What is the reason for creating the directory database in oracle instead of oracle could use;

Hi all

I want to know why oracle gave the concept of directory as a database object while a file on the operating system can be accessed directly by this last full qualified name. as we use the directory object in outer table and expdp etc.

In addition to the above-mentioned security issues, there is the question of the independence of the OS.  By having the ability to refer to an alias that is not specific to the operating system, the application code doesn't have to worry about the physical (and so, os-dependent) mapping of a file.  Makes the code portable, which is one of the great features of Oracle vs everybody.

    The current Windows operating system is Windows 7. All new computers (except for netbooks that are yet to come with XP) will come with it. Most of the new computers will be able to do what you want without any problem. For the video-conference, consider buying a laptop with a built-in webcam.

  • What is the cost of printing 4 x 6 at home using Photosmart printer?

    I have a Photosmart c410a, with whom I love-hate relationship.

    One thing I hate it's the cost of ink cartridge. HP 564 is supposed to get a return of 250 sheets. I'm sure they have a way of convoluted calculation of performance with prints and notes, because I am never able to print more than 30 photos of 4 x 6 with regular (not XL) set of cartridges HP 564.

    Now, a 4 x 6 print to the Walgreen's costs $.20 if you pick up. It is even less if get you it by post or order a lot. My calculation of back-of-the-envelope told me that printing photos at home using this c410a greedy ink at least not make economic sense. A profit to pay the premium to be able to print at home, however, is that sometimes color Walgreen is really off - on average, c410a produces much better colors - and if can fix immediately if the trace does not match your taste for some reason any.

    So, what is a Photosmart printer comes down to? Not a way to save cost visa-vis premium Walgreens/CVS but paying to be able to get a printed photo when you want?

    I can't try to get some info from c410a PS. That's what I could for the C510 PS just as a reference. I'll dig around to see what I can get for your model...

  • What is the problem with my Oracle reports parameter?

    Hello

    We use a PL SQL package that allows the user to select the report you want Oracle and associated parameters.   While the control is passed to Oracle 11 g reports.

    The requirement of one of the reports is to enable more detailed codes be selected by the user and then shown.  The detailed code is an alphanumeric field that can hold between 4 and 6 characters.

    If my data model looks like this

    SELECT student_id

        FROM my_view

       WHERE detail_code IN :p_detail_code;

    and the parameter that I'm passing to Oracle reports looks like this (when I view the source HTML code)

    & p_detail_code =('1001','1002')

    so no record is selected.

    However, if my data model looks like this, I get the records you want:

    SELECT student_id

      FROM my_view

    WHERE detail_code IN ('1001', '1002');

    We have Oracle Database 11 g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.4.0 - 64 bit Production.

    Please tell me what is the problem with my setting.  Thanks a lot for your help.

    This isn't how you can use in. See this example on how to solve it with the digital settings. If your setting is a character, you need to change this.

    In fact, when you simply enter 1,2,3 as an input parameter, you actually create this query:

    Select *.

    from my_table

    where num_column in ("1,2,3")

    Use rather a lexical parameter:

    Select *.

    from my_table

    & p_where

    In the parameter after relaxation shape, build the lexical like this:

    :p_where := 'where num_column in ('||:p_param||')';

    Be sure to distinguish between the terms and the database schema. Other products, make them bad. It would be a HR diagram (or a user, which is the same in Oracle). If you do not need to use the database Wizard, unless you are working with a new host with no database.

    A simple way would be to get the DDL to create the HR schema and modify it for your own. It can be extracted from your database in several ways, or you can copy the hr_cre.sql to your own script and change. The two ways are educational, and you can google for instructions.

    you could give me information how understand this problem?

    Thank you very much in advance

    Hi Wen,

    As you have created a new database 'gtxprod2' so the Stanley database should be in place
    cmd--> lsnrctl status
    That you have even made changes to 10ggtxinf/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
    do the same entry in the oraclebi/network/admin/tnsname.ora file

    You can check if your new entry is rite of
    tnsping gtxprod2 (>)
    Now you ask how the application will come to know what database to point to
    Go to oracle AS
    As using your forms and reports go to oraclebi/forms/server/formsweb.cfg

    At the end of the file, there might be a few entries
    for example
    [test]
    envFile = test.env
    Form = LOGIN_ENT.fmx
    LookAndFeel = oracle
    separateFrame = true
    UserID=nrs_fd/nrs_fd@fixdep
    SplashScreen = NO
    logo = NO
    Background = No.
    color = auto
    make = yes
    Archive = frmall.jar
    archive_jini = frmall_jinit.jar, frmwebutil.jar, Jacob.jar, icons.jar
    ImageBase codebase =
    term = frmpcweb.res
    baseHTML = webutilbase.htm
    baseHTMLjinitiator = webutiljini.htm
    baseHTMLjpi = webutiljpi.htm
    WebUtilArchive = frmwebutil.jar, jacob.jar

    "userid=nrs_fd/nrs_fd@fixdep" IE (username) / (password) @tnsname
    the following entry specifies what database, the application must point to

    If your using a war file, you must create a data source and as datasource, you must specify the tnsname input

    I will be grateful for your response.

    There is no tool tightly coupled with jdev. Tool of oracles of choice would be BI Publisher (I guess). However, you can use the reports jasper or any other tool to report as well.
