thanks for the help. basically here is the setup.
i have 2 laptops. the first one has oracle 10g database express install and sql developer. i can query my database from here using sql developer.
now, on my second one, i want to access the data from the database that i created from the first laptop. i want to access the data from the database from the first laptop using sql developer which i also installed on the 2nd laptop.
i already tried the link from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/files/install.102/b25144/toc.htm but didnt work (or maybe i missed something important).
What from the link did you try to follow? Did you try to follow the information in the link i posted, specifically ...
"4.4 Making Oracle Database XE Server Available to Remote Clients"
Once you have done that. You will need to know the IP or possible computer name of the computer on the network which is hosting the database (it would be easiest if the laptop with the database had a static IP assigned by your router, assuming this is a home setup, and you use that for your connection). You will need that information to create a new connection in SQLDeveloper on the laptop without the database installed.
Aside from that you may have to deal with windoze firewall issues and the like, but that removes this from being an Oracle question, you should be able to use google to deal with any issues you encounter in that.

Connecting to a database from another computer...

hi guys!
i just wonder if there is a simple way to connect to my database from another computer?
do you have to change something in this method?

Remote connect to Windows Internal Database from another server

Hello,
I have a WSUS server which has Windows Internal Database installed. Now If I have to manage the database using SQL Server management studio, then I need to connect using the Server Name as \\.\pipe\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##SSEE\sql\query
Now, if I want to connect to the server that has Windows Internal Database installed, but does not have SQL Server Management Studio installed, then how to connect?
Please advice. Thanks in advance.
Rajiv

You can either install SQL Server management Studio or SQLCMD and then work with Windows Internal Database
Both of these are freely downloadable from microsoft website.
Please find the links for SQL 2014
Management Studio
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=42299
You can download one of these based on 32/64bit
MgmtStudio 32BIT\SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe

You didn't install Oracle correctly, especially you didn't run the root.sh and rootpre.sh scripts.
If you would have read the error message at all, and researched it, you would have known this.
Regrettably however you decided to ignore Forums Etiquette and to abuse this forum with Yet Another Doc Question.

How to connect to Oracle database from webdynprojava application

Hi
How to connect to Oracle database from webdynprojava application. where can we provide the code to connect to database.?
Thank You.

Hi,
You need to create Java Bean model. The bean is a typical java bean with default constructor, getter and setter. You can have additional methods for query etc. The attributes in the class will be your model node and attributes.
However you need to configure the connection and create JNDI using visual administrator before writing the code.
You can also consider writing Session EJB with oracle and using them in WD.

How to connect oracle database from tuxedo

Hi,
How to connect oracle database from tuxedo.
If any one can help me.
Regards,

it depends on configuration your going to choose, there are two ways--
- Using X/Open standards, for this
you have to make an entry of Resource manager in $TUXDIR/udataobj/RM file.
Then in UBBConfig file in GROUPS section u have to set Openinfo.
It also depend on which database you are going to use.
In your service now you need to call tpopen() API from tpsvrinit() function.
- Other possibility is, take an implicit connection using Pro*C or Pro*Cobol whatever platform you are using.

How to connect to oracle database from visual basic 2010 express edition

I have installed visual basic 2010 express edition on windows xp. But visual basic 2010 express edition supports Microsoft sql server database file,Microsoft sql server compact 3.5, Microsoft access database file. I want to connect to oracle database from visual basic 2010 express edition. So what drivers are required and how to do connectivity?

Hello,
I wasn't clear on what you were using to make the connection. I had a look in Visual Studio 2010 (don't have express to test sorry).
I think you mean the Data Sources available under the menu Data-> Datasources. this seems to match the description you give when I
look at the list of datasource options.
In here you can make ODBC connections via the Microsoft .net Data Provider .
If you select ODBC as a datasource you can see listed the DSN's you created - for example I see 2 which use the Oracle ODBC driver.
This assumes you installed an Oracle Client + the oracle version of the ODBC driver (comes with the oracle client).
Once you created a server connection then you should see it in the server explorer.
You can also download the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio which is an add on for VS.
** I suspect this is only for VS 2010 and I didn't see that Express was supported.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/visual-studio/overview/index-097110.html
Let me know if that helps.

