  • A question about Oracle 1g R2 Enterprise Edition license

    Dear all,
    I have a question about Oracle license and I would appreciate if you could kindly help me.
    I have installed an Oracle server (11g R2 Enterprise edition) on a linux virtual machine. The pc used for this purpose
    is my enterprise laptop (therefore a professional and not a personal Computer). However, I use the this Oracle Server
    only for learning purpose, that is, only for running the examples in my Oracle Press books (SQL, PL/SQL and some
    administration tasks) just for learning the stuff.
    There is absolutely no data related to my enterprise, stored or used on this server. Whenever I want to work with my
    enterprise data, I use the Oracle server of the enterprise which has of course the appropriate license. So as I said, I
    use this Enterprise server on the virtual machine only for running queries/programs in my Oracle Press books just for
    learning and I'm the sole person who uses this server (no remote connection for other users).
    The reason for which I needed to install this server on my PC was that our DBA couldn't provide a training environment
    for me with all required privileges and functionalities.
    Am I supposed to buy a license for this installed Enterprise server on my virtual machine?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dariyoosh

    I think self training can be considered in this category, therefore I think there is no need to buy a license for that.

  • Several questions about oracle ASM in 11gR2.

    Hi, all.
    The db is 11.2.0.3 on a linux machine.
    I have several questions about oracle ASM functionality.
    1. V$ASM_DISKGROUP.ALLOCATION_UNIT_SIZE is the stripe size in bytes??
    2. V$ASM_DISK.DISK_NUMBER is unique to a physical disk??
    3. if the second question is the case,
    disk_number=0 (a physical disk) has 14 partition on it.
    And each partition belongs to several diskgroups.
    Is ths right??
    with q1 as (
         select /*+ use_hash(b,a) */
              disk_number,b.group_number,b.name,a.path,sum(os_mb) tot_size ,count(*) cnt

    1. No. The stripe size always equals 128 KB in any configuration.
    (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e18951/asmcon.htm#BABCGDBF)That is not a true statement. Please read the document, the stripe size depends upon what method of striping we using (fine-grained or coarse-grained)
    --from the same oracle document:
    To stripe data, Oracle ASM separates files into stripes and spreads data evenly across all of the disks in a disk group. The fine-grained stripe size always equals 128 KB in any configuration; this provides lower I/O latency for small I/O operations. The coarse-grained stripe size is always equal to the AU size (not the data extent size).
    --are we using fine grained or coarse-grained ? and how to change the striping method (using TEMPLATES)

  • Basic Questions about Oracle E-Business Suite

    I am just now starting to learn about Oracle E-Business Suite.
    I am an Oracle DBA, and I want to become an "Oracle Apps DBA".
    The following questions pertain to the DATABASE side of E-Business:
    *(1)* Is "Oracle E-Business Suite", and "Oracle Applications 11i" the
    same product?
    *(2)* Is Release 12, the current version of E-Business Suite?
    *(3)* What is the Release of E-Business Suite that most Businesses are
    currently using?
    *(4)* I want to use 1GB of RAM, for the Laptop, that I want to install
    E-Business Suite on, and it will be running under Oracle
    Enterprise Linux -- Will this type of setup be OK for building a
    personal training and learning environment (especially RAM size)?
    *(5)* How much disk space do I need, just to do a basic install (no
    demo databases)?

    Hi,
    *(1)* Is "Oracle E-Business Suite", and "Oracle Applications 11i" the
    same product?Yes, it even includes R12.
    *(2)* Is Release 12, the current version of E-Business Suite?Yes, the most recent versions of R12 are (12.1.1 and 12.1.2).
    *(3)* What is the Release of E-Business Suite that most Businesses are
    currently using?Depends, some customer still on 11i while other customer managed to upgrade to R12 (or did a fresh installation/implementation of R12).
    *(4)* I want to use 1GB of RAM, for the Laptop, that I want to install
    E-Business Suite on, and it will be running under Oracle
    Enterprise Linux -- Will this type of setup be OK for building a
    personal training and learning environment (especially RAM size)?1 GB RAM is not enough, I would suggest you have 4 GB RAM (or more if possible).
    *(5)* How much disk space do I need, just to do a basic install (no
    demo databases)?This is documented in the installation manual, please refer to it to get the hardware requirements.

