DB in WXP, SQL/PLUS in WXP too

Hello ORACLE'rs:
First, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place [this is my first in this forum]; is some of the admins/moderators believe this thread should be moved, please go ahead.
Well, this is my question/issue:
We have our Oracle 9i DB in a Sun Solaris server at work; we basically use SQL PLUS or Oracle PLSQL Developer to program/edit our scripts.
I would like to use the same environment at home using WINDOWS XP; I want to develop at home, but I dont' have a Solaris server I can use, so I need to setup a DB in my WXP machine at home. Of course, I'll be using SQL PLUS to work on that DB at home.
What DB version should I download, take home, install and use?
Is there a place in the oracle OTN site or this forum that has info on this??
Thanks in advance
Alfonso Sanchez

Thanks GFPIKE, this seems to be just what I need:
Developers working on PHP, Java, .NET, XML, and Open Source applications
DBAs who need a free, starter database for training and deployment
Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and hardware vendors who want a starter database to distribute free of charge
Educational institutions and students who need a free database for their curriculum
For now I just want it for my PL/SQL development.

Problem running SQL PLUS in Oracle 8i and 9i on Windows XP

I've tried installing both Oracle 8.17 Personal Edition and also 9i in Windows XP Professional (each on a different occassion). I have run into the same problem each time. The installation itself goes fine in both cases, but when I run SQL PLUS, the Log On screen appears for 1-2 seconds then whole thing just closes automatically, so I can't ever access that application which is the only thing I need to work with. Any ideas on what's going wrong? Thanks.

Patrick,
Well a few things. Did you try TNSPING to see if the listener is up? If it's ok, can you connect with FREE toad? Download Oracle OEM and install that (the SQL net and sql plus portions). If you can't get tnsping to work, sqlplus isn't going too either. I don't know why the sqplus is actually shutting down, but I'm guessing the TNS NAMES entry isnt there (in the tnsnames.ora file). If the tnsnames entry is there then tnsping should work. Get tnsping to work first.

Control-C in SQL*Plus on Windows

Hi,
I use the "command-line-looking" sqlplus.exe (not sqplplusw.exe) Client version 10.2.0.1.0 on my Win-XP PC.
An annoying "feature" of this SQL*Plus, is that it closes when I press ctrl-c.
For example, when a multiple-lines output is running in the window and I want to stop it (there is no "Cancel" button in this SQL*Plus),
I have to be carefull not to press ctrl-c too many times.
Or when I start an Anonymous PL/SQL block - I have no way to end editing without executing it, but to enter some nonsense text and execute to failure.
Anyone knows how to avoid the window closure, or perform these 2 actions without using control-c ?
Thanks a lot,
S.

instead of starting sqlplus.exe, start a CMD window, and then start sqlplus. if you ctrl-c too many times (or if it registers after the last of the output has been displayed) it will close the sqlplus executable. if you start in a cmd window, and sqlplus.exe closes, you're back to the cmd prompt, and all of you previous output/sql is still there.
make a shortcut for sqlplus, and for it's "target", use the following:
cmd.exe /k sqlplus

NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - ProductionOS is AIX 5.3 for Oracle 10 and AIX 6.1 for Oracle 11.
We are currently in the process of migrating some applications from Oracle 10 to 11. Our admins have setup a new development system for us with an Oracle 11 instance. Regarding performance the new system behaves more or less the same than our old, e.g. when executing SQLs we notice hardly any performance differences and those we find are slightly in favour of the new system.
But now we discovered that the time it takes to establish a database connection via SQL*Plus is longer on the Oracle 11 system. Running the following code
sqlplus -s user/pw@database <<END
quit
ENDa thousand times takes ~60s under Oracle 10 but ~140s under Oracle 11. This may not seem much but we are running a test framework consisting of a bunch of shell scripts where several thousand connections are openend via SQL*Plus to execute some SQLs, so that even this small time difference results in rather huge difference in total runtime. The SQLs themself require roughly the same time in both databases, as already mentioned above they are in fact slightly faster in Oracle 11.
To analyze the time difference I ran a trace for the connect with the following parameters in sqlnet.ora
TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT=4
TRACE_UNIQUE_CLIENT=ONand found out that there is a time difference of about 70ms during the connect handshake:

(1) [22-MAR-2013 13:33:40:618] nscon: got NSPTRS packetAny ideas what could be the reason for this time difference? Something in our network configuration or something else?

