How to check the Oracle database version

Hi,
How can i check, what type of database am using and which version?
Can anyone help me to know?

I am not sure what exactly you mean by "what type of database am using " but you can try this:
select from v$version;*
This will give you detailed version number of the database components. You can also use
select from PRODUCT_COMPONENT_VERSION;*
to get various components of the DB with their version.

How do I check the oracle client version?

Hi All,
 How do I check the oracle client version installed from the OS level. I do know my database version I need to check which client is being used. Is there a table where this information is stored.
Thanks
Shabna

disp+work.exe -V will tell you which OCI version was used during compiling and linking.
Oracle uses release independent DLL Names (Unix people would say Shared Libraries) and therefore the SAP Kernel will dynamically load any Oracle Client Version found in the standard DLL Load Path during startup.
If you have more versions installed on your computer and you are not shure which one is loaded you can use Process Explorer (freeware, see www.sysinternals.com) to find out which one is loaded. If they belong to an Oracle_home (up to release 9.2) refere to Oracle Universal Installers Inventory information in order to find out which exact version is used.
If an Oracle10 Instant Client is used, there is no corresponding Oracle_Home. In this case you can use Windows Explorer (right click on the DLL -for example oci.dll), select properties, the Version Tab and File Version).
But unfortunately Oracle is not updating the File Version every time they are patching something.
An SAP ABAP Server Integrated Resource is the version information disp+work.exe -V is listing (evquivalent to SM51 - Release Information).
Datenbank Client Library : OCI_10201_SHARE (10.2.0.2.0)
OCI_10201_SHARE is telling us the compile/link environment, the number in brackets (only available starting with Oracle10) tells us the the result of an Oracle Client GetVersion call. Unfortunately this one does also not reflect the installed Minipatch version up to now.
Here are some results on 10.2.0.2 Windows X86_64:
SM51: Datenbank Client Library : OCI_10201_SHARE (10.2.0.2.0)
Explorer (OCI.DLL located in the same directory as disp+work.exe):
 10.2.0.2.0 Patch2
Explorer (oraociicus10.dll - the instant client implementation, this version is the one actual since mini patch 10.2.0.2.5 and it was definitely changed in 10.2.0.2.5):
 OraOCIICUS10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0
 oracore10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
 oranls10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
 orasnls10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
 oraunls10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
 oravsn10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production

 orageneric10.dll - 10.2.0.2.0 Patch2
 oraclient10.dll - 10.2.0.2.0 Patch2
 orapls10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Patch1
 orasql10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production

 orahasgen10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production

 oraocr10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
 oraocrb10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
 oranbeq10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
 orantcp10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
oracommon10.dll from the rdbms server does report 10.2.0.2.0 Patch5 at the same time. compare it with the version information of oracommon10.dll included in oraociicus10.dll. Both patches are included in the same patchset (10.2.0.2.5).
there are two possible conclusions about this:
1. the version infomation is not very reliable.
2. the Oracle Patch and Build environment is not very reliable

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!!!
[email protected]
Jacky

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.

Database slow; How to check the Oracle query timings

Hi,
I have a quick question regarding a troubleshooting iam currently working on.
We have a J2EE application runnig on WLS 81 SP3.
We are experiencing a problem where the customer response time on our application is "too slow". We checked our N/W and they seems to be OK. The Iplanet webserver and BEA application servers looks good but on the Oracle database box - i saw "iowait" (when doing top UNIX command) to be 50-60 % which is extremly high. We are suspecting this to be our issue as the "iowait" is very high at the DATABASE box hence causing BEA servers to show "slow response" on certain pages which are database accentric.
Now, in order to proove that the queries are taking "too longer" to execute from the time BEA server requested and it actually got the reply back from database, i need to dig down and get some "profiling" (due to some political reasons, i can request to turn on profling at the moment) done. So, is there any way i can verify the response time when the BEA server requested some information from the database and the time when Oracle database responded with all the information requested ?
thanks for your help,

Yes. Create a Date object prior to the database call. Then create another one when the call completes. Convert both to mililseconds and subtract. You will have network latency in that statistic, but especially if you are using connection pools, the vast majority should be database access.
Another option is to turn on tk_prof or create an EXPLAIN plan table in Oracle. That will show the 'cost' of each query. Also, try running statistics on the database, that should help the optimizer.

How to check the report builder version from the rdf file

Hi,
I have a rdf file but I don't the developer using which version of report builder to develop the rdf file. So, does anyone knows how to check the rdf file is developed by which version of report builder?
When I try to use the notepad to open the rdf file, it shows the string "ROS.60050". So, does it means that the rdf file is developed by Oracle report 6i?
Besides, do anyone knows if Oracle report 6i are still offer from Oralce (as I know, the latest verison of oracle report is 11g). So, in case Oralce not offer oracle 6i and I need to buy oracle report 11g, do u know it is compatiable or I need to do the migration from 6i to 11g?
Thanks!

