Oracle 8i over W2K Server

Dear sirs:
i have installed Oracle 8i over W2K Server + SP2 on a Windows NT domain, over a independient server. The clients runs W9X.
My question is:
is it possible work with oracle databases and the server do not appair on the Network Neightboor, and no resources shared appair trough My Network Places on the clients?
Best regards.

maybe oracle is not running anymore as a "service" :()

  • Why I've choosed Oracle Certifications over SQL Server's : Highly Specified

    Since doing my Internship on SQL Analysis/Optimization on both Oracle and SQL Server as we support both for our Products, I wanted to target a relevant certification to enforce my experience and as a consequence my CV.
    I was in hesitation on choosing between an SQL Server certification or an Oracle Database Certification.
    Instinctly I would have gone for SQL server for the following reasons
    1. As I'm new and totally unexperienced it feels much easier and appealling to me
    2. It is more simple and thus easier than Oracle
    3. I've Experienced it more - since the first weeks as introductive, while Oracle was and is a more misty field
    But the basic reason I decided to head towards Oracle was Simple : Highly Specified Certification.
    In my placemnt, I primarly analyse and optimize preset API SQL Statements. So what I learn and do, is SQL and SQL optimization techniques.
    And on Oracle I can be provided certifications specifically for this. SQL Expert, PL/SQL, SQL Tuning.
    On the other side, Microsoft hasn't such a thing at all, with the only Certification available being MCSA.
    To get the MCSA certification I need 3 different Exams 1 Querying 2 Administering 3 Implementing a Data Warehouse with Microsoft SQL Server 2012
    Sector on which I dont have a clue. So a logic +"Either Everything or Nothing"+ No thank you sir I wont take.
    At the best I can take just the 1.Querying BUT
    1. It combines SQL, T-SQL, Optimization in one Exam. But I dont work much with T-SQL, I would prefer an exam just on SQL or Optimization. AND
    2. Its not even considered a full Certification
    While in Oracle I can (if I'll make it and find time for their bigger extend) take a Certification on SQL, and a Certification on Tunning which are the exact fields of my Placement.
    And if i suceed I can extend to PL/SQL, but until then I dont have to bother for PL/SQL which I dont use much.
    I dont care if I need separate payments and procedures, since I can organise Studies & Exercise one field at a time, than having to care for both PLUS a field I dont actually use much.
    And then there is also the positive that you will gain certification for the Top and mos advanced DBMS. And that its not only about that Oracle Devs are less and thus maybe more easy to get hired but also that "if you learn the Difficult(Oracle), then if you have to learn the Easy (SQL Server) it would be easier possible, than the opposite"
    So Oracle Certs have in my case that positive Frame
    1. Specified Certifications Mirroring Exactly your Sectors
    2. Helps self-organisation your Study-Learning Distincting each sector
    3. No1 DBMS, more promitment,
    4. As more difficult, it will be surely easier to transfer to SQL Server if there will be need afterwards , than the opposite
    While SQL Server Certifications on the opposite have a negative Frame
    1. Only Full Certification is MCSA for the Entire SQL Serve Set, things I dont know
    2. Only an Exam 1.Querying is possible, which is Not A full Certification
    3. Mischiefs 3 fields to 1 SQL, Optimizing, T-SQL in one for which I dont operate all on the same level and will fragment the study organisation (no educative logic at all)
    4. SQL Server is Easier than Oracle. Being 22 yet, if need comes up it will be harder to transfer to Oracle. The opposite will be easier i think.
    Well under these circumstances for my situation, to set on Oracle Path I think it was more than clearly better.
    It outpasses even the needing of X4 funds for the same knowledge (SQL+Tuning+PL/SQL)

