  • Steps to export and import oracle 10g databse from AIX to AIX and LINUX

    Hi,
    I need the steps to export the oracle 10g database from AIX server to AIX server and LINUX server.
    Please give me all the steps as this is my first exort an import activity.
    thanks,

    For 10g there exist two ways to do so.
    1) Regular exp/imp.
    2) Data pump expdp/impdp.
    As this is your first export and import activity, relevant concept understanding is mandatory for you.
    Documentation Link
    http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/toc.htm
    Read the chapters 1,2,3 (Data pump expdp/impdp) and 19 (regular exp/imp). Good luck.

    mmmh. Did you compared the select count(*) from your_table; in the two cases.
    If the result is not good and nobody has deleted rows between migration and your test, you migration need to be replayed.
    Which migration did you select, Transportable database or exp/imp...?

  • Moving Oracle 9i database from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.3

    Hi,
    We are planing to move few of our Oracle 9i databases from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.3 on another server. Will offline backup/restore work in this case ? The databases are fairly big (> 1 TB each). Looking for some advice.. Thanks.

    Hi Kamran,
    As the DBs are fairly large ( approx. 1 TB each), how long it would take to copy the databases to the target server using RMAN DUPLICATE .. ? Do you think offline backup/restore would be a better approach ? Both the source and target boxes are co-located in the same data center. Thanks !
    Rgds,
    HimansuI assume that RMAN will be more faster than hard copy/paste (cold backup). I can't say how much it will probably take to take RMAN DUPLICATE, but it should be faster than cold backup

  • Returning 250 rows with 1000 Values in "IN" Clause Oracle 10g On IBM AIX !!

    Hi,
    Recently we have done the OS migration of Oracle 10g Server from Windows Server to IBM AIX. Everything is fine, But today we came across one crucial bug in the code, i.e In the Select Query, though we're expecting 1000 rows with 1000 values in "IN" Clause , It's returning Only 250 rows. Where as it's returning 1000 rows in Windows Environment with 1000 values in "IN" Clause. I have browsed throgh Google for the resolution but failed to get that.
    This is something like,
    In Oracle 10g On windows :-
    select * from emp
    where dept_id in (1,2,3,...................1000);
    Assuming there  are the dept_id values in Emp table from 1 ... 1000, It's returning 1000 rows.
    In Oracle 10g On IBM AIX ,
    select * from emp
    where dept_id in (1,2,3,...................1000);
    Assuming there  are the dept_id values in Emp table from 1 ... 1000, It's returning 250 rows. Pls help me, what could be the reason for this. and what needs to be checked to fix this.
    Pls suggest !!!
    Raja

    mmmh. Did you compared the select count(*) from your_table; in the two cases.
    If the result is not good and nobody has deleted rows between migration and your test, you migration need to be replayed.

    Hi Prasanth
    Yes that should be possible but is it a production database or just a test database.
    you can always control that in metalink if it is supported, I don't believe it is.
    Read that documentation to perform the installation.

  • We are getting ¿ stored into our Oracle 10g database  (Microsoft fault)

    We are getting ¿ stored into our Oracle 10g database that is using WE8ISO8859P1 character set.
    Problem is caused by the following:
    Microsoft released software (in particularly MS Word) before considering any ANSI or ISO standard (although they claimed so).
    At that time of pioneering graphical interface - they were the standard. Since then things changed. Microsoft initially targeted US marked, however very soon they wanted to expanded to Europe. For that they needed to get standardized character set instead of one initially being in use. Microsoft re-mapped character set in newer applications using Windows-1252 character set which is compatible with ISO-8851-1 (we are using in our Java Web applications). That cleared obstacles to forward on European market, where extended characters are necessary (like in French, Dutch, German languages...)
    What happened with the initial character codes before Microsoft agreed with ISO to standardize characters? Well - Nothing.
    So what are the consequences of that?
    If we are using Microsoft Word document in conjunction with one of the oldest character set (universe) the ice-age character mapping is still there. So when we "cut and paste" the content to another application, characters sets are not mapped anymore. Especially French language "is sensitive to this" The Microsoft character set in Word decimally coded 146 ( ' ) is very often used in French.
    Therefore if the text is generated in MS Word using old character mapping (universe) which we do, and using method of "cutting and paste" we are mismatching character set interpreted by other, newer applications.
    Initially in the MS words (apostrophe) ' had code 191; then later after implementing Windows 1252 character set being moved to code 146 in accordance to ISO. Well ISO threat character coded 191 as ¿. So if you are using MS Word universe character set, ' looks like ' but in newer applications or ISO compatible applications it looks like ¿.
    Can anyone provide me with periodically cleanup routines that replace garbled characters entered by Microsoft applications into Oracle database ?
    Thanks

    A simply update should work.

  • Exporting of files in oracle 10g database

    hey friends,
    I installed Oracle 10g Database server on Windows XP,when i tried to take the backup through "Export to Files".I got this error.
    I have added Administrator in "Login as Batch JOb" and has given administrator along with the password in host credentials.
    I explain the procedure.I Login as Sys as SysOper as Oracle does not allow to take backup as sysdba.
    I created the job and also given the right path for the backup but some how it fails then i check the log and i find the following output.
    Output Log

    EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully
    The output log says i am giving invalid username and password but i don't know where i am giving the invalid username and password.
    Please guide me as I am new to Oracle and want to learn Oracle Administration.
    Thanks & Regards
