Server Administration :: Incorrect Version Of Oracle
Apr 28, 2011
I installed 11.1.0.6. on Linux RedHat 5.5. Then upgraded to 11.1.0.7. However when I issue sqlplus /nolog and do select banner from v$version it shows 11.1.0.6. Although the install and upgrade were successful. I wonder why it does not show 11.1.0.7. I upgraded using the installer and not dbua could this be the reason why?
In my test server ..When i'm going to check the oralce verion .which version this one ? im not seeing anything from oracle EE or standard edition & personal edition ...
SQL> select BANNER from v$version; BANNER ---------------------------------------------------------------- Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production CORE 10.2.0.4.0 Production TNS for Linux: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
I want to upgrade my Oracle version from 10.2.0.1.0 to 10.2.0.4.0 but but i don't know what are the correct ways. i read the read me file in the patch set and fallowed the steps but its giving me error e.g. "Error in writing to file D:Oracleproduct10.2.0.2.0inoraevrus10.dll" every time. We have no RAC and Cluster Environment.
dbms_metadata is giving me code that will create more datafiles than the original, and furthermore won't run: firstly, because two files are named with a null string, and secondly because it includes RESIZE commands which won't work because they nominate OMF file names. Or is dbms_metadata unreliable?
I am having issue with configuring listner name on Oracle Server.My default listener is working,But I have stopped the default listener and tried to create another listener is differnt port,but no success,It always says The address of the specifed listener name is incorrect.Below is the listener.ora file
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 ?
If you want to upgrade these components, you must first install them, using the OUI, and then re-run the Upgrade Assistant. Do you want to continue with upgrade? Note: If you continue, the above components will not be considered as part of the upgrade process.*
Following is the status of the specified components from 11.1.0.6
COMP_ID COMP_NAME VERSION STATUS AMD OLAP Catalog 11.1.0.6.0 VALID SDO Spatial 11.1.0.6.0 VALID APS OLAP Analytic Workspace 11.1.0.6.0 VALID
Should I install these components while installing 11.2.0.2 patchset prior upgrading? I was unable to find any component installation on OUI.
Also DBUA pre-upgrade asked to remove existing UltraSearch from 11.1.0.6 prior upgrading. Though I removed it, but not sure is that going to hamper the upgraded DB, as I'm not sure of the usage of this component as well.
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 started restoring and testing all the backups. So far I did good and I wanted to restore and test in different host. I couldn't find any online documentation regarding restore full back up in a new different server (With same OS and same version of Oracle) without RMAN catalog database.
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 trying to install Oracle 10.10.2.0 on Windows Server 2003 standard x64 Edition Service Pack, but when i try to run the installer or open DVD it gives me below error.
"The image file D: is Valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine."
I was trying to delete the database in the test server. When i was deleting listener was already stopped, i continued deleting using dbca, it shown me some alert that datafiles cant be deleted because system could't find database, since listner was stopped so only service was deleted(the one showing in the windows administrator toolsservicesOracleServiceTEST).
All the datafile parameter files are still there. How can i delete the datafiles and parameter files belongs to that database or how to create the deleted service, so that i will start the listener and do the complete deleting of the 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%'
I want to install Oracle 11g R2 in windows 2008 64 bit server. How can I know whether my server is ready to install Oracle ie is all components are available in server or any patch is to be applied etc.
I'm trying to connect a oracle client application on the client machine to a remote oracle server on the server machine but i get a connection fail.
On the server machine I configured oracle server in the following way:
Installed oracle server. Created a database "DB_Test" with the database configuration assistant Created a LISTNER with the Oracle NET Manager with the following parameter:
Protocol: TCP/IP HOST: server pc hostname (ENZOVAIO) or server machine address ip (192.168.0.71) in the network lan Port Number: 1521 Created "dbtest" service with the Oracle NET Manager with with the following parameter: Service Name: "dbtest" Protocol: TCP/IP HOST: server pc hostname (ENZOVAIO) or server machine address ip (192.168.0.71) in the network lan Port Number: 1521
All services on the server machine are running and I opened port number (1521) in the router. On the client machine I installed SQL PLUS and SQL Developer.
With SQL Plus as by the official documentation I have entered the following command:
CONNECT username/password@[//]host[:port][/service_name]. In my case is: CONNECT SYSTEM/oracledb@//ENZOVAIO:1521/testdb.
With SQL Developer I have entered the same parameter.
But with both SQLPlus and SQL Developer the connection fails.
We performed image copy of production Oracle server (OS and instances) to a backup server. After a few weeks, we try to restore a latest Oracle database backup from production server to backup server. As we know, Oracle instance must be unique on the network.
Even we log on to backup server and bring up the instance, I think that still point to production instance since all init file, TNSNAMES.ora and listener file are still same. If we restore the database, we will end up bring down the production instance and restore on top of productions. How to change instance name on backup server including TNSNAMES, sqlnet, listener files in order for us to restore Oracle database from production to backup server?
I recently installed Oracle 10g on my windows Xp laptop. It has become considerably slow since then. I want to start the database server only when I need it, and not every time I start my laptop. I looked around in OEM and did found a way.
I am connected as System. It was the only user I set-up a password when installed the database on personal computer.
