Oracle 11g for production

Hi,
I have download oracle 11g for linux.
We have one to create a new database for one of our production system.
Shall I create the database on 11g or wait for some time.(we have tested the application on 10g)
Regards
MMU

Hans and I seem to be giving the same advice here.
The point I was trying to make was to be careful.
There are probably more important things to consider
rather than acting on the urge for the latest and
greatest technology piece.Yes. Perhaps different phrases meaning the same thing help a person understand better,.
After all, the biggest part of an upgrade process is 'understanding risk' and the biggest part of the DBAs job in production is 'mitigating risk'. For Risk Management, the more perspectives, the better.
That is really our job in a nutshell. And that may be why we often have challenges with developer's - their job is to get new capabilities and due to their time pressures they may not be looking at risks the same way. (Just look at how much exception handling the typical developer does.)

I can deploy Oracle XE for production in the Web?

I can deploy Oracle XE for production on web site with support for 100 users or more?

I run Oracle 10g XE on a home computer with 2GB of memory, and when I have a web browser, email, and SQL Developer open I am using more than 1GB of memory. If you're running Microsoft Office and other software on this machine while multiple users are accessing the database, my guess is that you're running out of physical memory and the operating system is running on swap/pagefile space (using the hard disk to emulate physical memory, which is extremely slow in comparison).
You could take a look at this by opening the Windows Task Manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC), watching the graphs/numbers in the Performance tab, and seeing if the "Commit Charge" number at the bottom is exceeding the amount of physical memory you have installed (check by viewing System Properties: WINKEY+BREAK).
My suggestion is, at the least, to run the XE database on a standalone PC/server (probably one with better CPU than a Celeron, which doesn't have much CPU cache), and make sure all the switches in your workplace are running at 100Mbps or 1Gbps speed, so that users pulling large datasets will have decent response times.

Do a system 'find' and locate 'em.ear'. What is the full path name to it? At acommand prompt, enter the following:
cd \
dir /s em.earcopy the entire session -- command and results, and paste back here.
Also, does the path to the installation files contain any spaces? Does the path to the installed ORACLE_HOME contain any spaces?

Oracle 11g for Visual Studio 2008 errors

I installed llg four(4) times and get the same result: I can't get a Data Connection!!! There is no other Oracle version on this computer and I've cleaned up the registry on all four installs. In order to run SQLNET you must first have a Data Connection! Can someone that has experience with Visual Studio and Oracle 11g installation please tell me what I'm doing wrong? HELP! PLEASE, email me directly at: [email protected] Thanks. Any documentation would be helpful.
Edited by: lam5158 on Sep 23, 2009 3:38 PM

Sorry, you are right and it's my fault. Thanks for the tip. I saw the versions listed when I did the install, but I didn't realize I needed to select any because I thought it would install automatically for whichever VS versions you had installed.
Thanks again! :)

Excellent test case, may by you should raise an SR and hope it ends up as a bug.
What happens if you "ping box01.data.local" what IP Address do you get back? You should be looking to get back the loopback address.
What happens if you do a nslookup 192.168.30.64 and 192.168.1.100?
Have you tred setting ORACLE_HOSTNAME? Not sure if this is just for the installer or not.

Oracle Installation for Production Environment.

Hi All,
We need to install Oracle in our production environment.
But since there is no DBA in our project, we need to do it by ourself.
I was just wondering what all steps and cautions I need to take to install it.
I was told just double click on Setup.exe :-) and that would suffice.
I am pretty sure its not that easy, atleast for a production environment.
We might need to set some params, may be.
We are at present using Oracle 10g Rel 1.
Any help/suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Tanuja

Well, it does more complicate than a double click of setup.exe, especially for a production database.
It's not only about the installation, also think about how do you want to create your database, the storage configuration, database configuration, and backup/recover strategy etc.
For installation, make sure you follow Oracle installation guide,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B10130_02/toc.htm
And there are many other document here

