You can create one process, and call that process many times from any other process.
Effectively, each process becomes a module.
You need to be wary of transaction boundaries when calling processes from other processes. Check out the documentation for explanations of this.

The Buzz from Microsoft Ignite 2015
NetApp was in full force at the recent Microsoft Ignite show in Chicago, talking about solutions for hybrid cloud, and our proven solutions for Microsoft SQL Server and other Microsoft applications.
Hot topics at the NetApp booth included:
OnCommand® Shift. A revolutionary technology that lets you move virtual machines back and forth between VMware and Hyper-V environments in minutes.
Azure Site Recovery to NetApp Private Storage. Replicate on-premises SAN-based applications to NPS for disaster recovery in the Azure cloud.
These tools give you greater flexibility for managing and protecting important business applications.

Director, EIS Technical Marketing, NetApp
If your organization runs databases such as Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle DB, you probably know that these vendors primarily license their products on a "per-core" basis. Microsoft recently switched to "per-core" rather than "per-socket" licensing for SQL Server 2012 and 2014. This change can have a big impact on the total cost of operating a database, especially as core counts on new servers continue to climb. It turns out that the right storage infrastructure can drive down database costs, increase productivity, and put your infrastructure back in balance.
In many customer environments, NetApp has noticed that server CPU utilization is low—often on the order of just 20%. This is usually the result of I/O bottlenecks. Server cores have to sit and wait for I/O from hard disk drives (HDDs). We've been closely studying the impact of all-flash storage on SQL Server environments that use HDD-based storage systems. NetApp® All Flash FAS platform delivers world-class performance for SQL Server plus the storage efficiency, application integration, nondisruptive operations, and data protection of clustered Data ONTAP®, making it ideal for SQL Server environments.
Tests show that All Flash FAS can drive up IOPS and database server CPU utilization by as much as 4x. And with a 95% reduction in latency, you can achieve this level of performance with half as many servers. This reduces the number of servers you need and the number of cores you have to license, driving down costs by 50% or more and paying back your investment in flash in as little as six months.

Whether you're running one of the newer versions of SQL Server or facing an upgrade of an earlier version, you can't afford not to take a second look at your storage environment.
End of Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is Rapidly Approaching
Microsoft has set the end of extended support for SQL Server 2005 for April 2016—less than a year away. With support for Microsoft Windows 2003 ending in July 2015, time may already be running short.
If you're running Windows Server 2003, new server hardware is almost certainly needed when you upgrade SQL Server. Evaluate your server and storage options now to get costs under control.
Test Methodology
To test the impact of flash on SQL Server performance, we replaced a legacy HDD-based storage system with an All Flash FAS AFF8080 EX. The legacy system was configured with almost 150 HDDs, a typical configuration for HDD storage supporting SQL Server. The AFF8080 EX used just 48 SSDs.
Table 1) Components used in testing.

The test configuration consisted of 10 database servers connected through fibre channel to both the legacy storage system and the AFF8080 EX. Each of the 10 servers ran SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition.
The publicly available HammerDB workload generator was used to drive an OLTP-like workload simultaneously from each of the 10 database servers to storage. We first directed the workload to the legacy storage array to establish a baseline, increasing the load to the point where read latency consistently exceeded 20ms.
That workload was then directed at the AFF8080 EX. The change in storage resulted in an overall 20x reduction in read latency, a greater than 4x improvement in IOPS, and a greater than 4x improvement in database server CPU utilization.
Figure 2) NetApp All Flash FAS increases IOPS and server CPU utilization and lowers latency.
Source: NetApp, 2015
In other words, the database servers are able to process four times as many IOPS with dramatically lower latency. CPU utilization goes up accordingly because the servers are processing 4x the work per unit time.
The All Flash FAS system still had additional headroom under this load.
Calculating the Savings
Let's look at what this performance improvement means for the total cost of running SQL Server 2014 over a 3-year period. To do the analysis we used NetApp Realize, a storage modeling and financial analysis tool designed to help quantify the value of NetApp solutions and products. NetApp sales teams and partners use this tool to assist with return on investment (ROI) calculations.
The calculation includes the cost of the AFF8080 EX, eliminates the costs associated with the existing storage system, and cuts the total number of database servers from 10 to five. This reduces SQL Server licensing costs by 50%. The same workload was run with five servers and achieved the same results. ROI analysis is summarized in Table 2.

