Getting started with Oracle 11g express edition

I am currently in a college class doin SQL. I have downloaded oracle 11g express edition. I'm trying to get started and when I try to create a new connection it takes me to a screen where I have to sign in. When I use my oracle sign in and pass word it tells me it doesn't recognize it. No I know it works because I can sign in on the web site. But it won't connect me or allow me to make a new connection. I really don't understand what is going on. I can seriously use some help. Something that will take me step by step on what I need to do. I have to create a data base and I'm not sure how to do it.
Thank You
Carl Gavin

Hello Carl,
Something that will take me step by step on what I need to do.Sounds like what you are searching for is the [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/admin.112/e18585/toc.htm]Getting Started Guide.
If you need some advanced knowlege, there would be the "2 Day DBA Guide", which, among other topics, contains a section on [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/server.112/e18804/connecting.htm#CEGIFAHF]Connecting to the Database. I think you'll find all necessary information (background and step by step description) you need.

Getting started with oracle and jdbc

i have downloaded ojdbc14.zip from oracle.com
it's documentation only tells you about the api and the packages and nothing about how to configure it.
how do i get started? where do i unzip those files and what to do next?
please help

"The Old oracle.jdbc.driver Package Will Go Away Soon
If you still have existing applications that use the
old oracle.jdbc.driver
package, now is the time to convert your code."
And who is so foolish as to use concrete types
instead of java.sql and javax.sql interfaces or embed
driver class names in their code? Well, anybody who's more interested in optimal performance than being generic, and willing to put up with the headaches of that, such as providers of high-performance OR mapping tools or someone tuning a very heavily used bit. Or anybody working in a committed Oracle-only shop. It's not a one-size-fits-all world...
Again, Oracle is evolving the standard. No, the standard is Sun's java.sql interface.Yea, Sun evolved Java, and Oracle is recommending the use of Datasources to keep step with that evolution...
This still
works, but Oracle is shifting away from <sid> and
using <service name> instead. The alternate syntax
for the URL is:
String url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@<host>:<port>/<database>
This has been true for as long as Oracle has had a
thin, type IV JDBC driver. The URL syntax hasn't
changed.
Yes it has and Oracle says it has, here:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/java.101/b10979/urls.htm#BEIJFHHB
Wherein it is written, in Section 3.2.1 of the Oracle� Database JDBC Developer's Guide and Reference, the sesction on the several supported URL formats for Oracle 10.1
Notes:
* Oracle Service IDs are no longer supported at 10g Release 1 (10.1).
They go on to list three URL styles supported:
Oracle Net connection descriptor - like an entry in tnsnames.ora (ick!)
Thin-style service name - the most common, what was quoted above.
LDAP syntax - for having an LDAP service resolve the database for you
However, in the old 8.1.7 JDBC documentation, here:
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/A87860_01/doc/java.817/a83724/basic1.htm#1006213
Oracle lists support for:
Net8 connection descriptor - Net8 is the old name for Oracle Net
Thin-style sid name - what was quoted in the post to which I first responded.
Thin-style sid name syntax has a colon between the port and the sid; thin-style service name syntax has a forward slash between the port and the service name. SIDs and service names are not the same thing, although they serve the same purpose in a URL (connecting you to the right instance) and often have the same value. However, a SID for a database is set at DB creation time, is unique to the DB, and cannot be changed easily. Multiple service names can be configured for a database, and they can easily be changed (if you're the DBA). Oracle is providing an additional leval of abstraction by moving to service names, to support additional features and choices. While many installations don't need all that and have in essence ignored the distinction bewteen SID and service name, some multi-database projects can benefit from it.
>
StuDerby, I think you should look into this a bit
more. Your advice is far from optimal, IMO.
Yeah, I could've taken the time to write a more generic, newbie friendly repsonse; instead, I lifted directly from the Oracle documentation that was cited earlier since newbies seem to have an aversion to reading documentation.

