Is Oracle Supports all 12 rules of Dr .Ef Ted Codd

Hi Fellows,
I am Asif and I what to discuss something with you all.
Dr. E.F. Codd, an IBM researcher, first developed the relational data model in 1970. In 1985, Dr. Codd published a list of 12 rules that concisely define an ideal relational database, which have provided a guideline for the design of all relational database systems ever since.
you can visit this link to study those rules...
http://www.itworld.com/nl/db_mgr/05072001/
According to Dr. E.F. Codd, the software who support all those 12 rules will be called a full relational database management system.
Is Oracle's new version support all those 12 rules or not?
Many Thanks

Hi,
>>Is Oracle's new version support all those 12 rules or not?
Nowadays, I'm not sure about the rule 10 (Integrity Independence) ...
"Rule 10: Integrity Independence
The database language (like SQL) should support constraints on user input that maintain database integrity. This rule is not fully implemented by most major vendors. At a minimum, all databases do preserve two constraints through SQL.
* No component of a primary key can have a null value. (see rule 3)
* [url http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=617660&start=0&tstart=0]If a foreign key is defined in one table, any value in it must exist as a primary key in another table."

  • Oracle Support Contract

    I wonder how other users feel about transition of support from Primavera to Oracle.
    Here is some thought I have on it, I hope some of you can help me understand why it is as it is.
    Contract*
    We have huge problem with signing/renewing Support Contract. We've asked Oracle for quotation end of October and still did not receive any price offer. I've email to at least 7 Oracle employees, tried to escalate it but still - there is no offer in my inbox.
    Perhaps our licenses setup is a bit strange for Oracle, but for Primavera it was fine - I have CM licenses in several offices divided into groups, in some offices I don’t need to update to CM13 (which is far too buggy to install it in offices which do not have in-house support). Also for other reasons I simply do not want to keep maintenance contract for all licenses.
    Oracle uses License Sets that MUST contain all licenses of the same product and they want me to buy maintenance for all licenses, no matter if I use support for them or not.
    Looks like they want to protect themselves from companies who will buy maintenance for one license and use it for 100 licenses? Well then why with CM13 they skipped concurrent users limit hardcoded in the application?
    Well I don’t want to trash licenses of xx K $ worth! Since Primavera had it set up like that, why Oracle seats in and changes the rules without my knowledge and permit?
    My Oracle Support*
    I have feeling that there is less support now. SR's don’t get updated as often, information about updates of SR is giving wrong info. Email notification is not working in my case. SR history for some reason contains spam notifications of updating SR...
    I miss the chat feature form POINT - initiate chat and get response the same hour...
    After updating a SR there is some kind of confirmation msg that gets stuck under the window, very often I cannot update or read SRs due to numerous "network/IO/communication" errors.
    I'm sorry but besides having a BUG list (finally!) i find My Oracle Support a well-dressed downgrade from POINT.
    In general this post turned out pretty negative, which was not the intention. Hope some of you will post positive comments on Oracle Support.

    Hi people,
    Well it looks like we all have problems. Although I can log into My Support, I cannot create new SRs. After 3 weeks of trying to get Oracle to do something about this they tell me it because thay don't have me registered on a valid Support Identifier, despite oracle giving me the number. My suspition is that somehow they have not updated the support contracts.
    Anyhow, the result is that I con't get decent resolutions to my problems implementing CM version 13. As I'm downunder in New Zealand and am one of only 2 companies running CM we have little or no support here. I currently get most of my supprt through this forum.
    I have started to look for alternative solutions as I am sick and tired of the lack of support.
    Regards
    Rudi

  • Can SQL Developer be used for Oracle Support "HTML Output" Diag Scripts ?

