How to access Oracle database using UNIX?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to access Oracle database Oracle 8i that is hosted on unix server via unix command line?
Thanks,
Willy

Well, Oracle probably has a command line tool. I think it's called sqlplus or somesuch. Check you Oracle docs.
Of course, given that this is a Java forum, it's remotely possible that you're actually asking about accessing the database from a Java program.

    hi all,
    I want to know how to access remote database using applet,
    Please help me anybody.
    Regards

    If the database is on a public server, you probably can't access it directly (security wise). You can make your applet talk to a server-side application, which makes the database calls on behalf of the applet. But even in an intranet environment this setup is often preferable, because you don't need to distribute a JDBC driver to all your clients.

  • How to connect Oracle database using C/C++ on Mac OS X PPC G4, XCode 2.4.1?

    Hi All,
    How to connect the Oracle database using C/C++ on Mac OS X? I have used Instant Client library "instantclient-basic-macosx-10.1.0.3" provided by the Oracle but could not be success. I'm using PowerPC G4, Mac OS X 10.4.9, and XCode version 2.4.1.
    Specially Mr Oscar Armanini has done this in C on Mac OS X. Please let me know. I would be very thankful to you.
    Thanks,

    Hi Ghufran
    there are two Metalink Notes on using Instant Client with PowerPc Mac:

    How to Install, Configure and Test Oracle 10g Instant Client Basic,

    (Runs OCCI sample code - occidml.cpp)
    The first Metalink Note uses an OCI examples and it is pasted here below,
    in case you don't have a Metalink ID.
    The second Metalink Note uses an OCCI example.
    I have never used Instant Client (neither on Os X or on other platform),
    but I was successful on compiling C programs (no GUI involved) using the
    Full Client installed on my PowerBook G4.
    I'm a DBA, but I was a developer years ago (about when Oracle 7.3
    was considered a giant step forward): I installed the Oracle 10.1 db
    (a complicated job for a developer) and I got the Full Client
    installed as well, for free, so I was happy to compile one of the demo C sources
    (those that you can find in the Oracle Pro*C manuals:
    by the way, Oracle Pro*C manuals are really worth reading).
    Good luck

    Applies to: Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 10.1.0.3
    Apple Macintosh PowerPC
    Goal
    This article will show you how to install and configure your 10g Instant Client (IC) Software for the Mac.
    It will install the following packages:
    the Basic package
    the SQL*Plus package and
    the SDK package
    and then test its connectivity to an Oracle database using SQL*Plus.
    It will also show you how to setup and test a sample program, cdemo81.c, that uses the Oracle Call Interface (OCI)
    to connect to the database.
    The sample program is located under the <Instant_Client>/sdk/demo directory.
    Solution1. Download the following three (3) files from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) website.
    You will need an account to do this.
    Macintosh OS X 10g Instant Client Software
    a. instantclient-basic-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip (32,395,622 bytes)
    b. instantclient-sqlplus-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip (326,740 bytes)
    c. instantclient-sdk-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip (293,913 bytes)
    NOTE: The above three (3) files will be updated as new patches are released for the 10g Instant Client software. 10.1.0.3 or later versions (10.1.0.x) of these files may be used similarly with this article.
    2. Save the following text into a file called tnsnames.ora:
    # If you receive an
    # ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
    # error when running the setup script and attempting to connect to Oracle
    # from SQL*Plus then the name of your SERVICE NAME (i.e. ORCL) may require
    # that you include the DOMAIN (i.e. US.ORACLE.COM) in order to connect successfully.
    # To obtain the DOMAIN of your environment, type "hostname" from your shell
    # and it should report this information back to you. Configure your SERVICE
    # NAME to look like Example 2.
    # Example 1
    ORCL =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = database_machine.us.oracle.com)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SID = orcl)
    # Example 2
    #ORCL.US.ORACLE.COM =
    # (DESCRIPTION =
    # (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = database_machine.us.oracle.com)(PORT = 1521))
    # (CONNECT_DATA =
    # (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    # (SID = orcl)
    3. Save the following text into a file called sqlplus_script.sql:
    SELECT user FROM dual;
    SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
    SELECT 'successful ' AS TEST_RESULTS FROM dual;
    exit;
    4. Save the following text into a file called setup1:
    # ===========================================
    # MAC OS X INSTANT CLIENT 10g SCRIPT - SETUP1
    # ===========================================
    # DESCRIPTION
    # ===========

    # and then test its connectivity to an Oracle database using SQL*Plus.
    # Once this script has completed, you will need to run the script SETUP2 to build
    # and run the CDEMO81.C sample application located under the <IC>/sdk/demo folder
    # in your newly installed Instant Client home.
    # NOTE: In order for this script to run successfully, you MUST perform any
    # necessary actions required under the SETUP section below.

