MS SQL to Oracle Problem: nvarchar's being loaded as null varchar2's

If anyone has any insight into this, I would really appreciate it.
I'm trying to build an incredibly simple Interface that mirrors a small MS SQL Server table into and Oracle table. The source MS table is a series of int, smallint, numeric, datetime and nvarchar columns. Similiarly, I've built my Oracle target table to be comprised of corresponding number, date and varchar2 columns.
The issue is that my Interface runs just fine, but only the date and number-related columns actually come across. All the columns that are loading nvarchar->varchar2 are simply populated with nulls.
I can't seem to figure out what the problem that ODI is having. There are no errors during execution, and back in Designer I can even do a "View Data" on the source MS table, and can browser all the data just fine.
Something is happening during transit and I can't figure out why. My current LKM is "LKM SQL to Oracle" though I've also tried "LKM SQL to SQL" with no luck. Clearly something is happening with the nvarchar to varchar2 conversion, but that seems like a ridiculous thing for ODI to have a problem with. Even moreso that's it not actually throwing any errors, but simply not populating them.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks
John

Dev-
Thanks for replying. And that's funny, I think you were posting your comment right as I was posting my quick additional detail one.
Yes, I have actually already tried that. I have set the LKM to keep temporary tables so that I could check the C$_... table. And the nvarchar columns are already showing as null there. And there are no joins in this Interface at all. It is a very simple interface that mirrors a single small source table, into a clone on the Oracle side for staging purposes ( A [MSSQL] ---> B [Oracle] ).
So, because the C$_ is already showing nulls for the columns that were nvarchar, it seems something is happening in transit while converting the nvarchar to varchar2.
Thanks
John

How to solve Oracle SQL Developer connection problem ?

Folks,
Hello. I am using Oracle Database 11gR1. The Database Control Console https://localhost.localdomain:1158/em works correctly. I can create a Database and a table successfully.
My OS is Linux and connects to internet successfully.
In order to run SQL statements. we need to use Oracle SQL Developer. I connect Oracle SQL Developer in the following way:
Connection Name: DB1 (this is my database name as well)
Username: SYS (this is the user name I used to login to the Console)
Password: SYS (this the password used to login to the Console)
Connection Type: Basic
Host Name: localhost
Port: 1158
SID: DB1 (this is created during installing the Database)
But the error message comes up: "Status: Failure - IO exception Connection Reset."
Can any folk tell me how to solve Oracle SQL Developer connection problem ?

Can any folk tell me how to solve Oracle SQL Developer connection problem ?username: sys
password: enter_your_correct_password given at the time of oracle installation
role: select sysdba if you would connect as sysdba else select normal for users other than sys
hostname: enter your oracle server hostname or ip address eg:- 192.168.11.12
to find the hostname open terminal/command prompt in oracle installed machine
type ---> hostname
type ---->ping hostname
you can find the ipaddress of the server
port number: 1521 (default) ----> i guess , else check the port number in the tnsnames.ora file under your ORACLE_HOME/network/admin folder
SID: DB1
try it
Good Luck

