Getting Oracle RDB 7 database into 10g howto

Hello,
We have an old database in Oracle RDB 7 on an older OpenVMS system that we would like to somehow import into a new Oracle 10g database running under Unix. I'm familiar with OpenVMS and Unix, Oracle 8i and later, but don't have much of a clue about Oracle RDB, which seems a complete different product.
So far I found out that export and import in Oracle RDB are completely different from Oracle 10g in terms of compatibility and unction. Perhaps there is some way to use RMU/Extract under RDB? Can the complete database be saved in e.g. text delimited or other suitable formats? Whatever I do however must not change anything on the original RDB database.
Thanks in advance for any advice and help!
Best regards,
Markus Waldorf

(I have never worked on RDB but) I just carried out a brief search on internet regarding Oracle RDB 7 and it seems it can be exported using ODBC (however, the options are limited).
I would advise you to get in touch with Oracle support or Oracle RDB provider. May be they can help you out with this.

Converting an Oracle 8i database to 10g

I have several Oracle databases that need to be converted to 10g. The 8i databases reside on a Windows platform, and the 10g database is on an IBM p-Series server with AIX as the operating system. We are planning to export the 8i database, and then import it into 10g. My question is, will the import process bring the database in as an 8i database, or a 10g database? Do we need to run the conversion process after we import the database? Any advice from others that have done this would be appreciated. I have a copy of the 10g Upgrade Guide, which I will be reading tonight. Thank you!

Adding for previos replies..
Please make sure that you take the export from lower version export utility (8i) and perform the import using 10g import utility. Please read metalink Note:132904.1 for more information regarding this

Migration from Oracle 9i database to 10g in ECC5

Hi Experts,
We are planning to move our production system which is currently running ECC5 on AIX OS and Oracle 9i database to AIX OS and Oracle 10g database.
Some doubts regarding the above procedure:
1)Is there any possibility of SAP system migration from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g. If yes, do we need to perform any addinitional steps for that?
2)If the above condition is OK, then what type of system copy should we need to follow: Homogeneous or Heterogeneous? Heterogeneous system copy is ususally done incase of system copy involving different databases. Does that apply for differnt versions too like Oracle 9i and 10g?
Any response is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Sanjay

If i'm using the dbua then the above issue will be solved by dbua itself?Well, DBUA will only perform a sanity check on your current release and if it doesn't pass it will fail. In other words DBUA will not upgrade your 9i release to the proper compatible release that you have to do before upgrading to 10R2.
Personally I never used DBUA, I always prefer manual upgrades, DBUA is good for you bcz it will not allow you to miss any step while upgrading.
What is the size of the database which you are going to upgrade?

Accessing an Oracle RDB database thru OBIEE

We are trying to access our database warehouse located on a VMS Oracle RDB server to the physical layer in the OBIEE Administrator.
Doesn't seem like there are any native drivers
and when we set up the Oracle ODBC RDB driver 3.2
and use this ODBC connection in our connection pool and connect to the database
and import tables
We can view all tables in the warehouse but we can't see any columns in tables that have an underscore in their name. When we import these underscore tables, we still can't see the column metadata.
Is there any way around this? Thanks Cheryl

A BIG thank you to both of you, Managed to import succesfully. appreciate your help.
Just for others who would be using this forum.
Steps involved
1. connect with Oracle 10g Export utility to the source db.
2. export the db from source to target server
3. create DDL & schema of the source db.... ( i used toad dba )
4. run the DDL & schema of the target db (oracle 10g) .. ( i used toad dba )
5. import the dump to target server.

