• Being a new Oracle DBA

  Dear friends,
  
  Have a big question in my mind.
  
  I work nearly 6 months as a DBA and especially the my tasks involve using a certain application/tool that interacts with Oracle.
  
  It has everything necessary for the development of applications using Oracle. As the creation of tables, objects and so on.
  
  So to use pl sql, I need to use the api is available in this tool. I can't access or touch any table without these APIs.
  
  It seems that I'm investing and will invest more of my time in learning the architecture and methods of this tool.
  
  Is he running around where I use this custom stuff? I could not use Oracle directly, it would be bad for me? The application has Backup, migration, and many other facilities, but I do not use it.
  
  I wonder if its healthy for me in my career as an Oracle DBA training.
  
  Please advice.
  
  Thanks in advance.

  Well, something using something to your work is something else and tests/playing/making/breaking things on your own playground are something else. I don't know what else I can suggest except say that if I would have had been in your place, I would be attempted to replicate everything in my house on my home boxes and torn it hand piece by piece, forgetting what made the automatic application of the work place and how?

• All files generated by a coil in sqlplus receive ownership of oracle: dba instead of the user of the BONE started sqlplus and run the script. There's a file with users owners of BONES of the coil.

  All files generated by a coil in sqlplus receive ownership of oracle: dba instead of the user of the BONE started sqlplus and run the script. There's a file with users owners of BONES of the coil.

  Script launched in until OS user 'A' on the 'A' server which launches sqlplus, then connects to a remote database through a service of tnsnames.ora as another user of the database and the results of this script are spoulées on the server "A".

  The file queued on the old server is written with rw-rw-r: read write user, group read the writing, reading and possession header that is the user of the OS. The file queued on the new server is written to rw-r-r user: reading writing, reading group, public reading and ownership oracle: dba.

  "" The user then has no privileges to modify the file and continue the process of transmitting the file, editing and deleting the file for the next set of commands. This allows us to keep the possibility to migrate to the new server we are unable to process orders.

  $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus - s user/password@prd1 @./script/CustomScript/R12_OM_UFPC-oracle.sql

  Background: old server running 4.8, Oracle 10.2.0.4 OEL

  New server running OEL 6.5, Oracle 11.2.0.4

  Tested so far:

  File and update umask to 0002 instead of 0022 is now generated as rw-r-r. However, the property is still oracle: dba.

  Update of ownershipt of $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle.exe of oracle: oracle (edi added the user to the oracle group) and chmod 6751 oracle.exe. This created several problems where crucial scripts, that is to say of sqlplus failed to run.

  Added! chmod 755 output.file.name - OS user 'A' is not allowed to change to mod.

  Added! command cp MV output file and that generated the file as a user of the operating system: oracle. It is a potential work around in case of emergency, but the developer would have to rewrite the countless scripts.

  Any ideas?

  I have reproduced the behavior of the old server and am able to spool a file via sqlplus under OS user. No changes have been made on the remote database server. All the changes have been on the new server hosting a small 11.2.0.4 database on a server running OEL 6.5 32 - bit OS.

  (1) removed the sticky bit $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus using chmod u-s, g-s, o - s suggestion of Billy ~ Verreynne

  (2) modified the main group for the 'oracle' user match the user operating system applications, while maintaining membership in the groups 'oracle' and 'dba '.

  -We are dealing with here EDI processes, so the Group was called edi.

  (3) modified property of the files tnsnames.ora and listener.ora for oracle: edi

  (4) restart the receiver

  (5) disconnect / reconnect

  Script runs as expected, the output file contains the correct ownership and permissions.

  Thank you all for taking a look and offering options.

• Some doubts about Oracle DBA...

  Respected, professionals

  I am new to Oracle RAC DBA. Knew just CARS and have some doubts, associated with Oracle RAC databases and a few other s/n basic questions.

  (1) client connected to one of the rac node in the database of node three cars by scan listener. The node to which it is connected was dead. My question is - is that its connection automatically goes to the next available node

  without using TAF? Or he needs to connect again? I have to configure TAF as in 10g RAC? or the configuration of TAF to perform a SCAN is completely misconceptual?

  (2) a database connection request will be going to one of the node system of three-node rac (shooting technology in return for load balancing). How can I connect remotely to PuTTY tru particular node?

  Do I need to enter particular node (virtual host as IP) TNS in tnsnames.ora in my system oracle client?

  (3) we have a listener to scan with three IP for RAC 3-node addresses. If you add a new node, I need to create another listener with a single IP address scan? or do I need to add another IP existing scan listener? What should I do to connect again with existing scan listener node?

  My sincere apologies over the three questions are completely misleading or false.

  (4) incremental 11 g rman are speed, compared with 10 g rman. WHY?

  (5) how connect us using sqlplus. (No high level architectural decoration). I mean what happens when connect us to the database using SQL * more (SQLPLUS scott/tiger)?

  My sincere apologies if any inconvenience caused... I know this isn't a chat BOX... Please forgive me If my way of questioning is insulting and rude.

