Using PL/PDF with Oracle XE

Hi, I'm looking for a paper reporting solution to use with my HTMLDB apps. PL/PDF sounds like it will do the job, but has anyone successfully integrated it with Oracle XE?

pl/pdf uses java:
- compressing page (plpdf_comp package): we issue a modified package for XE (without compress) see http://plpdf.com/dokumentumok/plpdf_comp_xe.sql.txt with some restrictions
- image (Oracle Intermedia): it's a option plpdf can work without Intermedia
You can try plpdf with XE.

Statement closed when using callable statements with oracle xe

hi all, i've got this problem with oracle express edition 10g. I am using also oc4j v10.1.2.0.2. When working with a normal oracle database it was working fine (i think the code was the same, it's some time since i last tried, but you can see the code is very simple).
So i just create a callable statement like this:
CallableStatement cs = con.prepareCall(sentencia.toString(), ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE, ResultSet.HOLD_CURSORS_OVER_COMMIT);
and then when trying to access the statement to register an out parameter like this
cs.registerOutParameter(1, parámetros[0].getTipo());
it gives this error:
java.sql.SQLException: Statement was closed
It's puzzling me because, as i said before, i think the same code was working ok with a normal oracle database.
Any idea what can it be?
cheers

Ah okay, sorry I've re-read your post.
I believe you need to create a clob object that encapsulates your xml file.
I've never done this but I would image it involves creating a class that implements the clob interface and passing an instantiation of this class to the callablestatement.
Let me know how you get on.

Using Java Dictionary With Oracle

Can Someone tell how can i configure my java dictionary with oracle...Currently if a create a table from my IDE and then deploy it it deploys to the Default SAP DB ...how do i directrly create tables in oracle by just specifying the Deploy option ...
And further on I want my web Dynpro application to talk with oracle db..how do i acheive this..
Please Help!!

Hi,
Does this mean that the additional features of The Java Dictionary (bufferring etc ) can only be implemented if we ONLY connect to the SAP DB---- YES
If I have to utilize the services of Java Dictionary in my application i can only use The SAP DB database -- YES
You deploy a dictionary project to create a table in the DB.
When it is a DB created and used by Web AS ,it is possible to create tables in that DB with dictionary project using the standard connection parameters specified in visual admin.
Java Dictionary purpose is to create a DB abstraction by providing a standard interface to create tables whatever the DB used by WebAS maybe.

Problems using SQL*Loader with Oracle SQL Developer

I have been using TOAD and able to import large (milllions of rows of data) in various file formats into a table in an Oracle database. My company recently decided not to renew any more TOAD licenses and go with Oracle SQL Developer. The Oracle database is on a corporate server and I access the database via Oracle client locally on my machine. Oracle SQL Developer and TOAD are local on my desktop and connected through TNSnames using the Windows XP platform. I have no issues with using SQL*Loader via the import wizard in TOAD to import the data in these large files into an Oracle table and producing a log file. Loading the same files via SQL*Loader in SQL Developer, freezes up my machine and I cannot get it to produce a log file. Please help!

I am using SQL Developer version 3.0.04. Yes, I have tried it with a smaller file with no success. What is odd is that the log file is not even created. What is created is a .bat file a control file and a .sh file but no log file. The steps that I take:
1.Right click on the table I want to import to or go to actions
2. Import Data
3. Find file to import
4. Data Preview - All fields entered according to file
5. Import Method - SQL Loader utility
6. Column Definitions - Mapped
7. Options - Directory of files set
8. Finish
With the above steps I was not able to import 255 rows of data. No log file was produced so I don't know why it is failing.
thanks.

Using OWB mappings with Oracle CDC/Streams and LCRs

Hi,
Has anyone worked with Oracle Streams and OWB? We're looking to leverage Streams to update our data warehouse using Streams to apply changes from the transactional/source DB. At some point we seem to remember hearing that OWB could leverage Streams, perhaps even using the Logical Change Records (LCRs) from Streams as input to mappings?
Any thoughts much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim Carter

