Oracle 9i and Database Release 2

Hi,
I was wondering if anybody knows approximately when the Oracle
9i Database Release 2 (w/ XDB) is said to be available. Also, I
was wondering how it will be available, such as a download
(patch), the whole product or some other way.
If possible, can you tell me if it is worth upgrading to 9i now
or wait until a little later?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Nikhil Kulkarni

Oracle 9.2.0 does not support connectivity to Oracle 7 databases. The newest version you can use to connect to Oracle 7 is Oracle 9.0.1.
See MetaLink Note 207319.1 ALERT: Connections from Oracle 9.2 to Oracle7 are Not Supported

How to downgrade Oracle Forms and Reports Release 2 ?

Hi all,
I would like to ask what is the step to downgrade Oracle Forms and Reports Release 2 to Oracle Forms and Reports Release 1 ?
Thanks.

Hi,
There is no such process of rollback the patchset.
If you have a backup of the Forms and Reports Release 1 , restore it back.
Thanks,

Connect to different Oracle server and database in PL/SQL code

Hi,
There are two oracle servers and databese, A and B. I need to read data from database A and insert those data to databse B. Is there anyway I can do it in PL/SQL program?
Regards,
Shiva

In a SQL*Plus session, [connect string] is generally a TNS alias (i.e. in the command "connect scott/tiger@orcl", orcl is a TNS alias). I don't know if it is possible in some release to have a fully qualifies TNS entry (i.e. connect scott/tiger@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(...)) ), but it is certainly uncommon. Depending on the version of Oracle, there are various ways to configure a client to resolve a TNS alias, but local naming is the most common, so I'll assume that is what you're using...
If you are trying to query a remote database, you would either have to
- Create a database link (i.e. CREATE DATABASE LINK db_link_name ...) and refer to the database link name in your SQL statement
- Embed the full TNS entry in your query (i.e. SELECT * FROM emp@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=( .. .)) )
If you choose to create the database link, one of the things you have to specify is the TNS alias (or the fully qualified TNS entry). If you specify a TNS alias there, you would generally have to ensure that the TNS alias existed in the tnsnames.ora file on the database server where the database link is created.

Difference between Oracle 7 and later releases

Hi All,
What are the major differences in oracle 7 and lets say oracle 9i?
I have heard that version 7 did not have all the constraints. Is that true?
Naveen

You would have to look at the New Features section of the documentation to get a full list, but among the highlights of what is now available that was not in version 7:
All the object stuff
Analytic Functions
Materialized Views (AKA Snapshots)
Time Zone support
Cost Based Optimizer is hugely improved (In fact the whole SQL Engine seems faster).
Some of these came out in various version 8 releases, but to get the full list you need 9i. There is, or course much more.
In my opinion, the best reason to move off 7.x is support. Version 7 is no longer supported by Oracle. Version 8.1.7 is currently supported, but probably not for too much longer (1 -2 years?). Version 9 should be supported for some time.
If you are going to migrate anyway, you might as well go to the current release.

General questions on how to get started with Oracle OEPE and databases

My company has a server in the cloud, written using Ruby on Rails. The server is designed to work with a browser, so it communicates via standard HTTP.
The server has an SQL database.
The server sends and receives HTTP requests from clients, which are then used to either update the database or retrieve information from the database.
The database can be edited from a separate admin dashboard.
I have recently rewritten our client software as a native android app. The new app makes calls to the server that look like browser calls. I have used Eclipse to develop the Android app.
Sounds pretty standard so far, right? :-)
I now want to replace the Ruby on Rails server with a new Java server that I will write. I want to use Eclipse to develop the new server. During development, I want to be able to have the new Android app communicate with the development server software that will reside on my desktop.
So I was thinking that Oracle's tools might be perfect for me, if only I knew which tools to use. There are lot to choose from. :-)
I believe that all I need is OEPE and a database. I would like to keep it pretty simple. I don't want to learn 20 new tools. It will be enough effort to become proficient in OEPE and a database.
I looked at "Oracle Database Tools >> Connecting to an Oracle database" in the help files for OEPE 12.1.1. I tried going through the help files for Database connections, but I got to a "New Connection Profile" form that asks me for a SID, a user name, a password, etc. I don't have any of those. I tried to enter some data in the forms and ping the database, but I could not get any results from the ping. So my first question is: Do I have to sign up for an Oracle database in the cloud or is there a database contained within the OEPE software that I just installed. I will have to do the former anyway when I eventually deploy my new server software, so maybe the right thing to do is sign up for the "database in the cloud" service now, and use it during development.
The other question I have is about getting a simple application client and server application sample. I found a "hello world" example at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13224_01/wlw/docs103/guide/webapplications/workshopJSP/tutorialJSP/TutorialJSPMakeJSP.html, but that is for WLS 10.3 and it doesn't seem to match the 12.1.1 software very well.
So does anybody know where I can find a simple client and server sample program for WLS 12.1.1?
If I can get these two questions answered, I can start making some progress.
Thanks in advance to anybody who can help me navigate this minefield.
Jim

I wanted to add some information to my previous posting.
1. The server I will develop will communicate ONLY with Android and iOS native apps, so the interface will not be HTML or XML. The information sent by the server to the client will be JSON. The information sent by the client to the server will be HTTP parameters, usually in the form of URL-encoded form data. This is not a browser-to-server server interface, so JSP is probably not appropriate for the server. The communication protocol will be HTTP.
2. I don't need anything fancy on the server side. The server will simply be a Java program that emits JSON responses to the client and receives URL-encoded form data from the client. The server program will also make database queries and update the database.
3. I don't understand how my native Android app will be able to communicate with my development server code running on my desktop. I want that communication to be over the internet, but my desktop does not have a static IP address, so I don't see how the app will be able to address the development server software on my desktop PC. I don't want to deploy the server software into the cloud every time I start a debug run, but I don't see any other way for my app to be able to address the server code over the Internet.
If anybody has any ideas, I would appreciate hearing them.

