what are those commands,why UNIX ie preferable than windows environment.Unix isn't used in PL/SQL. PL/SQL is a language in it's own right and Unix is the operating system that Oracle can run on.
Oracle will run quite happily on both Windows and Unix environments (as well as some other *nix specific versions e.g. linux etc.).  Unix is often preferred by people for a server environment as it has a history of being a more stable operating system, but there are plenty who use Windows as a server environment too (we ourselves have both windows and unix servers).
There are advantages and disadvantages to both. e.g. it is more easy to treat an MS Excel spreadsheet as an external database using an Excel ODBC driver and Oracle Hetereogeneous services if you are using a windows server, whereas on Unix you generally have to purchase a special ODBC driver to cope with Excel files, but likewise Unix has some benefits over Windows aside from the reliability factor.

  • What are the advanteges and disadvanteges of using pl/sql over hibernate

    i knwo that pl/sql are well structure and provide a lot of functionalities with oracle databse , but my question is the hibernate might give some advnateges of scalability over pl/sql.
    so what are the advanteges and disadvanteges of using pl/sql over hibernate?
    and does oracle recommend using hibernate for connecting JSP with oracle 11i , or it is better to connect the JSP pages with oracle databse using pl/sql ?

    but if i search for the diferencess then there are a lot of opinions about this ..., specially when they say that with hibernate you can integrate with any DB , and it provides object printed architecture, etc.All databases are not equal. This is a basic and fundamental fact. SQL-Server is not Oracle. Oracle is not SQL-Server. As it is the case with Sybase, Ingres, DB2 and other database products. They are all different. And there are some very core differences between them.
    So how would a product like Hibernate treat these database products with their differences? By using the lowest common denominator. Which means your expensive database product is dumbed down - and even MS Access will likely have better and more features.
    You also need to decide what is the "permanent" part in your architecture. What is going to the core? What is the expensive part? The app server (with Hibernate)? Or the database server?
    What are you likely to change next year? The app server server? Or the database server?
    In the vast majority of cases, the core is the database server. That is your biggest expense and investment. As it should be - as it holds that which is most precious to business, data. You want to ensure the integrity of that data. The accuracy of that data. Make sure that it can be easily backed up and recovered. Is flexible to use. Etc. Etc.
    The database server is the core - and that is where you need to realise your return on investment. By using the database server to its full extent.
    Hibernate does not do that. And in that respect, it is junk.
    Why does it not do that? Because many Java developers are totally and fully clueless about what database servers are and how to use them. And want to use them as little plug-in black boxes - bit buckets that are only there to provide a data persistence layer. Instead of using the database server to its full extent, they instead use Hibernate, and try to do their own "+database thing+" in the app layer - and do it poorly and with utter lack of any scalability. (and no, only ignorant Java heads think that scalability means throwing more money and h/w at it)
    My largest database processes billions of rows per day, every day, 356 days a year (between 350 to 450 million new inserts into a single table per day). And have been for several years now. It does so using PL/SQL. Using Oracle to its full extent. Then there are Java heads that cannot even design and code an app that effectively process 1% of this volume... and grasp at straws like Hibernate and other Java cr@p to "fix" this - when the actual problem is their total lack of ignorance in how to use and scale the database server.
    Hibernate is trash - and a symptom of Java developers's ignorance of database technology.

  • What are the different commands in bdc.

    The different commands i mean is

    Hi Avinash,
    chk out the function codes.
    Batch
    The following commands can be entered in correction mode ('Process in foreground' or 'Display errors only') when processing a batch input session:
    /n This terminates the current batch input transaction and characterizes it as
    /bdel This deletes the current batch input transaction.
    /bend This terminates batch input processing and sets the session to Failed
    /bda This switches from Display errors only to Process in foreground
    /bde This switches from Process in foreground to Display errors only

  • What are the terminal commands to list all plugins, extensions, etc?

    I remember a while ago reading a thread on diagnosing kernel panics and such, where someone listed a number of commands (I think there were four separate terminal commands) which produced lists of plugins, daemons, background enhancers, extensions etc which could sap resources or drive up temperature without necessarily showing up in activity monitor or anything like that.
    Anyone know what these commands are? I'm having some serious overheating problems at the moment when doing nothing but for instance watching a youtube video with no other processes running so I'd like to get these dumps and see if there's anything installed which could be causing trouble.

