Differences in costs of Oracle Database

Hi,
Oracle9i Database Enterprise Edition cost is $40,000 in Oracle. If we purchase the same software from www.pro-dba.com it costs only $32,000. Why this difference in costs. Are there any extra benifits if it is purchased from Oracle.
What are the differences between Oracle Enterprise Edition and Personal Edition. Can we use Personal Edition for production purpose.
Is oc4j free with Oracle Enterprise Edition and Personal Edition?
Thanks in advance.
With Regards

DBA_HIST_SQL_PLAN- data dictionary view also contain execution plan information for each child cursor bun in workload repository.Actually this view captures information from V$SQL_PLAN and is used with the DBA_HIST_SQLSTAT .
dbms_xplan.display_cursor - function displays explain plan of any cursor loaded in the cursor cache. See more information below links:

Differences between different versions of Oracle Database 10 g

I have some questions about the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 that we download from Oracle web site.
1)Does the software that we download from Oracle web site is similar to Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition or Standard Edition One or to which edition? In other words, similar to which edition?
2)What are the differences between Enterprise, Standard, and Standard Edition one?
3)Are they any features included in the licensing Oracle Database that does not include in the free one that we download from Oracle web site?

The dowloaded software contains every of the four editions. You choose which edition you want during the installation process.
The differences and extra-cost options are described in this paper on OTN

Difference between upgrdae and migration about oracle database

Difference between upgrdae and migration about oracle database
please give the comments

Well, the question is almost philosophic... 
In 9i, there is a Migration Guide whereas in 10g there is a Upgrade Guide. 
Furthermore, in 9i, there is the command line startup migrate whereas in 10g that's startup upgrade.
Somebody think upgrade when go to new release, and migration when go to new version. 
Others think upgrade when new version replace database in place, and migration when new version include a move of database. 
Another point of view is : upgrade is for technical, and migration for application/data. 
 
Well, after these explanations, your upgrade/migratation notion will not be more clear, but I think that is not very important, only a terminology game. The most important is to know what you need : new version or new release.

Difference in select for update of - in Oracle Database 10g and 11g

Hi, I found out that Oracle Database 10g and 11g treat the following PL/SQL block differently (I am using scott schema for convenience):
DECLARE
  v_ename bonus.ename%TYPE;
BEGIN
  SELECT b.ename
    INTO v_ename
    FROM bonus b
    JOIN emp e ON b.ename = e.ename
    JOIN dept d ON d.deptno = e.deptno
   WHERE b.ename = 'Scott'
     FOR UPDATE OF b.ename;
END;
/While in 10g (10.2) this code ends successfully (well NO_DATA_FOUND exception is raised but that is expected), in 11g (11.2) it raises exception "column ambiguously defined". And that is definitely not expected. It seems like it does not take into account table alias because I found out that when I change the column in FOR UPDATE OF e.empno (also does not work) to e.mgr (which is unique) it starts working. So is this some error in 11g? Any thoughts?

It seems that my question was answered here - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2736426/difference-in-select-for-update-of-in-oracle-database-10g-and-11g

The behaviour seems like it really is a bug and can be avoided using non-ANSI syntax. (It makes me wonder why Oracle maintains two query languages while dumb me thinks that this is just a preprocessor matter and query engine could be the same).

Is there any difference in oracle database and forms database

i want to know is there any difference in oracle database and forms 6i database
,if i import some file through oracle database then same data will exist in forms database or not
thanks

Oracle Forms is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool not a database. With Forms, you connect to an Oracle database to query and display data from the database as well as insert new or update existing data. Consequently, if exists in the database - you should be able to display it in a Form.

