What are the benefits to using the OCI JDBC driver?

I understand that the Thin JDBC driver is geared toward Applets since it is all Java and relatively small for download. If I am running servlets is there any compelling reason for me to use the OCI driver? I would think my application would be more portable if I stuck with the Thin driver even on the server side. This would allow me to easily move my servlet application to UNIX from NT, Java Web Server to IIS, IIS to Apache... So, does anyone know what one would gain by maintaining the Oracle Client software on the server and using the OCI driver?
Thanks in advance.

It's not a separate account. It's simply an additional address on your existing account and you can use it or not use it at your own convenience. Your @me.com address will be unaffected.

  • Benefits from using the MSI driver against the latest on my R4870 ?

    hi,
    Quote from: Stu
    You don't always need the latest drivers installed
    I am new to the forums and was thinking of OC'ing my video card MSI R4870 512M but before doing so I was wondering if there are any benefits from using the latest driver available at MSI site against the latest driver available from AMD site ?
    Code: [Select]
    MSI 23-07-2010 Version 8.723
    ATI 15-09-2010 Version 10.9
    Also from your experience what would be a nice safe OC that this card would hold, I don't want to go overboard just increase it some more ? it is currently at GPU 500 and Memory 900

     To answer 2nd part, you can attempt to match the factory OC version of the card. See 4870 OC specs > here < If you haven't done so yet download > Afterburner < from MSI.
     4870~something doesn't look right, your GPU clock is way lower than any of the MSI 4870 cards shown on the Global website. From what I see core clock should be at least 750 for the 4870. Are you sure your core clock  is at 500 or is that a low power state for that card? does the speed go up under a load? I know speed of the NVIDIA cards drop very low under light load.
     I'm pretty sure most people use the CCC drivers from AMD/ATI. If you're not having any problems that can be traced to drivers there's no need to bother with them.

  • Issue encountered when Login as sysdba role using Thin Oracle JDBC Driver

    Hello all,
    we are now considering to use Thin oracle JDBC driver to create database in our project, but we met one issue when we tried to connect to oracle as sysdba role using Thin driver, and it throws java.sql.SQLException: Io Exception: SO Exception was generated, I have found some tips on oracle jdbc website and it says :
    How do I connect as SYSDBA or SYSOPER?
    The only way to do this is to use the Properties object when connecting, rather than specifying the username and password as strings. Put the username into the "user" property, and the password into the "password" property. Then, put the mode into the "internal_logon" property. Something like the following:
    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.put("user", "scott");
    props.put("password", "tiger");
    props.put("internal_logon", "sysoper");
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection (url, props);
    When connecting as SYSDBA or SYSOPER using the Thin driver, the RDBMS must be configured to use a password file. See "Creating and Maintaining a Password File" in the "Oracle Database Administrator's Guide".
    So, i did execute orapwd command to create a password file and also set remote_login_passwordfile=execlusive in my initxxx.ora initial parameter file, however, when i tried to connect, it failed.
    private static void createEmsdbDatabase(){
    String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:";
    StringBuffer sqlStatement = new StringBuffer();
    sqlStatement.append("create database xxx");
    sqlStatement.append("maxdatafiles 254 ");
    sqlStatement.append("maxinstances 8 ");
    sqlStatement.append("maxlogfiles 32 ");
    sqlStatement.append("character set UTF8 ");
    sqlStatement.append("national character set UTF8 ");
    sqlStatement.append("DATAFILE 'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\system01.dbf' SIZE 18M REUSE ");
    sqlStatement.append("logfile 'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo01.log' SIZE 2M REUSE, ");
    sqlStatement.append("'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo02.log' SIZE 2M REUSE, ");
    sqlStatement.append("'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo03.log' SIZE 2M REUSE ");
    try {
    DriverManager.registerDriver(new OracleDriver());
    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.put("user", "sys");
    props.put("password", "password");
    props.put("database","xxx");
    props.put("internal_logon", "sysdba");
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, props);
    Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
    statement.executeUpdate(sqlStatement.toString());
    statement.close();
    conn.close();
    } catch (SQLException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    But what made me puzzled a lot is if i use OCI driver, it did work great, why??? guys, anybody knows, please give me some tips, thanks in advance.
    regards,
    Kaixuan @ Shanghai

