• ShadowProtect backup Oracle databases

  Hi all
  
  I would like to hear from someone if you use ShadowProtect to backup your Oracle databases.
  What are your experiences and the advantages and disadvantages in using ShadowProtect like the one and only tools to backup and restore for Oracle databases?
  Can the potential of ShadowProtect replaces it commonly use Oracle backup/restore tools?
  
  The reason why I bring this up is because my boss has the idea that ShadowProtect is THE best backup and restore tools. Personally I don't think, because there may be cases where we only need to recover the database and not the whole OS. So need to hear more from you guys.
  
  
  Thank you.

  Given the complexity of the backup and recovery of an Oracle database, I wouldn't trust anything, but the solution of the Oracle, rman. BTW, you already paid for rman. BTW, I've been known to quietly to apply my own backups rman, then let the solution of "business" save my rman backups. When feces enter the ventilation system, your final responsibility go/no-go is to recover this database. And 'they' (management, storage management team, anyone) will never accept that their backup solution has been insufficient or fatally defective.

• PDF files in the Oracle database

  First all the Hi and thanks to all the gurus of this forum to provide non-stop services to solve problems at the global level.
  
  I'm using Oracle Database 11 g - R1 with Oracle Application Express 4.1.
  
  My clients (end-users) can visit to download PDFs in the database via a built-in Oracle Application Express application.
  
  All of a sudden ".dmp" size increased rapidly from 360 MB to 2.7 GB and everything that happened due to downloading of PDF files.
  
  I want to know it's alarming for the Oracle database? Because I'm in doubt, users have a lot of files to download, Services of Oracle database that will / Performance will be disturbed by the increase in the size of the database or Oracle database server could be crushed?
  
  
  Please confirm. Thanks in advance.
  
  Looks: Mohammed Uzair Awan

  Performance may be affected.
  Backup time would increase.
  Backup space (disk / tape) would increase the requirements.

  There should not be a 'crash' of the database
  As you run 11 GR 1 material, I assume that you do not run the Express edition.

  It is a symptom of textbooks classic does not have read and followed the original instructions to prepare the downloaded files.  You should have two files zip files.  They both must be decompressed in the same directory.  If you unzip using Windows graphic interface - in right click on the name of the file and selecting "extract all...". "the default behavior will be to create a directory, the same name as the zip file and extract in it.  Thus, file_1_of_2 pulls in directory_1_of_2 and file_2_of_2 extracted in directory_2_of_2.  You must override this stupid behavior by default and specify the directory yourself.  And specify the SAME directory for both files.

  Or just go to a command prompt, change directories to the directory where the two zip files are located and deliver "unzip " and "unzip ", and they will both be properly unpack to a directory named "database".

  I had to go back and look at some documentation on our application server. If these steps do not work for you, you may need to click on 'Help' in your business manager and search for 'DADDY' or "Database Access Descriptor".

  According to these steps:
  1. connect to Oracle Enterprise Manager (http://finserv1:1810) - this would be the name of your server and port
  2. click on FIN_Midtier_1.finserv1 - this would be the name of your application server
  3. click on HTTP_Server
  4. click on Administration
  5. click on properties of PL/SQL (link at the top: application server: FIN_Midtier_1.finserv1 > HTTP_Server > mod_plsql Services)
  6. scroll the page to the Section of DAD
  7. click the Create button (right part of the screen)
  8. Select Type of DADDY of the general and click on Next (step 1 of 2)
  9. start to fill in the information of connectivity for DAD
  10 to precede the name of DAD or a location to a / pls in this example: / pls/findadgen
  11. username: enter the user name where the stored procedure (READ_PDF)
  12 password: enter the password for the user name that you just entered.
  13 Connect String is the database you want the DAD to connect to (the READ_PDF where)
  14. the connection string format is: TNSFormat because the connection string is resolved through tnsnames.ora
  15 get the language NLS value by running the following query against the schema/database this DAD is to be setup for:

  select value, parameter
    from nls_database_parameters
   where parameter in ('NLS_LANGUAGE', 'NLS_TERRITORY','NLS_CHARACTERSET');
  
  VALUE                                      PARAMETER
  ---------------------------------------- ------------------------------
  AMERICAN                                 NLS_LANGUAGE
  AMERICA                                  NLS_TERRITORY
  WE8ISO8859P1                             NLS_CHARACTERSET
  

  Enter the value in the form: _.< nls_characterset="">
  In our example, we have: AMERICAN_AMERICA. WE8ISO8859P1

  16. default Page: enter the name of the procedure that will be called if it is not specified in the URL. In our example, we use the name of the procedure: read_pdf
  17 Authentication Mode: the default value of Basic
  18. then click on Next (step 2 of 4) at the bottom right
  19. click on next again (step 3 of 4)
  20. click OK (step 4 or 4)
  21. your done. Don't forget DAD or any changes made to the DAD will not take effect until the server is restarted. Take the necessary steps to get this done.