Error : ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called

Hi
I got surprise issue while testing my Oracle code . Let me explain first the environment detail . Our appliaction built on
Java/J2EE(Weblogic) and backend is Oracle 11g re2 . While calling from java it call thru different user which have been provide
synonym and exectue option for corresponding procdure ,
I created on package EXTRACT_CUSTOMER_INFO_PK which will exract data to text file using UTL_FILE ( direcory , UTL_FILE grant is provided to DB user).
Now this package has been called from rp_execute_procedure_pr -- Here I is the code
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE RP_EXECUTE_PROCEDURE_PR
i_atlas_job_schedule_fk IN atlas_job_schedule.atlas_job_schedule_pk%TYPE,
i_job_id IN atlas_job.job_id%TYPE,
i_parm_value IN atlas_job_schedule.parm_value%TYPE,
o_status_code OUT NUMBER,
o_status_mesg OUT VARCHAR2
IS
-------Other old code which is not relevent for this issue ----
--------Other old code which is not relevent for this issue ----
----Below code I added ----
ELSIF l_job_id = 'CUST_EXTRACT' THEN
EXTRACT_CUSTOMER_INFO_PK.customer_report ( i_parm_value ,
o_status_code,
o_status_mesg ) ;
-- o_status_code := -99999999;
--o_status_mesg := 'PARTHA PARTHA PARTHAcess terminated!';
ELSE
o_status_code := -20300;
o_status_mesg := 'Job Id : ' || l_job_id || ' NOT found. Process terminated!';
END IF;
update_log_auto
ajs_rec.atlas_job_schedule_pk ,
'Processing End Time (GMT): '
EXCEPTION
WHEN eProcError THEN
o_status_code := SQLCODE;
o_status_mesg := SUBSTR(vMsg ||'-'||SQLERRM, 1, 200);
WHEN OTHERS THEN
o_status_code := -20300;
o_status_mesg := SUBSTR(SQLERRM, 1, 200);
update_log_auto
ajs_rec.atlas_job_schedule_pk ,
'Error : '||SQLERRM||' '
update_log_auto
ajs_rec.atlas_job_schedule_pk,
'Processing End Time (GMT): '
END RP_EXECUTE_PROCEDURE_PR;
Now It compiled sucesfully . And while I did SIT then RP_EXECUTE_PROCEDURE_PR run fine and extracted txt file . But while I called it from Java procedure It gives us error like
Error : ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called 02-AUG-2012 13:16:51.
As I told RP_EXECUTE_PROCEDURE_PR old proc and used by other proc , So I first suspect issue is newly added code or may be some grant or synonym ( Although it should not be )
so I created public synony amd gave execute grant to my pkg to public .
But it repeat same error .
I did lot of R&D on my pkg but nothing happen . Finally I remane my new pkg RP_EXTRACT_CUSTOMER_INFO_PK and it works fine
I need to know what is the RCA for it . I donot think any dependecy issue as renaming pkg is working fine .
NB my DB user is iATLAS and Javauser is SUDEEP
Thanks in Advance
Debashis Mallick

First of all If i run the main procedure in like below in my Schema it is working fine
begin
-- Call the procedure
rp_execute_procedure_pr(i_atlas_job_schedule_fk => :i_atlas_job_schedule_fk,
i_job_id => :i_job_id,
i_parm_value => :i_parm_value,
o_status_code => :o_status_code,
o_status_mesg => :o_status_mesg);
end;
So thre is no question of parameter .... or Invalid state etc . If it is parameter or Invalid state issue it will give other error.
Here problem is not syntax issue .
let me give u more detail regards this issue
1.. All objects corresponding to procedure all Valid
2.. If I test on the proc on my schema like above code . It works fine
3.rp_execute_procedure_pr is a old procudere which called for differner report generartion based on parameter passing . Also as extract_customer_info_pk called with in rp_execute_procedure_pr So there is no question of synonym or privilage issue for new procedure.
4. Suprising thing is if I rename and recreate package like extract_customer_info_pk _1 or rp_extract_customer_info_pk . Which are exactly same as extract_customer_info_pk and replace those new one with extract_customer_info_pk then it work fine in my java application
I think I make it clear the issue

ORA-06508 PL/SQL: could not find program unit being

Hi all,
I'm having the following problem: I have a trigger that gets fired before update of a field. The trigger source code calls a function from a package. This function calls another function.
When the trigger was executed I got the following error ORA-06508 PL/SQL: could not find program unit being call(referring to the second function called).
This trigger works well, but from time to time gets this error. (The database has a lot of users and there is a chance that more users fire the same trigger).
What can I do to solve this problem as it's very inconvenient? Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Try running the following query:
select *
from
v$db_object_cache
where sharable_mem > 10000
and type in ('PACKAGE','PACKAGE BODY','FUNCTION','PROCEDURE')
and KEPT='NO'
order by sharable_mem desc
See which objects are taking up a lot of SGA memory, you may need to pin them to prevent fragmentation. If you see DBMS_STATS in there it means that you Oracle is dynamically collecting stats which is not good - you need to set up a background task to do that.

