Any ideas?
Installation completed without any error with oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on SuSE linux 8.0
But without sqlplus I cannot start and stop database!

I am having the same problem with redhat 7.2 and 9.2.0.1.0. I am looking for reasons why the error is coming up, but can't find anything. Have you gotten anywhere?

Help with Oracle Report Builder and SQL Server2000

Hey guys,
I just installed it Oracle Developer Suite10g with Report Builder and I am trying to use Report builder and wants to connect with SQL Server 2000. The problem that I am running in to is SQL Server 2000 i have is Window Authentication so Does not required to enter user name and password. So how can i connect my report builder to SQL server or is it possible to connect Report builder to SQL server?
Also, I want to create small practice version of database in Oracle how do i do it? what i mean by that is I installed trial version or Oracle developer 10g from www.oracle.com and now trying to get some knowledge with oracle. Could any one can give me some direction in this matter please.
Thank You

Have a look at the reports help for the purpose header and trailer sections. Here is an exert:
"Report sectioning enables you to define multiple layouts in the same report, each with a different target audience, output format, page layout, page size, or orientation. You can define up to three report sections, each with a body area and a margin area: the names of the sections are Header, Main, and Trailer. By default, a report is defined in the Main section. In the other sections, you can define different layouts, rather than creating multiple separate reports. If you wish, you can use the margin and body of the Header and Trailer sections to create a Header and Trailer page for your reports."

Oracle Personal Edition and SQL dev. tool

I installed Oracle 10g Personal Edition on my laptop and want to use SQL Creator (SQL developer's tool/program - http://www.snefru.com/index.jsp) with it.
I'm trying to setup my SQL developers tool to connect to my local Oracle database and there is a connection wizard for the SQL program which prompts me:
1.) "Select a JDBC driver..."
2.) "Enter Host name for the server that the database is located on...."
3.) "Enter Port number that the database is listening on...."
4.) "Unique SID of the database instance..."
How can I find out 1.) - 4.) for my specific, local database?
Thanks in advance...

When you run SQL*Plus, what is the version number displayed:
C:\>sqlplus

Enter user-name:?
You woudl download the driver that matches with that release.
if you did the database install, chances are you already have the jdbc driver installed.
Do you have a directry ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib ?
Do you have files like classes*.jar in that directory?
if you do you already have the jdbc driver files.

Oracle 11g stats and SQL plan mgt

Oracle 11.0.1.7:
- According to what I have read so far in the various documents it looks like when dbms gather stats run and if that results in new sql plan oracle will not automatically start using that plan until it's verified by sql tuning advisor or is evolved. Is that correct? Is that the default behaviour?
- I just upgraded from 10g to 11g so I am not sure how stats is behaving currently. I am really concerned and want to understand how it's behaving.
- How can I tell what's going on currently in the system in terms of stats gathering and if the new better plan is being used or not.

You have the default setting for the two parameters in place. That means, that if SQL Plan Baselines exist, they will be used, thereby preventing new execution plans from getting used without evolvement
optimizer_use_sql_plan_baselines=true does that.
But by default, there are no SQL Plan Baselines as long as you don't create them - for example with the setting of
optimizer_capture_sql_plan_baselines=trueYou can check whether SQL Plan Baselines exist with
select * from dba_sql_plan_baselines;It should return no rows.

Oracle 11g XE and SQL Developer

Hello:
Very new here. I'm not sure where to post anything. Apologies, but I'm all over the board.
I've installed 11g and downloaded SQL Developer (not even sure if this needs to be "installed" as it's just a zip file).
Anyway, at the SQL command line I enter CONNECT SYSTEM and then my password. I get the following error:
ORA 12154: TNS could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
Also, the "get started" link does not work either. Not sure what's going on or if it's specific to my laptop. I've been trying to connect for two days to no avail.
thank for any help.

