ISQL*Plus and customizations

<soapbox>
Yes this is an actual iSQL*PLUS question
</soapbox>
I've noticed that the interface uses CSS and that some customizations can be done through that .css file. Are there any plans for any other user end customizations to the i*plus enviroment?
Charles

Charles,
Thanks so much for your ideas! I'll log enhancement requests for them, and we can prioritise them along with the other requests.
What sort of customisations would you like to have?
As for release dates, there will be a 9.0.0 beta release available in Oracle9i beta, and a the production release will be available in Oracle9i release 9.0.1 (production). Unfortunately, we're still only releasing iSQL*Plus on NT, but we are working hard to port to other platforms. No news on availability yet though.
This is a public forum, and we don't want to stop people posting general questions, although the iSQL*Plus team won't generally answer those questions. We keep our eyes peeled for iSQL*Plus questions and will answer them as quickly as we can.

Help to start iSQL*PLUS and OEM services

Here is what I did in trying upgrade 10.1 to 10.2 on Windows:
1. use Oracle Universal Installer installed 10.2 in a separated ORACLE_HOME;
2. run pre-upgrade assistant (utlu102i.sql)
3. run Net Configuration Assistant to congired listner
4. run DBUA ( however message shows that database already upgraded)
At this point, new instance is up. new listner is working, but iSQL*PLUS and oem services didn't even be recognized by OS.
From Universal Installer, I saw iSQL*PLUS and OEM were installed. What I am missing here in order to start services of iSQL*PLUS and OEM?

Well, the instance is running properly. sqlplus also works fine. Because there is no new OEM service available if you look at Services list, how it could be meaningful to connect to OEM through a browser? As fact, browser can not connect to OEM.
Do I need to reinstall 10.2?

Executing a procedure - Works on Isql Plus but not SQL Developer??

Hi folks.
I am playing around with some design and structure stuff, mostly just passing values around procedures. I have one procedure (procedure1) which takes a sysdate and then passes it to another procedure (procedure2) which takes the parameter and does a dbms_output.put_line.
Both objects are valid, and compile correctly. I use
exec procedure1;
in iSql Plus and it works perfectly. It prints the dates out and all.
However if I use the exact same command in SQL Developer it gives me error "ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement"
I don't understand why this happens?? The code executes perfectly in one but not the other...

Remember that SQL*Plus commands don't work in the worksheet. So, this would fail
exec my_procIn the worksheet you have to declare an anonymous block....
begin
my_proc;
end;
/If you right-click on the procedure in the Navigator and select Run then SQL*Dev will throw up a harness for you. Very handy if you want to get DBMS_OUTPUT, set variables, etc.
Cheers, APC

How to start iSQL*Plus configuration Assistant on Command Line?

I have almost successfully installed oralce 10gR2 in opensolaris 5.11, In the final stage, Among the three Configuration Assistants:
the Net Configuration Assistant and Database Configuration Assistant have completed successfully, but OUI hang in the iSQL*Plus Configuration Assistant.
No response after a very long time.
Could anybody tell me how to manually start iSQL*Plus configuration Assistant on Command Line?
Thanks a lot !
Edited by: user11970554 on 2009-10-5 上午9:21

Thanks.
Anyhow, I found an easier way to do this:
1)Just run installer again to start the OUI:
#./runInstaller
2)Choose "Custom" installation option
3)check the box at "iSQL*Plus" for reinstall
4)The OUI will first deinstall iSQL*Plus, and then reinstall it, and will automatically start "iSQL*Plus configuration Assistant".
This procedure applies to any component of oracle which failed at first time installation.

hi alison,
I have installed iSQL*Plus and it works fine with normal queries.
I have tried it with different versions of oracle
7.1.6.2.0
8.0.4.0.0
8.1.5.0.0
8.1.6.0.0
8.1.7.0.0
There are some problems also which i noticed when we were working with it.
It is unpredictable sometimes, i.e., the same query which works once may give problems some other times. restarting the browser solves the problems some times
But the major problem was that if the user closed the browser window without logging off the session will not end on the server and after such many improper shutdowns the number of sessions on the server piles up.
But if the user logs off properly then the session is closed.
It is a nice tool and may become a necessary tool in future.

