OCI Release 9.0.1 with Oracle 8i

Consider the following situation:
oracle8i (8.1.7) server on a win2000 machine
there is an application using oci8 on another machine (linux) with the oracle 8.1.7 client libraries (there is no support for "scrollable" cursors)
My question is:
If i change (on linux) the client with that of 9.0.1 with the new oci and the new libraries (and, of course, rewrite the application), can I use the new scrollable cursors with the Oracle 8.1.7 database (we desperately need resultset data seek and row count)

:) 10x
then i am asking this, in terms of OCI:
Is the scrollable cursor (and the row count of a select statement) is a client or a database feature?
i am asking this because the cursor library in odbc and ado is allowing such things.

OCI on Linux 6.1 with Oracle 8.1.5.2

When I compile, link and run OCI programs they run fine under Linux 6.1. However
when I call library functions in shared library files (.so) which do identical connection to server the call to OCIServerAttach just hangs around forever. Does anyone have any insights into this?

I had a problem with the old calls olog etc..
the problem was that the lda is too small
for shared libraries..
so i have changed the lda to a size of 512
and now the calls work fine...
perhabs this is a help for you...

Will Oracle 8I release 3 Server work with Oracle 9I Client?

My company wrote some software for DBing imagery tags and such. this was originally done for win2k. They company now needs to upgrade to winXP systems in order to keep there maintenance contracts. long story short can i continue to use the DB 8 server with the DB 9 Client? on a side note i tried installing 8I client on XP and ran into some problems.
i found the fix to get the installer started but then i i just crash to desktop halfway through the install. any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

That WAS a supported configuration ('was', because both components are meanwhile desupported), but it worked in the past from a technical point of view. Details on metalink:

Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0

Hello,
Maybe you can help me (new on RMAN backup) in doing this.
I have configured a single Oracle 10g database to have backup with RMAN with following steps:
1. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/rman_scripts
2. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/logs
3. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/tracking
4. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/c_backup

19. RMAN> exit
I need to configure incremental backup with RMAN on a two node Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 installation.
We also use ASM to store database files, and have Oracle software installed on separate file systems (two Oracle roots for Node1 and Node2).
I have following questions:
1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
Below is the script used to run RMAN on the normal Oracle database (without RAC) which I need to change :
=============================================================================================
2.0 Oracle backup script: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh
Use this for daily backups, possiblly as a cron job.
Once a week run this: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh FULL
All other days of the week: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh INCREMENTAL
Note: You may have to change ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_BASE below to match your database.
=============================================================================================
#!/usr/bin/ksh
ORACLE_SID=orcl
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=${ORACLE_BASE}/product/10.2.0/db_1
PATH=${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:/usr/bin
LOGDIR=${ORACLE_BASE}/logs
LOGFILE=${LOGDIR}/rman.log
if [[ $# < 1 ]]
then
echo "usage: backup.sh FULL|INCREMENTAL"
exit;
fi
BACKUPTYPE=${1}
full='FULL'
incremental='INCREMENTAL'
if [[ $BACKUPTYPE == $full ]]
then
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append << eof
run {
backup database;
SQL 'alter system archive log current';
backup archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
exit;

echo ''
fi
if [[ $BACKUPTYPE == $incremental ]]
then
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append << eof
run {

SQL 'alter system archive log current';

Hi [email protected],
Q1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
A1) With RAC: on the shared storage
I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
If you want your backups to be available for both nodes you have to use shared storage or tape using an mml library.
So if you want to use the FRA for rman backups and the database is on ASM just make ASM the standard for the FRA as well.
Q2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
A2) Than you cannot recover in case Node1 is down. Best would be to send your storage admin to a training course so he can manage the clustered raw devices needed for ASM.
Q3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
A3) No see A2.

Oracle VM with Oracle E-business suite Release 12.1.1

Hi
We are migrating our Oracle E-business suite from IBM Power 5 AIX 6.1. to OVM Intel (x86_64) bit, we have tested the migration in our test environment. We want to know how good or bad is OVM with oracle e-business suite in production environment, and if anybody is working on production environment with the similar configuration in Production environment then please share your experience with us
Thank you

Shahrukh Yasin

Hi Sharukh,
Virtualization of course the trend in modern era, and I personally advice you to have a thorough testing on performance and specifically simulate workloads and check the behavior. I don't personally go on to support Virtualization on Production environment as it incurs additional cost like CPU usage, memory usage borrowed by other environment being virtualized. And as it does not directly work with the hardware. May be some will be against this point, but I see as if it incurs additional resources. Being said this, I am not completely against Virtualizationas long as it is not a heavy 24/7 environment. I would go on to support the ideology, saying it's best to choose the right technology to right environment.

Problem with Starting with Oracle Warehouse Builder 11g Release 1

Hello,
I want to do the training modules for owb. I installed Oracle Databes 11g2 and was attempting to load all the demo files from the learning module Starting with Oracle Warehouse Builder 11g Release 1 (http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/11g/r1/owb/owb11g_update_getting_started_intro/lesson1/less1_start.htm)
I get an error during the running of the tcl scripts in omb plus. Everything works until the last files in which an object cannot be found. I get the following error:
OMB02923: Attribute TIMES_CAL_MONTH_CODE of group SALES of operator SALES_OUT does not exist.
The only reference i can find to this is in the load_sales.tcl file from the zip-file and i have no idea what is going wrong. As a result 5 mappings are missing in the end result (all LOAD_.. mappings)
Can anyone assist me with this problem and provide a solution?
thank you in advance

