Oracle Wiki vs Oracle Forums

I must admit I am still a little unclear as to:
- the purpose of the Oracle Wiki
- how it should be used
- how it relates to the Oracle Forums.
Currently, the Wiki seems like another version of Oracle Forums with a few additional bells and whistles. I am confused as to whether I should be using the Forums or the Wiki to raise my questions.
Can anyone explain this to me!?!
cheers, iguru

Thanks for the response. I've just checked out the FAQ and I think I get it.
I was misled by the threads on the wiki home page. These look like questions that are more suited for the forums.
From now on:
- I'll keep one eye on the forums for my questions and answers
- My other eye on the wiki for my collaborative content.
Lets hope I don't go cross-eyed ;-) (yes i know - very poor attempt at humour)
cheers, iguru

Updates to the Extensions Exchange and the new XSDs on the Oracle Wiki

I have just posted the following SQL Developer Forum
+<p>The Extensions Exchange has been updated with a number of new extensions including a few new extensions from teams at Oracle. You can download and install any of the extensions. Some of these are also available for download through the Check for Updates utility. Please note the disclaimer on that extensions page. None of these have been validated or tested by the SQL Developer team.+
The <a href="http://wiki.oracle.com/page/SQL%2BDev%2BSDK%2BHow%2BTos">Oracle Wiki</a> has also been updated to help you write your own extensions. A set of the most commonly used XSDs have now been added.</p>
Instead of singling out individual extensions, I'd encourage you to look at what is available on the exchange and remind you that you can create your own extensions, whether they are Java or pure XML. We have updated the Oracle WIKI with a few examples and finally have added a selection of XSDs. This has been long awaited so for those of you looking out for these, please visit the HOW TO on the Oracle Wiki.
You'll also notice that some of these extensions are showing up under the third party section in Check For Updates.

Welcome to the Oracle Warehouse Builder discussion forum

Hello!
Welcome to the Oracle Warehouse Builder discussion forum!
Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB) product management and development will monitor the discussion forum on regular basis.
Please use this forum for asking product related questions, giving feedback, suggesting enhancements, reporting problems and requesting collateral.

Bonjour "Etudiant from Tunisia",
I'm not sure what you mean with "please give me the user/password".
As far as I know there is no online OWB available where you could try out the product (if that is what you mean).
If you would like to learn more about OWB, read online documentation or for instance the link that is provided in an earlier post in this thread.
Otherwise simply install OWB and try it yourself. The Installation and Configuration Guide is clear enough even without much experience installing Oracle software, and the OWB User Guide provides some basic insight on working with OWB itself.
Good luck, Patrick
ps If people are still expecting what Igor mentioned when he started this forum ("Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB) product management and development will monitor the discussion forum on regular basis"), don't count on it; fortunately the product itself has been around long enough now, there are quite some users that can share usable insights and/or drop some useful lines on the new threads... ;-)

Oracle Portal 11g, Oracle WebCenter Suite or Oracle WebLogic Portal ?

Witch of these technologies, Oracle Portal 11g,
Oracle WebCenter Suite or Oracle WebLogic Portal ?
is the future product of oracle ?
I am going to use portal but I don't know witch of these product is the correct one.
I need help to clarified it. As i am going to use portal I want to use the one that oracle intend to support

Hi Harish,
There are lot differences are available when you compare these three products, some them are
Oracle Web Center Suite
Comprises of various components such as Web Center Interaction,Oracle Entitlement Server,Oracle Personalization Server an Ensemble(for proxying content and mashups) and chat server,wiki server,blog server,forum etc are available with web center suite.The collaboration tools are out of the box,so you dont require to redevelop anything to enable collaboration for your site.Basically webcenter is more powerful when used to develop intranet sites rather than a website which requires less collaboration.
Oracle Portal 10g
Oracle Portal 10g is the primary oracle portal product before oracle bought BEA.The main difference is the architecture and framework,Oracle Portal uses sql/plsql intensively for processing the page as all their pages are developed from browser.Every thing you develop is streaming that is queried from DB in contrast with weblogic portal which has the feature of file based portal which is faster compared to the streaming(persistent desktops).The architecture is different compared to weblogic and webcenter.For ex:There are sql and pl/sql portlets which can be developed very faster which not there in the other two platforms.
Oracle Weblogic Portal 10.3
It is hot in the market right now and development is easier and architecture supports both file based and streaming,the primary features of all the portal product are more or less same but webcenter has more collaborative features.Weblogic portal is very stable as it is on WLS which is a stable weblogic server.
I prefer if you have any previous experience on any of these products then built on that one.Else start with weblogic portal which is easier to startwith compared to others.

Dinesh

Select query differences between oracle 9 and oracle 8.

Hi,
I have a problem using the select query between oracle 7 and oracle 9i I don't have the same result :
ex:
With oracle7
SQL> select 'champ1','champ2' from DUAL;
'CHAMP 'CHAMP
champ1 champ2
With Oracle 9
SQL> select 'champ1','champ2' from DUAL;
'CHAMP1' 'CHAMP2'
champ1 champ2
So Can someone tell me how to solve this problem ? Is there a parameter in oracle 9 to set?
Thanx.

