Schema/Application connection

Hi
I'm wondering whether it is possible to set the parsing schema at runtime, without manually editing the application attributes.
This would facilitate moving an application between a testing and production environment, amongst other things.
I have noted the set_schema procedure in the apex_application_install package, but I was thinking more along the lines of having a dropdown schema choice on the login page.
I appreciate that this would mean that different users might use the same application running against different schemas simultaneously, which might present problems for the apex engine. But it seems to me that if this is not possible then the alternative is a process involving copying an app, renaming/renumbering, editing attributes and so forth, whenever you make/test/release even a minor change, which provides much more opportunity for error than the change itself.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards
CS

Same Application connecting to different schemas

I currently have a single version of my application that is tied to a workspace/schema. My client is now requesting to have the same application connect to additonal test and training schema so they can play (without changing live data).
What is the best approach for setting this up. Do I create a new workspace for each schema they want and import my application into it? Do I need to change the application ID when I import so the URL is different for each connection?

Hello:
You probably want to create a workspace for each schema. I don't think you can re-use application ids in your situation where the workspaces are all in a single APEX installation.
You could specify an appropriate alias for your application in each workspace and address the application using the alias
http://apexhost:7777/f?p=TEST
http://apexhost:7777/f?p=TRAIN
etc

Default Schema in connection URL

I'd like to set default database schema in Connection URL
jdbc:oracle:thin:@<server>:<port1521>:<sid>
I need to query database without schema prefix
*select monkey_name from animals.monkey*
ie. When I run
select monkey_name from monkey
it will use animals schema by default.
Anyone with solution?
Thanks

Hi,
aftre reading the response of tarpaw and castorp I build a simple test case that demonstrates the DBCP feature:
package org.jpadbf.jdbc;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
import org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource;
public class TestDBCPConnection {
     private static final String THIN_DRIVER="jdbc:oracle:thin:@";
     private static String databaseUrl="localhost:1521:ORCL";
     private static String username="test1";
     private static String password="test1";
create table TEST_INSERT(ID NUMBER not null, DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(100));
grant select on test_insert to test1;
     * @param args
     * @throws SQLException
     public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException {
          DataSource dataSource = getDBCPDataSource(databaseUrl, username, password,1,20);
          Connection conn=dataSource.getConnection();
          try {
               testQuery(conn);
          } finally {
               conn.close();
     public static void testQuery(Connection conn) throws SQLException {
          Statement statement =conn.createStatement();
          try {
               ResultSet resultSet=statement.executeQuery("select 1 from test_insert");
               try {
                    if (resultSet.next()) {
                         if (resultSet.getInt(1)!=1) {
                              throw new RuntimeException ("Invalid query result");
               } finally {
                    resultSet.close();
          } finally {
               statement.close();
     public static DataSource getDBCPDataSource(String jdbcUrl, String username, String password, int minConncetions, int maxConnections) throws SQLException {
          BasicDataSource dataSource= new BasicDataSource();
          dataSource.setDriverClassName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
          dataSource.setUrl(THIN_DRIVER + jdbcUrl);
          dataSource.setUsername(username);
          dataSource.setPassword(password);
          dataSource.setInitialSize(minConncetions);
          dataSource.setMaxActive(maxConnections);
          dataSource.setMaxWait(1000);
          List<String> sqls=new ArrayList<String>();
          sqls.add("ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = TEST");
          dataSource.setConnectionInitSqls(sqls);
          return dataSource;
And it seems work nicely.
the initSQLS property is added in version 1.3 (On my pc, before running this test case I had version 1.2).
Runnign the test case showed that I give you a wrong sql the correct is:
ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = ANIMALS
note the _ before CURRENT and SCHEMA

Application connection with DBs

Just want to clear my concepts , how applications connect to DBs, normally we setup oracle DB network like listener.ora, tnanames.ora & sqlnet.ora and forward the tnsname entry to developers....i am wondering how they connect the DBs ....do they use ODBC, JDBC etc / what are the most popular connection method after we hand over tnsname to developer.....

Ask the developers what they do. Noone here can tell you what your clients are doing.

