Storing formatted text in Oracle 11GR2

One of our developers would like to be able to store and retrieve formatted text in a column in a table in
Oracle 11GR2. The text can contain bold characters, underlines, italics, punctuation, symbols (such as bullets),
CRLF's or pilcrows.
The text must be able to be searched and/or updated using Sqlplus or PL/SQL.
Can anyone suggest a way to do this?
Thank you very much.

The formatting will mostly be what would be coming in from a Word Document, but no HTML. The issue is they need to be able to query the column in the database looking for a specified string in the text and also have the ability to update the text from sqlplus or PL/SQL. It can't be binary so I would think a large varchar2 or a CLOB might work for the datatype but the formatting is still a problem.
I will check out the link you provided.
Thank you!

  • PJC to input formatted text into a long/clob field

    Hi,
    Is there a PJC that can be used to stored formatted text into a LONG/CLOB column in the database (Something similar to the Message field while posting a new thread in this forum). I am using Oracle Forms 10G (9.0.4)
    I would also like to print this formatted text using Oracle Reports 10G (9.0.4).
    Thx in Advance

  • Printing formatted text from an Oracle form

    I'm trying to print formatted text from an Oracle form without using the standard menu print. The print button on the menu prints out the text and the actual form. I just want to print the text that is displayed on the form. I would like to add a print button to the form. Is there a print function or event in PL/SQL?
    Thanks in advance for any help!!
    Jason

    If you are interested in the content of the field you can loop over them (next_item built in) and write their content into a file using the TEXT_IO built in.
    for nicer outputs check out Oracle Reports on OTN.

  • How to store the rich formated text and screendumps in Oracle database

    Hi,
    I will create an FAQ management system. Users can log into the system, search and view the FAQ and answers. To be intractive, the users can also create new FAQ and add the comments on FAQ answers.
    The FAQ answers have rich formated text and the screendumps in the mid part of the answer. It should be presented in one page during user read/update the answers. How can I store the FAQ answer to Oracle database?
    Best regards,
    Ning

    I used blob to store pictures.
    The FAQ answer is the combination item of formated text and pictures. Can I use it to store?
    If I decided to use blob, how can I present the FAQ answers to the web. How can I edit the answer on the web?
    Thank you very much!

    Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition on Linux Ubuntu 11.10 howto
    h2. Purpose
    This document outlines instructions how to install Oracle XE under Ubuntu 11.10.
    Ubuntu or Debian based Linux is not on the list of supported operation systems according to the Oracle documentation at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18802/toc.htm. You may want to consider virtualization software like Oracle Virtualbox and install Oracle Enterprise Linux as a free and professional alternative to installing XE under Ubuntu. You can also download pre-build virtual machines that include Oracle XE. You can browse http://otn.oracle.com/community/developer-vm for more information.

