Is Forms 3.0 supported by 10g oracle database

Hi,
My application is currently running on form 3.0 and 7i database. We are upgrading the database into 10g.
Is forms 3.0 supported by 10g Oracle database?

No, its not supported or certifed and will probably not work. Some changes in row IDs mean that Forms 3 can only run against older (7) database - not 10g. You will need to upgrade your Forms as well.

  • Pagination support for non-Oracle databases?

    Hi,
    I just read this thread (Pagination Support on pagination support. Is there any way to get pagination with non-Oracle databases? We are using an IBM iSeries / AS/400 DB2 database right now, and we're planning to use some local lightweight database in the near future as well (probably Cloudscape/Derby or "IBM Everyplace database".)
    We currently use code like this:
    String sql = "SELECT art FROM Artikel art" +
                /* dynamically generated where statement is added here */
                + "ORDER BY art.artikelNummer";
    Query q = em.createQuery(sql);
    q.setFirstResult(firstResult);
    q.setMaxResults(maxResults);If I look in the TopLink logs, I see queries like this:
    SELECT ARTNR, ARALT, ARAFJ, ARXII, ARAVJ, ARXIV, ARANJ, AHGCD, ARNVJ, ARCRJ, ARARK, ARFKJ, ARTNK, ARGP1, ASGCD, ARGP2, ARPR1, ARGP3, ARPR2, AREX1, ARPR3, AREX2, ARPR4, AREX3, ARASA, ARINA, ASSCD, ARIA1, ARBAN, ARIN1, ARBAV, ARIA2, ARBAK, ARIN2, ARCES, ARIA3, ARCDT, ARIN3, ARCRE, ARIA4, ARCWK, ARIN4, ARHBH, ARIA5, ARDFA, ARIN5, ARDFG, ARIA6, ARDOS, ARIN6, AREPW, ARINN, ARFOD, ARIAS, ARFOE, ARINS, ARFOF, ARNAB, ARFOI, ARNIB, ARFON, ARNIA, ARFOS, ARNN1, ARFTA, ARNA2, ARVIV, ARNO2, ARGAP, ARNN3, ARGPT, ARNA4, ARGPD, ARNO4, ARGPA, ARNN5, ARGPO, ARNA6, ARHIS, ARNN6, ARISP, ARNIO, ARKHM, ARNNS, MAGCD, AROVJ, MTGCD, ARPL1, ARMXM, ARPL2, MRKCD, ARPL3, ARMVR, ARVKJ, ARMIM, ARV12, ARMDT, ARVVJ, ARMTE, AR#VR, ARMTU, ARZLS, ARMTM, ARIAT, ARMWK, ARAVS, MPCCD, ARNVS, ARBTW, ARFJS, ARXI2, ARG2S, ARXI3, ARE1S, ARXI4, ARE3S, ARXI6, ARIB1, ARXI1, ARIB2, ARXI5, ARIB3, AROPI, ARIB4, ARPRV, ARIB5, SZGCD, ARIB6, ARSPC, ARINO, ARSMF, ARIOS, VEAAN, ARNIS, ARSYN, ARNO1, ARVR1, ARNA3, ARV1S, ARNN4, ARVR2, ARNO5, ARV2S, ARNIN, ARVR3, ARNOS, ARV3S, ARP1S, ARTFA, ARP3S, ARTFG, ARS12, ARUVC, ARZLD, ARUCW, ARAJS, ARBKV, ARCJS, ARVVI, ARG3S, ARVVP, ARINB, VPOCD, ARIO2, VPECD, ARIO4, ARVIH, ARIO6, ARVHG, ARNBS, ARVRW, ARNN2, ARVPR, ARNA5, ARVVR, ARNAS, ARVVS, ARP2S, ARVV1, ARSVV, ARZK1, ARNJS, ARNA1, ARNO3, ARIO1, ARNO6, ARIO5, AROJS, ARE2S, ARVJS, ARIBS, ARIAD, ARIO3, ARG1S FROM ART WHERE ((((ARUVC = 'N') AND (ARHIS = 'N')) AND (ASGCD = 7)) AND (AHGCD = 15)) ORDER BY ARTNR ASC
    (Yeah, I know we have too much columns in the table...)
    So, no pagination in the query. As you can see, we have a mechanism in place to dynamically generate a where clause. This is because the user can set filters. The problem is, if our user sets a filter that causes the result set to be significantly smaller, the performance is way better than when he sets no filter at all. We suppose this is because the whole result set is sent to TopLink, regardless of the values of firstResult and maxResults.
    We are using TopLink Essentials 2.1-10, by the way.