Creating an Oracle Spatial database in 10g and connecting ArcGIS

I have a set of shapefiles that I want to convert into Oracle Spatial 10g and then be able to view these with the capability of ArcGIS 9 (without using ArcSDE).
From what I've read, I think this could be done by using ODBC. Once that connection is made, will I then be able to use the full functionality of ArcGIS especially read/write functions to edit the information in Oracle Spatial?
What data formats does Oracle Spatial in 10g support. I am concerned about raster data, CAD data, Survey data etc

The shape files can be loaded into Oracle spatial using shp2sdo.exe available on web.To view the GIS data in ArcGIS ,ArcGIS needs the layers to be registered.Therefore you need Arcsde for registering the layers.But for viewing the data in Arcgis we do not need arcsde ,we can view the data using direct connect.For editing the data we can use ODBC connection.
About raster data,we can load tiff,jpeg,bmp,png,gif using georaster tools provided by oracle into georaster tables.
Thanks

Oracle 11g database & OBIEE 10g user id case sensitivity

Hi,
Previously we used to point OBIEE to 10g database and the following query used to return data. But now we have database upgraded to 11g R2. Is there a way to make the 11g R2 database case insensitive and make the following query return results? Here when EMP_LOGIN = upper(bmiller) query is working, but not when EMP_LOGIN = bmiller.
select T32660.X_DISTRICT as c1,
count(distinct case when T32385.OPTY_WID > 0 then T32385.OPTY_WID end ) as c2
from
W_POSITION_H T37785 /* Dim_W_POSITION_H */ ,
W_POSITION_D T36585 /* Dim_W_POSITION_D */ ,
W_EMPLOYEE_D T32660 /* Dim_W_EMPLOYEE_D */ ,
W_OPTY_D T31547 /* Dim_W_OPTY_D */ ,
W_ORG_D T31796,
W_REVN_F T32385 /* Fact_W_REVN_F */
where ( T32385.PR_TEAM_POS_WID = T36585.ROW_WID
and T31547.ROW_WID = T32385.OPTY_WID
and T31796.ROW_WID = T32385.PR_ACCNT_WID
and T32385.PR_TEAM_EMP_WID = T32660.ROW_WID
and T36585.ROW_WID = T37785.SUB_POSITION_WID
and T37785.EMP_LOGIN = upper('bmiller')
and T37785.EMP_LOGIN = 'bmiller' )
group by T32660.X_DISTRICT
order by c1
Thanks
MNRK

If this query was working in the old system, my assumption is that something was changing your session's NLS_COMP to Linguistic. If OBIEE isn't issuing that ALTER SESSION in a login script, the next most likely scenario would be a login trigger that was issuing the ALTER SESSION when the OBIEE user logged in. That trigger would have remained in place had you used the DBUA to upgrade. If you did an export and import, however, it's possible that you didn't export the login trigger.

Oracle 7 into 10g

I have a Quick question and want to be discuss in the meeting.
Do anyone have experience to import Oracle 7 DMP into 10g Directly ?
Or do we need to first Import into 8i and then 10g.

Without an Oracle 7 database to test this with, I can tell you that you [should] be able to export from the Oracle 7 database using the Oracle 7 software, and then import into the Oracle 10 database using Oracle 10 software.
The only problem you might have is with various packages and procedures that may not compile in the Oracle 10 environment. Those will have to be dealt with individually. But I believe everything else will import fine. I've recently exported from 7.3.4 into a 9.2.0.8 without any problems.
Hope this helps...

CAN I INSTALL BOTH (ORACLE 9IAS AND ORACLE DATABASE )INTO SAME MACHINE.

oracle 9ias and oracle 9i database in same machine Feb 25, 2003 11:22 PM
Reply
Dear Friends,
I installed oracle 9ias. and then i hosted my form,report into that server . All was working properly.
at this time my database was into another machine.
then i installed oracle 9i database into the same machine
(as the oracle 9ias was installed)
at the instalation of oracle 9i database one error comes
and shows that Agent configuration Assistant Installation
fail.
but After installation of database it work properly.
there is no problem.
but when I try to run from through web(by using oracle 9ias)
it gives Internal error(500).
i check and find that my appache server for 9ias is working properly and in services of windows 2000 no error comes.
HOW CAN I INSTALL BOTH (ORACLE 9IAS AND ORACLE DATABASE )INTO SAME MACHINE.
With regards

Want to upgrade 8.1.5 database into 10.2.0.2 and implement RAC.

