I haven't heard anything about what actual functionality will be included in 11g.This is what amaze me most. When I look on a particular release specially 9i when they put all the cool feature like dynamic SGA, UNDO, STATSPACK (i know its there in 8.1.7) I was thinking they made it so simple now what else they can put or enhance in it? Then 10g came and once again with super cool feature like ASM, AWR, SQL Tuning which make the job more simpler and something which one couldn't think of. Now once again with 10g I am unable to think what else they can put into it and I am ready for an another excitement ride to explore whats there in 11G and it will keep going on.

  • Current Patch Set for Oracle Database Release 11.2

    Hi
    I am upgrading oracle 10G to 11GR2 in AIX 5.3 Environment with SAP ECC6 , I have just just installled Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 according to the "Database Upgrade Guide -Upgrade to Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2): UNIX". After database software installation , in upgrade manual in section 3.4.4 it says, you need to install current patch set for oracle database 11g R2 and referencing a SAP note 1431799.
    I have just read note 1431799 which says Current Patch Set for Oracle Database Release 11.2 is not generally available for SAP customers until December 2010, also I donu2019t find the note 1522330 as mentioned in 1431799.
    Please let me know how I can get current patch set to apply with Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 (Is it in SAP service market place?)
    I also want to upgrade my installation to oracle 11.2.0.2, please let me know where I get the patch set to upgrade from 11.2.0.1.0 to 11.2.0.2,
    or
    I have to live with 11.2.0.1.0 and apply SAP Bundle Patch ( SBP)

    Abu Al MAmun,
    I understand from your posts that you recently upgraded to 11.2.0.2.
    I am having the same difficulty, of finding the current patch set for 11.2. Could you please let me know how you worked around it?
    Thanks,
    Siri
    Hello Everyone,
    I did read the post on to how you have to install the current patch set for 11.2.
    But honestly, it pretty much flew over my head.
    I am trying to upgrade our SAP AIX 64 bit test system from Oracle 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.2.
    And so far I have downloaded all the required sw for the upgrade, except for the current patch set 11.2.
    This is what I have right now:
    1) Oracle 11.2 AIX 64 bit upgrade sw - 51038805_part 1 to 51038805_part 7 and 51039800.
    2) Database Patches -->Oracle 11.2.0.2 -->
    All they have here is
    a. Database RDMBS - SAP_112020_201012_AIX.zip and b. SAP_112020_201101_AIX.zip
    b. OPatch - OPatch_11201_Generic_v3.zip and mopatch-2_1_6.zip
    c. Database Vault - DV - >Generic - p9656644_112020_Generic.zip
    If I am not wrong, the Database RDBMS files are nothing but the SAP Bundle Patches that have to be installed after installing the currrent patch set 11.2.0.2 using MOPatch.
    But I did not find the currrent patch set 11.2.0.2.
    Could someone please explain the process to me in detail? This being my first time , I am finding it a bit hard to catch up with some of the stuff.
    Thank You!

  • Oracle Database Release 1 (10.1.0.5.0) for solaris 10

    Hi can anyone tell me where to download Oracle Database Release 1 (10.1.0.5.0) for solaris 10? Thanks in advance.

    10gR1 is no longer supported - you will either need to open an SR with Support and ask them to ship you the media (assuming you have a valid license and a support contract) or see if you can download from http://edelivery.oracle.com. In either case, you will most likely get the base version of 10gR1 and you will need to patch it up to 10.1.0.5. The patch is only available in My Oracle Support. Is there a reason you need such an old version of the software ?

