Recommended books for Oracle 10g

I'm new to this group, so my apologies in advance if this is not the appropriate group for this question. If it is not, please steer me in the right direction. Thanks!
Here's my situation: I'm currently a Microsoft SQL Server developer and have been for about 6 years, so I'm fairly conversant with SQL. Our company is in the process of purchasing an application that runs under Oracle 10g, and I need to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can about 1) being the Oracle DBA for our (small) company, and 2) developing in Oracle SQL.
Are there any specific books some of you would recommend for my particular situation (beginning level Oracle user, intermediate/advanced in SQL)? Any and all advice/suggestions/help will be gratefully accepted.
Thanks in advance --
Carl

First thing I would recommend is going in the OTN and download the 2 day dba article
and the top 20 Oracle 10g features

Recommended books for Oracle SQL power user

I am an OCA 11g preparing for 1Z0-047 [Oracle Database SQL Certified Expert]. Passing 1Z0-047 is not my sole purpose. I wish to become SQL power user.
What books do you recommend me except that from Steve O'Hearn? I saw there are quite a lot of advanced SQL books on Amazon. Which one a must have without PL/SQL or other programming language?

Other than Steve O'Hearn's book ? "Pro Oracle SQL" (Apress) by Karen Morton et al.

Note 830576 - Parameter recommendations for Oracle 10g

hi all DBA experts.
I am not good familiar with Oracle database while i read a Note 830576 - Parameter recommendations for Oracle 10g. in which SAP General Recommendation:
You should delete obsolete initialization parameters from the profile.
To determine which obsolete parameters are currently set, proceed as follows:
SQL> SELECT NAME FROM V$OBSOLETE_PARAMETER WHERE ISSPECIFIED = 'TRUE';
when i execute above command then result is no rows selected
while there are many parameters in above SAP Note which are already obsolete and not set in initSID.ora file.
for exp. the parameter OPTIMIZER_INDEX_COST_ADJ is showing
#### OPTIMIZER MODE
#optimizer_index_cost_adj = 10
as you know that this parameter is very important regarding System Performance.
now please guide me . I have to set these parameter or no need while there is not showing any parameters against obsolete command.
waiting you valuable reply.
Regards,

hi both,
thanks for knowledge sharing with me other SDN users,
Dear Orkun,
Ok. At this stage, I can recommend you that apply what they have suggested,
in the message. So, you already did a part of it by configuring
Oracle parameters, already.

Regarding Good book for Oracle Service Bus 11g

Hi All,
What is the good book for Oracle Service Bus 11g in the below list(or You can also specify any book other than from below list)?
1)Oracle Service Bus 11g Development Cookbook
2)Oracle Service bus in 21 days
3)The definitive guide to SOA:Oracle Service Bus,Second edition (or)first edition?
Can yOu help me out which is the good book for OSB?

Hi Deilby,
Thank You for your reply.
According to my understanding(I don't know whether it is correct or not),If you want to have full-fledged OSB development,we need to have eclipse.
If you just need to have routing and transformation along with SOA suite development,We can use OSB console .
Can You also look into this below SOA forums thread with SOA-OSB questions? If I have 'Oracle
Service Bus 11g Development Cookbook' , Can I answer all those questions?
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2559964?tstart=0
My intention is clear,I want to have full-fledged OSB development information(important components) and that leads to have good exposure to face questions.
Can You help me out to clarify my understanding and recommend the book according to that?
Note: I already worked on SOA Suite.I worked on OSB console. I think whatever we can do with OSB eclipse development the samething we can do with OSB console along with SOA suite.
Can You clarify on this?

