Need advices on oracle 9i

Hi all:
I have a few questions on oracle and hope get nice advices!!
1) I have Ms sql 2000 on my window Xp if I download oracle 9i on the same computer is that any conflict?
2) which oracle I sould dowload ? since there are more than one on oracle.com
3)is there any oracle free driver?
4) use which server to connect web and oracle is bester? I have experience use tomcat to connect Ms sql 2000
any advice will appreciate
Thank you

any advice will appreciate I've just downloaded oracle 9i (the three zip files took a few hours to download using cable internet connection). The install gives you three options, I selected the first option (Enterprise???) and it hung after going through about 59%. So, I killed the process and tried to reinstall. It wouldn't reinstall because some of the files (dll???) are opened.... had to reboot to save mode and manually delete the directories (BTW, it takes about 2.5gb to install the program). After having removed everything, I selected the 2nd installed option (whatever that was) and it went through OK after nearly 1/2 hour on my AMD K6-III 450, 384mb of memory, with Windows XP Pro. After rebooting, I noticed that oracle 9i is using over 90mb of memory. My system is loaded with j2sdk1.4.2beta. When I tried to run my program after installing oracle, my program wouldn't work -- took me a while to figure out that oracle added path to JVM 1.3.1 (automatically installed by oracle) to my system PATH......
Well, I've got oracle installed (haven't tried it yet), but here are my suggestions:
1) Get the CD's (you'll have to pay for it) unless you can download it overnight using high-speed internet connection.
2) Make sure you have enough disk space and memory.
3) If you're not using 1.3.1, make sure you fix the PATH statement after the install.
Hopefully this will help alleviate some of the frustrations I experienced.

  • Need advice about Oracle 10G ex

    Newbie question. I have set up Oracle db express on a Redhat Linux FC 8 box. It is in a workgroup with several MS computers. I have Samba runnning on the linux box and it shows up in XP network neighborhood. N\ow I need to access the ex Db instance remotely and I keep getting session timed out or 'does not exist' in Network listener config. I thought for sure setting up Samba on the linux box would allow windows boxes to access the db from their own Oracle clients but it is not happening. What am I doing wrong/
    TIA Dan

    I am trying to use Enterprise manager from a winblows workstation and when I type in the tns_names stuff it connects for a few seconds then closes.Enterprise manager ??? XE does not have Enterprise manager , maybe you mean Database Home page ?

  • Need Advice on Oracle database 10.2.0.4.0 on RedHat Linux AS 4

    Hi,
    I would like to know whether Oracle Database 10.2.0.4.0 is certified to run on the RedHat Linux AS 4 (Nahant Update 6) with HugeMem Kernel?
    actually, we were running the Oracle 10g(10.2.0.4.0) database on RedHat Linux AS 4 (Nahant Update 6) with SMP kernel. We faced "out of memory" error so we are planning to change the kernel to HugeMem from SMP.
    Any suggestions on this would be highly appreciated!!!
    Thanks in advance!!!
    Siva

    If you were facing the out of memory errors, could you elaborate more on the circumstances these errors showed up? You could be facing the same situation after upgrading the OS if you don't properly diagnose the root cause.

  • Need advice on oracle standalone/RAC hosts public hostname changes

    Hi, We just had a datacenter move and original oracle database hosts (including both standalone and RAC nodes) got changed their public hosntame, ip/vip, getway etc.
    I want to know do I have to deinstall everything then reinstall or a quicker way to deal with those?
    Thanks

    If just the public IP's or VIP's had changed this could be done without re-installing the binaries, using oifcfg and srvctl.
    However the change in hostname is not supported as per Oracle Note "RAC: Frequently Asked Questions [ID 220970.1]".
    It refers to the following to reconfigure your GI.....How to Modify or Deinstall Oracle Grid Infrastructure
    This reconfiguration will likely be quicker than a re-install.

  • I need help with oracle

    Hi,
    I need some help... if someone can help its great.
    I need to make a statement in Oracle SQL that read data from a file and insert in a Oracle Database ... if someone can show me the syntax of it i appreciate..
    Thanks

    Okay, I see you followed the advice in that other thread and started a new post for you question. Congratulations. Your next lesson in forum etiquette is to give your posts a more relevant subject. Pretty much everybody who posts here needs help with oracle; if they need help with cooking catfish they've come to the wrong place.
    It that other thread I suggested using SQL*Loader or External Tables might be a more suitable solution. Find out more.

