Precompilers, OCI & OCCI :: PRO*C Compiler Version Versus Database Version
Oct 15, 2010
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.
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?
I am trying to upgrade the database 32bit from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.4 version in Linux 32 bit . I faced the version incompatibility error during patch set installation and hence ran the patchset installation with -ignoresysprereqs option.
Now during the patchset installation i encountered the below error in in the install logfile. ************************************** INFO: Start output from spawned process: INFO: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INFO: INFO: /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/bin/genclntsh INFO: genclntsh: genclntsh: Could not locate /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/network/admin/shrept.lst INFO: make: INFO: *** [client_sharedlib] Error 1 INFO: INFO: End output from spawned process.

Provide me the certified os and versions for oracle db 10gr2
what does mean VERSION_TIME column in V$DATABASE;i know that there is an other column which is called CREATED which indicates when the database has been created and i think it will never change,but, what about VERSION_TIME ? when does it change ?
what version of java is supported by Oracle Database 10g and 11g. Actually i am writing a User Defined Function in Java and was asking this question to know which version of java i need to compile the source file before uploading the jar.
I am new user using oracle XE. During the installing process, all see is Ok, but, when database is over startup process, the process NOT RESPONDING, and i don't know the cause.
My environment
Hardware: NOTEBOOK HP Genuine Inter (R) CPU T2500 @ 2.00GHz 1.66 GHz, 2 GB of RAM SO : Windows XP with services pack 3
Installation flow implement:
1. Download Oraclexe from oracle site 2. The installation & configuration process finish succeful, but when el flow are in startup point and i treat to login the login step give me the next message:
ERROR: ORA-01089: Immediate shutdown in progress - no operations are permitted Process ID:0 sESSION id: 0 Serial number: 0
I Hope about 5 hours and the message is the same, while when i hope about 5 hours.
How to know the version of Oracle and JDBC of remote databases that is accessing my database through DBLInk.
For example I have a database A , B database is using my database Through a dblink.Now I want to know the version of oracle and jdbc which working on B.
i used example in demo directory to connect Database.I used "ansidyn1" example. But i can connect to my DB.I have just modified oracle_connect in sample code(in ansidyn1.pc),follow it:
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.
when migrating from 32 bit Linux to 64 bit Windows version on database standard edition, is there a server media needed?if yes, can you give me more details on what it consists of?
I want write a program using oci to login into oracle database.Advance security option for the oracle server is set to kerberos authentication. Is it possible to login to the oracle database through olog() function.
Initial ticket is required in kerberos authentication. So is it also needed durinfg the login from my programme.
connecting to an oracle db with the instant client 11.01.06. I can connect to the db via other tools like sqldbx or SqlTools 1.5 which are also using oci. So now I tried it with c++ using Visual Studio 2005 SP1.
where tnsservice-name is the name I specified in the tnsnams.ora, and which I used with the other tools working fine -> same error.My username is only 4 long, so I thought it might have something to do with the string. So I tried:
now it returned the error "TNS:connect descriptor too long". Can't have anything to do with the .ora file, since it worked fine for the other tools. Plus it didn't matter if I renamed the .ora file or removed it from the TNS_ADMIN directory..So I searched a little more for a solution and so an example, where the the last argument is missing. So I tried
It returns: "TNS: protocol Adapter error" which I somehow can understand, since the adapter doesn't know to wich db to connect.I also tried to use some frameworks like soci or otl but was never able to compile them... (link errors, unknown data types etc...).
I have four Oracle 8i databases that can not be removed because of client requirements. These 8i databases have there own RMAN catalog which is 10G (Originally there were Oracle 8i, 9i and 10g databases using it but are now moved to 11g catalog). Databases are backing up fine. However, all the other databases are using the RMAN 11g Catalog. I want to point the Oracle 8i databases to point to the RMAN 11g recovery catalog. I created an 8i schema, however, i'm getting the following error message: RMAN-06429: RCVCAT database is not compatible with this version of RMAN. however, I wanted to put the question out there to see if there are any work arounds.
I downloaded Oracle Database 11g Express Edition R2 to test Apex (I've never used). I want to know how to change the language of the version of Apex (integrated with Oracle Database 11g XE)? I would apex in French.
Previously we had 32 bit C++. Now, we have migrated it to 64 bit. And our C++ programs interact with Oracle 10g DB.Our C++ program was working fine with 32 bit. But once after we migrate to 64 bit we are facing problem with one program which does FETCH(EXEC SQL FETCH SUBP1 INTO :new TabRec;) from Oracle DB. ie, We exit from a for loop in the C++ program when we get NOT FOUND(sqlca.sqlcode=1403) on executing the FETCH statement.
The sqlcode generated for NOT FOUND scenario is 1403. But, once after moving to 64 bit C++, we do not see the sqlcode 1403 instead we are seeing a different code 7124089117159473.
As the sqlcode is not 1403, our program does not exit from the for loop and goes on an infinite loop.Am I missing anything that makes me to not get the exact sqlcode?
I am using Pro*C/C++ Release 10.2.0.2 in HP-UX. But Pro*C/C++ application was written long back during oracle release 8. Now we are facing a problem like EXEC SELECT query is not fetching the records even though record is present in DATABASE.
This is not happening every time. This problem starts happening only after heavy use of the unix process.
For every request, unix process will fetch the record and updates the same at the end and process goes to wait mode to get the request again. Let say after 50 request, process is returned with no rows found error.
It started working fine only after restarting the process and problem starts again after 50th or 60th request. This problem we are facing only after upgrade to 10g.
I am experimenting with the 4.2 version of Apex at URL.....
I have created a tabular form (based on a view with an instead of trigger) and have restricted this form to "Update only" mode. Whenever I modify a field value and submit the change I get the error "Current version of data in database has changed since user initiated update process".
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.
