Oracle 8.1.7 documentation is where?

Oracle 8.1.7
Windows 2000 Server
If a person wanted a system administrator's manual of Oracle 8.1.7, the person would go to http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/content.html correct?
Got there from
1) http://otn.oracle.com/ and select Database in dropdown list
2) clicking the Documentation link on the left
3) clicking on "Oracle8i and Oracle8i Personal Edition" in the "Archived Products" section.
4) looking in the sections, "Oracle8i Server 8.1.7 - User, Administrator, and Developer Guides" and "Oracle8i Server 8.1.7 - MS Windows"
I do not see an appropriate a system administrator manual designed to describe things like how to do commands like "alter database" and drop a datafile or how to export and import or archive a database for safe keeping .... ?
Does anyone? Thanks.

All sql commands including those used for database administration are in the SQL Reference Guide (not SQL*Plus).
For other topics, it would depend on what it was you were looking for, the are different volumes on Administration, Reference (init parameters and data dictionary), Tuning, Backup, etc.
The site makes a couple of references to downloading, but don't worry about it, just follow the links and select HTML versions and you will eventurally get there. There is also a search engine available http://otn.oracle.com/pls/tahiti/tahiti.homepage that will allow you to search by topic.

Where's the Oracle Forms Java API documentation for 11g?

Hi,
Can anyone point me in the direction of the Oracle Forms Java API documentation?
The only thing I can find is this: http://www.oratransplant.nl/1012jdapiDoc/oracle/forms/jdapi/JdapiModule.html but this seems to be for 10.1.2 and it doesn’t correspond to the version I’m using (11.1.1.3).
Help appreciated,
Donal.

i couldn't find the api either however if you implement the class you will simply get compiler errors explaining what you left out.

Oracle 9i Data Guard Documentation

Hi,
I am trying to get documentation on Oracle 9i Data Guard.
When I am at this url: http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/htdocs/DataGuardOverview.html
I then activate the link on the right for "Oracle 9i Data Guard Documentation".
However, the link moves me to "Oracle 9i list of books", instead of where I want to be.
Can you please rectify this or send me the link to get this documentation.
Thanks,
Jason Metzker

Hi
The response I received in regards to the links to the Oracle 9i Data Guard Documentation page is that the link is correct.
The Data Guard doc is part of the database documentation set which is why the Oracle 9i Data Guard Documentation links takes you to the list of books. The Data Guard Documentation is also listed in the list of books.
Thanks & Regards,

Oracle Grid Siebel Agent Documentation

I am looking for any Oracle Grid Siebel Agent documentation. I recently implemeted the Siebel Agent within Oracle Grid 10.2.0.4 and am looking for any documentation around configuring the metrics that come with the Siebel Agent. It appears that it is scaled dwon from other monitoring solution software which I have used in the past however, I am still evaluating it so any solid documentation would be of great assistance. Again, I do not need the documentation around the base Oracle Grid DB monitoring but the Siebel Agent which is monitored from within the Oracle Grid tool.
Thanks

Siebel Pack specific information is contained in the Oracle Application Management Pack for Siebel Getting Started Guide. Look for it at

Which network is Oracle using for RAC traffic ? where you will get info ? ?

Hi,
I am using two node RAC on Oracle 10g R2 (10.2.0.3.0) version on SUN Solaris 10 . I want to know "Which network is Oracle using for RAC traffic ? where you will get info "
--Kumar

Hi Kumar,
In 10g, you can query x$ksxpia. If the cluster_interconnect information is stored in OCR (default), you will get
SQL> select INST_ID,PUB_KSXPIA,PICKED_KSXPIA, NAME_KSXPIA,IP_KSXPIA from x$ksxpia;
If you specified the cluster_interconnects parameter in your init.ora:
Columns to look in : INST_ID P PICK NAME_KSXPIA IP_KSXPIA
And also you can use 'oradebug ipc' to see which interconnects the database is using:
SQL> oradebug setmypid
SQL> oradebug ipc
Hope it helps...
Thanks

Oracle Flexcube installation and documentation?

Hi all,
I am looking for documentation and software requirements to setup Oracle Flexcube. The only documentation I can find so far is the brochure from Oracle:
http://www.oracle.com/us/industries/financial-services/046907.html
I understand that Flexcube was a product developed by Bangalore India team years ago and then acquired by Oracle. However, I cannot find the installation and configuration documentation for Oracle Flexcube and I also cannot find where to download the Oracle Flexcube software either.

Contact details are available in the same link -- http://www.oracle.com/us/industries/financial-services/046907.html
Please also see:

Oracle DB: How to parse XML where element names are non-standard ?

I'm in the unfortunate situation that I have illegal XML that I would like Oracle to parse. By 'illegal' in my case is that there are element names that start with an illegal character, such as a digit. Apart from this the XML is syntactically valid.
Here is an example of the XML I have stored as a column in the database:
<schedule>
    <1stweek>
    </1stweek>
    <2ndweek>
    </2ndweek>
</schedule>Right now I'm doing text search-and-replace on the XML text before I let Oracle parse it, for example replacing '<1stweek>' with '<x1stweek>' and so on. Needless to say this is very slow.
My question is if there is a way to tell the XML parser in the Oracle DB (I'm using version 10.2) to be a bit more forgiving ? ... so that it will accept element names that start with e.g. a digit ? I know that such an option exist in some XML parsers but what about Oracle's and if so how to set the option?
And before you ask I'll answer myself: No, I'm not the one who created the non-standard XML. It is from a third-party application which I cannot change myself and cannot get the vendor to change either.
Thank you.

if you cast your clob to an xmltype then you can search and extract values based on tags.
Heres an example where the table is a clob and value is cast and I'm looking for an existing attribute_name.
Check out the Oracle XML developers Guide
select u.*
FROM preload_xml
, XMLTable(
'/ApplicationProfile/ScriptFragment' PASSING xmltype(xml)
COLUMNS name varchar2(50 char) PATH '/ScriptFragment/@Name'
) u

Hi,
I am sorry, I am writing to you but not in regards to your problem. Rather, I need a favor, can you pls upload a set of files to install forms 4.5 and reports 2.5 on some webserver and give me a link?
Alternatively, if you know of a link, pls let me know.
I have an old development, I need to make some changes in that and it has become a must for me, because with conversion to forms 6.0 I am getting errors.

How to install a new oracle 9i in the same server where a 8i is installed

Hello and sorry for been an inexperience dba.
Now I need to install 9i oracle version in the same server (solaris os-5.9) where is previously installed a 8i. I'm reading the installation guide and I know that I have to make two different oracle home, and then two different owners .
My problem is when I've seen the kernel parameters and their permissions and of course all of them have the owner the old oracle user.
Do you know if I have to change some of this parameters?
How to do that, and where can I find some guide to follow ?
thanks in advance

and then two different owners .Not necessarily, you can use the same OS user, of course on a different Oracle Home.
where can I find some guide to follow ?http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/A96167_01/pre.htm#sthref106

Oracle length semantics migration documention

Due to the oracle documention to migrate length semantics:
To convert an existing schema and its associated data from byte semantics and a single-byte character set to character semantics and a multibyte character set, such as UTF-8, you need only follow these steps: [The following steps have been corrected since the magazine was printed.]
1. Export the schema.
2. Issue an ALTER SYSTEM SET NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR SCOPE=BOTH command on the target database.
3. Stop and restart the instance so that the parameter change takes effect.
4. Drop the original schema.
5. Recreate the original schema and its tables (you can use import's show=Y option to get the CREATE TABLE statements). Columns in the recreated tables will use character semantics, because that's now the default.
6. Import the schema into the target database using the IGNORE=Y import option.
What is the meaning of the terms target and original?
Suppose there is a (source) database with length semantics byte. If a (target) database
is to be created as a clone of the (source) database, except for the length semantic char, does one have to migrate the (source) database first?
Or rather, why is it not possible to
1. Export the data from the source database with length semantic byte,
2. Create a target database with length semantics char,
3. Import the data from the source database?)

This documentation is, unfortunately, poorly written.
If you want to migrate data from one database to another, with both databases having different character sets, you can avoid some data expansion issues, if you migrate to character set semantics at the same time.
You cannot just export data, and import it into a character semantics database, because export/import preserves original semantics of the exported tables.
Note: there is actually no such thing as a character semantics database. Character semantics is a column/variable property. The "character semantics database" is a confusing, though commonly used, term that actually means an instance which has NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS set to CHAR in its initialization file. The only significant meaning of this parameter is to be the default for session-level NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS. It is used for sessions that do not set this parameter explictly (through environment variable or ALTER SESSION). The session-level parameter is significant for CREATE TABLE/PROCEDURE/FUNCTION/PACKAGE [BODY] statements and tells the default for column and variable declarations that do not specify BYTE or CHAR explicitly.
To migrate semantics of an original schema you need to create a script that will contain all CREATE statements needed to recreate this schema (at least CREATE {TYPE | TABLE | MATERIALIZED VIEW | PROCEDURE | FUNCTION | PACKAGE [BODY]}). Then, you can just add the ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR after any CONNECT command in this script. You can than run the script in the target database. How you create the script is irrelevant. You can use any reverse-engineering tool available (e.g. SHOW=Y option of import, DBMS_METADATA package, etc.)
After you pre-create the schema with the new semantics, you can import the data from the original (source) database with IGNORE=Y. The original semantics saved in the export file will be ignored for pre-created objects.
Note: PL/SQL may need manual corrections to migrate to character semantics. For example, SUBSTRB used to trim values before assignment may need to be replaced with SUBSTR.

Build issue regarding missing Oracle.DataAccess.Client.dll ... where is it

I'm building a new .sln file and it gave me an error in a file that referenced the following:
<Schema Namespace="Model.Store" Alias="Self" Provider="Oracle.DataAccess.Client" ProviderManifestToken="11.2" xmlns:store="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/12/edm/EntityStoreSchemaGenerator" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2009/02/edm/ssdl">
It seemed to be complaining that it could not fine the assembly associated with the provider. I installed the Oracle Data Provider installation package and rebuilt and it was working fine. What I wanted to know is where is this assembly. I cannot locate it on my laptop. I did see a reference regarding "Configuration File Support and Search Order for Unmanaged DLLs". It stated:
The Oracle.DataAccess.dll searches for dependent unmanaged DLLs (such as Oracle Client) based on the following order:
1.     Directory of the application or executable.
2.     DllPath setting specified by application config or web.config.
3.     DllPath setting specified by machine.config.
4.     DllPath setting specified by the Windows Registry.
HKEY_LOCAL_ MACHINE\Software\Oracle\ODP.NET\version\DllPath
5.     Directories specified by the Windows PATH environment variable.
I did see where the installation package modified the machine..config file. Can somebody tell me how the reference tot eh "missing" assembly is resolved?
Thanks, Eric

Oracle.DataAccess.dll is usually in the ODP.NET\bin folder of your Oracle installation. There's one for .net 2 and another for .net 4.
