Re: Export data to dbf

2003-03-09 Thread Yechiel Adar
if you are talking about dbase files you can do it via Excel.
Excel has drivers both for oracle and for dbase files.

cant connect oracle after developer 9i instll

2003-03-09 Thread Ryan
1.I installed Oracle 9i on a Windows XP platform. Had it create a default
database. Successfully logged in.

2. I then installed the 9i developer suite.

I am now getting the follow error in my trace file:

Fatal NI connect error 12645, connecting to:

Here is my sqlnet.ora file:

If I take out: SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_CLIENT = requested from SQLNET, I get the
following error:

ORA-01034: Oracle Not available
ORA-27101: Shared Memory Realm not avaible

I have checked services and my instance is started, along with my listener.
I can recognize it with the Administrator tool GUI.
My init.ora is just the default created by Oracle.

Anyone have any ideas? It worked before I installed Developer?

Re: LPAR on AIX and Oracle Licensing

2003-03-09 Thread Mogens Nørgaard
Oracle's Software Investment Guide talks about these things, and it's 
avalable from Oracle.com . Basically, if a machine can be fitted with 
more than four processors (even if only one or two have been placed in 
the box), then you have to buy the CPU option. However, if the machine 
architecture is such that its CPUs can be partitioned, then you can 
avoid this trap. I've also seen customers arguing successfully about 
this, even if the architecture is not hardware partiotionable.

Henry, Keith wrote:

Our systems folks are talking about consolidating a couple of machines by using LPARs.

If we have a machine running AIX with 6 processors, can we license Oracle with 2 processors if those are segmented out within an LPAR?

It's always a challenge to get hold of our sales rep, so I thought I would ask here.

 Just to add my meaningless diatribe to the discussion,
 I think that there are good hints and bad hints.

 For example, first_rows(n) is a good hint, in that you
 are giving the optimizer more information as to what
 your motivations are for this query, without stifling
 it into a choice that may not be appropriate down the
 track.

 Hints such as index(tab,idx) are bad hints, because
 you are more exposed to grief.  If the index is
 renamed, then its no longer a hint.  If the data
 distribution changes, or the index is rebuilt in
 reverse or compressed, then it may no longer be a good
 option, etc.

 In terms of the vendor speak of hints imply weak
 optimizer I think thats nonsense.  Having worked with
 DB2 in the past, nothing used to be more irritating
 then coming up with bizarre convolutions on an
 otherwise simple SQL to ensure that certain indexes
 were or were not chosen.

 I don't see how Oracle could ever have an
  official position on hints.
  If
  they say hints are going away, many developers
  panic. If they say hints
  are
  great, then Oracle competitors will claim Oracle has
  a bad optimizer.
 A key political issue in some shops is Using
  hints makes our code

  Hi,

  Some are good but most of them can use help.
 
  I'm not a big fan of hints except for insert append,

  In last october I went to a 3 days DB2 UDB course,

Re: remote / as sysdba

2003-03-09 Thread Jared Still

Ran into an interesting problem with this on Friday.

We've put together a new SAP server that is not yet attached
to a network, and so are using local account names rather than
the normal domain accounts until  we're ready to put it on the
network. ( We're replacing another server, and this one has
the same name.  We have to name it properly from the beginning,
no switching the name to make it live.)

SAP uses three types of servers in General: PRD, QAS and DEV.

This one happens to be the QAS server.  In this case, there are
two OS accounts on the server, qasadm and sapserviceqas, that
will be created with oracle accounts identified externally.

Normally these appear as OPS$QASADM and OPS$SAPSERVICEQAS
in the Oracle database.  

The name of the server is SAPQAS.

After installing SAP, we hid the starter db that is installed by renaming
directories, etc.  We then switched in the real database that is a clone
of the current QAS system.

SAP wouldn't start, and wouldn't give any indication of the problem. 
Turning auditing on for sessions showed that the SAP services were
not logging into the database.  Hmmm

Switched the starter database back in, and took a look at the accounts.

They were somewhat different than expected: OPS$SAPQAS\QASADM
and OPS$SAPQAS\SAPSERVICEQAS.  The machine name had been 
included in the accounts names of the SAP starter database.  Hadn't 
seen this before.

Switched the cloned database backin, created accounts with machine 
name included ( which requires caps and double quotes due to the 
backslash in the account name ), assigned all privs, copied some objects
and started SAP again.

All worked fine after that.  

Is this to be expected?  I still don't know nearly as much about Windoze
as Unix, so maybe I need to bone up on the Windoze security.  ( Don't
laugh please, I have to live with it )

 Thank you for the information. I thought the security issues were more
 fundamental. For example if my database has remote os authentication (with

 change the Windows Registry on my client to enable me to logon to the
 database as OPS$JSTILL.

  At one time you could set the 'ORACLE_USERNAME=SYSTEM'
  variable in your
  oracle.ini
  file, and log into any database as SYSTEM ( without a
  password ) as long
  as REMOTE_OS_AUTHEN=true.
 
  That was obviously some years ago, and I don't know if that is still
  possible.
 
  I would have hoped that such an obvious hole was plugged
  years ago.  It
  seems to
  me that it was, but I don't recall details.
