Oracle Database 10g or Oracle 10g Express Edition

Hi Friends,
I have worked on Oracle 9i but now I would like to work on Oracle 10g but confuse because there are more option for download.Which one should I go for?
Oracle Database 10g or Oracle 10g Express Edition ?
Or Any other option.
Any Suggestion are welcome.
KarTiK.

It all depends on what exactly you are planning to use oracle for. Depending on the version, there may be found or not some features, you can see it this way:
EE > SE > XE
EE is a superset of SE and SE is a superset of XE. So you will find several limitation on the XE edition.
However, even though XE is a very limited version, it cannot be underestimated, it can be used for Spatial Data projects, it works with spatial data locator, and there are several guides that show how to use it with PHP so you can start a web site. WebPLSQL is included with it, so the only limit is your creativity.
This version can be very useful, and you can make the most of it, you may be interested in reading this article Oracle Database 10g Express Edition: Not Just for Learners
by Lewis Cunningham.
The XE edition is free. So you can use it without license fees and is the best suitable tool for learning, it is easy to install and setup. You can have a fully functional XE database out of the box. Once you feel more comfortable with oracle technology you can start thinking about taking the next step to a SE or EE edition.

How to connect to oracle database from visual basic 2010 express edition

I have installed visual basic 2010 express edition on windows xp. But visual basic 2010 express edition supports Microsoft sql server database file,Microsoft sql server compact 3.5, Microsoft access database file. I want to connect to oracle database from visual basic 2010 express edition. So what drivers are required and how to do connectivity?

Hello,
I wasn't clear on what you were using to make the connection. I had a look in Visual Studio 2010 (don't have express to test sorry).
I think you mean the Data Sources available under the menu Data-> Datasources. this seems to match the description you give when I
look at the list of datasource options.
In here you can make ODBC connections via the Microsoft .net Data Provider .
If you select ODBC as a datasource you can see listed the DSN's you created - for example I see 2 which use the Oracle ODBC driver.
This assumes you installed an Oracle Client + the oracle version of the ODBC driver (comes with the oracle client).
Once you created a server connection then you should see it in the server explorer.
You can also download the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio which is an add on for VS.
** I suspect this is only for VS 2010 and I didn't see that Express was supported.

Let me know if that helps.

Installation error message for Oracle Database software for version 10g

Would someone be able to advise why I keep getting the following error message whilst installing Oracle trial Database software for version 10g Release 2 Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition? Link listed below : -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html
Error message "Cannot create directory"C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_7\cfgtoollogs\dbca\projemp"
Below is the 12 steps that I go through, please advise what I'm doing wrong : -
1. (Operations) default is Create a database
2. (Database templetes) default is general purpose
3. (Database Identification) projemp.local for Global database name & projemp for SID
4. (Management options) default is "Configure the database with Enterprise manager, also the options button has been clicked for "Use database control for database management"
5. (Database Credentials) the options button has been clicked for "Use the same password for all accounts" so I've set up a new password, was that correct?
6. (Storage options) the options button is clicked for "File System - use the file system for database storage.
7. (Database file locations) the options button is clicked for "Use database file locations for template" Is this option correct? Other options are Use common location for all database files or use Oracle-managed files?
8. (Recovery configuration) the options button is clicked for "Specify flash recovery area
9. (Database content) nothing has been selected, the only option is "Sample schemas" should that be clicked?
10. (Initialization parameters) the options button is clicked for "Typical- allocate memory as a % of the total physical memory
11. (Database storage) no options available
12. (Creation options) the options button has been selected for "Create Database"
Click finish
I then get a screen stating General purpose, click OK then I get the following error message as stated at the start of this e-mail ""Cannot create directory"C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_7\cfgtoollogs\dbca\projemp".

I've removed the software from my computer using control panel, programs & features then uninstall once but the other five times the software hasn't been listed. Whilst the Oracle was on my task bar I was able to install using Start > Programs > Oracle - HOME-NAME > Database Administration > Database Configuration Assistant.No you didn't. Database Configuration Assistant does not remove software. It can remove a database. As I mentioned before, there is a difference between the software and the objects that software manages. Deleting an Excel spreadsheet is not the same as deleting Microsoft Office. Deleting an Oracle database with Database configuration assistant is not the same as removing the Oracle software.

