  • Upgrading from Oracle 10G standard edition to Oracle 10G enterprise edition

    Hi
    I want to upgrade from Oracle 10G standard edition to Oracle 10G enterprise edition. Is there any script provided by oracle which I can run on existing Oracle 10G standard edition to upgrade to enterprise edition after completing the licensing formalities or do I need to install Oracle 10g Enterprise edition from scratch and then migrate my data.
    Ramanbir S

    You will not need to perform any data migration to upgrade to EE. The diffetence between standard en enerprise editions are the features offered. When you upgrade you can use the same set of files you used to install standard edition and just add the enterprise edition features you want to use in the 'Custom' section of the Universal Installer.

  • Connect Oracle 10g and OWB to SQL Server 2005 in Windows XP

    I am unable to create a working connection between Oracle 10g and a SQL Server database. I have followed the instructions in several sources, but when I attempt to connect to the MSSQL database through SQL Plus or SQL Developer, I get the ORA-03135 error. I set up a non-Oracle location in OWB and the connection test was successful but the metadata would not import. Creating an Oracle location with the same parameters produced the ORA-03135 error.
    In TNSNAMES.ORA I placed the following definition:
    MSSQL =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = wgilt1.hsd1.nj.comcast.net)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = MSSQL)
         (HS = OK)
    In LISTENER.ORA I placed the following in the SID_LIST_LISTENER:
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME = MSSQL)
    (ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2)
    (PROGRAM = hsodbc)
    The inimssql.ora file contains the following:
    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = MSSQL
    HS_DB_NAME = MSSQL
    HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = ON
    HS_FDS_TRACE_FILE_NAME = c:\hs_fds_mssql.log
    What is missing?

    could be a copy paste issue, but please make sure the tnsnames.ora has at least on space in from of each line after the alias.
    In addition what is the listener status? Please post the output of lsnrctl status <listener name>.
    Need to know also the output of: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2\bin\hsodbc

  • Mail advantages in upgrading to Oracle 10g

    Since in the company I work in we're still using Oracle 8.1.7 and I'd like to advise to upgrade to Oracle 10g, in addition of assistence advantages (since 8.1.7 is no longer supported), could you tell me briefly which are the main technical advantages from the viewpoint of Pl/Sql programming as a whole? I have to to write up a document where to point out the advantages we could get by upgrading to 10g. For example up to now I've thought of: dbms_scheduler, further sql for analisys.
    Bye!

I don't understand PHB's that can't seem to grasp that. They want the latest whiz-bang hardware, the latest eye-candy Windows on their desktop, they will keep server OS's reasonably current, but for some reason they think nothing of letting their rdbms go decades out of support. Do they not understand they are betting their company's survival on out of support software?

  • External table in Oracle 10g and Windows server 2003 problem

    I'm having a problem accessing an external table in an Oracle 10g and Windows 2003 server environment. The disk is remote (mapped) to the server. It's the usual access errors, kup-04001 or kup-04063.
    I have the [seemingly] exact same setup in an Oracle 9i and Windows 2000 server environment which works perfectly. Services run as local SYSTEM and SYSTEM has full permissions on the disk. Directories exist and so do the permissions to the directories.
    In the Oracle 10g and Windows 2003 environment, services run as local SYSTEM and SYSTEM has full permissions on the mapped disk. Directories exist and so do the permissions to the directories.
    This obviously effects mappings, deployments, etc.
    Does anyone know if something changed in either the db or the os?
    Thank you,
    Michael

    Thank you for your reply.
    Your proposal is the standard solution. As a matter of fact, that's how it is on my "old" system. Server "A" Oracle services are started by SYSTEM. Server "B" Oracle services are started by SYSTEM and is where the flat files reside. SYSTEM has full permissions on a disk local to Server "B". Database directoriies defined on Server "A" point to Server "B" remote disk. External Tables on Server "A" are defined with directories that point to Server "B" remote (mapped) disk. I have no problems with this configuration.
    I'm having a problem acheiving the same configuration with Oracle 10g and Windows 2003. I guess I'm baffled over the fact it isn't working the same way as my "old" environment. Why shouldn't it? Oracle (and you) want me to start services as a specific user. It shouldn't have to be that way unless something changed in the way the database makes calls to the os or if Microsoft slipped something in with one of it's numerous security patches.

