What is so good about Oracle Database?

Dear Sir,
The project that I'm working on is using Oracle database. Therefore, I don't have not much experience in other rdbms.
Sometime my customer ask, what is so good about oracle compare to others like ms sql server, sybase, informix, mysql and so on.
So, hope someone can give some distinctive strength about Oracle database. This is important for me as well as customer so that we can understand that why using Oracle database is the right choice.
Please advise.
Thanks.

i use napster to discover new music. if i really like it, i track down the CD. 28k wma's or mp3s or whatever sound pretty bad. you're not right about them sounding like cassettes. i think you are forgetting just how bad cassettes sound. most 28k's i've heard sound better then cassettes, but paying $9.99 for 28k tracks....NO WAY. $3 for 28ks? sure the upside of 28ks over cassettes tho is the fact that you can transfer the files around from player to player and mp3s dont get stretched out in the sun :smileyvery-happy:

Difference between upgrdae and migration about oracle database

Difference between upgrdae and migration about oracle database
please give the comments

Well, the question is almost philosophic... 
In 9i, there is a Migration Guide whereas in 10g there is a Upgrade Guide. 
Furthermore, in 9i, there is the command line startup migrate whereas in 10g that's startup upgrade.
Somebody think upgrade when go to new release, and migration when go to new version. 
Others think upgrade when new version replace database in place, and migration when new version include a move of database. 
Another point of view is : upgrade is for technical, and migration for application/data. 
 
Well, after these explanations, your upgrade/migratation notion will not be more clear, but I think that is not very important, only a terminology game. The most important is to know what you need : new version or new release.

What is maximum length of oracle database objects name

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me what is maximum length of oracle database objects name .
I guess it is 30 ,correct me if i am wrong thank you.
regards,
P Prakash

Some objects (like synonyms or java classes) can have longer names than 30 chars:
SQL> create or replace synonym empempempempempempempempempempempempemp for emp
Synonym created.though internally oracle will generate short names for such objects:
SQL> select synonym_name from user_synonyms where synonym_name like '%EMPEMPEM%'
SYNONYM_NAME
/969ea190_EMPEMPEMPEMPEMPEMPEM
1 row selected.and not always will the long name be actually usable:
SQL> select * from empempempempempempempempempempempempemp
Error at line 1
ORA-00972: identifier is too long

What's wrong with my Oracle Database Installation?

Hi,
I'm trying to install Oracle Database 11gR2 on a newly-created Oracle Linux 5.7 64-bit system. There's 25GB of available harddrive space and about 1700MB free RAM.
I followed everything in this guide:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR2InstallationOnEnterpriseLinux5.php
To begin my installation, I log into user "oracle" and do the following:
     1) Unzip linux.x64_11gR2_database_1of2.zip and linux.x64_11gR2_database_2of2.zip to create the directory /home/oracle/database
     2) Set up my response file (a copy can be found at http://x.petio.org/2011/11/30/db.rsp)
     3) Run the installer:
          /home/oracle/database/runInstaller –silent –responseFile /path/to/db.rsp
The result is:
[FATAL] [INS-32038] The operating system group specified for central inventory (oraInventory) ownership is invalid.
CAUSE: User performing installation is not a member of the operating system group specified for central inventory(oraInventory) ownership.
ACTION: Specify an operating system group that the installing user is a member of. All the members of this operating system group will have write permission to the central inventory directory (oraInventory).
Could someone please tell me what this error means, and what I'm doing wrong? The group for oraInventory is "oinstall" and user "oracle" (the user doing the installation) is certainly a member of that group. When I run "id" I get the following: "uid=502(oracle) gid=505(oinstall) groups=503(dba),504(asmadmin),505(oinstall),506(oper)"
Here's the log files:
     http://x.petio.org/2011/11/30/installActions2011-11-30_09-19-27AM.log

Hi;
Nevermind I figured it out. My UNIX_GROUP_NAME was set to "oracle" and should have been "oinstall".Nice to hear ;) Thanks for sharing soluiton,if it possible when u belive your thread has been answered, it pretend to lose time of other forums user while they are searching open question which is not answered,thanks for understanding

Question about Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL

Hello,
I've read that:
This course is a combination of Oracle Database 11g: PL/SQL Fundamentals and Oracle Database 11g: Develop PL/SQL Program Units courses.
In order to preparing for this exam, i should read the student guide, so there are 4 pdf files. One is Oracle Database 11g: PL/SQL Fundamentals, and the other 3 are regarding to Oracle Database 11g: Develop PL/SQL Program Units (volume I, II and III). My question is, regarding to this last one (Oracle Database 11g: Develop PL/SQL Program Units), which volume should i read? I saw that volume I has 400+ pages, and the IIIrd ~80.
Which document should i read? What's the difference between them?
Thanks!