  Thank you

  Hello

  (1) client connected to one of the rac node in the database of node three cars by scan listener. The node to which it is connected was dead. My question is - is that its connection automatically goes to the next available node

  without using TAF? Or he needs to connect again? I have to configure TAF as in 10g RAC? or the configuration of TAF to perform a SCAN is completely misconceptual?

  If there is no TAF not configured you will have to reconnect.

  TAF can be configured on the side client (tnsnames.ora) or side (srvctl) server.

  (2) a database connection request will be going to one of the node system of three-node rac (shooting technology in return for load balancing). How can I connect remotely to PuTTY tru particular node?

  Do I need to enter particular node (virtual host as IP) TNS in tnsnames.ora in my system oracle client?

  You can connect to one of the nodes via PuTTY using the public IP node.

  To connect to a particular instance through SQLPLU, then you must specify the IP node-vip in tnsnames.ora.

  (3) we have a listener to scan with three IP for RAC 3-node addresses. If you add a new node, I need to create another listener with a single IP address scan? or do I need to add another IP existing scan listener? What should I do to connect again with existing scan listener node?

  You don't need to create another auditor SCAN.

  For your new node, you must assign the listener SCAN and LOCAL_LISTENER REMOTE_LISTENER must be defined on node-VIP.

• New to Oracle, would like to know the authentication process

  Hello
  
  I am new to Oracle. I would like to know how the operation of the authentication of the user if the database is closed and one instance runs?
  
  
  
  Naveen.

  Naveen,
  Welcome to Oralce forums/community. If you're new to Oracle, the first thing to learn is to start reading the Oralce documentation which is an excellent and free resource for learning.
  There are many methods of authentication that are supported by oracle. You can read all here,
  http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/security.htm#sthref2682
  At the point where the database is out of service and portion of memory dead it is to say the instance is there, no normal user and/or the dba user is allowed to log on. At that time, only the superuser, system is allowed to log on and it should start the database to other users to connect to it.
  For the user Sys to connect, there may be two ways, you can be using operating system authentication which requires underlying to authenticate your log in. The other may be using file password that contains the password for the Sys user and is created using Orapwd util. using these two techniques, you can connect to oracle as user Sys while the instance is available.

• Hi I am new to Oracle forms and reports I want to know the differences between the Enter query mode and Normal mode?

  Hi I am new to Oracle forms and reports I want to know the differences between the Enter query mode and Normal mode?

  Welcome to Oracle Forms!  Out of curiosity, what do you mean by 'new '?  You are a student or new to an organization that uses Oracle Forms?  Or just play with Oracle Forms to learn something new?

  Let me start by saying that many of your questions designtime can answer by searching in the help of the constructor of the form library.  It's accessible, like most of the other products in the Builder menu > help.

  Regarding your question, ENTER QUERY mode, as the term implies, is when it is in a State where it is accept input for the execution of a query.  When in this mode, there are various restrictions.  Yet once, it will find more details in the Builder Help.  In this case, search help for these two subjects, "SYSTEM." MODE'and "built-ins comments that are not allowed in the input query Mode".  There are many other pages that contain information about the ENTER_QUERY method, but these two should help you get started.

  Normal mode, as its name implies, is when it is in a State of 'normal '.  Basically to do nothing in particular, but also not in ENTER QUERY mode.  In this State, you can move the shape, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, documents, etc..

  You will find additional information, as well as a lot of documentation on the product page of forms of OTN:

• Oracle DBA will never offer 2nd chance for certification tests?

  Oracle DBA will never offer 2nd chance for certification tests?

  This time Oracle Sun java offers a 2nd chance for testing certification.

  So if you miss the 1st try, you get another free trial.

  Thank you Roger

  Think about that provide you a URL so that people can read the fine print.  Also certification of high-end Java identifythe which he made, and does not apply.

  Like any seller Oracle can offer carrots if she feels she will lead directly or indirectly, profits increased.  My guess is that they probably won't this offer on DBA tests... remember the historical lineage of exams have been through Sun Java...

• Am new to oracle ADF, what JOBS prospect within 3 years?

  Am new to oracle ADF, what jobs prospect within 3 years in ADF, actually am a form oracle developer and I would like to know if oracle will be good learning and good in terms of career...

  You do not you ask this in the wrong place?

  The people here are biased for JDeveloper and ADF. From my point of view, the chances are great!

  Oracle has announced to do more or less everything with ADF. However, this will not mean that you as a developer of forms are without a chance.

  I saw many Post of oracle in this recreational but after reading your posts, I'm really confused if I am following correct path.

  You're experts so wanted to be an expert like you.

  Please guide me a good way.

  Thanks in advance.

  You are not an expert just by reading a few books. You must have a hands on experience too.

• Language/tool I can use to develop some Applications Oracle DBA

  Hello
  
  I want to develop a GUI application. This application will help in the tasks of Oracle DBA. I want this app to interact with the operating system (LINUX), database (11g) can use JDeveloper to develop this application if not what application/tool/language I can use for this?

  You can of course use JDev for this task. Like you are a little vague on what it is, that we can say to help your application does.

• Which is better foreign language must learn an Oracle DBA?

