Install oracle database prior to installing oracleAS ?

Hello world,
I am trying to installing oracle application server on my computer.
Going through installation steps I find that OracleAS metadata repository will be created automatically in a database.
Does the installing OracleAS comes with Oracle database? or Am I required to install Oracle Database before I install OracleAS Infrastructure components?
Please point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Hi,
By default for OAS 10g r2 metadata repository get created during your oracle infra installation,
There is no need to install separate oracle Database before installing Application server.
It depends on which OAS are you installing.
Kindly revert for any clarification

Database growth following index key compression in Oracle 11g

Hi,
We have recently implemented index key compression in our sap R3 environments, but unexpectedly this has not resulted in any reduction of index growth rates.
What I mean by this is that while the indexes have compressed on average 3 fold (over the entire DB), we are not seeing this with the DB growth going forward.
ie We were experiencing ~15GB/month growth in our database prior to compression, but this figure doesnt seem to have changed much in the 2-3months that we have implemented in our production environments.
Our trial with ACO compression seemed to yield reduction of table growth rates that corresponded to the compression ratio (ie table data growth rates dropped to a third after compression), but we havent seen this with index compression.
Does anyone know if a rebuild with index key compression will it compress any future records inserted into the tables once compression is enabled (as I assumed) or does it only compress whats there already?
Cheers
Theo

Hello Theo,
Does anyone know if a rebuild with index key compression will it compress any future records inserted into the tables once compression is enabled (as I assumed) or does it only compress whats there already?
I wrote a blog about index key compression internals long time ago ([Oracle] Index key compression), but now i noticed that one important statement is missing. Yes future entries are compressed too - index key compression is a "live compression" feature.
We were experiencing ~15GB/month growth in our database prior to compression, but this figure doesnt seem to have changed much in the 2-3months that we have implemented in our production environments.
Do you mean that your DB size still increases ~15GB per month overall or just the index segments? Depending on the segment type growth - maybe indexes are only a small part of your system at all.
If you have enabled compression and perform a reorg of them, you can run into one-time effects like 50/50 block splits due to fully packed blocks, etc. It also depends on the way the data is inserted/updated and which indexes are compressed.

Ensure that all database components/objects provided by Oracle are VALID

Hi Guys
need some clarification concern the below point from -> 1503653.1
Ensure that all database components/objects provided by Oracle are VALID in the source database prior to starting the upgrade.
Ensure that you do not have duplicate objects in the SYS and SYSTEM schema.
Question 1:
what do you really mean by all the database components/ objects provided by oracle are Valid?
does the below object consider an Oracle object? I got to know this objects is invalid after after running -> dbupgdiag.sql
SQLTXADMIN   SYNONYM        1
Question 2:
if my user application objects is invalid? Can i still be able to forward with the upgrade?
It seem that the main concern is those ORACLE's component/ objects have to be VALID.

hi all,
want to add on.
does ORACLE's component means objects own by SYS and SYSTEM?
like the below objects that is spool out by the script -> dbupgdiag.sql
that it is in invalid status.
SYS          USER_AUDIT_TRAIL                         VIEW
SYS          DBA_AUDIT_SESSION                      VIEW

As you can see at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/jdbc817-100207.html the problem here is that the drivers for these old versions of the database work with old versions of the JDK too (1.1, 1.2). Weblogic 10g works with JDK 1.5+ (even I would suggest 1.6+), so they have no compatibility at JDBC driver level, thus that's why you see 9i and later as supported only. So unfortunately, I am afraid that this 8.1.7 database with Weblogic 10.3.4 mix cannot be done, and you should consider moving to a newer database version, which in fact will contain a lot of enhancements that your current db installation does not have.

ISQLPlus and Oracle HTTP Server

After I reinstalled Oracle 9i on Windows XP, I now get a a FastCGI server error whenever I attempt to launch Oracle HTTP Server: "Redefinition of previously defined FastCGI Server". How do I correct this? I uninstalled the database prior to reinstalling. Question 2: I also installed Oracle 9i on Windows 98 and Oracle HTTP Server appears NOT to be part of the install so I don't know how to make iSQLPlus work. Any ideas on either of these? I would prefer to work on Windows XP.

