Query Data from other Oracle Database into current

Hi all,
I have to query data from another oracle database into the current oracle database. Because the customer has standard edition, I cannot use a pipe. I tried "SELECT column_name FROM external_oracle_db.schema.table WHERE column_name = 'column_value';" Unfortunately this does not work.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks
Hans

Have you tried with Database links?
SELECT column_name FROM schema.table@external_oracle_db WHERE column_name = 'column_value';

Error while pulling data from an Oracle database. ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected

I'm trying to pull data from an Oracle database using SSIS. When I try to select a few fields from the source table, it returns the following error message:
    [OLE DB Source [47]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14.
    An OLE DB record is available. Source: "OraOLEDB" Hresult: 0x80040E14 Description: "ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected".
    An OLE DB record is available. Source: "OraOLEDB" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected".
The source columns are a combination of numeric and texts, and I've also tried selecting one of them, which didn't work. I'm using the Oracle client 11.2.0.1, and it works fine with any other data sources I have connected to so far. How can I resolve this
error?

Hi H.James,
According to your description, the issue is a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected while pulling data from an Oracle database in SSIS.
Based on the error message, the issue should be you are comparing a number column to a non-number column in a query. Such as the query below (ConfID is a number, Sdate is a date):
where C.ConfID in (select C.Sdate
                   from Conference_C C
                   where C.Sdate < '1-July-12')
Besides, a default behavior for the Oracle OleDb Provider that change the NLS Date Format of the session to 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS can also cause the issue. For more details about this issue, please refer to the following blog:

ClickOnce WinForms Application to retrieve data from an Oracle Database

I am hoping someone can help us.
We are trying to create a ClickOnce WinForms Application that will allow our Customer Service group to retrieve data from an Oracle Database.
We are currently able to use such a ClickOnce WinForms Application to allow our Customer Service group to retrieve data from SQL Server 2000 databases and even to a PICK Basic database. We use ole db drivers for these connections and keep the connection strings in a configuration file.
Our primary question now is:
1) What files would be needed on each client machine?
Thanks for any pointers.
:) Anne

The problem has been fixed.
If you wanna to load data from Oracle DB,the connect String should be like this:
cnss.open "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle.1;data source=orcl;User Id=fdmitf;Password=fdmitf"
besides, you should assign a value (True/False) to your function, as TonyScalese said in this post:
Import from RDB Fails with "Error:Import failed.Invalid data or Empty..."
Problem solved is always a great joy! Thanks!

How can i save the data from the Oracle database to my local directory

How can i save the data from the Oracle database to my local directory instead Of saving the data file to the Directory created on the Oracle Server ?
I require to design the Procedure which will pull the data from various tables and needs to store the data in the Client's local directory.

Since SQL*PLUS runs on the client, you can use SQL*PLUS to spool data to your local drive.
You could also use the database to write a a specified drive where all users have access to (mapped network drive, e.g.). I wouldn't recommend doing it that way, but it is sometimes useful when the files are created in some nightly batch run.

How to query data from other Database

Dear Community;
Please help me, I want to connect with another Database in apex query. I have been created TNS and also query run proper in Toad, but when I give schema name with table it does not run and give error.
So how I can use this query in Apex.
Regards
Shahab Ahmed Khan

We do this by creating a database link from DB1 (Apex database) to DB2 (main database) then writing queries like this in Apex:
select foo, bar from atable@db2

HTTP post data from the Oracle database to another web server

Hi ,
I have searched the forum and the net on this. And yes I have followed the links
http://awads.net/wp/2005/11/30/http-post-from-inside-oracle/
http://manib.wordpress.com/2007/12/03/utl_http/
and Eddie Awad's Blog on the same topic. I was successful in calling the servlet but I keep getting errors.
I am using Oracle 10 g and My servlet is part of a ADF BC JSF application.
My requirement is that I have blob table in another DB and our Oracle Forms application based on another DB has to view the documents . Viewing blobs over dblinks is not possible. So Option 1 is to call a procedure passing the doc_blob_id parameter and call the web server passing the parameters.
The errors I am getting is:
First the parameters passed returned null. and
2. Since my servlet directly downloads the document on the response outputStream, gives this error.
'com.evermind.server.http.HttpIOException: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine'
Any help please. I am running out of time.
Thanks

You can use remote LOBs via a database link. However, you cannot use a local LOB variable (called a LOB <i>locator</i>) to reference a remote LOB. A LOB variable/locator is a pointer - that pointer cannot reference a LOB that resides on a remote server. So simply do not use a LOB variable locally as it cannot reference a remote LOB.
Instead provide a remote interface that can deal with that LOB remotely, dereference that pointer on the remote system, and pass the actual contents being pointed at, to the local database.
The following demonstrates the basic approach. How one designs and implements the actual remote interface, need to be decided taking existing requirements into consideration. I simply used a very basic wrapper function.

