Title:      Java SE for Embedded Meets Oracle Berkeley DB at the Edge
Abstract:      This session covers a special case of edge-to-enterprise computing, where the edge consists of embedded devices running Java SE for Embedded in combination with Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition, a widely used embedded database. The approach fits a larger emerging trend in which edge embedded devices are "smart"--that is, they come equipped with an embedded (in-process) database for structured persistent storage of data as needed. In addition, these devices may optionally come with a thin middleware layer that can perform certain basic data processing operations locally. The session highlights the synergies between both technologies and how they can be utilized. Topics covered include implementation and performance optimization.

Title:      Developing Applications with Oracle Berkeley DB for Java and Java ME Smartphones
Abstract:      Oracle Berkeley DB is a high-performance, embeddable database engine for developers of mission-critical systems. It runs directly in the application that uses it, so no separate server is required and no human administration is needed, and it provides developers with fast, reliable, local persistence with zero administration. The Java ME platform provides a new, rich user experience for cell phones comparable to the graphical user interfaces found on the iPhone, Google Android, and other next-generation cell phones. This session demonstrates how to use Oracle Berkeley DB and the Java ME platform to deliver rich database applications for today's cell phones.

Can I disable logging for session in Oracle 10g?

I use a procedure to delete a lot of row for an application repeatedly. Because the DELETE statement is time consuming and the data don't need to be archived, I decide to use the nologging option.
How to do it?
What is the best choice? Can I disable logging from session in Oracle 10g?
Thank you
Edited by: jetq on Jul 23, 2009 9:46 AM

Hi,
"Delete" without generating redo-log is not possible.
If you are on 10g, one way of making this thing efficiant is partition the table, with range-list partitioning. Partitioning existing table will be an excercise in itself, but that will be one time activity.
In partitioned (or sub-partitioned) tables, you can truncate a partition (or subpartition). That won't generate any redo log (or very very less redo log) and that runs in seconds.
In your case if you range partition INCOMING table by datetime (1 partition per day) and list sub-partition it by STATUS, that would help.
Another approach is, if you are deleteing, say 80% records every day and leaving 20% (or very less) records. What you can do is, partition the table only by range on datetime. Then, every time you want to delete data, copy the rows you want to keep in some other table (or temporary table), truncate partition for that day and insert rows back (which you want to keep).
I have done a similar thing and it works very quickly and generates very less redo log. Redo log generated in case of truncating partition or creating new partitions is just for Oracle internal commands (like data dictionary update etc).
Have fun.

Limit open connections per each database session in Oracle 11

Hi for All,
Please, I would like to know what the limit of connections per session in Oracle 11. This issue is relevant to the use of UTL_TCP for connections with ATMs. Also, someone would have some other approach or suggestion of communication architecture with Automated Teller Machine?
Regards,
Edited by: user11118871 on 04/02/2010 07:30

I suspect Spotlight is showing you the PGA plus the entire mapped portion of shared memory or the total of all shared memory pages visited. On HP-UX these are the kind of numbers you would get from ps, which may be Spotlight's source for the data.
The glance utility of HP-UX is a more useful way to obtain detailed information on process memory usage.

Killing Sessions in Oracle

Hai all..
I need the solution of how to kill the session after the time has elapsed..
say
if the database is idle for 5 minutes. then the session should be automatically dropped .
I use VB/ORacle.
Do anyone know how to kill the session in oracle from any front end say Visual Basic / any other front end.
IS there a possibility to close the session.
kndly let me know the solution for this problem.
Thanx in advance
Gayathri

maybe you can do it through oracle user's profile.
you can try to look into proper oracle docs. Yes, see the idle_time resource parameter of the create profile statement:

How to block Sql Plus sessions in Oracle 10g

Hi,
I want to block all sql plus sessions in oracle 10g, as we have a application and we need each and every one to use this application not the sql plus session.
Kindly update us as soon as possible. and also thanks in advanced.

Understand the concept Karl, but a layered defense seldom works in the IP world. If I manage to get through the firewall, then how can you prevent me access, at IP level, at any other ISO stack layer? If you manage to get through, then your firewall policies could just be too weak :) at least you must have some kind of an IDS infrastructure in place..
what I mean is, you can have infinite number of threats.. and this will be part of your Risk Analysis. Determining all possible threats to the assets, what are being protected and their associated value, and predicting the rate of occurrence.... with all of these you could probably come up with contingency plans and incident response.. And most of all, you should not ignore the fact that people are creative, ingenious, and curious, and they'll prove this to you by testing your security implementations. So you'll have to periodically evaluate your security.. that's why there are audits.. Also, you must balance Security, Performance, Usability, and your Budget.
Yes, you can argue that if the entire firewall goes down (thus no IP defense), then something like DBV (or even denying IPs in sqlnet) can provide some defense. But is that not then a case of too little too late? It's better too little too late, than no protection at all... Imagine if there's no DBV, or if you have not implemented the concept of "Least Privilege"? or if the backups and exports are not encrypted? That would be more devastating.. that's the importance of database security options and features in providing "defense in depth"
I question just what purpose and how effective IP packet security is at higher layers. It can never substitute doing this instead at firewall level. Well, it's not all about network security. All facets must be considered and the inter-relationships should be understand. Like the core information security and access management, physical and personnel security, training them, etc... And all of these are equally important in providing a secure ecosystem
As for security that relies on the client to pass secure data (like executable name or o/s user name)... all this can easily be spoofed. Even if the app and Oracle driver are somehow digitally signed and these signatures can be verified on the server side, we only need to look at Vista to see how secure this really would be. Microsoft attempted to encrypt every single h/w and s/w layer from the physical DVD track to the pixel on the monitor.. and this was defeated. And this was done as o/s kernel level. It is less complex to hack at driver level and even trivial to do it at application level.Security is about risk management. Blocking SQL*Plus does not negate the risk of SQL from the wild being run on a production server. For example, the client is a VB client using ODBC. It is easy to create a proxy that accepts the ODBC connection from the VB client and proxy the OCI packets to the real Oracle server. Now you have a man-in-the-middle than can inspect every single SQL call made to Oracle, and inject any PL/SQL or SQL code it wants.
Security is far beyond writing a login trigger to deny SQL*Plus sessions and calling that a defense. >
Yes I agree with you. That's why there are independent organizations and regulating bodies that provides security best practices, to give us a headstart on comming up of strong security policies.
And one of my favorites is the one provided by IASE (sponsored by Defense Information Systems Agency) where there's lot of content regarding hardening and policies

