Trouble converting MS SQL 7 ntext to 10g CLOBs

Hola -
Using OMWB 10.1.0.2, and I'm having trouble converting over SQL 7 ntext fields to CLOBS; I either wind up with a single character in the CLOB field, the first character in the SQL field, or all text is brought over with spaces in between (represented by some odd character I haven't fully checked out yet, but it shows up onscreen as a box).
I'm in the early stages of checking this out, but any greneral ideas or directions for testing/solving this difficulty would be greatly appreciated, many thanks.

Hi James,
S a m p l e T e x t
After futher investigation, I determined
that these are not spaces but a null character
ascii code "0".This data is in Unicode, so you see a null char after each character in text editor.
It is normal.
Seems you data were transferred well.
If the original data is not in Unicode, change the database character set to ASCII.
Or please make sure that SQL Server NTEXT was converted to CLOB, not NCLOB. NCLOB is always Unicode.
Best regards, Dmitry Tolpeko

Trouble creating PL/SQL connection from JDEV to 10g XE

Hi,
I am wanting to run PL/SQL from JDev against the hr table in the 10g XE database.
 
In doing so I first need to create my first connection from inside JDev 10.1.3.2.0 to an Oracle Lite (10g) database. Both are installed on my personal PC.
 
So far I have been unable to create the connection; here is where I am so far in my attempts: 
Enter the Create Database Connection Wizard 
1) Entered a connection name and choose "Oracle Lite" as the connection type 
2) Entered the User Name and Password for the System user of the 10g XE database 
3) Entered Type 4 Driver; Host Name: localhost, JDBC Port 100, SID XE 
4) I created my own library called "Oracle_Lite" with a class path that points to an olite40.jar file. I did not set the Source path or the Doc path when creating the library. Is this the correct library? 
5) When clicking "Test Connection" it comes back pretty quickly with "Internal Error:Invalid Connect String" 
After talking with a work mate I changed the JDBC Port to 1521 and now when I test the connection it starts testing and doesn't stop. The testing indicator bar continues going back and forth indefinitely. Can I assume I am at least now using the correct port? 
Any advice or general tips on creating the connection to allow PL/SQL against the 10g XE database from JDEV would be great.

Oracle 10g XE is not Oracle Lite. Just leave the connection type as the default - Oracle(JDBC), later use the thin JDBC driver, it should work. Continue to use port 1521 and SID as XE.

Converting PL/SQL with OE S Fields for 11i

We recently moved to 11i and I am having trouble converting a PL/SQL report. This is part of an exception report (below) that we have and I am not exactly sure how to convert it in 11i to do what it did in 11.0.3. Particularily I am not sure about how to convert the "S" fields, if someone could provide some guidance that would be great. I have marked the lines I am not sure of with DON'T KNOW. Thanks, Joe.

You can use DML error logging approach or FORALL SAVE EXCEPTIONS.
Since you didn't mention the version I assume you are using 11g.
Below is the sample code for DML error logging mechanism

CONVERT Redo Logs across platforms - 10g or even 11?

Hi all,
I've seen that it's possible to convert databases across platforms on
10g, but have not seen a reference to the Redo Logs. Can these
be converted across platforms? Interested in AIX to Linux - there are
obvious problems of endianess - anybody any experience?
TIA.
Paul...

To be able to share archived log files, the two database must be identical on a block-for-block basis. Logical Standby use SQL apply where physical organization and structure of the database can be different from primary.
In both cases, the Oracle need to be on same OS platform.
In 11g that requirement is not lifted.
What's New in Oracle Data Guard 11g?

Problem executing a sql query in 10g environment

Hi,
I am having problem executing the following sql query in 10g environment. It works fine in 8i environment.
I tried to_number(to_char) and it did not work.
**A.APPL_ACTION_DT >= TO_CHAR("&v_strBeginStatusDate&", 'DD-MON-YYYY') AND A.APPL_ACTION_DT <= TO_CHAR("&v_strEndStatusDate&", 'DD-MON-YYYY')))**
Any suggestions..
--Pavan

I would be surprised if that worked in 8i as posted, although I no longer have 8i to test. You do not tell us the error message you are getting, but there are several things wrong with what you posted.
First, the substitution variable requires only the & at the beginning, you have one on each end of your string, the one at the end will remain in the string that is passed to the database.
Second, you cannot TO_CHAR a string with a date format as you are trying to do. The TO_CHAR function is overloaded and has two basic forms TO_CHAR(date, format_model) and TO_CHAR(number, format_model). Note that neither takes a string. It would appear that at least current versions of Oracle choose the second signature unless specifically passed a date datatype.
SQL> select to_char('&h', 'dd-mon-yyyy') from dual;
Enter value for h: 12
old 1: select to_char('&h', 'dd-mon-yyyy') from dual
new 1: select to_char('12', 'dd-mon-yyyy') from dual
select to_char('12', 'dd-mon-yyyy') from dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01481: invalid number format modelalthough I suspect that the error you are getting with your posted code is more likely to be ORA-01722: invalid number.
Depending on the data type of appl_action_date, you are probably lokoing for TO_DATE instead of TO_CHAR.

Learning PL/SQL in Oracle 10G XE

Successfully installed Oracle 10G XE on my desktop. I'm a newbie Oracle user who wants to learn PL/SQL through Oracle 10G XE.
Is this possible? Hope you can give me tips and advice on how I would start with this?
Thanks!

