Implementation of oracle database

What should be the ideal creation of databse if suppose i am having two systems to be
implemented and backend is oracle databse?
Wheather i should create one database and manage with the different tablespaces or i should create different database for different system.
null

if the interaction between the database is quite frequently (more) and r tightly interegrated then go for single database.
Also consider the volumne of transactions/
no of users. If the no of users/transaction volumne is high go for multiple database.

Hadoop Implementation in Oracle Database without Exadata/Oracle hardware

All,
Please does anyone know if Oracle plans to implement hadoop without Oracle supplied hardware (Exadata and the like). The reason I'm asking is that at my company, we are now approaching a transation rate of 2000 t/s (transactions per second) and developers are beginning to complain about how slow Oracle is. They've gone ahead to move parts of the database to Cassandra, Redis and DynamoDB (and they're currently experimenting with MungoDB). I understand that some of these DBs operate a key/value system and so it's fast to retrieve data from them. I'm just wondering if Oracle plans to stem this tide by implementing Hadoop without packaging it with a hardware system so as to make it more affordable to implement as there are so many open source DB springing up theses days.
Please any useful information would be highly appreciated. (And if there's anyone out there close enough to Oracle, please, let them know these threats are real and my Oracle database is actually vanishing under me).
Thanks in advance.

However, it struck me that you consider 2000 tps (or so) to be some kind of threshold above which Oracle technology will have trouble keeping up.
developers are beginning to complain about how slow Oracle isNo. It's not Oracle that is slow. Actually they are beginning to complain about how slow that particular system is performing. The application may be slow, and the database may be the bottleneck. But this does not mean that moving away from Oracle is necessarily the right solution.
Granted, there are excellent innovations in database technology right now, especially in the arena of massively parallel database systems. However, I would want to take a long look at the system design, from hardware to database design to application code before concluding that the dbms needs to change. There could be storage i/o sub system issues or application server issues or network problems too.
I am sorry if I am just regurgitating things you probably already know, and likely have analyzed to death with your system. But Oracle can scale well beyond 2000 tps while still serving up good response times. And it is also important to note that moving to these other database technologies sometimes comes with the need to sacrifice some part of the ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability) properties of transaction management present in a typical RDBMS like Oracle.I have told this story in a few other threads on this forum over the years, but it bears repeating for the OP.
Several years ago (more than I like to think about now) we were evaluating some commercial software for a specialized app in the industry in which I was working at the time. The sales team for one particular vendor kept talking about SQL Sever. I reminded him we were an Oracle shop and asked if their product would run on Oracle. His response was something to the effect that "It will, but we recommend SQL Server because we've found that Oracle bogs down with more than five concurrent connections." The meeting didn't last much longer and I made sure that vendor didn't make the short list. And the lesson is that even commercial software developers (or perhaps especially commecial software developers?) often don't have a clue ...
I'd guess the OP's developers also don't have a clue. Perhaps they are writing their apps to Oracle using what they learned as 'best practice' in SQL Server. Or perhaps they are even more clueless than that and the need to design for scalability and performance never even enters their minds.

Oracle Database Mobile Server 11g

Hi,
We implemented Oracle EBS R11i for one of our customers. We also implemented Oracle Mobile Server 9i on Windows Server and Olite 9i on PDAs running Windows.
Now the customer wants to upgrade Oracle EBS to R12 and also upgrade Oracle Mobile Server and Olite 9i to newer versions of Oracle and also want to use Android on the PDAs/Mobile Devices.
Can we implement Oracle Database Mobile Server 11g and Mobile Client as mentioned in these links:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/database-mobile-server/dms-11g-datasheet-512117.pdf
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/database-mobile-server/overview/index.html
I think it will be a new implementation of Oracle Database Mobile server and Mobile client and not an upgrade.
Any suggestions is welcome.
Regards,
Thiru

