TIMESTAMP(SYSDATE+1) tomorrow FROM dual);

How do I tell the difference between LDAP, CalDAV, or GAL contact lists.
My iPhone does not have the + button available in the contacts section. I can't edit or add to my contacts. The Manual says the + will not be available if I am using a LDAP, CalDAV, or GAL contact list, but I see no instructions on how to determine this or how to change it. Any Help out there?
Yes , and to rub in the fact they must be in pairs, 2x512 or 2x1gb for your 1 or 2gb ram upgrades, depending on how much extra ram you want to put in you can keep or store them for back up later.
I kept the stock ram in i have 2gb (4x512mb) 2 in riser a and 2 in riser b
how i usually go about putting ram in is:
Load up Slot 1 and 2 in riser A, then load up Slot 1 & 2 in riser B, then fill 3 & 4 in Riser A then same fill 3 & 4 in Riser B -

Difference between Oracle SID and an Oracle Database
Hi
Can any one please differeniate what exactly is the difference between an Oracle SID and a new Oracle Database?
We just need to create another instance of an application (so we need another copy of all tables).
So either we can:
1. New database SID created or
2. New user created in existing schema or
3. New database provided
Which is the best approach?Hi,
New database SID created orThat is equivalent of creating a new database in your case.
New user created in existing schema orYou meant new schema(user) created in existing database. I assumed this because you do not want both application to update the same table copy, but different copy.
3. New database providedIt all depends on your you whether you want to create a new database or a new schema for getting another copy of table.
Some points which I take in mind
1) If I have a production database and I need to create a new set of tables for testing or any other purpose, I would create a new database.
2) If I have a test database and I need to create a new set of tables for testing or any other purpose, if possible I would create a new schema in existing database.
3) If I am running less in resources(hardware/memory), I would be createing a new schema in existing database.
4) If I am not running less in resources and I would to keep these two copies entirely different, then from security purpose I would create a new database.