ODBC errors for Oracle Migration Workbench and SQL Server 2000 on Windows

Hi all-
I setup a new ODBC connection for the Oracle 10g Migration Workbench to MS SQL Server 2000 on Windows XP and keep getting the following errors when I try to
either test the new ODBC connection to MS SQL Server 2000 for use with the Oracle Migration Workbench tool. Goal is to fix these errors so that I can migrate our test SQL Server 2000 databases to Oracle 10g.
Current configuration
- Oracle 10.1 Migration Workbench
- Oracle 10g Database (target)
- MS SQL Server 2000 (source database)
-Windows XP
-ODBC 3.85.1117 driver for Windows XP with SQL Server and Oracle
Errors:
I. When I test the ODBC connection:
Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver Version 03.85.1117
Running connectivity tests...
Attempting connection
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]Specified SQL server not found.
TESTS FAILED!
Now here is what has me totally confused:
I can use the command line ISQL to access the database on the server and IP is all correct and port is available. So I can access the SQL Server database fine it is when I try to setup ODBC that it gives me problems.
Any tips how to get this ODBC working?
Thanks

1. Jing Jin. If you had READ the post you would have seen that installing later versions is NOT an option.
2. Not supported does NOT mean does NOT work, as Balmukund pointed out in the referenced thread. The site that this databases supports is using ASP which is also NOT supported by Microsoft. As it turns out Balmukund's solution actually turns
out to be the correct solution. I installed SS2K and its Service pack 4 on the machine last night. Good answer Balmukund. as we say in the Navy, "BRAVO ZULU!!" which means "WELL DONE!!
3. Tom Li I just posted the question less than 48 hours ago. My last post was less than 24 hours ago. I think I have the right to be given the opportunity to determine whether a reply is the answer or not. I understand you don't like unanswered
posts sitting around for weeks, months or years. (I don't like it either as I have a few that are still unanswered after several years.) But you should not be showing replies as answers before I even get a chance to see them, much less try them out.
You should also not be showing replies as answers which don't address the criteria of the question. I specifically stated that I had to install SS2K. I went on to state, "And before anyone asks I need to install this version because that is what
the customer is using and I need to duplicate their databases." So the correct answer, if in fact SS2K did not work on Windows 7, would have been a virtual machine answer, as suggested on the thread Balmukund referenced. So before you mark a reply
as an answer read the question.

Please advise me to rectify the error. We've been working for the last couple of weeks.
Regards,

Sunil,
You don't need an Oracle ODBC driver.
The way it works is that in the gateway init<sid>.ora file, in your case initTelemetryDB1.ora, the parameter HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO points to a system DSN. This DSN should then be configured to use an ODBC driver to connect to the non-Oracle database. So, in your setup when you want to access the SQL*Server 2008 database then the DSN should use an ODBC driver that can connect to a SQL*Server 2008 database. If you still use the initTelemetryDB1.ora file for the connection then the TelemetryDB1 DSN should be configured to access the SQL*Server 2008 database.
However, there are a couple of problems with your actual setup -
- the configuration you have - 10.2 RDBMS on a Sun machine and HSODBC on Windows - is not supported. HSODBC should only be used from a RDBMS that is in the same ORACLE_HOME as HSODBC.
- 10.2 HSODBC is now desupported and has been replaced by the 11g Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) and the configuration you want is supported. That is because unlike HSODBC the DG4ODBC gateway can be installed standalone with a RDBMS being installed.
I recommend that you download and install 11.20.2 DG4ODBC on your Windows machine in a new Oracle_home and access that from the 10.2 RDBMS on Sun - which is a supported configuration. But to do this, you will need to apply either the 10.2.0.4 or 10.2.0.5 patchset to your RDBMS.
There is more information in the following note available on My Oracle Support (MOS) -
Note.1083703.1 Master Note for Oracle Gateway Products
The 11.2.0.2 DG4ODBC can be downloaded from MOS as patch and for the gateways on Windows 32-bit you just need to download -
p10098816_112020_platform_4of6.zip
However, to check the HSODBC ou need to confirm that the DSN used by HSODBC points to a System DSN configured to access SQL*Server 2008.
Have a look at -
Note 109730.1 How to setup generic connectivity (HSODBC) for Windows NT
But remember this is not a supported version or configuration and you should be using Dg4ODBC.

