There are several ways, such as ODBC or migration workbench, which is also mentioned in the current article on sqldeveloper on OTN, here's the link. If you use this forum's search function, you should find several threads regarding this topic.

thanks in advance

Can you check Metalink Note 376022.1? Your STREAMS_POOL_SIZE parameter may be too small.
If you don't have Metalink access, try this :
sql> alter system set STREAMS_POOL_SIZE=100M scope=spfile;
sql> shutdown immediate
sql> startup
Note : the Portal Applications forum may not be the appropriate forum for this datapump issue. Try one of the database forums as you'll have a wider audience there.

Need help, implementing streams between oracle 10g databases

Hello all.
Please help me, and give me instruction if any body implement streams between databases (Oracle 10g)
I have implemented streams between schema table on (10g) and result was success.
Firstly I want to know some thing, such as:
1) Is it possible make streams with conditions, (make only DML or DDL i know) but make DML and not DELETE operation, just INSERT and UPDATE operations on the table?
2) After changes was applied on target database, can I delete that records which copied (replicated) on source database?
I have 2 databases and one of them is for archive purpose (I want use it as target database for streams). Other one is PROD database, applications make DML operation.
I) record insert with null status
II) processing (status 1)
III) if success (status 2) unsuccess (status 3)
For now, I have cron script on (Linux host) and in this script has PLSQL anonymous block and it works couple times during the day. This script works as archive.
My task is: Make it via Oracle streams.
Thank you beforehand.

For conditions on the type of operation (Insert) check in the doc after apply handler and you can associate what ever code and conditions you want. You can also choose to work with a subset rules but there are some restriction as no lobs :

Help on Migration from DB2 version 8.1 to Oracle 10g

Hi All
We have one requirement of migrating one Mainframe database to Oracle 10g. the DB version is DB2 8.1 on Z OS. We are thinking of using Oracle Migration workbench. Can someome help me know if this is supported by OMWB tool or not. I checked in oracle site, they have mentioned some details about V4R5. Could not conclude. Please confirm this. Also let me know if there is any tool that we can use or we have to go manually. Any pointrs would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Prashant

OMWB nor its follow up product SQL Developer Migration workbench support DB2 z/OS migrations. You have to do them "manually".
For a manual migration you might use an Oracle Gateway which allows you to use an Oracle database link to the Db database and you can then use the gateway to copy the data from Db2 to Oracle. Another alternative would be to unload the DB2 data into an ascii file and to load it into the Oracle database using SQL*Loader. You might also use Golden Gate which is commonly used to replicate data between Oracle and DB2 - but it allows you also to use it as a migration utility.
There are also Oracle partners that can assist you with the migration - please have a look at:

Help needed with variable - trying to get data from Oracle using linked svr

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum - I just didn't know where to post it.
I'm trying to write a simple stored procedure to get data from an oracle database via a linked server in SQL Enterprise manager. I have no idea how to pass a variable to oracle.
Here's how I would get the variable in SQL:
declare @maxkey INTEGER
select @maxkey= MAX(keyfield) from [server].Data_Warehouse.dbo.mytable
select * from [server].Data_Warehouse.dbo.mydetailtable where keyfield=@maxkey
the select statement I need to do in oracle would use that variable like this:
select * from OPENQUERY(OracleLinkedServer,'select
* from ORACLEDB.TABLE where keyfield > @maxkey')
and I get this message: OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "OracleLinkedServer" returned message "ORA-00936: missing expression".
I realize that I can't pass the @maxkey variable to oracle - so how do I accomplish this?

Please refer the example in this link which deals with Oracle date format.
You can finnd a command DECODE which is used for date formats. If you have a look at whole theory then you will get an idea.

Oracle 10g Database startup problem Please help

i am trying to start database but getting error;
SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 281018368 bytes
Fixed Size 788776 bytes
Variable Size 229373656 bytes

ORA-16038: log 2 sequence# 44103 cannot be archived
ORA-19809: limit exceeded for recovery files
ORA-00312: online log 2 thread 1: 'D:\ORADATA\ASDB\REDO02.LOG'
Please guide and help
Thanks,
Waheed.