The takeaway here is that you can replace your existing storage with All Flash FAS and get a big performance bump while substantially reducing your costs, with the majority of the savings derived from the reduction in SQL Server licensing costs.

Maximum SQL Server 2014 Performance
In addition to the ROI analysis, we also measured the maximum performance of the AFF8080 EX with SQL Server 2014. A load-generation tool was used to simulate an industry-standard TPC-E OLTP workload against an SQL Server 2014 test configuration.
A two-node AFF8080 EX achieved a maximum throughput of 322K IOPS at just over 1ms latency. For all points other than the maximum load point, latency was consistently under 1ms and remained under 0.8ms up to 180K IOPS.
Data Reduction and Storage Efficiency
In addition to performance testing, we looked at the overall storage efficiency savings of our SQL Server database implementation. The degree of compression that can be achieved is dependent on the actual data that is written and stored in the database. For this environment, inline compression was effective. Deduplication, as is often the case in database environments, provided little additional storage savings and was not enabled.
For the test data used in the maximum performance test, we measured a compression ratio of 1.5:1. We also tested inline compression on a production SQL Server 2014 data set to further validate these results and saw a 1.8:1 compression ratio.
Space-efficient NetApp Snapshot® copies provide additional storage efficiency benefits for database environments. Unlike snapshot methods that use copy-on-write, there is no performance penalty; unlike full mirror copies, NetApp Snapshot copies use storage space sparingly. Snapshot copies only consume a small amount of storage space for metadata and additional incremental space is consumed as block-level changes occur. In a typical real-world SQL Server deployment on NetApp storage, database volume Snapshot copies are made every two hours.
First introduced more than 10 years ago, NetApp FlexClone® technology also plays an important role in SQL Server environments. Clones are fully writable, and, similar to Snapshot copies, only consume incremental storage capacity. With FlexClone, you can create as many copies of production data as you need for development and test, reporting, and so on. Cloning is a great way to support the development and test work needed when upgrading from an earlier version of SQL Server. You'll sometimes see these types of capabilities referred to as "copy data management."
A Better Way to Run Enterprise Applications
The performance benefits that all-flash storage can deliver for database environments are significant: more IOPS, lower latency, and an end to near-constant performance tuning.
If you think the performance acceleration that comes with all-flash storage is cost prohibitive, think again. All Flash FAS doesn't just deliver a performance boost, it changes the economics of your operations, paying for itself with thousands in savings on licensing and server costs. In terms of dollars per IOPS, All Flash FAS is extremely economical relative to HDD.
And, because All Flash FAS runs NetApp clustered Data ONTAP, it delivers the most complete environment to support SQL Server and all your enterprise applications with capabilities that include comprehensive storage efficiency, integrated data protection, and deep integration for your applications.
For complete details on this testing look for NetApp TR-4303, which will be available in a few weeks. Stay tuned to Tech OnTap for more information as NetApp continues to run benchmarks with important server workloads including Oracle DB and server virtualization.

Hi pjoracle2,
I am on Linux (but not Ubuntu)
My JAVA_HOME is /home/turloch/jdk1.5.0_06 my path to java is /home/turloch/jdk1.5.0_06/bin
I tried altering sqldeveloper.conf:
SetJavaHome /home/turloch/jdk1.5.0_06
worked for me but setting this to
SetJavaHome /home/turloch/jdk1.5.0_06/bin
did not work for me.
(also setting the JAVA_HOME environmental variable to /home/turloch/jdk1.5.0_06 helped)
I also tried action suggested by the prompt ,Type the full pathname of a J2SE installation (or Ctrl-C to quit) (I entered:
/home/turloch/jdk1.5.0_06
which worked for me (I had the PATH to the Java executable set already))

SQL DEVELOPER QUIT UNEXPECTEDLY

Hi Folks,
I recently downloaded all the packages of Oracle Instant Client 11.2 from Oracle and installed them on MAC PRO OSX 10.6, I had an error as "Status : Failure -Test failed: no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path" every time I use TNS and this has been resolved by checked the OCI thin driver option on Tools-Database-Advance, now when I start the developer from the command line to use the Oracle Home Instant OCI, the developer quit unexpectedly with the the following log report.
I made sure that the environments as ORACLE_HOME, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, SQLPATH, PATH, and TNS_ADMIN are set correctly.
Please help?
Please note that the log is very big which i can't attach all of the contents in the post, let me know you still want me to upload.

