Download of Oracle 8i Database Problem

Everytime I download the database from the developer area, it appears to go great.
However, neither Winzip or PKunzip can work the file. They always encounter errors that are not fixable. This happens 100% of the time.
It is frustrating considering the size of the file.
NT 4.0 system with plenty of hard drive.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lance

Did you ever solve this problem? I have downloaded 8.1.7 three times with the same results?

  • Download between Oracle 9i Database and Oracle 9i DS

    I have download the files for Windows 2000.
    Oracle 9i Database version 9.0.2.1
    Oracle 9i DS version 9.0.2
    Download Date: June 7, 2002
    These from what I can tell are the lates versions on the website. I installed the database and everything went in fine. I can work with the database and everything. When I use the Universal Installer for Oracle 9i DS, I get an error when it hits 31% that states that this version of DS will not work with a database that is of version 9.0.2.1 or greater.
    If anyone can help me it would be a great help,
    Greg

    Hi,
    Your question is the answer. Oracle9i Database manages all your eBusiness data and Oracle9iAS runs all your eBusiness
    applications. In a 3 tier architecture, Oracle9i Database fits in the Database tier where as Oracle9iAS fits in the middle
    tier. Oracle9iAS provides an infrastructure to run different types of applications(J2EE thru OC4J, Forms applns, Portal
    based applns, Wireless applns etc..)
    Cheers !
    -- Rajesh
    Can any one brief in detail the difference between Oracle 9i database and 9ias application server.

  • Installing Oracle 11g database problem (loopback adatper problem)

    Hi, I tried to install Oracle 11g and I got a warning mentioning that I need to install Loopback adapter first.
    I followed the Loopback adapter installation instruction from the oracle website, and in the last step I need to add a line to the hosts file. Which is where I got a problem...my laptop doesn't have a domain name, but it's a workgroup name instead.
    So can I put this:
    ip_address host_name
    instead of this:
    ip_address host_name.domain_name host_name
    And if we cannot do that, should I try this 2nd method below?:
    I also read one thread in the forum saying that we don't need to install Loopback adapter, but instead we have to edit the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora files and make the value for HOST 127.0.0.1.
    Message was edited by:
    user610037

    If I understand you correctly, I should add a line like this in the host file(a, b, c or d??):
    example: My computer host name is: "David"
    a) "10.10.10.10 David.testing.com"
    or
    b) "10.10.10.10 David.testing.com David"
    or
    c) "10.10.10.10 localhost.testing.com
    or
    d) "10.10.10.10 localhost.testing.com localhost"

  • Oracle 8i database data recover problem

    Hi hi,
    I've recently encountered a problem on how to restoring data from old oracle folders to a new oracle 8i database.
    Originally, my oracle 8i was installed in windows 2000 server on a harddisk (J:\oracle old) separated from that the OS (windows 2000 server) resided. Recently, the harddisk with the OS has been permanantly demaged and I've installed windows 2000 server on a new harddisk (C:\winnt), reinstalled the oracle database (J:\oracle).
    However, is there any way to recover the data from an instance of the original database to the newly created database.
    I will be grateful for any suggestion? Thanks a lot.

    CREATE CONTROLFILE
    Caution:
    Oracle recommends that you perform a full backup of all files in the database before using this statement. For more information, see Oracle9i User-Managed Backup and Recovery Guide.
    Purpose
    Use the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement to re-create a control file in one of the following cases:
    All copies of your existing control files have been lost through media failure.
    You want to change the name of the database.
    You want to change the maximum number of redo log file groups, redo log file members, archived redo log files, datafiles, or instances that can concurrently have the database mounted and open.
    Note:
    If it is necessary to use the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement, do not include in the DATAFILE clause any datafiles in temporary or read-only tablespaces. You can add these types of files to the database later.
    An alternative to the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement is ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE, which generates a SQL script in the trace file to re-create the controlfile. If your database contains any read-only or temporary tablespaces, that SQL script will also contain all the necessary SQL statements to add those files back into the database.

  • Oracle 8i Database Startup Problems

    May I ask some Oracle database problems ?
    1. After installing Oracle8i database on SUN Solaries,
    when I run CREATE DATABASE command in nomount mode, it
    said
    "ORA-03113:end-of-file on communication channel" but
    the database is created.
    Then I run "catalog.sql" and "catproc.sql"
    2. But when I "startup" the database, after the
    databse is mounted, it said "ORA-01403: no data
    found". I don't know whether the database is opened
    normally or not.
    3. When I login with account SYSTEM (sqlplus
    system/manager), it said "ORA-01034: ORACLE not
    available". It seems just OS Authentication works.
    Those oracle background processes
    (SMON,CKPT,LGWR,PMON,DBW0) already exist and redo log
    file online.
    Thanks a lot

    Really to create a database manually is not so easy and automatically task. If you want to create a database manually you have to do this:
    1.- Create initSID.ora file
    2.- Set enviroment variables
    3.- Create passwordfile
    4.- Startup in nomunt the instance
    5.- Create the database ( if this step fail , do not follow ahead )
    6.- To run catalog & catproc scripts
    7.- Create additional tablespaces
    8.- shutdown the database
    9.- Startup the database.
    for more details, Chapter 2:
    http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96521.pdf
    if you have Database Creation Assistance you can do it
    easier.

