Oracle 10g update from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.4

Hi all,
I like to update oracle 10g database from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.4 by applying patch sets, would one please suggest me the best way.
I am planning to do in the way explained below
method:
# Install new Oracle Home
# Apply the patch to the new Home
# Shut down the database
# Change Oracle Home to the new location
# Start the database
Can you one suggest me how to do "Change Oracle Home of database to the new location" and back to older oracle_home incase if there are any issues, how to do and what changes requried to make database is run without any probs..
Thanks in advance..

If you do it the best way is to read and follow the docs ... not ask strangers if they agree with a small number of bullet points.
But I disagree with your entire direction. 10gR2 goes into desupport mode at the end of this month. Why move to something that will be desupported before you get there? Why not 11.1.0.7 or 11.2.0.1?
If you must stay with 10g for awhile at least go to 10.2.0.5.

  • 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.

  • Create MVs in Oracle 10g DB from Oracle 9i DB using DB link

    The tables of an Oracle 10g database is formed mainly (about 90%) from materialized views. These views are created using a database link extracting the data from an existing Oracle 9i database (10g connecting to 9i).
    The MVs created from simple queries does not take much time, but whenever a query contains "joins", time freezes and after four hours no results are registered independently of the database volume or number of transactions.
    But in case the MVs are created in an Oracle 9i database (9i connecting to 9i), the full creation time varies from four minutes to twenty minutes (about 1,200,000 transactions).
    All possible scenarios related to hardware and networking were tested and excluded.
    The resolution of this issue is very urgent because it is preventing our institution from upgrading to Oracle 10g.

    Why post this one into the OTN Feedback Forum rather than a more appropriate like General Database Discussions ?<br>

  • Restore and recover Oracle 10g database from tape.

    I have a very basic question for restore and recover Oracle 10g database. Our envirnment settings are:
    Oracle 10g on Unix, daily database and archivelog backup to Vista NetBackup server. Retention policy is 2. Old backup files are copied from NetBackup server to the tape for record keeping.
    I want to restore a database to a point in time. Because our retention policy is setup to 2. The backup files I need have been copied to the tape. So I should ask SYSTEM ADMIN to copy the backup files back to NetBackup server disk or I can ask him to copy backup files to the Unix server that host my Oracle 10g database. Then I can use Rman to do restore and recover. Is this doable? I know normal procedure is to copy backup files I need back to NetBackup server disk, not directly back to database server. Please put your comments here as early as better. I do appreciate your kind help.

    Are you using catalog or nocatalog?
    If the backup information is out of retention, Catalog them again also in netbackup.
    So that you can able to restore database directly without copying those files to host.

  • Unable to connect Oracle 10g Express from Visual Studio Server Explorer

    Hello,
    Please help me out here. I am connecting from Visual Studio 2008 to Oracle 10g Express Edition and the I have installed the ODAC 11 and the ODP.NET as well for Visual Studio(Both include Oracle Developer tools). But whenever I tried to connect from my Visual Studio 2008 server explorer so that I can have the database and its object there, I do get this error : "ORA-12560 : TNS: protocol adapter error."
    The following is what I specified in my connection box:
    DataSource Name: (Local Database)
    Username : HR
    Password: the password for it.
    My OS is : Windows Vista Ultimate.
    Please anyone who has solved such error should just help out here.
    Thanks all

    Thank you for your reply. I will like to know if you can use Visual Studio. In visual studio there is what we called Server Explorer and from there you can create connection and access all the database server from there. I am able to connect to the Oracle XE through the browser and I was able to crete table and other stuffs like that but when I tried to connect from Visual Studio 2008, I get the 12560 Error. I checked my TNSNAMES and found this:
    XE =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = OLAMMIE)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
    EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SID = PLSExtProc)
    (PRESENTATION = RO)
    ORACLR_CONNECTION_DATA =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SID = CLRExtProc)
    (PRESENTATION = RO)
    Look at what I have in my Sqlnet.Ora file,
    # This file is actually generated by netca. But if customers choose to
    # install "Software Only", this file wont exist and without the native
    # authentication, they will not be able to connect to the database on NT.
    SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)
    Please kindly help me out of this as it is very urgent. I can connect from browser using http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex but cannot connect from my C# code and Server Explorer. What is likely to cause this error.
    Thank you for helping me in advance.