Oracle Database Standard Edition One's Cost

Dear all
I am very interest on the Oracle Database Standard Edition One, (US$149 per user (minimum five users)) includes the functionality and the cost (only US$ 149*5). However, I would like to know that is there any hidden cost for it? (e.g. maintaince fee etc.) Meanwhile, is there any backward compatible for the such license (i.e. I buy 10g version but use 8/8i version in production)
Anyone can has such experience and share for it?
Thanks in advance
Regards

There is generally a lot of confusion around Standard Editoin One. Here is my understanding, along with rationale and links supporting my understanding.
1) Standard Edition One was NOT part of Oracle8i, and NOT part of Oracle9i release 1.
Oracle's "Oracle9i Family of products" document, released shortly after 9iR1, does not mention SE1. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oracle9i/pdf/o9i_family_features.pdf
2) Standard Edition One MAY be part of Oracle9i Release 2 family, but it's not likely.
On metalink, there are a few 'forum' documents that discuss SE1 and Oracle9i. However, document #530049.994 from forum thread "Is Standard Edition One available in 9i/9ir2", dated 05-OCT-2004 says SE1 is a 10g new thing. (This post should be available in these forums.)
3) No-one purchasing a new license should be installing a fresh copy of Oracle8i and probably not Oracle9i
You purchase the license primarily to obtain (be able to purchase) support. Oracle8i is no longer under support (except through an exorbitantly priced extended support contract) and Oracle9i is abount to be mved to extended support. The question is ... why?
4) Personal Edition is NOT being replaced by SE1.
The Standard Edition One is a subset of Standard Edition - mainly missing RAC, so it is limited to one machine only. From the Oracle Database 10g Licensing document we note that the Personal Edition provides ALL FEATURES AND OPTIONS of the Enterprise Edition, except RAC.
It is fairly obvious from this that Personal Edition is targetted at developers who need metalink access, whereas Standard Edition One is targetted at workgroups that would consider using SQL Server STabdard/Workgroup Edition.

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.

Difference between Oracle Database XE and APEX?

I searched, but couldn't seem to find if this question had already been answered.
I just picked up beginning oracle application express by wrox.
I came to oracle and downloaded Oracle Database XE then went to search for apex.
Installed Oracle Database XE ..signing is as system your options appear to be administration, object browser, sql, and utilities.
unlocked the HR sample user account and logged in..it has the same options above, but also application builder.
So, I guess my question is..
1. why does HR have application builder, but system does not?
2. do you need to download and install Apex or is apex already preinstalled using Oracle Database XE?
3. is Apex the same thing as application builder or are they completely different.
Thank you for you answers
Thomas

Oracle 11g XE is the FREE version of the Oracle database product.. APEX is the development product that LIVES in the Oracle database. So if you download the database, you get a copy of APEX to use...
System is NOT a usual user in the database, and in fact you should NOT be using it unless you need to change some settings in the database..
Thank you,

Oracle Database migration to Exadata

Dear Folks,
I have a requirement to migrate our existing Oracle Database to Exadata Machine. Below is the source & destination details:
Source:
Oracle Database 11.1.0.6 Verson & Oracle DB 11.2.0.3
Non-Exadata Server
Linux Enivrionment
DB Size: 12TB
Destination:
Oracle Exadata 12.1
Oracle Database 12.1
Linux Environment
System Dowtime would be available for 24-30 hours.
Kindly clarify below:
1. Do we need to upgrade the source database (either 11.1 or 11.2) to 12c before migration?
2. Any upgarde activity after migration?
3. Which migration method is best suited in our case?
4. Things to be noted before migration activity?
Thanks for your valuable inputs.
Regards
Saurabh

