ER - Database related facilities in Database Diagrams (procedures/objects)?

I am having a look at JDeveloper 11g Preview (11.1.1.0.0).
Our environment is (still) very much a relational environment using Oracle Forms/Reports (and Designer for analysis/design, not generation).
I am pleased to note, that materialized views can be "copied online" from a database, which was not possible in JDeveloper 10. But materialized views cannot be represented on a database diagram.
The Database Diagram tool resembles the Server Model Diagram (SMD) tool in Designer, and it is fine when comparing the two tools. What I could have found useful in Designer, in the SMD tool or otherwise, is to be able to add database functions, procedures and packages to the database diagram.
Also, representation of database types on the database diagram would be useful. This sort of "dropped out" in Designer :-}
Taking this thought at step further, it would be useful to have a diagramming tool that could represent dependencies among database objects graphically.
So, on the whole, a strengthening of the database related diagramming facilities would be appreciated.
Regards
Thomas Kirchhoff.

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your feedback.
In the next technology preview of 11g (TP3) you will be able to represent materialized views on the diagram.
Unfortunately we cannot add functions, procedures and packages etc to the diagram.. But feedback from users like yourself is useful for future planning. When you talk of 'representation of database types' are you talking PL/SQL or the specific database (aag, XE...)
What kinds of dependencies would you like to see? We have things like view usages and we are conscious of making diagrams 'too busy'. However, we do provide the diagram annotations: attachment, dependency, link and note for you to annotate your diagrams.

How to design a listbox or tree control related to the database

Now i have a problem to design a listbox or tree control, it is designed to connect to the database, if the related element in database changed, the element in listbox or tree control should also change. i have managed to read the element in database, but i cannot input it to the listbox or tree control, since it has no input terminal that i can only use the Labeling tool and enter text into it.
is there any advise on it, maybe i can use another control rather than listbox or tree control. any suggestion would be appreciate.
Thank you
XuY

Hi Xuy,
On the front-panel, right-click on the text-ring control and select: Create\Property Node.
Then, on the diagram, right-click on the property-node and select "Strings[]".
The "strings[]" property is the array of strings available in the control - and you can change it.
Cheers!

Passing the database name as a PL/SQL procedure parameter

How do I pass the name of the database as a parameter to a procedure?
If dbs is the variable name to which I pass the database name as shown in the example,
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Extract_gl_acct_Tbl(dbs varchar2)
and I use dbs in the code as follows,
SELECT ACCOUNT,
SETID
FROM SYSADM.PS_GL_ACCOUNT_TBL@dbs
It gives me an error saying 'ORA-04054: database link DBS does not exist'.

You will need to use dynamic SQL to handle this:
create or replace ...
is
type rc is ref cursor;
v_rc rc;
begin
open v_rc for 'select ... from sysadm.ps_gl_account_tbl@' || dbs;
fetch v_rc into ... -- some variables
-- if multiple rows, you'll need to do the fetch in a loop and exit when v_rc%notfound.
close v_rc;
end;

How can I check a Remote Database is alive in a Stored Procedure

Hi
In a PL/SQL stored procedure, I do a select from a table on a remote database via the database link. There is a Loop around the select as it waits for a flag to be set on the remote table. However, on several occasions, while looping, the remote database has gone down and the procedure then fails with error:
'Details ORA-02068: following severe error from ORA-02068: following severe error from 'Remote Database ' ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress ORA-06512: at "Current Database.Stored Procedure", line'
Is it possible to trap this error and prevent the procedure from crashing?
My current code is like:-
LOOP
SELECT flag
INTO v_flag
FROM remote_table@remote_db;
 IF v_flag= 'OK'
 THEN
< Run Oracle Warehouse Builder Process Flow >
 EXIT;
 ELSE dbms_lock.sleep(600);
 END IF;
END LOOP;
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks
GB

Hi Bernd
Thanks for your help. If I do this, I think the procedure would continue onto the 'IF' statement. I am looking for a way of looping round and trying to run the select again before moving on.
If I did something like
LOOP --- Loop 1 ---
LOOP --- Loop 2---
BEGIN
SELECT flag
INTO v_flag
FROM remote_table@remote_db;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
END;
-- Need to exit if no exception ---
END LOOP;
IF v_flag= 'OK'
THEN
< Run Oracle Warehouse Builder Process Flow >
EXIT;
ELSE dbms_lock.sleep(600);
END IF;
END LOOP;
Is there a way of going back to the start of Loop 2 if there was an exception, otherwise EXIT and continue onto the 'IF' statement.