Now that oracle is not on my task bar I've unzipped the link below, clicked on db, Disk1, setup, changed the Database password (is that correct?) install and I get the following error message "Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed<<<<<
Problem: The install has detected that the primary IP address of the system is DHCP-assigned.
Recommendation: Oracle supports installations on systems with DHCP-assigned IP addresses;
However, before you can do this, you must configure the Microsoft LoopBack Adaptor to be the primary network adapter on the system. See the installation Guide for more details on installing the software on systems configured with DHCP."
So what did you do with the above error message? Did you follow up on what it said? Did you read the very fine Installation Guide that comes with the software? Did you read the section on networking considerations where it discussed DHCP assigned addresses and installing the loopback adapter?
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html
Ok, that link takes us to the download page, which does not shed any light at all on your problems
I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium, 32 bit operating system, and my computer is saying I have 142 GB free space.
If you read the installation manual that came with the downloaded software, you'd have seen in the prerequisites that Home editions of Windows are NOT listed as supported platforms, whereas Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions specifically ARE listed as supportd.
Hope this is some help.And
I'm not to clever on computers so would you be able to advise how I get to the command window to issue the SET command please?
Also I've no idea what OS user I am, I'm taking an on-line Oracle course and been advised to install "Oracle Database software for version 10g Release 2 Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition"
How do I find out if I'm part of an Administrator, ORA_DBA group ?
Can you walk me through how to create the directory from command line please?Ok, given the above statements from you, I'm not even sure where to begin. I don't want to be cruel, but this self-admitted lack of even the most rudimentary knowledge by someone attempting to learn about Oracle is truly astounding. What course are you taking? Why are you taking this course?

How can we clone the Oracle database in new Oracle Home

Hi,
I would like to clone oracle database into new oracle home. How can we set it using OEM.
I am using 10g grid control. Target db is on solaris
Thanks
Naveen

after logging into target database, under maintenance tab, data movement header; ther is "clone database" option. When you click on it; you'll see :
Clone Database uses RMAN to duplicate a database from:
-- An open database in ARCHIVELOG mode, or
-- An open database in NOARCHIVELOG mode (restart required), or
-- A saved working directory from previous cloning
Clone Database performs the following operations:
-- Backup each database file and store it in a working directory
-- Transfer each backup file from source to destination host
-- Restore each backup file to existing destination Oracle Home
-- Recover the cloned database with saved archived log files
-- Open the cloned database with resetlogs
It seems to be for cloning to a different host, but i guess you can chose the same host for source and destination. (I've never used cloning on em by the way :))
But firstly, you should create a new oracle home, you can simply copy your oracle home with a new name (cp -R /oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0 /oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0.new) or make a new installation.
I suggest you to do this cloning with CLI. You should take a full backup with RMAN, copy the oracle home, create a new initNEWSID.ora file and nomount the database, restore (or simply copy) controlfiles, restore database (with set newname commands), recover database, open resetlogs.

How to mounted oracle database automatically in oracle version 8.1.7?

i want to know,how to mounted oracle database automatically in oracle version 8.1.7?

Does this mean you are not using the WIndows operating system, or you doi not want to do this 'manually' using some point and click method?
If this means, "do it automatically for reboots" and you are using the Windows OS, you need to set up a service and set it to automatic at reboot. Or, again in a Windows environment but at commnand line, use "net start {service name}" - as described in the manual.

Connect to an Oracle database by using oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver: error

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to an Oracle database so we can retrieve notes of tables, views and packages.
By using the API of Data Modeler (transformation script) we want to add these notes to corresponding objects in Data Modeler.
I'm starting with this:
importPackage(java.lang);
importPackage(java.awt);
importPackage(java.sql);
java.lang.Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");
An error occurs when I run this code:
It has to be a Java thing...
Anyone a suggestion?

Problem solved! One of my colleagues referred to this post: Import user defined properties from Oracle Designer
More in detail: it's about this couple of lines:
// Copy the ojdbc6.jar file to ..\datamodeler-home\jlib directory
// Add this line to datamodeler.conf
// AddJavaLibFile ../../jlib/ojdbc6.jar
I changed my datamodeler.conf file, restarted DM and now there's no longer an error when I am trying to use the Oracle JDBC drive.

