I have a question in Recovering the database.
E.g. Backup has done yesterday and today evening all files are lost (control, redologs, archive, etc.)
We are in 24/7 environment then how we need to recover the database?
We have a customer that was backing up his data by copying the oracle data XE folder (all .dbf files) to a backup drive. His server crashed and he formatted it and reinstalled the database 11g from scratch.
Now he needs to re-attach the .DBF files, is there a way?
I installed a server on a Linux server Oracle11.2.0.3 5.8 from 64 bits.The user who installed the Oracle software is "oracle" and belongs to oinstall and dba groups.
ID ORACLE
uid=503(oracle) gid=504(oinstall) groups=504(oinstall),505(dba),506(cvargas) context=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t
The software has been installed correctly and have been able to create two databases. As a requirement of the application, you must create an operating system user that launches processes.This user belongs to dba.But when trying to access Oracle via sqlplus gives this error:
-bash-3.2$ sqlplus davinci/xxxxxxx
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.3.0 Production on Fri Dec 7 23:22:40 2012

ERROR:
ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact
Enter user-name:
However, if you connect using a network descriptor works correctly.
SQLPLUS DAVINCI/xxxx@tns_alias
So there must be a problem with access to local resources.This user has the same profile file variable (. Bash_profile)
I had a Windows XP client pc with Oracle Client 11-1-0-6 installed. In my absence this client was reinstalled with Windows 7. Therefore all my Registry and Start - Programs settings have been lost.
However my original 11-1-0-6 Oracle Home still exists intact on my C: drive ( i.e. C:appitjxtproduct11.1.0client_2 )
Is there any way I can use the Oracle installer to register this Client Oracle Home again ( so it appears in the Registry and in START PROGRAMS ) ? or is there a way just to get the installer tio reinstall into the client_2 directory again ?
i was worked on oracle 11g.1, oracle data miner 11.1.0.4, sql developer 3.
unfortunately, after finishing my tables and models ,the hard disk damaged and was replaced with other.the oracle setup was not on system partition,it was on D:/ and i had windows backup for C, D partition. i restored oracle partition D which contains old oracle files and i installed oracle again but on partition F.
now....how can i restore tables and modules?

I have a big problem that came up latly which is importing XML files into oracle database.The point is that I have extracted whole PostgreSQL database into XML files - 236 tables - 1 XML file for every table and now I'm about to import them into Oracle tables. First of all, I would like to point out that I already have the structure of all the tables in oracle database, the files only carry the data (records) that need to be imported into oracle.
I've been trying to make it running and I can't do anything more serious about it for over a week..I will show You all example:
insert into ps_sprawozdania(miesiac, umowa_rok, umowa_nr, nr_korekty, nazwa, data_potw, data_exp, status_potw)
select
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/miesiac'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/umowa_rok'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/umowa_nr'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/nr_korekty'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/nazwa'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/data_potw'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/data_exp'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/status_potw')
from table(xmlsequence(xmltype(bfilename('c: est','ps_sprawozdania.xml'))));
That was one of my attempts to import data from file "ps_sprawozdania.xml" into table "ps_sprawozdnaia" into oracle. Here are 2 records from the XML file to show you Its structure
<NewDataSet>
<Cust>
<miesiac>7</miesiac>
<umowa_rok>2008</umowa_rok>
<umowa_nr>051/210412/01/000/08</umowa_nr>
<nr_korekty>0</nr_korekty>

I need to write a procedure to migrate files from Collaboration plum tree server to oracle database server into a table using a BLOB column .

I've got a physical standby (10g) which is missing some archive logs, and thus the managed recovery is stuck. I followed the procedure for taking an incremental backup of the primary from the last SCN in the standby, and then recovering the standby from that backup using rman.
It seemed that everything went according to the instructions, except that the "recover database" of the standby from the backup went much faster than I expected. Afterwards I checked the SCN of the standby (select current_scn from v$database) and it had indeed updated to a number beyond where it was stuck originally. The standby controlfile was restored from a backup of the primary's current controlfile, and the standby restarted. The problem is that when I started up standby recovery again, the standby is still looking for the logs which were missing. I can't figure out why! I've been googling around and digging through the docs, and the only clues I can find suggest that this would happen if the standby controlfile wasn't updated. But I did that.
We are migrating a proc application as described below.
Old Env: UNIX
Old DB: Oracle 8i
New Env: Linux
New DB: Oracle 11g
New modules are successfully compiled in Linux environment. But we are facing issues in writing the output of VARCHAR datatype to a file.
find below the extract of code.
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
varchar mcolmnvarchar[4];
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
EXEC SQL DECLARE crs CURSOR FOR
SELECT NVL(colmn,' ') FROM table1
memset(mcolmnvarchar.arr,'�',4); //Was added for only Linux migration. Not present in unix env.
EXEC SQL FETCH c1 INTO :mcolmnvarchar;
cout << "Data at Stage one"<< mcolmnvarchar << endl;
mcolmnvarchar.arr[mcolmnvarchar.len]='�';
cout << "Data at Stage two"<< mcolmnvarchar << endl;
fprintf(fptr,"%-4s",mcolmnvarchar.arr);
Above code works absolutely fine in Unix env with Oracle 8i. But with Linux env & Oracle 11g it is not working. No compilation or run time errors. Data at Stage one prints the output of database properly. But after null terminator code, Data at Stage two statement prints without any value. Value is lost after null terminator code.
I want to ask if I restore a control file from backup of say day2 and I recover till day1 using RMAN script, then what will be the state of my database? I mean day2 control file may be having SCN-Day2, and I am instructing RMAN to recover till past point in time that is SCN-Day1.