Mike

How to create database link between oracle and SQL Server

Hello Everyone,
Here i have Oracle Database 9i and SQL Server 2005 databases.
I have some tables in sql server db and i want to access from Oracle.
How to create a database link between these two servers
Thanks,

Thanks for Everyone,
I was struggle with this almost 10 days....
I created Database link from Oracle to SQL Server
Now it is fine.........
Here i am giving my servers configuration and proceedure how i created the db link...@
Using Generic Connectivity (HSODBC) we can create db link between Oracle and SQL server.
Machine (1)
DB Version : Oracle 9.2.0.7.0
Operating System : HP-UX Itanuim 64 11.23
IP : 192.168.0.31
Host : abcdbt
Machine (2)
Version : SQL Server 2005
Operating System : Windows server 2003 x86
IP : 192.168.0.175
Host : SQLDEV1
User/PW : sa/abc@123! (Connect to database)
Database : SQLTEST (exsisting)
Table : T (“ T “ is the table existing in SQLTEST database with 10 rows)
Prerequisites in Machine (2):
a)     Oracle 10g software
b)     User account to access SQL Server database (sa/abc@123!)
c)     Existing SQL Server Database (SQLTEST)
d) Tables (testing purpose) (T)
Steps:
1)     Install Oracle 10.2.0.1 (Only SW,No need of database) *(Machine 2)*
2)     Create a DSN where your windows Oracle 10g SW resides *(Machine 2)*
Control panel >> Administrative Tools >> Data Source (ODBC) >> System DSN ADD
You can follow this link also.....
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/oracle/article.php/3442661/Making-a-Connection-from-Oracle-to-SQL-Server.htm
I created DSN as
DSN name : SQLTEST
User : SA/abc@123! (Existing user account)
Host : 192.168.0.175 (machine 2)
Already I have 1 database in SQL Server with the name SQLTEST
You can create DSN with different name also (not same as db name also)
3)     Create a hsodbc init file in $ORACLE_HOME\hs\admin *(Machine 2)*
Create init<DSN NAME> file
Ex: initSQLTEST
Copy inithsodbc to initSQLTEST
And edit
initSQLTEST file
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = SQLTEST    <DSN NAME>*
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = OFF*
save the file....@
4)     Configure Listener.ora *(Machine 2)*
LISTENER_NEW =

SQLTEST11 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.175)(PORT = 1525))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = SQLTEST))
(HS=OK)
:> tnsping SQLTEST11
If No errors then conti….
6)     Configure a file *(Machine 1)*
Cd $TNS_ADMIN ($ORACLE_HOME/network/admin)
Create a file
$ vi TEST_abcdbt_ifile.ora
something=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST =192.168.0.175) (PORT=1525))

How can I connect to Oracle and SQL server at the same time?

I have been trying to find a way to connect to Oracle Database through the developer 2000 and SQL server at the same time. I need to return some data from Oracle Database and some from the Sql Server Database. And update both through SQL. I find there is such a thing as the Oracle Transparent Gateway for SQL server. I can't find it on any of my CD's or through OTN downloadable files. If anyone can point me where to get this. Or tell of another way this can be accomplished I would appreciate it. TIA.

As far as I know you have 3 options depending on your specifications. I don't think option #3 will work if you need to actually join a
SQL Server table to an Oracle table.
1. Oracle Transparent Gateway. I haven't used the Oracle Transparent Gateway but my understanding is that Oracle gateways are
separate purchased products from Oracle. I've never seen any free/development versions of it anywhere. You'll need to contact
your Oracle sales rep about it.
2. Heterogeneous Connectivity. There's something called Heterogeneous Connectivity that could work for you - depends on what
version of Oracle you're on and what OS. You basically set up an ODBC data source on the Oracle server and modify the listener.ora
and tnsnames.ora files. You can then create a database link to SQL Server just like you would to any other Oracle database. You can
check your Oracle documentation for how this works. There's also some very good documents on Metalink that tell you how to do this
as well as a Heterogeneous Connectivity forum on this site.
3. Use the exec_sql package available in Developer 2000. This allows you to open and execute cursors to remote databases within
Developer. We have an account validation process that uses this - when a person enters an account number in a form while logged
into Oracle it validates the account is valid in our main accounting DB2 database. We also pull HR information from DB2 into Oracle
this way. If you're using Forms 6i exec_sql is a built-in command, in Forms 5.0 and 5.5 you have to add it as an attached library to
the form. I think you also need the OCA options installed from the Developer software to have access to the library in Forms 5.0 and
5.5. The library will be in the $ORACLE_HOME\oca20\plsqllib directory for these versions. The Developer documentation should have
additional information.

