Need to open database

I've been given a supposed Oracle database with an extension of .DB
Additional files provided to me had extensions of .bi .lg and .lic
I don't work in an Oracle database environment, but need to extract the data for import to SQL tables.
Are these Oracle extensions and if so, any thoughts on how I can access the tables within?
Thanks in advance.

An Oracle database consists of dozens of files. People, over the years, have associated them with different extensions. Since Oracle really does not care what the extension is, some people have arbitrarily created their own associations.
At this time, I do not recognize any of those extensions as typical in an Oracle environment.

Tried opening a file in library and it states can't open database with library name? It says Relaunch then will not open? and Blocks me completely from Aperture. I have to go to Finder to Rename it? I need this file how do I get it to open?

Aftershotz,
You're going to have to give a bit more information.
What do you mean by "opening a file in library?" There is no function of Aperture to open files -- you can open (switch) libraries.
You'll have to be more specific about error messages, too. Perhaps some screenshots would be useful to diagnose your problem. "Can't open database with library name" is not enough detail about what Aperture is really telling you.

Need clarification on OPEN DATABASE options

Hello all:
After a smooth restore/recover of a closed, consistent backup (NOARCHIVELOG mode),
what are the options and ramifications for (NO)RESETLOGS?
RMAN reports ORA-01589 if only OPEN DATABASE cmd used, and it appears that NORESETLOGS is not valid.
Since the backup is consistent, what does RESETLOGS actually do in this case?
Here is my outline:
* Scenario: lost all files including CONTROLFILE, SPFILE, datafiles
* Backups created by RMAN available, including AUTOBACKUP
* Backups of Network and Database files
* (Re-)Install Oracle Database Software and re-establish services
* Connect to RMAN
* Ensure Instance is shutdown
* Set Database ID
* Start but do not mount the instance
* Recover SPFILE from AUTOBACKUP
* Create PFILE from SPFILE, examine it and verify initialization parameters, locations
* Restore Password file via COPY command
* Bounce database instance to ensure use of restored SPFILE initialization parameters
* Mount database
* Recover datafiles
RMAN> RUN {
RESTORE DATABASE;
RECOVER DATABASE NOREDO;
* Open Database ???
Thanks in advance for any help,
Bob

great Paul - thanks for the prompt reply, filling in those pesky gaps in my grey matter!
now let´s see: as I restored the control file from an RMAN autobackup of a database in NOARCHIVELOG mode, any backups registered in that control file (RMAN in NOCATALOG mode) should be unusable after RESETLOGS, true?
if so, then an immediate new closed, consistent backup and we´re off to the races again, yes?

When I need to open a folder on the desktop takes long time to open, so it is with the hard drive?, I'm using Maverick

The system boots without any problem, applications without a problem when I'm on the desktop and I need to open folders taking forever to open and for a moment I open and blocks other thing that the colored circle appears, use ten folders on the desktop where I'm keeping this information and take process and lock the desktop makes my job a little slow, and does anyone know anything about all of this as repairing system error?

Have then select one of the photos and type Command+i. In the Info window that comes up check to see which application is set as the default application. If it's iPhoto therein lies the problem. Regardless of what is set for the default select Preview and click on the Apply to All... button. See if that will fix the problem.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

