What is the future for an Oracle Development tools?

I mean, Oracle Developer looks like Cobol 10 years ago. It is a tool, but it is hardly to support and learn. Many of pepole prefere non-Oracle tools now.
Do Oracle plane to desupport Developer, switch to JDeveloper or license a something from a Borland one more?
It can be able to develop on C++ or PL/SQL (Serverlets), but Visual Rapid tool is preferable.

I think that the only problem with Forms
are some "basic" bugs that Oracle spends
too much time to fix them. Except this,
Forms is the best tool to develop ERP
applications (database intensive). It just
happend yesterday in our company. We recently
participated in a competition to develop a
sales system, with reports, images, technical
data, etc. The team from USA with VB and
SQL Server spent 18 months developing the
system and we with Forms and Oracle DB spent
, believe it or not, 1 month with more
functionality, specially in queries and
much faster to execute. I agree that with VB
for example, we can create wonderful GUI
screens but to do so, we spend more time,
the system will be larger, difficult to
maintain (because of more code) and many
times, not reliable. Besides I have never
seen a tool where we can run without any
change in client/server or WEB. We have
compared Forms in the last 6 years with
many other tools like VB, VC, Gembase,
Fabasoft, Obsydian, Progress, etc. None of
them could surpass Forms in performance,
development time and application
functionality (transaction, database,
query, data secuity, etc). Even GUI is not
far from these tools. Sometimes portability
is much more important than GUI richness.
We use Forms since we had VAX/VMS and
we could move from this to Windows 3.11,
Windows NT and now WEB without any big
headache. About the learning curve, we have
3 students that were able to learn and be
productive with Forms in 2 months. Compared
with our older systems developed with COBOL
we are now 2 to 10 times faster to develop
and maintain applications, with much less
bugs. All because of application standards,
less code, standardized screens, object
classes, libraries and stored procedures.
The last tool comparison was with Java but
again, the programming effort to achieve
only half of the functionality that
our Forms applications have, was huge. Not
to mention that this Java application
required 70Mb of memory to execute against
22Mb from WEB Forms (client/server only
12Mb). Besides WEB Forms was 5 times faster
to execute when, for example, navigating in
a tabular block.

What is the Future for MAEMO 5 Ahead ?

Hello Everyone, Greetings from India !!
I know for the fact that this forum is mostly for people who have already bought the N900 and who may have some technical queries about their product. But with the N900 just been launched in this part of the world, people here have just started to understand, explore and use it. So I am one person who is just about to, on the verge of buying the N900 but have some concerns...
Maybe this question would have been discussed here a lot of time, but since I am new to this community, I thought I will try to know this from you guys. With Meego already been announced as Nokia's new OS for Tablets and smart phones. What is the Future left for MAEMO 5. Will there be no future support, Firmware updates for MAEMO as Nokia now, has decided to Abandon MAEMO. Will there be any Upgrade in Version for MAEMO. If some one like me who has liked the N900 in its current state also, but is worried about the MAEMO 5 Future in terms of version upgrade and firmware update. when compared to Android, which keeps coming out with improvised versions...Ver 1.6, 2.1 and now 2.2 slated to release... How should one look at this entire thing..
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
I will be purchasing this handset next month too.
My opinion is that due to the fast moving technology of this market new handsets,o.s and software will always be round the corner.
To hold off to see whats round the corner would make you end up not getting anything new for fear of not getting the next new thing.
The beauty of the n900 is that it wide open for software etc with someone always out there providing newly written stuff.
My advice is to do your homework and read up on all the info , ends users views and if the fone/internet tablet still ticks all the boxes you need then buy it.
Just remember its an internet tablet with making calls technology added on so it wont have all the usual options you would get on a standard handset.
Perform a search on here and you will see lots of interesting threads what will answer most of your questions you could have with the n900.

Be happy !!

What is the future for the enterprise server line from Apple?

Hi.
I work at a company that is looking at several choices for our services. We've had a Xserve G5 for quite a while and we've been very pleased with it. Although it hasn't been a smooth ride, there haven't been any major issues that have blocked the evaluation.
However, now we are currently comming to an end of our evaluation period of different systems, and now we have to decide. The Xserve/MacOSX have it's advantages, but one issue that currently is a major questionmark is the future for the Apple enterprise line.
I'd really apreciate feedback regarding what you think will be the future for Apple's enterprise line, will it die slowly or get a new boost with the Intel switch, as I've read that Steve has stated time upon time that Apple is not an enterprise based business. Is it worth investing in Xserve/Xraid hardware or should one steer clear of Apple and choose other enterprise platforms such as Sun products based on Solaris for example.
Thx,
/Mysteron

Unfortunately, speculation pertaining Apple's future directions and unannounced products are forbidden here, as is discussion of their policies and procedures.
Also, it's hard to really give you a solid answer without knowing more about your particular situation.

