Tora and Oracle

Hi,
I just installed FC3, Oracle 10g client and Tora 1316 but when I try to connect using tnsnames.ora I have the ORA-12545 error while sqlplus connects successfully.
Actually Tora tries to connect to a local instance with BEQ protocol instead of TCP remote Database connection.
(enabled sqlnet loggin and saw it in the trc file)
Any idea?
It was working fine on FC2 ...
Thanks

Location of tnsnames.ora for Tora and Oracle XE Client

I Googled far and wide and did not see a CLEAR answer to my question, hopefully this will help others.
I have installed the debian oracle-xe-client and tora packages (tora rebuilt for oracle) on Ubuntu 8.04.
However, I did not know where I was supposed to place the tnsnames.ora file for my databases. I have tried running Tora with the environment variable of TNS_ADMIN set to the file where I placed my tnsnames.ora, however that did not work as Tora did not 'see' the file or its entries apparently. I know this works because I copied it from a Debian Etch box with the client and server installed.
I had even added a 'network/admin' directory structure to the //usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/client (ORACLE_HOME) with the tnsnames.ora but also with no success.
Now for the solution:
Simply remember that TNS_ADMIN points to the directory where the tnsnames.ora is and it will work. :)
I do have a suggestion that both Tora and sqlplus use a config file to set these directory(s) in addition to the overriding ability of the environment variable, TNS_ADMIN as is usually the case with UNIX apps (and thus expected).
Thank you,
Jason

The ODBC Instant Client Readme that is included in the install also indicates that %ORACLE_HOME%/network/admin/tnsnames.ora is the correct default location. What about OCI?

Select query differences between oracle 9 and oracle 8.

Hi,
I have a problem using the select query between oracle 7 and oracle 9i I don't have the same result :
ex:
With oracle7
SQL> select 'champ1','champ2' from DUAL;
'CHAMP 'CHAMP
champ1 champ2
With Oracle 9
SQL> select 'champ1','champ2' from DUAL;
'CHAMP1' 'CHAMP2'
champ1 champ2
So Can someone tell me how to solve this problem ? Is there a parameter in oracle 9 to set?
Thanx.

Whenever you are posting anything over internet forums like this - you should be very careful about not just posting the details which requires to solve the problem - also should be sensible about your question.
This is not at all desired when you are posting such question. It may be because - you may not well aware of the fact.
My suggestion is -> First Go through the basics Of SQL in general.
Then go for any specific product like Oracle/ SQL Server/ Sybase etc.
And, finally learn the advanced commands of that DB.
You asked it - may be you thought the difference in output in terms of lines. But, that is not your actual output. That is the graphical display part only.
Anyway,
You can get the quite familier output by first type the following command ->
set lin 310Regards.

Oracle Single Sign on and Oracle Internet Directory

Hello Gurus,
What is the relationship between Oracle Single Sign on and Oracle Internet Directory.
To my understanding, OID is required to install SSO.
If OID already exist, can we just install SSO and go on integrating it to existing OID.
Great Thanks,

Hi Tim,
I've been working on this and could reproduce the issue with anonymous binds. A fix will be ready in 4.2.1.
So what I really need is the password used for login to pass to the is_member call.The P101_PASSWORD item does not save state. However, you can access the value during submit processing of the login page, for example in the post authentication function of your authentication scheme. People sometimes put code in there to query the user's groups (e.g. with apex_ldap.member_of2) and save them in an application. This item value can then be used in the authorization schemes.

Christian

Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms?
I have generated a form, which is based on a view. The view uses the mdsys.sdo_relate operator. Somehow I am unable to get the form to perform (to get one record it takes over 20 minutes). While useing sql-navigator to process the same statement it seems no problem. The query that also uses the view, is then processed in 10 seconds.
I also noticed that when text-functions like ' lower' of ' upper' are used to query the view, the query is processed within 15 seconds. If I don't use ' lower' or ' upper' it takes a long time (> 20 minutes) to process the query. Is it possible that this causes the bad performance of the form?
On metalink I have found that forms and spatial do not cooperate because of the pl/sql version that
forms6 uses. There is no solution presented, does anyone know of a work around?
My configuration is:
Oracle 8.1.7 on WIN2K @ PIII-800Mhz 256 Mb memory.
Formsbuilder 6
If requested I can post the queries that I have made.
With regards,