  • Oracle 10g unjoin from a Domain

    Hi,
    I need to unjoin my Windows 2003 Datacenter Edition with Oracle 10g from my domain. I know how to do that in Windows, but I don´t know how to do that in Oracle or the impact to unjoin Windows from the domain.
    Thanks in advance,

    hi,
    There should not be any impact on your Oracle database running on this machine and it should keep on running. It does not matter if you unjoin the database server from domain, but, if you change the name of server, you might need to reconfigure your OEM (ig you are using) again and set the listener.ora file to reflect the new host name.

  • Building a Oracle 10g db from the scratch for arabic data

    I want to create a new db in Oracle 10g for storing the arabic data.
    My client machine is Arabic Windows XP.
    What are the steps that i will need to follow to make the db arabic supported.
    What streps will be required if i choose to make it unicode supported?

    Configuring the database character set to AL32UTF8 will allow the database to store any character that can be represented in the UTF-8 character set in a CHAR/ VARCHAR2 column. So that would allow you to store Arabic data in CHAR/ VARCHAR2 columns.
    The client-side configuration that is necessary will depend on the sorts of client applications you are using. Normally, you would set the NLS_LANG to match the client code page, which is presumably one of the Windows code pages (probably Windows 1256 if you're using an Arabic install).

  • File Need for Oracle 10g AS from Oracle 10g Jdeveloper

    Dear All,
    I have completed my application for running on Oracle 10g AS.
    What files and the structure that I should maintenace/ keep

    Erie,
    if you are deploying to Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) or higher, then you don't need to deploy the ADF runtime libraries because they are already there.
    If you create a deployment profile for the application you want to deploy - e.g. a WAR file or EAR file deployment - then you can select the files you want to deploy. The default settings typically include all teh necessary files.

  • AS 10g update from 10.1.3.4 to 10.1.3.5 on Solaris 10

    Just started working with AS 10g so still getting my arms around it.
    Downloaded patch p8626084_101350_SOLARIS64.zip, unzipped it and shut everything down for the upgrade. Made sure all the ORACLE variables were set correctly on the server. Kicked off the installer and made it all the way to the "Configure Assistants" window. It completes the "CCR Configuration" section and fails on the "Run One-off OPatches" section so it skips all the others. I can see that the patch 9119261 was previously applied. Is there a way to have the system ignore this conflict, is that an option? What are the options? If you try and re-initiate the update you will get the "no patches required" message so the question is, how to complete the upgrade from this point onward. Thanks,

  • Oracle 10g Update logic.

    Hi Guys, I have a table table_ref with Ref column 400 charaters long. I have a request to update this column, basically change one thing in the column. The column has value *'ELBOW, 90-DEGREE, LONG RADIUS;_; ASME B16.9; BEVELED END; SCHEDULE 10S; STAINLESS STEEL, ASTM A403 GR WP3046WX/WP304LWX (DL-STPD) IMPACT TSD, CRYO SERV'*
    The requirement is to update this table and remove the *6* from WP3046WX to make it read WP304WX
    Update table_ref
    Set ref = 'ELBOW, 90-DEGREE, LONG RADIUS;_; ASME B16.9; BEVELED END; SCHEDULE 10S; STAINLESS STEEL, ASTM A403 GR WP304WX/WP304LWX (DL-STPD) IMPACT TSD, CRYO SERV'
    where 1= 1.
    Please note that the 6 has been removed, but I am not clear on how to do this. I know am going to be using substr, instr etc, but I cannot wrap my head around it.
    Thank You

    Hi,
    You could do that using SUBSTR and INSTR, but, as you discovered, it isn't easy.
    Here's a much better way:
    UPDATE  table_ref
    SET     ref     = REPLACE ( ref
                       , 'WP3046WX'
                     , 'WP304WX'
    WHERE   ref     LIKE '%WP3046WX%
    ;REPLACE (str, x, y)       returns a copy of str, but with all occurences of the sub-sting x changed to y. You don't need to know exactly where x occurs, or how many times.