    clarify my question in detail:
    Step 1 : create password file using orapwd command
    Step 2 : create database instance using oradim command
    Step 3 : login using sys as sysdba to startup database, e.g startup nomount pfile='...\initxxx.ora'
    Step 4 : create database.
    java code showing below:
    private static void createEmsdbDatabase(){
    String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:";
    StringBuffer sqlStatement = new StringBuffer();
    sqlStatement.append("create database xxx ");
    sqlStatement.append("maxdatafiles 254 ");
    sqlStatement.append("maxinstances 8 ");
    sqlStatement.append("maxlogfiles 32 ");
    sqlStatement.append("character set UTF8 ");
    sqlStatement.append("national character set UTF8 ");
    sqlStatement.append("DATAFILE 'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\system01.dbf' SIZE 18M REUSE ");
    sqlStatement.append("logfile 'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo01.log' SIZE 2M REUSE, ");
    sqlStatement.append("'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo02.log' SIZE 2M REUSE, ");
    sqlStatement.append("'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo03.log' SIZE 2M REUSE ");
    try {
    DriverManager.registerDriver(new OracleDriver());
    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.put("user", "sys");
    props.put("password", "password");
    props.put("database","xxx");
    props.put("internal_logon", "sysdba");
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, props);
    Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
    statement.executeUpdate(sqlStatement.toString());
    statement.close();
    conn.close();
    } catch (SQLException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    issue was met here, when i tried to login as sysdba using sys, and in my java code, i use Thin driver, it then thrus exception, but when OCI driver is used, it works great, i don't know why.
    that is, when i use "jdbc:oracle:oci8:@" as database URL and then properties.put("database","xxx"), it works great. but, when i use "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:" as database URL and then properties.put("database","xxx"), it failed. hopefully, i have clarified my question clearly. thanks.

  • Wiki or Robohelp - What are the benefits of using a wiki vs publishing projects in robohelp?

    What are the benefits of using a wiki vs publishing projects in robohelp? I currently use RH9/RH9 Server and  publish multiple SSL.  The company is looking to stop using Robohelp and replace our online help authoring tool  (RH) with a wiki. Are there any benefits of going to a wiki environment.  What RH features/functions that I have today will i not have by having IT import our robohelp files into a wiki?
    I know that a wiki is not an authoring tool, but someone must think it is and we'll still have all the functionality of publishing multiple SSLs, reports, etc once in the wiki environment.  Any comments - is this the best route?

    Hi,
    There are many differences. The idea of a wiki is to allow anyone to view and/or edit the content. Depending on the wiki system, you can set access control for viewing and editing.
    Wiki's typically have simple syntax (html in a wiki is a serious security risk), allow image embedding, links and attachments. You will need to learn the specific syntax (rather easy, but also very limited).
    What will you lose? This depends on the features available in the wiki system as well as the available plugins. A few downsides:
    - WYSIWYG editor limited, if at all.
    - No snippets
    - No variables
    - Dropdowns (may be possible through plugins)
    - Index
    - Styling based on css classes (mostly supported through HTML which is a security concern)
    - Only one version of your support system: multiple versions require multiple installations/configurations.
    - No searching in attachments.
    - No CBT (Though some wiki's allow comments in the wiki code)
    - No Word/FrameMaker import.
    - You have to create your own CSH calls.
    On the upside:
    - Most wiki systems are free, even for commercial use.
    - The syntax is quite simple, allowing you to quickly write text.
    - Wiki's typically offer good support for syntax highlighting.
    - They are very easy to set up.
    - Most wiki's have plugins to enable comments.
    The greatest downside in my opinion is that you always have the latest version of all files. Whenever you update a page, everyone immediately has the latest version. And if you want to create help for a feature that isn't released yet, you will have to use access control to make sure not everyone sees the (unfinished) help for the unreleased feature. With RoboHelp you have a single source that creates a one way output.
    We use both RoboHelp and wiki's: RoboHelp for customer help and wiki internally to share knowledge. And sharing knowledge is what wiki's are designed for.

