Differences between OCA 10g and OCA 11g

Hi,
I am currently studying the OCA 10g Administration I but I have not taken the exam yet. I am also taking the SQL Expert exam but I dont think that is version specific.
I would like to know how different or what the differences are between the OCA 10g and 11g exams are as I fear that 10g will be out of date soon. I am considering just taking the 11g exam even though I have only studied 10g.
I had a look at both the syllabuses and they look pretty similar and was hoping someone could add some personal notations of their experience. I suspect and hope that the major differences would come at the OCP level.
I don't want to go to do OCP as I am only doing to obtain a good foundation for working on the functional side of financials.
Thanks in advance.
Luke

differences are between the OCA 10g and 11g exams
Different version different new features discussed. example : no ADR in the 10g, no invisible index in 10g, DRA etc.
Syllabus maybe the same, but features is different.
I suspect and hope that the major differences would come at the OCP level.
OCP is deeper than OCA. mostly OCA cover all features of the Oracle, and the OCP discussed about more advanced technique like RMAN, ASM, Memory Management, etc. but again 10g and 11g have different features.
That's why for 10g OCP who wants to upgrade become 11g OCP, has to follow 11g new features exam.

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/

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.

Xpath difference between Oracle 10g and Oracle 11g

All,
I'm working on moving our existing stored functions from Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4.0) to Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0) and so far, everything has worked just fine on Oracle 11g...execpt for one xpath statement.
The statement below works fine in Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4.0):
extractValue(inv_dtl_img, '/service//ground/sortKeyCode') AS "srt_key_cd",
Please note: I need to use the double slash "//" in order to ignore the two different elements in the schema.
However, in Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0), when this statement is executed in the stored function, I get this:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got -
The extractValue command is pulling data out of an XMLType column, and the corresponding XML schema looks like:
<service>
<trans>
<ground>
<sortKeyCode>
</sortKeyCode>
</ground>
</trans>
<nontrans>
<ground minOccurs=0>
<sortKeyCode>
</sortKeyCode>
</ground>
</nontrans>
</service>
Please note: In the XML message, the "trans" and "nontrans" elements are exclusive, so both will never be populated at the same time. A typical XML message would look like this:
<service><trans><ground><sortKeyCode>3</sortKeyCode></ground></trans></service>
or this:
<service><nontrans><ground><sortKeyCode>5</sortKeyCode></ground></nontrans></service>
In the schema, the sortKeyCode has been defined in both places as "string maxlen=3", so the datatype of that element is exactly the same in both the "trans" and "nontrans" sections of the schema. The only difference in the schema (outside of the trans and nontrans tags) is the fact that the second "ground" tag is defined with a "minOccurs=0". Could Oracle 11g be treating the schema differently than Oracle 10g, resulting in the error?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The only way to get an quick answer to that one is to file a service request with Oracle support. It could be a bug or a correct change regarding W3C behavior. Despite this, you moving to 11.2, the extract/extractvalue etc propriety Oracle solutions are deprecated from 11.2 and onwards. The more sensible way to move forward, although, I know more work intensive, is to apply the XQuery alternatives like xmlexist, xquery or xmltable functions.
Moving to EXTRACT is a bad idea, because this alway will be treated as an XML fragment. If you unlucky then Oracle will deal with this in memory via DOM (the standard solution regarding XML parsing if every smart thing within Oracle can not be applied) and this will result in a performance downgrade due to high CPU and Memory consumption/overhead...
Your pick...

Difference between Oracle 10g and Oracle 11g when using Distinct in SQL

Hi All,
When I use Distinct in Oracle 10g, the result would be sorted in ascending order automatically, while there is no sorting in the result set in Oracle 11g.
I was using plsql developer to run my sql.
May I know if anyone have the same experience before?
Is there any kind of setting in 11g that I can make the result in order? Thanks!
Edited by: user5810051 on 2011/4/6 下午 8:47

As acadet says, if you want your result ordered you must specify an ORDER BY clause in your query. Just because previous versions of oracle included some ordering as part of the processing of a query, that was not a guaranteed ordering, but just a side-effect. Now that Oracle have improved the internal workings, they've removed the side-effect, and that's why you're not getting the ordering you want, because you were relying on that side-effect rather than explicitly stating the order you wanted.

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:

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.

Differences Between Weblogic 10 and Weblogic 11g

Hi,
I like to know the differnces b/w Weblogic 10 and Weblogic 11g, can someone provide those information.
your help will be highly appriciated!!
Regards,
Sarath

Here is a list that I understand as critical/major differences:
1. JDK has changed from 1.5 to 1.6 (WLS10.0 uses JDK 1.5 and WLS10.3 uses JDK 1.6)
2. Console has been improved with great improvements in performance and when it is deployed
3. WLS10.3 is fully JEE5.0 EJB compliant while WLS10.0 is only JEE5.0 Entity bean compliant
4. New deployment features like fast-swap and on-demand
5. WLDF enhancements
6. ASML2.0 support was introduced in 10.3 in terms of Security enhancements
7. JDBC4.0 supportability
AND a lot more (but the above are more significant to me)
(This is not a comprehensive list of all the differences)

Validate_layer_with_context -- differences between version 10g and 11g

I have a spatial table that validates without issues under v10.2.0.4.0. This table was replicated to a new database running v11.2.0.2.0. Under this environment, the validation reports an "ORA-13366: invalid combination of interior exterior rings" issue. Has anyone else experienced this situation and does anyone have an explanation?
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
Not sure if I actually solved your issue. Any incorrect ring rotation has always thrown ORA-13367 as long as I have been around, 10g or 11g. In 10g you should never have seen true if any of your rings were originally backwards. And indeed its a big polygon but for example I have been doing some testing with "uber" polygons and just the other night was running SIMPLIFY on a polygon with 1.2 million vertices and it took a while (I went to bed) but in the morning it was done.
How are you testing ring rotation? I put a quickie function below. Are you doing things similarly? TO_CURRENT will actually reallocate rings from inner to outer if one is inside the other. But as part of the rearranging will always correct the ring orientation. In your case that seems not to have happened which is very odd. But perhaps this has something to do with the sheer number of polygons in the collection and how they interact (raw speculation). I would first try removing that particular polygon with SDO_UTIL.EXTRACT and see if there is anything squirrelly about it by itself.
Cheers,
Paul
