What a religious question, you might have well asked why not use Informix or Interbase. grin.
Powers that Be's call - just point out Progress revenues declined by 30%+ last quarter.. that they are less than 3% of the size of Oracle.
Sure they may be cheaper... remember you usually get exactly what you pay for. ( caveat - I haven't looked at Progress in over 6 years )
Do you want to drive a Yugo, a Ford, or a Mercedes? Which one will have less problems? Which one will still be around in 20 years?
Haven't seen many Yugo's lately.

Oracle Connectivity to progress Database

Hi,
We have to make a direct connection between Oracle and Progress database on unix machines?
Does anybody know how the connectivity can be configured/set up using ODBC drivers.
Thanks in advance,
null

Yes you can use the free oracle database feature called Generic Connectivity. It is available on Solaris, NT, AIX, HP and Linux.
You will need to obtain an ODBC driver for Progress and install it on the machine where the Oracle database is installed.
For more info refer to Chap 7 (http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B13789_01/server.101/b10764/gencon.htm#1005900) of the Heterogeneous Connectivity Administrator's Guide

HS connectivity to Progress database

Hi,
Is there any way to establish connectivity between Oracle and Progress database, other than PEERDIRECT (Progress tool)?
Thanks,

Problems by connecting to a progress database with MII

Hello Forum!
I'm using MII V 12.1.4. I am trying to create a connection to a progress database V9.1E.
I have uploaded and deployed the jar-file containing the jdbc driver. After activating the new connection the status of it is on error. In the log viewer of MII are this entries:
- Warning: Unable to fill connection pool for jdbc:jdbcprogress:T:mefass:9920:fcheck
- Warning: Unable to detemermine maximum number of connections from JDBC driver
- Warning: Unable to fill connection pool for jdbc:jdbcprogress:T:mefass:9920:fcheck
- Warning: Created Connection pool [jdbc:jdbcprogress:T:mefass:9920:fcheck]:
- Error: Unable to get a connection from the pool
- Error: Unable to get a connection from the pool
[EXCEPTION]
java.lang.NullPointerException: while trying to invoke the method java.sql.Connection.createStatement() of an object loaded from local variable 'conn' ...
I am sure that the settings of the connection aren't false because I have checked them many times.
Does anyone has an idea what can cause this error messages? Has anyone allready tried to connect to a progress database?
Thanks for your help!

Hello to everyone
I must access a Progress Database from an Oracle Database, but I dont want to use some extra files (like .txt or something like that).
I found to solutions:
- to make some changes using Heterogeneous Services agents;
- to use ODBC its seems to me to strange.
Do you have any recommendations?
Somebody have an alternative idea?

Reports9i PDS to Progress Database

We're looking to move to 9iReports on Oracle dbs, and with the PDS I want to know if it is possible to connect to a Progress Database also, and if so how? my knowledge of JDBC is very low. I'm struggling to find an example for this data source.
thanks
john

Hello John,
Yes JDBC is the good way to go to integrate Progress RDBMS with Oracle9i Reports.
You can find some help in the Building Reports documentation and also so configuration tips in this doc. (http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/whitepapers/dataDirect_Sybase/dataDirect_Sybase.htm)

But, My essbase server is up and running. I am able to connect it through EAS.

It looks like more of an issue with connecting to essbase, usually "java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no HspEssbaseEnv in java.library.path" means planning has not been installed or deployed correctly, what OS is it running on?

Sequencing and Trigger on Oracle 9i lite database

We created a schema (TESTSCHEMA) on Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise edition and have a created a trigger which will use the sequence object to generate primary key for the table (TEST_TABLE)
Sequence creation:
CREATE SEQUENCE TESTSCHEMA.TEST_TABLE_SEQUENCE START WITH 6000 INCREMENT BY 1 MINVALUE 6000 MAXVALUE 6999 NOCACHE NOCYCLE NOORDER ;
Trigger creation:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TEST_TABLE INSERT BEFORE INSERT ON TEST_TABLE FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
pkValue NUMBER;
BEGIN
pkValue := 0;
Select TEST_TABLE_SEQUENCE.NextVal into pkValue from dual;
:NEW.TEST_KEY := pkValue;
END TEST_TABLE_INSERT;
We have created a snapshot of the schema on mobile server, synchronized the data with the client (Win32 for testing purpose).
The trigger works fine on the server, but when I run the same query on the lite database with msql it gives me an error:
[POL-3221] null key in primary index
I was wondering if Sequence generation and Triggers are supported on Oracle 9i lite database ? Or am I missing out something ??
Any information/ help is appreaciated
Thanks
Neeraj

