Oracle Database version support

My manager was asking about our plans to upgrade our current Oracle database version (10.1.0.4). We're currently humming along nicely, so I thought that I'd use an Obsolescence Policy as a guide to push us forward. I looked all over Metalink, but this was the only document I could find, which was a hyperlink from another Metalink document, which advertised it as a 10g Product RoadMap:
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=312470.1
It's not very helpful in that regard, plus it's from Nov 2007. Does anyone have a link to some more current documentation? I really appraciate your help.

Ojdbc14.jar API and Oracle Database Version

Hi
Im using ojdbc14.jar for accessing an oracle 10G database.
Im trying to troubleshoot an exception -
java.sql.SQLException: Parameter Type Conflict
that seems to get thrown by the method -
OraclePreparedStatament.processCompletedBindRow
I have a couple of questions:
1. Is the documentation/source available for ojdbc14.jar in order that I can try and find out what this method is supposed to be doing?
2. Also, can anyone confirm if the jar Im using is the correct version of drivers for accessing a 10G database?
3. When I go to the JDBC support center at Oracle(http://www.oracle.com/technology/docs/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html) any support documentation/APIs refer only to the Oracle db version and dont mention Java versions. Im using ojdbc14.jar which I guess is for use with Java version 1.4 onwards - how does this relate to the Oracle database versions?
Thnaks very much in advance to anyone who can give me any suggestions on the above. This issue has stumped me for days now. Ive checked and double checked my code, and the Oracle Java types I have generated from the database, and they all seem to be fine.
Jon

unzip it, and look at the MANIFEST.MF file in META-INF
If you do not know the version, you can just download appropriate one from oracle site.

Hi, I don't know how to find a specific security patch to apply to my Oracle database version to fix a vulnerability

Hi, I don't know how to find a specific security patch to apply to my Oracle database version 11.2.0.2.0 (on windows server 2003 32 bits) to fix the following vulnerability:
Risk: High
Application: oracle_tnslsnr
Port: 1521
Protocol: tcp
Synopsis:
It is possible to register with a remote Oracle TNS listener.
Description:
The remote Oracle TNS listener allows service registration from a remote host. An attacker can exploit this issue to divert data from a
legitimate database server or client to an attacker-specified system.
Successful exploits will allow the attacker to manipulate database instances, potentially facilitating man-in-the-middle, sessionhijacking,
or denial of service attacks on a legitimate database server.
Solution:
Apply the work-around in Oracle's advisory.
Thank you for your help

that sounds like the "tns poison" vulnerability. CVE 2012-1675 - Oracle Security Alert CVE-2012-1675

Is there any incompatibility in using different JDBC and Oracle database versions?

Hi everybody,
I hope you can answer me ASAP.
Which version of JDBC driver for Oracle could I use to access an Oracle database version 8.0.4.3.0 running on a SUN machine?
Is it necessary to use the specific driver concerning to that version or could we use the JDBC version 8.1.6?
If we decide to use JDBC 8.1.6 to work against the 8.0.4.3.0 database, will we find any incompatibility or problem?
Thanks.
null

I don't know the answer to your question, but while looking for something else, I found a table listing "requirements and compatibilities for oracle jdbc drivers" that might answer your question:
http://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/java.817/a83724/getsta1.htm#1008206
(My aologies if that URL gets broken apart by this posting software and you have to piece it together.)
Hope this helps.

OWB 10gR2 and 11gR2 integrate which with oracle database versions

I request a clear definite reply as I need to suggest the client to upgrade their production databases. I did try searching on the oracle sites, but did not get any sure answer.
Question:
The client has databases on 8i, 9i & 10g. Will OWB 10gR2 support these data sources?
If not, either I will have to ask clients to upgrate 8i & 9i to oracle 10g or have them upgrade the same and also have them upgrade to OWB 11gR2.
So, please confirm support of database versions for both OWB 10gR2 & OWB 11gR2.
Thanks much!

I already had the 'Release notes' link for both 10g and 11g which you provided.
The issue is when I launch the URL, I am taken to https://support.oracle.com/CSP/ui/flash.html.
Here I've to submit and register Sun Contract Number or Oracle Support Identifier. I don't have these details.
Isn't there a simple way to get the valid information on platform-specific requirements?
I mean this should be given easily on Oracle site.
Thanks much!

Proxy User - Forms 11.1.2 and Oracle Database (version 10.1.0.5) ??

