Learning Oracle Database will help Oracle programming

Dear All , Hi
did learning Oracle9i Database help in better understanding of Oracle Programming? pls. reply. i thank you all
regards,
Khalil

Hi Khalil,
Not sure what programming language you want to learn about.
If you are referring to sql and pl/sql Oracle 9i would serve you fine.
If you are referring to Oracle Data Mining APIs (java in particular), I would just note that they have changed significantly but you could still learn from using them.
Thanks, Mark

  • Any programming language is required to learn oracle

    Hi,
    Could you pls advice me that do we learn any programming languange before learning oracle and work on that? with out any programming cannot we learn oracle?? bcz i am very intereste to learn oracle but i dont know any programming language. pls advice

    First of all, you might want to consider that Oracle is the world's largest 'enterprise software' company, with many many many products. Therefore it would be useful to define the context - which products are you thinking about when you ask such a question.
    Second, as others have pointed out, you will get a better answer when asking in an 'in-context' forum.
    For example, if you are talking about databases, you might ask in the Database forum and find out that the primary languages are SQL, PL/SQL and Java (in that order) and secondary languages can include PERL, PHP, HTTP, and so on. However, if you are asking about Oracle Portal in the App Server forums, you would finf d out you could be quite happy with HTTP and Javascript. JDeveloper, as a Java IDE discussed in the development tools forum, encourages you to know Java but also be comfortable with JSP. SOA, in the SOA forum, encourages understanding of BPEL (yes, it is a language) as well as XML and Web Services.
    You could, however, use this forum - or the Oracle Wiki - to help you understand what area you are interested in so you could ask in the right forums. <g>

  • Newbie Trying to restore Oracle database. please help

    Hi All,
    I am a newbie who is trying to restore Oracle database, I currently use RMAN to backup the database, but the database needs to be restored onto a test server, I'm not quite sure of what I need to do or where I need to start here.
    I currently backup the following
    SPfile
    ControlFile
    Datafile
    Archive Log
    If someone can point me in the right direction or maybe a link to a website, I would be very grateful.
    Thanks.

  • Ask for a way to learn Oracle and Developer 2000. HELP PLEASE!!

    Hi,
    I want to learn Oracle database and developer 2000. So I need the softwares.I am going to download
    1. Oracle Forms Developer/Server Release 6i for Windows NT
    2. Oracle8i Personal Edition on NT
    Before download them, I want to know if they can work together. I am in Australia, do you know where I can get the free softwares, or with lower price.
    If you have another way for self-training, please let me know.
    Thanks in advance.
    Sue

    They do work together, though the installation process is moderately complicated. You may want to check this web site: http://www.chow1.myweb.nl/
    This site has some experiences and procedures that have worked in the past for this combination.
    You should also check Amazon.com or your local tech bookstore for books on Developer.

    SirajSiraj,
    I second to Someoneelse's reply that you must start with that product version which is supported now and will be supported in the future , atleast for some time. This includes both 10g , 11g and both are freely available for download at http://otn.oracle.com.
    That said, for anyone who is starting with Oracle, one must bookmarked site is , http://tahiti.oracle.com. This is Oracle's documentation which is free and very helpful. Out of this, in the first place, you should start reading Concepts Guide. This would make you understand what Oracle is and how it works. But, docs can be very boring and long to read so besides this, I shall recommend to buy these 2 books ,
    http://www.amazon.com/Expert-One-Oracle-Thomas-Kyte/dp/1861004826
    http://www.amazon.com/Expert-Oracle-Database-Architecture-Programming/dp/1590595300/ref=pd_sim_b_2
    Both are by Thomas Kyte. These books will help you in getting an overall picture with some very good insight which at times, is missing from docs. Besides all this, this forum is always there where you can bring your doubts.

  • 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.
    HTH,
    John.

  • 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.

