Oracle Book for experienced SQL Server developer

Hi everyone
I'm looking for suggestions for a book to start with Oracle database development. Though, I'm not looking for a beginner book that starts with explaining what tables, views and procedures are.
I'm doing database development on MS SQL Server since 12 years. I also know things like relational algebra, no-cursors and other general database guidelines.
What do you think about one of those books?
Oracle Essentials: Oracle Database 11g: http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Essentials-Database-11g/dp/0596514549/
Oracle PL/SQL Programming: Covers Versions Through Oracle Database 11g Release 2: http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-PL-SQL-Programming-Versions/dp/0596514468/
Any suggestions would be great. :-)
Thanks in advance
Flo
BTW: I'm not looking for free web resources, I'm looking for a paperback.

Hi and welcome to the forums.
What do you think about one of those books?
Oracle Essentials: Oracle Database 11g: http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Essentials-Database-11g/dp/0596514549/
Just download the Concepts manual. I was disappointed with my purchase.
Oracle PL/SQL Programming: Covers Versions Through Oracle Database 11g Release 2: http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-PL-SQL-Programming-Versions/dp/0596514468/
The "bible" of PL/SQL is by Steve Fueurstein. Get it.
Any suggestions would be great. :-)Toim Kyte's books will explain the "philosophy" of Oracle- youi can comapre it to
your SQL Server knowledge. Start with these and the Concepts manual.
These forums are a great resource if you're not sure of something.
Read the FAQ.
HTH and good luck :)

Need query tool for new SQL users

We have testers that need to see DB data. Not all of them are well versed in SQL. At the moment, we are looking at creating reports for them in Discoverer and allowing them to create their own workbooks, however, I am not sure if this is the route that we want to go. Would any one recommend SQL Developer in this situation, or do you need to be well versed in SQL in order to use it?
Cheers
K

Well, in my knowledge, there's still no magical datamining tool. The more complex information you require, the more knowledge you need to be able to get it.
Or you make your users all reports they need, or they learn SQL.
Maybe sqldev isn't so bad; you could provide them like template reports, which they can then modify if needed. But bear in mind that poorly written queries at the end will return them wrong data and clog the database...
Have fun,
K.

Running XP_SubDirs for normal SQL users

I have a requirement where a normal SQL Autheticated user wants to run xp_subdirs.The user is simply a db_reader , db_writer on user database.
Could you advice how is it achievable ?
Please Vote & "Mark As Answer" if this post is helpful to you. Cheers Prakash Nandwana Bangalore , India

Most likely this falls under the same rules as normal security handling in SQL Server. I.e., create a user for the person in question (for the login) in the master database and grant EXEC permissions to this xp to the user you just created.

Need documents for the SQL profiler.

Hi All,
Can any one send me the documentation for the following ,
1. SQL Profiler.
2. Oracle Enterprise Manager.
- Actually i've been moved to work on Oracle database now. So here we are handling the Fine Tuning of SQL queries.
- Help with complete material and best way to Tune the queries.
- What are the steps to follwo while Tuning the queries.
- Are there any tools to tune automatically.
Here we are using Oracle 10g, TOAD 8.6.1 version...
I am a developer since i don't have any ADMIN priviliges to install all the products. We are using Oracle 10g Client.
Regards,
Arjun.

Information about the profiler is in the "Using the PL/SQL Hierarchical Profiler" chapter of the Oracle Database Advanced Application Developer's Guide. (It's Chapter 8 in the Oracle Database Release 11.2 version of that manual.)
In the Oracle Database Release 10.2 documentation library, there's some information about "Using The Profiler API: Package DBMS_PROFILER" in Chapter 11 ("Tuning PL/SQL Applications for Performance") of the Oracle Database PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference manual, which also refers to the DBMS_PROFILER reference chapter in the Oracle Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference manual.

suresh.m2015,
It's going to be impossible for anyone in this forum to help with your issue if you don't provide any more detail about your environment and Apex installation. However, from your post it looks like the Apex database objects are missing or invalid.
Did you follow the Apex installation guide step by step? For example, did you run apexins.sql?
It's important to follow the documentation. The script you are running to change the admin user password should not be run until after the Apex installation is complete.

