Using xls as the database

can we use the .xls file as the database. If so how to set it up and use it?
-karthek

In Excel you have the spreadsheet. I assume each column in the first row contains the column heading. Select all the data and the first row. Go to INSERT then NAME on the tool bar. Specify a suitable name for the region you selected on the spreadsheet. Setup an ODBC connection to this name. This is how the speadsheet becomes your database. You can establish connections to this database in the usual way.
Hope this helps.

Automated email using blobs in the database

hi,
I am wanting to have the facility for my db to send emails with attachments(with the file stored in the db)
in an automated fashion.
the things I have working at the moment.
1. I have got a DBMS_JOB working to handle the automated part.
2. I have got a java class that sends emails. (no attachments)
3. I have loaded the java class into the database using LOADJAVA
4. A DBMS_JOB sends emails.
Now what I want to know, is
1. With attaching a file into a Java class, (remembering the program is going to be working from the database)
I assume that a BLOB is the best option? as opposed to long Raw???
2. possible specifics for the java class in attaching the BLOB to the message??
3. in Oracle Forms, how do I get a file into the database as a BLOB. using DBMS_LOB???? what sort of Item
do I declare them??
Any Ideas/help would be greatly appreciated
Greg

Greg,
Which database release do you plan to use? Here are the answers to your questions,
1. We recommend our customers to use CLOB/BLOBs instead of LONG/LONG RAW since Oracle8. CLOB/BLOBs are much more flexible than LONG/LONG RAW.
2. You can use JDBC to read BLOB/CLOBs from the database and format them to the desired mail protocol, say MIME. You can learn more about JDBC access of LOBs at http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/appdev.920/a96591/adl03prg.htm#283613
3. You can find an example of using DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE at http://tahiti.oracle.com/pls/db92/db92.tabbed?section=25021
Is there a way for me to contact you for further discussion offline?
Regards,
Geoff

What front-end tools could be used to access the database server.

Could someone please let me know what would be the role of a oracle DBA in the following fields of corporate sector and what might be the front-end tools used to access the oracle database. Any little help is very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
1. Telecommunication - Oracle 9i - Small to Medium size company
2. Cash n Carry (with 4 to 5 branches) - Oracle 8i - small to medium
3. Share broking (with two branches) - Oracle 8i - small

The role of a DBA should be to get out as quickly as possible, because both 8i and 9i are desupported.
Front-end tools are
Developer
JDeveloper
HTML DB (probably no longer available, while desupported)
Oracle Portal (9i and higher)
.NET
Oracle Application Express (successor of HTML DB, don't remember the minimum DB version, likely 10g)

Using Express when the database schema does not match theclass model

We are working on a large pay/personnel management system and are
evaluating Forté Express and Sage Scaffolds. We need to answer some big
questions in the near future, and I was hoping that there may be someone
out there with the answers.
1. How different can the database schema and the class model be, before
Express becomes a bad choice of framework? What solutions exist for cases
where Express is still a viable option?
2. Assuming that we can get around the problem in question 1, will the
Application Model features still work afterwards? (i.e. how sensitive are
the client-side services to changes in the database services?)
3. Express seems to use domain classes everywhere, whereas we are always
being advised to use scalar attributes wherever possible. How badly does
this affect the performance of Express applications?
4. Has anybody out there used Sage Scaffolds on a large project recently?
How did it go? What problems should we watch out for? Doesn't its 'Chain
of Responsibility' pattern tend to produce a lot of unnecessary objects at
run-time?
5. Has anybody used the Born collection classes? How do they compare with
Brahma's Fortify?
Thanks to those who have already helped - all input gratefully received!

dbms_xmlschema.registerSchema ( schemaURL, xdbURIType(schemaPath).getClob(), TRUE, TRUE, FALSE, TRUE );
end;
/ I guess my understanding was that I could grant another oracle user access to my registered schema just like I can grant a single user access to a table. Evidently I only have two options. Only the schema owner can use the schema or everyone can use the schema and I cannot grant access to a single user other than myself.

