Oracle 10G Release 2 and OS x Lion

I am looking to install 10G R2 on OS x Lion and wondered if anybody has had success. If so, would they like to share their findings with the community.
I found some instructions on installing 10G R2 on OS x Leopard but those steps work for the most part until I try to start the listener at which point I get a segmentation (bus) 11 fault. I suspect it has to do with the 64bit binaries and OS x Lion, but not sure.
I realize that I could install inside of VirtuaBox but wanted to try a native install on the Mac (Lion).
Thanks,
Pneu

Can someone tell me why they thought this thread was answered??? No one answered the original question. The only thing given was some advice about installing oracle on a windows VM, which wasn't a solution for the original asker.
Weird.
Anyways, this is my two cents.
I'm on a Macbook Pro, running 10.7.3.
Tried to install Oracle 10g according to this website
[http://blog.rayapps.com/2009/09/14/how-to-install-oracle-database-10g-on-mac-os-x-snow-leopard/|http://blog.rayapps.com/2009/09/14/how-to-install-oracle-database-10g-on-mac-os-x-snow-leopard/]
It requires Xcode as well as Xcode Command Line tools. You will need the latter for the make commands.
I ran the install and experienced the same issues as the blogger. Followed all instructions to a T. When I created the Listener, however, the listener would not start. That was Issue #1.
I believe issue #2 is related to Issue #1. When creating the Database via dbca, I get to the very end and hit Finish and.....
nothing happens.
It just sits there doing nothing.
I suspect it has to do with the fact that the listener isn't started. But I can't be sure.
I'm starting to lean towards the side that Oracle simply can't be installed on Mac OS 10.7

Hey Guys,
I am Srinivas Here who had been trying to install Oracle Database 10G on Windows X86 on Windows XP Professional.
If you have Win-XP Professional as your Operating System. Do not download the oracle Database using windows - XP Professional because XP will block certain installation files while downloading. In your machine install Windows 2000 or any other Windows version as a dual boot. First the download Database Zip files using your other version of Windows Operating system and then when you Unzip the files it will create a folder called Database and all the files will be present in it.If you want to store the same to cd for having to install the 10G Rel 2 database through CD then copy the contents of the unzipped database folder and store only the contents of the database folder and write them to CD's. Please see to it that while writing on cd's do not copy the folder itself .
After this, restart the system and get into windows XP Professional (Your XP Professional should be with Service Pack 2 in order to install 10G Database on windows XP - The Basic requirements for Oracle Database 10G on Windows X86).
I request you to check the software and hardware requirements from oracle Documents before you install the Oracle Database 10G on Windows x86 as well as Oracle Database 10G on Linux X86 or any other operating systems.
Finally, After you run the Oracle Universal installer in the last you will get messages for all products installed Success and finally it will ask the password for DBA and open the password management and give the password and reenter password and on the left you will have to unlock the items you would like to use.
In the last it will give you various URL links for Isqlplus, DBA, Enterprise Manager and a log report stored into oracle directory stored in your C:\Program files\Oracle folders. The correct link will be given at the end and you will have to watch the installation carefully.You can find DBCA and other options working. Try login in to Oracle through Command prompt, Sqlplus prompt availabe in Start ->Programs->Orahome10G->application Development-sqlplus as well as login through isqlplus link- Before this you should login at the command prompt as SYSDBA. YOU CAN SEE THAT YOUR DATABASE IS NOW WORKING IN WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL.
THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ALL FORUM MEMBERS WHO GAVE ME IDEA AND SUPPORT

OWB on Oracle 10G Release 2

Dear all,
I planned to use an Oracle 10G Release 2 database for a new OWB project. Research on the web just told me that this new version of the database does not support OWB, because of a check for DBA privileges.
The website advises to either use an earlier version of the database (10g R1) or wait for the release of the 10.1.0.4 patch for OWB.
Is this patch available at this moment? If so, can anyone tell me where I can download it? If not, does anyone know when this patch will be released?
Thanks in advance
Paul Versluis

Hi,
I have installed 10.1.0.4 OWB on Suse 9.3 and Suse 10 x86.
I sent correction notes to Oracle Documentation team as there were a few errors for the Linux Install.
More importantly i found in 10.1.0.4 one of the key install shell scripts will never work as the coders forgot to export a JAVAPATH variable meaning the script could never find the JRE
Good to see ORACLE test the installation of their releases
When i get back from Bew Year holiday i will send you my notes if you like
regards