Improve XML readability in Oracle 11g for binary XMLType storage for huge files

I have one requirement in which I have to process huge XML files. That means there might be around 1000 xml files and the whole size of these files would be around 2GB.
What I need is to store all the data in these files to my Oracle DB. For this I have used sqlloader for bulk uploading of all my XML files to my DB and it is stored as binary XMLTYPE in my database.Now I need to query these files and store the data in relational tables.For this I have used XMLTable Xpath queries. Everything is fine when I try to query single xml file within my DB. But if it is trying to query all those files it is taking too much time which is not acceptable.
Here's my one sample xml content:
<ABCD>
<EMPLOYEE id="11" date="25-Apr-1983">
    <NameDetails>
      <Name NameType="a">
        <NameValue>
          <FirstName>ABCD</FirstName>
          <Surname>PQR</Surname>
          <OriginalName>TEST1</OriginalName>
          <OriginalName>TEST2</OriginalName>
        </NameValue>
      </Name>
      <Name NameType="b">
        <NameValue>
          <FirstName>TEST3</FirstName>
          <Surname>TEST3</Surname>
        </NameValue>
        <NameValue>
          <FirstName>TEST5</FirstName>
          <MiddleName>TEST6</MiddleName>
          <Surname>TEST7</Surname>
          <OriginalName>JAB1</OriginalName>
        </NameValue>
        <NameValue>
          <FirstName>HER</FirstName>
          <MiddleName>HIS</MiddleName>
          <Surname>LOO</Surname>
        </NameValue>
      </Name>
      <Name NameType="c">
        <NameValue>
          <FirstName>CDS</FirstName>
          <MiddleName>DRE</MiddleName>
          <Surname>QWE</Surname>
        </NameValue>
        <NameValue>
          <FirstName>CCD</FirstName>
          <MiddleName>YTD</MiddleName>
          <Surname>QQA</Surname>
        </NameValue>
        <NameValue>
          <FirstName>DS</FirstName>
          <Surname>AzDFz</Surname>
        </NameValue>
      </Name>
    </NameDetails>
</EMPLOYEE >
</ABCD>
Please note that this is just one small record inside one big xml.Each xml would contain similar records around 5000 in number.Similarly there are more than 400 files each ranging about 4MB size approx.
My xmltable query :
SELECT t.personid,n.nametypeid,t.titlehonorofic,t.firstname,
        t.middlename,
        t.surname,
        replace(replace(t.maidenname, '<MaidenName>'),'</MaidenName>', '#@#') maidenname,
        replace(replace(t.suffix, '<Suffix>'),'</Suffix>', '#@#') suffix,
        replace(replace(t.singleStringName, '<SingleStringName>'),'</SingleStringName>', '#@#') singleStringName,
        replace(replace(t.entityname, '<EntityName>'),'</EntityName>', '#@#') entityname,
        replace(replace(t.originalName, '<OriginalName>'),'</OriginalName>', '#@#') originalName
FROM xmlperson p,master_nametypes n,
         XMLTABLE (
          --'ABCD/EMPLOYEE/NameDetails/Name/NameValue'
          'for $i in ABCD/EMPLOYEE/NameDetails/Name/NameValue

                    {$i/Surname}{$i/MaidenName}{$i/EntityName}
                </row>'
        PASSING p.filecontent
        COLUMNS
                personid     NUMBER         PATH '@id',
                nametypeid   VARCHAR2(255) PATH '@NameType',
                titlehonorofic VARCHAR2(4000) PATH 'TitleHonorific',
                 firstname    VARCHAR2(4000) PATH 'FirstName',
                 middlename VARCHAR2(4000) PATH 'MiddleName',

                ) t where t.nametypeid = n.nametype and n.recordtype = 'Person'
But this is taking too much time to query all those huge data. The resultset of this query would return about millions of rows. I tried to index the table using this query :
CREATE INDEX myindex_xmlperson on xml_files(filecontent) indextype is xdb.xmlindex parameters ('paths(include(ABCD/EMPLOYEE//*))');
My Database version :
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
"CORE 11.2.0.2.0 Production"
TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
Index is created but still no improvement with the performance though. It is taking more than 20 minutes to query even a set of 10 similar xml files.Now you can imagine how much will it take to query all those 1000 xml files.
Could someone please suggest me how to improve the performance of my database.Since I am new to this I am not sure whether I am doing it in proper way. If there is a better solution please suggest. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Odie..
I tried to run your code through all the xml files but it is taking too much time. It has not ended even after 3hours.
When I tried to do a single insert select statement for one single xml it is working.But stilli ts in the range of ~10sec.
Please find my execution plan for one single xml file with your code.

Please note that this is for a single xml file. I have like more than 400 similar files in the same table.
And for your's as well as Jason's Question:
What are you trying to accomplish with
replace(replace(t.originalName, '<OriginalName>'),'</OriginalName>', '#@#') originalName
originalName XMLTYPE PATH 'OriginalName'
Like Jason, I also wonder what's the purpose of all those XMLType projections and strange replaces in the SELECT clause
What I was trying to achieve was to create a table containing separate rows for all the multi item child nodes for this particular xml.
But since there was an error beacuse of multiple child nodes like 'ORIGINALNAME' under 'NAMEVALUE' node, I tried this script to insert those values by providing a delimiter and replacing the tag names.

