Implement Curo (Omniti-labs) tools (PostgreSQL Admins) using psql

Depsez has Started a New project called Curo, which is currently made for Unix/Linux and is in initial phase.
So, I thought to look at how it works and how normal user, who knows using psql, can benefit from it.

Before Installing Curo, user has to make sure, he has postgreSQL client: psql and following package installed on his Linux/Unix System:
1. Bash
2. dialog
If you have above required packages on your machine, then you can move for Curo installation.

Curo Installation is very simple. Following are the steps which can be use to install Curo on Unix/Linux System:
1. Download the Curo from Following link: 
https://github.com/omniti-labs/curo
Above link will give you file similar to given below: 
omniti-labs-curo-48a4f31.tar.gz
2. Untar the file using following command: 
tar -xvf omniti-labs-curo-48a4f31.tar.gz
3. Copy omniti-labs-curo-48a4f31 to users home directory as given below: 
cp omniti-labs-curo-48a4f31 ~/.curo
4. Now configure .inputrc and .editrc file as given below: 
echo "\$include ~/.curo/docs/readline.inputrc" >>~/.inputrc
cat ~/.curo/docs/libedit.editrc >>~/.editrc
After installing Curo, you would be able to use F1-F8 keys in psql prompt. Some snapshot are given below: 1. Connect to PostgreSQL Database using psql client as given below: 
psql -U postgres -h localhost -p 5432 -d postgres
2. Curo Setup Screen using F1 key, is given below:
Pressing / will give you following screen for configuring the Function Keys F2-F8.
2. After configuring your machine function Keys F2-F8, you will be able to use F2-F8 as a shortcut. My machine's F2-F8 Keys configuration is given in above screen shot. Some more snapshot is given below: F2: locks Details F3: Current Activities on Database and System Load Average. Screen shot given below:
F5: Locks Information. Screen Shot is given below:
For exit from any Function key, user can use ctrl+c

xDB Replication from Oracle to PPAS

EnterpriseDB Replication tool has been now modified and add new functionality in it. Previous Replication Console, which had been made, was using the DBA Management server and Publication & Subscriptions were dependent. Now, xDB Replication has been divided into two components: 1. Publication Server : (Master Server) 2. Subscription Server: (Slave Server) Some Background of Publication Server. Publication Server has following components: 1. JAVA Based Daemon. 2. MetaDatabase of Publication Server. Publication Server keeps its information (Information about the Primary Database, Tables Details etc.) in the MetaDatabase under schema _edb_replicator_pub Publication server is independent and has no dependency on Subscriptions Server. By default publication server uses the 9011 port. However, if user wants, [S]he can use different ports too. For running Publication Server on different port, use the following command: $EDBHOME/jre/bin/java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar $...

Does UPDATE Change ROWID in Oracle?

Yesterday, there was a discussion which was going on OTN (Oracle Forum). I was also part of that discussion. Discussion was about the "Does UPDATE statement change rowid in Oracle?" As per my comment of "UPDATE does not change rowid", one of the user has pointed me that UPDATE statement sometime changes the rowid in Oracle and given me following example. SQL> ed Wrote file afiedt.buf 1 create table moving_rowid ( 2 col1 number primary key, 3 col2 number, 4 col3 number, 5 col4 varchar2(10) 6 ) 7* organization index SQL> / Table created. SQL> insert into moving_rowid values( 1, 2, 3, 'foo' ); 1 row created. SQL> insert into moving_rowid values( 2, 3, 4, 'bar' ); 1 row created. SQL> select rowid, col1, col2, col3, col4 2 from moving_rowid; ROWID COL1 COL2 COL3 COL4 ---------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- *BAEADxsCwQL+ 1 2 ...

PostgreSQL Database Link to Oracle Database on Linux

I have seen question, like "How to make Database Link from PostgreSQL to Oracle?", always floats in PostgreSQL Community Forum. So, I thought to do some research on it and write a Blog. Cybertec (One of The PostgreSQL Database Company) has released a PostgreSQL Module ODBC Link, using which user can make Database link to any other database, including Oracle, MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL etc, which have ODBC compliant Data source. Lets see how you can make ODBC Connection from PostgreSQL to any ODBC compliant data source and fetch data. Installation of this module is very simple. Following are the steps which user can follow: 1. Install the unixODBC driver on your linux machine. user can use following useful link for Downloading and Installing the unixODBC Driver: http://www.unixodbc.org/ 2. Download ODBC-Link from following location: http://www.cybertec.at/download/odbc_link/ODBC-Link-1.0.4.tar.gz 3. Untar the downloaded file as given below: tar -zxvf ODBC-Link-1.0.4....