Certainly possible. I would suggest you crack open the PL/SQL Users Guide. DO you have previous programming experience? If so, looks at the examples.

I'm having troubles converting my raw files from Nikon D5200 (NEF) to DNG. I tried using Lightroom 4, but it didn't identify the folder containing the files. So i downloaded the latest DNG converter but that too didn't identify the files kept in the folder location. So I downloaded DNG converter v7.3 for D5200. It identifies the folder and files; but it is giving me parsing error on trying to convert files. I'm running Windows Vista Home Edition SP1. Kindly advise. Thank you.

I probably missed this detail in what you’ve posted, but do you see the thumbnails of the three cameras’ raw files in Finder if you don’t convert to DNG?
What has happened in the past is that the Apple raw interpreter doesn’t read thumbnails of DNGs it doesn’t like, where at least one thing it didn’t used to like was embedded lens corrections for mirrorless cameras. Are the Olympus and Panasonic mirrorless—meaning there is no optical viewfinder and everything is seen on an LCD screen or perhaps an electronic view finder? If so the reason these are different is that the camera is doing the lens distortion corrections automatically and this information is stored in the raw files and in the DNGs but Apple doesn’t know how to use these embedded lens corrections or doesn’t know how to read the newer DNG spec that does allow for this information to be embedded in the DNG, at least.
Apple could just extract the embedded jpg preview and ignore the other parts of the file it doesn’t understand, but it apparently doesn’t do this.
What I’m not sure about is if the Apple raw interpreter still has this problem or if you’re on an older system without the latest updates for camera raw decoding by Apple.

Hi,
You can create a custom folder on using the administrator using the code,
The only change is that you need the take off the conditions over the parameters and create those in the worksheet and not in the SQL.
so you need to create the custom folder using:
SELECT Po.Profile_Option_Name "NAME"
*,Po.User_Profile_Option_Name*
*,Decode(To_Char(Pov.Level_Id)*
*,'10001'*
*,'SITE'*
*,'10002'*
*,'APP'*
*,'10003'*
*,'RESP'*
*,'10005'*
*,'SERVER'*
*,'10006'*
*,'ORG'*
*,'10004'*
*,'USER'*
*,'???') "LEV"*
*,Decode(To_Char(Pov.Level_Id)*
*,'10001'*
*,'10002'*
*,App.Application_Short_Name*
*,'10003'*
*,Rsp.Responsibility_Key*
*,'10005'*
*,Svr.Node_Name*
*,'10006'*
*,Org.NAME*
*,'10004'*
*,Usr.User_Name*

Converting MS SQL Server Query to Oracle Query

Hi There,
I've a strange problem. My project uses both MS SQL Server and Oracle server at run time. I've lot of queries which are written in MS SQL Style. Now, iam planning to write a helper class whic converts MS SQL Query to Oracle Query. Please Help me if any one has that kind of Helper with you.
Thanks And Regards,
Sasi Kanth

That is why persistence applications like Hibernate or
CMP get used for apps that will use more than one DB,
but it takes upfront planning.
If you have a set of automated unit tests that work
with SQL Server, they will be a big help in getting
your Oracle code up and running.Indeed - JUnit and Ant would be a big help here.
It sounds like you have SQL in your JSPs, that will
work against you as well if so. If you are using a
DAO pattern, this will be much easier, as you can
re-implement each DAO for Oracle.If you'd layered this app properly, you might just implement an OracleDAOFactory and be done with it. Interfaces and a DAO layer would go a long way.
This is why layering is such a good idea. It isolates changes in a smaller subset of classes.
But your problem sounds pretty big. It'd be daunting even if it were well designed.

Some minor issues we are facing in converting the 6i application to 10g ,

Regarding 10g froms i need support in resolving following issues:-
1. Direct print to default printer
In some of our applications user do not want to see the print preview and prefer direct print in 6i we were doing this by defining Desitination in report paramenters
2. Open each form in new window
We open each new form using OPEN_FORM() builtin, but all forms open in same MDI window, how using open form we can open the forms in new window
3. Maintaining source code in windows and linux
Initaially our developers test the forms under windows 10g AS environment but when the same form in uploaded on Linux machine they need to make some changes like " replacing all \ with /, converting all paths to lower case etc
how we can write the same code for linux and windows
These are some minor issues we are facing in converting the 6i application to 10g environment ...

1) We don't do direct printing. We print everything to PDF files in a user's network mapped drive. They print or preview as required.
2) We overcame this problem by using Java WebStart
[http://groundside.com/blog/JanCarlin.php?title=forms_and_java_web_start&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1]
It frees Forms from being browser based and looks more like a 'real' application.
3) We use FormsAPI Master [Link to ORCL-Toolbox|http://www.orcl-toolbox.com/] to automatically convert from Windows to Unix. Our script converts uppercase to lowercase for icons, menus, library attachments, etc. We only do this once - unless new libraries have been attached in the wrong case. For things like '\' to '/' , Windows is quite happy to accept '/' as a delimiter. "cd C:\temp" is the same as "cd c:/temp". However, there are obvious differences between Windows and Unix. If there is any interaction between the Form and the operating system, then we do all our testing in the Unix environment - leaving Windows as a "does the screen layout look OK" environment.
