Reverse engineer  from oracle database

Hi friends,
I am looking to create a diagram on my Visio 2010 using the reverse engineering feature to connect to my oracle database..Can some please post
the required steps to achieve it...Thank you

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/visio-help/create-a-database-model-also-known-as-entity-relationship-diagram-HA010357092.aspx?CTT=1
Paying close attention to this part which is hidden by default.

Can't find the database model features?
Not every edition of Microsoft Visio has the database model feature. If you cannot find the features described in the procedures in this article, most likely you have an edition of Visio that does not include them.
Microsoft Visio Standard does not include the Database Model Diagram template.
Microsoft Visio Professional and Premium editions support the reverse engineering features for the Database Model Diagram template (that is, using an existing database to create a model in Visio), but it does not support forward engineering (that is, using a Visio database model to generate SQL code).

  • Sending a mail from oracle database

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to send a mail from oracle database.I use UTL_TCP package for this.Although my procedure is executed successfully,i dont get the mails in my inbox.Please help me to figure out a solution.
    Thanks in advance....

    Hi, you must use UTL_SMTP package for send emails, it has more performance and features for debug. You must look the next code, this is a example for send emails.
    DECLARE
    c UTL_SMTP.CONNECTION;
    PROCEDURE send_header(name IN VARCHAR2, header IN VARCHAR2) AS
    BEGIN
    UTL_SMTP.WRITE_DATA(c, name || ': ' || header || UTL_TCP.CRLF);
    END;
    BEGIN
    c := UTL_SMTP.OPEN_CONNECTION('smtp-server.acme.com');
    UTL_SMTP.HELO(c, 'foo.com');
    UTL_SMTP.MAIL(c, '[email protected]');
    UTL_SMTP.RCPT(c, '[email protected]');
    UTL_SMTP.OPEN_DATA(c);
    send_header('From', '"Sender" <[email protected]>');
    send_header('To', '"Recipient" <[email protected]>');
    send_header('Subject', 'Hello');
    UTL_SMTP.WRITE_DATA(c, UTL_TCP.CRLF || 'Hello, world!');
    UTL_SMTP.CLOSE_DATA(c);
    UTL_SMTP.QUIT(c);
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN utl_smtp.transient_error OR utl_smtp.permanent_error THEN
    BEGIN
    UTL_SMTP.QUIT(c);
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN UTL_SMTP.TRANSIENT_ERROR OR UTL_SMTP.PERMANENT_ERROR THEN
    NULL; -- When the SMTP server is down or unavailable, we don't have
    -- a connection to the server. The QUIT call will raise an
    -- exception that we can ignore.
    END;
    raise_application_error(-20000,
    'Failed to send mail due to the following error: ' || sqlerrm);
    END;
    Also review the next link for get more information about the UTL_SMTP packege.

    You can also use your favorite connection protocol (ODBC, OLE DB, etc) to connect from Excel to Oracle and pull the data out that way.

    Hi
    Could you please help me on accessing data in AS 400 from Oracle database? what are the main things to do? Any private documentation or any oracle metalink note please...

    Please find the details given below....Any body can help me on this please....

A real time ODBC needs to be done to the AS/400 system to retrieve values for the respective fields. This has never been tested before as it impacts many areas.
    The DBA team need to work to establish such a relationship and a report needs to be written in Oracle to have this tested on a real time basis. Mapping needs to be developed on the Oracle side to grab the correct fields

  • Error calling BLS from oracle database

    Hi Experts,

    This used to work fine in 11.5 but when we upgraded to 14.0 it is not working. We have maintained server details in \etc\host file.
    We were getting error in file 'Error 1 Text.txt'. "A possible Cross-Frame Scripting attack has been prevented. Please contact your system administrator or refer to" this was the last error message. We checked this on SCN and based on the search results we have implemented SAP note 1651004 wherein setting in netweaver is required to be changed. After note was implemented we are getting another error text ('Error 2 Text.txt') "This will happen if the browser running the page tha".