  We then get an image with the chapters of dads who shows a name or location of/pls/findadgen, the user name, connect the string and status (green arrow - maximum)

• Oracle database backup basics

  May I ask, from a point of view, low tech a little question on the backup/restore of Oracle databases. Are there tools commonly used for backup of Oracle database? And have you ever encounter the snowman DBA / other places you have worked to make bad backups? I'd like to hear horror stories about what can and will hurt in oracle database backups? It is a simple process, or wrong - this easy ens at the end and things / featuring data etc.?
  And the second part of the question is if you're looking for auditing oracle backup processes, that you are looking 'good evidence' that this is done in line with the policy /strategy?

  >

  Are there specific reasons why backups become unnecessary, i.e. what goes wrong, when it comes to restoration, it is not restore.

  There may be two reasons. One, for example, backups are accidentally deleted, partially or completely. Another way may be the backup is marked as obsolete due to the retention or some operations strategy as resetlogs who could not leave the backups in use.

  I was also wondering how easy it is perhaps "missing data" when planning a backup DB with RMAN? Is this possible? Have you ever seen do, and if so is there any 'specific' part of a database that is often overlooked during examination of what to plan for in the backup task?

  What do you mean by "missing data"? It would be possible if you don't take care of backups that you plan.

• Retrieve Oracle database data and store it in a CSV file format

  Hello.
  
  I try to export a table in an Oracle database to CSV file with any Oracle adapter format and store it in a system of HDFS.
  
  How could I do?
  
  Thanks in advance!

  HI Charles. If I could use... Oracle Data Integrator Application adapted for Hadoop? For this purpose?

  Thanks in advance

  Perhaps. I must admit I'm not familiar enough with ODI to see if this is the extent of its means.

  You might see if there is a forum for ODI and ask your question to that.

• Convert flat file to XML document and store it in the Oracle database

  First of all:
  I have a flatfile and created an external table to read this file in Oracle
  Now, I want to create an XML document for each line and insert in the Oracle database, I think as XMLtype.
  Could you please give me some information/steps.
  
  Second:
  Are there performance issues, because every day, I need to check that the XML document stored in the database against the next file.
  Thank you.

  I won't tell it not in the same words that Marco used, but your solution is impassable and an invitation for bad things to happen.

  Wait miserable performance, and you will not be disappointed.

  The concept of total flexibility works up a code that you depend on has no idea what to do with what is playback.
  Will happen to enough short term and is roughly the equivalent of the absurdity of Java to be independent of the database.

  I would recommend you take the concept and consider, with your data volumes, something more likely to succeed.

• Target of hyperlink connects since the Outlook file in the Oracle database mail

  Greetings.
  Lack of permissions, I can't create text file on the UNIX server.
  This will not be changed.
  I saved the file in the Oracle 11 g database.
  
  I want to send e-mail to PL/SQL with attached file.
  No UNIX don't scripts at all.
  
  It's a big file.
  Thought has crossed my mind.
  
  Can I send e-mail to PL/SQL with a hyperlink that connects to the file that is stored in the Oracle database?
  The target of the link is a file stored in the Oracle database.
  
  Did anyone done this before?
  
  Let me know your ideas.
  
  Thank you.

  Can be done using UTL_SMTP or more recent UTL_MAIL.

  Attachments to emails are just that - the content of the file is attached to the body of the mail. Mail arrives at its destination, the mail reader recognizes the attachment and allows it to be saved to disk (or open/read).

  It's standard stuff... See MIME for more details on how to build a body of message with attachments.

  Can I send e-mail to PL/SQL with a hyperlink that connects to the file that is stored in the Oracle database?

  Yes. You need a web server that has been configured with Oracle "+ access +"-the default is using the Apache Oracle server which includes a module called mod_plsql. This module allows the web browser to use a URL that refers to a procedure from PL/SQL web enabled in a specific database schema - and pass parameters (as part of the URL query string) to the proceedings.

  You can also use Oracle EPG (Extended procedure gateway according to me, is what does the acronym). This provides a web server directly within the Oracle instance using Oracle XDB (integrated database of XML). It also has a module of type mod_plsql which provides that a web interface (via http) enabled PL/SQL procedures.

  This procedure can be a procedure "+ document download. Oracle provides a system procedure called WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file ()+ you can use inside this active web PL/SQL procedure. This will return the contents of the blob/clob as a 'file' in the web browser.

  For example, a download web-enabled simplistic procedure will look something like this:

  create or replace procedure downloadFile( fileName varchar2 ) is
          b       blob;
          mimeType varchar2(50);
  begin
          select
              file_content, mime_type  into b, mimeType
          from my_documents where file_name = fileName;
  
          OWA_UTIL.mime_header( mimeType, false );
          HTP.p('Content-Length: ' || DBMS_LOB.getlength(b));
          OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
          WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file( b );
  end;
  

  The URL will look like this:

  http://my-webserver.my-domain.com:7777/pls/ora/scott.downloadfile?filename=somefile.doc
  

  where:
  Scott.DownloadFile = name of the PL/SQL procedure
  filename = somefile.doc = name values of the parameter to pass to the procedure