Whenever you are posting anything over internet forums like this - you should be very careful about not just posting the details which requires to solve the problem - also should be sensible about your question.
This is not at all desired when you are posting such question. It may be because - you may not well aware of the fact.
My suggestion is -> First Go through the basics Of SQL in general.
Then go for any specific product like Oracle/ SQL Server/ Sybase etc.
And, finally learn the advanced commands of that DB.
You asked it - may be you thought the difference in output in terms of lines. But, that is not your actual output. That is the graphical display part only.
Anyway,
You can get the quite familier output by first type the following command ->
set lin 310Regards.

Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms?
I have generated a form, which is based on a view. The view uses the mdsys.sdo_relate operator. Somehow I am unable to get the form to perform (to get one record it takes over 20 minutes). While useing sql-navigator to process the same statement it seems no problem. The query that also uses the view, is then processed in 10 seconds.
I also noticed that when text-functions like ' lower' of ' upper' are used to query the view, the query is processed within 15 seconds. If I don't use ' lower' or ' upper' it takes a long time (> 20 minutes) to process the query. Is it possible that this causes the bad performance of the form?
On metalink I have found that forms and spatial do not cooperate because of the pl/sql version that
forms6 uses. There is no solution presented, does anyone know of a work around?
My configuration is:
Oracle 8.1.7 on WIN2K @ PIII-800Mhz 256 Mb memory.
Formsbuilder 6
If requested I can post the queries that I have made.
With regards,
Gerjan Walrecht

Hello Priya,
Look into the following.
1. Book - Pro Oracle Spatial for Oracle Database 11g by r. Kothuri, A. Godfrind, E. Beinat. This book provides a nice introduction on Oracle Spatial concepts and have examples.
2. Look at the Oracle Spatial & Graph User Guide
2. Book - Applying and Extending Oracle Spatial by S. Greener and S. Ravada. This book provides hands on information for advanced oracle spatial application developers. Practical guide on hands-on examples, Data models and develop cross-vendor database solutions.
3. This oracle spatial forum, once you understand these concepts.

How to install oracle 11g on oracle linux 6.1.

Hello everyone here at oracle forum.!
I'm new on using the linux and i badly need to learn it including the Oracle Database for making PHP website.
Because of this i downloaded all the packages of Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 1 Media Pack for x86 (32 bit) at E-Delivery.
Now i was having a hard time figuring out how to install all the 4 ISO images. the only one that worked was was the boot.iso that installed the Oracle Linux 6 without the DB.
So what would i do to use the 3 updates?
I burnt them all one by one on different DVD but it wont look for the other packages.
So please guys bare with me and help me figure out how to use the other 3 packages for i know it has the Oracle Database.
Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 1 source DVD 1 V26570-01
Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 1 source DVD 2 V26571-01
Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 1 Boot iso image for x86 (32 bit) V26573-01

Oracle Linux does not install any Oracle Database. You don't need the source and boot.iso DVD. You can boot and install the system from the Oracle Linux 6.1 installation DVD. The boot.iso is useful for a network install and the source DVD if you want to compile everything yourself.
As far as I know, Oracle Database has not been certified for Oracle Linux 6 yet. That does not necessarily mean you cannot install Oracle Database on Oracle Linux 6 yet, but you will run into problems with software requirements, package dependencies and perhaps incompatibilities, i.e. ext4 file system.
I think your best option is to install Oracle Linux 5 and certainly use Oracle VirtualBox. If you are new to Linux you probably cannot use Linux as your primary OS yet, and VirtualBox will allow you to install and re-install without jeopardizing your primary host OS. You can also download pre-build virtual machines for Virtualbox from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/developer-vm/index.html which might have everything you need installed and ready to use.

DB Upgrade from Oracle 8i to Oracle 11g express edition

Hello,
As per the requirement i have to upgrade some of our application from oracle 8i to oracle 11g express edition on window base platform.
I am using import/export utility to migrate data from oracle 8i database to newly installed oracle 11g XE database. after importing i have tested my application in testing environment. It is working fine.Now I have to do this in production env. before proceeding with it.
please someone let me know what all things i have to keep in mind before execute in prod env. Like all risk,databse backup recovery, or any guidelines need to follow while upgrading lower version of oracle to 11g XE version.
waiting for your valuable inputs.

You might want to consider what other programs interacts with the database; can they still connect to a much newer db server version? Any integrations that need a dry run before going in production? Any other "ad hoc" applications, like excel, running against the db? (you could use listener.log to find out what connects to the db, but a year worth of history might be needed)
Do you have any scripts or other "loosly coupled" stuff that needs review?
Read the New features guides released between versions - there are five or six of them.
Check out the Database Upgrade forum (you could look at this as an upgrade in general from 8.1.x to 11.2), {forum:id=583}. Search the forum for previous related topics and ideas.

Oracle 11g - Non Oracle JOB ?

