Hi Rajiv,

Dear gurus and DBA. My company wants to give old computer at the local school.
We have the Oracle database on this server. My boss want to make sure that the school
not all Oracle data. Some data bank is and must be a secret.
The Bank's major customer and so exposed information, it means big problem for us.
Ideas you might have appreicated. Thank you.

DBAN is your man - even not God could get information about a Dban disk ' ed - get it [url http://www.dban.org/] here.

I have some work for a charity that sends computers in East Africa a few years ago.
These PC came from banks, insurance companies, lawyers & law firms - a lot of
potentially sensitive data. Much of the company to simply delete the
files, which, as we all know is not really effective.

The first thing we did with each machine was Dban them - no work allowed the
any PC until it had a sticker of Dban top. Never had any problems.

HTH,

Paul...

  • How to start the oracle database server and its client in windows 8

    Hi all

    I am a new entry in this forum and I am a beginner with oracle database.

    I always used SQL Server as the database, and it was easy to use after installation.

    With management program configuration of SQL Server I could to start service SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) and the database server start!

    With SQL Server management studio, I was able to launch the client application, then was to establish a connection to the server and everything worked great!

    Now, how to work with the oracle database?

    I installed the oracle server and client version 11g R2 in windows 8, but how do I start the database?... and how can I start the client application to query?

    best wishes in advance.

    PS: Sorry for my English.

    If you are on the same machine, the only service that you absolutely need to start is the database service.  In your case OracleServiceSYSDBA (hmmm... How did you find with this name?).

    For queries, you can use SQL * Plus which should also be installed.  If you want something GUI, you can use SQL Developer (you need to install separately I think).

  • How to find the name of the Oracle database server?

    People,

    Hello. I installed Oracle Database 11 g 2 OS Oracle Linux 5. The installed directory is/home/user/OracleDB_Home and/home/user/OracleDB_Base.

    Host name is "mylinux". Name of the database instance is PT853.

    I use "mylinux" as the name of the database server, it does not work. I use another way to do as below:

    Export ORACLE_HOME = / home/user/OracleDB_Home

    Can I use "mylinux ORACLE_HOME" as the name of the database server, it does not work either.


    My question is:

    How to find the name of the database server Oracle with Oracle Linux 5 OS?


    Thank you.

    You must learn the basic of database Oracle.

    Please don't regard it not same as SQL server in terms of configuration.

    You never specify the database server name in Oracle.

    You specify the host name in only two places, 1) Tnsnames.ora/JDBC/ODBC (or any client you want to connect) and listener.ora) 2.

    There was nothing called specify the name of the Oracle database from an oracle database server.

  • How do I get the name of the web page in v$ session table in the Oracle database

    We have asp.net web application hosted on IIS (windows) and the connection to the Oracle (10g) database.


    When I query the table v$ session in the database as a Jr.DBA, I don't see the name of the program as "w3wp.exe.
    coming from the computer host IIS (web server).

    Now, it is difficult to diagnose as session in the database that refers to what web page in the web application.

    If I have 10 web pages open in my web application connecting to the Oracle database, now if I wanted to go
    session info, when I browse the v$ session all it shows me what "w3wp.exe.

    Now is there a way to get the name of the web page in the session of $ v.

    (maybe he needs a few changes to the code in the application web asp.net, change in the configuration of IIS web server as well).

  • Updating of data base of production for test - how to clean the existing test env

    All,

    My environment is

    Test and Production databases are two nodes in RAC environment

    Oracle - 10.2.0.4.0 version
    OS - RHEL5
    80 GB production database size

    We need to update the database of production test environment. Complete objects, etc. need to be updated.
    We have a datapump export from the production environment. With this release of export of the production environment, I need to import in the test environment.

    So far, I imported with this kind of dump of the fresh database only.
    Now, we already have objects, data, sitting in the test environment. How to clean the existing test environment and refresh the discharge of export production datapump.


    I thought dropping all tablespaces in test (off system, sysaux, cancel and temp). But not able to drop some storage space, it is revealing that the index is available in other storage spaces, errors etc. of dependence.

    Which is the best method to clean the existing test database. Management is not interested in the fall of the test database and recreate.

    Why not just drag the users that you are refreshing? DataPump will create users with all the privileges, objects, data, etc. of prod.

  • Area of private use in the Oracle database

    Hello

    one of my customers have very specific needs. In this case, it has its own "characters". It uses Latin characters and certain characters. Their data are mixture of these characters. Their own characters are not in Unicode format and we have specific policies.

    These specific characters will be in the private use area, but I don't know if and how the Oracle database support unicode private use area.

    Oracle database support unicode private use area?

    And what sorting, filtering data? What classification is applied?

    Does anyone have experience with characters in the private use area?

    Thank you

    Fabrice.

    Oracle supports Unicode PUA you can store codes of PUA in a database AL32UTF8 and you can treat strings containing characters without special considerations. PUA characters are classified into letters in the Oracle database.

    Oracle maps the characters (EUDC) user of various character sets defined multibyte (JA16SJIS, ZHS16GBK, ZHT16MSWIN950, KO16MSWIN949, etc.) to the characters of PUA. These characters are also used by the former Hong Kong HKSCS extension mapping. If supporting user-defined characters in PUA is not a problem for the customer, they can use the standard plane 0 (BMP) PUA [U + E000 to U + F8FF] in their purpose. However, to avoid conflicts with existing maps, they should put their characters in plane 15 PUA [U + F0000-U + FFFFD] or plane 16 PUA [U + 100000-U + 10FFFD]. The downside is that the planes 15 and 16 require four bytes per character in AL32UTF8 compared to three bytes for plane 0.

    The classification applied to the characters PUA is the same as that applied to the other characters in a given environment. The order of the characters PUA in the given classification, depends on the type of snack:

    • In BINARY classification, the comparison is obviously based on binary codes. The order depends on encoding (AL16UTF16 vs AL32UTF8), especially for aircraft 15 and 16 PUA plane.
    • In monolingual rankings (which are not well suited for Unicode characters anyway) PUA are generally ignored in the sorting (but does not) than the characters defined explicitly in the given classification. Compared only among themselves, they use the UTF-16 Binary order.
    • In multilingual characters rankings PUA are generally classified after all characters defined explicitly in the rankings, which are characters from scripts (Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Georgian, Armenian) Europeans and, in some rankings, an East Asian script. Between them, they are classified according to AL16UTF16 (= UTF-16BE) binary collation.
    • In the UCA, the characters multilingual rankings PUA generally are classified into once all characters defined explicitly in the rankings, which are usually all defined Unicode characters. Between them, they are classified according to AL32UTF8 (= UTF - 8) binary collation. Note that the UCA rankings are new in the database Oracle 12 c.

  • Record great shape data in the Oracle database

    Hi all

    I have a question as to how we store a large xml for example more than 10000 bytes in the oracle database. I tried to use varchar, but the length is limited to only 4000 bytes. Could someone let me know how to achieve this.

    Basically what I'm doing is in adobe livecycle workflow I will get the user entered data in the form as formData (xml) variable and I want to keep the same for any future reference. I need to use the same data to fill the form again in the future.

    Thanks in advance.