    It might seem easier on the surface, a point and click interface might be easier acessible for some, but both are complex product suits and neither database engine/platform has a small or "easy" feature set.
    My view is sort of the opposite of yours (of course, it might be a natural view from a long experience with databases and data systems); Oracle DBAs have to be good at what they do, when on the other hand almost anyone can fool themselves thinking they are MSSS DBAs (clicking around in a "explorer" like interface, how hard can it be?). But in reality, it will takes ten's of years of learning and doing on each platform and their applications to be really great at it.
    3. I've Experienced it more - since the first weeks as introductive, while Oracle was and is a more misty fieldSeems like this is the key - you'll only really learn when you dive in and try, fail and try again... (different thresholds on learning curve/steps may vary).
    On the other side, Microsoft hasn't such a thing at all, with the only Certification available being MCSA.You seem to have completely missed the Pro, Master and even Architect levels. Also, for the more "specified", there's implementor, db developer, BI developer tracks with TS and ITP exams/certifications.
    For your case you may want to compare with MCITP Developer track, which has a certificate after each exam (TS, then ITP).
    Remember that MS has a different certification layout. There may be 3 or even 5 steps (exams) before you'll get certified on some level, where as you might need 1 or 2 exams completed to get a Oracle Database cert.
    To get the MCSA certification I need 3 different Exams 1 Querying 2 Administering 3 Implementing a Data Warehouse with Microsoft SQL Server 2012See previous points :)
    At the best I can take just the 1.Querying BUT
    1. It combines SQL, T-SQL, Optimization in one Exam. But I dont work much with T-SQL, I would prefer an exam just on SQL or Optimization. AND
    2. Its not even considered a full Certification Again, look at and compare with Querying/Development and Designing Database Solutions.
    Depending on your outset and "point of view" on things, on the road ahead you could choose to not be blind to "the other side" (whichever one) but learn to discern and apply, reinforcing knowledge from whatever aspect you'll learn and see and know. Be open and open to re-learning stuff. If you don't take things too literally, sql and performance and scalability matters exists on both platforms. You might be able to learn e.g troubleshooting and optimization, not O* troubleshooting and optimization. Also this is a wast area, about performance, becuase you'll need to know systems, how systems fit toghether and maybe more importantly how the users use the system, how they think they use the system, getting to know them and how to hear and control their expectations (yes, you'll be amazed in ten or twenty yers from now how much "psychology" this really is about).
    The (hopefully long) road towards/before exams and certification is what you should put your mind and effort to. As with most other aspects of life; there are no quick fixes - that is just how we "ignore" things we not really want to invest in.
    >

But consider actually learning SQL and learning tuning (which will take years) not just "take a certification".
    And if i suceed I can extend to PL/SQL, but until then I dont have to bother for PL/SQL which I dont use much.This might be a sign of "narrow tracking" too early. Learning a little PL/SQL or whatever skills will help in ways you do not yet know. Read what EdStevens has written on the forums on the topic of studying (learning systems from having a major within music).
    It outpasses even the needing of X4 funds for the same knowledge (SQL+Tuning+PL/SQL)Knowledge does not come from taking exams (if you don't mean the "I know how to do multiple choice tests"-kind of knowledge).
    Perhaps it is better in the long run if you study and experience and do the things you like to do, and let the certificates come later on when the time is right.

  • Advantages / Disadvantages of 10gAS over Forms Server 6i

    Hi gurus,
    Is there any document/ links available related to advantages/disadvantages of Oracle 10gAs over Forms Server 6i. Either it can be functional wise/ performance wise/ feature wise/ configuration wise/ any thing else.
    Thanks in Advance
    Justin

    I don't believe so (we I certainly didn't write one!). If you go to otn.oracle.com/products/forms there are some new papers explaining the new features in each version subsequent to 6i. So in effect you can compare 6i and 10g by looking at the new features. However, support might be the biggest reason. 6i Forms is no longer supported.

  • 9i's Oracle Universal Installer problem in W2K server!  Please Help.

    Hi all,
    I am trying to install Oracle database 9i on my w2k server (domain controller). The Oracle Universal Installer quits right after I choose install in autorun menu with this message:
    'Error in writing to directory C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\OraInstall. Please ensure that this directory is writable and has at least 25 MB of Disk Space. Installation could not continue.'
    I am installing as the administrator of the domain/server and I have 17GB left on my harddisk. I am using a P3 600 with 384 MB of RAM. My HD is Seagate ATAIV Baracuda and my motherboard uses VIA chipset.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Regards,

    I am using Diamond TNT2 video card. I have tried to install new (not newest) detonator drive and VIA 4 in 1 driver ver4.29 but it still gives me the error. Would it help if I install Java2 runtime on this computer?

  • Not able to connect remote oracle database over VPN

    I can not connect remote oracle database over VPN. tnsping is ok and it shows the server information of remote database. i can also telnet the 1521 port of remote database server. I can connect the same server when it is located in the same LAN. Please help me out this is very urgent.

