Oracle 11.1.0.6 database on OEL5.2, No unixODBC RPM

A required UNIX RPM for Oracle 11g R1 database installation is unixODBC-2.2.11. Although unixODBC-devel and unixODBC-kde RPMs are included with with the OEL5.2 that I downloaded from the Oracle site, the unixODBC RPM is not. So I downloaded the unixODBC-2.2.11 RPM from another web site. When I tried to install the unixODBC RPM, it needed libreadline.so.4. I then downloaded the readline-4.3-5 RPM from the Internet. When I attempted to install the readline-4.3-5 RPM, RPM complained that readline version 5 was already installed on my OEL5.2 installation. What is the proper thing to do? Should I go ahead and install the older version of readline-4.3-5 so that I can install the unixODBC RPM, which is needed for my Oracle 11g installation? If I do install the older 4.3-5 version of readline, will that break something else which needs the newer version 5 of readline?

Try to search again on the installation media I can't belive that this package is missing and if then it is the fault of distro maintainers.
I see you are ready to mix packages from various distros so I assume your OS will be not deployed in production.
If so then you could download and install unixODBC from Centos 5.2 repository (another clone of Redhat 5.2) http://mirrors.portafixe.com/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/CentOS/unixODBC-2.2.11-7.1.i386.rpm (32bit version)

Cannot Store Chinese Characters In Oracle 9.2.0.7 Database

Hi,
I'm having trouble localizing my Oracle 9.2.0.7 / ASP web application for our Chinese-speaking users.
My Oracle 9.2.0.7 Database has NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET set to AL16UTF16.
I've set up a test table thus:
CREATE TABLE "TBL_TEST_CH"
field1                          NVARCHAR2(40),
field2                          NVARCHAR2(40)
I have the Chinese character set installed on my database / web server (same box), as well as a test client machine. I can see Chinese characters in my web browser, and can enter them in a test ASP page I've set up. When I execute an insert statement via ADO, the insert statement seems to work, but the result is that the data seems to be stored as upside-down question marks.
I thought perhaps the data was being somehow scrambled between the web app and the database, so I set up an external table import the Chinese data from a Unicode text file:
CREATE TABLE kenny.ch_import
     FIELD1          NVARCHAR2(255),
     FIELD2          NVARCHAR2(255)
     ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL (TYPE oracle_loader
     DEFAULT DIRECTORY ext_dat_dir
     ACCESS PARAMETERS
     (RECORDS DELIMITED BY ":"
     FIELDS TERMINATED BY "~"
     missing field values are null)
     LOCATION (ext_dat_dir:'test_ch.txt'))
     reject limit unlimited
However, when I query the data in the external table using my web application, it comes back with garbage like "ÿþ1" and the like.
To attempt to determine if the database is capable of storing the Chinese characters, I've performed the following test:
1) I insert a Chinese character in an NVARCHAR2 field in my table by using the UNISTR function thus:
insert into tbl_test_ch (field1) values (unistr('\3E00'))
2) I interrogated the value using the dump function thus:
select dump(field1, 1016) FROM tbl_test_ch
I'm struggling to understand the output. Obviously the character set being used is "AL16UTF16" (which I would expect to be able to store Chinese characters), but the return_format argument I've provided to the function (1016) should return the hexadecimal code point of the character that's being stored. I would expect this to be the same as I inserted ("3E00"), but I'm getting the following output:
DUMP(FIELD1,1016)
Typ=1 Len=2 CharacterSet=AL16UTF16: 3e,0
I'd really appreciate any suggestions on what I could do next to determine exactly where the problem lies. I've not been able to convince myself that the database is correctly storing the Chinese character data, but I appreciate equally that the problem could lie elsewhere.
Thanks in advance,
Kenny McEwan.

Thanks, Serguisz.
My technology stack is as follows:
ASP 3.0 web application, running on IIS6.
On the web servier, I have MDAC 2.8 SP2 on Windows Server 2003 SP1.
On the Oracle database server, I have Windows Server 2003 SP1.
My Oracle database version is 9.2.0.7.
The client I've been using in this investigation is Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.
It does look like you're right about characters coming from the application are being corrupted. To support this, I tried to insert the chinese character 博 as well as the Unihan character 中 from a web page in my application. I then used the dump function to interrogate the contents of the field I input to thus:
select dump(field1, 1016) FROM tbl_test_ch
DUMP(FIELD1,1016)
Typ=1 Len=2 CharacterSet=AL16UTF16: 0,bf
Typ=1 Len=2 CharacterSet=AL16UTF16: 0,bf
Both characters seem to have suffered the same corruption.
The problem seems to happen in the other direction as well - even after verifying that the character detailed in the previous post was stored correctly, it is still displayed by my web app as an upside down question mark.
Do you have any suggestions on how to proceed?
Best regards,
Kenny.

