Host String entry

I loaded oracle 8i personal edition. I'm using the logon/pswd
SCOTT/TIGER. What would I enter into the HOST STRING:, I've tried v8i.

Jeff,
You may want to take a look at the following thread,Re: Triggers in Products->Database->General forum. I also recommend that you subscribe to Database General forum and other database related forums to get your questions answered. This forum is not monitored by Oracle product teams and so you will not get prompt responses to your technical questions. And this forum intended for members to suggest improvements and changes to OTN Developer Services.

"Host string" entry to connect through SQL*Plus is the SID entry from the tnsnames. Not the parameter host=...
This is the first parameter, something else like the following :
DEMO92 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =...The host which you said is the hostname which is the host of the database, not thedatabase itself.

- Server name
- Filename
- Date/Time
- Browser + Version
- O/S + Version
- Error Msg

SQL*Plus Issue:
Right-click on the SQL*Plus short-cut that give you TNS error and see which executable it points to. Most probably this is the one in you newly installed Dev Suite directory.
Next, Check the contents of TNSNAMES.ora file in the following directory:
C:\DevSuiteHome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN
(whichever drive/disk you installed Dev Suite in).
This file must contain TNS entry of the database you intend to connect to using Dev Suite applications (Forms, Reports, SQL*Plus, etc).

XCode: invalid host string: 'localhost'

Hey! I'm trying to compile some C++ code in XCode. I'm getting this error: invalid host string: 'localhost'
So I searched on the web. I found it was probably in error in hosts, so I checked it. But, my hosts was perfect! Nothing wrong with it! Here's my hosts file:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1       localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1             localhost
fe80::1%lo0     localhost
Yup.

I was running against the same problem on a run-time of xcode debug. Are you running gas mask? If so, I was simply under the remote file rather than the local in my settings.

Need host string for xp machine (oracle 10.1.1..2)

Hi: my email address is [email protected] need host string or how to get information for host string.
Thank You

Hi
You can find the connectString under
ORACLE_HOME\..\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora file.
You should be able to see an entry that will look like this
ABC =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = XXXX)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
Here ABC is your connectString hence to connect to the database you will issue
SYSTEM/MANAGER@ABC
where SYSTEM=>USERNAME
MANAGER=>PASSWORD
ABC=>ConnectString
Hope it helps.

Host String for SQLPlusw

What should be the host string for SQLPlusW login.
Oracle Server (HP Unix) and the SQLPlusw login (windows platform) are at different box.
Oracle 10g R2.
Thank you,
Smith

Update this entry for <SID NAME> & <host ip adress> first, and add it to the tnsnames.ora file at $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
my_db = (DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)
(HOST=<host ip adress>)(PORT=1521) )
(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME= <SID NAME> )))
and then check on shell prompt: $tnsping my_db
If it works then you can access your database using following command on shell prompt: $sqlplus username/pwd@my_db.
For easy connection identifier use:
$sqlplus username/password@<host ip adress>:<port nu. eg. 1521>/<SID NAME>

I think the problem with host string.
actually when we are trying to enter into the oracle sql,it asking the username,password and host string.I mentioned the username and password in variables tab.I don't know where I have to mention the host string name.
Please any one help on this.
Thank you,
D.Nagireddy.

I would say that, since the OP has so little info, there are no policies in use. It there were then this question would never be asked the way it is being asked.
I had a client call with a letter from their insurance company; an accountant with malpractice insurance. THey asked the same question inmuch the same way. "What computer can you users access?" The question should be more like
"Do you have a policy that restricts access to computers and do you audit for compliance?"
I have had other clients whose insurance asked the question in that way. It produces a better view of what should be happening and how to show compliance.
I recommend that companies being asked these questions by their legal departments or insurance companies should contract with a god computer security consultant to assist with answering these very tricky questions. Of course if it is just you boss's
curiosity then you may need to discuss his requirements with him in more depth.

