Hello,
I have two separate problems which I have tried and got
tired to solve and now in need of your help...
No1: Problem with Oracle8 (Personal)
Loaded Personal Oracle8 (8.o.3.) and Oracle Developer
release 2.1. Now there is a problem in connecting them through
Sql*net. { It was fine with Oracle 7.3). Is Oracle 8 compatible
with the latest developer ?
No2: Problem with SQL * Net
In a new m/c P3 with 4GB, NT server and W'95 in each nodes.
loaded Oracle8 w-group server part in server and cleint part in
all the 7 clients. I was trying to connect (for sql*plus) from
each clients but in some while working with SQL * NET Easy
Configuration there is a problem,
"Exception Violation JAVA.EXE"
Dr Watson error"
Please help me.

Thanks a lot

Answer 1

Mr. Manoj Kumar
1. Developer 2.1 and ORACLE8 Personal Edition
Developer 2.1 client is compatible with Oracle 8 server. However,
you will find that SQL*Plus connecting to database without even
giving connect string. But it is not the same with Developer 2.1.
That is because, for SQL*Plus client connect string is optional
and it uses BEQ-LOCAL automatically. For developer2 connect
string is a must.
Also, it depends on which SQL*NET clients you use( like
plus33.exe or plus80.exe etc). The safe bet is to install both
SQL*NET2 with corresponding adaptor (TCP/IP for example) and
NET80 with adaptor AND then have similar TNSNAMES.ORA files in
both $ORACLE_HOME\NET80\ADMIN and $ORACLE_HOME\NETWORK\ADMIN
directories.
I've this following configuration working in my Win 95 PC with
both oracle 8 and developer 2.1.
File : SQLNET.ORA
NAME.DEFAULT_ZONE = world
NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = world
USE_DEDICATED_SERVER = on
#sqlnet.authentication_services = (NONE)
SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME = 0
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, HOSTNAME)
File : LISTENER.ORA
SAVE_CONFIG_ON_STOP_LISTENER = TRUE
LISTENER =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT =
1521))
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = oraclePC)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\orawin95)
(SID_NAME = ORCL)
TRACE_LEVEL_LISTENER = ADMIN
File : TNSNAMES.ORA
BEQ-LOCAL.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = BEQ)(PROGRAM = oracle80)(ARGV0 =
oracle80ORCL)(ARGS =
'(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=BEQ)))'))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = ORCL)
TCP-LOOPBACK.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = ORCL)
Note: If you have configured your PC where oracle8 is installed,
for an IP address, then create one more TNS address node with
that IP address.
Check your listener and database connectivity status with
commands
C:\ORAWIN95\BIN\> LSNRCTL80 STATUS
C:\ORAWIN95\BIN\>TNSPING80 TCP-LOOPBACK
Now you must be able to connect developer to database using
USER/PASSWORD@TCP-LOOPBACK