  • General Questions about Oracle Roles/Privileges

    Hi,
    I have a few questions I'm hoping to get clarification on:
    1 - Is there a view similar to DBA_SYS_PRIVS/DBA_TAB_PRIVS that shows which system privileges have been assigned to users/accounts ONLY, filtering out roles? If not, how would one go about obtaining this list?
    2 - Is there a view similar to DBA_ROLE_PRIVS that shows also just shows which users have been assigned to which roles ONLY, again filtering out roles? If not, how would one go about obtaining this list? I assume some type of recursion has to be done here to flatten out the roles.
    My end goal is this:
    - List of all users and directly assigned system privileges only
    - List of all users and directly assigned table/object privileges only
    - List of all users and all roles (if role X contains role Y, this list should show user has role X and Y)
    Many thanks!

    1 - Is there a view similar to DBA_SYS_PRIVS/DBA_TAB_PRIVS that shows which system privileges have been assigned to users/accounts ONLY, filtering out roles? If not, how would one go about obtaining this list?
    it's simple:
    select grantee, privilege from dba_sys_privs where grantee in (select username from dba_users);
    select grantee, owner, table_name, privilege from dba_tab_privs where grantee in (select username from dba_users);
    2 - Is there a view similar to DBA_ROLE_PRIVS that shows also just shows which users have been assigned to which roles ONLY, again filtering out roles? If not, how would one go about obtaining this list? I assume some type of recursion has to be done here to flatten out the roles.
    select grantee, granted_role from dba_role_privs where grantee in (select username from dba_users);
    select grantee, granted_role from dba_role_privs where grantee in (select role from dba_roles);Hope this helps...

  • Question about Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL

    Hello,
    I've read that:
    This course is a combination of Oracle Database 11g: PL/SQL Fundamentals and Oracle Database 11g: Develop PL/SQL Program Units courses.
    In order to preparing for this exam, i should read the student guide, so there are 4 pdf files. One is Oracle Database 11g: PL/SQL Fundamentals, and the other 3 are regarding to Oracle Database 11g: Develop PL/SQL Program Units (volume I, II and III). My question is, regarding to this last one (Oracle Database 11g: Develop PL/SQL Program Units), which volume should i read? I saw that volume I has 400+ pages, and the IIIrd ~80.
    Which document should i read? What's the difference between them?
    Thanks!

    Passing the exam and becoming certified are not a matter of simply reading a book or taking a training class. While books and classroom materials as well as in-class training are all important steps in preparing for an exam, experience and research are just as important. I cannot tell you that there are 53 questions on the exam and every single question maps directly back to page 13, paragraph 3 in XX book. However, If you have the classroom material, and you have the list of exam topics, you should be able to find most of the information you need. In some cases, if you are not completely familiar with a specific topic, or you don't feel like the information in the book gives you all the information you need, you may need to do a little additional research. This is all part of preparing for an exam. This process is what makes you successful as a certified professional.
    Your focus seems to be solely on the course materials that you have and what volumes and chapters you should read. I'm trying to give you a different perspective - preparing for an exam is not necessarily about taking one course or reading one book and being ready. You need to review the exam topics and be sure that you are familiar with each topic.

  • VERY Basic Questions about Oracle eBusiness - what "languages" are used?

    Please forgive the very basic nature of this post- (I have been in systems (IT) for over 20 years, so I do have lots of systems experience, but no exposure to this particular software.)
    So here are the basic questions - I assume that much of the data base logic is written in PL/SQL, but what other tools / languages are the applications written in?
    (Oracle Forms, Oracle Reports, Java, C, something else?)
    With over 20 years and experience with a number of other packages, I can learn a great deal about an application by 1. Looking at the DB structures (charts), 2. looking into DB code (Packages, triggers, procedure, functions) and 3. Seeing the screen shots.
    None of my customers have had Oracle eBusiness - that have had home grown applications or other COTS/packages.
    can anyone suggest a place where an independent person can inexpensively get some exposure?
    My sincere thanks for any answers/suggestions.

