Is Database Sync. only for Oracle?

The subject question might be too simple for most of you, but just would like to comfirm.
If I were to sync. with a MS SQL Server, I would have to export to a CSV file and use a Universal Connector. Is that the right way?
Thanks a lot.

Hello, there's no official support for Oracle 9.x in Meta-Directory 5.1
HOWEVER, Oracle claim that the OCI client that comes with 817 is compatible with Oracle 9.2
We have tried this in our labs and it appears to work just fine. One catch is the SQL scripts that the console creates require modification. the errors are fairly obvious if you execute the sql script line by line using SQL*Plus that comes with 9i. Basically there's a different rollback segment strategy that's default enabled in 9.2 so the meta scripts try and create a manual rollback segment.
We have customers who have deployed Meta 5.0/5.1 with Oracle 9.2, you need to check with your Support Representive/Sales to officially deploy this scenario.

"In-Memory Database Cache" option for Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition

Hi,
In one of our applications, we are using TimesTen 5.1.24 and Oracle 9i
databases (platform - Solaris 9i).
TimesTen holds application information which needs to be accessed quickly
and Oracle 9i is a master application database.
Now we are looking at an option of migrating from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g
database. While exploring about Oracle 10g features, came to know about
"In-Memory Database Cache" option for Oracle Enterprise Edition. This made
me to think about using Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition with "In-Memory
Database Cache" option for our application.
Following are the advantages that I could visualize by adopting the
above-mentioned approach:
1. Data reconciliation between Oracle and TimesTen is not required (i.e.
data can be maintained only in Oracle tables and for caching "In-Memory
Database Cache" can be used)
2. Data maintenance is easy and gives one view access to data
I have following queries regarding the above-mentioned solution:
1. What is the difference between "TimesTen In-Memory Database" and
"In-Memory Database Cache" in terms of features and licensing model?
2. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option integrated with Oracle 10g
installable or a separate installable (i.e. TimesTen installable with only
cache feature)?
3. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option same as that of "TimesTen Cache
Connect to Oracle" option in TimesTen In-Memory Database?
4. After integrating "In-Memory Database Cache" option with Oracle 10g, data
access will happen only through Oracle sqlplus or OCI calls. Am I right here
in making this statement?
5. Is it possible to cache the result set of a join query in "In-Memory
Database Cache"?
In "Options and Packs" chapter in Oracle documentation
(http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/options.htm
#CIHJJBGA), I encountered the following statement:
"For the purposes of licensing Oracle In-Memory Database Cache, only the
processors on which the TimesTen In-Memory Database component of the
In-Memory Database Cache software is installed and/or running are counted
for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required."
We have servers with the following configuration. Is there a way to get the
count of processors on which the Cache software could be installed and/or
running? Please assist.
Production box with 12 core 2 duo processors (24 cores)
Pre-production box with 8 core 2 duo processors (16 cores)
Development and test box with 2 single chip processors
Development and test box with 4 single chip processors
Development and test box with 6 single chip processors
Thanks & Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
regarding your questions:
1. What is the difference between "TimesTen In-Memory Database" and
"In-Memory Database Cache" in terms of features and licensing model?
==> Product has just been renamed and integrated better with the Oracle database - Times-Ten == In-Memory-Cache-Database
2. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option integrated with Oracle 10g
installable or a separate installable (i.e. TimesTen installable with only
cache feature)?
==> Seperate Installation
3. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option same as that of "TimesTen Cache
Connect to Oracle" option in TimesTen In-Memory Database?
==> Please have a look here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/timesten/quickstart/cc_qs_index.html
This explains the differences.
4. After integrating "In-Memory Database Cache" option with Oracle 10g, data
access will happen only through Oracle sqlplus or OCI calls. Am I right here
in making this statement?
==> Please see above mentioned papers
5. Is it possible to cache the result set of a join query in "In-Memory
Database Cache"?
==> Again ... ;-)
Kind regards
Mike

Any equivalent for "Oracle9i Database: Seminar Series for Oracle Server"?

Dear all
I'm interesting on the Oracle course named "Oracle9i Database: Seminar Series for Oracle Server" - [D16665GC10|http://education.oracle.co.uk/html/oracle/68US/D16665GC10.htm]
AFAIK as Oracle 9i is unsupported, I don't belive that I can find this course available anywhere. So my question is: "Is there any equivalent for above course for 10g/11g?"
Thanks in advance

Yes, those are excellent materials. A lot of the material is covered in the DBA 1 & 2 courses, but not as focused and not as 'in depth'. I encourage that you write directly to Oracle University and ask them to upgrade the seminar. (Tell them I'd be happy to update/deliver it. ;-))
An alternative, and possibly even better, is to watch for (or ask for) a local presentation by Jonathan Lewis and/or Cary Millsap (Method R)

Can a local database be used for ORACLE

Hi,
I am new to ORACLE.
Can we use a local database for ORACLE?
If so, what are the steps to create a local database in our machine?
Thanks,
Krishna.

