Interface screen to Oracle database

We are using oracle10g database. Customers calls ops team and ask about their security questions.
Every time, we need to run the sql query and find answers for them. We are getting lot of request
every day. I wanted to develop interface and i want ops team use the interface to pull the data.
Here are my thoughts...
1. using oracle APEX to develop interface.
2. Use the excel to write macro and get the answers for user request.
3. I can write a PLSQL to run the batch job and extract the data into excel and give it to ops team.
Please share if you have any other options...

You may consider Oracle SQL Developer for that purpose.
(http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/index.html)
But I don't like to use this tool in your production environment, so please ensure the user only has privileges that they need (e.g. SELECT on table and not DELETE, etc).

What's the best option for event generation from an Oracle database?

Hi all,
I need to interface from an oracle database into WLI (or elink if need be). The
code that needs to call this interface is written in pl/sql in the database.
What is the best way to enable the pl/sql to make a call to WLI?
I know you can set up an event trigger on a table using the sample DBMS adapter
so that it will send info to WLI via the events table in the database but this
is what they call a pull event(i.e. the adapter is actually polling this table
for whenever an event gets put into it I think).
Has anyone ever done a push type event? (e.g. calling java code from pl/sql that
sends event to WLI)
Or anyone know whether the new JCA for Oracle Applications will help with this?
I am using Oracle 8.1.7 so don't have any extras with Oracle Apps.
thanks all

Adam,
I have not implemented an push event adapter with Oracle. However, I
know the trend that seems to be happening in the industry and I can say
I agree 100% with it's implementation. I am seeing vendors using
Oracle's Advanced queuing features to push events out to other
applications. One interface for AQ is PL/SQL using DBMS_AQ, DBMS_AQADM,
and DBMS_AQELM packages, so you would not have to rewrite your current
business logic. Although I have not done the leg work, logically, this
would be the approach I would take if tasked to implement an Oracle
event adapter.
For more information register (free) for an account on Oracle Technology
Network (OTN), then go to the following URL:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/appdev.920/a96587/toc.htm
Note: (the url goes to Oracle9i, as I couldn't find the link to 8i, but
8i AQ in will work just as well)
Cheers,
Chris

Want to see on screen data from oracle database using php

I am struggling on the problem of echoing data from Oracle database (9i) to the screen for viewing. For ex. the data has records from various cities. when a particular city is inputted as prompt, all the records for the that city from the table should appear through PHP. Can someone help me?

Thank you very much for giving the link. I tried and it is working. Only, I am still struggling with trying to get many fields from the database on the screen for viewing. Ex. a prompt to ask which country and which month. If I give India and December it must give all the data pertaining to India for December. This AJAX was very useful, as it gave lot of tips, but my basic query to see the data thru PHP from my database is still unsolved. Any help??

Thanks once again for the help.

How to take Input from the callers telephone keypad into oracle database

My client requires to automate a registration task for his customers by telephone. The requirement is the Oracle database should take numeric input from the callers telephone keypad eg 1 or 2 or 3 and the oracle must store this input inside its database and do some required processing with such input and generate a unique numeric id (sequence) and send back this unique numeric ID to the caller who is on hold. Please Note. Is there any electronic device to be installed at the client site to solve the above task eg. any telephone line to be connected to the CPU and etc?
I completely have zero knowledge. Please can you outline/summarise the instructions how to construct and install to meet my client requirement.
If this is not possible in Oracle I Can migrate to any database. Please suggest.
please help me. if you cant help i appretiate if you give me some clues

You need to start with your telephone system. Normally this situation would involve some sort of PBX or other internal switching equipment. Talk to your vendor. There's likely to be software, etc. available to perform the interaction with the end user.
It should have programmable "hooks" to interface with various databases. To Oracle it just looks like another program.

How to extract data from essbase to oracle database incrementally?

I have to extract data from essbase to an oracle database table incrementally using informatica , can anyone tell me how to do it or give me some tips. I have been thinking about it for a whole day but have no ideas.
I cannot do the delete & insert method because this oracle database table is a interface table that has to deliver the data to Oracle ESB tables.
Thanks in advance....