  • Oracle 10G and SGA

    Hi,
    i've a question about Oracle 10G and their SGA. When I do in SQLplus show sga, I get for example:
    SQL> show sga
    Total System Global Area 167772160 bytes
    Fixed Size 1247900 bytes
    Variable Size 58721636 bytes
    Database Buffers 104857600 bytes
    Redo Buffers 2945024 bytes
    when finding other parameter I get always '0', this was not in other releases...
    SQL> show parameter pool
    shared_pool_size big integer 0
    java_pool_size big integer 0
    large_pool_size big integer 0
    olap_page_pool_size big integer 0
    SQL> show parameter db_cache
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    db_cache_advice string ON
    db_cache_size big integer 0
    It seems that I have no control over setting those parameters, I remember at installation time it gave a % of the pc memory would be used, has it something to do with that? Can you chose between the automatic SGA-management and setting it by yourself?
    thanks
    greets

    Hi,
    I also find some trace files under my udump-dir, has this also to do with the SGA?

    Version 9.2.04.
    Server "A" Oracle services are started by SYSTEM. Server "B" Oracle services are started by SYSTEM and is where the flat files reside. SYSTEM has full permissions on a disk local to Server "B". Database directoriies defined on Server "A" point to Server "B" remote disk. External Tables on Server "A" are defined with directories that point to Server "B" remote (mapped) disk.

  • Installing oracle 10g and 11g client  on the same Linux RHEL 5.4 host

    Is it possible to install Oracle 10g and 11g client on the same Linux RHEL 5.4 host and have the application switch between 10g and 11g? and how would the 10g and 11g be installed?

    Thanks for your reply.
    Typeically if 10g is installed in /home/roacle/product/10.2.0, are you saying that for 11g, it would be /home/oracle/product/11.0.0 ?
    How about switching the application? Does changing the ORACLE_HOME and PATH environment variable setting enough ? Let's say from
    ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/product/10.2.0/client_1 to /home/oracle/product/11.0.0/client_1

  • Client transport  between SAP on Oracle 10G and MS SQL server 2005

    Hi Folks,
    We have a requirement where we have to do client export/import from SAP ECC 6.O running on Oracle 10g and to SAP ECC 6.0 running on MS SQL server 2005.I want to know whether SAP supports this and patch levels of all components two systems should be the same.
    Thanks in advance,
    Basis Admin

    Not recommendet because of potential :
    -  patch level inconsistency
    - ABAP dictionary inconsistency (programs, tables)
    - possible client independent configuration conflicts
        existing config cen disturb "imported" client
        imported config can ddisturb  existing clients
    If there are any inconsistencies mentioned above you are in trouble...

  • Installing Oracle 10g and error with DISPLAY value

    Hello, I am instaling Oracle 10g and when I run:

    this error apear:
    Can't connect to X11 window server using :0.0 as the value of DISPLAY variable.
    how must I set de DISPLAY variable if I have instaling in a local system?
    Thanks

    Can't connect to X11 window server using :0.0 as the value of DISPLAY variable.you apparently set the display correctly (:0:0) if you are installing locally.
    You could do a xhost + as user531326 if you did not start your X session as oracle

  • Will Oracle 10g and Oracle XE happily co-exist on same machine?

    I can't seem to find anything specifically saying that Oracle 10g and Oracle XE can be installed on the same Windows machine. The only reason I'd want to do this is that I originally had the free version on my Windows machine. The uninstaller nevers seems to run a complete job and always leaves bits over. So I'd like to install Oracle 10g alongside Oracle XE.
    Wondered if anybody had done this already?

    to uninstall Oracle, do the following:
    1. Uninstall all Oracle components using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI).
    2. Run regedit.exe and delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE key. This contains registry entires for all Oracle products.
    Delete any references to Oracle services left behind in the following part of the registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Ora*
    It should be pretty obvious which ones relate to Oracle.
    4. Reboot your machine.
    5. Delete the "C:\Oracle" directory, or whatever directory is your ORACLE_BASE.
    6. Delete the "C:\Program Files\Oracle" directory.
    7. Empty the contents of your "c:\temp" directory.
    8. Empty your recycle bin.
    At this point your machine will be as clean of Oracle components as it can be.
    Remember, manually editing your registry can be very destructive and force an OS reinstall so only do it as a last resort.
