ORA-27123 - Oracle 10g 10.1.0.3 on Redhat EL 4 AS Update 3

Hi.
During the installation of Oracle 10g on Redhat EL,
the Database Configuration Assistant, Creating and starting oracle instance, gave me an error:
ORA-27123 - unable to attachto shared memory segment
Configuration Info:
System:
RAM size 6 GB
SWAP size 6 GB
sysctl.conf
# oracle parameters
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 4096
# semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
limits.conf
# oracle limits

* hard nproc 16384
* soft nofile 1024
* hard nofile 65536
Can somebody know what could create this error, and how solve it?
Thanks for help.

I did a clean installation of RHEL4 from scratch, but still the solution you suggested did not work.
Other info:
During pre-requisite checking - oracle alerted me :
- it expected value for shmmax = 2147483648
- it expected package openmotif, it not found openmotif
(in the system exists openmotif21-2.1.33-11.RHEL4.4 and openmotif-2.2.3-9-RHEL4.1 )
I ignored the errors and continued, but i still get the same error:
"ORA-27123: unable to attach to shared memory segment"
Thanks for help.

Init.ora in Oracle 10g

Hi,
I installed the Oracle 10g in windows XP and I need to edit some parameters in the init.ora file.
When I searched for the init.ora file it is not available.
Please let me know whether in oracle 10g it is renamed as other file name or whether I need to edit the init.ora only in the enterprise manager which we connect through url as http://mydb:5055/em
Thanks and Regards,
A.Mohammed Rafi

Rafi,
I am sure that the database is using spfile not the init.ora file.
The location of spfile is ORACLE_HOME/database directory.
However, you can easily modify the most of the parameters dynamically using the following command from sqlprompt.
alter system parameter = value scope = both;
when you say scope = both, parameters values are in the spfile and the values also reflect the new connections to the database.
If you wanna change in the spfile, then, you need to create pfile from spfile, since spfile can't directly modified, and change/add the parameters in the pfile(init.ora) and finally create spfile from pfile.

No harm, your database created just fine, but probably didn't configure listener.ora, sqlnet.ora, and tnsnames.ora. Just run netca and finish the tns confiiguration.

Move data from sql server v8 to oracle 10g

I just got urgent projects to migrate the data from MS SQL server 2000 to oracle 10g. The following are requirements:
Source data/table: MS sql server 2k (version 8) on MS 2000 machine.
Destination Data/table: oracle 10g (10.1.0.4) on Redhat version 3.
Total number of tables: < 10 tables and < 1000 rows each tables.
This is only one time data extraction. No periodically data extraction need.
Questions:
What connect method I should use? (odbc or jdbc)
What if I have image datatype?
Thanks in advance.

Use the Oracle Migration Workbench.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration/workbench/index.html
I think IMAGE will be migrated to BLOB by default.

Audit in Oracle 10g

Hello,
Just a quick question,
I setup the audit for one oracle user on Oracle 10G :
AUDIT ALL BY myuser BY ACCESS;
AUDIT SELECT TABLE, UPDATE TABLE, INSERT TABLE, DELETE TABLE BY myuser BY ACCESS;
AUDIT EXECUTE PROCEDURE BY myuser BY ACCESS;
now, Where can I found the information about the audit? in which views?
Thanks all,;

