Using the Oracle Database XE Menus on Linux

I've installed Oracle Database 10g Express Edition at my Mandriva Linux rel. 2006.0 server. Everything went ok, the database is up and running.
But, the "Getting Started Guide" chapter 6, refers to howto "using the Oracle Database XE Menus" --> "On Linux, click the Application menu (on Gnome) or the K menu (on KDE) and then point to Oracle Database 10g Express Edition". I'm not able find anything like this in my KDE menus ??. Do anyone know which binaryfile i can start, to get the into the XE Menus.
As far as i can see, my only option is to connect to the database through the browser --> http://localhost:8080/apex or from outside --> http://server01:8080/apex (the remote connection is enabled).

I found the oraclexe*.desktop files here:
/var/lib/menu/kde/Applications/OracleXE
Linked from here: /usr/share/applications
I'm not sure why KDE won't show the OracleXE KDE menu. But as a quick fix I copied all the oraclexe*.desktop files to my $HOME/Desktop
Better that nothing, but I would like to get the menu for OracleXE into my KDE menu?!
I'm running KDE throug vncviewer, maybe thats the problem.

Automatically complete a word template using the oracle database

I have a Microsoft office word template and I would like to automatically complete some fields using data from my Oracle 10g database. For example where I have the text “Dear Mr.” I want to get the name of that person from a table in the database. Also by pressing a button in Oracle forms I want to open the word document to see the result. Any ideas how to do that? Thank you.

How to store image in the oracle database 10.2. using File Maker 10.

Hi.,
I want to store image, media file in the oracle database using File Maker as a front end.
I connect Oracle using odbc from file maker. There are table and in that table there a column "pict" of blob type. but this column is not showing in the file maker.
2. Here I can not change the data type of any column.
Now how to store images in the oracle table using odbc or any other tool.
Regards,
Shyam

I wrote an example for my students, you can find it here. It's using PHP as the front end but all you need to do is know how and leverage the stored procedures. All code is downloadable in zip files from the blog.

Using Oracle Developer Suite 10g Without the Oracle Database

I have never used Oracle, but have used MS SQL Server 7. I need to learn Forms. An Oracle salesperson suggested I download Oracle Developer Suite 10g (the demo product). It includes the Oracle Developer Suite (with Forms Developer), and many other programs.
The salesperson said it includes a database server, but I suspect it does not. I only downloaded the package last night, and have begun to skim the documentation, but I see nothing that looks like a database server.
In SQL Server 7, the database engine is run as a service and you create and manage your tables (do all the database admin stuff) using SQL Enterprise Manager.
So, does this package include a database engine/server? Or must you also have the Oracle Database?
I don't see a demo version of the Oracle Database - is there one?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
The Developer Suite does not contain a demo version of the Oracle Database.
You can download the database from this page:

Our organization uses an Oracle database hosted on a Unix platform and one of our data processing outputs is a “stuffer” document that has a barcode, and Unix jobs automatically send the document to a printer.
Is there a way, or does Adobe have a product or solution, to create a PDF version of the document including the barcode, before it’s sent to a printer?

What format is the document that is printed? Or what technology is used to format the printer? There isn't a standard way of doing things in Unix.

Using the Oracle Repository Command Line Tool under Linux

I have to use the command lines of Linux for SCM commands(like repcmd,

should I have to install something?
I have documentation for using the oracle repository command line Toll

repository command line Tool for Linux.

JDeveloper runs excellent on Linux and is supposed to be able to use the repository, but that's a GUI...

When I get a date field value using the Oracle thin (type 4) JDBC driver...

....in 'DD-MMM-YY' format from an Oracle 8i database and pass it in to the java.util.Date() constructor, I get a IllegalArgumentException. This error doesn't occur when I use the type 2 driver, so it is apparently a driver-specific thing. It happens on both Win32 and Linux.
Has anyone seen this before? Is there a newer version of the Oracle thin (i.e., type 4) driver than is listed here?
http://web77-02.us.oracle.com/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/content.html
Thanks,

Yup, that original post didn't make much sense, did it? Let's try again.
I've got an EJB app that runs on WebLogic 6.0 (on Solaris in production, on Win2K for development) and accesses an Oracle 8i database. This app currently uses the Oracle type 2 JDBC drivers. All is well.
So I wanted to see how it would run on Linux. I've got a Redhat 7.1 box handy, so I installed the JDK and WL6.0 and slapped the ear file on there. Problem! Can't deploy because there are no Oracle drivers on this machine!
Makes sense. So I started looking around, and it seems installing Oracle on a RH 7.1 box involves patching glibc and other such nastiness. So let's just try the type 4 JDBC driver - no glibc patch, no shared object libraries, just good 'ol pure Java talking to Oracle on port 1521.
Once I had the URLs and whatnot set up, the app connected to the DB just fine, created the connection pool, read some data, etc. But when my app read a date from the DB and instantiates a new java.util.Date object, I got an IllegalArgumentException - i.e., the date can't be parsed.
"Hmm... that's odd", I thought, so back I went to my trusty Win2K machine, modified my configuration files to use the type 4 driver and - same error! So I switched back to the type 2 driver - and everything works fine, Dates and all. Hmmm.....
As you correctly state, that Date constructor is deprecated and I should use DateFormats and GregorianCalendars and whatnot instead.
But has anyone seen this weird behavior before - code that works fine on a type 2 driver starts throwing exceptions when used with a type 4 driver? Anyone have any solutions?
Thanks much,
Tom

I installed Oracle database 10g on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 edition.