Collaboration Room iViews give error -- Database related errors -- Pls Help

Hello Everyone,
We are on EP 6.0 SP 17 (Netweaver 2004).
KMC component was installed separately (Deployed manually).
We are trying to create simple Collaboration Rooms and we are facing some issues with the same.
I am following the documentation on SAP Help for the Room Creation:
Help  SAP Netweaver 2004  People Integration  Collaboration  Administration Guide
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1d/3d59fdaa5ebb45967ea107d3fa117a/frameset.htm
We are able to create rooms based on pre-defined templates and we are also able to add members to rooms, send/receive the invitation emails. I am able to work with Instant Messaging also.
But the problem is that some of the iViews related to Collaboration Rooms are giving errors.
1. Discussion iView gives an error saying You do not have access permission (even the user has all the necessary roles assigned).
Log for this error is as follows:
Exception ID = 90c3315f-c29d-2910-87ac-806aa372da7f com.sapportals.wdf.WdfError at com.sapportals.wdf.WdfCompositeController.buildComposition(WdfCompositeController.java:678)at com.sapportals.htmlb.AbstractCompositeComponent.preRender(AbstractCompositeComponent.java:33)

I tried to change the permissions of the Discussion iView, but it did not work either.
2. Some iViews like Room Information throw a Runtime Error as follows:
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : pcd:portal_content/com.sap.ip.collaboration/RoomPartContent/Generic/Pages/com.sap.netweaver.coll.RoomDiscussionPage/com.sap.netweaver.coll.RoomInformationExtended

The exception was logged. Inform your system administrator..
Exception id: 02:17_02/02/07_0006_213711350
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
I have figured out that the following error message is common in most or the error messages:
The SQL statement "INSERT INTO "KMC_URIMAPPER" ("HASH_KEY","EXTERNAL_KEY","CONST_INTERNAL","VAR_INTERNAL","EK_PREFIX","EKHK00","EKHK01","EKHK02","EKHK03","EKHK04","EKHK05","EKHK06","EKHK07","EKHK08","EKHK09","EKHK10","EKHK11","EKHK12","EKHK13","EKHK14") VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)" contains the semantics error[s]: column "EK_PREFIX" not in any scope
Are there any database related configurations required for making the Collaboration Room Discussion functionality work properly?
Are there any KM related configurations necessary other than those mentioned in the document I am referring to?
Are there any database related configurations that are required?
I would really appreciate any help in this matter. Please advise me about any ideas you may have?
Thanks,
Raj Seelam

Hello Lars,
First of all thank you for your reply.
do u use Collaboration first time?
Yes, we just started using Collaboration and this is our first requirement.
Which roles do u have?
I have all the required roles (Super Admin, Content Management, Collaboration, Collaboration Room Creation).
I know that these features are available in NW04 SP 17 without any limitations. I have reviewed SAP Notes 707730, 711093, 709354 and 946470 also.
This problem is with only a few Collaboration iViews.
I am able to create Rooms, Enter Rooms, Receive Invitation e-mails without any problem.
Any suggestions about any possible missing configurations ?
Thanks Again,
Raj

Why database related code not wriiten in jsp's

hi all
what all resons are there for which database related code
is not written in jsp's
one thing that i know is
it's not a j2ee architecture to do so
so is it the thing that doing so hits the performance issue
thanx

Me, I'm still trying to get my head around Java 1.5, J2EE, Tomcat, JBoss, and Oracle RAC (both programming and DBAing)... My head hurts... Badly...
Back to the topic, though... I also agree with the previous posters...
I agree there are exceptions to the "no JDBC in JSP rule of thumb"- I have a JSP-based generic table browser as a tool for emergency maintenance from a (presumably) hostile network, it provides read-only access and automatic password rotation. The flexibility of having it in the JSP has saved my bacon in a crisis; when travelling, I had to talk a non-programmer through applying a code fix (damn developers, using reserved words as column name...)( I had the source on my laptop...). To get a class file fixed, I would have had to get a programmer on the phone, and get the server to reload the class which in our environment at the time required an application restart... The project I work on is about 70 man-years of work, mostly Java, and we have maybe 6 or 8 JSPs that access the DB directly...
Most of the time though, good design says that you access a particular "type" of data (table or group of tables) in the same "chunk" of code, jsp or class file. It's a lot harder to share a jsp among different invokers than it is a class file. It's also better to isolate presentation from data access.
Imagine that you have a "USER" table, with first name, last name, username, and password. You program a "login" jsp, a user "edit" jsp and an administrator "edit" jsp. Then a security audit declares that saving an unexcrypted password in the database is insecure; you now have to change evey place that can access the password. If the user object was accessed through a single Java class file, then there would be only one place to fix. Of course, it's possible to use jsp includes to simulate class files, but that's just about as much work as creating the class file to begin with, with more problems.
Another big advantage of keeping your data access out of JSPs is that you can write unit tests much more easily for the Java classes, using something like JUnit. You can have a set of tests for all your persisted data, which can be run anytime your data model changes. This makes it a lot harder for "side effect" bugs to creep into your code.

