Just a dummy question

Please , help me get through the following:
In the licensing manner do I need to be on Oracle Enterprise Edition to use the Tuning Pack? when you're on standard Edition?
My answer is no.
But my boss insist if I'm sure, that's why I need other eyes to confim my assertion.
Thanks enough

Hi Justin,
Plz excuse me if I am wrong, but aren't there command
line scripts designed to be run from within sqlplus
that provide the same reports as using the AWR (GUI)
interface? Such as awrrpt.sql, awrinfo.sql, and
ashrpt.sql? Are these restricted only for use with
EE, or can they be used (legally) with SE?As has been made clear, you touch it, you buy it. And they are watching.
I haven't tried the scripts, but if you google for oracle s-ash [correction: "s-ash" with the quotes] there is a very interesting simulated ash which doesn't violate anything as far as I know.

As for the comment regarding buying a car and not
being able to exceed certain speeds: T his is
becoming more popular, even with hardware. Some
vendors (such as HP) will sell you a server loaded
with CPUs, but you are only allowed to configure the
number of CPUs that you purchased and pay support on.Heck, even some cars are sold for different prices. A few years ago, certain cars were made from the same parts on the same assembly line by the same people (just minor interior fabric differences and stinking badges), and people were convinced the Toyotas were better than the Chevrolets.
Now the licensing is sometimes based on sockets, not whether there is anything in the sockets!
Ask a dummy question, the answer may be insane.

  • Just a technical question

    Hi,
    I'm not a developer but I wanted to ask here since I presume there're a lot more tech savvy people that could possibly give me a proper answer to just one small question regarding behavior of Mac OS X using the following example: at some moment I suddenly discovered that the Trackpad option which allows for search through the English Dictionary (Thesaurus, etc) tapping a highlighted word with three fingers no longer worked as before: when I tapped nothing happened or other word was "processed" in what seemed to me to be a chaotic order. I reset PRAM and its normal functioning returned. What exactly happened with the system that it started act incorrectly until the PRAM reset? I remember though that some days ago (before I discovered the issue) I did one more SMC and PRAM reset and performing the latter I released the combination of keys after the third chime. I then thought that it was too much so I repeated the operation exactly as recommended. Could the repetitive reset of PRAM be the reason and kind of shock to the OS?
    Would be happy to hear your opinions
    Have a nice day   

    Are you sure you haven;t turn it off in System Preferences->TrackPad;Point & Click?
    There it is called Lookup

    Whenever I ask Siri a question it just links me to a website instead of just saying the answer.  The reason I ask Siri is because i am not in a position to look at my phone.  How can I get Siri to just answer my questions??

    I found that the only time Siri will read anything to you is if it finds a Wikipedia article. Siri will let you know it found that, and ask if you want it to be read out loud. Other than that you will hear the "I found this, take a look".
    The only other thing you can do is activate "Speak Screen". It will involve you taking a look at your phone for a moment, selecting what you'd like to look at, but Siri will read the content to you. It's in Settings > General > Accessibility.  Once activated, all you have to do is slide two fingers from the top of the screen and you will have it read to you. I use it all the time because of my astigmatism. It's pretty useful.

    Not in the Safari browser she can't. That is not supported on the iPad. There are other mobile browsers that do have that functionality - one is iCab Mobile.

  • Apple newbie with dummy question

    I have a question about my 3 day old Core Duo. I'm connecting just fine and love my machine, but before I go paying bills/banking/etc online, I want to make sure my connection is secure. I'm connecting wirelessly via a Lynksis WRT54G router. The very first time I turned this bad-boy on, it asked for a password to the network, but hasn't since. I'm afraid I may have "keychained" the password or opened the network to everyone or something. Is there a way to check? I chatted with an agent, and they said since it was a third party thing (Lynksis), they couldn't answer. All I want to make sure of, is that my connection is secure with either WPA/WEP. I don't even know what that means, I just know it makes it secure! Again - first time Apple user (unless you count my Dad's IIC when I was 8) - so please assume I'm a dummy when you reply!
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hello Matt
    Goto your router's config at http://192.168.1.1 the default user is admin and the password is admin
    goto the wireless tab then wireless security. Make sure your using WPA-PSK and NOT WEP.
    WEP is easily cracked WPA is a lot more secure.
    The first time you connect to a wireless network you do have the option to add the password to the keychain, this is normal and does not have any security problems.
    To check to see if you had added your wirless network password to your keychain open up the keychain Access found in /Applications/Utilities
    You can then see a list of all the keychain entries you may see your wireless network listed in there.