The error stack is interpreted as follows:
ORA-16038:     log string sequence# string cannot be archived
Cause:     An attempt was made to archive the named file, but the file could not be archived. Examine the secondary error messages to determine the cause of the error.
Action:     No action is required
ORA-19809:     limit exceeded for recovery files
Cause:     The limit for recovery files specified by the DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE was exceeded.
Action:     The error is accompanied by 19804. See message 19804 for further details.
ORA-19804:     cannot reclaim string bytes disk space from string limit
Cause:     Oracle cannot reclaim disk space of specified bytes from the DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE limit.
Action:     There are five possible solutions: 1) Take frequent backup of recovery area using RMAN. 2) Consider changing RMAN retention policy. 3) Consider changing RMAN archivelog deletion policy. 4) Add disk space and increase DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE. 5) Delete files from recovery area using RMAN.
ORA-00312:     online log string thread string: 'string'
Cause:     This message reports the filename for details of another message.
Action:     Other messages will accompany this message. See the associated messages for the appropriate action to take.
DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE specifies (in bytes) the hard limit on the total space to be used by target database recovery files created in the flash recovery area. You should increase this value.
On the other hand, out from the context I guessed it is a 10gRx database, but you should specify this on your thread, as well as specify os details.

<snip>The subject of this forum is Oracle databases. How does your problem relate to that subject?
Two bits of advice:
1) Make sure you ask questions in a forum related to your problem.
2) If you want to be taken seriously as a professional, drop the MS IM Speak and use the language of the forum. In this forum it is English, which is successfully used by many people for whom English is far from their native language.

Oracle to Mysql character set conversion problem!!! PLZ HELP

Hi Experts,
I have created a database link from Oracle 10g to Mysql 5.
I have installed Oracle Gateway 11g for this purpose.
When i retreive the data from sql plus the text is displayed as question marks.
Oracle 10g Database character set is WE8MSWIN1252
Mysql character set --->latin1
Character set of ODBC connector for mysql is latin7
Character set in the parameter file of HS folder is WE8MSWIN1252When i retrieve data from sql developer the text is fine(as i think it directly takes the character set of target) but
when i login from sqlplus i get question marks!
Appreciate your help,
regards

thank you for replying damorgan,
my previous two threads in the "heterogeneous Connectivity" forum were for different issues, one was to enquire as to how i could connect from oracle to mysql(which i have marked as answered), the other is for error when i get when i tried accessing data(which i am still facing on my office machine ).
I followed the steps from these two threads and was able to successfully connect to mysql on my personal PC at home, but faced some problem with text not displayed so i created this thread.
I had created another thread similar to this in the globalisation support as i was facing issue with the character sets in a heterogenous setup, so wasen't clear as to which forum would be suitable for this issue.
My apologies to everyone if this has offended you.

How to export oracle 10g data into parts (in excel or csv or txt)

is there any methods to export the data from oracle 10g in the form of excel or csc or txt. i already downloaded the sql developer tool but it only exports the data of upto one lakh rows ,but i have two tables of more than 3 lakh and 10 lakh rows respectively.for this i used where command to break the file through sql developer but that didnt work
plz help me out if any thing possible
i need to again import this data into microsoft sql if there is any direct method plz let me know

I wrote my own pl/sql tool to make csv upload/download tool, but the learning process is a bit painful and long, especially for beginner like me (end up using dynamic sql package because we pass in table name as parameter).
For your purpose, maybe the best way is to download a plug-in for Excel that can connect to your Oracle DB. There are many such products so you need to google around. For me, no need right now.
Another option is to use a commercial tool like Toad, or other products from same company.