  • Urgently  needs advice from DBA friend's here

    Buddies, I have posted similar type of thread before but it is a moment of total despair and huge challenge for me to survive, so looking for more & more ideas.. Well as per my background regarding Oracle I have very limited knowledge in SQL, almost nil knowledge in UNIX platforms. Recently I am assigned to a project where I need to perform Oracle DBA related tasks. The project is going to live Next Week on Monday and they all have Solaris 10 in their boxes. I have just one senior DBA sitting in onsite during US timing, so a good amount of responsibility lies on my shoulder. In the last post, I got to know that Oracle Documentation is an excellent way to start off as beginner but for grasping it is taking lot of time for me and I am getting lesser time to focus on both UNIX and Oracle at the same time. I love Oracle and getting rolled off from this project is not a solution for me. This forum have many veteran DBA's , so it will be great if anyone can give me any workaround or share any plan suitable for my scenario for me to survive here in this assignment.
    Any advices/input in this emergency time will be great for me.

    This is how I tend to approach a technical subject that I want to know more about, whether I am experienced or just a beginner.
    1. For the project at hand (immediate knowledge needs) use Google, OTN forums, blogs, expert websites like Ask Tom, online documentation, and personal contacts (coworkers, friends, etc). You need the information now, and someone probably has been there and has the answer you need.
    2. Never let anything go without understanding it. Too often I see people give up after the problem goes away and write it off as, "Well that was weird, oh well, moving on." Get to the root cause, dig deeper, do not stop studying that issue until you grok the topic.
    3. Read the best books cover to cover. This is not to solve your immediate problems. This is ongoing training. Pick up current, highly rated books and read. Get one on Oracle or Linux or whatever, and start at page 1 and just read. Just do 10-20 pages a day. Do not try to digest the whole thing at once. Even experienced people benefit from doing this. You can read 2 books at once if you want. One in the morning and one later in the day. I always have a book by my workstation that I read when I am waiting (for a reboot, for a process to finish, etc.). You would be amazed at how quickly you can get through 800 pages by just reading a little each day.
    4. Have a practice environment. You need to have a play area to try stuff out. It should be something other than the official Development environment. You need something you can completely trash and put back without affecting other people.
    5. Frequently challenge your assumptions and test your knowledge. Good ways to do this include trying to teach others / answer other people's questions. Also interact with people who know more than you do (in person, at conferences, at their websites).

  • Need advice for deploy adf web fusion application created in Jdev11gTp4

    hello,
    need advice for deploy adf web fusion application created in Jdev11gTp4
    and it will be nice if you have helper sites
    thanks
    greenApple

    Is there something specific in TP4 that you want to use TP4 - as John suggests, it might be an idea to use the full production release (11g). As for resources for information you can check out
    [Jdev Home|http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev] this page contains links to the developers guides and various how tos etc etc. The follownig page is also useful and is focused more to those who are less familiar with Java

    Hope this helps and maybe if you can be more specific we can better guide you.

  • Need advice regarding physical standby databases in rac environment on orac

    need advice regarding physical standby databases in rac environment on oracle 10G r2
    I like to have have a Primary ( 10 node RAC cluster ) shipping to a physical standby ( 3 node RAC cluster ) shipping using LGWR .
    So I have a lot of questions
    1) What will be the performance overhead on the Primay if we are using LGWR SYNC option .
    2) Does the overhead depends on the physical distance between primary & physical
    3)Do you recommend a seperate private network for shipping logs between primary and standby.
    4) I know that DGMGRL supports RAC only from 10g. So are there any know issues are bugs using DGMGRL is RAC environments.
    Thanks in advance
    -Satish

    Generally you should have same CPU architecture and same operating system but it's not mandatory to have the exactly the same CPU model, the same number of CPU, the same RAM size etc.
    Actually starting with 11.1 you don't need to have the same hardware setup: it 's even possible to have primary and standby database on different platforms: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28294/standby.htm#i72053.

  • Need advice about certification: do J2SE 1.4 or wait for 1.5 to go out?

