Where are files for my Oracle 10g DB kept?

Hi, I want to set up a connection from Visual Basic Express Edition 2008 to my Oracle DB.
Where are the Oracle DB files kept?
Also, will the connection work? I have the Oracle XE ODBC driver...

To start a new connection, you have to browse with explorer for a database "file". A typical one you're looking for would be an .mdf file. Thought it was a bit weird but that's how it works with this IDE. There doesn't seem to be a way to connect to a server, then open a database.
Sorry for the dumb question.You might find this helpful:

Where are files for my applications kept? I'm trying to do a clean install.

I have an intel imac OS 10.6.8. I have to do a clean install and need to transfer my files to a USB flashdrive because time machine hasn't backed up in 3 months. Where are files for my applications kept?

Since you mentioned Time Machine, I'm assuming you have an external hard drive? So why not make a complete backup - either with Time Machine or a bootable clone with CarbonCopyCloner or SuperSuper? Applications sometimes transfer well, but not always - it depends how many files/parts they have on the hard drive in different locations. There is no simple answer to your question because of that - it depends on the individual application. I'd back up all of it, do the install, and then use Setup Assistant to port things back.

OS-Authentication for a Oracle 10g Express Edition

I want to use OS-Authentication for an Oracle 10g Express Edition. What value must be set in sqlnet.ora ? Where are the possible authentcation modes described ? I only found the description KERBEROS5.
I tryed the value all, but with all no connect is possible.
Tanks for help
Josef Springer

Thanks for your link.
A special username with prefix is needed. This user must be created for external authentication. This user must be known by the OS. Am i right ?
>Right.
>
As i understand, to login with OS-Authentication i need a new windows user. This is not usable, because my users have their login and do not want to use another, when working with the database.
Is there another way to use OS-Authentication ?As far as I know, this is not possible especially with Oracle XE which has not all features of Entreprise Edition.

Must the prefix be used in any case ?

Which librarys are essential when compiling Oracle 10g OCCI program in CW9?

I'm using Mac OS X 10.3.6, gcc3.3, CodeWarrior 9.0, and installed XCode1.5 too.
I had installed Oracle Database 10g Client for Mac OS X fully.
I'm trying to build the demo of OCCI. I can run the'make -f demo_rdbms.mk occimb1' command
successfully, and generate a 'occimb1' execution file.
But when I build 'occimb1' demo with CodeWarrior, the statement 'Environment::createEnvironment()'
cause a error as below:
Link Error : undefined:
'_ZN6oracle4occi11Environment17createEnvironmentERKSsS4_NS1_4ModeEPvPFS6_S6_mEPFS6_S6_S6_
mEPFvS6_S6_E' (code)
Referenced from 'main' in occimb1.cpp
I had already added these lib: libclntsh.dylib.10.1, libocci.dylib.10.1, libnnz10.dylib, libociei.dylib.

Hi,
The same issue is faced by me when I was migrating my application from forms6i (oracle 8i) to forms 10g(oracle 10g).
Solution:
create a view based on the table on the other database (use db link)
now create a synonym using this view and make it public.
use this synonym in your form.
It looks like something weared but this worked !!
Try it !!

Where are classes for oracle.xml.parser.v2?

I have downloaded both V1 and V2 of the XML parser. I have managed to download the java classes under org.w3c.dom from www.w3.org but I can't find the classes under oracle.xml.parser.v2 (or without v2) anyway on technet. Both are required for import.
I would have expected them to be in the ZIP files xmlparser_v1_0_2_0.zip and xmlparser_v2_0_2_7.zip but they don't seem to be. These contain the equivalent HTML files but not the class files themselves, so compiling the samples is not possible.
Any help would be appreciated as this is becoming very frustrating.
Thanks in advance
Gary

Hi,
Could you please explain, what is OS authentication?
I created a new user for creating and runing jobs.
I have given following priveleges to the new User.'
1)Connect
2)SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE
3)Create Job
Then, I created the job as follows.
BEGIN
sys.dbms_scheduler.create_job(
job_name => 'SMPL_TST_JB',
job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
job_action => 'Declare
Result Integer;
begin
Result:=1;
/* Other statments */
Exception
when others then
Result:=3;
end;',
repeat_interval => 'freq=daily;byhour=10;byminute=00;bysecond=00',
start_date => systimestamp,
job_class => 'DEFAULT_JOB_CLASS',
auto_drop => FALSE,
enabled => TRUE);
sys.dbms_scheduler.set_attribute( name => 'SMPL_TST_JB', attribute => 'logging_level', value => DBMS_SCHEDULER.LOGGING_FULL);
sys.dbms_scheduler.set_attribute( name => 'SMPL_TST_JB', attribute => 'restartable', value => TRUE);
END;
Then, I run the job as following.

