Standalone Desktop Database

Is Oracle Lite an appropriate product for a standalone desktop database?
User interface is to be developed in Java.
Right now my other choice is MS Access (which I really don't want to use!)
The application and associated database needs to be transportable onto
different laptops. A installable demonstration version of the application and database will need to be loaded onto a CD and shipped to potential users.
Thanks,

Hi
I do not think Oracle Lite is the product you need.
In you case, it seems that you want to developp an application which will be single user. I mean that your users are not related to each others, and do not have to retrieve/upload data from/to a shared database
But Oracle Lite is an appropriate product when you want many users to be able to synchronize their data with one central database.
Take a look at http://www.oracle.com/database/Lite_Edition.html and you'll see Oracle Lite is too big compared to what you need to do, plus it does not fit.
Hope this helps

Looking for a simple, standalone desktop app for web stats

Well, I see they've changed the forums here again. SIGH.
Anyway, a certain web host has eliminated AWStats from it's shared hosting. So I used Webmaster Tools. And now they've changed, and no longer display the simple visitors and hits. Google Analytics is way too complex for what I need, as are many of the stats programs I've looked into.
I can download the daily Apache log files, that's no problem. Just looking for a small standalone program to import these and show the data like AWStats. Any suggestions? The only other options would be to go to a different web host. Not a big deal overall, but I would rather not deal with the hassle, especially the migrating the database.

Not sure of standalone 'desktop' apps. But check out http://www.openwebanalytics.com/ and Web Analytics in Real Time | Clicky - they're both very intuitive and easy to use with a lot more simplified stats than Google Analytics.

Deployment issues-java desktop database application

hello,
i'm vasant...recently visited an online tutorial for creating java desktop database application
here is the URL [http://www.netbeans.org/kb/docs/java/gui-db.html#running-outside-IDE] ...
everything works fine...when building and executing the application from within the NetBeans IDE..6.7
but as instructed in that tutorial...when I tried to run the .jar file after exiting the netbeans IDE, it didnt run...
infact direction has been given in that tutorial for this in the last section....which says that i've to start Java DB from outside the Netbeans IDE...that's where difficulty arises....
i've no idea how to start Java DB manually...
i'd really appreciate if nybody der could...help me out plz
thanx

the reason they say is that i've to start Java DB from outside of the IDE...that is wat my problem is ..
i dont know how to start Java DB from outside the Netbeans ide...You are not telling us anything.
If I tell you "my automobile doesn't work" how do you know what is wrong. Instead I need to tell you one of the following.
1. The engine didn't start.
2. The wheel fell off.
3. The engine caught fire.
4. When I went to the driveway the car wasn't even there.
When you "run" something then something happens. When I run notepad from a console window if notepad is not in the path then I will get an error about command not found. if it is in the path then the command executes and notepad pops up. Even if I don't see notepad pop up I know that the command seemed to execute from the command window.
The above are examples of describing what you did and what did happen. In detail.
"It doesn't work" provides neither detail about how you ran it nor what did happen when you did attempt to run it.

Desktop database

dear community,
I am planing a java-project which needs a desktop-database for the windows platform. the database should handle about 5 to 7 tables . for updates later, the tables must be created and droped by the java-code and not by any database-admin-tool. the database (and its drivers) must be VERY easy to install because, as we know, end-licence-consumer are often stupid. at its best there is no need for the user to touch it.
the database type should be relational and SQL must be implemented.
does someone have suggestions or experiences?
thanks

gammloopMy first choice would always be Oracle but for 5-7 tables it would be an overkill. For such a case in windows environment I would guess access would be a good choice. You could use a jdbc odbc bridge. And if I am not wrong in this particular scenario the user doesnot even have to have the access database installed on his computer. Just putting the mdb file and setting the dsn properly would do.

Install Standalone Oracle Database under Grid Infrastructure+ASM 11.2.0.2.

