Learn oracle

I want to learn oracle from ground.what can I do?

How to put a question on the site asktom.oracle.com?Be lucky.
Tom (there really is just Tom) is a very busy man and his site usually has a backlog, which means it's almost impossible to post a question. I've managed it once in about five years. The other option is to post a question on an existing thread, but he takes a dim view of irrelevant taggings.
Perhaps a better bet is to ask the question here. We don't have a backlog. Of course the answers are not always up to the high standards of Mr Kyte but we do our best and you'll probably get the correct answer quicker than from Tom. In fact sometimes the answer will be a link to a relevant thread on teh AskTom web site.
Cheers, APC

What are the softwares that I need to learn Oracle Apps- Financial module?

Hi All,
I'm a PL/SQL developer and supposed to learn Oracle Apps - Financial Module from Technical perspective as a part of my new job requirement. So, could you please help me figure out the softwares required to start learning Oracle Apps. ?
I think, I need servers and clients of E-Business Suite & RDBMS (10 g or 11g). I'm afraid whether 200GB of free disk- space & 3 GB RAM on my Desktop may not be sufficient if I install both servers & Clients.
So, please suggest the essential components of E-business Suite and RDBMS I should get to start learning Financial Module considering the above limitation.
All suggestions are welcomed!

How fast is it possible to learn Oracle if I'm proficient in mySQL?

Hi ladies and gents,
I am planning on creating an estate agency website. I have about 3 months to do that. I did computer science in uni, so i know java, c++, SQL, x/html, html, a bit of javascript, css. I bought a PHP and Oracle book.
My question is, considering the fact that I have never created a website with a fully functional database on, how long does it normally take for experience people to create such a site?
If I am a fast learner would I be able to do it in 3 months? I am really scared that I am taking on a challenge that I will not be able to handle. I will be fully committed and obviously will be spending day and night on designing and coding the site.
Finally the most important question I want people to answer is this, if I am already proficient in SQL, will learning Oracle take much time? Can I not do the site with SQL instead of Oracle at the moment?
Massive "Thanks" to any who answers my questions. I am mainly interested in your views so any reply will be welcome.

I've no idea on the project, having never done anything like that myself, but a working knowledge of SQL, whilst handy, isn't the be all and end all of working with a database.
Firstly, you've got to get the design of the database right - normalised tables, primary keys, foreign keys, etc. Getting that right makes the rest of your job much easier!
Secondly, a lot depends on the database you're working with. You'd take a different approach SQL / code wise when using Access than you would when using Oracle. So, you'd have to get familiar with the capabilities of your particular database platform in order to be able to make the best use out of it. (For example, Oracle has a different method of ensuring read consistency than MS SQL Server does, and what you can do in one big SQL statement in Oracle, you would break up into smaller queries and use temporary tables to hold the data.)
Thirdly, the SQL used in each database platform is slightly different - most of it is standard, but there are bolt-ons which are not the same across the databases (eg. in the case of Oracle, how you handle DATEs is not the same as how you'd do it in SQL Server, Sybase, etc.)
If I were you, I'd stick to using something that I knew, rather than trying to learn everything in 3 months! However, if you were wanting to bolt a website onto an Oracle database, I believe APEX could well suit your needs.

Do you recommend me "Learning Oracle 11g Training DVD - Tutorial Video"?

Hi
I found on Amazon "Learning Oracle 11g Training DVD - Tutorial Video by InfiniteSkills". Is it worth it? There are no Amazon reviews :-(
Do you use other video training? What do you recommend me?

I don't know if the video is any good, but Lewis Cunningham is a reasonably well-known authority on Oracle. He talks about the release of the video in his blog, gives a table of contents and a link to some samples:

Need Best way to start learning Oracle 11g DBA

Hi.This is Tejaswi.
I want to learn Oracle 11g DBA.I've downloaded all software's and Documentation for Orcl 11g R2. Now. i want to start Learning DBA. Can any one suggest me the best way to Start learning DBA?
Please suggest me the good books For Oracle Architecture and SQL.......