Hi,
Thanks.
I have heard of the DBCA to install a local ORACLE database
But I think it is an ORACLE client that is installed in my machine.
Can I request my network system services to install a local ORACLE database?
Will that be of some help.
Thanks,
Krishna.

How to import oracle 9i database tables only to oracle 10g express edition

I had a database dump file created in oracle 9i now i want to import the 9i database table to oracle 10xe...

Depends whats in the export file, was it a full, user, or tablespace export?
One way to find out whats in the dump file, run an import show=y and it will only pull out the DDL for the objects in the file
$ imp file=<dumpfile name> log=implog.log show=y
username: system
There are lots of options and ways to run imp, 10g Utilities doc has all the details, here's the chapter on the original imp and exp utilities: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/exp_imp.htm#i1023560
If you only want one schema, just the tables, no data, no indexes, create your target user, and do a schema import no rows, no indexes, maybe leave out the grants and statistics too:
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect system
SQL> create user target_user identified by <passwd> default tablespace <tblspc>;
SQL> exit;
$ imp file=... log=... fromuser=<source username> touser=target_user rows=n indexes=n statistics=none grants=n

Database Client licening for Oracle XE

Hello,
When I mention Database Client, not instant client. Everything I have read says that the Database client, is tied to the Database License. But nothing spells out how that is with Oracle XE. Oracle XE seams to be licensed by CPU, because you are only allowed one. There is a specific feature in the Database Client that I would like to use.
I have been trying to get an answer to this from Oracle Licensing and they have not been getting back to me. I think its because I am a small startup with little to no money.
Is there a separate license needed to distribute the Oracle Database Client with Oracle XE? Is there an example anyone can share?
Thanks

XE doesn't have hard limit on how many users. Actually your question is not clear, are you asking for limit of how many users you can create or how many users can connect concurrently.
If first, there's no limit. If second it's only limited by the resources especially memory like other user demonstrated.
also you need to check parameter processes and sessions, these parameter will limit how many process/session can connect to database.

Minimun database version required for oracle application 12.1.3

We are palnning to upgrade from our current applications version 12.0.4 to 12.1.3
We understand it will done in 2 phases ie 12.0.4 - 12.1.1 and 12.1.1 to 12.1.3
but our current database version is 10.2.0.4
My question here is can we upgrade applications to 12.1.3 without upgrading database?
or shall we upgarde atleast to 10.2.0.5 first and then proceed with applications upgrade and then plan for database upgrade to 11g release 2 later.
Please suggest me with proper approach.To upgrade my current environment with oracle application 12.0.4 with database 10.2.0.4 to oracle apllications 12.1.3
Thanks in advance
pavan

We infact are upgrading even our database to 11.2.0.3, but database upgrade will be done by other organisation as our client has outsoursed database support to other organisation.
We have to do only application upgrade from 12.0.4 to 12.1.3, however we have access to database to upgrade it to 10.2.0.5 if required, So my question here is can we proceed upgrading application to 12.1.3 without upgrading the database. (can i use 10.2.0.4 database with 12.1.3)Please see your other thread, I have already answered you.
Thanks,
Hussein

TypeKit desktop syncing only for Lion?

Hi,
I've just recieved an invite to use the new TypeKit font syncing for desktop Apps, Great! I follow the link to begin, which prompts me to download the latest Creative Cloud. This just re-installs App manager and that's it!!!
So I'm assuming I can't get the latest Creative Cloud App because it's not available to anything below Mac OS X 7
As much as i'd like the cool toolbar icon and BeHance integration, I'm happy to live without it for now. So how do I sync the fonts????? Typekit states this "Typekit does not support Windows 2000 or Mac OS 10.3 and earlier"
Any ideas?
Many thanks

Hi Oli,
I'm sorry you ran into trouble here. Unfortunately, right now, the syncing of the fonts is handled by the Creative Cloud app. So it's required in order to use desktop sync fonts from Typekit.
I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help here. I can definitely share your request with the team. Let us know if you need anything else: [email protected]
Cheers,