    Hi All,
    Oracle Support has asked me to run a diagnostic script (OTL_Diag.sql for anyone familar with the script) that produces output in HTML format using SQL*Plus to help troubleshoot an OTL problem we are having. Unfortunately I don't have SQL*Plus installed and my company is not on board with me installing it because of the SQL*NET connection required. Instead I have access to SQL Developer 3.1.0.7. While this works fine for most situations I'm having problems generating the required .html output file that Support needs.
    I've tried runing the OTL_Diag.sql a couple of ways using SQL Developer. First, I opened the file from SQL Developer and using the Run Script functionality (F5) I executed the code that way. This method did give me an opportunity to input the necessary parms and it did create the 'start' of the HTML file on my (Windows) file system, but the script seemed to abort with a java error that indicated some sort of format error (sorry, I'm not a java person so I can't provide any more info, but I'll be glad to get the exact error message if anyone thinks that will help solve my issue).
    My second approach was to open a SQL Window where I typed in @C:\OTL_Diag.sql without quotes. This approach also gave me the opportunity to enter the necessary input parms and it seemed to end normally. It also created the 'start' of the diaganostic output file on my Windows file system, but it 'completed' before any of the 'real' diaganostic output was written to the .html file.
    The Metalink note clearly specifies that the OTL_Diag.sql script is to be run with SQL*Plus 10.2 or above so I don't think I can complain too loudly to Oracle about this...but given that I don't have access to this product (and it is useless for me to again ask to install it) I am hoping someone out there has some ideas or insight as to how I can use SQL Developer to execute this diag script in a manner that will produce the required .html output file.
    Thanks in advance to anyone taking time to read my post !!
    Jeff

    >
    As a result, at this point in time my only available tool to run the OTL_Diag.sql script (provided by Oracle Support) is SQL Developer
    >
    Then you will have to edit the script, break it into pieces, execute each piece manually and save the output to feed into the next piece as required based on what the script is actually doing. Don't post the script or contents as that will likely violate your support agreement.
    As I already mentioned the script may be using syntax and/or commands that are simply not supported by sql*developer. One likely area is the script may be producing intermediate output scripts that are then processed by a later portion of the script. If that is the case then my suggestion to execute the pieces manually should work but you will need to do some trial-and-error to see.
    Even if you appear to be successful you will still have an issue when you communicate the results of your 'test' to Oracle support and they determine you didn't follow their instructions to use the proper tool.
    Sounds like your management is either ignorant or incompetent so I suggest you cover yourself by documentating the instructions from Oracle support and the direct orders you were given to disregard those instructions. No need to discuss that issue further but clearly there are resources available somewhere in the org that has the proper privileges or they wouldn't be able to maintain and support the database. If they want to pay for support they should heed their advice. Nuff said.

  • How To Simplify Knowledge Search On My Oracle Support (MOS) For WCI (ALUI)

    ****** Please feel free to post a reply to this thread if you've found the link provided here useful ******
    Where's The WCI Knowledge On My Oracle Support?
    Have you been frustrated by how difficult it is to navigate the My Oracle Support "Product Tree" when searching for WebCenter Interaction knowledge articles?
    Do you find yourself confused by the number of articles returned from your keyword searches for knowledge that have absolutely nothing to do with WCI Products?
    Is there really any knowledge base for WCI products at all?
    The answer is yes! In fact it's very healthy and getting healthier every day.
    Across the breadth of the the WCI Products (Portal, Collab, Publisher, Analytics...etc.) there are hundreds of current and updated knowledge articles available on MOS.
    New knowledge is created from almost every support case where the issue was not otherwise solved by existing knowledge or documentation.
    The Support Team is reviewing and publishing an average of 20 new articles a month, each of them solutions culled from actual customer engagements.
    We recognize that it can be difficult to navigate the "product tree" to narrow the scope of your search results to ensure it's limited to the knowledge created specifically for the WCI products.
    To help make it easier for WCI customers to get to the right knowledge as quickly as possible we've created a valuable link to use anytime you want to search MOS for
    WCI product knowledge. The link at the bottom of this posting will limit your search to only the products in the WCI family.
    Let Us Know How We're Doing
    Did an article help you resolve your issue and avoid having to log a service request?
    Was the article perfectly written and exactly what you needed?
    Was the article more complicated than it should have been or somehow incomplete?
    Make sure you "rate" the article after viewing it and feel free to make comments to improve an article.
    Look for the "Rate This Document" icon at the bottom of the view window for the article and click there.
    The feedback goes directly to the team that created the article is actively reviewed in an effort to improve on the knowledge already provided
    or to help generate new knowledge as needed. The Support Team is striving to ensure that the right information is available at the right time.
    <h2>Click this link: WCI Search
    The link should take you right to the WCI KM search section on MOS (after you log in) and all you need do from there is enter your key words and "Search".

