Differences between Oracle 8i for a UNIX Platform and a Linux Platform

I want to know the differences between Oracle 8i for a UNIX Platform and Oracle 8i for a Linux Platform. And which platform is better?
Thanks

We have installed Oracle 8i on Solaris 8 and it had a great performance, of course that the hardware and licence invested here was costed my the office where i work. Personaly i'd installed linux reh hat 8 and oracle 8i, imagine that, it could be implemented by any individual that has the time to do so.
By buyinng from a company that has a good background you could be sure that you will have support.
Bottom line, if you have the $ to buy great hardware go for a unix platform. But if you don't a Red Hat Linux Server Licence with a 1 year sopport and Oracle data base is about 3500Dls.

    Hello,
    J would like to know if there are some differences between Oracle 8i for a UNIX Platform and Oracle 8i for a Linux Platform.
    I know that there are some differences on Oracle 8i Parallel Server and i know that some products are not include like precompiler (Mod*Ada, Pro*FORTRAN) on a Linux Platform.
    Thank you.

  • Differences between Oracle Forms 11.1.1.6  and 11.1.2

    Hello !
    Which version should I choose 11.1.2 or 11.1.1.6
    11.1.2 must me the latest one aka 11gR2
    11.1.1.6 must be 11gR1 PS5
    Am i right ?
    but in the forms home page it seems that the 11.1.1.6 is the latest version ??
    Oracle Forms 11.1.1.6 Released
    The latest version of Oracle Forms (11.1.1.6) has been released.
    This can be downloaded from My Oracle Support (MOS)
    23-Feb-2012
    Oracle Forms 11g Release 2 has been released. Read about the new features.
    Oct-2011
    I suppose that in a MiddleWare stack : SOA suite + BI publisher + Forms, the 11.1.1.6 (11gR1 PS5) is the best choice.
    Can somebody explain me the differences between Oracle Forms 11.1.1.6 and 11.1.2 ?
    Thanks
    Regards

    There are many new features in 11.1.2.0 that do not exist in 11.1.1. Some of the most significant new features are listed in the 11gR2 New Features documentation found on this page:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms
    Additional information about new features and changes can be found in the product documentation for 11gR2, which is here:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24269_01/index.htm
    One important thing to note is that FMw 11.1.2 (11gR2) does not include Portal or Discover. So if you need either or both of these you will need to stick with 11.1.1.Hi Michael,
    One of the features which is very very important in my point of view is
    Reduced Installation Footprint
    In order to reduce the resource requirements on development machines, you can perform an
    installation specifically tailored for development. This will limit the number of software products
    and servers installed on the machine whilst still allowing a developer to build, run and test their
    Forms application.
    If this feature is only available for the 11.1.2 release then the choice is made !
    Thanks !
    Jean-Yves
    ps : and we don't use any portal or discoverer :-)

  • Difference Between Oracle 10.2.0.3.0 and 10.2.0.4.0

    Hi All,
    Could any body let me know the difference between two patches of oracle 10g as in development environment patch 4 is installed but on client side patch 3 is running in my scenario.
    Thanks & Regards
    Adil

    The list of bugs fixed in the 10.2.0.4 patchset is in the README for the patchset, which you can download on Metalink in the same place you would download the patchset. Short of looking through each bug on the README, I don't think there is a sensible way to list the differences.

  • Find the difference between two dates for the specific month and year

    Hi,
    I have two dates, start date is 30/12/2012 and end date is 04/01/2013. Using datediff I found the difference of days between two dates. But I find the no of days in January 2013. ie output is 4 instead of 6. I input month and year to find the no of days
    for that date. In this case I input Jan 2013. How can I sql this ?

    I don't understand how most of the answers provided here not analytically solving the problem with many cases possible.
    First let me understand you:
    You have 2 dates range and you want to calculate day range for specific month and year between the original date range.
    declare @for_month int = 1 --January
    declare @for_year int = 2013
    declare @StartDate date = '2012-12-20'
    declare @EndDate date = '2013-01-04'
    SELECT
    CASE
    WHEN (DATEPART(MONTH, @StartDate) = @for_month and DATEPART(MONTH, @EndDate) = @for_month) and ((DATEPART(YEAR, @StartDate) = @for_year or DATEPART(YEAR, @EndDate) = @for_year)) THEN
    DATEDIFF(DAY, @StartDate,@EndDate)
    WHEN (@StartDate < cast(CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) and (@EndDate between (cast(CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) and (cast(DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) + 1, 0)) as date))) THEN
    DATEDIFF(DAY, DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, -1, @EndDate)-1, 0),@EndDate)
    WHEN (@EndDate > cast(DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) + 1, 0)) as date)) and (@StartDate between (cast(CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) and (cast(DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) + 1, 0)) as date))) THEN
    DATEDIFF(DAY, @StartDate,DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, @StartDate) + 1, 0))) + 1
    WHEN ((DATEDIFF(DAY, @StartDate, cast(DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) + 1, 0)) as date)) >= 0) and (DATEDIFF(DAY, cast(CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date), @EndDate) >= 0)) THEN
    DATEDIFF(DAY, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as datetime), DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as datetime)) + 1, 0))) + 1
    ELSE
    0
    END as [DD]
    I don't know how you calculate day range between 01/01/2013 and 04/01/2013
    is 4, it is actually is 3 but if that is the case, you can add 1 from the condition.

