Regarding Oracle 9i database track validity

I completed my OCA on Feb 23 2005 and have cleared the ORACLE9I DATABASE: FUNDAMENTALS II paper on Feb 26 2005 and since then I have not appeared for the final paper (Oracle 9i Performance Tuning - 1Z0-033).
Now I am planning to appear for the last paper, but am bit concerned as there is a long gap since I appeared for the last exam.
Can you help me to confirm that to complete my become Oracle 9i OCP, I just need to appear for the last exam (i.e. 1Z0-033)
Regards,
KS

KS, You should contact [email protected] and confirm that your previous exam is on record and you should register for your 2nd exam under the same Prometric ID to avoid confusion and delay in your kit.

"Oracle xml Database" INVALID

Hi,
when i executed the following query:
SELECT COMP_NAME, STATUS
FROM DBA_SERVER_REGISTRY;
i got all the objects status as VALID except that
"ORACLE XML Database" was INVALID
Can someone help me to make this "ORACLE XML Database" as VALID.
Thanks,
Philip.

HI Frank,
now what i did was i actually ran catpatch.sql and utlrp.sql after i did startup migrate.
and when i did
SELECT COMP_NAME, STATUS
FROM DBA_SERVER_REGISTRY;
i got all objects as valid, but i dont see "Oracle XML Database" anymore.
so now i suppose i cannot reinstall, but actually do a fresh install. and the following are the steps for a fresh install in the documentation
Installing a New Oracle XML DB Manually Without Database Configuration Assistant
After the database installation, you must run the following SQL scripts in rdbms/admin connecting to SYS to install Oracle XML DB after creating a new tablespace for Oracle XML DB repository. Here is the syntax for this:
catqm.sql <XDB_password> <XDB_TS_NAME> <TEMP_TS_NAME>
#Create the tables and views needed to run XML DB
For example:
catqm.sql change_on_install XDB TEMP
Reconnect to SYS again and run the following:
catxdbj.sql #Load xdb java library
Note:
Make sure that the database is started with Oracle9i release 2 (9.2.0) compatibility or higher, and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is installed.
Postinstallation
After the manual installation, carry out these tasks:
1.     Add the following dispatcher entry to the init.ora file:
dispatchers="(PROTOCOL=TCP) (SERVICE=<sid>XDB)"
2.     Restart the database and listener to enable Oracle XML DB protocol access.
3.     To allow for unauthenticated access to your Oracle XML DB repository data through HTTP, you must also unlock the ANONYMOUS user account.
is this right. can u tell me what i should do please.
Thanks,
Philip.

Doubt regarding Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) installation

hello
my pc has following configurtion
256mb ram
60gb hdd
p4 2.4 ghz
win xp pro sp2
I want to know if my pc will be able to run " Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) " standard edition on it.
<<http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10201winsoft.html>>
I thought of increasing RAM, but it is not feasible.
I know i could run oracle XE, but can my pc also run the standard edition.
I could not find minimum hardware requirements for standard edition on this site.
anyway, i will use it for sql and and other advanced concepts in RDBMS which i may learn during my course in database. so i prefer standard edition instead of XE
any help greatly appreciated
thanks in advance

I suggest you not to doubt regarding Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) installation.
It is not necessary. If you don't receive an answer within a reasonable amount of time you could edit your thread with whatever ( a period is enough) to raise it to the top once again.
It becomes difficult for us to track duplicated threads and unnecessarily duplicates efforts.

Hi,
not any thing new from the already given answer. But, i hope this examples gives more clarity.
Answers below:
1) ORACLE_SID is the answer
2) see the output below.

3) Check environment variables for ORACLE_HOME variable will let you know the location of the PFILE. By default it will be ORACLE_HOME/database (windows), ORACLE_HOME/dbs (LINUX/UNIX).
SET command will help you or use widows options.
In some other cases, the PFILE contains the link to it with IFILE value left in PFILE which should show the location.
4) Check environment variables for ORACLE_HOME variable will let you know the location of the password file. By default it will be expected in ORACLE_HOME/database (windows), ORACLE_HOME/dbs (LINUX/UNIX).

Query Regarding Oracle Database Client

Hello,
I'm new to ORACLE and Intented to become Oracle Developer and DBA. I've question regarding Oracle Database Client software.
I know that there is Oracle Database server software but what is this Oracle Database Client. Is there any need to Install it on client machine as client mostly access the database use application software mainly develope in Java or C# etc. So, what is it need.
and one more question regarding SQL *Plus. Is it client process or server process as I learnent that it is client process and if it is. Is it can be part of Oracle Database Client. and can we seperately install the Oracle Database Client on machine on which DB server is aslo Installed.
Looking for reply.
Regards,
Danish Kamran

Certainly you are not mentioning the Oracle version, it is very important. Whenever you post a question reference the oracle version. There is a disk known as the oracle Client (10gR1, 10gR2 and 11gR1), this disk contains all required software to setup a client environment. If you are working with clients such as Java or C# you must have either the jdcb client driver (Jjava) or the ODBC software to access the database, this is included in the Oracle client disk.
Instant Client
There are other options for the client, you can install the instant client, this option allows you to install only the drivers without the Oracle utilities, this is particular useful if you are deploying third party applications and you don't want to install the complete client disk.
SQLPlus
SQL*Plus is a client application that runs on the client side, when you open a session it requests an Oracle server process to be executed on the server side. Once the session has been successfully setup then you can issue SQL commands from the client side. You should be aware that even if you launch SQL*Plus from the server side you will be working with two processes, one for the client and the second one for the oracle server. This connection mode is also known as dedicated server, but you should be aware that there is another connection mode known as shared server, I won't explain it since it already goes off topic.

