How to backup an oracle database?

I am running a oracle server on a windows box.
using the oracle 92 management console and developer tools.
Can someone instruct me on how to create a "job" that will backup my oracle databases on a daily basis?
I am more used to MS-SQL and have no clue how to do it in Oracle.
Thanks

Hi,
this is my weekly script to backup oracle database.
i run it from cron so you can schedule it in win but you must do same change there
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh
TMPDIR=/opt/app/oracle/tmp
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log=$TMPDIR/backup_full_`date +'%Y%m%d_%H%M'`.log >/dev/null 2>&1 <<EOF
set echo on;
show all;
crosscheck archivelog all;
crosscheck backup ;
delete noprompt expired backup device type disk;
backup device type disk database tag='FULL_BACKUP';
backup device type disk archivelog all not backed up;
delete noprompt obsolete device type disk;
exit;
EOF

How to connect to Oracle database from webdynprojava application

Hi
How to connect to Oracle database from webdynprojava application. where can we provide the code to connect to database.?
Thank You.

Hi,
You need to create Java Bean model. The bean is a typical java bean with default constructor, getter and setter. You can have additional methods for query etc. The attributes in the class will be your model node and attributes.
However you need to configure the connection and create JNDI using visual administrator before writing the code.
You can also consider writing Session EJB with oracle and using them in WD.

How to create a oracle database by java code?

how to create a oracle database by java code?
please give some ways then that way's code

I'm not sure what you mean with "database". Do you mean an Oracle instance or an Oracle user/schema (probably the latter, because that's the equivalent to a MS SQL Database).
Creating an instance is definitely not possible from within Java. To create a new user this should be possible, as this can be done with SQL:
GRANT connect,resource TO <newuser> IDENTIFIED BY <password>;
I'm always cautious with questions like this. In 90% of the cases there is something wrong with the initial design. Creating a database shouldn't be something the application is doing.

How to create an Oracle DATABASE through Java Programming Language.. ?

How to create an Oracle DATABASE through Java Programming Language.. ?

Oracle database administrators tend to be control freaks, especially in financial institutions where security is paramount.
In general, they will supply you with a database, but require you to supply all the DDL scripts to create tables, indexes, views etc.
So a certain amount of manual installation will always be required.
Typically you would supply the SQL scripts, and a detailled installation document too.

What commands used for taking backup of oracle database using BR*Tools

Can somebody please help me urgently to know what are the commands used for taking backup of oracle database using BR TOOLS.Also specifythe commands in detail which can be used for taking backups of oracle database ,Online Redo log files in databse using BRBACK tool,Archiving of offline, redo log files using BRARCHIVE, and Restoring a Database using BRRESTORE tool Commands(Plese specify the commands with their Syntax used).Also specify the commands with their Syntax which are used for taking backup of oracle database(online,Offline redo log files) into Tapedrives using BRTOOLS commands.
Thanking You for helping (in advance).

Dear Ashish,
BRBACKUP / BRARCHIVE calls the operating system command to copy the files.
Simple approach to get the commands is as follows.
1. Set the BR_TRACE (as given in the SAP note 29321) and run the command for which you need to know the OS / SQL commands.
2. This will generate the log file with the trace information. This trace has the information of the commands used by the job you have run.
Hope this helps.

How can i migrate oracle database data to DB2 database

Hi
how can i migrate oracle database data to db2 database.
can anyone provide me solution.

BTW why do you want to migrate oracle database data to db2 database? Any specific project requirement like Parallel run with Oracle database (e.g data replication)? Or any other issues - Cost? Manageability? Availability? Business requirements?
Do you need to do a day-to-day data transfer or it is for permanent migration?

How to config the oracle database connection pool in IAS

Hi,
Does anyone who hows to config the oracle database connection pool in IAS?
Thanks so much!!!

Jacky,
You need do the following for oracle type4 driver:
1) register the driver:
$IAS_HOME/bin/jdbcsetup
Driver Identifier: Oracle_Type4_816 (whatever name you like)
Driver Classname: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Driver Classpath: .../classes12.zip (install this this zip file somewhere
and add this zip into the Classpath later).
2) DataSource Setup:
start iAS Administration Tool (iASAT)
Choose Database, unfold iAS1 (your app server instance),
choose External JDBC Datasource -> add: DataSource Registration
JNDI Name: yourPoolName
Driver Type: Oracle_Type4_816 (select what you just register)
DataSource Url: jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostName:portName:dbName
Username: your_user_name
Password: your_passwd
(Datasource Pool: using defaults for now): you can also customrize the
parameters for the pool.
3. Add classes12.zip into CLASSPATH.
In your application, you can use JNDI lookup to get the DataSource from
which you get the connection from the pool.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.