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to subclass <tt>DatabasePlatform</tt> to add pagination support for the AS/400 DB2 database of my customer. To be fair, it is not going very well so far.
    The first problem is, the query Chris found by googling (Re: Pagination support for non-Oracle databases?), does not work for AS/400s version of DB2. In fact, although it is called "DB2", the database on the AS/400 system is a whole other database than the "normal" DB2 database that runs on Windows and *nix. The AS/400 DB2 simply does not have a "ROW_NEXT" function.
    Another option would be to use the <b>row_number() over()</b> mehtod. But, as can be read here, this function is only available from version V5R4 of OS/400. And guess what? We're stuck on V5R3 at this client. (We cannot upgrade, because there's an application in use that's written in Delphi and IBM dropped the Delphi binding from V5R4...)
    So I pretty much ran out of options. On the mailing list I linked to above, someone mentions the option to make a sort of stored procedure that generates a row count number. An example of how to do this can be found here. I implemented it, and ended up with this code:
    package com.myclientsname.persistence;
    import java.sql.Connection;
    import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
    import java.sql.ResultSet;
    import java.sql.SQLException;

        public AS400Platform(){

             super.setShouldBindAllParameters(false);
        public void printSQLSelectStatement(DatabaseCall call, ExpressionSQLPrinter printer, SQLSelectStatement statement) {
            int max = 0;
            int firstRow = 0;
            if (statement.getQuery()!=null){
                max = statement.getQuery().getMaxRows();
                firstRow = statement.getQuery().getFirstResult();
            if ( !(max>0) && !(firstRow>0) ){
                super.printSQLSelectStatement(call, printer,statement);
                return;
            } else {
                statement.setUseUniqueFieldAliases(true);
                ExpressionBuilder builder = new ExpressionBuilder();
                statement.addField(builder.getField("COUNTER() AS CNTR"));
                printer.printString("SELECT * FROM (");
                call.setFields(statement.printSQL(printer));
                printer.printString(") AS R WHERE R.CNTR >= ");
                printer.printParameter(DatabaseCall.FIRSTRESULT_FIELD);
                if ( max > 0 ){
                    // Use of binding parameters is not allowed here, so use
                    // String concatenation instead...
                    printer.printString(" FETCH FIRST " + max + " ROWS ONLY");

        public boolean wasFailureCommunicationBased(SQLException exception, Connection connection, AbstractSession sessionForProfile){
            if (connection == null || this.pingSQL == null){
                //Without a connection we are  unable to determine what caused the error so return false.
                //The only case where connection will be null should be External Connection Pooling so
                //returning false is ok as there is no connection management requirement
                    //If there is no ping sql then we can not perform the ping.
                return false;
            PreparedStatement statement = null;
            try{
                sessionForProfile.startOperationProfile(SessionProfiler.ConnectionPing);
                if (sessionForProfile.shouldLog(SessionLog.FINE, SessionLog.SQL)) {// Avoid printing if no logging required.
                     sessionForProfile.log(SessionLog.FINE, SessionLog.SQL, getPingSQL(), (Object[])null, null, false);
                statement = connection.prepareStatement(getPingSQL());
                ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery();
                result.close();
                statement.close();
            }catch (SQLException ex){
                try{
                    // Had to add this check because of NullPointerExceptions
                    // (maybe a bug?)
                    if(statement != null){
                        //try to close statement again in case the query or result.close() caused an exception.
                        statement.close();
                } catch (SQLException exception2) {
                    //ignore;
                return true;
            }finally{
                sessionForProfile.endOperationProfile(SessionProfiler.ConnectionPing);
            return false;
    }(As you can see, I had to override the <tt>wasFailureCommunicationBased()</tt> method as well, due to some unexpected NPE's. (A bug, perhaps?))
    This code does work. However, the performance is not very well. The first page comes relatively fast, but as you browse further in the table, each page comes slower. I assume this is because the counter() method has to be evaluated for each row in the table.
    I have to get the performance better and constant. Does anyone have an idea how to optimize this further?
    Best regards,
    Bart Kummel

