10G EXPRESS QUESTIONS

I want to download and start using the free express
edition of the db. Before doing so, I have several
questions before getting started:
1) I plan on downloading to, and using the db on,
only one system. Which version do I need??? Do I
need the server version, client version, or do I need
both???The 'server' is the database. The 'client' is the software needed to get to the server (get to the database) across the network.
You need the server at the least.
If you want to access the database from other computers using something other than a browser, you need the 'client'.
2) I would prefer to download and use the db from a
laptop versus a desktop. Any issues with that??? Of
course, the laptop would be sized correctly.I run Oracle XE on a laptop. 1GB RAM, 40GB disk, P4-2.2GHz laptop. I'm pretty happy.
3) I would prefer to use the db on a Mac but see
there is not a version for the Mac OS. Which is the
better OS for this db, Windows or Linux???
Which car is better - a Ford or a Chrysler?
It really comes down to personal preference. The differences between Windows and Linux are not really all that great any more.
And just like cars - just don't forget that eith has to be maintained. Regularly.

Oracle 10G Express Newbie questions

Hello everyone! I am completely new to oracle and I was wondering if you guys could answer some of my questions. I installed Oracle 10g Express rpm (oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm) and Zend for oracle with the assumption that all the environmental variables would be set and everything would be ready. Unfortunately, this was not the case:
The instructions say to setup the ORACLE_BASE and ORACLE_HOME but I don't know what those need to be. I'm assuming ORACLE_HOME can be any directory and ORACLE_BASE is the path to libraries or executables or something. This is not very clear to me in the instructions. By the way, X windows is not installed on my server so everything I do must be from the shell.
My question are:
1) On a standard rpm install of 10g Express, what should the environmental variables ORACLE_BASE & ORACLE_HOME be (installed in /usr/lib/oracle/ ) ?
2) Assuming that X windows is not installed, what are the best ways to connect to the DB? sqlplus? http://www.test.com:8080/apex? clients?
3) Can the windows client be used to connect to 10g Express on a linux server?

Problem upgrading 10g Express to Apex 3.1.2

I have Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 installed on windows XP. I want to develop an application using oracle express (apex), so I thought it would be a good idea to upgrade apex (from the default apex 2.0 that came with 10g xe) to the latest, release 3.1,2 before starting. I have tried up to upgrade twice & it has failed. Without going into a ton of details, based on log errors that I saw each time, it looks like installation script, apexins.sql, expects the 1st param to be the default tablespace instead of the password. Any ideas about this?
My other questions are:
1) Prior to upgrading to rel 3.1.2, do I need to create the apex user/passwd FIRST? The doc did not say to create the account first.(so I didn't). It says apexins parameters are the followiing, but the log errors I got seem to disagree:
@apexins <password> <tablespace_htmldb> <tablespace_files> <tablespace_temp>
<images> <connect>
2) Am I following the correct installation instructions for apex rel 3? From what I read, I believe I can go directly from apex rel 2.0 to 3.1.2. I found 2 different install docs for release 3 & they were different. Both docs said to run the change passwd script(apxchpwd) after installation, but one installation doc had 2 additional scripts (which I didn't run). Can someone please point me to the right install instructions?
3) After searching I found an old apex 2.2 installaction tutorial that says you need to install HTTP prior to APEX. Apparently I misinterpreted the 3.1 install doc that said HTTP was already included in oracle 9.2 or higher. I assumed that I didn't need to install HTTP since oracle xe is rel 10. Now I think I need to install HTTP first from the companion CD BEFORE upgrading to APEX 3.1.2. Is this correct?
3) It says that 85M is required in SYSTEM tablespace for apex 3. The system tablespace size is 76800 (default).
Should I increase it before attempting to upgrade again? (I expected the default to be big enough since apex comes with the db)
4)Any suggestions/tips for starting over are more than welcome! Again I saw > 1 doc on how to cleanup a bad installation. Both said to drop the flows_0300 user, but one said to exec wwv_flow_upgrade.switch_schemas, which I did before I did attempted the 2nd install. Am I supposed to run the switch_schemas or not to cleanup a bad install? Also, in the troubleshooting doc I did not see an option for calling switch_schemas for my apex release (2.1) so I just followed the examples and substituted 'FLOWS_020100'. for 'FLOWS_020200' parameter. Was that a good or bad idea?
5) Is there any other software (i.e application, server?) that needs be to installed before or after apex 3.1.2? Anything else I missed? The documentation is not clear & has omissions.
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm assuming that you're doing this on a Windows based machine and Apex 3.1.2 has already been downloaded from the Application Express webpage and will use port http 8080.
NOTE: Make sure your Oracle Database XE does not automatically startup when Windows boots up. If that is the case, then kindly disconnect Oracle Database XE before proceeding with any of these steps.
Step 1: Unzip Apex to a suitable location (preferable "c:\oraclexe\apex").
Step 2: Start a SQL Plus session from c:\oraclexe\apex and login as a "sysdba".
sqlplus / as sysdba
Step 3: Install Apex.
+@apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/+
Step 4: Reconnect Oracle Database XE.
Step 5: Assign/Set images PATH for APEX in APEX_HOME folder where we have unzipped APEX i.e. c:\oraclexe.
[email protected] APEX_HOME+
Step 6: Assign/Set administrator credentials for/to APEX.
[email protected] your_password+
Step 7: Restart Oracle Database XE.
Step 8: Apex configuration completed. Availability will be as follows:
Apex availability: http://localhost:8080/apex
Apex Administrator: http://localhost:8080/apex/apex_admin
Follow these steps and let me know if this works for you or not.

