Is there a web-only database development environment?

I have a database solution to create that only needs to be accessible via web browsers. I do not have an existing database, so it is not a matter of connecting an existing database to the web.
Is there a web-only database development environment that would allow me to create the entire database without some non-web database environment like Oracle, Access, 4D, FileMaker etc.
I guess what I want is a web-native database, I don't want to construct it in some environment that has to be "interpreted" in order for it to be presented to a web browser.

Databases are databases. I'm not aware of any products that are specialized for web-only access. And I can't see such a product succeeding, since the existing products are already accessible via web programming.
I don't know what the remarks about "interpreted" mean so I can't help you there.

Using OEPE as a database development environment

Howdy. I've installed OEPE (for Gallileo) and it seems to work pretty well for stuff like browsing my database object tree, viewing the contents of packages, etc. However, I'm a bit stymied when it comes to trying to actually use it to develop PL/SQL code, because it won't tell me when I've made an error. For example, I can create new sql file called CTestPackage_h.sql, and type into it a package header like so:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE cTestPackage AS
procedure test_me(
temp FOO NUMBER
END cTestPackage;
There's a syntax error there ("FOO" instead of "IN", "OUT", etc), but when I select and run it, my SQL Results tab says "Succeeded", along with the cryptic "Action Type" of "NLS missing message: OperationCommand_action_exeucte in: org.eclipse.datatools.sqltools.result.PluginResources". Likewise, the status tab says this, with no mention of any compiler errors:
(0 rows affected)
Elapsed Time: 0 hr, 0 min, 0 sec, 0 ms.
When I then refresh my package tree, CTESTPACKAGE appears, but there's nothing under it, and the context menu has a "Show Error" item that displays the real syntax error that occurred ("ERROR at line 4: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "NUMBER" when expecting one of the following: := . ) , @ % default character The symbol ":=" was substituted for "NUMBER" to continue. ").
When I right click the package node and choose "Open" it shows the text I entered, and shows "INVALID" on the status line of the details tab. When I right click and click "Compile", it says "Successfully compiled object "IVARLEY"."CTESTPACKAGE". But, it's still invalid, so that's not exactly true.
Is this the intended behavior? If so, I think it's pretty much unusable - every time I made a change to my PL/SQL package code and execute it, I have to refresh my tree, and then right click my package node to see if there were any errors? I'd much rather see my errors immediately. At the very least I'd like to see the "warning: procedure created with compilation errors" message, so that at least I'd know to go check for errors (though, ideally, seeing the actual errors immediately would be even better).
It gets even more confusing, though. When I right click the (invalid) CTESTPACKAGE node in my Data Source Explorer, and click "Edit", it opens it up in a new SQL window, which shows the text I'd entered (minus the trailing "/"). Running it from there does show a status of "Failed", but not because of the invalid syntax - the error message is "ORA_00900: invalid SQL statement", and persists even if I fix the syntax error (change "FOO" to "IN").
So, am I doing something wrong, or is this plugin not really intended for writing PL/SQL code?

I'm looking for the same thing. Thanks for the "show error" tip -- that gets me slightly closer to having a usable environment in Eclipse. I also use the jOra plugin for eclipse. That worked great in earlier version of eclipse, but is a little buggy in galileo.

When will Forte/UDS finally get a decent development environment ??

As a enterprise computing environment nothing beats UDS/Forte (not even J2EE).
however ...
In comparison to more 'modern' development environment(s), the Forte/UDS environment seems to be lacking a lot of features (like Code-Completion, Code-Highlighting, a decent class-explorer, Cross-references, etc).
Will there ever be a development environment that will support these features (like Forte 4 Java for instance) or will we be destined to puddle on with this 'stone age' environment forever ...
After all it is us developers that will have to make it all work ... a little support would be nice ...
Hansz

I dought there will ever be a development environment like UDS/Forte 4GL. The only one that came close was SynerJ but that now is our of the picture because Sun decided not to support it. Forte 4 Java is almost there but lacks a lot of feature like partiton workshop to make it a good tool to use.

Using Oracle Database Express Edition in development environment

Hi All,
I have doubt regarding the usage Oracle Database Express Edition in Development environment. I am not sure weather I can ask a non technical question here or not. Pleas forgive me if I have done any thing wrong.
I am working in an IT company where we take up projects outsourced by our clients. As part of our current project we are making some modification to a web application used by an institution. Our client is using Oracle Data Base standard edition. Due to budgetary constraints of our Company we can not set up a Oracle standard edition data base in our development environment.
So would it be illegal if we use Oracle Database Express Edition in our development environment? We can guarantee that only our internal development team which comprise a maximum of 10 people will have access to this development database and this development data base will never be opened to our Client for their business purpose(Who have their own Oracle standard edition in their environment). As part of the project we delver only table DDL script and stored procedure to our client and they put it in their environment.The sole purpose of a internal Express database will be development only.
Could some one please tell me if it would be violation of license agreement if we install Oracle Database Express Edition in our development environment.