Passing the exam and becoming certified are not a matter of simply reading a book or taking a training class. While books and classroom materials as well as in-class training are all important steps in preparing for an exam, experience and research are just as important. I cannot tell you that there are 53 questions on the exam and every single question maps directly back to page 13, paragraph 3 in XX book. However, If you have the classroom material, and you have the list of exam topics, you should be able to find most of the information you need. In some cases, if you are not completely familiar with a specific topic, or you don't feel like the information in the book gives you all the information you need, you may need to do a little additional research. This is all part of preparing for an exam. This process is what makes you successful as a certified professional.
Your focus seems to be solely on the course materials that you have and what volumes and chapters you should read. I'm trying to give you a different perspective - preparing for an exam is not necessarily about taking one course or reading one book and being ready. You need to review the exam topics and be sure that you are familiar with each topic.

What's so good about Final Cut Pro?

Hi everyone, I am totally new to Macs, switching over from the PC. And so far, I have to say that I honestly enjoy the Macs a lot more than the PC's. With that being said, my wife's friend was telling us that we should invest in Adobe Photoshop and Final Cut Pro. The problem is we know nothing about the two programs other than photoshop is obviously working with photos and final Cut has something to do with movies.
So can someone please tell us whats so good about these two programs. And if we were to buy them, is there some sites that offer good tutorials to learn how to operate each of them?

A quick tour of Final Cut Pro can be found here:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/finalcutpro/
and Final Cut Express here:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/tutorials/
There are paid tutorials found at Lynda.com. And a smattering found ALL OVER THE PLACE...some on the Creative Cow:
http://library.creativecow.net/tutorials/applefinalcutpro
But those are advanced ones for people already familiar with FCP. The ones on Lynda.com are for beginners through experts. And there are books:

And a REALLY good one:

What is so good about those legal sit

Being the audiophile I am (Not to mention a producer), what the heck is so good about the legal sites?
I mean, there is a nice selection, but 28 freakin' wma bitrate?! It's like paying $9.99 for a new cassette!
What the hell is up with this? Why buy crappy quality?
I'll agree that Npaster to go is good, but once again, you're paying for an unlimited supply of cassettes :-\Message Edited by Jason-CL on 08-02-2005 04: PM

What's So Good About NLSBS 9?

As a small business owner, I'd like to explore Linux because it's cheaper
and (I perceive) more reliable than Microsoft solutions, but I'm
struggling to understand the Linux solutions Novell provides. In a typical
small office environment, the network should provide reliable email,
calendaring, shared and private directories, network printing, Internet
access, firewall protection, and some level of external and internal Web
server publishing. Since we have no dedicated sys admin, administration
should be pretty easy.
I can get all these things with MS, but would NLSBS 9 be a good option for
providing the services listed above for a small network of 8
employees/workstations and two servers? Why?

see discussion just above this one
The netware version can definately do what you want. Do you intend to
run just one server or can you afford to run 2 or 3?
I'd suggest you run all the major SBS features on the main netware sbs
server, then use sles9 to run any linux apps you may need to run.
Why choose novell instead of microsoft? That's easy - RELIABLE!!!
Microsoft is famous for being UNRELIABLE.
Please mark my words. After a few years, most (I'm being nice, in my 14
year experience it's been every server) microsoft windows servers slowly
get corrupt due to a few reasons. Heavy disk fragmentation, crazy
patches that fix some things but break a lot of other things, and of
course - viruses! This is not the case with unix or novell servers
(novell now includes linux).
Unix and Novell servers are just about the most reliable servers you're
going to find. windows has gotten much better than before (I have to
give them credit, win2k3 is MUCH better than winNT). However, windows
is still not as reliable as unix or novell.
A very common practice in corporate data centers is to run anything very
important on unix/novell - whatever is left that's not too important can
run on windows. It's been this way for years - I for one think this is
a very wise approach.

What's so good about an iPod?

