10g express edition ....reinstallation

I had installed 10g express edition on my Windows XP m/c, I could see go to Database Home Page from All Programs-> 10g Expreess Edition.
Had to reinstall it as we switched to Windows 7, I dont get the same meaning I cannot invoke the XE application now. Dont know what I did wrong while installing.....I downloaded the exe file from Oracle.com
Also I remember I was asked to enter an id and pw to setup a connection at the installation but NOT this time.
Appreciate quick help
Thanks

No Oracle product has been tested against or certified to run on Win7.
I am truly amazed at the number of people that bought Win7 and are trying to use a not-ready-for-prime-time operating system for enterprise software.
The Oracle database is not a bubble game or a word processor. <g> Really.

  • Issues during reinstallation Oracle 10g express edition and Forms 6i

    I've been racking my head over this issue for the past two three days. Exasperated, I tried searching in the forums but could not find a specific scenario like this.
    I am facing issues while trying to get forms 6i to work with oracle 10g Express edition
    i have windows XP home edition (installed service pack 2) and installed oracle 10g express edition as well as the oracle 10g express client and SQL developer on the same machine. The database started fine and I was able to use Enterprise manager.
    After that I tried installing Forms 6i and whatever i try i am not able to connect to the database from Forms though I was able to connect easily from SQL developer. I used to get the error 12154 "TNS:could not resolve service name"
    I dont know if Forms 6i expects the database connector string in some particular format. I searched on the net and found some people solved the issue by reinstalling the database software.
    My machine name was complex so I changed it as well and reinstalled the software. Again the DB was fine and connections were fine but no way I could get forms to connect to the DB. All the time
    I tried installing Forms to the same folder that Oracle express edition home in the hope that it might fix the problem. That only caused my database to crash. The oracle xe service shows as started but the Enterprise manager link does not work and it seems the database is down. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling client and server to no avail.
    Has anyone gone through such a situation and solved this ? Appreciate your help.

    The statement about XP Home is correct, but in this case I would say the initial problem (Forms and ORA-12154) is independent of that, it also happens in a supported environment. I think it's the old problem, a second Oracle home was installed, but tnsnames.ora containing the connect informations is located in the first home.
    Either tnsnames.ora is copied from to <Second_ORACLE_HOME>\network\admin or the environment variable TNS_ADMIN is set system-wide to <First_ORACLE_HOME>\network\admin.
    I think now it's necessary to create a clean machine (remove all Oracle components as explained in the database installation guide for Windows). Then repeat the installation , but XE and Forms 6i in different ORACLE_HOMEs.

  • Problem upgrading Apex 2.1 to 3.2.1 in Oracle Database 10g Express Edition

    G'Day Apex gurus,
    I installed Oracle Database 10g Express edition in my Windows XP PC which comes with Apex 2.1 with no problems. Then I wanted to upgrade Apex 2.1 to 3.2.1 (Currently Apex download in OTN) following the document below:

    Then to change the password for the admin account run apxchpwd.sql and when prompted enter a password for the ADMIN account.
    @apxchpwd
    with not problems
    Then I connected to SQL*Plus as SYS by:
    sqlplus /nolog
    CONNECT SYS as SYSDBA
    Enter password: xxxxxxxxxxx

    My database version is 10.2.0.1.0 Oracle express.
    Operating system is Windows Vista.
    I started installing using the following commands.
    @ C:\temp\apex\apexins.sql
    it prompts me for the values of sysaux sysaux temp and c:\temp\apex\images\
    If I supply the value for images the sqlplus window closes after scrolling a lot of info.
    Enroute it also prompts me for a value for 9:
    I don't know what the input shall be.
    Then it again stops at enter value for version:
    I used 3.2.1.0
    The window scrols a while and closes.
    later I changed the password and ran the command.
    @c:\temp\apex\apxldimg.sql c:\temp
    but no success with installation.

  • How can i create a new database instance in oracle 10g express edition?

    hello everybody
    i'm a student
    i am developing a database application
    i'm using oracle 10g express edition
    to run my application i need to create another database instance
    but i didn't find any option for doing so in that product
    if there is pls tell me where it is?
    if not pls tell me how to manually create it?

    yaa i'm sure about that .
    i want one more instance of database.Can you perhaps explain why? I have a fair share of production and development servers - and not a single one of them needs to run more than one database instance.
    So I'm interested in what requirement you are trying to satisfy by using two database instances on a single platform.
    Oh yeah - if you want to create a custom XE instance (different SID, different tablespace sizes, more/less PL/SQL stuff installed, hack standard), make a copy of your XE db creation script (in your XE's +$ORACLE_HOME/bin+ and called createdb.sh ) and modify that for your needs.
    PS. even with a different SID, only a single XE instance can be run at a time - you can however have 2 different ones defined and then use one at a time (e.g. testing international settings, init param differences, etc.)

  • 10g Express Edition on Windows 2008 Enterprise R2 x64 with Active Directory

    I have successfully installed the 10g Express Edition on Windows 2008 Ent. r2 x64 with Microsoft Active Directory Domain Controller but i could not be able to run http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
    Although i have run the http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex on my another Windows 2008 R2 x64 ant WITHOUT Active Directory Domain Controller Role.
    i think its related with AD Domain server role of my server, because i run that on same config and operation without Active Directory Domain Controller role.
    Can anyone help about this issue?
    thanks in advance

    I have experienced the same problem - running 10g Express on a Win 2008 (32-bit). When not being a Domain controller, the install was fine. When installing after the server had been given the Domain Controller role (+the required DNS), it failed. NO FIREWALLS are involved on the server. Seems like Oracle Express has problems being installed in this kind of environment - independent of x32 or x64 bit OS.

  • Oracle 10G Express Edition No Oracle Spatial

    I have been test driving 10G Express Edition. I tried to create our schema in it only to find that the mdsys.sdo_geometry datatype is unknown. It looks like Oracle Spatial is not part of Express Edition. Can anyone confirm?
    SEVERE: Unsuccessful: create table ASSET_REFERENCE (ASSET_REFERENCE_ID number(19,0) not null, ASSET_NAME varchar2(256 char), ASSET_URI varchar2(256 char), SPATIAL_EXTENT mdsys.sdo_geometry, START_DATE timestamp, END_DATE timestamp, COORD_SYS_WKS varchar2(256 char), primary key (ASSET_REFERENCE_ID))
    [hibernatetool] Nov 21, 2005 7:56:50 PM org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport create
    [hibernatetool] SEVERE: ORA-00902: invalid datatype

    Oracle Spatial is an option for Enterprise Edition. It is not even available for Standard Edition and Express Edition is a subset of Standard Edition
    Related - interMedia requires Java and that is not in Express. Although the Locator subset does not use Java, it is part of interMedia and therefore is also not in Express.
    We are asking Oracle to reconsider and add Locator, and possibly add Java as a post-install option.

    Having clicked the button, you get a window coming up entitled "Oracle ODBC Driver" with a yellow exclamation mark in it, with no other text in the window except for an OK button.
