Stability of a database created on Oracle 10g Release 10.1.0.3

Hello Friends,
I would like to confirm if Oracle 10g Release 10.1.0.3 is a suitable platform to create Database.
I have heard from a couple of DBAs that it is not a stable release to be creating and administering a Prod d/b and they recommend highly to migrate to 10.1.0.4.
I have very recently configured a 10g d/b on 10.1.0.3 on AIX 5.2 ML 6 platform.
I would like to know if anyone have administering D/bs n 101.0.3 have hit on bugs & whether its worth doing the migration to 10.1.0.4.
Thanking you all in Advance
Cheers...RCube

The problem is, though, that the stability of the product is directly tied to unique aspects of your environment and unique aspects of your applications. If you are a relatively vanilla shop, doing relatively vanilla things, with relatively vanilla hardware, any version of Oracle is going to be stable. Any instabilities ought to show up during development and testing, in which case you can log an appropriate TAR and/or upgrade to a more recent patchset.
Most of the people that encounter problems in any release are doing something unusual. They may be pushing some sort of limit, they may have some esoteric hardware or software setup, they may have a particular application that wants things "just so".
There is a strong reporting bias towar folks reporting problems with any release. No one posts to a newsgroup to say "Hey, my 10g database is doing great today". The people that are most vocal are those that have encountered a problem. The folks that had problems with earlier releases have, for the most part, worked around them or upgraded-- the folks that are still running 7.3.4 are generally very happy with their database, it's been running for years without a problem. Was 7.3.4 more stable than 9.2, 10.1, 8.1.7, etc? Of course not.
I guess my point here is that no one can tell you with any confience that any version of Oracle is stable enough for your particular situation. Were I a betting man, I'd bet that it was. The only way to know for sure, though, is to test.

Standby database creating error oracle 10g

Hi
i created standby database,but i cannot access primary database data. the standby database opened read only.
but i cannot access data from primary.so i check query in standby database,
SQL> SELECT SEQUENCE#, FIRST_TIME, NEXT_TIME FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG ORDER BY SEQUENCE#;
no rows selected.
what i mistake
Regards
S.Azar

It you are not seeing any errors in the primary alert log, then I think that you have defined log_archive_dest_2 to use LOCATION instead of SERVICE. Archive logs have to be transmitted through Oracle Net in order to be automatically registered by the standby database.
Hope this helps.

Hi Rafael
Did you change your shm values in the kernel ? Please check those values in 2.6 Configuring Kernel Parameters
64 bits: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15667/pre_install.htm#i1011296
32 bits: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15660/pre_install.htm#sthref264
Note that you have to increase : semmni, semmns,shmmni should be multiplied by # of instances, SHMMAX should be set to avail memory
Can you please give us your values from your server please?
Your physical memory :
grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
And also the result of
ipcs -l
which release of Linux are working with 32 bits or 64 bits ?

Scripts To Check Database Growth in Oracle 10g

Hi All,
I need your help developing a script to find out the database growth in Oracle 10G on daily, weekly and monthly basis.
In our production database tablespace growth is huge and we are adding data files frequently. Management is asking about the database growth report and I need to present it. Is there any such script which will suffice the purpose.
My database version is 10.2.0.5.
Please help.

How to Connect to Oracle 9i database server via Oracle 10g XE

I have installed Oracle 10g eXpress Edition and uninstalled Oracle 9i client database. I used Oracle 9i client to connect to another Database server on a local LAN. Is it possible to create a database link to the old Oracle 9i database server via Oracle 10g XE? If yes, do I need to add ODBC drivers?
I want to achieve the following:
1) Create a connection to the Oracle 9i database server using Ora101040 odbc drivers.
2) Use a similar 9i tool (Enterprise Management Console) within Oracle 10g XE to access Oracle 9i Database tables on a LAN network.
3) Create data access to Oracle 10g XE via some ODBC connection from a C++ runtime application.
Hope to receive help from Oracle professionals.
Thanks.

