Is this syntax for oracle database?

Does the syntax below indicates that the developer is using oracle database?
PreparedStatement updt = db.prepareStatement("insert into tablename values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)");
updt.setInt(1, number);
updt.setInt(2, 1);
updt.setString(3, staffName);
updt.setString(4, description);
updt.setDate(5, today);

Oh...
but when I use microsoft access, it didn't seems to work
error is:
SQL data type out of array
the PreparedStatement and it's associate syntax don't work with ODBC?

Current Patch Set for Oracle Database Release 11.2

Hi
I am upgrading oracle 10G to 11GR2 in AIX 5.3 Environment with SAP ECC6 , I have just just installled Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 according to the "Database Upgrade Guide -Upgrade to Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2): UNIX". After database software installation , in upgrade manual in section 3.4.4 it says, you need to install current patch set for oracle database 11g R2 and referencing a SAP note 1431799.
I have just read note 1431799 which says Current Patch Set for Oracle Database Release 11.2 is not generally available for SAP customers until December 2010, also I donu2019t find the note 1522330 as mentioned in 1431799.
Please let me know how I can get current patch set to apply with Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 (Is it in SAP service market place?)
I also want to upgrade my installation to oracle 11.2.0.2, please let me know where I get the patch set to upgrade from 11.2.0.1.0 to 11.2.0.2,
or
I have to live with 11.2.0.1.0 and apply SAP Bundle Patch ( SBP)

Abu Al MAmun,
I understand from your posts that you recently upgraded to 11.2.0.2.
I am having the same difficulty, of finding the current patch set for 11.2. Could you please let me know how you worked around it?
Thanks,
Siri
Hello Everyone,
I did read the post on to how you have to install the current patch set for 11.2.
But honestly, it pretty much flew over my head.
I am trying to upgrade our SAP AIX 64 bit test system from Oracle 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.2.
And so far I have downloaded all the required sw for the upgrade, except for the current patch set 11.2.
This is what I have right now:
1) Oracle 11.2 AIX 64 bit upgrade sw - 51038805_part 1 to 51038805_part 7 and 51039800.
2) Database Patches -->Oracle 11.2.0.2 -->
All they have here is
a. Database RDMBS - SAP_112020_201012_AIX.zip and b. SAP_112020_201101_AIX.zip
b. OPatch - OPatch_11201_Generic_v3.zip and mopatch-2_1_6.zip
c. Database Vault - DV - >Generic - p9656644_112020_Generic.zip
If I am not wrong, the Database RDBMS files are nothing but the SAP Bundle Patches that have to be installed after installing the currrent patch set 11.2.0.2 using MOPatch.
But I did not find the currrent patch set 11.2.0.2.
Could someone please explain the process to me in detail? This being my first time , I am finding it a bit hard to catch up with some of the stuff.
Thank You!
Siri

How to set JDBC Data Sources in Oracle MapViewer for Oracle database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1)

How to set JDBC Data Sources in Oracle MapViewer for Oracle database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1)?
The following is my configuration in the conf\mapViewerConfig.xml:
<map_data_source name="mvdemo12"
jdbc_host="127.0.0.1"
jdbc_sid="orcl12c1"
jdbc_port="1522"
jdbc_user="mvdemo"
jdbc_password="7OVl2rJ+hOYxG5T3vKJQb+hW4NPgy9EN"
jdbc_mode="thin"
number_of_mappers="3"
allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="true"
editable="true"/>

But it does not work.
After use "sqlplus mvdemo/[email protected]:1522/pdborcl", it connected to the Oracle database 12c.
Does anyone know it?
Thanks,