Hello. How should I install a 10.2 standalone server over ASM disks to be managed under Clusterware 11.2.0.2 in a 2 node cluster ? I mean, should I make 2 independent software/local installations and 1 database creation or is there a way to install on both nodes at the same time (like ASM in the Grid Installation)? Also, could be a RAC One Node installation be an alternative for this purpouse? Suppouse with RAC One Node it would not be a 10.2 server. But If I were looking for a 11.2.0.2 server what would be the differences between this 2 installations (2 standalones and 1 RAC One Node) ?
Thanks.

hi
basically you install automatically both grid (clusterware) and db software on all nodes defined during installation process.
But I see you want to manage 10g db by 11g clusterware, right?
You can add any application to be managed this way (automatic startup, sequence of startup...).
I'm afraid you need to add it manually to OCR (crs_register/unregister utilities).
When installing different versions of oracle software you need different localtions for their homes.

Missing Templates for Standalone Oracle Database

According to this link: [Templates Overview|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/vm/overview/templates-101937.html]
and this link: [Database Template|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/vm/database-092479.html] ...
There should be a template for a standalone (non-RAC) database.
But when you go to eDelivery there is no such template.
Why does Oracle not provide a template for the standalone database ???

You can use the templates for Oracle Enterprise Linux.
According to Readme:
"The oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall package is installed in the templates
before the Oracle Linux 6 Update 4 templates. This package installs software
packages and sets system parameters that are required for Oracle single instance
and Real Application Cluster install for Oracle Linux Release 6.
This package creates the 'oracle' user, with an initial login group of 'oinstall',
a supplementary group of 'dba', and a home directory of /home/oracle. The
Oracle-validated package disables logins by the user 'oracle', and the password is
locked for the 'oracle' user by default. To enable the 'oracle' user account, log in
as the 'root' user to the guest virtual machine after it is booted."
If you choose to use OEL 6 Update 4 you can install the package using the package manager.

Which tool to use for desktop database app (.exe), flash or flex?

I have spend some time trying to compare the tools, but still something not clear.
The final app should be an .EXE file. There's no web access needed, only local data base access.
What I currently know is that flash cs5 allows to export a projector file (.exe), but not sure about it has database access, and for flex desktop application, it all AIR based so final file is not .exe.
Thanks!

Your question is not very clear... if I look at the header of your request you are asking for database tool? if thats the case their are a ton of them sql developer, toad, etc... if you are looking for an exe file out of flex your sadly mistaken. flex produces a swf file html file and a couple of other java files... then you slap those on the server and browse to the html page.
hope that helps.

How to make two standalone oracle databases into master/slave relationship

i'm not talking about RAC...
is there any way to make two oracle databases into master/slave relationship? one is hot one is cold, when the hot one is down, the cold one automatically picks up? and of course two databases are in sync all the time.
any experience?

DataGuard is an enterprise edition feature.
You could roll your own standby database by cloning the production system to a backup server and writing scripts that copy the archived log files from the primary to the standby and that apply the archived logs on the standby. Of course, the transactions that had been applied to the primary that were still in the primary's redo logs would be lost if the primary were to fail. DataGuard provides options to keep the standby more closely in sync with the standby to reduce or eliminate that risk, which is one of the reasons that it's an enterprise edition feature.
If you're on Windows, Oracle FailSafe may also be something to look at.

Anyone using Extensis Portfolio v8.5.8 standalone (desktop) version with Mavericks?

Extensis has retired this excellent software at v8.5.8a and I will be forced to find a replacement soon, but until I do I need to be careful not to break it with other upgrades. I am currently running OS 10.7.5 on my 2009 Mac Pro and feel it's about time for an OS upgrade. I know Portfolio 8.5.8 is compatible with Mountain Lion but I am not sure about Mavericks, so I need to find a fellow user since Portfolio support and forums have been shut down. I'm hoping someone here might be using Portfolio with Mavericks, or can point me to a place where I might find a someone who is. I want to upgrade to OS 8 or OS 9, depending on the highest version that will work with Portfolio v9.5.8.

