Manual and Clean Uninstall Oracle for Windows

Manual and Clean Uninstall Oracle for Windows

If you facing problems trying to uninstall Oracle from your Windows workstation, or unable to uninstall Oracle installations cleanly and properly, the following steps may be used to uninstall all Oracle products currently install on the workstation:

  1. Uninstall all Oracle components using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI).
  2. Delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE key which contains registry entries for all Oracle products by using regedit.
  3. Delete any references to Oracle services/components in the following registry location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/. Looks for key entries that starts with “Ora” which are obviously related to Oracle.
  4. Reboot the workstation.
  5. Delete the ORACLE_BASE directory where you installed.
  6. Delete the C:\Program Files\Oracle directory.
Warning: Editing registry may cause problems to your PC.

DATA PUMP

1)   Import 11g data dump into 10g

You can use Oracle data dump to export data dump from 11g server, and import into 10g using the data Pump parameter called Version. When you use Version, Datapump exports all objects that are compatible for your target version

So, If your database is 11g and you want to export 11g and import into 10g

from 11g db ,


$  expdp  Test_schema_name/passs directory=datapump  schemas=Test_schema_name Version=10.2.0.4.0.

Once the export is done, you do the regular import from 10g server.




2)   Import multiple dump files

If the size of the dump file is large, usually they will be split into smaller chunks for easier ftp upload/download.

If you are trying to import a dump file that is split into many chunks, then you need to modify the DUMPFILE paratermeter to include %U

Ex:  If the dump files are named EXP_PROD_1.dmp, EXP_PROD_2.dmp etc ,    then  DUMPFILE=EXP_PROD_%U.DMP




3)   How to kill data pump jobs

When you import or export using data pump impdp or expdp commands, the import/export is done by a job. You have an option to provide a job name using JOB_NAME parameter too

Following sql will give you the list of data pump jobs

select * from dba_datapump_jobs
If you want to kill your impdp or expdp

1) Make sure that your impdp/expdp command prompt window is active
2) Press Control-C , It will pause the job. Don't press another Control-C or close the command prompt. This will just close the window, but the job will still be running in the background
3) Type Kill_Job
ex:
 Import> kill_job
Are you sure you wish to stop this job (y/n): y
If by mistake, you closed the window and your import/export job is still running,

1) Get the name of the job using
select * from dba_datapump_jobs


2) Open a new command prompt window. If you want to kill your import job type
impdp username/password@database attach=name_of_the_job


3) Once you are attached to job, Type Kill_Job
ex:
 Import> kill_job
Are you sure you wish to stop this job (y/n): y

And your job is killed, it will no longer show in dba_datapump_jobs


4) REUSE_DUMPFILE :( Overwrite existing dumpfile)

This is the option with data pump expdp utility. Normally when you perform the export using expdp utility and if the dumpfile is present in the export directory it will throw an error “ORA-27038: created file already exists”. This situation happens when you wanted to perform the repetitive exports using the same dumpfile. Oracle provides an option reuse_dumpfile=[Y/N] to avoid this error. You should mention the parameter value as Y to overwrite the existing dump file. By default the option considered as N.

          $ expdp   scott/tiger   directory=exp_dir     dumpfile = x.dmp     table s= example    reuse_dumpfiles = y

How to get port number list of EM and isqlplus

How to get port number list of EM and isqlplus




You can get your portlist information of enterprise manger or isqlplus or others web services in the location of $ORACLE_HOME/install/portlist.ini.

On my system the output is,
bash-3.00$ cat /oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/install/portlist.ini
iSQL*Plus HTTP port number =5560
Enterprise Manager Console HTTP Port (DBASE) = 1158
Enterprise Manager Agent Port (DBASE) = 3938
Enterprise Manager Console HTTP Port (arjudba) = 5500
Enterprise Manager Agent Port (arjudba) = 1830
Enterprise Manager Console HTTP Port (arju) = 5501
Enterprise Manager Agent Port (arju) = 1831

But note that the ports that are listed in portlist.ini file were assigned during the installation. This file is not updated if port numbers are changed after the installation.