What are the differences between Oracle AS and Database Server?

Hi
I have quesstions:
1- what are the main differnces between Oracle Application Server 10g and Oracle Database Server 10g ?
2- does the oracle J developer 10g come with Oracle application server or comes standalone?
3- is there any integration between the three above application , and how it are working together?
thanks
Suhaib

1) At its simplest level a Database Server is a database so for storing data and an application server is for running the applications (which will probably access the data in the database server).
2) JDeveloper comes stand alone or as part of the Oracle Developer Suite which is a collection of tools for building applications.
3) Yes they are integrated. More details on otn.oracle.com/products/ias

Oracle ASM and Database are coming up at the same time and running into ERR

We have Oracle 11G Grid Infrastructure and Oracle 10.2.0.4 running under grid user and oracle user.
Its AIX 61 LPAR.
I am running into this error when we do a reboot.
2010-07-22 19:21:48.581: [ RACG][1310] [667728][1310][ora.maksbx1.MAKSBX11.inst]: SQL> ORA-01565: error in identifying file '+MAKSBX01_DATA_DG1/maksbx1

This is from $ORACLE_HOME/log/srvrname/racg/init<instanace>.log
After the reboot, wait for 5 min and if I run this command
srvctl start database -d MAKSBX1 -- DB Comes up with out any error.
What this tells me is, after the reboot, CRS/ASM is coming up and at the same time DB is also trying to come up and resulting in error.
Question is:
Where can I put a sleep 90 or 180 so that DB will come only after ASM is completely up. We didn't write or create any startup scripts for AIX, what ever is there is coming from Oracle 11g Grid and ORacle 10g Database.
Can some one please point me where I can find those init scripts and where i should either put sleep or dependency so that they don't collide.

Hi,
please make sure that you have exported right SID
ORA-17503: ksfdopn:2 Failed to open file +MAKSBX01_DATA_DG1/maksbx1/spfileMAKSBX1.ora
echo $ORACLE_SIDand also export ORACLE_SID=+ASM1
$asmcmd
asmcmd> cd MAKSBX01_DATA_DG1
asmcmd> cd maksbx1
and check for spfileMAKSBX1.ora
ORA-17503: ksfdopn:string Failed to open file string
Cause: file open failed due to either insufficient OS permission or the name of file exceeds maximum file name length.
Thanks
So you are able to connect later using SRVCTL, hmmmm

Oracle Streams and Database Encryption

I am looking for encryption method for OLTP database.
Oracle Streams will be used to synchronize the data between source and remote database.
Business process wants all remote database to be fully encrypted.
What Can I use?
- TDE is not supported with Oracle Streams,
- I cant use DBMS_CRYPTO since it needs big Database modifications.
Any other Oracle supported techniques, or maybe Im gonna need to consider hardware encryption (like hard disk encryption) or OS level encryption.
Thanks,

TDE is not supported with LogMiner based technologies such as Streams, Data Guard (logical standby). Therefore you can not use TDE to replicated encrypted content. --You will get exception "Unsupported data type"
But, you might replicate decrypted data into encrypted destination. This means your destination might have TDE encrypted columns.
Unofficially Oracle will support TDE with logminer based technologies in the next database version 11.
I am waiting for this.
Regards,
Mike

Separate Oracle Software and Databases?

I need to install the Oracle application software to one disk volume, and allow Oracle to store it's databases on another distinct disk volume. I'm also doing this with a headless response file. I initially thought that the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_BASE settings in the response file may be what I need:
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
However, since ORACLE_HOME is a subdirectory of ORACLE_BASE, I can't mount both locations to different volumes.
How can I do this?

Shan,
In the same way you create user in any other oracle database. I recommned to check following Oracle Lite Sql reference document for creating user from command line.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19188_01/doc/B15917/sqcmd.htm#sthref487
or
sql> CREATE USER liteuser IDENTIFIED BY "litepassword"; -- And add required privs to the user.

"why the Psoft oracle DB and SID names should be in all upper case

Customer is having a Question like
"why the Psoft oracle DB and SID names should be in all upper case (according to the PsoftTools 8.50 Installation for Oracle manual)
why the Peopletools 8.5 install book states all Oracle SID and database names should be in UpperCase.
If we use lower case database name, would encounter any problems, what sort of problems?
i Observed that all the Installation manual for 8.49,50,51 States the Same for Creating of Data base !
Task 1-6-1: Determining Databases and Database Names
You should also determine the names of the
databases at this point, using database names that:
• Are limited to eight characters, all UPPERCASE.
• Capture information about the PeopleSoft product line and the type of database
Please suggest on this !
Thanks

Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control

Please help me.
Here's oracle installing step:
1. Install Oracle 11g software with "Advance" option. I just install software without creating a Data base at this time.
2. Create a Data base with DBCA
I couldn't see the Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control at "Services " window while
"Chapter 3: Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Manager" says that:
This chapter introduces you to Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control. The Oracle Universal Installer installs Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control when you install the Oracle software. Enterprise Manager Database Control provides a Web-based interface that you can use to manage your Oracle instance and database.
Thank in advance!

Hi,
You didn’t create a Database that’s why you don’t have Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control.
Create Database with DBCA and you will get an option “Configure database with Enterprise manager” (step 5).
At the end of DB creation you will get a link for Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control.
Browse the link to open EM Database control.
If you choose to create DB with Oracle installation then you will get Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control.