Unable to set session in Oracle Portal useing reverse proxy

I have deployed a reverse proxy (using Oracle HTTP Server) in front of a Oracle Portal Install (version 10.1.2.0.2). The steps followed to set this up came from the following documents:
Steps mentioned in Section 9.2 Configuring a Reverse Proxy for OracleAS Portal and OracleAS Single Sign-On for a reverse proxy on a Oracle HTTP Server.
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_15/core.1012/b13998/variants.htm#ASTED005
Also performed steps mentioned in -> Section 5.3.7 - Step 7: Enable Session Binding on OracleAS Web Cache of the Oracle® Application Server Portal Configuration Guide 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) -- B14037-03.
My current (example names shown only)setup details are as follows:
Reverse Proxy for SSO server (running on internal.oracle.com:7777): proxy.oracle.com:7777
Reverse Proxy for Portal server (running on internal.oracle.com:7778): proxy.oracle.com:7778
With the above steps completed, I can successfully use the http://proxy.oracle.com:7777/pls/orasso for login into SSO without any issues.
Users get authenticated successfully.
I can also use http://proxy.oracle.com:7778/pls/portal for viewing pages on the portal fine . All self referencing links have also been successfully modified to point to proxy.oracle.com:7778.
However, an attempt to login in the portal is not successful. Clicking on the 'Login' link successfully redirects to the SSO login page (http://proxy.oracle.com:7777/<login-page>). However, after successful authentication, the success page fails to show up and the user gets shown the initial login portal home page again.
There are no error messages shown on the screen.But it seems that user session is failing to be initiated/set correctly, as shown by the log file (in $PORTAL_ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/OC4J_Portal/application-deployments/portal/OC4J_Portal_default_island_1/application.log ):

Hi Chris,
The begin of the expection stack gives you the reason:
06/11/03 09:13:59 java.sql.SQLException: The method 'setSavepoint' cant be called when a global transaction is active
The reason is, that either the whole global transaction must be commited or rollbacked.
I don't know your actual configuration, but between the methods begin() and commit()/rollback() of the UserTransaction instance, OC4J/OracleAS uses a global transaction (= XA transaction) in your configuration. The state of a global transactions is completely under the control of the application server and several restrictions must be considered. One of them is, that you can't use the method setSavePoint/. E.g. you can't also call the method setAutoCommit(true) in this state, or change the transaction isolation level via setTransactionIsolation(newLevel).
This is NOT a limitation of the OC4J/OracleAS but is true for ALL application servers.
P.S. I can successfully set savepoints and rollback to savepoints in weblogic 9.0This means, that WebLogic 9.0 doesn't use a global transaction in this case.
Because I don't know your configurations (Oracle and WebLogic) I can't say, why the behave different in this situation.
Best,
Manfred

Too many time to open a session with oracle odbc

I have to migrate an internet site in Sql Server to Oracle.
When I connect Oracle Database with Oracle ODBC, it takes 2 or 3 seconds.
So if i have 8 or 10 recordset to open, it takes 20 s.
But when sessions are open, they live about 1 m and during this time i don't have problem to connect to the database.When i don't use the site during more than 1 m, all sessions are closed and so i have to wait.
How can i connect to the database quickly the first time?

Are you using connection pooling? Are you pre-allocating connections on startup?

Kill Session in Oracle 10g

Oracle 10g r2
I killed a session after fetching the sid and serial from the v$session as under
select * from v$session where username='SAM';
alter system kill session '530,7420'
Now the status showed killed.
But again after some time one i query the v$session the status turn to inactive.
Why so?

Yeah Madrid....
Thanks for that.. at the developer side.. they did get session killed.
But actually my doubt here was. that once i killed the session then i go the status as "killed" in the v$session
but less then a minute when i again query the v$session then i see the status aa inactive. This is what is not clear to me.

Is there a limit to sessions on Oracle?

Hi,
I have an issue on 10g Oracle. We have x ammount of services that need to connect to Oracle to run an application.
We have an app server that needs to connet to the DB server. App server is running Server 2003
For some reason Oracle will only allow up 230 sessions to be created. We cannont get this to increase. We extened the ammounts of services to be run on the App server, but still no joy.
Another server has Oracle 9i and it can take close to 300 sessions as one time. Some logs contain the following when services on the app side try to start - 'Authentication adapter initialization failed'.
I checked the sqlnet.ora file and the only difference i can find is the 9i DB server has SQLNET.AUTHETICATION..... commented out. The 10g one uses NTS.
Any ideas as we are stumped!?
Thanks