Additional information after looking at the tcl files and the data in OWB that was loaded.
The section where the error occurs connects two parts of a mapping, the OUTGRP1 and the SALES_OUT. THe SALES_OUT is based upon the cube Sales. This cube contains all the data that is being connected except for the 'TIMES_CAL_MONTH_CODE'. I have no idea based upon the code of the creation of the cube where they take the data from. None of the connected attributes is named specifically. The cube also contains the several groups, one of these is time. If you open the details of the group the list of input attributes lists the needed attribute but it is not listed seperatly like all the others that are connected for the mapping. Does anybody have an idea how to solve the problem based on this extra information and the code listed below.
Code connecting outgrp1 and sales_out:
OMBALTER MAPPING 'LOAD_SALES' \
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'AMOUNT' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'AMOUNT' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'\
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'COST' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'COST' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'\
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'QUANTITY' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'QUANTITY' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT' \

TO ATTRIBUTE 'CHANNELS_SOURCE_ID' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'\
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'SUBCATEGORY_ID' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'PROMOTIONS_SOURCE_ID' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'\
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'PRODUCT_ID' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \

TO ATTRIBUTE 'CUSTOMERS_SOURCE_ID' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT' \
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'FINISH_MONTH' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'AGGREGATOR' \
TO ATTRIBUTE 'TIMES_CAL_MONTH_CODE' OF GROUP 'SALES' OF OPERATOR 'SALES_OUT'
Code for creating the cube:

WL5.1 with Oracle OCI driver 8.1.6 and 8.1.7

We have seen different behaviors when using WL5.1 with Oracle's OCI driver
version 8.1.6 and 8.1.7
Our application calls the same set of stored procedures, which creates in
total of 10 reference cursors
in the database (8.1.7). We close the reference cursor everytime the SP is
called.
After running the application for a while, we have the following situation:
1) Using the 8.1.6. driver, we always have (at any given time) one
reference cursor opened in the database
for each connection in the connection pool.
2) Using the 8.1.7 driver, we always have one reference cursor for each
stored procedure for each connection in the connection pool(i.e. 10 open
ref-cursor per connection).
It seems that between 8.1.6 and 8.1.7, the driver caches ref-cursor
differently. The 8.1.7 drive doesn't seem to be scalable. Has anyone
notice the change?
Is this behavior correct or configurable?
Thanks.

An oci program compiled with oracle 9 run in a machine has oracle client 10

Hello,
I would like to know if an OCI program compiled with Oracle 9 client libraries can communicate with Oracle 9 and Oracle 8 database servers by using the oracle client 10 on Solaris? Is there any known problem of this combination?
Many thanks,

It largely depends on what your program does. If the program uses features which are only available in Oracle 9i and not in Oracle 8i then you are likely to get some errors. For the latter case, ie, compiling the program with Oracle 9 libs and runnig with Oracle 10 libs, talking to 9i server should be fine while 8i server may give you some unexpected behaviour.
Thanks,
Sumit

while I'm using the oracle oci type driver I got the
error but it works fine with the thin driver.What is the error ?
so where should I the information regard this.I'm
working with oracle 8i.As long as you have the 8i client set up properly, the JDBC OCI drivers will work. To test just go to the command prompt and try tnsping and/or sqlplus to connect to your DB.
Post your JDBC URL and the exception you are getting if you are still having problems.

Server Hardware for Oracle Database 11g Release 2 with Oracle Spatial

Hi ,
We're to set up an Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Enterprise with Oracle Spatial.
Can you provide me the possible Server Hardware CPU / Memory specs , number of CPUs,type of OS and teh Model, for Spatial which a million users hits the database via a webservice?
The vendor suggested us SDD instead of HDD, any performance hike on this?
Budget seems to okay but I think Exadata will be too dear.
Your insights is much appreciated.Anything relating to setting up a server with spatial is greatly appreciated.
P/S: Been a programmer and don't knwo much about server hardware specs.

It depends.
Seriously - before anyone can offer anything but generalities here you need to really define exactly what you expect the database to deliver.
In general however, I will throw out these questions and ideas...
For instance - you say a million users "hit" the database (via a web service). Is that WFS, WMS, KML or ???
Over - how long? A year? A month? A minute? A million hits over a year spread out evenly is only about 2 per minute.
And what is a hit? A single random record? Or about 10,000 records in the same spatial area... or? And for each record - are you returning simple point data - or hugely complex polygons with thousands of vertexes each?
How does this software work? Is it custom - or is it well known? Does it really query the database for every map (I assume it is a map service) feature - or does it read an area once and cache it in the middle tier? Or does it do something really smart and use cached tiles for static data - overlayed with vectors for dynamic data?
And although you say Oracle Spatial - are you really using Spatial - or just Locator functions (less processing in general)? And if spatial - are you doing raster in the db - or 3D analysis - or other special functionality?
SSD vs. HDD. - If you can buy a server with more RAM than the data set size (pretty easy these days) - and you do mostly reads (almost always the case for a map app) - buy a small cheap array of RAID'd HDD's - internal to the server is fine. Once the data is read into RAM - the HDD's do basically nothing.
Server CPU and memory. Amount - see above. CPU Speed (use performance benchmarks - not GHz numbers) AND memory speed (often overlooked) - buy as fast as possible. Why? You pay for licenses by the core (2 cores per license for x64). And HW is MUCH MUCH MUCH cheaper than Oracle licenses. Plan to upgrade HW every year if necessary to avoid buying more licenses (sounds crazy - but it is much cheaper).
This may seem like a lot - but these questions are just the tip of the iceberg. I have been in charge of spec'ing, building, and programming spatial systems now for about 20 years, so I have a pretty good idea of how to do enterprise scale computing on a Ramon-noodle budget.
Smart clean software is your friend - don't ask the HW to do anything unless absolutely necessary (cache results and reuse as much as possible), and you can get crazy performance from minimal hardware.
