Dragons ! RH61 and Oracle 8.1.5 db creation

Oh dear. It seems we have found the dragons lair ...
OK, I managed to get through the install section,
in short, run the linux/install/runIns.sh script and do it with KDE.
Now what does the window manager have to do with this ?
Well, there is an explanation, but I was quite surprised that the wm could be an issue ...
The NEXT problem: Create a database.
There is a very good description at http://homepages.tig.com.au/~jmsalvo/linux/oracle8i-3.html
Well what is the source of the problem here ?
All of my efforts (so far) have resulted in the well-known "Not logged on" message.
There is a very "funny" addition to this:
Startup is done manually WITH success - but then the Not logged on appears.
But then I can't shut it down again or anything (Not logged on).
Applying the patches didn't change a thing.
WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF THIS NOT-LOGGED-ON MESSAGE AND HOW TO FIX IT ?
PLEASE STATE THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROCESS.
IS IT RELATED TO DIFFERENCES BETWEEN REDHAT 6.0 AND 6.1 ?

I want to create a database called db1
I assume the global name will be db1.lnx, and the sid db1
I have tried with dbassist to select 'custom' and 'dedicated',
I have also checked that all mts_* entries were commented out # mts_*.
The $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/install/create directory contains a skeleton.
I have used this to try to create the db1 database,
and here is the information you requested.
I have put it in one big posting for everyone to see.
You get everything up to point 8 in the famous "3.7" paragraph.

Select query differences between oracle 9 and oracle 8.

Hi,
I have a problem using the select query between oracle 7 and oracle 9i I don't have the same result :
ex:
With oracle7
SQL> select 'champ1','champ2' from DUAL;
'CHAMP 'CHAMP
champ1 champ2
With Oracle 9
SQL> select 'champ1','champ2' from DUAL;
'CHAMP1' 'CHAMP2'
champ1 champ2
So Can someone tell me how to solve this problem ? Is there a parameter in oracle 9 to set?
Thanx.

Whenever you are posting anything over internet forums like this - you should be very careful about not just posting the details which requires to solve the problem - also should be sensible about your question.
This is not at all desired when you are posting such question. It may be because - you may not well aware of the fact.
My suggestion is -> First Go through the basics Of SQL in general.
Then go for any specific product like Oracle/ SQL Server/ Sybase etc.
And, finally learn the advanced commands of that DB.
You asked it - may be you thought the difference in output in terms of lines. But, that is not your actual output. That is the graphical display part only.
Anyway,
You can get the quite familier output by first type the following command ->
set lin 310Regards.

Oracle Single Sign on and Oracle Internet Directory

Hello Gurus,
What is the relationship between Oracle Single Sign on and Oracle Internet Directory.
To my understanding, OID is required to install SSO.
If OID already exist, can we just install SSO and go on integrating it to existing OID.
Great Thanks,
vimal jain.

Hi Tim,
I've been working on this and could reproduce the issue with anonymous binds. A fix will be ready in 4.2.1.
So what I really need is the password used for login to pass to the is_member call.The P101_PASSWORD item does not save state. However, you can access the value during submit processing of the login page, for example in the post authentication function of your authentication scheme. People sometimes put code in there to query the user's groups (e.g. with apex_ldap.member_of2) and save them in an application. This item value can then be used in the authorization schemes.
Regards,
Christian

Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms?
I have generated a form, which is based on a view. The view uses the mdsys.sdo_relate operator. Somehow I am unable to get the form to perform (to get one record it takes over 20 minutes). While useing sql-navigator to process the same statement it seems no problem. The query that also uses the view, is then processed in 10 seconds.
I also noticed that when text-functions like ' lower' of ' upper' are used to query the view, the query is processed within 15 seconds. If I don't use ' lower' or ' upper' it takes a long time (> 20 minutes) to process the query. Is it possible that this causes the bad performance of the form?
On metalink I have found that forms and spatial do not cooperate because of the pl/sql version that
forms6 uses. There is no solution presented, does anyone know of a work around?
My configuration is:
Oracle 8.1.7 on WIN2K @ PIII-800Mhz 256 Mb memory.
Formsbuilder 6
If requested I can post the queries that I have made.
With regards,

Hello Priya,
Look into the following.
1. Book - Pro Oracle Spatial for Oracle Database 11g by r. Kothuri, A. Godfrind, E. Beinat. This book provides a nice introduction on Oracle Spatial concepts and have examples.
2. Look at the Oracle Spatial & Graph User Guide
2. Book - Applying and Extending Oracle Spatial by S. Greener and S. Ravada. This book provides hands on information for advanced oracle spatial application developers. Practical guide on hands-on examples, Data models and develop cross-vendor database solutions.
3. This oracle spatial forum, once you understand these concepts.
In the future consider Certification on Oracle Spatial 11g Certified Implementation Specialist.

