Using oracle lite as a standalone database

we are currently using olite 4.0 as a standalone/embedded database. although some form of data synchronisation is required, it is handled separately by our own program.
to use oracle 9i lite as a standalone/embedded database seems like a daunting task now. the environment now is much more complex compared to olite 4.0.
any idea how I can use oracle 9i lite just for the database only, without installing all the unnecessary stuffs?
thanks.

Hi,
I have been using Oracle Flashback Database for a long time in our test environments. As you already said, I recommend that you create Guaranteed Restore Points rather than rely on db_flashback_retention_target.  If you are planning to use Guaranteed Restore Points only, then you don't need to turn on flashback. If flashback database is not enabled, then the database must be mounted, not open, when creating the first guaranteed restore point (or if all previously created guaranteed restore points have been dropped).
My Answers:
1) I don't think so. Flashback database is faster compared to RMAN restore/recover operations.
2) Create a backup ins not mandatory, but is a good practice.
3) I created a Nagios plugin that take this work for me, but you can check the v$recovery_file_dest view from time to time.
4) If you take a backup then I don't see a problem, but take care that flashback database relies not only on flashback log files but also in archive redo log files. I recommend you to delete archivelogs (from RMAN) after you drop the restore point.
5) Flashback log files are automatically deleted after the Guaranteed restore points are deleted.
6) Read documentation, make more tests. In 2011 I wrote an article (Brazilian Portuguese) about Flashback Database. Maybe you can take a look ;-)

  • Error while trying access JSP page first time using Oracle Lite

    Hi,
    We are doing a proof of concept using Oracle Lite 10gR3. Installed Mobile server and published a JSP based application. Installed web-to-go setup.exe on a client machine and synchronized the application. However when we tried to open the page, it comes up with an error. We are using jdk version 1.4. Any advise will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

    (Since this is the general forum for the 'big' database, my advice would be to ask in the Oracle Lite forum. Database Mobile Server (inc. legacy Database Lite)
    If this is a formal evaluation, you could also get a Sales-sponsored trial which usually comes with 30-90 days of Metalink support. You would be able to search for notes like Doc 414106.1
    Bottom line is that the code is for JDK 1.5 and it's being deployed against JDK 1.4.2. Something needs to be either upgraded or downgraded.

  • How are you Using Oracle Lite?

    I'm doing a little research and am curious how people are using Oracle Lite...any feedback would be helpful, thanks!

    Hi Laurie,
    First, Robert - Lite'n up. This a "user forum" and open to any question, right? If we start chastising people for posting what read to me as a rather innocent question you might not expect to get many questions from newbies and responses from the gurus.
    Laurie, I have ported a J2EE application that uses Oracle enterprise as the database and BEA WebLogic as the server to an "off-line" accessible application that uses OLite and Apache Tomcat. Since this application was already written and we did not want to rewrite any [significant] portion, so I decide on Tomcat instead of OLite's Java engine. However, I will most likely use OLite "Web" application(s) for other apps that we are considering porting to this platform. So far, it seems like a great platform for an application that works with a rdbms.
    Hope this helps with your thesis ; )

  • Application Development using Jdeveloper using Oracle Lite

    Hi all,
    I need to develop an application that works with the oracle database lite technology.
    Ritght now I am working on some 10 tables .The Scenario is like the application developed is deployed on the middle tier and the user downloads it and goes offline. And he uses the application offline with the same tables present (that are used in developing the application) in another database present on the user machine . I have gone through the ADF BC tutorials but I couldn’t figure out whether the business components (view objects, entity objects) that are created by using tables (connecting to a particular schema in the database) can work if the schema changes(coz I tried doing that and faced errors that connection to database couldn’t be established ). I think this might be because the schema has changed.
    Does this Business components created work if the database schema changes?
    Is it possible to develop an application using java swing that works on the oracle database lite? I need a standalone Windows 32 application to be developed.
    Thanks in advance

    Let's assume you have two database schema USER1 and USER2
    And let's assume that USER2 grants the appropriate privileges so that USER1 can see his tables.
    If you connect as USER1 in JDeveloper and create an entity object based on a table USER2.SOMETABLE, then the SomeTable entity object will remember the USER2 schema name as part of the table name.
    If instead if USER1 creates an entity object against a table in his own USER1 schema, then the entity object will only record the "TABLENAME" in the entity metadata, without a schema qualifier. In this case, if you connect to a different schema at runtime which still has the expected TABLENAME table in it, then it will work fine.
    Generally you would want to use an entity based on a synonym instead of an entity based directly on a SCHEMANAME.TABLENAME so that it wouldn't matter if the schema changed.
    Yes, you can build Swing, JSF, or JSP applications against Oracle Lite using ADF BC.