Limitation on SQL executing select statement from ADO and Oracle 8.1.7.1 OleDB Driver

Hi,
we are running a query with a big dunamic select statement from VB code using ADO command object. When Execute method is called system hangs and control won't return back to the application. it seems to be that there is some type limitation on Query string length. Please tell us if there is any?
we are running Oracle 8.1.7 Server on Windows 200 Server and connecting from a W2K professional, ADO 2.6 and Oracle OLEDB 8.1.7.1 OLEDB Driver.
Sample code:
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Set cmd = New Command
With cmd
.CommandText = ' some text with more than 2500 characters
.CommandType = adCmdText
Set rs = .Execute
End With
when i debug using VB6 and when .Execute line is called system hangs or return a message method <<somemethod> of <<some class name>> failed error.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Anil

A stored procedure would only slow you down here if it was poorly written. I suspect you want to use the translate function. I'm cutting & pasting examples from the documentation-- a search at tahiti.oracle.com will give you all the info you'll need.
Examples
The following statement translates a license number. All letters 'ABC...Z' are translated to 'X' and all digits '012 . . . 9' are translated to '9':
SELECT TRANSLATE('2KRW229',
'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
'9999999999XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX') "License"
FROM DUAL;
License
9XXX999
The following statement returns a license number with the characters removed and the digits remaining:
SELECT TRANSLATE('2KRW229',
'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', '0123456789')
"Translate example"
FROM DUAL;
Translate example
2229
Also, LIKE '%<string>%' is going to be rather expensive simply because it has to compare the entire string and because it forces full table scans, rather than using indexes. You could speed this sort of query up by using interMedia Text (Oracle Text now in 9i). If you can eliminate one of the '%' options, you could also improve things.
My guess is that your stored procedure is inefficient and that's causing the problem-- 5k rows per table should be pretty trivial.
If you post your query over on the PL/SQL forum, there are better performance tuners than I that might have more hints for you. To get really good advice, though, you'lllikely have to get at least the execution plan for this statement and may need to do some profiling to identify the problem areas.

New to XML and Oracle

Just trying to clarify some issues as I try and learn about XML, and specifically how it integrates into the DB.
1 - Is there a way with Oracle tools for me to get an XSD of an existing 9i relational schema? We are not currently using the XML DB, but our middleware developers would like to have an up to date XSD to use for their internal mapping.
2 - Is there any way that I can keep that XSD up-to-date automatically, so I get a new one whenever the schema gets updated?
3 - If I wanted to investigate storing XML docs within the DB in native XML format, I need to have an XML DB, correct? Is this DB construct maintained seperatelly from my "normal" relational schema? or are they kept in sync by Oracle?
I know these may all be real basic questions, but as I said, I'm new to XML and Oracle. I am reading as much as I can, but there are a lot of docs out there.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi
1. On my opinion such a tool doesn't exists. Some parts can be implemented elsewhere, but not as described by you... e.g. with XSU if you specify the parameter "withschema" the XSD of the executed statement is generated. Another example is to use DBMS_METADATA to dump the data dictionary in XML (but not XSD, of course you could write your own XSLT to do this transformation...).
2. -
3. If you use XSD-based tables the XSD and the relational model are stored separately in the data dictionary. Therefore if you change the XSD you have to drop/create the XSD-based table... no schema evolution yet.

Issues with TOR and Firefox

Hello,
I am attempting to use a combination of Vidalia and the Torbutton Firefox extension to access the Tor network. However, every time I do, Firefox refuses to load any pages, stating that it is connected to a proxy that is refusing connections. My operating system is Ubuntu 10.04. Any help with this problem would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Joe
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I use Tor/Vidalia/Torbutton/Polipio regularly. When I get this message, it is because I am trying to browse normally with the Torbutton enabled (green, Tor is "on") -
Or, I am trying to browse using Tor, it's turned on but Vidalia is not running in the background. If you installed Vidalia so that it does not automatically start when you start Windows, you must manually launch it (I use Start>Program Files>Vidalia Bundle>Vidalia). Give it a few seconds to get connected and then Firefox should work with the TorButton enabled.
In case you do not know, Vidalia launches Tor, and will report if there are any problems with it.
The documentation, tips, FAQs, help, advice and general availability of any practical knowledge on how to use these features is extremely poor, for reasons I am currently being made aware of. Because of this, I am considering starting a Discussion Forum focused primarily on helping people make use of this anonymous browsing technology.
If anyone is interested in assisting with this effort, or has helpful advice, etc... feel free to e-mail me at quickdxtjohnatgmaildxtcom

SRM 4.0 Installation Master and Oracle Installation

Dear Members, I am trying to install SRM 4.0 in sandbox using the SRM 4.0 Installation Master DVD. The question I have is does this installation take care of Oracle Installation also or should I install Oracle 9.2 first and then use the SRM Installation Master DVD to install the SRM. I am using SRM on Linux and Oracle. Appreciate expert advice. Thanks in advance.

