Support question for Oracle Express

Can anyone tell me if Oracle provides security patches for Express? I read an artical from '03 that said they do not. It said Oracle only provides new builds with the patches included.
Thanks
-Don

Support for express is not being delivered via Metalink, but via a forum Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)
I suggest you re-ask your question there.

  • Interview questions for oracle dba

    Hi I am trying to find teh interview questions for oracle dba .
    What will be your answer to the following questions. Can somebody shed some light...
    . What is the day to day duties of oracle dba?
    ·     Did you use online or off-line backups?
    ·     What version of Oracle were you running?

    Thx
    KK

    . What is the day to day duties of oracle dba?
    I have got a checklist, designed for my daily, weekly, fortnightly and monthly tasks. For example, in the daily checklist tasks, I check for the alert log file, competion and correction of my exports and operating system backups. DB space situation, Antivirus status, standby database status, space on disks, any rogue queries etc.
    · Did you use online or off-line backups?
    Both.
    · What version of Oracle were you running?
    8i(not any more), 9i, 10g
    · Haw many databases and what sizes?
    8 databases, ranging from 1 TB to 10 GB. I have segregated them into OLTP production, testing, cm, and development and a Datawarehouse.
    · If you have to advise a backup strategy for a new application, how would you approach it and what questions will you ask?
    How much they could afford to lose data or they want zero data loss and also I will get their requirements about down time and up time of database.
    · If a customer calls you about a hanging database session, what will you do to resolve it?
    First I will identify it, then see to it what exactly it is doing, capture that situation and then either try to release the locks(if its a blocking or blocked session), or kill the session, if its hanging on a runaway query.
    · Compare Oracle to any other database that you know. Why would you prefer to work on one and not on the other?
    Oracle passes the ACID rule with distinction as compared to the other databases. Moreover, the multiversion read consistency, recovery, flexibility and challenges of Oracle are matchless.

  • Personal support license for Oracle.

    I am a developer for a company that spends over one million dollars a year on Oracle licenses. I have ordered the free DVD's for Oracle Linux and I am planning to install it on My personal computer at home. I am then going to install 32bit Oracle 11 for Linux so that I can evaluate the new database. I wanted to purchase a Linux support license for my one home computer so that I would have access to web support and Linux patches. This computer is owned by me, not the company. When I attempted to go into oracle store, I was unable to purchase the $99.99 support license until I registered. Unfortunately, you must supply a company name and address to register in oracle store to purchase the Linux support license. I do not want to put the support contract under my company, it is MY computer. Since I could not find any way to register as an individual, I called the toll free number to ask the sales department. I was explaining my problem and as soon as I said a personal license for one installation of Oracle Linux, the sales person hung up on me. They did not say anything, just hung up. I am upset and do not feel that this behavior is acceptable if oracle is going to be selling Linux support.
    Now the question. Does anyone know how to register for Linux support as an individual?

    Beilstwh,
    Many customers have purchased a Network support for personal use. If you purchase via the online store, you can use your own name as the company name.

  • Can you provide link from supported OS for oracle databse

    Example
    I want to know whether Oracle 11g (11.1.0.7). support RHEL 5 ?
    I need the link where i can find tat

    It will not help . Why ?
    You asked "+I want to know whether Oracle 11g (11.1.0.7). support RHEL 5+"
    From the doc I linked earlier, you can read :
    "+The following are the operating system requirements for Oracle Database 11g Release 1:+
    +...+
    +Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5+"
    That is the answer to your question. Now if you changed your question regarding the matrix certification, the best way is to check the follwoing, help yourself :
    1. the Oracle Support Certification tool (http://support.oracle.com) - not free
    2. check the corresponding documentation (http://docs.oracle.com and look for the installation docs for the db version you want and OS) - free

  • Important Question for Oracle Corporation

    Hello,
    I am a J2EE architect in a reputable multinational software house in Pakistan. Till last month, we were using Oracle 9iAS (9.0.4) with Borland JBuilder 9 (using oracle plugin found in Jbuilder Cd). We decided to migrate
    to JBuilder X so we downloaded its trial version to evaluate it. But to our surprise it does not include the plugin for Oracle 9iAS. We tried to use the plugin for JBuilder 9 but i did not work.
    Therefor i humbly request to Oracle Corporation to provide us the plugin of OC4J(9.0.4) for JBuilder X.
    Anybody can help me too if they got the one.
    My Email address is : [email protected]
    please reply me on the forum first and then email me the plugin.
    Yours sincerely,
    Shoaib Akhatr
    Senior Java Architect

    I just post my forms questions here. I'm using 6.0 seems to be fine.