Frequently transfering databases between MS SQL and Oracle

Hello all,
I am looking for a solution to easily, efficiently and be able to migrate/transfer databases between MS SQL and Oracle frequently.
I need to be able to replicate a databases on Ms SQL and Oracle for testing purposes. I will need to do this on frequent basis - almost once a week.
Please suggest what would be the best way.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Justin,
You have guessed it right to a great extend. Yes dont actually need to develop, rather need to test an application that supports SQL and Oracle databases. Now when testing the application its obviously vital to create proper systematic test data. This usually takes a lot of time and effort from the testing team/team-member. So, yes what I need to do is create the test data on one database(may it be SQL or Oracle) and migrate/transfer the data into the database on another server( ie. SQL to Oracle or Oracle to SQL).
So,
Are you developing a product that works against both SQL Server and Oracle and trying to synchonize development efforts?Yes, thats correct to extend, I need to test an application against both the servers, as it supports both types of databases, and try to reduce the test setup efforts (literally double the amount) that go in after manual creating same data on each type of database.
Are you trying to replicate structural changes between systems?I am not 100% sure, what you mean by this. But whats important and enough for me is to replicate the data. It would not be a lot of work to run the scripts and create empty schema objects.
Are you trying to replicate data changes between systems? The fact that you're only doing this weekly suggests that you're not working in a traditional replication environment.Yes, again as I mentioned above. It would be sufficient for me to just get a copy of the initial dataset. And then replicating changes to it would not be that important. However, if I can achieve a solution to this, I can by all means create a new database on the one server (SQL or Oracle) and take the data-set of the most recent/correct changes and replicate it on the other type of server as and when needed.
No - this is not a traditional replicating environment. I say weekly, because it is usually once in a week or forthnight that someone from the team will need to spent time to manually copy the test-data onto the another type of server in order to run the same testcases on two types of servers.
How do you handle conflicts (i.e. if I modify a row in both systems, which modification wins)? This is not really a problem in my scenario, as I only need to be able to transfer the data across to the different server and forget about the two databases actually being in-sync.
I have also, looked at DTS for a possible solution on SQL, however it seems highly un-realistic, having to map somewhere like 250 tables from the a drop-down list, only because the two database servers use different cases to represent tables internals. So, table 'Table' in my application's SQL database is called 'TABLE' is my applications Oracle database. DTS is highly inefficient in dealing with this. Also, having 250 tables move makes this a bit of a pain.
Thank you Justin for your response; I highly appreciate your inputs.

Pl/sql vs oracle reports 6i

Hi I am new to oracle development.
My requirement is to create a text file periodically reading data from oracle tables.
the client wants me to use oracle reports 6i and create a text file. they actually do not have a requirement for a report or this report will not be used in nay other way.
the final output should be text file.
i feel using utl_file package creating the text file on the server is a much better option. for this i thought writing a stored procedure and scheduling this procedure.
please suggest me how i should convince. please give me suggestions in this. thanks in advance..mohan

A while back all reports were just text files, what is the difference between a text report and a text file? If Oracle reports can do it go ahead. If you think it is overhead spool it from SQL*Plus, which as well as being an ad hoc query tool is actually designed as a text only report writer. If you want to you can still use a stored procedure that returns a ref cursor and just print and format the output in SQL*Plus however its wanted.
Don't use util_file, its more code, slower, complicated, you can't just use SQL, you have to loop (though for some reason many programmers seem to see this as an advantage), it can only access the server, Its more suitable for diagnostics, tracing and logging, things the DBA would be interested in, not for the end user or external system interfaces.