    h2. 1) Install Linux Ubuntu
    The following assumes you have installed Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop Edition for AMD 64-bit, or upgraded from a previous version. Keep in mind that Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition is only available for 64-bit architecture. It is not necessarily a requirement, but I would not bother to install Oracle 11gR2 XE on a system with less than 2 GB of RAM installed. You can download Ubuntu for free at: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu and install it using the default settings provided.
    You can apply the latest OS patch-sets by clicking the power button icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen and selecting "Updates available..."
    h2. 2) Remote Terminal
    You will need command line access to perform the installation tasks. Select the top "Dash Home" button of the Unity toolbar and enter the word "terminal", or use CTRL-ALT-t. If you prefer to open a remote terminal session use SSH. Ubuntu does not come with a secure shell login by default. To install it, use the following command:
    sudo apt-get install openssh-serverYou cannot login as root unless you set a root password using the "sudo passwd root" command. However, you can get root user access using the "sudo" command, which requires only to re-enter the password of your personal account. Access to "sudo" is controlled by the /etc/sudoers file.
    The best way to establish a remote command line session as root is to login with your personal account, e.g.: ssh [email protected], and then type "sudo su -" to become root, or use "sudo <command>" to execute individual commands. If your account does not have "sudo" access you can login as root using "su - root", but will need to know the root password.
    h2. 3) Install Additional Software
    Oracle 11g Express Edition requires additional software that is not installed by default:
    sudo apt-get install alien libaio1 unixodbch2. 4) Managing Swap Space
    Oracle demands that the minimum swap space for Oracle Database XE is 2 GB (2095100 KB) or twice the size of RAM, whichever is lesser. Enter the following shell command to verify your swap space:
    cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i swap
    SwapCached:            0 kB
    SwapTotal:       2095100 kB
    SwapFree:        2095100 kBYou can increase available swap space by using a swap file as long as disk space permits. The advantage of a swap file versus a swap partition is flexible space management because you can add or delete swap space on demand as necessary. The following will create and enable an additional 1 GB swap file at system startup, located in the /home directory:
    Login as root:
    sudo su -Enter the following commands:
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/swapfile bs=1024 count=1048576
    mkswap /home/swapfile
    swapon /home/swapfile
    swapon -aCreate a backup of the original "fstab" file and add the new swap file:
    cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup_`date +%N`
    echo '/home/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0' >> /etc/fstabExit from root and verify the new swap space:
    exit
    swapon -s
    Filename                    Type          Size     Used     Priority
    /dev/sda5                               partition     2095100     0     -1
    /home/swapfile                          file          1048572     0     -2Swap space is not a substitute for installed RAM. Swap space is a safeguard that allows the system to move idle processes to disk before the OOM killer will begin to terminate processes in order to free up enough real memory to keep the system operational. The general rule for sizing the swap space depends on the size of installed RAM. If your system has less then 4 GB of RAM the swap space should usually be at least twice this size. If you have more than 8 GB of RAM installed you may consider to use an equal size as swap space. The more RAM you have installed, the less likely you are going to run into memory starvation, and the less likely you are going to need swap space, unless you have a bad process.
    h2. 5) Modify Kernel Parameters
    Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition requires the following Kernel parameters. Enter the commands exactly as shown:
    Login as root:
    sudo su -Cut & paste the following directly into a command shell (not a text editor):
    cat > /etc/sysctl.d/60-oracle.conf <<-EOF
    # Oracle 11g XE kernel parameters
    fs.file-max=6815744
    net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range=9000 65500
    kernel.sem=250 32000 100 128
    # kernel.shmmax=429496729
    kernel.shmmax=107374183
    EOFLoad and verify the new kernel parameters:
    service procps start
    sudo sysctl -q fs.file-max
    sudo sysctl -q kernel.shmmax
    sudo sysctl -q net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range
    sudo sysctl -q kernel.sem The SHMMAX kernel parameter defines the upper memory limit of a process. It is a safeguard to stop a bad process from using all memory and causing RAM starvation. The Linux default is 32 MB. The official Oracle XE installation documentation suggests a value of 4 GB -1 bytes (429496729). Since Oracle 11g XE has a 1 GB memory limit, a smaller footprint will be a better safeguard for the complete system. Setting the SHMMAX parameter to 107374183 will be sufficient.
    h2. 6) Oracle Home Directory
    At the time of this writing, Enterprise Linux 6 is not supported for Oracle database yet. It is therefore not possible to confirm Oracle ext4 filesystem compatibility, which is default in Ubuntu 11. According to various information, ext4 may cause a performance problem for Oracle 11g database. The following will show you how to add a ext3 partition to your existing setup.
    h3. 6.a) Resize the Root Partition
    Provided you have sufficient free disk space, you should be able to resize the root partition to create an extra ext3 filesystem. Considering the 11 GB user datafile limit of the Express Edition, 18 GB should be more than enough.
    You can use the free Gparted Live CD to shrink your startup volume. Gparted downloads are available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable. When burning the CD, pay attention to burn the raw .iso image and not the possibly "mounted" image. If you are using a virtual machine like Oracle Virtualbox, you can mount the .iso image directly. There are going to be a few prompts when the system starts from the CD, but you can press Return to accept the defaults.
    When the Gparted window appears:
    - Select your ext4 root partition, usually /dev/sda1
    - Select the "Resize/Move" button from the toolbar.
    - Enter 18000 into the "Free space following" field and press the Return key.
      Be careful not not change the start of the partition!
    - Click the "Resize/Move" of the dialog and then then the "Apply" toolbar button.
      The process may take several minutes - do not abandon it!
    - Select the new unallocated free space of ~ 18 GB and push the "New" button.
    - Set the file system to "ext3" and label it "oraclexe" and click the "Add" button.
      Be sure to label it oraclexe, otherwise the follow-up instructions will fail.
    - Finally select "Apply from the toolbar to apply the changes.
    - Quit "Gparted", select "Exit" from the desktop and choose "Reboot" to restart the system.
    {code}
    After the system has restarted, open a terminal command shell.
    Login as root:
    {code}
    sudo su -
    {code}
    Backup "fstab" and add the UUID of the partition. The "tr" command remove the quotes:
    {code}
    cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_`date +%N`
    uuid=`blkid | grep oraclexe | awk '{print $3}'`
    uuid=`echo $uuid | tr -d '\042'`
    echo $uuid
    echo "$uuid  /u01  ext3  errors=remount-ro 0 1" >> /etc/fstab
    {code}
    The UUID is a unique number and should look similar to:
    {code}
    UUID=d1db753e-b5dd-4a4c-a61e-259c69867b58
    {code}
    Restart the system:
    {code}
    reboot
    {code}
    Verify the success:
    {code}
    df -h /u01
    {code}
    h3. 6.b) Setup External Storage
    If you prefer to setup an external drive to install Oracle XE, beware that it can be a fatal mistake to make an entry in /etc/fstab to automount your external storage device.  An unavailable device in /etc/fstab will prevent a system startup and prompt for appropriate actions at the console.
    The following is an example of how to prepare an external storage device to be used for Oracle 11g, including a script to automatically mount an external drive at system startup without the disadvantages of /etc/fstab. The script will also take into consideration that a device name might shift if you attach additional devices.
    To find out which USB devices are connected:
    {code}
    sudo parted -l
    {code}
    Look for the device that matches your USB storage. For example: /dev/sdb1
    {code}
    Model: USB 2.0 Flash Disk (scsi)
    Disk /dev/sdb: 2064MB
    Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
    Partition Table: gpt
    Number  Start   End     Size    File system  Name     Flags
    1      20.5kB  1929MB  1929MB  hfs+         mystick
    {code}
    Initialize the device using ext3 filesystem - this will erase all data. The "-c" option will check for bad blocks (read-only), "-L" is the volume label:
    {code}
    sudo umount /dev/sdb1
    sudo mkfs.ext3 -c -L oraclexe /dev/sdb1
    {code}
    Install the pmount distribution package:
    {code}
    sudo apt-get install pmount
    {code}
    Login as root:
    {code}
    sudo su -
    {code}
    Cut & paste the following into the command prompt (not a text editor):
    {code}
    cat > /etc/init.d/oracle-mount <<-EOF
    #! /bin/sh
    # /etc/init.d/oracle-mount