32bit client on windows 2003 server R2 64bit running oracle 10g release 2

Hello,
could you please help me ?
I have a windows 2003 r2 sp2 64 bit server on witch oracle 10g release 2 64 bit is installed.
So far no issue.
I need to have a 32bit client installed on the same server to be able to run some applications on the server, but my applications won't start telling me that TNS could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
my tnsnames.ora seem correct both in the db_1\network\admin directory and in client_1db_1\network\admin directory.
both Sqlplus(client_1 10.2.0.1 and db_1 10.2.0.3) return a connection.
I don't know where the problem could be coming from
Thanks a lot

Problem in oracle 10g release 2

I faced strange problem while selecting data from join of tables (in oracle 10g). While selecting, when the order of fields in "group by" clause is changed, the resulting summary of values is changed too. For eg,
query1 = SELECT F1, F2, F3, SUM(F4)
FROM TBL1
GROUP BY F1, F2, F3, F4
query2 = SELECT F1, F2, F3, SUM(F4)
FROM TBL1
GROUP BY F2, F4, F1, F3
The results SUM(F4) given by query1 and query 2 do not match. While testing these querries in differnt environments, we found such problem in ORACLE 10g RELEASE 2 only and not in ORACLE 10g RELEASE 1. I need to execute this query in oracle 10g. Can anybody help me finding the exact problem?

The results SUM(F4) given by query1 and query 2 do not matchSince the group by clause is not same, the result of sum can be different.
Can you provide us some dataset ?
Nicolas.

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 XA library not available - Oracle 10g Release 2.0.1

Hi,
We have downloaded Oracle 10g Release 2.0.1 enterprise edition from oracle site and installed on Red hat Linux 4.0. After installation we found Oracle XA library is missing. Ideally it should be in folder $Oracle_Home/rdbms/xa/.
The entire XA folder is missing in rdbms folder. Since the XA library is missing, we are not able to complie some C++ code which uses XA interface to connect to Oracle DB. Any help on this will be highly appreciated.
Is this possible that XA library only comes with the license version??
Regards,
Sanjiv

There is no such thing in Oracle as a "licensed version." When you download you download the entire product.
But if you don't have a license then you really should contact your Oracle sales rep immediately. First for reasons of ethics but second to get a support contract which it looks like you are going to need to get patches for 10.2.0.4.
My vanilla installation contains it so you might want to try first checking the installation log file for any reference to it.

Oracle 10g release 2 client

Can someone please help answer these questions for me. I am trying to make a case for me to use the Oracle 10g client for a new .NET system, that is going against an Oracle 9i database server. I would like to take advantage of the new speed improvements, latest bug fixes, and the ref_cursor in/out support for batching operations. I am having to prove myself here, and I am having difficulty finding documentation to help me.
1. I see in the documentation that the Oracle 10g release 2 client now supports ref_cursor in/out as apposed to just OUT from previous releases. Does this mean that I can now pass record set from .NET application into a PL/SQL stored procedure? Was this a limitation of the client or the ODP.NET? Is there a sample I can see? What is puzzling me here is that the ODP.NET version is not release 10.2 also.
2. I know that the Oracle 10g clients are backwards compatible to Oracle 9i database connectivity. Is this documented somewhere that I can refer to?
3. I know that the Oracle 10g and Oracle 9i clients can both be installed on the same system without interfering with each other. Is this documented somewhere that I can refer to?
Any other issue I am forgetting about? Thanks.

ODP.NET 10.2 is now available to download on OTN.
Output REF Cursors can be passed back into another stored procedure as an input REF Cusor. This feature works with just 10gR2 DB servers.
Output REF Cursors can be read, but you can only pass back as an input REF Cursor only the portion of the REF Cusor that has not yet been read.
Chapter 2 of the ODP.NET indicates the version of the DB server is necessary. If you are using 10.2, the oldest DB server you can use is 8i.
The ODP.NET doc also indicates that ODP.NET is multiple Oracle Home compliant.

Solaris 10 and Hitachi LUN mapping with Oracle 10g RAC and ASM?

