Oracle on alternative Linux platforms

Does anyone knows whether Oracle will support Linux on
alternative hardware platforms (like PowerPC or Alpha) or not?
If not do you know a database with Outer-Joins (Postgresql has
not) and subqueries (Mysql has not) support for Linux/PowerPC?
Thanks in advance.

I had the same question (Oracle on Alpha )
and asked altavista ;+)
The answer is yes, but only shipped for x86.
I think, we ( the customers ) have to ask Oracle
for their products on different hardware plattforms...
Pleas read this:

Maybe, DB2 runs on PowerPC, because IBM sponsors the
Linux development on their plattforms.

Differences between Oracle 8i for a UNIX Platform and Oracle 8i for a Linux Platform

Hello,
J would like to know if there are some differences between Oracle 8i for a UNIX Platform and Oracle 8i for a Linux Platform.
I know that there are some differences on Oracle 8i Parallel Server and i know that some products are not include like precompiler (Mod*Ada, Pro*FORTRAN) on a Linux Platform.
Thank you.

We have installed Oracle 8i on Solaris 8 and it had a great performance, of course that the hardware and licence invested here was costed my the office where i work. Personaly i'd installed linux reh hat 8 and oracle 8i, imagine that, it could be implemented by any individual that has the time to do so.
By buyinng from a company that has a good background you could be sure that you will have support.
Bottom line, if you have the $ to buy great hardware go for a unix platform. But if you don't a Red Hat Linux Server Licence with a 1 year sopport and Oracle data base is about 3500Dls.

OS Command in ORACLE LINUX platform

Hi All,
I am facing the same issue while using OS Command in ORACLE LINUX platform.
I am using the command as ls -1 /home/oracle/data > /home/oracle/data/All_FILES_NAMES.txt
Its working in terminal, But not in ODI procedure.
Its throwing error as 'wrong process return code-2'.
Kindly help me.
Thanks,
Haree

CKMs moves the error records to E$ table. In your case I believe you can achieve it through procedure by having first step to copy the error record in MISSED_REC table and then have a second step to read from this tabel and send our email through oditool.

Oracle 8i for Linux: Which platform

Does anyone knows which platform is supported by Oracle 8i for
linux?
Here we using LinuxPPC (fpr PowerPC-Platform) with all the given
reqirements!
Does Oracle 8i runs on systems with PowerPC-processor?
Thanx for answer

I had an Alpha I wanted to install 8i on under Linux, but at
this point it only supports Linux on an Intel box. You may want
to check the migration path to see if Oracle plans to port to a
Power-PC

Problem accesing SYSTEM tables of Oracle in Linux Platform

All,
I am facing the below mentioned problem during accessing the System Tables of Oracle in Linux Platform. (in linux we have install the Database)
E.g: If we pass the statement as
SQL>select * from user_objects;
It gives the error message as
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00980: synonym translation is no longer valid
The same is with :
SQL> select * from v$session;
select * from v$session
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00980: synonym translation is no longer valid
Can anyone help.

Hi,
This seems to be a dicitionary corruption. Its better if you consult your DBA.
If you are a DBA in your project then post the below output
select object_name, owner, object_type from dba_objects where object_name = 'USER_OBJECTS';
set long 4000
select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('VIEW','USER_OBJECTS','SYS') from dual;Regards

Connect to MS SQL server from OWB on Linux platform

Hi,
I want to connect to MS SQL server through OWB, on Linux platform.
I suppose I would use JDBC driver, and Heterogeneous services. Is that possible?
I did not see anything on JDBC driver for MS SQL server for Linux platform from Oracle.
Also, I was wondering is Oracle Gateway 10g for Linux a way to connect to MSSQL server?
Any leads would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ani

Hi,
This quite an actual topic for myself, so I decided to take some time to collect some information.
Start at:
* Oracle Generic Connectivity and Oracle Transparent Gateway - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/gateways/gateways_fov.html
You can use the free Heterogenous Services component named Generic Connectivity for connecting to SqlServer over ODBC. You will need to find (or purchase?) a third-party ODBC driver for SqlServer for Linux, e.g. from www.datadirect.com. Setting this up will allow you to define a databaselink to the SqlServer. Open Gateways implements a limited set of the oracle SQL, so you will have to find out what is possible and what not.
See also:
* How To Setup HSODBC on Linux - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=264567.1
* Generic Connectivity Available on Linux x86 with 10g - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=261726.1
You can also use the Transparent Gateway for SqlServer (HS), which is about EURO 12000 per computer(!). This gives you a full implementation of Oracle SQL and you can access the SqlServer like it was Oracle.
You can also install Microsofts JDBC drivers into Oracle's JVM, and connect through JDBC to SqlServer. This is however not supported by Oracle, but it will work. See:
* What is required for a Java Stored Procedure to connect to a SQL Server Database? - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=276167.1