  • Stream Corrupted Exception using ORACLE LITE 8i

    Our application on the client needs to insert word documents in the form of BLOBS in the ORACLE I LITE database.
    I am using the below JDBC driver to store and retrieve the BLOB from the database and i have the ODBC driver for the Oracle LITE installed on the machine.
    String jdbcURL = "jdbc:Polite:egcaspacclient";
    String uid = "system";
    String passwd = "***";
    String driver = "oracle.lite.poljdbc.POLJDBCDriver";
    But i try to read the BLOB from the database i am getting a streamCorrupted exception while reading the StreamHeader. I am using ObjectInputStream and ObjectOutputStream to store and retrieve the BLOB information.
    I infact tried the same code with the ORACLE8i database and it is working.
    I read some documentation that Oracle LITE supports storing the BLOBS.
    I am wondering if anything wrong with the driver i am using.
    Also the datatype in the BLOB column of the database is showing as undefined. But i see some information is stored to that column when i insert the BLOB.
    I would appreciate if anybody provide with some clues.
    Thanks

  • Can I use Oracle Forms Services 11g with Database 9.2.0.8.0?

    Hi everyone.
    My department is evaluating development tools in order to build new web applications, and also possibly to migrate current applications buit with Oracle Forms 6.0.5.34.0. Our database is Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64bit.
    We have read that the newest Oracle Forms version is Oracle Forms Services 11g. Is Oracle Forms Services 11g compatible with Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64bit? or would we have to migrate our RDBMS to Oracle 11g?
    If our database is compatible, what would we need to develop and deploy applications with Oracle Forms Services 11g?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Wheter it's compatible or not: Database 9.2.0.8 is in sustaining support which means you won't get patches for it. So even if it is compatible I'd opt to upgrade to a newer version, as I wouldn't feel comfortable having a not-supported product out in production.
    Have a look at the certification matrix for supported configurations
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/fmw-11gr1certmatrix.xls
    As for the requirements; most things can be found on the forms homepage on OTN:

    or at the documentation:

  • Oracle Lite Mobile Server Standalone Version

    We are planning to run the Mobile Server in the DMZ and wanted to run the Mobile Server as standalone on it's own box. I found in the documentation that Oracle does not recommend to run the standalone version in production. Oracle recommends that the production use the Oracle Application Server for the middle-tier.
    Does anyone know why Oracle recommends we don't use Mobile server as standalone in a production environment?
    Message was edited by:
    Javier Ruiz

    I have used the stand-alone as a production solution with 1000 users synching approx 2 GB a day and users databases having databases ranging from 50 MB to 1 GB.
    I am deploying to app server and here is what I have found to be better.
    * <strike>better</strike> easier management of the JVM. Actually, maintenance in general is much easier. I like the performance monitors that come with application server. Easier then logging into a telnet session and using mpstat and prstat.
    Does it limit you going stand-alone? No.
    But I would recommend that the bigger the system, the more robust your application server should be. Both in hardware and software (webcache, app server)

  • How to use oracle APEX with an distant database located on a distant server

    Hi there,
    I'm a brand new user with Oracle Technologies. I've installed ORACLE 10g XE and updated APEX to 4.0 version on my laptop.
    My Manager has setup a distant server with a Linux Red Hat. He has installed on this server EBS R12 with a 11i database.
    As a training, I'd like to play with the tables located on the server with the APEX 4.0 installed on my laptop.
    As the server is on the same local network and following the description above, is it possible to plug my local APEX to the server database ?
    If not, does it mean I have to install APEX on the 11i server database and then connect to the server to play with those tables ?
    Thanks a lot for your time and support ACEs members.
    Regards,
    Ulrich

    Hi Ulrich,
    yes, you can access other database from your APEX database. The mechanism used to do this is called a "database link". You need to create such a database link in your local database, then you can access the remote database like this:
    SELECT *
      FROM databaselink@EMP
    ;If you want to use such remote objects from within APEX you need to create local views to wrap this (search the forum for apex and database links, you'll find interesting threads).

  • Can I use Oracle database Standar Edition One?

    Hi,
    In what versions of database can use Oracle Lite, to my central Database?
    Can Oracle Lite support Oracle Standar Edition ONE?
    In the official documentation only mentions Enterprise Edition and Standar Edition
    Thanks in advance

    Just quickly viewing oracle's datasheet on the product, I don't see why you couldn't. I don't think it is supported to work with Oracle Mobile Server though. Also, the maximum CPUs supported are 2 on Standard One. Depending on how many mobile users you require, this could be a bottleneck.

