User Connections getting increase in Oracle 10g database

Hi All,
we have a java application setup in Websphere 6.0 server with Oracle 10g as a back end database.
Our application server is load balanced by two seperate server.
We found that there are more number of inactive connections getting established to database from application server.
Those connections keep on increasing automatically though we closed all the session created through application.
Is there any specific reason behind this. Currently we are killing those sessions manually.
Kindly help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Aruna

The main reason for this is products like Websphere are stateless, and establish a connection for every statement, execute the statement and close the connection.
Refrain from setting up connection pooling, either in Websphere or at the database site, and you will keep seeing this.
As such it is not a database problem. It is a problem of developers who don't know connection pooling.

User on Mac, Server with Oracle 10g Database on Windows

What can we do to help a user with a Mac access the database??
And, as a second question, would that user be able to later install/use Developer Suite tools?

You need to install 10g client on his MAC
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10204macsoft.html
I am not very updated about the Developer suite but based on this link

There is no Dev suite available for MAC; only JDeveloper is there.

Oracle 10g - Database does not respond to the application users

Hi all,
I am using ORACLE 10g database with 75 users connections 50 local and 20 remote users using ADSL and dial up modem. Operating system on server is
Windows 2003.
All of a sudden users making the entry get disconnected getting the error as
ORA-12516: TNS:listener could not find available handler with matching protocol stack
Other case users when using the appliaction get their PC hanged and connection
to oracle fails again. they cannot login to the application that time, the error is
ORA-04031: unable to allocate %s bytes of shared memory ("%s","%s","%s","%s")
Twice a day the users trying to login cannot access the database server.
Front end application is in VB using exe file. When the users cannot logon
to the database. I manually stop the ORACLE services(including DB console) and
then stop the listener.
This practice is going on since last two months.
Server Scenario
After Installing Oracle Standard Edition 10g.
System tablespace utilization is 98.5% which is 465 MB out of total 470 MB.
There is only one Rollback Segment named as SYSTEM.
when we install 9i 4 rollback segments as RO1, RO2, RO3, RO4 are created
by default.
Do I need to add the datafile to SYSTEM table space as its current usage is 99.15% and its auto extend is ticked on using auto extent as 10 MB. I tried adding another datafile during weekend downtime. when I resumed on saturday morning I found it did not add any datafile which I had put on thursday eveninig as system02.dbf.
Do I need to add a new datafile to the SYSTEM tablespace ?
Do I need to create new rollback segments apart from SYSTEM rollback segment ?
My current schema size 15360Mb with its usage as 9.32% (1432.25 Mb).
Please reply !!!

What is Connection in Oracle 10g Database?

Please let me know what is connection term in Oracle 10g Database in detail?
Thanks,

Network Connections
Oracle Net Services is Oracle’s mechanism for interfacing with the communication
protocols used by the networks that facilitate distributed processing and distributed
databases.
Connections and Sessions
Connection and session are closely related to user process but are very different in
meaning.
A connection is a communication pathway between a user process and an Oracle
instance. A communication pathway is established using available interprocess
communication mechanisms (on a computer that runs both the user process and
Oracle) or network software (when different computers run the database
application and Oracle, and communicate through a network).

Connection to Oracle 10g database failing

Not sure if I should post this here or on another newsgroup, but I am having a problem trying to connect, using WebLogic Server 9.2, to an Oracle 10g database (10.2.0.2), that has been upgraded from Oracle 9i.
I can connect to the same database using WebLogic 7.0.2, and I can also connect using WebLogic Server 9.2 to an Oracle 9i database.
I keep getting the 'Authentication denied: Boot identity is not valid' error, but I know that the username/password I am using in the boot.properties file is valid, because I have connected to the same database using WebLogic Server 7.0.2.
I suspect that the error could be with the drivers I am using, but I have checked and I have the latest oracle jar file in the WL_HOME/server/lib directory.
I did previously have a version of WebLogic 7.0.2 on the machine but this was deleted.
On the database in question the listener logs show that a connection was established, but that's it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We are getting ¿ stored into our Oracle 10g database (Microsoft fault)