    {code}
    UUID="3f5e9963-b328-49f3-b3e8-a3561ae34106"
    {code}
    Logout of root and test the init script:
    {code}
    exit
    sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-mount stop
    ls /u01
    sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-mount start
    ls /u01

    h2. 7) ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET
    Oracle 11gR2 XE under Ubuntu 11.10 will result in "ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not support on this system" either at Oracle database startup or during the initial installation. Ubuntu 11.10 uses a new version of the "systemd" system and session manager and has migrated away from /dev/shm and other common directories in favor of /run.
    There are several ways how to address the problem. You can either enable /dev/shm shared memory, or change the default memory management of Oracle 11g from AMM (Automatic Memory Management) to ASMM (Automatic Shared Memory Management) as it was in used the previous 10g version. Since AMM is one of the new features of 11g, the following will show you how to make to make AMM work.

    The upper limit of shared memory under Linux is set to 50 % of the installed RAM by default. If your system has less than 2 GB of RAM installed, there is still a chance to run into ORA-00845 error if your shared memory is used by other software.
    The verify available shared memory, type the following commands:
    {code}
    sudo df -h /run/shm

    h2. 8) Installing Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition
    The final release version of Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition can be downloaded for free at http://otn.oracle.com/database/express-edition/downloads. The software should automatically downloaded into the "Downloads" folder of your home directory.
    Enter the following commands to unpack the installer:
    {code}
    cd ~/Downloads
    unzip oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm.zip
    rm oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm.zip
    {code}
    The Debian Linux based package management of Ubuntu is not compatible with the Red Hat package manager. The Oracle installer needs to be converted using the following commands:
    {code}
    cd ~/Downloads/Disk1
    sudo alien --to-deb --scripts oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm
    (This may take a few minutes)
    rm oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm
    {code}
    The following needs to be set for compatibility:
    {code}
    sudo ln -s /usr/bin/awk /bin/awk
    sudo mkdir /var/lock/subsys
    {code}
    Ubuntu uses different tools to manage services and system startup scripts. The "chkconfig" tool required by the Oracle installer is not available in Ubuntu. The following will create a file to simulate the "chkconfig" tool.
    Login as root:
    {code}
    sudo su -
    {code}
    Copy & paste the following *directly* into the command prompt to create a file:
    {code}
    cat > /sbin/chkconfig <<-EOF
    #!/bin/bash

    h2. 9) Post-Installation
    In order to use sqlplus and other tools, the Oracle account requires specific environment variables. The following will set these variables automatically at every Oracle login:
    Login as the Oracle user:
    {code}
    su - oracle
    {code}
    Copy the default account skeleton files and add the Oracle env script to .profile:

    cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ./
    cp /etc/skel/.profile ./
    echo "" >>./.profile
    echo '. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh' >>./.profile