Limitation on SQL executing select statement from ADO and Oracle 8.1.7.1 OleDB Driver

Hi,
we are running a query with a big dunamic select statement from VB code using ADO command object. When Execute method is called system hangs and control won't return back to the application. it seems to be that there is some type limitation on Query string length. Please tell us if there is any?
we are running Oracle 8.1.7 Server on Windows 200 Server and connecting from a W2K professional, ADO 2.6 and Oracle OLEDB 8.1.7.1 OLEDB Driver.
Sample code:
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Set cmd = New Command
With cmd
.CommandText = ' some text with more than 2500 characters
.CommandType = adCmdText
Set rs = .Execute
End With
when i debug using VB6 and when .Execute line is called system hangs or return a message method <<somemethod> of <<some class name>> failed error.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Anil

A stored procedure would only slow you down here if it was poorly written. I suspect you want to use the translate function. I'm cutting & pasting examples from the documentation-- a search at tahiti.oracle.com will give you all the info you'll need.
Examples
The following statement translates a license number. All letters 'ABC...Z' are translated to 'X' and all digits '012 . . . 9' are translated to '9':
SELECT TRANSLATE('2KRW229',
'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
'9999999999XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX') "License"
FROM DUAL;
License
9XXX999
The following statement returns a license number with the characters removed and the digits remaining:
SELECT TRANSLATE('2KRW229',
'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', '0123456789')
"Translate example"
FROM DUAL;
Translate example
2229
Also, LIKE '%<string>%' is going to be rather expensive simply because it has to compare the entire string and because it forces full table scans, rather than using indexes. You could speed this sort of query up by using interMedia Text (Oracle Text now in 9i). If you can eliminate one of the '%' options, you could also improve things.
My guess is that your stored procedure is inefficient and that's causing the problem-- 5k rows per table should be pretty trivial.
If you post your query over on the PL/SQL forum, there are better performance tuners than I that might have more hints for you. To get really good advice, though, you'lllikely have to get at least the execution plan for this statement and may need to do some profiling to identify the problem areas.

New to XML and Oracle

Just trying to clarify some issues as I try and learn about XML, and specifically how it integrates into the DB.
1 - Is there a way with Oracle tools for me to get an XSD of an existing 9i relational schema? We are not currently using the XML DB, but our middleware developers would like to have an up to date XSD to use for their internal mapping.
2 - Is there any way that I can keep that XSD up-to-date automatically, so I get a new one whenever the schema gets updated?
3 - If I wanted to investigate storing XML docs within the DB in native XML format, I need to have an XML DB, correct? Is this DB construct maintained seperatelly from my "normal" relational schema? or are they kept in sync by Oracle?
I know these may all be real basic questions, but as I said, I'm new to XML and Oracle. I am reading as much as I can, but there are a lot of docs out there.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi
1. On my opinion such a tool doesn't exists. Some parts can be implemented elsewhere, but not as described by you... e.g. with XSU if you specify the parameter "withschema" the XSD of the executed statement is generated. Another example is to use DBMS_METADATA to dump the data dictionary in XML (but not XSD, of course you could write your own XSLT to do this transformation...).
2. -
3. If you use XSD-based tables the XSD and the relational model are stored separately in the data dictionary. Therefore if you change the XSD you have to drop/create the XSD-based table... no schema evolution yet.

SRM 4.0 Installation Master and Oracle Installation

Dear Members, I am trying to install SRM 4.0 in sandbox using the SRM 4.0 Installation Master DVD.

Problem with Java 5 and Oracle 10g JDBC driver

Hi All,
Currently we upgrade our web application to Java 5 and Oracle 10.2 JDBC driver. And we encountered a bug, when the user entered the information through UI and data didn't store into database (Oracle 9i). The problem is that this bug is not happend so often maybe once a day and this did not happen before we upgraded to Java 5 and Oracle 10.2 JDBC driver. Does anyone encounter the same problem ? Is this Java 5 problem or Oracle JDBC driver problem ?
Thanks,

sounds like a database problem...
Are you using a driver version that's supported for your database engine?
What else did you change? We once ran into a major bug in our application that had for 5 years been masked by performance problems in our hardware and infrastructure.
Once those were resolved the bug showed itself and caused tens of thousands of records to be erroneously inserted into our database every day.
It's certainly NOT a problem with your JVM (if it's a decent one, like the Sun implementation).
So it's either your database, your driver, your network (dropping packets???), or your application.
The upgrade may just have exposed something that was already there.

