Oracle 9i features

We are migrating to 9i from 8i. I need to write a write up what are the advantages, disadvantages and impacts when moving from 8i to 9i, so that we can take care of any precautions.
I need changes or impacts in the following
1) Snapshots/M-views
2) Discoverer query/administration
3) Form/reports
Is there any article on this.

tom kyte's http://asktom.oracle.com & oracle documentation (9i new features) would help you.

Sp2-0575: Use of oracle SQL feature not in sql 92 entry level.

Hi,
While logging to sqlplus I'm getting the following message
"sp2-0575: Use of oracle SQL feature not in sql 92 entry level."
and login is successful, but I'm not able to generate next value from the sequence .
t says no rows selected when i request
for nextval a
EX: select mySeq.nextval from dual; (mySeq is sequence)
Thanx,
Ravi.

What has happened is that someone has enabled the Oracle feature called as FIPS flagger.
This is a feature that Oracle provides to you if you plan to write SQL code that should be portable
to other RDBMS systems. IF you enable this flagger and use a feature which is not in the SQL standard,
Oracle will complain that use of this feature will make your application Oracle dependent, and you may not
be able to run this application against any other RDBMS.
To disable this for your SQL*Plus session do this:
SQL> set flagger off
SQL>
Once you do this it will allow you to use all SQL commands including Oracle specific extensions.

How to use all oracle text features under ifs?

i'd like to know that is possible to use a oracle text features like a Theme Capabilities to do a classification when documents its incoming.....

You will probably need to use dynamic SQL.
See the discussion at:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:::::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID:53140567326263
(while the question deals with SQLX, the answer is the same - Pro*C can't parse all SQL, but dynamic SQL is not parsed by Pro*C)

Oracle 10g features

Hi
Please provide some information on Oracle 10g features.
Thank you

Hi,
Are you looking for all features or new features??
For all features (in case you're new to Oracle), I guess you need to go through the Oracle Documentation for Oracle 10g [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/index.htm]
In case you're looking for new features, go to [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14214/toc.htm]
Thanks,

Is practising on Oracle OLAP features free with Oracle 11g EE?

Hi,
Is practising on Oracle OLAP features free with Oracle 11g EE??
Information found in Internet:
- Oracle Corporation markets the Oracle Database OLAP Option as an extra-cost option to supplement the "Enterprise Edition" of its database.
- Oracle Database OLAP is there pre-installed along with the rest of Oracle Database EE. You just need to license it for use on the DB Machine when you choose to use it.
- Oracle OLAP is a world class multidimensional analytic engine embedded in Oracle Database 11g.
Please confirm if I can try some OLAP features in my office where I have Oracle 11g EE installed as I have been asked to do an initial POC?
Regards,
Sudhir

Hi there,
I believe that the OLAP license falls under the developer license on OTN - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/testcontent/standard-license-088383.html
You should contact your local Oracle sales rep if you are still unsure
Thanks,

Oracle Directory feature

Hi,
We are migrating from standalone Oracle 8i to Oracle 11g RAC. In the 8i database our system uses the Oracle Directory feature. It uses this Directory feature as some files are FTPied and stored in the Oracle SYSTEM.
As we are migrating to Oracle 11g RAC(two node), how do we handle these Directory feature? Should we go for NAS as a shared storage or can we go for Oracle ASM Cluster file system or any other options?
Thanks!

I suppose the question is about Oracle Directory database object, ie 'CREATE DIRECTORY ...'
The shared storage is required if you want to use directories in the RAC, ie all nodes must see the mountpoint as a filesystem. Any shared storage technology can be used which allows simultaneous access to file system , it really depends what is already is implemented in your environment. For instance if NFS server is already there, then its quite easy to create a mountpoint (provided that drives are allocated)

Performance doubt: Manual tuning or Oracle tuning features?

Hi all,
I'm reading some docs regarding performance, and most of then mention and recommend the use of the Oracle tuning features, as SQL Access Advisor, SQL Performance Analyzer, SQL Tuning Sets and so on. What i want to know from the most experienced dbas here is if you use these performance features from Oracle, or if you prefer to perform tuning tasks "by hand"?. By hand i mean checking the explain plan, checking statistics, index seletivity, histograms and so on.
Thanks in advance.

