Connect Toad freeware with Oracle express Edition, How?

Hello,
Although I know that people will raise the question this is Oracle and use SQL developer... Ok I do that and that is working fine. But on my work they work with TOAD so I like to work with TOAD as well and I want get some knowledge about Toad, TNSNAMES etc.
I've put the issue on TOAD forum as well, but till now I don't have received an answer.
I want to teach/learn myself Oracle by working with the Oracle express edition. I have downloaded the SQL Developer and I can work with it, which means I can create a connection.
Errors when I try to work with TOAD are:
If i try to make a connection:
- "No valid clients found. You need at least one 64-bit client properly configured"
If I click on TNSNames editor:
- Access violation in address xxxxxxx at module TOAD.exe"
I have installed oracle at D:\ORACLE_HOME. In this directory is also a TNSNAMES.ORA file.
I have installed the express edition with the installer. I have first installed the Oracle express edition and later TOAD.
I'm working on my local machine with:
- windows 7 Home
- Oracle 32 bit client:
- Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
- PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
- "CORE 11.2.0.2.0 Production"
- TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
- NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
- TOAD 64-bit freeware.
*Questions:*
*- Are there certain environment variables necessary? Does TOAD expect Oracle at a certain directory?*
*- Is it necessary to add something to the PATH environment variable?*
*- 32-bit Oracle client will working with the 64-bit TOAD freeware?*

If i try to make a connection:
- "No valid clients found. You need at least one 64-bit client properly configured"Listen to that message. A 64-bit program requires 64-bit libraries.
I have installed the express edition with the installer. I have first installed the Oracle express edition and later TOAD.
I'm working on my local machine with:
- windows 7 HomeHome editions are not supported, sorry.
- Oracle 32 bit client:What is it - Client or Server?
- Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production>
- TOAD 64-bit freeware.Perhaps easiest way out is to remove 64-bit Toad and install the 32-bit one instead.

- Are there certain environment variables necessary? Does TOAD expect Oracle at a certain directory?
- Is it necessary to add something to the PATH environment variable?
- 32-bit Oracle client will working with the 64-bit TOAD freeware?
All these should be directed elsewhere, e.g. at some Toad forum, maybe at toadworld.com.

  • How to install Oracle Spacial with Oracle Express Edition 10g?

    Hello,
    I'm new in Oracle Technology, I just wanted to try Oracle Spatial.
    I don't know how to get it so I've installed Oracle Express and followed this tutorial :
    http://oracledbas.blogspot.com/2009/06/manual-installation-of-spatial-10g.html
    They say Jserver, Oracle interMedia and Oracle XML Database have to be installed, but only one of them seems to be set up (XML DB), I can't install the others.
    If someone can help me to install Oracle Spatial, it would be nice. Bye.

    If you want to use Oracle Express Edition, note that the 11.2 version is available on beta now:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/express-edition/overview/index.html
    Its a while since I've used XE but from what I recall you get the Locator functionality, but not Spatial. That makes sense as XE is free, which Spatial needs to be licensed.
    However, you can do an awful lot with Locator. To see if it is setup, just check if you have the MDSYS schema. Then describe the SDO_GEOMETRY type:
    describe mdsys.sdo_geometry
    If they are both there, then you're in business.

  • Using OBIEE with Oracle Express Edition Database? SOLVED

    I have a client that wants a quick demo of OBIEE. They sent us some csv files as the data source. I migrated them to Excel files for easier use, but the Excel files seem to have limitations on how I can combine the columns, such as concatenating and formatting.
    I then loaded them into an Oracle Express Edition database, assuming more "database" functionality would be available to me. I was able to load them into the Administration Tool, but Answers gives me the following error when I try to view any results from the Express database:
    Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).

    Thanks. I got some assistance from a co-worker that is also using Express Edition. (This is also my first use of Express Edition.)