Problem with installing Oracle UI and Oracle SP (ouiosp220160.jar)

Hello,
I have downloaded the installation file for Oracle Universal Installer and Oracle Software Packager which is in the form of a jar file:
ouiosp220160.jar.
WhenI try to extract it, the JVM says that the jar file is a corrupt one.
So, I downloaded it again and still it is a corrupted one.
What to do now? Is it in the corrupt form on the site or I am missing something?
Any other mirror site?
Please help.
-Sameer

Yes use a different ORACLE_HOME's for the Database,
The Application Server (Needs 2 Oracle Homes if you are installing it on one server) and the developer suite - I would expect to see this more on a client PC than a server but if you are trying everything out on say a windows box then that also needs its own HOME.
Have fun.

Reports Requirements using R12 and Oracle 10g Reports

Hi All,
Looking forward to some valuable inputs to propose a technical solution in R12 using 10g Reports Developer.
Requirements are :
1. Report output should be in Excel Format. ( Is this possible without XML Publisher using 10g Reports only )
2. Report Parameters to have multi selection criteria. ( Is this possible in 10g Reports and Oracle Apps, Report Manager responsibility ?)
Regards,
Anand

>
1. Report output should be in Excel Format. ( Is this possible without XML Publisher using 10g Reports only )

Yes, Reports can create output in Excel - but XML Publisher offers better and easier options.

I tried the same with the Crystal Reports 2008 trial version and i'm having the same problem.
 
 
I don't wanna use the geometry column in my report but because of this error i can't use the whole table. Is there a way to avoid this error and still use the other columns of the table. Or maybe there is another way to connect to an Oracle database which can handle this special data type.
 
 
Thanks in advance,

Hi Jens,
Views would work also as you noted.
No, if DB manufacturers change/update their Servers/clients they need to follow ANSII 92 standards. If they don't return the correct data type then CR will not "hack" our drivers to fix their issues. We did that for years and was a code nightmare, when they got around to fixing the problem it broke CR again. We decided to follow the standards, it may be our issue sometimes but in this case unique data types typically are not supported by CR. If you want support and it's not a client issue then add your request to the Enhancement Request2 post.
So yes in your case it would make it easier but for others they'll be asking why CR doesn't show all fields. Same reason.... not a CR issue.
Thanks agian

HT202159 I downloaded Dragon Express and now it won't open. It says it is INSTALLED but it won't open when clicked. Tried to trash it and start over but won't let me trash because it says it is open. But it isn't! Called mac help and they can't help e

I downloaded Dragon Express and think that it did not completely complete the download. However, it says that it has been installed and my account has been charged 50.00. However, when I click on the icon, it will not open. I have tried everything from restarting, trashing the app, but it continues to tell me that I cna't trash the app because it is open. I called apple support and they worked with me for about 30 minutes until they finally told me that the call had to end regardless of the fact that after all of their efforts, the problem was not resolved. He gave me a link to get a refund and said it was easy to navigate however, it led me nowhere. So now I am stuck with a worthless app, that does not work and a 50.00 bill to pay because I can't get support or link support to get a refund and even if I could get a refund I still have the Dragon express on my computer that does not work!!! HELP! I don't know how the app can be open when even support could not figure it out! When I restart, the finder window opens where it never did before.

Well first of all this is a public forum, so keep that in mind. The users here generally can not look up your case numbers.
If AppleCare didn't work out for you, I believe your next step is
iTunes Store Support
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
Unfortunately, their case indexing is on a different database, and they will not be able to look up your case number either. However, their support is free, and despite it may take a few bounces of emails back and forth, there is a decent chance they may be able to get a solution.
Or... you can still try to shoot the **** with us here, which is Ok as well. But you'll have to keep in mind we can't look up your case numbers.
By the way, the link for a refund, I think is for the same link I just gave you, so on second though, mabye it's best to just go there.

BAM and Oracle application server 10.1.3???

Hi,
I would like to understand more about integration between BAM and OAS.
I remember I read a document that stated that BAM was included (or was integrated) as part of OAS 10.1.3, however I installed it and still don;t see how it is integrating with OAS.
Also, in one of the Tutorials it mentions this:
"Note –if you are using Oracle Application Server with opmn process, the following
additional files are required in the above path:
C:\OracleBAM\OC4J\opmn\lib\optic.jar
Copy the entire Application Server “opmn” directory to c:\oraclebam"
So... are there any additional steps for the OAS and BAM integration?
I am still learning BAM but mi goal is install it as part of EBS(order Manegemnet)-BPEL-OTM (oracle Transportation) integration installation I currently have.
If it can be integrated can it be done using iAS 10.1.2.0.2 instead?
Thanks

Its recommended that you should use same versions of OAS and Oracle BAM.
For integration between OAS components and BAM you can check BAM tech notes (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/bam/10.1.3/htdocs/1013_support.html#technotes)
Hoping it will help you.
