how to create a script that will describe only the structure of 150 tables of a database.have it just like this, but I cannot produce the name of the table:
spool desctab.sql select 'desc '||owner||'.'||table_name||'' from all_tables where owner='SKIMA' order by table_name; spool off
.. the output of the spool file is something like this:
Name Null? Type ----------------------------------------- -------- ------------- OFC_CODE VARCHAR2(3) OFFICE VARCHAR2(35) DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(50) REMARKS VARCHAR2(200) OFFICER VARCHAR2(35)
I can do any sql commands against the schema I want (PSUSYS) with my username(SCHWAN) in the sql window, but when I want to export a table(created with a different schema) no tables are listed in the export window. This does work for my coworkers with the same access.
At one time this used to work so I'm wondering if it is a parameter that I inadvertently changed.
1) A reverse engineering tool that I can point to an Oracle schema and get a "baseline" script to re-create that schema from scratch, with decently formatted DDL files (1 per object) neatly organized in a directory tree (by object type) and called in the correct order. Icing on the cake would be an option to pass the tool a list of tables containing static data and get DMLs to populate (insert) those tables as part of the script.
2) a diff tool that I can point to a pair of Oracle instances (source and target) containing a given schema and get a "delta" script to alter the target schema so that it becomes identical to the source schema. If data loss occurs on the target instance (i.e. drop a column) I would like to find a warning comment inserted in the script (e.g. "-- Attention: data migration DML needed here?"). Icing on the cake would be an option to pass the tool a list of tables containing static data and get DMLs to update (delete, update and insert) the data in the target tables to become identical to the contents in the source tables *without* deleting and re-inserting all rows (or dropping, recreating and repopulating the table).
3) I would like the above two tools (that, as you will have recognized, are basic to putting your database design under version control) to be open-source, with a command-line interface and a vibrant community backing them.
I have created 3 tables and some indexes, but these objects do not show up in dba_segments view. Is this a normal behaviour? Previously, with dictionary managed tablespace, I can specify the minimum extent to create, when the table/index is created. But I'm not sure how the locally managed tablespace work.
I'm using Oracle 11g R2 (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64), running on Windows 7.For the purpose of reproducing this issue, I have created the tablespaces as follow:
CREATE TABLESPACE CUST_DATA DATAFILE 'd:appasusoradataorcl11gr2CUST_DATA01.DBF' SIZE 512K AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 256K MAXSIZE 2000K EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 256K SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;
SELECT department_id FROM (SELECT department_id FROM employees UNION SELECT department_id FROM employees_old ) WHERE department_id=100; [code]....
The index has been created on both depart_id for the two tables. The only difference between the two I observed was the 1 recursive call for the 1st sql.and also, one additional view in the plan.There is a little difference in bytes sent over the network.
The problem is that this connection errors when I try to connect using my SQuirreL client. My developers want to connecting using the SID or the SERVICE_NAME and by using the "New Method" syntax, not the "Old Method" syntax. According to the documentation the "New Method" syntax works with the SERVICE_NAME or the SID. The "Old Method" only works with the SID.
# Host name is vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com # SID is sting2 # SERVICE_NAME is sting2.na.sas.com
PROBLEM using SID errors ==> jdbc:oracle:thin:@vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com:1521/sting2 THIS WORKS using SERVICE_NAME ==> jdbc:oracle:thin:@vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com:1521/sting2.na.sas.com
I am using SQuirreL Client version 3.4.0
# Here is the tnsnames.ora entry on the server. STING2 = (DESCRIPTION =
[code]...
# In this documentation it says, "On new syntax SERVICE may be a oracle service name or a SID."You can find this on the orafax wiki under JDBC#Thin_driver.
# I was able to connect with the "old method" using the SID only, SERVICE_NAME errors jdbc:oracle:thin:@vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com:1521:sting2.na.sas.com (SQuirreL client error, "Unexpected Error occurred attempting to open an SQL connection.") jdbc:oracle:thin:@vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com:1521:sting2 (this works)

I have 780(12*65) csv files generated from 65 databases.Now I have to load this 780 csv files into 12 tables created in my database for some monitoring and reporting purpose.to call the sql loader I am plannig to create 780 lines like below.
we know creating 780 control files is the difficult task.So I have created only 12 control files. is there any mechanism to pass a varible (planning to declare it in the sqlldr line) to the infile clause like below in sql loader?
I have new virtual UNIX machine and I installed oracle client on /usr/lib/oracle. Also I have a oracle database and I am able to connect to this database from my desktop sql developer.