I installed Oracle database 10g on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 edition.
But this massage pop up when I used my browser first time before start database.
Actually when I clicks on yes to start database.
The web browser you are using is not optimized for this release of Oracle enterprise manager. It is recommended that you use one of the following:
* Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5, 6.0 or higher
* Netscape Navigator version 7 and higher
*Mozilla version 1.3.1 and higher
Dose any one know hoe to upgrade mozilla or install internet explorer 5.5, 6.0 or higher or SLES 8.

You can download package for your distribution (for example) from http://www.mozilla.org or directly from SuSE ftp server ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.1/suse/i586

Is the Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 enough for preparing for the 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-144 Exams?

I am planning on getting certified as an OCA PL\SQL developer. I will be teaching myself and I have all the material needed to prepare.
Except, I don't have a database that I can solve exercises on and practice commands.
The two exams I will be taking are the :
1Z0-051 exam: Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I
1Z0-144 exam: Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL
So is the Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 is enough ?
If it is not what other options do I have (I am running Windows 8.1) ?

Yes -- 11gXE should be sufficient for practicing the vast majority of the skills required for those two exams. I *think* that PARALLEL is not enabled in XE, so you could not test the functionality referred to in the "Use NOCOPY hint, PARALLEL ENABLE hint and DETERMINISTIC clause" topic of 1Z0-144. I don't consider that to be a significant problem, however. The material from the manual should suffice for the questions you'll see.
As for what other options you have, you could download and install VirtualBox (free from Oracle). You could then make a virtual machine on your Windows 8.1 machine and install Oracle Linux (free from Oracle). You could then download and install Oracle Enterprise for Linux and install it on your virtual machine (allowable under the licensing when used for learning purposes only). I have a similar setup on my Windows 7 laptop that I use when I absolutely have to test some feature that requires Oracle Enterprise. Mind you, when I have the VM running on my system... it is ssssslllllloooooowwwwww because of the memory requirements. I talk about using virtual machines as a certification aid in the following article:

To take a cold backup, shutdown the database. Then use the "tar"
command to backup all of the files that make up the database.
You should also backup the config.ora, and the initxxxx.ora

How can i save the data from the Oracle database to my local directory

How can i save the data from the Oracle database to my local directory instead Of saving the data file to the Directory created on the Oracle Server ?
I require to design the Procedure which will pull the data from various tables and needs to store the data in the Client's local directory.

Since SQL*PLUS runs on the client, you can use SQL*PLUS to spool data to your local drive.
You could also use the database to write a a specified drive where all users have access to (mapped network drive, e.g.). I wouldn't recommend doing it that way, but it is sometimes useful when the files are created in some nightly batch run.

Error when installing 9.0.1.4.0 patch set for the Oracle Database Server.

Hi to all.
Currently, i am trying to install patches for portal server.
The server OS is Sun Solaris 8.
We are using Oracle9iAS.
Now, we are installing 9.0.1.4.0 patch set for the Oracle Database Server.
We managed to install the patch, but have problem with the Post Install Action.
We managed to run
-ALTER SYSTEM ENABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
-@rdbms/admin/catpatch.sql
-ALTER SYSTEM DISABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
-CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
-update obj$ set status=5 where type#=29 and owner#!=0;
-commit;
But, when we come to the next command, which is to shutdown, it gives us like
this..
SQL> update obj$ set status=5 where type#=29 and owner#!=0;
1402 rows updated.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1

We tried to startup the database..it gives us this error..
SQL> startup
ORA-01081: cannot start already-running ORACLE - shut it down first
So, we tried to shutdown again..
SQL> shutdown immediate
ORA-01089: immediate shutdown in progress - no operations are permitted
I been informed that this is maybe a Database problem related. Any ideas?

Using Refcursor in Callable Statement without using the Oracle Drivers

Hello all,
Is there anyway to have a stored procedure (Oracle 8i) return a refcursor to my CallableStatement without using the Oracle Thin drivers (i'm now using jdbcodbc). I've tried registering my out parameter with every possible type i can think of...REF, JAVA_OBJECT, OTHER, etc. but with no luck.
Help!!!!

Certainly...I connect to the database using the
jdbcodbc driver and when i execute any of the code, i
get the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-06550:
line 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call
to 'PVISUAL_GET'
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
It's bombing on the line that i attempt to register
OracleTypes.CURSOR. It works fine when i use the
oracle thin drivers, but i want to get this puppy
working with the JdbcOdbcDriver. Here's the code:
CallableStatement dbCall =
nt dbCall =
(CallableStatement)connection.prepareCall("{ call
PAK_VISUAL_GET.pvisual_get(?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?) }");
dbCall.setString(1, sessionKey);
dbCall.setInt(2,
l.setInt(2, Integer.parseInt(storedVizID));
dbCall.registerOutParameter(3,
arameter(3, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
dbCall.registerOutParameter(4,
arameter(4, OracleTypes.NUMBER);
dbCall.registerOutParameter(5,
arameter(5, OracleTypes.VARCHAR);
dbCall.registerOutParameter(6,
arameter(6, OracleTypes.NUMBER);
dbCall.execute();when you don't use oracle thin driver, you cannot use the OracleTypes. but, instead use the java.sql.Types values.Replace dbCall.registerOutParameter(3, OracleTypes.CURSOR); with
dbCall.registerOutParameter(3,java.sql.Types.OTHER). things should be fine.
