We are upgrading from 11g to 12c and I was curious if Business Objects XI R2 will be compatible and if anyone has had any experience/recommendations in doing so.
I don't know if BusinessObjects XI R2 is compatible with Oracle 12c.
Even though, I'd like to share a personal experience. Some days ago we upgraded our database from Oracle 11gR2 to Orale 12c and BusinessObjects works correctly.
Environment :
BusinessObjects 4.1 SP6
Windows 2008 R2
Here are the steps I followed :
Dump CMS schema in Oracle (in my case, the CMS schema was called "BOCMS")
expdp SYSTEM/<password>#<database> directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR parallel=8 dumpfile=BOCMS.dmp logfile=BOCMS.log SCHEMAS=BOCMS exclude=INDEX_STATISTICS exclude=TABLE_STATISTICS
Upgrade Oracle from 11gR2 to 12c
Create (or migrate) your database
Install 12c Oracle Clients (32b and 64b)
Test connection to your database (I used sqlplus command)
Import the dump created in step 1
impdp SYSTEM/<password>#<database> directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR dumpfile=BOCMS.dmp table_exists_action=replace logfile=BOCMS.log
Be sure your CMS schema has the same password you set on BusinessObjects when using it with Oracle 11gR2.
I hope this will be helpful.

I want to take the Oracle DB backup, can you please tell me how to take backup using sqldeveloper client 4.1?
Is there any tool similar to Oracle SQL Developer for DB2?
I found tool called DB2 Connect but there is no free edition for personal use.
I need to use it for DB2 Express edition for Linux and Windows.
I read from the enterprise db website that only the Postgres standard server and advanced server support Npgsql.
But am not sure if
1. Npgsql will not work with community version at all ?? or
2. It is just that it is not packaged along with community version,but I can use npgsql to connect and work with postgresql from .Net
Can someone help me understand?
I read from the enterprise db website that only the Postgres standard

EnterpriseDB is not the same as PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL is PostgreSQL, it's not a "community version" from EnterpriseDB. EnterpriseDB Server is a fork of PostgreSQL, not the other way around.
And yes, Npgsql does work with PostgreSQL, it was created for PostgreSQL:
Npgsql is a .Net Data Provider for Postgresql. It allows any program
developed for .Net framework to access database server. It is
implemented in 100% C# code. Works with Postgresql 7.x and above.
I installed Oracle 10g Express Client. I have Apex 2.1 right now. I tried to follow the instructions in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf2HEtNmHmU) to upgrade to Apex 4.0, but when I enter my password in cmd, it says TNS protocol adapter error, so I could not proceed. Please help me.
Also, can I create an application in apex 2.1 with charts implementation?
You need to install the full Oracle Express Database (not just the client).
You could try the 11g Express Edition beta which has 4.0 already installed

I'm in charge of a Perl application that uses DBD::Oracle compiled against a 9.2.0.8 OCI client. This is on a sun4u box, albeit with 32-bit binaries. DBD::Oracle is linked against 32-bit OCI libs. We're currently running against a 9i server.
Our DBA team is planning to upgrade the server to 10g, namely 10.2.0.4. I'm faced with two options:
Continue using 9i drivers against the new 10g server.
OR, upgrade our client from 9.2.0.8 to 10.2.0.4 to match the server's version.
For various operational reasons, I'd prefer to go with (1) above. However, I am not sure whether a 9i OCI client can work with a 10g Oracle server. Can this be done?
Yes, it should work. Although, as you might already know, you won't have access to 10g client specific features...
I believe an Oracle 9i driver will work with both 10g and 11g (I know for a fact the Java ones do).
However, your best bet would be to set up a test server/VM with Oracle 10g on it, and test it.