    # ===========================================
    # MAC OS X INSTANT CLIENT 10g SCRIPT - SETUP2
    # ===========================================
    # DESCRIPTION
    # ===========
    # This script will build and run the OCI sample application CDEMO81.C inside
    # your Instant Client (IC) software located under the <IC>/sdk/demo folder.
    # NOTE: In order for this script to run successfully
    # (A) you MUST have already run the script SETUP1 successfully
    # and
    # (B) you MUST perform any necessary actions required under the SETUP
    # section below.
    # SETUP
    # =====
    # (1) You need to edit the CDEMO81.C application PRIOR to running this script to
    # change the connection information. By default, the application will attempt
    # to connect as user SCOTT with password TIGER to a local Oracle database using
    # the BEQ-LOCAL network protocol. This will not work.
    # (A) You need to make sure you have the SCOTT/TIGER schema created in your database.
    # If not, have your DBA create it by running the script "SCOTT.SQL" from your
    # <ORACLE_HOME>/rdbms/admin folder.
    # (B) You need to modify the CDEMO81.C application to connect to the database
    # you have configured inside your TNSNAMES.ORA file.
    # (i) Open the CDEMO81.C file located under the <IC>/sdk/demo folder.
    # (ii) Find the following line of code:
    # (void) OCIServerAttach( srvhp, errhp, (text *)"", strlen(""), 0);
    # and change the two empty strings to the SERVICE NAME you are using like so
    # (void) OCIServerAttach( srvhp, errhp, (text *)"ORCL", strlen("ORCL"), 0);
    # (iii) Save the file.
    # (2) You MUST be in the initial directory where you copied all of the files listed
    # in script SETUP1. In this same location you will find SETUP2. Run SETUP2 from
    # this location.
    # (3) To run this script use the command: ". setup2"

    6. Take all seven (7) files and move them into the same directory on your OS where you want to install the Instant Client software from:
    1 - instantclient-basic-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip
    2 - instantclient-sqlplus-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip
    3 - instantclient-sdk-macosx-10.1.0.3.zip
    4 - tnsnames.ora
    5 - sqlplus_script.sql
    6 - setup1
    7 - setup2
    7. Open the file tnsnames.ora. Be sure to review the comments in this file. You will have to change the following information to connect to a database on your network:
    SERVICE NAME (orcl or orcl.us.oracle.com)
    HOST (database_machine.us.oracle.com)
    PORT (1521)
    SID (orcl)
    Save the file.
    8. Open the file setup1, go to the end of this script and modify the following line:
    ./instantclient10_1/sqlplus scott/tiger@orcl @sqlplus_script.sql
    Replace orcl with the SERVICE NAME you used in Step 7 above. Save the file.
    9. You are now ready to install the 10g Instant Client software for Mac OS X. From the location where your seven (7) files reside, issue the following command:
    [macosx]/oracle> . setup1
    NOTE: Be sure to include the period "." and a space " " before the word "setup1" so all environment variables persist for the current session.
    This will install the Instant Client Basic and SQL*Plus software and connect to the database specified in the tnsnames.ora file.
    10. Here is the sample output of a successful execution of the setup1 script:
    [macosx]/oracle> . setup1
    MAC OS X INSTANT CLIENT 10g SCRIPT - SETUP1

  • How to connect oracle database using DSN  from jsp

    Using odbc tool i have created the dsn name but ithe connection does not make .here is the code that i have tried
    Connection connection = null;
         try
              Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");

              out.println("connection getted");
         catch(Exception exception1)
              out.println("error occoured ");
    pls help as soon as possible
    Sorry, for my english

    you are actually using JDBC so the DSN entry does not matter.
    2 things.
    Make sure that your oracle database driver is in your classpath on your tomcat server.
    I.E. copy the file classes12.jar into your common/lib folder of tomcat, or into your WEB-INF/lib folder of your application. and RESTART your server. classes12.jar can be found on the internet or more easily somewhere within your oracle installation. just search for it.
    Make sure your jdbc url is correct. I believe it goes like this.... fill in the blacks
    connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:scott/tiger@MyOracleHost:1521:MyDB");Note how the username are passed in the first string there fore there is no need to pass additional parameters. This method may be depriciated, but if so, just take out the user and pass from the string and continue to pass them as 3 seperate strings.
    connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:MyOracleHost:1521:MyDB","scott","tiger");That should get your connection. if not, post your errors.

  • How to access Oracle database with perl ?

    Hi Anyone/Everyone,
    This may not be the best place to post this, but I don't know where else to get help.
    Basically I have some sql I need to run on an Oracle db on Unix, but I need to run it from NT.
    There are a number of perl modules that I think may of use, ie. DBI, DBD::Oracle, etc.
    but I don't know how to use them.
    Can someone show me what to, please ? Examples would be good.
    I have very little experience with this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    See this link at otn.technet.oracle.com It has several perl scripts which interact with the Oracle Database.
    Hope this helps,
    Cheeka

    Regards,
    SumantaIf you have a listener on host BLRD025AL1, and that listener knows about a service named 'sumanta', then you don't need to do anything to your tnsnames.ora to use it with Toad -- or any other client tool. You just have to provide the correct connect string.
    What have you actually tried?
    What result did you get?
    Any oracle errors (ora-nnnnn or tns-nnnnn)?