  • What are the keyboard commands to control Front Row

    I'm new to Front Row and running it on a 17" G4 PC. Since it isn't remote-control compatible how can I navigate and operate Front Row with just the keyboard. I need to know what key strokes to use to do stuff.

    Command+esc key turns ON Front Row
    The up and down arrow keys let you choose the selection
    The Enter key allows you to enter that selection.
    Volume when playing music is the up or down arrow keys.
    Command+esc key will back you out of any window and all the way back to the computer if you keep hitting those keys.

  • What is the Unix command to concatenate two files and merget it in to one ?

    Hi Experts,
    I have three jobs and each job creates a file. I want to run one more job which clubs these three files and merges it in to one.
    I know the process of opening each file and appending it in to the target file using DATASET concept.
    Instead of that, I want any UNIX Shell command so that I can call that directly from ABAP and execute it
    Any help on this would be highly appreciated
    Thanks in advance.
    Babu Kilari

    Hello Babu,
    We can very well call an OS command from within ABAP, but in your case, I don't think that is really required. Please find below a logic that might be helpful to you.
    You have three files, whose contents needs to be merged into a single file.
    Read the contents of each file and store it into an internal table.
    DATA: command LIKE rs37a-line.
    DATA: BEGIN OF tabl OCCURS 0,
              line(2000),
          END OF tabl.
    command = 'cat /tmp/file1.txt'.
    CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD command
                  ID 'TAB'     FIELD tabl-*sys*.
    Internal table 'tabl' will contain the contents of the file.
    Accumulate all the contents into a single file and upload to the application server using OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER DATASET and CLOSE DATASET.
    Let me know if you need a more detailed explanation.
    Regards
    Sabu.

  • What are the keyboard commands for these bodycopy adjustments?

    Hi,
    I've been through my CS3 manual (and all over my keyboard) - trying to understand how to add leading to my paragraphs. I've done it before - which is why this is so maddening. Also how do I create a "circle C" off the baseline?
    Thank you in advance.
    hab

    A circle C?  First if you don't know what the symbol is you probably shouldn't be using it.  I think you are referring to a Copyright symbol which Wikipedia has a long definition for ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright ).  A Copyright symbol can be inserted using the Insert Toolbar -> Text tab and clicking the Drop-Down arrow at the end which will give you the © or similar HTML code depending on the charset of the page.
    The next think you need is the CSS for text-indent.  Adding the text-indent CSS to the class/id of your text will allow you to indent the first line of your paragraph:

  • What is the Unix command line command to reformat the internal 3 tera fusion drive in my 5k retina 27 iMac ?

    there seems to be problems with Yosemite and boot camp assistant
    i'm cross posting this to the iMac forum but I spent hours online with apple tech today and none of the several foks I talked to there had even seen a 5k 27" yet and my call back from Cupertino and engineering is no till tomorrow so I thought I should post here too
    MMy bto 5k shipped from China sunday night and arrived in Maine this morning.... Amazing when you think about it for a bto
    iinstallation and set up we're going fine and I started up boot camp assistant to create  a temp boot camp while I wait for my thunder bay 4 box to take the drives for my old Mac pro when boot camp will have a1 tera SSD all to itself....
    so carved off a 700 gig boot camp partition which the assistant formatted fat I then plugged is the lighting to FW adapter in a LaCie 2 tera fw 800 drive to act as a bridge to my LaCie DVD burner which uses the old fw400 cables and inserted my new shrink wrap win 8.1 retail 64 DVD and up comes the win 8 install in very tiny type in a tiny window which got a bit of a laugh out of me.
    And I go through it to the point of selecting that boot camp partition and then said it could not use a fat partition and I should reformat it from the win 8.1 installer which I did and then it said it could not use and unknown partition so I said great and booted back to 10-10 and the boot camp tool to put things back and it said it could not I then went to disk tools and it also said the  3tera fusion could not be either reformatted or put back to a single partition I was on with tech support where I went up through 4 levels of support due to the 5k bto which most had no knowledge of. We tried the optioncommand r to get to DT and the same problem as did going to reinstall from the net which after a 30 min down load could not reformat either it is now kicked to Cupertino with a call back tomorrow
    ( At this point all I want to do is put the computer back in the condition it was in when i started with a plain Yosemite on an unpartitioned 3 tera fusion... Then deal with boot camp when it can have its own drive)
    am betting it will take a Unix comand line to reformat but be aware there may be boot camp issues with my configuration
    and  any help here will be great fully received

    Try booting into Internet recovery mode, ⌘⌥R, launch Disk Utility to erase the HD. If successful, reinstall the OS. If not, then return it (14 days with no questions asked) and get another machine. Apple sells it and they should know how to fix it.

