Connectiing 10g Express Edition on XP to Visual Basic

I have written a VB6 application and want to connect it to Oracle 10g express edition running on XP home edition. Do I need to install any ODBC drivers or are they included in XP and/or oracle? Any help gratefully received and I dont mind installing 10g full edition if I have to. Thanks.

When you install Oracle XE , Oracle also install oracle ODBC driver for Oracle XE.
Also MS give MS ODBC driver for oracle, but it is good to use Oracle ODBC driver.

My database version is 10.2.0.1.0 Oracle express.
Operating system is Windows Vista.
I started installing using the following commands.
@ C:\temp\apex\apexins.sql
it prompts me for the values of sysaux sysaux temp and c:\temp\apex\images\
If I supply the value for images the sqlplus window closes after scrolling a lot of info.
Enroute it also prompts me for a value for 9:
I don't know what the input shall be.
Then it again stops at enter value for version:
I used 3.2.1.0
The window scrols a while and closes.
later I changed the password and ran the command.
@c:\temp\apex\apxldimg.sql c:\temp
but no success with installation.
the output is as following.

How can i create a new database instance in oracle 10g express edition?

hello everybody
i'm a student
i am developing a database application
i'm using oracle 10g express edition
to run my application i need to create another database instance
but i didn't find any option for doing so in that product
if there is pls tell me where it is?
if not pls tell me how to manually create it?
regards,
Chaitanya

Chaitanya Babu M wrote:
yaa i'm sure about that .
i want one more instance of database.Can you perhaps explain why? I have a fair share of production and development servers - and not a single one of them needs to run more than one database instance.
So I'm interested in what requirement you are trying to satisfy by using two database instances on a single platform.
Oh yeah - if you want to create a custom XE instance (different SID, different tablespace sizes, more/less PL/SQL stuff installed, hack standard), make a copy of your XE db creation script (in your XE's +$ORACLE_HOME/bin+ and called createdb.sh ) and modify that for your needs.
PS. even with a different SID, only a single XE instance can be run at a time - you can however have 2 different ones defined and then use one at a time (e.g. testing international settings, init param differences, etc.)

10g Express Edition on Windows 2008 Enterprise R2 x64 with Active Directory

I have successfully installed the 10g Express Edition on Windows 2008 Ent. r2 x64 with Microsoft Active Directory Domain Controller but i could not be able to run http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
Although i have run the http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex on my another Windows 2008 R2 x64 ant WITHOUT Active Directory Domain Controller Role.
i think its related with AD Domain server role of my server, because i run that on same config and operation without Active Directory Domain Controller role.
Can anyone help about this issue?
thanks in advance

I have experienced the same problem - running 10g Express on a Win 2008 (32-bit). When not being a Domain controller, the install was fine. When installing after the server had been given the Domain Controller role (+the required DNS), it failed. NO FIREWALLS are involved on the server. Seems like Oracle Express has problems being installed in this kind of environment - independent of x32 or x64 bit OS.

Oracle 10G Express Edition No Oracle Spatial

I have been test driving 10G Express Edition. I tried to create our schema in it only to find that the mdsys.sdo_geometry datatype is unknown. It looks like Oracle Spatial is not part of Express Edition. Can anyone confirm?
SEVERE: Unsuccessful: create table ASSET_REFERENCE (ASSET_REFERENCE_ID number(19,0) not null, ASSET_NAME varchar2(256 char), ASSET_URI varchar2(256 char), SPATIAL_EXTENT mdsys.sdo_geometry, START_DATE timestamp, END_DATE timestamp, COORD_SYS_WKS varchar2(256 char), primary key (ASSET_REFERENCE_ID))
[hibernatetool] Nov 21, 2005 7:56:50 PM org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport create
[hibernatetool] SEVERE: ORA-00902: invalid datatype

Oracle Spatial is an option for Enterprise Edition. It is not even available for Standard Edition and Express Edition is a subset of Standard Edition
Related - interMedia requires Java and that is not in Express. Although the Locator subset does not use Java, it is part of interMedia and therefore is also not in Express.
We are asking Oracle to reconsider and add Locator, and possibly add Java as a post-install option.

Yes, you can have as many Oracle homes as you require and as the host can hold, as long as you are careful and disciplined with the way you manage your ORACLE_HOME and PATH environment variables.
