Oracle 10g DB clustering question

Hi All
If I am going to cluster my db, what method/type of software should I use.

Hi,
The most suitable s/w changes by the thing which your DB regards as important.
System requirements (ex SLA) , cost ...
Oracle RAC is Acitve-Active cluster solution.
All of node is active and can execute a sql.
However, the license cost becomes very higher.
I may be enough in Active-Stanby if a downtime is permitted at the time of instance failure.
PowerHA(AIX)
MC/ServiceGuard(HP-UX)
SunCluster(Solaris)
MSCS(Windows)

Oracle 10G Express Newbie questions

Hello everyone! I am completely new to oracle and I was wondering if you guys could answer some of my questions. I installed Oracle 10g Express rpm (oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm) and Zend for oracle with the assumption that all the environmental variables would be set and everything would be ready. Unfortunately, this was not the case:
The instructions say to setup the ORACLE_BASE and ORACLE_HOME but I don't know what those need to be. I'm assuming ORACLE_HOME can be any directory and ORACLE_BASE is the path to libraries or executables or something. This is not very clear to me in the instructions. By the way, X windows is not installed on my server so everything I do must be from the shell.
My question are:
1) On a standard rpm install of 10g Express, what should the environmental variables ORACLE_BASE & ORACLE_HOME be (installed in /usr/lib/oracle/ ) ?
2) Assuming that X windows is not installed, what are the best ways to connect to the DB? sqlplus? http://www.test.com:8080/apex? clients?
3) Can the windows client be used to connect to 10g Express on a linux server?

The question is more appropriate in the XE forum at Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)

Oracle 10g XE // Licensing question

Hi,
as far as i got till ow, the XE seams to be only limited in 3 ways:
- max 4GB user data
- max 1GB RAM actively used
- max 1 Processor used
However, this leads to some questions for me:
1. what is a "processor" defined as ? i this 1 cpu including multi cores or is this just 1 core? (regarding the new Xeons we have e.g. 2 CPUs with 2 Cores each with Hyperthreading makes em 4 Cores on each physical CPU)
2. can multi XE be used for ditributed DB's ?
e.g. we have say 2 servers - 1 at company A (production and research) and 1 at company B (part production needed for comp. A). can they be connected together so that the main-DB is at company A and company B only has a part of the DB at company A? e.g. company A hast say 100 tables in their DB but B has only 15 tables to access and stored local for caching ? - if these distributed scenarios are possbiel, could you please point me to the docs for it?
Best Regards,
Korbinian

. what is a "processor" defined as I believe a dual core processor is counted as two CPU (that's certainly how Oracle calculate th elicencing for regular 10g). In the case of XE I think they've frigged the database so it will only use one CPU no matter how many CPUs the server actually has.
2. can multi XE be used for ditributed DB's ?As far as I'm aware you should be able to do single master replication with XE but not multi-master. But then most sensible people would not want to do multi-master replication anyway. You may find this article by Lewis Cunningham informative. The docs on replication are here.

Oracle 10g Enterprise Manager DB control vs Enterprise Manager Console

We have a consultant install Oracle 10g on Windows platform. Somehow, I only see Enterprise Manager Console installed and I can use this console to access database. I don't see Enterprise Manager Database Control installed. What difference between Console and DB control? Please advise.
Thanks
S.

I see the interfaces are totally different. the console is more like Oracle 9i. I know the DB control is a web tool, just for Oracle 10g. My question is in terms of admin, which one is better? Why Oracle has different tool to manage Database?The Oracle Enterprise Manager Console is a Java Standalone client, not a 3-tier product like the EM DB Console.
The Java Standalone client was deprecated in 10gR1. Probably since not all features had been ported to the 3-tier DB Console (eg: Spatial index management and Workspace Management), Oracle decided to let us use the Java Console as an extra install from the Client/Companion disk. However it is no longer available going forward into 11g.
If you look at the 'Console' carefully, you will not that some areas are no longer functional and it does not cover all capability of 10g, for example in partitioning and indexing.

