Oracle 10g question

what is the best linux os for install oracle 10g?
cuz our company wann run PLM system on Linux
thanks

Well Red Hat and Suse are the two most popular for production systems. If you want to "play" with a solid system, try CentOs. It's basically the Red Hat Enterprise Linux repackaged. You can also look into Oracle's Unbreakable Linux aka Enterprise Linux if you want something cheaper than RedHat while still being able to officially have "support".
I have Solaris 10 x86/64 which is free, and it runs well too. You can purchase support from Sun.

  • 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 :(((

  • Solaris 10,oracle 10g question- can't connect with non-dba user

    Hi
    I've installed the Oracle10g suite, enterprise edition ( 10.2.0.1). I've created a database called qa10g, which I can connect to as user 'oracle' once I export the ORACLE_SID and the ORACLE_HOME
    export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/10g2
    export ORACLE_SID=qa10g
    then I type in the following at it puts me into sqlplus:
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus system/system
    so that works fine..now whan I try to log in as another user that isn't a member of the dba group, and I export the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID variables, I can't get in to the database using $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus system/system, I get the following errors:
    ERROR:
    ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
    ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
    SVR4 Error: 2: No such file or directory
    Enter user-name:
    BUT, when I put the connector string at the end, I can get in:
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus system/system@qa10g
    Connected to:
    Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
    With the Partitioning, Oracle Label Security, OLAP and Data Mining Scoring Engin
    e options
    SQL>
    so obviously, it is an enviromnet variable that isn't getting set properly, perhaps even ORACLE_SID=qa10g isn't working properly for the non-dba user ( in this case, the user is called ctronsys)
    for the work I need to do on this databse, I need to have the user I select to be able to log into the database with sqlplus commands like the ones listed above, without the connector string added at the end..the SID gets exported first..
    any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm a newbie to Oracle!
    thanks!

  • 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 -

  • 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

    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

    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 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?

  • 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,

  • Question about SAP installation with Oracle 10g

    I have successfully installed Oracle 10g on Windows server 2008 R2 64bit. I can connect to the database using mysql or through command prompt and run SQL commands.
    I started installing the SAP EHP1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 ("51038620_13      BS 7 SR1 Installation Master Windows Server on x64 64bit") The installation goes very smooth. I choose the SAPSID and the DBSID sid, but then it gives an error stating to install oracle and continue or stop the installation & install Oracle. I have tried on continuing the installation since Oracle is already installed but I get the same message again and again.
    Does it have to do with ORACLE 10g Sid. My Oracle SID is set to "ORCL" should it be the same as DBSID (during SAP Installation). Or the Oracle needs to be installed after SAP installation gets to the point for Oracle Installation. Please assist what needs to be changed. I can reinstall Oracle if needed. Any tips or comments would be nice.

    > Does it have to do with ORACLE 10g Sid. My Oracle SID is set to "ORCL" should it be the same as DBSID (during SAP Installation). Or the Oracle needs to be installed after SAP installation gets to the point for Oracle Installation.
    You can't "change". You installed the Oracle software using "setup.exe" - which is wrong. You also created an example database - which is also not correct.
    The Oracle software is installed, according to the installation guide, as
    - start "sapserver.cmd" on the Oracle DVD (the SAP media)
    - install the software according to the installation guide
    - install the latest patchset
    - install the latest PSU patch
    --> and then start sapinst.

  • Oracle 10g import question

    Hi,
    Is it possible to import oracle 7.3.3.5 export file into oracle 10g? I created user tablespaces manually, and then tried to import but I see strange errors.

    Did you read the metalink note specified above?.
    Please read the same and it has the information.
    Example: export from 7.3.4 and import into 11.1.0
    use the 7.3.4 Export client to export the data from the 7.3.4 source database,
    use the 11.1.0 Import client to import the data into the 11.1.0 target database,
    Note that a migration with export FULL=Y & import FULL=Y is not supported.
    that's what mentioned above. Try show=y option and use fromuser/touser