So now I am trying to connect from new UNIX machine. Where I created tnsnames.ora file under /usr/lib/oracle/network/admin and before connecting did export the following
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist. Not sure what I missed here. using same tns file I am able to connect from sql developer on windows.
I need to install Oracle client to get latest sql plus working on client pc as the problem is, i am not able to find out where i can download this , i just need the sql plus as i am not able use many commands because when i installed oracle forms 6i client tool , sql plus 8.0 got installed.
I want to use BR*Tools to administer an Oracle database. I have installed BrGUI local, set the JAVA Home variable and edited the brgui.properties file accordingly.I am able to login, but the menues are mising. The login screen is incomplete.
I usually work in oracle using the different editors like toad, plsql developer etc. I felt command line is good utility because of various supporting points. I am not sure what kind of command line tools is available/used. I am using pretty straight command line (run->cmd, then enter username and password).
The best command line tools available. What is generally used command line tools.
The version is Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi. for Unix AIX 5
I install the ODBC Driver Manager, Basic Instant Client, ODBC Instant Client packages (libsqora.so, odbc_update_ini.sh).
The error:

I have an Oracle server on CentOS 5.4, I can visit isqlplus on server, but I can't visit isqlplus on a windows client. ping works between server and client. I remember client doesn't need to install software via isqlplus, but I am not pretty sure.
I have a Client Server application that I created using an MS-SQL Server Database (MS-SQL Server 2008 R2 Express).Since MS-SQL Server has wide range (and number) of DATA_TYPEs, I elected to dedicate a few of those DATA_TYPEs to application-specific processing (mainly the MONEY and BOOLEAN DATA_TYPES).
I further decided that within the Client Application that the general processing of a particular field would be determined by the corresponding DATA_TYPE stored in the database.
The DATA_TYPE of a particular field within the SQL Server database and may be determined by querying:
"select DATA_TYPE from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns where ( ( Column_name = 'my_Field' ) and ( Table_Name = 'myTable' ) )"
I also extract/use other DATA_TYPE information as needed/appropriate.
With this information the Client Application can consistently process a MONEY (a DATA_TYPE in MS-SQL Server) differently than perhaps either a DECIMAL or a BIGINT (two other DATA_TYPEs in MS-SQL Server). I have to create the field with the correct DATA_TYPE in the database, but after that I don't have to worry about it.
I am now moving over to an Oracle Database (Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2). And I would like to have the same (or similar) functionality as described above.
Oracle has fewer DATA_TYPES so it is more difficult to tie an application-specific-datatype to an Oracle-database-specific-DATA_TYPE. There simply aren't as many to "sacrifice" to my application-specific-processing. I don't want to treat every NUMERIC field as "the-apps-money-type."
With Oracle I can associate "the-apps-money-type" with, let's say, a NUMERIC(9,2) and then the Client Application will treat all NUMERIC(9,2) as "the-apps-money-type."The Client Application queries the Oracle database for DATA_TYPE, DATA_PRECISION, and DATA_SCALE to make this determination.
But this approach does not appeal to me, suppose that I have other NUMERIC(9,2) fields that are not of "the-apps-money-type." How can I set and then later determine, from the Oracle backend, if the NUMERIC(9,2) field is meant to be used as "the-apps-money-type" or just a regular number?
Is there some way I may create some sort of "sub DATA_TYPE" in Oracle?I considered indicating this in the COMMENTS field that is associated with particular field. Then query for that comment when I process NUMERIC DATA_TYPEs. But the COMMENTS field does not seem to make it into user_tab_columns or all_tab_columns.
(With Oracle SQL Developer one can create/modify/delete the user created tables/fields. COMMENTS may be added to particular fields within a table--these are the COMMENTS that I am referring to above).What I would like to do, and most direct approach to me, would be to somehow create a user defined DATA_TYPE that is simply:
1) a user defined DATA_TYPE name (like, MY_MONEY_TYPE), 2) associated with an Oracle Built-in datatype (like NUMERIC(9,2).
Then when the client application queries user_tab_columns the field may be processed appropriately. If I cannot do that, perhaps there is somewhere else that I may set and subsequently query for this sort of information. What is(are) the most direct way(s) to implement the functionality described above?
I'm not able to run SQL *Plus on my machine. It is giving me below error.
Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory
Setting of PATH environment variable is as below. If I remove below highlighted part I'm able to run SQL * Plus. I cannot remove this because it is required to run my application.