Database Relation issue

Guys,
I have got one more problem.
My database relation detail
Table.field   Link Table.field
Project.JobID ==> Project_cost.JobID
Project.JobID ==> ItempurchasesLines.JobID
Project_cost.AccountNumber ==> Accounts.AccountNumber
Project_cost.AccountID ==> Item.ExpensesAccountID
Item.ItemID ==> ItempurchasesLines.ItemID
What I want now is, I want a full list of accountID in my report from Project_cost table regardless of any record available in ItempurchaseLines. ItempurchaseLines table is linked through itemID field with Item table and Item table is linked with project_cost through field Project_cost.AccountID ==> Item.ExpensesAccountID.
Thanks
mithani

now no error but still not retrieving data from tabel ItemPurchaseLines.
below is an updated sql query
MS Access DB
SELECT `PROJECT`.`JobID`, `PROJECT`.`PROJECT_NAME`
FROM   `PROJECT` `PROJECT`
ORDER BY `PROJECT`.`JobID`
EXTERNAL JOIN PROJECT.JobID={?FACADE: ItemPurchaseLines.JobID} AND PROJECT.JobID={?MS Access DB: Project_cost.JobID}
FACADE
SELECT "ItemPurchaseLines"."TaxExclusiveTotal", "ItemPurchaseLines"."JobID"
FROM   "SCHEMA"."MYOB"."ItemPurchaseLines" "ItemPurchaseLines"
WHERE "ItemPurchaseLines"."JobID"={?MS Access DB: PROJECT.JobID}
MS Access DB
SELECT `Project_cost`.`Type`, `Project_cost`.`EXPENSES_CODE_NUM`, `Project_cost`.`EXPENSES_Code`, `Project_cost`.`Description`, `Project_cost`.`Rate`, `Project_cost`.`AccountNumber`, `Project_cost`.`JobID`
FROM   `Project_cost` `Project_cost`
WHERE `Project_cost`.`JobID`={?MS Access DB: PROJECT.JobID}
ORDER BY `Project_cost`.`Type`, `Project_cost`.`EXPENSES_CODE_NUM`
EXTERNAL JOIN Project_cost.AccountNumber={?FACADE: Accounts.AccountNumber}
FACADE
SELECT "Accounts"."AccountNumber"
FROM   "SCHEMA"."MYOB"."Accounts" "Accounts"
WHERE "Accounts"."AccountNumber"={?MS Access DB: Project_cost.AccountNumber}
ItempurchaseLines table contains all purchase transaction.
My report would look something like that:
Group header 1 "JobID" from Project table
Group header 2 "Type" from Project_cost table
Group header 3 "Project_cost.Expenses_code--Project_cost.description--
ItemPurchaseLines.TaxExclusiveTotal etc"
now I can see all expenses code, description but still not getting any purchases from ItemPurchaseLines.

DataBase relation tables loses in suscribers in Merge Replication

Hi all
I noticed that after cheking the database relation in the suscribers after installing the merge replication.
the relations in tables that I have in my Publisher database do not appear in the suscribers database.
Is this normal ? Do I have to define again the tables relations in the suscribers ?
Thanks in advance

Hi James,
Please check your article properties and verify you have Copy foreign key constraints set to

EM 12C: Fails to detect database related targets

Hi
I have been trying to add database target on a remote host but fails to detect it as its looking into a wrong ORACLE_HOME directory how can I make it to look into the right ORACLE_HOME,
the ORACLE_HOME is already defined in .bash_profile however its reading GRID_HOME as ORACLE_HOME and fails to detect database and related targets, I have already added the cluster target and want to add database related targets for the RAC.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Terry

Terry,
Have a look at support bulletin "Understanding Database Discovery in Enterprise Manager 12cCloud Control [ID 1400463.1]". The oracle home location is pulled from oratab which the agent needs access to ( see section "Has the database been discovered" ) for details.
Let us know if the resolves your issue.

