How do you extract SQL from Oracle Forms and Reports files?

I am developing an "as is" data model for a government client for a 14 year old system that has three databases, 20 schemas, over 1500 tables, and over 23,000 columns. Needless to say, I do not plan to perform a manual mapping of data to screens and reports.
Most of the system has been developed in Oracle Forms and Reports. I am trying to map the live tables and columns to forms and reports.
The process here has been to save the forms and reports files as .fmb and .rdf files. The client does not have an available copy of Oracle Designer, which I understand could be used to extract the SQL.
Is there a utility somewhere that can parse the .fmb and .rdf files to extract the SQL?
Thanks,
Jim Gearing

Jim,
I don't know of any utility that will do this. You can convert and save each fmb as a fmt so you can view/search the contents , but I don't recommend that approach.
On the other hand, you download a copy of Oracle Designer:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html
It usually is included with Oracle Forms and Reports.

Oracle Forms 9i 1Z0-141 Exam Preparation

Hi,
I've cleared OCA developer 3 months back.
I m currently working on PL/SQL and Oracle Forms. Now i want to go for Forms Developer 1Z0-141 Certification Exam.
I m new to Oracle forms.Can any one suggest me up to what level i need to prepare for the exam.
I m very confused about the preparation for Oracle Forms .
Because for sql and pl/sql i was working on that technology so preparation was not a big issue
But i m new to forms so i need help.
Thanks in Advance

The following book is for 1z0-131/1z0-132 but is still probablly useful. However it is difficult and expensive to get hold of and any second hand editions may be without the cdrom:
Oracle Certified Professional: Building Internet Applications I & II Exam Guide: ISBN: 9780072193336
I believe the current oracle recommended training course is :
Oracle Forms Developer 10g: Build Internet Applications
I had a quick glance and could not seem to see a self study kit for this course.
Checking out the examination objectives is of course useful, and the contents of the recommended training course is also worth a look.
Hope this helps.

Can we use Dynamic SQL in Oracle Reports ?

Hi ,
Can we use Dynamic SQL in Oracle Reports ?
If yes please give some examples .
Thanx
srini

I believe the built-in package SRW.Do_Sql is what you are looking for
Example from the document:
/* Suppose you want to create a "table of contents" by getting the
** first character of a columns value, and page number on which its
** field fires to print. Assume that you want to put the "table of
contents"
** into a table named SHIP. You could write the following construct:
DECLARE
PAGE_NO NUMBER;
PAGE_FOR INDEX NUMBER;
SORT_CHAR CHAR(1);
CMD_LINE CHAR(200);
BEGIN
SORT_CHAR := :SORT_NAME ;
IF :CALLED = Y THEN
     SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(PAGE_FOR_INDEX);
     SRW.USER_EXIT(RWECOP PAGE_FOR_INDEX
     P_START_PAGENO);
     SRW.MESSAGE(2,TO_CHAR(:P_START_PAGENO));
END IF;
SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(PAGE_NO);
CMD_LINE := INSERT INTO SHIP VALUES
                      (||SORT_CHAR||,||TO_CHAR(PAGE_NO)||);
SRW.MESSAGE(2,CMD_LINE);
SRW.DO_SQL(CMD_LINE);
COMMIT;
EXCEPTION
WHEN DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX THEN
        NULL;
WHEN SRW.DO_SQL_FAILURE THEN
        SRW.MESSAGE(1,FAILED TO INSERT ROW INTO SHIP TABLE);
WHEN OTHERS THEN
       COMMIT;
END;

SQL Server Oracle If else differences

I have a query in SQL Server 2008 that uses an if statement to determine how the SQL is returned. It is fairly complex but here it is in its basic form.
declare @granularity varchar(20);
begin
set @granularity = 'Month';
if (@granularity = 'Month')
begin
select count(*) as DisplayCount, yearstep, monthstep
from MyTable
group by yearstep, monthstep
order by yearstep, monthstep
end
else
if (@granularity = 'Year')
begin
select count(*) as DisplayCount, yearstep
from MyTable
group by yearstep
order by yearstep
end
end
Originally I thought the conversion would be as easy as changing the @ to :, adding a then and an end if. Not so....
Can anyone show what the Oracle equivalent would be?
Edited by: user497094 on Aug 20, 2010 12:51 PM

If you use SQL Developer tool, you have a translator to translate T-SQL to Oracle PL/SQL language.
For your example, you should get:
BEGIN
v_granularity := 'Month' ;
IF ( v_granularity = 'Month' ) THEN
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*) DisplayCount,
yearstep,
monthstep
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY yearstep,monthstep
ORDER BY yearstep,
monthstep;
END;
ELSE
IF ( v_granularity = 'Year' ) THEN
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*) DisplayCount,
yearstep
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY yearstep
ORDER BY yearstep;
END;
END IF;
END IF;
END;
I hope it helps youi

Using a SQL for Oracle in Microsoft Excel Query

       )Can someone help me...maybe point out what I'm doing wrong.
Note: I also tried creating this query in Microsoft Query (the simple way) and when I first create it...it works...But then if I go back in to edit the query, and refresh the query or try to Return data to Excel, it gives me a ORA-00936 error message.
Why it works when I first create the query in Excel, I don't know. But I have to validate the queries I'm creating (SQL or not) and I can't validate it if every time I go into edit the query (which may have to happen; that's why I have to fix this before I can submit my validation).
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, I know I'm replying to my own threads here...but I want to add a little bit more information again.
I was successful in figuring out that changing the :criteria to a ? worked.
I tested this on 1 criteria at a time. Adding one more scenario ? at at time.
It only worked up until about 3 scenarios of each criteria.
Then when I refreshed the query in Microsoft Excel Query, I got an "out of memory" error, and then it ended up just erasing the SQL I had been using.
Here's the SQL I had where it gave me this error. Am I possibly just making Excel work too hard? It just doesn't make sense because Toad for Oracle handled it in like 4 seconds. Which brings me back to an intial question I had. Can Excel use Toad for Oracle somehow?
Here's the code:
SELECT a_compl_summary.incident_number, a_compl_summary.case_number,
       a_compl_summary.part_sequence, a_compl_summary.part_number,