ISQL*Plus :- SYSDBA requires WebDBA role and HTTP Authentication? How to?

Hi...
When i try to logon using to iSQL* Plus (Oracle 10g version) with SYSDBA privileges in browser it repeatedly asks for username and password?
What username and password should i give here? or is there any default username and password exists? or how could i create one?
Thanks ,
Avi

Read Frank's article http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/issue-archive/2012/12-jan/o12adf-1364748.html
Then you have to check if the user use use to login are defined in the stand alone server. If you server is running in production mode there is no automatic user or role migration. You have to to this by yourself.
Once you have check that the users are present, you have to check if the enterprise roles are mapped to the corresponding application roles.

Some Smaller Problems concerning HTTP-Server and iSQL*PLUS

Hi!
System: WIN2K, ORA 9.0.0.1
1. Problem: With HTTP-Server launched by ORACLE at System Start
can not connect to DB via iSQL*Plus, message: ORA-12638 (german
message:"Abruf des Berechtigungsnachweis misslungen") Credential
retrieval failed. Does no longer occur when shutting down
service and relaunching Apache manually. Why?
2. HTTP Server dies instantly when accidentially sending /*
somewhere in SQL-Statement or alone via iSQL*Plus (in SQL*Plus
Window /* starts DOC-Mode without chance to end DOC-mode with #)
Can anyone help? Thank you!
TIP: Manipulating Database via iSQL*Plus on a Eudora-Browser
with IR Cellular impresses every Boss! :-)

Hello CJ
1st of all: Thank you for your answer!
What privilege iSQL*Plus connection are you trying make?Tried as normal user and as sysdba. Both works well with Apache
in Console, both doesn4t work with Apache as a Service started
(even if there is a 2nd Apache started in Console window)
Can you connect as a normal user
if you specify a full DB connection string? By full connection
string I mean the "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS...)))"
etc. syntax commonly seen in tnsnames.ora. No! Error "SP2-0306 Invalid Option" occurs.
that the problem also occurs in the old GUI (non-web version)
version of SQL*Plus?Right! Typing DOC means entering (now unsupported) DOC Mode
(DOC> Prompt) return to SQL> with #. Typing /* gets you into DOC-
Mode but you can4t leave with #. (SQL*Plus userguide and
reference Part F Obsolete Commands)
In iSQL*Plus (web based version) typing /* caused apache to die
(on console!! as service as I mentioned: no connection ).
Somehow problem no longer occurs. (Miracle?)
3. Your Palm efforts sound neat! Can you share with the forum
how usable it is? Are there any configuration tricks
you found?No tricks needed, I just started a connection to a local
Provider via IR and Nokia Cellular. Connected to DB via
iSQL*Plus using Eudora-Browser, logged in as sysdba and shutdown
DB and started it again. Looked at some v$-views, killed a
session or two had a good time and impressed everyone. Decide
for yourself if this could be useful. Might be helpful for
remote troubleshooting during holidays so don4t tell your boss
about it.
(Did anyone try this on Windows CE? Like to know!)

IIS and iSQL*Plus

Is iSQL*Plus only usable under the Apache server and not with IIS? I saw an topic from 2 years ago that answered 'Yes'. Also, my lack of finding support material leads me to believe it is still true. If this is the case are there any future plans for it to run under IIS?
Thanks for any insites.
Chris

iSQL*Plus only works with the web server delivered with the database release. In the case of Oracle9i it was Oracle HTTP Server, based on Apache.
There are no plans to have iSQL*Plus work with other web servers.
If you have a requirement that iSQL*Plus should work with other web servers, you should log an enhancement request with Oracle.

ISQL*Plus Customizations

I want to use this product for a central repository of scripts for our DBA team, but without the use of @, @@, and start commands it realy makes it hard. Will the final have this capability? If not, can the page be customized to browse/run scripts of the machine hosting the site?
I see huge potencial for this product, in fact we created something similar a couple of years ago, but it had more limitatiions.
Thanks in advance

The script upload feature will probably change for the next release of iSQL*Plus. We intend it to load the script from the file system to the input area, then the script will need to be run by clicking Execute.
There aren't any plans to allow iSQL*Plus access to the middle tier, only through the file system available to the client. You could always map (in the case of Windows) a drive to your client and access it that way.