Inpreet

To answer my own question, I'd say it's necessary to install the tarball, NOT the Debian files, for the Enterprise edition (perhaps to Standard is enough?).
After installation at (for example) /usr/local/oracle, the "proc" precompiler should be at /usr/local/oracle/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin
The env.variable ORACLE_HOME should be set,
export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/local/oracle/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1

Error while creating datasource userdsn for oracle 10g Errorcode (998)

while creating datasource userdsn for oracle 10g i am getting error "The setup routines for the oracle in OraDb10g_home1 odbc driver could not be loaded due to system error code 998" please give reply soon

Thanks for your reply , Steve.
I noticed that there is a default datasouce on the EM with the following parameters:
<data-source
          class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource"
          name="OracleDS"
          location="jdbc/OracleCoreDS"
          xa-location="jdbc/xa/OracleXADS"
          ejb-location="jdbc/OracleDS"
          connection-driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
          username="scott"
          password="->pwForScott"
          url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:oracle"
          inactivity-timeout="30"
     />
The location and xa-location attributes that I use for my "test" data source are the same as the default one. So, could this be the issue?
What should be the values for location and xa-location attributes from my "test" data source?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Oracle gateway for Oracle 10g DB on Windows 64 bit server

Is there any place that I can find Oracle dateway for Oracle 10g DB on Windows 64 bit server? I can only find Gateway for Oracle 11g on Windows 32 bit server. Please help me to identify this. Thanks.

yingkuan:
Thanks a lot. The link tells the details. It seems that Oracle has not release Gateway for Oracle database 10.2.0.x on Windows 64 bit server. Probably they don't do it.
So under this circumstance, if I want to install Gateway (32 bit) on Oracle 10.2.0.3 DB on Windows 64 bit server for Teradata, I probably have to install Gateway software in another Oracle Home, then configure it right. Please give more advice on this. 32 bit Gateway will work for 64 bit database?

Long-term retention backup strategy for Oracle 10g

Hello,
I need design a Archivelog, Level 0 and Level 1 long-term retention backup strategy for Oracle 10g, It must be based in Rman with tapes.
¿Somebody could tell me what it's the best option to configure long-term retention backups in Oracle?, "CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 1825 DAYS;" It's posibble ?
Regards and thanks in advance

Hello;
RECOVERY WINDOW is an integer so yes its possible. Does it make sense?
Later My bad, this is Oracle 11 only ( the gavinsoorma link ) . Getting harder and harder to think about 10. Don't think I would use RECOVERY WINDOW.
I would let the tape backup system handle the retention of your rman backups.
Using crosscheck and delete expired commands you can keep the catalog current with the available backups on tape.
Oracle 10
Keeping a Long-Term Backup: Example
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmbackp.htm#i1006840
http://web.njit.edu/info/oracle/DOC/backup.102/b14191/advmaint005.htm
Oracle 11
If you want to keep 5 years worth of backups I might just use KEEP specific date using the UNTIL TIME clause :
keep until time 'sysdate+1825'More info :
RMAN KEEP FOREVER, KEEP UNTIL TIME and FORCE commands

Can't Create the ODBC connection for Oracle 10g

Hi,
I am working with Oracle 10g Database Release 2 in windows XP professional. I am trying to create an ODBC connection for oracle but become failure because its generating the following errors:
system error code 998
could not locate the setup or translator library
Please help me how can I solve this problem and create the ODBC connection for oracle 10g database.
Best Regards,

mwz wrote:

could not locate the setup or translator libraryThe symptom described is typical of an incorrect system env PATH setting (used by the data source admin tool), compared to that of the Oracle Home (specifically, path $OH/bin). The odbc driver config routine will search directories listed in PATH variable for necessary libraries (Client dll's). If some library fails to load (from e.g. oraoci*.dll or oraclient10.dll) it will probably error out, as in your case.
Are you creating the odbc dsn on the databse server host or on some other machine? I.e. are you using the db host as a client or not?

Should I go for Oracle 10g OCA/OCP or 11g OCA/OCP Certification?

Hi all,
I am lil bit confuse to decide about my oracle core dba certification.
Please help me to know, as per the present requirements of the business organizations.
***Should I go for Oracle 10g OCA/OCP or 11g OCA/OCP Certification?***
Hope u guys answer me earliest.
Thanks & Regards,

Most likely, it doesn't matter too much. I doubt that most employers are terribly concerned with what recent version of Oracle you have a certification on.
That said, if it matters
- What does your organization use? What are their plans to upgrade? If your company still uses 9.2 primarily and has plans to upgrade to 10.2 this year, you're probably better off with a 10g certification. If your company is already running mostly 11.2, you're probably better off with an 11g certification.
- What do most employers in your particular part of the world tend to use? What do job postings in your particular part of the world generally list?