My Catalog - "Can't open Database" error

After being able to open Photoshop Album Starter Edition successfully and without incident several months ago, one day I received this error:
"Problem opening the Catalog named "My Catalog". Another user or application may have the catalog open, or one or more files may be missing, out of date, or damaged. [Microsoft] [ODBC Microsoft Access 97 Driver] can't open database 'unknown'. It may not be a database that your application recognizes or the file may be corrupt. Attempt to compact and recover this catalog then try again? - OK or Cancel"
If I choose OK, then I get another error:
"Catalog Recovery Incomplete - A problem was encountered during catalog recovery. Your catalog may be ok, but if you experience problems with it that can't be resolved through the Reover Catalog option or restarting your computer system you may need to restore this catalog from a backup. - OK"
That goes to a 3rd error message:
"Unable to open "My Catalog because it is damaged. Please choose: Open existing or Create a new catalog named My Catalog-1.psa"
If I choose existing, it goes to the folder where My Catalog is stored, I can click it, and then I receive the first message. If I choose create a new catalog, it does, then gives me the first error message. PSA SE never opens, but the photo downloader appears in my Task bar Notification area, and I can Launch, Enable/Disable or Exit that program. If I try to acquire a photo, I end up with the same first error message.
I've seen the other threads that address what may be close to this issue, and I've done all the fixes suggested, short of reinstalling WindowsXP, which I'd rather avoid, but I've had no luck - I still get the exact same error messages.
I am using Office 97, including Access, Word, Excel, etc. but I'm not having any issues with those. I'm also using Pagemaker 7.0 and no issues there related to a catalog or database. I did have at one time a trial copy of Illustrator, and this problem started occurring after that trial was expired. I've since uninstalled Illustrator, done all the fixes suggested here, deleted the My Catalog files, restarted, uninstalled and re-installed PSA SE3.2, and still it cannot 'see' My Catalog.
Any other suggestions (besides upgrading to Office-this decade, which I would love, but employer hasn't made that leap yet.)? TIA
Tracey

No, no multiple users on this machine, or on that application. Both are located on the C: drive of a computer with intranet and internet access.
Could it have anything to do with the application Microsoft Access? [Microsoft ODBC Access97 driver] is named in the first error message. Access97 was always on this computer, but it wasn't actually put into use until about 6-8 months ago, and it was sometime after I started using it that I could no longer open PSA-SE. Connection? Fixable?

Need to Open Another jspx page as popup from template

Hi everyone,
I have one more question about popups and template. I'm working on JDev 11gU2 ADFRC
I have one template for my all pages, and there is a link on my template to show user information. for that i need to fetch the info of logged in user from database. so i must have to make a page definition of my user info page.
But problem is when i click the info link from my template to open user info page. it is not opening and giving page refresh error.
actually in my template the page source is -

Can't open database homepage from different windows-user

Hello!
I've lost my user in which i installed Oracle Express 10 database. Now I'm using a different user-account (also with Admin rights) but I can't open the database homepage or log-in to sqlplus. I get the insufficient rights error. Which rights should i set and where?
Thanks

I use oracle 9i and run on Linux Advance Server 3.0...
i can log in via sqlplus or oem by "sys" and "any password" , but the instance status in oem is "Shutdown". when i attempt to "Open" that instance i got the error message above...
why i can login as sys and any incorrect passwd?
what else need to configure in order to open database?
Thank for your help...

Getting ora-01113 error while opening Database after recovery

HI all,
we have a test database. I lost my entire database including DBFs, controlfiles, Archived logs, redo log files.
But I have a hot backup copy of the lost database.
I tried to recover database using backup copy
I restored my control files and all dbfs and then when i tried to recover database I got the following message
RMAN-00571: ==============================
RMAN-00569: =ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =
RMAN-00571: ===============================
RMAN-03002: failure of recover command at 04/01/2005 14:14:43
RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown log: thread 1 scn 32230460
still i tried to open database resetlogs but i got following eror
RMAN> alter database open resetlogs:
ORA-01113: file 5 needs media recovery
ORA-01110: data file 5: C:\DB11\ORADATA\DB11\system01.dbf
I dont have any redo logs and archivelogs. Can anyone help me how to open the database
thanks and regards

no there is no other way allowresetlogs_corruption is one of the last resort unless oracle dont recommend,usually you got this error when restored datafile is far behind then others datafile CKPT SCN+COntrolfile CKPT SCN header.

You will have to apply enough redo to that datafile either from archivelog or from online redo log file,if you cant then no way you can open the database except using allowresetlogs_corruption with the oracle recommendation.
Think why archivelog backup ,database backup and online redo log file, controlfile redundency is recommended.

