I need a easy Oracle Database download?

This is my first try at getting familiar with Oracle. Now the database downloads that I have experienced so far all require for me to partition my system.
Now from past experience partitioning my system has been a nightmare. I need some help!!
Is there any software from Oracle (database stuff) that I can safely download and not need to partition my system. That would be cool if someone could educate me on this subject.
I am a programmer/data person by trade and not a network person. Any help would be great.
Thank You,
Concerned Data Guy

If you want to start with Oracle, try the Express Edition aka XE.
But this is really not the right forum. The Database category of forums has e.g Installation forum and XE forum, if you decide to try XE.

Do I need to install oracle database 10gr2 before installing Oracle applica

I am new to Oracle application server. I am going to install Oracle application server 10g. From what I read, it looks like I need to install oracle database 10gR2 first on the SAME server? Is that correct?
If I do so, oracle_home will be point to where? to the Oracle application server home directory, or oracle db directory?
Thank you very much for you help.

hi,
Even i am new to oracle application server and had the same doubt that you have.
When you install Application Server there would be two tiers installed, application tier and middle tier, these tiers can be running from the same machine or different machines.
These tiers will have a meta data repository to store application server related data, this database will be installed along with application server.
It is upto you to install "oracle database 10gR2 " before or after installaion of application server, this will be an independent database which will have its own home, but after this installation you will have three homes, ex: infra_home,mid_home and 10gR2_home.
by default oracle_home is set to the last installation that happens so if you install the database 10gR2 after installing application server it will point to 10gR2_home, but if you install 10gR2 before and application server later then the oracle home will be infra_home(if both the middle tier and infratier are on the same machine)
you can always change the oracle home by using set ORACLE_HOME=path/to/oracle/home( in windows)
or export ORACLE_HOME=path/to/oracle/home (in unix)
hope this helps....

Do I need to install Oracle database 12c on PC to create tables for Weblogic server

Hi,
I am new to WebLogic and I am following a book Java EE Development
with Eclipse published by PACKT Publishing to learn Java EE. I have installed Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse
on the PC and I am able to log into the WebLogic Server
Administration Console and set up a Data Source. However the next step is to create
tables for the database. The book says that the tables can be
created using SQL script run from the SQL command line.
I cannot see any way of inputting SQL script into the WebLogic
Server Admistration Console. Aslo there is no SQL Command line
in DOS.
I have put a previous question on the Oracle Forum about the above and I was advised to use SQL Plus
to create the tables for the weblogic server but no mention was made of installing Oracle database.
I have downloaded InstantClient SQL Plus and Instantclient Basic on a PC and
put the files into the same directory C:\SQLPlus but now I am having a problem in that it is
looking for a username and password when I run the sqlplus.exe file.
Now I assume that I need to have an installation of Oracle databse on the
PC so as to be able to use SQL Plus. Am I correct in this or can I create tables for the
datasource in weblogic without an Oracle database?
Thanks in advance for your help. Brian

You should install it separately and also need to change the OBIEE's user.sh to tell it where is your Oracle client installed.

G.7.1 Backing Up a 32-Bit Oracle Database
To back up a 32-bit Oracle home database:
Start SQL*Plus:
C:\> sqlplus /NOLOG
Connect to the database instance as SYSDBA:
SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA;
Create a .trc file to use as a template to re-create the control files on the 64-bit computer:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE;
Shut down the database:
SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
Perform a full offline backup of the database.

