Is there a way to put on tnsnames.ora the alternative IP of a server that if the first dont respond it tries the ip of the second? Example:
ORA92 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
try
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
except
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.0.0.2)(PORT = 1521))
end )
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = tsh1.world)
)
)
How to find out the database TNSNAMES.ora file if there are multiple .ora files with different names in Oracle_home/network/admin directory ?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to import data to production database. The database details are not in tnsnames.ora.
I am using easy connect method to connect to the database, since I am not able to edit tnsnames.ora.
Is there any way by which I can do the import ?
Can I do it like this
imp system/pwd@imp system/pwd@'(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=xxx)(PORT=1521)))(C
ONNECT_DATA=(SID=xx))' ......................
I have several environment that are physically not connected to each other (except network). Each environment has its own tnsnames.ora. I have downloaded every tnsnames.ora into C:\OraHome1\network\ADMIN, so TOAD opens connect dialog using the file currently named 'tnsnames.ora'. Every time I need to switch to a different environment (and to different connection string) I have to manually rename the 'tnsnames.ora' into something like 'tnsnames.ora.environmentA' and rename another 'tnsnames.ora.environmentB' into 'tnsnames.ora'.
This is inconvenient and time consuming task as I have to restart TOAD after every rename.if there is an easier way to use multiple tnsnames.ora without renaming those.
Possible to call a tnsnames file from master tnsnames like the principle of ifile in the init.ora...My primary tnsnames.ora has a lot of development entries which are repointed frequently, it would work with logistics if I could manage these in a second tns file and load from primary so when my dev instances are repointed I'm not editing the master tnsnames
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got to create 2 tables...
Table 1 include members of a certain club with specific criteria
Table 2 needs to include everyone else on the main database, not in the club, but with the same criteria.
So, ultimate goal is to have two tables, similar criteria, T1 = club members and T2 = non-club members
Table 1 ran just fine.
Table 2 is running and running and running. I'm looking for a more efficient way then the syntax below:
create table NON_club_Members nologging as
select distinct hcp.ID, count (distinct hcp.profile_key)
from mrtcustomer.table_1 hcp, Club_Members cm
where hcp.child_birth_dt between '31-OCT-2000' and '30-OCT-2011'
and hcp.ID not in
(select cm.id from Club_Members)
group by hcp.id
I've also tried <> and that also ran and ran and ran.

View 4 Replies View Related I am completely new to anything with Oracle or OCI,
Also, basic information:
Language: C
Oracle DB version: 11g
Trying to use OCI
I am trying to write a client that connects to an Oracle database and gets some information (obviously). On the OCILogon() step, I need the username, password, and db address. However, someone said there will be a tnsnames.ora file, and that should be enough.I've searched online and I have not been able to find anything that relates OCILogon() to tnsnames.ora, so here are my questions:
1) Can OCILogon() use tnsnames.ora at all?
2) Is there any other function that I should use instead of OCILogon() that would work with the tnsnames.ora
im used to using PL SQL via oracle. but lately ive been doing a lot of mysql and PHP and i really need to use something similar to DECODE in my queries. or am i forced to do the checks via PHP.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been told that I cannot use Oracle directory objects, external tables and the UTL_FILE package in my production environment for security reasons.
In this scenario what are the alternate options available in Oracle to write a file and save it in a specific location in the server. One of my requirement is to process a file and write the results of processing in a output file in the application server which in turn will be accessed by the online application.
For whatever reason, in PHP, DESC statements do not work. They're simply unrecognized and you get an OCI "invalid SQL statement" error. It may be some sort of security feature. I've also had the same result with the SQL scratchpad in the Java EM, but not in SQL Plus. Is there an alternative method for getting details on a table that I can use that also doesn't require being logged in as a SYSDBA?
View 5 Replies View Relatedwe have an issue when we are using sql loader with address at command line as below.
sqlldr user/pass@"(DESCRIPTION\=(ADDRESS\=(PROTOCOL\=TCP)(HOST\=host)(PORT\=1521))(CONNECT_DATA\=(SERVER\=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME\=sname)))" control=ctl_filename log=file_name
Ideally we need to include description in tnsnames.ora but its taking time to contact DBA here. Hence we tried with this work around. The same is working fine if we are using sqlplus but sqlloader gives this error.

SQL*Loader-100: Syntax error on command-line
our environment: ORACLE 11.2.0.2, UNIX AIX 5.3
we have an environment with many Oracle databases in different versions (v8, V9, V10 and V11). Besides that, there are many versions of the Oracle Client in use, ranging from V6 to V11. Many of the clients have a TNSnames.ORA and as was to eb expected, many of these are old as well with a lot of (by now) invalid information in there.
Is there any reasonable maximum size to the TNSnames.ORA file?What are the consequences from going over the max size? Are there alternatives to using TNSnames.ora which you would recommend?
I installed Oracle 10g. Then I created an instance. After the instance was created, I went to OEM to look at the instance, and noticed it wasn't turned on. I went to the network folder and noticed I only had sqlnet.ora; no Listener.ora or tsnames.ora. I put the files there, but when I try to startup the instance, the password and usernames I created with the database don't work. Agent Connection to Instance failed Listener down
View 14 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to use "localhost" in my tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files but for some reason its not working.
just concentrating on the listener, when I have the following in my listener.ora the database doesnt register with the listener:
########################################
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))))
########################################
This is even after using the "alter system register" command. I'm checking whether my database is registering using "lsnrctl services".
With the following in listener.ora all is fine:
########################################
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.10.152)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))))

So why wont it work with localhost?! I'm running Oracle 11G on XP Pro.

I am having problem with my tnsnames.ora file.seems the file cannot handle connection information for more than one DB. It worked fine in the beginning, after that, whenever i had to connect to a DB, i had to keep switching and renaming 5 files, with respect to whichever database I want to connect to. this is the entries in the file, for 2 D's and it wont work, with just one in each it works, but not for two...

I am sure, nothing wrong with teh IP/virtualname, cause with just one of these in the file, they work excellent.I tried leaving line between the connection strings for each DB, without leavin lines, etc..
Many moons ago, at a previous employer, I had access to the SQL Monitor tool that came with TOAD.

1)my csv file contain 100 records,i want to load 60 records into one table and reaming into another table with same control file by using sql*loader ?
2)how to load the alternative records into table by using sql*loader
I have a table with:
1 million rows
average row length 200 bytes
50 columns
and this update statement
UPDATE mytable SET varchar2_4000_column = replace(replace(replace...300 times)
It looks at every row in the table (no WHERE clause) and does these 300 replace operations on this column for each row. Each replace replaces with a null so effectively it is removing strings. Much of the time these strings are not in the column.
This update statement takes 25 minutes and it is 98% CPU and 2% USER_IO time.
I figure that is what is taking all the time since it is a CPU bound statement. if rows in this table are persistent over time then tag rows with a flag to show which ones have already been processed and skip these next time around.
My clients want to print the output of reports of size 25*12 and 15*12 in 11g and I am able to do the printing but the page break required for each page is not coming properly and because of this they cannoy identify which is the 1st and 2nd paper..
But in 6i D2K, there is the Live Previewer through which I can print without any page break issues.
My query is what is the alternative for Live previewer in Oracle Reports 11g so that i can make it right.
I need consultation on an alternative to a query that I wrote and seems very expensive.

My current query is:
SELECT * FROM TRY_B
WHERE GROUP_NO IN

SELECT GROUP_NO

GROUP BY GROUP_NO

which works but takes very long time with the real data as my real table is huge.
