I'm a Data Manager recently hired at a small company that uses InForm as our data management tool. We are currently not set up with any type of SQL tool to query the database. Consequently, I feel like I'm trying to clean data with one hand tied behind my back. I have two questions:
1) Is there any sort of built in feature in InForm for using SQL statement to query the data? (I'm not really a fan of the built in Cognos feature.)
2) Any tool that is easy to install/configure?
I'm facing some resistance here, so I'm looking for a really easy/cheap solution. I've used SQL Developer before, and I know that's free, but is it easy to set-up?
I want to install Erwin for data modelling purpose. I am not looking at some heavy data models but a basic model. I am new to data modelling. I was given the CD to install, but I am not sure what I need.
I converted the access db's to access 2003, the version I am running. Still, after fighting with this for a couple of days I can't get this to work and can't find information on what's wrong. I keep getting:
Error #49 - XMLExporter - ActiveX Component Can Not Create Object....Database Schema did not complete successfully.
This is really getting old. If this doesn't work is there a way to copy the tables into SQLDeveloper without the exporter tool? Like I said, I'm really at my end with this.
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.
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)
# "New Method" jdbc:oracle:thin:@vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com:1521/sting2.na.sas.com (this works) jdbc:oracle:thin:@vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com:1521/sting2 (this errors) (SQuirreL client error, "Unexpected Error occurred attempting to open an SQL connection.")
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:
[oracle@d4 oracle] $ isql OracleODBC-10g user passtemp -v [01000][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/home/oracle/instantclient_10_2/libsqora.so' : file not found [ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
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'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.
I was downloaded new version of TOAD for Oracle version 10.6 and I try to connect to my current database (oracle xe) and TOAD raise an error ORA-12154 Could not connect to XE..., but with old version of TOAD 9.6 all works fine. What can be an solutions?
I'm fighting with a fairly large set of dynamic queries created by some developer (often SQL is over 2MB) accessing plenty of tables having something like 1000 columns...
Formatting of such query takes ages in Toad while is pretty fast in Oracle SQL Developer... SQL developer is running plenty write operations in local app data directory... moving it onto a ram-drive didn't worked how I could optimize Toad's formatter?
I'm often accessing a small table which has 100 columns of type VARCHAR2(4000).
The problem is that I cannot see the results of such query as Toad is throwing "out of memory" exception. How to deal with that?
Many moons ago, at a previous employer, I had access to the SQL Monitor tool that came with TOAD. I could really use an alternative to this now, as we don't have TOAD here, and it would need to be free. I'm getting a problem with a forms update failing, and I really need to see what's actually being submitted to the database by the form. We're still stuck on Forms 6 by the way
why are there in the Administration --> --> Session 2 entries for 1 database connection (here with benthic golden).But if I login in a browser, there is only 1 entry for this database connection
