Recently I installed oracle 10g and previously I was working with 9i.I noticed many changes and most intriguing was the pro *c++ was not there.I googled the reason but was not able to find satisfactory results.Why has oracle discontinued its support?Anyone know the exact reasons.
Pro*C/C++ seems to be alive and well even in 11g; Oracle Database Application Development. Though it is a feature of the Oracle client install which I believe is on Disk 2/Companion CD if you have the media, or you can download just the client installer from Oracle Database Software Downloads.

I am trying to connect to a client's DB2 v7.2 database in Linux.
I am pretty new to DB2 and could not find 7.2 odbc driver in IBM site. The earliest is 9.1 odbc driver. Is this compatible with v7.2 ?
IBM does not make such old legacy drivers publicly available, for good reasons.
Genuine IBM customers always have a way to acquire legacy drivers however, although this is wholly dependent on who you know.
The v9.1 ODBC driver might have trouble accessing v7.2. It rather depends on which fixpacks are deployed (client and server), which operating-system (for client), and what authorization level you have for the target instance, and what rights you have at the workstation end, apart from the level of competence needed. This is not work for beginners.
Keep in mind that legacy drivers may not be able to install on modern workstation operating-system versions (for example , they might need the workstation operating system to be also a legacy version).
Another approach is to have a detailed understanding of exactly how (with which versions and tools) the client currently connects to that legacy database, and then seek to emulate that mix of versions, possibly by cloning.
This is not a programming question so stackoverflow may not be the correct forum. There are IBM specific forums run by IBM which may help.
Currently we are using microstrategy as a reporting tool 11.1 version and using Oracle DB - micro strategy metadata, Statistics , history all installed in Oracle
now we are planning to move Db from Oracle to Postgres. just wanted to check if microstrategy support Potgres DB
Here is the list of certified and supported versions: Repositories
From personal experience I can say PostgreSQL v9,v10 and v11 runs fine as metadata repository. Tested v9-v12 as DWH too, all working without problems.
As far as I remember they didn't deliver the bundled driver in one of the MSTR-versions (2019-something), but that seems to have changed in MSTR-2020 again. Not a showstopper, but something to be aware of.
I am also running PG-11 as repo for History List too, but you definitely won't get help from support for this. OT: They even made me switch from MariaDB to MySQL for a support case (don't really blame them though, it's not certified and that's that).
My last attempt at running Statistics-Repo with PG is a long while ago and it didn't really work out of the box. Don't know what the situation is there. You might have to consider moving to PlatformAnalytics and/or MySQL(/MariaDB) for this too. EM only receives bugfixes from MSTR-2020 onwards, so this seems to be future-proof (EM discontinued from 2020 onwards?)
This mostly reflects our experience, the only certified PG version for MSTR 11.1 is PG-9 and only for the MD-Repo!
i installed SQL Developer on my MacBook
when i tried to run the sql code it says must create new connection
it required username/password
so how can i solve this
before i was using oracle database XE 12 on windows 10
but now i am using macOS and i see i cant use this software anymore (oracle database XE 12)
so i tried to install SQL Developer
Oracle SQL Developer is a tool that lets you connect to an (Oracle) database. But - you have to have the database as well (apparently, there's none on your Mac).
Express Edition database you previously used on Windows 10 was (probably) 11g (not 12; it doesn't exist), but it woks on Windows an Linux - not macOS.
Moreover, none of the modern Oracle databases can be installed on Mac; the last one was, I think, 10g (but - as it is out of support, you can't even download it any more).
Therefore, you could install a virtual machine on Mac, put Windows OS onto it, download and install 11gXE along with SQL Developer and use it.
But, why bother? Install VirtualBox and then download one of Pre-Built Developer VMs (for Oracle VM VirtualBox).
This question might be slightly subjective, but I am unsure where else it would be better suited.
I have used Orchard on a number of projects where the server was Windows Server based - integrating with AD, SQL etc to provide a MVC based portal - like stealing candy from a toddler!
I have been exploring MonoTouch recently, and installed Orchard on OSX under ModMono as per http://docs.orchardproject.net/Documentation/Running-Orchard-on-Mono.
It all seems to run fine, and fast, but I am unsure whether to back this on a commercial venture. I have always used MySQL or MSSQL as the DB, whereas my current install is running PostgreSQL - something new (which is always good).
Does anyone know of any sites which use Orchard running on Mono, with ModMono (Apache2) and PostgreSQL?
I plan to deploy to a cloud server running CentOS and Mono to do further testing before going any further, but think it could be an exciting avenue to explore.
I can't say I know of any sites that run Orchard on Mono commercially but I do know of a lot of sites that use Mono, Postgresql and CentOS. But if it works on a Mac running Modmono and Postgresql then it should work on CentOS.
The only issues that you may face running on Linux is case sensitivity. If you do run in to case sensitivity issues when you are trying out Orchard on Linux then you may want to configure your site to use Mono IOMAP temporarily until you fix an issues with case sensitivity.
This is a very reliable and cost effective stack. It may take a bit of research and problem solving to get up and running initially but once it's running it should be very stable.
I am currently near the end of porting an application that is going to be using Mono, Postgresql and Ubuntu running on Amazon EC2. I believe that Ubuntu is better than CentOS when it comes to Mono as it is much easier to setup and seems to be better supported. You can use the badgerports repositories located here if you want to try out the latest version of Mono on Ubuntu.
According to the answers in this comparison question, there's no technical difference between the core PostgreSQL engine and Postgres Plus server from EnterpriseDB. The developer license is only $95/seat.
Their development tools look quite attractive and that cost might be worth it to get increased productivity even if you then deploy the open source version. Has anyone tried this and run into problems?
The only development tools I see there look an awful lot like pgadmin III, which is free software (both in terms of money and freedom).
Were there other development tools you were referring to?
