Oracle 9i and Xeon MP 64bit processors

Is Oracle9i Compatible with Xeon MP 64bit processors? I read from a june 2005 post that they are not, but maybe that has changed, although I can't find any documentation or drivers which point to that.
Secondly, the Oracle 10g drivers. These work, and using net manager, I can connect to the database, however when SSIS 2005 connects to the database using this driver (OraOLEDB.Oracle.1) I get "driver not registered", or something similar to that.
Has anyone else had this problem and fixed it?

call oracle support
i think they will give u all answer

By the way, why restrict yourself to an earlier release when later ones are available?

Oracle optimizer and heterogeneous services (Transparent Gateway for ODBC)

Hi everyone!
We have the following configuration:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production.
Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC 11.2.0.2.0 on the same machine as Oracle DB.
Non-Oracle DB installed on a different hardware accessed through Oracle Gateway for ODBC via dblink.
Now, we have to query the remote non-Oracle system and retrieve some data. For the sake of brevity let's suppose we have the following table in our non-Oracle DB:
create table test (
     ip_address varchar(15),
     start_time datetime,
     end_time datetime
And we run the following SQL query against the remote table on our Oracle DB:
SELECT start_time,end_time,ip_address
FROM remote_table@db_link
WHERE
end_time >= to_date('2011-10-11 00:00:00','rrrr-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')
OR (
end_time IS NULL AND start_time >= to_date('2011-10-11 00:00:00','rrrr-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')
AND start_time <= to_date('2011-10-12 00:00:00','rrrr-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')
AND ip_address = '127.0.0.1';
But, having query monitoring on the remote DB enabled, we see that the actual query on the remote site looks like this:
SELECT "START_TIME","END_TIME","IP_ADDRESS"
FROM "REMOTE_TABLE"
WHERE "IP_ADDRESS"='127.0.0.1' AND "START_TIME"<=?
All references to END_TIME column are gone from WHERE clause for whatever reason.
However, Oracle execution plan shows us the following:
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time | Inst |IN-OUT|
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 27 | 200 (0)| 00:00:03 | | |
|* 1 | FILTER | | 1 | 27 | 200 (0)| 00:00:03 | | |
| 2 | REMOTE | REMOTE_TABLE | | | | | DB_LINK | R->S |
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
1 - filter("END_TIME">=TO_DATE('2011-10-11 00:00:00','rrrr-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') OR
"END_TIME" IS NULL AND "START_TIME">=TO_DATE('2011-10-11 00:00:00','rrrr-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss'))
Remote SQL Information (identified by operation id):
2 - SELECT "END_TIME","IP_ADDRESS","START_TIME" FROM "REMOTE_TABLE" WHERE
"IP_ADDRESS"='127.0.0.1' AND "START_TIME"<=:1 (accessing 'DB_LINK' )
This actually means that Oracle CBO decided that it will apply filter on END_TIME column after having retrieved the data from the remote site. We don't want this behaviour but have no idea how to affect execution plan in this case.
So, the question is: How can we force Oracle CBO to not change the initial query and pass it to the remote site "as is"? Is there any way we can achieve this goal?