ORA-00601 Error using JDBC, Oracle 8i on Linux

Hello,
Spatial is considering using Oracle as its database platform. I was assigned
the task of benchmarking the two platforms. So, I downloaded the latest copy
of Oracle for Linux, version 8.1.6.1.0 ( 8i Enterprise Edition Release 2 ).
I'm using RedHat 6.2, with a 2.2.14-5.0smp kernel. I ran the installer, set
up the databases, and everything seemed to be running quite nicely. I copied
a table and its data from mysql to Oracle, and wrote a java program to
benchmark the two. This java program takes command line arguments, the first
one being the connection URL, the second being the number of threads to
start, the third being the number of operations to complete for each thread.
So, if you pass it connection 35 35, it will open 35 threads, and each
thread will then execute 35 selects, inserts, and updates. These are
hard-coded queries, but they mimic the functionality currently in
production.
Oracle bombs on the update. I turned tracing on, and tried it again, with
the same result. Here's an excerpt from one of the trace files:
*** SESSION ID:(4.1) 2000-06-21 16:36:48.937
kvotenlg: epc_collect failed. EPC error: -1073751468.
CDF: /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/otrace/admin/cdf/styorap0
FDF: /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/otrace/admin/fdf/oracled.fdf
kvotenlg: epc_collect failed. ctx:368.
I was not able to find any information regarding this error. However, this
message ( or one very similar ) appeared in every trace file. I get the
following at the end of the pmon_xxxx.trc file:
Load Indicator not supported by OS !
*** 2000-06-21 17:42:19.122
error 601 detected in background process
And, the following in the alert_sid.log file:
Wed Jun 21 17:42:19 2000
PMON: terminating instance due to error 601
Instance terminated by PMON, pid = 3797
I made the assumption that this error was actually ORA-00601, and took a
peek on the internet for relavent information. The canned error message is
"PMON process runs into lock conflict trying to recovery processes". I found
someone who had a similar problem, who suggested setting mts_max_dispatchers
in the initsid.ora file to 1. However, this did not work.
Basically, when Oracle crashes, the java program is trying to update one
column in 1225 rows, 35 times, for 35 threads. The java exception is below.
java.sql.SQLException: No more data to read from socket

Has anyone seen this kind of behavior before? Is this merely a
misconfiguration on my part? Help! :)
-ned

Sorry for the long delay in reply. I was using the thin client driver. However, when I switched to the oci8 driver, not only did I observe a 300% increase in speed, but this bizarre occurrence disappeared. I did find one issue with the oci8 driver, as follows.
In this thread program, if I created a connection in the main program before any of the threads were instantiated, and when the first thread attempted to create a connection, it would produce a segmentation fault. This behavior was very easy to replicate, and it did not matter whether or not I close the original connection. This problem was circumvented by moving the code in the "main" program to create its connection after the child threads had created theirs.

Does Oracle 8i for Linux include Oracle Enterprise Manager?

NO, it will not work. You cannot even install since the installer
for Solaris is a Solaris binary and some windows exe also does
not work. I guess somebody has to write a better bootstrap proggy
first...
I wonder why they did it that way...

import java.net.UnknownHostException;
public class App{
public static void main(String[] args){
InetAddress ip;
try {
ip = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
System.out.println("Current IP address : " + ip.getHostAddress());
NetworkInterface network = NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress(ip);
byte[] mac = network.getHardwareAddress();
System.out.print("Current MAC address : ");
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < mac.length; i++) {
sb.append(String.format("%02X%s", mac[i], (i < mac.length - 1) ? "-" : ""));
System.out.println(sb.toString());
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SocketException e){
e.printStackTrace();
in form i create one jave bean area and add the implement class is

No error comes and no out put comes. So please guide me how to use the getHardwareAddress to get mac id.

Registering the mobile device on mobile server for linux platforms

Dear all,
My scenario fits like dis.........
I m using oracle 9i and oraclelite 10g on redhat linux 9 platform.I m using a handheld EPOS device activated with GPRS.It is basically a swiper machine which is used for bank transactions.The port which I m using are Serial port and USB.my device is not getting detected in WEBTOGO.I heard that I should register my device with the mobile server.but i dont know how to register on linux platforms....I've got a MAC Id for my EPOS device.....cud i do anything with MAC Id?.....and where I have to see whether the device has been detected?
if any body used oracle lite 10g on linux platforms,plz make me a call.
I dont know how to use msql in linux platforms?...how to create a database using msql?
my mobile no. is +91-98433-32738.

Did you install anything from Oracle Lite on that EPOS device of yours ? If so, how did you install and what did you install ?
Usually, when you install a Oracle Lite client on the device, the device should get registered during installation.
Do let us know what you have done.

Two oracle homes on linux !

Hello !
Can we make two oracle homes in Linux .
In one home i have to install 8i database and in the other home i have to install 9iAS.
What i think is , for two oracle homes in linux u need to make two oracle users first ,and in two different bash_profile file u have to give the path of oracle home. So this thing will not allow to start
your database every time. u have to change user every time and then start your database .
This thing will create problem .
I have tried this thing on NT and it worked . I mean i made two oracle Homes and on one home i installed 8i and on other home i installed 9iAS. and it worked uccessfully.
How can i do it on Linux .
Regards
Seemab

No you don't need a separate user. Just a shell script to change the environment.
This is fairly standard on all unix platforms and is covered in the manuals, generally you run .oraenv or .coraenv which is really just a shell script which resets the environment.(theres probably a bash shell script for linux I haven't checked). However you can write your own to suit you needs. Generally the format is that the script it prompts you for an instance name and sets the environment approppriately but it could prompt you for anything.
for example
echo "which environmnet do you want"
read OENV
case $OENV in
9) ORACLE_HOME=....
ORACLE_SID=....;;
8) ORACLE_HOME=....
ORACLE_SID=....;;

I am told my my rep that 8i for Linux will be in the "sooner"
category rather than "later." He's expecting it sometime this
quarter.
