Sys_connect_by_path over db link causes ora-29900

I have a query that uses sys_connect_by_path. It works fine when run from the database where the table resides. When I try to run the same query from another database over a db link, I get the following error:
ora-29900: operator binding does not exist
ora-06553: pls-306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'PATH'
Any ideas? Workarounds?

Are the two databases running the same Oracle version?

Mouse over HTML link causes single frame to display at top of page Netscape only

Having a wierd problem. When you run the mouse over HTML
links on the page a single frame of the flash movie apears at the
top center of the page. It only happens in netscape in firefox
mode. IE, Opera, and Firefox do not have the problem.
Problem site
Thanks in Advance,
Vorsch

The problem goes away if i modify my .css file by removing
the
border: 1px solid #999999;
line from the "a:hover" style.
I ran my css file thru the validator at w3c and its fine. The
Page also validates as xhtml transitional.
and just a note the same file version is on my public server
and my testing server.
Has anyone ever seen this before?? I have several sites with
a:hover effects and flass media and have never run across this
before.

While using firefox, when mouse over link causing monitor to crash

Windows 7; Dell studio xps
On mouse over a link/photo link and/or click on a link and my monitor goes into standby mode. Monitor still on (as is my computer) but cannot reestablish visual on monitor. Have used Explorer in the past and never had this problem. This error happens almost every time when I perform an image search with Google then mouse over a resulting image.

Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].

You can not read/write LONG/LONG RAW columns through DB Link.
You should consider having CLOB/BLOB instead.

Hi,
We are on Oracle 11.2.0.2 on Solaris 10. I have two databases on this version of Oracle. From one db I have execute a stored procedure via db link to another database. The store procedure has dynamic sqls (execute immediate) and it uses commit statement as part of the code. Is it alllowed to execute this procedure over db link? I am not aware on the implications on stored proc execution over db link and will be thankful for help.
Thanks,if no error is thrown, why are you looking for problems where none exist?

Cursor arrow does not become hand-with-finger over some links.

Recently, on some web pages, the arrow cursor doesn't become a pointing finger when placed over a link on a web page. Usually these are links at the top of the screen. If I try to right-click to open the link, the "open" is gray (inactive). For instance, on the current Firefox page, I cannot click on the Sign Out, Inbox, Other Applications, etc. I cannot click on the Search Firefox Help display.
However, I can click on the Features, Mobile, Add-ons, etc. at the bottom of the screen.

Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

I am not seeing the URL preview you get when you hover over a link. Why?

Until today, when I hovered my cursor over a link, a preview of the link's URL would appear on the lower left of my screen, above the Start button (I use Windows Vista). Currently when I hover over a link, no preview appears, so I don't know the web address of where I'm going when I click on the link. I thought that maybe this was due to updating to Firefox 19.0, but my friends who have also updated say that they can still see the URL preview. Did I somehow turn off the URL preview by accident? If so, how can I turn it back on? If not, why is it gone?

Do you see toolbars like the Add-ons bar (Ctrl+/) or the Find bar (Ctrl+F)?

Interactive report performance problem over database link - Oracle Gateway

Hello all;
This is regarding a thread Interactive report performance problem over database link that was posted by Samo.
The issue that I am facing is when I use Oracle function like (apex_item.check_box) the query slow down by 45 seconds.
query like this: (due to sensitivity issue, I can not disclose real table name)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox(1,b.col3)
, a.col1
, a.col2
FROM table_one a
, table_two b
WHERE a.col3 = 12345
AND a.col4 = 100
AND b.col5 = a.col5
table_one and table_two are remote tables (non-oracle) which are connected using Oracle Gateway.
Now if I run above queries without apex_item.checkbox function the query return or response is less than a second but if I have apex_item.checkbox then the query run more than 30 seconds. I have resolved the issues by creating a collection but it’s not a good practice.
I would like to get ideas from people how to resolve or speed-up the query?
Any idea how to use sub-factoring for the above scenario? Or others method (creating view or materialized view are not an option).
Thank you.
Shaun S.