Explanation & Example
What is a Transaction Processing Monitor?
=========================================
Under UNIX, a Transaction Processing Monitor (TPM) is a tool that coordinates
the flow of transaction requests between front-end client processes that issue
requests and back-end servers that process them. A TPM is used as
the "glue" to coordinate transactions that require the services of several
different types of back-end processes, such as application servers and
resource managers, possibly distributed over a network.
In a typical TPM environment, front-end client processes perform screen
handling and ask for services from back-end server processes via calls to the
TPM. The TPM then routes the requests to the appropriate back-end server
process or server processes, wherever they are located on the network. Through
configuration information, the TPM knows what services are available and where
they are located. Generally, the back-end server processes are specialized so
that each one handles one type of requested service. The TPM provides
location transparency as well and can send messages through the network
utilizing lower-level transport services such as TCP/IP or OSF DCE.
The back-end servers process the requests as necessary and
return the results back to the TP monitor. The TP monitor then routes
these results back to the original front-end client process.
A TPM is instrumental in the implementation of truly distributed processing.
Front-end clients and back-end processes have no knowledge of each
other. They operate as separate entities, and it is this concept that provides
flexibility in application development. Front-end and back-end processes are
developed in the UNIX client-server style, with each side optimized for its
particular task. Server functionality can be deployed in stages, which makes
it easy to add functionality as needed later in the product cycle. It also
makes it easy to distribute both the front-end and back-end processes
throughout the network on the most appropriate hardware for the job. In
addition, multiple back-end server processes of the same type might be
activated to handle increasing numbers of users.
What is the X/Open Distributed Transaction Processing Model?
============================================================
The X/Open Transaction Processing working group has been working
for several years to establish a standard architecture to implement
distributed transaction processing on open systems. In late 1991,
X/Open published the initial Distributed Transaction Processing (DTP)
model specification and defined the first of several interfaces that
exist between the components of the model. Subsequently, other publications
and a revised model specification have been published.
An important function of the TPM in the X/Open DTP model is the
synchronization of any commits and rollbacks that are required to complete
a distributed transaction request. The Transaction Manager (TM) portion
of the TPM is the entity responsible for ordering when distributed commits
and rollbacks will take place. Thus, if a distributed application program
is written to take advantage of the TM portion of the TPM, then it,
and not the DBMS, becomes responsible for enabling the two-phase commit
process. Article 2 has more detail on this model.
How does the Oracle Server work with TPMs?
==========================================
When a TPM is used without invoking an X/Open TM component to manage the
transactions, Oracle Server needs no special functionality. The transaction
will be managed by Oracle itself. However, when the TPM X/Open TM component
is used to manage the transaction, the Oracle Server, that is the Oracle DBMS,
acts as a Resource Manager--a type of back-end process. In the case of
TPM-managed transactions, the TM needs a way to tell the RMs about the stages
of the transaction. This is done by a standard, X/Open defined interface
called XA. Article 2 of of this document gives more information about both
the X/Open model and Oracle7's use of XA.
Because the XA interface provides a standard interface between the TM and the
resource manager, it follows that the TM can communicate with any XA-compliant
resource manager (e.g., RDBMS), and, conversely, that a resource manager can
communicate with any XA-compliant TM. Thus, the Oracle Server, beginning with
Oracle7, works with any XA-compliant TM.
How should I position TPMs with my customer?
============================================
There's been a great deal of confusion about the need for TPM technology. Some
software suppliers, most notably IBM, will assert that a TPM like CICS is a
necessary requirement for high volume OLTP. Other vendors will assert that
there is seldom a need for such technology. And yet others promote TPMs as
providers of higher transaction throughput.
From Oracle's standpoint, customers might choose TPM technology under any of
the following conditions:
1. For heterogeneous database access, especially for 2PC capability
     This means that a TPM can be used to coordinate 2PC between Oracle
     DBMS and any other XA-compliant database, such as Informix. This
