Unsure about Global Database Name

I need your advice on the Global database name when I install the G10 database. The purpose of the database is used for learning and will be installed on a PC running Window XP. The PC is stand along and where the Oracle database is installed. The installation documentation refer the global database name with 2 parts, the format is:
datbase_name.database_domain_name
The example given is "sale.yourcompany.com" (with the "sale" as database name and "yourcompany.com" is the domain name). Since I don't have a domain name and I wondon can I ignore the domain name or use my PC name as the domain name. This database installation is not going to be refer by any other computer and just use by the applications within the PC. Please help, thanks.

  • Can someone explain the following: SID, Instance, Global Database Name?

    Im new to Oracle8i and Im getting confused about certain Oracle terms.
    1) What is the difference between an SID and a Database Instance?
    2) Oracle says a Global Database Name includes: db_name.domain_name. What is the difference between the db_name and the name of the Database Instance?

  • Database Service Name or Global Database Name with Oracle 10G, when Oracle

    I have an old installation of Oracle 9i (SID=ORCL) and now have installed Oracle 10G (SID=ORC2). I can get connection to Oracle 10G if i define it as an Oracle 8 compatible identification (ie I access to a SID, and don´t provide a Service Name.
    Now I want to install Oracle HTML DB, and succeeded to install the SQL-script that came with the download, but when I install Apache and HTML DB from the Oracle Companion CD I am asked to give the Database Service Name (in the Help it is explained as the Global Database Name).
    When i give the Net Service Name I get error messages (incomprehensible).
    When I look in Net Manager, the Net Service Name does not have a Service Name, but only points to a SID (ie ORC2).
    Where can I find the Database Service Name (or Global Database Name), OR define it if it is not defined??
    Thanks for your help,

    create a net service for oracle10g and provide the name of this service during HTML DB installation it is required for installation.

  • Want to modify the Global Database Name in Oracle 10g R2

    Hi All,
    I have a global database name like GS77.UK.ORA.COM , I want it to be just GS77.What are the possible workarounds for modifying this.
    Thanks & Regards,

    If your problem is really just the global name, yes.
    You can check with
    Select * from global_name;
    Check the documentation first to ensure you checked all implications first

  • Global Database Name

    Hi
    what is the difference between Global database name followed by the domain name of the system and the Global database that itsn't?
    and can I choose one name for ech of Global database name ,sid, and service_name
    to make connection with oracle developer easy after installation?
    Thanks in advance.

    There are differences between global_name, sid and service_name. They may all have the same value, which causes confusion.
    Whether you have the global name followed by the domain name or not it's the same, as long as it is a name that uniquely identifies your database in a network environment. This is a requirement when using replication. You could leave it with or without domain at creation time, you can change it any time, but it is a good practice to have it qualified.
    The SID is the name of an Oracle Instance, i.e. the allocated shared memory plus the background processes, and it is unique within the scope of the OS where your database is running. You can create a connection string that uses the Instance name to connect to the database, but it is considered obsolete, and it was the way to connect to an Oracle database in releases 8.0 and previous.
    Service name is a mean to group applications that get access to the database. It is related with an Oracle Instance. In a single instance environment there is not too much sense from the failover or load balance perspective, it can be interpreted as an alias for the instance and you can still group sessions by service, but in a multiple instance environment, named RAC, it can be used to migrate the service from one instance to another for the purposes of load balancing and failover, as well as for application affinity and resource allocation by means of resource manager.

  • Global Database Name for OCS Database with domainname that include a dash

    Hi guys,
    The domain name for the network that I'm installing OCS 10g have a dash in the domainname. When installing the OCS database, it stated that the global database name cannot have a dash. So I change the dash in domain name of the server with an underscore.
    After restart the installation, and putting the global database name with a underscore, the installation is sucessfull. My question is if I change back the server domain name back to include the dash, will this affect the running of the database ? and after the installation can I changed the global database name to include the dash ?
    Is there any to to ensure a database installation will be sucessfull with a dash in the domain name for the global database name ?
    Thanks for any info.