ORA-03106 Error when connecting to Oracle 10g from Forms 6i

I have migrated my database from Oracle 8.0.5 to Oracle 10g, version 10.0.1.0.3 through import-export utility. During migration, one difference I made was to change the NLS_LANG to UTF8 from ANSI.
The NLS_LANG for client is AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE81S08859P1.
I am using HP ML370 Proliant Server and running Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 with Oracle 10g
My client-server application is based on Oracle Developer version 2.1. I am using forms 5.0 and reports 3.0 only.
The problem with me is that the client-server application is working against the upgraded database, but with greatly downgraded speed. The .fmb files cannot be compiled, however some of the .rdf files are compiled successfully, but remaining not.
My question is that is Developer 2000 (Forms 5.0.6 and Reports 3.0.5) compatable with Oracle 10 database, as my application is running very slow ?
I tried Forms 6i to remove this problem. I used Forms Developer 6i Recut version and successfully installed on Windows XP, however, when try to create connection using Net 8 Easy Utility, the connection does not establish with following error:
ORA-03106 : fatal two-task communication protocol error
The entry has been checked in tnsnames.ora and is found correct. I also tried connecting through SQL, but the application closes.
The patch set 17 for installation on Windows XP has also been applied, but still the same error persits.
The same installation has also been checked on Windows 2000, but the same problem persists.
I would be thankful if any one provide me solution for the same. Where I am mistaken and what do I do to get out of this problem.
Regards
Naveen.

Naveen,
Forms 5.0 is not certified and not tested with Oracle DB 10g because it was desupported before 10g got released.
The other problem is hard to give a generic answer for and I suggest to address this to metalink.oracle.com

Repeated ORA-12547 Messages after installing Oracle 10g

Hi,
I installed Oracle 10g on a Redhat ES 3 box, and the install went okay, but when I try and interact with the server I get the message:
ORA-12547: TNS: lost contact
For example, if I use the Database Configuration Assistant to attempt to create a database, I will see the above message when it begins the database creation process, or if I try to interact with the Oracle server using sqlplus I will see the above message after each command entered.
I had recently tried to install Oracle 8.1.7 on the same box, but abandoned that after deciding that the effort required to link Oracle 8 on RHES3 just wasn't worth it. I have been told that this previous partial installation may be the cause of the problem, and have been advised to uninstall Oracle 8, uninstall Oracle 10g, and reinstall Oracle 10g. I find it hard to believe that it would require such an action to solve this problem. Is there any configuration changes I can make to resolve it? Also, what does this message actually mean?
I am new to Oracle, so thanks for any help with this problem.
Colm.

My last message asking for a grater degree of specificity was not overly specific, hence I am posting the kernel parms that I have set with the hopes that you will spot one that I set improperly or one that I neglected to set.

ORA-01722: Invalid number - error only in Oracle 10g?

While trying to insert a numeric value into a decimal column, I get this error. Hitherto, my update statements used to look fine.
Can anyone let me know if this enforcement is specific to Oracla 10g? I am running :
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
Thanks in advance for your help!

Well, you've a blank space which isn't a number, that's why you have an error.
Please see the following example to have a default value :
SQL> create table tutu (id number, text varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> alter table tutu modify id default 0;
Table altered.
SQL> insert into tutu values (' ', 'NoWork');
insert into tutu values (' ', 'NoWork')
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01722: invalid number
SQL> insert into tutu values (null,'NullValue');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into tutu (text) values ('Default');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into tutu values (1,'NonDefault');
1 row created.
SQL> select * from tutu;
        ID TEXT
           NullValue
         0 Default
         1 NonDefault

ORA-01722: invalid number error coming in Oracle 10g.

Hi,
We are getting the error "ORA-01722: invalid number" while opening a cursor using CURSOR FOR LOOP.
This error has started coming only after we have migrated to Oracle 10g from Oracle 9i. Earlier the same code used to work properly. And also on Oracle 10g, its not happening every time. Sometimes it gives error while sometimes it works.
Does anybody know about any such bug in Oracle 10g. Our cursor is a parametrized cursor accepting a VARCHAR2 parameter and the value we are passing to it is also character.
Our database is Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production and is running on UNIX server.

And also on Oracle 10g, its not happening every time. Sometimes it gives error while sometimes it works. This is typically due to
a) environment settings that differ from session to session
b) or more often, data
The actual error means that Oracle expects a number and is unable to obtain a number from the input (data or SQL or bind variables) supplied. I agree with William that it looks a lot like an implicit TO_NUMBER() conversion failing.
Why not add a debug exception handler to the code? When that exception occurs, dump the PL/SQL call stack and values of all variables and parameters to a debug/logging table (using an autonomous transaction).