Hi Jim,
We've built a fairly complex solution based on streams. We wanted to break up the various components into separate entities so that any network failure or individual component failure wouldn't cause issues for the other components. So, here goes:
1) The OLTP source database is streaming LCR's to our Datawarehouse where we keep an operational copy of production, updated daily from those streams. This allows for various operational reports to be run/rerun in a given day with the end-of-yesterday picture without impacting the performance on the source system.
2) Our apply process on the datamart side actually updates TWO copies of data. It does a default apply to our operational copy of production, and each of those tables have triggers that put a second copy of the data into daily partitioned tables. So, yesterday's partitions has only the data that was actually changed yesterday. After the default apply, we walk the Oracle dependency tree to fill in all of the supporting information so that yesterday's partition includes all the data needed to run our ETL queries for that day.
Example: Suppose yesterday an address for a customer was updated. Streams only knows about the change to the address record, so the automated process would only put that address record into the daily partition. The dependency walk fills in the associated customer, date of birth, etc. data into that partition so that the partition holds all of the related data to that address record for updates without having to query against the complete tables. By the same token, a change to some other customer info will backfill in the adress record for this customer too.
Now, our ETL queries run against views created against these partitoned tables so that they are only looking at the data for that day (the view s_address joins from our control tables to the partitiond address table so that we are only seeing one day's address records). This means that the ETL is running agains the minimal subset of data required to update dimensions and create facts. It also means that, for example, if there is a problem with the ETL we can suspend running ETL while we fix a problem, and the streaming process will just go on filling partitions until we are ready to re-launch ETL and catch up - one day at a time. We also back up the data mart after each load so that, if we discover an error in ETL logic and need to rebuild we can restore the datamart to a given day and then reprocess the daily partitions in order very simply.
We have added control fields in those partitioned tables that show which record was inserted/updated/or deleted in production, and which was added by the dependency walk so, if neccessary, our ETL can determine which data elements were the ones that changed. As we do daily updates to the data mart as our finest grain, this process may update a given record in a given partition multiple times so that the status of this record at the end of the day in that daily partition shows the final version of that record for the day. So, for example, if you add an address record an then update it on the same day the partition for that day will show the final updated version of the record, and the control field will show this to be a new inserted record for the day.
This satisfies our business requirements. Yours may be different.
We have a set of control tables which manage what partition is being loaded from streams, and which have been loaded via ETL to the datamart. The only limitation is that, of course, the ETL load can only go as far as the last partition completely loaded and closed from streams. And we manage the sizing of this staging system by pruning partitions.
Now, this process IS complex, and requires a fair chunk of storage, but it provides us with the local daily static copy of the OLTP system for running operational reports against without impacting production, and a guaranteed minimal subset of the OLTP system for speedy ETL runs.
As for referencing LCRs themselves, we did not go that route due to the dependency issues (one single LTR will almost never include all of the dependant data from which to update a dimension record or build a fact record, so we would have had to constantly link each one with the full data set to get all of that other info).
Anyway - just thought our approach might give you some ideas as you work out your own approach.
Cheers,
Mike

Using multipool Connections with Oracle 8i OPS Parallel Server

How to use "compatible identification with oracle 8" option in c#

Hi,
I'm using odp 9 to get data from an oracle 8 database. I tried to use odp 10 before, but it's not compatible with my data base.
I had to check the option "Utiliser une identification compatible avec oracle 8" ("use a Oracle8-compatible identification" in english I suppose) to make it works.
Next I tried to connect myself to the same database, using the same driver, through my .net application but connection failed.
So I would like to set the same option but in my c# source code.
Is there a specific connection string to use?
Thanks by advance for your answers
(and sorry for my english!! I tried to do my best^^)

ODP.NET 10gR2 depends on Oracle Client 10gR2 and that does not support Oracle 8. ODP.NET 10gR2 supports Oracle Database Server 10g, 9i, and 8i.

Anyone using Drupal 7 with Oracle 11g?

I am currently with a group that fields PHP applications on top of Oracle 11g databases. We currently use OCI8 in a RHEL6/Apache environment for our homegrown PHP apps and sites. We are looking at using Drupal 7 to help stream-line our development process as well as make our web apps a bit more visually appealing. (engineers not artists here!).
The problem we have run into is that it seems Drupal 7 does not see or recognize the OCI8 driver as valid for its install. It apparently wants us to use PDO_OCI which we have no experience with.
Does anyone out there run a Drupal 7/Oracle 11g combo that could share their experiences and which driver they use? My googling of the subject has led me to believe the PDO driver may be inferior in some respects to OCI8 for BLOB handling. This is a concern as we do a lot of user upload file sharing as BLOBs stored in the database rather than as files on the OS.
Thank you.

Drupal needs PDO and won't work with native drivers like OCI8. Contact Andrea Gariboldi, the maintainer of the Oracle adapter for Drupal http://drupal.org/project/oracle. He maintains a number of customer sites running Drupal. He will be able to help you make a decision.
The main PDO_OCI issues with LOBs are: (1) no CLOB support due to original creator being unsure how to handle CLOBs in a portable way across all databases (2) a crash doing multi-row fetches of BLOBs (potential patch in https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=57702)
There are other issues with PDO_OCI including no connection pooling and no statement caching. It's a pity the community interest in PDO_OCI hasn't been greater and so no one is maintaining it. Even the core PDO layer isn't getting much attention - there was idle talk recently about moving PHP away from PDO.

