Re: Eval copy of 91

Nothing, really.

But it is quite likely that an Oracle sales rep will be giving you a call
sometime during your evaluation.

 I have purchased an eval copy of 9i for my PC using XP
 Prof.  The eval is for 30 days.  What happens at the
 end of the eval period?  Does my PC melt, does the DB
 lock up, or nothing?

 TIA,

Re: Codde's Rules and Oracle

2002-01-19 Thread Charles Wolfe

One  could argue that Oracle is compliant with rule 11.  A distributed
Oracle database can be constructed in such a way as to be transparent to end
users.

With the addition of 'INSTEAD OF' triggers in 8i, one could argue that
Oracle is also compliant with rule 7.

Just my $.02.

 Here's a URL for a list of the rules:

 http://luna.pepperdine.edu/~ckettemb/class/Codd12R.html

 After taking a quick glance at the rules, I think that Oracle fails
 on 7 and 11, probably others, but those were the ones that stood
 out without too much pondering.  :)

Re: Codde's Rules and Oracle

2002-01-19 Thread Charles Wolfe

Certainly, much of the 'under the hood' work needed to make the delivered
database simple for end users to manipulate is very complicated.  But, Codd
merely postulated standards for the 'ideal' relational database, he didn't
prescribe the means for achieving those standards, or that the standards be
easy to achieve, only that it be simple for end users to obtain the data
they need.

Anyway, if it were too simple, the work wouldn't be terribly interesting,
and DBAs would be little more than glorified system administrators.  :)

 I admit to being on shaky ground on rule 11.  See my
 comments in another post.

 You *could* argue that 'instead of' triggers allow compliance
 with rule 7.  Have you tried to implement it?   It gets too complicated
 too fast.

 This may be a case of being in compliance with the letter of the
 law while violating its spirit.

Re: is C compiler a must for oracle UNIX installations ?

Relinking only requires 'make' and 'ld'.  The components which make up the
Oracle binaries are provided as compiled object code, so no C compiler is
necessary for relinking.

 Because you are running this in the AT scheduler, it is not executing
 with the same permissions.

 I'll bet that your batch script it not on the C: drive.

 Put it on the C: drive and see if it works.

 Dear Gurus , I have a question , In fact I wonder if it is a bug of NT .

 I want to close and reopen database with a .BAT file .
  When I execute the .bat file directly it executes correctly . But When I
 execute it with a schedule with AT command then it connects but does not
 close database.

 How can I handle That. ?
 What do you do when you want to schedule startups and shutdowns of

Oracle and Red Hat

2001-05-28 Thread Charles Wolfe

All,

Over the past few days, there have been postings which stated that Oracle
had withdrawn certification for Red Hat Linux.

The first indicated that Oracle had withdrawn certification for Apps 11i on
Red Hat Linux.  Subsequent postings further indicated that Red Hat would not
be a supported OS platform for upcoming releases of the RDBMS as well.

I did find one forum posting on Metalink which indicated that Red Hat had
withdrawn from the Oracle certification process, but have found no other
references to the above.

Does anyone know of any relevant articles, or support/desupport notices
regarding this?

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chuck
