OS crush without backup Oracle Database (DB 9i)

Dear All Experts,
My Oracle DB is installed on Window Enterprise 2003R2, all installation files of DB keep in another partition (driver D:) beside OS partition (C:).
Now, My OS crushes, I want to reinstall a new OS and recover all DB files back. is it possible?
Please kindly give advice for this.
Thanks and regards,
Heng

Yes, you should be able to recover your database.
You need to reinstall the Oracle 9i software to the same patch level as it was earlier. When doing the install, choose to not create the database -- because you already have one. After the installation (and applying patches), use ORADIM to create the OracleService.
You need to restore the database parameter file (initSID.ora or spfileSID.ora) from a backup. The entry for control_files would reference the existing control files. Thereafter, Oracle would read the list of datafiles from the controlfiles.

Run sql statements in PL/Sql Developer without installing Oracle database?

Hi all,
I wish to ask is there any possibility to run Run sql statements in PL/Sql Developer without installing Oracle database?
Regards.

Hello Jimmy,
this is the forum for the tool SQL Developer and, as the title says, *(Not for general SQL/PLSQL questions)*.
PL/Sql Developer is not an Oracle tool, but from allound allroundautomations.
And you need access to a database to run SQL statements. This does not need to be one installed by yourself.

Dear Kamran
First sorry my English.
I am a beginner of oracle 10g and have a problem please help (Consult) me. If you are accept it
My problem is a :
Two oracle server with RAC (Clustering) and one external oracle server (BACKUP ORACLE SERVER) on the this network without RAC (Clustering) on the RHEL 4.7
How to synchronize third oracle server’s database with RAC oracle servers. Becouse of if RAC Oracle servers down or technical corruption change corrupted server.
Or other flexible solution tell me (how to do it)

you can make the third oracle server as a physical standby database to RAC setup. for more information, read oracle doc "Dataguard basics and administration" from http://tahiti.oracle.com
as other option, you can schedule a refresh job from RAC setup to third database server.

How to backup Oracle Database Single Instance using RMAN

Folks,
Hello. I am using Oracle Database Server 11gR1 with Operating System Oracle Linux 5.10.
I understand how to backup database instance in SQL Server with Windows. But don't really understand how to backup database instance in Oracle with Linux.
I have done Cold backup and Hot backup for the database instance HRCS90 but both get the same error message.
Cold backup is below:
SQL> startup

While the database instance HRCS90 is startup, I do hot backup using the same commands and get the same error message with above cold backup.
My question is:
Can any folk tell me the specific steps (command by command) to backup a single database instance in Oracle using RMAN ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. Thanks a lot for replying. My database instance named HRCS90 is going to be backed up. My backup directory is /backup_Database_Instance_HRCS90.
If database in open state, we must back up in archive log. If database in mount state but not open, we can back up in noarchive log.
I have tried to back up HRCS90 in archive and noarchive log when database in mount state but not open as below:
SQL>startup mount;
SQL>exit

Backup Oracle Database whilst online

Guys looking for some help, I have an Oracle database that must run 24hours a day but I need to be able to back this database up daily, from what I understand I have to make the database run in archive log mode to be able to perform a hot backup.
I have found out that currently my database is in noarchive log mode
Can someone help me with the commands to put the database is achivelog mode
Then can you help me with the command to backup the database using RMAN I have read some documentation do I need to just issue the backup database command or do I need to backup the archive logs files as well ?

Do you want to teach me lesson ? I'm working with Oracle database since 1988, and I'm using RMAN since version 8.0 (15 years ago, or so).
And please read the link I posted above.
1) ... At lease two redo logs destination is recommended so that one redolog destination is keep working while other is filled up or vice versa.
And you think I don't know that ? And that's not multiplexing.
2) Catalog database is optional but it is recommended.
It's absolutely not needed, and I consider it just and overhead (another database to manage and to synchronize).
3) You need to setup archivelog retention policy so that it cleans up from LOG destination after certain period of time.
You use DELETE INPUT option in your script, but it looks like you don't know what it means.
Please follow oracle documentation for best practice .
Again, are you teaching me lesson ? Oracle documentation is my bible.
Backup is very important for a DBA so you need to set up precisely so that you can recover the database during disaster
Backup is very important for a DBA ? What a news !! About disaster recovery, at your #1 you said "redo logs are very important to restore database" : or we mean something different for "disaster recovery", or you are totally wrong.

ShadowProtect to backup Oracle Databases

Hi to all
I would like to hear from anyone if you are using ShadowProtect to backup your Oracle databases.
What are your experiences and the pros and cons in using ShadowProtect as the one and only backup/recovery tools for Oracle databases?
Can the potential of ShadowProtect replaces the commonly use Oracle backup/recovery tools?
The reason why I raise this question is because my boss has the idea that ShadowProtect is THE best backup/recovery tools. Personally I don't think so, because there can be cases where we only need to recover the database and not the whole OS. Thus need to hear more from you guys.
Thanks.
Edited by: moslee on Mar 22, 2013 2:24 AM

Hey Moslee,
You should definitely be testing your Oracle database recovery plan quarterly. If you're not even testing it annually that would be what really scares me the most. Testing should show you what you can and cannot get out of your backup and recovery software. Everything else being equal, please please please test your backup and recovery plan and do it often.
As for ShadowProtect, one of the nice things about this backup solution is that it's an image-based backup which means that it will quiesce the Oracle database and transactions to get a good snapshot of your database. Then (because it's an image-based solution) you can recover the Oracle DB, OS, installed applications, running services, data, and etc to that specific recovery point. Another nice thing is that ShadowProtect can quickly virtualize a backup image as a VM using Oracle's VirtualBox, MS Hyper-V, VMware, Citrix ZenServer and/or RedHat's KVM. Over all ShadowProtect's a pretty powerful and easy to use Windows backup tool.
Oh, and ShadowProtect's integrated with Oracle's VirtualBox technology (it's called ShadowProtect VirtualBoot) which makes it SUPER easy to spin up a backup image as a VM and verify (read "TEST" in capital letters) whether you've got a solid backup of your Oracle DB. I'd hate to find out the day after the excrement/fan fiasco that my backups were unusable. Please test! (I'm cringing in my chair here.) Then let us know whether you agree with your boss.
Cheers!