Hello Tejaswi,
The advice you got about reading the Oracle Concepts and 2 Day DBA documentation is very good advice.
I found that knowing some SQL*Plus and SQL Developer was also very helpful as, they both provide a way to interface with the database and try the things you read about. For SQL Plus, I used the book:
Oracle SQL*Plus: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition
By Jonathan Gennick
Publisher : O'Reilly
ISBN : 0-596-00746-9 I openly recommend it. It is easy to read, the book is very well thought out, it covers what you really need to know (and more too). The author explains the subjects very well. I would definitely learn some SQL Plus and SQL developer before getting into the 2 Day DBA document (make those 2 days about 7 days each if not more).
To learn SQL, I "sort of" used (I say "sort of" because I only read some parts of it available online and at the local bookstore):
Oracle SQL by Example
By Alice Rischert
Publisher: Prentice Hallit probably has more SQL than you'd need as a DBA but, it is an excellent book you may want to consider.
If you are starting from scratch, as I did, you'll find that you need to learn multiple things at the same time. I believe SQL Plus is the best place to start, along with possibly the Concepts document. That will give you a base to build upon.

John.

Suggested books/video series for learning oracle sql?

What are some good books/ videos for a beginner to learn oracle sql?
I learn best by being able to go through exercises.
I am using Oracle 11g express edition and sql developer. In sql developer I have only one connection to the HR schema.
Also, can I connect to the SCOTT schema in oracle 11g?

Hi,
The SQL Language reference is a great book, but its a bit dry for a beginner.
How about starting with the Getting Started and 2 Day guides here
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/index.htm
There are a lot of tutorials here as well
https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=44785:1:0::NO
google will also bring up lots of hits as well

Want to learn oracle financials

Hi folks,
My background is in accounting. I have been working in oralce environment (pl/sql) for the past 1.5 yrs. I would like to learn oracle financials but do have the resources to pay for the class. However, if there is a way to learn by buying and learning from books or if I can download (for a minimal fee) can anyone let me know.
Regards,
Sri

Sri,
I recommend the book "Special Edition: Using Oracle Applications" from QUE Books, available from Amazon.com or other web-book sites. It will cost approximately US $50 +/-. It is a very good overview of each of the applications (Release 10.7 and 11), as well as lots of other information about projects, consulting and consultants, technical issues, etc. Good luck! - Pat

3 weeks into learning Oracle, and I think I am ready for the next step.

Hi all,
I am in need of some suggestions. I have been learning oracle for almost 4 weeks now, and I need to design a database with some real world functionality. I want it to be fairly difficult so that I am able to learn things by being "thrown to the wolves" so to speak. I will be designing it from scratch basically: requirements gathering, ERD and Normalization, Table creation, and then implementing functionality in increments. I know that is a lot on my plate, but I'm sure I can do it with the amount of resources and documentation there is available.
First things first, I will be using Oracle 10g XE as the database software. I am trying to determine what kind of database I want to design though. I really would like to stay away from the traditional/generic databases, if you know what I mean. Or if it is one of the popular starter DBs, then something with a twist maybe. Here is one of the things I have thought about, hopefully some of you guys that respond can shoot some more ideas at me:
Corporate Inventory database for a company that does a lot of field service work with local parts, but would sometimes require parts to be shipped from other locs:
DB would track inventory for all offices throughout company.
Basic users could only view inventory for each office.
Mid-level users could add/remove items at their local office, and request items to be shipped from other offices.
Management-users could add/remove items, request items, and would be able to approve any pending inventory transfers.
DBA - The administrator, can add new users, remove users, and all the other power that comes with being a DBA.
Does something like this seem like a good project? I would be able to address concurrency, error handling (with codes), multiple user types, etc.
Can somebody suggest a front-end for this?
I was thinking to maybe make a JSP/JSF web based service (to be run locally at first) for all of the forms and such and then use the Oracle XE for the back-end. Does anybody think there is something more suitable?
Also, if anybody can think of another DB system to design that may be better to learn from or more interesting, please suggest it.
Best regards to all those positive community members,
Jason

