Oracle Patchset query

We need to upgrade to Oracle patchset 10.2.0.4 from 10.2.0.2 on 32-bit Windows.
On service market place I found the following files for this :
10204_Patch20_WIN32.zip    Size 91436 KB
10204_Patch22_WIN32.zip    Size 91849 KB
BIN Patchset_10204_Win32aa.bin    Size   358400 KB
BIN Patchset_10204_Win32ab.bin      Size 358400 KB
BIN Patchset_10204_Win32ac.bin     Size 293572 KB
Could you tell me, if I need the .bin files as well as the .zip files
Note - 1137346 says that only .zip files are needed.
Could you please clarify this doubt?
And Note - 839187 says - To apply the patch set, follow the instructions in the patch set README file.
But there is not readme file on service market place.
Thanks.

So, I downloaded the 2 .zip files.
But the README file says -
1 Ensure that your Oracle Database installation is the same release for which you are applying this patch. In other words, only apply the Release 10.2.0.4 Bundle patch to an Oracle Database Release 10.2.0.4
Now, we are at 10.2.0.2.
So to bring us to patch level 10.2.0.4, we are supposed to apply the above 2 .zip files, right?
But the README says you can apply these patches only if you are already at 10.2.0.4
Could you please clarify this?
Thanks.

Oracle Patchset 10.2.0.5.0 impact on password enabled roles

Oracle Patchset 10.2.0.5.0 (as well as 11.1.0.7 according to Oracle Support note 745407.1) will affect your password enabled roles security if you grant password enabled role to a user as a DEFAULT role (this users - like firecall ids - don't have to provide password to have this role active after logon). It turns out this is the only impact contrary to Oracle Support (Metalink) note 745407.1 stating that roles granted to other roles are affected as well. After I read the note I've worked with my DBA to assess possible damage to the application I support. Below are the results that I hope might help other people to assess and fix their situation as well (Please don't do the "fix" recommended by note 745407.1 which is to "remove password protection from the role" as this will trash your application security) :

As expected password enabled role PASSW_AUTH_ROLE disappeared from the list of the roles enabled by default. Contrary to the expectations ROLE_TO_OTHER_ROLE that is granted to ORACLE_ROLE but not directly to the user is still active. As it turns out that is not the last surprise.
In order to test other possible combinations of roles granted to other roles I've created two other roles:
create role role_to_other_role_2;
Role created.
SQL# create role PASSW_AUTH_ROLE_2 identified by xxxxxxxx;
Role created.
SQL# grant passw_auth_role_2 to oracle_role
Grant succeeded.
SQL# grant PASSW_AUTH_ROLE_2 to PASSW_AUTH_ROLE
Grant succeeded.
SQL# grant role_to_other_role_2 to passw_auth_role;
Grant succeeded.
Surprisingly after logon password enabled role PASSW_AUTH_ROLE_2, granted through non-password enabled role ORACLE_ROLE, is active without need to provide password to set PASSW_AUTH_ROLE_2 role, which kind of defeats the purpose of Oracle security change in the first place.
connect app_user@XXXXXX
Enter password: *********
Connected.
select * from session_roles;
ROLE
CONNECT
ORACLE_ROLE
ROLE_TO_OTHER_ROLE
PASSW_AUTH_ROLE_2
Also if we set other password enabled role PASSW_AUTH_ROLE all roles granted to that role become active roles:
set role passw_auth_role identified by xxxxxxxx;
Role set.
select * from session_roles;
ROLE
PASSW_AUTH_ROLE
PASSW_AUTH_ROLE_2
ROLE_TO_OTHER_ROLE_2
As we can see this Oracle attempt to solidify role based security leaves some holes, and documentation is confusing and misleading. I expect that there will be more interventions coming in the future and we will need to verify with Oracle if they intend to do changes with role based security in the future that might have much greater impact on applications security models, and potentially cause unwanted downtime.
Finaly the query to figure out if you are potentially affected is:
select B.grantee, A.role, B.default_role
from dba_roles A, dba_role_privs B
where A.password_required = 'YES'
and A.role = B.granted_role
and B.default_role = 'YES';

