DB creation in Oracle 10g XE for Windows

Pls. help, I can't create a new db (CAFE). I already created the init.ora and the db creation script. But everytime I ran the said script in sql it displays this error:
" Error at line 1:
ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
ORA-01504: database name 'CAFE' does not match parameter db_name 'XE'"
Another thing is that, I can't find the default path of oracle, re: $ORACLE_HOME.

People coming from other systems get confused with terminology,
You might be happy using the XE database and simply creating a new schema. A LOT of people use the term database when they really mean schema.
A schema is simply an Oracle database user that has the privileges to create database objects such as tables and views. An Oracle database can contain any number of schemas. A regular user is then given permission to access objects in the various schemas.

Oracle 10g R2 for Windows ignores init.ora and registry values

Hello,
I have a strange issue. I try to set some parameters for Oracle but it doesn't seem to work.
Here the story:
I created the DB with the DBCA under windows and set my init parameter at frist creation with 3 important values:
OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX = ""
REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT=TRUE
remote_login_passwordfile=EXCLUSIVE
this values are in the Registry and the init.ora and the init.ora.7192011143454 in ORAHOME_DB/scripts and pfile
I've now changed these parameters in the init.ora and registry to:
OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX = ""
REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT=FALSE
remote_login_passwordfile=EXCLUSIVE
and restarted the whole system - after the restart I checked the value for REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT:
show parameter remote_os_authent
NAME TYPE VALUE
remote_os_authent boolean TRUE
It keeps true. But why it keeps true why I can't change this value anymore after the DBCA?
Do I miss something?
Thanks

show parameter spfile;
NAME TYPE VALUE
spfile string C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\DB_1\DATABASE\SPFILEMACSCURR.ORA
NAME TYPE VALUE
I have created a new spfile from my init.ora with:
create spfile='C:\oracle\product..toMyInstanceDbs\ioglnx.ora' from pfile='C:\pathToPfile\DBHOME\scripts\init.ora'
So the problems as it seem to me to instrcut oracle to use my new spfile...in Windows.

Oracle gateway for Oracle 10g DB on Windows 64 bit server

Is there any place that I can find Oracle dateway for Oracle 10g DB on Windows 64 bit server? I can only find Gateway for Oracle 11g on Windows 32 bit server. Please help me to identify this. Thanks.

yingkuan:
Thanks a lot. The link tells the details. It seems that Oracle has not release Gateway for Oracle database 10.2.0.x on Windows 64 bit server. Probably they don't do it.
So under this circumstance, if I want to install Gateway (32 bit) on Oracle 10.2.0.3 DB on Windows 64 bit server for Teradata, I probably have to install Gateway software in another Oracle Home, then configure it right. Please give more advice on this. 32 bit Gateway will work for 64 bit database?

Corrupt Data1.cab in Oracle Express 10g Universal for Windows

Hello Oracle Folks,
I downloaded several times Oracle Express 10g Universal for Windows (OracleXEUniv.exe) and tried to install it and I get every time the same error message: "Error 1335. The required file "Data1.cab" is corrupt and cannot be used ...". When I download the Western European Edition (OracleXE.exe) the installation works! I downloaded the file on different local disks to exclude the risk that my disk is damaged.
Can you please check if this download is sane!
Thanks and best regards Thomas Mayr

