what sort of queries IT auditors run against the database? assist me wit these so that I can run them before hand in order to sort out any security vulnerabilities which we might potentially have prior to this being picked up by external auditors?

our system has always been running on mysql database and recently we have switched to oracle. As the current system is coded using mysql query syntax, when i run this program using oracle database, i got a error. The language that I'm using is JSP.
this is the error message:
The following query could not run on oracle. To convert these mysql queries to oracle compatible queries.
SELECT productID,productName FROM products order by productName;
select newsID,newsDate,newsHeadLine1 from news order by newsDate Desc limit 3
SELECT fuji_products.productID, productName_Display FROM products,products_availability where products_availability.productID=products.productID and (product_status='enabled' or product_status='all') AND category='12'
SELECT catID, catSub1 from category where catSub = '"+ prodCat +"' AND catSub1 is not null group by catSub1 order by catSub1
I am database developer and suddenly i have been given a DBA work. I have to monitor database for resource intensive queries , whether i/o is more , process memory and many other stuffs.
Provide me some sql queries or scripts which shows that process are over loaded and memory needs to be allocated, queries are taking long time , i/o operation are more instead of memory.
I'm reading "Learning Oracle PL/SQL" and this book tells me that if I can install apache httpd and modplsql I can embed queries in HTML. How do I do this in Database App Development VM? Do I already have apache httpd installed? Is it already started? If not, how do I start it?

I already tried to use "yum install emacs" as I mentioned in Re: How to Install emacs, openssh and start oracle database and get a connect? and it appears that the repository for "yum" is not correct.
"yum install httpd" does not work either.
When I tried "sudo yum install httpd" it says
"Sorry, user oracle is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/yum install httpd' as root on localhost.localdomain."
I get the same message for "sudo yum isntall emacs".
We know and perform lots of tuning stuff on our databases, mainly on primary side.
but the set of queries running on standby databases (like to use for reporting purpose) are totally different from one running at primary.
so How can we tune out our Standby DB to perform well ?

View 2 Replies View Relatedi have created a database on my pc and i have given a password at the time of installation , after the installation it is accessed successfully by the given password , but i observed that when i gave anything in password then it is also accessed by it and i don't have any other database of this same name.
And when i access it through another system then it is accessed only by its original password not by any other password.
how can i secure my database from hacking by any one of these:
1-sql injections
2- DON(Danial Of service)
3- buffer overflow
4- listner hack
We have Employee table, there is a field name Employee_no. field size is 6.can we restrict some one not to increase or decrease the field size of Employee_no. even User has admin role.
is there any way to restrict admin user that he should not allow to enter the value of field more or less than 6 characters through Toad or SQL Plus 8.0.
------------------------------------------------------
for example
field: employee_no
feild_size: 6
field_type: Varchar2
When we enter Employee no A000001(7 digit) then database not allowed to update because its field size is 6 characters we want to restrict admin user in Toad or SQL Plus 8.0 because he is Toad and SQL Plus user.

how to configure log miner with oracle database 11g as we need to analyze redolog files.how to install,configure,use log miner.
I'd like to have my 11g database authenticate users against an OpenLDAP service. We'd still create accounts in the database, and do authorization within the database, but I'd just want to the user's passwords authenticated externally, against the OpenLDAP service. Is this possible? My searching through these forums and Google seems to indicate that you can do it if you run an Oracle Internet Directory (OID) service. I do not want to have to install and maintain an Oracle Internet Directory service. I'd like to do it without it.
I have a working PL/SQL function (below) that can authenticate a passed in username & password against our OpenLDAP directory. Is there any way for me to have Oracle call this function for the database user authentication? Or is there any other way for me to get the Oracle database to directly authenticate against OpenLDAP without having to run OID?