Need help for importing oracle 10G dump into 9i database

hi, Someone help me to import oracle 10G dump into 9i database. I'm studying oracle . Im using oracle 10G developer suite(downloaded from oracle) and oracle 9i database. I saw some threads tat we can't import the higher version dumps into lower version database. But i'm badly need help for importing the dump...
or
someone please tell me the site to download oracle 9i Developer suite as i can't find it in oracle site...

I didnt testet it to import a dump out of a 10g instance into a 9i instance if this export has been done using a 10g environment.
But it is possible to perform an export with a 9i environment against a 10g instance.
I am just testing this with a 9.2.0.8 environment against a 10.2.0.4.0 instance and is working so far.
The system raises an EXP-00008 / ORA-37002 error after exporting the data segments (exporting post-schema procedural objects and actions).
I am not sure if it is possible to perform an import to a 9i instance with this dump but maybe worth to give it a try.
It should potentially be possible to export at least 9i compatible objects/segments with this approach.
However, I have my doubts if this stunt is supported by oracle ...

Oracle 10.2.0.3 Databases - Restore to New Server

We will soon be replacing an old server with a new server and I need to restore all Oracle 10.2.0.3 databases to the new server
and ensure Oracle functionality/connectivity with all databases.
I am in the process of testing and need advice and hopefully a 'Step by Step' process I can follow.
I am a systems admin - not an Oracle db admin - so please explain details of any commands I may have to run.
I have already tested once:
ran command prompt: sqplus / as sysdba
SQL>shutdown immediate;
Stopped all Oracle services:
Oracle Database
Oracle Listener
Oracle DBConsole
Installed Oracle 10.2.0.3 on new server
Ensured that the SID and all other Oracle services information matched the old server during installation on the new server.
Stopped all Oracle services on the new server (used the steps above).
Backed-up and test restored to new server.
Enterprise Manager shows: Listener Up Database Instance Down Agent Down
Any help would be appreciated

It would be good to know your operation system. I hope both new and old match or similar.
You can use RMAN to dumplicate you DB so you can follow [Creating a Duplicate Database on a New Host. Doc ID: 388431.1|https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=388431.1]
but a simple file system copy based manual duplication is also possible if new and old OS system is similar...

What are the Basic Differences between Oracle and MS-SQL server Database?

Hello,
anybody pls Guide me about the Differences between Oracle and MS-SQL server Database.and also IBM Databases also
Regards,
Balaram

SQL Server only works on Windows-based platforms, including Windows 9x, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows CE.
In comparison with SQL Server , OracleDatabase supports all known platforms, including Windows-based platforms, AIX-Based Systems, Compaq Tru64 UNIX, HP 9000 Series HP-UX, Linux Intel, Sun Solaris and so on.
The SQL Server advantages:
SQL Server holds the top TPC-C performance and price/performance results.
SQL Server is generally accepted as easier to install, use and manage.
The Oracle Database advantages:
Oracle Database supports all known platforms, not only the Windows-based platforms.
PL/SQL is more powerful language than T-SQL.
More fine-tuning to the configuration can be done via start-up parameters.

How to connect oracle forms 6i with .odb database

Hai,
I need to connect oracle forms 6i with .odb database.

Can APEX/ORACLE connect to a mysql database?

Hi
Just wondered whether APEX and ORACLE could connect to mysql database. I may have a requirement to link to a mysql database and retrieve the data and wondered if APEX could do this.
Thanks

Hi
Apex sits within the Oracle database. Oracle can connect to a mysql database via a database link so yes this is certainly possible. We connect extensively to an Informix database here actually. This is really an oracle question though so you just need to look in the documentation for the CREATE DATABASE LINK command and for setting up the actual connection.
If you need more help let me know.
Cheers
Ben

Can I use Oracle Forms Services 11g with Database 9.2.0.8.0?