Fabricio_Jorge wrote:
Another simple doubt/question: What would be your tuning strategy? For example, what a commonly do is:
1) Check the object statistics.Yes, make sure statistics are current. The tricky part is that I have heard enough stories (not seen this myself) about new stats messing up performance that I prefer to save off the old stats before generating new ones - just in case
2) Check if the columns used in the predicates are indexed, and if not, i check the seletivity of then to see if an index creation would be efficient.This is probably my most effective tuning technique. I check the selectivity but create the index anyway to see what happens with it in place. Sometimes even though a new index is created the optimizer won't use it, and in other cases the index does not help performance even when the optimizer uses it. Any changes must be carefully checked.
3) If it is possible, create a materialized view with the query rewrite feature.I use MVs, but as a later resort. I prefer instead to recode SQL if possible to get better results to avoid having yet another database object to keep track of. With luck the optimizer can use the automated query rewrite capability to avoid changing the original SQL.

4) If it is a RAC env, i try to increase the CACHE value of the sequencesI have not worked on many RAC environments and when I have did not have much to do with sequences. I did learn that select list inline views often perform poorly compared to equivalent queries using table joins (not specifically a RAC issue)
>
5) Check the Memory and Segment Advisors and hit ratios, taking the necessary procedures, if the advisors indicate so.I am not usually given privileges to use these tools. I have gotten good results from the SQL tuning advisor when I can use it but have seen it miss things so I prefer to manually analyze SQL.
>
6) After all of this, i would try to tune the query by rewriting it. I leave this as a last option because generally you must know the data/env of the company that you are allocated. If you don't know the env very well, you can make bad recommendations about a specific
query.Doing the rewrite is something I do earlier in the process due to the fact that I rarely get DBA privilege on my projects and don't get access to some of the tools you mentioned. I can (hopefully) control SQL so I focus on it. Sometimes I cannot control SQL and have to rely on materailzed views, indexes, and other environmental factors to help SQL run faster.
>
OBS: All of this is done in parallel with the Statspack/AWR report "on hand"AWR is a great tool to use for tuning. OEM (which I rarely get access to) is another.

HOW to use new Oracle 9i Features in Pro*C

Hi All,
I am an Pro*C developer. I tried using Oracle 9i Features like RIGHT OUTER JOIN, FULL OUTER JOIN, CASE ... etc inside proc program. But I am getting error while compiling it.
My sample code:
EXEC SQL DECLARE CARD_CUR CURSOR FOR

FROM EMP A FULL OUTER JOIN DEPT B
ON A.DEPT_NO = B.DEPT_NO;
EXEC SQL OPEN CARD_CUR;

Oracle 9i feature not available in Oracle 10g

The following query does work in Oracle 9.2.0.4 (and 9.2.0.5), but does not work in Oracle 10.1.0.3 (Linux)

The error message
ORA-29913: error in executing contains callout
ORA-15198: operation [contains with non-leaf node] is not yet available
indicates, that this feature is not yet available in Oracle 10.1.0.3
Does anybody know, when this feature is available in Oracle 10, too ? Already in 10.1.0.4 ? Or in Oracle 10g Release 2 ?
Thanks,

I assume you have Windows on the client. The "Drivers" page of the ODBC_DSA should list all installed drivers. You require:
name= Oracle ODBC Driver
version= 8.01.07.00 (or something similar)
company= Oracle Corporation DO NOT USE the Microsoft one.
If this does not show, then either it was not included in the Oracle Client installation or you have not rebooted after the Oracle Client installation; the ODBC driver is not visible until rebooted.

Oracle Objects - Feature not enabled

Hi,
When I am trying to create a new object
I am getting the following error:
ORA-00439: feature not enabled: Objects
How to enable this object feature
in Oracle8 Release 8.0.5.2.1 - Production
version?
Should I re-install Oracle?
Thanks in advance,
Satheesh.
null

Satheesh,
In 8.0 release, Objects option was a separate purchase. However, since 8.1.5, Objects has been a bundled feature in Standard edition. If I were you, I would upgrade to 8.1.7 or 9i to take advantage of Objects features.

Oracle 9i and oracle 10g features

Looking for some info/link which could help me in understanding the newer features in oracle 9i database and in 10g dbase.
Will be good to know the additional features which are in 10g release but not in 9i.

Go to the documentation.
Look for the book called 'New Features'. It's big, but it's only an overview.
When you find new features of interest, go to the manual for that feature and look in the area between he table of contents and Chapter 1 - the area titled 'New Features' - for more explanation.
Surprisingly, documentation can be useful - you get a lot less sarcasm and typos in the docco <g>