Please let me know whether this has helped.
My intention is to save the details in the xml to different relational tables so that I can easily query it from my application. I have similarly many queries which inserts the xml values to different tables like the one which I have mentioned here. I was thinking of creating a stored procedure to insert all these values in the relational tables once I receive the xml files. But even a single query is taking too much time to complete. Could you please help me in this regard. Waiting for your valuable feedback.

Set events parameter in oracle 11g for SAP

Hi All,
Recently we have upgraded 10.2.0.4 oracle database to 11.2.0.3 (AIX 7.1) for SAP application.
Some non-default event parameters were set when Database was running with 10.2.0.4 version. After upgrade to 11.2.0.3, those events were not seen in pfile/spfile. However, post_upgrade log shows that those events were set (and log displays the list of the events as well).
Now, my concern is whether those event parameters were set already by default (if it is already set after upgrade, not sure why pfile not reflecting them) or do I need to set the parameters manually.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Regards,
Prakash

Yes, they seem to be part of the upgrade itself, and SAP seems to set them in multiple places:
1) During the dbua.sap.sh run, post-processing calls custom scripts which set these events (check the CustomScript.log in $ORACLE_BASE/cfgtoollogs/dbua/SID/upgrade1 and you can see where it is set)
2) The post_upgrade_status.sql script in $ORACLE_HOME/sap/ora_upgrade/post_upgrade sets them when you run it as directed after the upgrade
3) The SBP post-patch instructions specify a command to run that sets these in the spfile
I don't think any of the upgrade steps regenerate the pfile, so if you're looking at one you generated pre-upgrade (like I did earlier today to pull out underscore parameters and user/background_dump_dest) that you then used to startup the database, SAP is definitely changing stuff behind your back. I'd just regenerate the pfile to avoid confusion.

Ideas on how to export from Oracle (11g) for import into a MSSQL server?

Hi folks,
Crazy question yes...but I have some devs that are needing to export some schemas/tables from Oracle to somehow import into MSSQL.
Are there any utilities our there, hopefully from Oracle that would allow for this? So far, all I can think of are to generate the DDL from the Oracle instance, and then do some scripts to output the data in a cvs type format....
Anything better than this?
Any links or suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
cayenne

Senior Oracle DBAThank you for the prompt reply. I'm looking into this and am finding some Oracle documentation, but just off the top of my head, this approach seems to assume the 2 database servers can see or talk to each other.
What if the oracle box is on one network...that cannot connect to the network that the MSSQL box is on. For example..running off some test data from one company to another company with networks that do not cross?Assuming some acceptable export/import utility, how do you plan on getting the file from the source to the target if the two servers are on networks that cannot talk to each other?Well, I'm still trying to gather facts, this is just a question coming in from some developers.
From what it may be, is that the can scp from site to site, but no direct connectivity between the database servers on the sites...isolated, maybe a DMZ...I dunno everything yet.Well, you either have connectivity between the two machines or you don't. Binary decision tree.
IF net_connectivity_exists
     you can use oracle sqlnet enabled capabilities
     OR
     you can transfer an export file via ftp, sftp, scp, etc.
ELSE
     you have to transfer an export file via sneakernet
END-IF

Upgrade ASM Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 to ASM Oracle 11G R2 on Windows 2008 SP2

Please advice on procedure or where I can find information on upgrading ASM from Oracle 10G to Oracle 11G R2 (Winwdows 2008 SP2 64bit environment) for mutiple Oracle instances (not a RAC environrment).
The current scenario is as follow:
- Two oracle homes; one for ASM instance and another for the Oracle Databases (in current case only two oracle instances possiblly more at a later time). Both (ASM and Oracle databases) have the same version of Oracle 10.2.4.0.
The Oracle database home can't be upgraded due to application restricition (Vendor Application not tested on Oracle 11G) but will like to upgrade the ASM instance to Oracle 11G (Oraclle 11G R2).
Questions:
- Is is a feasable solution? Can I upgrade ASM instance to Oracle 11G R2 to take advantage of new features? Will the ASM upgrade scenario is compatible with the Oracle Database Instance running Oracle 10G? Any possible issues that I should be aware or concerns?
Is it possible to have ASM running in Oracle 11G R2 and service the need of Oracle database instance running in 10G?
Please advice or where I can obtained information on the matter. Also possibly if someone has done it on Windows 2008 SP2 (not Windows 2008R2).
Thanks in advance

Thanks so I can upgrade the ASM Home instance and leave the Oracle Databases home on Oracle 10.2.0.4.
I agree with you not just 100%, actually 120%. Fortunately, the vendor is finally understanding by pressure provided by DBAs and Application Teams that they are very behind the curve. It is working and by summer we should have an oracle 11G compatible product.
The same thought went when I was told of their compatability database level.