What is the future for Forms/Reports

Hi, Everyone,
We have been using Forms/Reports as our
client/server applications for 3+ years.
recently I heard a lot of noises talking
about other Oracle tools: like Oracle Portal,
Oracle Jdeveloper, it seems Oracle has put more emphasis and resources on these new tools instead of the old and proven
Developer. My questions are:
1. Is Oracle Developer still important to Oracle ( i.e. Has Oracle put enough
resources for the new Developer version)?
2. Anybody heard anything about the next
version of Oracle Developer ( like Forms 7),
new features?
Thanks a lot
sean zhang

On the REPORTS "discussions board" a member of the Oracle Reports Team has mentioned recently that in the midd of 2001 there will be a new version of Reports called Reports 9i. If you have time you can find there this sentence.

What is the future for Vision subscribers ?

My apolgies if this question has been asked before , but ............
As i am not in an infinity enabled area , nor am likely to be in the next couple of years , what kind of future service can i expect from BT ?
As a vision subsriber do i miss out on new linear channels , sports channels , HD content and anything else that is planned ?
I believe that less than 50% of UK homes are in infinty enabled areas which means that BT are at best halving their potential customers !
Is vision set to be a glorified freeview box ?
Have i got it completely wrong ?

The plan is to get you Infnity. I live in large villages/small town of. Pop 6000 we got infinity in December. I thought we would never get it but I was wrong.

What is the APEX for?

Hello, everyone.
Here is a question - What is the APEX for? Can it be usable for production? For a pro?
I create an application, but I know nothing about HTML, javascript and other site-made-stuff. But my application is working pretty well. And it scares me. Can I put it in open-WEB? How about security? Strong to hackers? Does it safe enough?
Is anybody using APEX for a PRO? Only APEX, I mean.. Or it's only for home-fun-with-my-database?
Thanks for answers..

Hi there
Short & Sweet answers
A.What is the APEX for?
Oracle Application Express (Oracle APEX), formerly called HTML DB, is a rapid web application development tool for the Oracle database. Using only a web browser and limited programming experience, you can develop and deploy professional applications that are both fast and secure.
B.Can it be usable for production? For a pro?
Yes
C.I create an application, but I know nothing about HTML, javascript and other site-made-stuff.
You can learn ...steep learning curve initially...

What is the future of Oracle Discoverer?

I posted some of my thoughts on this one http://www.appsbi.com/2007/03/19/what-is-the-future-of-oracle-discoverer-freeware/
and thought who could be better to answer other than Discoverer users themselves. Do you think it makes sense to release Discoverer as a freeware tool or best as an Open source tool?

Hi Bob
You mustn't believe everything you hear from an Oracle sales person. The sales reps have a vested interest in making you believe that OBI SE, which includes Discoverer, will not be here because they earn a lot more commission if they can get you to use EE.
They are right though in that Oracle is developing a tool that will migrate the Discoverer metadata into the Siebel metadata but this is only aimed at making you upgrade to Siebel - which is about 4 to 5 times the cost of Discoverer by the way. Siebel won't be replacing Discoverer, it will be an alternative. A nice, sexy looking, powerful alternative, yet an alternative nevertheless.
Discoverer will still be here and you will then have a choice as to whether you stay with standard edition or migrate to enterprise edition. Now of course if you have plenty of money there is nothing stopping you from upgrading, but for most people that option is out of the question right now. Oracle would need to reduce the price for EE if it is to tempt most of the Discoverer organizations into EE. Heck, there are hundred of companies still using 3.1 never mind 10g Release 2. And how many folks who have 10.1.2 have upgraded to 10.1.2.2, even though its been out a few months now and fixes all those GUI issues that they have?
From what I know, Oracle never makes claims for a product more than 2 releases out and Discoverer certainly has 2 releases in the pipework. There's a release 10.1.2.3 due out in a couple of months and a major 11g release next year. After that it would have a support life of a minimum of 5 years, even if they stopped it after 11g, during which time anything can happen. As you know, 5 years in IT is an absolute age.
Your posting certainly makes for interesting reading though and I'm sure there will be plenty of commets. If you hear any other interesting snippets I'd love to hear.
Best wishes
Michael