SQL> The concern is the size of the LOB. It does not always make sense to access the entire LOB in the database. What if that LOB is a 100GB in size? Irrespective of how you do it, selecting that LOB column from that table will require a 100GB of data to be transferred from the database to your client.
So you need to decide WHY you want the LOB on the client (which will be the local PL/SQL code in case of dealing with a LOB on a remote database)? Do you need the entire LOB? Do you need a specific piece from it? Do you need the database to first parse that LOB into a more structured data struct and then pass specific information from that struct to you? Etc.
The bottom line however is that you can use remote LOBs. Simply that you cannot use a local pointer variable to point and dereference a remote LOB.

Archiving old data from a main database into an archived database

Hello colleagues,
We are trying to create a stored procedure to archive data older than 6 months (180 days) from our production database in to a new archive database.
We want to archive only 20,000 rows a day and we need to schedule it on a daily basis. We also want to delete those archived rows from the production database.
Could you please share us your experience on archiving.
Thanks

Hi BG516,
Ok, I got your point now :)
First, how long does it take to read these 20.000 rows? It shouldn't be a lot, especially if the table is well indexed to cover that query (an index on the date column and covering the rest of the table, basically). There are many aspects that may affect
the process but my guess is that the big deal would be to delete these old rows from your production table.
Reading these rows will require a shared latch, and if you're reading old data your daily processes shouldn't be trying to write in these particular pages (again, depends on the indexes mainly). Deleting them will need an exclusive lock and that'd be more
problematic, reads are quite more common than writes in a datawarehouse.
When facing this kind of problem, I always had to find a non-peak period of time to execute the required processes.
A few things that come to my mind:
- Use BULK INSERT when loading the data into your historical table so you can minimize the time you spend
reading from the production table
- Check the number of indexes you'll impact when deleting these rows. The more, the worse (more time
needed to maintain them)
- What version of SQL Server are you using? The Elastic Scale feature from Azure SQL Database covers just
that scenario (http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Data-Exposed/Azure-SQL-Database-Elastic-Scale)

Improving performance on migrating data from one Oracle database to another

We are using hibernate to migrate complete tables from one database to the other. This takes hours to days to transfer a couple of tables, all having relationships between each other. The only difference is that the new tables have an extra column which stores the primary key of the source table as an alias key in the destination table and the destination table has only one extra column which is its own primary key. Another small difference is that the name of the columns is a little different.
Isn't there a simple way to use Oracle database's in built tools to migrate data if provided the source and destination tables and column names for mapping purposes? Please provide some suggestions for this Oracle newbie. Any other suggestions on improving the migration performance will be greatly appreciated.
Suggestions please!!!

Hello Justin,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Ours is a small company so we take up all kinda roles. In this particular scenario, I was asked to migrate all the tables from one database to another. Both of the databases are present on two different machines but on the same network. There are about 100,000 records in some of the tables and there are about 50 tables to migrate. As I said, both the tables have different columns to be mapped and then transferred and the new table has only one extra column which is a primary key in the new table. Under these constraints, Hibernate is taking way too much time.
I always felt that there must be a simpler and efficient way to do this. I would appreciate if you could you explain me the procedures in detail please.
Thanks in advance.

Best Practice on querying Data from Database

Hello and I was wondering what is the preferred and best practice for querying data from an SQL database inside a JSP page. Is it using the JSTL library or another method? Thanks

It depends on the size of the application really.
The "correct and preferred" approach in a large MVC app would be to have a seperate class that does all the database access, retrieving the data into java objects.
Check out [url http://java.sun.com/blueprints/corej2eepatterns/Patterns/DataAccessObject.html] DAO pattern
You then "save" the data into request/session attributes, and forward to a jsp page to render the result.
Most approaches recommend a separation between JSP (the view) and SQL code.
The JSTL sql tags are provided more for "quick and dirty" code applicable in small applications, or for fast prototyping. That approach is not really robust for large scale applications.

Is it possible to retrieve data from an Oracle db with an LDAP query?