    Ronald,
    I was able to connect to a database with Forms 11g by adding an Environment variable TNS_ADMIN and pointing this to the directory where the sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files are located. I was unable to find a Net Configuration Assistant in Forms 11g and placing a copy of .ora files in the /%11G HOME/NETWORK/ADMIN didn't work either. Only after I added the environment variable was I able to connect.
    There might be a "More Appropriate" solution, but this is what worked for me. We are just now testing 11g, but are still developing with 10g R2.
    Hope this helps,

  • Three tier architecture using oracle dev suite 10g & oracle database 9i

    hi ,
    I am trying to build a software which will manage the database of a hospital through usual form design .
    The tools I am using for these are
    (1) oracle server database 9i (2) oracle developer suite 10g (3) windows xp professional service pack 2 .
    I have designed the form modules in developer suite , created the tables in the database , connected those tables to the form modules using dml statements, now data can be inserted , updates and deleted through the form design . I have also deployed the forms using "run forms through web" and thereby other computers connected to the main computer through lan can also access the software using the web port address and the name of form to be used , these computers are not having oracle developer suite or oracle database installed , but they can access the software through the browser .
    In this scenario my question is that , is this a three tier architecture as oracle database is the first tier , oracle developer suite is the middle tier where I am puting all the bussiness logics and oc4j instance is used to connect the database and the dev suite , and for user interaction we have the browser as the third tier ?
    or this is a two tier architecture ? if this is a two tier architecture please let me know how can I implement a three tier architecture using oracle developer suite 10g and oracle server database 9i .
    Thanks a lot for showing ur interest to read this

    You need Oracle Application Server to deploy the forms when you go live.
    What you are currently using OC4J which came in the developer suite. It is used only for development purpose and can not have capacity to handle higher load.
    3 tier arch
    1. Thin Client :-> Browser
    2 Middle tier -> Oracle Appln Server /OC4j(in ur case)
    3 Database Tier -> Oracle Database

  • Forms 6i don't connect to Oracle Database 11g.

    Hi people, I'm having a great problem, first I have a old server runing Red Hat with oracle 10g XE, this oracle XE is almost full, so I need to install Oracle Database 11g XE to get more space in another server, this another server is runing windows server 2003, I did it tow time in tow diferent server, a restore for migration is all right, the problem is when I try to connect forms6i to the database 11g XE, forms only closed without no error message...
    Some one has some help?
    Regards,

    Also take a peek at some of the compatibility settings within 11g XE. You can get it to act like 10g XE regarding password caps vs lower case and such. We've been able to get a client/server forms/reports app (patch 18) to connect to and run just fine to 11g XE.

    hi,
    I am also having the same problem with DBCA. Usually it hangs at 40% and then dies. When running the scripts, it also crashes and i am not sure where to go from here. To follow is the last bit of the display for the scripts at they run. There are two errors present. I have done my best to research this issue on my own, however, I have not had any success. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

  • Cache Connect Oracle Database Support

    What versions of the 10g Oracle Database server are supported by Cache Connect for TimeTen 7.0.4 & 7.0.5?
    The TimesTen 7.0.4 & 7.0.5 Installation Guide lists that 10gR1 & 10gR2 are supported.
    What about 10gR3 & 10gR4 for TimesTen 7.0.4 & 7.0.5?
    Thanks.

