Loss of entire database - soliciting options

I've got a database that was recently lost as the underlying disks went bad. After my SA replaced, the disks, I've re-created another database with the same SID on the machine. I have an rman backupset on another filesystem that belonged to the "old original" database. Is there a way to use that backupset to restore data to my new database? I realize that registering the new database with rman will result in a different DBID. I'm soliciting options to restore....any feedback would be great!

There's no need to create a new database to recover from a complete loss of a database (assuming you have all necessary backups and archivelogs). That would be the method, if you recover from a logical backup made with export. You a guide here:

Using In-Memory Database Cache option need help

Hi,
I need some help:
I am using Oracle 10g Server Release 2
For Clientele activilty I am using Oracle Client where the Application resides.
For Better performance I want to use the In-Memory Database Cache option Times-Ten Database.
Is it possible to do so where there is Oracle Database Server Relaease 2 and in the Client there is Times-Ten In-Memory Database Cache?
Any help will be needful for me

In-Memory Cache is a server-side cache. I can not see where there would be any value putting it on the client side though given the license cost per CPU core I am sure the entire Oracle sales force would gladly disagree with me.

Moving a Entire Database

Does any one out there know of a easy way to copy a entire database from a working copy to a freshly installed copy. I currently have about 5 table spaces and about 5 users with all there schema and data, and I would like to move it from my windows server to a linux server, same version of oracle 10g. I know where alot of the files are and I know the ctl file will add the database, but I am not sure if it is really that easy or what is the best way.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Todd

Since you are using 10g, you may consider to use Oracle's Transportable Tablespace feature. It works now (some restrictions) even if the platforms are different.
This document describes all necessary steps (an extract from 10g Administrator's Guide).
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10739/tspaces.htm#i1007169
Using dbconsole and/or GridControl simplifies the tasks.There's an option 'Cloning a database' available.

My iTunes keeps crashing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, including recreating the entire database, and it is still doing it. I recently upgraded to 10.5. Any ideas?

My iTunes keeps crashing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, including recreating the entire database, and it is still doing it. I recently upgraded to 10.5. Any ideas? I am running Windows 7 on a new, decent, laptop. The music is on the laptop's hard drive. There is plenty of hard drive space left.
iTunes starts fine, and I can do stuff, then within a minute or two or three it gives me an error message pop-up.

The error message says:

"In-Memory Database Cache" option for Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition

Hi,
In one of our applications, we are using TimesTen 5.1.24 and Oracle 9i
databases (platform - Solaris 9i).
TimesTen holds application information which needs to be accessed quickly
and Oracle 9i is a master application database.
Now we are looking at an option of migrating from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g
database. While exploring about Oracle 10g features, came to know about
"In-Memory Database Cache" option for Oracle Enterprise Edition. This made
me to think about using Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition with "In-Memory
Database Cache" option for our application.
Following are the advantages that I could visualize by adopting the
above-mentioned approach:
1. Data reconciliation between Oracle and TimesTen is not required (i.e.
data can be maintained only in Oracle tables and for caching "In-Memory
Database Cache" can be used)
2. Data maintenance is easy and gives one view access to data
I have following queries regarding the above-mentioned solution:
1. What is the difference between "TimesTen In-Memory Database" and
"In-Memory Database Cache" in terms of features and licensing model?
2. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option integrated with Oracle 10g
installable or a separate installable (i.e. TimesTen installable with only
cache feature)?
3. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option same as that of "TimesTen Cache
Connect to Oracle" option in TimesTen In-Memory Database?
4. After integrating "In-Memory Database Cache" option with Oracle 10g, data
access will happen only through Oracle sqlplus or OCI calls. Am I right here
in making this statement?
5. Is it possible to cache the result set of a join query in "In-Memory
Database Cache"?
In "Options and Packs" chapter in Oracle documentation
(http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/options.htm
#CIHJJBGA), I encountered the following statement:
"For the purposes of licensing Oracle In-Memory Database Cache, only the
processors on which the TimesTen In-Memory Database component of the
In-Memory Database Cache software is installed and/or running are counted
for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required."
We have servers with the following configuration. Is there a way to get the
count of processors on which the Cache software could be installed and/or
running? Please assist.
Production box with 12 core 2 duo processors (24 cores)
Pre-production box with 8 core 2 duo processors (16 cores)
Development and test box with 2 single chip processors
Development and test box with 4 single chip processors
Development and test box with 6 single chip processors
Thanks & Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
regarding your questions:
1. What is the difference between "TimesTen In-Memory Database" and
"In-Memory Database Cache" in terms of features and licensing model?
==> Product has just been renamed and integrated better with the Oracle database - Times-Ten == In-Memory-Cache-Database
2. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option integrated with Oracle 10g
installable or a separate installable (i.e. TimesTen installable with only
cache feature)?
==> Seperate Installation
3. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option same as that of "TimesTen Cache
Connect to Oracle" option in TimesTen In-Memory Database?
==> Please have a look here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/timesten/quickstart/cc_qs_index.html
This explains the differences.
4. After integrating "In-Memory Database Cache" option with Oracle 10g, data
access will happen only through Oracle sqlplus or OCI calls. Am I right here
in making this statement?
==> Please see above mentioned papers
5. Is it possible to cache the result set of a join query in "In-Memory
Database Cache"?
==> Again ... ;-)
Kind regards
Mike

How to hide Database Logon option when scheduling Crystal Report in BOE?