SQL Server to Oracle Converted Model missing users

I am doing a migration from SQL Server to Oracle with about 100 users. The captured model seems to be correct and all of the users are there. But, when creating the Oracle Converted Model, not all of the users are being converted. On the first attempt, the Converted Model had only 21 users, and on the next attempt, the Converted Model only had 16 users. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Oracle Database XE does not allow more than one instance per server.
To define a primary key correct syntax is:
Create table summary(
Field NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
Or:
PRIMARY KEY constraint tabla_PK (field)
To generate the value of the primary key you must create a sequence before or after creating the table:
Create Sequence summary_seq
Start with 1
Increment by 1
Nocycle;
You can use the sequence in INSERT INTO or through a trigger:
With Insert Into:
Insert into Summary
Values (summary_seq.nextval, valkor1, value2 ,...);
With a trigger:
Create or replace Trigger BI_summary
Before Insert on SUMMARY
For each row
Begin
Select summary_seq.nextval into campoPK
From dual;
End;

Converter program for MS SQL Server to Oracle

My problem with converting MS SQL Server queries in a SQL Pass-thru is becoming critical at my job.
I am hoping there is an easy converter tool that will let a user take SQL Server statements and feed them into a converter that outputs Oracle SQL.
Does such a program conversion tool exist?
I bet not, right?

Your bet is right as SQL-Server's SQL implementation is not the same as Oracle's SQL implementation. There are numerous differences. Translating one to the other is not a 1:1 keyword swap.
And when these SQL statements involve locking and concurrency, there are also significant differences in core database functionality between SQL-Server and Oracle.
What exactly is the problem you are facing? SQL-Passthru is specifically designed as a SQL interface that does not touch and change (and muck up) a SQL being passed to a remote database - so the actual raw SQL text being send is what arrives at the server end. Allowing you to, for example, use Oracle's SQL dialect inside SQL-Server to talk to a remote Oracle database - without SQL-Server throwing errors about Oracle dialect being used. Oracle has a similar passthru option.
Why is this not working? Or is the issue something else?

SQL User Defined Functions for performing statistical calculations

Hi!
   I hope you can help. I just wasn’t sure where to go with this question, so I’m hoping you can at least point me in the right direction.
   I’m writing a SQL Server stored procedure that returns information for a facility-wide scorecard-type report. The row and columns are going to be displayed in a SQL Server Reporting Services report.
   Each row of information contains “Current Month” and “Previous Month” numbers and a variance column. Some rows may compare percentages, others whole numbers, others ratios, depending on the metric they’re measuring. For each row/metric the company has specified whether they want to see a t-test or a chi-squared statistical test to determine whether or not there was a statistically significant difference between the current month and the previous month.
   My question is this: Do you know where I can find a set of already-written user defined functions to perform statistical calculations beyond the basic ones provided in SQL Server 2005? I’m not using Analysis Services, so what I’m looking for are real SQL User Defined Functions where I can just pass my data to the function and have it return the result within a stored procedure.
   I’m aware that there may be some third-party statistical packages out there we could purchase, but that’s not what I’m looking for. And I’m not able to do anything like call Excel’s analysis pack functions from within my stored procedure. I’ve asked. They won’t let me do that.   I just need to perform the calculation within the stored procedure and return the result.
   Any suggestions? Is there a site where people are posting their SQL Server UDF’s to perform statistical functions? Or are you perhaps aware of something like a free add-in for SQL that will add statistical functions to those available in SQL? I just don’t want to have to write my own t-test function or my own chi-squared function if someone has already done it.
Thanks for your help in advance! Oh, and please let me know if this should have been posted in the TSQL forum instead.  I wasn't entirely sure.

How to install the Oracle ODBC driver for all NT users

I need to schedule a task on a SQL server running on NT to access an Oracle DB.
I have installed the Oracle ODBC driver on it and it is working well under my NT account.
But the SQL scheduler runs on another NT account and the task failed.
How is it possible to install the Oracle ODBC Driver for all NT users ???
Thanks for your inputs...

The above link is a comprehensive "How to get set up and on my way" that I made for someone else learning Oracle/jdbc. Kind of a self-help resource page. I would start from the beginning and download the newest drivers, then set up your environment,...etc.
hope this helped,

Query to return all SQL statements ran for a particular user.