Naveed.

Oracle 10g Express Edition doesn't works on Win SBS 2011

Deutsch
Hallo zusammen!
Ich ein kleines Problem mit der Installation von Oracle 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0. Zuerst, ich muss die ältere Version nehmen, weil das Programm welches dann auf Oracle zugreift sehr „sensibel“ ist und wohlmöglich mit der neueren Version 11g nicht klar kommt.
Die Version 10g habe ich nun auf einen Server mit Windows SBS 2011 Essentials SP1 64-Bit installiert. Doch leider bekomme ich nach der Installation keinen Zugriff zum Localhost 127.0.0.1:8080/apex. Weder mit IE noch mit Firefox.
Meine Frage wäre funktioniert die Version 10g auf Windows SBS 2011 mit 64-bit überhaupt und falls ja, wo müsste man eventuell in Windows noch etwas einstellen damit man Zugriff auf 127.0.0.1:8080/apex hat?
Vielen Dank vorab!

Hello at all!
I’ve some problems with the installation of Oracle 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0. At first i must take the old version of Oracle, because the program which needs Oracle ist very “sensitive” and i fear this program doesn’t cope with the new version.
So i install the version 10g on a server with Windows SBS 2011 Essentials SP1 64-Bit. Unfortunately i don't get an access to the localhost 127.0.0.1:8080/apex. I try it with IE and Firefox.
My question is does Oracle 10g works on Windows SBS 2011 64-bit and if yes, is there any setting to do on Windows to get the an access to 127.0.0.1:8080/apex?
Thank!

Oracle 10g Express Edition for DBA practice

Hi,
I want to download the Oracle Express Edition 10g for my database administration which I want to practice at home.I have a windows vista x64 with me which i recently purchased.i am getting a little confused about the edition available in the Oracle -->Downloads site.Is the express edition which is available only for development or can I use it for my database admin purpose too.
Since am new to this field ,I will be grateful if I can get some pointers to what edition of Oracle 10g should i download and from where.I am a DBA and need some practice at home.
Thanks in Advance,

Supported Windows Versions
One of the following 32-bit Windows operating systems:
* Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or later
* Windows Server 2003
* Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1 or later
Oracle Database 10g XE is not certified for windows vista 64-bit.
Although you can see only a few Windows versions supported, you can still try and run DB XE on other versions as well as far as you don't look up to Oracle to resolve your issues. But Oracle Database 10g XE can not be installed on 64-bit windows, thats for sure.
So, if you are done with choosing your platform, you are left with only one option i.e HYPERVISORS.
So you'll have to first use any HYPERVISOR and create a Virtual Machine and then install a Guest 32-bit windows ( or Linux if you prefer) and then run Oracle DB on it.
One of the most famous vendors in business for the purpose is VMWare. But there are other options available as well including open source/free.
For downloading the software you can get to the following link and download Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Universal)

Installing and Running Oracle 10g Express Edition on Microsoft Vista

My computer is running on Microsoft Vista.
I downloaded Oracle 10g Express Edition for Vista.
I ran the setup.exe. Everything went well there.
But, when I open the SQLPlus program, a window prompts me to enter my username, password and host string.
Can someone please tell me what it is expecting for these fields? I am using the same username and password I used to create my Oracle account.
But what is the host string?
Appreciate it.
Thanks.

Oracle 10g express edition recovery catalog

whether oracle 10g express edition spoort recovery catalog?

