NDS and Oracle versions/editions

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the differences are
between Personal Oracle 8i, Oracle 8i Standard and Enterprise
Edition. I was wondering, also, if it is possible to use NDS,
DBMS_SQL (Method 4), etc. with Personal Oracle 8i. Also, is
there any place (on-line) where I could check (like a summary of
features) on 8i and 9i editions?
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Nikhil Kulkarni

Hi,
i found a great FAQ here which answered my questions:

Mismatch between COMPATIBLE Parameter and Oracle Version

Hi,
If the ORACLE version is say 11g but the compatible parameter in init.ora is say 9.2.0 or 8.1.7 what will be the effect on the database?
Will the database behave as like 11g or of the lower version?
If we alter the init.ora to the new version for compatible paremeter will it affect DB rebooting?
This is an interview question and i could not answer.
Please let me know the answers.

Mixing Instant Client and Oracle Versions

I have a customer with an Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 database running on Windows XP x64. I'm building a new development machine, and trying to install the matching Instant Client SDK. All I see are versions 10.2.0.3.0 and 10.2.0.2.0 for Oracle 10g2.
I assume the 11g versions are likely to cause some problems. Will it be a problem to install a slightly newer version, or will I have to patch Oracle for the customer? Since there's no actual DBA, I get stuck with all the DBA work, even though I'm a developer, and I try to avoid unnecessary DBA work.

If you have access to download the files from the customer's installed oracle, you can get whatever you need for the SDK there. It will match the exact version number, and be a lot smaller. If you need to run the program on a machine without the installed client or server software, you can use something like a dependency walker to find what DLL's you're missing, if any. Hopefully it won't be too much.

DB Links AND Oracle Version Compatibility

Both Client & Server running on Windows.
We have an 8.0.6 Database that has a public Database link connecting to another 8.0.6 database.
Using an OCI application to perform a simple select (using Oracle 9 Release 2 Client) :-
"SELECT * FROM USER.TABLE@LINK_NAME" gives us "ORA-03113 End of file on communication channel".
Running the same application on other client versions has given the following results:-
Oracle 8.0.5 Client - Works Fine
Oracle 8.1.5 Client - Works Fine
From the above we assume the problem lies in the Oracle client / servier combinations. Mainly that it doesn't work with a 9 client and an 8.0 server.
However, when we try the same SELECT statement on an Oracle 9 (Release 2) client in SQL-Plus it works fine.
I used Dependency Walker to check the DLLs that SQL-Plus is using. OCI.DLL is not one of them.
Is this a problem with the Oracle 9 version of OCI.DLL ?
Hope someone out there can help.
Adrian
PS: Is there a matrix somewhere that tells us the compatibillity between versions of the client against versions of the database.

Does your table contain any NVARCHAR columns?
I ran into similar problem in the past when I was
dealing with NVARCHAR columns over dblink to 8i server.
I found a patch (#1634613) that is supposed to address
the problem. That might help you also.

Database link between Oracle Standard Edition and Oracle Enterprise Edition

Hi,
I am looking at setting up a data transfer process between an Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition database and an Oracle 11g Standard Edition database. Database links would be required each way.
I heard once that this is not permitted as connecting Standard to Enterprise via a DB Link means that the Standard Edition database would now need an Enterprise license.
I have searched around but can't find anything to confirm this. Am I being mislead by this information? Is it permitted to
connect Standard to Enterprise via a DB Link?

When a db-1 has a link pointing to db-2, as far as db-2 is concerned db-1 is just another client .. no different than sqlplus. If you have an Enterprise Edition database, of course it will need to be properly licensed. But that doesn't mean all of its clients (including a SE database) have to be EE licensed.
But even my reply is just something you read on the internet. Licensing questions can only be definitively answered by Oracle itself. Ultimately you will need to put your hands on an official Oracle document or a written statement from someone authorized to make such statements.

Problem AWM and Oracle Entreprise Edition

Hello,
first of all, I would like to apologize for my English, it is not my first language (the second neither).
Now my problem:
     For my last year of school I have to do a work on BI and the first part of it, is to test and work on ROLAP and MOLAP system.
     My assistant had installed the Oracle data base Enterprise Edition 11g and now I’m trying to use Analytic Workspace Manager like it is said in your Oracle OLAP User’s Guide but when I try to create a new dimension (for example : Product), I receive some message errors, like :
     java.sql.SQLException: Exception d'E/S: Software caused connection abort: socket write error
     or
     the object was closed
     or
     oracle.express.idl.util.OlapiException: java.sql.SQLException: No more data to read from socket
What can I do ?
What could be the problem ?
Thanks very much for your help,
David

I find it :
you have to increase the temp space and it work ...

SAP 4.7 and oracle version

Hi Experts,
I have a basic question. Is SAP 4.7 enterprise edition extn 1.1 currently supported with oracle 9i or it needs to be upgraded to 10g?
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
I would advise you to choose oracle 10g as the database.
Please read SAP notes 1058988, 407314 to choose the latest kernal and database release for this release of SAP as it will give you several additional features / functionality along with it and will be supported for longer time.
Cheers,

Different between Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 and Oracle 8.1.7.2 ?