Problems with report using isql*plus

Hi there,
As the title of this topic illustrates, i'm having trouble dumping relevant data from columns of different tables. Using isql*plus, I have three tables appropriatly related. A 'course' table, 'student' and 'next_of_kin' tables. I have many students enrolled on various courses but only a hanfull of courses offer the module option 'Database Systems'. I have no 'module' table but i know the three course names which provide the module option. I intend on producing a report hich lists all students enrolled on the courses which provid the module option 'Database Systems'. I have attempted the report but i keep getting a 'cartesian product' displaying all next_of_kin names instead of the appropriate. Also i am struggling to come up with the right WHERE statement to depict only the three courses which provide the module option 'Database Systems' as defined by 'courseNo' in both 'course' and 'student' tables.
Here is the most recent attempt:
--set echo off*
--set pagesize 24*
--set feedback off*
--set linesize 78*
col A format 99999999 heading 'Student No'
col B format A15 heading 'Student Name'
col C format A15 heading 'Course Name'
col D format 99999999 'Course No'
col E format A10 heading 'Next-of-Kin'
break on A skip 1 on B
TTitle 'Business Studies 1 Option BT300'
BTitle 'Prepared By : Richard Stroud / 20527796'
Select student.StudentNo "Student No",
student.fName || ' ' || student.lName "Student Name",
course.title "Course Name",
course.courseNo "Course No",
next_of_kin.fName || ' ' || next_of_kin.lName "Next-of-Kin"
From student, course, next_of_kin
where course.courseNo = '12885545'
order by studentNo
--clear columns*
--TTitle off*
--BTitle off*
--set feedback on*
--set pagesize 24*
--clear breaks*
Any help towards this toipic will be GREATLY appreciated

According to my little knowledge - i don't think Oracle is an AIDB. It is only RDBMS or rather you can call it Advanced RDBMS.
Now, you are thinking that since you have provided the relavant table here - so Oracle should automatically pic the single records. Since you have define every logic including the concept of primary key, foreign key in your table.
But, question is - did you apply the relationship in your join between the tables.
What does a primary key, foreign key do inside a table? Is it automatically select the unique rows from the join tables - when you didn't mention the join criterion.
If you think that - then you are wrong. My advice is - kindly go through the JOIN Concept.
Then start your coding. This is very dangerous way to start. Learn the basics at least.
So, what Senti suggested has a very much valid point.
Regards.

ISQL*Plus: Internal error (no valid library could be found)

I install iSQL*PLUS on middle tier (9i AS 1.0.2.1) according to documentation, when I trying to connect I am getting Internal error (no valid library could be found). The TNSNAMES.ORA file is correct.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

My first suggestion is to use the HTTP listener on the RDBMS bundle. This is what iSQL*Plus 8.1.7 Beta was built for.
The HTTP servers on the iAS and Database releases require mods to be compiled differently.

Where is iSQL*Plus distribution zip file for Oracle 8i (8.1.7)?

I am running Oracle 8i (8.1.7) under Windows 2000. The iSQL*Plus Installation and Users Guide Release 8.1.7 Beta for Windows says the iSQL*Plus distribution zip file can be downloaded from the Oracle TechNet site (http://otn.oracle.com). I went there but could only fine iSQL*Plus for Oracle 9i. I even clicked on a link for the 8.1.7 version but ended up on a page with the 9i version. Can the 8.1.7 version still be downloaded? If so, what http address will get me to it?
I want to run iSQL*Plus on my PC to see if I can access my oracle database from an iMAC (apple computer).
Thanks in advance for your help!

John,
iSQL*Plus 8.1.7 beta was available only for a short time. That version was in beta testing and not intended for long term use. iSQL*Plus 9.0.1 (with Oracle9i release 9.0.1 for Windows) is more stable, and has more features. iSQL*Plus 9.2.0.1 (just released with Oracle9i release 9.2.0.1 on most platforms!) is even better. You might want to install a version of Oracle9i and use the new, production releases of iSQL*Plus.
