How to create a database for keeping track or similar topics

I have been using Macs for years. Only to do what I needed. Not a geek. In Appleworks years ago I could create a data base where I could organize categories i.e. I am a yoga teacher and could list the various poses that were good for headaches. Some of these were also good for something else. With the data base I could parse through for what I was looking for. I want to do that again and cannot figure out how to do it.
Help appreciated.

You could probably use something like [Bento|http://www.filemaker.com/products/bento/features.html] for the job, or even do something basic with a Spreadsheet in Numbers or Excel.

How to create a database for sample code from Tutorial/Book?

I want to try out the sample code from [http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920013471.do] for the book SQL Pocket Guide 3rd Ed.
I have downloaded the oracle vm/appliance for oracle 11g2 and I have started sqlplus as sysdba.
I'm feeling overwhelmed with these links describing how to create a database:
[http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/ora/admin/creatingdbmanually.html]
[http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Oracle-7-HOWTO-3.html]
[http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/ora/admin/creatingdbmanually.html]
(1) What is the command to list the existing databases?
(2) What is the command to delete an existing database?
(3) When creating a new database with the create database command, is it necessary to specify the logfile, character set, national character set, datafile, sysaux datafile, undo tablespace, temp table space? Do these have reasonable defaults? I'm not sure what proper directories are to specify for Linux and the examples are for windows.
Can someone give me a simplified create database command to create a database called 3rdEdPocketGuide? Should I follow the example at [http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Oracle-7-HOWTO-3.html] and instead of orcl use 3rdEdPocketGuide?
(4) What command do I use to execute the script that comes with the book SQL Pocket Guide 3rd Ed? This is the script that has all the drop table, create table and insert commands in it.
(5) What command do I use in sqlplus to set the current default database prior to running this script? Perhaps this is the connect command? I don't want my script to create tables in the system database.
(6) I tried the command "connect 3rdEdPocketGuide" and it prompted for a password! Yikes! What password? Do I need to specify a password when I create a database? I cannot tell if I have successfully created such a database or it is just prompting me for a password to thwart malicious users. Is it is possible to create databases which don't require a password or maybe a zero length password?
Thanks
Siegfried

Anyway, I'm trying your suggestion to use SQL Developer which was already installed in the virtual box appliance and I cannot figure out how to get a connection.
When I use the defaults of sid=xe, port=1521, hostname=localhost and specify
username=sysdba
password=
I get status: failure - test failed: listener refursed connection with the following error: ORA 12505, TNS: listener does not current know of sid given.
So I try sid=orcl and that works better: status: failure - test failed: ORA-01017: invalid username/passowrd; login denied
OK, sqlplus let me in with out a password, why does not this work?
So I try checking the box for "OS Authentication" and I get the same error!

Everyone:
Do I need to create a user using SQL*Plus first so I can login with "Oracle SQL Developer" so I create my database called? What would be the "create user" command I would execute?
OK, so I run sqlplus and issue these commands
create user siegfried identified by abc ;
grant connect to siegfried ;
connect siegfried/abc;
Now, how do I create a database? In Microsoft SQL Server one has to create a database first and if you just start creating tables without creating a database first, the tables will be created in the system database and this is usually undesirable.
Sometimes a database is known in the java connection string as the catalog. Is there any such analog in oracle SQL plus?
So now what do I do? I want to create a bunch of tables using my script I downloaded from 3rd Ed SQL Pocket Guide. Does my new user "siegfried" have the right to create tables? I guess I could try but I don't want to create tables in the system database.
I noticed I can also use "Oracle SQL Developer" to connect with my new "siegfried" account. It seems that I should have been able to connect with sysdba... strange.
So now I am connected in the "Oracle SQL Developer" and I see no list of databases.
Thanks!

Learning how to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
Go to docs.oracle.com.
Locate the link for your Oracle product and version, and click on it.
You are now at the entire documentation set for your selected Oracle product and version.
BOOKMARK THAT LOCATION
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab (for 10.x) or the "Master Book List" link (for 11.x) you will find the complete documentation library.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there.
Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
Do the same with the Utilities manual.
You don't have to read the above in depth. They are reference manuals. Just get familiar with what is there to be referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
- *Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual*.
- Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them (listed in your alert log) in the Reference Manual.
- Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
- *When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again*.

How to create Presentation variable for columns and to use it in Narrative?

Hi All,
Anybody know how to create presentation variable for a column (i.e., i need to create it in edit formula section itself). And then, I should use it in Narrative section to display that column value. Is it possible? Or do i need to use any other variable for this requirement? If so please let me know, how to create it? This is very urgent requirement.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Satya,
I just want to create a table that should horizontally display the values like below:
     SUID Tag # :123456               Year Mfg: 2007
     Description: computer corporation FA ID#: 4576
     Model Number: 4569 hESC: #ert
     Serial Number: 78945 Flags: c
Department: Hematology
User: thenmozhi
Database: OLAP
I think we can create this type of report using either Narrative or Static Text. But I am not sure whether it is possible or not? And also another thing is that sectioning is applied for SUID Tag # column. So, depending on the dashboard prompt if the SUID Tag # retrieves two or more values.
Then the first value for example 123456     and the values for the other columns related to this SUID Tag # value should display in the first page (i.e., page 1). And if the next value of the SUID Tag # for example say 678901 then the values should move to second page that is like this:
     SUID Tag # :678901               Year Mfg: 2008
     Description: Computer Manufacturing FA ID#: 4577
     Model Number: 4570 hESC: #eth

How to create fxplug transition for xcode and quatrz composer

how to create fxplug transition for xcode and quatrz composer?