  • Is DBAT Connector  compatible with Oracle Express Edition

    Hi All,
    This is the first time that I would be working with DBAT connector.
    I would need to  start POC on DBAT Connector 11.1.1.5.0 with oracle DB.
    As part of POC, I would like to know,  whether  I would  need to install Oracle EE (10g or 11g or 12g) or Oracle Express edition of the same version would suffice.
    This is just to reduce Oracle  EE license issues for POC.
    Would you kindly suggest.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Please refer the certification table of DBAT connector:
    https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E22999_01/doc.111/e20277.pdf
    Note: The Express edition of any of the above version will work.

    PLEASE HELP ME!!

    Hi Pradeep,
    First of all, go to the registry and search for the key LISTENER_START. Most Probably you'll find the entry as NOAUTO. Change it to AUTO. And while installing FORMS6 make sure that you've installed NET80 products.
    In the most likeliest casec, you'll get a connection . In case you don't, then go and make an entry using NET80 configuratio.
    Tell us more if you have any problem.

  • Java Connection Pooling issue with Oracle 10g Express Edition

    Hello
    I have a Java based web application that uses the Oracle 10g Express Edition database. I am using a connection pool to get connections to the database.
    I use the NetBeans IDE and run my web application on the bundled Tomcat server(5.5.7) that comes with the IDE. Though when I initially run the application from the IDE, the connection pool is set up fine, when I recompile my java code and try to run the application again, I get the following error each time:
    Listener refused the connection with the following error:
    ORA-12516, TNS:listener could not find available handler with the
    matching protocol stack.
    The logs before the error shows up, indicate that the connection pool object is fine and gives me the number of available connections and the number of active connections and so on, which I have printed from the constructor of the Connection Pool class:
    For e.g.:
    Cache size = 17
    Available Connections = 17
    Cache Limit = 1000
    Active size = 0
    However, if I kill my Tomcat server process and run the application again, it works fine with no error.
    I looked around for possible causes and solutions and all I could find
    was increasing the processes parameter value in the init.ora file. I have increased the parameter value to from 100 to 20000 now, in increments of 500/1000 each time but it hasnt worked so far.
    Someone else suggested that I increase the size of my connection pool; I initially had it set to a minimum limit of 5, an initial limit of 10 and a maximum limit of 1000. However if I set the Initial Limit to anything above 17 connections, I see the following log on the Bundled Tomcat log and my application doesn't run at all:
    Log: Loading JDBC Driver : class=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver ...
    Log: Loaded JDBC Driver
    Log: Connection with URL=jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe as username/password
    Error code not handled : 0
    Exception Message :java.sql.SQLException: Listener refused the connection with the following error:
    ORA-12519, TNS: no appropriate service handler found
    The Connection descriptor used by the client was:
    localhost:1521:xe
    // End of log
    And the Bundled Tomcat server automatically shuts down.
    Again the System.out statements from the Connection Pool class constructor show that the cache has been initialized and that currently there are free connections available in the pool.
    E.g.
    Cache size = 18
    Available Connections = 18
    Cache Limit = 1000
    Active size = 0
    Has anyone faced anything similar? Could someone please suggest what I'm doing wrong here and what I should do to set right this problem?

    hello, please pardon me, my english is basic. i do of my best. i had the same problem until reading the pdf documentation 2 days for java devvelloper.it is simple, follow this way.
    try {OracleDataSource ds;

      ds = new OracleDataSource();
      ds.setURL("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost");
      conn = ds.getConnection("userid","password");
    Statement stmt = conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
    don't forget to Dowload the user client of oracle Express Edition. do the rest of your program and it will work. take a look to the documentation pdf for java develloper. all it is explained.  good look                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  • How can I start using Oracle Express Edition

    Good afternoon, how can I start using Oracle Express Edition? I have it installed it but I can not enter any user or key that allows me to manage the program from the Internet. I have understood that this version is free.
    Correct me I'm wrong and please do noted me. In my country this course very expensive and I'm looking to learn on my own.
    Edited by: user12301712 on 03-dic-2009 9:46

