Oracle Database Management Software

I'm curious about your opinions on database management packages. The first one being Grid Control, but also your opinions on Quest Spotlight, Central, etc & Symantec i3. And any other products that are used.
Our 10gR2 DBs operate on Solaris 9 (soon to be 10) and are used for Data Warehousing purposes. I'm looking for a suite of tools that can help us manage our OS, Storage & DB products, if such a suite exists. It seems like we spend most of the day fighting fires and we want to get out in front of those things before they become issues for our users.
Regards,
Rich

Oracle Enterprise Manager pretty well covers it all, and it comes free with the database. At 10g it becomes web based and comes in two flavors - dbcontrol for working with a single database (if you have multiple databases, each has its own dbcontrol) or Grid Control, which sets up a management server and provides a single point of control for all your databases.
From what I've seen (and I've worked a little bit with Spotlight and DBArtisan) everything else just re-arranges the eye-candy - for a price.

  • No Oracle database vault component found in Oracle database 10g software?

    No Oracle Database Vault component found in Oracle database 10g software. Where can I get the Oracle Database Vault software(10g)?

    Database Vault is not a include by default into the database server software. You have to install it in addition of the Database Server Software.
    You can download it from :
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database_vault/index.html
    Note, you need to have "Oracle Label Security" and "Oracle Enterprise Manager Console" previously installed in your ORACLE_HOME.

  • Oracle Database management and monitoring tools

    hello everyone.
    Could anyone offer any advice on Oracle database management tools ?
    looking for a 3rd party tool that would provide graphical representation on health and activity within Oracle databases.
    Any recommendations , or advice on what to avoid?
    Many thanks

    Thanks , have enterprise manager already.
    Really looking for tool that will email , sms alerts
    out as they happen.
    Ability to set threshold alerts.
    report creation of threshold data.
    that kind of thing etc.Since you want to pay extra for this capability, look at the Diagnostics Pack add-on for Enterprise Manager. It does what you ask. And makes it available both on Database Control and Grid Control view.
    And both Database Control and Grid Control are included in your SE/EE license.

  • Database management software

    Hi Dudes,
    Couldn't find any better forum than this to get an answer to my question. I am looking for a software where I can create and manage a database. The target is to record scientific journal's title, author, source, year published, keywords and so on. What would you recommend?
    Thanks for your support in advance.

    Szimi,
    I would suggest Filemaker Pro or Bento. Filemaker Pro is capable of operating on either a Windows or Mac platform, while Bento is limited to the Mac OS 10.5.
    I'm not sure how complicated your database will get, but Filemaker offers a powerful solution for databases of all sizes.

  • [Blog] Using VMware vROPs to monitor Oracle Database and WebLogic.  Management Pack for Oracle EM, Hyperic Plugins, or Both?

    This blog post provides a suggested methodology for helping users of VMware vROps/vCOps decide which of the existing solutions, the vROps Management Pack for Oracle EM and the VMware vROps Hyperic Plugins for Oracle, should be used to monitor their Oracle workloads.
    It’s been a nearly a year since VMware transferred the vCOps Adapter for Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) to Blue Medora and since that transfer Blue Medora has released a number of major updates as well as rebranded it the Blue Medora vROps Management Pack for Oracle EM. Over that same period of time VMware has continued to evolve their Oracle-focused (Oracle Database and WebLogic J2EE) Hyperic agent-based plugins culminating most recently with a October 2014 update to the Oracle Database plugin that provides support for Oracle Database 12c.

  • How to connect from SAP on DB2 for i5/OS to external oracle database

    Hello,
    I managed to retrieve data from an external DB2 for i5/OS database using ABAP Native SQL running on another i5/OS server.
    I also managed to retrieve data from an external oracle database using ABAP Native SQL running on another Windows/Oracle server.
    Now i want to use ABAP Native SQL running on an i5/OS and retrieve data from an external Oracle database?
    I suppose i need software to connect fron I5/OS to this oracle database like you need extra software when you want to connect to an i5/OS database if you are running SAP on Windows (read note 751451)
    Does anybody know?
    Thanks in advance
    Bertil Rebergen