Hi Mohan,
You have to create and configure your system in the system administration tab in the portal.
Usually, it looks like the following:
System from template: JDBC System
Connector properties
   Connection URL: jdbc:sap:sqlserver://<serverlocation>;DatabaseName=<database name>
   Driver class name: com.sap.portals.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
User management properties
   User mapping type: admin, user
Set the system with an alias.
Go to user administration tab and map the user with VCRole to the configured system
(the default for MSSQL is usauly user: sa and pw: admin)
Save your changes and logon to VC with this user.
The alias name should appear in your list of systems.
Hope I helped,

How to create new database on Oracle 10g

Hi All,
Can any one tell me how to create new database on oracle 10g.
Thanks in Advance for your help.

again some confusion here.....
u said u need a new database in your first post and now you saying u need a new schema..
one database has many schemas(users)..... ex: scott,sys,system are few of them...
now it depends you need seperate database for test,dev environment - this is in the case u have many schemas under each database and many tables(objects) under each schema.
OR
You just need a separate schema (in same db) for test,dev environment...where in you will have multiple tables in each schema...U need to know the dba credentials of the db to create a new schema.
ideally u need to have different database...You can create one with out sys/system(oracle users) password as these passwords are db dependent.
what you need is access to the any machine where server is installed(can be the same mc where you have your dev db or a diff machine) and that will be the machine where your db will be installed (can do it through database configuration assistance),ofcourse you will need windows authentication for this.
so you login to the same machine or access it from your machine using remote login.
I hope that is clear.Hope i am not listing things that you already know..Just did it coz of confusion between db and schema

How to create first database

Hi there,
This is my first post on this forum. I am totaly new to Oracle as I am working on one project which require Oracle as db.
I have installed Oracle Database 10g Express Edition. I can login by system user or as hr. Now when I am trying to create database instance for my project.net application, I am not finding the option to create the db. Its manual (even here in forum someone) pointed about Configuration and Migration Tool menu under Start/Oracle. But I don't have that option under my oracle. What I have is Start > Oracle Database 10g Express Edition > 1) Help 2) Backup Database 3) Get Started 4) Go to Homepage 5) Start SQL command line 6) Start Db etc...
Can anyone guide me how to create first database? Thanks in adv and your answer will really be appreciated.
Regards,
Yatrik

I think I didn't explain properly. I can connect. I have got two database users as well. The one is default hr and second I just created as yatrik.
By saying how to create database, I want to accomplish this below procedure.
Run the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant located in the Windows Start/Oracle/Configuration and Migration Tools menu to create a database instance for the Project.net application. 1. Select Create a Database the click Next.
2. Choose the General Purpose database template.
3. Note the Global Database Name and SID that you use.
4. Choose your preferred management method. If unsure, chose the default.
5. Note the password(s) you use for the various accounts.
6. Select the appropriate storage mechanism for your installation. Again, if unsure, chose the default.
7. Specify the storage location.
8. And Recovery Configuration.
9. Do not install the Sample Schemas.
10. Select the remaining options, as appropriate to your installation, and create the database. Here when I go to Start > Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, I don't get Configuration and Migration Tools Menu anywhere. The above steps says how to create it but I can't find that tool menu.
I know how to create tables and all such but I am looking for that particular option where I can complete the above steps.
I hope I have explained more briefly to understand what I am trying to do.

How to create Import format for building version Hirerarchy and Node

Hi
i Want to know how to create Import format for building version Hirerarchy and Nodes.Can anyone show me with example or format for version Hierarchy with few nodes for the hierarchy
i Want to Build   this   1. Version1 (Version)
                                 2.Account (Hirerarchy)

Thanks,

Please follow the DRM User Guide,
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/drm_user.pdf
Below is my preferred approach, by selecting only relation and Hierarchy sections,
The relation section contains the Node Name and Parent Name ( you can include any other properties, but as a best practice keep the Parent Node as the last column).
The Hierarchy ( Hier ) section contains the Hierarchy Name, Top Node and Hierarchy description
Follow the Import steps and provide a Name for the version.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[relation]
AC_BalanceSheet AC_Account
AC_Asset AC_Account
AC_Cash AC_Account
[hier]
Account AC_Account AccountHier
++++++++++++++++++++++
Note: Please delete all the special characters (TAB) created at the end of [relation] and [hier] sections while you copy the content from an Excel sheet to a Notepad.

HT3814 how do i get itunes to keep track info on cds i burn from my itunes library?

how do i get itunes to keep track info on cds i burn in itunes?

Audio CDs do not contain track information. For commercial CDs this information is supplied by the Gracenote service (see below). Each computer gets this information for a particular CD from this service, it isn't on the CD. You would have to register your CD with Gracenote. In my opinion this is a bit much for a personal CD that only a few computers in the world will ever see, but I guess unless they block it then you can do it.
How iTunes remembers audio CDs - http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27785
What are all those iTunes files? - http://www.macworld.com/article/139974/2009/04/itunes_files.html - "iTunes Library Extras.itdb contains some Gracenote CDDB information."
= Registering a CD with Gracenote =