Hi Paul,
Actually I have already gone through the Oracle Technology Network Developer License Terms for Oracle Database 11g Express Edition . But was not quiet clear about the content. It says in the license terms that "We grant you a nonexclusive, nontransferable limited license to use the programs for: (a) purposes of developing, prototyping and running your applications for your own internal data processing operations". Does the term "your application" includes an application we are developing for another company. Since the Express database is installed in the development environment only and is not opened to any one else not even for Our client it definitely falls under the term "internal data processing operations" right?

11g Reports Development Environment, Run Web Layout Error

Hi,
I'm using
Operation System: Windows 7 32 bit
Jdk: jdk1.7.0_07
Weblogic Server: 10.3.6
Forms and Reports: 11.1.2 Development Environment.
When I'm trying to run report in web layout, it gives error
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
Javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/TagLibraryInfo
Kindly help me to resolve this error
Thanks
Edited by: Sadiq Ali on Oct 3, 2012 11:08 PM

Hello,
First, JDK 1.7 is not certified with Forms 11gR2. Only JDK 1.6 familly is certified and supported.
It seems to be an environment/installation issue as this installation works fine.
- Are you installing as Admin user and running Builder as the with the same OS user?
- Let me know the WLS 10.3.6 complete zip file name you installed and the command you used to install it. Also the 11.1.2 file names for review
As a workaround:
You can open rwrun.jar in Jdeveloper and check the classpath in the manifest.
I remembered i had an issue on this(11.1.1.3 version) when rwrun.jar called a jar file javax.jsp_1.1.0.0_2-1.jar that did not exist in the installaton(There was a newer version like javax.jsp_1.2.0.0_2-1.jar in the installation).
Normally should not be happening in 11gR2, but give it a try.
Regards,
Alex

Hostnames with local web development environment

I'm running the latest version of OS X Server 2.0.23 on Mountain Lion 10.8.2, and am trying to get set up to use X Server as a local web development environment.
When I went through the steps of installing X Server, I used the hostname "jb.local". By enabling the websites feature, and pointing my browser to jb.local, I was able to see the default welcome page, and thought everything was going well. However, I can't figure out how to add additional hosts to this domain (i.e. drupal.local, or wordpress.local) without modifying my hosts file.
Do I now need to setup DNS in the server and set my Mountain Lion client to use it or something, or is there some better way that I'm missing?

When I was installing Server, it guessed the .local extension, (which we are using as the name of our local subnet) but not the whole hostname "jb.local". I added that myself. This machine is not registered as "jb.local" anywhere in our internal DNS.
This confuses me because pinging jb.local correctly resolves to the internal IP address of this machine on our network. So how is this resolving? There is no entry for this in my hosts file, and our internal DNS has no record of the hostname "jb.local".
This hostname was invented during the installation of the Server app, so there must be some communication between this machine, and the server app, that is resolving this hostname correctly, but I can't find anything on it.

... which is called as a "finally" at the end of my insert function. Should I just catch these and ignore them? Or is there something I should be doing to prevent these from occurring?

Hi Justin,
JE data is stored via Database objects. When you using the DPL, your EntityStore opens and closes the Databases for you. If you don't call EntityStore.close, it won't close the Databases and you'll get this "warning exception" when you close the Environment. Note that if you open/construct an EntityStore more than once, you'll have to close each instance.
If you only see this message occasionally, I suspect that you're getting an exception during your app processing, before you close your store. The exception causes you to skip your normal shutdown code, that closes the store, so the store is not closed. You're probably not catching this exception and logging it, and it is not thrown upward because of the exception thrown by Environment.close. To find out what's happening, you'll need to catch and log the exception.

Can you please suggest best configuration that needs to be done on development system, how many days work and etc. .
1. would freely downloaded oracle software able to accomodate this?
2. Is single instance db is enough to hold huge size db as there will be less number of user connections.

1. would freely downloaded oracle software able to accomodate this?The freely downloadable software is the same as the base level of the purchased software. But you need to be aware of license restrictions. Just because it is a "test" system doesn't mean you don't need a purchased license. And without a support contract, you do not get access to patches.
2. Is single instance db is enough to hold huge size db as there will be less number of user connections.Multiple instances (RAC) have nothing to do with the size of the db.
4. WHAT are all the configuration settings (disk space, ram size, etc) would you suggest to me to have on development environment.This is totally dependant on local factors. "Test", "development" or "production" have no bearing on any of these factors.