Hi,
This seems similar to a side-issue noted in this thread...
ObjectViewer (data grid) paste error
The solution for that specific issue was to copy the ojdbc6.jar from the instant client to the SQL Developer installation's
.../sqldeveloper/jdbc/lib directoryNot certain if that is the exact equivalent on a Mac, but there you have the general approach.
Hope this helps,

Is SQL Developer 1.5.1.54.40 compatible with older versions of Oracle DB?

I have SQL Developer 1.2.1 on one machine (this has Oracle installed on the PC) and SQL Developer 1.5.1.54.40 on another (this does not have Oracle installed on it)
I have set the same 3 database environments on both versions using Basic connection. They have exactly the same Host IP addresses and Port numbers and service names. I am using the same logins and passwords on the PCs.
When I test these 3 connections on the PC with 1.2.1, the test is successful
When I test on the PC with 1.51, the test succeeds with one of the connections which is on Oracle 9i, and fails on the remaining 2 connections which are on Oracle 8i=The Failure message I get is: "+*Failure: Test Failed. Unsupported Oracle Database Version*+"

Unfortunately for your 8i DBs, there is a note in the [release notes|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/files/relnotes_v151.html] that says:
The JDBC drivers shipped are 11g R1. This means that users will no longer be able to connect to an Oracle 8.1.7 database.

Viewing Chinese Characters / Encoding setting in SQL Developer

Hi all,
I am new to SQL Developer 1.1. I have just downloaded the tool yesterday.
I have a table where there "should" be chinese characters in a NVARCHAR2 column. But I see only inverted question marks when displaying that data in SQL Developer.
I know from a ressource on the web, that SQL Developer is able to display chinese characters ( see http://awads.net/wp/2006/07/06/sql-developer-and-utf8/ ).
The NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET is set to AL16UTF16; the NLS_CHARACTER_SET is set to WE8ISO8859P1.
The encoding under Tools->Preferences->Environment is set to "Cp1252".
What is actually the influence of this Encoding setting and do I have to make changes to that to view the data?
In addition I have to admit, that we actually do not really know if the data entered the DB correctly, that is as chinese characters. Maybe there have occured conversion errors that were made in a application that writes the data into the database. Actually I want to verify that. So, if I have the right settings configured which should be fine to see chinese characters and then I see only inverted question marks I can conclude that the data actually entered the database corrupted and the error is not an display issue with SQL Developer but rather an error in the application that writes the data to the database.
Thanks to any answers in advance!

Philipp Hinnah

Tables / Procedures not shown in SQL Developer.

Hi,
I recently downloaded SQL developer 1.5 and installed it.
The created few connections to the various environments I use.
Though this version does not work with 8i it works with 10g
The problem I' facing is that, under connections- the tables, procedures and packages all return blank. The tree structure returns nothing.
Where as I'm able to use the advance search and view the tables, and query the tables, by putting the correct schema before it. However in the tree structure it is not showing me any tables.
Can someone help me on this.
Thanks,
Thejas

Installing sql developer

I have downloaded sql developer and while installing it was asking for the java path to be specified and on providing the java path(c:\Program Files (x86)\java\jre6\bin\java.exe) , it was raising the error saying
"Cannot find a J2SE SDK installed at path (c:\Program Files (x86)\java\jre6.)
Request you guys to let me know the possible solution or an workaround for the same.
Advance Thanks
Vamsi

Hi,
J2SE SDK -> Java 2 Standard Edition Software Development Kit, aka, the JDK -> Java Development Kitas opposed to the
JRE -> Java Runtime Environmentis what SQL Developer needs to run. Try installing the latest Java 6 update (jdk1.6.0_35).
SQL Developer and Java 7 don't play well together (yet).

Missing Java Classes in Oracle SQL Developer

Hello,
I'm pretty new to Oracle (As a DBA) and very new to Java. I just refreshed our training environment and after the refresh, noticed under the Java folder within Oracle SQL Devloper that the Java Classes were missing.
Can someone tell me how I can repopulate these classes?
Any information would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you K,
The Java Classes are not present under the SYS user and I'm not sure how to get them back. They do exist within our production and development environments.