    Hi
    During installation wizard asked you about password for SYS and SYSTEM user, you had to set it. If you forgot you can loggin to ORACLE via SQL plus without password:
    c:\>SQLPLUS / sys as sysdba
    after connect you can set new password for any user, for example (SYSTEM user):
    ALTER USER SYSTEM identified by NEW_PASSWORD;
    After this you can login to APEX (Internet enviroment)
    Remember Oracle it's not only Internet frontend, it's huge tools with many functions. If you need study Oracle you need many time and zest but it is worth-while.
    Yes Oracle XE is free (read licence agreement).

  • Can we use JVM and/or Oracle Multimedia with the Express Edition?

    Hi!
    I wonder if there is any way to instal/use/activate JVM (implement java classes) and/or Oracle Multimedia?
    I want to make a little application that would exploit those features ...
    Can we do this with Oracle Express?
    If so, how do I proceed?
    Thanks everyone.

    SadWell...
    i was surprised that I have'nt been ask for a licence code or something...That's part of Oracle's distribution concept - you need to think about proper licensing yourself, until you get an audit. As you already mentioned, there could be user licensing - hard to manage with entering codes. On the other hand, there are OTN licensed downloads for development and evaluation purposes that don't need a paid license. Oracle doesn't want to build different packages for that, so you get exactly the same software for development your paying customer has for production.
    So...
    So, knowing this, is it legal if I install it and exploit it for my own purposes?I recommend reading the OTN license you've accepted before downloading the files.
    As I indicated above, it will (usually) allow you develop any application using any database release (including SE or even EE), without additional licensing. You need to make sure you never actually do any productive or testing-like activity on instances that are used under that license. Note that OTN license does not include support, so you are not allowed to install any patch you may have obtained from MOS using one of your companies support ids on such an instance.
    is there any 'personnal' licence (less expensive that the $350 per user (minimum 5 users)) i can buy for myself to legally use it?If you think what you do is not covered by the OTN license, there is "Oracle Database Personal Edition". See [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/license.112/e10594/editions.htm#CJADFHGH]Database Licensing Information for details on the differences between the available database editions. According to the current price list, it's at $460 + $101.20 per year for support at the moment. The cheapest way to get a personal instance with access to patches & co.
    BTW: There is also Standard Edition One at $180 per user, but probably still a little too expensive for personal use, because the 5-users-rule applies.

    If you want to load HTML file content as structured data, you have 2 basic choices.
    If the HTML is XHTML compliant, then you can process it using the XML functions and XDB features of Oracle. The likelihood that it conforms to XHTML is slight though - very few web systems and services (to my knowledge) dish up XHTML. And plain HTML is not compliant.
    The 2nd choice - well, a dirty one as you will need to find some kind of method to change HTML data into structured data. You can use a HTML parser that builds a HTML DOM - Gecko can be used for example. However, this is not a trivial exercise.
    So instead you can also look at creating code that specifically support the HTML content that you need to process (these should use a static formatting model for the same page types). You can use string processing (Perl, lex, awk, regex, etc) to extract the usable data content from the HTML file and then load that into Oracle as structured data.
    Whatever the method - if not XHTML, then you can expect a fair deal of complexity loading structured data from HTML content.

  • Connect as: normal with Oracle 12c and Toad 12 FAILS.

    Connect as: normal with Oracle 12c and Toad 12 FAILS.
    I've been looked at forums, blogs and wikies but I couldn't found why my new user, that I created before, can't connect as NORMAL but as SYSDBA it can.
    I don't know why this occurs.
    My intention is create a user/schema in a local DB to have my own db.
    I can create a new user but when I go to connect to this new schema I only connect as SYSDBA, this is a big trouble because I can "see" object's DBA and I don't want this, I want create my own new schema db and not share name's object or name's tables with DBA.
    For example, object JOB exists as SYSDBA and I can't create a new table with this name.
    Please, help me.
    Thanks very much for read me.