     does NOT provide SQL heterogeneity - SQL calls to Oracle DBMS may be
     different than SQL calls to Informix. The TPM handles the routing,
     communication, and two-phase commit portion of the transaction, but
     does not translate one type of SQL call into another.
2. For transaction monitoring and workload control
     The leading TPMs supply tools to actively manage the flow of
     transactions between clients and servers and to load balance the work
     load across all available processors on a network, not just on a
     single multi-processor system. Some TPMs also have the ability to
     dynamically bring up additional back-end services during peak work
     hours.
3. For more flexible application development and installation
     One of the key features of the DTP model is application modularity.
     Modularity, that is, the decomposition of a large program into small,
     easily defined, coded and maintained "mini-programs" makes it easy to
     add new functionality as needed. Modularity also makes it much easier
     to distribute the front-end and back-end processes and the resource
     managers across hardware throughout a network.
4. For isolating the client from details of the data model
By using the service oriented programming model, the client program
     is unaware of the data model. The service can be recoded to use a
     different one with no change to the client. To get this advantage,
     the application developer must explicitly code the server and client
     to fit the service model.
5. For connection of thousands of users
     TP Monitors, because of their three-tier architecture, can be used
     to connect users to an intermediate machine or machines, removing
     the overhead of handling terminal connections from the machine
     actually running the database. See Article 4 for more information.
There are also several cases where TPM technology is not the right answer.
These include:
1. If the customer is simply looking for a performance improvement
     The customer may have heard a theory that "higher performance
     is possible for large scale applications only if they use a
     TP monitor". First, no performance gain can be achieved for
     existing applications; in fact, they won't even run under a TP
     Monitor without recoding. Second, performance improvements have
     only been documented for large numbers of users, and "large"
     means many hundreds or thousands. Without a TP Monitor,
     Oracle Server can handle several hundred users with its normal
     two-task architecture and several times that using the Multi
     Threaded Server. For more on performance, see Article 4.
2. If the customer has made large investment in his existing Oracle
applications
     TP monitor applications must be designed from the ground up to take
     advantage of TP monitor technology. Current Oracle customers will find
     it difficult to "retrofit" a TP monitor to their existing applications.
     The Multi Threaded Server, on the other hand, allows the use of
     existing Oracle applications without change.
3. If the customer is committed to the Oracle tool set
     Currently, none of Oracle's front-end tools (Oracle Forms, etc.) is
     designed to work with TP monitors. It is possible to invoke a
     TP Monitor by using user exits. However, the fact that the TP
     Monitor model hides the data model from the client means that only
     the screen display parts of Forms can be used, not the automatic
     mapping from screen blocks to tables.
4. If the customer does not have a staff of experienced software engineers
     This is still very young technology for UNIX. There is not a lot of
knowledge in the industry on how to build TP monitor applications or
what techniques are most useful and which are not. Furthermore,
     integrating products from different vendors, even with the support
     of standard interfaces, is more complex than deploying an integrated
     all-Oracle solution. Because TP monitor technology is fairly
     complex, we recommend that you let the TP monitor supplier promote
     the virtues of their technology and differentiate themselves from
     their competitors.
What Oracle products must a customer purchase?
==============================================
If your customer is only interested in building Oracle-managed TP Monitor
transactions, the only Oracle products required are the Oracle Server
and the appropriate Oracle precompiler for whatever language the
application is being written in--most likely C or Cobol. If TPM-managed
transactions are required, the Oracle7 Server with the distributed option
is also required. SQL*Net is optional because the TPM takes care of the
network services. Article 2 describes when you would choose to have the TP
Monitor manage the transactions.
Where can my customer purchase a TPM?
=====================================
There are many vendors offering the UNIX TPM products. (Oracle does not
relicense TPMs.) Information on the most well known products is provided
below:
The following support XA:

There are also several third parties who are reselling the products listed
above.
In addition, Groupe Bull, Digital, Siemens-Nixdorf, and several other hardware
vendors are planning to redesign their proprietary TPMs to be XA-compliant and
suitable for use on UNIX systems.
Availability and Packaging
==========================
On what platforms is the XA Library available?
Oracle provides the XA interface with Oracle7 Server on all platforms that
support an XA-compliant TPM. Support for XA is included as part of the
Oracle7 Server distributed option and has no extra charge in and of itself.
Which version of XA does Oracle Server support?
Oracle7 Server supports the Common Application Environment (CAE) version of
XA, based on the specification published by X/Open in late 1991. It will
require that the TM also be at that level. This means Tuxedo /T version 4.2,
for example.
Oracle Server supports all required XA functions. There are some optional
features Oracle Server does not support, such as asynchronous operation.
None of those options affect application programming.

Oracle Server Working with UNIX TP Monitors
===========================================
Do I need XA to use Oracle Server with TPMs? If I don't use it, what are
the consequences?
There are a number of real applications running today with Oracle Server and
TPMs but not using XA. To use a TPM with Oracle without using XA, the user
would write an "application server" program which could handle one or more
"services". For example, a server program might handle a service called
"debit_credit". The key requirement is that the entire transaction,
including the "commit work", must be executed within a single service. This
is the restriction which XA will remove, as we'll see later. Each
server process can serially handle requests on behalf of different clients.
Because a server process can handle many client processes, this can
reduce the total number of active processes on the server system,
thereby reducing resource requirements and possibly increasing overall
throughput.
When Oracle is used with a TPM in this mode, we call it an Oracle-managed
transaction since the transaction commit or rollback is done with a SQL
statement.
What is XA? How does XA help Oracle7 work with UNIX TPMs?
XA is an industry standard interface between a Transaction Manager and a
Resource Manager. A Resource Manager (RM) is an agent which
controls a shared, recoverable resource; such a resource can be
returned to a consistent state after a failure. For example, Oracle7 Server
is an RM and uses its redo log and undo segments to be able to do this.
A Transaction Manager (TM) manages a transaction including the
commitment protocol and, when necessary, the recovery after a failure.
Normally, Oracle Server acts as its own TM and manages its own commitment
and recovery. However, using a standards-based TM allows Oracle7 to
cooperate with other heterogeneous RMs in a single transaction.
The commonly used TPMs include a TM component for this purpose. In order to
use the TM capability of the TPM rather than Oracle7's own transaction
management, the application uses a transaction demarcation API (called TX)
provided by the TPM rather than the SQL transaction control statements (e.g.
"commit work"). For each TX call, the TM then instructs all RMs, by the
appropriate XA commands, to follow the two-phase commit protocol. We
call this a TPM-managed transaction.
The following picture shows these interfaces within a monolithic application
program model. This is the model most commonly described in the
DTP literature. We'll see later what the picture looks like when we add
Oracle7 and when we switch to a modularized client-server application
program model.

     | |--- | |
     | |<----------->| |
     ---------------------- XA --------------------
                    Interface
The XA interface is an interface between two system components, not
an application program interface; the application program does
not write XA calls nor need to know the details of this interface.
The TM cannot do transaction coordination without the assistance of
the RM; the XA interface is used to get that assistance.
How does the DTP Model support client-server?
The above picture was actually simplified to make it easier to explain
the role of XA. In a true distributed transaction architecture, there
are multiple applications, each with an Application Program, a Resource
Manager, and a Transaction Manager. The applications communicate by
using a Communication Resource Manager. The CRM is generally provided
as a component of the TPM. It includes the transaction information when
it sends messages between applications, so that both applications can
act of behalf of the same transaction. The following picture
illustrates this:

Most TP Monitor products include both a TM and a CRM, and also provide
additional functions such as task scheduling and workload monitoring.
What is XA+? What does Oracle need to do to comply with it?
XA+ is an interface that lets the X/Open model actually be distributed
because it allows a communication resource manager to tell a TM on the
server that a message from a client just came in for a particular
transaction. Oracle is not currently planning to provide an X/Open
communication resource manager, so we don't have any plans right now
to do XA+. Version 2 of the DTP model paper from X/Open describes it.
The status of the current XA+ specification is "snapshot".
When would I choose an Oracle-managed transaction vs a TPM-managed
transaction?
Oracle Server is very efficient at managing its own transactions. If
the TPM manages the transaction, in general some additional overhead
will be incurred.
The two main reasons a customer might prefer to use a TPM-managed
transaction are as follows:
(1) He may need to update RMs from different vendors. Experience so far
has been that the most common case is wanting to update both Oracle and
a TP Monitor managed resource such as a transactional queuing service
in the same transaction (see Article 3).
(2) He may want to use the model of having several different services in
a transaction, even to the same database. For example, the
"debit_credit" service could be split into a "debit" service and a
"credit" service. This is a very attractive model, but this type of
modularity does exact a performance penalty (see Article 4).
Can I get a version of XA to run on Oracle Server version 6?
No, the XA functionality uses two underlying mechanisms in the Oracle
Server which are not available in version 6: two-phase commit and
session switching. The upi calls for these functions do not not exist
in version 6.
When would I use XA vs Oracle7 to coordinate all-Oracle distributed
transactions?
Generally speaking, Oracle Server should be used to coordinate all-Oracle
distributed transactions. The main reason for using XA to coordinate
transactions would be that you want to use the TP Monitor service-oriented
architecture. That is, you would like to construct an application built of
services and service requests in order to benefit from the modularity and
workload control such an environment provides.
TP Monitor Application Architecture
===================================
What might a TP Monitor application look like?
Most TPM applications will consist of two more more programs, where
there are front-end client programs which request services and back-end
server programs which provide services. In this case, the TPM supplies an
additional capability which is transactional communication. The client
describes the boundaries of the transaction, through the use of the TX API,
and the TPM relays that transaction information to each requested service.
The overall application structure generally looks like the following in the
client-server model. The "TP Monitor Services" box is not necessarily a
process. It could be one or more processes, or just libraries coordinating
through shared memory. Each client process and server process could be on
a different machine. Normally, the application server processes would be
connected to their Oracle Server processes using the IPC driver; the TPM
would be used to deliver messages between application client processes on
one machine and application server processes on another. However, the
application server processes could also be connected with the standard
Oracle SQL*Net to shadow processes on different machines. This might be
useful if one of the databases was on a machine which did not support TPMs.