MFS embeds Olite into the product. Put another way, through MFS interfaces it defines/determines what functionality of mobile server can be used. Under the MFS configuration the Olite client database is used and the web-to-go app is used, there are no other choices. Very common when a software product includes some other product, it will determine what parts of the embedded product gets used.
Olite 10.3.0.3 as a separately download product used standalone has additional capability. Note: 10.3.0.3 is no longer separately downloadable over OTN.
In DMS 11.x -- we removed Olite client database, rearchitected sync to better fit BDB and allows for BDB and SQLite (either one of those can be used) on the client db. Again, MFS is only compatible with 10.3.0.3/2 right now. That team is a different development team within Oracle, on totally different release schedules than the Database Mobile Server development team. Android support was added in DMS 11.x.
thanks

How to implement optemistic locking in pl/sql for oracle database

i have search the net to find example of how i can do the optimistic locking in pl/sql, all the resources i found were old , for example "Optimistic Locking with Concurrence in Oracle.
As " by Graham Thornton Snr. Database Architect / Oracle DBA in 2001, but at the end he said that the approach will not work fine if the update being made is a relative update, this apprach includes:-
1.add a timestamp column to an exsiting table.
2.add a preinsert trigger on the table to set the timestamp.
3.add a preupdate trigger to comapre the old time stamp with the new one.
So where i can find updated resources about this issue.
Edited by: 812643 on 17-Nov-2010 12:39

totally plagiarized from expert oracle database architecture 9i, 10g, 11g by Tom Kyte pg201
one popular implementation of optimistic locking is to keep the old and new values in the application and upon updating the data use and update like this
update table
set column1 =: new_column1, column2 = : new_column2, ...
where primary_key = :primary_key
and decode( column1, :old_column1, 1 ) = 1
and decode( column2, :old_column2, 1 ) = 1
another implementation
optimistic locking using a version column
add a single column to each database table you wish to protect from lost updates. this column is generally either a number or date/timestamp column
It is typically maintened via a row trigger on the table, which is responsible for incrementing the number column or updating the date/timestamp column
every time a row is modified.
another one on page 204
optimistic locking usin a checksum
similiar to the version column implementation but it uses the base data itself to compute a virtual version column.
the ones suggested where owa_opt_lock.checksum, dbms_obfuscation_toolkit.md5, dbms_crypto.hash, ora_hashEdited by: pollywog on Nov 17, 2010 3:48 PM
might be a good book for you to look into getting it has a whole chapter on locking and latching.

Physical/Logical model that implement oracle database

Dear Forum's member,
I need documentation where I can see a grafical or a figure of the Physical/Logical relationship model that implement the Oracle object internally. It's not an specific example. It's about how oracle store the objects that it manage and are they related to the others.
Best regards,
José Guillén

I once used Erwin Design tool which can help in your task. I do not know if this is still around, since I used it in 2005.