Good Morning,
Is it possible to find all the SQL statements run for a particular user using the v$ views? I can do it it 10g however I am currently using 9i and the query below does not work.
select a.username,a.logon_time,b.sql_fulltext
from v$session a,v$sqlarea b
where a.sql_id=b.sql_id
and a.username='USER'
order by a.logon_time descI assume some columns in these views do not exist in 9i. The release of 9 I am using is 9.2.0.1.0.
You help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark.

Dear Mark!
I suggest you to use auditing instead of v$sqlarea. Oracle Onlinedocumentation says the following about v$sqlarea:
>
V$SQLAREA lists statistics on shared SQL area and contains one row per SQL string. It provides statistics on SQL statements that are in memory, parsed, and ready for execution.
>
That means that you'll get only those SQL-Statements that are currently in memory. Older statements which are already deleted from memory are not visible for your query.
By the way if you simply want to know what is wrong with your query then please post your errormessage.
Yours sincerely
Florian W.

Grants for non-apps user to view APIs in oracle application module browser

Hi,
Im trying to make a connection with E-Business Suite using the Oracle Applications Adapter and the Enterprise Service Bus. I follow all the steps for creating the connection pools, connection data sources and connection factories using the standar apps user. After setting up the environment I can drag the oracle applications adapter to a ESB project and choose from all the modules available the especific functionality I want.
The problem comes when I try to use a user different from apps. When I try to set the connection with other user no E-Business Suite modules are display in the Adapter wizard.
Are there any specific privileges I should set up to this database user (non-apps) to give him acces to API, XML Gateways, Tables/views,Business Events, etc??.

Could you let me know the procedure/steps to assign privileges and/or responsibilities for new oracle apps userI understand this is for an application user.
when I am trying to import a journalAgain, you have to run this as an application user.
Same import is working fine with default Oracle applications 11i "APPS" user.APPS is a database user (NOT an application user). So, the Application user you want to create and assign him responsibilities has nothing to do with the database user. If you assign the same responsibilities which the other user has (the one which you use to import journals) to the new application user, then you should be able to do the task successfully.

SQL tab not working in V2.1 EA1 for non-DBA users -- how to fix?

In v2.1 EA 1 the tab to show the SQL script (DDL) in the object browser is not working for non-DBA users. In the prior version, these users would see a message about DBMS_METADATA and then the message would indicate that an "internal generator" would be used to generate the DDL script. After that brief message the DDL would show up as expected. This doesn't seem to be the case in the newest version.
I issued the following two grants to a particular user which worked, but I am reluctant to issue the grants to "PUBLIC".
SQL> grant execute on DBMS_METADATA to XXXXX;
SQL> grant select_catalog_role to XXXXX;
So, my questions are:
1) Will the old functionality (that didn't require these privileges) be added to V2 at some point?
2) What security implications are there for issueing the above grants to PUBLIC?
NOTE: After granting execute on the DBMS_METADATA package, it still didn't work. I left that grant in place and granted SELECT_CATAOG_ROLE, so I can't say for sure that the 1st grant was required.

An OEM account is separate from the database account. You need to use OEM UI to create an OEM account, however, for certain tasks to be done in the databases which OEM is monitoring they will also require separate database accounts within those databases. For example, to view the performance tab in OEM UI, a database account is required.
OEM only has two types of users, i.e. Super Administrator and Administrator, but don't go by the names. You can grant an OEM 'Administrator' account access to specific targets and what they can do within OEM, such as only viewing reports, targets, and so on. For access within a database, the user created need not be a DBA either.
I hope you understand.

Oracle client 9i doesn't work for windows ordinary user

Hello All,
I've installed oracle 9i client on windows xp. Client software works for user belonging to windows administrators group. it doesn't works for ordinary users not belonging to administrators group. Particularly when i run sqlplus from command line i get following error :
Incorrect environment variable PLUS_DFLT
Program execution error.
i also need access to Oracle ODBC driver.
When i try to configure ODBC source (created by user with administrator privileges) by common user i get following errors :
The setup routines for Oracle for Oracle in OraHome9i ODBC driver couldn't be loaded due to system error code 5
Could not load the setup or translator library
Very appreciate for any help.
Regards Arkadiusz Masny

It sounds like the users on the machine do not have access to the Oracle home directory. Check the permissions of the folder by right properties, select the user and check that they have read and then select advanced. Tick the "replace permission entries....." box and apply. This will re apply all user rights in all folders and subfolders. Try again.