Check "Problem: Oracle Database 10g Release 2 can only be installed in new

Hi All
Installing 10g software on AIX Box in /oracle/oraHome2,where oracle9i is already installed in /oracle/oraHome1 and oracle inventory is in /oracle/inventory
In product specific prerequisite screen I am getting the
check:Oracle Home incompatibilties is failed I am getting the error
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Passed
=======================================================================
Checking for Oracle Home incompatibilities ....
Actual Result: Oracle9i Database 9.2.0.1.0
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
Problem: Oracle Database 10g Release 2 can only be installed in a new Oracle Home
Recommendation: Choose a new Oracle Home for installing this product
though I am installing it in different oracle homes why i am getting this error?
Is it because 10g installation is picking the same oracle inventory /oracle/inventory
do i need to make different oracle inventory for different oracle homes???????plz confirm..is thats the reason i am getting this error??????
Thanks inadvance
Gagan

I figure out you are trying to install 10gR2 on top of an existing 9iR2 Oracle Home. This is corrected at the Path definition window. Most probably you just click on the <Next> and by default the 9iR2 Oracle Home was selected. You must define a new oracle home for the 10gR2 install.

Hi,
I have the same problem but, how can i know what my SID is ? i am trying with "ORCL" and it doesnt work.
Do you know in which file i can get it ? in the documentation of the installation i found this:
"If you are not sure of the values to enter for the URL, then you can query the data dictionary to obtain these values.
Connect as SYSTEM and run the following queries.
To retrieve the SID, execute: select instance_name from v$instance;
If you need to retrieve the port number, check the listener.ora file on the
back-end database."
But how can i query the database if i have not finished to install it yet and where is located the listener.ora file ?
I hope you can help me.
Thank you.

Flat file to Oracle Database - Invalid Month

Hi All
I am New to XI and trying to create a simple interface between Legacy system (flat file) and Oracle database.
I have some date fields in the Oracle table.
When i run the interface it says "invalid month" with some SQL exception number.
I am using (mm/dd/yyyy) format for the date.
Is there any conversion i need to do. I am using XML SQL format for Oracle database.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Nagakishore

Hello,
Oracle is very picky with the way date is stored. Assume that you have a field datefield that you need to save. In mapping add an attribute hasqQuote and set it to "NO". When mapping the value to the node use to_date as shown below.
<DateField hasQuot="No">
TO_DATE("2004-07-20", "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss")</DateField>

Installation error message for Oracle Database software for version 10g

Would someone be able to advise why I keep getting the following error message whilst installing Oracle trial Database software for version 10g Release 2 Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition? Link listed below : -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html
Error message "Cannot create directory"C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_7\cfgtoollogs\dbca\projemp"
Below is the 12 steps that I go through, please advise what I'm doing wrong : -
1. (Operations) default is Create a database
2. (Database templetes) default is general purpose
3. (Database Identification) projemp.local for Global database name & projemp for SID
4. (Management options) default is "Configure the database with Enterprise manager, also the options button has been clicked for "Use database control for database management"
5. (Database Credentials) the options button has been clicked for "Use the same password for all accounts" so I've set up a new password, was that correct?
6. (Storage options) the options button is clicked for "File System - use the file system for database storage.
7. (Database file locations) the options button is clicked for "Use database file locations for template" Is this option correct? Other options are Use common location for all database files or use Oracle-managed files?
8. (Recovery configuration) the options button is clicked for "Specify flash recovery area
9. (Database content) nothing has been selected, the only option is "Sample schemas" should that be clicked?
10. (Initialization parameters) the options button is clicked for "Typical- allocate memory as a % of the total physical memory
11. (Database storage) no options available
12. (Creation options) the options button has been selected for "Create Database"
Click finish
I then get a screen stating General purpose, click OK then I get the following error message as stated at the start of this e-mail ""Cannot create directory"C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_7\cfgtoollogs\dbca\projemp".

I've removed the software from my computer using control panel, programs & features then uninstall once but the other five times the software hasn't been listed.

Database Configuration Assistant does not remove software. It can remove a database. As I mentioned before, there is a difference between the software and the objects that software manages. Deleting an Excel spreadsheet is not the same as deleting Microsoft Office. Deleting an Oracle database with Database configuration assistant is not the same as removing the Oracle software.