  • Just installed iOS6, questions about "iMessage" and other things...

    I've been a satisfied iOS4 user since I bought my iPhone4, but I was forced to install iOS6 tonight in order to download a "free" app. I found a few new icons on the screen along with about 200 percent more "Settings" I'd like to ask some questions about. I'm sure a few of these could be answered by doing a frantic and thorough search through weeks of posts but I'm a little short on time right now.
    First, what exactly is iMessage? Looking at the page for it, I can't see any difference between it and regular text messages. The info page says its to avoid charges, but between my data plan and not being charged for text I don't see where theres any other benefit. The one person I text with the most recently asked me why I had not installed iMessage yet, and didn't have an answer when I asked him why I should. I guess he just wanted to see text replies in blue instead of green.
    In a related bit, flipping through Settings>Messages>Send & Receive I find a "2 addresses" section, with my phone number in there as well as my email under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" and "Start new conversations from:". What good does it do iMessages to have my email address? Does the Mail app handle text as well as email addresses? That seems to be the only explanation, and also very odd to think I'd be trying to text through my Mail app.
    Second, looking through the Settings>Mail I see now that I have an icloud email address as well as the mac.com address I've been desperately hanging on to for the past 10 years, and the me.com address they've been trying to force me into since those came out. (I was happy to see I could delete the me.com address from the phone. I wish I could delete it from the universe.)
    I wasn't even aware there was a such thing as icloud.com addresses. When did this happen? What is it used for?
    Third, under that icloud Setting I see a long list of apps with buttons labeled "Off" under it. What are those for? Under the Mac.com settings I see switches for "Mail" and "Notes", with Mail on and Notes off. The Notes app (which I haven't used since my old iPhone 3) still opens, regardless of this setting.
    Fourth, I now have an item called "Facetime" under my Settings. It is off, but underneath it says "Your phone number and/or email address will be shared with people you call". I understand caller ID normally sends caller number info to the receiver, but why would someone need my email address if I call them?
    Fifth, I now have a "Music" setting, at the bottom of which I see a "Home Sharing" item, which when clicked brings up my AppleID and asks me if I want to Sign Out or Cancel. What is Home Sharing? Its also at the bottom of the "Video" settings.
    Sixth, now I have Twitter and Facebook settings? For what? I don't have accounts with either of those companies. So why have settings, especially since it asks me to create accounts and download apps for those companies right in the Settings?
    Seventh, there is a camera icon on the unlock screen. Touching it causes the screen to bounce up about a quarter inch, almost but not quite revealing something behind it. I should probably just quit asking about this stuff already, but I'll take the bait - what is this now?
    Finally, what is the Notification Center used for?
    If I got a text under iOS4, it would put an alert on the Unlock screen. Scrolling through this huge list of things under the Notification settings I'm really blown away by all the apps set up to yell at me. I can see having an alert for a text message but Game Center? What the heck is that, and why is it set up to hit me with a "Badge App Icon" (whatever that is) when I get alerts from "Everyone". Similarly, the phone is set to alert me to something called a "Photostream Alert"? What is this? Why is there a Phone section for the Notification Center? So they can put a Notice on my screen to tell me the phone is ringing? Holy cow! The phone is set to send me alerts from the "Weather Widget". So if I miss the fact its raining there will be a message on my screen to let me know? Whats next - a buzzer to tell me I'm listening to music?
    There's a lot more, like what would I need Passbook for when I have the actual movie tickets, gate boarding passes, coupons, etc in my hands, but we'll leave that for another time. Many thanks to all who can offer some answers to my questions above.