Connection pooling and auditing on an oracle database

Integration of a weblogic application with an oracle backend,
Connection pooling, and auditing ,2 conflicting requirements ?
Problem statement :
We are in the process of maintaining a legacy client server application where
the client is
written in PowerBuilder and the backend is using an Oracle database.
Almost all business logic is implemented in stored procedures on the database.
When working in client/server mode ,1 PowerBuilder User has a one-to-one relation
with
a connection(session) on the oracle database.
It is a requirement that the database administrator must see the real user connected
to the database
and NOT some kind of superuser, therefore in the PowerBuilder app each user connects
to the database
with his own username.(Each user is configured on the database via a seperate
powerbuilder security app).
For the PowerBuilder app all is fine and this app can maintain conversional state(setting
and
reading of global variables in oracle packages).
The management is pushing for web-based application where we will be using bea
weblogic appserver(J2EE based).
We have build an business app which is web-based and accessing the same oracle
backend app as
the PowerBuilder app is doing.
The first version of this web-based app is using a custom build connector(based
on JCA standard and
derived from a template provided by the weblogic integration installation).
This custom build connector is essentially a combination of a custom realm in
weblogic terms
and a degraded connection pool , where each web session(browser) has a one-to-one
relation
with the back end database.
The reason that this custom connector is combining the security functionality
and the pooling
functionality , is because each user must be authenticated against the oracle
database(security requirement)
and NOT against a LDAP server, and we are using a statefull backend(oracle packages)
which would make it
difficult to reuse connections.
A problem that surfaced while doing heavy loadtesting with the custom connector,
is that sometimes connections are closed and new ones made in the midst of a transaction.
If you imagine a scenario where a session bean creates a business entity ,and
the session bean
calls 1 entity bean for the header and 1 entity bean for the detail, then the
header and detail
must be created in the same transaction AND with the same connection(there is
a parent-child relationship
between header and detail enforced on the back end database via Primary and Foreing
Keys).
We have not yet found why weblogic is closing the connection!
A second problem that we are experincing with the custom connector, is the use
of CMP(container managed persistence)
within entity beans.
The J2EE developers state that the use of CMP decreases the develoment time and
thus also maintenance costs.
We have not yet found a way to integrate a custom connector with the CMP persistence
scheme !
In order to solve our loadtesting and CMP persistence problems i was asked to
come up with a solution
which should not use a custom connector,but use standard connection pools from
weblogic.
To resolve the authentication problem on weblogic i could make a custom realm
which connects to the
backend database with the username and password, and if the connection is ok ,
i could consider this
user as authenticated in weblogic.
That still leaves me with the problem of auditing and pooling.
If i were to use a standard connection pool,then all transaction made in the oracle
database
would be done by a pool user or super user, a solution which will be rejected
by our local security officer,
because you can not see which real user made a transaction in the database.
I could still use the connection pool and in the application , advise the application
developers
to set an oracle package variable with the real user, then on arrival of the request
in the database,
the logic could use this package variable to set the transaction user.
There are still problems with this approach :
- The administrator of the database can still not see who is connected , he will
only see the superuser connection.
- This scheme can not be used when you want to use CMP persistence , since it
is weblogic who will generate the code
to access the database.
I thought i had a solution when oracle provided us with a connection pool known
as OracleOCIConnectionPool
where there is a connection made by a superuser, but where sessions are multiplexed
over this physical pipe with the real user.
I can not seem to properly integrate this OCI connectionpool into weblogic.
When using this pool , and we are coming into a bean (session or entity bean)
weblogic is wrapping
this pool with it's own internal Datasource and giving me back a connection of
the superuser, but not one for the real user,
thus setting me with my back to the wall again.
I would appreciate if anyone had experienced the same problem to share a possible
solution with us
in order to satisfy all requirements(security,auditing,CMP).
Many Thanks

Hi Blyau,
As Joe has already provided some technical advice,
I'll try to say something on engineering process level.
While migrating an application from one technology to
other, like client-server to n-tier in you case, customers and
stakeholders want to push into the new system as many old
requirements as possible. This approach is AKA "we must
have ALL of the features of the old system". Mostly it happens
because they don't know what they want. Ad little understanding
of abilities of the new technology, and you will get a requirement
like the one you have in you hands.
I think "DBA must see real user" is one of those. For this
type of requirements it can make sense to try to drop it,
or to understand its nature and suggest alternatives. In this
particular case it can be a system that logs user names,
login and logout times.
Blind copying of old features into an incompatible new architecture
may endanger the whole project and can result in its failure.
Hope this helps.

Slava Imeshev

Retrieve data from a synonym in oracle database through db connect

Hi Everyone,
I have created certain synonym for some tables in oracle. I want to retrieve data from it through db connect but where through source system and then selecting database tables, only tables and views are available.
Synonyms are not available to create data sources and retrieve the data from it. Why is it so. Is this a limitation of db connect.
Can anyone please let me know about it.
Thanks,
Joshua.