With local connections - I do not think a TCP packet send from an IP to the same IP, leaves the interface as an actual wire protocol/signal. If I'm correct, then running local connection tests will be mostly useless in checking the actual network infrastructure.
Tests 3 and 4 should be showing the same connection times as the same physical network infrastructure is used - only the direction is reversed in the tests.
I would assume that port settings on the switches and interface settings on the routers treat packets equally in both directions between 2 servers. But this could in part explain the problem if this is not the case. In a case of a router for example, the 1st test's ingress interface is the egress interface of the 2nd test (and vice versa). Configurations can differ substantially between interfaces on the same router. Likewise if there is a firewall - as different rule sets are applied in each test and these rule sets could differ.
So I would not be too quick to state that this is definitely not a network problem. But I agree that based on the small percentage difference (assuming comparable tests), it does not look like a network issue.
The next step is to determine what the delay is between the listener accepting the client connection, and the connection being serviced by a dedicated server process.
This will require listener tracing - tracing the time from when the listener accepted the connection (and parsed the TNS connection string), to handing off the connection to the dedicated server process.
As a comparison test, you can also test shared server connections. Dispatcher processes (of the db instance) register themselves with the listener. The shared server client hand off is thus done to an existing server process - no need for the Listener to make a kernel call to load and initialise an executable image.
Shared connections are typically faster than dedicated connections in this respect.
If there is a major time difference, then it means some kind of issue with the listener dealing with dedicated servers as oppose to dispatcher hand off's. As both connections would have had very similar network transit time - which means the connection time difference is related directly to dealing with a dedicated server connection request and hand off.
You can also substitute the oracle executable with a wrapper - and troubleshoot the actual dedicated server startup. I've only done this with Oracle XE 10.2 though and with local IPC connections. Unsure how robust this will be for testing purposes via TCP using 11g.

GREATER THAN symbol appearing as &gt ; in SQL*Plus

Version:11.2.0.3
OS : RHEL 5.4
We are a Software vedor firm.We have sent our SQL files to our client to execute. But the codes for various procedures and functions were failing
because, in their SQL*Plus session (in Putty) the LESS THAN character < was appearing as &lt ; and GREATER THAN character > was appearing as &gt ;
In the original code which we had sent to them has no problems with > or < characters.
Original code
Cursor feb_cur IS
SELECT user_pwid
    FROM carton_hdr_dtl
   WHERE MODIFIED_DATE >= D_Last_Run_Date
   UNION
SELECT user_pwid
    FROM carton_hdr_dtl_bkp
   WHERE (modified_date >= D_Last_Run_Date OR
          deleted_date >= D_Last_Run_Date); But in the execution log file sent by our client, I can see &gt ; instead of > character.

Thank you Blushadow, Nicosa for providing this clue.
I checked with my client. They have put our scripts in Collabnet SVN version control and the implementor DBA will be provided the http URL .
Apparently SVN is accessed using http protocol and yes you are right it is opened through a browser by typing an URL like below
http://10.80.16.214:79839/svn/brcf/DBfiles/2012/WMHReleasel8/hrtb_pkt_wave.sqlFor most of the end users , the GREATER THAN character appears as > without any issues . For some users it appears as &gt ; . One potential cause is the difference in Internet Explorer version. They are currently looking into this.
THANK YOU BLUSHADOW and NICOSA for shedding light on this.
Hi Nicosa,
A forum formatting question:
How did you manage to get &gt_; (without the underscore) printed ? When I tried it the forums editor was converting it to > . This is why I placed a space/underscore between t and semi colon. Is there some escape character ?