Hi all,
I am working on an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM installation with Sun E6900 servers attached to a Hitachi SAN for shared storage with Sun Solaris 10 as the server OS. We are using Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) RAC clusterware
for the clustering software and raw devices for shared storage and Veritas VxFs 4.1 filesystem.
My question is this:
How do I map the raw devices and LUNs on the Hitachi SAN to Solaris 10 OS and Oracle 10g RAC ASM?
I am aware that with an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM instance, one needs to configure the ASM instance initialization parameter file to set the asm_diskstring setting to recognize the LUNs that are presented to the host.
I know that Sun Solaris 10 uses /dev/rdsk/CwTxDySz naming convention at the OS level for disks. However, how would I map this to Oracle 10g ASM settings?
I cannot find this critical piece of information ANYWHERE!!!!
Thanks for your help!

You don't seem to state categorically that you are using Solaris Cluster, so I'll assume it since this is mainly a forum about Solaris Cluster (and IMHO, Solaris Cluster with Clusterware is better than Clusterware on its own).
Clusterware has to see the same device names from all cluster nodes. This is why Solaris Cluster (SC) is a positive benefit over Clusterware because SC provides an automatically managed, consistent name space. Clusterware on its own forces you to manage either the symbolic links (or worse mknods) to create a consistent namespace!
So, given the SC consistent namespace you simple add the raw devices into the ASM configuration, i.e. /dev/did/rdsk/dXsY. If you are using Solaris Volume Manager, you would use /dev/md/<setname>/rdsk/dXXX and if you were using CVM/VxVM you would use /dev/vx/rdsk/<dg_name>/<dev_name>.
Of course, if you genuinely are using Clusterware on its own, then you have somewhat of a management issue! ... time to think about installing SC?

Other than that, there are about 2 years of software changes between the .1 of each release. According to http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14261/whatsnew.htm#sthref37 there was some work done in forall in R1, so they probably got it right by R2.
Can I assume you have an unpatched R1?

Oracle 10g Release 2

Hi Guys...
I am currently running Oracle 9.2.0.4 database on Solaris...
Our workshop plan to upgrade to Oracle 10g Release 2...
I need to find out what are the risks involved in upgrade from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g Release 2...
I will also appreciate reference to any material that might help me in that topic.
Thanks in advance

The most frequently seen issue found when performing this kind of upgrades has to do with the changes in the optimizer. Most people complain about loss of performance, changed executions plans and 'surprises' with loss of implicit ordered sets (the group by clause no longer guarantees your result set will be ordered).
There are other issues that have to do with memory, you may face an ORA-04030 error, and it is because the oracle server process requires more memory and it may excessively consume memory resources at the PGA area.
The most important issue you must verify is to have your application certified against 10gR2. When asking some DBA's why they still run on unsupported 8.0 or 8i releases, most of them say because they have to drag an application that was never certified to run on more recent db releases.
I strongly suggest you to extensively run test environments and don't put the COMPATIBLE parameter to 10.2.0 unless you are absolutely certain you won't perform a downgrade.
I have found some issues when performing this kind of upgrades. Ref. [Issues found when upgrading 9.2.0 to 10.2.0|http://hrivera99.blogspot.com/2008/01/issues-found-when-upgrading-920-to-1020.html]

As per Metalink note 293988.1, this will be resolved if I do [root@localhos]# echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/disable_cap_mlock . But problem is when I do this because I dont have /proc/sys/vm/disable_cap_mlock file in my system, it giving ¨bash: /proc/sys/vm/disable_cap_mlock: No such file or directory¨ error. So I am unable to get rid of this error. I also set SELinux Default and Current mode as permissible and rebooted it.
No use, Its giving same error.

Trust me I verified installtion guide and release notes atleast 20 times. I never had luck witht any thing. I was wondering how come edelivery.oracle.com packages (both Linux 64 bit Linux with upgrade to Unbreakable and Oracle 10g db version) is not workign for me. Finally below trick to the installed file could make my installation work(Ref link http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gInstallationOnFedora2.php) . In this I am setting DISABLE_HUGETLBFS to value 1. My only doubt is, does this have any impact on performance? Can some one relay on such tweeking for prod installtions? Ofcourse I am yet to go for commercial. At present I dont have ULN or metalink authorised access.

New indexing parameter to define how Spatial/Locator internally batches index updates at commit time to allow faster index processing during inserts, updates, and deletes.
New utility function to automatically try to fix invalid geometries
First shipping release of the spatial routing engine
In GeoRaster:
Compression (JPEG and DEFLATE)
Cross-schema usage
Requirements for raster data table uniqueness, and procedures to help maintain uniqueness
Enhancements to GeoRaster Viewer
