Oracle License 10g, do I need to import it somehow ?

Hello,
My company bough 10g SE. We received link to download location, but no license. It seems to me, that there is no need to import or copy/paste any license. Is this correct ? I just download, install and that is all ? No need to license this product ?
thank you for answer

thank you for answerOracle is just plain strange in that respect.
The software you download is not limited by time or in functionality. It is just the 'first release' for that specific platform and it does not contain any of the latest patches created after it was posted on the download site. (If you want patches, you need to pay extra for support.)
The license you get is a piece of paper with conditions that you agree to follow. To a large extent the trust you to honour your ''word' and follow that agreement. The agreement does include a clause that says you will permit periodic audit by Oracle. (And you will be asked to pay the difference IF such an audit occurs and IF you usage is different from your license.)
But it is truly strange that one of the worlds largest software companies does not use license keys, but actually trusts it's user community, is it not? (While 'the other' company complains about losing billions in pirated copies of their software ...)

Oracle XE 10g database offline need help getting it back in 11g EE

Our server crashed...completely crashed...lightning took it clean out. It was older hardware running server 2003, oracle xe 10g, so we replaced it with a newer better server running 2008r2 (64bit I might add).
I need to bring the old database, tablespaces and datafiles back online with the new server and the new instance of Oracle.
I have sucessfully installed oracle 11g EE and can create new a new database (all is online with this), but I need my old data back for PCM 13.1. I cannot find any good online documentation regarding this issue, and we are down until its corrected. Obviously just copying the data over isnt going to work, so any help is much appreciated.
I have good copies of the old hard drives with the folder structures intact, but there is no chance of getting the old OS back online without purchasing old matching hardware and just slamming the drives into it.
Basically how do I get the new instance of Oracle to open and run my older database...how do I restore it?

I did it...yay! Here's what I did...I installed a fresh copy of oracle 10g xe in my virtual xp mode. Stopped the database after installation...deleted and replaced the oradata and fast_recovery_area folders with my old data. Started the database and everything worked so far. In the server with 2008 r2 I installed 11g xe, same system password. I then installed SQL Developer on both computers (easier for me than typing out the scripts). In the XP mode 10g xe computer I did a FULL data pump export to a dump directory. I then moved the dump file to the new server and ran a data pump import, appending data if existing. First time, failed....checked the log and obviously I missed the fact the folder structure MUST be the same for the datafiles or I would have to remap (too much work). The default oradata folder is different in 10g than 11g. I created the oradata folder in 11g xe in the same location as 10g would put it and ran the import script again. BAM, it worked this time...I have my data back in 11g xe and my software was able to find it like it should. Thank you for your consideration and help...hope this helps someone else down the road.

Converting Unicode to UTF-8 character set through Oracle forms(10g)

Hi,
I am working on oracle forms (10g) where i need to load files containing unicode character set (multilingual characters) to database.
but while loading the file , junk characters are getting inserted into the database tables.
while reading the file through forms , i am using utl_file.fopen_nchar,utl_file.get_line_nchar functions to read the unicode characters ...
the application server , and database server characterset are set to american utf8 characteset.
In fact , when i change the text file characterset to utf8 through an editor(notepad ++,etc) , in that case , data is getting inserted into database properly,(at least working for english characters) , but not with unicode ...
Any guidance in this regard are highly appreciated
Thank you in advance

Export import - using TOAD FOR ORACLE and ORACLE DATABASE 10G EXPRESS or s

Hi all,
Could you please kindly help me?
I am using TOAD FOR ORACLE to export a table to flat file A. The tool just supports to distinguish fields by "spaces".
And the web page of ORACLE DATABASE 10G EXPRESS to import the data from flat file A to another database. To load data to a table from a text file, the web page bases on "comma" to distinguish fields.
So could you have any suggestion for me? I need to export data via TOAD FOR ORACLE. And then import it to another database by the home page of ORACLE DATABASE 10G EXPRESS or sqlplus.
Thank you so much for your help!

Dont use TOAD for exporting your data. Use PL/SQL. Below is the code given in Asktom.com that does what you want.

Oracle Licensing Question on Processors - Oracle 10g Standard Edtion One

We are a small finance company and wanted to buy Oracle database 10g Standard Edition One licenses.
We wanted to get a 15 users licenses(perpetual licenses)
Now when it comes to the server hardware where we will be installing the Oracle database, do we need
to make sure we have only 1 (or) 2 processors ?
Is there document which will tell me as what kind of processors or any limitations on the processors speed
I need to have on the Oracle database server ?

