I want to find out the oracle client version on a particular server. How can I do that? I used to know some files to look at, and part of the file name indicated the version #, but it's been too long and I don't remember which files they are.
We are interested to find the number of connections from specific client. Is tracing on sqlnet.ora in the client machine the answer? If yes, which trace has the information?
We have a Oracle 10g database in the server. We are trying to connect to the server using oracle6 client and we are able to do so. How ever when retrieving the "time stamps" field , getting an error "ORA-03115: unsupported network datatype or representation". I understood from the error that, the client version need an upgrade.
How ever , We have another server which is having Oracle6 installed in the server and hence If i install/upgrade the client in my local system , I will be having trouble.
My question is , is there any way to get the timestamps from oracle6 client with out any issue.
when i am trying to connect to the database using sqldeveloper i am not able to connect to database. its giving me an error "Unsupported Oracle database version" but with plsql developer I am able to connecting.
For one of our Java applications, the Oracle Client installed in the apps server was 10.2 . One of the SCAN LISTENERs were down in the cluster. When DNS resolves the scan name to that particular SCAN IP where the listener is down, the connection will fail. But , after they upgraded the oracle client to 11.2 , the issue seems to be resolved. It seems that the client is skipping the faulty SCAN IP which doesn't have scan listener running. Are 11.2 and higher Oracle clients intelligent enough to check 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.
I am using Oracle 11g version, I wanted to check if a particular function is available in the earlier version of Oracle (Say 9i). Oracle optimizer to run the query only using the features available in the 9i version?
and the error I'm getting is "incompatible versionnumber 3.1 in the dumpfile mydmpfile.dmp"
The dump file was exported using oracle 11.2.0.2.0. I tried to download/unzip the client version of instantclient 11.2.0.2 and add it to the PATH variable in windows and then re-run the script, but it didn't work.
How I should go from here to import this dump file without reinstalling the whole database?
I am trying to find the unix process for one of my application in the database but I am unable to view the same. To simulate, I did the following.
1. My database runs on different server. 2. I invoked "sqlplus" from another unix box to login to the database. 3. I found that the process id (ps -ef |grep sqlplus). 4. When I execute the below mentioned query it does not display the process id that I am looking for. But the osuser, username, program and machine details are correct. How can I know the process details from the database?
SELECT SYS.GV_$SESSION.OSUSER, SYS.GV_$SESSION.USERNAME, SYS.GV_$PROCESS.SPID, SYS.GV_$SESSION.MACHINE, SYS.GV_$SESSION.PROGRAM, SYS.GV_$PROCESS.PROGRAM ,SYS.GV_$SESSION.SQL_ID FROM SYS.GV_$PROCESS, SYS.GV_$SESSION WHERE SYS.GV_$PROCESS.ADDR=SYS.GV_$SESSION.PADDR and SYS.GV_$SESSION.USERNAME='TEST' and SYS.GV_$SESSION.MACHINE like '%hostname%'
We are planning to upgrade a database from 9.2.0.8.0 to 10.2.0.4.0.We have a lot a PRO*C programs pre compiled using 9.2.0.8.0 (and most likely even 9.2.0.7.0) compiler.
if we could upgrade the database without having to re-compile all the programs.We have tested this approach against some of our programs. Most of them executed fine - but in 2 cases we are getting "ORA-01001 invalid cursor". I suspect, that the case is that Pre compiler version 9 is not supported against 10g databases - but I am not sure.
Would it be a better option to upgrade Pre compiler/client as the first step and the db as the second step (and would that be supported) ? We definitely don't want to upgrade both Pre compiler/Client and the Database in one goal - that would be too risky.
and user enters the figure like 13025now i would like to find the closest next value to the number entered by user, which is 713285 .how can i get this result, i have search a lot on Internet and i found some analytic functions can work out. but don't know how ..
I need to find out that assume i have a table having 2 column
Num Name 1 Adam 2 Akanksha 1 barren 2 bosli 3 Benergee 4 Bhawna 3 anjani
I want a query as if A is there 2 times then there should be 1 then 2 then there is b coming in 4 places then it should be 1 2 3 4 and again there is anjani so 3 should be there as 1 and 2 in first 2 places and the num should be automatically generated number based on the count of the alphabets
I am currently working on a Data Dictionary project where we need to run a few rules against the give data sources to see if they all comply together.
One of the rule is to check if the no. is negative or not. So for that what I tried to do was to check if first the field is number or not and then check on if it is negative or not.
This is the code I am currently trying on and is not looking good.
SELECT 1 FROM DUAL WHERE decode(DECODE( TRANSLATE('-123.45','-0.123456789',''), NULL, 1,0), 1,substr('-123.45',1,1) ,' ' ) = '-'
We have data as below in the table. I need the to display the records in the order based on number of NULL values and position for each record.
provide a simple query using case in ORDER BY clause.
ID CLASS NAME DIST_ID DIST_NAME 0 NULL KIRAN 0 AP 0 C1213 NULL 0 AP 0 NULL NULL 0 AP NULL C1234 NULL 0 AP 0 NULL NULL 0 AP NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL 0 C123 RAJESH 0 AP NULL C123 RAVI NULL AP
We have to give the rank based on NULL values and NULL value column position.Let us assume column positions as
1 2 3 4 5 ID CLASS NAME DIST_ID DIST_NAME
for the following three records number of NULL values are same. but positions are different.
0 NULL NULL 0 AP NULL C1234 NULL 0 AP 0 NULL NULL 0 AP NULL C123 RAVI NULL AP
Based on the column positions the ranks as 2*2+3*3=13 1*1+3*3=10 2*2+3*3=13 1*1+4*4=17
Which is having high rank (greatest number) that record should come last . The record which is having all values that should come first. The record which is having all NULL values should come last. The out put I want as
ID CLASS NAME DIST_ID DIST_NAME 0 C123 RAJESH 0 AP 0 NULL KIRAN 0 AP 0 C1213 NULL 0 AP NULL C1234 NULL 0 AP 0 NULL NULL 0 AP 0 NULL NULL 0 AP NULL C123 RAVI NULL AP NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL
How to find the line number along with package name or procedure name (for ex. in Oracle 10g DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE ) where exactly error is coming in forms.There is plsql code written and while executing the code, ORA-01722: invalid number error is coming. For easy tracing the error, any way is there ?
I searched in Google before posting in this forum and found that ON-ERROR trigger if we write DBMS_ERROR_TEXT it will display the ling number along with package or procedure name. But it is not working and this is only giving me error name no line number.
We have a requirement where we need to pay allowance for the employees based on their number of working days. Say for example if an employee worked from 03/Mar/2012 to 05/Apr/2012.
We have a fixed value for per month 300 Dirhams. But the Number of Days on March s 31 and Number of days in April is 30. So per day allowance for March day would be 300/31 and April would be 300/30.
We are looking for logic opr query which calculates first eh number of days in each month ( across months) and then calculate as below
Number of Working days in March is 31 - 3 + 1 = 29
Allowance A1 = (300 * 29 )/31
Number of Working days in April is 5 ( this also needs to find logical I am guess ) Allowance A2 = (300 * 5 )/30
Then A1 + A2.
The A(n) would be the total allowance where provided the number of month across.