Oracle: Problem creating package via CF

G'day
I've got a <cfquery> that creates a package header,
another that creates
the body, and then a <cfstoredproc> which calls one of
the procedures in
the package.
I am getting this error, when my code comes to execute the
procedure:
[Macromedia][Oracle JDBC Driver][Oracle]ORA-06550: line 1,
column 7:
PLS-00905: object myDB.myPkg is invalid ORA-06550: line 1,
column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
However if I go into Oracle SQL Developer, and examine the
package, it's
all present and accounted for, and indeed works fine.
If I manually recompile the package, I get no errors
(right-click > compile
on both the header and the body).
If having manually recompiled the package, I re-execute my
<cfstoredproc>
call, it works fine.
If I re-run the process, and the simply recompile the header
before trying
the <cfstoredproc>, I get this error:
[Macromedia][Oracle JDBC Driver][Oracle]ORA-04068: existing
state of
packages has been discarded ORA-04063: package body
"myDB.myPkg" has errors
ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called
ORA-06512: at
line 1
If I then recompile the body too, and then call my
<cfstoredproc>, it all
runs fine.
I have added the following two addition <cfquery> calls
after my first two:
<cfquery name="qTemp" datasource="#dsn#">
alter package pkg_tree compile package
</cfquery>
<cfquery name="qTemp" datasource="#dsn#">
alter package pkg_tree compile body
</cfquery>
And they execute fine, but do not affect the results (ie: I
still get the
same erroing behaviour).
If I copy and paste my <cfquery> code into Oracle SQL
Developer and execute
it, it all works fine.
Anyone encountered this before, and know what I'm doing wrong
(or what -
additionally - I need to do to complete the job)?
Cheers for any thoughts.
Adam

PS: The user I am using to connect to the DB is the same one
whether via CF
or Oracle SQL Developer, in both cases, and said user has
full DBA
priveleges.

Embedded SQL against Oracle Question

Software: Forte 3.0.J.
Server Platform: HPUX 10.2
Database: Oracle
Problem Description: During the course of development, I ran into a
problem using multiple columns in an sql UPDATE/SET statement. I was trying
to update a.COLUMN_1 and a.COLUMN_2, which constitute part of the primary
key of associative TABLE_A (a). In order for me to make the update, I
needed to use the existing value of a.COLUMN_1 to lookup the new b.COLUMN_1
in TABLE_B (b). Where a.COLUMN_1 = b.RELATED_COLUMN_1, I am able to find
each b.COLUMN_2 that correspond to each a.COLUMN_2.
I was able to resolve the issue by separating the two columns so
that each had it's own select statement. Theoretically, it appears that
this shouldn't work, because the SET statement for a.COLUMN_1 would cause
the a.COLUMN_1 reference in the select statement of a.COLUMN_2 to be
overwritten.
In spite of this, I tried it, and it worked. I would like to
understand why the sql works, and how sql actually executes the statement.
Here is the sql:
UPDATE TABLE_A a
SET a.COLUMN_1 =
(SELECT DISTINCT b1.COLUMN_1
FROM TABLE_B b1
WHERE b1.RELATED_CASE_ID =
a.COLUMN_1 AND
b1.RELATED_COLUMN_TYPE_CD = 'NEPHI'),
a.COLUMN_2=
(SELECT DISTINCT b2.COLUMN_2
FROM TABLE_B b2
WHERE b2.RELATED_COLUMN_1=
a.COLUMN_1 AND
b2.RELATED_COLUMN_TYPE_CD = 'NEPHI' AND
b2.RELATED_COLUMN_2= a.COLUMN_2)
WHERE a.COLUMN_1 = 100
The table structure is as follows:
TABLE_A: (primary keys are bolded) This is an associative table.
Column_1 and Column_2 comprise the pk of one table; Column_3 and Column_4
comprise the pk of another table. Assume that the Column_1 and Column_2
values replacing the original values already exist in the parent table of
which they form the pk).
COLUMN_1
COLUMN_2
COLUMN_3
COLUMN_4
COLUMN_5
TABLE_B: (primary keys are bolded) This is a reference table.
COLUMN_1
COLUMN_2

