Differences between 8 and 10g

Can anyone help, i am trying to find documentation on the differences between sql 8.0.6 and 10, to find the functions that have been added/removed etc.,but cannot find one anywhere?

http://tahiti.oracle.com has all of Oracle's documentation online. There should be new features guides for 8i, 9i, and 10g that will have this sort of information. So far as I'm aware, Oracle has only added new SQL functions.

Important differences between oracle 10g and 11g

Hi friends, can anyone tell me (pointwise) what are the major (and minor) differences between Oracle 10g and 11g.
Please point me to some documents if possible.
Thanks in advance

The name of the link says it all: "top_features."
In short it is Oracle's list of what they have for marketing and sales reasons designated "top features."
It is not intended to be, and is not, a complete list of features. Often the features Oracle does not
talk about are the most important.
Let me give you some examples. I have never seen Oracle announce DBMS_XPLAN as a new feature
yet you should not run an explain plan without it. Neither have I ever seen Oracle announce the new
NO_DATA_NEEDED predefined exception. I have listed literally hundreds of new features you will not
find in Oracle's new features docs.
I did a presentation at OpenWorld this year as part of the unconference titled "New Features in
Database 11gR2 that Oracle will not announce." It was easy to prepare a one hour presentation with
little fear of being proved incorrect. As I turned out only one of the features I presented was mentioned
by Oracle.
You can find the presentation slides here:

Difference between and != operators

Hi All,
My question may be very basic to you all
Please let me know the difference between <> and != operators
Thanks in advance

user609996 wrote:
Sorry to all,
the operator "<>" is not printed
I want the difference between "<>" and "!=" operators.And as you've already been told there is no difference between the <> and != operators. They mean the same thing, but are just different representations of it.
The only difference is that the Oracle forum can't display <> if it is just typed in normally. To show it we have to type &lt and &gt with a ";" after each.

Difference between & and && operater and difference between and

what is difference between & and && oprater in java
and what is difference between << and <<< operater

i am sorry i dont know about << ,<<<< There isn't a <<< operator.
However I presume the operator being referred to is >>>
They are bit shifting operators.
In fact its the [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/bitwise.html]very next page of the tutorial linked to above.
<< == left shift
== right shift,
== right shift (unsigned)

Difference between " " and ' ' in oracle

Hi
What is the difference between " " and ' ' in oracle

Generally, single quotes ' are used as string delimiters. Double quotes are NOT string delimters in SQL, but are used to preserve the precise representation of what's enclosed - for instance, "abc" would be recognized as lowercase in situations where SQL would automatically translate them into upper case. Thus, something like
SQL> select dummy as "dummy"
2 from dual;
d
Xmeans to select the dummy column but preserve the name in lower case where normally the 'd' in the column name (cut off) would be 'D'
Using empty strings to represtent nulls has already been discussed on this thread. Remember that spaces are NOT nulls. I personally find the replace-null-with-space method a bit clunky, but a lot of mainframe-to-oracle conversions use it.

Difference Between OBIEE 10g and OBIEE 11g

Hi everyone,
I have a doubt when choosing two versions of OBIEE, 10g and 11g.
Actually, is there any big difference between 10g and 11 version ?
From the point of view of easiness finding tutorial in internet, simplicity of using the tool, and other considerations, which one is better ?
I hope you guys could also explain with your arguments.
Thanks

Hi,
Few differences..
Architectures-
OBIEE 11g architecture...http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/07/09/obiee-11gr1-architecture-and-use-of-weblogic-server/
OBIEE 10g architecture....http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/obiee_overview
Features-
New features in OBIEE11g...Re: OBIEE 11g
http://blogs.oracle.com/robreynolds/2010/07/new_administration_features_of.html
I have a doubt when choosing two versions of OBIEE, 10g and 11g.If you are new to OBIEE its best to start with 10g,there are lot changes in 11g.It takes time to get used to it and you many not get enough docs or material to read,may face some new issues also.
Actually, is there any big difference between 10g and 11 version ? Yes there are some differences between them...you can see them in above links.(many things like graphs,server)
From the point of view of easiness finding tutorial in internet, simplicity of using the tool, and other considerations, which one is better ?For sure obiee 10g as 11g is new many of them just started using it,so you may get less help on this if you face issues & may not get enough tutorial in internet and OBIEE10g is bit easy to use.
Its best to you go for OBIEE10g,parallely you can try 11g.