  • Problems using and configuring Oracle 10gR2 database full-text search

    I am having problems trying to set up full-text indexing and search with Universal Content Management (UCM). I followed the Oracle Content Server Installation Guide for windows at [http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10316_01/cs/cs_doc_10/documentation/integrator/install_cserver_win_10en.pdf].
    What I did was:
    1. Modify E:\oracle\ucm\server\config\config.cfg by adding SearchIndexerEngineName=DATABASE.FULLTEXT to the end of the file.
    2. Restart the content server.
    3. Rebuild the search indexing using Repository Manager.
    However, I keep seeing the following error when I query by entering words in the "Full-Text Search" box.
    Unable to retrieve search results. Unable to retrieve search results. Unable to create result set for query 'SELECT IdcColl1.dID, dDocName, dDocTitle, dDocType, dRevisionID, dSecurityGroup, dDocAuthor, dDocAccount, dRevLabel, dFormat, dOriginalName, dExtension, dWebExtension, dInDate, dOutDate, dCreateDate, dPublishType, dRendition1, dRendition2, VaultFileSize, WebFileSize, URL, dFullTextFormat, dFullTextCharset, DocMeta.*
    FROM IdcColl1, DocMeta
    WHERE IdcColl1.dID=DocMeta.dID AND (((CONTAINS(dDocFullText,'test') > 0 ))) ORDER BY dInDate Desc'. ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
    DRG-10599: column is not indexed
    Some web searches suggested the following (all of which I have tried but not resolved this problem).
    1. Publish the schema using Configuration Manager (applet) and then rebuild index
    2. Set the dDocFullText as a "zone field". This is not possible, because dDocFullText does not show up under the list of fields under "Database" or "DatabaseFullText" for the Search Engine drop down (when using Zone Fields Configuration).
    3. Reboot the server (did not work either).
    I logged onto the Oracle database and checked the IdcColl1 table. There is indeed, no index for the field, dDocFullText. There is only 1 index for the field, did. The field, dDocFullText, is a BLOB. The question is, if I am supposed to create an index manually for this field, how would I do it? A web search has not been fruitful in answering this question.
    Here are my server settings.
    For UCM:
    Operating System: Windows 2003 Enterprise
    UCM : 10gR3
    Memory: 1 GB
    Web Server: Apache 2.2.11
    For Oracle:
    Operating System: Windows 2003 Enterprise
    Oracle: 10gR2
    Memory: 1 GB
    Thanks.

    I found out what the problem was. The problem was that I had to create the role, stellent_role, as described in the installation manual. After I created this role and assigned the database user to this role, a restart of the Content Server services and collection rebuild of the index fixed the problem.
    However, I did notice one thing. I checked in 3 PDF files, and when I used Repository Manager to do a collection rebuild, I noticed that for Indexer Counters, the count for Full Text was 0 and the count for Meta Only was 3.
    Anyone have any ideas? Is there something else that I missed? From reading the installation manual, it was not clear how database full-text indexing/searching would handle PDF files.

  • Security problem in oracle 9i Database Configuration Assistant

    Inside the tool Oracle 9i Database Configuration Assistant there is an option by which you can make a "copy" of your Database. This "copy" is called a template and you don4t need any password or aunthentication to do it, you just need the tool to be installed in your server. Once you have a template, you can bring it anywhere and recreate the original database (including data). Again, you don't need any password or aunthentication to do it, further more, in the last step of this process you can change the password of any user (inluding SYS, SYSTEM or another DBA user). The thing about this is that anyone with access to the computer where the database is can make a template of it, take this template to another computer and recreate my database having FULL access to it (structure, data, code ...). And everything without needing any password!!!. I really thing that it is a big problem. Is there any way of preventing this operation?. How can I safely protect my database?. I thought about unistalling the product, but someone can re-install it and everything would be the same. Can someone give me an answer?
    Thanks for everything.
    Pablo Cuenca

    You must protect your database from casual browsing at the OS level. This is not a security hole, per se, since this is a known issue with any and all software. Database Configuration Assistant is not needed for this since one may copy the database without it.
