8i Personal Edition on W2k?

Does Personal Oracle 8i run on W2k professional or server?

Gino,
First of all, you should not create tables uder the user, SYS. Instead create a new user for yourself, and if you are the DBA grant yourself the DBA role. When you create the user you will give yourself a quota on your users tablespace. For example, type:
SQL> conn system/manager
Connected.
SQL> CREATE USER gino IDENTIFIED BY <yourpassword>
2> DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
3> TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp
4> QUOTA UNLIMITED ON users;
User created.
SQL> GRANT DBA TO gino;
SQL> conn gino/<yourpassword>
Now try creating your table. If you'll notice in the create user statement, the default tablespace and temporary tablespace are specified. The default tablespace is where objects you create will be stored, unless you specify a different tablespace. You also have to tell Oracle how much space the user can have in the tablespace. In the above statement, you have unlimited space. Really, you are limited by the physical disk space or by storage parameters specified when the tablespace was created. Instead of saying 'QUOTA UNLIMITED ON users' in clause 4, you could also limit the space by saying something like 'QUOTA 2M ON users'
I hope that helps!

I am not an oracle DBA, sorry. After installing personal edition I try to create a table and get a message no privaleges on tablespace users.
I am logged in with the sys account. Anyone any idea.

  • Unable to install Oracle 8i personal edition into W2K pro

    I am unable to install 8i personal edition Release 3 onto my W2K machine. I download the zip file and unzip it into (c:/OracleInstall) a folder I have created on my c:/ drive. When i click on the setup.exe file it opens up. When I click on the install button the GUI disappers and nothing occurs. I have attempted to burn it onto a CD_Rom and install through the control panel and the same occurs.
    I am not sure what is causing this problem. Is there any why I could request the software in a CD as opposed to a zip file? What could be causing this problem?

  • Problem With Oracle Personal Edition On Windows XP

    I am trying to install Oracle 8i Personal Edition on Windows XP Professional, Installation was successful. But when I try to login through SQL plus it says "ORACLE not available" User Id I used is Scott/Tiger and System Manager.
    Even I checked the services started but some of the Oracle services are still in "starting" staus
    Can any one help me in this?

    Those 'starting' services must switch to 'started' before things will start to happen.
    What are the machine specs? Hopefully you have a decent CPU speed (>500MHz) and amount opf memory (>512M RAM) or things can be unsufferably slow.
    Is there a particularily good reason for using Oracle8i? After all, it is an unsupported and obsolete version of the database.

  • Can't install Oracle 8.1.7 Personal Edition on Windows ME

    I am trying to install "Oracle 8.1.7 Personal Edition for Windows 98" on Windows ME. I can't install it. During the install on the Oracle Universal Intaller, on the part where it asks for the Source and Destination, after I click "Next" to install, it gives me a error message: "Invalid staging area. There are no top level components for Windows 95 available for install from this staging area". So I can't proceed with the installation.
    The computer I am using is a Pentium 3, 700mhz, 128mb Ram.
    On my other computer, it is a Dell Dimension Pentium 4, 1.3 GHz, 128mb ram. When I attempt to install it, while running the D:\setup.exe, before it even loads the install program, it gives me the error message: "Jrew has caused an error in JAVAI.DLL. Jrew will now close. If you continue to experience problems, try restarting your computer". Restarting my computer does not solve the problem.
    Can anyone help me out, I really would appreciate it. Thank you.

    There is supposedly a fix for this 'stage error' but I tried one of them and it doesn't work. What i have found is that you either create a dual boot Win ME/(98 or 2000 pro) or dump ME as I did and run 98 or 2000 instead. It is painful but unfortunately, seeming necessary. I made it a bit less painful by using Symantec Works to back up all of my other loaded APPS (and Registry entries) Most reloaded to 98 even though they were running in ME.
    Good luck.

  • Install Oracle 8i (8.1.7.0.0) Personal Edition on Windows 98 (Second Edition)

    Hello,
    I am unable to install Oracle 8i Personal Edition on my Windows 98 (Second Edition) system. I have selected "typical" install. All the files get installed (100% complete) but then the Configuration Tool install phase fails to complete when installing Oracle Database Configuration Assistant. I get the following error message :
    java.lang.NullpointerException
    at DropOracle.QueryDB(Compiled Code)
    at DeletePanel.InitControls(Compiled Code)
    at DeletePanel.<init>(DeletePanel.java:100)
    at DBCreateWizard.<init>(DBCReateWizard.java:569)
    at DBCreateWizard.main(DBCreateWizard.java:1422)
    The system just hangs with the "in progress" message.
    The previous step -
    The Net8 Configuration Assistant install completes successfully
    (return code 0).
    If anyone can help me resolve my problem it will be greatly appreciated.
    Or if you could tell me which Oracle email address (or phone number) I should address my problem to it will be appreciated. I do NOT have a Oracle Support Licence (I only purchased the evaluation CD pack).
    I have installed Java 2 (JDK 1.3) in a separate directory - but I understand Oracle 8i has its own version of JRE 1.1... in its own subdirectory structure ... so my JDK 1.3 should not be interfering with the Oracle 8i installation programs.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    My actual requirement is to move the catalog database(8i) which is running on one windows server 2003 to another windows server 2003.
    catalog db :8.1.7.4.0 (crman)
    and we have different target databases(8i, 9i and 10g) which is using the above db as catalog db.
    Here is an example:
    old server name : yyyyy :
    new server name : zzzzz
    Under Old server we have the following oracle homes
    ORACLE_HOME - 8.1.7 - which is created under the user "ora817"
    ORACLE_HOME - 9.2.0.7 - which is created under the user "ora920"
    and the catalog database name : CRMAN which is a 8i database but for backups it is using 9i rman executables.(because in the script for rman backup they are setting the 9i home and backing up the data's)
    I need to move the same setting to the new server. I dont know how I will proceed on this. I'm in a confused state. If anyone have the same experience
    please share your ideas.
    Thanks, Muhammed.