Now that oracle is not on my task bar I've unzipped the link below, clicked on db, Disk1, setup, changed the Database password (is that correct?) install and I get the following error message "Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed<<<<<
Problem: The install has detected that the primary IP address of the system is DHCP-assigned.
Recommendation: Oracle supports installations on systems with DHCP-assigned IP addresses;
However, before you can do this, you must configure the Microsoft LoopBack Adaptor to be the primary network adapter on the system. See the installation Guide for more details on installing the software on systems configured with DHCP."
So what did you do with the above error message? Did you follow up on what it said? Did you read the very fine Installation Guide that comes with the software? Did you read the section on networking considerations where it discussed DHCP assigned addresses and installing the loopback adapter?
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html
Ok, that link takes us to the download page, which does not shed any light at all on your problems
I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium, 32 bit operating system, and my computer is saying I have 142 GB free space.
If you read the installation manual that came with the downloaded software, you'd have seen in the prerequisites that Home editions of Windows are NOT listed as supported platforms, whereas Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions specifically ARE listed as supportd.
Hope this is some help.And
I'm not to clever on computers so would you be able to advise how I get to the command window to issue the SET command please?
Also I've no idea what OS user I am, I'm taking an on-line Oracle course and been advised to install "Oracle Database software for version 10g Release 2 Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition"
How do I find out if I'm part of an Administrator, ORA_DBA group ?
Can you walk me through how to create the directory from command line please?Ok, given the above statements from you, I'm not even sure where to begin. I don't want to be cruel, but this self-admitted lack of even the most rudimentary knowledge by someone attempting to learn about Oracle is truly astounding. What course are you taking? Why are you taking this course?

Performance problems loading an XML file into oracle database

Hello ODI Guru's,
I am trying to load and XML file into the database after doing simple business validations. But the interface takes hours to complete.
1. The XML files are large in size >200 Mb. We have an XSD file for the schema definition instead of a DTD.
2. We used the external database feature for loading these files in database.
The following configuration was used in the XML Data Server:
jdbc:snps:xml?f=D:\CustomerMasterData1\CustomerMasterInitialLoad1.xml&d=D:\CustomerMasterData1\CustomerMasterInitialLoad1.xsd&re=initialLoad&s=CM&db_props=oracle&ro=true
3. Now we reverse engineer the XML files and created models using ODI Designer
4. Similar thing was done for the target i.e. an Oracle database table as well.
5. Next we created a simple interface with one-to-one mapping from the XSD schema to the Oracle database table and executed the interface. This execution takes more than one hour to complete.
6. We are running ODI client on Windows XP Professional SP2.
7. The Oracle database server(Oracle 10g 10.2.0.3) for the target schema as well as the ODI master and work repositories are on the same machine.
8. I tried changing the following properties but it is not making much visible difference:
use_prepared_statements=Y
use_batch_update=Y
batch_update_size=510
commit_periodically=Y
num_inserts_before_commit=30000
I have another problem that when I set batch_update_size to value greater that 510 I get the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: class org.xml.sax.SAXException
class java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException said -32413
at com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.xml.v.a(v.java)
The main concern is why should the interface taking so long to execute.
Please send suggestions to resolve the problem.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Nikunj

Approximately how many rows are you trying to insert?
One of the techniques which I found improved performance for this scenario was to extract from the xml to a flat file, then to use SQL*LOADER or external tables to load the data into Oracle.

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.

Uploading data to an Oracle Database

Hi there,
We have an Oracle database and an application for data entry, etc. Some of my users do not want to use the data entry forms but would like to send us files either in text/xml to upload into our system. I have previously used text_id to parse text files and load them into a database, but am wondering if there is a better way of doing this either through web services, xml parsing, etc. If you've solved a similar problem using newer technologies, I would greatly appreciate your input.
Thanks.
Azeem.

Hi Michel,
Thank you so much for replying to my query. I have used SQL Loader in the past but since this is going to be an ongoing data transfer (load), I wanted to experiment with something new such as web services or XML. I think my users use XML and have expressed an interest in sending me XML files, that I would like to automatically load into the system. I'm not sure if I should provide them a forms interface to read their files, parse the data, and then upload it, and give them a bad file, or if I should look at something else.
Thanks.
Azeem.

Problems accessing tables in oracle database with ejb entity bean

I have created a simple server application that uses an entity bean (version 2.0) for an existing table in oracle database, and a session bean that is used as an outside interface for performing operations on that table.
after deploying the server and client application the client attempts to perform an operation with the session bean remote interface it obtained.
The session bean uses a locale interface to communicate with the entity bean, but when it tries to use its methods (create, findByXXX) it always get the following Exception: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist.
the table of course exists, and the username password I'm using has all the permissions needed for this table.
note - I'm using the Forte enterprise edition 4.0 as developer tool.
I'll be glad to get some help.
Here is the full stack trace of the exception:

Well it seems like the problems has a simple explanation. The Forte assigns a default table name (<entityName>EJBTable) when creating an entity bean from an existsing table in DB (which is not the same as the one it was created from !!!). Also, for reason unknown, when you deploy these entity beans, it doesn't even create the new table under its new name (even if instructed to).
So using the Forte we managed to use successfuly only entity beans that were created "from scretch" (when deployed their tables are created).
Does anyone know how to change the default name the Forte uses, and make it work properly with entity beans created from an existsing table (without going over the xml's) ?