You can't use SAVEPOINT / ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT statements in the database trigger:
ORA-04092: cannot SET SAVEPOINT in a trigger
ORA-04092: cannot ROLLBACK in a trigger
I am not sure what you need exactly, but you can try this:

How to install the Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Tuning ?

Hi,
How to install the Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Tuning with the Oracle Tuning Pack
Release 9.0.1
And where to get download this.
Thank u..!

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.

Uninstall Oracle 11gr2 RAC database in grid infrastructure

Hi all,
After several attempt to install my Oracle database RAC with grid infrastructure, i want now to do a fresh installation as i have attempted 3 times and now i have all the procedure on installing the database and RAC.
Actually i have installed it correctly but now i want to cleanup my server and remove all oracle installation directory and do a fresh installation.
My question is what is the procedure to uninstall an Oracle RAC database and Clusterware with grid infrastucture and cleanup oracle base installation.
The architecture is:
GRID and clusterware: Oracle grid 11gR2
Database: Oracle database 11gR2
Database and grid storage: ASM
OS: linux centos 6
Thank you.
Raluce.

The deinstallation of Oracle GI could be not so easy thing to do, because it contains many components one should be aware of. The proper deinstall is important because it will safe you from many issues with next install on these servers
In general we need to be sure that:
1. all sowftware stopped properly
2. removed from oraInventory
3. binaries removed
4. /etc/oracle cleared
5. ocr and votes cleared using dd
6. /etc/oratab updated
7. .profile updated
8. init.d files in /etc/ cleard
Usually its recommended to use deconfigure scripts, if they fails for some reason, the manual procedure should be followed.
How to Deconfigure/Reconfigure(Rebuild OCR) or Deinstall Grid Infrastructure [ID 1377349.1]
How to Deinstall Oracle Clusterware Home Manually [ID 1364419.1]
As general recommendation its good idea to save your crs configuration for future reference.

Number of available records in Oracle 10g express database

Hi,
I am facing problems in getting the number of available records in Oracle 10g express database with the following query.
string filename = dbObject.FILENAME;
string vendorID = dbObject.VENDOR_ID;
OracleCommand myCommand = _connection.CreateCommand();
myCommand.CommandText = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ASSET_PROCESSING_OUTPUT WHERE *FILENAME = :filename AND VENDOR_ID = :vendorID*";
myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("filename", filename);
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("vendorID", vendorID);
OracleDataReader reader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();
Using this command how can I get if the record exists in the database with the given value.
Thanks in advance.

It appears you're only executing the statement. You need to fetch the result to see the value returned by the SELECT statement.

Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control is not working properly

Hello!
I have a problem with Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control, the web console. When I open the browser, instead of showing the login window, it shows the window where three arrows, the database instance, the listener, and the conection, that are red and down.
However they are working correctly, the database is up and working, but the EM doesn't show anything else.
Is there a way to make it work again?
Thanks!

The Enterprise Manager has lost sync with the database.
The only way I know to do this remotely is to tell the OEM to shut down and/or bring up the database - twice. It'll try and fail and perhaps eventually reset it's pointers.
I'd really like Oracle to create a 're-sync to actual state' URL ... there must be an easy way, such as flushing the collected metrics or something.

Using OBIEE with Oracle Express Edition Database? SOLVED

I have a client that wants a quick demo of OBIEE. They sent us some csv files as the data source. I migrated them to Excel files for easier use, but the Excel files seem to have limitations on how I can combine the columns, such as concatenating and formatting.
I then loaded them into an Oracle Express Edition database, assuming more "database" functionality would be available to me. I was able to load them into the Administration Tool, but Answers gives me the following error when I try to view any results from the Express database:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).

Thanks. I got some assistance from a co-worker that is also using Express Edition. (This is also my first use of Express Edition.)
