Need help, implementing streams between oracle 10g databases

Hello all.
Please help me, and give me instruction if any body implement streams between databases (Oracle 10g)
I have implemented streams between schema table on (10g) and result was success.
Firstly I want to know some thing, such as:
1) Is it possible make streams with conditions, (make only DML or DDL i know) but make DML and not DELETE operation, just INSERT and UPDATE operations on the table?
2) After changes was applied on target database, can I delete that records which copied (replicated) on source database?
I have 2 databases and one of them is for archive purpose (I want use it as target database for streams). Other one is PROD database, applications make DML operation.
I) record insert with null status
II) processing (status 1)
III) if success (status 2) unsuccess (status 3)
For now, I have cron script on (Linux host) and in this script has PLSQL anonymous block and it works couple times during the day. This script works as archive.
My task is: Make it via Oracle streams.
Thank you beforehand.

For conditions on the type of operation (Insert) check in the doc after apply handler and you can associate what ever code and conditions you want. You can also choose to work with a subset rules but there are some restriction as no lobs :

Need help w. connecting to oracle 10g express

I have been having extreme difficulty with connecting to oracle 10g express edition. what do I put in at the SQL > prompt to access sql plus? Are there first some env. variables which I need to set? Sorry for the basic "newbie" question about this.

what do I put in at the SQL > prompt to access sql plus?You may trySQL> conn / as sysdbabut don't use this one for your application data, create your own user(s) instead.
Are there first some env. variables which I need to set?Depends... what's your operating system, and are you running sqlplus from SQL command line or from OS prompt ?

Oracle 10g Database conflicts with HTMLDB

Hai all,
I have encountered a strange conflict when I am trying to work out with Oracle 10g database and the famous HTML DB.
It is like this:
I have a 10g DB installed and an ASP application that works on this 10g instance via "Microsoft ODBC driver for oracle" perfectly.
Now I have downloaded and installed the 10g Companion CD and installed the HTML DB 1.5 along with the mandatory Apache web server. Good!! I could scrawl through the database using the HTML DB, creating applications, forms, items and etc fancy things without any issues.
The problem that I found was:
The ASP based application that used to work initially now is erroring out saying that "TNS could not resolve service name".
I thought that the Listener might be damaged or the ASP site was damaged or the Microsoft ODBC driver files were damaged and several other vauge guessings.
I have tested the issue in several ways (reinstalled oracle, the DB, the ASP Applicaton, re-configurin listener in a variety of ways) but every time installing BLINDLY the companion CD too. Nothing seem to work.
Then I recollected that the same issue I have encountered in the past with the installation of Oracle 8i and Developer 2000, where the TNS listener configured by the former damages the one configured by the later and vice-versa.
Basing on this past reminiscence, I finally stopped installing Companion CD over the Oracle installation and carried out the DB installation and the ASP based app. And everything worked fine.
CAN anybody tell me what is going wrong with these two oracle products(Oralce 10g DB and the HTML DB+Apache)?
WHY always the installation of a CLIENT SW (Developer, HTML DB etc) damages the connection with the database via ODBC drivers?
Many Thanks in advance.
Ravi

Dera Mr. Tyler,
Thanks for your reply...I have implemented the solution that you have given for the TNS Listener conflict and everything works fine...
Here I have one more thing thats not working as I thought. do kindly help me out.
My requirement is to show the list of available storage drives (say C:, d:, e: etc on windows) available on the database server. Let me eloborate my problem well....
i have a Java App that executes a specific SQL script to create a tablespace, a user and the required db objects that my applicaiton needs.
if the Java App runs on the same machine where the oracle instance is running, the Java app pops up a list of available drives on the machine, creates a directory for the tablespace datafiles on the drive selected from the above list box, then runs the script which creates the tablespace and the rest of the things.
But if i run the Java app from another machine on the network, then my BLIND java app is popping up the drives of the local machine but NOT those from the oracle server machine and creates the folder on the local machine but not on the Oracle server and obviously the rest of the phases (tablespace creation itself) are failing as the required folder is not found on the oracle server machine.
the work arounds that i am thinking are:
a) use java ->
get the IP of the oracle server machine ->
use some java api such as java.net, java.io etc ->
create the required folder on the server machine instead of the local machihe
ISSUE: Java network programming is too tough for me(excuse me for this..i am not too good!!)
b) use some oracle sql or pl/sql api s to do the same
ISSUE: not found one!!!!
c) create a java stored procedure/function to get the list of drives of the oracle server and return as a string variable. then call this proc from the Java app once connected to the database....
ISSUE: i have created the SO-CALLEd java func. no compilation or loading errors. but there is no o/p either. but the same code when i run as a java class is showing the desired o/p. here is the code piece...can you please help me out!!!
-------Java Stored Function------
import java.io.*;
public class HDDLister
     public static String listDrives()
          String rootsList = "Available Roots: ";
          try
               File[]roots = File.listRoots();
               for (int i=0;i<roots.length;i++)
                    rootsList += roots.toString();
                    rootsList += "#";
          catch(Exception ex)
               rootsList = ex.toString();
          return rootsList;
-------Command to publish the Funciton-------
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION HDDLISTER
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'HDDLister.listDrives() return java.lang.String';
and finally the point of the problem is, once we show the drives available on the server machine to the user and the user selects a drive, how to create a folder on the server machine???
Thousands of thanks in advance