Hi,
did you have a look at:
https://shop.oracle.com/pls/ostore/wwv_flow_item_help.show_help?p_item_id=4777527003091012
? As far as I can see licensing 15 users on a 1-2 socket server should not be an issue. If you would have a bit more users you could consider a socket license (5800.- US$ / socket).
With Standard Edition One or with named users licensing you do not have to worry about the technical figures of your CPU. This is only needed when you license Enterprise Edition (EE) based on processor metric because then cores and processor type are used to calculate the amount of processor licenses.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
David

I need to import data from a CSV file to an Oracle table

I need to import data from a CSV file to an Oracle table. I'd prefer to use either SQL Developer or SQL Plus code.
As an example, my target database is HH910TS2, server is ADDb0001, my dB login is em/em, the Oracle table is AE1 and the CSV file is AECSV.
Any ideas / help ?

And just for clarity, it's good to get your head around some basic concepts...

SQL*Plus is another front end (character based rather than GUI) that submits code to the database and displays the results. It also does not have code of it's own although there are SQL*Plus commands for use only in the SQL*Plus environment.
The "code" that you are referring to is either SQL or PL/SQL, so you shouldn't limit yourself to thinking it has to be for SQL Developer or SQL*Plus. There are many front end tools that can all deal with the same SQL and/or PL/SQL code. Focus on the SQL and/or PL/SQL side of your coding and don't concern yourself with limitations of what tool you are using. We often see people on here who don't recognise these differences and then ask why their code isn't working when they've put SQL*Plus commands inside their PL/SQL code. ;)

Oracle Express 10g with driver 10.2.0.1 - need to update to 10.2.0.5

Hi,
I am not sure if this is the correct place for this question but its where I have seen some other discussions on drivers.
I have Oracle Express 10g installed on my pc, and some work servers and am getting some errors about memory issues and came across this message and decided to try the solution here too - Re: Attempted to read or write protected memory
I have the 10.2.0.1 driver on the clients I am running and the app has 10.2.0.4 (I think) and so decided that updating the clients drivers might solve the problems as described in that thread.
I have downloaded the instant client basic and odbc for windows x32 but am unsure what I need to do next as I have Oracle Express installed. I couldnt find one specifically for Express 10g.
Do I have the correct drivers downloaded and how do I install them into odbc ?
Many thanks, George.

My understanding is that to be a MetaLink subscriber you have to be an Oracle customer or subscribe for Oracle support services. Since Oracle is only one of the many databases we support, and because our sole objective with Oracle is compatibility testing, it's unlikely that we will become subscribers unless it's essentially free.
Oracle is tangential (not core) to our own offerings, so we don't have a pressing need for support. Is there some avenue for people in our shoes?

Need for an aditional enterprise oracle license in a cluster

Hello,
I would like to know about the oracle licensing (*enterprise 11g*) of the following structure:
# Cluster of an active-passive operating system with only one active server. The secondary node will take over the services only in case of failure of the primary.
# A secondary data center with one more node of the cluster and with data replication from the primary storage.
I know that for the cluster will require the licensing of only one server.
I wonder about the need for one more Oracle license for the second mentioned structure, where the passive server would only be used in case of failure of the cluster.
Thanks in advance!

You really, really, really want to have this conversation with Oracle Sales. Nothing anyone says here is in any way authoritative-- if there is ever an audit, you really don't want to explain that some guy on the internet with a playing card logo next to his name said it was OK. The answer may depend on the country you're in, your existing license agreements, your ability to negotiate with Oracle, your desire to buy other Oracle products, how much your sales rep likes you, the phase of the moon, how close your rep is to making their quota, your astrological symbol, and dozens of other factors. In other words, any answer would need to be taken with a few hundred grains of salt.
You'll want to refer to the Software Investment Guide, specifically the Backup/Failover/Standby/Remote Mirroring section. In general, you can have one failover node so long as you do not fail over for more than 10 calendar days per year and immediately go back to the primary once it is repaired. In general, you would need to fully license the failover data center. But, as I said, this is all subject to negotiation.

Need Oracle Database 10g For Mac OS 10.4 PowerPC

Hi, I am looking for Oracle Database 10g for Mac OS 10.4 PowerPC. I need to run this software on a PowerBook G4. I would appreciate any download links or tips that can help.

I am using Virtual PC 7 running Windows 2000, but the emulator runs painfully slow. Things would run a lot smoothly if I had the PowerPC version of Oracle Database. I heard it exist.

Oracle License needed?

My daughter wants to use Oracle Spatial in her senior design project at UMASS Amherst. Does she need an Oracle license for this? If yes, is there a 'student/education' license available?
Thanks in advance,
Bob

I think it is free.
See here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html
"All software downloads are free, and each comes with a Development License that allows you to use full versions of the products at no charge while developing and prototyping your applications (or for strictly self-educational purposes)."
I didn't go to the law school so I'm not sure.

Is oracle lite free or is there any license for Oracle Lite 10g for product

Please note that Oracle Lite is no longer being actively developed, and no further releases are planned. The recommended small footprint database from Oracle is Berkeley DB.
