Is the Oracle database 11.1.0.7 patch available for linux 64 bit

I only Microsoft downloads for this patch - does this mean we have to go to 11.2. Thanks for the input!

It is the same patch number.
I see it as available for Linux x86-64, Linux x86, Windows 32bit and WIndows 64 bit.
Perhaps you want to install the new OCM for Oracle Support - it should help you get those patches without searching. ;-)

Is the Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 enough for preparing for the 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-144 Exams?

I am planning on getting certified as an OCA PL\SQL developer. I will be teaching myself and I have all the material needed to prepare.
Except, I don't have a database that I can solve exercises on and practice commands.
The two exams I will be taking are the :
1Z0-051 exam: Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I
1Z0-144 exam: Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL
So is the Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 is enough ?
If it is not what other options do I have (I am running Windows 8.1) ?

Yes -- 11gXE should be sufficient for practicing the vast majority of the skills required for those two exams. I *think* that PARALLEL is not enabled in XE, so you could not test the functionality referred to in the "Use NOCOPY hint, PARALLEL ENABLE hint and DETERMINISTIC clause" topic of 1Z0-144. I don't consider that to be a significant problem, however. The material from the manual should suffice for the questions you'll see.
As for what other options you have, you could download and install VirtualBox (free from Oracle). You could then make a virtual machine on your Windows 8.1 machine and install Oracle Linux (free from Oracle). You could then download and install Oracle Enterprise for Linux and install it on your virtual machine (allowable under the licensing when used for learning purposes only). I have a similar setup on my Windows 7 laptop that I use when I absolutely have to test some feature that requires Oracle Enterprise. Mind you, when I have the VM running on my system... it is ssssslllllloooooowwwwww because of the memory requirements. I talk about using virtual machines as a certification aid in the following article:

How can i save the data from the Oracle database to my local directory

How can i save the data from the Oracle database to my local directory instead Of saving the data file to the Directory created on the Oracle Server ?
I require to design the Procedure which will pull the data from various tables and needs to store the data in the Client's local directory.

Since SQL*PLUS runs on the client, you can use SQL*PLUS to spool data to your local drive.
You could also use the database to write a a specified drive where all users have access to (mapped network drive, e.g.). I wouldn't recommend doing it that way, but it is sometimes useful when the files are created in some nightly batch run.

Error when installing 9.0.1.4.0 patch set for the Oracle Database Server.

Hi to all.
Currently, i am trying to install patches for portal server.
The server OS is Sun Solaris 8.
We are using Oracle9iAS.
Now, we are installing 9.0.1.4.0 patch set for the Oracle Database Server.
We managed to install the patch, but have problem with the Post Install Action.
We managed to run
-ALTER SYSTEM ENABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
-@rdbms/admin/catpatch.sql
-ALTER SYSTEM DISABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
-CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
-update obj$ set status=5 where type#=29 and owner#!=0;
-commit;
But, when we come to the next command, which is to shutdown, it gives us like
this..
SQL> update obj$ set status=5 where type#=29 and owner#!=0;
1402 rows updated.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only
We tried to startup the database..it gives us this error..
SQL> startup
ORA-01081: cannot start already-running ORACLE - shut it down first
So, we tried to shutdown again..
SQL> shutdown immediate
ORA-01089: immediate shutdown in progress - no operations are permitted
I been informed that this is maybe a Database problem related. Any ideas?
Best Wishes,
Rushdan Md Saad.

Patchsets could be obtained (only) from http://metalink.oracle.com
You need to have valid CSI for access.
P.S: Sorry Werner, I didn't see you post.

How can we clone the Oracle database in new Oracle Home

Hi,
I would like to clone oracle database into new oracle home. How can we set it using OEM.
I am using 10g grid control. Target db is on solaris
Thanks
Naveen

after logging into target database, under maintenance tab, data movement header; ther is "clone database" option. When you click on it; you'll see :
Clone Database uses RMAN to duplicate a database from:
-- An open database in ARCHIVELOG mode, or
-- An open database in NOARCHIVELOG mode (restart required), or
-- A saved working directory from previous cloning
Clone Database performs the following operations:
-- Backup each database file and store it in a working directory
-- Transfer each backup file from source to destination host
-- Restore each backup file to existing destination Oracle Home
-- Recover the cloned database with saved archived log files
-- Open the cloned database with resetlogs
It seems to be for cloning to a different host, but i guess you can chose the same host for source and destination. (I've never used cloning on em by the way :))
But firstly, you should create a new oracle home, you can simply copy your oracle home with a new name (cp -R /oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0 /oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0.new) or make a new installation.
I suggest you to do this cloning with CLI. You should take a full backup with RMAN, copy the oracle home, create a new initNEWSID.ora file and nomount the database, restore (or simply copy) controlfiles, restore database (with set newname commands), recover database, open resetlogs.

How to store image in the oracle database 10.2. using File Maker 10.