    I've been delving into the daemon on the phone that appears to be responsible for "pc suite" communication with Ovi suite / PC suite..
    I'd love some linux support for just that.. stuff an entire suite, it'd be good to have some low level support.. integration with existing linux software would be much easier to achieve, then..
    It looks horridly complex.. makes debugging a PITA

  • A question about focus or trend in oracle database releases

    Hi,
    I have a question on what is the focus or trend at a high level that can be seen in the way oracle has been delivering the data base. Among several things what can be summarized as a few technical focus areas. Can someone help? I think they are the following:
    1) Focus on high availability (RAC,Data Guard)
    2) Providing more and more features in the database (including oracle apex in database, regular expression support etc)
    3) Exadata
    4) Better managability with OEM
    Can you help elaborate or suggest if this is appropriate?
    Thanks

    ThanksI would echo what Sybrand has mentioned already. The way things are going , the focus is on two things IMO by Oracle. One, High Availability! Oracle corp wants to ensure with every upcoming release that the downtime , either planned or unplanned, must come down to its minimum value and there should not be almost anythign which would stop the business. There are tons of enhancements which we have seen in this manner and I am sure, there are going to be so many more upcoming.
    Second is the need to ensure that database is not messed up by the human mistakes (and is going to be unavailable) . So that's why we are seeing more and more automated ways of handling/doing things. Now someone may say that its bad but I believe, it would take some time before it would be streamlined. It took 30 years for Oracle to come here so we shouldn't expect them to fix the automated database thingy in just two releases. Also, Oracle is focussing of giving a one-box-solution for almost all. So whatever you need, hardware, software, application and of course, database, you would get it all from one shop i.e. Oracle. The Exadata and Oracle's Enterprise Linux are going to be big helping factors in this thing.

  • Oracle Database releases and versioning

    After trying to install Database 10g on multiple platforms, I have a few questions that I hope someone won't mind answering:
    - Why is the syntax for key binary commands so different between one release of a single version? For example: primary emca commands that worked for 10g R1 have a completely different syntax for R2, and many R1 commands no longer work at all.
    - In looking at the download list for 10g R2, it seems that only version 10.2.0.1 is available for common server platforms, while more recently updated versions are available solely for proprietary platforms (10.2.0.2 for HP, Solaris, zLinux), and the very latest version (10.2.0.3) is available only for Windows Vista. This seems counter-intuitive: are more people running Oracle on proprietary server platforms than on Linux systems? And, even more interesting: is anyone running production-grade databases on Windows Vista?

    - Why is the syntax for key binary commands so
    different between one release of a single version?
    For example: primary emca commands that
    worked for 10g R1 have a completely different syntax
    for R2, and many R1 commands no longer work at all.Each release introduces major supplementary feature revisions while leaving the baseline features in the database unchanged.
    emca is one of the supplementary features that was introduced in 10g R1 that needed enhancement. Hence the changes.
    Oracle traditionally had been careful to maintain forward compatible syntax. It seems they were not quite as careful with emca.
    >
    - In looking at the download list for 10g R2, it
    seems that only version 10.2.0.1 is available for
    common server platforms, while more recently updated
    versions are available solely for proprietary
    platforms (10.2.0.2 for HP, Solaris, zLinux), and the
    very latest version (10.2.0.3) is available only for
    Windows Vista. This seems counter-intuitive: are
    more people running Oracle on proprietary server
    platforms than on Linux systems? And, even more
    interesting: is anyone running production-grade
    databases on Windows Vista?Oracle will only upload the first operational version of a release. Eg: 10.2.0.1 should have been the only release on OTN.
    However, there were some platform specific patches that were required to make the 'proprietary' versions install or work at all. Rather than back-port the patches to 10.2.01., Oracle decided to load 10.2.0.2 for those.
    When Microsoft released their latest proprietary operating system, Vista, ages after Oracle released 10.2.0.1 for Windows, Oracle was caught between a rock and a hard place: do they backport the stuff needed to compensate for the Vista changes or do they simply roll up the latest stuff and release that. I'd guess they decided that, since Vista is a desktop OS and only a few limited shops would use a desktop OS instead of a server OS in production,m it probably would be safe to release the latest rollup.
    Personally, I do not run any production grade databases on desktop platforms. Linux, Unix (mainly ) and Widows 2003 Server.

  • Oracle next database release date

    Hi,
    Does anyone have information about next oracle database(might be 12G) relase date.
    Just curious to know where oracle is going to lead us in future.