Suggestions for the Oracle Developer Tools for VS2005

I'd like to start a thread for constructive feedback of the Beta version of these Oracle Developer Tools for VS2005.
First off, check the known issues here before posting:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/dotnet/odt10202rn.html
So, here are my issues:
- In the Oracle Explorer, when you right click on a large table and click "Retrieve Data..." it hangs the IDE until an apparent timeout value of 30 seconds, then shows a message box stating that "The query is taking a long time. Would you like to continue" ...waiting? I think the better approach here is to follow MS. In Menu Tools -> Options -> Database Tools -> DataConnections, there is a setting to limit SQL results to x number of rows. I think ODT should do one of the following. 1. Read this value and apply it. OR 2. Hardcode a value of 100 - 500 rows. 3. Add a setting similar to MS in the Options...
- In the Oracle Explorer, when you right-click on a view and click "Design..." the code for the view opens, but is not very readable because the line breaks are interpreted a little boxes. After dumping it into a hex editor, you can see the little box characters are Linefeeds (Char(10)). If these are all replaced with Carriage Return+Linefeed (Chr(13) + Char(10)), and pasted back into the editor in VS2005, it works perfectly. Note: My Oracle 9i Server is running on the Linux platform.
- I know this is a known issue, but this one's a biggie for me. Drag and drop is not supported from Oracle Explorer to the XML Schema Designer. Will Drag-and-Drop of tables generate TableAdapters as well with the Fill methods?
- Pre-existing Triggers don't seem to be visible in the Oracle Explorer.
Thanks,
-Tony

Hi
I am new to Oracle but not to VS. I have downloaded and installed the newest tools for Developer, having first tried the install for VS2003.net (which refused to install on my VS 2005.) I got the beta download and installed it, but my oracle explorer shows nothing. Any attempt to add a connection results in an error ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adaptor error. I had the full install of 10g r2 on my notebook, but removed it and opted for the XE version. I removed the Oracle_Home environment variable prior to installing XE. I am trying to connect to the HR database, and the account is unlocked. I saw a reference to the tnsfiles file, and that seems to be the problem, but I don't know what to do about it. Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer help.

What is the password for 'oracle' user created during XE installation?

Hi,
What is the password for 'oracle' user automatically created when XE is installed?
I installed XE on Linux and it's created under 'oracle' user, but I don't know 'oracle' password. So, I cannot stop TNS listener.
During configuration, it prompted me to enter SYS and SYSADMIN password but it didn't ask me to enter 'oracle' user password.
Please let me know or point me to the document.
Thanks,
N

Hi Jari,
I tried your suggestion, but it didn't work unfortunately.
When I type (sudo su -oracle) as follows, it still prompts the password. When I hit Enter key w/o anything, it seems to proceed and the prompt shows up in the following line. So, I thought it was successful, but when I checked 'whoami', it's not logged in as 'oracle'.
So, I created the password for 'oracle' and logged in as 'oracle' using a new password. Then, I stopped TNS listener to uninstall XE.
It would be nice if it's documented in XE document somewhere... since it's created by XE installation, I assumed some kind of default password was used.
Thanks,
N

What are best free tools for a Oracle development DBA?

Hi, I have been production dba for years. I am familiar with full cycle of database installation, configure,backup recovery, etc.
Now my role is going to change to development dba soon. I have no problem to create instances. Then to the data modeling, data normalization, etc, what kind of tools I can use?
Any good suggestions or documents you can provide?
Thanks in advance.

The only good tools for normalizing your database are you own intelligence, knowledge, and experience. A great place to feed your knowledge and borrow someone else's experience is in Ken Down's blog, The Database Programmer.
As for PL/SQL development tools, try SDDM's older sister, SQL Developer.

What is the Alternate for AMPERSAND (&) in oracle???????????

Hi All,
This is my query......
select * from
select 'abc' a from dual union
select 'def' a from dual union
select 'abc & xyz' a from dual
) where a='abc & xyz';
Output should be 'abc & xyz'.
Since I am using '&' it will prompt to enter some value from my keyboard.
Yes, I know, I will get the output either by using set scan off,set define off, set escape on.
what is the Alternate for AMPERSAND (&) in oracle???????????
The value 'abc & xyz' will be passed from the front end and will be passed to the select statement..........

Kashyap Varma NI think you are confused. Oracle (i.e. the DB) doesn't care about &. However front-ends like SQL*Plus do: and prompt you for the substitution (unless set define off etc.).
If you are using Java, then pass strings with & with no problem.

What is the future of windows embedded compact ?

as the architecture has changed totally on windows embedded phone 8, and there is windows 10 on ARM. so what is the future of this platform?