I have installed Oracle 10g eXpress Edition and
uninstalled Oracle 9i client database. I used OraclePlease clarify - you uninstalled the 9i database or the 9i client.
9i client to connect to another Database server on a
local LAN. Is it possible to create a database link
to the old Oracle 9i database server via Oracle 10g
XE? If yes, do I need to add ODBC drivers?
Database links between Oracle databases do not require ODBC. They do require Oracle Networking (included with both Oracle9i Database and Oracle Database 10g XE) to be configured correctly.
It is also possible to connect ot the 9i database using the 10g Instant Client (separate download)
I want to achieve the following:
1) Create a connection to the Oracle 9i database
server using Ora101040 odbc drivers.Please clarify - what client do you wish to run that needs ODBC?
2) Use a similar 9i tool (Enterprise Management
Console) within Oracle 10g XE to access Oracle 9i
Database tables on a LAN network.XE does not have an equivalent to Oracle Enterprise Manager. XE does come with HTMLdb preinstalled and configured, and HTMLdb provides a subset of the administration capabilities of Enterprise Manager.
3) Create data access to Oracle 10g XE via some ODBC
connection from a C++ runtime application.You can download ODBC drivers from the same location on OTN you downloaded XE. I do not know whether XE includes ODBC drivers. ODBC drivers will usually still require you to configure the Oracle Networking.
There are a number of items that make me believe you do not have a good grasp of Oracle architecture and basics. If true, I encoureage you to start reading the Concepts manual found for the database at http://docs.oracle.com, or at least the O'Reilly book 'Oracle Essentials' found at http://oracle.oreilly.com

Ideally you would do the hashing of the password inside the client side application so only the Hashed value goes over the network, but the above demonstrates the principle of using hashes to store passwords. Because it's a one way algorithm, only a brute force method can be used to try and determine the original password. There is no way to directly un-hash the value. To check for a valid login, we don't retrieve the password and try to unhash it to compare against what the user has supplied, we actually take what the user has supplied and hash that in the same way and then compare the hashes.
The point of including the username or some other data in the hashing process means that if two users have the same password, they will still have different hash values, so it won't be apparent they are the same passwords. In my example, the point of putting another character between the concatenation of username and password is in case the username and password together would give the same result e.g.
If we had one user "Fred" with password "Fr3ddy" then just concatenating the strings would give "FredFr3ddy".
If we had another user "FredF" and he happened to choose a password "r3ddy" then just concatenating those would also give "FredFr3ddy"
by introducing a known breaking character they would be different e.g. "Fred!Fr3ddy" and "FredF!r3ddy" and hence give different hash values.
That's the basics of how passwords are stored for security.
It would take a lot of processing power and brute force methods just to determine a single password for a single user when using hashing methods of security.
With encryption, a brute force method could be used to find the decryption key, and once found that could be used to decrypt ALL the encyrpted data, hence it is less secure, especially when some clever person will no doubt have written the key down somewhere so they don't forget it. With hashing there's no key to write down.

PUBLIC database account on oracle 10g - what are the default privilages?

Hi there,
I was wondering what are the default privileges to PUBLIC database account on oracle 10g R2. Could somebody explain it? Thank you in advance.

There is not a user PUBLIC. There cannot be a user PUBLIC. Users and roles share the same name space so if there is a role PUBLIC, there can not be a user PUBLIC.
The catalog table user$ contains both roles and users. The usage is determined by the TYPE# column - 1 = user, 0 = role.
select user#, name, type# from user$ order by 1
sys@esdb01:pncl# /
     USER# NAME                               TYPE#

Can we rename the database name in oracle 10g

Hi,
Can we rename the database name in oracle 10g.
Please help

Yes as already said, using DBNEWID Utility can renamed the database name.
You can also take a look at the Oracle Metalink Note:429674.1 (Which was written by me) - Subject: How We Used the Oracle DBNEWID Utility to Change the Database Name