    Hello Bertil,
    to access an Oracle database from within an SAP system you'll need SAP's database interface library specific for Oracle plus the Oracle database client library utilized by SAP's database interface library. Both need to be available for the operating system your application server runs on, i.e. IBM i5/OS in your scenario.
    Since the required Oracle database client software is not available for IBM i5/OS your SAP application servers on IBM i5/OS cannot access your Oracle database.
    To overcome this limitation you would need to add at least one additional SAP application server based on Windows or Linux/Power to your current SAP system utilizing IBM DB2 for i5/OS. Since the required software libraries are available for these two operating systems you will be able to solve your problem this way.
    Best Regards, Christian Hoelters, SAP AG.

    I don't think there is any separation between CCMS and other systems, all use one database.

  • The course I did to gain OCP certification in Oracle Database 11g does not appear on the courses submission list on the website of pearson vue.

    The course I did to gain OCP certification in Oracle Database 11g does not appear on the courses submission list on the website of pearson vue, I sent an email to [email protected] from < email address deleted by moderator >, without an answer in 7 days since 01/28/2015, the email is below, the title of my course is in Portuguese.  What should I do in this case ?
    Dear Oracle.
    I am sending this email because recently I passed in the exam 1Z0-053 Oracle Database 11g: Administration II, which is the last examination necessary to acquire the OCP Certification. However, in the path to the certification I need to prove that I participated in an Oracle Official Training.
    Searching for the course on the pearson vue site, I have not found the course name on the list. So I am sending this email with the course information required for certification. I attended to the course in college FIAP (http://www.fiap.com.br/en/conheca-a-fiap/parcerias-estrategicas/), in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, from March/2010 to March/2011. Accessing the link above is possible to verify that the educational institution is an Oracle Partner. The title that I got was "Graduate in Oracle Database Management".
    In this email I attached a copy of the FIAP Certified Course (front.jpg certificate, certificate back.jpg). I’m also sending the data from my profile in the pearson vue site (Pearson VUE - My profile.pdf), and my scores in the exams for OCP certification (1Z0-051.pdf, 1Z0-052.pdf, 1Z0-053.pdf ).
    If you need any further information just let me know and I will provide.
    Please acknowledge this information and grant me the OCP certification (Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Professional).

    Sorry, I expressed myself badly.
    When I access http://www.pearsonvue.com/oracle/course/ and start submission process  of the course, in the first step “Select the track for which you have completed a certification requirement” I selected the option “Oracle Database 11g Administrator OCP”, in the second step I selected “ILT = Instructor Led Training”,  but when I got on the third step “Which course or requirement did you complete?”  I have to choose the course name that I did, the course name that I did does not appears in that list, so I do not know which one to select, even having at the end of the form the option “Other ...(Course or requirement is not shown above. Please enter title below.)” the course name I did is in Portuguese/Brazil, the name is “MBA em gestão de banco de dados oracle” in Portuguese, which in English would look like "Graduate in Oracle Database Management".
    I sent an email to [email protected] containing the information that I found necessary to obtain certification.
    But if I have to do the process in the pearson vue site, should I put the course name in Portuguese or in English ?
    Only the email I sent is not enough ?
    Thanks for the help, and sorry for my english !

  • Query Regarding Oracle Database Client

    Hello,
    I'm new to ORACLE and Intented to become Oracle Developer and DBA. I've question regarding Oracle Database Client software.
    I know that there is Oracle Database server software but what is this Oracle Database Client. Is there any need to Install it on client machine as client mostly access the database use application software mainly develope in Java or C# etc. So, what is it need.
    and one more question regarding SQL *Plus. Is it client process or server process as I learnent that it is client process and if it is. Is it can be part of Oracle Database Client. and can we seperately install the Oracle Database Client on machine on which DB server is aslo Installed.
    Looking for reply.
    Regards,
    Danish Kamran