We are getting ¿ stored into our Oracle 10g database that is using WE8ISO8859P1 character set.
Problem is caused by the following:
Microsoft released software (in particularly MS Word) before considering any ANSI or ISO standard (although they claimed so).
At that time of pioneering graphical interface - they were the standard. Since then things changed. Microsoft initially targeted US marked, however very soon they wanted to expanded to Europe. For that they needed to get standardized character set instead of one initially being in use. Microsoft re-mapped character set in newer applications using Windows-1252 character set which is compatible with ISO-8851-1 (we are using in our Java Web applications). That cleared obstacles to forward on European market, where extended characters are necessary (like in French, Dutch, German languages...)
What happened with the initial character codes before Microsoft agreed with ISO to standardize characters? Well - Nothing.
So what are the consequences of that?
If we are using Microsoft Word document in conjunction with one of the oldest character set (universe) the ice-age character mapping is still there. So when we "cut and paste" the content to another application, characters sets are not mapped anymore. Especially French language "is sensitive to this" The Microsoft character set in Word decimally coded 146 ( ' ) is very often used in French.
Therefore if the text is generated in MS Word using old character mapping (universe) which we do, and using method of "cutting and paste" we are mismatching character set interpreted by other, newer applications.
Initially in the MS words (apostrophe) ' had code 191; then later after implementing Windows 1252 character set being moved to code 146 in accordance to ISO. Well ISO threat character coded 191 as ¿. So if you are using MS Word universe character set, ' looks like ' but in newer applications or ISO compatible applications it looks like ¿.
Can anyone provide me with periodically cleanup routines that replace garbled characters entered by Microsoft applications into Oracle database ?
Thanks
Brendon

Connecting to the Oracle 10g Database through Java code

I have a Oracle 10g database to be connected to.
Through sql plus, I can connect to it using the following command

how do I connect to this db through my Java code?
I tried

You need to use the getConnection syntax that requires a Properties object.

Connect Oracle 10g client to the Oracle 10g database behind a firewall

I need to connect an Oracle 10g client to the Oracle 10g database (windows server 2003 box) behind a firewall. I ran into this problem: Port redirection. Port redirection requires the Oracle client to connect to the database using a different port (usually a randomly selected TCP port) than the default or originally configured one. If there is no firewall between the server and the client, port redirection will not affect the actual connection. However, if port redirection does occur with the server behind a firewall, the client will be likely to suffer from a connectivity failure. The reason is simple: the newly assigned port based on port redirection is often blocked by the firewall. Such failures are not uncommon on Windows platforms.
I don't know how to stablished an unique TCP port.
I Enabled USE_SHARED_SOCKET on the Oracle database server, windows registry. Acording to what I read,that will force the server machine to share its port 1521 and thus all clients will stay on that port when connecting to the database. Noticeably, port redirection will not occur with USE_SHARED_SOCKET enabled, but that's true in oracle 8 or oracle 9. In oracle 10g this solution doesn't work.
I will apreciate any help about this. Please!
Thanks in advanced.

Three solutions in order of preference
1 Use Connection Manager on the server (only installed using a Custom Install). This will tunnel all traffic through a single port. It will also allow you to configure allowable nodes
2 Set up shared server to use a fixed port. Disadvantage: shared server has overhead and the number of connections is limited
3 Use shared_sockets. Disadvantage: when you stop the listener everyone is disconnected.

I did this right after I restarted my computer.
When I use the Enterprise Manager at:
http://localhost:5500/em/
I get for ORCL:

Status Pending Since: Unavailable
Seems that I can never get the database started properly?! When I press the Startup/Shutdown button I get:

This is the correct current database status, although it doesnot match the current status in the sitemap page
What does this mean? Do you think this may contain the clue to the answer to this problem?
When I restart the Database I get the same status: unavailable.
I need your help to resolve this problem. The alternative is to revert back to Oracle 9i DB Server. Thank you in advance.