    I need advice here! I am studing for Java Programmer certification (310-035) and I know now that the certification does not have any expiration date, instead it's version based. So, if I get now a J2SE 1.4 certification, soon it will be outdated... I guess!
    Does anyone know or have any ideia of WHEN java 1.5 sdk will be avaliable, and anyone can tell me how long it will take for a new 1.5 programmer certification be avaliable for general public?

    Do both. 1.5 is far enough away that you do not want to wait for it.
    And besides, 1.5 has enough new stuff in it that you'll want to recertify anyway.

  • Need advice on on a Mac Pro 1,1 Media Center

    I currently have a 2009 Mac Mini running as my home media center, but I recently came by a FREE Mac Pro 1,1 and have decided to repurpose it as my media center so I can migrate my Mac Mini to my bedroom TV where it will live an easy life doing nothing but run Plex Home Theater, Netflix, and EyeTV. This machine falling into my lap was also quite timely because my 4-bay Drobo is running low on available expansion and another Drobo isn't in the budget at the moment.
    This vintage mac pro is running Lion 10.7.5, has 1 old and crusty 500GB hardrive, dual x5160 processors, 4GB RAM (one stick i'm pretty sure is toast judging by the red light and the kernel panics), and the standard NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB graphics card. It will be used primarily for the following: network storage for iphoto and itunes libraries, streaming video, Plex Media Server & Plex Home Theater, and Handbrake encoding. I also have a goal of safety of data for my movies, photos and music as this machine will supplement my current Drobo storage.
    My plans are for a 128GB SSD boot drive installed in one of the PCIe slots and then to load up all 4 of the 3.5" drive bays with WD Green hard drives. I have also ordered 4GB of replacement RAM, so upon removal of the faulty unit I will have 7GB.
    Here is where I need advice because I am not very familiar with RAID and the differences between hardware or software raid. Am I better off getting four drives of the same size and setting them up as RAID 5 (I think) using Apple's RAID utility or should I throw in three 1TB drives and then install a fourth 3TB or 4TB drive as a Time Machine backup for the other three?
    Should I upgrade the OSX to the technically unsupported latest version? Or is it not worth the trouble for this application?
    Also, is there any benefit to upgrading the graphics card to the ATI Radeon 5770? Would this yield an improved image quality? I am outputting to a Denon AV Reciever and subsequently to a 100" projection screen, if that makes a difference. I also noticed the 5770 has an HDMI port, wich would be nice, but not necessary since I can use a DVI converter and woud still need to use the optical audio out anyway.
    Much obliged for any input

    My plans are for a 128GB SSD boot drive installed in one of the PCIe slots and then to load up all 4 of the 3.5" drive bays with WD Green hard drives. I have also ordered 4GB of replacement RAM, so upon removal of the faulty unit I will have 7GB.
    PCIe cards that use or support SSD are not bootable until you get to 2008 (and that is limited too).
    Green are not suited for any form of array unless say NAS and WD RED.  Better option would be 3 x 2TB WD Blacks in a mirror, and too many people only use two drives, well 3 is much easier safer and works better. Might want to invest in www.SoftRAID.com product even.
    Best price and quality, got my 1,1 with 8 x 2GB (ideal is 4 or 8 DIMMs)
    2x2GB FBDIMM DDR2 667MHz @ $25
    http://www.amazon.com/BUFFERED-PC2-5300-FB-DIMM-APPLE-Memory/dp/B002ORUUAC/
    With price of 250GB SSD $155 I'd go with that or stick with $89 for 128GB .

  • Need help in oracle data recovery

    Friends ,i need help in oracle data recovery.

  • Need advice on video software.

    Need advice on video software.
    I currently use adobe elements 3 and have done so for a few years now with no problems. my os is XP and my system is a couple of years old, but we do have a brand new win7 machine in the house.
    I am currently look at Cyberlink PowerDirector 8 Ultra OR Adobe Premiere Elements 8. Reviews for both softwares seem very good BUT, when I dig deeper into user reviews instead of editor reviews do I find problems.
    Major problems with program crashing all over the place, at start up etc, and it is still not getting along with any win7 machine? Major problems with drivers. Honestly, I do not want to have to jump through dozens of hoops to get any software to run. After I pay for it, it should run, period.
    Has anyone else here used both softwares and can you give an honest opinion of each?
    I am also asking these same questions on the cyberlink site.
    I would like to upgrade my video software to take advantage of the new features that are coming out but I really don't want a big headache trying to run one or the other. To be fair, when I bought adobe elements 3 I had also bought pinnacle, which has gathered dust since my first week with it, which is why elements was purchased. That was money wasted and I do not wish to repeat this. I would like to go with Premiere Elements 8 but remain very unsure.