Oracle 10g R2 vs Oracle 10g;;;Plz Help Me

Hi all;
I'm preparing my first OCA exam ; Oracle Database 10g: Administration I. I 'm doing my preparation basically from 2 books ; Sybex Book OCA-Exam and All-in-One Exam Guide book.
Both books 're based on the first release of Oracle 10g.
My questions 're :
- What's the diffrence between Oracle 10g R2 vs Oracle 10g R1?
- What's New in Oracle 10g R2 (parameters, default parameters values, features...)?
thanks a lot,
Best REgards,
W
Edited by: OracleJavaLinux on Oct 30, 2008 8:01 AM

Well satish has given link for the difference in both the versions. I shall add to this that at this moment of writing,there is not anything which makes the exams depend on the release 2.The sybex books would be good enough but I shall recommend to attend Oracle Univ training for the same.
You can go ahead with the exam by preparing from these books, no issues would be there.

General question on SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 10g

Hello all,
I just have a general question on migration from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 10g using SQL Developer.
How does it migrate Users with proper privileges from SQL Server to Oracle? Follow the interface steps? Or should the users be created on destination Oracle side?
Thank you.

Hi,
It depends which type of migration you are making.
For a 'Standard' migration when you migrate data a 'create user' statement is created as part of the migration and you will see this in the generated code.
If you are using the 'Quick' migration option then you need to create the Oracle user or use an existing user to receive the data.
Your best option is to review the documentation available from -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html
or directly from -
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12151_01/index.htm
and then get back with specific questions if this does not give you the information you need.
Review the chapter -
2. Migrating Third-Party Databases
in -
Oracle® Database SQL Developer User’s Guide Release 1.5

Mike

Question on replication in Oracle 10G Release 2

Good day,
I have a few questions on setting up replication that fits my scenario described below. Thank you in advance for reading and answering my post.
Scenario
I need to replicate 100-200 tables from the first OLTP server to the second DSS server that is read-only. The servers are physically located in different countries. Both servers use Oracle 10G Release 2. Required frequency of refreshes is 1-3 hours.
Questions
1. Is it optimal to use materialized views with fast/force refreshes for implementation of this scenario? If no, what are the better options?
2. How do network interruptions and latency affect stability of work of replication with materialized views?
3. How big is additional performance overhead at OLTP (source) server due to setting up replication with materialized views?

1) I guess it depends on how you define "optimal". It's certainly a reasonable option. You might also look at Streams or even logical standby databases. There are various trade-offs involved, so it really depends on your environment.
2) What does "stability of work of replication" mean, exactly? Obviously, if the network fails, the replication job(s) will generate errors. Depending on how you set things up, the replication process will be retried after increasing intervals until it succeeds.
3) Maintaining materialized view logs on the OLTP system could certainly impact performance-- the logs have to be maintained synchronously with the OLTP transactions. That may or may not noticably impact OLTP transaction performance-- it's probably roughly equivalent to putting a trigger on each of the 100-200 tables. Something like Streams is designed to put less load on the source system because changes are captured asynchronously.

Oracle 10g installation questions

Hi,
I tried to install Oracle 10g (Enterprise Edition) on Windows 2000 server, and encountered the following error when I used the Database Upgrade Assistance to ugrade one of my existing Oracle 8 database TEST.
ORA-01658: Unable to create INITIAL extent for segment in tablespace USERS.
I searched the forum, and seems that there is not enough space for my USERS tablespace. Is it the right solution?
If I clicked Ignore for the above erro, another error appeared:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist.
I don't have table or view in TEST database, it is just a database instance created by Oracle 8. Do I have to create tables or views in order to upgrade it to Oracle 10g database?
I tried to upgrade an existing Oracle 8 database TEST1 which has data in it, and got the following error:
ORA-01119: error in creating database file D:\oracle\oradata\test1\sysaux01.dbf.
ORA-27044: unable to write the header block of file.
One last question is that after the failing of the DBUCA, I was told that the 10g was successfully installed on my server while no orcl database was created even if I chose
to create a database orcl during my installation.
The following are services running for 10g after the installation.
OracleCSService Started
OracleOraDb10g_home1iSQL*Plus Started
OracleOraDb10g_home1SNMPPeerEncapsulator
OracleOraDb10g_home1SNMPPeerMasterAgent
OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListenerLISTENER10 Started
Anybody has any idea what went wrong?
Your early reply is greatly appreciated.
Jane

I believe the answers are:
1. the Oracle client needs to be the same bits as the TimesTen server. i.e. if you have 64b TimesTen, then you will need 64b Oracle client. If you have 32b TimesTen then you will need 32b Oracle client.
2. Yes. I believe you can install 64b TimesTen with 64b Oracle client and connect this to a 32b Oracle server. I dont have any idea about performance overhead of this configuration.