    By default, the Oracle Database XE graphical user interface is only available at the local server, but not remotely. The following will enable remote logins:
    Login as the Oracle user:
    {code}
    su - oracle
    {code}
    Login as SYSDBA and execute the following:
    {code}
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL> EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETLISTENERLOCALACCESS(FALSE);
    exit
    {code}
    See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17781_01/admin.112/e18585/toc.htm for more information.
    h3. a) Unity desktop configurations
    The Oracle XE menu under the previous Gnome Classic desktop shows several useful scripts to backup the database, start and stop the database, etc. Under the Unity based desktop this menu is not available. You can either switch to the Gnome Classic desktop as outlined in chapter 2, or perform the following steps to modify and copy the scripts as outlined below. The start and stop database scripts will also be modified to perform a progress feedback.
    Login as user root:
    {code}
    sudo su -
    {code}
    Convert desktop files:
    {code}
    cd /usr/share/applications
    sed -i 's/Categories.*/Categories=Database;Office;Development;/g' oraclexe*
    sed -i 's/MultipleArgs/X-MultipleArgs/g' oraclexe*
    sed -i 's/MimeType.*/MimeType=application\/x-database/g' oraclexe*
    sed -i 's/.png//g' oraclexe*
    sed -i 's/Terminal=false/Terminal=true/g' oraclexe-startdb.desktop
    sed -i 's/Terminal=false/Terminal=true/g' oraclexe-stopdb.desktop
    {code}
    Exit root:
    {code}
    exit
    {code}
    Login as user Oracle:
    {code}
    su - oracle
    {code}
    Modify database start and stop scripts:
    {code}
    cd /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/config/scripts
    cp startdb.sh start.sh_orig
    cp stopdb.sh stopdb.sh_orig
    sed -i 's/>.*//g' startdb.sh
    sed -i 's/>.*//g' stopdb.sh
    {code}
    You will need SYSDBA privileges and set Oracle environment variables in order to use your regular user account.
    Login to your regular user account:
    {code}
    su - dude
    {code}
    Enter the folowing command:
    {code}
    sudo usermod -a -G dba dude
    {code}
    Then update your profile to automatically set the necessary Oracle environment variables:
    {code}
    echo "" >>./.profile
    echo '. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh' >>./.profile
    {code}
    Update your Desktop folder to contain useful Oracle XE scripts:
    {code}
    cp /usr/share/applications/oraclexe* ~/Desktop
    chmod 750 ~/Desktop/oraclexe*
    {code}
    To verify success re-login and try "sqlplus":
    {code}
    su - oracle
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    {code}
    h2. 10) Tips and Troubleshooting
    h3. 10. a) Port 1521 appears to be in use by another application
    Error: Port 1521 appears to be in use by another application. Specify a different port.This error happens after a previously unsuccessful configuration attempt using /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure script. The script was able to start the Listener process, but most likely failed to continue  to clone the database, e.g. ORA-00845. The following should correct the problem:
    Determine the oracle listener process that is already running:
    {code}
    $ ps -ef | grep oracle
    {code}
    Your output should be similar to:
    {code}
    oracle   19789     1  0 19:46 ?        00:00:00 /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/tnslsnr
    {code}
    Then kill the process, using the appropriate process id, for instance:
    {code}
    $ sudo kill -9 19789
    {code}
    h3. 10.b) cannot touch `/var/lock/subsys/listener': No such file or directory
    Starting Oracle Net Listener...touch: cannot touch `/var/lock/subsys/listener': No such file or directoryThis error occurs when you run /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure, but failed the preinstallation step to create the /var//lock/subsys directory as outlined in chapter 8.
    h3. 10.c) ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET
    ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system See chapter 7 to enable /dev/shm and verify free space available in /run/shm
    h3. 10.d) Apex ADMIN password
    According to the Oracle documentation, the password for the INTERNAL and ADMIN Oracle Application Express user accounts is initially the same as the SYS and SYSTEM administrative user accounts. Well, I tried several times without success. To reset the Apex Admin password:
    Login as user oracle:
    {code}
    su - oracle
    {code}
    Login as SYSDBA and type the following:
    {code}
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    {code}
    At the SQL prompt, type the following to be prompted to change the password:
    {code}
    SQL> @?/apex/apxxepwd.sql
    exit
    {code}
    When done, open your browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
    Workspace: Internal
    Username: ADMIN
    Password: password you set with apxxepwd.sql
    I will prompt you to reset the password:
    old password: password you set with apxxepwd.sql
    new password: final_password
    You can also login as the Apex Admin using http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/apex_admin
    h3. 10.e) SYS and SYSTEM password
    Use the following commands to reset the SYS and SYSTEM passwords if necessary:
    Login as the Oracle user:
    {code}
    su - oracle
    {code}
    Login as SYSDBA and type the following at the SQL prompt:
    {code}
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL> alter user sys identified by "password" account unlock;
    SQL> alter user system identified by "password" account unlock;
    SQL> exit
    {code}
    h3. 10.f) Uninstall Oracle 11g XE
    The following will completely uninstall and remove Oracle 11g XE:
    Open a terminal seesion and login as user root:
    {code}
    sudo su -
    {code}
    Enter the following:
    {code}
    /etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
    dpkg --purge oracle-xe
    rm -r /u01/app
    rm /etc/default/oracle-xe
    update-rc.d -f oracle-xe remove
    update-rc.d -f oracle-mount remove
    update-rc.d -f oracle-shm remove
    {code}
    h3. 10.g) Reconfigure Oracle 11g XE
    Type the following commands in a terminal window:
    {code}
    sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
    sudo rm /etc/default/oracle-xe
    sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
    {code}
    h3. 10.h) Gnome Classic desktop
    Ubuntu 11 moved from the Gnome Classic desktop to Unity and removed the "Ubuntu Classic" login option. Unity was designed to make more efficient use of space given a limited screen size and touch screens. If you prefer to use the Gnome Classic desktop, enter the following into a terminal window:
    {code}
    sudo apt-get install gnome-panel
    {code}
    To log into the Gnome Classic desktop, select the "Gearwheel" at the login screen and select "Gnome Classic".
    h3. 10.i) Unix vi cursor keys
    The instructions in this tutorial do not require the use of any text editor. However, if you would like use the backspace and cursor keys in the "vi-editor", the following needs to be installed:
    {code}
    sudo apt-get install vim
    {code}
    h3. 10.j) Backup Database
    In order to perform an online database backup using the supplied "Backup Database" script, the database needs to run in Archive-Log mode. This can be setup using the following commands:
    Login as the Oracle user:
    {code}
    su - oracle
    {code}
    Login as SYSDBA and type the following:
    {code}
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL> shutdown immediate
    SQL> startup mount
    SQL> alter database archivelog;
    SQL> alter database open;
    SQL> exit
    {code}