Using XML DB with Oracle Drive as Webdav client

Hi all -
I'm looking into using XML DB (10g) to store files so we can query their content via SQL/XPATH and then access/edit them via Webdav.
Windows Vista makes this easy, since it can map a drive to a Webdav URL. Mac OSX can do a similar thing.
Windows XP however can't do the drive mapping for WebDav on a port other than port 80, which is our setup.
So I tried out Oracle Drive, which I stumbled across on some site somewhere, and it worked. But it was an old version, so I downloaded the "official" version from Oracle, which is v10.2.0.0.22. This version refuses to connect to XML DB no matter what I do. I've fiddled with authentication, proxies, and so on (there are several posts elsewhere with hints on this) but so far no joy.
Has anyone had any experience making the latest version of Oracle Drive talk to XML DB?
Many Thanks

Thanks for replying.
Yes, we may decide to move XML DB to port 80, but there are other services running on our server and such a move would be a significant hassle.
As for Windows XP, it is not possible to do this: net use * http://server:8080/public
This works on Vista, but it only works on XP if you use port 80.
Note that XP has TWO built in Webdav clients: Web Folders (= Network Places) which is a feature in Explorer, and the Webdav Mini-Director which works at the file-system level. I don't think Web Folders can work for us since we need to be able to create a real filepath to give to our editor application. Maybe I'm wrong on that, but I can't figure it out.
Oracle Drive seems to be a great solution, but I can't make the most recent version work (the old version worked but was buggy).

Using Distributed Transaction with oracle 9i and VB

How to I get distributed transaction to work between a COM + object in VB and oracle using MSDAORA.1 driver? I keep getting the following error:
error number:
-2147168229
error description:
Cannot connect to the transaction manager or the transaction manager is unavailable.

Oracle 9i works great with VB.NET. I would recommend you to use Oracle Data Provider .NET (ODP.NET) as a database driver

for better performance and get full advantage of Oracle 9i features.

Best way to use CORBA 3 with Oracle

Hi, developers,
I was using Oracle 8i JVM with my CORBA server deployed without any problems. That was CORBA 2 with old BOA.
Now I have to implement CORBA 2.3 (I've met the "valuetype" in my new IDL definition). I've successfully compiled the IDL file with JDeveloper 9i (which uses the Visibroker's 4 idl2java compiler). The output was the heap of *.java including *POA.java files. I can not deploy them even when I use the Oracle9i database server.
1) Can anybody show me the way (or multiple ways) to create and to run the CORBA server with POA in the Oracle environment.
2) Is it possible to compile the IDL file (with valuetype statement) with -boa option and to use the output as it is shown in examples included in database server.
3) Are there any good links to find the documentation which could describe the CORBA client/server developing process with the help of JDeveloper.
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

Forget about using Corba with an oracle product.
I tried to connect a C++ corba client. It is supposed to work. But the guys who wrote the implementation don't work for Oracle anymore. The samples can't be compiled or linked because they use an old ORB.
Oracle support doesn't want to answer with a working solution (even if we PAY for support).
It is probably possible to use an old version of corba with java. I won't be surprised if it is dropped from a future version of the db or application server.
Try to use another solution (ejb, webservice, ...)
Good luck,
Jean-Paul

Using Unix tools with Oracle on Windows

I currently have an Oracle database installed on Windows, but would like to use Unix scripting tools and commands when connecting with my database.
Can anyone advise a good way to configure my system so that I can connect to my database from a Unix-like system?
Thanks in advance!

If getting a unix like system installed is not feasible (or is not an option), use this:
http://cygwin.com/
http://www.cygwin.com/mirrors.html
This is not exactly like running unix tools against the Oracle db, but allows you access to unix type shell for almost all of your unix shell scripting needs.

Using pages .pdf with MM

**I first asked this question in the "Pages" forum but got no response. I am hoping that someone here has tried something similar and has seen this issue when using Mobile Me/ iweb and pages together.
I have created a newsletter with one of the templates in pages. I used the link inspector to hot ling a couple of videos that I have in my MM gallery. I then converted the document to a .pdf so that I could email it with no challengers for PC users.
The links to the videos do not work and upon further inspection I discovered that where the link should be www.me.com/myname/gallery#10000026 the "#" before the number is actually a "&"? I went back and double checked the link in the inspector and it is correct it just seems that when you save the document as a .pdf it changes the # to a & thus rendering the link useless.
Has anyone seen this before? Any solutions?
Thanks!

I found a solution.

Plz help: how can i index multiple directories including pdfs with oracle text??

problem:
i habe several subdirectories with pdf files which must be indexed by a fulltext index.
.../dir/
sub_dir1/
1.pdf
2.pdf
sub_dir2/
3.pdf
4.pdf
it's possible that other users create new subdirs.
try #1:
i tried to update the FILE_DATASTORE parameter PATH with the concatenated directory list
i.e.: (.../dir/subdir1:.../dir/subdir2:...) and updating the index.
that fails, because the directory string is too long (1637 chars)
try #2:
i set the FILE_DATASTORE PATH parameter to the basedir
i.e.: ('.../dir')
now i generate a list of all pdf's including the subdirectories to store them into
a new table.
i.e.: '12345', 'subdir1/1.pdf'
'23456', 'subdir1/2.pdf'
this one fails, 'cause it seems that the database uses some kind of basename() function to
get the "filename_only" part of the table entry 'subdir1/1.pdf' => '1.pdf'.
so, the db fails to open (and indexing of cause) the file.
how can i solve this prob?
thanks in advance!!!
best regards.
/achim

If you need to use multiple directories, you'll need to put the full directory and filename into the table, and not use the PATH attribute at all. PATH only works where all files are in the same directory (though you MAY find you can use more than one directory on certain OS's).