Oracle 10g Database conflicts with HTMLDB

Hai all,
I have encountered a strange conflict when I am trying to work out with Oracle 10g database and the famous HTML DB.
It is like this:
I have a 10g DB installed and an ASP application that works on this 10g instance via "Microsoft ODBC driver for oracle" perfectly.
Now I have downloaded and installed the 10g Companion CD and installed the HTML DB 1.5 along with the mandatory Apache web server. Good!! I could scrawl through the database using the HTML DB, creating applications, forms, items and etc fancy things without any issues.
The problem that I found was:
The ASP based application that used to work initially now is erroring out saying that "TNS could not resolve service name".
I thought that the Listener might be damaged or the ASP site was damaged or the Microsoft ODBC driver files were damaged and several other vauge guessings.
I have tested the issue in several ways (reinstalled oracle, the DB, the ASP Applicaton, re-configurin listener in a variety of ways) but every time installing BLINDLY the companion CD too. Nothing seem to work.
Then I recollected that the same issue I have encountered in the past with the installation of Oracle 8i and Developer 2000, where the TNS listener configured by the former damages the one configured by the later and vice-versa.
Basing on this past reminiscence, I finally stopped installing Companion CD over the Oracle installation and carried out the DB installation and the ASP based app. And everything worked fine.
CAN anybody tell me what is going wrong with these two oracle products(Oralce 10g DB and the HTML DB+Apache)?
WHY always the installation of a CLIENT SW (Developer, HTML DB etc) damages the connection with the database via ODBC drivers?
Many Thanks in advance.
Ravi

Dera Mr. Tyler,
Thanks for your reply...I have implemented the solution that you have given for the TNS Listener conflict and everything works fine...
Here I have one more thing thats not working as I thought. do kindly help me out.
My requirement is to show the list of available storage drives (say C:, d:, e: etc on windows) available on the database server. Let me eloborate my problem well....
i have a Java App that executes a specific SQL script to create a tablespace, a user and the required db objects that my applicaiton needs.
if the Java App runs on the same machine where the oracle instance is running, the Java app pops up a list of available drives on the machine, creates a directory for the tablespace datafiles on the drive selected from the above list box, then runs the script which creates the tablespace and the rest of the things.
But if i run the Java app from another machine on the network, then my BLIND java app is popping up the drives of the local machine but NOT those from the oracle server machine and creates the folder on the local machine but not on the Oracle server and obviously the rest of the phases (tablespace creation itself) are failing as the required folder is not found on the oracle server machine.
the work arounds that i am thinking are:
a) use java ->
get the IP of the oracle server machine ->
use some java api such as java.net, java.io etc ->
create the required folder on the server machine instead of the local machihe
ISSUE: Java network programming is too tough for me(excuse me for this..i am not too good!!)
b) use some oracle sql or pl/sql api s to do the same
ISSUE: not found one!!!!
c) create a java stored procedure/function to get the list of drives of the oracle server and return as a string variable. then call this proc from the Java app once connected to the database....
ISSUE: i have created the SO-CALLEd java func. no compilation or loading errors. but there is no o/p either. but the same code when i run as a java class is showing the desired o/p. here is the code piece...can you please help me out!!!
-------Java Stored Function------
import java.io.*;
public class HDDLister
     public static String listDrives()
          String rootsList = "Available Roots: ";
          try
               File[]roots = File.listRoots();
               for (int i=0;i<roots.length;i++)
                    rootsList += roots.toString();
                    rootsList += "#";
          catch(Exception ex)
               rootsList = ex.toString();
          return rootsList;
-------Command to publish the Funciton-------
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION HDDLISTER
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'HDDLister.listDrives() return java.lang.String';
and finally the point of the problem is, once we show the drives available on the server machine to the user and the user selects a drive, how to create a folder on the server machine???
Thousands of thanks in advance
Ravi

Is it possible to install Oracle 10g database on a linux Os ?

Hello all,
I recently installed Fedora 14, and oracle 10g free edition, on my modest laptop.
Problem is , I can't upload any scripts, because as i recently learnt from my school teacher, Oracle only works smoothly with Internet explorer browser (i.e.).
I tried using programs like winetricks to download a linux version of i.e. but in this case Oracle doesn't even open its homepage.
-In a nutshell, does anyone know a possible way to work with oracle 10g , (or any alternative), that's fully functional on linux (fedora 14) ? Download, Install steps,etc.
All i need to do is upload simple SQL scripts, and practice my " select from...." commands.
-Is oracle linux a option ? and what is it?
Thank you already for any replies, I'm really getting tired of googling threw different forums.