Our application uses an LDAP query to retrieve data from Microsoft Active Directory. Is it also possible to retrieve data from an Oracle database with an LDAP query?

if you have Oracle Internet Directory, you will retrieve with ldapsearch data, which are physically stored in the database. But to select * from emp where ename='SCOTT', it is probably not possible.
At least I have never heard of such a product which translate ldap query in sql query. But feel free to write your own one in perl :-)

Problem finding data in an Oracle Database using CMP beans

I am having a problem retrieving data from an Oracle database that has a date as
part of the key. This data was loaded into my database via a batch process writing
in java using java.sql.Date to store the date information. When calling the findByPrimaryKey
method of a CMP Entity Bean I continued to get the FinderException. I know this
data is in my database because I can view the data via SQLPlus and Microsoft Access.
Has anyone ever experience problems with CMP beans accessing data from an Oracle
database that had a date as part if the key or with accessing data in the database
that insert via another method outside of your CMP bean. I desperately need some
answers.

Hi Dave,
You should probably post this type of question in the CMP or JDBC section
for best results. Chances are that the date is suffering from a rounding
problem (it could be a date/time in the database with a different time zone)
or is not the date that you think it is (wrong century or millenium). I've
seen both. You need to write a quick piece of code that loads in those
values as both Java timestamps and dates and makes sure that they are what
you think they are.
Peace,

What's the best option for event generation from an Oracle database?

Hi all,
I need to interface from an oracle database into WLI (or elink if need be). The
code that needs to call this interface is written in pl/sql in the database.
What is the best way to enable the pl/sql to make a call to WLI?
I know you can set up an event trigger on a table using the sample DBMS adapter
so that it will send info to WLI via the events table in the database but this
is what they call a pull event(i.e. the adapter is actually polling this table
for whenever an event gets put into it I think).
Has anyone ever done a push type event? (e.g. calling java code from pl/sql that
sends event to WLI)
Or anyone know whether the new JCA for Oracle Applications will help with this?
I am using Oracle 8.1.7 so don't have any extras with Oracle Apps.
thanks all
adam

Adam,
I have not implemented an push event adapter with Oracle. However, I
know the trend that seems to be happening in the industry and I can say
I agree 100% with it's implementation. I am seeing vendors using
Oracle's Advanced queuing features to push events out to other
applications. One interface for AQ is PL/SQL using DBMS_AQ, DBMS_AQADM,
and DBMS_AQELM packages, so you would not have to rewrite your current
business logic. Although I have not done the leg work, logically, this
would be the approach I would take if tasked to implement an Oracle
event adapter.
For more information register (free) for an account on Oracle Technology
Network (OTN), then go to the following URL:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/appdev.920/a96587/toc.htm
Note: (the url goes to Oracle9i, as I couldn't find the link to 8i, but
8i AQ in will work just as well)
Cheers,
Chris

Best approach to synchronize data from custom application database to EBS

Hi All,
We have requirement to synchronize data between custom application database and EBS database. Thw two database is on different location connected by 128 kbps connection.
The synchronization will do the following task :
- Download customer table from EBS (I have checked there are only 2000 rows of it)
- Up load billing data to EBS auto invoice interface table
The question is :
What approach is the best way to do this synchronization task ? some that come into my mind :
- create database link and run stored procedure to do the batch update ?
- for Customer synchronization, is it a good idea to create Materialized view so that any update to EBS customer data will be updated, refreshed nightly
- or is ther any better approach ?
Thank you very much,
xtanto

Hi,
There are two direction of synchroonization that should be done :
- RECEIVE Customers data from EBS into Custom Billing Database -> Yes, this can be done via materialized view
- SEND Billing data from Custom Billing Database into EBS database (Interface table)-> this cannot be done with materialized view
--> so how is the best way to do this under limited bandwidth (128 kbps) ?
Thank you very much,
xtanto

Extract data from Solution Manager database

Hi,
I am investigating the possibility of using SQL to extract alert data
from the Oracle database directly.
I have looked in the database to find the tables which would provide
such information, and I have found some promising tables.
But I need to understand how the data is stored in the Solution Manager
system, I see that once the solution manager application is started it
pulls the data from the CCMS alerts on the remote systems. But that
data needs to be stored somewhere. Can you tell me if it is buffered in
an internal table or a structure.
Is it possible to use the SAP tables to produce such a report, or which
BAPI's can I use to extract the data.
Thanks
Chris aka BoobBoo

Hi Chris:
If you want to interact with the Alerting data, you should use the XAL External Interface for Alert Management.
You can find the additional information and also the XAL BAPI guide in SAP Service Marketplace under System Monitoring.
Hope this helps!