Other than that, there are about 2 years of software changes between the .1 of each release. According to http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14261/whatsnew.htm#sthref37 there was some work done in forall in R1, so they probably got it right by R2.
Can I assume you have an unpatched R1?

What are the differences between ESB 10g and OSB 10g

Hi,
I'm newbie to OSB 10g. I have installed OSB 10g.
I came to know after Oracle acquired BEA, the ALSB is renamed as OSB.
I'm curious to know what are the differences between ESB and OSB.
If there are many differences, please post any links which provide the required information in detail.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Udaya

the 'old' esb has been renamed to mediator and is now only used as component in your sca application.
the two service buses can't really be compared since the osb (former alsb) has way more functionality in it.
Oracle gave it it's own place in his soa portfolio and the old esb can only be used als mediator in your sca application.
On top of your sca application you could use the OSB to complete your architecture design.
the difference between both.
esb (now used as mediator) can only be used in your sca application
in here you will use it mostly for routing/transformation, and there is some functionality for assign/java callouts conditional routing
the osb is complete product with a lot of functionality in it. Everything you used the old 'esb' for can be done in the OSB and with a lot of extra's.
routing/transformation/service call outs/java callouts/transport virtualization/security/and more and more
you should read the guides of the OSB to get an idea of everything it can do for you.

Major differences between Oracle 10g Release 1 and Oracle 10g Release 2?

What are the major changes and differences between Oracle 10.1 and 10.2?
Thanks

Why not look through the 10.2 New Features doc?
In my experience, the "major changes" are almost always environment-specific. "Transliteration for Japanese Kana Conversion", for example, is likely to be a huge deal for a few organizations (i.e. big enough to justify a migration all by itself). Other organizations and applications, on the other hand, won't care in the least.

Whats the difference between and Album and a Smart Album

OK, just upgraded.... So, whats the difference between an Album and a Smart Album?
Also, I like to organise my stuff, so if I create a folder for each year, and then a project within that year, why is it that the photos are always in both - and then again if I chose to create an album specific to a project, they are there again.
So it might look:
          Folder (2012 Equine Photography)
               Project - Specific Events
                    Album - Big Barn Dressage May
Does this mean the individual photo is stored 3 times and using 3 times the space?
Thanks guys!

No. Conceptually the Master only lives lives in the single (time based) Project you import it into. Albums are just collections of pointers that point to images in various Projects.
"Big Barn Dressage May" could be a Project, but only if it is only one day and a limited number of image files; otherwise an Album. "2012 Equine Photography" should be an album or a Folder of Albums. "Specific Events" could be an Album or a Folder of Albums.
A Project should not be used as a Folder.
From an earlier post of mine:
Folders are indeed flexible organizational tools but IMO often overused. Folders can effectively hide contents from view and therefore require users to remember how folders are nested and what is inside them. Folders were the only way to deal with single-original film, but are IMO limiting to image database thinking.
The way I look at it conceptually:
Aperture is a database (DB), and each image file lives in one Project.
Albums are just collections of Pointers that point to individual image files living in one or more Projects. Since they just contain pointers, albums can be created or deleted at will without affecting image files. Very powerful. And Albums of pointers take up almost zero space, so they are fast and do not make the Library size grow.
Keywords can be applied to every image separately or in batches. Keywords are hugely powerful and largely obviate the need for folders. Not that we should never use folders, just that we should use folders only when useful organizationally - - after first determining that using keywords and albums is not a better approach.
As one example imagine the keyword "flowers." Every image of a 100,000 images Library that has some flowers in it has the keyword flowers. Then say we want to put flowers in an ad, or as background for a show of some kind, or to print pix for a party, or even just to look for an image for some other reason. We can find every flower image in a 100k-image database in 2 seconds, and in another few seconds create an Album called "Flowers" that points to all of those individual images.
Similarly all family pix can have a keyword "family" and all work pix can have a key word "work." Each individual pic may have any number of keywords. Such pic characteristics (work, family, flowers, etc.) should not be organized via folders.
So by using keywords and albums we can have instant access to every image everywhere, very cool. And keywords and albums essentially take up no space in the database.
Another approach is to use a folder "Family" for family pix, a folder "Flowers" for flowers pix and another folder "Work" for work pix. IMO such folders usage is a very poor approach to using an images database (probably stemming from old paper or film work practices). Note that one cannot put an image with family in a field of flowers at a work picnic in all three folders; but it is instant with keywords.