G.7.2 Migrating an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) Database
To migrate an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) database for 32-bit Windows to an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) database for 64-bit Windows:
Install Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) for 64-bit Windows.
See Also:
Oracle Database Installation Guide for Windows
Create the new Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) service at the command prompt:
C:\> ORADIM -NEW -SID SID [-INTPWD PASSWORD ]-MAXUSERS USERS
-STARTMODE AUTO -PFILE ORACLE_HOME\DATABASE\INITSID.ORA
The following table provides more information on the values you must supply.
Parameter      Description
SID     SID of the database you are upgrading
PASSWORD     Password for the new Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) for 64-bit Windows database. This is the password for the user connected with SYSDBA privileges. The -INTPWD option is not required. If you do not specify it, then operating system authentication is used, and no password is required.
USERS     Maximum number of users who can be granted SYSDBA and SYSOPER privileges
ORACLE_HOME     Oracle home directory. Ensure that you specify the full path name with the -PFILE option, including drive letter of the Oracle home directory.
Copy the 32-bit datafiles to the new 64-bit Oracle home.
Copy the 32-bit configuration files to the 64-bit Oracle home.
If your 32-bit initialization parameter file has an IFILE (include file) entry, then copy the file specified by the IFILE entry to the 64-bit Oracle home and edit the IFILE entry in the initialization parameter file to point to its new location.
If you have a password file that resides in the 32-bit Oracle home, then copy the password file to the 64-bit Oracle home. The default 32-bit password file is located in ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\database\pwdSID.ora., where SID is your Oracle instance ID.
In the 64-bit Oracle home, add the _SYSTEM_TRIG_ENABLED = false parameter to the ORACLE_HOME\database\ORACLE_SID \init.ora file before changing the word size.
Remove this parameter from the initialization file after the word size change is complete.
See Also:
Oracle Database Upgrade Guide for more information on changing word size
Go to the 64-bit ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin directory from the command prompt.
Start SQL*Plus:
C:\> sqlplus /NOLOG
Connect to the database instance as SYSDBA:
SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA;
Re-create the 64-bit control files using the CREATE CONTROLFILE command. Edit the trace file created in "Backing Up a 32-Bit Oracle Database" to change the paths to the datafiles, log files and control files to point to the Oracle home on the 64-bit computer. This creates the new control file in ORACLE_HOME\database.
Here is an example of a database named "orcl32" on a 32-bit computer migrating to "orcl64" on a 64-bit computer:
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "T1" NORESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG
    MAXLOGFILES 32
    MAXLOGMEMBERS 2
    MAXDATAFILES 32
    MAXINSTANCES 16
    MAXLOGHISTORY 1815
LOGFILE
    GROUP 1 'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\REDO03.LOG' SIZE 1M,
    # was   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl32\...LOG'
    # on the 32-bit computer
    GROUP 2 'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\REDO02.LOG' SIZE 1M,
    GROUP 3 'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\REDO01.LOG' SIZE 1M
DATAFILE
   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\SYSTEM01.DBF',
    # was 'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl32\...DBF'
    # on the 32-bit computer
   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\RBS01.DBF',
   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\USERS01.DBF',
   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\TEMP01.DBF',

   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\INDX01.DBF',
   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\DR01.DBF'
CHARACTER SET WE8ISO8859P1;
Alter the init file from the 32-bit computer to include the new control file generated in the preceding step.
Start the database in RESTRICT mode:
SQL> STARTUP RESTRICT;
You might need to use the PFILE option to specify the location of your initialization parameter file.
Set the system to spool results to a log file for later verification of success. For example:
SQL> SPOOL catoutw.log
Enter the following command to view the output of the script on-screen:
SQL> SET ECHO ON;
Recompile existing PL/SQL modules in the format required by the 64-bit Oracle9i database:
SQL> @utlirp.sql;
Turn off the spooling of script results to the log file:
SQL> SPOOL OFF;
Check the spool file and verify that the packages and procedures compiled successfully. Correct any problems you find in this file.
If you were viewing the output of catoutw.log on-screen, disable viewing now:
SQL> SET ECHO OFF;
Exit the RESTRICT database mode:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM DISABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
The word size of the 64-bit Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) database is changed. You can open the database for normal use.This is from the link

Need Advice on Oracle database 10.2.0.4.0 on RedHat Linux AS 4

Hi,
I would like to know whether Oracle Database 10.2.0.4.0 is certified to run on the RedHat Linux AS 4 (Nahant Update 6) with HugeMem Kernel?
actually, we were running the Oracle 10g(10.2.0.4.0) database on RedHat Linux AS 4 (Nahant Update 6) with SMP kernel. We faced "out of memory" error so we are planning to change the kernel to HugeMem from SMP.
Any suggestions on this would be highly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance!!!
Siva

If you were facing the out of memory errors, could you elaborate more on the circumstances these errors showed up? You could be facing the same situation after upgrading the OS if you don't properly diagnose the root cause.

Go to System Administration
-> System Configuration
-> System Landscape
-> select a Folder where you want to store your system object
-> right click -> New System
-> in the wizard, select JDBC System
-> enter values
-> edit
Then fill in the correct values as stated here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/84/d5df3df2ad685ae10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
Then assign an Alias and enter some usermapping data for the system.
You then can use the ConnectorService to get a native sql connection and fire statements. I'm sure you can find some examples here.

I need a big oracle database to practise

Hi everyone,
I am currently studying for OCA. For my exercises, I need a table with large number of records, around 500,0000 or more to practice things like performance tuning.
Anyone with an idea where I can get and download these records, in whatever file format, to import into a table.
I don't have time to create these large records myself.
Cheers

If you want a bunch of tables of that sort, then its easy to do that using simple Pl/Sql commands.
create table tab1(a number, b varchar2(10));
begin
for i in 1..500000 loop
insert into tab1 values(i,'a'||i);
end loop;
commit;
end;
Or you can use tables like all_tables or all_source etc...to create your own dummy with their records.. its as simple as that.