  • My iPhone was stolen and I have contacted the police who are using the meid number to locate.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?

    My iPhone was stolen.  I used Find My iPhone app to lock it and display a message.  The phone has not connected to the internet to locate it.  I contacted the police and they have taken my meid number.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?  Are there other ways the theif can use it.  I was told once they put in a new sim card and use it, whatever software the police have, it will show up.

    Honestly? In the US (I can't speak to other countries, though I doubt it works much differently in a lot of the world) The police took your report and filed it either in their computers or, on paper. They will now not think of this again. The only time it will cross anyones mind is if, in the course of entering information into evidence about items recovered or seized at a crime scene, the serial number of an iPhone that was found/seized happens to match yours, in which case you will be contacted.
    The police in the US can and will do nothing to 'blok' the phone and it's not worth their time to try and locate it unless you know for a fact that it was stolen by a big time drug lord, master criminal, or some other such prime target and they can get a court order to track the location of the phone in order to locate this individual for your own purposes.  If they do that, they'll probably keep him under surveilance for a year or so before they act.
    Basically, the police don't care about your phone. If they find it, they will give it back to you. They are not, however, going to go looking for it. They have better things to do.
    I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.

  • I just purchased an extreme.  I have an express.  The sales guy recommended setting up a hot spot with the express and use the extreme as a base station.  What does he mean and how do I do this?  What are the advantages?

    I just purchased an extreme.  I have an express.  The sales guy recommended setting up a hot spot with the express and use the extreme as a base station.  What does he mean and how do I do this?  What are the advantages?  How do I set this up?????

    I think he means to set up the main extreme as the main router or "main base station", and then use the express to "extend" the network.
    You can look up the manual for your express here for more details:
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/
    Extend the range of your network by adding AirPort Express to your existing AirPortExtreme or AirPort Express wireless network (this is called a Wireless DistributionSystem, or WDS). "
    Extending the Range of an Existing AirPort Extreme or
    AirPort Express Network
    You can extend the range of an existing AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express wirelessnetwork by setting it up in a WDS. Wireless computers can connect to the network andshare the Internet connection, share files, and play network games. If you connect yourAirPort Express to your home stereo, computers on your wireless network can useAirTunes to play music on the stereo from iTunes. If you connect a USB printer to yourAirPort Express, all of the computers on the network can print to it.
    n Open the AirPort Setup Assistant on a Macintosh, or the AirPort Express Assistant on acomputer using Windows XP. Follow the onscreen instructions to extend the range ofyour AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express network.
    Note: Extending the range of a network using WDS may reduce overall networkperformance.

    I recently created a new apple ID
    Bad idea.
    Content bought with an Apple ID is forever associated with that Apple ID. Apple will not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple will not merge Apple IDs. Unless you are prepared to forfeit all the previously purchased content and buy it all again with the new Apple ID, you will need to maintain the old ID to update and redownload your content.

But from point of view of reporting, when you run the advance tax report, will there be any change after doing this posting to tax payable account?

    Basic communication aside, J2EE is mostly a synchronous run-time environment. When asynchrony is introduced, a whole new set of infrastructure requirements is needed to support QoS and commercial-quality implementations. In other words, it's not just about API anymore, it's about reliable communication, exception handling, time outs, etc. You may want to look at this Q&A to see some of the benefits provided by J2EE as underlying run-time for orchestration:

    Which iBook do you have?

    Which version of the OS is installed, and which version are you trying to install?
    You could try starting up with Startup Manager and see if it will allow you to select the OS X install disc as the startup disk. If so, maybe you can proceed from there. I would recommend repairing the hard drive first since you are evidently having a bit of a problem with it.