I think, we are also facing this problem. Please let me know if any one has got any kind of FIX for this ?
we have just migrated from 10.2.0.4.0 to 10.2.0.5.0. All of a sudden set of code stopped working.
Query runs before setting up ROLE and similer query gives error after setting up the ROLE. If we don’t set the ROLE, both queries work fine.
======= Code =====
SELECT granted_role
FROM DBA_ROLE_PRIVS
WHERE grantee = '501280629'
AND granted_role IN ('PICAMG','PICAUS', 'PICAVW', 'PICAOP', 'PICADB')
AND ROWNUM = 1 ----> this query works before setting up ROLE
SET ROLE PICADB IDENTIFIED BY XXXXX ----> setting up ROLE
SELECT granted_role
FROM DBA_ROLE_PRIVS
WHERE GRANTEE = '501280629'
AND granted_role IN ('PICAMG','PICAUS', 'PICAVW', 'PICAOP', 'PICADB') ----> this query does work after setting up ROLE

Oracle Text query: Escaping characters and specifying progression sequences

How can I combine the escaping of a search string and the specification of progression sequences within an oracle text query
so that in all cases the correct results are delivered (see example below)?
The scenario in which to use this is the following:
+ Database: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0
+ Requirement: Hitlist of results ordered by score whereby the different part within
the result list are specified using progression sequences within oracle text query
Example:
create table service_provider (
id number,
name_c varchar(100),
uri_c varchar(255)
insert into service_provider values (1,'ABB Company Mgmt','http://www.abb-company-mgmt.de');
insert into service_provider values (2,'Dr. Abbas Ming','http://www.dr-abbas-ming.de');
insert into service_provider values (3,'SABBATA United','http://www.sabbata-united.de');
insert into service_provider values (4,'ABB','http://www.abb.de');
insert into service_provider values (5,'AND Company Mgmt','http://www.and-company-mgmt.de');
insert into service_provider values (6,'Dr. Andas Ming','http://www.dr-andas-ming.de');
insert into service_provider values (7,'SANDATA United','http://www.sandata-united.de');
insert into service_provider values (8,'AND','http://www.and.de');
Query 1: works correctly in this case
select * from (
select /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ score(1), this_.*
from service_provider this_
where
CONTAINS ( this_.NAME_C , '<QUERY><textquery grammar="CONTEXT">' ||
'<progression>' ||
'<seq>abb</seq>' ||
'<seq>abb%</seq>' ||
'<seq>%abb%</seq>' ||
'<seq>fuzzy(abb,1,100,WEIGHT)</seq>' ||
'</progression></textquery></QUERY>', 1 ) > 0
order by score(1) desc, this_.NAME_C
) where rownum < 21
delivers
76     4     ABB     http://www.abb.de
76     1     ABB Company Mgmt     http://www.abb-company-mgmt.de
51     2     Dr. Abbas Ming     http://www.dr-abbas-ming.de
26     3     SABBATA United     http://www.sabbata-united.de
Query 2: procudes error
select * from (
select /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ score(1), this_.*
from service_provider this_
where
CONTAINS ( this_.NAME_C , '<QUERY><textquery grammar="CONTEXT">' ||
'<progression>' ||
'<seq>and</seq>' ||
'<seq>and%</seq>' ||
'<seq>%and%</seq>' ||
'<seq>fuzzy(and,1,100,WEIGHT)</seq>' ||
'</progression></textquery></QUERY>', 1 ) > 0
order by score(1) desc, this_.NAME_C
) where rownum < 21
produces ORA-29902, ORA-20000, DRG-50901 because AND is a reserved word in oracle text
So we need escaping ...
Query 3: does not work correctly
select * from (
select /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ score(1), this_.*
from service_provider this_
where
CONTAINS ( this_.NAME_C , '<QUERY><textquery grammar="CONTEXT">' ||
'<progression>' ||
'<seq>{abb}</seq>' ||
'<seq>{abb%}</seq>' ||
'<seq>{%abb%}</seq>' ||
'<seq>fuzzy({abb},1,100,WEIGHT)</seq>' ||
'</progression></textquery></QUERY>', 1 ) > 0
order by score(1) desc, this_.NAME_C
) where rownum < 21
delivers
76     4     ABB     http://www.abb.de
76     1     ABB Company Mgmt     http://www.abb-company-mgmt.de
Query 4: does not produce an error, but also does not work correctly
select * from (
select /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ score(1), this_.*
from service_provider this_
where
CONTAINS ( this_.NAME_C , '<QUERY><textquery grammar="CONTEXT">' ||
'<progression>' ||
'<seq>{and}</seq>' ||
'<seq>{and%}</seq>' ||
'<seq>{%and%}</seq>' ||
'<seq>fuzzy({and},1,100,WEIGHT)</seq>' ||
'</progression></textquery></QUERY>', 1 ) > 0
order by score(1) desc, this_.NAME_C
) where rownum < 21
delivers
76     8     AND     http://www.and.de
76     5     AND Company Mgmt     http://www.and-company-mgmt.de

Anywhere that you just use the word by itself, enclose it in {}, but anywhere that you add % on either side or both don't enclose it in {}. Please see the demonstration below.

Converting Oracle XML Query Result in Java String by using XSU

Hi,
I have a problem by converting Oracle XML Query Result in Java
String by using XSU. I use XSU for Java.
For example:
String datum=new OracleXMLQuery(conn,"Select max(ps.datum) from
preise ps where match='"+args[0]+"'");
String datum1=datum;
I become the following error:
Prototyp.java:47: Incompatible type for declaration. Can't
convert oracle.xml.sql.query.OracleXMLQuery to java.lang.String.
Can somebody tell me a method() for converting to solve my
problem??????
Thanks

Hmmm.. Pretty basic just look at the example:
OracleXMLQuery qry = new OracleXMLQuery(conn,"Select max(ps.datum) from preise ps where match='"+args[0]+"'");
String xmlString = qry.getXMLString();

Oracle text query

Hi,
I have a View object with various attributes (eg, name1, name2, name3, address1, address2, address3 etc). A query/table component based on this view object works just fine. However, I wish to replace name1, name2, name3 and other attributes in the query with just 'name'. These attributes are still to be shown in the result table. This new 'name' attribute will be used in an Oracle Text query clause, instead of individual searches on each attribute.
My plan was to simply make the various name1, name2 etc attributes non-'queryable' in the View def to hide them from the query. Then I'd add a transient 'name' attribute. My hope was, that I could override the getWhereClause() in the ViewObjectImpl and simply tack on the oracle text clause to the WHERE (example below):
WHERE CONTAINS (
SOMECOLUMN,
            '<query>
   <textquery lang="ENGLISH" grammar="CONTEXT">TRANSIENT_ATTR_VALUE
..... Oracle Text query grammar stuff here .... </query>') > 0How do I access the transient value in the ViewObjectImpl to add the above SQL? Or am I going about this in completely the wrong way?
thanks,
Barry.

Applying oracle patchset in oracle-dataguard environment

Hello There,
I wish to apply oracle patchset in oracle dataguard environment.
can you please let me know the steps that has to be taken on Primary & standby database?
is there any specific document for this?
DB - oracle 10.2.0.4
OS - Linxu x86_64
Best Regards
Sachin Bhatt

Hi Sachinn,
To patch primary site, you can find the detailed infirmation in readme.html, in the patch zip file. Additionally, at the standby site, In order to apply the patch;
1) stop the log shipment
2) stop the oracle related services
3) patch the Oracle
4) Startup migrate
5) execute the SQL scripts
6) start the log shipment
Check the link below;

Oracle 9i query in Oracle 8 (Running Total)

Please tell me the alternate SQL for Oracle 8 against this query which is written in Oracle 9i:
SELECT empid,empname,empgpay,sum(empgpay) over (order by empid) AS runningtotal
FROM employee;

There is not a sql structure in Oracle8i to do that directly in SQL Statement. You have to create a program unit to carry out it.

Conversion of Mysql query in oracle acceptable query format

Hi
I have successfully converted my MySql database in oracle. Now the problem is how to execute already written hundreds of Mysql query on the oracle. There are many syntax variation in Mysql query format which is not acceptable for oracle.
For Example
Select case_id as 'this is alias' from cases
The above query can run on Mysql database but have problem while executing Oracle, because single quotes should be replaced with double quotes before executing it on oracle. There are also many other syntax conflicts.
I have tried to resolve the problem through SwisSQLAPI but problem still exist as SwisSQLAPI is not dealing with all syntax conflict. In my case (select if (expresion, true,false)) must be replace with decode (expression, value,true,false) function of oracle and this conversion is not supported by SwisSQLAPI.
Please help me in resolving this problem
Thanks

The problem with trying to port from one language (mysql SQL) to another (oracle SQL) is that there's generally no hard rules for a computer to follow, that it will get it 100% correct.
Look at babelfish when you translate a foreign language to English. The end result is readable (usually), but it's rarely completely correct.
The problem is when you feed something into Oracle SQL, it needs to be 100% correct.
All you can really do here is rewrite these queries. It shouldn't actually take as long as you think, because 50% of queries will generally need very minor changes you can do in a minute, and 25% won't need any changes at all.

Check Index used in an oracle select query

Hi Friends,
I have partitioned an oracle table and created Local Index for the Partitioned table .
Now i want to make sure that the Local index is being used when i perform select query on the Table partition.
How do i confirm that ?
can i check the explain plan generted for the select query to confirm local index is being used ?
Please let me know.
Regards,
DB

Now i want to make sure that the Local index is being used when i perform select query on the Table partition.Why? Have you proven that using this local index is the "best" plan?
How do i confirm that ?
can i check the explain plan generted for the select query to confirm local index is being used ?When I asked Google "how to read an oracle explain plan," I found lots of information - what did you find?

Yes!
the problem is that .NET is availabe only on WinX Platforms.
I hve heared somethong of mono a .NET Framework on Linux/Unix.
But it's not only this base it's the question which tools/Patterns/Principials

Oracle apps query-p2p cycle

Hi all....

If it doesn't, then it means it's not real duplicates.
For example :Scott@my11g SQL>with
2 table_A(val) as (
3 select 'This is a duplicate' from dual
4 union all select 'This is another' from dual
5 union all select 'This is not' from dual

9 union all select 'This is another' from dual
10 )
11 ------ end of sample data ------
12 select val from table_A
13 union
14 select val from table_B ;
Scott@my11g SQL>/
VAL
This is a duplicate
This is another
This is notSee ? only 3 rows from the 5 (3+2) originals.
But if I add some pseudo columns Which_table with different values for each table, then :Scott@my11g SQL>with
2 table_A(val) as (
3 select 'This is a duplicate' from dual
4 union all select 'This is another' from dual
5 union all select 'This is not' from dual

9 union all select 'This is another' from dual

11 ------ end of sample data ------
12 select val, 'from table_A' which_table from table_A
13 union
14 select val, 'from table_B' from table_B ;
VAL                 WHICH_TABLE
This is a duplicate from table_A
This is a duplicate from table_B
This is another     from table_A
This is another     from table_B
This is not         from table_AThere is now 5 rows, they are no longer duplicates.

Clarification on using function in where clause of oracle sql query

I have an issue in regarding function using where clause of sql query..
We are facing performance issue while executing query, so in what ways to improve the performance of the query which i have posted below.
select col ,case when my_function(parameter)
from tab1 a ,tab2 b,tabl3 c
where a.column1=b.column2
and b.column3 =c.column6
and my_function(parameter)>0
Regards
Dinesh

Dinesh,
remind that when you use a function in the where clause it normally will get started for each record in the table.
So your answer is two-fold:
1. make the function only start when needed by adding a function based index on the table (this will make inserts and updates slower)
2. make the function faster by adding the DETERMINISTIC clause if possible. this will make Oracle "cache" the result of the function.

Richard
