Need questions for an Oracle interview tomorrow.

Hi,
I have to interview someone tomorrow for and ETL/OWB 11.1 position.
The following are 20 (19 I had to delete one. It was nasty) of the toughest Oracle interview questions ever asked.
Obviously I can't ask them tomorrow for many legal reasons.
Are there any questions that you could suggest to me that I could ask that would be good interview questions? Serious ones that won't get me into trouble.
Meanwhile ,..., enjoy the list.

20 Oracle Interview Questions
    How long have you been using Oracle in terms of minutes?
    Why should this company lower its standards to hire you?
    What is the most effective way that Oracle can ring fence SAP? Do you have 99 more?
    I see you admiring my suit, I chose it because it's the same color as duct tape and you can't see the repairs.
    What innovation do you bring to your wardrobe?
    How many Oracle Fusion applications have you used?
   What do you do with Oracle Warehouse Builder other than build Oracle Warehouses?
    In the next ten seconds name five cabbage recipes and relate the back to PL/SQL functions.
    Name 9 Oracle CRM tools in reverse order of popularity.
    Describe the use of %ROWTYPE and %TYPE in PL/SQL using only this piece of paper and the ancient art of origami.
    Name three current Oracle BI partners and several dozen former partners.
    What do databases and chickens have in common?
    I can't ask about your race, sex, religion or weight but I can ask do you have a hot looking partner to bring to company functions?
    This is an immediate pass or fail question: what does the "i" stand for in Oracle 10i?
    How would you restore an Oracle database backup with corrupted backup control files if you are the only person in the office and you have super glued thick oven mitts onto both hands?
    Who do you hate more: IBM, Microsoft, SAP or the Welsh?
    Did you see that messenger in the film 300 who got kicked down the bottomless pit?
   How would you break bad news to Larry Ellison?
    Do you know how to skipper a yacht? Can you learn before the next Americas Cup?
    You're not from NZ are you? Oracle has kind of a NZ skipper hiring freeze on at the moment, and for the next 99 years.
    What are the SQL hints you can encode into an Oracle view to encode the correct index usage,
    optimize the join between tables and subliminally compel users to stop using SAP.
    Have you ever committed a federal crime, worked for a terrorist organization,
    acted as a torturer for a foreign dictator or downloaded support materials for TomorrowNow?

OMG :P

Need help for importing oracle 10G dump into 9i database

hi, Someone help me to import oracle 10G dump into 9i database. I'm studying oracle . Im using oracle 10G developer suite(downloaded from oracle) and oracle 9i database. I saw some threads tat we can't import the higher version dumps into lower version database. But i'm badly need help for importing the dump...
or
someone please tell me the site to download oracle 9i Developer suite as i can't find it in oracle site...

I didnt testet it to import a dump out of a 10g instance into a 9i instance if this export has been done using a 10g environment.
But it is possible to perform an export with a 9i environment against a 10g instance.
I am just testing this with a 9.2.0.8 environment against a 10.2.0.4.0 instance and is working so far.
The system raises an EXP-00008 / ORA-37002 error after exporting the data segments (exporting post-schema procedural objects and actions).
I am not sure if it is possible to perform an import to a 9i instance with this dump but maybe worth to give it a try.
It should potentially be possible to export at least 9i compatible objects/segments with this approach.
However, I have my doubts if this stunt is supported by oracle ...

Need steps for Installing Oracle 11g R2 Grid Infrastrucure in Suse Linix 10

Hi,
I have system with Suse Linux 10 (64-bit), in that i need to install the Oracle 11 R2 Grid Infrastructure for
1. Grid Computing
2. ASM Cluster.
Can any one please provide the Step by step installation to me.
Thanks With Regards
Baalaji V

Ideally, you need two nodes to install a RAC. If you have only one system and trying for practice, you can do it with Virutal machines(VM) or create it as single instance.
You can refer Oracle documentation on Grid install and postings in the internet about Grid install in using VM.