    Excellent Blog. Thank You
    Small clarification on Step **6) Oracle Home Directory, ...a) Resize the Root Partition**
    Ubuntu 11.10 has Gparted available as a Ubuntu software download, DONT use that while trying the above step, instead download the ISO file from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable/ gparted-live-0.12.0-5.iso (124.6 MB)
    Burn that ISO file on a Blank DVD, reboot the Ubuntu , during startup select Boot from DVD Option if not already selected. this will take to Boot Menu Options of Gparted Live then select the first menu option, and this allows to do further action such as Re-sizing .
    and once you have chosen and executed step a) . do NOT run step b) also that is "Setup External Storage"
    I hope this minor clarification can avoid some confusion

    *1586-119 (U) The 32-bit file "/lib/crt0_64.o" is being linked in 64-bit mode, or vice versa.*
    We have only one library in $ORACLE_HOME which is lib..Lib32 is not present .
    Could you please help me in resolving this error ?
    The details , that I feel will be helpful ,is provided below :

    # The target 'build' puts together an executable $(EXE) from the .o files
    # in $(OBJS) and the libraries in $(PROLDLIBS). It is used to build the
    # c sample programs. The rules to make .o files from .c and .pc files are
    # later in this file.
    # ($(PROLDLIBS) includes the client shared library, and $(STATICPROLDLIBS) does
    # not.)
    # Here are some rules for converting .pc -> .c -> .o and for .typ -> .h.
    # If proc needs to find .h files, it should find the same .h files that the
    # c compiler finds. We use a macro named INCLUDE to hadle that. The general
    # format of the INCLUDE macro is
    # INCLUDE= $(I_SYM)dir1 $(I_SYM)dir2 ...
    # Normally, I_SYM=-I, for the c compiler. However, we have a special target,
    # pc1, which calls $(PROC) with various arguments, include $(INCLUDE). It
    # is used like this:
    # $(MAKE) -f $(MAKEFILE) <more args to make> I_SYM=include= pc1
    # This is used for some of $(SAMPLES) and for $(OBJECT_SAMPLE).

    Apparently you are trying to mix 32-bit code and 64-bit code. You must ensure that the 32-bit or 64-bit option is used consistently on every command, compiling and linking. The form of the option can depend on the version of the C compiler you are using, and whether you are on an x86 or sparc system. Consult the Pro*C and C compiler documentation.

  • Problem creating Network ACL for a ROLE in Oracle 11gR2

    According to Oracle Documentation when you create a new Network ACL you can add privileges to a user or role.  I need to create a new ACL for the UTL_SMTP package for a specific role, but when I granted it the users who have that role are still getting the "ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL)" error when they try to send an email.  If I grant the ACL privilege to the same users directly it works fine.  Is there any step I'm missing?  This is the test I have made on my Solaris 10 - Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.3) Standard Edition server:

    I'm aware that role privileges doesn't apply inside procedures, functions or packages by default, but this is an anonymous block so it should use the active roles for the user.  I also tried adding a "dbms_session.set_role('TESTACL_ROLE');" at the beggining of the anonymous PL/SQL block but I got the same access error.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give to me on this question, it would be very hard to grant the ACL to all the individual users as they are more than 1000, and we create more regularly.