I would like to take this project slow, I mean I do not plan on having this be a working application in 2 weeks. I would like to slowly develop it and move on to each step after the previous step is understood.
Such as, first start by understanding what tables and keys I will be needing in order to have a database which tracks inventory. Then create users that only have certain privileges. Then start to slowly create the functions/procedures and triggers that will be used to perform certain transactions on the database, starting with the most simple ones first. Finally decide on a front-end that will be best for allowing users to perform transactions in a friendly interface.
By no means do I think this is simple, but I do believe if I approach it correctly I can learn a lot. I was basically just hoping the experienced users in this community could help me understand the best approach and some basic ideas I may need to understand about developing a project like this.

I want to learn oracle

Dears i want to learn oracle DBA i m already good in PL/SQL tell me from where i can get daily lesson. plz help me.

Hello,
For Oracle Applications there is another forum:
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=11
For Learning Oracle Application Server, I'd start with the Oracle Documentation:
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25221_04/index.htm
Look at the "Getting Started" Tab with all of the Quick Installation Guides for your platform. Learn what the different types of installations are and figure out what you need to do what you want.
Once you have an installation and have the basics, there is a certification track for Oracle Application Server that may be a good way to organize your learning.
See Oracle Certifications for more details: Exam#1Z0-311 Oracle Application Server 10g: Administration - http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=60#1

Here's a step-by-step on how to consume and invoke a web service from Oracle BPM:
Consuming web services in Studio requires only a WSDL file or URL and Studio then generates all of the appropriate external resources to access it within the PBL.
1. Access http://www.xmethods.net in your web browser.
2. Click Full List.
3. Search for getRandomBushism and click on it.
4. Select and copy the string http://greg.froh.ca/fun/random_bushism/soap/?wsdl to the clipboard
5. Create a new module in the Catalog called “WebSvcs” (open the “Project” flap ->expand the Catalog -> right mouse click “Calalog” ->click “New Module” -> name the new module “WebSvcs”).
6. Right-click the WebSvcs module and select Catalogue Component -> Web Service.
7. Paste the URL saved previously in the clipboard to the WSDL Address field.
8. Click the Next button. Studio will then introspect the WSDL file across the Internet and load the appropriate definitions into the Catalog and External Resources.
9. In Studio, open a process and create an interactive activity named “Get Thought For The Day” in any of roles.
10. Open the method for the activity (double click it) and drag the getRandomBushism( ) method you just exposed from the catalog to the PBL to invoke the service.
11. Modify the logic slightly so it looks like the logic shown below.
randomBushism as WebSvcs.Wsdl.RandomBushism = WebSvcs.Wsdl.RandomBushism()
getRandomBushism(RandomBushismService, out result : randomBushism)
// this display statement should not be used in production
// - it's used here just to show you the result in the easiest way
display randomBushism.bushism12. Right mouse click anywhere in the white space of the logic and click Run This. You should see the result of your call to the web service returned.

Learning Oracle!

I am in the process of learning Oracle,
I have created a Table with one of the column as a Primary, now i want to remove the Primary Key Constraint, should i drop and re-create the Table, or can i drop the column alone and re-create the column, how do i do?

hi!
you can just drop the Primary key constraint.
**alter table table_name drop primary key;**
or u can use the below syntax:
**alter table table_name drop constraint <constraint_name>**
note: u can see the constraint_name from the
user_constraints view
select constraint_name from
user_constraints
where table_name like 'TABLE_NAME'
Hope this helps

Learning Oracle BI Apps.

Hi,
At present am working on OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 and interested learning Oracle BI Apps. Please give your valuable suggestions and links like how and where to start.
Thanks,
Anitha.B

BI Apps is more about the functional side and less at development.
As part of development you can refer this link
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E20490_01/bia.7963/e19039/toc.htm
to configure any of the module we need functional guy or else source system developer at least with that specific module expertise..
All the best, if helps pls mark