2. Unzip it and run setup.exe
3. It gives an error like below :
"javaw.exe - Entry Point Not Found"
"The procedure entry point longjmp could not be located in the dynnamik link library orauts.dll."
Installation completed(forcefully) without the below.
1. Oracle Net Configuration Assistant (Failed)
2. Oracle Database Configuration Assistant (Failed).
and in services: "No Oracle process exist".
I tried the below:
A. Change the environment variables (remove ORACLE_HOME/ORACLE_SID etc)
B. 2 to 5 times un-install oracle(including registry, directory etc) and install.
C. Uninstall Java SDK & Runtime Env. Then install Oracle.

Hey Guys,
I am Srinivas Here who had been trying to install Oracle Database 10G on Windows X86 on Windows XP Professional.
If you have Win-XP Professional as your Operating System. Do not download the oracle Database using windows - XP Professional because XP will block certain installation files while downloading. In your machine install Windows 2000 or any other Windows version as a dual boot. First the download Database Zip files using your other version of Windows Operating system and then when you Unzip the files it will create a folder called Database and all the files will be present in it.If you want to store the same to cd for having to install the 10G Rel 2 database through CD then copy the contents of the unzipped database folder and store only the contents of the database folder and write them to CD's. Please see to it that while writing on cd's do not copy the folder itself .
After this, restart the system and get into windows XP Professional (Your XP Professional should be with Service Pack 2 in order to install 10G Database on windows XP - The Basic requirements for Oracle Database 10G on Windows X86).
I request you to check the software and hardware requirements from oracle Documents before you install the Oracle Database 10G on Windows x86 as well as Oracle Database 10G on Linux X86 or any other operating systems.
Finally, After you run the Oracle Universal installer in the last you will get messages for all products installed Success and finally it will ask the password for DBA and open the password management and give the password and reenter password and on the left you will have to unlock the items you would like to use.
In the last it will give you various URL links for Isqlplus, DBA, Enterprise Manager and a log report stored into oracle directory stored in your C:\Program files\Oracle folders. The correct link will be given at the end and you will have to watch the installation carefully.You can find DBCA and other options working. Try login in to Oracle through Command prompt, Sqlplus prompt availabe in Start ->Programs->Orahome10G->application Development-sqlplus as well as login through isqlplus link- Before this you should login at the command prompt as SYSDBA. YOU CAN SEE THAT YOUR DATABASE IS NOW WORKING IN WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL.
THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ALL FORUM MEMBERS WHO GAVE ME IDEA AND SUPPORT

Question on replication in Oracle 10G Release 2

Good day,
I have a few questions on setting up replication that fits my scenario described below. Thank you in advance for reading and answering my post.
Scenario
I need to replicate 100-200 tables from the first OLTP server to the second DSS server that is read-only. The servers are physically located in different countries. Both servers use Oracle 10G Release 2. Required frequency of refreshes is 1-3 hours.
Questions
1. Is it optimal to use materialized views with fast/force refreshes for implementation of this scenario? If no, what are the better options?
2. How do network interruptions and latency affect stability of work of replication with materialized views?
3. How big is additional performance overhead at OLTP (source) server due to setting up replication with materialized views?

1) I guess it depends on how you define "optimal". It's certainly a reasonable option. You might also look at Streams or even logical standby databases. There are various trade-offs involved, so it really depends on your environment.
2) What does "stability of work of replication" mean, exactly? Obviously, if the network fails, the replication job(s) will generate errors. Depending on how you set things up, the replication process will be retried after increasing intervals until it succeeds.
3) Maintaining materialized view logs on the OLTP system could certainly impact performance-- the logs have to be maintained synchronously with the OLTP transactions. That may or may not noticably impact OLTP transaction performance-- it's probably roughly equivalent to putting a trigger on each of the 100-200 tables. Something like Streams is designed to put less load on the source system because changes are captured asynchronously.
