Installing Oracle 8i and Forms 6i Messes up SQL PLUS HELP PLEASE!!!

I have Win2K, originally I had Oracle 8i (home was "orant"), and I was able to connect to oracle through SQL PLUS. Then I installed the Forms 6i (downloaded version from OTN) on separate home , and I couldn't invoke forms, so I copied tnsnames.ora from 8i to forms' directory, and I lost connection with oracle sqlplus.
I then re-installed first forms on "orant" and then 8i on "ornat\ora8i" and I still cannot connect sqlplus. I have homeworks due, and cannot afford to go to lab late nights, so please help me!!!

hI,
I have the problem backward!
I created a profile then assigned it to the user, then I launched the apps thr the browser, it worked prompting the message "...password will expire in 3 days..."
Now I reassigned the Default profile back to the user which does not expire the password, launched the apps again it still prompted that password warning message! I even deleted the profile that was first created, still got the warning.
I tried to do it alter user in SqlPlus but not able to connect to database using the same System account as Sysdba (used to connect in Enterprise Console successfully), received error :Insufficient Privileges.
What is wrong ? Thanks.

  • I want to install Oracle 8i and forms 6i on xp

    I want to install Oracle 8i and forms 6i on xp. Kindly give me a complete step by step file, so that i can know before installation......
    Thanks

    Get into a time machine and go back about 20 years. ;-)
    You are asking about something hopefully no one has done for a decade ... installing desupported software on a desupported database on a desupported operating system on, perhaps, some antique server.
    Perhaps someone else kept their notes from back in the Jurassic period but mine were in a recycle bin many many years ago.
    If you really wish to do this I suspect you are going to be stuck doing it the way we did back then ... read the docs accompanying the installation files.

  • Performance of WEB enabling ( Converting to Oracle 8i and Forms 6i)

    We are working on a project to convert a forms 4.5 and Oracle 7.3.4 application to a web based app ( Oracle 8i and Forms 6i). I want to know if there will be a performance hit (improve or decrease) as a result of this.
    Please help

    Satish - concerned about your statement that you have not used in in production but you think its not the good. If you can quantify your statement I will address is.
    As for Bobs points - check out http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jsp?id=836060
    This probably addresses Bobs concerns.
    If you are concerned - take a look at the testimonials. Go to otn.oracle.com/products/forms and click on the Testimonials link.
    Believe it or not we actually have people who are running FASTER on the Web - How can that be!!! - well the reason is that the have uses on slow links - when running client server there database access is across these links and since they had database intensive application they found it could be slow. On the web the data trasfer between the app server and the database was on a fast link and the client (who are still on the slow link) are getting only screen draw information which is alot less than the database traffic.
    Hope this helps

  • Is there any difference in oracle database and forms database

    i want to know is there any difference in oracle database and forms 6i database
    ,if i import some file through oracle database then same data will exist in forms database or not
    thanks

    Oracle Forms is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool not a database. With Forms, you connect to an Oracle database to query and display data from the database as well as insert new or update existing data. Consequently, if exists in the database - you should be able to display it in a Form.

  • Installing oracle 10g and 11g client  on the same Linux RHEL 5.4 host

    Is it possible to install Oracle 10g and 11g client on the same Linux RHEL 5.4 host and have the application switch between 10g and 11g? and how would the 10g and 11g be installed?

    Thanks for your reply.
    Typeically if 10g is installed in /home/roacle/product/10.2.0, are you saying that for 11g, it would be /home/oracle/product/11.0.0 ?
    How about switching the application? Does changing the ORACLE_HOME and PATH environment variable setting enough ? Let's say from
    ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/product/10.2.0/client_1 to /home/oracle/product/11.0.0/client_1

  • Installing Oracle 10g and error with DISPLAY value

    Hello, I am instaling Oracle 10g and when I run:
    . /runInstaller
    this error apear:
    Can't connect to X11 window server using :0.0 as the value of DISPLAY variable.
    how must I set de DISPLAY variable if I have instaling in a local system?
    Thanks

    Can't connect to X11 window server using :0.0 as the value of DISPLAY variable.you apparently set the display correctly (:0:0) if you are installing locally.
    You could do a xhost + as user531326 if you did not start your X session as oracle

  • Installing Oracle Clusterware and TimesTen

    I am attempting to setup TimesTen with Oracle Clusterware and this website "Installing Oracle Clusterware and TimesTen" says that I should "Install Oracle Clusterware 11.2.0.2" however, when I go and look for I found this page:  "Oracle Grid Infrastructure Downloads" however as you can see from that page it does not have version 11.2.0.2. 
    Does anyone know where I can get Clusterware 11.2.0.2?
    Would version 12.1.0.1.0 work for me?
    Thanks,
    Victor

    Thanks for the info on 12.1.0.1.0 :-(
    If you look at eDelivery 11.2.0.2 is not available.  I guess I will have to go with setting TimesTen setup without the Grid Infrastructure (i.e. use these instructions instead - "Active Standby Pair with TimesTen In-Memory Database")

  • Installing Oracle Database and SQL Developer

    Hi, I was looking for some help/advice in regards to installing an Oracle Database and SQL Developer onto a Windows 7 32bit machine. I have been asked to create a database to store data that I create through reports in Excel so I am required to create a local database but not sure how to go about doing this. Also not sure if I install the Express Edition or Oracle Database 11g R2. If somebody could please advise on how I can get this started or even any links/tutorials that would guide me in how to get this installed with a localhost.
    Thanks in advanc.

    Thanks guys, I have managed to install Oracle 11gR2 and I have setup a database using the dbca tool and I can connect to my new database. One thing that I have noticed is that when i look into my tables in sql developer i see loads of different tables i.e. def$_, logmnr_, etc and I am not sure why this is as I expected an empty tablespace.
    Thanks btw for all your help.
    One of the key principles of relational databases is that they use their own facilities to manage themselves.  That means the database management system uses the database to manage data about the database using exactly the same facilities (tablespaces, tables, user accounts, procedures, etc) that an application uses to keep data for the application. See "data dictionary"   So there is no such thing as a completely empty database.
    As said by others, you do NOT want to be creating your own tables under oracle's schemas (users) or in oracle's own tablespaces (esp. SYSTEM and SYSAUX).  Create your own user account/schema.  Create your own tablespace. Make that tablespace the default for that user.

  • Oracle 10gR2 and Forms 6i Combination

    One of my company's division after suffering skill gap for many years decided finally to turn their system under my care. This means more work for me but it would be a welcome change since it will give back some exposure from my past life using SQLForms, CDE and Designer 2000 etc.
    As a prerequisite I got involved to provide technical direction to a project to "modernize" their system with the "almost" current version that is still supported or "almost" supported by Oracle.
    My question is this : ( In reference to Note 229929.1 Stating that Oracle 10GR2 and Form 6i combo is not supported as a combination ( because Form 6i is already desupported ) Is there anyone here have that combination running on production ?
    Was there any problem ?
    At the back of my mind I am very confident that I can make this combination work .
    It would be useful if someone can confirm this combo. (ie 10gR2 and Forms 6i).
    You may ask "Why not go with the latest ? ".This was for many reasons. I don't want to introduce shocking changes to the developers (they are already behind on technology and skillset), also Forms 6i is still Client-server which where they want to remain at the moment. The project was given a very short time to convert the system.
    Introducing a new architecture will definitely introduce more task than these guys can handle in such short period.
    Feedback for any real life experience on this combo is appreciated .
    Thanks in advance.