Saurabh,
1. Do we need to upgrade the source database (either 11.1 or 11.2) to 12c before migration?
This would help if you wanted to drop the database in place as this would allow a standby database to be used which would reduce downtime or a backup and recovery to move the database as is into the Exadata. This does not however allow you the chance to put in some things that could help you on the Exadata such as additional partitioning/adjusting partitioning, Advanced Compression and HCC Compression.
2. Any upgrade activity after migration?
If you upgrade the current environment first then not there would not be additional work. However if you do not then you will need to explore a few options you could have depending on your requirements and desires for your exadata.
3. Which migration method is best suited in our case?
I would suggest some conversations with Oracle and/or a trusted firm that has done a few Exadata implementations to explore your migration options as well as what would be best for your environment as that can depend on a lot of variables that are hard to completely cover in a forum. At a high level I typically have recommended when moving to Exadata that you setup the database to utilize the features of the exadata for best results. The Exadata migrations I have done thus far have been done using Golden Gate where we examine the partitioning of tables, partition the ones that make sense, implement advanced compression and HCC compression where it makes sense, etc. This gives us an environment that fits with the Exadata rather then a drop an existing database in place though that works very well. Doing it with Golden Gate eliminates the migration issues for the database version difference as well as other migration potential issues as it offers the most flexibility, but there is a cost for Golden Gate to be aware of as well so may not work for you and Golden Gate will keep your downtime way down as well and give you opportunity to ensure that the upgrade/implementation will be smooth by giving some real work load testing to be done..
4. Things to be noted before migration activity?
Again I would suggest some conversations with Oracle and/or a trusted firm that has done a few Exadata implementations to explore your migration options as well as what would be best for your environment as that can depend on a lot of variables that are hard to completely cover in a forum. In short here are some items that may help keep in mind exadata is a platform that has some advantages that no other platform can offer, while a drop in place does work and does make improvements, it is nothing compared to the improves that could be if you plan well and implement with the features Exadata has to offer. The use of Real Application Testing Database Replay and flashback database will allow you to implement the features, test then with a real workload and tune it well before production day and allow you to be nearly 100% confident that you have a well running tuned system on the Exadata before going live. The use of Golden Gate allows you to get an in Sync database run many replays of workloads on the Exadata without losing the sync giving you time and ability to test different workload partitioning and compression options. Very nice flexibility.
Hope this helps...

Does Oracle OLAP comes with Oracle Database 10g ?

1.Does Oracle OLAP comes with Oracle Database 10g or do we need seperate software to have this ?.
2.If I create a Cube with Analytic work space manager the cube is going to be stored in the Database ( meaning the in the table space where OLAP is Stored).
3. What is the difference between Analtyic work space manager and discoverer For Olap.
Help is higly appreciated ..
Thanks, Prasad

One thing to point out : The OLAP option is a costed database option, so while this is automatically installed and part of your database you do have to purchase additional licenses to use this feature. You will need to check with your Oracle account manager to see if you are actually licensed to use this feature.
If you have existing 9i OLAP cubes these can be quickly and easily migrated to 10g OLAP and the documentation explains how to do this. However, there are many new features that are part of 10g OLAP that will improve the performance of your data model that will not be enabled as part of a migration process. Based on my experiences it would be quicker and easier (depending on the size of your existing 9i OLAP cubes) to consider rebuilding your data model using these new 10g features. You should be able to export all the dimensions to XML templates from 9i OLAP and import the templates into the 10g schema and reload your dimensions.
For the cubes you will probably want to consider using partitioning, composites and compression to provide maximum flexibility and performance for your new data model. There is more information on these features within the OLAP documentation and in the many whitepapers and presentations on the OLAP home page on OTN.
For moving data from SQL Server to 10g OLAP much depends on the nature of the data transfer. If it is a one-off bulk data load then you could consider using the normal MS command line tools to dump the data out and transfer it to Oracle. Alternatively, you could consider using Oracle Data Integrator to manage the extraction of the SQL Server data and the data load process into Oracle 10g relational tables. If you decide to use Data Integrator this will require additional licenses.
If you can extract the data from SQL Server to flat files you can use Oracle Warehouse Builder (basic ETL is free as part of the 10g database license) to load that flat file data via external tables. Warehouse Builder can also be used to define your OLAP data model (think of Warehouse Builder as a more powerful version of Analytic Workspace Manager) and provides tools to load the data directly into your OLAP dimensions and cubes. You can get more information on managing OLAP data models with Warehouse Builder the Warehouse Builder home page on OTN.
There are no facilities to modify Discoverer Viewer to add customisations. You can add company logos, modify certain colors and/or hide certain features but it is not possible to add additional features. You may want to consider using BI Beans to provide this type of environment. BI Beans is the development framework used to create Discoverer Viewer. You can create customised JSP pages that look identical to Discoverer Viewer pages with the added benefit of providing your own specific features. You can get more information on the BI Beans home page on OTN.