No link at all? How do you plan to get the dump files from the prod server to the dev server?

Any help in correcting this matter would be greatly
appreciated

First off, Dreamweaver even CS3, sucks at ASPNET, which is
the technology this is using.
I think Visual Studio 2003 is using ASPNET 1.1, The current
version of this technology is ASPNET 2.0, which is easier to use
What you can do is download free of charge Microsoft Visual
Web Developer from Microsoft, you'll need a few things - .NET
framework 2.0 and MS SQL Server 2005 Express to make everything
work better.
I think you'll see this as a better alerternative to
Dreamweaver and all of this is free from Microsoft.
If this were anyother technology, even traditional ASP, I
would say stick with Dreamweaver, but not with ASPNET
MS have also released something called Expression Web which
is great at ASPNET for putting front-ends on apps developed using
ASPNET

Firefox 3.03 - why such an old version? 3.6.12 is the most recent release.
It is up to Microsoft to fix Outlook Web Access to work with Firefox or to come up with a plugin for Firefox. If Mozilla was to start fixing or write plugins for all the software out there that is made to work with Internet Explorer and not any other browser, they wouldn't have time to work on Firefox.
There are two Firefox extensions that will open IE in a Firefox tab. Many users install one of these addons to get around problems like you are having with Outlook Web Access.

ECC 6.0 Webdynpro for ABAP development environment

Hello,
We are currently running ECC 5.0 and ABAP stack is only available as of ECC 6.0. Is is possible to download and install just ECC 6.0 development environment?
Thanks,
Alex

The ABAP development environement and runtime are integrated into the Business Suite release. Therefore ECC 5.0 runs on top of NetWeaver 2004 (6.40) and ECC 6.0 runs on top of NetWeaver 7.0. There is no way to directly mix ECC/NetWeaver releases nor can you directly transport NetWeaver 7.0 objects (like Web Dynpro ABAP) to a 6.40 based system since the runtime wouldn't be present.
You can however install a standalone NetWeaver Systems. Then you would have a separate instance with the ABAP 7.0 developement and runtime environement. You can use RFCs and Web Service Calls from this standalone system to read and write data to/from your ECC 5.0 system. You give up some of the benefits (like the integrated DDic value-help).

Setting Up Shared Development Environment

Is there any diagrams, white papers, guides or best practices on setting up the J-Developer and connecting to shared Services and database? The Developer guide (E10148.pdf) does not really cover what the standards is or the overall infrastructure of the JDeveloper and setting up a Shared Developer enviroment.
I looking for something like http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25178_01/fusionapps.1111/e15524/gs_install_e.htm but for (11.1.1.6.0) version webcenter.
I basically looking for something to help me get our Shared Development Environment setup with Jdeveloper.

The issue is connecting the Jdeveloper to the WebCenter DS and Activity DS schemas. In the Development guide it says I need to connect to these schemas to be able to utilize several of the WebCenter Services, ( http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_svc_intro.htm#BHCDJHAI - 7.2.2 Setting Up a Database Connection
We are trying to set up the connection to our shared development environment database. Our database group is concerned with giving developers access to these schemas. They are concerned that JDeveloper will changes or modify the schema and cause the database to fail. They created a account with read only access but we are not sure it this will work.
I been trying to find anything in the documentation to find what access JDeveloper needs to the WebCenter DS and Activity DS schemas and if JDeveloper can modify these schema in any way.
Additionally try to find anything on the best practices on connecting to a shared database and setting up a Development environment and its connection to Jdeveloper .

Has anyone seen this error before?