    SUPER userful.
    I attempted to use the Knowledge Base on oracle support earlier today to find this precise information and gave up in frustration.
    This link definitely helps.

  • My Oracle Support documents print with text cut off on the right margin

    Just a question to check if more people have this issue. When I try to print a document from the knowledge base on My Oracle Support (MOS) it always prints with a lot of text being cut off on the right margin of the page. I tried this with different workstations, OS'es (XP Pro, W7), browsers (IE6, IE8), printers, etc. but it's always the same result. My only workaround is to copy all text and paste it into a text editor. I've logged a service request for this, but Oracle doesn't really seem to care about it and after pointing me to setting margins in Microsoft Publisher (???) and an article on how to export tables on MOS, they pointed to the HTML version of MOS (which has exactly the same issue by the way) and our local IS department for printing preferences. Apparently they cannot replicate this on their workstations, whereas I can replicate at will on a load of different workstations. I know that it's best not to print on paper and read on the screen, but even printing to a PDF writer will cut off text. Does anyone have the same issue with printing documents from MOS?

  • Oracle support under PHP / 8i or 9 and a RedHat 9 / Apache 1.3.X machine

    Hi,
    I have a server (currently 7.1) with apache + php
    compiled with oracle (and mcrypt, imap, gettext) support.
    In order to do so I've installed the 8i linux
    version, make a tar.gz of the libs directory and
    installed in my server.
    I runs fine accessing a remote (not mantained by me)
    oracle database.
    I am planning to switch to a newer distribution and
    was considering the RH9 but with the "old" 1.3.x apache.
    Since I do not actually use Oracle (just enable php
    scripts to do so) I am kind of lost if the combo (old
    8i libs with redhat 9) are stable enough or should I
    try a newer version, such as oracle 9.
    And in that case if is there a "developers" package/installation that enables me just to install the required libs/headers without having to actually install the whole db.
    Since the answer can be slighty OT fell free to send
    me directly.
    Thanks.

    I'm in a similar situation where i'm migrating from Win2k + PHP & want oracle support to connect to a remote server.
    I got as far as installing redhat 9 & installing the oracle client.
    I still can't get oracle to work in PHP though. doing a bit of research I dont think the redhat 9 RPM's come with oracle support compiled. I really dont want to be maintaining custom compiled php versions i'd rather just have up2date do it all. I hear you can get ODBC to work with oracle, but most of the stuff i've looked at covers doing this on windows, not linux.
    If anyone out there has manager to get PHP & oracle working on RH9, without re-compiling PHP please let me know!

  • Feed back needed about the Oracle support service request

    Dear Oracle professional,
    When you have an issues in the Oracle softwares while doing the installations or working funcnalities.
    Is it good to get it touch with Oracle support services to get supports or Self efforts is good.
    Some company's are feeling get supports is not good way of approach from the Oracle supports services.
    Rather they would keep thier business on hold till they get the supports by themself.the daly will causes in to the business losses because of the time.
    And their business production will be less.
    By getting Oracle supports you get the solutions faster this helps to increase the productivities high.
    Some IT Manages will like to play this role always find a solutions by themself and eaten up the time.
    Why this is happending with them?
    Any issues or eagostics with them?
    Feel free to express it to me, i would be happy to hear this please.
    Thanks
    Riyas
    email [email protected]

    Clearly it is a trade of between high productivity vs time & money.
    So now a days companies which i have seen that they will have internal team of SMEs which will try to look into issues and there are certain escalation points from where in you will get some support from Oracle support.
    and again this changes from organization to organization not a thumb rule.