ORA-12154 while installing Oracle 10g on windows 7

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle 10g express edition on my machine (core 2 duo 2.93) running on Windows 7.
The installation moves on perfectly for the 1st step and while running the 2nd step (Net configuration Assistant), it gives the ORA-12154 error.
The contents of my configuration files at this point are as follows:
Listener.ora
=============
SID_LIST_ORCL =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = ORCL)
(ORACLE_HOME = F:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
=============
And that of tnsnames.ora is:
=============
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
=============
After some googling around, I have found and installed the Microsoft Loopback adapter too (since my LAN is DHCP enabled) and also tried to turn on the firewall on my machine to check if it is not a problem with the port 1521 being blocked by the firewall.
However, even after all that I still get the error "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified." while running the Net configuration Assistant and/or running SQL Plus to connect to the SID - ORCL.
I can only see one service running in my services by the name : OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListenerORCL
Any suggestions or advice on the error would be much welcome.
Is it anything related to Windows 7 ? Because I have managed to install using the same installer on another machine which runs Windows XP and everything seems fine there.
Thanking you all in anticipation.

Hmmm.. but then I'd have expected some installation error. I have read around that people have managed to install oracle on windows 7.
The error displayed seems to be indicating that there is some configuration or permissions issue.Check that the user has permission to write in the ORACLE_HOME\network\admin - UAC might be blocking that.
Install with software only, and run netca & dbca separately to create the database after the s/w install. (That's the way it is done in production anyway, so get used to it.)
But yes - you still may have problems. Those who did fake it out on Windows 7 usually understand what to do. If you are smart enough to actually do it, my hat is off to you.

Ora-00604 while installing Oracle 10g on Windows XP SP2

I was installing Oracle 10g on Windows XP but the dbca was failling. So I tried to create a database manually.
But every time I launch this:
"SQL> startup nomount pfile="C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\XP10G\scripts\initXP10G.ora";"
I always had:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION
I tried to change some memory value in the init*.ora without more success.
So if anyone has been had such issue; he would be an help for me.

Cretaion of UTL.File in Oracle 10G and directory entry in Ora.ini file

Hi,
Kindly advise me if:
(!) we can create a directory and log file in this directory on some other server instead of creating it in the file system of the server where the Oracle 10G database is residing?
Created directory in Oracle using create or replace directory command.
My package will be creating a log file using UTL.File in the above directory.
I want to create this directory on some other server to save my log file/s. Is this possible?
(2) Also, let me know in Oracle 10G, do we need to add the directory entry (mention above in #1) in the Ora.ini file on the Oracle 10G server?

Hi,
1) utl_dir are different from directory object
2) you cannot create directory on remote server and there is no need to write directory entry on oracle init file (not ini..)

ORA-12157 when installing Oracle 10g on Fedora 5?

Hi, Im installing Oracle 10g on Fedora 5, I did it once, but when I tried to set it up again I
got this error on the last part of the install...
ORA-12157: TNS: internal network communication error
Anybody know what might cause this?
I think I have installed all required RPMs and set environment variables, kernel parameters,
created oracle users and groups as needed, but still get the above error. I searched the error and some claim it is a problem using newer glibc 2.4.4, so I tried installing on Fedora 4 and had the same error even with glibc 2.3???
Thanks so much,
Jon

ORA-22275 writing BLOB using Oracle 10g

Am trying to INSERT a record including a BLOB. Using Visual C++ 6.0, Oracle 10g, and Oracle ODBC Driver.
Setup calls to SQLAllocStmt, SQLBindParameter (for the BLOB, only), and SQL_LEN_DATA_AT_EXEC all are ok as far as can be told. (Return code is zero.)
After setup calls, call to SQLExecDirect returns -1 (error with info) and the info is error ORA-22275 (invalid LOB locator specified). (Was expecting 99 (SQL_NEED_DATA) to start feeding LOB data.)
This same code ran under Oracle 9i, but fails under 10g. Did not even rebuild the code.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance

This was resolved in the latest 10g ODBC driver (10.1.0.3.1)