    Nicolas.Hey Nicolas,
    I am asking this because for Oracle 11G there are already two upgrades and from 8i onwards no relase has crossed more then 2 upgrade mark.
    Second most important part is that whenever Oracle brings new version of database also bring new features which changes whole dimension in database market.
    Might cloud computing be there next big secrate weapon for next release.

  • Trouble connecting to remote oracle database

    Hi,
    i'm having trouble connecting to an oracle database (Release 9.2.0.6.0) using the ojdbc14.jar from the oracle website. Can anybody spot the problems that i need to sort out to get it working? Code and error stack below.

    You have:

    String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@//myhost:1521/orcl";
    String URL = "jdbc:oracle:thin:scott/tiger@//myhost:1521/orcl"In other words, I think you've munged your URL; you need some slashes and a port number (1521 is the default).

  • Test-driven oracle db development with FIT/FitNesse

    Hi,
    I have just finished testing the first version of DbFit, an extension to Fit.Net which allows database developers to write functional and acceptance tests easily and automate them using FIT (Framework for Integrated Testing) and FitNesse, a popular Web-based test and collaboration server.
    Version 0.1 supports testing stored procedures and functions, queries and statements on Oracle DB.
    Source code, binaries, examples, and a short introductory guide for test-driven Oracle database development using FitNesse and DbFit can be downloaded from http://gojko.net/fitnesse/dbfit
    Your comments would be greatly appreciated.

  • ShadowProtect to backup Oracle Databases

    Hi to all
    I would like to hear from anyone if you are using ShadowProtect to backup your Oracle databases.
    What are your experiences and the pros and cons in using ShadowProtect as the one and only backup/recovery tools for Oracle databases?
    Can the potential of ShadowProtect replaces the commonly use Oracle backup/recovery tools?
    The reason why I raise this question is because my boss has the idea that ShadowProtect is THE best backup/recovery tools. Personally I don't think so, because there can be cases where we only need to recover the database and not the whole OS. Thus need to hear more from you guys.
    Thanks.
    Edited by: moslee on Mar 22, 2013 2:24 AM

    Hey Moslee,
    You should definitely be testing your Oracle database recovery plan quarterly. If you're not even testing it annually that would be what really scares me the most. Testing should show you what you can and cannot get out of your backup and recovery software. Everything else being equal, please please please test your backup and recovery plan and do it often.
    As for ShadowProtect, one of the nice things about this backup solution is that it's an image-based backup which means that it will quiesce the Oracle database and transactions to get a good snapshot of your database. Then (because it's an image-based solution) you can recover the Oracle DB, OS, installed applications, running services, data, and etc to that specific recovery point. Another nice thing is that ShadowProtect can quickly virtualize a backup image as a VM using Oracle's VirtualBox, MS Hyper-V, VMware, Citrix ZenServer and/or RedHat's KVM. Over all ShadowProtect's a pretty powerful and easy to use Windows backup tool.
    Oh, and ShadowProtect's integrated with Oracle's VirtualBox technology (it's called ShadowProtect VirtualBoot) which makes it SUPER easy to spin up a backup image as a VM and verify (read "TEST" in capital letters) whether you've got a solid backup of your Oracle DB. I'd hate to find out the day after the excrement/fan fiasco that my backups were unusable. Please test! (I'm cringing in my chair here.) Then let us know whether you agree with your boss.
    Cheers!

  • ZFS compression(lzjb) on Oracle Database Files

    Hi all,
    We have just run few tests with Oracle Database files and using the lzjb compression on zfs with Solaris 10 would bring great space savings. Im looking at 2-3x fold compression ratios on Oracle files. Now, I am aware of slight CPU utilisation (2-3%) on our case, which is nothing compared to benefits.
    Raises a few questions tough, are the any cave eats to know about? Why should I NOT turn compression on for Oracle files? From the Oracle Whitepaper I gather that compression is suggested turned on for Archives, but no mention for others.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris/config-solaris-zfs-wp-167894.pdf
    Any suggestions and experiences are welcome

    All you need to do is install windows and then oracle 10g.
    after the complete installation,shutdown the database.
    Now overwrite your previous datafiles including control files and you are done.