Problem to connect between Oracle 10g xe and VB2010 at Vista sp2

Introduction
Hi guys, good day... NEED RESCUE!! SOS!! Hmm.. i have trouble been 1 weeks trying connect between Oracle 10g xe and VB2010 on window vista sp2. Actaully im very new at Oracle 10g xe and VB2010 but i got a project is going to build up system database and i figure out Oracle 10g xe and VB2010 can use free so i just chows these appication to be my project. I been search around internet and there is several things i was found about the connection but i has try and tried still it wont work out.
Things i found and learned
Oracle
1. I have download Oracle 10g XE and installed in my windows vista sp2.
2. I notice the Oracle Developer Tools is needed for VB2010 (To add reference 'Oracle.DataAccess'). So i was downloaded ODT11beta and installed
3. I also edit TNSNAMES to following below:
OraDb =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = shin-PC)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
4. My sqlnet like following below:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
5.I have try tnsping OraDB and its works.
6. I monitoring task manager and OracleServicesXE is running.
7. ora_dba is added in Group.
Problem in SQLPLUS
When i try connect SQLPLUS in cmd i get ERROR: ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
i . In cmd i type sqlplus and enter then i been ask for username and password.
ii. After i insert my username and password and enter then i get the error of ORA-12560.
Visual Basic 2010
1. First i created my project, drawing label and button for test connection.
2. Then, i add reference Oracle.DataAccess into my project.
3. I type following script into my vb form:
Imports System.Data
Imports Oracle.DataAccess.Client
Imports Oracle.DataAccess.Types
Public Class Logon
Private Sub cmdLogon_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdLogon.Click
Dim oradb As String = "Data Source = OraDb; User Id = system; Password = shin;"
Dim conn As New OracleConnection(oradb)
conn.Open()
Dim cmd As New OracleCommand
cmd.Connection = conn
cmd.CommandText = "select SName from Staff where SName = shin"
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
Dim dr As OracleDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
dr.Read()
lblOra.Text = dr.Item("SName")
conn.Dispose()
End Sub
End Class
Problem in VB2010
When i run my project and press the button i get error message ORA-12514: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified at conn.Open()
Extra Question*
1. Im notice in my netbook xp home sp2, before i install ODT11beta my sqlplus look fine thought cmd but after i installed ODT11beta its same problem with my Vista sp2 now. Get error ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error :( I tried uninstall ODT11beta again and restart its work fine again. Which i really dun understand. Izzit the version ODT11 is not suitable for 10g xe? And i dunno this problem is related with my connection between oracle 10g xe and vb2010 or not. So confuse@@
2. I wish to know more about connect between Oracle and VB, is there still a things i miss?(I mean steps or configuration that should i done)
3. Or i just lower my VB version could make more easy? If yes, what version VB should i use that could work out with oracle 10g xe?
4. Sorry for too bad my english but i really wish somebody could help me. Please try to understand my written or you could ask me mean if dont understand. Im stuck!! Stuck feel not really that good.....

Huhu..
Yo, henry
I thought the OraDb is just a name for entry but im not sure it is a service. I was refer http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/cook-vs08.html at topic Connection Strings and Objects.
Here is my lsnrctl service

Izzit ok? I notice there is no listed OraDb. but tnsping OraDb seem fine.
Actually there is somethings as a newbie i wondering long time alreadly ><
1. The origin of tnsname.ora is no OraDb or ORCL but i just simple add it by open tnsname.ora with notepad. Im just not sure it is function or not.
Also please check at my TNSNAME.ORA:
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = shin-PC)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)

I got the feeling there is so close~~~!!!