SQL to Oracle Migraton - Unable to create source model in Migration Workben

We are trying to use Oracle Migration Workbench utility to transfer data from SQL to Oracle. when we start creating the source model we get the following error :-
failed to load source model ora-01401 inserted value too large for column.. this is the error at the ss2k_syslogins table. this is a logical model creation from sql server db.
In case if this is a data issue with the syslogins table/view, is there any way to overcome this or whether we can do any settings at Workbench Level to overcome this..
Thanks in advance,
John.

I think I figured it out.
1 - I used the Migration Work Bench that came with the 9.2.0.1 client - BAD IDEA.
2 - I down loaded the OMWB (10.x) - GOOD IDEA. I also downloaded the plugins so that the versions would match each other. Get rid of any existance of the 'old' OMWB directory under the OracleHome, so as not to get confused.
3 - I realized that you just extract the OMWB.zip file to the C: drive like some third world DOS application, so it won't show up in under your start menu.**
**I find this kinda cheesy that the Oracle installer is not involved here to add it to the Oracle Configuration and Migration menu in start up. I suppose you can copy the unzipped struture over top of the existing clint directory structure, but still dumb.
3 - The other odd piece, you down load the plugin as a zip (and not a jar), BUT DON'T UNZIP IT!! Rather place it in the ..\plugins directory, underneath wherever you unzipped the OMWB, and RENAME IT with a .JAR extension (again don't unzip).
4 - Make a shortcut on your desktop to the omwb.bat file (from where ever you unzipped the OMWB product)
5 - Fire up that icon and the product will look at the new .JAR in the plugin folder and 'tada', you have OMWB with your specific database plugin available.
The new product didn't hang for me. Now I just need to figure out how port this into a shema name OF MY CHOSING, and not the generic OMWB_Login1 that it created.
I f anyone has info on that, let me know.... I think its in the destination creation (step two of the whole process).

thanks for your answer, but I asked to use sql loader instead of the external table, which so my question is why can not the epochtime converted to datetime, if there is no way to convert a datetime epochtime using sql loader, so I'm required to use the external table. thank you.
This is my error log:

Is Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.

All I want to know is if Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.
I have been planning and deploying my companies first Windows Server 2012/SQL Server 2012 Always On cluster and Always On Availability Groups Multi-Subnet cluster and instances for SharePoint 2013, and I will be brutally honest, the documentation on either
the MSDN and TechNet leave alot to be desired. Continually finding links in the documentation will take me from a Windows 2012 reference to a page talking about Windows Server 2008 or R2, The differences of which there are so many when it comes to configurations,
settings, roles, services when working with SQL Server 2012. I have been confused, frustrated, screaming mad, with all the misdirection in this documentation. The documentation takes me windows 2008 R2 which is different than 2012!
Tired and trying to pick myself up off the floor!
Greg
Gman

In general, DTC is not required for SQL 2012. But, since you are asking specifically about SharePoint, it would be better to ask in a SharePoint forum. They would be more likely to know those situations where FTC might be needed by SharePoint.

Using Oracle Forms Importing Data From SQL Server into Oracle Tables.

Dear All,
We are using Oracle Forms 10g in windows XP and having OAS 10g and Oracle database 9i.
How can we import data from SQL Server 2005 into Oracle tables using Oracle Forms?
Thanks & Regards
Eidy

I have no idea what "Oracle Hetrogenius Services" is, so I can't help you with that, sorry.
SQL Developer might also assist you. SQL Developer can connect to SQL Server as well as Oracle and has some tools for migration. See the documentation for details:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12151_01/doc.150/e12156/toc.htm
For additional help on using SQL Developer for this task, please consult Support or the SQL Developer forum: SQL Developer

Search option using a new small window in oracle forms using pl/sql

Hai Friend,
Iam Navya Jeevan,regarding Oracle Forms and Reports Doubts.
Our project is developed using Forms and Reports
In Forms for triggers we are using Pl/SQl language.
DOUBT
IN a form we require an option like search button when we press the search button a small window must be opened.This window should contain details from database(ie an entire column of database,must be displayed in the window ) and the user selects the value from the window.
If u got any sample code related to this subject please mail to me.
....................................VERY URGENT............................................................................
thankyou,

Hello,

How to access MS SQL in Oracle BI Administration?

Hi All,
I'm a new in Oracle BI, I've just created an business application using Oracle BI Administration Tool of Oracle BI Server version 10.1.3.4.1:
Steps:
1. building repository (through Physical, Business model and Mapping, Presentation),
2. making Answers from Presentation Services.
=> It ran well and beautiful reports, charts. But now, my DB is stored in Microsoft SQL Server, help me how to access MS SQL in Oracle BI, more details steps, are there any useful links?
Appreciate All.

Hi
Do the following
Control panel> Administration tool> ODBC>SystemDSN > ADD > select the driver>Your SQL SERVER credentials
Then test the connection
Go to the BI tool
IMPORT from Database>Select the SQL server connection you have just created>Locate your desired schema> configure the connection pool> import
