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.
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 am trying to install Oracle 9i 32bit client on a windows 2008 server 64 bit OS. In the installation once I select the Oracle home directory and click on Next the whole pc just hangs. Nothing happens. When I checked the Application log I see an error with the following information.
the application (Oracle 9, from vendor Oracle) has the following problem. Oracle 9 is incompatible with this version or windows. For more information, contact Oracle.
Is there a way to check which versions or oracle installed on the machine from command line?
The thing is I don't want to login to the database so I can't use SQL Plus also, till now I ran tnsping and checked the output but in case there are several versions of different platform I got only one version that was first on the path env.
We are running Oracle Enterprise software on various client and DB servers and we are experiencing a problem (outlined here [URL] .....) where the apparent mismatch between the oracle drivers are causing the errors.
Our db servers are using 10.2.0.4 and 10.2.0.5 drivers and the clients are using 10.2.0.1.
Firstly, are the drivers the same on the Express and Enterprise editions so that if I update a development server using Express version (I don't have the authority to upgrade the Enterprise version nor the time to commission that) and it is successful, can I reasonably expect an upgrade to the Enterprise client versions on other servers to be safe/error free, baring environmental factors of course ?
Secondly, can I upgrade to version 10.2.0.5 now or do I have to go to the 11g version only ?
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.
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 want to upgrade our database version (9.2.0.7) to 10g (10.2.0.2)
I know if I set COMPATIBLE parameter to 10.2.0.2 at first then I can't downgrade to 9.2.0.7 if any problem occurs I am not sure that our application can deal with 10g or not so I think it's better to leave the COMPATIBLE parameter to 9.2.0 several days for sure and if all things go well then change COMPATIBLE to 10.2.0.2 (I need to say that I can’t test our application in a test environment )
Now do you think leaving COMPATIBLE to 9.2.0 (after upgrade) for many days can cause any problem to Database ?
