Can't connect to SQLPlus

Hi all,
I've installed Oracle9i Database Release 2, everything went ok during the installation.
When I try to connect to the SQLPlus I get the error:
"ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name".
I've checked and set up the REGEDIT in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\TNS_ADMIN
and
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\Home1\TNS_ADMIN
Where TNS_ADMIN is the directory of my Oracle home (Ora9iDB)
My tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files I think are corretly configurated. Please see below, the database that I'm trying to connect to is TEST.OEMREP.LAN:
# TNSNAMES.ORA Network Configuration File: C:\Ora9iDB\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

The weird thing is that I can connect without problems to
the SQLPlus worksheet and to a PL/SQL Developer that I've download from http://www.allroundautomations.nl/PL/SQL.
I tried to TNSPing the connection from DOS but I get the same problem.
Could you please help me out on this?
Thank you,
Lilian

Lillian,
I think you may need to read up a little more on logging into SQL*Plus/Oracle, and the various users and roles created by default.
Are you trying to connect as SYSDBA, or a standard user? I would suggest you use command line SQL*Plus instead of the Windows GUI.
Open a DOS/Command window and enter something like the following to connect as SYSDBA:
sqlplus username/password AS SYSDBA
or
sqlplus / AS SYSDBA
or
sqlplus / AS SYSDBA@mydb
There are many ways to connect.

Tnsping ok, but sqlplus can't connect ora-12154

Hello All, I have installed on my linux the 10.1.0.3 oracle client and I can do tnsping to my tnsnames.ora databases but I can't connect with sqlplus... I have an error: ora-12154
I have readed metalink documentation and I think everything is ok, but still can't connect... :( Can anybody help me please?
Here is some extra data:
-My env vars are:
ORACLE_HOME=/home/j0nuntu/OraHome_1
TNS_ADMIN=/home/j0nuntu/OraHome_1/network/admin
TNSNAMES=/home/j0nuntu/OraHome_1/network/admin
-My tnsnames.ora:

(CONNECT_DATA =

As I said, tnsping to test or oracle is ok... tnsnames.ora is in the correct path and there it has 775 perms on it. What can be happening?
Thanks in advance.

Also, make sure it is using the correct tnsnames.ora file.
Do you have multiple copies of this file in different directories?
post the contents of your sqlnet.ora file as well.

Cannot connect via sqlplus as sysdba

Hi,
I have Oracle 10g setup on Redhat Enterprise v4. I was able to do everything I needed until I rebooted. Now I can't connect using sqlplus. I get error ora-01031 when I type "connect system/*** AS SYSDBA" Anyone know what why this is happening?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam

According to me this should be dba, why its showing the group as oracle?I'm not sure why it's showing up as oracle. Do I need to change this? As far as I can tell, oracle is a group that no user is a member of.
Did you ever able make connection using / as sysdba?On this computer, I don't think I ever logged in as sysdba other than just as a system user.
What group did you specify while installing the software?groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
groupadd oper
usermod -g oinstall -G dba oracle
Pretty much followed http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2InstallationOnRedHatAS4.php and the oracle docs on installation.

I can't connect Oracle 7.3.2.1.0 by sqlplus anymore!

Hi!
I have an Oracle 7.3.2 for Irix installed before.
When I install Oracle 8.0.5 for Linux without Pro*C,
I can connect Oracle 7.3.2 by "sqlplus scott/tiger@remote".
But if I include Pro*C installed, I can't connect Oracle
7.3.2 by the same command anymore.
What should I do to solve this problem?
I can compile Pro*C program but get the same response :
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
password is right for sure, server just doesn't accept.
null

My problem is a little different from your. I have both
Oracle 7.3.2 and 8.0.4 on our Sun workstation. I can connect
to Oracle 8.0.4 using both sqlplus and embeded SQL. However,
I could not connect to Oracle 7.3.2 by sqlplus or embeded SQL.
Error Message: ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host
or object does not exist
It's is a bug or it's not support to connect to old Oracle
Version??? If anyone have a solution please let me know.

Sqlplus problem, can't connect

Ok, so I managed to finally install Oracle 11g R1 on Ubuntu 8.04 Linux_64.
I can successfully connect over the URL https://IP:1158/em
I unlocked the HR example account with it's tables and gave it a new password. When I type sqlplus from command line, it starts and then I uter HR for user and it's password and I get that error...
As far as I am aware Oracle is running, what could be wrong ?
I am running a dual-cpu AMD64 2.2 each with 4GB ram.

Owb can connect sqlserver, sqlplus+ can't.

I created a non-oracle location connection in owb and can load data from sqlserver to warehouse. Now, I want to use sqlplus or sqldeveloper to connect sqlserver directly, But I got this error message"ora-03135:connection lost contact".
How can I connect sqlserver in sqldeveloper or sqlplus?
Thanks

Napo,
I think it is impossible to directly connect to MS SQLServer with Oracle developer tools (SQL*Plus and SQL Developer).
Heterogeneous Services contains two components - HS in Oracle database and Agent,
and according documentation most of the processing related to heterogeneous connectivity is done in Oracle database.
When you try to connect with SQL*Plus directly to SQL Server you use only Agent component, so I think appearing of error ora-03135 is expected behavior.
But you can create in Oracle DB schema database link based on HS connect string and after that you can access MS SQL Server tables over this database link.
Regards,
Oleg