In answer to your first question, it may be answered in this SQL*Plus FAQ entry:
http://otn.oracle.com/support/tech/sql_plus/htdocs/runtime.html#isql_duplicate_entries
In answer to your second question, I don't think iSQL*Plus is part of the Windows 98 install. I don't think you even have a database, just the Oracle Client.

11gr2 De-Install 11gr2 auto exit in silent mode

Hi All,
I am able to uninstall Oracle 11gr2 successfully with the silent mode. But it does not exits the deinstall command prompt after completion, I have to manually type Exit command. What I want is without any user intervention it should exit automatically after completion. I am using the following command to call deinstall:
"\Oracle\deinstall\deinstall.bat -silent" . Also i have edited the deinstall.rsp.tmpl.
Any suggestions will be helpful.
Thanks

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

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!

Database creation process hangs

I am manually creating a database on Windows 2k3 server using Oracle 11 r2. Using the Database Configuration Assistant to create a database, the process hangs for hours.
I figured out and triedthe following:
1. I have attempted using the GUI tool more than once to create the database and each time it hangs.
2. Using the scripts have been created using the with configuration tool, I manually attemped to create database. -- I have attempted more than once.
3. The database creation process hangs while running the EXECRM.SQL file that is called by the CATPCNFG.SQL which is called by CATPROC.SQL which is called by CreateDBCatalog.sql
3. The EXECRM.SQL file hangs on the following statement EXECUTE DMBS_RMIN.INSTALL;
I'm not sure why the PL/SQL packag is hanging at this point. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sheila

I was able to create the databases prior to installing Enterprise Manager Grid control. I deleted the databases to re-create so they would be registered with Enterprise manager. Once I install Enterprise manager the creation process hung. I have also installed Essbase and Oracle/Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Suite on the server. I'm trying to do some research on these BI tools.
I'm tempted to uninstall Essbase and the Hyperion producst along with Enteprise Manager and start from scratch to test to see if I can create a database without these other products.

WAY TO IMPORT DATA FROM 11G DATABASE TO 10G DATABASE?

Hi All,
I have a requirement to take an full export dump of an Oracle database and import it fully to a 10g database.
I have never touched 11G until now and would like to know whether the 11G expdp will be downward
compatible so that I can use the dump file(created by 11G expdp) to import it to 10G(using 10d impdp).
Or if it is not possible, can you please brief me the steps I should follow here?
Note: I have only 11G installed in this server.
Regards
Satish

Oracle's Data Pump (expdp) utility has a VERSION parameter. Here is an excerpt from the documentation:
VERSION
Default: COMPATIBLE
Purpose
Specifies the version of database objects to be exported. This can be used to create a dump file set that is compatible with a previous release of Oracle Database. Note that this does not mean that Data Pump Export can be used with versions of Oracle Database prior to 10.1. Data Pump Export only works with Oracle Database 10g release 1 (10.1) or later. The VERSION parameter simply allows you to identify the version of the objects being exported.
Syntax and Description
VERSION={COMPATIBLE | LATEST | version_string}
The legal values for the VERSION parameter are as follows:
    * COMPATIBLE - This is the default value. The version of the metadata corresponds to the database compatibility level. Database compatibility must be set to 9.2 or higher.
    * LATEST - The version of the metadata corresponds to the database version.
    * version_string - A specific database version (for example, 11.1.0). In Oracle Database 11g, this value cannot be lower than 9.2.
Database objects or attributes that are incompatible with the specified version will not be exported. For example, tables containing new datatypes that are not supported in the specified version will not be exported.
Here is a link to the documentation.
Hope this helps!

Standby database Archive log destination confusion

Hi All,
I need your help here..
This is the first time that this situation is arising. We had sync issues in the oracle 10g standby database prior to this archive log destination confusion.So we rebuilt the standby to overcome this sync issue. But ever since then the archive logs in the standby database are moving to two different locations.
The spfile entries are provided below:
*.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/m99/oradata/MARDB/archive/'
*.standby_archive_dest='/m99/oradata/MARDB/standby'
Prior to rebuilding the standby databases the archive logs were moving to /m99/oradata/MARDB/archive/ location which is the correct location. But now the archive logs are moving to both /m99/oradata/MARDB/archive/ and /m99/oradata/MARDB/standby location, with the majority of them moving to /m99/oradata/MARDB/standby location. This is pretty unusual.
The archives in the production are moving to /m99/oradata/MARDB/archive/ location itself.
Could you kindly help me overcome this issue.
Regards,
Dan

Hi Anurag,
Thank you for update.
Prior to rebuilding the standby database the standby_archive_dest was set as it is. No modifications were made to the archive destination locations.
The primary and standby databases are on different servers and dataguard is used to transfer the files.
I wanted to highlight one more point here, The archive locations are similar to the ones i mentioned for the other stndby databases. But the archive logs are moving only to /archive location and not to the /standby location.