How to take a Hot backup of Oracle database

1: put the db in archive log mode
2: set the db_sid to correct one
3: login to sqlplus
4: verify the name of the db that you are connected to
select name from v$database;
5: check if the db is in archive log made
select log_mode from v$database;
if not in archive log mode
another command to check
archive log list;
6: find where on disk oracle writes archive log when it is in archive log mode
sql> show parameter log_archive_dest_1;
if the value is found to be 0, that means no values will be recorded, so we need to change it
sql> alter system set log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=c:\database\oradata\finance\archived_logs\'
scope=spfile;
7: shutdown immediate; < this is done just to prepare the db for hot backups >
8: startup the db in mount mode
startup mount;
( 3 startup types : nomount - just starts the instance, mount - locates the control files and open up according to the values, open - finds the datafiles from the control files and opens up the db )
9: put the db in archive log mode
alter database archivelog;
10: open the database
alter database open;
11: check the status of the db
select log_mode from v$database;
SQL> archive log list;
12: create a directory for archived log
check if its empty, if empty we need to switch
sql> alter system archive log current;
run it 5 times < need to put / and enter > , then check the archive log dir , we will find files
13: make a table in the database and insert data in it
create table employees (fname varchar(2));
check the table
desc employees;
insert values
insert into employees values ('Mica');
14: tablespace must be in hot backup mode
check the status
select * from v$backup;
if found not active, then we need to change
we cannot put the db in hot backup mode, unless it is archive log mode
change to hot backup mode
alter database begin backup;
check the status
select * from v$backup;
15: now we can only COPY DBF FILES
copy *dbf <distination location>
16: need to take the db out to hot backup mode
alter database end backup;
17: need to make another archive log switch
alter system archive log current;
18: need to copy control files now, need to do a binary bckup
alter database backup controlfile to '<location>\controlbackup';
19: insert more values to the table
insert into employess values ('NASH')
COMMIT;
make another archive log switch : alter system archive log current;
do the same process for more values
20 : backup all the archive logs to a new location
21: shutdown the db and simulate a hw error, delete all the files from the database folder
22: try to start the sqlplus and db ::: error
23: copy all the backups to the db dir
need to copy the control files, rename the binary backup of the control file and make the copies as needed
24: try to mount the db, error < must use reset logs or noreset logs >
25: need to do a recovering of the database
shutdown
restore the archive logs
startup mount;
recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;
it will ask for a log file :
yes for recovery
cancel for cancelling recovery
26: check status: open the database in readonly
alter database open read only;
check the tables to see the data
shutdown immediate
shartup mount;
recover again : recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;
if oracle is asking for a log that do nto exist , all we have to do is type cancel
27: open the database
alter database open;
need to do reset logs
alter database open resetlogs;
28: check the db that you are connected, check the tables
thanks and regards

A very long list ... let me make it shorter.
SQL> archive log list;If I see this:
Database log mode No Archive ModeI put the database into archivelog mode and leave it there forever.
If it is in archivelog mode:
RMAN> TARGET SYS/<password>@<service_name> NOCATALOG
RMAN> BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG;Though there are a lot of things one could do better such as incrementals with block change tracking, creating an RMAN catalog, etc.

How to upgrade from oracle database 10g 10.1.0.3 to 10.1.0.5 or 10.2.0.4

I have a oracle database 10g version 10.1.0.3 on solaris 10 x86. I can't find the recent patches suitable to my database.
How can I upgrade it to 10.1.0.5 or higher (10.2.0.4)?
Thanks.

take a looks at this metalink doc for all upgrade needs...

How to automate the Oracle database start and shutdown process

How we can automate and oracle database start and stop procees with Linux start/shutdown process.
I want to automatically start the oracle database at the time linux server and shutdown the database on shutdown linux server.