Higher security if client is installed without SQL*PLUS?

Hello,
at work there are two installations for the Oracle client, one with and one without SQL*PLUS. Only DBAs and developers get the full installation. I can't see the additional security beside that a user cannot directly use SQL*PLUS to read data. Every user can run SQL Developer on his system so they can access the data anyway.
Regards
Marcus

I can't see the additional security ..I agree. Too many people think blocking client tools means higher security. Security has to be done in the database server,not in the client tools.

SQL Plus in Oracle 10g XE -

How can i works in oracle 10g XE using the SQL Plus.
When I try to connect, show-me and error.

After installing XE poke a little in the file system directory where you installed.
In the bin directory youll find the sqlplus executable. In the network/admin directory youll find the tnsnames file with a service name by the name of XE configured.
So, as long as you hit that tnsnames file and connect with an unlocked user you should be OK.
sqlplus user/pass@XE
Potential problem you have some previous Oracle Client installation and you hit the tnsnames file from there you could add the XE configuration there too. Or use environment variables to switch over to the XE installation.
Try a tnsping XE and see what is says.

SQL Plus vs OCI

Hi All
Client Server
Debian Lenny
Instant client 10.2
SQL Plus 10.2
Latest Apache/PHP and OCI
ORACLE Server
Win 2003 + Oracle 8.x
On the client server I can connect to the Oracle server through php and execute all kinds of queries that do not fetch a lot of data. But once the data being fetched is more than roughly 100kbyte nothing seems to happen anymore, a tcpdump only shows acks being sent from the client to the server.
Example:
select * from table where rownumber < x "x is 1 to 45" <-- This returns the result correctly in a second
select * from table where rownumber < y "y is 46 and up" <-- This query simply keeps hanging, no time out nothing, if executed from command line it hands if executed in the browser it just keeps loading. If tcpdump is launched to monitor it, after the first two seconds all that happens is that the client sends acks to the server.
However, if I use sqlplus 10.2 on the same Debian server, I can execute
select * from table, and all 16000 rows are fetched and displayed in the sqlplus console.
I really dont know what the problem is and what to look for here. Is the data being returned back to the client in SQL Plus in a differnet fashion than in OCI ? What could be the problem ? Can I use SQL plus through PHP ? I.e. in a similar fashion, like get rows as results and not some piped data ?
Any hints are appreciated.
Regards

I did try out AdoDB instead of OCI, it works flawlessly so far. However, do you have any info on performance comparison between the two. And can I also use Oracle stored procedures in AdoDB ?Wrong questions.
OCI stands for Oracle Call Interface - this is the interface that is used to interact with Oracle. Send SQLs. Executed stored procedures. Etc.
Databases each have their own. SQL-Server and Sybase for example have an interface called dbLib.
Using the database interface directly from a programming language is not easy as the interface is complex. So complex for example, that most C application development for Oracle will not use the OCI directly. Instead the Pro*C precompiler is used to change pseudo C/SQL code into C/OCI calls, before compiling the source with the C compiler.
AdoDB is an interface that runs on top of OCI (or dbLib if you're using SQL-Server). So too is ODBC. Or BDE. Or OLEdb and so on.
These are all higher level interfaces - making it easy for the programmer to use the underlying (complex) database interface like OCI (or dbLib).
This high level interface cannot communicate directly with the database. It needs the underlying database call interface driver. In the case of AdoDB in PHP using Oracle - that still needs an Oracle client driver and that still uses the Oracle Call Interface/OCI.
Using AdoDB does not mean that there is no longer an OCI. There is. Simply that now instead of you dealing with the complexities of OCI, AdoDB is doing that for you.

SQL Developer Script Output too limited for student - how to increase?

