Accessing Oracle Server without Installing Oracle Client

Hi
I work on a linux based server which would be installed with Oracle Server. My problem is that I dont want to install Oracle Client on every client workstation since there are 1500 PCs in my company.
Could anyone help me on this?
Please note that all of the workstation are using Windows Operating System.
Thanks
Antony

I do not believe such an animal exists. Since Oracle's wire protocol is proprietary, reverse engineering it is a very significant investment.
If you need to access the Oracle server without installing the Oracle client, can you use the thin JDBC driver?

    No, you do not need a TNS alias (as the connection string can be build manually by the application and the driver).
    So SQL*Developer needs to have an OCI (Oracle Call Interface) client driver. This can be "installed" using Oracle Instant Client.
    Instant Client does not really install - to use it takes 3 basic steps:
    - download it (zip file)
    - unzip it to a directory (e.g. C:\InstantClient on Windows)
    - add to your Windows User's environment an ORACLE_HOME variable that points to this directory
    These steps should suffice in making the driver in in Instant Client available to Oracle applications. (works for me running an Oracle OCI client like <i>Mumbai</i> or Oracle's <i>SQL Data Modeler</i>).
    If you want a tnsnames.ora file, then create the file and create a new environment variable called TNS_ADMIN that refers to directory location of the file. It can use the same location as your Instant Client directory.
    PS. I assume you have an existing Oracle server to connect to.

  • Run sql statements in PL/Sql Developer without installing Oracle database?

    Hi all,
    I wish to ask is there any possibility to run Run sql statements in PL/Sql Developer without installing Oracle database?
    Regards.

    Hello Jimmy,
    this is the forum for the tool SQL Developer and, as the title says, *(Not for general SQL/PLSQL questions)*.
    PL/Sql Developer is not an Oracle tool, but from allound allroundautomations.
    And you need access to a database to run SQL statements. This does not need to be one installed by yourself.

  • Oracle Text in installing Oracle 10g without licence!!

    Hi. Everyone.
    I've read some thread , but I am still confused about "oracle text".
    Now, I am testing oracle10g database.
    I downloaded 10g software from www.oracle.com, and installed it sucessfully
    on windows xp.
    When I was trying to import a dump file from oracle9i to
    the unlicenced oracle10g database, I got the error , IMP-00017, which
    is related to "Oracle Text".
    I checked "dba_users" dictionary, but ctxsys user is locked and expired.
    I read some thread on this site, and according to the advice, I tried to
    enable oracle text, using "DBCA".
    However, every database option on DBCA is disabled, I was not able to
    check oracle text.
    Lastly, how can I enable "Oracle Text" with unlicenced oracle 10g ?
    Is this possible without licence?
    I am very confused about this.
    I am looking forward to hear your experience and advices.
    Have a nice day.
    Best Regards.
    Ho.

    Well, instead of being confused, you could go to http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.portal_db?selected=1 and look at
    1) the licensing document, which would tell you whether you need a separate license, and
    2) under the 'Books' tab, look at the Text Application Developer's Guide or the Text Reference manuals for details.
    You could also look for the Oracle Text forum (from the http://forums.oracle.com page, under Database - More, or Text and ask the people who concentrate on that set of features.
    In general, Oracle Text is a set of extensions, the definitions for which are stored under user ctxsys. You would use these extensions by creating your own objects that are based on the extensions.
    For example, suppose your tables contain varchar2 columns. Create indexes that are based on ctxsys's 'context index type' and your application can then use the 'CONTAINS' keyword search capability (which is effectively a ctxsys-owned extension to the select)
    However, you would never log on to ctxsys and do anythibng with that as you risk changing the template code that Oracle has supplied.

    PS: Yes, Oracle Text is included as part of the base database. Most of it is even included in the free Oracle XE database.

  • Edit in Place without installing Oracle Drive

    Hello
    We wish to use the functionality of 'Edit In Place' through our own custom jsp pages however we do not wish to deploy Oracle Drive to users as we want to force them to use the business logic inherent in our custom jsp pages.
    Is there a way of using 'Edit In Place' without deploying Oracle Drive?
    Thanks
    Phil

    Hi Phil,
    You could build your own "edit-in-place" functionality with some custom programming, given that you are writing custom JSP pages.
    The Content DB Development Kit has a topic titled "Custom Web Applications" with an explanation on how to configure custom servlets.
    You could write a custom servlet that uses the Content DB API to update Documents and interact with your custom JSP/HTML page, which could provide an "edit-in-place" GUI.
    You could use a product such as Editize (http://www.editize.com) to provide the editing functionality.
    When the client-side editing is finished, the changes can be sent to your custom servlet, which would update the Document.
    If you build this solution, you may be able to offer it to other Content DB customers!

  • It's very slow to access file server after installed SP1 of Win7.

    I found it's become very slow to access shared files on file server after installed win7 SP1, (windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe),  access same file, the win7 without sp1 is fast in 5 secs, but the pc with sp1 need more than 30 secs. And
    I tried to removed the sp1, everything goes fine, access fast as others.
    I don't understand what's the reason and which feature affected it, I believe the sp1 can help Win7 be more safety, but why the performance on it get worse.
    And I didn't find the same question or tips on forum or website, do you really haven't the issue?