Hi All,
For security reason, we are try to hide the Database Logon option in Crystal Report Schedule page in InfoView.
There is option in CMC which we can configure the default Database logon option so that users do not have to enter the logon everytime they view or schedule the report. However, we are looking to hide this option completely.
Does anyone know if there is a security setting which can hide the option from specific users?
Thanks,
Bobby

Hi Bobby,
As Jorge informed that there is no method available within CMC to hide database logon option when scheduling or viewing a Crystal Report in the Info view. This is very much true.
But as you also mentioned that you don't want your users to enter the database logon credentials evertime they view or schedule a crystal report, there is one setting in CMC which we can do to avoid prompt for database logon credentials.
CMC - Home - Go to that specific crystal report - Click Process tab - Click the sub-tab 'Database' and at the bottom of the page there is an option "Use same database logon as when report is run". Check this option after providing the database credentials and click UPDATE.
Now whenever users try to view or schedule this specifc crystal report they won't be prompted for the database logon credentials.
Regards,
Venkat

After upgrade to 10.6.2 the" entire message" search option grayed out

Just upgraded to t10.6.2 but now in the mail when searching for a mail the entire mail search option is not available anymore it is there but it is grayed out it can not be activated. That was the beauty if mail.
on the other hand the To do button now works again
any idea

You have not said, but I would guess you are using an IMAP account? If so, then might it be that the selection in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced has gotten changed to not keep copies of messages (and/or attachments) for Offline Viewing? The Entire Mail search will be grayed out when copies of the messages are not stored locally.

"database logon" option for schedule report

When scheduling a report,
Crystal report has the "database logon" option in "shcedule" property page.
But I can't find the "database logon" option for webi report or deski report.
Is this by design.

Hi Tina,
We do not have data base logon option while scheduling the report.
I am not sure what is the significance of it in Crystal but in Webi or deski report we do not need it. We have connections for every universe/report and that has these database log on credential in it. Based on it reports get refresh and run.
Thanks

Ho do you 'un-gray' the Databases menu option in the Windows menu?

I seem to be entering a 'world of hurt' with PHP on my iMac running Mac OS X 10.6.6 with Dreamweaver CS4
Under the Windows menu the Database menu option is grayed out. How do I un-grey it?
In the Site Definition dialog box I have Server Model set to PHP MySQL and PHP appears to be running perfectly well, but Dreamweaver CS4 seems to want to stand in my way and gray out the Database menu option and I have no idea why.
I wish that software developers would implement the idea that if a menu option is grayed yo can still click on it and it will take you to a help page telling you why it is unavailable and how to make it available.
So, I guess I have one of two questions that need to be answerd (and I do not know which one to ask):
1. How do I un-gray the Database menu option.
2. Why is the Database menu option grayed-out?
I am dead in the water until I can work this one out.

I exited Dreamweaver CS4, started it again and magically the menu option was now un-grayed (nothing else, to my knowledge changed).
Now I am getting a different problem - "MySQL Error #2002 - No such file or directory".
I am opening the Database menu option, bringing up the "MySQL Connection dialog box" then I enter:
Connection name: bookstore
user name: root
Password: root
Database:
when I click on the Select...button to choose a database I get "MySQL Error #2002 - No such file or directory".
Which is it? No such file, or no such directory? If it would show me the directory it thought it was looking for then I might have a chance in Hell of working this one out!
How do iwork out which folder it is attempting to look in?

I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano, but when I click on the Music tab at the top, it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc. I cannot un-check the Entire Music library option and check the Selected Artist - on

I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano, but when I click on the Music tab at the top,
it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc. I cannot un-check the Entire Music library
option and check the Selected Artist … one.
I have changed the Sync option to Manually sync, but that does not help.
How can I change this to the second option?
Thanks.

There is a checkbox above those two options for how to sync. It says Sync Music; it enables automatic syncing. That box needs to be checked before you can select from the two options for how automatic syncing is performed.
NOTE: If the iPod is current set up to Manually manage music [and videos], checking that Sync Music box replaces its current content with content from your iTunes library, based on how automatic syncing is set up on that screen.
So, if your goal is to add ONE playlist to an iPod that is managed manually, you do not want to do this because iTunes will erase the iPod's current content and replace it with just that ONE selected playlist (and whatever else you select on that Music settings screen).
Instead, if the iPod currently uses the manual setting, you need to add playlists manually to the iPod (not use the automatic syncing setting). Please post back with more details about your situation.