Export and import Oracle 10G database

Hello all
Can anyone tell me once for all how can i backup oracle 10G database and restore it in other computer (export and import)
thanks alot

Do you can access to metalink?
If not, I copy an paste this doc's....
Doc ID: Note:10767.1
Subject: How to perform FULL System Export/Imports
Type: BULLETIN
Status: PUBLISHED
Content Type: TEXT/X-HTML
Creation Date: 18-APR-1994
Last Revision Date: 30-AUG-2002
Purpose
This article highlights some important points to consider when performing
a Full System Export and Import.
Scope and Application
It is intended to assist users performing FULL System Exports and Imports.
A Full System Export and Import is a useful way to replicate or clean up
a database. Please note the following guidelines when performing a Full
System Export and Import:
1. When performing the import, ensure you are pointing at the correct
instance. Always check values for the SID and two task driver before
proceeding.
*Note: On Unix systems, just entering a sub-shell, such as using
C-shell, can change the database that the import would work
against.
2. When possible, it is advisable to take a physical copy of the
exported database and the database you intend to import into before
starting the import. This ensures any mistakes are reversible.
3. NEVER run a FULL SYSTEM IMPORT on a machine that has more than one
database UNLESS you are 100% sure all tablespaces have been
pre-created. A full import will create any undefined tablespaces
using the same datafile names as the exported database. There are
situations where this is very dangerous:
-> If the datafiles belong to ANY other database, they will be
CORRUPTED. This is especially true if the exported database is
on the same machine, because its datafiles will be re-used by
the database you are importing into.
-> If the datafiles have names that clash with existing operating
system files.
4. When exporting, it is advisable to also produce a report showing
information you may need before / after the import:
-> List the tablespaces and datafiles
-> List the rollback segments
-> List a count, by user, of each object type such as tables,
indexes, etc.
This enables you to ensure that tablespaces have been pre-created
and to check the success of the import after it is complete.
5. If you are creating a completely new database from an export, remember
to create an extra rollback segment in SYSTEM, and make this available
in the init.ora file before proceeding with the import.
6. There are some versions of export that do not retain sequence numbers
correctly. It is advisable to select next_value for each sequence
after the export so that these can be checked after import.
Following these guidelines will help you to avoid major problems.

Subject: How To Copy an Oracle Database To Another Machine
Type: HOWTO
Status: PUBLISHED
Content Type: TEXT/X-HTML
Creation Date: 12-OCT-2001
Last Revision Date: 01-OCT-2003
goal: How to copy an Oracle database to another machine
fact: Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition
fix:
Pre-requisites: The copy is between 2 machines, both have to be on the same OS
and have to have exactly the same database version installed.
1. Make sure the database you want to copy was closed with a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE,
SHUTDOWN NORMAL or SHUTDOWN TRANSACTIONAL.
2. Copy init.ora and control files to create instance and be able to go in
mount mode. Check the init.ora for the locations where the controlfiles have
to be, if those locations are not valid on the machine put the control files on
different places and adjust the init.ora accordingly.
3.a. Copy the datafiles (all of them).
b. Copy the redo-logfiles (all of them).
4.a. (Unix only) Set the environment variables:
ORACLE_SID - set to the database name you wish to create
ORACLE_HOME - set to full pathname of the Oracle system home directory
PATH - needs to include $ORACLE_HOME/bin
b. (NT/2000 only) Do 'set ORACLE_SID=<SID>'
Use oradim to create the service for the instance. For more information
on oradim please refer to (the part that refers to creating a new instance):
Note:68720.1 Creating a new 7.3, 8.0, 8.1 Instance/Database
5. Use servermanager (check the name to use for your version of oracle) or
sqlplus (version 9i and above) to startup the database in mount mode.
Do
CONNECT INTERNAL/<PASSWORD>
then
STARTUP MOUNT
Then do a rename of the copied datafiles if they are not in the same path as on
the other machine. For all the files that are in the result of the query:
SELECT NAME FROM V$DATAFILE;
do
ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '<oldfullpath>\<filename>' to <
newfullpath>\<filename>';
6. Query the datadictionary for the old location of the redolog files using:
SELECT MEMBER FROM V$LOGFILE;
If the new place is not the same as the old do:
ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '<oldfullpath>\<redologfilename>' to &
lt;newfullpath>\<redologfilename>';
7. Now open the database:
ALTER DATBASE OPEN;

Connect Oracle 10g client to the Oracle 10g database behind a firewall

I need to connect an Oracle 10g client to the Oracle 10g database (windows server 2003 box) behind a firewall. I ran into this problem: Port redirection. Port redirection requires the Oracle client to connect to the database using a different port (usually a randomly selected TCP port) than the default or originally configured one. If there is no firewall between the server and the client, port redirection will not affect the actual connection. However, if port redirection does occur with the server behind a firewall, the client will be likely to suffer from a connectivity failure. The reason is simple: the newly assigned port based on port redirection is often blocked by the firewall. Such failures are not uncommon on Windows platforms.
I don't know how to stablished an unique TCP port.
I Enabled USE_SHARED_SOCKET on the Oracle database server, windows registry. Acording to what I read,that will force the server machine to share its port 1521 and thus all clients will stay on that port when connecting to the database. Noticeably, port redirection will not occur with USE_SHARED_SOCKET enabled, but that's true in oracle 8 or oracle 9. In oracle 10g this solution doesn't work.
I will apreciate any help about this. Please!
Thanks in advanced.