Hadoop Implementation in Oracle Database without Exadata/Oracle hardware

All,
Please does anyone know if Oracle plans to implement hadoop without Oracle supplied hardware (Exadata and the like). The reason I'm asking is that at my company, we are now approaching a transation rate of 2000 t/s (transactions per second) and developers are beginning to complain about how slow Oracle is. They've gone ahead to move parts of the database to Cassandra, Redis and DynamoDB (and they're currently experimenting with MungoDB). I understand that some of these DBs operate a key/value system and so it's fast to retrieve data from them. I'm just wondering if Oracle plans to stem this tide by implementing Hadoop without packaging it with a hardware system so as to make it more affordable to implement as there are so many open source DB springing up theses days.
Please any useful information would be highly appreciated. (And if there's anyone out there close enough to Oracle, please, let them know these threats are real and my Oracle database is actually vanishing under me).
Thanks in advance.
Baffy

I don't have any more insight into Oracle's future with Hadoop other than what they have said in their statements of direction.
However, it struck me that you consider 2000 tps (or so) to be some kind of threshold above which Oracle technology will have trouble keeping up.
developers are beginning to complain about how slow Oracle isNo. It's not Oracle that is slow. Actually they are beginning to complain about how slow that particular system is performing. The application may be slow, and the database may be the bottleneck. But this does not mean that moving away from Oracle is necessarily the right solution.
Granted, there are excellent innovations in database technology right now, especially in the arena of massively parallel database systems. However, I would want to take a long look at the system design, from hardware to database design to application code before concluding that the dbms needs to change. There could be storage i/o sub system issues or application server issues or network problems too.
I am sorry if I am just regurgitating things you probably already know, and likely have analyzed to death with your system. But Oracle can scale well beyond 2000 tps while still serving up good response times. And it is also important to note that moving to these other database technologies sometimes comes with the need to sacrifice some part of the ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability) properties of transaction management present in a typical RDBMS like Oracle.I have told this story in a few other threads on this forum over the years, but it bears repeating for the OP.
Several years ago (more than I like to think about now) we were evaluating some commercial software for a specialized app in the industry in which I was working at the time. The sales team for one particular vendor kept talking about SQL Sever. I reminded him we were an Oracle shop and asked if their product would run on Oracle. His response was something to the effect that "It will, but we recommend SQL Server because we've found that Oracle bogs down with more than five concurrent connections." The meeting didn't last much longer and I made sure that vendor didn't make the short list. And the lesson is that even commercial software developers (or perhaps especially commecial software developers?) often don't have a clue ...
I'd guess the OP's developers also don't have a clue. Perhaps they are writing their apps to Oracle using what they learned as 'best practice' in SQL Server. Or perhaps they are even more clueless than that and the need to design for scalability and performance never even enters their minds.

How we restore the database dmp file in Oracle10g express edition

please provide me answers as soon as possible...my database is fresh and i want to restore the dmp file in my database, that dmp file is exported by oracle 10g database on other machine.

there is no impdb or expdb command. There is an imp (for import) and exp (for export).
I assume you want to replace the existing database with the one on your laptop.
A much better and more efficient way to do this would be to backup the database on your home machine and then restore it to your office database.
but before you do anything, backup the database you are copying/importing to (backup option is available on the windows menu or its a batch or shell script in the appropriate directory)

Calling a java class in my oracle database from a oracle stored procedure

my oracle stored procedure is:

it is valid and so is this java class;
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.*;
public class pdfopenbook //class pdfopen
public static void mainbook(String args[]) //main function
try //try statement
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + "c:\\temp
final_book.pdf");
// Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + "sol.exe");
} catch (Exception e) //catch any exceptions here
System.out.println("Error" + e ); //print the error
but i get the error:
onnecting to the database caprs.
ORA-29531: no method mainbook in class pdfopenbook
ORA-06512: at "CAPRS.OPENPDFFILE", line 1
ORA-06512: at line 2
Process exited.
Disconnecting from the database caprs.
it says there is no mainbook method but there is, what am i doing wrong??
Thanks,

Pass String[] as an argument to mainbook():
create or replace PROCEDURE openpdffile