Open database using resetlogs

i am using 10g release 2 on oel 5.5
i am having cold backup of my db
i am also having a trace of control file
i added a few tablespace and tables then my redo and control files were deleted
i recreated the controlfiles using the trace resetlogs method
and then i recover the database using backup control file until cancel
applied all the archives available
then i opened the database using resetlogs but the database is not opening saying that file system01.dbf requires more rcovery
so what should i do now to open the database??

this is my alert log

Open database with corrupt datafile

hi.. all
i'm use oracle10g R2 on RHEL 3 ,because power outage my datafile INDEXES.dbf was corrupted and i can't open my database with this corrupted datafile , i'm try to recover the corrupted block with blockrecover command using RMAN and block recover finished and i'm still cann't open my database .

i'm run my db in noarchivelog mode.
i need to open my database ( i have a dump file for my schema from yesterday)
please help me

Hi
If block level recovery is fin thru RMAN then open the database in mount state then do recover database and then open the database.
The above procedure is not work then you need to recreate the controlfile with existing datafile except that corrupt file. After recreating do full imp. It will solve the issue.

Master unable to open database

I am trying to run a replicated Berkeley DB instance and while the environment is created successfully and the master is elected, when the master attempts to open the database it returns an ENOENT. According the the documentation (and replication guide) this type of error occurs upon open when a replica attempts to open the database when it has not been created yet. While this makes sense for the replica, it doesn't seem like the master should ever return this error, particularly since the master has the DB_CREATE flag set. It is unclear to my why it is that the master replica is unable to open the database, does anyone know why this is occurring?
Here is the relevant code:
try
u_int32_t envFlags;
// First initialize the database enviroment information
envFlags = DB_CREATE | // If the environment does not exist, create it.
DB_RECOVER | // Run normal recovery
DB_INIT_LOCK | // Initialize locking
DB_INIT_LOG | // Initialize logging
DB_INIT_MPOOL | // Initialize the cache
DB_INIT_TXN | // Initialize transactions
DB_INIT_REP | // Initialize replication
DB_THREAD; // free-threaded (thread-safe)
env_->set_errfile(stderr);
//Sets verbose output to make replication easier to debug
env_->set_verbose(DB_VERB_REPLICATION, 1);
//Configure the local server
env_->repmgr_set_local_site(local_.ip.c_str(), local_.port, 0);
env_->repmgr_add_remote_site(replica.ip.c_str(), replica.port, NULL, 0);
env_->rep_set_nsites(2);
//If a role is specified then set the databases priority accordingly.
switch ( r )

Can anyone help? Thank you.

dbFileName is "./dbs/test.db" and the dbs folder exists. I tried putting 777 permissions on the folder as well as using " dbs/test.db" to no avail.
I removed the database and all logs and ran it again for the same time as before and below is the db_printlog output:

IllegalStateException: There are 2 open Databases in the Environment.

Does anyone have any advice on properly handling these exceptions? I get this occasionally on an Environment.close call:
SEVERE: Exception in thread "pool-11-thread-4"
SEVERE: java.lang.IllegalStateException: There are 2 open Databases in the Environment.
Closing the following databases:

That is thrown on the "environment.close" line in this section:
private void closeEnvironment() {
if (environment != null) {
try {
environment.close();
} catch (DatabaseException e) {
System.err.println("Error closing environment: " + e.toString());
... which is called as a "finally" at the end of my insert function. Should I just catch these and ignore them? Or is there something I should be doing to prevent these from occurring?

Hi Justin,
JE data is stored via Database objects. When you using the DPL, your EntityStore opens and closes the Databases for you. If you don't call EntityStore.close, it won't close the Databases and you'll get this "warning exception" when you close the Environment. Note that if you open/construct an EntityStore more than once, you'll have to close each instance.
If you only see this message occasionally, I suspect that you're getting an exception during your app processing, before you close your store. The exception causes you to skip your normal shutdown code, that closes the store, so the store is not closed. You're probably not catching this exception and logging it, and it is not thrown upward because of the exception thrown by Environment.close. To find out what's happening, you'll need to catch and log the exception.