Using Oracle Developer Suite 10g Without the Oracle Database

I have never used Oracle, but have used MS SQL Server 7. I need to learn Forms. An Oracle salesperson suggested I download Oracle Developer Suite 10g (the demo product). It includes the Oracle Developer Suite (with Forms Developer), and many other programs.
The salesperson said it includes a database server, but I suspect it does not. I only downloaded the package last night, and have begun to skim the documentation, but I see nothing that looks like a database server.
In SQL Server 7, the database engine is run as a service and you create and manage your tables (do all the database admin stuff) using SQL Enterprise Manager.
So, does this package include a database engine/server? Or must you also have the Oracle Database?
I don't see a demo version of the Oracle Database - is there one?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
The Developer Suite does not contain a demo version of the Oracle Database.
You can download the database from this page:

Alert mail configuration for backup / Oracle database

Hello All,
I am trying to configure alert mail for successful backup in the system and i have did with most of the configurations. The steps are as follows:
Configured mail in 000 client and also assigned mail id for a user
Configured the method CCMS_OnAlert_Email_V2 (set the parameters and its auto reaction method)
Configured the nodes CCMS Monitor templates -> Database -> Oracle -> Backup / restore -> backup status -> last brbackup run and last successful complete backup with the method CCMS_OnAlert_Email_V2 as mentioned in the SAP note 176492
And after these configurations we receive the mail successfuly. However there are few issues which i would like to get corrected / clarified. Whenever a backup is started i am receiving a mail stating that brbackup has been started and whenever a backup fails i am receving mail stating brbackup is failed with some return code. But i am not receiving any mail after successful completion of backup. Am i missing any configuraions here? Is this the standard one and other configurations required for mail on successful backup? Please suggest
Regards,

When should a message trigger an alert?
1.Always (at every message): The Alert Monitor triggers a alert with the corresponding message value for every message.
2.Message value (color) has changed: The Alert Monitor only triggers an alert if the alert color of a reported message changes. For example, an alert is triggered if a red message follows a yellow message.
3.The message sent has changed: The Alert Monitor only triggers an alert if the color or severity of a message changes or if a new message is sent.
4.Never: The Alert Monitor does not trigger any alerts.
As your requirement, I would suggest it to be set to "Always"
Please let us know how it works.

the cold backup goes after you applied any patch ,within E-Biz tech the
patch activity affect apps files too.

How to backup oracle database in C# application

Hi,
Could anyone please tell me about a full script that will backup my Oracle XE "Express" database. I have user schema and it has tables with data and I want to backup them. I hope someone tell me how. I want to do it inside a button so it can be easy for me to just press on button and it will continue its job. Thank you very much for your help.
Any method is appreciated from you. So I just need the way that I can do it. In Oracle forms I used to use exp but in C# I don't how.

ok
Even this is ODBC forum, you could check for $ORACLE_HOME/bin/Backup.bat ... analize that script. You could call it from c# with Process Class, and process.startinfo.

APEX without Oracle database?

Can you run apex without an oracle database?

Apex is a tightly integrated application development environment based largely around PLSQL. It is included in Oracle 10 XE so is a great free solution for small to medium scale applications. Its pretty straight forward to migrate to Apex from Excel, Access, SQL Server and Oracle Forms. Or you can use database links to pull heterogenous data from other database systems into oracle. For example, I recently developed an application pulling JD Edwards data, with a SQL Server backend, into an oracle XE instance.
So it doesn't matter where the original data is, you just need to have a free oracle XE instance in the mix. I would also suggest that if the app out grew XE's limitations it would most likely be significant enough to justify the cost of a license for a more beefy version of oracle.

Do I need to install Oracle database 12c on PC to create tables for Weblogic server

Hi,
I am new to WebLogic and I am following a book Java EE Development
with Eclipse published by PACKT Publishing to learn Java EE. I have installed Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse
on the PC and I am able to log into the WebLogic Server
Administration Console and set up a Data Source. However the next step is to create
tables for the database. The book says that the tables can be
created using SQL script run from the SQL command line.
I cannot see any way of inputting SQL script into the WebLogic
Server Admistration Console. Aslo there is no SQL Command line
in DOS.
I have put a previous question on the Oracle Forum about the above and I was advised to use SQL Plus
to create the tables for the weblogic server but no mention was made of installing Oracle database.
I have downloaded InstantClient SQL Plus and Instantclient Basic on a PC and
put the files into the same directory C:\SQLPlus but now I am having a problem in that it is
looking for a username and password when I run the sqlplus.exe file.
Now I assume that I need to have an installation of Oracle databse on the
PC so as to be able to use SQL Plus. Am I correct in this or can I create tables for the
datasource in weblogic without an Oracle database?
Thanks in advance for your help. Brian

You should install it separately and also need to change the OBIEE's user.sh to tell it where is your Oracle client installed.