    First, this is a forum of volunteers.  There is no "urgent" here.
    "Urgent" means one of two things -
    1) people are dying, or
    2) you have a customer-facing, revenue-producing production system that is down.
    (And to get some perspective on the second case, keep the first in mind.)
    For the first, you call whatever civil emergency service seems appropriate.
    For the second, you open an SR with Oracle - which requires a paid-up support contract. For *them* to consider your problem "urgent", you will need to demonstrate that your problem falls under item #2. I seriously doubt your problem fits that criteria.
    You don't have a support contract?  Now you know the exact dollar figure that your company places on the data.
    That said, you need to understand a few things about your specific problem,
    First, port 1521 is only used by the listener to accept a connection request.  Once it gets that request (and finds that it is for a service (sid) that it knows about, it will fork a server process and tell the requesting client that it can communicate with that server process over some other port .. a randomly chosen port number in the "high" range.  It could be your vpn is blocking that other port, whereas your internal firewall is not.
    But this is just an educated guess since I cannot find "can not connect remote oracle database over VPN" in any error message manual. If you had mentioned the VPN along with an actual oracle error message we could be much more precise in our diagnoses and recommendations.
    ---- edit 22 Sep
    It occurred to me that I just assumed you were using the same client machine in both cases ... a laptop that you use both at work (local network) and home (vpn).  If that assumption is false, there are probably problems with your tns setup on the home (vpn) machine.
    But again, it would be much easier to help if you gave us an actual error message.

  • ODBC connectivity between Oracle 11G and MSSQL Server on Solaris 10

    When we were running in 10G, I was able to successfully configure hsodbc using unixODBC and freeTDS to allow for an ODBC connection between Oracle and MSSQL Server.

  • Oracle dblink to sql server, accessing multiple database on same sql server under one dblink

    Hi, we have successfully managed to set up an Oracle dblink over to sql server and retrieve data.
    The sql server user were using via the dblink has access to more than one database on the same sql server
    But the question is how in oracle (if at all possible) do you prefix the sql statement to access this ?
    Eg:
    Sqlserver_prod has user sqlserver_user which appears to be set up as default database on sqlserver_db1
    But we have select access to sqlserver_db2
    all work fine as sqlserver_user
    select * from  table_fromdb1
    select * from  dbo.table_fromdb1
    select * from  sqlserver_db1.dbo.table_fromdb1
    as does
    select * from  sqlserver_db2.dbo.table_fromdb2
    over in Oracle
    Oracle_db has dblink sqlserver_prod.world connecting as sqlserver_user
    all working fine
    select * from "table_fromdb1"@sqlserver_prod
    select * from "dbo"."table_fromdb1"@sqlserver_prod
    but how (if at all possible) do I access from oracle
    sqlserver_db2.dbo.table_fromdb2
    without having to create a new sqlserver_db2_user referenced in a new dblink
    if oracle to oracle would be
    select * from remote_oracle_schema.table@remote_oracle_db

    Hi, ok cheers, I see, original gateway was connecting purely at host_name level
    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=sqlserver_host
    Planning to amend this to be
    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=sqlserver_host//sqlserver_db1
    With exisiting dblink
    And to create new gateway
    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=sqlserver_host//sqlserver_db2
    With new exisitng dblink,will see how we get on
    Cheers again

  • How to provide joins between oracle tables and sql server tables

    Hi,
    I have a requirement that i need to generate a report form two different data base. i.e Oracle and Sql Server.
    how to provide joins between oracle tables and sql server tables ? Any help on this

Heterogeneous joins do not exactly scale and performance can be severely degraded by network speed and b/w availability. And there is nothing you can do in the application and database layers to address performance issue at the network level in this case - your code's performance is simply at the mercy of network performance. With a single glaring fact - network performance is continually degrading. All the time. Always. Until it is upgraded. When the performance degradation starts all over again.
    If the tables are not small (few 1000 rows each) and row volumes static, I would not consider doing a heterogeneous join. Instead I would rather go for a materialised view on the Oracle side, use a proper table and index structure, and do a local database join.

  • Oracle Vs Ms Sql Server to handle around 6-7 Terabytes of data

    I am considering Oracle 11G to handle around 6-7 Terabytes of data. This data will get accumulated over a period of 8 Months. Any data older then 8 months is purged out of the database.
    Some of my MS SQL DBAs are saying SQL server offers similar performance at a very low cost. Is this really true? On What basis or parameters I can compare Oracle with MS SQL Server to nullify the price advantage?
    I am not looking for ease of development, I am purely looking in terms of handling the huge data and still be able to provide good performance. Apart from performance if there is any parameter which makes any difference then please highlight.