  • Installing Oracle8i Personal Edition, Version 8.1.5 on Windows XP Pro

    I am trying to install Oracle8i Personal Edition, Version 8.1.5 on my system with Windows XP Pro on it.
    After copying the CD content to the Hard Drive and renaming symcjit.dll to symcjit_back.dll, and running the setup from the oracle folder on the C drive, I am having the following error message:
    " Invalid srttaging area. There are no top level components for Windows NT available for install from this satging area".
    Any clue?

    You may want to search the database forums or All forums categories first to see if this question is already answered. I see at least 6 threads in the database category level and 21 threads when I searched all categories for "invalid staging area." If you still do not the find the answer, please repost your question in the database forum.

  • Cant Load personal edition 8.1.5 on Windows ME

    Is there a way out to install Oracle personal edition 8.1.5 on Windows ME. Is it true one can't install personal edition on Win ME. If any one had sucess, I would be glad to hear how. Thanks
    Adiseshu

    Oracle doesn't support Windows ME at the moment.
    If you visit some of the Oracle newsgroups, there are folks that have figured out how to install Oracle on a Windows ME box. This would be an unsupported configuration, however.

  • Oracle 8i (8.1.7) Personal Edition on Windows Millenium wont install

    I try to install Oracle 8i (8.1.7) Personal Edition on my
    Windows Millenium laptop (PIII, 256MB, 30GB). When running
    universal installer, after first initial screen when installer
    has loaded G:\stage\products.jar (G drive is my CD drive), I got

    I don't know what to do to correct this problem ! I searched

    Not only the Oracle Personal Edition but even the Oracle Client
    can not be installed on WinMe. I suspect this may be because the
    JVM matter. You can try to install JRE1.3.1 and see if it works.
    Remember to add in path and Classpath in Autoexec.bat.

  • Differences between Oracle Personal Edition and Enterprise Edition

    What are the differences between the databases of Oracle Personal Edition and the Oracle Enterprise Edition..?

    I have just looked at the metalink document and see that Oracle are still blatantly lying about the availability of analytical functions.
    We chose standard edition on the basis of this document and were very annoyed to find we could not use analytical functions.
    The document is about 8i. Of course we are all on 9i these days aren't we ?

  • Personal edition vs standard edition

    I am new to oracle and am planning on installing oracle (personal or standard) onto a standalone desktop in my cube for test and develop(and learn) on.
    My company is currently using Enterprise on sperate database servers that eventually I will probably get access to as admin for database yet to designed.
    So my question is why not just use standard edition for my test and development on instead of personal edit.? Since it is cheaper for standard.
    Also what is min desktop necessary for a small test and devel database in either of the editions? I will be using NT 4.0.

    the Oracle software that you have ,Personal Edition or otherwise has documentation about the features available in each version of the Server, enterprise, standard and Personal.
    That should give you an idea whihc version is best for ur desktop.
    Also you will find the system requrements for the installation .That should help.

  • Deployment of objects in OWB10g with Personal Edition Database

    When trying to deploy objects in a Personal Oracle 10g database with OWB10g, the following error occurs:
    RPE-01011: Cannot deploy to target database location because it does not have a compatible version.
    Deployment on the same database but on Enterprise Edition works fine.
    Oracle does not support OWB on Personal Edition, but I found a workaround to use OWB on a Personal Edition database. The problem is that the Deployment Manager checks for the version number from PRODUCT_COMPONENT_VERSION where PRODUCT like 'Oracle%'. It returns the version number, but with this query no rows are returned in Personal Edition because the product name does not begin with 'Oracle' (Personal Oracle Database 10g).
    I found a workaround in redefining the definition of the view SYS.PRODUCT_COMPONENT_VERSION so that it returns 'Oracle Database 10g Personal Edition' for the database component. The deployment manager will then find the correct number, and you can deploy just as you would with Enterprise Edition.
    Statement used to redefine the view:
    create or replace view sys.product_component_version as
    (select
    substr(banner,1, instr(banner,'Version')-1) product,
    substr(banner, instr(banner,'Version')+8,
    instr(banner,' - ')-(instr(banner,'Version')+8)) version,
    substr(banner,instr(banner,' - ')+3) status
    from v$version
    where instr(banner,'Version') > 0
    and
    ((instr(banner,'Version') < instr(banner,'Release')) or
    instr(banner,'Release') = 0))
    union
    (select
    substr(banner,1, instr(banner,'Release')-1),
    substr(banner, instr(banner,'Release')+8,
    instr(banner,' - ')-(instr(banner,'Release')+8)),
    substr(banner,instr(banner,' - ')+3)
    from v$version
    where instr(banner,'Release') > 0
    and
    instr(banner,'Release') < instr(banner,' - ')
    AND BANNER NOT LIKE '%Database%')
    union
    (select
    'Oracle Database 10g Personal Edition',
    substr(banner, instr(banner,'Release')+8,
    instr(banner,' - ')-(instr(banner,'Release')+8)),

  • Installing 8i Personal Edition

    I am installing Oracle 8i Personal Edition
    on windows 98 and I ran into a problem.
    I couldn't install the Database Configuration Asistant. The log reads:
    Documents\Downloads\Oracle8i\starterdb is an invalid command line argument
    So it is looking in Documents instead of MyDocuments. How do I tell it to look in MyDocuments?

    The problem is that Personal 8i isn4t compatible with Windows ME. But don4t worry. There4s a solution. Before you install it, modify the WIN.INI file, in the section [Compatibility95], adding Jrew=0x00080000. Reboot your system and try to install it again. Good luck.
