We have sensitive data in our database and I wanted to look into Oracle auditing capabilities. Our install is Embedded since it came with the application we have. Any feedback is appreaciated.

I have an old program which uses cx_Oracle with Oracle 11g. This program is not portable as the user need to download Oracle 11g in order to use it. Is it possible to use Oracle database in my script but without downloading it, may be by using any online database?
Oracle software can be downloaded from the Oracle Technology Network, here.
If you want to use an online database, Oracle offers Oracle Cloud Free Tier, but I don't think it offers 11g as it is quite old (will be desupported soon). Also, I don't know whether you can (or can not) connect your Python application to it; you'll have to contact Oracle or wait for someone else who knows that info.
Maybe someone hosts 11g, but I doubt that it is for free so - maybe your best option is to download and install free Oracle 11g Express Edition (XE).
After reading your problem, What I understood is that you need a portable database. Since your scripts are connected to Oracle 11g with cx_Oracle , I guess you used SQL queries everywhere.
I suggest you to use SQLite instead of cx_Oracle if you are in a hurry. Both have kinda similar syntax for executing queries though you may need to modify some keyword.
To start quickly refer https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html
I've begun to dive into developing a desktop application with electron. I have been interested in pairing this application with a NoSQL database to create users, display data, and do CRUD operations. I've considered databases such as MongoDB and CouchDB, and I'm curious if creating a desktop application that communicates with a database hosted elsewhere is a feasible goal.
I'm hoping that someone here can help direct me to great resources on creating a desktop application that works with a remote NoSQL database. Any advice here would be greatly appreciated!
I recommend the use of CouchDB, which uses a JSON based document format. CouchDB bundles the server and data storage functionality in a single product, providing a REST-like HTTP interface for document insertion, updates, retrieval and deletion.
Therefore, you'll be able to interact with CouchDB directly from within the Electron desktop application. Apache CouchDB Nano is the official Node.js library for accessing CouchDB.
The following additional factors speach for CouchDB:
It is open source.
It has comprehensive documentation.
It is available for Linux, macOS and Windows.
It's easily installed and quickly set up.
It can be installed on your local computer (for development), on your own servers, or in the cloud.
It supports Mango querying language (inspired from MongoDB).
It is highly scalable.
It is shipped with Fauxton web interface that lets you create, update, delete, view and query documents on the fly.
etc.
I'm assigned to find a solution for an issue with connecting proprietary ProvideX database to a running web application developed on a OSX platform using PHP language. What I've figured is that if there will be a possible way for querying data from ProvideX, The web app could pull data and update itself with live data. ODBC is what I found as an effective and possible solution.
The question is that, is there any Linux ODBC driver for provideX so the web API would be able to communicate to ProvideX database? I know that there's one for windows platform since ProvideX has been designed to work with windows systems.
Any thought or writeup I could go over to find out more on this issue?
Don't try to go strictly through the ODBC driver. It works nice if you're just looking at the data in an ODBC compliant application or service, but for web applications PxPlus offers a different way to access the database. Look for PxPlus web server, which may or may not be included in your installation.
Good afternoon,
Anyone know if sql express 2008 version, the option of using TDE (Transparent Data Encryption).
I tried using it for testing and the server gave me the following error.
"The transparent data encryption is not available in the publication of this instance of SQL Server. See Books Online for more details on feature support in different editions of SQL Server."
Thanks and a greeting.
TDE is available only in Enterprise editions AFAIK.
As mentioned, Microsoft supports TDE only in Enterprise Edition. However, there are several third party products that will provide TDE to all editions and verions of SQL Server, including SQL Express. One of those products being ours: Encryptionizer for SQL Server. Another one that I am aware of is DBDefence. Internally they work very differently though: Encryptionizer sits between SQL Server and the Operating System, while DBDefence injects itself into the SQL process running in memory to change the behavior of the process.
Is there any Oracle database ( around version 10 ) front end that we can use in Linux, free or open source?
I am currently using Ubuntu 8.10 and if possible I just want it to need the thin JDBC to connect to oracle and not the whole (huge) client of oracle installed in it.
I use Oracle SQL Developer which is similar to TOAD (which is not free). SQL Developer is free and supported by Oracle. Make sure you get the latest version as they're improving it all the time. It has a nice graphical UI and support for editing PL/SQL stored procedures. I think there are even plugins for other databases (like MySQL).
Its a Java application and there is a Linux distribution, though I use the Windows version. It does not require an Oracle client, though it does support one, like the Oracle Instant Client, should you have it installed.
seems like http://tora.sourceforge.net/ is the opensource version of toad
also there is http://oss.oracle.com/sqldeveloper.html
Pretty much any JDBC tool will be able to talk compentantly to Oracle.
I've used SQuirrel SQL Client, SQL Workbench, DbVisualizer (free edition).
There's even plug-ins for jEdit that can talk to a database.
