Oracle Database 18c - Install On-Premises for Linux

Image
Oracle Database 18c was available on Oracle Cloud. Now everybody can download Oracle Database 18c On-Premises for Linux ( LINUX.X64_180000_db_home.zip ) Oracle change a little on installation file. OUI does not copy files to Oracle Home You just extract the zip file to Oracle Home directly and OUI only linking binaries. I installed Oracle Database 18c on Linux 7.1. Before installation, I set Oracle environments such as (ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_BASE). You can add these settings in oracle user .bash_profile. You can watch my little installation video: You can also read all about the new features in the 18c documentation Best Regards Mahir M. Quluzade Oracle ACE

Oracle Database 12c Release 2 - Long Identifiers

Image
Prior to Oracle Database 12c Release 2 have a problem with long identifier name, for example, in 11.2 version you cannot create long name (max 30 Bytes) tables.  As you see, from screenshots length of  table name  column is maximum 30. Creating table with long name Table Name Column size 30 In Oracle Database 12c Release 2 changed the length of identifier names, and this change depends on the COMPATIBLE initialization parameter. Documentation says: If COMPATIBLE is set to a value of 12.2 or higher, then names must be from 1 to 128 bytes long with these exceptions: Names of databases are limited to 8 bytes. Names of disk groups, pluggable databases (PDBs), rollback segments, tablespaces, and tablespace sets are limited to 30 bytes. If an identifier includes multiple parts separated by periods, then each attribute can be up to 128 bytes long. Each period separator, as well as any surrounding double quotation marks, counts as one byte. For example, suppose you identify a col

Oracle Database 12c Release 2 - SQL*Plus History Command

Image
As you know that we can repeat our previous SQL*Plus commands in Windows CMD. But in UNIX based systems not supported command line history of SQL*PLus.  For this reason in UNIX and Linux, we used  rlwrap  utility to see the SQL*Plus command line history and quickly recall previous SQL*Plus commands. With seconds release of Oracle Database 12c coming SQL*Plus  history  command for the history of the command line in Linux. I want to share some example for this command: Before using History we must enable history command as below: SQL> set history on The syntax of HISTORY command as bellow SQL> help history HISTORY ------- Stores, lists, executes, edits of the commands entered during the current SQL*Plus session. HIST[ORY] [N {RUN | EDIT | DEL[ETE]}] | [CLEAR] N is the entry number listed in the history list. Use this number to recall, edit or delete the command. Example: HIST 3 RUN - will run the 3rd entry from the list. HIST[ORY] without any option

Each server and background process writes to a trace file. When a process detects an internal error, it writes information about the error to its trace file. DBMS_MONITOR is very good package for trace database, session, application, module... etc You can found your trace files in default folder : $ORACLE_BASE/diag/rdbms/SID/INSTANCE_NAME/trace Trace file is not more readable, you can use TKPROF for generate readable, text based file from trace files (*.trc) Read more about Application tracing https://docs.