    As with any database requirements tend to drive the best technology to utilize.
    I have run Oracle and MS SQL Server as well as MySQL and PostgreSQL.
    If you are looking to support a fairly large user based on a database that is 6-7 TB is size where a good portiion of the data is subject to access then there is really is no comparison. Oracle does a much better job of handling large user bases with large data sets then MS SQL Server or MySQL at least based on my experience with them.
    MySQL works very well for average user bases and smaller databases where the amount of data accessed is small. In other words you can have 6 TB of data and if you only frequently access 5GB of it then MySQL will work pretty well. If a large portion of the data is accessed all the time by many users you will struggle with MySQL. Most databases in MySQL I ran had issues at user bases of a few hundred with a database size of around 100G-200G, now my main expertise is in Oracle so there may be ways in MySQL to address this, but not easily as normal research and experiment channels did not yeild good results for me.
    I have had a MS SQL Server databases with thousands of users fall on it face with a database only 20GB in size, its was completely CPU bound with 8 CPUs, then moved the database to Oracle with minor code changes to accommidate the differences between Oracle and SQL server using the same hardware specs and CPU was a steady 50% for the same work load and basically the same application.
    I have found the capabilities of Oracle for large data sets and large users provide advantages that the other databases just did not offer or did not do well enough to overcome. Does not mean that Oracle is perfect, or the other databases are bad, but there are a lot of options and capabilities in oracle the I can take advantage of not to mention if I need to I can run on high end Unix hardware and goto 64CPU dozens of I/O channels, etc. I can not do that with MS SQL Server as Windows is my only option and the intel platform just does not hit the capabilties of higher end Unix Hardware.
    When deciding the database to use cost should be the last factor used. If the database will not do what you need it to do then low cost does not help you. Deteremine the needs and requirements and then examine the database features and capabilities to determine what might work best for your situation. If it is a critical business function and you need the caddie then your business will pay for the caddie, it if needs a malibu then pay for the malibu or if it needs the yugo then pay for the yugo. Implement the right technologies where you need them. However there is something of an advantage to limit the number of technologies you will need to support as a jack of all trades never becomes an expert and that in of itself can be costly when trying to overcome issues developed by limitations of a database technology.

  • Load balancing Oracle Forms in Application Server

    Hi,
    We're currently planning moving from client-server forms to webforms running on Oracle Application Server (10.1.2.0.2). To meet our high availability requirements, we plan to run our forms app servers active-active. We're coming a little unstuck determining the best method of load balancing requests between these however.
    Currently the main sticking point is determining whether to go for software or hardware load balancers. One of the main things we're unsure of is how much traffic we can expect to flow through the network. In our client-server environment we typically have 900-1000 active connections during peak load and ~350 forms coming in at just over 300Mb in total.
    If you have any experience load balancing between Oracle Forms on Application Server, we'd appreciate it if you could share details of you setup and how it's performing; particularly:
    * Whether you have software/hardware load balancing
    * The number of connections this supports
    * Details of the volume of network traffic you have
    Thanks,
    Chris

    We have implemented both hardware load-balancers and Webcache as load-balancer. Depending on the situation either may be the best solution. In general we recommend to use hardware load-balancers for production systems that require high availability. However, Webcache is very reliable as well and a Webcache instance can be recovered very quickly in case of a failure (use the cloning facility to create a copy of the instance on new hardware within minutes).
    When using https for your applications we do not recommend to use WebCache as there are several issues to cope with then, one is performance (https acceleration facilities are often part of hardware load-balancers).

  • Transfer data from 2 oracle version to sql server 2005

    Hi,
    I have two database servers on different machines. They are
    1) Oracle 8.1.7.4
    2) Oracle 7.3.1.4
    I have to create agents which can transfer tables from these two databases to one machine having sql server 2005 database.
    Please tell me what are the options. What drivers i need to install on machine having sql server 2005 so that i can transfer data from both oracle versions.
    Thanks
    Rajneesh.

    You could create a linked server. Install the Oracle client on the server with SQL Server 2005, setup the TNS to your Oracle databases, create the linked server and then grab the data that way. There are migration tools as well but if the database is small in size I found linked servers to work and give me better control over the migration. This assumes that the database is not very large. If it is really large a migration tool might be a better option.

  • Can you synchronise a Nokia E61 with Oracle Calendar over the wire?

    Hi there.
    I work in IT and I have just got the Nokia E61 to test out as an alternative to the MDA's that we currently have. Basically we are looking to phase these out as they have proved to be very unreliable but they have been relatively easy to setup via ActiveSync.
    Now that I have just received a Nokia E61 to test I was wondering; is there a way I can get Oracle Calendar to synchronise over the wire as opposed to over the air,
    just like i could on the MDA's after installing Oracle Calendar Sync for Pocket PC.
    The reason why I ask is as a company we would like to do over the wire is so that pc users can synchronise their organisers via usb without costing the company any money via GPRS connections.
    Is their a possibility that this could be done or will I have to go down the SyncML route?
    In advance many thanks for your help!

    This cannot be achieved with the Synthesis SyncML client. The latest Oracle Calendar Application System server patch (10.1.2.3.1) only mentions Nokia N90 and 6682.
    So Oracle does not support Nokia E61 yet. I suggest that you raise an enhancement request SR on Metalink.
    Best regards,
    Fred