  • Misc. questions about Oracles SOA software

    Hello,
    I am a computer science student at the Fachhochschule Aachen in Germany and i'm writing my master thesis about serviceoriented architectures.
    Amongst other products i plan to present what oracle has to offer for SOA. But i'm missing some information, which i couldn't find at the website. I hope somebody can help me with my questions:
    1) Is it correct that you only need the Application Server and the SOA Suite for a basic SOA setup? And the SOA Suite is included in the Enterprise Edition of the Application Server?
    2) The SOA Suite contains the BPEL Process Manager. I just want to know which version of BPEL this tool supports: BPEL4WS 1.0, 1.1, WS-BPEL (2.0)?
    3) In my thesis i describe several standards that help with serviceoriented architectures. I want to check if these standards are implemented and if they are, in which product, which version and how extensively? These standards are:
    - WS-Policy, WS-Adressing
    - JBI (Java Business Integration)
    - SCA/SDO (Service Component Architecture/Service Data Objects)
    - WS-CDL (Web Service Choreography Description Language)
    Are there other important (open) standards i didn't mention (other than the real basic stuff, WSDL, SOAP etc)?
    4) What tools does Oracle provide for testing the services and processes?
    5) What support does Oracle provide for new customers, that are building their first SOA?
    Every help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • A few wide and varied questions about Linux in general

    I've had a few "I wonder..." things noodling in the back of my head for a while now about the Linux kernel, and how Linux works in general. Yes, I could just install LFS to answer them, but I like knowing what I'm doing before I do it and asking is typically an awesome way to do that
    So, here are a bunch of questions. Answer what you know, speculate on what you think. Feel free to answer just one or all of them.
    Also, if you feel inspired from these questions or just this thread's very existance and want to ask questions of your own please do!
    Compilation questions
    When I compiled Openbox recently, it linked such that I can't move it out of my home folder, and additionally, when I run /usr/bin/openbox, I end up executing /Users/dav7/openbox/openbox-3.4.7.2/openbox/.libs/lt-openbox - why is this, and how can I make openbox... not do the weirdness it's currently doing?
    Library questions
    - In Arch's initramfs image, klibc is named "klibc-EcjIkSXUojTZn3VHC4IxoFgq9Kg.so", at least it was at my last check. Why is this? Why/how do other programs link with this crazily named copy of klibc? How does library linking work actually? How did the linker know to use this klibc name and not something else?
    - How do I specify that I want to link against a specific library, for example if I want to link a program against klibc when I have glibc installed? Do I have to create a chroot jail to convince the linker to see only the library I want it to?
    - Can I build the Kdrive X server with klibc, or do I need ulibc or glibc? How much (read: what "class" or category of programs) will klibc link against without problems, especially in the X area? Will I need ulibc to build anything X-based?

    Er, I'm pretty sure I'm not an expert, so my "answers" will be almost surely incomplete/incorrect.
    1) I suppose by "compiling openbox" you mean the standard "./configure; make; make install" procedure. Well, the "./configure" step lets you choose various paths related to the final product. Crunch through "./configure --help". "./configure" script creates/modifies all the makefiles, so that they reflect your choices of paths, and that's what's going to be used.
    2) - dynamic linking is manages by /sbin/ldconfig - so have a look at 'man ldconfig'. that's how linker knows what's available.
    - with klibc, I think you need to have the whole toolchain (binutils, gcc, klibc) adapted to klibc available to compile against klibc. Then it's a matter of compiling with those tools. I think it's impossible to use the standard gcc and binutils to compile against klibc.
    - I have no idea about what compiles against klibc. I think not too much, and with heavy patching. I'm pretty sure you can compile some version of x server against uclibc (that's what openwrt does). Have a look at some small distros (slitaz, dsl) on how are they doing it.

  • [Urgent] Some questions about Oracle Portal 10g - 11g upgrade

    Dear friends,
    We are under doing upgrading assessment of Oracle Portal from 10g to 11g. After reviewed the 'upgrading guide', we still have some questions as below:
    1. Whether the 'Instant Portal' feature remain in Oracle Portal 11g? If yes, how to migrate the Instant Portal 10g sites? If no, any workaround?
    2. Whether the old 10g Page Group and Pages will be still available after 11g upgrade? Also can customer import the old 10g transportset into Portal 11g?
    3. How about the customized Portal 10g objects (such as customized template, style, attributes) after 11g upgrade? Still be usable?
    4. Customer use PDK to develop many portlets in 10g. Can they use JDeveloper 11g to migrate their old project to 11g automatically?
    Thank you in advance and any comment are welcome.

    1. Whether the 'Instant Portal' feature remain in Oracle Portal 11g? If yes, how to migrate the Instant Portal 10g sites? If no, any workaround?Instant Portal is not available anymore in Oracle Portal 11g. The Instant Portal page groups will be migrated to standard Portal page groups. Maintenance of the Instant Portal can be done with the standard Portal tools. The Instant Portal tools are not available anymore.
    Whether the old 10g Page Group and Pages will be still available after 11g upgrade? Also can customer import the old 10g transportset into Portal 11g?Old 10g Page Groups are migrated to Portal 11g. They will still be available after the upgrade.

You cannot export and import between two different releases, such as release 10.1.2 to release 10.1.4 or release 10.1.4 to release 11.1.1.
    How about the customized Portal 10g objects (such as customized template, style, attributes) after 11g upgrade? Still be usable?Customized objects get migrated as well. Certain types (e.g. PL/SQL item types) need to be checked after upgrade as the behavior of the PL/SQL code may differ between database versions. This is particularly of concern when the 10.1.4.x Portal uses a 10.1 database. A database upgrade to either 10.2, 11.1 or 11.2 is necessary as Portal 11g is not supported with RDBMS 10.1.
    Customer use PDK to develop many portlets in 10g. Can they use JDeveloper 11g to migrate their old project to 11g automatically?Never done this, but the Portal framework is able to consume JPDK providers which are running in older versions of the toolkit. If the providers are running in standalone OC4J containers, you would be able to upgrade the framework and keep the providers in their OC4J containers. This will allow you to focus on the framework first and worry about your providers later.

  • Question about Oracle Client Software

    Hi!
    I'm going to develop a software which will access an Oracle Database somewhere on the network. This software will be developed using C++ language and will run on a Linux RedHat 7.3 machine.
    Searching for APIs to connect with Oracle Database, I found OCI and OCCI, which I think will do this job. Also, in another thread in this group, I found that I have to install Oracle Client Software on the machine which will run my software. Then I came into a question: is it possible to install Oracle Client Software alone in a machine, I mean, without the entire database? If yes, how about the licenses? Do I have to have a Oracle Client License for each machine running my software or is it free for Linux?
    Thanks in advance,

    Is there a different client that includes the Oracle Net software as stated in the OBE ? if so, where is it ?Before V11 Oracle used to package a "Client CD" & it appears it is no longer available.

  • A silly question about oracle.sql.timestamp and java.sql.timestamp

    Hi,
    I'm looking at a method that takes objects of type Object and does stuff if the object is really a java.sql.timestamp. If it is not then an error is flagged. In my case it flags an error when an object of type oracle.sql.timestamp is passed to it. Not really entirely comfortable with java (i'm still learning it), here's my stupid question :- why isn't oracle.sql.timestamp a subclass of java.sql.timestamp? Also in various books it indicates that java.sql.timestamp maps to oracle.sql.timestamp. Does that mean you have to physically do the mapping:
    i.e.
    java.sql.Timestamp t = new Timestamp( new oracle.sql.Timestamp( CURRENTTIMESTAMP ).timestampValue() );
    or is there something else to it.
    Thanks.
    Harold.

    The best forum for this is probably Forum Home » Java » SQLJ/JDBC
    Presumably you are refering to oracle.sql.TIMESTAMP. While this is intended to (and does) correspond to java.sql.Timestamp it can't be a subclass because it needs to be a subclass of oracle.sql.Datum.

  • Newbie question about Oracle Parallel Server and Real Application Cluster

    I am trying to find out what kind of storage system is supported by the 9i Real Applicaton cluster. I have looked at the 8i Oracle Parallel Server which requires raw partitions and therefore NAS (network attached storage) that provides an interface at the file level will not work. Does anyone know if the 9i Real Application cluster has a similar requirement for raw partitions? any suggestions of whether SAN or other technology will be suitable? pointers to more information is appreciated.

    Hi Derik,
    I know this is a really broad question. No, it happens all the time! Here is a similar issue:
    http://blog.tuningknife.com/2008/09/26/oracle-11g-performance-issue/
    +"In the end, nothing I tried could dissuade 11g from emitting the “PARSING IN CURSOR #d+” message for each insert statement. I filed a service request with Oracle Support on this issue and they ultimately referred the issue to development as a bug. Note that Support couldn’t reproduce the slowness I was seeing, but their trace files did reflect the parsing messages I observed."+
    I would:
    1 - Start by examining historical SQL execution plans (stats$sql_plan or dba_hist_sql_plan). Try to isolate the exact nature of the decreased performance.
    Are different indexes being used? Are you geting more full-table scans?
    2 - Migrate-in your old 10g CBO statistics
    3 - Confirm that all init.ora parms are identical
    4 - Drill into each SQL with a different execution plan . . .

    But at the same time, consider using the Oracle standard, RAID-10 . . .
    Hope this helps . . .