Oracle 10g Install Question

Hi All,
I have to install oracle 10g onto a server where there is existing oracle 9i software.
Is it safe to go ahead with the install, while the 9i databases are up?? what are the consequences of doing this?
OS patches and kernel parameters as required for oracle 10g have already been changed.
10g is being installed into a different oracle home and i would choose not to overwrite any of the files as asked by root.sh script.
OS is hp-ux 11i (11.11).
Thanks & Regards
Chandar

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Sorry for not being clear in my question earlier.
I am planning to install Oracle 10g on a server with existing 9i software. My question is whether we should shutdown all 9i databases for the duration of the install or we can leave them running as long as we do not overwrite any 9i files including files in /usr/local/bin directory that contains oranev etc...
To be on the safer side it is always recomended to shutdown any oracle instances running before we start the install. Wanted to know the consequences if we have them up and running for the duration of the install.
Thanks & Regards

Questions about free Download Oracle 10g, Database and Developer suite

Hi everyone, got some questions..
1) Is it possible to download free Oracle 10g and Developer suite? is a 30 day license trial or something like that?

Oracle 10g questions, please

I looked through Oracle 10g reference documentation, but still have some questions.
1) Could "Global Temporary" tables contain SDO-type columns now?...
2) Could O10g AS MapViewer be used not only in browser pages, but in JAVA applications, wrote in Swing etc.?
3) Where MapViewer's itself and its JAVA-API's documentation locates?.. I haven't found it :(((

1) Could "Global Temporary" tables contain SDO-type columns now?...Yes, they can. But you cannot create any spatial index on temporary tables:
ORA-29918: cannot create domain indexes on temporary tables
2) Could O10g AS MapViewer be used not only in browser pages, but in JAVA applications, wrote in Swing etc.?
Sure. However, your application will still need to interact with the mapviewer server.
3) Where MapViewer's itself and its JAVA-API's documentation locates?.. I haven't found it :(((

1. It's posssible to download full version. Look at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html
2. Minimum requirements are described in documentation.
More at: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/index.html
3. AFAIK there are not Standard or Personal edition of Oracle Developer Suite just DB is in that versions.
Check the details about product and choose one.
4. I'think you just need Oracle DB and Oracle DS. Beter check the details about each of product and make your own decision.

Question about JDBC and Oracle 10g AL32UTF8

Hey all,
Currently I have a Java program that uses lib: ojdbc14.zip. It works fine for our Oracle 10g database, but when we converted our character set to AL32UTF8, our program seems to have stopped working properly. For instance, I grab a count(*), to see how many rows an ID has in a table. Then I take that list and display and count(*) that are greater than 0. Well, my first getString works properly to generate the select count(*) statements for all the tables in the database. But then when I execute those select count(*) I can grab out the number greater than 0. That's column 1. Then the owner name is displayed in column 2. and the table name is displayed in column 3. When I do a getString(2) we only get the first letter (sometimes) of the owner of the table. Same with the table name.
For instance, before AL32UTF8
getString(2): SCOTT
getString(3): PEOPLE
After
getString(2): S
getString(3): P
Now to open my connection I use:
static Connection conn;
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connection_string, username, password);
And to create query I use:
Statement query_1 = conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Sincerely,
Mel

Oracle 10g OCA exams pass question

Please does anyone know any website where oracle 10g pass exam are posted for free or if anyone has got some pass exams could you post them please.
Thanks in advance

You only wanted to pass OCA certifiation by getting dump of questions.
It would be more worthy that you make practice and once you are confident with the subject, then appear for exam, dont simply depend on dummy question to pass OCA. Believe me, this is worthless.
Hint: search at yahoo groups for ocpfree.

Oracle 10g - Introduction to SQL course question

Two years ago I completed the Oracle 9i - Introduction to SQL course. An complete the #1Z0-007 exam and pass with almost 100%.
I notice that Oracle 10g - Introduction to SQL courses are now being offer. If I have already done the Oracle 9i course and have been using SQL for the pass two years. Is doing the Oracle 10g - Introduction to SQL worthwhile ?
Will I learn anything new or is the course almost the same ?
Thanks
Brendon

Brendon,
Almost certainly not useful. I'd compare the contents of the course you did with the features that have been introduced into Oracle since the version that the course was based on, and try to find some material on these features.
Cheerio,