PDA Application Connect to Database

Hi,
I want to develop application sit on PDA(like iPAQ) eg.Contact Manager (to keep personal contact). this require a database to keep all these information in the PDA so that can be retrieve.
Its there any Micro-Database that can be installed into PDA (free?).
Please show me the link to get this Installaler, JDBC and documentation.
Please show me also the way to create database and table in PDA. and step to install this micro-db into the PDA.
It would be more helpful, if someone can give me some simple example of a PDA Application connect to Database.
Thanks in advance, Regards

Open source one is :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/hsqldb
This one is not absolute free but the price is quite compelling.$995 for unlimited install.

Even SQL CE from MS is free, as long as you not use it connected to backend system. so if u could work out other sync implementation or u dont need data sync at all, this might be a choice too. The issue is no official JDBC driver for SQL CE though there is for SQL server.
However, I have no hand on experience on those 3. We are evaluating Pointbase Micro, thought not free.l

Java Application connectivity to Coherence cluster

I am looking around the options for Java application connecting to Coherence cluster..
These are the options I seem to have
1. Coherence Extend -
2. Make Java application as a cluster member with no storage
what are the pros/cons?
Thanks

Hi,
Here are my thought off the top of my head
*1. Use Extend if...*
<li> Your application is short lived - i.e. does not run for very long (minutes)
<li> Your application is not located close (in network terms) to the rest of the cluster
<li> Your client uses a different version of Coherence to the cluster (there are caveats around this)
<li> The client application is being developed by another team and its release cycle is not under your control
Pros:
Good for short lived applications
Good for remotely located clients
Can be written in other languages than Java
Cons:
Extend will perform slower than a cluster member as every request goes via the proxy server and then to the rest of the cluster.
If using an invocation service where you want to run invocables across the cluster it needs a two step process.
A badly written Extend client can perform requests which could take out the proxy server
*2. Use a cluster member if...*
<li> Your application runs for a long time - i.e. it is something like a web or application server
<li> Your application is well behaved - i.e. does not have big GC pauses. A very badly behaved cluster member can destabilize the rest of the cluster
<li> Your application is located close (in network terms) to the rest of the cluster
Pros:
Faster than an Extend client
Cons:
Needs to be stable
Needs to be located close to the rest of the cluster
Hope that helps as a start

How does PeopleSoft ( web application) connect to DB ?

Hi,
How does PeopleSoft ( web application) connect to its Oracle database, does it use JDBC or OCI or else ?
Thank you.

The webserver is connecting to the application server through the Jolt port, and the application server is connecting to the database within a database client installation (runtime).

CDA XML Schema Data Connection

I have been experimenting in Adobe Designer 7.0 and want to create an CDA XML schema data connection. I used the directions in the help screen and was almost finished, but I got a pop up box that said that my XML schema file was too big. What are the size limits for XML schema files?
Linda

usually you can make the binding global and all same named fields will end up with the same value. You may not be able to do that if you have bound your field to a data node in your XML. If that is the case then you will have to do it programatically. Lets assume you have Order_Number on Page 1 and Order_Number2 on Page 2. You would code on the calculate event of the 1st Order_Number field (the one where the number is calculated) - form1.Page2.Order_Number2.rawValue = form1.Page1.Order_Number.rawValue;
You can add multiple statements to equate that value to other instances of the field as you see fit. Now when any one of those values changes all of the others will be updated auto-magically!

SCC Security Configuration (Application Connection)

Hi,
while creating a new application connection, one has to choose which kind of security configuration you should take. Per default you can choose "basic" and "admin". Is there any "best practice" for security settings on production systems? The only information I found is not to use "basic" on production systems...

You should not use the default security profiles in production environment. Given below is the available built in securities you can configure for your app.

How Does an Application connect to the DB after authentication

We working on a prototype to implement the OID
and achieve Single Sign On.
We have an OID installed,
The wallet manager installed.
The Wallet Client Installed.
We have an DN entry created into the OID.
We then login into the Wallet client.
How do we connect to the database..?
Or how will an application connect into the database.
We have the users created into the database as:
"create user <username> identified globally as <Complete DN for the user>;"
Is it through Net8 LDAP Native Naming Adapter.
Where can I find some more info on this LDAP Native Naming Adapter.
Regards,
Puneet

Hello Puneet:
Are you trying to acheive Enterprise user authentication useing OID? If so you should visit our Advanced Security web page
located at:
http://otn.oracle.com/deploy/security/aso/content.html
There are a few technical whitepapers you should read there. Namely "Enterprise user security" and
"Oracle Advanced Security: Security and Directory Integration"
Let me knwo if this helps