RELATED_COLUMN_2
RELATED_COLUMN_TYPE_CD

If you do an explain plan or set autotrace on against this update statement,
you'll find that the select operations are actually executed first by Oracle
- I believe because of the nature of the transaction. Thus, no problem.

Oracle Pl/Sql and Oracle Application Express for Beginners

Good day,
Have a prodigy that is strongly interested in oracle application express.Haven know that he will only do we in APEX if he is good in pl/sql and have some skills in html and javascripts.
For such person,what are the books that i can recommend for him,that will guide and assist him?Will be highly grateful if anybody can assist.

Sc0tt wrote:
I think it also falsely gives the impression that one does not need to understand the database at all because Apex can do everything for you...This is why I echo Munky when he says that you need a solid understanding of data models and the database before attempting to build an application.
I absolutely concur with this view. When I first started using ApEx, I was basically given a user guide and told to get on with it :-) Subsequently, for the first 6 months or so, I built probably fairly lousy (but functional) apps until I got a better grasp of Oracle architecture.
That being said, SQL is an absolute must if you are going to work on a database. PL/SQL really should be learned as well because your application will be limited without it. CSS and Javascript and nice to have's, but they can be learned as you go. Since all of the api's are built in pl/sql, it would really hinder what you could do if you didn't know it.One resource I have found very useful is the good old 'Ant' book a.k.a. Oracle PL/SQL Programming by Feuerstein, et al. I have a well-thumbed 4th edition sitting on my desk at the moment - weirdly for a text book, rather a joy to read.
I personally found Jay-Lew's "Cost-based Oracle Fundamentals" a somewhat bitterer pill to swallow - tough on the way down but good for one's constitution!

SQL and Oracle in synchronization

I have to synchronize for about 2 months one Oracle 9.i database and one SQL server 2000, Standard edition database, both running on Win 2K Server. Every change made on either of the databases (the best is there are only 4-5 tables reflected) has to be provided on the other side almost in real time. I choused to use SQL server as a way to do it. For Oracle I have only the ODBC connectivity (supplied for free) and I did have a lot of problems in ORA 8.1.6... Needless to say, there's no money for third party products or even new ORA transfer utility, as the 2-month are not sufficient time.
I did set up linked servers between SQL server and Oracle and trying to make some triggers working for me, but is this the best way to do it? May be somebody has better experience...
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
MJ

Do you really like to implement a two way replication between M$ SQL and Oracle?
Maybe you can try this using the heterogenous gateway and Oracle Advanced replication. Don't know if this could work our test environment would be ready but actually there's no time to try.
Will keep you informed if I know more.
In this way you don't need any third party sw and I think it could work, but never have tried it out.
Could be an interesing challenge ;-)