Difference between and lock and eneque in oracle

Please give the difference between a lock and eneque in oracle
Naveen

Here is what Oracle defines an Enqueue to be in the 9.2 Glossary >>
enqueue
Shared memory structures that serialize access to database resources. Enqueues are local to one instance if Real Application Clusters is not enabled. When you enable Real Application Clusters, enqueues can be local or global to a database. (See also: latch, lock, and resource.)
<<
There is also a type of enqueue associated with Advanced Queueing. Similar concept but different specialized purpose.
Generally speaking Locks on the other hand serialize access to row data. Oracle actually records row locks in the data blocks.
Enqueues, Locks, and Latches are perform the same basic function: serialize access but the methods are implemented differently and applied to different functional areas of the rdbms.

Difference between ';' and '/' in the SQL scripts

Hi All,
Could anyone please let me know the difference between placing ';' and '/' in the sql scripts.
I am placing couple of insert statements in a textfile with .sql extension and running it from the sql prompt.
Which one( ';' or '/') should be keep at the end of each statement in the script.
SQL> SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL;
SYSDATE
12-MAY-13
SQL> SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL
2 /
SYSDATE
12-MAY-13Thanks,

My doubt is how it understands or the difference b/w the below two view statements one with ';' and another one with '/'. Sorry if i am unclear.They are identical in SQL*Plus. These characters mean "+send entered/buffered text to Oracle to parse and execute+".
So - SQL*Plus sends "+create or replace view ev1 as select ename , sal from emp+" to the server (via a cursor execute):
create or replace view ev1 as select ename , sal from emp
/And again, SQL*Plus sends "+create or replace view ev1 as select ename , sal from emp+" to the server (via a cursor execute):
create or replace view ev2 as select ename , sal from emp;These are identical statements.
As I mentioned in the post I referred you to. Oracle also uses the ";" character in the PL/SQL language. So when you enter PL/SQL code in SQL*Plus, you do not want SQL*Plus to send each line of PL/SQL code to the server. Instead, you want it to wait till the last statement has been entered and then send the the whole block to the server to be parsed and executed,
SQL*Plus has a basic parser itself. It uses that to figure out what you have entered, and whether a ";" you enter is an instruction from you to it, to send the text to the server - or when you enter a ";", it is part of the text for the server and that it should not react to it.
Thus when you enter the following, SQL*Plus recognises that you are using the SQL language, and as this language does not use ";" characters, a ";" character when entered means that it needs to send the text to the server to be parsed and executed:
SQL> select * from emp;
// ; character instructs SQL*Plus to create and execute cursor "select * from emp"When you enter PL/SQL code, SQL*Pus recognises that and knows that ";" characters entered indicates end-of-statement for PL//SQL and that it should not act on that,
SQL> begin
2 null;
3 end;
4 /
// SQL*Plus ignores the ";" character - and the "/" character is used to
// instruct SQL*Plus to create and execute cursor"begin<LF>null;><LF>end;"