Yes you can; the answer is in the manual.
>
In general, the rules of RMAN compatibility are as follows:
<li>You can create 8.X or 9.X RMAN catalog schema in any Oracle database release 8.1.X (or higher) and Release 10g RMAN catalog schema in any Oracle database release 9.0.1 (or higher).</li>
<li>The recovery catalog schema version must be greater than or equal to the RMAN client version.</li>
<li>Ideally, the versions of the RMAN client and the target database should be the same (although there are other legal combinations, listed in Table B-1).</li>
<li>While backing up a Release 10g database using the 9.X RMAN client, you cannot include a controlfile that was created using compatible=10.0.0 in a datafile backupset. The workaround is to turn controlfile autobackup ON.</li>

XML Error in Oracle 10g Express

Hello!
First of, I would like to say that Oracle XE is quite an excellent product. I am happy to join this community to learn more about the product and hopefully in the future to help others out as well.
And now, to my question:
Database:
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Product
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.1.0 Production

ORA-31011: XML parsing failed ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing LPX-00104: Warning: element "html" is not declared in the DTD Error at line 2
I am following the instructions in Oracle® Database Express Edition 2 Day Plus Application Express Developer Guide Release 2.1 to create a web service. The instructions are:
Application Builder --> Shared Components --> Under Logic, select Web Service References (The Web Service References page appears) --> Click Create.
When prompted whether to search a UDDI registry to find a WSDL, select Yes and click Next --> For UDDI Location, select IBM UDDI and click Next --> For Search Type, select Business Name --> In Name, enter: %xMethods%
However, when I complete the above steps, I get the following error:
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing LPX-00104: Warning: element "html" is not declared in the DTD Error at line 2
Can you please advise as to the steps needed to troubleshoot this error - i.e. Where should I begin looking to attempt to resolve this?
Thank you very much for your help!

Hello Igor,
if you want to finish the example for the XiginitFutures you have to specify the URL for the service directly
Therefore when you create a Shared Component
- select Web Service References
- Create
- When prompted whether to search a UDDI registry insted of accepting the default now choose No and click Next
- For WSDL-Position enter http://www.xignite.com/xFutures.asmx?WSDL
- Next
- Finish

Installation of Oracle 10g Express Edition

I've installed XE onto my PC (Windows XP MediaCenntre Edition) using the OracleXE2 application currently available from the download centre. The installation ran succesfully and used all of the default ports.
However when I try to go to the Database Home page (127.0.0.1/apex) I always get I.E returns 'cannot display web page'. I've tried to re-install to fix the problem but it still fails. Any one have any ideas???????
NOTE
I've run the start database batch file just in case services were down and this informs me that the listener has been started correctly and that the OracleServiceXE is already running. Furthermore I can run SQLPlus from the command line, log on as System and run a simple select against ALL_TABLES.

The correct forum is found by clicking on the "Forum Home" at top of this page, scrolling down to 'Database' category, clicking on 'More', scroling down and clicking on "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition" near the bottom.
(As for Vista - hopefully you deal with Vista Business, or higher. AFAICT, no Oracle product installs easily or properly on Vista Home)

(again) oracle 10g client and oracle 10g express in one computer

hi again, sorry if this question looks like a double post to you.
Well this is quite embarassing yet still make some headache for me. I have my office PC installed with Oracle 10g client using admin component option, for connecting some application with database on remote server. Now, after I have developed some basic map using Oracle 10g Express on my home PC, I want to test it in my office network. But everytime I tried to install Oracle Express, it web interface will working normally while all other aplication can no longer connected with remote server from the client. If I remove Oracle Express, all client connection will working again as if nothing happened. I already created Microsoft LoopBack connection using IP 10.10.10.10, edit TNSNAMES.ORA, etc that could possibly helpful but nothing fixed. Strangely, if I install Oracle 10g Database version, all connection to remote server working again, and map application also working. But this kind of installation takes up all my PC resources (grrrr!). Any more suggestion?

I'm sorry if the information not accurate, but the client connection made by application which try to connect is simply "not resolved" and show no error code/number at all. I'll try to connect from sqlplus though, maybe the error number will be known from this way.
About 10.10.10.10 tcp loopback, I got this work around from here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14316/reqs.htm#BABGCEAI
in the Ora Database Preinstallation requirement, where it states like this:
+16.In the Properties dialog box, click Use the following IP address and do the following:+
a.IP Address: Enter a non-routable IP for the loopback adapter. Oracle recommends the following non-routable addresses:
+■192.168.x.x (x is any value between 0 and 255)+
+■10.10.10.10+ <---- this is the value suggested that I've been used in my home PC
b.Subnet mask: Enter 255.255.255.0.
c.Record the values you entered, which you will need later in this procedure.
d.Leave all other fields empty.
e.Click OK.
I'll try to remove the loopback later and see the ORA environment, to see the result. In the mean time, all suggestions is highly appreciated.
thank you n best regards