Hi,
You want to import data from an external Oracle database into your BW 3.X. To do this, you can connect the external database to the BW 3.X release as a source system using the external database connect. BW 3.X here represents BW 3.0, BW 3.1 and BW 3.5 because in other (DB relevant) parts, all 3 versions are based on the same source code.
General information
The above function allows you to load data from an external Oracle database (not a BW database) into your BW 3.0 system.
There may also be constellations which cannot be used directly through the DB Connect access. However, it should be possible to find an adequate, customer-specific solution for most of these scenarios.
In such situations, the resulting work falls into the area of Consulting and cannot be handled via Support.
Successful implementation of a connection requires corresponding expertise and experience in the use of the source database in the areas:
                - Tools
                - SQL syntax
                - DB-specific functions
Corresponding knowledge of the source application is also required to ensure that semantically relevant data arrives in the BW system.
Procedure
You should execute the following steps to connect the source system (Q) to the BW system (BW):
Installing the client software on an BW application server
                     Of course, you only need to install the client software if you are using BW with a non-Oracle database.
                     Use the Oracle setup program on the database CD (runInstaller on Unix) to start the OracleInstaller. Follow the program instructions and the DB installation instructions to install the Oracle Client software on BW.
Testing connection setup from BW to Q
                     After you install the client software on BW, try to set up a connection from BW to the server on Q. You may need to adjust the tnsnames.ora or sqlnet.ora files for this, to introduce the Oracle systems (to which contact should be made) to BW. You can test the connection by executing the command "tnsping QDB" on BW to check whether the client has established contact to the QDB database on the Q system.
Creating a separate U user in Q
                     We recommend that you create a separate U user in Q for connection to BW. This means that authorization and administration questions can be solved centrally.
Displaying data sources in Q for the U user
                     To provide U data for users other than U, you can create views on other user tables as user U:
                     CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW viewname AS
                       SELECT * FROM QDB.tablename
                     You may have to grant SELECT privileges to user U in the QDB schema:
                        GRANT select ON QDB.tablename TO U
                     Of course, you can also restrict or reformat data in the view arrangement (for example, change from internal date format into the SAP date format). JOIN operations using several tables are also available.
                     !!! Synonyms do not yet work!!!
                     Synonyms that you can create as described below are another option for providing a complete table for the user U:
                       CREATE SYNONYM synoname FOR QDB.tablename
                     !!! Synonyms do not (yet) work!!!
                     After you have displayed the require data for user U, you can simply use
                       SELECT * FROM <view or table>
                     on the Q system to check which data is returned.
                     You can now open a link to Q as user U in the BW system with SQLPLUS and check, using the same SELECT, whether this data is also seen in the Oracle client. If this is not the case, there is probably a connection problem.
Creating a connection from BW to Q in BW
Including data sources of user U user in Q in BW.
Solution
Supported BW, Basis and BW 3.0B database versions, Basis 6.20 Support Package 2 (or higher)
      Oracle 8.1 (or higher, see below)
Possible problems
- Synonyms do not (yet) work!
Up to now, only tables and views have been used as data sources for the DB Connect from the R3 Basis. As soon as synonyms are also used in the Basis, you will be able to convert created views (or even replicated tables) to synonyms as a workaround.
With Basis 6.40 at the earliest, therefore as of BW 3.5, you will also be able to use synonyms. Until then, the following will help:
CREATE VIEW <view_on_synonym> AS SELECT * FROM <synonym>
- The source DB must have at least the release version of the BW DB.
Oracle only ensures the support of client-server links if the version of the client is not higher than that of the server. So if BW has Oracle version 8.1 and, as in the case of Dbconnect, is run as a client against the server of the source database, the source database must have at least release Oracle 8.1 or higher.
Of course, you have the option to install the Oracle client software of a lower version and then use this for the DB connect. This is also the procedure used to work with a DB connect on external databases of other vendors.
Furthermore, the implementation of the DBconnect function in BW uses SAP Basis functions. Specifications of Oracle 8.1 database catalogs are used here. The source database must therefore have at least Version 8.1.
- Oracle Client Software Version
If you want to connect from an Oracle BW DB to an Oracle source DB, for the DB connect you naturally use the client software that you already installed on each application server.
If you want to connect from a non-Oracle BW DB to an Oracle source DB, check item 3 of note 521230 to see which Oracle client software version is released with your BW R3 kernel and use this version.
- Date and time fields in Oracle and their conversion into SAP-compatible column formats
Example with a DATE field:
Since a SAP table does not have a DATE field (date values are NUMC(8) and time specifications are NUMC(6)), we will use the Oracle DBA_TABLES system table as an example.
    SQL> desc dba_tables;
The Oracle DBA_TABLES system table has a LAST_ANALYZED field. This is a DATE type field and is recognized as a date field of 7 characters by DBA_CONNECT. However, the import does not work because the DATE is a 7-byte conglomerate of "...century, year, month, date, hour, minute and second." (extract from the Oracle documentation).
To make this DATE field legible for DB connect, you must use the TO_CHAR function in a VIEW. This should display the following examples:
SQL> select LAST_ANALYZED from dba_tables
      where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The formatting used here is the default used implicitly by SQLPLUS.
SQL> select to_char(LAST_ANALYZED,'YYYYMMDD') as dat from dba_tables where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The result now has the SAP compatible format YYYYMMDD and should be loaded correctly by the DB connect as a date.
SQL> select to_char(LAST_ANALYZED,'HH24MISS') as tim from dba_tables where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The result now has the SAP compatible format HHMMSS and should be loaded correctly by the DB connect as a time.
You can use the following example for more detailed experiments:
SQL> select to_char(
       TO_DATE('03-FEB-2001 04:05:06','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),
       'YY-MM-DD HH24-MI-SS') as datim from dual;
with the result:
DATIM
01-02-03 04-05-06
When you create a VIEW and use the TO_CHAR function (or other functions), you should easily be able to avoid problems with the interpretation of date/time specifications (and other reformatting).
Details about the functions and the formats are contained in the Oracle documentation.
- Special characters
A words that contain special characters can only be imported correctly if the code pages in BW and in the source system are identical. If the code pages are not the same, DB Connect can be used if the characters to be imported appear under the first 127 characters of the character set.
The use of multibyte code pages in the source system for saving data using character sets with more than 256 characters (Kanji, Katakana, Hiragana, Korean, Chinese, Tagalog, Khmer, Arabic, Cherokee, and so on) can cause the characters to become corrupt.
For questions concerning the code pages, also refer to the FAQ note 606359 and question/answer 19 that appears there.