    Edited by: SeenuJanu on Jun 13, 2009 4:43 AMFor that you don't even need to touch the database. The name you use in your connect string is nothing more than an alias that is resolved (in your tnsnames.ora file) to a specific service name on a specific host. Without touching anything else, you could change your tnsnames entry from something like
    ORASATYA =
    (DESCRIPTION =
       (ADDRESS_LIST =
         (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))

       (SERVICE_NAME = ORA11)

  • Confusing with the Global Database Name and Instance Name

    Dear fellow DBA's and Experts,
    Good Day.
    We presently have an existing database registered (on V2 Exadata) with global database name as BIDEV.domainname.com. It has 4 instances viz., BIDEV1 and BIDEV2 which have the same service name as the instance name.
    Last week, on our new X4-2 Exadata, we tried to create a fresh database. While doing so, we entered the details as below in the installer:
    Global Database Name: BIDEV
    SID Prefix: BIDEV
    Service Name: BIDEV.
    Then upon the successful installation of the database, when we query
    1. (SELECT * FROM GLOBAL_NAME), it shows BIDEV as the global database name.
    2.
    SQL> sho parameter service
    NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
    service_names                        string      BIDEV1
    3. Sho parameter name gives the below details:
    SQL> sho parameter name;
    NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
    cell_offloadgroup_name               string
    db_file_name_convert                 string
    db_name                              string      BIDEV
    db_unique_name                       string      BIDEV
    global_names                         boolean     FALSE
    instance_name                        string      BIDEV_1
    lock_name_space                      string
    log_file_name_convert                string
    processor_group_name                 string
    service_names                        string      BIDEV1
    Curious to know why it created an instance name as BIDEV_1 instead as BIDEV1.
    Had tried another attempt on our test environment with SID prefix as BIDEV1, then the instance was created with the name as BIDEV1_1.
    Also, would like to know what happen if we give the Global Database Name as BIDEV.domainname.com for installing the same BIDEV database on a different server while the 1st server is still functional.
    Appreciate if someone could throw some light on the above confusion. Any reference material or source to the clarify the doubt.
    Warm Regards,
    Vikram.

    Hi Vikram,
    Your clustered database is not full RAC, it's RAC ONE node database. In RAC ONE node database, instance names are created in that format only (i.e.e dbname_1), I don't know if there is any way we can change it to dbname1. OR if you really want to change the instance name to dbname1 format, then you can convert RAC one node database to Full RAC, then remove instance and add another instance, I hope it would be added in dbname1 format. I have not tested it, test it on your test system first.
    You can find the database type in the output you shared,
    Type: RACOneNode

  • What is the Global Database Name for?

    Hi All,
    I installed 10g on Linux and it seems to work ok. But I used the same string "abc" for the SID and the global database name (GDN). The recommendation for the GDN was sid.domain_name.com but I didn't know the domain_name at the time.
    I don't know why the GDN exists or what it is used for. I am wondering how this lame GDN will affect the database and if there is an easy way to change it. I don't expect that we will be using the db outside of our little network, no internet users. Will users on other machines be able to connect to my db?
    Thanks

  • Global Database Names issue

    Oracle 10gR2, Windows, 64bit.
    This code produces the infamous ORA-02069 Global Names must be set to TRUE error:
    insert into job_bag@dblink1 (job_bag_id, user_id, name, created_date, status)
    values
    (job_bag_id_seq.nextval@dblink2, 80487, 'Some Name or Other', sysdate, 1)But the link names don't match the database names, so even setting global_names is a non-starter (and I'm not going to be able to change the link names any time soon).
    Fortunately, I can re-write this like so:
    declare
      myseq number;
    begin
    select job_bag_id_seq.nextval@dblink1 into myseq from dual;
    insert into job_bag@dblink2 (job_bag_id, user_id, name, created_date, status)
    values (myseq, 80487, 'Some Name or Other', sysdate, 1);
    end;...and it all works beautifully. So fixes and workarounds I don't actually need on this occasion, just for a change. But, more out of curiosity than a cry for help: why does the first example fail and the second not?
    I can speculate that one operation and two links is not allowed, whereas the second code splits the operation into two steps and passes. I can also speculate it's got something to do with the use of a sequence as one part of the 'simultaneous' operation.
    But I'm curious if anyone really knows why the first example fails.
    Searching Google, I see plenty of requests for help on ORA-02069, and one or two workarounds of the 'second example' variety shown here, but no actual explanations, so here's hoping that might change this time...