Amazing reply Hans.
I have seen some arrogent smart mouth answers in my time. But this really takes the cake. Also judging from the icon you are some kind of employee of oracle. Wow! Now that shows respect for your users.
Sorry to disappoint you - I am not an employee of Oracle. Much of your rant is irrelevant.
I am simply a person who has volunteered enough time to provide over 8,000 repsonses in these forums and many more in other forums.
Many, many, many of the questions are pure repetition due to the extreme laziness, incompetence or inability to do basic thinking by the questioners. There are also a lot of questions by 'newbies' who have obviously made an attempt to research the problem.
My approach to answering questions is simple and two-fold:
- make the person angry enough, or aware ennough, that they will think a bit when asking the next question;
- if they ask a question intelligently (http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html) I usually am convinced to help.
(And yes, I do take longer breaks when I find myself being frustrated enough to provide answers like the above.)
The stupid installation program for your stupid database was supposed to check the version of the Operating System. Anyway how does the operating system version matter if a cab file is corrupted? which was incidently packed in that stupid download link which you have happily given to all customers all this time. I was hoping to find that since you guys are too lazy to make the installation file properly you might have atleast bothered to put up a download link for that stupid Data1.cab. But nooo... The 'stupid installation program' is indeed that - a stupid installation program. It does a certain amount of checking, but definitely not enough. In that I do agree with you. It was also released too early - basrely understands how to spell Vista.
Also, there is an assumption by Oracle that the person downloading reads the documentation, especially the installation guide, that is available at the same location as the download. It is amazing and extremely disappointing to note how many people will not even attempt to look at the link.
The real sad part for me is that I frequently download software (and did again in this case) to verify that the user has a legitimate complaint. The 'data1.cab' that I received was not corrupt. Therefore I conclude the original poster made some huge assumption that is likely invalid. Now, I did install into an XP machine, and that could make a difference.
As for the 'you guys' statement - perhaps you should take that up with Oracle or an Oracle employee. Directing at me is an unsubstantiated assumption on your part. <g>
>
I wasted some time thinking I would check out the db for development, got the same error and after seeing your mealy mouthed response to that poor guy who was asking a valid question, I think I won't bother anymore. You see, there is this amazing thing called Linux and MySQL..
Yup. You could easily go there. Shows yet another assumption. (In fact, my company is centered around Linux and Oracle. And I have made a conscious decision, based on 3 decades of experience, to toss MySQL and stick with Oracle. And now that Sun, which owns MySQL, seems to be on the auction block, the future of MySQL is definitely up in the air.)
However, given how many assumptions you make and how valid they are, you may find it easier to stick with MySQL. Oracle Express edition potentially could save huge buckets of time and effort in the long run, but it does require reading, research and other skills to get up to speed.
Now, as to your problem
1) This is not the forum to discuss issues with installation. (If the problem is traced to the download source, then this is the right spot.)
2) There is a dedicated forum for Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Express Edition (Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)
3) You are absolutely correct that the installer should be smart enough to check the OS. It does not.
4) Since it does not, and since there are differences, knowing which version AND edition of Windows (or which Linux distro and release) is critical to troubleshooting.

Can we install oracle 10g database on Windows Vista Home Edition?

Can we install oracle 10g database on Windows Vista Home Edition?

You didn't specify which Oracle10 Edition.
In the case of SE/SE one/EE, with a paid license Supported has a mean impact on production environments with paid licenses, since you wouldn't run on an unsupported platform facing the risk of being left without technical support from Oracle in case of an emerging issue.
For the XE Edition, this is not a certified combination, since the only certified editions are the Business, Enterprise, and the Ultimate editions, but you can try it, you don't have nothing to loose, supported, certified vs. unsupported in this case makes no difference since this XE is not supported either way (no patchsets, no bug fixes, no technical support from metalink), just an AS IS free software.
On the license agreement terms displayed when you download the XE software it states:
"No Technical Support
Our technical support organization will not provide technical support, phone support, or updates to you for the programs licensed under this agreement."
and
"THE PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE FURTHER DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE."
In case someone would be able to win a trial against oracle due to damage from the use of this software, the amount paid at maximum is 1,000.00 USD, not enough to even pay the lawyer's lunches.
For the XE users the primary source of 'kind of support' is the oracle forums, either the installation forum, the general database or the specialized XE forum.
Of course if this is for your own personal use for learning and testing and there are no third parties you could damage by doing this and if you don't have a paid license for this installation you may try it, but don't expect the Enterprise Manager to behave as defined by the manual, most of it won't work since the Home Edition doesn't have the privileges required for EM to work.
If this is your personal computer and when you bought it the computer provider installed from factory Home Edition, and if you want something to work there, you can try to install a Virtual Machine and install Oracle 10g on a supported guest OS.

Oracle 10g installation on Windows 2008 VMware

Hi everybody,
hope you can help me with that issue; I try to install a ECC 6.0 test-system with Oracle 10g on a Windows 2008 VMware instance.
I am getting a strange error when executing sapserver.cmd when I try to install the Oracle software; the Oracle Universal Installer 10.2 is aborting at the very beginning with an error popup with following content. First I enter the Drive letter for installation and SID and then OUI trys to start...
The program was not closed properly. An internal error occured. Please provide Oracle support with following datas:
"unknown"
"unknown"
"unknown"
Any ideas? I did not find anything in Metalink or on the SAP Marketplace. And I am aware that Oracle is not official supported on VMWare; on Windows 2003 I did not occur any similar problems.
kind regards
Philipp

The OUI doesn´t work (yet) on Windows 2008, you will need to wait for the OUI 10.2.0.4.