  • Not just a Mini question...

    I've been a proud owner of the low end G4 Mini model from the original release date on. I've been looking into moving onto the Intel platform and it looks like a 2.0GHZ Intel Mini is in my near future. That said I have some questions, and couldn't find an Apple Store discussion board so I hoped someone here would have some answers.
    1. If I were to want Leopard on it's release would I be able to buy a Mac Mini IN an Apple Store on (or around) the same day it releases and get it for free as it's now Apple's main OS?
    2. If I were to purchase a Mini at an Apple Store that is hundreds of miles from my house and something was to go wrong with the hardware would I have to return to that Apple store to fix it? Or could I just go through Apple directly as I have done with products bought on their website?
    The reason I ask is because there is no Apple Store anywhere near my home but I will be thousands of miles away in Orlando Florida when Leopard launches (I've been told on or around October 26th). I'd love to be able to go into the Apple Store there and get one that day. Please, someone must know the answers to my questions, specifically number 1.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    1. If I were to want Leopard on it's release would I be able to buy a Mac Mini IN an Apple Store on (or around) the same day it releases and get it for free as it's now Apple's main OS?
    If you buy a new Mac at any point after Leopard's actual release, you are entitled to a copy of it. If it is not included with the system (if the system were in stock already for example and thus had Tiger pre-installed and supplied with it) you would be able to ask for a copy of Leopard, and there would usually be no charge for that. If you were to purchase slightly earlier, before Leopard was in circulation but after Apple has announced it's release date, there is usually a program to allow you to obtain a copy of the new OS version at the cost of media and/or mailing only.
    2. If I were to purchase a Mini at an Apple Store that is hundreds of miles from my house and something was to go wrong with the hardware would I have to return to that Apple store to fix it? Or could I just go through Apple directly as I have done with products bought on their website?
    You don't need to take your mini back to the store from which it came. You can get service support from any Apple approved service provider, and support from Apple by calling them. If the hardware was faulty and needed to be returned for service, you would simply call Apple and they will arrange it.

  • Just a few questions about DVD Ripping and Final Cut 6

    Ok,
    Here is my first major concern. I have a wedding that I cut on the Final Cut Studio. After I burnt it to a DVD, I erased the main footage. However, the groom wanted to add something so I went into my backup files to get the information but just so happens that my backup hard drive crashed and it will not recognize on any Mac. (Tried 3 different Macs including 2 PowerMac G5’S and a Power Mac G4) Anyway all I have no is the DVD. I was wondering if anyone knew any good ripping software that I can rip this DVD back to a QuickTime. I have tried a few programs but the quality is just horrible.
    My next question is does anyone know when Final Cut Pro 6 is shipping?

    Did you lose your autosave vault with the crash? You could open your autosave and grab the last cut and do a media manager capture so you wouldn't have to re-edit or capture all of the media again.
    Also, there are people who can get the info off the drive for a modest fee. If this was a paying gig, consider it part of the cost of having done the project. If the groom was satisfied and the project was complete, I guess you could argue that an extra fee is in order if he wants a different version after the final version was already delivered and agreed upon. Otherwise you kind of owe it to him to do whatever it takes to give him a final output.
    Make a backup tape as well next time. That way you can recapture and add, then re-backup and re-compress. Lots of re-ings.

  • Just a few questions...