Connecting to a non-oracle database (jdbc) from a java stored procedure

Does anyone know to configure the database to allow a connection to a non-oracle database from a Java Stored procedured, using JDBC?
Thank you in advance,
Chris

Hi Chris,
I haven't tried it, and these are just some of my thoughts, but I
think you would need to load the JDBC driver for the other database
into the Oracle database (using the "loadjava" tool, of-course).
Then your java stored procedure should be able to instantiate the
third party JDBC driver and obtain a connection to the other database.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck,
Avi.

Logical Database design and physical database implementation

Hi
I am an ORACLE DBA basically and we started a proactive server dashboard portal ,which basically reports all aspects of our infrastructure (Dev,QA and Prod,performance,capacity,number of servers,No of CPU,decomissioned date,OS level,Database patch level) etc..
This has to be done entirely by our DBA team as this is not externally funded project.Now i was asked to do " Logical Database design and physical Database
implementation"
Even though i know roughly what's that mean(like designing whole set of tables in star schema format) ,i have never done this before.
In my mind i have a rough set of tables that can be used but again i think there is lot of engineering involved in this area to make sure that we do it properly.
I am wondering you guys might be having some recommendations for me in the sense where to start?are there any documents online , are there any book on this topic?Are there any documents which explain this phenomena with examples ?
Also exactly what is the difference between logical database design vs physical database implementation
Thanks and Regards

Logical database design is the process of taking a business or conceptual data model (often described in the form of an Entity-Relationship Diagram) and transforming that into a logical representation of that model using the specific semantics of the database management system. In the case of an RDBMS such as Oracle, this representation would be in the form of definitions of relational tables, primary, unique and foreign key constraints and the appropriate column data types supported by the RDBMS.
Physical database implementation is the process of taking the logical database design and translating that into the actual DDL statements supported by the target RDBMS that will create the database objects in a target RDBMS database. This will generally include specific physical implementation details such as the specification of tablespaces, use of specialised indexing (bitmap, clustered etc), partitioning, compression and anything else that relates to how data will actually be physically stored inside the database.
It sounds like you already have a physical implementation? If so, you can reverse engineer this implementation into a design tool such as SQL Developer Data Modeller. This will create a logical design by examining the contents of the Oracle data dictionary. Even if you don't have an existing database, Data Modeller is a good tool to use as a starting point for logical and even conceptual/business models.
If you want to read anything about logical design, "An Introduction to Database Systems" by Date is always a good starting point. "Database Systems - A Practical Approach to Design, Implementation and Management" by Connolly & Begg is also an excellent reference.

How to convert Oracle database to Sql server Database

Hi All,
I have one database made in the Oracle 8i, i want to convert that database to Sql Server Database,
Can anyone please give me the step by step process to do this conversion.
Regards
Ramesh Jha

Try using the DTS (data transformation services) services of SQL Server 2000
DTS is based on an OLE DB architecture that allows you to copy and transform data from a variety of data sources. For example: Oracle directly, using native OLE DB providers.
Alternatively, you could follow the following broad steps for data migration (assuming you are retaining the same table structures in SQL Server, and that you are talking about SQL Server 2000).
1. Get the CREATE scripts corresponding to each Oracle table / view / index. These can be reverse engineered from the database using a tool.
2. Map Oracle datatypes to SQL server datatypes e.g: date maps to datetime/smalldatetime, numeric maps to one of int, bigint, smallint, etc depending on the range of values in the CREATE scripts.
3. Indexes in SQL Server are of two types: Clustered / non-clustered. There can only be one clustered index on each table.
4. Converting procedures and triggers will have to be line by line, since SQL Server uses a proprietary T-SQL instead of ORacle's PL/SQL
I have yet to see a really good tool to do this migration, but it is possible to write a PL/SQL procedure / Pro*C program to automate the script creation for creating tables in the SQL Server database.
For the actual data import into SQL Server, export the Oracle data table by table into flat files, and then use the import wizard of SQL Server enterprise manager

RAW primary database and ASM standby database

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to have a ASM standby database for a primary database which is on RAW files.Is there any changes in procedure for a switchover to DR site.

for creation of standby DB, consider these parameters: db_create_file_dest,db_recovery_file_dest,control_files