I have never held either a 2nd gen Nano nor 5th gen iPod nor any iPod gen.
Obvious differences aside, I'm wondering why a user with both, other than gaming and video, would use one over the other? I seek purchase guidance.
(I would ask the same contrasting questions if anyone has a PSP & iPod?
Are there menu differences?
Is one easier to navigate to a song?
Do both have the ability to remember last point played or memorize that point for each song as does iTunes 7.
Speed of access of a song when unit is completely loaded, (no space left)?
When first turned on how long before you have a song playing?
Nano uses less battery power and recharges faster - true? has that ever been a factor as to which one you picked up?
Especially there is the issue of longevity.
Some say a flash should be fairly indestructible but the Hard Drive in the 5th generation will definitely go in time - sooner than a flash memory?
Reading discussions, it seems I'm reading much more new unit little and big failures on the 5th then the Nano. TRUE?
I believe I am also reading more formating issues with 5th gen. Can I use it on both mac and pc (like a flash card or ext. HD) without reformatting?
Besides watching a video or playing a game, what can you do with a 5th gen that you cannot with a Nano and vice verse?
Can you listen to mp3 and game simultaneously?
How good is the gaming? Better to get a Nintendo or PSP no?
How good is video viewing on 2.5" What about while riding in the passenger seat of a car during daylight etc? I assume it is better in darker environments. Any complaints or mostly praise? Would you purchase 5th gen again just because of the Video?
Is there a past discussion or url with user comments comparing and contrasting the differences between using a 2nd gen Nano and a 5th gen 30gb or 80 gb?

I have never held either a 2nd gen Nano nor 5th gen
iPod nor any iPod gen.
Obvious differences aside, I'm wondering why a user
with both, other than gaming and video, would use one
over the other? I seek purchase guidance.
(I would ask the same contrasting questions if anyone
has a PSP & iPod?
Are there menu differences?
Menus are the same, but Video iPod has "Videos" and "Games" menus
Is one easier to navigate to a song?
Nano has a smaller wheel, so maybe a little harder for someone with large fingers (like mine)
Do both have the ability to remember last point
played or memorize that point for each song as does
iTunes 7.
Yes. If you pause it, and it turns off, when you push play again, it comes right back to that point. When you pause it and change menu veiws, you will have to start the song over, or remember where you were.
Speed of access of a song when unit is completely
loaded, (no space left)?
Depends on what song. Menus scroll alphabetically, or by their playlist order, or album position.
When first turned on how long before you have a song
playing?
Again, depends on where you're playing a song from. If you turn it on and scroll down to "Shuffle Songs", it will start playing in a matter of seconds.
Nano uses less battery power and recharges faster -
true? has that ever been a factor as to which one you
picked up?
Nano battery lasts longer, recharge in about 3 hrs, give or take
Especially there is the issue of longevity.
Some say a flash should be fairly indestructible but
the Hard Drive in the 5th generation will definitely
go in time - sooner than a flash memory?
Depends on usage, abuse, etc.
Reading discussions, it seems I'm reading much more
new unit little and big failures on the 5th then the
Nano. TRUE?
New search options, brightness/volume level controls, gaming capability.
I believe I am also reading more formating issues
with 5th gen. Can I use it on both mac and pc (like a
flash card or ext. HD) without reformatting?
Mac or PC. Once it's formatted for Mac, its Mac for life. A PC formatted iPod can be recognized and used by Mac
Besides watching a video or playing a game, what can
you do with a 5th gen that you cannot with a Nano and
vice verse?
Video has bigger HD capacity. Nano has longer battery life.
Can you listen to mp3 and game simultaneously?
Yes
How good is the gaming? Better to get a Nintendo or
PSP no?
Graphics wise, PSP is better, also more games for PSP. iPod games are simple and just good for quick entertainment.
How good is video viewing on 2.5" What about while
riding in the passenger seat of a car during daylight
etc? I assume it is better in darker environments.
Any complaints or mostly praise? Would you purchase
5th gen again just because of the Video?
Video veiwing is decent, but on a small screen, your eyes can get sore after a while. In bright sunlight it is difficult to see, but not impossible. Best veiwed in room light, or in dark with brightness control adjusted to your preference.
Is there a past discussion or url with user comments
comparing and contrasting the differences between
using a 2nd gen Nano and a 5th gen 30gb or 80 gb?
You could search the forum for comparison threads.
HTH:)

What's so good about the Venture?