Application client programs might be written in C and be linked with
TPM libraries. Alternatively, they could use a screen painter product.
Application server programs would be written in Pro*C or Pro*COBOL and
be linked with TPM libraries, the normal Oracle7 user-side libraries
and libxa.a. The Oracle7 Server process is the regular Oracle7 executable.
More complicated application architectures can also be constructed. Most of
the TPMs allow a server to become a client of another service, so you can
involve additional servers.
Could I use Oracle7's Multi Threaded Server as the SQL*Net connection in the
previous picture?
Yes, but that will not be needed in many cases. For example, both
application server processes in the previous picture could talk to a
single Oracle7 Server process through the Multi Threaded Server in the
previous picture. However, since the TPM architecture typically reduces
the number of server processes, the reduction in processes using Multi
Threaded Server may be less significant than in an architecture without
TPMs. If the application will use database links, however, then MTS will
be required.
How do I write an Oracle TP Monitor application?
The actual API used to talk to the TPM varies between vendors, so you need
to get the documentation from the vendor. However, all have a way to
indicate where a transaction begins and ends and a way to send a request
and receive a response from a client to a server. Some use an RPC model,
some use a pseudo-RPC model, and some use a send/receive model. The TX API
described earlier is a subset of the TPM API as defined by each of
the TPM providers.
The client program and server program might look something like the
following examples. We h (such as Tuxedo's

Parallelism in oracle using only one dual-core processor

Hi, is usefull or could i use parallel execution in oracle using only one dual core processor?
Can someone explain me why?

Hi
To take advantage of parallel processing you need enough resources (mainly CPU and I/O). If you run serially and the bottleneck is the CPU, then parallel processing might help. On the contrary, if the bottleneck is located in the I/O sub-system, throwing more CPU to it would not make things better. So, it's a question of balance between the CPU and I/O resources you have.

There was a change in the definition for codes 0x80-0x9f in WE8ISO8859P1 and WE8ISO8859P15. In 9i those codes map to the Unicode default replacement character U+FFFD, which means they are considered undefined. In 11g, they are mapped to the corresponding Unicode control codes U+0081 - U+009F. CONVERT in your test changes each undefined code into the reversed question mark, which differs from the original and gets reported.

CreateEnvironment crash when using Oracle 12 and win32

I am just developing a program basically operates on Oracle database. My OS is win7 32-bit, and when I install oracle 11 and using occi, everything is fine.
But we want to use latest Oracle version if possible, so we installed Oracle 12 on a remote computer. I downloaded the instant client and use SQL developer to connect to remote database and it's fine. But when I copied the instant client files in my program and rebuilt, it kept saying run-time error. My code is like this:
#include "include\occi.h"
using namespace oracle::occi;
Environment *env = createEnvironment();
It kept saying createEnvironment raised a SQLException. I thought all files' version should be correct (if not, the linker would report error, which I saw when I firstly copy the dll files in Oracle server - they were 64bit version). Could it be a collision due to I already installed oracle 11? I tried delete the oracle services, exclude my local oracle11 directories in PATH and include the oracle 12 instant client directory, but it still didn't work. Or is it a simply compatible problem on 32-bit OS?
edit: 1. Someone say it's likely to be environment variable problem, what's needed in instant client mode other than PATH?
2. I looked at the official OCCI document again (though it's for Oracle 11) and noticed it said instant client requires 4 dlls, oraociei11.dll determines if you are operating in instant client mode. Since I didn't use instant client on Oracle 11 so I didn't copy this file...I tried copy oraociei12.dll to my program directory (along with oci.dll, oraocci12.dll) but it still didn't work
3. I wonder if I must pass some parameter to createEnvironment because I'm connecting to a remote server?

