Oracle 10g update question

Hello,
I have a production database server with oracle 10.2.0.1 and 3 instances running on it. I want to update it to 10.2.0.3. What are the steps involved? Do i need to update all instances at once?

What are the steps involved? Follow instructions that come with the patch set.
Do i need to update all instances at once?Since you will be updating the shared directory, the answer is YES.

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.

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

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

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.

Blank space updatation to Collection field in Oracle 10g

Hi,
we have the Oracle 9i database in the dev environment and Oracle 10g in Production environment.
In Oracle 9i, the below scenario works find, but in Oracle 10g it won'nt, The scenerio is ,
Update table1
set test_collection = ' '; -- works fine in Oracle 9i , but it wont works in Oracle 10g,
Update tabel1
set test_collection = null; -- works in both the versions.
Please suggest,.
raja k

What is myv, is that the collection name ?? See post number 5 of this thread where I declared it.
>
In Oracle 9i, we need not to specify the collection
name while updating the collection type field in the
table. 9.2.0.6 was notoriously buggy and wasn't considered stable till 9.2.0.7 if I recall correctly. And now (thankfully) it's unsupported.
The sql code was written in concern to Oracle 9i, now
while migrating to Oracle 10g, we are getting the
problem with this. The problem is , i don'nt have the
access to Production environment, which is migrated
to Oracle 10g, we develop the code on Oracle 9i, and
will release to deploy on Oracle 10g. Develop in 9i and deploy to 10g! Do you really think that's a good setup? How about upgrading your development environment to match production.
update table1 set test_collection = null; - this
works fine in Oracle 9i ,
update table1 set test_collection = ''; - this works
fine in Oracle 9i ,
but in Oracle 10g ,
update table1 set test_collection = null; - this
works fine in Oracle 10g ,
update table1 set test_collection = ''; - this won'nt
works in Oracle 10g , Yes, I already understand what your issue is.
as you suggested, do we need to specify the
collection name while updating the collection type
field. in Oracle 10g, In Oracle 9i , it won'nt
required ?? Yes, this would be the correct way to do it.
Karthick,
because null is not same as ''
SQL> select * from dual where ''=null
2 /
no rows selectedErrrm, yes it is actually...
SQL> select 1 from dual where '' is null;
1
1
SQL>
... if you use the correct condition for checking nulls.

Oracle 10G AS, Batch Update doesn't commit.

Hello,
We are using Batch uptdate to commit a set of records, but to our surprise one of the batches commits in DB and the other doesnt.
The below pseudo code explains our scenario :
String str1="INSERT INTO TBL1 (COL1,COL2) VALUES (?,?) ";
String str2="UPDATE TBL2 SET COL1=? WHERE COL2=?";
PreparedStatement pstmt1=conn.prepareStatement(str1);
PreparedStatement pstmt2=conn.prepareStatement(str2);
for(500 recs)
pstmt1.addbatch();
pstmt2.addbatch();
On 500 Recs
//This batch updates the DB and commits too
pstmt1.executeBatch();
pstmt1.clearBatch();
con.commit();
//The Batch executes successfully, but updates are not reflected in DB,
//which may mean that it must not be committing in DB
pstmt2.executeBatch();
pstmt2.clearBatch();
con.commit();
- In the above, pstmt1 is an INSERT and pstmt2 is an UPDATE.
- It so happens that at the end, DB reflects Inserts done by pstmt1, but it doesnt reflect the Updates of pstmt2.
- We have also fired a SELECT stmt immediately after pstmt2 Execute Batch, but the updated values are not reflected.
- Also the above scenario works absolutely fine if we use a STATEMENT instead of a PREPAREDSTATEMENT for pstmt2.
Set up Details:
App Server :: Oracle 10G AS for Linux 2.1,
Database Driver :: Oracle 10G Driver which is bundled with Oracle 10G AS
Database :: Oracle 9i
Any ideas in this regards would be highly appreciated.
Thanks !

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.

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

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.