Ora-1666 on standby database

Hi All,
I have configured data guard on windows server 2003 platform with primary on 1 server and standby on another server. Oracle is of version 9i with exact release 9.2.0.6.0. I have enabled archived log on primary, modified init file with log_destinations, created password file, created control file and copied all these dbf files, redo log files, archived log files, control file, password files to standby server while the primary db is down. After copying all the required files on standby i tried to mount the standby but getting an error as ORA-01666: controlfile is for a standby database on the standby.
Where as in the primary db alert log file an error is logged as Errors in file d:\oracle\admin\primary\bdump\primary_arc0_4240.trc: ORA-12500: TNS:listener failed to start a dedicated server process but i can do tnsping successfully from primary to standby and vice-versa and on standby ORA-1666 signalled during: ALTER DATABASE MOUNT...
The things I suspect are Standby redo logs, Instance_name. I haven't created any standby logs on primary and i doubt whether it's mandatory to create on primary and standby db's or only in primary db pls let me know, i am confused of the standby logs because of these lines in document +(CREATE STANDBY REDO LOG FILES, IF NECESSARY (PRI+SEC)
In this customer’s case, the customer chose not to use standby redo logs (SRLs), which are not required in Maximum Performance mode. However, if you decide to use SRLs, you would create them on both sites. You cannot create them on the primary database prior to the backup used to create the standby database because the SRLs on the standby must be empty of primary database redo data.)+.
Instance_name parameter: we don't have this parameter in oracle10g where db_name and db_unique_name plays the role. Here in oracle9i is this Instance_name needs to be same on both primary and standby db's (i.e. primary on both db's or primary for primary and standby for standby?)
Earlier i have configured this dataguard setup in solaris platform of oracle version 10g where i have created standby logs on primary db alone and logs are applying on standby and it's working fine.
* please review the below parameters and let me know if i am missing something*

10g export to 9i database

Hi all
Can i import 10g (10.2.0.3) export to 9i database.
i execute import command in 9i database.
Please help as soon as posible.
regrds
upul

There are compatibility issues you should consider prior to attempt this export/import operation. If you took the export with the 10g export tool it won't be possible to be imported to any database prior to 10gR2, you are required to export from the 10gR2 DB with 9i export and import this data to the 9i Database with the 9i import tool.
For further references I suggest you to take a look at the Metalink Note:
Compatibility Matrix for Export & Import Between Different Oracle Versions

Restoring only the tablespace from the database

How do we restore only a 'tablespace' from a Terabyte database without restoring the entire database.
ie... if a particular tablespace has been dropped from the database and we have the backup available for the database.
So, how do we go about it for restoring only that tablespace.
Version:10.2.0.4
OS : solaris 10