Using RMAN restore the database on a new host in ASM

Hello All,
I am trying to restore a database without using RMAN database duplicate. I want to do set new name for datafile and rename log file for online logs and change database name at last using NID.
here are details
source database - APSPROD / server - X
target database - EMERALD / Server -Y
Compressed backup is copied to destination server and I am trying to restore database using RMAN. Here is my init.ora file
cat initAPSPROD1.ora
DB_NAME=APSPROD
compatible=11.2.0.3
sga_target=8G
CONTROL_FILES='+DATA_DM01/EMERALD/controlfile/cntrl01.dbf','+RECO_DM01/EMERALD/controlfile/cntrl02.dbf','+DATA_DM01/EMERALD/controlfile/cntrl03.dbf'
DB_BLOCK_SIZE=8192
db_file_name_convert=(+DATA_DM01/APSPROD,+DATA_DM01/EMERALD)
log_file_name_convert=(+DATA_DM01/APSPROD,+DATA_DM01/EMERALD,+RECO_DM01/APSPROD,+RECO_DM01/EMERALD)
DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST='+RECO_DM01'
DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE=5500G
So from above you can see that control file should be restored to +DATA_DM01/EMERALD and +RECO_DM01/EMERALD path.
Question -
when I am trying to restore control file. It creates an ASM alias name in +DATA_DM01/EMERALD/controlfile/cntrl01.dbf',+RECO_DM01/EMERALD/controlfile/cntrl02.dbf',' and +DATA_DM01/EMERALD/controlfile/cntrl03.dbf' but It creates fully Qualified ASM Filename under +DATA_DM01/APSPROD and +RECO_DM01/
Here is output

Can I use the database with as the ses as a regular database?

I write a application base on SES recently, and I need to store some data in the database. Can I use the the database with ses?
I can login using sqlplus login the database using the same pc as the ses installed, but I cannot login using sqldeveloper on other pc.
I set ORACLE_HOME equals SES_HOME
ORACLE_SID as ses

I have similar requirement to connect to the database.
I have removed those two lines from sqlnet.ora.
However, when I using tnsping, I got below error
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION=(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=SES.us.oracle.com))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=144.25.165.5)(PORT=1521)))
TNS-12541: TNS:no listener
anythings else that I need to do

Calling external C code from the database

Hi,
We have an external routine written in C which we want to reuse. I have run this using external procedure call but as expected extproc processing is very slow. The routine cannot be rewritten, it is a "black box" component. We have considered wrapping the call to C in a Java procedure using JNI and installing the java inside the database to run inside the oracle jvm. Does anyone know if this will work or has any experience of using JNI inside the database? Is this supported by Oracle? Does anyone have any ideas/advice for tuning extproc calls or other alternatives to suggest for calling C from inside the database.
Thanks

Thanks for the advice. I did notice the support comment in the documentation - pretty much kills that idea then! Bulk processing might be difficult. The external procedure works on two values, one taken from the environment and one from a value embedded in each row of a table...the function is called once for each row and returns a value which i then use within a context and drives visibility, or not, of the row through Virtual Private Database configuration. So when an operator runs "Select * from a_table" the VPD adds in "and/where this_row_is_visible". Both the row value and operator environment value are updateable in real time so I cannot "process" the data first. Sounds like I need to set expectations here!
Thanks

How to know used space(size) of database or user?

Hi
can anyone let me know how to caluculate the used space(size) of the database ans user(schema).
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
For the used space of the database you may use the following query:
select sum(bytes)/(1024*1024) "Mo" from dba_segments;For the used space of the Schemas you may use the query below:
select owner, sum(bytes)/(1024*1024) "Mo"
from dba_segments
group by owner;Hope this help.
Best regards,

Backing up the database in jboss

Hi!
I have done a program used to access the database in JBoss Application server.
However, as I need to bring both the server and client side (and the database) to another computer,
I need to backup the database.
Since I don't know where the database related files are storing in the JBoss Application Server,
I wonder how can I backup the database, so that i can move the whole system from one computer to another?
Many Thanks!

First steps
1. Determine what database vendor is being used. This in in the configuration for the JEE server, if a pool is being used, otherwise code.
2. Determine what databases are being used. This can be determine by the configuration as well.

Puzzle in mocking the database

Hello, topicers
I need your help. The question is in below:
I have a web project, and using MySql as the DataBase. Now I want to add a mock function. Use csv file replacing MySql and modify current source as few as possible.
Using the transaction is not a good idea. Because in my project, one mock process includes more than one http request.
Can you have some good suggestions, Please tell me.
Thank you
yours

I have no idea about it at all.That makes two of us. Your question makes no sense at all, and neither does your design.