Hi.,
I want to store image, media file in the oracle database using File Maker as a front end.
I connect Oracle using odbc from file maker. There are table and in that table there a column "pict" of blob type. but this column is not showing in the file maker.
2. Here I can not change the data type of any column.
Now how to store images in the oracle table using odbc or any other tool.
Regards,
Shyam

I wrote an example for my students, you can find it here. It's using PHP as the front end but all you need to do is know how and leverage the stored procedures. All code is downloadable in zip files from the blog.

Using Oracle Developer Suite 10g Without the Oracle Database

I have never used Oracle, but have used MS SQL Server 7. I need to learn Forms. An Oracle salesperson suggested I download Oracle Developer Suite 10g (the demo product). It includes the Oracle Developer Suite (with Forms Developer), and many other programs.
The salesperson said it includes a database server, but I suspect it does not. I only downloaded the package last night, and have begun to skim the documentation, but I see nothing that looks like a database server.
In SQL Server 7, the database engine is run as a service and you create and manage your tables (do all the database admin stuff) using SQL Enterprise Manager.
So, does this package include a database engine/server? Or must you also have the Oracle Database?
I don't see a demo version of the Oracle Database - is there one?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
The Developer Suite does not contain a demo version of the Oracle Database.
You can download the database from this page:

How to automate the Oracle database start and shutdown process

How we can automate and oracle database start and stop procees with Linux start/shutdown process.
I want to automatically start the oracle database at the time linux server and shutdown the database on shutdown linux server.

Hi,
I can share my scripts:
1) /home/oracle/start_oracle.sh
#Script should be ran as Oracle user
cd /tmp
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/ora9i
lsnrctl start
sqlplus -S /nolog <<ENDSQL
connect / as sysdba
startup
exit
ENDSQL
emctl start dbconsole
isqlplusctl start
NOTE: emctl and isqlplus are optional
2) /home/oracle/stop_oracle.sh
#Script should be ran as Oracle user
cd /tmp
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/ora9i
isqlplusctl stop
emctl stop dbconsole
sqlplus -S /nolog <<ENDSQL
connect / as sysdba
shutdown immediate
exit
ENDSQL
lsnrctl stop
NOTE: emctl and isqlplus are optional
Then what you need:
1) K91oracle_stop (put it in the desired run level)
#!/bin/bash
# description: Stop Oracle before reboots
su - oracle -c "/home/oracle/stop_oracle.sh" >> /home/oracle/stoporacle.log
2) S91oracle_start (put it in the desired run level)
#!/bin/bash
# description: Start Oracle after reboots
su - oracle -c "/home/oracle/start_oracle.sh" >> /home/oracle/startoracle.log
Bye.

How do i connect to the oracle database

I just downloaded oracle 9i from your website. I wanted to know how do I receive or create my own username and password so I can access the oracle database.

Hi,
Two user accounts are automatically created with the database:
SYS (default password: CHANGE_ON_INSTALL)
SYSTEM (default password: MANAGER)
(More info at : http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/server.920/a96521/dba.htm#852)
Both these accounts are database adminstrators. You can use either of these to connect to your database and create more users.
To create new users use this SQL command after connecting to your database
SQL> CREATE USER <username> IDENTIFIED BY <password>
SQL> GRANT CREATE SESSION TO <username>
For more information on creating users refer to http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/server.920/a96521/users.htm#16513
Hope this helps.
Sujatha.

Programming the Oracle Database with Java and Web Services: sample chapter

This will be the first book devoted to Java in the Oracle Database: read the sample chapter @ http://www.oracle.com/technology/books/pdfs/mensah_ch1.pdf
This book also covers the latest Oracle JDBC, Oracle SQLJ, JPublisher and Database Web Services A brief description @
http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/bookdescription.cws_home/706089/description#description
Thanks, Kuassi

Hi Kuassi,
Thanks for letting us know that your book is available. I have been following one of your articles about "Virtualize Your Oracle Database with Web Services". More specifically "The Database as Web Services Consumer". I think that this is an area that has in the past been under estimated as to the potential benefits.
I am currently trying to develop a solution that consumes several interfaces with a couple of them being published web services, so an ideal solution. I have then spent the last three weeks having to read up about the architecture of Java in the database, Jpublisher and make sense of how it all works together.
I have got very close to getting one of the web services to work but failed due to using 10gR2 where all the java & libraries has moved to version 1.5. The solution is to load the jdk1.4.2 and configure jpublisher to use this. So far so good except this is not available on some platforms, Windows - 64 bit (not itanium).
The configuration is proving very challenging but will hopefully reap rewards.
(Thought I would give you some background to my experience).
Anyway my question to you is having looked at Jdeveloper it appears to do almost anything except consume services into the database, also with Java now being at version 1.5 outside the database for 10gR2 and supporting 1.4 inside, do you see some alignment of these in future database releases?
Finally off to buy your book now as no doubt there is a huge amount more to learn.
Kind Regards