Three solutions in order of preference
1 Use Connection Manager on the server (only installed using a Custom Install). This will tunnel all traffic through a single port. It will also allow you to configure allowable nodes
2 Set up shared server to use a fixed port. Disadvantage: shared server has overhead and the number of connections is limited
3 Use shared_sockets. Disadvantage: when you stop the listener everyone is disconnected.

I go to the DOS console and type:
c:> sqlplus scott/tiger@ORCL
and I get:
ERROR: ORA-28000: the account is locked
I did this right after I restarted my computer.
When I use the Enterprise Manager at:
http://localhost:5500/em/
I get for ORCL:
Status: Status Pending
Status Pending Since: Unavailable
Seems that I can never get the database started properly?! When I press the Startup/Shutdown button I get:
Current Status: open
This is the correct current database status, although it doesnot match the current status in the sitemap page
What does this mean? Do you think this may contain the clue to the answer to this problem?
When I restart the Database I get the same status: unavailable.
I need your help to resolve this problem. The alternative is to revert back to Oracle 9i DB Server. Thank you in advance.

I can help you with the SCOTT account being locked. Try:
sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
alter user scott identified by tiger account unlock;

We are getting ¿ stored into our Oracle 10g database (Microsoft fault)

We are getting ¿ stored into our Oracle 10g database that is using WE8ISO8859P1 character set.
Problem is caused by the following:
Microsoft released software (in particularly MS Word) before considering any ANSI or ISO standard (although they claimed so).
At that time of pioneering graphical interface - they were the standard. Since then things changed. Microsoft initially targeted US marked, however very soon they wanted to expanded to Europe. For that they needed to get standardized character set instead of one initially being in use. Microsoft re-mapped character set in newer applications using Windows-1252 character set which is compatible with ISO-8851-1 (we are using in our Java Web applications). That cleared obstacles to forward on European market, where extended characters are necessary (like in French, Dutch, German languages...)
What happened with the initial character codes before Microsoft agreed with ISO to standardize characters? Well - Nothing.
So what are the consequences of that?
If we are using Microsoft Word document in conjunction with one of the oldest character set (universe) the ice-age character mapping is still there. So when we "cut and paste" the content to another application, characters sets are not mapped anymore. Especially French language "is sensitive to this" The Microsoft character set in Word decimally coded 146 ( ' ) is very often used in French.
Therefore if the text is generated in MS Word using old character mapping (universe) which we do, and using method of "cutting and paste" we are mismatching character set interpreted by other, newer applications.
Initially in the MS words (apostrophe) ' had code 191; then later after implementing Windows 1252 character set being moved to code 146 in accordance to ISO. Well ISO threat character coded 191 as ¿. So if you are using MS Word universe character set, ' looks like ' but in newer applications or ISO compatible applications it looks like ¿.
Can anyone provide me with periodically cleanup routines that replace garbled characters entered by Microsoft applications into Oracle database ?
Thanks

I need this for installing obiee 11g in my laptop which have win 7 4gb ram.
I tried installing Database 11g and obiee 11.1.1.5g simple install still 4GB RAM seems not sufficient.
TIA

The only 10gR2 version certified with Win 7 (Pro or higher, Home version is not supported) is 10.2.0.5 - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/relnotes.102/b15680/toc.htm#BABEBBJF
10.2.0.5 is only available on My Oracle Support, which you do not have access to, so you will need to install 11gR2 that is available at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html

Is it possible to install Oracle 10g database on a linux Os ?

Hello all,
I recently installed Fedora 14, and oracle 10g free edition, on my modest laptop.
Problem is , I can't upload any scripts, because as i recently learnt from my school teacher, Oracle only works smoothly with Internet explorer browser (i.e.).
I tried using programs like winetricks to download a linux version of i.e. but in this case Oracle doesn't even open its homepage.
-In a nutshell, does anyone know a possible way to work with oracle 10g , (or any alternative), that's fully functional on linux (fedora 14) ? Download, Install steps,etc.
All i need to do is upload simple SQL scripts, and practice my " select from...." commands.
-Is oracle linux a option ? and what is it?
Thank you already for any replies, I'm really getting tired of googling threw different forums.

