PL/SQL and Forms executable in Oracle 8i Lite ?

I've got 2 basic and important questions:
1.) Is it possible to store procedures with PL/SQL in a Oracle 8i Lite Database(Operating System Windows 2000)
2.) Are the normal Forms 6i - Applications executable on a Oracle 8i Lite Database.
(Operating System Windows 2000)

Regardless of which path you want to take, in order to get the OCP certification in either the DBA or PL/SQL developer track, you must first obtain the respective OCA certification for that track. I'm assuming that since you are still undecided in which path to take that you haven't started working on either yet. If you look at the pages for the OCA DBA and OCA PL/SQL Developer certs and what is required for each, you'll see that the first block of tests for either certification (the SQL based exams) has the same options (1Z0-007, 1Z0-047, 1Z0-051) and passing one of those SQL based exams gives credit towards obtaining both OCA certifications. That might be a good place to start.
Doing one of these tests first might give you some extra time to decide which track you want to pursue. But as Justin said, it really depends on what you do (or plan on doing) in your career as to which path might be more beneficial for you.
As for the OCM level stuff, I wouldn't even think about it until you get the OCP. One step at a time... Same with OCP before OCA. That being said, my suggestions are just that, suggestions. You're free to take any exams/courses in any order, but you won't be able to obtain the certs until you have completed the requirements for each.

  • Oracle Database 11g Administrator or Oracle PL/SQL and Forms Developer?

    Hi,
    I am thinking about doing an Oracle certification course- Oracle Database 11g Administrator or Oracle PL/SQL and Forms Developer.
    Oracle Database 11g OCP and OCM certification requires 3 mandatory training courses to be completed that costs between $1900 and $3250/each. Oracle PL/SQL certication doesn't require any mandatory training course.
    Which one of these would be a good choice? Please advise.
    Thank you,
    Tracy

  • What are the best books for PL/SQL and Forms for BEGINNERS?

    I asked about learning Oracle Forms in an earlier thread. Some suggested Oracle training at official Oracle Training centers like Koenig. I just went to the Koenig site. The OCA & OCP Forms Developer Training Boot Camp is a whopping 2,610 USD. That’s like 1/4 Million LKR. It’s more that the yearly salary of both the 2 new developers we got and want to train. That’s out of the question.
    Some have suggested shadowing experiences programmers and team coding. Both options are out, since those things don't work here.
    Learning from sites such as Francois Degrelle's blog is no good for new people since they will get confused.
    I have come to the conclusion that the only way to do is to buy 2 books, one for PL/SQL and another for Oracle Forms, give it to them and ask them to follow the book and learn it and also give a time period like 2 or 3 months.
    What are the good books out there for BEGINNERS to learn PL/SQL and Forms?

    In addition to the books the chapter Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals in the documentation is also worth giving a shot:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14251/toc.htm
    Just for the record: I believe leaving them alone with the books won't do it. I'd at least define objectives (e.g. $chapters of the books in a week) and after they achieved them I'd test their knowledge of the individual objectives (like it was back in school :p ). By that you have control over how they are proceeding, you can focus on the things they didn't understand and you are able to eradicate some bad habits they might adopt during their studies.
    If you don't take your time to train them proper you won't get good developers anyway and you will loose much more time and money...

  • Relinking Forms executable in Oracle 11i

    Hi Friends,
    I am facing an issue where after i starts the forms server using adfrmctl.sh, it works fine for a few hours after which i receive an FRM-92050 error in forms application. I have to restart the forms server again to get it back working and this cycle continues. Once i get the FRM-92050 error, i check the OS for the processes and f60srvm as well as 1-5 f60webmx processes are up & the forms port is listening as well(using netstat -an|grep 9000). No changes have been done to the environment. I am thinking about relinking the forms executable. Is the following command enough and will it affect any other binaries. Should i take a complete backup of the system before running the below statement.
    $ adrelink.sh force=y "fnd f60webmx"
    Thanks

    >
    The previous DBA over here had warned against running Adconfig on either db/application tier as there are some custom environment files in the system and this will be overwritten once autconfig is run.Are the customizations well-documented? If so, it should be possible to extract the customizations to templates or custom .env files, so they will not be overwritten by AutoConfig. You should probably consider finding out about those customizations anyway, or the next time that you apply a patch that invokes AutoConfig, you could be in trouble. :-)
    That's a side discussion, though. For your main issue, as Hussein suggests, it would be helpful to see the entire error message, not just the generic part.

  • Is it possible to use Oracle Forms 10g with Oracle 10g Lite Database?

    Hi All,
    We are in process of migrating our forms from 6i to 10g environment.
    We have two kinds of applications, one set run on general Oracle 11g database and the other set of forms run at the client machine using Oracle lite database.
    We dont have any problem with Forms 6i to connect to Lite database as it allows to connect through ODBC:DSN names. When we try to connect to a lite database (10gR3) from Forms 10g through ODBC/DSN, it's not allowing and throwing the below error.
    ORA-03121 : no interface driver connected - function not performed
    Can someone tell me if there is something wrong in our approach? Also advise how to use Oracle Lite database with Forms 10G.
    Sincerely,
    Praveen Manthena

    Hi,
    I have experience with 6i with lite database 10g. There are two version of lite database one is multi language support and other one in english. There lang problem in connectivity with multi language 10g lite database. I done connectivity with single language connectivity of 6i with 10g lite database. You should try this one with forms 10g.