  • Difference between Oracle Enetrprise Manager 10.1.2. and 10.1.3

    We have J2EE application deployed on Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.
    For setting up and deploying application we use Enterprise manager.
    We are intending to upgrade onto version 10.1.3. At the beginning we
    tried new Enterprise manager. We are unpleasantly surprised how different
    new version is.
    For start, we need to solve two things:
    1. In defined datasource we had oracle Property
    NLS_SORT - Czech for making database sort the right way. If we tried to put this property
    in new Enterprise manager (Under Data Source, Properties), this is called:
    An error has occurred.
    "No such property: NLS_SORT, existing writable properties are: [TNSEntryName, URL, connectionCacheName..."
    Where to put it now ? Can it be done at all?
    2. How to define java parameters ?
    In old version, there were Server Properties, Command Line Options, Java Options
    In new version we couldn't find any gui interface to define this. We googled, that ompn.xml
    must be modified. Strange way to improve...
    And finally we tried latest OAS installation available, the http:\\localhost\em address was not working at all.
    Are we doing something wrong ? Thanks.

  • Difference between Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse 11gR1 & Eclipse IDE

    Dear ,
    what is the difference between Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse 11gR1 (link http://blogs.oracle.com/devtools/2009/08/oracle_enterprise_pack_for_ecl_2.html)

    Hello,
    Thanks for your question.
    The Web Service Design View was part of the Workshop product.
    For OEPE, which was a new product starting in the summer of 2008, we don't have a Web Service Design view.
    The Web Service Design View and Properties view for Workshop supported a lot of JAX-RPC features.
    Given enough interest we will certainly consider a Design View for OEPE that would support the JAX-WS web service platform.
    Regards,
    Andrew

  • What are the Basic Differences between Oracle and  MS-SQL server Database?

    Hello,
            anybody pls Guide me about the Differences between Oracle and MS-SQL server Database.and also IBM Databases also
    Regards,
    Balaram

    SQL Server only works on Windows-based platforms, including Windows 9x, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows CE.
    In comparison with SQL Server , OracleDatabase supports all known platforms, including Windows-based platforms, AIX-Based Systems, Compaq Tru64 UNIX, HP 9000 Series HP-UX, Linux Intel, Sun Solaris and so on.
    The SQL Server  advantages:
    SQL Server  holds the top TPC-C performance and price/performance results.
    SQL Server  is generally accepted as easier to install, use and manage.
    The Oracle  Database advantages:
    Oracle  Database supports all known platforms, not only the Windows-based platforms.
    PL/SQL is more powerful language than T-SQL.
    More fine-tuning to the configuration can be done via start-up parameters.

    What's so hard about finding a "best linux distro for installing Oracle11g"? The supported distros are listed in the fine Installation Guide for Linux. At the top of the list is Oracle's own Oracle Linux, which is in the same family as Red Hat.
    so i am planning to switch to MySQL. Please help, Thanks in advance.

    Hi all,
    I would like to know what the differences between Oracle and other NoSQL database are.
    When and why should we use Oracle?I suggest that you start here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/nosqldb/overview/index.html
    Is Oracle NoSQL database link with Big Data Appliance?Yes, Oracle NoSQL Database will be a component of the Big Data Appliance.
    Can we use map-reduce on a single personal computer? How should we install Oracle NoSQL database to use map reduce on a single personal computer?Yes, I believe you can run M/R on a single computer. Consult the various pieces of documentation available on the web. You may run Oracle NoSQL Database on the same computer that you are running M/R on, but it is likely that they will compete for CPU and IO resources and therefore performance may suffer.
    Do we also have eventual consistency with Oracle NoSQL database? Yes.
    Can we lose data if master node fails?If you run Oracle NoSQL Database with the default (recommended) durability settings, then if the master fails, a new one will be elected and data is not lost.
    Are transactions ACID with Oracle NoSQL database? How can we prove it?Yes, each operation is executed in an ACID transaction. The API has the concept of "multi" operations which allow the caller to perform multiple operations on sets of records with the same major key, but different minor keys. Those operations are also performed within a transaction.

  • Differences between oracle text in enterprise and express editions

    are there any differences between oracle text features found in express edition and ent. edition. if so what are they?

    There is a list of features available in the online documentation. The only thing that it mentions as being missing from Oracle Text are the english and french knowledge bases. There isn't any Intermedia or Ultra Search or Data Mining. Here is a link to the 10g Express Edition features guide:
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/license.102/b25456/toc.htm#BABDDIAE
    There is a separate discussion group for 10g Express Edition, that requires a separate free registration:
    Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)
    There is a thread on this subject in the 10g Express discussion group:
    Oracle Text
    The above thread includes the following quick comparison:
    If it's not in Standard Edition One, it is not in Express Edition. (Therefore everything that is in Enterprise but not in Standard Edition, is also not in Express Edition. That includes all EE-only options.)
    If it requires Java in the database, it is not in Express Edition.
    Other than that, it's mainly the size limits: 1 CPU (no parallel processing), 1 GB RAM, and 4 GB user-related tablespaces.