Hi,
I can share my scripts:
1) /home/oracle/start_oracle.sh
#Script should be ran as Oracle user
cd /tmp
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/ora9i
lsnrctl start
sqlplus -S /nolog <<ENDSQL
connect / as sysdba
startup
exit
ENDSQL
emctl start dbconsole
isqlplusctl start
NOTE: emctl and isqlplus are optional
2) /home/oracle/stop_oracle.sh
#Script should be ran as Oracle user
cd /tmp
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/ora9i
isqlplusctl stop
emctl stop dbconsole
sqlplus -S /nolog <<ENDSQL
connect / as sysdba
shutdown immediate
exit
ENDSQL
lsnrctl stop
NOTE: emctl and isqlplus are optional
Then what you need:
1) K91oracle_stop (put it in the desired run level)
#!/bin/bash
# description: Stop Oracle before reboots
su - oracle -c "/home/oracle/stop_oracle.sh" >> /home/oracle/stoporacle.log
2) S91oracle_start (put it in the desired run level)
#!/bin/bash
# description: Start Oracle after reboots
su - oracle -c "/home/oracle/start_oracle.sh" >> /home/oracle/startoracle.log
Bye.

How to connect to oracle database from visual basic 2010 express edition

I have installed visual basic 2010 express edition on windows xp. But visual basic 2010 express edition supports Microsoft sql server database file,Microsoft sql server compact 3.5, Microsoft access database file. I want to connect to oracle database from visual basic 2010 express edition. So what drivers are required and how to do connectivity?

Hello,
I wasn't clear on what you were using to make the connection. I had a look in Visual Studio 2010 (don't have express to test sorry).
I think you mean the Data Sources available under the menu Data-> Datasources. this seems to match the description you give when I
look at the list of datasource options.
In here you can make ODBC connections via the Microsoft .net Data Provider .
If you select ODBC as a datasource you can see listed the DSN's you created - for example I see 2 which use the Oracle ODBC driver.
This assumes you installed an Oracle Client + the oracle version of the ODBC driver (comes with the oracle client).
Once you created a server connection then you should see it in the server explorer.
You can also download the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio which is an add on for VS.
** I suspect this is only for VS 2010 and I didn't see that Express was supported.

How to install two oracle database on one system

i want to install two oracle databases on single system how it is possible
how i can manager oracle home and is this possible to install two different version of oracle in single home or single system forexample oracle 9 and oracle 8 .
A.R

Hi,
yes, u can have more databases on a single machine and they can be of different versions.
You have to use and initialize the correct ORACLE_HOME to create the DB of the version U use.
For ex, u have 2 homes:
C:\Oracle\Ora817 8i home and C:\Oracle\ora920 9i home
Normally, using OFA, imagine that You want create 2 db, TEST_8I for 8i home and TEST_9I for the 9i home, You shold have:
C:\Oracle\Admin\TEST_8I\<<OFA DIRS>> and C:\Oracle\Oradata\TEST_8I for 8i DB adn C:\Oracle\Admin\TEST_9I\<<OFA DIRS>> and C:\Oracle\Oradata\TEST_9I for the 9i version.
It is important, when You create the DB, that u use the executables of C:\Oracle\Ora817\bin to create 8i db and C:\Oracle\Ora920\bin for the 9i one.
Then U can use the 9i listener to manage both instances
Hope this helps

How search happens in oracle Database

Select emp_name from employee where salary > 10000;
How a search occurs in oracle database where there is a index in salary column and when there is no index in salary column

user8850066 wrote:
i just want to know what happens internally to get the data.That is actually very complicated to answer. Oracle is a powerful and sophisticated piece of software, and what happens internally can vary based on configuration, data volume, and what else is happening. Books, papers and even entire conferences are dedicated to this question. Many myths abound, mostly from oversimplifications and improper assumptions about how Oracle works. The docs are good, but not so much for what is really happening internally.
It is good to be curious. As the others said, read the concepts manual, then read the performance guide and apply what you see to learn what is happening. As you learn more and more, you'll discover even many guru's consider the database a black box that we can only poke at and infer what is happening inside. Oracle does have a lot of instrumentation to see what is going on, but when it comes down to it, we're all still surprised at times about what must be happening.
I'd also recommend Tom Kyte's books, after you've digested the basics (some of which he wrote anyways). He has two great strengths: He explains what is happening clearly, and he shows you how to figure it out for yourself. Also Richard Foote's blog is excellent for the index half of your question, though it might be a bit much if you don't know the basic concepts.
As you read through the concepts, you'll realize your question has to account for things like:
Is it faster to get the data with one process or many?
Are other people modifying the data?
Do you want to get all the data as quickly as possible, or some of the data faster?
Do you know a better way to get the data than Oracle can figure out?
What are you going to do with the data when you get it?
What if the computer crashes while you are getting it?
What if the definition of the table changes while you are trying to get the data?
What if the data is far away?
What if someone doesn't want you to see it?
What if you also need to get some other data too?
All these and more can influence what Oracle does internally. On some basic level, you can say Oracle will do a full table scan or a modified b-tree index search, but beyond that, it can go nuts.