    If your newer machine is Win7 64-bit, it might be worth waiting for SP-1 to be issued, and then hope that 64-bit drivers are fully included. The 64-bit drivers now seem t be an issue at this point, and that will affect any NLE program.
    Also, and regardless of which particular program you choose, optimizing your computer, the OS, the hardware, and the resources management, will go a very long way to insuring success. Few programs can tax a computer, as an NLE can - any NLE. Video and Audio editing will stress your system, like almost nothing else can, except for heavy-duty CAD, or 3D work, though those are usually done only on specialized, optimized computers, designed just for those applications.
    Not the specific advice that you seek, but it's the best that I can do.
    Good luck,

  • JMS to Synchronous Web Service Scenario (Need Advice to use BPM or Not)

    Hi Experts,
    We have a scenario where we fetch data from JMS Sender and Send it to MDM Webservices.
    We want to have the files processed in such a way that until we get a response from webservice back that it was sucessful ,then only we need to process the next file.
    We would need advice as can we use BPM for this.
    We are thinking of having BPM like this:
    RecieveStep(Asyn)-SynchronousSend Step(with wait)-Stop
    The problem with this is when processing huge files the processing time of the Queue is taking very long and sometimes we are getting SYSFAIL.
    Please would anyone advice as how can we approach this scenario either using BPM or without.
    Also Can we use multiple queues or multpile instances concept for this scenario.
    Please Advice.
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards
    J

    Hi Prateek,
    Thank you very much for your quick reply.
    The response from Webservice does not need to be sent anywhere.
    We just want that after recieving the response back from webservice(SOAP) then only we need to process the next file.
    Can we control something from Sender JMS adapter side as well as it is picking up all the files and all files wait at BPE until each one gets processed.
    Is this possible without BPM or with BPM.
    Please advice as what wud be possible steps inorder to achive it through BPM or Without BPM.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Major Issues with installing 4tb internal. Really need advice please

    In the process of a long needed upgrade to my 2010 Mac Pro Quad core 2.8 and have run into a serious headache that I really need advice on so I can get back to work. I've already spent 2 days dealing with all of this...
    Just did a new SSD install and Migration which went fine but I'm also updating the rest of the internal drives. My main (non boot) drive was being upgraded from a Seagate Barracuda 3tb to a 4th Deskstar NAS (it was showing as compatible with my desktop, see links below). My 3tb ran fine for years but now due to it being heavily used I want to switch to a new drive and I can also use a bit more space.
    The issue I'm running into is that initially on boot, my system was telling me it couldn't recognize the disk and it wasn't even showing up in Disk Utility. I had to purchase a SATA USB 3 kit to attach it as an external to get it to show which worked without problem. With the USB kit I was then able to partition it (GUID, Mac OS extended journaled) and format it properly. After reinserting the drive into my tower as an internal it failed to show again. After a few attempts of restarts and trying various bays it popped up but showed as a non formatted drive and I was told again that the system didn't recognise it. I was then given the option to initialise and was then actually able to then format and partition it though Disk Utility while it was installed as an internal.
    Figured that was problem solved but when I went to check the drive and getting ready to transfer files over I noticed that Disk Utility was only allowing the First Aid and Partition options but not Erase, RAID, Restore which I'd never seen before. I then also noticed that none of the drive connection info was in the same format nor will it even provide drive bay info, connection info or read/write status (See screen shots). This is what I can't figure out and really need to clarify before I put full trust into using this drive.
    Any info would be greatly appreciated...
    Deskstar 4tb internal info which is installed in Bay 2
    3tb Seagate which I trying to retire and transfer from.
    Here are the weblinks to the Deskstar 4tb drive and the compatibility list but I support isn't allowing me to add direct links so add the www. before hand.
    (Drive - eshop.macsales.com/item/HGST/0S03664/) (compatibility list - eshop.macsales.com/Descriptions/specs/Framework.cfm?page=macpromid2010.html).

    What OSX version?
    Disk Utility in later versions of ML and I think Mavericks have problems formatting with 4 TB internal drives.