  • Users can't access iCal Server without adminstrator privileges

    I have just installed Apple's Snow Leopard Server, Version 10.6.8. Everything installed just great and with one exception works fine.
    ICal is running on the server. When a client attempts to  access the server he is denied unless he has administrator privileges. For example:
    I open iCal and select "Accounts". I click the + button and for the account type I select "CalDav".  I enter a User Name and Password.  Then the server address.   An error message comes back that states “No CalDav servers were found for [our server address]"
    However, I can then open the Workgroup Manager and give that same user administrator access by checking the check box that states "User Can Administer This Server" and repeat the above process and everything works fine.
    Any ideas are appreciated.

    Same here.  My 9900 will not connect to my cameras on port 81.  However when I tether my Playbook to my 9900 and try to connect using the Playbook browsr it connects.  Is it that the 9900 browser does not like port 81?

  • How to find which windows account owns oracle i.e Installed oracle

    Hi,
    I want to write a script which tells me the name of the Windows account that was used to Install oracle on a machine.
    How can I do this and where can I get this information. I have seen the registries. This information is not there.
    please help

    hi,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I had seen the logs but they are not a very convincing thing. If you have had multiple installations and deinstallations, you will have as many logs in that directory. I have to read this information through scripts.
    It wouldnt be good if I have to read 5-6 log files each around 500KB to 2 MB in size to extract this information, because I have other operations waiting for the output of this script.
    Another problem is that the file names are not consistent. Also, installation and deinstallation logs cannot be differentiated based on file name or any other parameter.
    So I think there might be an alternative way. any ideas?

  • Why client is downloading update from server while installing sccm client.

    Dear team,
    Can anybody give answer to my question?
    I am new to sccm so when I am installing any client software the ccmsetup.log file is showing connecting to the server for downloading updates and it's taking long time to downloading because the office network is very slow 512kbps.But my setup file size
    is 111MB then what updates are downloading from server and is it possible to put that updates in the offline setup.

    You can copy the installer from the SCCM client installers from the SCCM server to the local machine.
    Refer to the below for the switches for installation.
    Use the switch /source:<Path>
    to specify the location of the folder for the installers you copied earlir.

  • Oracle Enterprise Linux - Installing Oracle

    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to install Oracle on Oracle Enterprise Linux. I know, I know...it seems silly to install Oracle on Oracle enterprise Linux. What seems even more ridiculous is that the default install does not include everything you'd need to install Oracle. Here's the error...it's all over Google, but none of the solutions are working for me. Looks like I just need a package, but where do I get it?

    There was a very similar question a few hours ago. You may want to check the answer:
    Packages error while installing Oracle Management Agent.
    Please always post the 4 digit version of Oracle you are trying to install and also the Oracle Linux version / distribution you are using.
    Since you are using Oracle Linux you can use Oracle public yum. Details are here:
    http://public-yum.oracle.com/
    Then all you need to do as root or superuser is:
    yum install libXp.i386
    You may also want to install:
    yum install oracle-validated
    which will also setup the account, kernel parameters, etc.
    Oracle Enterprise Linux is a clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which should explain why it does not include everything you'd need to install Oracle database. As of Oracle Linux 5.5 the product was renamed from OEL to OL and since 5.6 the default kernel is Oracle Linux UEK, which is Oracle customized.

  • How to access Sql Server Express installed on Virtual PC from Host?

     
    I have SQL Server Express 2008 R2 installed on Virtual PC. and on my Host machine i have SQL Server 2008 R2 ( Enterprise Version) installed.
    Since Management studio that comes with SQL express does not support SQL profiler, i want to access SQL Server Express from the Host machine’s management studio which has SQL profiler.
    But I could access it using VM’s ip address & instance name

    Hi lax,
    Follow below steps in your Virtual Machine:
    1. Allow remote connections to this server
    The first thing you want to check is if Remote Connections are enabled on your SQL Server database. In SQL Server 2008 you do this by opening SQL Server 2008 Management Studio, connect to the server in question, right click the server and open the Server Properties.
    Navigate to Connections and ensure that Allow remote connections to this server is checked.
    2.  Protocols for MSSQLServer
    The next good thing to check is the SQL Server Network Configuration. Open the SQL Server Configuration Manager, unfold the node SQL Server Network Configuration and select Protocols for MSSQLServer (or whatever the name of your SQL Server instance is). Make
    sure that TCP/IP is enabled.
    3. The Firewall
    If there is still no communication happening between your computer and the remote SQL Server you most likely need to configure your firewall settings.
    A good first step is to figure out which port is being used by TCP/IP (and which you need to open in your firewall). You can do this by right clicking TCP/IP and selecting Properties. Click on the tab IP Addresses .
    That was easy enough and all there is left to do is to allow inbound TCP/IP traffic on Port 1433 in your firewall. In Windows 7 this works something like this. Open the Control Panel and navigate to Windows Firewall. Click on Advanced Settings on the left hand
    side and you should see the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security. Select the Inboud Rules on the left hand side and click on New Rule on the right hand side. This opens the New Inbound Rule Wizard which you can use to allow inbound traffic on Port 1433
    for TCP/IP.
    For more information, please refer to
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/walzenbach/archive/2010/04/14/how-to-enable-remote-connections-in-sql-server-2008.aspx.
    In host machine:
    After you have done steps above, you could use the SQL Server Management Studio in the host machine to connect the SQL Server Express R2 in Virtual PC. If you installed a default instance in Virtual PC, you could use VirtualComputerName to login the SQL
    Server database engine. If you installed a named instance in Virtual PC, you could use VirtualComputerName\InstanceName to login the SQL Server database engine.