General questions on how to get started with Oracle OEPE and databases

My company has a server in the cloud, written using Ruby on Rails. The server is designed to work with a browser, so it communicates via standard HTTP.
The server has an SQL database.
The server sends and receives HTTP requests from clients, which are then used to either update the database or retrieve information from the database.
The database can be edited from a separate admin dashboard.
I have recently rewritten our client software as a native android app. The new app makes calls to the server that look like browser calls. I have used Eclipse to develop the Android app.
Sounds pretty standard so far, right? :-)
I now want to replace the Ruby on Rails server with a new Java server that I will write. I want to use Eclipse to develop the new server. During development, I want to be able to have the new Android app communicate with the development server software that will reside on my desktop.
So I was thinking that Oracle's tools might be perfect for me, if only I knew which tools to use. There are lot to choose from. :-)
I believe that all I need is OEPE and a database. I would like to keep it pretty simple. I don't want to learn 20 new tools. It will be enough effort to become proficient in OEPE and a database.
I looked at "Oracle Database Tools >> Connecting to an Oracle database" in the help files for OEPE 12.1.1. I tried going through the help files for Database connections, but I got to a "New Connection Profile" form that asks me for a SID, a user name, a password, etc. I don't have any of those. I tried to enter some data in the forms and ping the database, but I could not get any results from the ping. So my first question is: Do I have to sign up for an Oracle database in the cloud or is there a database contained within the OEPE software that I just installed. I will have to do the former anyway when I eventually deploy my new server software, so maybe the right thing to do is sign up for the "database in the cloud" service now, and use it during development.
The other question I have is about getting a simple application client and server application sample. I found a "hello world" example at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13224_01/wlw/docs103/guide/webapplications/workshopJSP/tutorialJSP/TutorialJSPMakeJSP.html, but that is for WLS 10.3 and it doesn't seem to match the 12.1.1 software very well.
So does anybody know where I can find a simple client and server sample program for WLS 12.1.1?
If I can get these two questions answered, I can start making some progress.
Thanks in advance to anybody who can help me navigate this minefield.
Jim

I wanted to add some information to my previous posting.
1. The server I will develop will communicate ONLY with Android and iOS native apps, so the interface will not be HTML or XML. The information sent by the server to the client will be JSON. The information sent by the client to the server will be HTTP parameters, usually in the form of URL-encoded form data. This is not a browser-to-server server interface, so JSP is probably not appropriate for the server. The communication protocol will be HTTP.
2. I don't need anything fancy on the server side. The server will simply be a Java program that emits JSON responses to the client and receives URL-encoded form data from the client. The server program will also make database queries and update the database.
3. I don't understand how my native Android app will be able to communicate with my development server code running on my desktop. I want that communication to be over the internet, but my desktop does not have a static IP address, so I don't see how the app will be able to address the development server software on my desktop PC. I don't want to deploy the server software into the cloud every time I start a debug run, but I don't see any other way for my app to be able to address the server code over the Internet.
If anybody has any ideas, I would appreciate hearing them.