Thank you for posting this response. This hit me last year and I could not for the life of me remember what we did to address this. Your note saved me gobs of time :)
In that spirit... I'm including some notes we made on seeing this sort of error on the remote tier when using the native API (installing the automation server on the remote tier so the API is accessible to our native portlets). Ideally someone else finds value in this.
P.S. - ignore the preachy/information tone on bits of this. It's written for our internal documentation, so I had to do it up all classy-like :P
Error: "Datadirect license file not found at configured location: [license file directory goes here]\DDplm.lic"
This error will occur if you use certain portions of the native API on the remote tier. When you use the native API you typically install the "automation server" (job processing server) - this is more appropriately thought of as a "light" portal install where the underlying portal logic / process libraries are installed and registered on the server, but the user interface portions are not available (EX: no web interface).
When you install the automation server and portal cross-platform database libraries are installed to abstract out behavior specific to MS SQL, Oracle, etc. The automation server installer does not, however, install 100% of the files used by the portal - specifically, the license file(s) required by this cross-platform database library.
To resolve this issue you must do two things.
=========================================================
1. Copy the license files from the portal to the automation server
=========================================================
* "Share" or terminal service over to a portal server. Navigate to the following (or close to it) directory path to find the license files generated by the portal installer.
\\MyPortalServer\d$\Program Files\plumtree\ptportal\6.0\bin\
* Find the folder "assemblies" and locate the file "DDplm.lic"
* Copy the "assemblies" folder to your automation server, matching the path/location
EX: \\MyAutomationServer\d$\Program Files\plumtree\ptportal\6.0\bin\
* You should now have the following folders/files installed on your automation server
\\MyAutomationServer\d$\Program Files\plumtree\ptportal\6.0\bin\assemblies\DDplm.lic
=========================================================
2. Update the automation server config file to point to the DDplm.lic file
=========================================================
Now that you have the appropriate license file copied to your automation server you must reference it within the core automation server config file. Recall that the automation server is really just a subset of the portal - the paths will then make more sense
* Navigate to your automation server's core configuration file
\\MyAutomationServer\d$\Program Files\Plumtree\settings\common\serverconfig.xml
* Open this file and find the entry for "database-connection:adonet-license-file-directory"
<setting name="database-connection:adonet-license-file-directory">
    <value xsi:type="xsd:string">[license file directory goes here]</value>
</setting>* Update the "serverconfig.xml" file to include the local absolute path to the folder that contains the license file ("DDplm.lic") you copied over in step (1). Your final entry should look similar to the following:
<setting name="database-connection:adonet-license-file-directory">
    <value xsi:type="xsd:string">D:\Program Files\plumtree\ptportal\6.0\bin\assemblies\</value>
</setting>
=========================================================
3. There is no step 3
=========================================================
That should be it.

Should I rebuild my read only database every time I launch my server?

I'm getting into web development, and I'm trying to get a grip on databases.
In an app I want to make, there is a read only database that will be filled up with a large amount of data, which will be the heart of the application, and also a lot of work to put in.
I'm uncomfortable with putting all this data into the database, as the database is "separate" from my web app code. I feel like I should rather write my data in code somewhere, and then have my application put the data into the database for me.
This way I would have my entire project written in code, and not an integral part of my software hidden away in the database, which is a bit complicated to work with, and seems difficult to move from computer to computer.
But is this a sensible way to do this, however? Should I write my data in code, and every time I launch the server, make the application drop all the tables and read them in from my code again?
Is this the wrong way to go about it? Would it cause considerable overhead? How do people do this?

Why are you uncomfortable in separating the data into a database? Don't you follow a modular approach when it comes to coding and separate the UI layer and the business layer? The data you are referring to, that many legacy applications will have at least
some of it embedded in the code in the form of constants, is an ideal lookup table data that should be stored in a database.
>>>"This way I would have my entire project written in code, and not an integral part of
my software hidden away in the database, which is a bit complicated to work with, and seems difficult to move from computer to computer."
You can locate your database centrally and connect to it from any computer. The maintenance of your read only data in your DB is much more easier than embedding it in
the code
>>>"Should
I write my data in code, and every time I launch the server, make the application drop all the tables and read them in from my code again?"
This is totally unnecessary. If you will be entering a lot of read only data into your DB, you can have
a small utility program that provides an interface to enter the data into a DB - if you are uncomfortable with using the SSMS UI or TSQL to enter the new data. Also, reloading the data every time will only make your application look very slow and unacceptable.
To summarize, store your data in a DB. Even it if is small application, you can start with SQL Express
edition to store the data as you will most likely need a proper DB in future if not now as your application functionality grows.

What is "XE development environment"

Much of the documentation refers to the "XE development environment" or the "application builder" without mentioning "HTMLDB". Are these terms all being used interchangeably for the same thing or are they different ? I am rather confused when following examples from the XE home page as to whether I am actually using HTMLDB or something else. Is it possible to clarify this please ?

Kevin,
a slightly modified version of HTML DB 2.0 is integrated into XE. This version is enhanced for the management of the XE Oracle database, but compatible with HTML DB 2.0, thus import / export between XE and HTML DB 2.0 should work.
If you refer to the application builder it is basically the same as in HTML DB 2.0.
There are some smaller differences like
- assigning only one oracle schema to a workspace (not multiple schemas)
- implicit creation of a workspace for an oracle user
- mod_plsql is not used through Apache but embedded in the database (dbms_epg)
but you can pretty much use the tips/tricks, troubleshooting, workarounds and sample applications / utilities you use for html db 2.0.