Ed,

Here is one of several concepts you need to fix in your mind. Databases don't have home pages. Client applications do. Databases store and manage data. Humans at the keyboard see the client application, not the database. Oracle provides some client apps ( iSQLPlus, Oracle Enterprise Manager (Grid Control), dbcontrol, APEX) and even installs some with the database by default, but they are distinctly separate from the database, and so must be identified when talking about user interface issues. Unfortunately, telling us you tried to open "the home page of oracle" tells us nothing at all. If you had said "Tried to log in with iSQLPlus" or "I tried to connect with Apex", it would have conveyed MUCH more information. We would have then had some frame of reference as to what you were seeing.
To the "upload from where" question : I simply copied the scripts ( .sql , file) from the pc's from school, on usb, then copied them on my own system. When using the "upload scripts" option from oracle, Again, you must distinguish between "oracle" (the database) and whatever client tool you use to connect to it. "Oracle" (the database) doesn't have an "upload scripts" option. Some un-named application does.
the script is uploaded, but when i try to "run" it , nothing , blank page. no tables, nada. And given what I've said above, you can guess what this statement means. - grin -
My first guess was, well the teacher said " i.e. only " , so i tried installing i.e. , using winetricks, but i had a feeling i was going off-track, and that surely there must have been a much easier way.
Even Billy was more charitable toward your teacher than I feel. And when he is so wrong about something as simple as this, makes me wonder what else he is wrong about. And the quality of the teachers calls into question the quality of the school in general.
In fact, had I been told that by an instructor, I would make it a personal mission to prove him wrong. Not in front of the class (as much short term satisfaction as that may provide) but just by taking my laptop to his office and saying "let me show you something". One of my personal hot buttons is for someone who should know better to pronounce something as "won't work" when I've been doing it for so long and so easily as to just take it for granted.

Linux (fedora 14) is up and running,
oracle 10g , linux version, was installed using detailed guide.
And yes, i will look into oracle linux, and oracle 11g ,
but i was hoping to use the same version as my school, to avoid any surprises when passing my exams.Edited by: EdStevens on Jun 13, 2011 3:02 PM

ERROR: Install cannot verify the oracle 10g Database

I just completed installation of the SES 10.1.8.2 version and am now trying to apply the 10.1.8.4 Service Pack. After the OUI screen asks for my sys password, I click on Next and receive a popup error message that reads,
Install cannot verify the oracle 10g Database. Please ensure that the database and its listener are running and please verify that the information you entered is correct.
The installer log file (installActions2010-04-15_08-56-19PM.log) shows this:
*** Specify the SYS Password Page***
Calling Query EmQueries4.2.2 checkUserExists
schemaName = SYS
schemaPassword = Protected value, not to be logged
connectString = (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=HostNodeName_1)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=Ses01.HostNodeName_1)))
userName = EQSYS
Query Returned: ERROR:Exception occured while connecting to database. Please check the connection details of the database you specified and retry.
Io exception: Got minus one from a read call
Error:*** Alert: Install cannot verify the Oracle10g Database. Please ensure that the database and its listener are running and please verify that the information you entered is correct. ***
User Selected: Yes/OK

I've verified that I can login as EQSYS using sqlplus. Also tested that I can login as sys, too. I've also tested the login using the Admin console and that is fine, too.
Any ideas on what is causing this or how to fix it is most welcome as I've not encountered this error before when installing SES or a service pack. I've even tried the OUI for Service pack 10.1.8.3 but also get the same error.
I've checked the listener.ora and tnsnames and they are OK. I've checked and the listener is running and so is the DB.
Right now, I have the Oracle SES instance up and running at 10.1.8.2 but need to upgrade this to the same level as the other SES search nodes.

My listener.log file is showing this message each time, I run the OUI and enter the sys password and click "Next"
15-APR-2010 23:17:05 * 12502
TNS-12502: TNS:listener received no CONNECT_DATA from client

A couple of other things that I have tried but have had no affect. I'm still getting the same error:
1. Tried recreating the orapwd file
orapwd file=orapwprdses01 password=prdses01
And make sure that the pfile or spfile has:
remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE'
another OTN posting said to try this:
1. Go to directory $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
2. Modify sqlnet.ora file with following parameter:
tcp.validnode_checking = no
3. If you don't want to disable this, you can put the machine names as follows:
tcp.invited_nodes=(machine1, machine2)
3. Bounce the listener.
.... but, I'm still getting the same error when trying to run the .runInstaller OUI for the service pack for 10.1.8.4.