  Hello
  
  I intend to learn a foreign language (for example: Chinese, Japanese, french, Spanish, German etc,) this year. I am an Oracle DBA. Looking for some suggestions on the language in which I should choose.
  
  Thank you
  Delphine

  If the goal is to make it potentially easier to communicate with colleagues, whose native language is not English, I'd think Hindi or Mandarin would be the choice (even if you'd probably high enough to clear before your Hindi bar was better than English your colleague). If the goal is potentially do it yourself employable in other countries, as others have suggested, it would be important to look at which countries you are interested in - Spanish, French or German are likely to be relatively common in different parts of the world.

• Oracle DBA courses

  Hello
  
  This is not a technical question.
  
  I wonder if anyone knows a good Oracle DBA course for 6 months or a year. A course of good value that anyone can afford and not just a company.
  
  Thank you.

  Is the course you should probably attend

  http://education.Oracle.com/pls/web_prod-PLQ-dad/db_pages.getCourseDesc?DC=D50102GC20&p_org_id=51&lang=E

  The above link gives you a good description of the content and goal of the course.

  Your site Web of Oracle University in Spain is

  http://education.Oracle.com/pls/web_prod-PLQ-dad/db_pages.GetPage?page_id=3&p_org_id=51&lang=E

  Check it out for occasional free webinars and other free content apart from the responsible course there.

  Prices are a bit expensive, it's true. But you hardly find the same quality and reliability elsewhere. Apart from that, you have to follow an Oracle University course as a requirement for the OCP review you can reach later.

  Kind regards

• Is there a guide "step by step" for when you're new at Oracle

  Hi all
  
  So just recently made my 1st database and I am stuck what to do next.
  
  I bought a few books and downloaded a lot of information on the internet, maybe too much.
  
  Is there a view to together, step by step, how to get the database in a State of operation, so I am able to do tables, views etc.?
  
  At first not too detailed, later I can fill in the blanks.
  
  Thanks in advance

• New to Oracle - interested in certification SQL

  I am new to Oracle and am interested to learn SQL, but have to pay myself, seeks to do this through Oracle books.
  
  Have you noticed that there is a review called Oracle SQL Fundamentals I, who has his own book: [http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0071597867/ref=s9_sima_gw_s0_p14_t1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE & pf_rd_s = center-1 & pf_rd_r = 0NNERWYN8T9PAX64B5HG & pf_rd_t = 101 & pf_rd_p = 467198433 & pf_rd_i = 468294]
  
  However, it doesn't seem to be a book for Oracle SQL Fundamentals II, although I saw somewhere that it will be published before the end of the year?
  
  This book seems to cover everything, but is for 9i: [http://www.amazon.com/OCP-Introduction-Oracle9i-Exam-Guide/dp/0072195371]
  
  Just a few basics:
  
  Which is the best db Oracle. Download for Windows XP that I can put on more than one computer, it is better for my sql certification?
  
  Can I take the exam SQL 9i or it is no longer used (can't seem to download from anywhere?)
  
  Can I take the exam at the Oracle headquarters or an authorized service center, without their own path?

  The book is related to the exam 1z0-051. I'm not sure it's the best way to learn SQL from scratch. However, since once you know a little SQL book is useful, though sometimes, some might say t make sure that you get enough practice.

  However, it doesn't seem to be a book for Oracle SQL Fundamentals II, although I saw somewhere that it will be published before the end of the year?

  Don't worry in the short term. There is a review of SQL, you may want to consider longer term (1z0-047), but which is advanced. ISBN-13: 978 - 0071498500 probably apply the material (but does not focus on the review... maybe it's a good thing).

  This book seems to cover everything, but is for 9i: [http://www.amazon.com/OCP-Introduction-Oracle9i-Exam-Guide/dp/0072195371]

  Just a few basics:

  Which is the best db Oracle. Download for Windows XP that I can put on more than one computer, it is better for my sql certification?

  Oracle is resource intensive; and more as it increases version numbers.

  10g XE [http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/xe/index.html] is perfect, EXCEPT that it is 10g 11g not and cannot indicate features of 11g but its greate from the manageability perspective.

  11 GR 1 material has a much higher footprint, but course has all the features.

  Unfortunately, it's a choice s one or the other. and historically the windows uninstaller can be an ightmare.

  I think that I must really be suggesting you look at virtualization - example: [http://www.virtualbox.org/] to run Oracle 10 g XE at first... but then again I am not sure if I'm over complicating things and have not tried it myself.

  Versions of the database newever and reviews using the SQL syntax that is no longer compatible with ansi standards more late especially in the use of the joins of tables in my humble OPINION.

  Can I take the exam SQL 9i or it is no longer used (can't seem to download from anywhere?)

  You can take the exam but its is no longer available for download. REF for example unable to download Oracle 9i database (any version)

  Can I take the exam at the Oracle headquarters or an authorized service center, without their own path?

  You can take in some centres of Pearson VIEW [http://pearsonvue.com/oracle/locate]. (1z0-051 can also be taken online).

  Thank you very much

  If you want some tutorials to practice simple SQL online be sure to visit [www.w3schools.org] but attention to other SQL dialects. This site is safe certification, but there are many who are not.