Hi,
I have two different databases running on 8.1.5.0 and 8.1.7.4 and the size of databases are 110GB and 130GB.
Now we want to upgrade this database into 10.2.0.2 and implement RAC.
Could any one suggest the best way/document to upgrade database into 10g.
Existing Platform is Sun Solaris 5.8(32 bits)
New Platform is AIX 5.2(64 bits).
Thanks

Since the database is being migrated from Solaris to AIX, you cannot physically copy the database to the new server. You can choose to use Oracle's export and import utilities. This depends on much downtime you can afford. You can also create a new database on the AIX server and use CTAS (create table as select) to bring over your tables. This requires some additional post-migration work on your part to re-create the indexes, constraints, default values, etc. Export/import will do most of this for you.
If you have the option to upgrade to Oracle 10gR2, another possibility is to upgrade your database on the Solaris server and use transportable tablespaces to create a new 10g database on the AIX server. Transportable tablespaces in 10gR2 allow you to migrate across operating systems. Be sure to review Oracle's certification matrix to ensure that you are installing Oracle database software on a certified platform.

FWD: Re: Retrieving multiple rows from a database into morethan

There are two ways to do this that I cn think of right off the bat.
One is to create a class of objects that can receive the entire row, and
give it methods that will return each of the individual objects that you are
looking for when called. If you use INTO :ARRAY, you get the advantage of
being able to pass the array anywhere in your system for the 'split up'
processing.
Two is to do basically the same thing, but instead doing the 'split up'
during a for loop. This will appear to slow down your query, however, as
extra processing will be occuring in terms of memory allocation and copying.
I'm sure there other approaches. This was simply what came to mind at
midnight, after a long day :-).
At 01:33 AM 6/4/96 +0000, you wrote:
Does anyone know of a way to retrieve multiple rows from a single table in an
RDB database into more than 1 object, using a single SQL call?
I have a single table that I wish to use some fields to populate one object
and some others to populate another.
The FOR clause only allows one object to be specified.
The INTO :ARRAY clause also seems to only allow one object to be specified.
I would appreciate any help.

Jsp to rdb database

Hey!
Guys, I am new to this forum. It looked greatly helpful so I thought maybe any one of you might have some information on this.
I am developing an application to connect a jsp page to a RDB database which is running on OPENVMS VAX (not ALPHA) platform. It seems like there are JDBC drivers to connect to RDB for ALPHA platform.
I have been really unsuccessful to find a way to connect the jsp page to the oracle RDB database running on VAX.
Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated!!

Importing a few Oracle 10g schemas into oracle 11g database

Hi,
I have the task to import a few schemas that are on oracle 10g database (10.2.0.4) into oracle 11gR2 database (11.2.0.2). Now I have only oracle 10g export and import utility (the 11g server is in not where I am given the import rights).
Can I do the export of the 10g schemas using the 10g export utility and then import into 11g database using the 10g import utility? I ran a test to do that and found it works but would also like to have expert opinion on it.
Also another question is: if the source schema is 11g - suppose- in that case can the 10g export/import utility still work? I mean export the schema from say db1 (which is 11g) using 10g export utility and import them into 11g database db2 (which is again 11g) using 10g import? I am asking because I don't have access to 11g server and trying to find what I can do with the 10g utilities.
Thanks,

set up a database link to the 10gR2 version database in the 11gR2 database.
Now using the 11gR2 client impdp utility use
impdp network_link=<link to 10gR2 database>
Done.
Your 'objection' you don't have access to 11gR2 doesn't count as you can install a 11gR2 client.
Also generally speaking you should not use a lower version imp to imp to a higher version database
Also exp and imp are deprecated in 10g and higher.