  • What is the support status for Oracle Documentation delivered as part of a product

    Is documentation considered to be part of the deliverables you pay support for,  and if so can SR's be raised against it?
    Thanks
    Chris

    Oracle's strategic direction is based around Java/SOA/ADF - this is the technology on which Oracle's future business applications, Fusion, are built. However, if Forms is still meeting your needs then there is no reason to move off of it.
    We've hopefully made this clear in our tools statement of direction (on otn.oracle.com/products/forms).
    If you have further questions after reading the statement of direction please let me know.
    Regards

  • 2 questions for Oracle portal

    i work with portal 10.1.4
    2 questions:
    Is possible to display in my portal the online users or how many are visited every day the portal ?
    i try but i dont cant update my portal to latest version 10.1.4.2.
    10.1.4.2 buider have differences from 10.1.4? New features?
    thanks,

    A quick and dirty way may be to count your logins from wwctx_sso_session$ :
    select count(1) from WWCTX_SSO_SESSION$ where SESSION_START_TIME > (sysdate-24) and USER_NAME != 'PUBLIC' ;
    This will give you the number of users who have logged on during a 24 hour interval. It doesn't filter out multiple user logins.
    Regarding 10.1.4.2 :
    It is a patch set on top of Portal 10.1.4. By definition, patch sets should not include any functionality changes. Oracle has added generation of HTML 4.01 Strict for your Portal however. Keep in mind however that you are not having all the fixes which have been incorporated in the patch set. Especially the web cache - PPE communication may be a bit buggy in some cases.

  • OUAF Application Framework install question - for  Oracle Utilities SDK 4.0

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help me, I am really confused.
    I have a working install of MDM 2.1 and everything is working.
    Now I need to install the OUAF SDK to start coding in JAVA but since I a mstill new to all this I dont really understand where the Application server is. I though that I installed that already. But it is not found in C:\ouaf\demo.
    I have the framework installed, I do not understand why the SDK is telling me wrong folder.
    Oracle Utilities Application Framework V4.1.0 Multiplatform is the one I have installed.
    Here is the install doc:
    http://www.box.net/shared/k86v1a4gtc793ho1zc20
    Here is part of the install doc:
    •     OUAF Application Server in 32-bit and development (exploded) form. The installation will prompt for the folder name where this is installed. Note the first 2 digits of the versions (e.g. “4.0”) of both the SDK and application server must match.
    I found the patch number to the SDK here: (but where do I find OUAF app server?)

    Actually it did mess up. App server not starting anymore. The folder structure did not change also.

    - Have a look at metalink note 3951017.8 for a possible fix
    - Check that your interconnect is properly configured
    - Try running the query with PARALLEL hint. This would mean doing disk I/O instead of buffer & interconnect I/O.

  • Simple questions for Oracle XML Team - please respond

    1) Which class/methods should be used to obtain the content
    model (mixed-content or element-content) associated with each
    element declaration in a DTD? In other words, how do I know if a
    particular element can have child elements and/or data in a
    valid XML document, the frequency each child element can appear
    under a particular element, and whether a sequence list or a
    choice list was used to declare the element?
    2) Do you have any bug reported so far for this part of Oracle's
    parser made available in the last released?
    Thanks,

    Look at oracle.xml.parser.v2.ElementDecl class and then
    getContentType and getContentElements methods.

  • Oracle Linux support subscription. for Oracle employees

    I am using RHEL 5 but could not find wireshark trace and I beleive that you need to have Oracle Linux support subscription to access yum repositories. How an Oracle employee can update the software?

    Here is a previous link that could be interesting to you:
    Re: Employee Access to ULN or Public Yum?
    You can also install wireshark and dependend packages using oracle public yum by following the instructions on