Oracle 10g ODBC driver with Windows 7 32 bit connecting to Excel

Hi Everyone,
I'm having an issue connecting to our oracle 10g database (64 bit system) from a 32 bit windows 7 installation running excel 2010/2007 using odbc drivers. Our excel spreadsheets worked without issue in windows xp.
In windows 7 I have been able to install the odbc driver via the following method:
1. Download the oracle 'basic' client and oracle 'odbc' client from www.oracle.com and extract the contents:
instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115
instantclient-odbc-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115
2. Create a folder 'oracle' and place the instantclient_10_2 folder inside.
3. Ensure all the basic and odbc files reside in this folder.
4. Create a 'network' folder within instantclient_10_2
5. Create an 'admin' folder within 'network'
6. Create sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files within the 'admin' folder:
7. Run 'obdc_install' within the instantclient_10_2 folder
8. Download and run the oracle odbc driver exe file from www.oracle.com (ORA10203.exe)
9. Go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources and create a new System DN
This allows excel spreadsheets connecting ONLY to oracle to function.
Unfortunately some of our spreadsheets connect to both a MySQL database as well as oracle. Spreadsheets connecting only to MySQL also function correctly, however, as soon as the vb associated with a spreadsheet includes a mysql call followed by an oracle call the spreadsheets fail. In Excel 2007 excel crashes completely everytime. In Excel 2010 the mysql data is generated, then when the script hits to oracle odbc connection there is a long pause, the oracle ODBC driver connect pops up requesting a username/password (this didn't happen in xp), then the data source selection pops up, then the username/password connect screen pops up again, and finally it fails with a runtime error '1004' General ODBC error.
If you look at the VB script it's failing at the Refresh BackgroundQuery statement in the ODBC connection block:
With Worksheets("Oracle1").QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"ODBC;DSN=Oracle_ODBC;UID=user;PWD=password;SERVER=ORACLE_LINUX;", _
Destination:=Worksheets("Oracle1").Range("A1"))
.CommandText = strSql
.Name = "Oracle1_data"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlOverwriteCells
.SavePassword = True
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.PreserveColumnInfo = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
Does anyone know how to get around this? It's very important!!
Also if you try to edit the oracle ODBC connections in Control Panels -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources, ODBC crashes 95% of the time.
Advice greatly appreciated!!

Well, here's what I'd check anyway..
1) get Process Explorer from http://sysinternals.com
2) make a mysql connection, get a list of dll's loaded (include the location and version columns in the lower pane output)
3) close that, then make an ora odbc connection, get a list of dlls.
4) close that, then make a mysql connection followed by an ora odbc connection, get a list of dlls
5) compare the lists of loaded dlls. In particular, the difference between #3 and #4, is there a dll dependency that gets loaded by oracle's odbc that comes from a different location when you've opened a mysql connection first?
May or may not help, but might turn up a difference to help point you in a direction.

Instant Client Connection Problem - Excel 2007 to Oracle 10g

Dear users,
I would some help to connect Excel to Oracle.
I am using Excel 2007 (32-bit) on Windows Vista Enterprise 64-bit. I want to connect to an Oracle 10g database through our local network using ODBC. I need to fetch some data once into an excel sheet.
There are no firewall issues or connection issues between my current machine , as I can connect from my machine, using SQL developer as a local client to the Oracle Database which is on another machine on the network.
I tried to make an ODBC connection but Oracle is not listed as a driver.
I beleive ODBC is the best way to do this, but please correct me if I am wrong.
It is an Oracle 10G database.
I downloaded instantclient-basiclite-windows.x64-11.2.0.2.0.zip a
I also downloaded the extra ODBC components: *Instant Client Package - ODBC: Additional libraries for enabling ODBC applications.
I unzipped both in a folder called C:\instantclient_11_2
The system path included that. I checked after rebooting.
I placed my tnsnames.ora (which I copied from the server) in that folder.
I got ti from the server : D:\Oracle\Ora10gR2DB\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
I ran the exe "odbc_install" and It told me the ODBC was intalled successfully.
When I went the control panel, administrative tools, ODBC
In the user dsn tab
I added a new entry. I chose the Oracle driver (previously it was not in the list)
Used the following values
Data Source name: OracleL
Description 123
TNS Service NAme: I chose fro ma drop down menu our prod environment. (There are two entries with the production name, one in caps and the other in lowercase)
Userid: my username
I tried Test the connection and got this:
Unable to Connect
SQlState=S1000
[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
Any suggestions please.
Thnaks in advance.
A.
Thanks for all your help, in advance.
Akajohn.

You probably should remove current ic packages and get the 32-bit ones instead.
Start over.

you have to do it using ODBC HS.
1. Configure ODBC connection through gateway.