  • Need to learn Oracle Financials-Need Info

    Need to learn Oracle Financials.Anyone with any info.
    Please email [email protected]

    There are so many versions and packages of Oracle. Which one should I learn?
    latest version is oracle 10g
    but i think you will go oracle 9i rel 2
    because all commercial application use oracle 9i database.
    Which is the easiest way to get trained and certified? What kind of certification do I need?
    you need a oracle 9i dba certification
    or may be 9i developer certification
    it up to you
    but oracle 9i dba is more valuable than developer track
    you will learn this from oracle university
    excellent oracle material for ocp (but it is too costly also)
    http://otn.oracle.com/training/index.html
    Or u will read your self
    all oracle docs available athttp://otn.oracle.com/documentation/index.html
    better you will read first this
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96524/toc.htm
    download oracle software

    My need: to find a job that was similar to previous ones that I had. My previous job function was to develop database applications using Visual FoxPro,
    in oracle ,oracle developer is used for such type of application
    its front end tool
    gui tool like v.foxpro
    and oracle database is backend tool for store information
    i think v.fox pro perform both work as frontend as backend
    in oracle
    oracle developer is front end(old name is D2k)
    oracle database is back end
    i am also a developer but now find job as dba.
    i am always intersting in DBA . but in IT market
    there is no entry level DBA job and
    its very difficult to go for dba job without experience.
    so my suggestion is
    read your self
    install oracle on u r pc read docs from otn.oracle.com web site
    and find a job on oracle platform
    BEST OF LUCK AND I HOPE YOU WILL GET A BETTER JOB SOON
    hope it will help you

  • 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.

  • Learning Oracle BPM v10.3

    Hello Experts,
    Our client owns a bunch of Oracle tools. My next requirement in this project is to LEARN then CREATE a BPM project using Oracle BPM v10.3.
    So far I have found only 1 tutorial and NOT the greatest documentation/training matetrial on Oracle BPM v10.3.
    What would you guys suggest as a way to learn Oracle BPM v10.3?
    FYI - We are using Oracle BPM v10.3 so not interested in BPM 11g.
    Your help really appreciated if any of you can share some kind of training docs with me.
    Thanks in advanced for any responses!

    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.

  • How to make Oracle program executed through windows XP command line.

    I know this thread may not be appropriate to be posted here. However, I couldn't find place to post this question. However, the question is related to Oracle program execution. So I post here for help.
    I creted a windows XP shell program to execute a few oracle program to refresh data on database. All oracle programs work very well. But the windows shell program is not working properly. I seek your input to solve this problem. Here is the basic windows shell script:
    set oracle_sid=mydb
    set MyDir=C:\refresh
    sqlplus -s username_1/password_1@mydb @%MyDir%\updt_table.sql
    exit
    sqlldr username_2/password_2@mydb control=C:\refresh\control_file_1.ctl
    sqlldr username_2/password_2@mydb control=C:\refresh\control_file_2.ctl
    sqlldr username_2/password_2@mydb control=C:\refresh\control_file_3.ctl
    sqlldr username_2/password_2@mydb control=C:\refresh\control_file_4.ctl
    sqlldr username_2/password_2@mydb control=C:\refresh\control_file_5.ctl
    set oracle_sid=mydb
    set MyDir=C:\refresh
    sqlplus -s username_2/password_2@mydb @%MyDir%\refresh_table.sql
    exit
    The problem is: The first sqlplus is to connect to username_1. after windows shell execute and finish updt_table.sql as well as exit from that db schema, it suppose to go to next sql loader command line to login as username_2 to start sql loader control file to load data. The actual situation is: command line hang on at first "exit" and didn't login username_2 to do sql loader work. Please advise me where the problem is and how to fix it. Thanks for your kind help.

    krystian:
    I have tried this before I post for help. If I moved "exit" after updt_table.sql, the shell only finish the first part of command to update one table. Then windows shell hang on there and do nothing. It didn't go to login as username_2 to execute sql loader control files. This is where the problem is. How to force the windwos shell log into as username_2 to do next step? Thanks again.