Question for using ORACLE with SOLARIS

Hi Experts,
I have worked Oracle with Linux in one of my projects 2yrs back and i was just a developer, used to write SQL Query, Creating Table and Objects.
Now i got a question from TL which is
Tell me about consequences for using Oracle with Solaris?
I am not worked ORACLE with SOLARIS, Can some one give me the answer for this question with
1. Difference between ORACLE with LINUX and ORACLE with SOLARIS.
2. Advantages and Disadvantages Between ORACLE with LINUX and ORACLE with SOLARIS.
Thanks,
MuraliDharan V

Hi MuraliDharan V,
It would had been better if you had searched first;
Here is one
Advantage for Linux64-bit Versus Solaris-x86_64 OS in RAC
And beside that your question is incomplete:
-What Oracle? Database, etc
-Which Version? 9i, 10g, etc
Aside from that a simple search on google might have answered your question as well.
But I think there is some new trend of dumping questions here before searching.

Need help for finding oracle payables tables

Hi,
I need help for finding tables relating fields INVOICE_ID, NOTIFICATION_ID and APPROVAL_STATUS or WFAPPROVAL_STATUS. I have searched a lot but has been unable to find any table containing all the above mentioned fields. I found the table WF_NOTIFICATIONS for INVOICE_ID, however have been unable to find the latest tables with INVOICE_ID and APPROVAL_STATUS as fields.
All the tables having this combination are either very old tables which are not used anymore or doesnt give the required data. Please let me know where am i going wrong. Once i get the required tables, i need to join the tables to get the required data with the imp fields. Also, the values of WFAPPROVAL_STATUS are not very clear to me. I need values for it as APPROVED, REJECTED AND INITIATED.

Hi Swetha,
You will have to manually make the table adjustments in all the systems using SE14 trans since the changes done using SE14 cannot be collected in any TR.
How to adjust tables :
Enter the table name in SE14. For ex for any Z master data(Say ZABCD), master data table name would be /BIC/PZABCD, text table would be /BIC/TZABCD. Similarly any DSO(say ZXYZ) table name would be /BIC/AZXYZ00 etc.
Just enter the table name in SE14 trans --> Edit --> Select the radio button "Save Data" --> Click on Activate & adjust database table.
NOTE : Be very careful in using SE14 trans since there is possibility that the backend table could be deleted.
How to collect the changes in TR:
You can collect only the changes made to the IO --> When you activate, it will ask you for the TR --> Enter the correct package name & create a new TR. If it doesn't prompt you for TR, just goto Extras --> Write transport request from the IO properties Menu screen. Once these IO changes are moved successfully, then the above proceduce can be followed using SE14 trans.
Hope it helps!

Pavan

Needed steps for installing oracle 10R2 on windows server 2003

Hi to All,
Can anybody give me steps for how to install oracle 10R2 on windows 2003 server in production environment and what is the preinstallation task and postinstallation task.
Thanks and Regards
Mohd Khaja

There is one pre-requisite that is missing from the documentation - ensuring that the administration team is adequately trained.
Since you are asking this question, I wonder whether your team is properly prepared for, and aware of, the possible nuances or changes from default that might be relevant to your environment.
For example, is your team familiar with the concept of Flashback Recovery Area and how it may fit, or conflict with, your production needs? Use of RMAN? Location of Oracle software Inventory and implications in your OS-level backup? How to configure both the software and the database to meet your Service Level Agreement requirements.
The referenced document is an excellent first step, as it asks some of the questions. If you are serious about production stability, you want to go through that as well as get appropriate level of expertise in your shop.

Question for register Oracle agent inside Zone

Hi All,
There is a question about register an Oracle agent inside zone:
Let�s say S1, S2 be the global zone for the hosts of a pair of Sun cluster, and zone1, zone2 as the non-global zone respectively.
Zone1 and zone2 with the zone path /dbzone, and the oracle binary is installed in zone1 and zone2�s local disk, with path /home/oracle/10.2 as the ORACLE_HOME.
Therefore, the corresponding path to the host S1 and S2 is /dbzone/root/home/oracle/10.2.
And when we register the Oracle HA resource, with input the oracle home as �/home/oracle/10.2�, it will prompt that the directory is not contain required Oracle file.
And if we change to �/dbzone/root/home/oracle/10.2�, it will prompt with error when create resource, with the message, S1:zone1, path �/dbzone/root/home/oracle/10.2� not exist.
We currently to solve the problem by moving the oracle binary to SAN disk, with mount point name �/u01/oradata/portal/oracle/10.2� on the both global and non-global zone.
I would like to ask that is there any missing syntax or any document about how to register ORACLE_HOME inside zone�s local disk?
Thanks,
Cheung