2. Type %appdata%
3. Once #2 is typed, you should be in the file called "Roaming". When you are there, find your Skype file and delete it.

Binding Database Tables in Desktop App

I ve created a desktop database app with master and detail tables. I created new/edit/delete functions. I also added a new JDialog that has 2 tables. One of these tables has a foreign key that is primary key of the other table and another foreign key that is primary key of the master table. I want to bind these two tables of JDialog to have master/detail relation. I mean when I select a row in one table I want to see related rows in other table like master/detail tables in the main form. I created firepropertychange support but I think they are not enough.
The code is:
        super(parent, modal);
        initComponents();
        courtTable.getSelectionModel().addListSelectionListener(
                new ListSelectionListener() {
                    public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
                        firePropertyChange("recordSelected", !isRecordSelected(), isRecordSelected());
        trialTable.getSelectionModel().addListSelectionListener(
                new ListSelectionListener() {
                    public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
                        firePropertyChange("detailRecordSelected", !isDetailRecordSelected(), isDetailRecordSelected());
                });I want to show trials of the selected court.
Thanks...

Thanks Michael. I turned on the tracing, as outlined in the articles, and it gave me a good view into the screens and such as they were loading.
However nothing amiss showed up, all seemed fine in the trace log. I did try to access my 'Incidents' table directly via the OData endpoint and no data returned, whereas all my other tables did have data.
That made me think (for once)...I went back to my solution and set a breakpoint in the Incidents_Filter method, meaning the filter method that comes standard for all tables. Sure enough, I had some code in there that only showed data for people in
the 'Administrator' group and/or the default, VS2013 'TestUser' account that comes out of the box with all LS solutions.
A week prior, I showed a coworker how to use the DesktopClient interface to set up groups and roles. We somehow inadvertently changed the 'Administrator' group to 'Administrators' during the tutorial. Aaaargh!
So when running locally under the TestUser account, things were fine, but in Azure the filter kept out all the data for this table since no one was in that 'Adminstrators' group. The breakpoints tip Michael gave me earlier tripped the wire, but the
tracing information helped too, and will be a very useful addition to the toolbox.
Thanks!

Using oracle lite as a standalone database

we are currently using olite 4.0 as a standalone/embedded database. although some form of data synchronisation is required, it is handled separately by our own program.
to use oracle 9i lite as a standalone/embedded database seems like a daunting task now. the environment now is much more complex compared to olite 4.0.
any idea how I can use oracle 9i lite just for the database only, without installing all the unnecessary stuffs?
thanks.

Hi,
I have been using Oracle Flashback Database for a long time in our test environments. As you already said, I recommend that you create Guaranteed Restore Points rather than rely on db_flashback_retention_target. If you are planning to use Guaranteed Restore Points only, then you don't need to turn on flashback. If flashback database is not enabled, then the database must be mounted, not open, when creating the first guaranteed restore point (or if all previously created guaranteed restore points have been dropped).
My Answers:
1) I don't think so. Flashback database is faster compared to RMAN restore/recover operations.
2) Create a backup ins not mandatory, but is a good practice.
3) I created a Nagios plugin that take this work for me, but you can check the v$recovery_file_dest view from time to time.
4) If you take a backup then I don't see a problem, but take care that flashback database relies not only on flashback log files but also in archive redo log files. I recommend you to delete archivelogs (from RMAN) after you drop the restore point.
5) Flashback log files are automatically deleted after the Guaranteed restore points are deleted.
6) Read documentation, make more tests. In 2011 I wrote an article (Brazilian Portuguese) about Flashback Database. Maybe you can take a look ;-)

Database Performance Evaluation Benchmarking Tuning

Does anyone by chance have any articles or websites that deal with Oracle (or generic) database performance evaluation, benchmarking, and/or tuning for a STANDALONE PC database installation? I have Oracle 10g installed on my personal machine and I want to find some information that will help me place the performance evaluation into a more professinal context. Any links relating to this would be very appreciated.
regards,
John