  • Harry, Why won't Portal Developers Support Oracle Support???

    I just got off the phone with Oracle support and the response is
    that they can't provide assistance on my TAR because the portal
    developers won't give them the info. Why?
    All I have been asking for are the columns/tables in PORTAL30
    and/or PORTAL30_SSO that store the page name (and display name),
    owner, etc. for each page, content area, application, etc. This
    way I can more easily generate a script to do the page/content
    area exports/imports instead of going through the navigator and
    clicking edit on each object. And how about a data model like
    Apps offers its users -- surely one exists so why not share it?
    Bob

    I'm using this procedure to list all my pages. For now I just
    run this in Portal and copy/paste it into an export dos-batch
    script which exports all the specified pages. Later I will
    update the procudure so that it generates the export script
    automatically.
    Create or Replace PROCEDURE SUPPORT.DUMP_PAGES
    as
    CURSOR page_cur IS
    SELECT NAME
    FROM PORTAL30.WWPOB_PAGE$
    WHERE CREATED_BY='USERNAME';
    begin
    FOR page IN page_cur
    LOOP
    -- Syntax I need in my export script...
    htp.p('call E:\support_dump\dump_page.bat ' ||
    page.name || '<BR>');
    END LOOP;
    htp.p('<P>');
    FOR page IN page_cur
    LOOP
    -- Syntax I need in my importt script...
    htp.p('call E:\support_dump\imp_page.bat ' ||
    page.name || '<BR>');

  • Oracle Support - Outdated version

    AM looking for info on support vs running oracle on a non-supported version. By this I mean running a version that no longer gets CPU, etc. We do support for a client that has seven licenses all running 10.2.0.3, which earlier this year extended beyond its CPU time line. We are recommending upgrades to 10.2.0.4 but there is some resistance on there part. In a situation where Oracle support would be required, which we pay for, would they attempt to work through the issue or suggest getting it upgraded first and then trying to resolve the issue. Any and all comments welcome.
    Thanks
    Martin

    If you pay for support, Oracle Support will work with you to get whatever version of the database you are working on working correctly. There will almost always be a suggestion to upgrade if an issue comes up, but they understand that is not always possible. If you happen to hit a bug that is fixed in the 10.2.0.4 patchset or some one-off patch that requires 10.2.0.4, Support won't backport that fix to 10.2.0.3 for you at this point. And if you identify a bug that hasn't been fixed yet, they aren't going to create a patch for the bug on 10.2.0.3. Other than that, they'll be happy to help.

    My question here is not abuot ORA-4031 error and how to troubleshoot it, but about the error (FILE VALIDATION FAILED) that I receive in ORA-4031 Trobleshooting Tool on the Oracle Support web site. We do manuall analyses and troubleshooting as well, but would be nice if the tool works as well.Have you followed all the steps in (How to use the ORA-4031 Troubleshooting Tool on MOS [ID 1381442.1])? If yes, then I believe you need to log a SR for this issue as none of us maintain this tool, and you need someone from Oracle (development team who maintain it internally) to verify why you are getting that error when uploading the files.

    C.
    When XE was first released, there was no SQL Developer. Now that there is, we encourage the use of that for the DB Admin functions that we had added to APEX just for XE. All the SQL is provided for you here (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/3.0.1_and_xe.html). In the future, we will work to expose these functions more nicely through SQL Developer but you can feel free to create an application with all the SQL - you will just need a privileged user to execute most of it.