How to import a schema into the Oracle Database -

Hi
I have downloaded schema (spatial MVDemo schema) from oracle. To implement a functionality in obiee 11g i need to import the downloaded schema in to Oracle database.
some one please give me step by step commands to acheve the same by using sql plus.
Please let me know if you need any information.
TIA.
Regards

Pl post exact OS and database versions, along with a link to where you downloaded this demo from. Did that link not provide any details on how to import ?

What I usually do in situations like this is that I connect to the database using a sql client and the same connection information as I specified to OIM and see if the attribute is present.
Perhaps you got the wrong db name? Or schema name?
Everything looks good so most probably there simply is some little typo somewhere.
Hope this helps

Using Coherence and Oracle Database as the CacheStore

We are working on implementing a solution using Coherence and Oracle Database as the CacheStore. We initially implemented the Cache as a distributed-scheme which in turn uses the backing-map-scheme. We are trying to introduce transaction management and I used a scheme-ref in a transactional-scheme to point to an already existing distributed-scheme. However when I bring up the server, my custom coherence-cache-config.xml file is not recognized and Coherence comes up with the default setting. Given below is the snippet of my configuration file.
1)     I would like to understand why the below configuration doesn’t work and am I doing it the right way? If not, what is the correct way of doing it?
2)     There are a multiple transaction management options given in the documentation. Which are the ones that will work with a distributed-scheme and read-write-backing-map-scheme?
3)     If transactional-schemes cannot work with distributed-scheme, what is the best way to have a distributed cache with a oracle database as a cache store?
<caching-scheme-mapping>

</init-params>
</class-scheme>
</cachestore-scheme>

</read-write-backing-map-scheme>
</backing-map-scheme>
<autostart>true</autostart>
</distributed-scheme>

Hi,
If you look at the documentation for transactional-scheme here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24290_01/coh.371/e22837/appendix_cacheconfig.htm#BHCIABHA
you will see that it says The transactional-scheme element defines a transactional cache, which is a specialized distributed cache. That means that a transactional-scheme is already a distributed-scheme.
You will see from the same documentation above that there is no way in a transactional-scheme to configure things like cache-stores or listeners or even the backing-map-scheme as these are not supported on a transactional-scheme - so you cannot use a cache store.
Personally I would not use transactional-scheme unless you have some really big reason to do so - the restrictions far outweigh any perceived advantage of having a transaction. There are better ways to build applications so they do not require transactions, that is what we have been doing for years with Coherence so far, and there is no real reason to change that.