Why do you expect there to be a difference in evaluating performance for a standalone PC database installation vs. a server database installation? Other than the fact that, presumably, you won't find network events in the top wait events, I'm hard-pressed to think of any differences.
You would evaluate performance and tune the system the same way on a standalone database as on a database on a server box-- you would figure out what operations are important, figure out how quickly those operations need to run, figure out which of the important operations are running slowly, figure out what those operations are spending time doing, and then figure out how to reduce the runtime. Of course, each of those steps can potentially be rather involved. There are plenty of articles and books on performance tuning-- Oracle has a few manuals, Jonathan Lewis's book on the cost based optimizer is excellent, Cary Millsap's optimization book is top flight, etc.
As for benchmarking, unless the intention is to run something like the TPC benchmark on your desktop, which would seem odd, your benchmark is generally closely tied to your application-- i.e. figuring out how quickly the system performs a particular business operation. Generic benchmarks like TPC tend not to be particularly useful in the real world because they are unlikely to mimic your real workload.

Deploying FX as a Desktop App - jnlp file codebase should be...what?

Howdy,
If I try and run my deployed JavaFX app on another PC I get an error pointing back to the codebase that NB created in the <appname>.jnlp file:
codebase="[http://localhost:8082/servlet/org.netbeans.modules.javafx.project.JnlpDownloadServlet/E%3A/JavaFX/Projects/Concentration/Concentration11/dist/]"My main question is, for a standalone desktop FX app you want to distribute, what should the codebase be?
I assume you don't point to your developer machine's URL because of course that won't exist on someone else's machine. And unlike most web examples, this won't be running from a server.
Many other examples refer to running the jar file from the command prompt - not acceptable if you are selling an applet, or even just distributing to the general public.
So how does this work - how do you set up the jnlp file for desktop deployment? And, do you have to manually do this, or is there something I am missing in NB (6.8) ?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Phil and thank you. I admit have been avoiding learning to compile from the command prompt or with other tools due to the ease that NB affords - but it seems that NB is introducing some issues lately.
I haven't tried the other tools yet, but I thought maybe I could just edit the NB created jnlp file:

Way to verify if newly imported images ARE NOT already in database?

i keep my images in Aperture on v3.4.5 on my Mac Pro and in the past have simply imported images using USB. after starting to use Photo Stream over the last two years it has seemed to me (just from a kind of naive look) that some of my images from my iPhone get imported to the MBP into Photo Stream (Aperture v3.5.1), some to the Mac Pro, and (i assume) some to both.
it also appears to me that if you /change/ your settings for Do Not Import Duplicates from Yes to No, or from No to Yes, (i.e. check or uncheck this option) that it is very easy to ALSO end up (say for instance on my Mac Pro where all my images are supposed to be neatly stored) with /some/ of your images ONLY in the PhotoStream project /and/ also to have some other images in BOTH the Photo Stream projects /and/ in the "non-Photo Stream projects" (i.e. in "regular" projects).
just having this latter issue basically makes a total mess of your database (since you have /some/ of your images /only/ in the Photo Stream projects) but if you add the former issue (some images only in the MBP database and some only in the Mac Pro database) then things are almost truly wrecked.
so - what i would like to know is if i EXPORT images from my MacBook Pro and i then IMPORT them into the Mac Pro database should Aperture pick up duplicates if i have Do Not Import Duplicates checked? also, i would like to know if it is possible to VERIFY through some method whether the newly imported images are, or are not, already in the database.
i am currently exporting images from the monthly dated Photo Stream projects on my MacBook Pro and then importing the images into the respective Photo Stream projects on my Mac Pro - and it does in fact seem to me that these photos do NOT exist in the Photo Stream projects on my Mac Pro. i say this since the new images get added to the Photo Stream project for that month with the next chronological number in that month (at least on my first month i have tested). they also do not seem to exist already in the Photo Stream database in, for instance, the next month which is where i would logically look for them. this then would mean that there is a very large amount of image loss in my database which is a problem.
so what i would like to do is /check/ somehow to see if the images may in fact be already in the database but happen to have not made it into the Photo Stream project for the month (i.e. they /only/ exist somewhere else in the non-Photo Stream projects).
note: for instance can i manually search somehow for "IMG_6789", which just came in with 250+ images in from "Feb 2013 Photo Stream" on my MBP and is now in "Feb 2013 Photo Stream" on my Mac Pro to verify whether this already exists or has been newly added?
please not that i cannot visually search for anything because the database is too large and i do not know where this image may reside without searching or finding it through a Aperture command.
THANKS