  • Any difference in the dbms and jdbc drivers btw oracle 8i lite and 9i lite

    Is there any significant difference between oracle 8i lite and oracle 9i lite in terms of database and jdbc drivers?
    If not, it may be better off using oracle8i.

    According to Oracle , 9i lite is more powerful than 8i Lite.
    one thing, 8i Lite is not certified for windows 2000.

  • Question on Dynamic Query Data Source and Form Folders in Oracle Forms 6i

    Hi there -
    I have one interesting requirement in Oracle Forms.
    This is what I wanted to do.
    1. Have a LOV and Go button on Form.
    2. From LOV, I will select a pre-defined custom table and click Go.
    3. Based on the selected custom table, I have to populate the Block (Tabular Format).
    4. User should be able to do update, delete, insert on this block.
    5. User should be able to use the Oracle Form folders functionality (select only necessary column and save views etc. Std folder functionality).
    6. If user selects a different custom table name in the LOV on top, I need to refresh the data from the block based on this new table. Remaining functionality should be as it is (steps 3 to 5).
    You can see here, I am going to have dynamic query data source (Table Name as well as column mapping) on the block. I do not know before hand how many columns the user selected table has!
    This is what I have planned for this so far but I have some major questions before I can move on with this design:
    1. I am going to create a table structure with fixed number of column in form (40 cols assuming that the custom table will not have more that 40 cols). (Kind of limitation but it's okay as of now).
    2. Dynamically populate the block based on the table name selected by the user from LOV. Dynamically change the table column names based on the table selected etc.
    3. Perform insert, update, delete using PL/SQL package.
    So far it looks okay.
    Now my real question is,
    Can user still be able to user "Folders" functionality here? I have never done this kind of development before and I doubt the dynamic column naming, dynamic column data source will really work for "folders"!
    Also, I am not really sure whether user will be able to save these "folder" queries?
    Okay so form experts, can you ppl suggest me if this is really going to work? Are there any better ways to do this?
    Initially I tried to do this in OA Framework but I got stuck at because as per OAF developer guide "I cannot user OAF personalization for dynamic items, regions etc".
    For more info on that thread see this link...
    Re: setUserCustomizable issue!
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Any suggestion anyone?

  • Human Task Requirement and form design in Oracle 11g

    Dear Forum Users,
    A). Suppose there are 2 independent user tasks in a workflow and in between there is a automated task that does something with a back end call (to check or to retrieve so information or a decision). At a certain moment the first user task is started and finished. Normally speaking, when this task is finished, then the automated task is processed and the second task will be added to the worklist of that user (if he is authorised to process both user tasks). The user then can go back to the worklist, find the task and click on it to process. What is really required is that the user SHOULD NOT go back to the worklist and click and open the second task from the worklist.
    If the second user task can be handled by the same user as the first user task then is there a way to open it for him automatically ? (or via a popup) (so it looks as if it's a following screen)
    B). The form design issue is that there are more inputs on 1 line to give it a more natural appearance, like address inputs. It's a lot of work to get those things done with split screens etc. An example (in courier to get the alignment proper) ...... Is there an easy way out or standard way of doing this?

  • Differences between ANSI SQL and Oracle 8/9

    Hallo,
    i'm looking for good online texts or books concerning the problem "Differences between ANSI SQL and different database implementations (ORACLE, Informix, MySQL...)" I want to check a program written in C (with ESQL) that works with an Informix-DB. In this code i want to find code that is specific to the Informix-DB. I want to change the database, so all the code should be independent from a DB. Does anybody know texts or books concerning this problem?
    thx
    Marco Seum

    Basically there is syntax difference between both of them.
    Lets say i want to join two table EMP and DEPT based on DEPTNO.
    With Oracle SQL format its like this.
    select e.*
      from emp e, dept d
    where e.deptno = d.deptnoHere the joining condition goes in the WHERE clause.
    With ANSI SQL format its like this.
    select e.*
      from emp e
      join dept d
        on e.deptno = d.deptnoHere the join condition is mentioned separately and not in WHERE clause.
    Oracle supports ANSI SQL starting from 9i version.

  • Can We use FDM as ETL tool between SQL and Oracle

    Edited by: user12190125 on Nov 9, 2009 4:23 AM

    Rahul,
    I believe this is possible to do, but not an easy one and there are a few considerations:
    How much data are you processing? FDM has a lot of features which support the business process. While this is great for users and audit trail etc. it slows down performance if you want to process a lot of data. It also depends on the type of mappings you use (Like mappings are slower than explicit mappings).
    How familiar are you with VBScript? There is no explicit target adapter for Oracle, but there is a data mart adapter which can be used for anything. You have to implement everything yourself though, mainly the Export and Load actions. In there you will also have to handle the the connections to the MSSQL and Oracle databases.
    Check the data mart adapter and see if you feel comfortable with defining the vb code in there. There are reasons for and against this approach. ODI would probably be the better choice unless you really need to have FDM's process support.

    Matt