Oracle 11g - Non Oracle JOB ?
=====================
I hope this is the right forum for this issue, if not let me, where to go.
We are using Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0) on (Platform : solaris[tm] oe (64-bit)), Sql Developer 3.0.04
1) We are loading table using PL/SQL -- > at Oracle server.
2) This data is consumed by Mainframe DB2 process -- > at DB2 server.
3) Return us another table with derived data from DB2 -- > at DB2 server.
There is a IBM JCL read our table and return a Oracle table with calculated data.
Do we able to automate a process using PL/SQL to start the IBM JCL upon loading the table Step (1)?
Are there any alternate approach?
Thanks in helping us.

Hello,
I read the DBMS_SCHEDULER pieces. We need to create a job (Pl/sql procedure or shell script) to configure the DBMS_SCHEDULER.
If we are going to do such thing in the server, where our current Oracle DB instance located, we can perform desired tasks via jobs. No issues.
I reviewed the components within DBMS_SCHEDULER to start job on another server, where there is no Oracle DB instance running. I did not find any clue/pointer on the referred doc.
Do we need any additional components to do such things?
We are on Server A with Oracle DB 11g and Server B with Non-Oracle and no Oracle Instance running there.
How do we create a Job J1 on Server A, where it will request Server B to start a Job J2 in Non-Oracle instance?
Do we have a component within DBMS_Scheduler to do that?
Thanks in helping.

It's my 3000 post – Oracle ACE and Oracle employees

Hello,
So, this is my post number 3000. In this forum, it’s not so unique, but still I decided to dedicate it to the subject of Oracle ACE and Oracle employees.
Recently, Joel blogged about Carl awarded Oracle ACE (http://joelkallman.blogspot.com/2009/02/carl-backstrom-oracle-ace.html), after special efforts made by Sharon, because “the folks at the Oracle Technology Network decided that Oracle employees could no longer be awarded the ACE designation”. I truly wish I could write that Carl is a living proof of this decision being misguided. Unfortunately, I can’t. However, Carl’s case paints the situation in strong colors. Only after his death, Carl was honored with something that I’m sure seems so obvious to most of us.
I’m thinking that if this decision, not to award Oracle employees with Oracle ACE, was made sooner, people like Scott and Joel would not have awarded Oracle ACE, not to mention Tom Kyte, and probably others I’m not familiar with. Scott and Joel deals with APEX all day long, as part of their job, and this forum is not part of their day job description. Still, they find the time to help us all. Just look at the post counter of Scott. I’m amazed each time I see it. Scott, with all his experience, doesn’t limit himself to only the most complicated issues. You can see his replies, to the most basic issues, almost every day. Joel never failed helping me, and many others on this forum, every time there is an issue only he can help with. Scott and Joel were lucky, and have been awarded Oracle ACE, prior to this decision. Carl was less lucky, and as Joel wrote, I can’t think of anyone who better represent the true meaning and spirit of the Oracle ACE program.
The point I’m trying to make is that Oracle ACE should not be left for luck and timing, or place of work, for that matter. I’m sure that the OTN folks had best intensions when making this decision. I can understand that people might suspect favoritism toward Oracle employees; however, the solution shouldn’t be the easy one – no to every Oracle employee.
While writing, I can think of Tyler. He’s no longer a member of the APEX team, but we can still enjoy his wisdom and experience on this forum, not to mention his APEX dedicated blog entries, were he covers special and more complex aspects of working with this tool. I don’t know if Tyler qualifies to become Oracle ACE (and, of course, I’m only using him as an example) but it seems wrong to me not to even consider it, just because he happens to work for Oracle. I’m sure there are others like Tyler, in the other forums. I believe that this kind of behavior, by Oracle employees, should be encouraged, and not taken for granted. Certainly, they shouldn’t be penalized.
So, what all of this has to do with my 3000 posts? I believe I earned the right to call myself a frequent poster on this forum. As such, I know how time consuming this forum can be, not to mention the hard and tedious job of keep repeating the same answers to the same questions, keep pointing to old references, and such. So, I want to take this opportunity to thank all the active participants of this forum, Oracle employees and others. In spite of all the hardship, this forum can also be very rewarding, and at least for me, a very educated experience. I learned a lot in my attempts to help others. I can all heartedly recommend it to everyone who enjoys helping others, and enriching him /her self in the process.
Regards,
Arie.

If I understand you correctly, you ought to reinstall. At this point, even if you're able to resurrect this installation, it might be severely unstable. Mostly because of my proclivity for messing around with settings until I screw something up, I have a tremendous amount of experience with the recovery console, and my success rate is not inspiring. If you have data you need on the drive, your best course of action is to reinstall to a different boot drive, and once you’re able to boot, archive the files you want from the corrupted installation. Then you can wax both drives, restore the data and get everything back the way you want it. Getting your data back from the recovery console is basically a lost cause since it doesn't support wildcards (as in, you'd have to copy every freaking file one at a time).
I re-read the above paragraph, and it's not the clearest thing I've ever written, so if you need clarification on anything, let me know.

We were looking for some solution deployment guide or some best practice guide.
Any help or pointers in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Be sure to visit the parent page:
