Questions about Oracle 9I AS, reports.... to query multiple database

Hi friends,
I am working for the HR dept of a big company and our
group will implement some enviornment to present HR reports for the leadership through web interface.
I have checked the Oracle 9iAS page and it seems it is
a pretty nice tool. The reports service is very impressive. We mainly use Java/JSP to do the project,so
this Oracle9i can fit our development team. One of
the problem is that we have multiple databases running
on different machines,including Oracle 7, Oracle 8i and
SQL Server 2000. So, one of the requirements is to query
multiple databases of different verdors.
So my question is:
can Oracle9i AS (especially the reports service) do this
multiple database query? I know with pl/sql, we can create
database link to do this query, but can we do it in
reports tools?

Yes you can do Even in the reports.

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

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)

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.

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.

Few questions about Oracle Timesten

Hi All
Just want to experiment with Oracle timesten. I have few douts.
1) How can i calculate the amount of extra RAM required if i install times ten. I have a existing database of size around 1 GB.
2) Does single instance of timesten caters to a single database or it can cater to multiple databases residing on same machine( as is the case with ASM).
3) Any step by step guide pointers?? for installation on Linux(OEL5 or 4) .. ( I came across a few on internet but not very good).
4) Once times ten is installed will the oracle database server function like before or some roles are taken over by timesten?
Thanks in advance

Shared Memory Size used by TimesTen PermSize ( MB ) + TempSize ( MB ) + LogBuffSize (KB) + few MB overheads
http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/timesten/706/TimesTen-Documentation/api.pdf
PermSize
Specifically indicates the size in MB of the permanent memory region for the
data store. You may increase PermSize at first connect but not decrease it.
TimesTen returns a warning if you attempt to decrease the permanent memory
region size. If the data store does not exist, a PermSize value of 0 or no value
indicates that the default size should be used. For an existing data store, a value
of 0 or no value indicates that the existing size should not be changed.
Use ttSize command for each cachegroup and sum it up
TempSize
TempSize indicates the total amount of memory in MB allocated to the
temporary region. TempSize has no pre-defined fixed default value. If left
unspecified, its value is determined from PermSize as follows:
If PermSize is less than 64MB, TempSize = 6 MB + ceiling(PermSize / 4 MB).
If PermSize is greater than 64MB, TempSize =14 MB +
ceiling(PermSize / 8 MB).
TimesTen rounds the value up to the nearest MB.

How to install Oracle Form and Report 6i on existing database

Hi all please help me,
My system is rhel 3 (update 6). My question is how can i install Oracle form and report 6i on my machine, which is already have database 10g R2? I known i have to create two separate ORACLE_HOME. Since i already had database 10g R2, can i just go head install Oracle form and report 6i on separate ORACLE_HOME? or i need to remove database 10g R2 first, and then install Oracle form and report 6i
Thanks in advances

<< Why Forms/Reports 6i and not something later, BTW? >>
Presumably he has to support a client/server application. They haven't all disappeared overnight, despite what Oracle tell everyone.

Discoverer Reporting Solution for Multiple Databases

I have to build oracle discoverer reports (single point of access) for four different applications. Each application is having separate databases. So whether i should create separate EULs for each applications (in respective databases) or Should i create a single EUL in any one of the databases and then use db links to connect rermaining databases (for reports from the other applications).
Can u suggest me which method will work good if you see the performace?. I need a dingle point of access for all the discoverer reports.
The worksheets need to be deployed with oracle portal for access of reports in a single click. Is there any way to pre configure the db credentila for each worksheet...?

Hi
My replies below make the assumption that you are not allowed to do any ETL and therefore the data from each database has to be pulled as is. If you do have ETL capability the situation changes dramatically.
In addition to what Sharon has said the cost based optimiizer will have a difficult job rewriting your query efficiently if you use database links, and if you attempt to have queries with some tables from one database and some from another the optimizer will not work at all. I mean. How could it? How could the optimzier in database A know anything about the statistics in databases B, C or D? Wherever the EUL is, that is where the driving optimizer will be so choose wisely obi-wan :-)
For me it's more about user needs than IT needs. If the business has a need to combine data from multiple databases then having a single EUL with database links would be a necessity. However, if they really are disparate systems with nothing in common such as say having Peoplesoft HR in one and E-Busines Suite Inventory in another with perhaps an in-house tracking system in another then I would look at having separate EULs, one in each.
Having one EUL across non-related systems means you have to mix users and roles and can be hard to manage. It actually becomes messy when just two databases are involved never mind four. So even though you might think it is more difficult to maintain 4 EULs, if the objects really are different and you have differing roles and usernames it actually will probably be simpler. They will be simpler to backup, simpler for exporting and importing and it will be faster for Discoverer to maintain workbooks as there will be fewer of them. Plus your system will have access to its local optimzier thereby ensuring the SQL is efficient.
If you are going to use one EUL you need to start out on a sound foundation. This means using libraries to control access too business areas and workbooks. You'll need to adopt some simple naming standards to keep things separate and manageable. I wrote a paper about libraries a few years ago and it is available free of change here on my website: http://ascbi.com/downloads.htm. The paper is called Discoverer Libraries - a Concept.

Querying Multiple databases on Azure SQL

Does anybody know if there is a way to query multiple Azure sql databases in a query?
I have tested the query on a standard sql server I have setup here and that works fine.
I believe Azure does not support cross database queries and you have to do an elastic database query. Any ideas how this works?
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Hello. We currently have a database cluster that has a WSUS database on it. We wanted to setup another WSUS server in our environment, is this possible? I have read some posts saying that there was a 1 to 1 for WSUS DB to SQL Instance
but those were from 2008 and 2011 and I am wondering if it is possible today. If not, what would be the recommendation? Another SQL Instance or just use the Windows Internal Database.
There is still a limitation of 1 WSUS to 1 SQL Instance, because the database name is hardcoded to SUSDB. To use multiple WSUS servers on that same cluster will require the installation of an additional instance.
If that additional server is destined to be a downstream server, though, I would recommend just using the native Windows Internal Database on the local system.

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.

Few questions about oracle dataguard

1.what is the advantage of logical standby database over physical standby database?
2.Snapshot standby database which works with the flashback feature is the only option to open the standby database in read write , am i correct?
3.What is the advantage of real time apply?what does meant by recover managed standby using current controlfile?

I am looking to implement Data Guard in my environment and could like to gather some information on this if it is feasible and then probably a POC prior doing it.
I have a few queries and would to get it clear. My objective is to offload the primary database from reporting. Thus, I would like to setup a reporting DB.
1. It is said that a logical standby database would be suitable for this instance. Can I setup physical standby DB and achieve similarly?
2. How can I maintain the synchonization between the primary DB and the newly open standby DB after open? Upon activation, will the standby DB be "broken in sync" and require a resetup again daily?
3. Can I achieve a real time reporting DB? Or will it be always a day behind assuming we do it daily activation of reporting DB and then 'destroy' it at the end of the day and rebuilt again?
4. You mentioned Materialized view on logical standby DB. These are built in the logical standby DB and query directly from the primary DB?
5. Data Guard, do we require a separate Oracle license?
Many thanks.

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.