Problem with Java 5 and Oracle 10g JDBC driver

Hi All,
Currently we upgrade our web application to Java 5 and Oracle 10.2 JDBC driver. And we encountered a bug, when the user entered the information through UI and data didn't store into database (Oracle 9i). The problem is that this bug is not happend so often maybe once a day and this did not happen before we upgraded to Java 5 and Oracle 10.2 JDBC driver. Does anyone encounter the same problem ? Is this Java 5 problem or Oracle JDBC driver problem ?
Thanks,

sounds like a database problem...
Are you using a driver version that's supported for your database engine?
What else did you change? We once ran into a major bug in our application that had for 5 years been masked by performance problems in our hardware and infrastructure.
Once those were resolved the bug showed itself and caused tens of thousands of records to be erroneously inserted into our database every day.
It's certainly NOT a problem with your JVM (if it's a decent one, like the Sun implementation).
So it's either your database, your driver, your network (dropping packets???), or your application.
The upgrade may just have exposed something that was already there.

Problem with installing Oracle UI and Oracle SP (ouiosp220160.jar)

Hello,
I have downloaded the installation file for Oracle Universal Installer and Oracle Software Packager which is in the form of a jar file:
ouiosp220160.jar.
WhenI try to extract it, the JVM says that the jar file is a corrupt one.
So, I downloaded it again and still it is a corrupted one.
What to do now? Is it in the corrupt form on the site or I am missing something?
Any other mirror site?
Please help.
-Sameer

Yes use a different ORACLE_HOME's for the Database,
The Application Server (Needs 2 Oracle Homes if you are installing it on one server) and the developer suite - I would expect to see this more on a client PC than a server but if you are trying everything out on say a windows box then that also needs its own HOME.
Have fun.

Reports Requirements using R12 and Oracle 10g Reports

Hi All,
Looking forward to some valuable inputs to propose a technical solution in R12 using 10g Reports Developer.
Requirements are :
1. Report output should be in Excel Format. ( Is this possible without XML Publisher using 10g Reports only )
2. Report Parameters to have multi selection criteria. ( Is this possible in 10g Reports and Oracle Apps, Report Manager responsibility ?)
Regards,
Anand

>
1. Report output should be in Excel Format. ( Is this possible without XML Publisher using 10g Reports only )

Yes, Reports can create output in Excel - but XML Publisher offers better and easier options.

2. Report Parameters to have multi selection criteria. ...

Pl explain what you mean by multi selection criteria.

Crystal Report and Oracle SDO_GEOMETRY

Hi,
 
 
I'm using Crystal Reports for Eclipse version 2.0.4.r825 with Eclipse 3.5 and Oracle 11g as database. I configured the database connection using ojdbc14.jar. Some of the tables i want to use in the report contains columns using the SDO_GEOMETRY data type and if i try to drag this table in the data tab of the report i get the following "Unexpected ValueType" error:

I tried the same with the Crystal Reports 2008 trial version and i'm having the same problem.
 
 
I don't wanna use the geometry column in my report but because of this error i can't use the whole table. Is there a way to avoid this error and still use the other columns of the table. Or maybe there is another way to connect to an Oracle database which can handle this special data type.
 
 
Thanks in advance,
 
 
Jens Keller

Hi Jens,
Views would work also as you noted.
No, if DB manufacturers change/update their Servers/clients they need to follow ANSII 92 standards. If they don't return the correct data type then CR will not "hack" our drivers to fix their issues. We did that for years and was a code nightmare, when they got around to fixing the problem it broke CR again. We decided to follow the standards, it may be our issue sometimes but in this case unique data types typically are not supported by CR. If you want support and it's not a client issue then add your request to the Enhancement Request2 post.
So yes in your case it would make it easier but for others they'll be asking why CR doesn't show all fields. Same reason.... not a CR issue.
Thanks agian