If you have a RMAN backup before dropping the tablespace then we can restore the tablespace by below method
It is a tablespace point in time recovery ,here we need to create a auxillary DB.
Recover a table/tablespace from Rman backup on same server:
===============================================
Here we have to create the auxillary database.
1.u should have valid backup of the database before dropping the tablespace.
2.create the password file of target database.
orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME\dbs\PWDORCL2.ORA password=oracle
3.Take backup of the control file to trace for creating the new control file for new
auxillary database/
SQL> alter database backup controlfile to trace;
sample control file:
STARTUP NOMOUNT
CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "aux1" RESETLOGS FORCE LOGGING ARCHIVELOG
MAXLOGFILES 16
MAXLOGMEMBERS 3
MAXDATAFILES 100
MAXINSTANCES 8
MAXLOGHISTORY 454
LOGFILE
GROUP 1 'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\ORADATA\aux1\REDO01.LOG' SIZE 10M,//make sure here to change the location of of redo
GROUP 2 'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\ORADATA\aux1\REDO02.LOG' SIZE 10M, logs to new location or change the location name before
GROUP 3 'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\ORADATA\aux1\REDO03.LOG' SIZE 10M //starating the database at the end.
-- STANDBY LOGFILE
DATAFILE
'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\ORADATA\prafulla\SYSTEM01.DBF',
'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\ORADATA\prafulla\UNDOTBS01.DBF',
'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\ORADATA\prafulla\SYSAUX01.DBF',
'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\ORADATA\prafulla\USERS01.DBF',
'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\ORADATA\prafulla\USERS02.DBF'
CHARACTER SET WE8MSWIN1252
4.create the password file of auxillary database.
orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME\dbs\PWDORCL2.ORA password=oracle
5.create the control file
sqlplus "/as sysdba"
SQL>@create.sql
6 catalog all the backuppiece to the newly created database;
catalog backuppiece 'D:\oracle\product\10.1.0\LOG_707656915_50P1';
7.We have to restore system,sysaux,undo and the tablespace which was dropped
run
set newname for datafile 1 to 'D:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\aux1\system01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 2 to 'D:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\aux1\undotbs01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 5 to 'D:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\aux1\users02.dbf';
set newname for datafile 3 to 'D:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\aux1\sysaux01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 4 to 'D:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\aux1\users01.dbf';
restore tablespace SYSTEM;
restore tablespace UNDOTBS1;
restore tablespace users;
restore tablespace sysaux;
switch datafile all;
8.Take the other tablespace offline
sqlplus>alter tablespace tablespace_name offline drop;
9.recover the database prior to the time when tha table/tablespace was dropped.
RMAN> run{
2> set until time "to_date('07-01-2010 14:00:00','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')";
3> recover database;
4> }
10.open the database in resetlog mode.
take a transpotable tablespace backup of that tablespace and import it on the database where you dropped it.

Flashback database and Physical Standby databases

Hi,
We are thinking about the following scenario in our Production Standby databases. We are trying to do this to avoid number database cloning situations.
When we require live data to test data fixes :-
1. Switchover/failover the standby database.
2. opened this database in read write mode.
3. Apply the fix and test.
4. Flashing back the database prior to the SCN which did the switchover/failover.
5. Activate the standby again using a new standby controlfile.
Would you experts please comment on this idea?
Is this is possible? If so, would you please guide through the steps/some documentation.
Thanks in advance

This will not work according to me,
1)U can give previous SCN in rollback and gets the data till that SCN, but it will not become standby unless u make it a standby again manually by creating standy controlfile etc(may be this will be succesfull and limited up to check the data fixes).
2)Iif your first step succesfull then what about the fixes u test by applying patches using opatch and patchsets that cannot be rollbacked using flashback because they are copying new version files and adding some more configuration files to oracle home?.
There are lots of pitfalls and loop holes needed to be checked

Check for duplicate record in SQL database before doing INSERT

Hey guys,
This is part powershell app doing a SQL insert. BUt my question really relates to the SQL insert. I need to do a check of the database PRIOR to doing the insert to check for duplicate records and if it exists then that record needs
to be overwritten. I'm not sure how to accomplish this task. My back end is a SQL 2000 Server. I'm piping the data into my insert statement from a powershell FileSystemWatcher app. In my scenario here if the file dumped into a directory starts with I it gets
written to a SQL database otherwise it gets written to an Access Table. I know silly, but thats the environment im in. haha.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
Rich T.

Hi
Since SQL Server 2000 has been out of support, I recommend you to upgrade the SQL Server 2000 to a higher version, such as SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008.
According to your description, you can try the following methods to check duplicate record in SQL Server.
1. You can use
RAISERROR to check the duplicate record, if exists then RAISERROR unless insert accordingly, code block is given below:
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM TableName AS t
WHERE t.Column1 = @ Column1
AND t.Column2 = @ Column2)
BEGIN
RAISERROR(‘Duplicate records’,18,1)
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO TableName (Column1, Column2, Column3)
SELECT @ Column1, @ Column2, @ Column3
END
2. Also you can create UNIQUE INDEX or UNIQUE CONSTRAINT on the column of a table, when you try to INSERT a value that conflicts with the INDEX/CONSTRAINT, an exception will be thrown.
Add the unique index:
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX Unique_Index_name ON TableName(ColumnName)
Add the unique constraint:
ALTER TABLE TableName
ADD CONSTRAINT Unique_Contraint_Name
UNIQUE (ColumnName)
Thanks

Install oracle database prior to installing oracleAS ?
