I have a script to create database link as following. But the script encounter errorORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
CREATE DATABASE LINK "MIG_61_TO_74"
CONNECT TO "ABC_DEV" IDENTIFIED BY 'ABC_DEV'
USING 'info001:1521/orcl';
Perhaps the are apostrophies confusing the parser.
This example by Oracle doesn't include them, try it that way.
CREATE DATABASE LINK MIG_61_TO_74
CONNECT TO ABC_DEV IDENTIFIED BY "ABC_DEV"
USING 'info001:1521/orcl';

In my PL/SQL script, I have requirement to test the connectivity of remote data. Normally, in OS shell, we use command tnsping. Is there any command in SQL or PL/SQL so that I can test connectivity.
Basically, I am getting some data using database link. I want my script to execute immediately. If remote database is available then I want to run query using database link. If remote database is unavailable then I want to skip the getting of data using database link. So, this is the reason why I am looking for.
Kindly guide me for proper way. So, that my script does not hang in case of unavailability of remote database.
I am using Oracle 12.1C.
I would like to use Oracle database instead of MySQL in Joomla. Is this possible with Joomla, is there a workaround or a solution on how to implement Oracle database with Joomla? Any information will be greatly appreciated.
It is said that it can be done, but it is not a job for beginners and took those guys 3 working days to do it.
Here's why that combination doesn't work by default:
The database and table creation script does not work without modification.
The connection and the database class are written to connect to MySQL and not to Oracle (so they all use MySQL functions).
Some of the extensions use native MySQL functions directly, instead of connecting using the Joomla Database interface (class).
This is what they did to make it work:
We fix the SQL installation script to accommodate the Oracle database in case of a new installation. In case of an existing installation, we export all the database, as well as its data to a SQL file, and then we modify the SQL file (using find and replace) to make it work with an Oracle database.
We load the modified installation file or the modified exported SQL file into the Oracle database.
We then create a copy of the Joomla database class, and then we modify all the functions to work with Oracle instead of MySQL.
We ensure that the Oracle drivers are properly installed and loaded by the php.ini file.
We rename the original MySQL database (you will know in the next step why) to something like database_name_old.
We switch to the new database class and fully test the website to see if some extensions are not working. If an extension ceases to work then it is a sign that this extensions is calling the original MySQL database (which no longer exists because it was renamed) directly.
Hopefully, you aren't a beginner and those guidelines will help you do it. Otherwise, check how much it might cost by visiting the page.
I have an assignment in a class which requires the transfering of data from tables in one schema to another using the sqlldr tool. I have set up my control files, and text files(.csv files if you prefer) in order to transfer the data using sqlldr. Now I am using ORACLE 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0. I am all ready to go but when I type in the sqlldr command, or event just "sqlldr" I get the unknown command message. Am i just completely off or does this mean this utility isnt available on this version? I have the ingredients needed to make it happen but I cant figure out why I cant get sqlldr to run. Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction. Below is the specific syntax we were given in class.
sqlldr username/password control=loadsals.ctl
The user you are logged in under does not have access to SQLLDR. You will need to elevate your access via sudo or use another login that does have access.
I am using SQL Developer 1.5.5 and I need to export some tables from an Oracle 11g database to an xls file. I have tried using spool, but I cannot put in a stored procedure as error comes up. Is there some other alternative to do this?
I am trying to create reports from data base by executing the procedure.
Thanks.
Anton Scheffer (from AMIS.NL) wrote an APEX plugin to load Oracle data into a Excel file. It works very well and it can be used alone (without APEX) with a additional work.
Check out: http://technology.amis.nl/2011/02/19/create-an-excel-file-with-plsql/
You can also use SQLX (see http://technology.amis.nl/2006/01/20/generate-anative-excel-file-with-sqlx/) but it could be very complex depending on what you ha
This came up once before: Use DataContext.CreateDatabase in SQL Azure
The answer accepted was "maybe it's not possible". Didn't seem like a full answer.
I have a set of classes fully defined and I am wanting to create a database on Azure for this. It's not working because the USE statement does not work: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ee336288.aspx
So, the database gets created as blank, and internally Linq generates a USE statement to move to that database and start adding tables. This fails and it throws an exception.
So how can I create my database? Can I use Linq to add tables to an existing database? Can I enable USE on Azure somehow? Seems ridiculous this does not work.
After messing around for a while on this, I ended up creating the database against a local SQL Server instance. Then used SQL Server Management Studio -> Tasks -> Script Database, and turned on the export type to be Microsoft Azure. Then I had the script file needed to run on the Azure server. I'll leave the question open for a day or two because I am curious if this can work with Azure directly somehow. If I don't hear anything, I will close it.
The USE statement does not switch between databases in Azure SQL Database. You will have to connect to the database to create a table on that database.