Oracle SQL template to create re-usable DDL/DML Scripts for Oracle database

Hi,
I have a requirement to put together a Oracle SQL template to create re-usable DDL/DML Scripts for Oracle databases.
Only the Oracle DBA will be running the scripts so permissions is not an issue.
The workflow for any DDL is as follows:-
1) New Table
a. Check if the table exists from the system/admin views.
b. If table exists then give message "Table Exists"
c. If table does not exist then execute DDL code
2) Add Column
a. Check if Column exists for a given table from system/admin views
b. If column exists in the specified table,
b1. backup table.
b2. alter table to make changes to the column
b3. verify data or execute dml script convert from backup to the new change.
c. If Column does not exist
c1. backup table
c2. alter table to add column
c3. execute dml to populate column with default value.
The DML scripts are for populating base tables with data required for business operations.
3) Add new row
a. check if row exists by comparing old values of each column with new values to be added for the new record.
b. If exists, give message row exists
c. If not exists, add new record.
4) Update existing record (We have createtime columns in these tables so changes can be tracked)
a. check if row exists using primary key.
b. If exists,
b1. deactivate the record using the "active" column of the table
b2. Add new record with the changes required.
c. If does not exist, add new record with the changes required.
Could you please help with some ideas which can get this done accurately?
I have tried several ways, but I am not able to put together something that fulfills all requirements.
Thank you,

First let me address your question. (This is the easy part.)
1. The existence of tables can be found in DBA_TABLES. Query it and and then use conditional logic and execute immediate to process the DDL.
2. The existence of table columns is found in DBA_TAB_COLUMNS. Query it and then conditionally execute your DDL. You can copy the "before picture" of the table using that same dba view, or even better, use DBMS_METADATA.
As for your DML scripts, they should be restartable, reversible, and re-run-able. They should "fail gracefully" on error, be written in such a way that they can run twice in a row without creating duplicate changes.
3. Adding appropriate constraints can prevent invalid duplicate rows. Also, you can usually add to the where clause so that the DML does only what it needs to do without even relying on the constraint (but the constraint is there as a safeguard). Look up the MERGE statement to learn how to do an UPSERT (update/insert), which will let you conditionally "deactivate" (update) or insert a record. Anything that you cannot do in SQL can be done with simple procedural code.
Now, to the heart of the matter...
You think I did not understand your requirements?

Sync with Outlook ONLY for a specific date range

I have a Zire 31 that I'm syncing with Outlook via latest Palm Desktop/HotSync. I did just install the latest conduit.
I was getting several repeating calendar entries that were not syncing with the Zire (annual birthdays, etc.) - turns out that they did not have an "end-date" specified when created in Outlook. Creating an end-date solved the problem.
However - I would like to know if it is possible to specify a certain date range for the device to sync (e.g., sync calendar only for years 2007 through 2050, or in other words sync from 1 year ago to 50 years in future, etc...)
I recall specifying this once years ago, but I may have been using a third party to sync with Lotus Notes at the time. I'm wondering if this option is also available with syncing directly with Outlook using HotSync??? I can't imagine it's not, but I can't find where you specify it.
One more interesting note: while my Zire 31 had issues syncing those repeating calendar entries - my much older HandSpring Visor Deluxe syncs them no problem! Go figure.
Thanks much -
Post relates to: Zire 31

I'm not actually looking to purge old items.
Rather - I would like to ONLY sync calendar entries between a specified range of dates. For example - ONLY sync for calendar entries between Jan 1 2007 and Jan 1, 2050.
the problem is that I have some repeating entries (birthdays, etc.) that are set up in Outlook with no end date. Apparently Palm/HotSync is having trouble syncing these (they don't show up at all - for any year.)
One resolution is to apply an end-date for each repeating calendar entry. However, this is just another step my wife needs to remember to do. If you happen to forget to to this, then Hotsync will ignore that entry. Fine if you realize that's happening, but if you forget and forget to check - you won't even know it didn't sync!
The other possible resolution is to only have HotSync sync for a SPECIFIC date range - one that does not presumably go to infinity. That is my question - how does one sync ONLY for a specific date range. Has nothing to do with purging old entries.
Thanks!!

[Blog] Using VMware vROPs to monitor Oracle Database and WebLogic. Management Pack for Oracle EM, Hyperic Plugins, or Both?

This blog post provides a suggested methodology for helping users of VMware vROps/vCOps decide which of the existing solutions, the vROps Management Pack for Oracle EM and the VMware vROps Hyperic Plugins for Oracle, should be used to monitor their Oracle workloads.
It’s been a nearly a year since VMware transferred the vCOps Adapter for Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) to Blue Medora and since that transfer Blue Medora has released a number of major updates as well as rebranded it the Blue Medora vROps Management Pack for Oracle EM. Over that same period of time VMware has continued to evolve their Oracle-focused (Oracle Database and WebLogic J2EE) Hyperic agent-based plugins culminating most recently with a October 2014 update to the Oracle Database plugin that provides support for Oracle Database 12c.