For 11.1.1.7.1 use the syntax for jdbc_sid, i.e.
//mypdb1.foo.com as described in the README,
- MapViewer native (non-container) data sources can now use database service name in place of SID. To supply a db service name, you will use the same jdbc_sid attribute, but specify the service name with double slashes in front, such as follows:
<map_data_source name="myds"
 jdbc_host="foo.com"
 jdbc_sid="//mypdb1.foo.com"
 jdbc_port="1522"
/>
For 11.1.1.7.0 use a container_ds instead.
i.e. instead of using
<map_data_source name="my_12c_test"
 jdbc_host="mydbinstance"
 jdbc_sid="pdborcl12c"
 jdbc_port="1522"
 jdbc_user="mytestuser"
 jdbc_password="m2E7T48U3LfRjKwR0YFETQcjNb4gCMLG8/X0KWjO00Q="
 jdbc_mode="thin"
 number_of_mappers="6"
 allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="false"
 editable="false"
 />
use
<map_data_source name="my_12c_test"
 container_ds="jdbc/db12c"
 number_of_mappers="6"
 allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="false"
 editable="false"
 />
In my case the Glassfish 3.1.2.2 JDBC connection pool definition was
Property
url jdbc:oracle:thin:@mydbinstance:1522/pdborcl12c.rest_of.service.name
Uncheck the Wrap JDBC Objects option in Advanced panel, i.e. the Edit JDBC Connection Pool Advanced properties page.
Add a JDBC resource for that newly created pool
Use that in mapviewerconfig.xml as above

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?
Please be respectful of people's comments. Many of us are professionals with decades of experience working with databases and Oracle technology. We volunteer our valuable time and knowledge here for free. It is extremely common for someone to post what they feel is an easy SQL or PL/SQL question without stating the real goal--the business objective. Experienced people will spot that the "wrong question" has been asked, and then cut to the chase.
We have some good questions for you. Not questions we need answers from, but questions you need to ask yourself and your team. You need to reexamine this post and deduce what those questions are. But I'll give you some hints: Why do you need to do what you are asking? And will this construct you are asking for even solve the root cause of your problems?

Server Sizing For Oracle Database

Hi All,
I need a server sizing for the below mentioned architecture:
This application is basically for logistics company which we are planing to host it centrally with two server's one server for application and one for oracle database along with DR site (Other Location). There are four locations and each location will have 20 users who are going to access this application (20 x 4= 80 Users). We are using MPLS network of 35 mbps bandwidth.
1. Application server: Windows server 2008 R2
2. Database Server: Windows server 2008 R2, Oracle 11g r2
I need a server sizing documents.
Thanks........

Thanks........I'd seriously reconsider hosting Oracle db on Windows. Obviously there are many, many shops that do. And obviously it is often a case of the fact that they do not have (and choose to not acquire) expertise in Linux. But I've been in IT for 30+ years and have worked on IBM S-370 and its variants and descendents, Windows since v3, DEC VMS, IBM OS/2, Solaris, AIX, HPUX, and Oracle Linux. The first Oracle database I ever created was on Windows 3.11 and at that point I had never seen *nix. Now I am in a position to state that Windows is the worst excuse of an operating system of any I have ever used. I am constantly amazed/amused by how often (at least once a month on schedule, plus unplanned times) that our Windows SA has to send out a notice that he is re-booting his servers. I can't remember the last time we had to reboot a Linux server ( I have 4 of them)
Yes, I'm biased away from Windows, but that bias comes from experience. Hardly a day goes by that I don't see something that causes me to say to whoever is in earshot "have I told you how much I hate Windows?"I was going to refrain from commenting on that, as I assumed they're a Windows shop and aren't open to any other OS (but my assumption could be incorrect).
I haven't been working in IT for as long as many of the folks around here, only about 10 years. I'm a former system admin that maintained both Linux and Windows servers, but my focus was on Windows. In the right hands, Windows can be rock solid. If a system admin has to reboot Windows servers often, he is most likely doing something wrong, or is rebooting for security updates. It's never as simple as "Windows Sucks," or "Linux Sucks;" it all depends on who's running the system (again, in my opinion).
I have seen some windows servers run uninterrupted for so long no one could remember the admin password. But more often memory leaks and the "weekly update" (replacing last weeks bugs with this weeks) is the culprit.
Yes, it really is sad how often you have to reboot for updates if you want to keep your system current. Mind you, it's better to have the fixes then to not have them (maybe). I rebooted my servers about once every month at my old place... which is not that bad.
With that said, in my experience, Oracle on Windows is a major pain. It takes me much longer to do anything. Once you get proficient with a CLI like the bash shell, the Windows GUI can't compare.Agreed. One of my many complaints about Windows is the poor excuse of a shell processor. I'm pretty proficient in command line scripting, but still cringe when I have to do it. Practically every line of code I write for a command script is accompanied by the remark "this is so lame compared to what I could do with a shell script". Same for vi vs. notepad. But my real problem is the memory leaks and the registry. I'm fairly comfortable hacking certain areas of the registry, but the need to and the arcane linkages between different areas of the registry and how they influence 'process environment' remains a mystery to all but a tiny minority of admins. Compare to *nix where everything is well documented and "knowable".
One (of many) anecdotal experiences, this with my personal Win7 laptop. One time it crashed and refused to reboot. A bit of a google search turned up some arcane keystroke sequence to put it into some sort of recovery mode on bootup .. similar to getting into the bios, but the keystroke sequence was much more complex .. it may have involved standing on one foot while entering the sequence. Anyway, it entered a recovery process I've never seen before or since and repaired everything. My first thought was "hey, that was pretty cool." Then my second thought was 'but only Windows would need such a facility.
Bottom line? To paraphrase a famous Tom Hanks character, "My momma always said Windows was like a box of chocolates. You never know just what you'll get."Haha... I like that one. Yes, the registry is definitely horrible. It's amazing to me that a single point of failure was Microsoft's answer to INI files.
I think Windows and nix have their places. Server work definitely seems more productive to me in a nix environment, but I think I'd jump off a cliff if I had to use it as my desktop environment day-in-day-out. The other problem is application lock-down; I can't blame the OS for that, but it's a reality... and using virtualization to run those applications seems to defeat the point to me.