Can someone help me to understand this? Lately around here I've been hearing a lot of talk about people applying for or wanting the Venture. I'm just now starting to do my research and it's going to take me several days to get through all the recent threads. I'm going to read all of them but I may get antsy and apply for something before then. I understand that your venture miles can be redeemed for statement credits on travel. You get 2x miles on all purchases. But wouldn't 2% from Citi DC or Fidelity Amex be the same thing but way better? Even if you travel all the time, having the option to spend your points elsewhere can't be a bad thing right? Plus the Venture has an AF. So from where I'm sitting, the Venture looks way worse than Citi DC or Fido Amex even if you travel. What am I missing here?
The signup bonus makes it worth the triple pull just barely, so I may apply if I can think of a good reason. Convince me to apply for this card! I don't care about a high limit on a card that won't be my main spender and has a high APR... I have 0% util so padding limits isn't useful to me. Is that the only reason people are going nuts over this card?

Is that the only reason people are going nuts over this card? Historically this forum goes all starry-eyed when creditors start handing out outsized limits. To be brutally honest, my Venture app - I don't care about the bonus, I do care about the limit not on that card, but when I go apply for a couple of cards I do care about (non-trivial lines on balance carrying cards just in case I need them to float in times of financial stress rather than just filing a BK and being done with it, even 3 months either way is enough time for me to get something to start paying down my debt). Beyond that don't need it, sitting on a CSP pre-approval which will be my long-term travel card, and I have a Fidelity Amex already though I wouldn't mind a CLI on that someday and for acceptance and online transaction fee reasons I'd rather have a Citi DC, but end of the day we've seen far too often that current limits beget future limits, and my limits are incredibly low compared to most people on this forum but now it's time to do something about that as I get close to credit card portfolio completion. I don't need 200K limits, I do need more than the 34K I'm on now and I do need lower APR's than what I have access to now for financial defense reasons. Venture is part of the two step process to that for me, nothing more.My thought pattern exactly.

What's so good about tile maps?

I've been testing a 2d platform game I'm working on (for a bit of a laugh), and I was about to start working of some sort of tile map system for the scrolling backgrounds, and I though 'what the hey, rather than use a tile map I could just draw the whole level as one big gif', or maybe break it down to 5/8 images or something.
Fullscreen bufferStrategy can easily handle all the unnecessary off-screen drawings and I'm not relying on image data for collisions as all collisions are done with bounding boxes (I'll eventually only be testing the onscreen bounding boxes, so there's a small saving :)
I done a test with the player checking for 2000 (way OTT) collisions per game loop, and drawing 2 huge scrolling images (one a transparent gif the other solid, and it didn't drop a frame). Also this way there are no restrictions to the detail I can put in the background and anyone will easily be able to draw there own image and load it into the editor (when its finished) and click in a few platforms/badguys and stuff very easily.
The background image size will probably end up about 233k per level. The screen rez will be 320/240 for that chunky pixel look.
Am I being lazy :)

John Carmack once described tile-based systems as, essentially, a really poor compression scheme.
Compression aside, there is value in tile-based systems.
You can create many, many maps (and let your users make their own) with little trouble with a map editor and a tile set. The reason Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate II, Icewind Dale and Icewind Dale II were so painful to make for the artists was that each map had to be hand drawn - all of it. Neverwinter Nights uses 3D tilesets, resulting in easy development, even for unskilled (in terms of art) hobbyists.

What Gartner is saying about Oracle Forms

An interesting post here:
https://blogs.oracle.com/grantronald/entry/gartner_report_on_oracle_forms

Could they be more vague? :-) The trouble with the industry now is its fragmenting terribly.
"Migrate next-generation development projects to industry-dominant technologies (for example, Java, Microsoft .NET and open-source software) to align with industry best practices in the future."
I was surprised to hear it is a widespread opinion that dot net is on its way out and MS is allegedly moving towards
c++ . Must we always be going from one on its way out thing to another? Both java and dot net are very aged. So that leaves "open-source software"? I don't think they have much credibility with that level of vagueness.
I'm thinking javascript is up and coming. That's about the only clear leader technology I see.

What is Oracle database current Java version

How do tell what version of Java my Oracle database is using.
I check select * from dba_registery, but no luck; I know the latest java version is 1.6.

create or replace procedure java_props
as language java name 'props.show_props()';
show errors
connect / as sysdba
exec dbms_java.grant_permission( 'SCOTT','java.util.PropertyPermission','*','read,write');
commit;