    Certainly you are not mentioning the Oracle version, it is very important. Whenever you post a question reference the oracle version. There is a disk known as the oracle Client (10gR1, 10gR2 and 11gR1), this disk contains all required software to setup a client environment. If you are working with clients such as Java or C# you must have either the jdcb client driver (Jjava) or the ODBC software to access the database, this is included in the Oracle client disk.
    Instant Client
    There are other options for the client, you can install the instant client, this option allows you to install only the drivers without the Oracle utilities, this is particular useful if you are deploying third party applications and you don't want to install the complete client disk.
    SQLPlus
    SQL*Plus is a client application that runs on the client side, when you open a session it requests an Oracle server process to be executed on the server side. Once the session has been successfully setup then you can issue SQL commands from the client side. You should be aware that even if you launch SQL*Plus from the server side you will be working with two processes, one for the client and the second one for the oracle server. This connection mode is also known as dedicated server, but you should be aware that there is another connection mode known as shared server, I won't explain it since it already goes off topic.

  • Please recommend photo management software.Thank you.

    Hi everyone,
    I am looking for suggestions and advice about photo database management software.
    I will be graduating as a veterinarian in February and plan to document my forthcoming cases, using photos and perhaps some videos. At this point in time I believe it will be useful if the software is available for Mac as well as Windows platform (see later why).
    However, I am open to any suggestions regarding Mac-only or PC-only programs as long as they are professional, reliable, strong, fast and customizable.
    The photos entering the database will be:
    1. close ups (taken with or without flash) or
    2. taken from a close range (about 1-2 m for pets or about 5 m for horses/cows),
    3. except for cropping, brightness and sharpness adjustments, there will be NO editing
    4. saved in RAW, TIFF or JPEG. (I am not yet clear about the differences between these however the software should be able to handle as many major formats as possible).
    Ideally, the software would allow:
    1. to create custom keywords and add descriptive comments for each photo.
    2. grouping of photos based on different criteria, themes, parents etc.
    3. fast search
    4. custom search, based on a large range of criteria, including text
    5. Mac-PC interaction: Allow me to explain this: I have 2 laptops (Mac & PC) onto which intend to install the software and if the working environment uses PC only software, I will have the PC with me, otherwise the Mac and the database is always at hand.
    6. data attached to each photo will move with it when the photo is transferred to a different machine using similar software (see above).
    Thank you for your time.
    D.M.

    You should take a look at iView Media or its Pro version. It is a cross-platform (Mac and Windows) program that is free of some of the stultifying limitations of iPhoto. For example, you can create multiple catalogs and you can easily catalog media (not just photos) that are not on the current disk, like media stored on CDs. It has very flexible cataloging features.
    If they have not changed their licensing, you can buy one license to run both the Mac and PC version for one price. You can make one catalog and easily pass it between a Mac and PC with no translation or confusion. This would be much easier than trying to make it work with iPhoto and some other Windows program.
    If you were to go the iView route, you would have to "sync" the data back to the photos so that they carry your keyword etc. data with them to other apps. I don't know if iPhoto embeds that info back to the photos, or if it stays in the iPhoto database only.
    Photoshop Elements 4 is great on Windows, but the Mac version of Elements does not include the cataloging feature because it integrates with iPhoto. I'm not sure how smooth that all works.

  • Address book database management???

    Address Book doesn't seem appropriate for database management so what is best database management software for mac users including 3rd party? If this isn't an appropriate question for this site please direct me to another resource. thx.

    pamtyson,
    I'm still not sure exactly which model of Mac it is, but as it's original version of OS X was Panther 10.3.3, it is entirely possible that AppleWorks was included.
    If it is not in HD > Applications: This Folder, you can use the utility Pacifist, to extract it from the 10.3.3 system discs, if it was included.
    You can then install it.
    But you really should explore using Address Book, as it has numerous functions and capabilities.
    Open Address Book.
    From the Help menu in the Toolbar, select Address Book Help, or just press the Command + Shift + ? keys.
    Review the various topics.
    Copied from there:
    "Address Book enhances the power and usefulness of other applicationss and other devices connected to your computer with flexible and functional contact management."

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.

    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?

    The only way you can get 9iR1 release software is by asking it to your Oracle representative. The oldest 9i release available for public download is 9iR2.
    You could try the administrative 9iR2 client, it can work with 9iR1 releases.