I don't believe Microsoft can let you know exactly. But it may be a good idea to move towards WPF for new applications developed as WPF has much greater capability, is more in line with above Windows 7 OS apps and even though more difficult to learn than
Windows.Forms is a move forward in developing UI's with much greater flexibility than Windows.Forms. Also nothing is being upgraded with regard to future development for Windows.Forms while apparently not the case with WPF (see bottom link).
Support for Windows Forms will end whenever Microsoft removes the capability from .Net Framework I suppose. As far as I know
Windows 10 supports Windows Forms applications because whatever .Net Framework comes installed on it supports Windows Forms applications.
Windows 7 support
Microsoft Support Lifecycle Policy FAQ
Microsoft Product Lifecycle Search - .Net Framework 4.5
.Net Framework 4.6 which downloads as 4.5.3 for some weird reason supports Windows Forms.

What is the roadmap for BI-IP product w.r.t BPC

is it true that BPC will replace or serve the same function as BI-IP?
IF SO,
what is the rationale for such quick product replacement and what is the future direction for this planning product IP?
not long ago there is BW3.5 . then came BI 7 recently and that comes with IP, and now BPC in such a short span of time?
please share your views.

Hi,
First of all I would like to recommend you the relvant forum for all topics related to CPM:
You might get your answers refering to BPC and/or CPM more quickly and more precise at this forum:
Expert Forums » Business Process Expert » Corporate Performance Management
I welcome you to have a look there.
I did a quick research there and I found some information which might be interesting for you. You can find more about this at the following blog:

Recommendations to existing customers
2007-07-10 20:35:28 Muthu Ranganathan Business Card Reply
As indicated earlier to another response in the blog, SAP would continue to support BPS,as per the existing maintenance arrangements. As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0, BI Integrated Planning (BI-IP) replaced BPS, so BPS is no longer being developed any further.Development plans for BI Integrated Planning will be unchanged by the OutlookSoft acquisition as BI-IP will continue to be SAPs long-term planning infrastructure.SAP Strategy Management is SAPs strategic nextgeneration
product in that category(scorcarding/strategy). However SAP would continue to support BSC as per the existing maintenance arrangements.
Some additional elements to each of the question:
1. Do we stop all new development in these products and start utilizing the new CPM product offerings right away?
If you already have implemented element of SEM, the maintenance allows you based on a SEM 6.0 (mySAP ERP 2005) to work on maintained product until 2013. Applications of the CPM suite are of course the recommended path for new customer, however, as each customer situation is different, I would recommend to use your local SAP contact to discuss these issues.
2. Do we continue new development in the old products and convert in the future (when the new CPM suite has stabilized and SAP has stopped further acquisitions)?
Each products of the CPM suite are now available in a stabilized and mature version, however the integration and Netweaver as a unified platform is not available. So it is more about integration than about stabilization. For more insight on the SAP roadmap again get in touch with your SAP contact.
3. Do we stop all new development in these products and use alternative SAP products like BI integreted planning, Visual composer etc. which are more mature than the new CPM products and are not scheduled for obsolesence like SEM and BPS? Then in the future we migrate to the new CPM suite when it is stabilized?
BI integrated Planning and Visual Composer are part of the technical infrastructure in Netweaver, whereas CPM elements are Application designed for performance management and with business user centric concepts. Again these products are fully matured and stabilized and the roadmap of the CPM group is to unify the technology platform and get the convergence of all Planning and Consolidation tools.
Thanks

So I hope I could help you at least a bit,

Connection Problem When Using Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio

I tried to create an Oracle Connection in my Visual Studio 2008 after installing Oracle 11g, Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) with Oracle Devleoper Tools for Vissual Studio version 11.1.0.6.20.
I followed the directions according to "Building .NET Applications Using Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio, when I click Test Connection, I keep getting the error message below.
Microsoft Visual Studio
ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred
OK
---------------------------

I solved the problem.
This is what I did for the benefit of the embryonic newbe like me.
On the Add Connection Dialog
1.     For Data source name I selected Local Database
2.     I clicked on the specific User Name and I typed SYSTEM
3.     For Password, I typed orcl (the password I setup during the installation) (HR did not work for me for User name and Password according to the tutorial instructions)
4.     For Role, I selected Default
5.     Connection Name, I selected Local Database
6.     Before proceeding any further went to Windows XP SP3 where I was operating from, under Start Menu, I selected Administrative Tools then Services
a.     On the Windows Services (Local) Dialog, under name, I selected OracleServiceORCL and OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener. I clicked on them one at a time
b.     On the presented Dialog, under Service Status, I Clicked on the Start Button to start the Services
c.     Then I went back to the Add Connection Dialog. I clicked on Test Connection, it connected okay. I finally clicked on Okay to connect.