-what i was trying to do was, after having installed oracle 10g , "go to data base homepage" (openend by firefox) , once logged in with my username, upload a script , and practice typing the different (select from ...group by..etc) sql commands.
Here is one of several concepts you need to fix in your mind. Databases don't have home pages. Client applications do. Databases store and manage data. Humans at the keyboard see the client application, not the database. Oracle provides some client apps ( iSQLPlus, Oracle Enterprise Manager (Grid Control), dbcontrol, APEX) and even installs some with the database by default, but they are distinctly separate from the database, and so must be identified when talking about user interface issues. Unfortunately, telling us you tried to open "the home page of oracle" tells us nothing at all. If you had said "Tried to log in with iSQLPlus" or "I tried to connect with Apex", it would have conveyed MUCH more information. We would have then had some frame of reference as to what you were seeing.
To the "upload from where" question : I simply copied the scripts ( .sql , file) from the pc's from school, on usb, then copied them on my own system. When using the "upload scripts" option from oracle, Again, you must distinguish between "oracle" (the database) and whatever client tool you use to connect to it. "Oracle" (the database) doesn't have an "upload scripts" option. Some un-named application does.
the script is uploaded, but when i try to "run" it , nothing , blank page. no tables, nada. And given what I've said above, you can guess what this statement means. - grin -
My first guess was, well the teacher said " i.e. only " , so i tried installing i.e. , using winetricks, but i had a feeling i was going off-track, and that surely there must have been a much easier way.
Even Billy was more charitable toward your teacher than I feel. And when he is so wrong about something as simple as this, makes me wonder what else he is wrong about. And the quality of the teachers calls into question the quality of the school in general.
In fact, had I been told that by an instructor, I would make it a personal mission to prove him wrong. Not in front of the class (as much short term satisfaction as that may provide) but just by taking my laptop to his office and saying "let me show you something". One of my personal hot buttons is for someone who should know better to pronounce something as "won't work" when I've been doing it for so long and so easily as to just take it for granted.

Linux (fedora 14) is up and running,
oracle 10g , linux version, was installed using detailed guide.
And yes, i will look into oracle linux, and oracle 11g ,
but i was hoping to use the same version as my school, to avoid any surprises when passing my exams.Edited by: EdStevens on Jun 13, 2011 3:02 PM

How to create ODBC connection between Oracle 10g and MS SQL Server

Hi,
Can someone help us with the steps to create an ODBC connection between Oracle APPS using Oracle 10g database and MS SQL Server.
Requirement is to extract the transactional data from MS SQL Server on a daily basis and dump it into Oracle tables for an interface to be run. Currently it is being done through Dataloader tool which we feel is causing the data issue with Arabic characters. We want to create the ODBC directly between Oracle and MS SQL Server and check if the data is being pulled correctly.
The data is in sql server 2000 which has data in Arabic_CI_AS character set which is moved to Oracle 10.2.0.3 database with characterset AL32UTF8. The table data is moved to oracle using the dataloader 3.6 standard edition licensed version. We cannot change the character set of Sql Server 2000.
Please help
Thanks
Shanil

Hi,
If you're trying to PULL data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you wouldnt use Oracle ODBC driver for that, so you may want to post in the Heterogeneous Services forum instead:
Heterogeneous Connectivity
If you're trying to PUSH data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you could use ODBC but most folks use OLEDB for that, and the following note on MOS should help:
How to Create a Sql Server Linked Server With The Oracle Provider for OLE DB (Doc ID 191368.1)
As with any NLS related issue, the first thing to do is dump the codepoints of the data in the Oracle database to see if it is stored validly, rather than relying on what the data "looks like" from some tool or other. It's best to check a single row, with only a few characters in it if you can, and you can do that via
SELECT DUMP(<columname>,1016) FROM <tablename> WHERE ...
Hope it helps,
Greg

How to setup management server in oracle 10g database

guys,
i've installed oracle 10g database into my machine. but i don know how to setup the management server (for scheduling owb10g process flows). unlike 9idb, we have an option emca to setup the management server. if anyone of u knows abt it, please help me. do i need to install the grid control just to have the scheduling mechanism? please advice.

Well, it depends heavily on what operating system you're using, what mail server you're trying to install, your network topology, etc. Realistically, this is a question that is probably better asked in a forum for whatever mail server you're trying to install...