    This is concerning iPad, but it is also concerning Apple devices as a whole. Now, don't get me wrong. I absolutely love Apple and will most likely never switch to another device, be it phone, MP3 player or tablet (can't afford a Mac yet, but that's my goal one day). However, I am curious as to why its user-friendliness is not as user-friendly as other devices, such as Android. With Motorola, Android, Windows, you are allowed to change everything as you wish, such as text message alerts, new mail alerts, etc. Yet with Apple devices, you are forced to just deal with whatever sounds and themes they offer. Like with my Android phone I used to have, and Blackberry as well, I was able to change the theme, text alerts, etc. But when I updated to the iPhone 4, I could only change the ringtone alert and had to make do with the text alerts that came with the phone. I also do not care for the new mail alert with iPad and wish to change that, but unfortunately cannot. Now, I know that if you jailbreak Apple devices, it unlocks all these cool features that one would assume were included in a 500+ dollar device. I am just curious as to whether anyone here would think that Apple might grow to be less strict concerning their devices one day or are we stuck with whatever they think we need? This again is not a rant or anything or hatred towards Apple devices, but a question as to why they did not make their devices more personal. I am happy with my devices, but sometimes I wish I could do more, without voiding the warranty like jailbreaking does.

    I have been reading that there will be changes coming in the next iOS 5, however it really is speculation at this point and until Apple unveils anything we won't know for sure.
    I use my devices for it's media purposes because that is the field I work within. The points you brought up don't really make much difference to me. I find Apple devices very user friendly, what you are referring to is a more personable/unique device tailored to you.
    Now I don't disagree a lot of people would like to do that but no one can speak for apple and that is not really what these discussion boards are for.

  • Just a comment/question on OS upgrades (VZW/Sprint).

    First, the question:
    I upgraded the 8330 Curve OS to 4.5 on a friend's device (VZW).  No problem, everything seems to work as near as he can tell, but for some reason it is very laggy...I searched and couldn't find a specific answer to the question.
    What he reported as laggy was opening pics in the phone.  I then learned that his device did not come with a micro SD, and he has saved all of his pictures to the device memory.  How would the new OS affect this, when he had no problems or issues with this on the old OS?  I suggested he purchase an 8g micro sd hc, and get all of that garbage off of the internal memory. 
    Also, I did not see the "docs to go" app anywhere, wondered if that was supposed to be an icon or an application - either way it isn't there.
    Now, the comment:
    On this and several other sites, I've seen the virtual frothing at the mouth for everyone that wants to upgrade to the "latest and greatest" OS.  (Which by the way, I am crediting to the election of Barack Obama.) I have learned a lot through research, and I understand that each vendor puts out the version when they finish testing, etc...
    I also understand that people will delete vendor xml's to load another carrier's 4.5, but now I see that they have released like .89 already, when everyone was so crazy to get .77 (which appears to even have some issues). 
    Isn't there a better way?
    As a regular, non-tekkie kind of guy, I get awful confused when RIM says they've released 4.5, only to be frustrated for 12 hours with my Sprint device trying to upload it because it hasn't yet been released by Sprint.  Does it support MMS, does it not support MMS? Who do I find out officially from whether it supports MMS?  It seems as though all of these instructions breed nothing but more questions and problems.  When non-tekkies look for answers, they want to simply click a button - update complete, works great.  Not the case with the new OS frenzy, and it seems every site has a different answer, different supposition, and repeatedly has to create new threads because people can't seem to find the "SEARCH" feature.
    I appreciate truly, all of the help I've received here just for a few minor issues that I've had, but doesn't providing "instructional material" for us nontechnical morons, just an exercise in creating another "HELP, I'VE NUKED MY BERRY" thread?
    Okay, deep breaths.
    [/rant]
    On another note, I've had BB's since my clunky NEXTEL 75xx series. Then an 8703e. I never knew the capability of the device until I immersed myself in it.  I've converted my best buddy (pocket POS user for years), my wife (pocket POS owner and loather), my sis and brother in law - all to 8330's and all have repeated resoundingly the comment that I have made for years:  A BB will change your life.
    And I can't believe how many co-workers of my wife (an RN) who have bought BB's and absolutely HATE them, until she shows them (thru messenger to me on how to fix or use something) just what they can do.
    I sure hope I haven't wasted anyone's time with this post, and hope I'm not violating some term of service for ranting like a nut.  Just had to get that off my chest.
    Have a great day.