Compression for oracle database and index compression during import of data

Hi All,
I have a query , in order to import into oracle database and also have compression and index compression , do we have some kind of load args for r3load and also do we have to change the tpl file ?

Hello guy,
I did this kind of compression within migration project before.
I performed index compress first and then export -> import with table compress.
One thing you should take care, delete nocompress flag from TARGET.SQL (created by program SMIGR_CREATE_DDL, program SMIGR_CREATE_DDL created pure non-compression objects for these considered non-standard tables). For table columns > 255, we should not delete this flag.
Regarding to the index compress in source system, please check the following notes:
Note 1464156 - Support for index compression in BRSPACE 7.20
Note 1109743 - Use of Index Key Compression for Oracle Databases
Note 682926 - Composite SAP note: Problems with "create/rebuild index"

When I increase storage for Oracle database

Hi, Gurus
We start and golive SAP one year ago, Now
my oracle databes usage is 68% like below from ST04.
Size: 308.09 GB Total size: 400.39 GB 
Free Size: 97.27 GB Total free size: 189.57 GB 
Used: 68 % Total used: 53 % 
This storage usage at UNIX level 
/dev/vx/dsk/eccprd-dg/sapdata1 100G 72G 26G 74% /oracle/PRD/sapdata1 
/dev/vx/dsk/eccprd-dg/sapdata3 100G 80G 19G 82% /oracle/PRD/sapdata3 
/dev/vx/dsk/eccprd-dg/sapdata4 100G 68G 30G 70% /oracle/PRD/sapdata4 
/dev/vx/dsk/eccprd-dg/sapdata2 100G 89G 10G 90% /oracle/PRD/sapdata2 
When I must increase storage size because it to much usage 90% ?
Or wait 90++ % all drive.
Thank for all comment.

Hi Witoon,
What you need to do for monitoring space for oracle Database is to proactively monitor tablespaces of the databases.
This can be easily done with the help of BRtools . It is safe to keep the used tablespace < 85 % to avoid any kind of tablespace issues. If any major loading process is to started then the free space of the table space should be adjusted accordingly.
Out of several tablespaces present in the Oracle DB few are made by Oracle for example
SYSTEM
PSAPUNDO
SYSAUX
PSAPTEMP
TOOLS
Leaving the above mentioned tablespaces you need to monitor the tablespaces whose sizes are changing.
When you increase the size of the tablespace then more space is allocated on the disk in the form of datafile for that tablespace so before increasing the size of the tablespace you need to check the free space on the disk
Use df -h (Linux command) for checkin the diskspace on linux server.
Thanks
Aditya