Connecting to Oracle database from ASP = please help!

i have tried every kind of combination of connection string to connect to a 9i database from ASP but it does not work!
I am using XP Professional and have 9i Developer and ODP.NET installed but I want to use OLE DB (Oracle or Microsoft) to access the database. I have a feeling the web page is not seeing the driver. here is my code:
<% Option Explicit %>
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Oracle Data Access</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<%
Dim objConnection
Dim objRecordset
Set objConnection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
With objConnection
.ConnectionString = "Provider=MSDAORA;Data Source=obiwan;" & _
"User ID=user; Password=pass;"
.Open
Response.Write "ADO Provider=" & .Provider & "<BR>"
Set objRecordset = .Execute("SELECT sysdate, user FROM dual")
End With
</body>
</html>

Try using this connect string:
Provider=MSDAORA.1;Password=tiger;User ID=scott;Data Source=ORA92;Persist Security Info=True
substitute your username/password and Data Source here.
This works on Windows2000 with Microsoft OLEDB provider
for Oracle.

Connect to Oracle Database from Windows Mobile

Is there any Oracle Client product that will allow Windows mobile powered devices to connect to an oracle database? I'm using .net and the compact framework 2.0.
Anyone have a clue?
Regards,
Andras Eliassen

I think I would call it a client tool. Maybe I wasn't so precise in my previous post, sorry. What I need is basically this:
I have a 9i database that is running on a unix box on my network. I have created a Visual Basic .Net application that is using ODT to select, insert, update and delete records in this database - and also executes some stored procedures.
Now I'm trying to move to the next step, and I want my windows mobile powered device/phone to do the same thing - Select, insert, update, delete and execute stored proc/pckgs on the database.
The only way I have found to do this, is by implementing some webservice or something in between my windows mobile device, and the database, because I cannot find dataaccess drivers/components (ODT or the like) that will work on a windows mobile powered device.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Andras Eliassen

I am trying to connect to the database using OCI and its tns name. Also right now I'm just using the tomcat bundled in the netbeans ide.
Anyone have any ideas on what's wrong?

Why not use a type IV JDBC driver, available forfree download from Oracle? No
need for any DLL then.The standard Oracle driver comes with "oci" and
"thin" drivers.
Thin driver is 100% java.
oci driver uses the dlls.
What version of Oracle are you using? I am guessing
10?
Have you got Oracle Client installed on this machine?
(Stupid question I know)
What URL connection string are you using?
Does the "thin" driver work? ie url
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@[IP_ADDRESS]:[PORT]:[SID]"
Cheers,
evnafetsThere's another advantage of the thin driver: you don't have to have the client installed or TNS names defined for it to work.

Connecting to an oracle database

Hi! I am a student of Computer Engineering. I was hoping someone could help me out giving me options of could be wrong in my database application.
The problem is this:
I connect to an oracle database and i have a username, password and an url direction. Apparently the connection is fine, because my program does not show any errors or exceptions, but when I try to retrieve data from the tables I have in my space of the database, the ResultSet object appears to be empty. And I don't have any idea what the problem is, because when I write the select statement directly in the console, the database retrieves me the information I ask, but it doesn't retrieve me anything when I do it through my program.
I will put the part of my code that is causing me trouble... I hope someone can help me:
//this is the part when I connect to the database
public void connectToDB() {
try {
     // Register the ORACLE: oracle:thin driver
try {
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
catch (NoClassDefFoundError e){
System.out.println(e);
return;
System.out.println("Oracle driver succesfully loaded.");
// Connection
System.out.println("Connecting to the database... ");
     conn = DriverManager.getConnection(CONEXION_URL,USUARIO,
PASSWORD);
System.out.println("Authentification process...");
System.out.println("Access granted.");
System.out.println("Connection successful.");
//conn.setAutoCommit(true);
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println("Connection failed!");
System.out.println(e);
//this is the part when I make a select statement that doesn't retrieves me
//anything
public void consultaRecibosPeriodo(){
String nombre="",domicilio,fechaContrato,fechaExpedicion;
int importe;
String query = "SELECT NOMBRE FROM CLIENTE";
try{
if(conn!=null){
System.out.println("Entra a consultaRecibosPeriodo");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet resultado = stmt.executeQuery(query);
System.out.println(conn);
while(resultado.next()){
System.out.println("entra al while ");
nombre=resultado.getString("NOMBRE");
System.out.println("nombre " + nombre);
}catch(SQLException e){System.out.println("Error: " + e);}
}

Hi,
Before loop on your resulset check add this test :
if(resultado.first()) {
while(resultado.next()){
System.out.println("entra al while ");
   nombre=resultado.getString("NOMBRE"); // Is NOMBRE is a filed in your table ??
System.out.println("nombre " + nombre);
}skippye