Sqlplus can't connect to database from within a Virtual PC

Yes I know it's not supported but this question is for those people who want to help or have actually got it working :-)
I have an XP machine with a 10gR2 database.
I have a virtual machine on that XP machine which has the 10gR2 client installed on it.
While the configuration doesn't necessarily make sense (normally you'd put the database in the VM ) it's done for testing reasons.
All firewalls are off. The database is up and connections to is are fine from other machines.
The virtual PC can ping the host and tnsping the listener without a problem but any attempt to connect using sqlplus gives an error

Connect to SqlPLus

Hi to everybody
I installed oracle Client 10g-home2 in my laptop having the Windows 7 Home premium OS.. But I cant able to connect with
SQLPLUS. After entering the Username,password,hoststring it is exiting.. It doesn't show any errors..
Can anyone tel whats the problem also whats the username,password and host string need to give??
How can I check If oracle Database is installed or not??
Thanks in advance

There are several issues with the information you have posted.
First, you have installed the client - this is software needed to access a database on a remote computer. This does not include the software needed to create a database. For this, you will need to install the full blown software (which also includes the client piece) and create a database.
Second, no Oracle software is supported/certified on any Windows Home version. You will need to upgrade to Win 7 Professional or higher, or downgrade to Win XP Pro.
The database software download for 11gR2 is available here - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html
The Install Guide for 11gR2 is here (for Win) - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16773/toc.htm
When you install the software on a supported OS, one of the options is to create a database (typically named "orcl") during the install process - you select a password when creating the database. Or you could install the software first, then create a database using DBCA (database creation assistant) - pl review the Guide posted above

Can't connect to Express Edition 11g by sql developer

hello,
i installed the 11g edition and try to connect to it by sql developer. it didn't work, then I noticed there was an older version (10g) on the laptop. So i removed both, and installed the 11g version, but still it doesn't work.
My laptop runs on 32-bit windows 7 so I got the 32bit installer of 11g.
I checked several other threads, but didn't found a solution.

The error message indicates that Oracle XE is not running. You can check that in several ways, e.g. by entering Computer Management - select Services and check if OracleServiceXE and OracleXETNSListener are running.
You can also check log files (*.log,*.trc) in directory C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\diag\rdbms\xe\xe\trace and look for error messages.the services were started.

I don't quite understand the mention of hostname related to sqlplus, do you have several Oracle installations? On a machine with Oracle XE you can normally select "Run Sql Command Line" and you are prompted like this:

Oracle Enterprise Manager can't connect to database after installation

Hello, I have a problem with Enterprise Manager. I installed Oracle 10g and the patch 10.2.0.2. After install, I could connect to database from SqlPlus without problems, but when I try to connect from AllPrograms - Oracle - DatabaseControl or since the Web browser with http://servername:1158/em nothing happen. I reviewed the status of dbconsole with emctl status dbconsole but the status is running. I recreated the repository with emca -deconfig.......-repos drop and emca -config ...... -repos create , but nothing happened. I reviewed some threads in this forum, but I didn't find the solution. Finally I could connect from the browser but with http://localhost:1158/em. Do you help me how can I connect from Database Control, because the operators in Computer Center should monitor the instance since there, and when I want to connect since my own PC how can do it?
Thanks for your help and excuse my English, I am from Bogotá Colombia.
Sincerely Rubén

Hi,
Check the network connectivity between db server and pc from where u want to access em.
Check the listener service.
Check firewall settings, it should be off.

Can I just issue sqlplus command like a Korn shell does in python?

Hi
I have a question on python as an Oracle DBA. Do I have to have cx_oracle or another similar compenent in order to access Orade database? Can I just do sqlplus like a Korn shell does?
I am an Oracle DBA. Daily job requires shell scripting. I am skilful at Korn/BASH which I use on a daily basis to interact with database. However, I found them not powerful and flexible enough to handle text and strings. I am new to both Perl and Python. I pick Python because it is easy to read and maintain. Learning curve is not as steep as Perl.
I am not a developer who cares much about data types compatability or APIs. I do care about how to pass Unix variables in Python. A typical task is like
=================================================
set Unix environment variables (each database has a line in a file)
use sqlplus to connect to each database specified in the file, i.e. looping
get information I want and store them in files, i.e. logs
end loop
do text/string manipulation againt the log file
if error is found, send email alert to DBA
=================================================
Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,
Python has some great libraries to do what you are asking in the Unix enviornment:
To get enviornmental variables:
====================
import os
# store the env var audit_username in a variable; if it doesn't exist, use 'davew' as the default
username = os.getenv("audit_username",default='davew')
To run Unix commands:
====================
import commands
# run a command from unix (example from Python manual
commands.getstatusoutput('ls /bin/ls')

Can't connect to APEX 3.0.1

HI! I have a problem with APEX 3.0.1. I install it into Oracle XE 10g (with APEX 2.1). After that a can't connect to the Oracle Application Express Administration Services to create a workspace. My SYS and (or) SYSTEM password don't work. I receive "Invalid Login Credentials", but other soft (plsqldev, sqlplus) connect to database with my password without any problems... Is any way to settle this problem?

Look at this:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/3.0.1_and_xe.html
Once you complete the standard install, you need to perform the following steps to complete the upgrade:
1. Connect to SQL*Plus as SYS
2. @APEX_HOME/apex/apxldimg.sql APEX_HOME
3. @APEX_HOME/apex/apxxepwd.sql password
(where password is the password of the Application Express internal ADMIN account)
For the steps above, APEX_HOME is the directory where the Application Express software was unzipped.