I am trying to take a backup from our production database and restore it to a fresh install of Oracle 10.2 on a Windows 2003 server using RMAN - but I am not getting very far. Software versions are all the same. I have access to the manuals, but it seems like every link I follow adds more questions than it answers.
I have gone through the wizard and set up oracle on the new box - that all seemed to go smoothly. In order for this to work, do I need to set up the database with the same DBID as the one in the backup files? Or is there a way to import the data from the backup and have it build the database from those files?
I'm not sure I'm even asking the right questions. Do any of y'all know of a tutorial that would walk me through this process step by step?
I have a requirement. My Front end is Oracle Application. If any user deletes the data from front end screen. One log file should be generated. That file will save in one folder in my server. And That log file consists which code is deleted. And the user name who deleted the code, time and deleting status..
Now my requirement is i have to develop a report to display the log file data. But i don't have a database table to retrieve the data. The data consists Log files. How to transfer the Log files in DB table.
In my project I am storing everything in database BLOB column.Everything includes images,documents,videos and any thing uploaded from form.

: I noticed three data files on my standby show's they are corrupted. What will be the easy and fast way to sync them up from my production database?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe're currently in a situation where the primary database server fs size does not match the standby database server fs size.
Standby database filesystem is almost 100% utilized, and we suggested to move some of the datafiles first to avoid threshold alerts and archive gaps.
Now, if we're gonna move datafiles on the physical standby, I believe the process would be stop managed redo apply -> shutdown standby -> OS move -> startup mount -> alter rename -> start managed redo apply. Is this correct? If not, how?
Also, would it have an effect if the controlfiles of primary and standby do not match because of the movement?
I have the following situation: a customer sent me a group of files, that he said to be a "backup" of an old database, that is no longer online (he doesn´t use our software anymore). However, he needs to recover the data in this database. The person at the company who generate these files doesn´t work there anymore, so we don´t have any of the following information:
- Database version, connection details, service names, user names neither tablespace names.
We were just told that these files were recorded in a DVD, and is que only source remaining.
The files he sent are the following:
ctrlcf_satp_01.ctl
ctrlcf_satp_02.ctl
ctrlcf_satp_03.ctl
daddf_satp_dad_01.dbf
[code]......
Is there a way to access this data? Or can I tell our costumer that your data is lost forever..
I wanted to copy some archive log files between 2 DB Server.Steps:
1) Edited the Local and Remote DB's TNSNAMES file and modifyied like below.
bookstore =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.80.100.28)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = BOOKSTORE)
)
)
2) Created a Source Directory --> DR1
3) Created a Target Directory --> DR2
4) Created a DB Link
CREATE DATABASE LINK LINK1 CONNECT TO <username of the Remote DB> IDENTIFIED BY <Password> USING '<Remote DB Name taken in the TNSFILE>.
5) In the Local Server I had written the below command.
create or replace procedure proc1 is
cursor c1 is select recid,substr(name,37) "ARCH_FILE" from v$archived_log;
var1 c1%rowtype;
begin
open c1;
fetch c1 into var1;

It is working, but not coping the Files from Local To the Remote.

We have a host for restore purposes. We execute monthly or quarterly restore operations to verify that I am able to restore a subset of the data in the given amount of time or to other purposes. I have a automated script to Clone the Database, but to Clone Database we need remove the old database from ASM before start this operation. I want remove only Database files and keep the configuration (such as oratab/network/ocr and so on).
Question: There is a easy way to remove these files without connect on ASM or by using DBCA?
I know this question must have been asked several time. I just want to know the many ways in which we can have a DB up and running even if we do not have any backup of control file not even the trace of the same.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was carrying out an experiment in order to crash the database and recover it.
The database was running, I moved the control file to another location and to my surprise the database was still running. I tried issuing checkpoint and transaction but it didn't affect database operations. I tried doing log switch. It completed successfully. According to my understanding and Oracle Certification books database was supposed to crash. But it didn't.
I tried this not only on RHEL, Windows XP but also in Solaris 5.10. The database version is Oracle 10.2.0.4 Standard Edition.
I am trying to upload a database backup on a machine. Since the structure of files is different from server, how can i start the database.
Do i need to create a new control file? If yes, how can i run the sql command "Alter database backup controlfile to trace" in nomount mode.

There is a report that is generated everyday in the .csv file format that i would want to load into the database. I want to completely automate this process. I don't want to use the load function available in APEX. I use APEX 3.2 Version.
What i mean by automation is that i will create the CSV file and automatically move to a location from which APEX can access the data. I would then write a procedure to fetch the content directly from CSV file and write to the database. What i need is the location from which APEX can access data directly ?