Designer and Reverse Engineering Entire Database

Does anyone know of any good papers, books, articles, etc to help out with Designer. I really am having trouble finding anything.
What I am trying to do is capture an entire database into a new repository and I am plagued with errors. I'm a developer and really weak with Designer knowledge. I also want to find information on how I should organize my repository. Should each schema have its own application system folder if the schemas share/link information between one another?

Hi,
One book that I have always found good is the Oracle Designer Handbook by Paul Dorsey and Peter Koletzke. Although it's a bit long in the tooth now (only goes upto v6 I think), it's still very useful.
The Oracle Designer Product Info link is at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/designer/index.html
What sort of errors are you getting? I presume you either have a live connection to the database or the DDL?
Without knowing the contents of your schema, it usually makes sense to group each one into its own application system, subject to the number of tables, etc. If you have tables which are referenced by other schemas, they can be put into one application system and shared to the other application systems as applicable.
Try and let us know a bit more about what you're trying to do.

Database comparison option on SQL Developer

Is there a database comparison option available on SQL Developer? If yes, can you please help me with the usage? If not, is it expected in the subsequent releases?
Regards,
Krishnan

I'm hoping that we will eventually have 2. We are integrating the Oracle Migration Workbench and its ancillary tools into raptor and will have the ability to compare a readonly 3rd party db with the newly generated Oracle DB. The other thing we need as part of this is a schema comparator which will tell us the object differences in 2 schemas. Right now, this is very much on the wish list as we get into the next release.

Is it possible to copy entire database when update from 32 bit to 64 bit?

Just want to update the os from 32bit to 64bit with Oracle9i. Sinece the data amount is very large, to export and import is quite time consuming, so Is it possible to copy entire database? Or any other suggestion?

what's the OS ?

Restore entire database..why RESETLOGS

Hi
I have a consistent RMAN backup.I wanted to restore it to another server.my goal is replicating exactly what i have on my server to other.I dont require duplicate command..its just a question of asking why what i have done is not working .Rather why this procedure is not working.
Steps follwed are Restored entire database.
Now I have verified checkpoint_scn in controlfile and datafile headers are exactly same.So no Media recovery required.While recovering databsae is is asking me to use backup controlfile and while opening database it wants me open RESETLOGS.
When Checkpoint_SCN is in sync everywhere and i dont change db_name ,why it asks for RESETLOGS.Rather how it or where from it come to know that controlfile is restored.
I thoght may be REDO log files are not present so it might have identified.I have REDO log file copies so i copied and tried but same thing happened..RESETLOGS
if i copy datafile,controlfile and REDO logfile with OS command,i a
was not aked for RESETLOGS or backup controlfile while recovery and open database.
But in case of RMAN why and how it asks for RESETLOGS.I have everything in place as it is but why shoul i do RESETLOGS.

Now I have verified checkpoint_scn in controlfile and datafile headers are exactly same.So no Media recovery required.RMAN doesn't backup Online Redo Logs. RMAN wouldn't then, be checking Online Redo Logs.
Say you have this scenario :
At Time t1, cold backup of datafiles and controlfile
Current Time is t3 and Online Redo Logs are available
What is restored is the datafiles and controlfiles from t1 and the online redo logs from t3.
Is such a scenario possible ? YES.
(eg. your database crashed at t2 and all datafiles and controlfiles were lost, but the online redo logs are available -- probably because they were mirrored).
Can/should Oracle do an OPEN without a ResetLogs ? Obviously not ! A ResetLogs is necessary here.
But what if you had restored Online Redo Logs of t1 with the database of t1 ? If the controlfile is not of the same point in time, Oracle still cannot be sure that the Online Redo Logs are the "current" ones. Oracle has to assume and do an Incomplete Recovery. This has to be followed by an OPEN RESETLOGS.
While recovering databsae is is asking me to use backup controlfile and while opening database it wants me open RESETLOGS.RMAN wouldn't be "asking .. to use a backup controlfile". It seems that you are using the SQL RECOVER DATABASE command. If a BACKUP CONTROLFILE is used, an OPEN RESETLOGS is required. That is mandatory because Oracle cannot trust the controlfile (which it , by definition, would assume to be not "current") to have the latest information.
When you do a non-RMAN backup and Recovery, the ALTER DATABASE OPEN is issued from SQL. This checks the Online Redo Logs. If it finds that the Online Redo Logs are as of t3 but the database files, even consistent, are as of t1, then it will complain and require an OPEN RESETLOGS.
if i copy datafile,controlfile and REDO logfile with OS commandIf this is cold copy, then it doesn't require Recovery. If all three sets of files are consistent, than an Open ResetLogs is not required.