    Brian,
    There are no 10gR3 and 10gR4 for the Oracle Database.
    - 10gR1 = 10.1.0.x
    - 10gR2 = 10.2.0.y
    The latest 10gR2 release number is 10.2.0.4 and is available on Linux and a number of other platforms.
    Both TimesTen 7.0.4 and 7.0.5 support 10.2.0.4 and this is the recommended client version for Cache Connect; the reason is that we have found Oracle OCI client side issues with pre-10.2.0.4 releases and they are fixed in 10.2.0.4.

  • Running oracle database xe (express edition) on windows server 2008 r2

    Is it supported to run Oracle Database XE on Windows Server 2008 R2?
    Database XE is only supported as 32-bit. Current builds of Windows Server 2008 only come in x64 configurations.
    Here are the Database XE system requirements for windows:
    [http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm]
    The docs say that 32-bit windows is required, yet they also say that windows server 2008 is supported.
    Windows Server 2008 R2 came out in 2009, and in R2 they eliminated 32-bit OS (though there is the WOW64 subsystem to run 32-bit programs within the 64-bit OS).

    Hello Matt,
    Is it supported to run Oracle Database XE on Windows Server 2008 R2?No.
    The docs say that 32-bit windows is required, yet they also say that windows server 2008 is supported.So this means that only 32bit versions of 2008 will be supported.
    Windows Server 2008 R2 came out in 2009, and in R2 they eliminated 32-bit OS (though there is the WOW64 subsystem to run 32-bit programs within the 64-bit OS).Which is probably why 2008 R2 is not supported.
    You can either take the VM approach and install a 32 bit Windows or 64 bit Linux host, or you can queue in the list of persons waiting for a 64 bit Windows release. See the following thread for details (and the queue) for the latter: {thread:id=2277728}

  • Downgrading Oracle database 12.1.0 to 11R2

    Hi everyone,
    I'm very new to the oracle products and databases as well, so obviuosly my question might look like a bit simple for someone, but I do really need an answer to it.
    I'm using OTN Developer Day VM, which comes with the preinstalled Oracle DB 12cR1. I'm wondering if its possible to dowgrade it to 11R2? Maybe in order to do the downgrade it must have been previously upgraded from 11R2 to 12cR1 ?
    Regards

    Your 'guess' is correct. You can only 'downgrade' IF you have previously 'upgraded' AND you have not modified the COMPATIBLE parameter.
    See The Database Upgrade Guide
    Downgrading Oracle Database to an Earlier Release
    For supported releases of Oracle Database, you can downgrade a database to the release from which you last upgraded. For example, if you recently upgraded from release 11.2.0.4 to Oracle Database 12c, and you did not change the compatible initialization parameter to 12.1 or higher, then you can downgrade to release 11.2.0.4. If your Oracle Database 12c is release 12.1.0.2, and you did not change the compatible initialization parameter to 12.1.0.2, then you can downgrade to release 12.1.0.1 and so forth.

  • ADF with non Oracle databases?

    HI all,
    I would like to know, if there are people using ADF but without Oracle database. We are negotiating a new project, and I would IIke to develop it with ADF, but database will be Firebird or Postgres.
    I know its possible, but Im searching experiences of using ADF mainly with other databases, and if its worth for this kind of project, or otherwise,if there are so many "changes" not using Oracle db.
    Regards.

  • GLOBAL VARIABLES FOR NON-ORACLE DATABASE

    What is the alternative of global variables in Form 5.0 when using non-oracle databases. I know one way is passing parameters, is there any other way? I have few variables which need to be global in my application.
    Thank you
    null

    There is no other way.. you have to use either Global variables or parameter lists to pass values from one form to another form.. With in the form you can always use null canvas item to store and pass values in different program units or triggers..
    have a nice day