I'm just a student trying to migrate from notepad and SQL Plus to using the SQL Developer for the comprehensive course project. Unfortunately, the script output is way too limited... it only reports a fourth of my last assignment's results - not enough to use in the project. How specifically can this be increased. I have version 1.1.0.21 running on Windows XP on a laptop with 512k memory.
Thanks much for any/all assist. I don't want to go back to notepad!!

Thank you for the advice, but I had tried that. My script is 305 lines counting blank lines and the SQL developer displays only about 35 lines of results corresponding to 58 lines of input. When I run the same script in SQL Plus in a console window using the @filename command, I get the entire output.
My input and output follow:

Error with Sql*Plus and Spatial

When i create a new table with a column SDO_GEOMETRY (spatial), i insert a new field.
When i do a simple select * from this table, i receive this error :
SP2-0591: Unable to allocate dynamic space needed (37748736 bytes)
I can't find any information about this error. I thougth it was an error of the configuration on the server, but i've found that SQL*PLUS use lot of virtual space on my PC when i query on 'Spatial table' and don't free this space. After three execution of my query, I receive an error NT 'Not enough virtual space'!
What do i have to do ?
Thanks

Yeah, I am also encountering this problem too! Can anyone help?

Segmentation fault in SQL*Plus

Late yesterday afternoon, I tried to query a table in my
database and received a segmentation fault(core dumped). I
receive the segmentation fault only when trying to query 4
tables (out of a total of about 20) and only in SQL*Plus. If I
query from svrmgrl or through an ODBC connection, I have no
problems. I tried reinstallng SQL*Plus, but that did not help.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Try:
SQL>Set arraysize 1.
You may have longs or too much data for an array fetch > 1

ORA-01401 on execution SQL*Plus Copy command

I looking solution for strange problem :
I having two database created with AL32UTF8 character-set ; current application design are that we loading data throw SQL Loader and than transferring loaded data from one database to another using SQL*Plus copy command.
Now , we having two tables , declared 100% identically , with respect to NLS and CHAR semantics (all varchar fields having CHAR inside length).
At attempt to transfer data , with SQL*Plus Copy command I'm receiving next output :
ERROR:
ORA-01401: inserted value too large for column
If I'm trying to transfer data via DB link , and this succeeds , or throw exp/imp utilities it also works .
Database servers are 9.2 (i tryied with 9.2.0.6 or 9.2.0.8) ; client side were 9.2.0.8 , 10.1.0.5 ...
On client side NLS_LANG variable are set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256 (we working on project who needs to support arabic language)
Did anyone encountered same problem ? Any One ?

it could be that the column of the table that you are trying to insert the data has a small length.

Connecting to SQL*PLUS

Good afternoon. I have a strange issue when I try to connect to SQL*PLUS, Designer and Discoverer too, with an id other than SYSTEM or SYS. I have 10G database installed on my local PC, with the 10G client, Developer Suite with Discoverer and Designer. I connected in the command window with SYS to create the Designer repository and everything worked fine. I can CONNECT to SQL*PLUS to my local db with the SYSTEM id, but not with my own id. I can't connect to Designer repository with the REPOS_MANAGER id either. It looks as if it is trying to connect, but I get an hour glass and a NOT RESPONDING in the Windows task list. I have checked the id's by logging on to SQL*PLUS with SYSTEM id, and they are set up correctly. Any thoughts or suggestions? I can connect to my local database through GUI tools like TOAD or SQL*Tools using my own id. I would greatly appreciate any ideas you might have. Thanks. DLD

Hi D Moran,
You don't mention the platform and/or Oracle versions you work with, but generally speaking, did you check:
- the tns service (windows) is started?
- did you wait for a moment after the database service started, so that it had the time to "announce itself" to the tns service?
- do you have only one tnsnames.ora file? if more then one: did you select the corresponding oracle home?
etc...
Maybe some of these checks help!
Regards,
Sabine