Cheung,
You probably haven't got the init<SID>.ora file in both ORACLE_HOME/dbs directories or something like that. Have a look at /var/adm/messages on both these zones and the global zone and see if there are any more hints as to what is missing.
Regards,
Tim

O8EE-WAS302 A question for the Oracle Team

I have installed O8EE and attempt to install WAS 302. It does
not give any mistake upon installing but when I execute owsctl
start www, says that it does not find the file libndwzp.so, the
directory where is found this file is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH
variable, and computer it is hung. As curious thing is that
permits me to execute owsctl start wrb and owsctl start admin,
and with the browser can use the administration pages. Before I
have installed O8+WAS302 and was operating. Some idea? It is
incompatible the version EE with WAS?

Mladen,
With all due respect, Oracle is providing their software free for evaluation (otherwise playing around at home and letting companies play with it for 30 days to show how it womps on MS SQL et al.) purposes only. Their product is a commercial product and asking you to join OTN to download it, helps them enforce that individuals are using it for only these purposes. Allowing anonymous access means that they have no idea of where there software is going and what it is being used for. I dont know if you have priced out Oracle but if you have, I think you would come to the conclusion that it is a tad expensive to purchase, just for learning and throwing it on a resume. They are asking that you be accountable and responsible for upholding your end of the agreement and not using it in manners other than specified. I think that is a reasonable request for access to software of this caliber. You do not see MS giving away Dev Studio or MS SQL for the price of a little user information now do you.

A question for Uninstalling Oracle

I remove all Oracle (database oracle9i and oracle9i AS) related entries from my registry and delete all oracle related files and folders from DOS and modify also the environment settings in deleting all string fragments that lead to Oracle. But i check by going contro panel->administor tools-> services and I find it exists always Service Oracle.
has anybody faced a similar issue. And how to resolve it
Best Regards

In the Windows registry, you can delete any keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services that begin with "Oracle" or "OraWeb".

Interview questions for oracle dba

Hi I am trying to find teh interview questions for oracle dba .
What will be your answer to the following questions. Can somebody shed some light...
. What is the day to day duties of oracle dba?
·     Did you use online or off-line backups?
·     What version of Oracle were you running?
·     Haw many databases and what sizes?
·     If you have to advise a backup strategy for a new application, how would you approach it and what questions will you ask?
·     If a customer calls you about a hanging database session, what will you do to resolve it?
·     Compare Oracle to any other database that you know. Why would you prefer to work on one and not on the other?
Thx
KK

. What is the day to day duties of oracle dba?
I have got a checklist, designed for my daily, weekly, fortnightly and monthly tasks. For example, in the daily checklist tasks, I check for the alert log file, competion and correction of my exports and operating system backups. DB space situation, Antivirus status, standby database status, space on disks, any rogue queries etc.
· Did you use online or off-line backups?
Both.
· What version of Oracle were you running?
8i(not any more), 9i, 10g
· Haw many databases and what sizes?
8 databases, ranging from 1 TB to 10 GB. I have segregated them into OLTP production, testing, cm, and development and a Datawarehouse.
· If you have to advise a backup strategy for a new application, how would you approach it and what questions will you ask?
How much they could afford to lose data or they want zero data loss and also I will get their requirements about down time and up time of database.
· If a customer calls you about a hanging database session, what will you do to resolve it?
First I will identify it, then see to it what exactly it is doing, capture that situation and then either try to release the locks(if its a blocking or blocked session), or kill the session, if its hanging on a runaway query.
· Compare Oracle to any other database that you know. Why would you prefer to work on one and not on the other?
Oracle passes the ACID rule with distinction as compared to the other databases. Moreover, the multiversion read consistency, recovery, flexibility and challenges of Oracle are matchless.
Cheers