Host String Problem

Hi everyone, i searched the forum and found same problem with me but i did not work for me. The problem is i cannot connect my sql plus. i enter my username and password then it asks me gor host string but when i type it and enter "ok" it says "TNS Listener does not currentl know of service requested in connect descriptor. i looked at my tnsnames.ora file and is exactly like this.
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
CSE348 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Canavar)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = cse348)
So what shoul i type to connect sql plus?

Given the tnsnames.ora content, the following needs to be entered for sqlplus in order to have it use that connection string in the file:
sqlplus scott/tiger@CSE348As you have not qualified the alias with a domain, it will default to "+.world+" as far as I recall. If the default domain in your local sqlnet.ora differs, than that default will be used to find alias CSE348 in the local tnanmes.ora file. So make sure that you do not mix default and explicit domain names. Rather specify a default domain in sqlnet.ora and use the same domain for defining full qualified domain name TNS aliases in tnsnames.ora.
As for the error - the Listener receives a connection request for a service called cse348 - and no such service has registered with it. You can check the known services of the listener using the "+lsnrctl services+" command on the server.
Often in this case, it is easier to request a specific database instance using its system identifier, or SID. In which case you can change your connection string for the alias to use a SID as follows:
CSE348 =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Canavar)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SID = cse348)
)This assumes that the SID is cse348. The default SID is for example orcl. SIDs like dev and prod are also often used.

Oracle 8i Lite: logging to sql plus - uid, password, host string - whats that

If i install "Oracle 8i Lite" (just locally, not networked). There are two important things : "Navigator", and "SQL Plus". If in navigator, I create a local database called "xxx" (tables under 'system' user). Then if i need to query - i go to SQL Plus. Fine, but how do we log in - what is the "host string" ?.
The login needs, Userid, Password, Host String. In some docs, it said the userid, password for 'system' account is 'system, manager' respectively. Anyways, now the host string , i had read the 'host string' will be like "@databasename", so I think for me, it will be "@xxx"
But the way, I'm understing, i cant log, and SQL Plus says something "TNS: could not resolve service name". Maybe i have to something with that tnsnames.ora file....?
Incase, you could give ANY information, kindly inform.
Thanks

Host string usually refers to the host string that is stored in your TNSNAMES.ORA file. You can open TNSNAMES.ORA with a text editor.
If you get "TNS: could not resolve service name", it's either you have not start the database or your configuration in TNSNAMES.ORA is wrong.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
hi,
iam getting the same error(the TNS thing)can you be a bit more explaining regarding how to solve the problem.

Changing the Host String in Oracle 10.2.0.4

Hi,
Can you please let me know how to change the Host String from ORCL to "production".
I login now using the details below,

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Maybe you should have provided a bit of detail to "doesn't seem to work".
I hope you didn't build a whole new house just because you couldn't get the key fit the front door . . .
Thanks for your response. Appreciate it.Edited by: EdStevens on Sep 27, 2010 3:43 PM

Password and host string

Hi,
Im trying to get the Oracle 8i for 2000 to run correctly. I did a download. Problem is getting pass the password screen. The host string is giving me trouble. What should go there? Any place where the password and host string info are stored for later retrieval?
thanks,
Cindy

If you installed the default database then you should type in system as the user and manager for the password and ORCL as the host string (these are the defaults).
The hoststring names (database aliases) would be in the tnsnames.ora file uder your Oracle_Home/network/admin directory
If you login as system or a user that has DBA privileges, you can change passwords as you see fit
syntax:
alter user identified by somepassword;

[b]Listener problem while configuring host string through NET config[/b]

Hi,
I am unable to create host string through Net config. While testing with userid/password, the test does not succeed.
The host string configured is known as PROCESS.
Net config error message while testing the connection is as follows:

Did you check that the DB is up ? If not, then check it and, eventually, start it up.
If yes, then open a DOS window, set your ORACLE_SID, connect to Sqlplus as sysdba and type :
SQL> show parameter service
what is the result ?

Database host string problem

When I connect with an oracle database using DriverManager.getConnection() I have to use the database name for example orcl. I'd like to use the host string, the same as in SQLPlus. How can I do it?
And what is the difference between thick driver and thin driver?