  • Is it possible to use Oracle Forms 10g with Oracle 10g Lite Database?

    Hi All,
    We are in process of migrating our forms from 6i to 10g environment.
    We have two kinds of applications, one set run on general Oracle 11g database and the other set of forms run at the client machine using Oracle lite database.
    We dont have any problem with Forms 6i to connect to Lite database as it allows to connect through ODBC:DSN names. When we try to connect to a lite database (10gR3) from Forms 10g through ODBC/DSN, it's not allowing and throwing the below error.
    ORA-03121 : no interface driver connected - function not performed
    Can someone tell me if there is something wrong in our approach? Also advise how to use Oracle Lite database with Forms 10G.
    Sincerely,
    Praveen Manthena

    Hi,
    I have experience with 6i with lite database 10g. There are two version of lite database one is multi language support and other one in english. There lang problem in connectivity with multi language 10g lite database. I done connectivity with single language connectivity of 6i with 10g lite database. You should try this one with forms 10g.

  • Converting between tables in an Oracle Lite Database

    We have a standalone application that uses Oracle Lite. A requirement we have from a new customer is to use their Oracle Lite database structure or to come up with a mechanism that sends the data between the 2 different structures.
    Both the structures reside in the same database.
    Initial thoughts were to write triggers on both structures that convert the data or to use XML / XSL and treat them as seperate apps.
    However, I'm wondering if there is a different way. Do Oracle provide any tools that can help with mapping between 2 different structures that hold the same domain data?
    Anyone got any better ideas?
    Cheers, Matt

  • JDBC API ( JSR 169 ) Implementation for accessing oracle lite database

    We are developing an application using IBM J9 (CDC and Foundation Profile) on Pocket PC 2003 environment with SWT as the front end development. We are using Oracle Lite 9i as the Client database.
    We have sucessfully installed Oracle Lite and was able to create tables in the database.. however we could not find the JDBC API (java.sql and javax.sql packages which is JSR 169 JDBC 2.0/3.0) inorder to load the JDBC driver(OLITE40.jar) and access the oracle Lite Database on Pocket PC.
    IBM J9 Micro Environement does not have this support.
    I am wondering if Oracle provides this implementation.
    If not is there a get around.
    the client database is crucial to the application and i would really appreciate an answer to our problem.

  • Managing a single Oracle Lite database file

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there's the possibility of using a single database file of Oracle Lite just like it can be done with SQL Server CE. At the moment, I'm using the SQLCE driver of .NET to manipulate my SDF file (SQLCE database for Pocket PCs) without using a SQL SERVER Merge replication; however, I was trying to change my SQLCE database to an Oracle Lite database without using the whole replication thing. I've already installed the whole Oracle Lite 10g kit but it seems it's necessary to create some DNS (that I don't fully understand :S) and that's not what I'm looking for. I hope my explanation isn't that vague and ambiguous. Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    César C.

    See Connection string  and DSN
    It appears that c:\windows\polite.ini c:\windows\odbc.ini need to be installed. odbc.ini must contain the DSN entry for your DB.
    Note you can create/modify these files when you install you application that uses Oracle Lite. If you happen to have an application that dynamically creates the DB then you can reuse the one DSN entry for multiple DBs. Just provide the DB location in the connection string along with the DSN reference.
    string dbpath = Path.Combine(
    Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Windows.Forms.Application.ExecutablePath), "Oracle");
    string constr = string.Format(@"DataDirectory={0};Database={1};DSN={2};uid=system;pwd=manager",
    dbpath, DB, DSN);
    OdbcConnection cn = new OdbcConnection(constr);

    Dear All,
    I'm going to create development environment for EBS 11i using database 11g. As i know, the rapidwiz install pack using Oracle 9i as the default database.
    Could I install EBS 11i using database 11g? Is there any documentation for this kind of installation? Or Do i have to Install EBS 11i using the default database then migrate it to Oracle database 11g?
    Many Thanks

    I'm going to create development environment for EBS 11i using database 11g. As i know, the rapidwiz install pack using Oracle 9i as the default database. Correct.
    Could I install EBS 11i using database 11g?No, you will need to install 9i which comes with 11i Rapid Install then upgrade the database to 11gR2
    Is there any documentation for this kind of installation? If you mean install 11i using 11g then no such doc exists.
    Or Do i have to Install EBS 11i using the default database then migrate it to Oracle database 11g?Correct.