Pga_aggregate_target & db_cache_size for an Oracle 10g Datawarehouse env

We have an Oracle 10g Datawarehousing environment , with roughly 180 GB odd data running on 3 - node RAC
with 16 GB RAM & 4 CPUs each and roughly we have 200 users and night jobs running on this D/W .
We find that query performance of all ETL Processes & joins are quite slow .Certain packages take 35 min . or so to get executed.
How much should we modify the value of pga_aggregate_target & db_cache_size parameter for this Datawarehouse environment ? This is a Production database, with Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.1.0.5.0.
We use OWB 10g Tool for this D/W.
Current PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET is 8589934592, whereas db_cache_size is
1073741824
Please suggest ,
Thanks a lot in advance ,

It is not clear what is meant by term "packages" in this context - i.e. are these PL/SQL packages or some other bunch of pl/sql statements or whatever else, but simply blindly changing init parameters you won't get anything good in a predictable future.
You have to find WHAT is slow and tune that, it might very well be that it has nothing to do with pga_aggregate_target or another init parameters.
Optimizing Oracle Performance by Cary Millsap and Jeff Holt can be the gretest help in this case.
You can also look at his website www.hotsos.com, it has many whitepapers that can help you if you haven't the book.
I for example see " 3 - node RAC" in your post and that makes me suspicious because if you are running batch jobs reading/writing the same data on all 3 nodes simultaneously, then the problem might be data pinging among nodes. BUT I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE, as well as you don't know, so the only predictable scenario is to get to know what is the reason.

Web Folders, where are files and content stored?

When files/content are added to Web Folders, via Portal, where are these files stored? In the database? file system?
Thanks in advance for any answers!

Thanks for your reply Sandeep,
So I assume a hot or cold back-up of the database/MRU will also backup all Portal content?

Saving MSW or TextEdit docs to iCloud - where are they for retrieval?

It does not help being ignorant about iCloud, but I am.
I was saving a transcript in TextEdit when the iCloud prompt screen appeared indicating I could save it there. Because I have no idea where it can be retrieved, I saved it as normal, which is not a problem for me whatsover because I have a meticulously operated IMac with specific folders to save all my documents for various organizations including personal files Something I have done for over 10 years without any problems when it comes to retrieving files for later use. My IMac and MacBook are not lacking storage space. Have lots to spare.
Ancient users like me from the past century may not be catching onto iCloud like I should. I went to a Mountain Lion workshop but it was mostly an overview, no specifics. I found out that Apple has 3 new programs that simulate MSW Office documents. I have a sense that MSW Office files are not compatible with iCloud storage.
Okay! I need help to better understand saving files to iCloud and where on my system is iCloud to retrieve them? And, upon doing so, when I go to my MacBook, can I retrieve the same files on this device?
Dummy #1, for sure! Your patience and understanding will be most appreciated. Look forward to your assistance.

It will have been saved in your Home/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~TestEdit/Documents folder.
But remember:
In Lion and Mountain Lion that Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

WHERE ARE FILES FROM MIGRATION OF OFFICE FROM OLD WINDOWS COMPUTER, WHERE ARE FILES FROM MIGRATION OF OFFICE FROM OLD WINDOWS COMPUTER

I just followed directions of migration of my documents and Outlook from my Dell to my new iMac. Now, I can't find the files.

Refer to OS X Lion: About Windows Migration Assistant for general info about the procedure. Where the files end up depend on if you migrated your PC files when you first turned on the Mac or later, after you created its first user account. (Click on the appropriate section at the bottom of the 'about' article for more about that.)
It sounds like you did the migration later & the files are now in the home folder of another user account.

Where are files in 09

When I go Home to Pictures to iPhoto Library, I get an iPhoto Logo with the size etc but no files. Where are the actual files?
Thanks

For access to photos for use outside of iPhoto read Terence Devlin's treatise on file access. It is the best explanation of how to.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.