Microsoft SQL 2005 preload problem

Hi Guys,
First post! I took receipt of my W520 a few weeks ago. It is great, very pleased with it on the whole.
There is one problem, however. I play a fair amount of recreational card games over the internet. This requires a program which converts the text file “hand histories” into postgreSQL server data to make it quickly readable and provide tracking for win/loss among a whole host of other statistical things.
Unfortunately after going through their troubleshooting numerous times, going through factory restore and repeating the process, I still cannot get my SQL server to automatically start. Believe me, I have tried everything. Running them all as admin, editing the startup in the windows “services” dialog etc etc. The server does start manually and the program works fine, but every time I start it I have to do it manually and it is irritating. It should just start up in the background but it doesn’t.
I believe it is the Microsoft SQL 2005 express that is somehow blocking the auto start. Basically, I want my Lenovo as it is, just without the preloaded SQL server. Using the factory restore just reloads it back on and when I manually uninstall the SQL server I still have the same problem. I believe it leaves a lot of little nuggets behind when you uninstall it through the standard W7 “uninstall a program” and the full uninstall looks a long and difficult process, with no guarantee of really removing everything.
So, the plan is to install a bare copy of W7 using a borrowed disk, install my own personal SQL program and test to see if that works. I am almost certain it will. From there, I plan to build back my programs on top so I essentially have my PC now, bar the bundled SQL 2005 express or whatever it is. Following this I will make a system image and store it away safely to avoid all this mess and only reinstall using the factory disks if absolutely necessary.
I have my W7 OEM serial, found using a serial grabber. Obviously I didn’t pay all this money to scrap all the useful thinkvantage tools like “airbag” and basic fingerprint/camera drivers etc. I also like the realtime warranty countdown timer. How should I go about this task? Is all I need is the PC serial underneath to reload thinkvantage at a later date with full functionality? Is there anything I should consider before starting?
If there is a better subforum to post this question in, please let me know.
Many thanks,
Nick

What is service dependency?
Yes I tried to make a batch file. Not in startup folder, but one on the desktop that had the right path. This returned an error from the statistical program and not the SQL server. It initially looked hopeful as I had it start up the "start server" option for the right SQL server. This opened up the dos window and said it had correctly started. However, when the stats program launched it hung up on loadscreen and returned an error message. Not sure why this was, but it didn't seem to like being loaded through a .bat.
This seems like a work around more than a solution anyway. I just want to get it to work properly.
Here is the thread in the database analaysis program forum for your reference.

RE: Database (SQL-SERVER) access problem

Have you used NT Control Panel/ ODBC to set up the ODBC data source name?
You have to define the data source (database) SecTrade as well as the
driver to be used (SQL Server). This can be done by selecting the Add
button on the Data Sources screen in Control Panel/ ODBC.
Hope this helps.

Hi Forte-Users,
We have a setup a Sql-Server database on a NT server. In the Forte
EConsole,
we have
setup a ODBC-type Resource for this server, named SERVER2_ODBC. This NT
server
is configured as a Client Node in the active Forte environment. Note
that
Server2 is not
the Forte server, but has Forte installed. There is another NT server
which
acts as the
Forte server. NODEMGR and Sql-Server are running on SERVER2.
In our application, we have a DBSession SO with the database source
as SERVER2_ODBC, Userid=ForteInstructor. When running the application,
Forte
throws an exception, the gist of it being as follows:
USER ERROR: (This error was converted)
Failed to connect to database: SecTrade, username: ForteInstructor.
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no
default
driver specified
We have tried
1) Installing ODBC drivers on the NT server (Server2)
2) Accessing local databases from Forte clients which works fine
3) Accessing the Sql-Server database through Isqlw (Sql-Server Client
s/w) -
It works.
Could someone suggest what we should try to get rid of this problem?
Thanks for any help,
Kishore Puvvada

SQL*Plus Installation Problem (Ora-12705)

Hi,
I bought a guide to sql featuring Oracle by phillip J.Pratt published by course Technology include Oracale8i Personal Edition realease 8.1.5 for Microsoft Window 98 and Oracle Developer 6.0. I follow the documentation to install. I think i got right configuration (i have the tnslsnr window display and Oracle8i database started) but when I login (user:system and password:manager)it doen't work and it give me the error Ora-12705: invalid or unknow NLS parameter value specified. What can i do with this? I appreciate for yours help.

I got this error message too when I install the 9i client in my pc. You can find the NLS_LANG in the registry under \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE. If you have multiple oracle home, you might need to check each of the entry.
I found that the value for NLS_LANG is NA and I changed it to
9i: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
oracle form 6i : AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
This fixed my sqlplus problem, and I hope it helps.