    I'm afraid I don't know what you're asking, really. All I can say by way of reply is that the fact I get a "global names" error indicates that it's seeing the database link, treating it as a database link and producing vaguely appropriate errors accordingly. It's not throwing a data type exception, for example, as it would if I was trying to store some text in a numeric column.
    Again, I can only really repeat that example 2 has the same basic code inserting the same basic data as example 1 tries to do. One works, the other doesn't... I don't think that makes it a datatype issue (but I could well be completely wrong on that, of course).
    I did wonder whether the first example might work better if it was of the form
    ...values ((select sequence@dblink2 from dual),'other data','here')...
    In other words, whether it's just a syntactical issue. But I didn't test that. I'll give it a whirl...

  • Global Database Name & Password

    I am new at Oracle. I am at the OEM screen, they are asking for user name which is already filled in but I can't don't know the password. How can I get it?

    Did you create the database with DBCA. If so, during the DB creation, it should prompt you for password to SYS and SYSTEM. Use them. If you create using your own script, the default would be change_on_install and manager. But you have to connect as sysdba when using SYS and normal when connecting using SYSTEM.

  • DB Link , ORA - 02083: illegal database name character '-'

    Hi,
    I work for an integration company and right now we are putting together an application that is moving a small subset of data from one db to another. I have created a db link to move the data. However, when I try to compile the procedure, that moves the data, into the database, the compile fails and I am given the following error:
    ORA-02083: database name has illegal character ‘-‘.
    The instances I’m developing/testing to are on the same machine, which is a Solaris X86 machine and the Oracle version is 8.1.7.
    Now 2 things. If I do a simple query like the one below using SQL*PLUS, the link works fine.
    Select sysdate
    From dual@<dblink_name>;
    The other thing is the domain name does in fact have a ‘-‘ in it, but I have removed the domain name from everyplace I can thing of from Oracle; i.e. tnsnames, init.ora file, etc.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks,

    and set this parameter with its correct value.
    DB_DOMAIN
    Parameter type
    String
    Syntax
    DB_DOMAIN = domain_name
    Default value
    There is no default value.
    Parameter class
    Static
    Range of values
    Any legal string of name components, separated by periods and up to 128 characters long (including the periods). This value cannot be NULL.
    Real Application Clusters
    You must set this parameter for every instance, and multiple instances must have the same value.
    In a distributed database system, DB_DOMAIN specifies the logical location of the database within the network structure. You should set this parameter if this database is or ever will be part of a distributed system. The value consists of the extension components of a global database name, consisting of valid identifiers, separated by periods. Oracle Corporation recommends that you specify DB_DOMAIN as a unique string for all databases in a domain.
    This parameter allows one department to create a database without worrying that it might have the same name as a database created by another department. If one sales department's DB_DOMAIN is JAPAN.ACME.COM, then their SALES database (SALES.JAPAN.ACME.COM) is uniquely distinguished from another database with DB_NAME = SALES but with DB_DOMAIN = US.ACME.COM.
    If you omit the domains from the name of a database link, Oracle expands the name by qualifying the database with the domain of your local database as it currently exists in the data dictionary, and then stores the link name in the data dictionary. The characters valid in a database domain name are: alphanumeric characters, underscore (_), and number sign (#).
