Consolidation of Oracle Database 10g Express Edition "Bugs"

I'll take a stab at cleaning this up. This is a collection of postings, reported as bugs, but not really bugs or difficult to understand/reproduce. These were filed in the Database General forum and they should have been filed in the XE forum.
Firstly, thank you for taking the time to report these issues and suspected issues. In the future, it would be quite helpful to everyone if you reported these in the XE forum.
1. Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Bugs
This is not a bug. The developer toolbar will show when you are authenticated to the development environment. You do not have to be authenticated to your application for the developer toolbar to appear.
2. Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Bugs
If data is present in the cache, this is up to the application developer (you) to implement the proper security which prevents this behavior.
3. Oracle Database 10g Express Edition  Bugs
This is a minor issue, at best. For this type of search interface, it is desirable to perform a case-insensitive query. Wouldn't it be a shame if you searched for "item" and it did not return results that contained "Item".
4. Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Bugs
This is not a bug. Different authentication schemes have different data restrictions. It is up to you, the application developer, to easily implement the data validations appropriate for your application.
5. Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Bugs
Insufficient information provided. You will have to specify what exact error message is arising and what data you changed which resulted in this error. A complete step-by-step test case is desirable, please.
6. Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Bugs
Duplicate of #5 above. And still insufficient information.
7. Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Bugs
Not a bug. This is intentional behavior. If I know I want to enter table name EMP, it would be bad from a usability standpoint to always force the user to employ their mouse.
8. Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Bugs
This could not be reproduced.
9. Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Bugs
Almost identical to #8. Please clarify what the expected behavior should be.

  • UTF support in XML DB at Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Beta 2

    hello everybidy! ;)
    I use Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Beta 2 Release for Microsoft Windows (dated 16-Nov-05) and place into XML DB XSLT-file (UTF8-encoded and contained some Cyrillic chars) and 10g XP can`t apply such transformation but when i replace cyrillic chars with latin chars - everything work just fine. Is it known bug? Can it be fixed by some reconfiguration or moving to Linux version of 10g XP? When will new release?

    Hello, Bhagat.
    I don't understand why you would install HTMLDB with apexins.sql (it's a procedure to install HTMLDB for 9i and 10G EE/SE not XE)
    because HTMLDB (APEX) is already install with Oracle Express Edition. Not need
    to install it with apexins.sql

    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.
    the output is as following.

  • Can't succesfully install Oracle Database 10g Express Edition on Ubuntu

    Hi,
    I've been trying to install Oracle Database 10g xe on Ubuntu 10.04 and when I execute the .deb package (oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb) I get a quick installation that doesn't ask me for any configuration settings. When the installation is finished I don't get any menu in my Applications menu named "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition" as specified in Getting Started Guide (I only get some items grouped into an category called "Other" (Backup Database, Get Started, Get Started With Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, Go To Online Forum, Read Documentation, Read Online Help, Register For Online Forum, Restore Database, Run SQL Command Line, Start Database and Stop Database). As a consequence I can't access the Oracle Database Home Page.
    In addition when I click on Start Database I get the following message: "Operation failed. josep is not member of 'dba' group".
    I've tried to re-download the packages and to configure it by editing /etc/init.d/oracle-xe but this doesn't solve my problem.
    can you give me some help?
    Thabk you in advance!

  • Oracle Database 10g Express Edition

    Does Oracle Database 10g Express Edition allow for more than one database to be created? If yes, then how do I create additional databases?

    Only one database per computer is allowed.

  • Oracle Database 10g Express Edition in a 64 bits Linux?

    Can I use Oracle Database 10g Express Edition in a 64 bits Linux? Thank you.

    I´m sure AMD 64 can emulate 32 bits, my problem is about the OS. I mean I´m not sure about the question: Can 64 bits RHEL or FC4 run 32 bits programs as Oracle Database 10g Express Edition?

  • Can we create new tablespace in Oracle Database 10g Express Edition?

    Hi,
    Can we create new tablespace in Oracle Database 10g Express Edition instead of using the default "users" tablespace provided?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    Correct. The sum of all user tablespaces is not allowed to exceed 4 GIG.
    You could try shrinking your tablespaces. Theres a script called maxshrink on http://asktom.oracle.com which is useful for this.
    You could compress your tables.
    If you are storing lobs, you could consider storing them as bfiles.
    Or upgrade to Oracle Standard Edition 1. Its not that expensive.

  • Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Beta 2 Installation

    Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Beta 2 Release for Microsoft Windows installation successful, no problems.

    Hi Rekha,
    The format mask 999G999G999G999G990D0000 is the format mask that I selected from the software itself. I also use this format mask for a single record update. If' s ok, no error, but with tabular form with multiple record update, it shows error .I also changed the decimal point to two digits ,select from software pop-up window (this was tested in the workspace provide by Oracle). It still shows error. Last test I put the space like 1 111,111.00 in a single record update it shows error (but if I put 1 in front of 111,111 without space it's ok-no space before). My point is from user point of view.In the first time user input 100000 the software accept it. Opp! it has to be 1100000. The user comes back after submit and put 1 without comma.It shows error (in tabular form with multiple record update not in single row update). While in the first time the user do not to key any comma at all. This may makes some confuses both the users and the developers which had to check error by adding program to checking some where in Page Processing or Page Rendering.
    Thanks

  • ORA-12505 on Oracle Database 10g Express Edition: TNS:listener

    In Developer3, trying to connect to Oracle Database 10g Express Edition give me:
    Listener refused the connection with the following error:
    ORA-12505 TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor
    Vendor code 12505
    Edited by: 873444 on Jul 22, 2011 3:23 AM

    SID given in connect descriptorSo what is the SID you're asking for ... the client in use may not know the XE tnsalias, especially if the client is not running in the same ORACLE_HOME as the database.
    The client needs to know how to get to the database- a `tnsping xe` reveals the path to the current ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/sqlnet.ora file for your environment but that may not be the same ORACLE_HOME used by "developer 3".