Oracle Database Downloads

Recently I downloaded the Oracle 9.2 Client for windows. It turned out to be a trial pack.
I got to know that Oracle 9.2.0.6 should be the right one. Is that true?
Earlier I had downloaded the sqldeveloper.exe for windows but it does not work for Desktop windows. Any suggestions?

Oracle does not have trial packs. And the Client is just that, not the database. the version you describe (9.2.0.6) is a patch, that requires a (paid for) support contract.
What problems do you have with sqldeveloper? What is Desktop windows?
next time, better ask in the correct forum: database for the database

If you Google "database design document" you'll see that there are many templates available. I've never used any such document, and I think you'll be hard pressed to find one that fits your business needs exactly (assuming there are business needs behind your request).
1. Hardware & software specifications.
2. Database Sizing/ estimate.I would suggest you analyze existing workloads and base your estimates on that. If there is no existing workload you'll have to estimate one based on how many users you estimate will use the solution, or some other clever estimation method.
3. Schema Design This is a matter of translating business/application requirements to what needs to be stored in the relational database, and creating a data model based upon that. Every model will be different.
4. Data transformations/ feedsYou could simply document each transformation/feed and purpose.
Thanks

Download problems Oracle Database 10g Express Edition

Completed download.
Attempted to start application but cannot find the server.
Removed the software using add/remove programs.
Attempted to reinstall but it seems that some applications are still on my system.
Attempted to remove the application but the add/remove program does not recognized the application
What can I do.

Hello,
I need to install "Oracle database 10g Express Edition" with different database name example dev but it is taking
default name that is XE and there is no option come during installation where i can put the name of database as per my desire.First, note that you can't install more than one instance of XE per server. Changing the instance name won't help you with that.
As you've already found out, the installer always creates a database instance with default names. That's part of the "Express" concept: As little configuration as necessary to get a Oracle Database installed with just a few clicks. The second advantage is, that you can also simplify the documentation, as you can forget about several aspects when you don't have to configure them...
Since you don't have tools like dbca in XE, your only option would be to rename the database once it's created. There are a few threads on that topic in this forum, e. g. {thread:id=403056}.
But before you start working on that, could you explain why exactly you have to use a different database/instance name?
And also explain why we use "Oracle database 10g Express Edition" instead of Oracle database 10g. what is the meaning of Express Edition.Why and how should we answer why you picked a certain edition? The most likely cause is license costs: XE is available for free, all others are just free as long as you use the OTN license...
For an overview, there is a [url http://www.oracle.com/us/products/database/enterprise-edition/comparisons/index.html]Comparison Matrix for Oracle Database Editions.
I'd furthermore ask why you still use 10g XE instead of the current 11g XE?

Do i need IP address to install Oracle Database 10g

Dear all,
i want to test some thing with oracle database 10g release 2 at my home
but there i do not have a network card
so i will not be able to obtain an ip address, so can i install it without the need of the ip address?
Best Regards,
Ashraf

but there i do not have a network card
so i will not be able to obtain an ip address, so can
i install it without the need of the ip address?IP address is needed to install oracle database. But you don't have network card so you can use 127.0.0.1 , that is by default IP address for local host. Make sure you have made in hosts file ( /etc/hosts in Linux and C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc in windows ).
example
127.0.0.1 localhost <your hostname>
In windows you need to install a Loopback Adapter

The easiest way to export Oracle data to Excel is to use sql developer. It is a free download and this article by Jeff Smith shows how easy it is

And One Last Thing
Speaking of export, sometimes I want to send data to Excel. And sometimes I want to send multiple objects to Excel – to a single Excel file that is. In version 3.2.1 you can now do that. Let’s export the bulk of the HR schema to Excel, with each table going to it’s own workbook in the same worksheet.

Install Oracle Database 10.0.1.4.2

Hi All,
I am wondering how can I install this version of the Oracle database?
In particular I have installed the Oracle Database 10.1.0.2.0 database,
and am currently applying a patch set to get the database to version 10.1.0.4.0.
How can I get this version of the database to version 10.1.0.4.2 once this is done? Is there any other patches that I need to apply to get the 10.1.0.4.0 current database to this new version 10.1.0.4.2.
The reason I am asking this is in regards to getting a client database installed for the sole purpose of RMAN cataloging a metadata repository which is version 10.1.0.4.2.
Cheers
Rodney

Hi All,
I have found how to install the Oracle Database 10.0.1.4.2.
Firstly you need to install Oracle Database 10.0.1.2.0.
Then you need to apply the Oracle 10.0.1.4.2 patch. This however is NOT
downloadable from Metalink or from OTN. The patch actually comes with the
Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 install, and is part of the set of discs which comes with this version. I found that out yesterday from a SR I raised with Oracle.
Cheers