Oracle SQL Developer (Not seeing object names within the interface)

Hello,
I was finally able to perform an export/import from our production environment to our training environment. Anyway, this was done using the SYS account and for some reason, I have an issue where in Oracle SQL Developer, there are no object names being displayed, but the objects do exist within SQLPLUS if I should query the table.
The following error message displays when I refresh any of the objects folders within SQL Developer:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I'm pretty new to the Oracle DBA space but not to SQL Server Ah. The first thing you need to do is check everything you think you know about rdbms at the door. The similarity between SQL Server and Oracle ends right after SELECT * FROM EMP.
Even the term "database" has different meanings.
First thing I see, in your original post, is that you did the export/import as SYS. Was this "as sysdba"?
From Oracle® Database Utilities
10g Release 2 (10.2):
Invoking Export and Import As SYSDBA
SYSDBA is used internally and has specialized functions; its behavior is not the same as for generalized users. Therefore, you should not typically need to invoke Export or Import as SYSDBA, except in the following situations:
* At the request of Oracle technical support
* When importing a transportable tablespace set
so it's quite possible that I missed something during the import/export of the environments.
Are there any system tables that get invoked when you click on any of the objects within the connection?

SQL Developer, UTF8 Oracle DB, extended ascii characters appear as blocks

I have this value stored on the database:
(Gestion Económica o Facturaci
Notice the second word has an extended ascii character in it. When I use SQL Developer on my windows machine to view the data, I get a box in place of the o, kinda like this:
(Gestion Econ�mica o Facturaci
If I log on to the AIX server where the oracle database in question is and run sqlplus from there, I see things properly. I also managed to regedit oracle home to get sql plus on my windows machine to display this properly. I still cannot get sql developer to work though...

This problem is quite strange in that when I've been able to manually set American_america.utf8, things work.Sorry to say, but it seems you may have an incorrect setup.
In general, you should set char set part of NLS_LANG to let Oracle know the code page used by the client. With win-1252, NLS_LANG should include .WE8MSWIN1252.
The display from sqlplus was "lying", due to incorrectly stored data coupled by incorrect nls_lang setting (char set part). The pass-through or gigo scenario can be dangerous this way. Search the Globalization forum for the term 'pass-through' for previous discussions on the theme.
The setting on AIX servers may be incorrect as well, but it depends how you use it (e.g. for database export or data load with utf-8 encoded files it may be correct).
The output of the query you recommended looks odd to me:
(Gestion Econ�mica o Facturaci     Typ=1 Len=30 CharacterSet=UTF8:
28,47,65,73,74,69,6f,6e,20,45,63,6f,6e,f3,6d,69,63,61,20,6f,20,46,61,63,74,75,72,61,63,69;This is the telling part. The 0xF3 is not legal in UTF8. Actually, the code units for ó, U+00F3 Latin small letter o with acute, are C3 B3. So instead of f3 you should have expected c3,b3 from the dump output.
>
So it looks like what's under the covers is correct, but I'm still not seeing the correct character in sql developer.The opposite is true. Data is incorrectly stored and SQL Developer is correctly showing you this. Sqlplus is not the best tool in Unicode environments, SQL Developer is better.
>
ACP according to my windows registry is 1252. OEMCP is 437Also, if you use database clients in console mode (such as sqlplus), NLS_LANG should include .US8PC437 to properly indicate that code page in use is 437.

Able to connect via Oracle SQL Developer, but not sql plus

Using Oracle 10.2.0.
I can connect using the TNS connection type in SQL Developer, but cannot do so in SQL PLUS. SQL Plus gives me the error -- could not resolve the connect identifier.
When I do tnsping USPO_ADHOC, I get:
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION =
TNS-12533: TNS:illegal ADDRESS parameters
So here is my tnsnames.ora file:
INTL_ADHOC =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.239.162.108)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = intl1)
USSYN_ADHOC =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.239.162.109)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = USSYN)
USPO_ADHOC =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.239.162.107)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = uspo)
Any assistance gratefully appreciated. Thanks.

I actually did not have that environmental variable, so I added it, but nothing changed.
I would note that if I do tnsping foo, I get: failed to resolve name.
If I do tnsping USPO_ADHOC, I get: illegal address parameter.
In both cases, the output correctly identified the path to my sqlnet.ora file, which is in the same directory as my tnsnames.
So I would conclude from that, that the system was already able to find my tnsnames file.
Anyway, here's my sqlnet.ora:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
Thanks again for any ideas!

SQL Developer Data Modeler Repository

Hi,
I would like to know how to save all my applications into the Data Modeler Repository instead of doing it piece by piece and having to create a dmd file for every single application I imported into Data Modeler.
In Oracle Designer, everything is in the repository and I can run reports against the tables and views belonging to that repository. So, I can produce a pdf documentation out of it. Can we do the same with Data Modeler?
Thank you!