Hi everyone.
My department is evaluating development tools in order to build new web applications, and also possibly to migrate current applications buit with Oracle Forms 6.0.5.34.0. Our database is Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64bit.
We have read that the newest Oracle Forms version is Oracle Forms Services 11g. Is Oracle Forms Services 11g compatible with Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64bit? or would we have to migrate our RDBMS to Oracle 11g?
If our database is compatible, what would we need to develop and deploy applications with Oracle Forms Services 11g?
Many thanks in advance.

Wheter it's compatible or not: Database 9.2.0.8 is in sustaining support which means you won't get patches for it. So even if it is compatible I'd opt to upgrade to a newer version, as I wouldn't feel comfortable having a not-supported product out in production.
Have a look at the certification matrix for supported configurations
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/fmw-11gr1certmatrix.xls
As for the requirements; most things can be found on the forms homepage on OTN:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/
or at the documentation:

Oracle BI connection to Filemaker Database

Hi all,
At work we have OBI 10.1.3.3 up and running without any problem. It connect to an Oracle DB (10gR2).
I was wondering if any of you might know if it would be possible to connect Oracle BI to a Filemaker database instead of an Oracle DB (because we are running many things on Filemaker over here).
I tried it several times, using ODBC, but never really got it right. A search via Google also did not give me any useful answers.
If any of you guys (or girls) would know if it is even possible to connect OBI to a Filemaker DB and if so how it is done, I would be very happy.
Thanks and greetings

Thank you very much. It still took me a while because the exact way to do it differs a lot depending on which Filemaker version/ODBC version, but I now have a working ODBC connection to Filemaker.
Another little question:
Does anyone have any experience in importing Filemaker tables into OBI Administration? I can connect to the database, Administration sees the tables when I do File-->Import-->From Database, but when I import a table, no columns are recognized (while in Filemaker, the table has 10 columns). I only get the table name without any columns (or data) into it. Any ideas on how this may come?
Kind regards

Oracle Developer 6 applications with database 10g

Hello,
My all applications are developed and running in Oracle Developer 6 with database 9i. But now i want to use
database 10g with these Oracle Developer 6 build applications.
Already compiled files (with dev 6 and DB 9i) are runing with database 10g quite nicely,but when i try to
recomplie the source files of these applications with 10g database i got the fowlloing error.
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [17069], [45468896], [], [], [], [], [], []
After it i open these Oracle Developer 6 applications source files with Oracle Developer 6i and use 10g database,
compile and run very easly.
I think it is old version problem .But my development team dont want update all applications to new version (6i or other) yet.
Is there any solution to use Oracle Developer 6 applications with database 10g ?
Thanx.

The general rule is "Ora-00600s (and 7445s, 3113s) are to be reported to Support". Look in Metalink to see whether any one else has reported it, based on the first argument. If so, there may be a workaround or a patch.
Since you are asking this generically without database version, patch level or operating system, I assume you are using the unsupported free download and do not have access to Metalink. In that context
1) What is the problem:
The problem is your request (QSL, PL/SQL, Java) is hitting a bug or abusing a part of the Oracle software in an unexpected way. ORA-00600 is simply one of the 'unexpected and unhandled exceptions'.
2) Required action:
Since it is unexpected and unhandled, there are several ways to proceed:
- Search the net for the first argument (ktspgetmyb-1) to see whether someone has a workaround
- Reproduce and Simplify your offending code until you find your own workaround.
Often this happens with some sql statement

Link a CSV or TXT with Oracle Without loading it to Database

Hi,
Can we Link a CSV or TXT file with Oracle Without loading it to Database.
Thanks & Regards,

Link means data in CSV or TXT should be visible in oracle and i can use SQL queries over it but data in CSV or TXT should not be physically loaded in Oracle.

Oracle 10g Help?Create database error

I am unable to run a script createDB having command create database kmaa.I open up SQL*Plus, connect and login without any trouble as well. When I try to create a database I get the following:
SQL> CREATE DATABASE kmaa;

Error at line 1:
ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
ORA-01100:database already mounted
Any idea?

Hi Pete,
Oracle Express Edition creates a database automatically when you install it and the product is limited to one database instance per machine. Perhaps you are confusing users/schemas with what you may term a database. An Oracle database instance can be broken down into logical units called users or schemas. If you wish to create a database of books, you should create a user called books and then log on as this user and create your database objects. To make things simpler, Oracle XE comes with a browser interface based on Application Express. You can use this to create schemas, database objects and applications (forms reports etc) to access and manage those objects. Further to this you should RTFM.