Learning Oracle Database will help Oracle programming

Dear All , Hi
did learning Oracle9i Database help in better understanding of Oracle Programming? pls. reply. i thank you all
regards,
Khalil

Hi Khalil,
Not sure what programming language you want to learn about.
If you are referring to sql and pl/sql Oracle 9i would serve you fine.
If you are referring to Oracle Data Mining APIs (java in particular), I would just note that they have changed significantly but you could still learn from using them.
Thanks, Mark

Installing Oracle Database 11g from Oracle download page

Where is the option of selecting the required edition of the Database? It wasn't obvious (to me) and although I wanted the Standard edition, even by de-selecting the Enterprise modules, I seem to have installed the Enterprise edition.
Thanks,
Alison

You choose the edition (Enterprise, STandard, STandard 1, Personal) from the one install.
So download THE database, and choose the correct edition during the install

1) which Linux(freeware) flavor should I install ?Ordinarily, I'd recommend getting Oracle Linux (http://eDelivery.oracle.com/linux) because the default install includes all the prerequisite RPM packages you will need. And failing that, also offers another RPM package "oracle-validated" which will cause the installation of the necessary prerequisites.
But... you mentioned customer: if this is a revenue-producing situation and customer money is at stake, I strongly recommend they obtain commercial O/S support with either Oracle, Red Hat, or maybe SuSE/Novell. Compared to the cost of a downed business, an O/S support arrangement is cheap, cheap, cheap.
2) is there any virtual enviornment available for Linux Os on which I can install 10g Express Edition database ?Sure. You can run Oracle VirtualBox on most Linux, Windows, or Solaris boxes. http://VirtualBox.org for info.
3) If available, is there any difference in using the Linux Os in Virtual enviornment and actual installing Linux ? will there be any difference in installing database and configuration for both the cases?No real differences in either environment.
4) need download link for latest version of Red Hat Linux setupWhat, you didn't try http://eDelivery.oracle.com/linux yet?

Oracle 10G Express Edition No Oracle Spatial

I have been test driving 10G Express Edition. I tried to create our schema in it only to find that the mdsys.sdo_geometry datatype is unknown. It looks like Oracle Spatial is not part of Express Edition. Can anyone confirm?
SEVERE: Unsuccessful: create table ASSET_REFERENCE (ASSET_REFERENCE_ID number(19,0) not null, ASSET_NAME varchar2(256 char), ASSET_URI varchar2(256 char), SPATIAL_EXTENT mdsys.sdo_geometry, START_DATE timestamp, END_DATE timestamp, COORD_SYS_WKS varchar2(256 char), primary key (ASSET_REFERENCE_ID))
[hibernatetool] Nov 21, 2005 7:56:50 PM org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport create
[hibernatetool] SEVERE: ORA-00902: invalid datatype

Oracle Spatial is an option for Enterprise Edition. It is not even available for Standard Edition and Express Edition is a subset of Standard Edition
Related - interMedia requires Java and that is not in Express. Although the Locator subset does not use Java, it is part of interMedia and therefore is also not in Express.
We are asking Oracle to reconsider and add Locator, and possibly add Java as a post-install option.

Pro*Cobol for Oracle 10g Express Edition is available?

Hi to all, this is my first post here.
I evaluating Cobol to Oracle products and I have find one it´s more
We installed Oracle 10g Express Edition (Server and Client), to test compatibility of a Cobol product.
This product requires the "rtsora" component, from Pro*Cobol, but we didn´t find it in any place in the instalation packages.
The documentation show the precompilers to be at $ORACLE_HOME/precomp but there is only two folders (admin and lib) with "ottcfg" files. Nothing more
Searching this and anothers foruns, I became to think if the precompilers facilities, like Pro*Cobol, may be available to the 10g Express Edition for Linux, OR, if this is a feature available only to the Standart Editions (or Windows)?
The instalation and users manuals appears to don´t distinguish the 10g standart from the Express Edition. Also, the Express Edition doesn´t ask for any kind of "customization oprtions" as I read about in another topics.
Edited:
1 - We are using this on Linux Ubuntu.
2 - The Windows 10g Express Edition appears to be more complete, but I need to run this on Express Edition.
Thanks in advance!
(sorry bad english)

There is no official communication on 11G express edition release date .
You will have to wait and watch Oracle Official website for that .