Configure Xiotech storage for Oracle database

Our db is 10.2.0.3 RAC db with 2 nodes of MS Window 2003 servers. We just purchased a new storage Xiotech Emprise 7000 for database usage and I would like to get any information related how to better configure this kind of storage for Oracle database. Such as how big the logical volumes should be and how many disks you be included in them?
Thanks a lot for your input,
Shirley

Since you are using RAC, you'd better configure storage to use ASM.
Using Automatic Storage Management
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/storeman.htm#ADMIN10181
It looks like Xiotech only support fiber channel connection. as to how big the volumes should be and how many disks that really depends on your requirement. You might just create a set of LUNs and create ASM diskgroups on top of them.

Is RAID 5 not recommended for Oracle database ?

- I am planning to install Oracle database
Here are the specs:
- Dell PowerEdge T610 server
- Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit )
- 24 GB memory
- Oracle 10g database (64-bit database)
- Our database is for an ERP based client server application
- Will have around 35-45 users
- Will have around 150-200 transaction per day ( 8AM-5PM) only database
- database would be around 10-15GB (data files)
Now I am planning to buy the hardware server, I heard that RAID 5 is not recommended for Oracle database.
Is it true ?
What do you recommended for Oracle database ? RAID 5 (or) RAID 1

johnpau2013 wrote:
I heard that RAID 5 is not recommended for Oracle database.
Is it true ?Kind off... as Oracle (as per the RAC Starter Kits for example) explicitly recommends SAME - as in Stripe And Mirror Everything.
This is a combination of RAID1 and RAID0.
However, you will also get whitepapers from storage vendors like EMC in partnership with Oracle, that explains how to configure and use RAID5 storage and how effective this is. And as some will tell you, RAID5 can work just fine with Oracle... and some others will grimace and tell you how bad an idea that is from personal experiences.
In a nutshell - RAID5 requires a parity calculation on each write. That is a very expensive overhead if that calculation impacts the fwrite() (file write) command of a process writing data to disk. It significantly slows down the write operation.
However, if that parity calculation is done asynchronously and does not effect the elapsed time for a fwrite(), then a fwrite() to RAID5 is as fast or as slow as it would be to RAID10 for example.
Unsure how many modern storage system supports off-loading the parity calculation and not impacting the write I/O call. This can be done using ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), specialised s/w on the storage server, etc.
Whatever you put in place - test the RAID config thoroughly up front and ensure that performance is up to specs. There's a utility called fio (Flexible I./O) written by a Linux kernel hacker that works for Oracle. It is an excellent utility to use to generate and test I/O - but it is Linux and Unix based.
Any specific reason using Windows? Linux is by far a more predominant 64bit operating system than Windows, and has significant higher market share in Oracle RDBMS than Windows. Given the fact that over 93% of the 500 fastest computer systems on this planet runs Linux, I'm always kind of amazed that some would still use Windows as a server-side o/s for Oracle.

I'm evaluating OVM and OL for building a small private cloud and - at this stage of the evaluation - am primarily focused on making sure that I understand the licensing requirements of Oracle virtualization.
The Oracle® VM Installation and Upgrade Guide for Release 3.1.1 states that...
Oracle VM Manager includes a restricted-use license of the
Oracle Database (Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition) for use as
the Oracle VM Manager Management Repository only. The supported
version of Oracle Database are...
Am I understanding this correctly? Does this mean that, for the purposes of implementing Oracle VM Manager, it will not be necessary to purchase a license for Oracle Database (11g) Standard Edition?

LDOM for Oracle database

We have T5440. We will be creating 5 LDOMS on this. Each LDOM will host Oracle database server. This is for functional testing purpose only. No performance test will be performed on this setup.
Four ISCSI LUNs (500 GB each) are attached to this machine. Our system administrator has created two zpool for these LUNS. Each machine will be given two virtual disk (one for data and one for OS) from these zpool.
Write cache will not be disabled at scsi level or at zpool level or even at guest OS filesystem (UFS) level.
My question - Is this the right way to configure disks for LDOMs running oracle database? [I know we will not be performing any performance test but oracle database server running on these machines should be usable enough]
Thanks