Oracle Database Link to MS Access

Oracle Database Link to MS Access

In this post, I describe how you can make an Oracle database link to an MS Access database.
When done, you can query from an oracle database onto an Access database.
 But with some little changes, you can do the same trick to a SQL Server database or even a
database type you like (to which you can connect by ODBC).
Important: The init-parameter GLOBAL_NAMES should have value FALSE. Check this parameter first
 before continuing the procedure.
In this example, I uses TESTDB as database name, replace this with your database/name/user id.
 If I mention %oracle_home%, I mean the Oracle Home directory.
This example is worked out on an Oracle 8.1.7.4 installation,
 but I suppose it will work on higher Oracle versions too.



1. Create a new ODBC link

  1. On the Oracle server start the ODBC Data Source Administrator. This can be done by using the run command: go to start/run and type odbcad32 and press enter.
  2. In the ODBC Data Source Administrator window go to the System DSN tab and click on Add...
  3. Choose in the Create New Data Source window the Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb) and click on Finish.
  4. In the ODBC Microsoft Access Setup window enter the data source name (e.g. TESTDB), the description (e.g. Test database) and select the Access database
    1. If the Access database is on the same machine as Oracle is running, you can ignore step 1.5 and step 2!
  5. If the Access database is on another machine in the network, you should use UNC-path notation. In the Map Network Drive window, leave the drive-letter on (none) and select via the UNC-path the Access database. Finish the creation of the ODBC Link and close all the ODBC windows.

2. Create Network ID

In order to perform a good connection to the Access database on another machine, you need to follow the following steps:
  1. Create on the network an user id (e.g. TestDbAdmin) and give this UID read rights on the location of the Access files. NOTE: use the appropriate rights, this depends on the actions you want to take on the Access database.
  2. Place this user, TestDbAdmin, in the ORA_DBA group on the Oracle server.

3. Create the Oracle TestDb listener

In these steps, some Oracle files will be created and/or modified. A new listener will be created, which will take care of the connection
1. Open the file inithsodbc.ora (%oracle_home%/hs/admin) and save this as initTESTDB.ora. Edit the content so it looks like:

01.# This is a sample agent init file that contains the HS parameters that
02.# are needed for an ODBC Agent.
03.#
04.# HS init parameters
05.#
06.HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = HORSODBC
07.HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = OFF
08.#
09.# Environment variables required for the non-Oracle system
10.#
11.#set <envvar>=<value>

2. Open the file listener.ora (%oracle_home%/network/admin) and add the following text, save and close the file:

01.LISTENERTESTDB =    
02.(ADDRESS_LIST=     
03.(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1522))     
04.(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(KEY=PNPKEY))     
05.)     
06.SID_LIST_LISTENERTESTDB=     
07.(SID_LIST=     
08.(SID_DESC=     
09.(SID_NAME=TESTDB)     
10.(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\ora81)     
11.(PROGRAM=hsodbc)     
12.)     
13.)

3. Open the file tnsnames.ora (%oracle_home%/network/admin) and add the following text, save and close the file:

1.TESTDB =    
2.(DESCRIPTION =     
3.(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1522))     
4.(CONNECT_DATA =     
5.(SID = TESTDB)     
6.)     
7.(HS = OK)     
8.)

4. Check the file sqlnet.ora (%oracle_home%/network/admin) if the following setting is correct (correct if it differs):

1.SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)

5. Start the new TESTDB listener with the following command (on the command line tool):


NOTE: DON'T USE A RDP (REMOTE DESKTOP) CONNECTION! Because of windows credential error. Apply this directly on the Oracle machine or via e.g. VNC Viewer connection.
Orahome\bin\lsnrctl start listenerTestDb
Starting the new listener can produce an error message, because the services uses the default logon settings (system account).
6. Configure the ListenerTestDb:
  • Open the properties panel of this service (can be found in the windows services list at the administrative tools)
  • Stop the service (if it is running) and edit the log on credentials to the user account earlier made (e.g. TestDbAdmin)
  • (Re)start the service.
7. Test the listener with the following statement:

1.%oracle_home%\bin\tnsping testdb

If the test succeeded, the database link in Oracle can be made.

4. Create Oracle Database Link to TestDb


1. Create database link to TESTDB (note: credentials SYSTEM/MANGER can be changed to your configuration):

1.CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK “TESTDB”    
2.CONNECT TO "SYSTEM"     
3.IDENTIFIED BY "MANAGER"
4.USING 'TESTDB'

2. Test the link with a count(*) query to a table on the TESTDB database.
If you got a number of rows back, you're done!