Hi,
The ROS version you are seeing in the RDF file does not mean the version where that RDF was developed. I am not aware of a way to check this but something that may help is that when you try to open a RDF developed in a higher version
of Reports with a lower version of Reports builder the following warning will be displayed
Warning. Opening a report saved with a newer version of Reports Builder.
Functionality may be lost. Continue?
"You tried to open a report with a version of Reports Builder older than the version used to
create the report. If the report uses functionality unavailable in the older version, that
functionality will be eliminated from the report.
Regarding Oracle Developer 6i. This version is not supported any more. Regarding how to upgrade Reports 6i to 11g and what to have in mind during the upgrade please review the following documentation.

How to check the Oracle Release?

Hi,
How to check the release version in Oracle AS ?
And
How to find what oracle AS release has happened in year (example 2005)?
Best Regards

There are a couple of ways I use to find the version:
1. Open the Oracle Universal Installer on the machine where the OAS is installed, click on Installed Products. That should display the product and the version number.
2. Set the oracle environment variables, then run the command below
+$ORACLE_HOME/jdk/jre/bin/java -jar $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/oc4j.jar -version+
This should display the version of the OC4J which generally is the version of the OAS (unless you have applied any one-off patches)
Have no idea about the second part of your question. Sorry.

How to check the AIR runtime version?

How can I check the AIR runtime version that is currently
installed on the machine?
Is there a properties file stored in the "Documents and
Settings" Folder or something like that?
Thanks in advance!
Maik

There is a KB article on this:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407625.html
This may get outdated, but as of AIR 1.5.3 the paths are:
Mac OS X
Open the /Library/Frameworks/Adobe AIR.framework/Versions/1.0/Resources/Info.plist text file and locate the <key>CFBundleVersion</key>entry. The corresponding string entry represents the version of AIR, for example: <string>1.5.3.9130</string>
Linux
Open the ApolloVersion text file located inside the /opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Resources directory (for example the ApolloVersion text file would show 1.5.3.9130)

How to create the oracle database for MDM

Hello Friends,
I am new to MDM technology. I have been asked to install MDM 5.5 on windows with oracle database.
i have gone through the installation guides and master guide of MDM. But in the installation the procedure is not given to create the data base after oracle installation. i want to know do i need to create the database manually if yes then what should be the DBSID of the database and schema name etc.
Please help.
Thanks,
Manoj

Well, let's rock.
Oracle database creation
Use Oracle Database Configuration Assistant (Start -> Programs -> ...) to create a new database.
The database naming (on Step 3) is up to you. I used MDM as for SID and MDM.<MYHOSTNAME>.<MYDOMAIN> as for the db name.
Be sure you select UTF8 for the character set (on Step 12) - this requirement is mentioned in the SAP MDM Installation Guide.
All other settings can go default.
Listener and TNS name configuration
The next step is to configure a listener and tns name for your database.
Run the Oracle Net Configuration Assistance and select the "Listener configuration". Default settings on the wizard pages should suite your configuration.
Click Finish.
Run the Oracle Net Configuration Assistance again and select the "Local Service Name configuration". Add one. Choose the name of the database for the service name. It was MDM.<MYHOSTNAME>.<MYDOMAIN> for me.
Ensure that you use name of the database that you've entered during the database creation.
Everything else should go as suggested by default.
Once you are at the Test stage of the wizard and get the "invalid login/password" message, clisk "Change login" and use SYSTEM user and the password you\ve entered during databae creation.
After the test passes, you can connect to your Oracle database through the MDM Console.
Please, let me know if you have any questions, I'll help.
Thanks!

Ojdbc14.jar API and Oracle Database Version

Hi
Im using ojdbc14.jar for accessing an oracle 10G database.
Im trying to troubleshoot an exception -
java.sql.SQLException: Parameter Type Conflict
that seems to get thrown by the method -
OraclePreparedStatament.processCompletedBindRow
I have a couple of questions:
1. Is the documentation/source available for ojdbc14.jar in order that I can try and find out what this method is supposed to be doing?
2. Also, can anyone confirm if the jar Im using is the correct version of drivers for accessing a 10G database?
3. When I go to the JDBC support center at Oracle(http://www.oracle.com/technology/docs/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html) any support documentation/APIs refer only to the Oracle db version and dont mention Java versions. Im using ojdbc14.jar which I guess is for use with Java version 1.4 onwards - how does this relate to the Oracle database versions?
Thnaks very much in advance to anyone who can give me any suggestions on the above. This issue has stumped me for days now. Ive checked and double checked my code, and the Oracle Java types I have generated from the database, and they all seem to be fine.
Jon

unzip it, and look at the MANIFEST.MF file in META-INF
If you do not know the version, you can just download appropriate one from oracle site.