Regarding working with oracle spatial database connections

sir/madem,
i am an engg student, my final year project on inserting data into oracle spatial database through java /jsp , i am working with oracle spatial database 10g/11g,
i want know how to insert/retrive/ manuplute the spatial data into oracle spatial databse for 10g/11g, through java programing,

i have less time to finish my project
i hope u help me
thank u

For database access from Java, you will use JDBC.
For the specifics of the oracle spatial database, you'll have to check the documentation/forum of Oracle.

Auditing in oracle 10g database and oracle 10g application server

Dear friends,
We have oracle 10g application server and oracle 10g database server in place.My criteria is to audit users connected using oracle application user credentials to the database.
Can you please tell me how can i do it.
Thanks & regards,

Its the database connection you want to track. The session audit will show where it came from.
Auditing is turned using this command:
alter system set audit_trail = DB scope=spfile;
Note: The use of spfile will require a DB bounce before audit starts
To audit Sessions:
audit create session;
Query by Audit Type:
SELECT A.USERNAME,
OS_USERNAME,
A.TIMESTAMP,
A.RETURNCODE,
TERMINAL,
USERHOST
FROM DBA_AUDIT_SESSION A
WHERE USERHOST = <replace with iAS servername> ;
By User
SELECT USERNAME,OBJ_NAME,ACTION_NAME , TIMESTAMP
FROM DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL WHERE USERNAME = 'SCOTT';
Check for users sharing database accounts
select count(distinct(terminal)),username
from dba_audit_session
having count(distinct(terminal))>1
group by username;
Attempts to access the database at unusual hours
SELECT username, terminal, action_name, returncode,
TO_CHAR (TIMESTAMP, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),
TO_CHAR (logoff_time, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
FROM dba_audit_session
WHERE TO_DATE (TO_CHAR (TIMESTAMP, 'HH24:MI:SS'), 'HH24:MI:SS') <
TO_DATE ('08:00:00', 'HH24:MI:SS')
OR TO_DATE (TO_CHAR (TIMESTAMP, 'HH24:MI:SS'), 'HH24:MI:SS') >
TO_DATE ('19:30:00', 'HH24:MI:SS');
Attempts to access the database with non-existent users
SELECT username, terminal, TO_CHAR (TIMESTAMP, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
FROM dba_audit_session
WHERE returncode <> 0
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 'x'
FROM dba_users
WHERE dba_users.username = dba_audit_session.username);
Other audits you might consider:
audit grant any object privilege;
audit alter user;
audit create user;
audit drop user;
audit drop tablespace;
audit grant any role;
audit grant any privilege;
audit alter system;
audit alter session;
audit delete on AUD$ by access;
audit insert on AUD$ by access;
audit update on AUD$ by access;
audit delete table;
audit create tablespace;
audit alter database;
audit create role;
audit create table;
audit alter any procedure;
audit create view;
audit drop any procedure;
audit drop profile;
audit alter profile;
audit alter any table;
audit create public database link;

Are you sure that you are trying to install the correct version? It seems like it's for Microsoft Windows Itanium (64-bit) edition.

You don't need a DSN if you use Oracle's JDBC driver.

Hi All,
I am trying to face some problem to install oracle 10g database on windows 2003 server with service pack 2. Once I start to installation it give me an error "Error in writing to directory 'c:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp\orainstall2004xxx'. Please ensure that this directory is writable and has at least 45MB of disk space. Installation cannot continue"
I double-insured that there is enough disk-space and I am also in the Administrators-Group.
Please guide me for the above problem although I have done oracle 9i database installation with the same configuration.

Sql * plus 9 is not able to connect oracle 7 database

Today I have installed oracle 9i release 2 and found that the sql * plus provided with is unable to connect oracle database version 7. But before that we were able to connect the oracle 7 database well.
Any one having a clue on that...?
Is it a product bug...?
If so then please provide me some alternative solution clue or patch download link. Please remember in any condition currently it is not possible discard my oracle 7 database.
With Regards.
Soumen.

No, it is not a bug. You just cannot connect with Ora9i R2 SQL*Plus to an Ora7 database.You cannot create a DB link between the two database either, if you are planning on doing that.
A solution is to install Ora8 client, which can connect to both Ora9 and Ora7 database (but a db link will stil be impossible).
