Help! How To Use Oracle as SQL for a Forum with Related Post

Hi All,
I added an SMF forum on my [Tech Blog|http://oscarmini.com] using the sub directory forum. Now I want to encode a fresh forum using Oracle for the database instead of the usual MySQL. I don't really know if this is possible. If it is, then let me know if their is a script for this, and so I can ask other related questions too.
But firstly, is it possible?

I think Oracle have taken down all the sample applications.
As I recall it was quite controversial at the time. Supposedly they're upgrading them to the latest version of Apex - some of them were quite old - but obviously there's a gaping void in the meantime.
The official Oracle statement is [url http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/packaged-apps-090453.html]here. It turns out they're not going to upgrade the apps but rewrite them entirely. So I predict the gaping void will last for some time yet :(
There's [url https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2253686&start=0&tstart=0]a thread on the Apex forum which has a link to the Oracle Chinese website, which still has the samople apps, including the Discussion Forum. Download it (if you dare) from [url http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2Ftechnetwork%2Fcn%2Fdeveloper-tools%2Fapex%2Fpackaged-apps-087541-zhs.html]here.
Cheers, APC

  • [Solved] How to use Oracle Java 6 for specific applications

    I use an IDE called PyCharm. On its download page, it recommends using Java 6 instead of OpenJDK. I currently have jdk7-openjdk installed, and from what I had read in the Arch Wiki on Java, it should be possible to install Oracle Java 6 along side OpenJDK 7.
    However, after installing jdk6-compat and jre6-compat, I still see that I am running OpenJDK 7 when I run the following:
    % java -version
    java version "1.7.0_09"
    OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.3.3) (ArchLinux build 7.u9_2.3.3-1-x86_64)
    OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.2-b09, mixed mode)
    ...even after I have set JAVA_HOME and added /opt/java6/bin to my path.
    How can I get PyCharm (or other applications) to use Oracle Java 6 instead of OpenJDK?
    Thanks, and apologies if I've posted in the wrong place.
    Other information that might be helpful:

    Using Gnome 3 as DE

    I found the solution.
    For Pycharm, I just needed to add an environment variable PYCHARM_JDK. For running specific applications, I asked this question on the Unix / Linux StackExchange and got an answer there.
    Also, after running PyCharm in Java 6... I would not recommend it. OpenJDK works fine

  • How to use Oracle Direct Connector for HDFS(DCH)?

    hi all,
    I am trying to use Oracle database to access HDFS through DCH. Now I installed Oracle database 11.2, hadoop-0.20.2 and DCH on the same linux machine.
    I also configured hdfs_stream properly and created Oracle directory HDFS_BIN_PATH according to README.txt file within DCH.
    Now I encountered a problem, how I create a external table which access data residing on HDFS?
    Can anyone help me ?
    Thanks in advance.

    I figure out the way which access HDFS data from Oracle External Table through DCH as below, but still face some problems
    Step 1
    Created Oracle directories as following:
    CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY hdfs_bin_path AS '/home/oracle/orahdfs/bin';
    CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY data_dir AS '/user/hadoop';
    where /user/hadoop is HDFS directory in which data file test.txt located.
    Step 2
    Created Oracle external table as following:
    create table xqs_ext_test(col1 varchar2(100))
    organization external (
    TYPE oracle_loader
    DEFAULT DIRECTORY data_dir
    ACCESS PARAMETERS (
    records delimited by newline
    preprocessor hdfs_bin_path:'hdfs_stream'
    badfile hdfs_bin_path:'empxt%a_%p.bad'
    logfile hdfs_bin_path:'empxt%a_%p.log'
    fields terminated by ','
    LOCATION ('test.txt'))
    reject limit unlimited
    parallel 2;
    when run SQL statement : select * from xqs_ext_test; the following error was prompted:
    SELECT * FROM xqs_ext_test
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
    ORA-29400: data cartridge error
    KUP-04040: file test.txt in DATA_DIR not found
    who can help me out with this problem?

  • How to use Oracle 10G SQL features in OWB?

    We are using OWB repository 10.2.0.1.0 and OWB client 10.2.0.1.31. The Oracle version is 10 G (10.2.0.3.0). OWB is installed on Linux.
    Oracle 10G SQL offers
    1) Inserting Into a Table with Error Logging
    2) conditional_insert_clause, Specify the conditional_insert_clause to perform a conditional multitable insert.
    Did anyone use above features in OWB10G mapping?
    How do we use them?
    Thanks in advance.
    RI

    Hi,
    Just a thought on the multi-table insert. OWB generates multitable insert when one source is mapped to multiple targets only on the condition that after the splitter there should not be any OWB operator that can change the cardinality of the row-set coming out of the splitter (like joiners, filters, aggregators etc.)..
    Regarding the link, I was wondering where I could find a decent documentation of the shadow table and the DML Error Logging through OWB .. Thanks for the link.
    OWB error messages are basically Oracle Error Messages when you consider the code that gets deployed. Other than that VLD errors are sometimes mysterious and hard to debug.. Hope someone can give us more details on how to handle such VLD errors :)

  • How to use views in sql script report?

    All all
    Can any one tell how to use views in sql script report?

    Most of the views are based on tables (or other views which are based on tables).
    The view typically shows one org at a time based on the context that is set.
    If you need records for all orgs, you need to use the underlying tables. Oracle typically names the tables with a _all suffix.
    e.g. PO_HEADERS will show records for one org at a time. PO_HEADERS_ALL will show records for all orgs.
    Hope this answers your question,

  • How to set oracle thin driver for jdbc2.0 in WLS6.1?

    I want to use oracle thin driver for jdbc2.0 in WLS6.1.
    I just set it like what it look in jdbc1.2.
    In my code, I import the classes under package oracle.sql.* and oracle.jdbc.*.
    When I cast the connection from (DataSource)ctx.lookup("myPool").getConnection();
    to oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection,
    it raise the exception java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.jdbc.rmi.SerialConnection.
    Can any one tell me how to solve it? Thanks

    Hi Andy,
    You can not cast a connection returned from datasource
    to oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection as it's a kind of an RMI
    stub thus has nothing to do with oracle. Could you tell us
    what you're going to acomplish? We'll try to offer a solution.