    Thanks for your quick reply... I don't have a problem creating the basic ACL with the privileges granted for a user.  The problem appears when I try to create an ACL with privileges for a ROLE.  You can see here http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e25788/d_networkacl_adm.htm#BABIGEGG than the official Oracle documentation states that you can assign the ACL principal to be a user or role:
    Parameter
    Description
    acl
    Name of the ACL. Relative path will be relative to "/sys/acls".
    description
    Description attribute in the ACL
    principal
    Principal (database user or role) to whom the privilege is granted or denied. Case sensitive.
    My issue is that when I try to create the ACL for a role it doesn't work.
    Have you ever created an ACL for a role? if so please send me an example or let me know which step I might be missing.  Cheers.

    Hi,
    Please check Oracle support id : Troubleshooting ORA-3135 Connection Lost Contact (Doc ID 787354.1)

  • A way to undo Formatted Text & Graphics OCR from Acrobat 7?

    Over the course of a few months, my company received a large number of PDF files for a project for which the internal policy was that every file should be text searchable.  Unfortunately, we did not save the native files in any sort of convenient way, having at that time not realized that failing to do so was a very bad idea.  We ran OCR on every one of the files that we received, which total approximately 4,000.  At the time that we received the majority of these files, my company was still using Acrobat 7; we've since upgraded to version 8.
    Recently we discovered that there were discrepancies between our electronic copies and the hard copy printouts from which our electronic copies had been generated:  in the electronic copies, uppercase F had changed to P, S had changed to 8, etc.  We eventually worked out that it must have been that at some point a computer was mistakenly set to run OCR using the Formatted Text & Graphics setting, as opposed to either Searchable Image or Searchable Image (Exact).  This was absolutely not want we wanted, as for our purposes using a type of OCR that causes the original images to change essentially renders the files useless.  My questions, then, are the following:
    1)  As I asked in the title, is there any way of undoing Formatted Text & Graphics OCR that was performed in Acrobat 7?
    2)  Is there a way of identifying files that have had Formatted Tex & Graphics OCR performed on them (something stored in the metadata)?
    Rebuilding these files from scratch is going to require a gargantuan effort, so any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi,
    Bernd's been across the mountain and seen the bear; so, you can bank on what he posted.
    But, just because, I'll second his "no".
    Formatted Text and Graphics (Acrobat 7, 8) and ClearScan (Acrobat 9, X) effectively replace the image of textual characters.
    If a character is not recognized as 'something' a bit map is of the thing is left behind.
    Now, while Acrobat or other OCR engines (Abbey FineReader, AdLib, Adobe Capture, etc.) are really rather impressive no OCR engine has 100% accuracy 100% of the time. Other variables  come into play (scan lamp age/brightness, platen cleanliness, scanner mechanicals cleanliness, calibration of scanner, hard copy 'quality' (characters' darkness density, contrast between characters and background, presence of lack thereof of boxed in text, text in or adjacent to line arcs/circles, etc.).
    All of that is for semantic content that is "textual". Semantic content that is not textual (but, coincidently may contain text) provides little to no useful OCR output (e.g., graphs, drawings, etc.). Validate this by performing OCR on such a PDF then Export to a plain text file. Print this file out and compare that to the source paper or the scanned image.
    There is no metadata info that identifies the OCR mode used.
    Perhaps something buried in the bowls of PDF page description content; if so, not intrinsically easy to obtain.
    My suggestion (fwiw) - move forward with re-scan.
    A server product would help to move it along but a high speed scanner hooked to a local machine (with ample resources) and Acrobat Pro 8 or 9 get it done. With Acrobat 8 or 9 use Search Image (Exact).  In Preferences check the category Create PDF or TIFF to assure it is what you desire. Check Acrobat's scan presets to assure you have what you want vis-a-vis Compression and Filtering. Do avoid "Automatic".
    Be well...

  • Make Number stored as text - in excel using ABAP

    Hello all,
    How can I make a value to be stored as text in excels, without adding apostrophe in front of the value using ABAP.
    Im using ECC6.0 system. In erlier version 4.6C, values are displaying as numbers.
    We are calling methods in RSAQEXCE dynamically in our program to get the excel.