Not to respond to your question, but do you really think that "f" is a title for a thread to briefly describe your issue ?
Please, do a little effort and edit your post to make it more understandable for other members who are willing to help but do not get what "f" means.
Thank you,

Oracle 10g and internet connection

I recently installed a program which uses and installed the Oracle 10g database, but cannot run the database while I have an internet connection. If I disable my internet, I can run Oracle and my program. If I am connected to the internet and run the program it pops up this box:
DATABASE LOGIN FAILED
+... due to Oracle condition:+
ORA-12541: TNS:no listener
OK
When I click Ok, it pops up a new box with 2 tabs: one asking for me to:
Choose a (named database)
This installation stores data in a named Oracle database.
Since you may have several such databases, please select the name of
your desired database from the list below.
Note: If you are connecting to a local, single-user database, it may not have
a name, or its name may not work. In that case, you would need to choose
the entry "<<always use default>>".
There is a drop down box with 3 choices for the Database to use for this installation: XE, ORACLR_CONNECTION_DATA, and <<always use default>>
The other tab is:
Describe Privileged Account
For maintenance purposes, this system also needs the name and password of
a privileged Oracle user account. It uses this privileged account
only as needed, for various setup and maintenance tasks, such as
o     creating the application's user account,
o     providing it with storage space,
o     providing backup/restore services,
o     applying software updates.
Please enter the privileged account's name and password below.
If you do not know the account's name and password, please contact your
Oracle database administrator (DBA).
And it is asking for a user name and password. The Oracle help said that info should have been displayed somewhere during the Oracle installation process, but being as though I installed another program that did the Oracle, I don't think I ever saw it.
I think it may matter:
XP Pro SP 3
2.4 GHz processor
3 GB RAM
To summarize; is there a way to run the Oracle database and my internet connection?
Finally, I apologize for likely not providing all you would need to answer my question, I will provide anything else I can if it will help.
Thanks

Hi, thanks for the quick response.
I went through the steps in the loopback adapter installation link you provided and have added a loopback adapter. When I do the ipconfig/all I get the following for the loopback adapter:

This can be troublesome and awkward, but there are small subset of cases where this may right in some circumstances. And this answer is a little bit of a cheat really.
In general the earlier answers are better unless you have particular reasons.

How to access MYSQL from Oracle 10g and vice versa

I will like to know how do I create a database link between Oracle 10g and MYSQL database on windows. I have been saddled with responsibility of ensuring the communications between the 2 databases and I have searched everywhere on google, I could not find anywhere where this is explain explicitly and made work.
THank you

In general Oracle offers 2 different products to connect from an Oracle database to a MS SQL Server. The first product is for free and it is called
As DG4ODBC is a generic connectivity based on ODBC it allows you to connect to many foreign databases as long as you have a suitable ODBC driver.It for example allows you to read from text files but also connect to foreign databases like MS SQL Server or IBM DB2. Due to this wide variety of foreign data sources tha capabilities of DG4ODBC are very limited. It only supports a few Oracle functions that it can directly map to foreign database equivalents. All other functions will be post processed. Post processing means that ALL records from the foreign table(s) will be fetched into the Oracle database and the result is then processed locally - so depending on the amount of data stored in the foreign database it might take a while.
To be complete here some notes to follow up:
This Oracle support note describes possible options you have to connect to a foreign database:
Document 233876.1 Options for Connecting to Foreign Data Stores and Non-Oracle Databases - For example - DB2, SQL*Server, Sybase, Informix, Teradata, MySQL
So you see, to connect from Oracle to MySQL you need to use the Database gateway for ODBC release 11.2 (HSODBC which was shipped with 10g was desupported in march 2008).
The Database Gateway for ODBC 11.2 (=DG4ODBC) license is included in the Oracle database license and it allows you to connect with a suitable 3rd party ODBC driver to a foreign database.
For your MySQL connection you only need to download and configure the MySQL ODBC driver from the MySQL web site. Once you can connect with the ODBC driver you could then download and configure DG4ODBC.
As you didn't post on which platform your Oracle database is installed, here 2 notes for common platforms:
How to Configure DG4ODBC on 64bit Unix OS (Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX Itanium) to Connect to Non-Oracle (Doc ID 561033.1)