Difference between Oracle 10g 64 bit /Oracle 10g 32 Bit Windows

Hi all
We are using 10g Oracle 32 Bit windows as well as Oracle 10g 64 Windows at some installations.
Now we tested these two systems in our office for Testing purpose on two similar machines i.e
Intel i3 with 4 GB RAM. Database size approx 4GB
We had the feeling that :-
a) Oracle datafile Filesize limitation may be there in 32 Bit system but we saw that physically around 3.5 GB datafile size
is created in 32 Bit windows also
b) Data Fetching Speed -.We thought that data fetching speed would be higher in 64 Bit machine. But we proved to
be wrong. Our sample data had approx 7 Millions records (based on Client Live data for 3 years) total in around 20 transaction tables. Further there were other additional 100-150 tables but very smaller ones just master tables
We used the same client end machine and same Front end and same queries on both servers. To our surpriise - We got the almost similar results in terms of data fetching time in both the 32 Bit as well as 64 Bit windows with similar Oracle 10g 32 bit and Oracle 64 Bit respectively
Further we find that Anti Virus Programme which may be any say Symatentic or other - troubles much more in Windows 64 Bit environment as compared to Windows 32 Bit environment from settings point of view.
Kindly advise as to
a) Whether our above observations are correct
b) Now under what situations should we use Oracle 10g 64 Windows as compared to Oracle 10g 32 Bit windows

Compliance of Oracle 10g R2 with Windows XP SP2

Hello everybody
I am representing my company for making a decision of deploying appropriate versions for Oracle and Windows.
The vendor suggested Oracle 9 on Windows Server 2003, whereas we opted for deploying Oracle 10g R2 with Windows XP SP2.
According to the vendor
XP is not a true 'server' product and therefore does not provide many server functions and may have restrictions on numbers of users that can connect.
If the vendor's notion is correct, would anyone explain the limitations/restrictions of our solution.

One of the first problems that you will encounter, inbound connections limit in Windows XP:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314882
Memory allocations are handled differently between Windows 2003 and XP (paged pool, non-paged pool, file system caching, etc.):
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778.aspx
In some cases the memory allocation differences can cause XP to display errors indicating "unable to allocate memory from the paged pool" or the non-paged pool, when Windows 2003 would otherwise continue functioning without problem. Windows 2003 offers a registry change to work around this problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312362
Microsoft will stop making Windows XP available for resale in June 2008, except on extremely light-weight computers, and update support will end before update support ends for Windows 2003.
There are typically differences in the hardware that ships with a computer loaded with Windows XP and one that ships with Windows 2003. You will have a hard time finding a computer with Windows XP that ships with redundant power supplies, dual backplanes, SCSI RAID 10 support, dual network interfaces, built-in system/diagnostics, etc.
While Windows 2003 is the server equivalent of Windows XP, there are many features in Windows 2003 that are not available in Windows XP. XP is designed to be rebooted frequently (shut down every night, or reboot once a week or once a month) and is geared toward foreground application performance. Windows Server 2003 is designed to be rebooted infrequently (apply security updates, recover from rare system fatal bugs) and is geared toward providing good background application performance (the Oracle database instance would be a background application).
If you are unfamilar with Windows Server 2003, take a look at the books "Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Administrator's Companion" by Microsoft Press and "Mastering Windows Server 2003" by Sybex. Compare what you find in those books with what you might find in Microsoft's Windows XP Resource Kit book.

When will Oracle 10g/11g support Windows Server 2008 and AIX6.1

Hi all
I'm sorry if I post it in a wrong place... But I really want to know when will Oracle 10g/11g support Windows Server 2008 and AIX 6.1?
I've searched in metalink but found nothing useful. Is there anybody can give me a link of Oracle's roadmap for platform support?
Thanks!

Oracle does not announce release dates and neither
does any other software company.But Oracle does have a very good track record of supporting their products on new windows releases extremely close to the windows release date. Clearly they can't support on an unreleased platform though. Given that the launch of Server 2008 isn't even complete worldwide yet (19th March in the UK for example) it would seem that this enquiry is a little premature.