  • Installing Oracle 11gR2 on RHE5

    Hello all,
    First of, this is my first post and I am definetly a newbie when it comes to Oracle and Linux, so bear with me.
    I am trying to install the Oracle 11gR2 32-bits database on Red Hat Enterprise 5.5 64-bits. I tried to look up information on google about this and found I needed to install certain packages for this to be possible. So I went ahead and installed the following list of packages, doing the following procedure:
    mount /dev/cdrom /mnt; cd /mnt/Server
    rpm -ivh kernel-headers-2.6.18-194.el5.x86_64.rpm
    rpm -ivh glibc-headers-2.5-49.x86_64.rpm

    cd /; umount /mnt; eject
    I then proceeded to extract both linux_11gR2_database_1of2.zip and linux_11gR2_database_2of2.zip and did the pertinent cut/paste to the database folder. I went ahead and excuted the runInstaller.sh in the Terminal. I am logged in a regular user account, not root. As I ran the installer, I wanted to modify the installation destination to /oracle but it wouldnt let me. So I opened a new Terminal, logged in as root using su command, made my way to / and did mkdir /oracle. Then, I did cd oracle and had to create another folder for the installer to proceed, so I did mkdir /oracle/oraDirectory. The installer went fine until the pre reqs, but I ran the fix script the installer brings. I worked like charm and proceeded to start the installation.
    At that point, it gave me following message:

  • How can I export formatted text from a string indicator?

    Does someone know how I can export formatted text (i.e., parts of the text have different formatting, such as color, fontsize, etc.) from a string indicator? Using copy/paste does not work, as it only exports unformatted plain text.

    Hello Sparti,
        Thank you for your suggestions, they are all very useful, and I plan to use the HTML feature under Report Generation to export the formatted text from Labview. However, I am still not sure how I can extract the formatted text from a *string indicator* and transfer it to one of those VIs, so that it can be exported to other applications. Let me give some more specific info on what I am trying to achieve:  I am monitoring the communication between two pieces of equipment. A string indicator shows all the data flow, with different colors for data coming from different instruments. I managed to do that by using a property node and playing with the selection and font color properties. Now, if you just wire the output of the string indicator, the formatting is gone and all you get is just plain black text (for instance, try to programmatically transfer the formatted text from one string indicator to a different string indicator and you will see that the formatting is not preserved). Even if you try the "brute force" method of manually selecting and copying the text in the indicator and pasting it to Word, LV does not export the formatting. But, if you paste *within*  LV (for example, paste it to a string constant in your diagram), then it works. To extract the formatted string from the indicator, I also tried to use a property node, but without success. I am trying to avoid duplicating part of my code to generate the same color-coding scheme on a report. It would be way easier to be able to transfer the formatted text from the string indicator. This is particularly annoying, because the information is there, stored in the data structure associated with the string indicator. But how can I put my hands on it? Any ideas?

  • Memory leak in Oracle Text under Oracle 8.1.7!!!

    When I wanted to use USER_DATASOTRE preference to use my own formatting tag in Oracle Text, the memory leak occured in Oracle Text!
    Memory just freed when I close SQL*Plus program
    My formatting procedure is so easy
    PROCEDURE format_tag(r IN ROWID, tlob IN OUT NOCOPY CLOB) IS
    BEGIN
    SELECT '<C>' &#0124; &#0124; catalog_id &#0124; &#0124; '</C></T>' &#0124; &#0124; tag_id &#0124; &#0124; '</T><V>' &#0124; &#0124; tag_value &#0124; &#0124; '</V>' INTO buf
    FROM tbl_catalog WHERE ROWID=r;
    dbms_lob.trim(tlob, 0); -- set LOB's size to zero
    dbms_lob.write(tlob, length(buf), 1, buf);
    END;
    The typical rows are about 100,000 ( The actual records are tens of millions )
    How can I solve this problem?

    Thanks for your reply

    I changed my last version of procedure and using VARCHAR2 parameter type instead of CLOB, but memory leak persist during building index.
    so I used a simple trick by writing a package and counting the records to be indexed, after each 100,000 records I used DBMS_SESSION.FREE_UNUSED_USER_MEMORY procedure to free unused session's memory.
    the package is as follows:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pkg_catalog IS
    PROCEDURE format(r ROWID, buf IN OUT NOCOPY VARCHAR2);
    END pkg_catalog;
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY pkg_catalog IS
    recs PLS_INTEGER:= 0;
    PROCEDURE format(r ROWID, buf IN OUT NOCOPY VARCHAR2) IS
    BEGIN
    SELECT '<C>'&#0124; &#0124;catalog_id&#0124; &#0124;'</C><T>'&#0124; &#0124;tag_id&#0124; &#0124;subfield_id&#0124; &#0124;'</T><V>'&#0124; &#0124;val&#0124; &#0124;'</V>' INTO buf FROM &usr.tbl_catalog_info WHERE ROWID=r;
    recs:= recs + 1;
    IF recs>100000 THEN
    recs:= 0;
    dbms_session.free_unused_user_memory; -- clean-out memory garbage
    END IF;
    END format;
    END pkg_catalog;
    My problem solved, but it is very marvelous "Why Oracle does not free unused session's memory?"

  • How to create an asm instance manaually? oracle 11gr2.

    env: oracle 11gr2 os: hpux or aix single machine , not rac.
    question:how to create an asm instance manaually?? diskgroup,listener,db ,they can be resigistered to crs??
    can anyone give me document about it?