Getting Started with Oracle Spatial

I am not sure if this is the appropriate forum for this question but here goes:
I have just started using Spatial, and am
trying to setup a simple within-distance query, following closely the html documentation.
I create a parks table:
CREATE TABLE parks (GID VARCHAR2(32), shape MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY);
and then the geometry metadata table:
INSERT INTO sdo_geom_METADATA VALUES ('parks', 'shape', MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ARRAY(MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('X', 0, 100, 0.005), MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('Y', 0, 100, 0.005)));
I insert some entries into my PARKS table:
INSERT INTO parks VALUES ('park1', MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(1,NULL,MDSYS.SDO_POINT_TYPE(1,1,NULL),NULL, NULL));
INSERT INTO parks VALUES ('park2', MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(1,NULL,MDSYS.SDO_POINT_TYPE(1,3,NULL),NULL, NULL))
and create a spatial index:
create index parks_fixed on parks(shape) indextype is mdsys.spatial_index parameters('SDO_LEVEL=8');
Finally, I do my within-distance query:
select parks.GID from TARGET parks where mdsys.sdo_within_distance(parks.shape,
MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(1,NULL,MDSYS.SDO_POINT_TYPE(1,1,NULL),NULL, NULL),
'distance=2')='true';
to find points within 2 units of (1,1).
Unfortunately, I get the error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29902: error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine
ORA-13207: incorrect use of the [SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE] operator
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_INDEX_METHOD", line 73
ORA-06512: at line 1
So a few questions:
1: What am I doing wrong?
2: In 4.2.3 of the Oracle HTML documentation,
the example query has SELECT A.Feature_ID
FROM TARGET A . . . . . .
What is TARGET?
3: The documentation has many errors. Where can I find better documentation?
Any help on any of these matters would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely Yours,
Hirohisa

Getting started with oracle 10g

hi everyone,i m trying to store n retrieve images thru JDBC to Oracle interMedia[i i m new to this...can anyone help in this by guiding how to make connectivity n other stuffs required..

I've not used any of the InterMedia packages; I would guess that they're just more-or-less straight-forward stored procedure calls.
Oracle has lot of information on-line:
JDBC samples, many of which are complete working programs
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
JDBC Developers Guide and Reference
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/java.102/b14355/toc.htm
Some other JDBC links and the driver compatability chart...
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
Also, you can download the JavaDocs for Oracle's extenstions to JDBC from the same place the drivers are available:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
If you don't want/need to use Intermedia, the JDBC examples include storage and retriaval of an image as a BLOB, in the LOB example.

So Hard to get started

Hello all,
I want to state somethings that I have found so confusing in getting started with Oracle Business Intelligence.
Whenever someone attempts to get in the Oracle BI world, there seems to be a myriad of products, tools and suites that one may not really know where to start.
Up till now, I have not been able to pick or find a resource on what is which. Sorry to compare products, I have been taken a look at Microsoft Database and its associated BI solutions, and indeed it was relatively much easier to say this does this. But for as long as a I have been in Oracle Database usage and putting my hand on work using its tools, I find it hard differentiating
Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition from
Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition One and also from
Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Plus from
Oracle Essbase
or differentiating
Hyperion Enterprise from
Oracle BI Applications
and why I should not install tools like Oracle BI Publisher or Oracle Data Miner or Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB) when I have any of the above installed.
Thank God for Oracle 11g. The confusion is a lot reduced, because with 11g, almost everything seem to be in the right place.
So, my request is that someone should please show me a reference that tell what is different from what with respect to the above mentioned BI products.
Regards,
Michael

It's all on the Oracle web site, I think you need to do a bit of homework research before asking a question like this...
OBISE = Old Oracle Discoverer.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/standard-edition.html
OBISE One = Cut-down OBIEE version plus OWB.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/standard-edition-one.html
OBIEE = OBIEE+ plus Hyperion Essbase See:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/enterprise-edition.html
Oracle Essbase = Proper OLAP cubes
http://www.oracle.com/appserver/business-intelligence/essbase.html
Oracle BI Applications = It's a bit pre-packaged BI Application (based on OBIEE) that's used to do BI on Oracle Apps
http://www.oracle.com/appserver/business-intelligence/bi-applications.html
Oracle BI Publisher = Pixel Perfect reports
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/xml-publisher/index.html
Oracle Data Miner = Data mining, if you don't know what that is then you probably don't need it.
OWB = ETL
All in all I would say you are getting confused and you are mixing too many products in the same bag. Sure you could say it's "confusing" to have so many products. But if you were to go to the supermarket without knowing what to buy, wouldn't that be confusing as well? Rather than looking at "what's available" you should look at what sort of product you need and based on that search which products meet your needs. Or would you go to the supermarket and ask to see and understand what every product does before buying what you need?