  • What are the Basic Differences between Oracle and  MS-SQL server Database?

    Hello,
            anybody pls Guide me about the Differences between Oracle and MS-SQL server Database.and also IBM Databases also
    Regards,
    Balaram

    SQL Server only works on Windows-based platforms, including Windows 9x, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows CE.
    In comparison with SQL Server , OracleDatabase supports all known platforms, including Windows-based platforms, AIX-Based Systems, Compaq Tru64 UNIX, HP 9000 Series HP-UX, Linux Intel, Sun Solaris and so on.
    The SQL Server  advantages:
    SQL Server  holds the top TPC-C performance and price/performance results.
    SQL Server  is generally accepted as easier to install, use and manage.
    The Oracle  Database advantages:
    Oracle  Database supports all known platforms, not only the Windows-based platforms.
    PL/SQL is more powerful language than T-SQL.
    More fine-tuning to the configuration can be done via start-up parameters.

    regards

    Hi user;
    what are the common error while EBS R12 installation with os unix and windows.AFAIK there is no document which show common error.There are some common error for installation like:
    RW-5004- RW-50010 etc.
    For error we have to check instalaltion log files for can get more details about it
    oracle have any any check after installation all installation are correct according to no of directory, files and file size ?Oracle has 2 checking mechanisim during installation.
    1. Before start installation, rapidwiz makes Validate system Configuration check which is checking port avaliability,file system check etc.
    2. End of the installation,rapidwiz makes Validate system Configuration again to check jsp,dbc file, db avaliablity etc..

  • What are the commands available to read a file from application server and

    What are the commands available to read a file from application server and store the file into an internal table?

    Hi,
    To read a file from an Application Server to an Object there is a command in ABAP called <b>READ DATASET</b>. After that file is transported to that object you have to do a loop and put that data in an Internal Table.
    This statement exports data from the file specified in dset into the data object dobj. For dobj, variables with elementary data types and flat structures can be specified. In Unicode programs, dobj must be character-type if the file was opened as a text file.
    For dset, a character-type data object is expected - that is, an object that contains the platform-specific name of the file. The content is read from the file starting from the current file pointer. After the data transfer, the file pointer is positioned after the section that was read. Using the MAXIMUM LENGTH addition, the number of characters or bytes to be read from the file can be limited. Using ACTUAL LENGTH, the number of characters or bytes actually used can be determined.
    In a Unicode program, the file must be opened with an arbitrary access type; otherwise, an exception that cannot be handled will be triggered.
    If the file has not yet been opened in anon-Unicode program, it will be implicitly opened as a binary file for read access using the statement
    OPEN DATASET dset FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
    . If a non-existing file is accessed, an exception that can be handled can be triggered.
    Influence of Access Type
    Files can be read independently of the access type. Whether data can be read or not depends solely on the position of the file pointer. If the latter is at the end of the file or after the file, no data can be read and sy-subrc will be set to 4.
    Influence of the Storage Type
    The import function will take place irrespective of the storage type in which the file was opened with the statement OPEN DATASET.
    If the file was opened as a text file or as a legacy text file, the data is normally read from the current position of the file pointer to the next end-of-line marking, and the file pointer is positioned after the end-of-line marking. If the data object dobj is too short for the number of read characters, the superfluous characters and bytes are cut off. If it is longer, it will be filled with blanks to the right.
    If the file was opened as a binary file or as a legacy-binary file, as much data is read that fits into the data object dobj. If the data object dobj is longer than the number of exported characters, it is filled with hexadecimal 0 on the right.
    If the specified storage type makes conversion necessary, this is executed before the assignment to the data object dobj. Afterwards, the read data is placed, byte by byte, into the data object.
    System Fields
    sy-subrc Meaning
    0 Data was read without reaching end of file.
    4 Data was read and the end of the file was reached or there was an attempt to read after the end of the file.
    Thanks,
    Samantak.