    Hi,
    This is a simple answer:
    Automatic Storage Management (ASM)
    ASM was a new storage option introduced with Oracle Database 10gR1 that provides the services of a filesystem, logical volume manager, and software RAID in a platform-independent manner. ASM can stripe and mirror your disks, allow disks to be added or removed while the database is under load, and automatically balance I/O to remove "hot spots." It also supports direct and asynchronous I/O and implements the Oracle Data Manager API (simplified I/O system call interface) introduced in Oracle9i.
    ASM is not a general-purpose filesystem and can be used only for Oracle data files, redo logs, and control files. Files in ASM can be created and named automatically by the database (by use of the Oracle Managed Files feature) or manually by the DBA. Because the files stored in ASM are not accessible to the operating system, the only way to perform backup and recovery operations on databases that use ASM files is through Recovery Manager (RMAN).
    ASM is implemented as a separate Oracle instance that must be up if other databases are to be able to access it. Memory requirements for ASM are light: only 64 MB for most systems.
    Installing ASM
    On Linux platforms, ASM can use raw devices or devices managed via the ASMLib interface. Oracle recommends ASMLib over raw devices for ease-of-use and performance reasons. ASMLib 2.0 is available for free download from OTN. This section walks through the process of configuring a simple ASM instance by using ASMLib 2.0 and building a database that uses ASM for disk storage.
    Determine Which Version of ASMLib You Need
    ASMLib 2.0 is delivered as a set of three Linux packages:
    * oracleasmlib-2.0 - the ASM libraries
    * oracleasm-support-2.0 - utilities needed to administer ASMLib
    * oracleasm - a kernel module for the ASM library
    Each Linux distribution has its own set of ASMLib 2.0 packages, and within each distribution, each kernel version has a corresponding oracleasm package. The following paragraphs describe how to determine which set of packages you need.
    First, determine which kernel you are using by logging in as root and running the following command:
    uname -rm
    Ex:
    # uname -rm
    2.6.9-22.ELsmp i686
    The example shows that this is a 2.6.9-22 kernel for an SMP (multiprocessor) box using Intel i686 CPUs.
    Use this information to find the correct ASMLib packages on OTN:
    1. Point your Web browser to http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/asmlib/index.html
    2. Select the link for your version of Linux.
    3. Download the oracleasmlib and oracleasm-support packages for your version of Linux
    4. Download the oracleasm package corresponding to your kernel. In the example above, the oracleasm-2.6.9-22.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm package was used.
    Next, install the packages by executing the following command as root:
    rpm -Uvh oracleasm-kernel_version-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm \
    oracleasmlib-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm \
    oracleasm-support-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm
    Ex:
    # rpm -Uvh \
    > oracleasm-2.6.9-22.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm \
    > oracleasmlib-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm \
    > oracleasm-support-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm

    Before using ASMLib, you must run a configuration script to prepare the driver. Run the following command as root, and answer the prompts as shown in the example below.
    # /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
    Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver.
    This will configure the on-boot properties of the Oracle ASM library
    driver. The following questions will determine whether the driver is
    loaded on boot and what permissions it will have. The current values
    will be shown in brackets ('[]'). Hitting <ENTER> without typing an
    answer will keep that current value. Ctrl-C will abort.
    Default user to own the driver interface []: oracle
    Default group to own the driver interface []: dba
    Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [n]: y
    Fix permissions of Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y
    Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: [  OK  ]
    Creating /dev/oracleasm mount point: [  OK  ]
    Loading module "oracleasm": [  OK  ]
    Mounting ASMlib driver filesystem: [  OK  ]
    Scanning system for ASM disks: [  OK  ]
    Next you tell the ASM driver which disks you want it to use. Oracle recommends that each disk contain a single partition for the entire disk. See Partitioning the Disks at the beginning of this section for an example of creating disk partitions.
    You mark disks for use by ASMLib by running the following command as root:
    /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk DISK_NAME device_name
    Tip: Enter the DISK_NAME in UPPERCASE letters.
    Ex:
    # /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdb1
    Marking disk "/dev/sdb1" as an ASM disk: [  OK  ]
    # /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdc1
    Marking disk "/dev/sdc1" as an ASM disk: [  OK  ]
    # /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdd1
    Marking disk "/dev/sdd1" as an ASM disk: [  OK  ]
    Verify that ASMLib has marked the disks:
    # /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
    VOL1
    VOL2
    VOL3
    Create the ASM Instance
    ASM runs as a separate Oracle instance which can be created and configured using the Oracle Universal Installer. Now that ASMLib is installed and the disks are marked for use, you can create an ASM instance.
    Log in as oracle and start runInstaller:
    $ ./runInstaller