  • How to access oracle with any unix user (like root)?

    I installed Oracle 10g on Redhat Enterprise Linux 3.
    I created one oracle user, and installed oracle in oracle users home directory. In oracle user I can access oracle very well. But I can not use oracle with other unix users like root. What kind of permissions I need to set to do so?

    You should never try to connect to Oracle as root, but if you want to connect as any other OS user, you will need to run ChangePerm.sh in $ORACLE_HOME/install in order to do this. It may not be present until you upgrade above the base release (like 10.2.0.3).

  • How to access oracle cursors using jdbc (expecting ur earliest reply)

    Hi All,
    can anyone help me out by giving me an idea or sample code in accessing the cursors that are defined in the oracle... i have to access those cursors using java... Thanks in advance for your reply and time....
    Ragu

    I have tried to follow the example from the URL link you provided.
    I'm using :
    - Oracle 8.1.6/8.1.7
    - JDK 1.3.1
    I've created:
    create or replace package types
    as
    type cursorType is ref cursor;
    end;
    create or replace function sp_ListEmp return types.cursortype
    as
    l_cursor types.cursorType;
    begin
    open l_cursor for
    select ename, empno
    from emp
    order by ename;
    return l_cursor;
    end;
    Then I have on my code the following:
    import java.sql.*;
    import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
    String conStatus = "":
    String driver_class = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";
    String connect_string = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@slackdog:1521:oracle8";
    String query = "begin :1 := sp_listEmp; end;";
    Connection conn;
    Class.forName(driver_class);
    conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connect_string, "scott", "tiger");
    try{
    conStatus = "before prepareCall, ";
    CallableStatement cstmt = conn.prepareCall(query);
    conStatus = conStatus + "before Register out, ";
    cstmt.registerOutParameter(1,OracleTypes.CURSOR);
    conStatus = conStatus + "before execute, ";
    cstmt.execute();
    conStatus = conStatus + "before getObject, ";
    ResultSet rset = (ResultSet)cstmt.getObject(1);
    while (rset.next ())
    System.out.println( rset.getString (1) );
    cstmt.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
    conStatus = conStatus + e;
    System.out.println(conStatus);
    What happens is that I am able to successfully compile the code. But when I run the code, it displays:
    "before prepareCall, before Register out, SQLException: incompatible types = -10."
    What does that mean? Pls point out to me what I did wrong in my code.
    Thanks.

  • How to access Oracle Database Externally 11gR1 which is in EC2?

    Dear Legends,
    I have migrated my local DB to amazon and everything was working fine, DB was up and running. Now I need to access the DB through SQL Developer or any other tool like. How do I able to access it?
    Example: URL: http://ec2-10-20-30-40.compute-1.amazonaws.com
    PORT: 1523
    SID: SAM
    Internal IP: ip-10-20-30-40-ec2-internal
    Note: I'm not using RDS which is in EC2
    Thanks,

    I resolved it by changing the tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files adding the external web entry url "ec2-10-20-30-40.compute-1.amazonaws.com" and now am able to access it externally.

  • How to access Oracle Using Dos Based FoxPro(2.5,2.6)

    Hello Sir,
    I need some clarification regarding the following question.
    Q. How can access Oracle Database using Dos Based Foxpro of version either 2.5 or 2.6
    Thanking you,
    Kishore.P

    Hi Alex,
    the host and port depends on your network setup of your VM.
    Do an ifconfig -a and see what IP adress your guest has.
    With this IP address you should be able to access EM from outside your VM (but on the VM host, not from outside the network) with the same port.
    Regards
    Sebastian

  • How to access Oracle Apps 11i forms using Vmware Player?

    Hi,
    I have installed Oracle Apps 11i on native OS OEL5 Server and guest OS Windows XPP using Vmware Player.Now how to access Oracle Apps 11i forms from Windows XPP using Vmware on my OEL5 Server Desktop?
    Thank's
    Regard's
    Rerry

    Hi,
    If you mean how to access eBusiness Suite from within the Virtual Machine, then you just navigate to the same URL you normally would. You may need to put the machine alias in your hosts file if you are referencing it via machine name rather than IP address.
    If you mean that you want to load the form in forms builder (for example) then you need to FTP the form from server to client (as you normally would) and then open it in your client (XP virtual machine).
    If you want to use Workflow Builder (as per your original requirement) then you need to ensure that the TNSNAMES.ora file in the Workflow Builder home has an entry for your instance on Linux, and then you should be able to connect to the database directly.