Open Hub Destination to Oracle database

Hello All ,
I am supposed to send data from my SAP BI (7.0) system to and Oracle Database using open hub destination. I have to use the option " Third Party " as destination while creating the Open Hub Destination .
From my reading and acc to Basis I realised that I need a 3rd party ETL tool in between BI and Oracle system to write data into the Oracle system since oracle is not SAP RFC aware . The 3rd party ETL that I am supposed to use in this is Business Objects - Data Integrator(BO-DI) . If anyone has implemented this type of Open hub service please throw some light on this issue as to how to setup the 3rd party ETL in between and how to proceed . Any how to document would also be useful .
Thanks and Regards,

I have created external directory and am able to load pdf files in oracle database table called test_blob.
CREATE TABLE test_blob (
id NUMBER(15)
, file_name VARCHAR2(1000)
, image BLOB
, timestamp DATE
I have 2 pdf files in the table. I want to view this pdf from forms when the user clicks on the button. On when-button-pressed trigger I want to show pdf on the screen. Any help is appreciated. Not on the designer. I want to run form application.
SELECT id, file_name,
DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(image) Length,
timestamp
FROM test_blob
ID|FILE_NAME|LENGTH|TIMESTAMP

We were able to do the same thing with Oracle Application Server and Oracle WebLogic Server. I cannot remember how different the processes were, but it seems like they were very similar. I am going to give you the instructions on how we implemented a "Read PDF" procedure on the WebLogic Server. If you are still on the Application Server you may have to do some Google searches, but it all boils down to the mod_plsql DAD Configuration file.
Our PDF was located in a table with the following structure:
CASE_DOCUMENTS
   (id_document                    NUMBER NOT NULL,
    doc_blob                       BLOB,
    note                           VARCHAR2(240),
    created_by                     VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL,
    created_dt                     DATE NOT NULL,
    case_id                        NUMBER NOT NULL,
    filename                       VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL)Based on that table structure we created a procedure named READ_PDF which you will reference below in the dads.conf file below:
CREATE or REPLACE procedure read_pdf (p_id_document IN number)
is
view_file     blob;
BEGIN
select doc_blob
    into view_file
    from case_documents
   where id_document = p_id_document;
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER ('APPLICATION/PDF', FALSE);
HTP.P ('CONTENT-LENGTH: ' || DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH (view_file));
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file (view_file);
END;
GRANT EXECUTE ON read_pdf TO financial_user_role -- Name of role to execute
/Basically, you are passing in one parameter and that is the primary key for your table. You are selecting the pdf stored in a BLOB for that primary key. The commands below that allow the pdf to open up so you can view it – we got this off some search we did a few years ago.
Now, you need to add logic to your Oracle Form that will call the procedure above, but the URL is based on the dads.conf file that we will set up below… Anyway, we created a button on the form module with a label of "View". In the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger the logic looks like this:
-- The View logic uses the DAD (Database Access Descriptors) method to view a .pdf file from the form.
-- The DAD was created on WebLogic Server with the name findadgen. This allows an http request be made
-- to the database.
declare
v_file          varchar2(400);
v_success       boolean;
ret_val         number;
v_http_link     varchar2(400);
begin
-- The format of the link is as follows: hostname:port/pls/DAD_name/procedure_name
v_http_link := 'http://finas03:8888/pls/findadgen/read_pdf?p_id_document=' || :case_documents.id_document;
web.show_document(v_http_link, '_BLANK');
end;The name of our WebLogic Server is "finas03" so that is what is listed in the URL. The "findadgen" is the name of the <Location> in the dads.conf file below, the "read_pdf" is the name of the procedure we created above, the "p_id_document=" is the IN parameter listed in the READ_PDF procedure created above, and the ":case_documents.id_document" is the reference to the primary key in our Oracle Form.
For WebLogic, you can either go through Enterprise Manager (directions below) or update the dads.conf file on the filesystem directly (if you update the dads.conf file directly then skip to step 4 and ignore step 5):
1.     Enterprise Manager -> Web Tier -> ohs1
2.     Oracle HTTP Server (pull-down) – Administration – Advance Configuration
3.     Select File – dads.conf
4.     Add something similar:
# ============================================================================
#                     mod_plsql DAD Configuration File
# ============================================================================
# 1. Please refer to dads.README for a description of this file
# ============================================================================
# Note: This file should typically be included in your plsql.conf file with
# the "include" directive.
# Hint: You can look at some sample DADs in the dads.README file
# ============================================================================
<Location /pls/findadgen>
    SetHandler pls_handler
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from All
    AllowOverride None
    PlsqlDatabaseUsername financial
    PlsqlDatabasePassword sdo_3#d1
    PlsqlDatabaseConnectString ffindbTNSFormat
    PlsqlNLSLanguage AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
    PlsqlAuthenticationMode Basic
    PlsqlDefaultPage read_pdf
</Location>You are adding the <Location> section to your dads.conf file. The "finddadgen" is the name that you will reference in a change you fill make to your Oracle Form. The "financial" is the Schema, the "sdo_3#d1" is the password for that Schema, the "ffindb" is the database that the stored procedure is located on, and the "read_pdf" is a stored procedure you will have to create in order to read the pdf.
5.     Press the "Apply" Button
6.     Obfuscate the DAD password by running the dadTool.pl script located in $ORACLE_HOME/bin (This was done on Unix on our server with the following commands):
$> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib;export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$> cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
$> perl dadTool.pl -f /u01/app/oracle/middleware/asinst_1/config/OHS/ohs1/mod_plsql/dads.conf
7.     Restart the Oracle HTTP Server using Fusion Middleware Control:
Enterprise Manager -> Web Tier -> ohs1
Oracle HTTP Server – Control – Shutdown
Oracle HTTP Server – Control – Start Up
If you followed the instructions above, you should have created a stored procedure, added logic to your Oracle form to reference that stored procedure, and created an entry in the dads.conf file. Once you move the form onto the server and you restart the HTTP Service, you should be able to view a pdf that is stored in a table directly from your Oracle Form.