Hi,
we are migrating from Forms 6i to 11.1.2. Our database version is very old (Enterprise Edition, version 10.1.0.5) because this is the latest version of the DB that Forms 6i runs, and we will migrating to 11g in phases. So 6i and 11g will co-exists for a while (accesing the same DB).
I am trying to use proxy users feature to login to database.
So I did this:
- I created a user PROXY_USR to be the proxy user:
SQL> create user PROXY_USR identified by PROXY_PASW;*
- I grant create session for the user:
SQL> grant create session to PROXY_USR;*
- I changed the application users (eg APPUSER01), to connect via proxy user:
SQL> alter user APPUSER01 grant connect through PROXY_USR;*
The comand in Forms module to login is:
+LOGON('PROXY_USR[APPUSER01]','PROXY_PASW@DB01');+*
The logon built is being performed and the connection being made, without erros.
But when I verify in what user the application is logged on, the result is not
what was expected:
I did the follwing PL/SQL inside Form module:
begin*
select user into v_user_DB from dual;*
MESSAGE('User Connected: '||v_user_DB,ACKNOWLEDGE);*
exception*
when others then*
MESSAGE('ERR: '||SQLERRM,ACKNOWLEDGE);*
end;*
The result from this select, is PROXY_USR and not APPUSER01 (that would be the correct):
*>>Result: "User Connected: PROXY_USR"*
Some more commands that were also performed inside Forms module:
begin+
select sys_context('userenv','current_user') v_current_usr from dual+
MESSAGE('Current User: '||v_current_usr,ACKNOWLEDGE);+
exception+
when others then+
MESSAGE('ERR: '||SQLERRM,ACKNOWLEDGE);+
*>>Result: "User Connected: PROXY_USR"*
begin+
select sys_context('userenv','proxy_user') v_proxy_user from dual;+
MESSAGE('Current User: '||v_proxy_user,ACKNOWLEDGE);+
exception+
when others then+
MESSAGE('ERR: '||SQLERRM,ACKNOWLEDGE);+
*>>Result: "Proxy User: "*
OBS: when a connect via SQL*Plus, in a 11g database (Express), and run the commands above, the results are OK. The
APPUSER01 is returned.
Any ideas ?? I will open a SR in Metalink, but I think they will first request a database upgrade,
which is not feasible for us at the moment ...
Thanks in Advance.
Franco

Unfortunately besides trying on a certified combination (maybe use the Developer Database VM and import the required schemas for trial) and going through the documentation at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24269_01/doc.11120/e24477/sso.htm I can't offer more. I don't have a 10gR1 database anymore and also I don't have OID to play with.
cheers

Which database version supports replication for 120000 records/table

Hello everyone,
I am being asked about which DB version supports replication for the case where the number of records exceeds 120000 per table (probably more). I never used replication before so I can't give advice about it.
Should SE one be used? SE, or EE?
Advice please, if possible some references as well...
yours

Either version will support more than the number of rows mentioned above. With replication there are many choices but with Standard Edition, it becomes more limited. I worked for Quest Software and we have a product called SharePlex which is an Oracle replication tool which support both Enterprise Edition vs. Standard Edition. We even have a special pricing for Standard Edition as well.

Oracle Report and Oracle Form Version supported by Oracle Enterprise 10gR2

Thanks.

Hi,
I think Reports 6i has the option to create character delimited output, which can be used for Excel imports. In Reports 9i the ability to add a mime type that opens Excel directly was added

Oracle database SNMP support

Hi All,
Does anyone know of an Oracle document which describes the steps necessary in configuring SNMP for Oracle (most important is on Windows but all the other platforms would be great too) versions 9 and greater? When I google on "snmp" and "oracle", I get a ton of hits but the documentation is very old and I fear out of date. I know from speaking with other folks that configuring SNMP for Oracle is a real challenge. I just can't help but think there is a document somewhere in Oracle that presents this subject in a clear, step-by-step manner. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Which Oracle db version supports partitioning

Hello Everyone reading my post,
I'm a student who needs to work on a partitioned table. I've tried several versions of oracle db but each time I get error ORA-00439: Partitioning feature not enabled.
It would be great help if you can guide me to the right version that supports partitioning.
Thanks

Maran,
I posted the exact version, because there is a huge difference between 8i and 8.0, and a not so huge difference between 7.3 and 8.0. The only difference is mainly partitioning.
This is why an instructor at Oracle University (I won't mention his name, because he is still there), stated internally they labeled 8.0 as Oracle 7.4.
Quite frankly, partitioning would have called for a major redesign of the datadictionary, but Oracle didn't do that, and more or less 'mangled' partitioning in.
He also stated 'some say they did change the rowid, to make sure Forms 3.0 wouldn't work against the new version'. Forms 4.5 was long out then, but apparently no one upgraded
So no insinuation, no flame, no sneer, was intended, not at Alok, not at anyone.
I only posted it, because Alok was incorrect, and because of the difference between various versions.
Consequently, I don't understand the comment of N. Gasporotto.
I think it is quite probably changing the rowid was done with a hidden agenda.
Why would Oracle not try to force people to upgrade?
Oracle is a commercial venture, and Larry has to pay his boats somehow ;)
I'm sorry if I caused any confusion, it was not intended.

Downgrading Oracle database ( Version 9.2.0.8.0 to 9.2.0.6.0)

Hi All,
I am working as development Dbs. I had upgraded Oracle DB 9.2.0.1.0 to version 9.2.0.8.0 for some testing purpose in Windows XP(32bit). I didnt take the backup before applying patch. Now they want to downgrade the db to 9.2.0.6.0. How can i do that? Is there any patch for that? or Is there any patch for downgrading to 9.2.0.1.0? Please let me know a solution.
Thanks,
Manikandan

I meant if the COMPATIBLE parameter has been set to something greater than 9.2.0.1 or 9.2.0.6 (depending on which you want to downgrade to). If it is still 9.2.0.0 that is fine.
Check the patch documentation for rolling back the 9.2.0.8 patch.

How to check the Oracle database version

Hi,
How can i check, what type of database am using and which version?
Can anyone help me to know?

I am not sure what exactly you mean by "what type of database am using " but you can try this:
select from v$version;*
This will give you detailed version number of the database components. You can also use
select from PRODUCT_COMPONENT_VERSION;*
to get various components of the DB with their version.