Hi Shaun
Okay, I have a million questions (could you tell me if both tables are from the same remote source, it looks like they're possibly not?), but let's just try some things first.
By now you should understand the idea of what I termed 'sub-factoring' in a previous post. This is to do with using the WITH blah AS (SELECT... syntax. Now in most circumstances this 'materialises' the results of the inner select statement. This means that we 'get' the results then do something with them afterwards. It's a handy trick when dealing with remote sites as sometimes you want the remote database to do the work. The reason that I ask you to use the MATERIALIZE hint for testing is just to force this, in 99.99% of cases this can be removed later. Using the WITH statement is also handled differently to inline view like SELECT * FROM (SELECT... but the same result can be mimicked with a NO_MERGE hint.
Looking at your case I would be interested to see what the explain plan and results would be for something like the following two statements (sorry - you're going have to check them, it's late!)
WITH a AS
(SELECT /*+ MATERIALIZE */ *
FROM table_one),
b AS
(SELECT /*+ MATERIALIZE */ *
FROM table_two),
sourceqry AS
(SELECT b.col3 x
       , a.col1 y
       , a.col2 z
FROM table_one a
    , table_two b
WHERE a.col3 = 12345
AND   a.col4 = 100
AND   b.col5 = a.col5)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox(1,x), y , z
FROM sourceqry
WITH a AS
(SELECT /*+ MATERIALIZE */ *
FROM table_one),
b AS
(SELECT /*+ MATERIALIZE */ *
FROM table_two)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox(1,x), y , z
FROM table_one a
    , table_two b
WHERE a.col3 = 12345
AND   a.col4 = 100
AND   b.col5 = a.col5If the remote tables are at the same site, then you should have the same results. If they aren't you should get the same results but different to the original query.
We aren't being told the real cardinality of the inners select here so the explain plan is distorted (this is normal for queries on remote and especially non-oracle sites). This hinders tuning normally but I don't think this is your problem at all. How many distinct values do you normally get of the column aliased 'x' and how many rows are normally returned in total? Also how are you testing response times, in APEX, SQL Developer, Toad SQLplus etc?
Sorry for all the questions but it helps to answer the question, if I can.
Cheers

Report over database link error

Good morning all.
I have a database link LINKA from USERA on LOCALSERVER to USERB on REMOTESERVER.
(create database link LINKA connect to USERB identified by mypassword using validtns)
In USERC on REMOTESERVER I have a TABLEX, with grant all on TABLEX to USERB on REMOTESERVER.
In USERB on REMOTESERVER I have a view TABLEXV, select * from USERC.TABLEX
From USERA on LOCALSERVER I can select * from TABLEXV@LINKA. In fact I can insert/update/delete tablexv from USERA.
I also have a view TABLEXV on USERA, select * from TABLEXV@LINKA. I can also select/insert/update/delete from USERA.TABLEXV.
So far so good - all working as expected.
Then, my APEX app on LOCALSERVER, interactive report, parsing schema USERA, querying TABLEXV, I get the following:
when "Exclude Link Column", I get the error "The requested URL /pls/apex/f was not found on server.
when "Link to Single Row View", report displays correctly.
when "Link to Custom Target", I get the error "The requested URL /pls/apex/f was not found on server.
When I run the select * from TABLEXV as a regular report (i.e. not interactive), I also get the error.
So the only time I get the report displayed correctly is using IR and "Link to Single Row View".
However, clicking on the link (for Single Row View) I get "The requested URL /pls/apex/wwv_flow.show was not found on this server.".
To summarize:
- accessing table via view over database link
- works outside of apex without issue
- inside only works when Link to Single Row View set
- But clicking on link fails
I could live with just having the Link to Singe Row View option if I could disable displaying of the icon so that the user cant click on it.
APEX 3.2.00.27
EE Database - 10.2.0.3 (yes I know out of support)
Remote EE Database - 10.2.0.5
Real object names replaced to protect the innocent!
Anyone got any clues?
I have used remote tables many times in my APEX applications and never had this issue.
Thanks,

Mouse-over a link

when i mouse-over a link, i can see where that link brings me in the lower left corner. but when i enable the search (shift+f), the links are in the lower RIGHT corner. why? its really embarassing for example on facebook, because the chat windows can be found at the lower right corner, right where are these "links". can i change it some way? thanks in advance!

You can use this extension to change that behavior:
* Status-4-Evar: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/

In WebHelp, when I mouse over a link, the font size changes.

Either after I generate to WebHelp or View in RoboHelp, when I mouse over a hyperlink text, the font changes from large to small text. My step is a 11pt font, my body text is 10pt. It appears the 11 pt. font switches to 10pt font when I mouse over it. Any way to fix this?
Also noticed that when I have a note at 9 pt, and mouse over a link, the text changes to 10pt.
So now it appears in most of my topics with links within a step or note. In a body, the text appears fine (or stays the same) when you mouse over a link.

Not believing that either.
You should be able to edit your CSS in a text editor. If you are not sure what to do, set up a simple project using your CSS. Any text will do and create a link.
See the Contact page on my site and follow the instructions there.

I want to know how to get the web addresses to go away that appear in the bottom left corner of the browser every time my mouse goes over a link

Any time that my mouse goes over a link on a web page a little box in the bottom left corner of the browser pops up showing the web address for that link and it is really annoying, especially when i am on facebook because there are so many links on the home page i cant move my mouse anywhere without that box popping up and blocking part of my conversations. I was wondering if there was any way to turn this off. I've checked through the options and to my knowledge there is no way to turn it off. Just wondered if anyone else has had this problem or knew if there was a way to get that box to go away.

Another option would be to use the following extension to push those messages into the status bar. It could be a convenient way to have your messages visible when you want them, but with less distraction.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
If you try it, let us know what you think.

How do I turn on and turn off the pop-up that displays the true URL when I hover over the link?

I would like to know how to set Firefox so it displays the true URL of a link when I hover my mouse over that link.

It's been many moons since I've used a Fireberd, since I'm no longer with the phone company, but if memory serves, that can be turned of directly with a fireberd command. You might check the manual for that. If so, then all you need is a simple "send GPIB" command from Labview