Hello Anonymous,
I'll start with your first comment - "I would like to know how to save all my applications into the Data Modeler Repository ". The Repository is just for reporting purposes, as Dimitar points outs, so saving all your applications in the Data Modeler is merely File - Save. This action saves the current design (with all its models) to the file system. The main premise here is that the Data Modeler is a file based product and all models and designs are saved locally to the file system. This is a positive move for many customers who are now building applications in Java or using any of the application development environments that work with a variety of files. They are taking all the artifacts and placing them under version control using open source versing tools like Subversion. Using the Data Modeler, they can do the same.
For reporting you have a choice, one of which has also been explained. The action of creating a schema before you export the design is a one off step. Following on from this you can export new versions of the model to the same repository. The reason we did this was that many of the Designer audience wanted to write and run their own reports. So here you have a set of tables that you can write whatever SQL query you want to use.
The other reporting option is to use the integrated reports in the product and you do not have to export the design or open another product or write SQL.
Have you used the Design Rules in the Data Modeler? These are a set of "reports" for quality assurance purposes. There are many of these reports at all levels of the design which verify that your model is defined according to a set of database rules and general business rules and if you like, you can add your own rules.
I attended ODTUG last week in LA and was really pleased to listen to a number of talks by well seasoned Designer users who have successfully transitioned to the Data Modeler and who had many positive experiences.
Yes, the tools are different - but the one tool was not designed to replace the other - Data Modeler does none of the application design and generation that Designer does, those customers who have wanted to replace one tool (people are moving to the data Modeler from different tools) with the Data Modeler, have reported to me that they are pleased with the change.

SQL Developer install problems for Windows 7 Home edition

Hi there,
I understand Windows 7 64-bit is not supported for oracle 11gR2 but I installed it anyway.
This is not my problem.
I am trying to install SQL Developer and am getting this error when I click on the set up:
Unable to launch the Java Virtual machine, located at path:
C:\Program Files(x86)Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin\msvcr71.dll
When I check the version of my java it is correctly displaying 1.6.0_21 for my 64 bit.
I read that you need the 32 bit one installed as well and I do. In my Program Files there is a java and a \jdk1.6.0_21 folder. In the bin directory it does not have this .dll:
msvcr71.dll
Is that the problem, because i have heard of other people getting sql developer working on their Windows 7 home laptops but they are old posts and I'm not getting any reply.
I also changed the Environmental variable for the path, such as:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21 /bin
and none of the 3 above worked for me either.
Any suggestions are appreciated!

I unzipped the sql developer download to C:\Windows and it unzipped fine. I went into my folder of sql developer, double clicked the sql developer.exe and it asked for the path for java. I clicked Browse and the default was C:\Program Files(x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin so I chose the java from this folder. It accepted the argument, tried to start sql developer, and came up with the same error, so something is still not right that I am not understanding??

SQLPATH environment variable not read by Sql Developer

Does anyone know why Sql Developer doesn't seem to read the SQLPATH environment variable? I've googled this situation quite a bit with no luck. Am frankly very confused...How can Sql Developer not have the ability to read from the SQLPATH environment variable?
Considering all the scripts out there that have been written for Sql*Plus, with the assumption that the SQLPATH variable has been set to allow for multiple directories?
I feel like I'm just missing something in Tools->Preferences in Sql Developer. I just can't see what it is. As a side note, my overall intention is to enable my team members to run the db build scripts from Sql Developer, rather than Sql*Plus...
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The closest equivalent is Tools|Preferences|Database|Worksheet|Select default path to look for scripts, but supports only a single directory.
This parameter takes multiple directories. For example in Windows the separation character is ";" . The chooser only allows one directory to be chosen at a time - but multiple paths can be typed in.
SQLPATH reads the environmental variable (it may not read the windows registry setting).
set SQLPATH=C:\Documents and Settings\THE_USER\first;C:\Documents and Settings\THE_USER\second
@first
(reads first.sql from C:\Documents and Settings\THE_USER\first)
@second
(reads second.sql from C:\Documents and Settings\THE_USER\second)
Is that sufficient?
If there is a bug to be logged please provide more details:
Including:
-OS
-SQLPATH (environmental variable or set via preferences)
-worksheet command
-.sql file / reproducible test case