How to load PDF files into oracle database and display them in APEX

Hi All,
We have a requirement for loading the Loading PDF files (lots of PDf files) to the oracle database and then display the PDF files in the Oracel APEX report.
So that User can view the PDF files. Our current APEX verison is 3.2..
Please let me know how to implement it and where to find the sample application!
Thanks in advanced!
Jane

Thanks Tony for your quick response!
We need to load a lot of PDfs (history + current).
I have a questions about the SQL loader. I am trying to insert a pdf file into a table by following the oracle loading sample:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/text.920/a96518/aload.htm
Example Data File: loader2.dat
This file contains the data to be loaded into each row of the table, articles_formatted.
Each line contains a comma separated list of the fields to be loaded in articles_formatted. The last field of every line names the file to be loaded in to the text column:
Ben Kanobi, plaintext,Kawasaki news article,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
But i don't know to where should I put my pdf file on the server.
for example:
,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
Where is the file 'kawasaki.txt'??
I try my local path, it didn't work. like c:\temp.
then I loaded teh PDf file into our server(/findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp) , and In my data file. I put the path
1, pdf_emp1,../findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp
but I got the error: the system can not find the file specified.
Where should I put the PDf files on the server and how to specify the path in the data file?
Thanks!

Passing the XML payload to the cursor in the Oracle Database

Hi Experts,
I am trying to insert multiple records in the table of oracle database. I am sending 5000 records per message. I am using a stored procedure to insert the records. I want to make a single call to the stored procedure and insert all the records.
I dont want to call SP for each record.
Please suggest the way to implement this (Using Cursor/Loop) .
Thanks
Ajay

Hi
Use these link to insert multiple record in single call using stored procedure.