1) Hi all, i have some doubt about the oracle versioning technique. For example, i had installed oracle 8.1.7 release 3 in a SUN Solaris version 8 and the database character set is in UTF-8. Then i select sql : "Select * from product_component_version" and the result is "Oracle8i Enterprise Edition 8.1.7.0.0 ". What does that means ? Our DBA in another location had installed the oracle 8.1.7 release 2 in their db server with the same OS and same database character set which is UTF-8. But the result from the "Select * from product_component_version" is "Oracle8i Enterprise Edition 8.1.7.2 ".
So as a conclusion, i had confused about the oracle versioning technique, can somebody please explain to me ?
2) My second problem is actually related to problem stated above (1). In the Oracle 8.1.7 release 2 database,
when i select a clob/blob value for update, i sometimes encountered the problem as follows but in our Oracle 8.1.7 release 3 the problem didn't exist at all after investigating that all the java code and other factor remain the same but not the oracle version.
java.io.IOException: ORA-22990: LOB locators cannot span transactions
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 700
ORA-06512: at line 1

at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.SQLToIOException(DBError.java)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleBlobOutputStream.flushBuffer(OracleBlobOutputStream.java)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleBlobOutputStream.write(Compiled Code)
This was an error log in our backend log and in the web browser it showed "Request Timeout" in both IE and Netscape. We are using J2EE, Oracle DBMS and IBM Websphere App Server for our e-commerce system.
But retrying the request sometimes may work but most of the time failed.
The above error didn't exist in our server using Oracle version 8.1.7 release 3 (8.1.7.0.0) and Oracle
version 8.1.6.0.0. But ORacle version 8.1.7.2 release 2 is encountering this problem now.
Somebody please help me on this problem, our developers and DBA had try to solved this problem one week ago but still don't know what is the cause.

Oracle 9i client would fit you well. You need ORACLE_HOME set, ORACLE_HOME/bin in the path variable and of cource check that the user has access there. Are you using OCI to connect to Oracle? JDBC thin client is a better approach, in my opinion, as it is pure java.
Oracle also provides something called "instant client", which provides connectivity only for applications.

Trying to get Oracle Personal Edition 8i & Developer2000 to work together

Hi
Can anyone help me.
I have installed both Developer 2000 and Oracle Personal Edition 8.1.6 on NT4 in that order. I cannot connect to the database through Developer 2000 and sql prompt. I receive the following erors at the sql prompt, although sql was working originally.
ORA - 12545: Connect failed because target or host does not exist.
ORA - 01034: Oracle not available
null

Hi,
Try to run listener manually:
LSNRCNTL.EXE start
Then, enter your SID in the sid field while connecting.

Oracle Express Edition & Enterprise Edition together

Hi everybody,
I have an application developed in VB.Net 2005 with Oracle Enterprise Edition 10g as backend.
I also have a distributed desktop user for the same application which uses Oracle Express edition database.
I want to write an application for Data synchronisation between Oracle Enterprise Edition and Oracle Express Edition for transfer of data to & fro.
How can I connect both the databases in my data sync application (vb.net 2005)? I am also using ODP.net in this application?
Any solutions ?
Thanks
Derasari

Derasari,
I'm going to ask an obvious question here, if you can connect the desktop user XE database to the Enterprise database, why don't the desktop users simply connect to the Application Express instance running in the EE database?
It's an obvious question, but I had to ask it ;)

All Ace members and Oracle forum moderators/administrators

Dont you guys think that we need a way to stop threads once the problem is resolved as per the user who posted the question ?
Regards,
http://askyogesh.com

I understand, my aims was, instead of just saying what is your OS or what is your Oracle version, one could say, this differce on OS to OS and Oracle version to Oracle version and giving little hint/answer to the question.Assume that there for example n different OS and n different versions of Oracle SW.
Somebody ask the question (reason of problem is specific for OS or version of DB) and don't provide OS version and DB version.
Means that you will give him n hints/answers? Probably no.
There is problem people creating topics with lack description of problem/question. Bad subject "Urgent!!!! I need help!!!" instead of "Frequent ORA-xxxxxx errors on 9.x.x.x"
or description "My database suddenly crashed. Why?" instead of detailed description including OS, DB version and errors from alert log.
If someone didn't provide useful information I will ask for it but I won't writing "novel" to my post.

SQL Developer and Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, Connection Problem

I am using SQL Developer version 1.2.1 and am connecting to a 10g database on a windows xp.
Up until today there have been no problems with the connection. When I tried to connect to the database and have not been able to.
The error states that "...listener refused the connection with the following error: ORA-12505, TNS; listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor..."
Also tried to log into the database home page but page doesn't load...

I'd bet the database is down.
Try a login through sqlplus ("Run SQL Command Line" in the Oracle Express Edition 'Start' menu).
Do a CONN / AS SYSDBA
If you get a message about database or memory area not available, try STARTUP.
If that doesn't work, you are best off in the General Database forum or the Express Edition forum.
You'll probably get the most expert response in General Database, but the Express Edition forum can be gentler on newbies (as it is more accepted that questioners are not and do not have access to full-time DBAs).

Oracle Express Edition And Windows Encrypted File System (EFS)

Hello,
I want to use oracle express edition with windows encrypted file system. I tried some possibilities like encrypting xe folder. But connection can not be established when efs is used. Is there a compatibility problem between oracle xe and windows efs? On Oracle's page, it is declared that oracle database is compatible with Windows EFS.
Thank you for help.

Pl identify which version of Win 7 - 32-bit or 64-bit ? Home version or something else ?
The 11g XE install is only available for 32-bit version of Win 7 Professional or higher - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm#BABHICJH. If you are installing on 64-bit version or Home version of Windows, then you are on your own. What is the reason for enabling EFS on this database ?