hi leonie. thank you for this help.
first can you please tell me if setting Photo Stream on my Mac Pro to ON and turning Do Not Import Duplicates to CHECKED/ON (say if i start new with Photo Stream) has the consequence of ONLY importing images to my PS projects via WiFI and that any time i hook up my phone via USB (as i /had/ been doing) Aperture will then only import anything that has NOT already been imported to PS projects and it will put this in a "non-Photo Stream project"? i mean, i have realized recently that turning this ON may have completely changed the way i import images and done so in a way that puts some images from Camera Roll in one place and some images in another place.
i will divide up the rest into two parts:
1. can you please tell me what the actual difference is between exporting images as Kind Versions and Kind Originals? i am (unfortunately) already doing this as Kind Versions and it appears to be working at least visually - by which i mean when i import photos in this manner to the Mac Pro that these images come into the monthly projects with images and file numbers that do not currently exist in this album. this means that these images (so far ALL of them) were in the laptop database but not on the desktop database (at least as far as Photo Stream is concerned which is all i can figure out right now).
i think it is in fact possible that these images may exist elsewhere in the database (and that Aperture is not picking up the fact that these are duplicates for some reason) but unless i am missing something won't this simply mean that i have a FULL SET of images in the Photo Stream database? anyway, i am not sure which is better - to catch these coming in as duplicates and to not import them or to import them into the Photo Stream projects, have them all in the database in these projects, and to deal with how they exist out of the Photo Stream projects by putting them where they belong and then running a de-duplication routine.
2. the issue that i have been able to understand (with your help) is that when i turned Photo Stream ON, that this Do Not Import Duplicates setting was somewhere buried in my UI independent of Photo Stream settings (which has it's own poorly explained and poorly understood settings) and that this was set to ON or it was set to OFF. if it was CHECKED/ON then i was /ONLY/ importing images to my PS projects which was a total 180 degree change from my normal Aperture methodology and simply put images into PS projects and NOTHING went into my normal projects to sort later as i had been doing. then to compound the issue - when i hooked up my iPhone it would ONLY import images that did /not/ get synced to Aperture and get uploaded to the PS projects and it would tell me how many were already imported and how many were new and APERTURE WOULD SPLIT THESE UP INTO non-PS projects and PS projects which basically makes a total mess of my database.
i mean, what you were able to show me is that i DON'T KNOW what i had set originally but i think i had this setting set to OFF which would give me images both in the PS projects and in the non-PS projects as duplicates (assuming there weren't other issues) but i would ideally like to have had PS projects as just a kind of appendage or an unimportant piece of my database for reference only and to keep importing images via USB as i had done in the past and if this is what i had wanted (and if Photo Stream was implemented in an intuitive way that i as an intelligent computer person could understand) - well i would have set the do not import duplicates to OFF so that the PS images were duplicates of my normal USB imports.
but this - as i write - makes me realize that it has the unintended consequence of letting me import CAMERA ROLL images that were not deleted into my "non-Photo Stream projects" which as you indicate i don't want so this setting seems like it sets up a classic catch 22.