USING INDEX
TABLESPACE USERS
TABLESPACE USERS;

WHERE gzp_id IN (
SELECT MAX (z.gzp_id) zzz
FROM gzp_plan z
START WITH z.gzp_id = xxx.gzp_id
CONNECT BY PRIOR gzp_id = parent_gzp_id);
-- query
select a.* from GZP_WB a where gzp_id in (select gzp_id1 from vw_gzp);
Result in Oracle 10.2. (Windows Server 2003 32-bit, Oracle 10.2.0.2 or Oracle 10.2.0.5, Enterprise Edition)
OBJECTID GZP_ID
*1 1*
Result in Oracle 11.2 (Windows Server 2008 64-bit, Oralcle 11.2.0.2, Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition One)
no rows selected
The result of the following queries are identical in Oracle 10.2 and 11.2
SQL> select * from GZP_WB where to_char(gzp_id) in
2 (select to_char(gzp_id1) from vw_gzp);
OBJECTID GZP_ID
1 1
SQL>
SQL> select a.* from GZP_WB a, vw_gzp b where a.gzp_id=b.gzp_id1;
OBJECTID GZP_ID
1 1

The solution is Oracle 11.2.0.3 - patchset released 11th November.

Question about transfer between oracle and sql server

Could i program to transfer lots of data between Oracle and SQL Server quickly?
I have tried make two connection between two databases, but it took me lots of time to transfer data.
How could I do it?
Thanks

Hi,
If you need to move data fast, then use the Oracle Migration Workbench to Generate SQL Server BCP data extraction scripts and Oracle SQL Loader files.
This is the fastest way to migrate the data.
In the Oracle Model UI tab of the Oracle Migration Workbench, right mouse click on the tables folder. there is a menu option to 'Generate SQL Loader ...' scripts. This will help you migrate your data efficiently.

Sorting differences between Oracle and SQL Server

Hello All,
This question is related to both Oracle and SQL Server
I have a requirement where I want to compare 2 tables line by line. One table is in Oracle and other table is in SQL Server
And suppose that both of the tables don't have a primary key. Now when I sort the records using order by clause for a column then -
Rows having null values in that column of Oracle are placed at the bottom.
Where as Rows having null values in the same column of SQL Server are placed right at the top.
How can I make either of them to behave like other.
My sole aim is to have same order of occurrence of rows in both Oracle and SQL Server tables so that I can compare them line by line.

For example :
select * from emp order by comm;
So all null value in comm column are at the end.
Now if you wish to get them on the top of select output then :
SELECT EMPNO,ENAME,JOB,MGR,HIREDATE,SAL,NVL(COMM,0) COMM,DEPTNO FROM EMP ORDER BY COMM;
Means i am using NVL (oracle function) function. If comm column is having null value it will converted to zero value at the time of exectuion of select query.
So, now comm column is having zero value in select output and SQL Server is having nulls at the top. I do'nt know who to make nulls to zero in SQL Server. So issue solved.

Transfering information between Oracle 8 and SQL Server 2000

I want to transfer some of the data stored in 4 different tables in my Oracle database and easy as possible to my SQL Server 2000 database. I found the import option in SQL2k which uses ODBCconnection to the Oracle but it needs the migration suit as far as I know. At the downloadarea there are only plug-ins for SQL Server 7 but not 2000.
Am I even on the right track or is there any other way of accomplishing this?

is there any known problem if I install Oracle 10g EE
on the same machine where Sql Server 2000 EE is
install?It's presently undocumented, but some of the ORACLE.EXE process threads are known to get stuck in an infinite loop whenever a SQL Server database is running on the same box. The infinite loops cause the SQL Server database to eventually shutdown, and then the loops are broken and Oracle returns to normal. Stack traces have revealed something like this, which would suggest that the Oracle process is actually communicating with SQL Server:
Oracle: laughAtGirlieDatabase() /* infinite loop */
SQL: exit();-)
