ISQL*Plus - How to use it?

I don't have any kind of database installed in my PC nor do I intend to do so. I want to use SQLPlus on a remote database. People here mentioned I could do that with iSQLPlus.
I went to the following site http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe9ir2/obe-mng/isqlplus/isqlplus.htm.
It mentions that a database installation is needed to run iSQLPlus. Then one of the guys in this forum mentioned that a database installation is not needed.
If anyone has successfully used iSQLPlus please help me set it up.

Hi,
You can use this links:

Logging in as SYSDBA via isql*plus

Hi all
Just installed Oracle 10g on my computer and I am able to connect to enterprise manager, create an account and also log in via isql*plus with the new account.
I was wondering how do i connect to isql*plus web based using a sysdba account?
I would enter:
Username: SYS
PW: ????
Connect Identifier: [Blank]
Is that correct?
Usually when logging in to isql i would use the following command
conn sys/[password] as sysdba

If it was me, I'd follow the 'configure iSQLPlus to allow logon as SYSDBA' steps in Chapter 2 of the "SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference" manual found at http://tahiti.oracle.com

ISQL*PLUS dynamic reports - how to pass connect string in the URL

When we run dynamic reports thru ISQL*PLUS, does anyone know how
to pass the connect string info in the URL
The following is the code from ISQL*PLUS users guide but it
dosen't show how to pass the connect string
when I tried to pass hr/your_secret_password@dbserver for userid
I got an error msg
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>iSQL*Plus Dynamic Report</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>iSQL*Plus Report</H1>
<H2>Query by Employee ID</H2>

Thanks

The form you use should work when your change
"hr/your_secret_password" to a valid username, password
and connect identifier like "hr/hr@MYDB". Don't forget to
configure MYDB in your tnsnames.ora file on the machine that has
the iSQL*Plus server.
What was the error you got?
The full URL syntax did seem to go missing from the 9.0.1 doc.
See below for the full syntax. This should be appearing in a
forthcoming FAQ.

What syntax can I use to run an iSQL*Plus Dynamic Report?
You can run a dynamic report by entering the report URI in the
location field of your browser, or by making the report server a
link or the action for an HTML form. The iSQL*Plus 9i Release 1
documentation has examples of these.
The general syntax for running a dynamic report is:
{uri}?[userid=logon&]script=location[&param...]
where uri
Represents the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)
of the iSQL*Plus Server, for example:
http://host.domain/isqlplus
where logon
Represents the log in to the database to which you
want to connect:
{username[/password][@connect_identifier]}
where location
Represents the URI of the script you want to run.
The syntax is:
http://[host.domain/script_name]
The host serving the script does not have to be
the same as the machine running the iSQL*Plus server.
where param
Specifies the named parameters for the script you
want to run.
Named parameters consist of varname=value pairs.
iSQL*Plus will define the variable varname to equal value prior
to executing the script e.g.
...script=http://server/s1.sql&var1=hello&var2=world
This is equivalent to the SQL*Plus commands:
SQL> define var1=hello
SQL> define var2=world
SQL> @http://server/s1.sql
iSQL*Plus, SQL*Plus and SQL keywords are reserved
and must not be used as the variable names (varname). Note also,
that since variables are delimited by the ampersand character,
there is no requirement to enclose space delimited values with
quotes. However, to embed the ampersand character itself in the
value, it will be necessary to use quotes.
For compatibility with older scripts using the &1
variable syntax, varname may be replaced with the equivalent
variable position as in:
...script=http://server/s1.sql&1=hello&2=world
Note the & is the URL parameter separator and not
related to the script's substitution variable syntax.
Commands and script parameters may be given in any
order in the dynamic report URI. However, please note that if any
parameters begin with reserved keywords such as "script" or
"userid" then it may be interpreted as a command rather than a
literal parameter.

TNS error connecting to db using iSQL*Plus

I am trying to use iSQL to access our database (Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0) for the first time.
I have reviewed Note 185707.1.
I start the HTTP Server on my client PC.
I bring up my web browser (IE version 6).
I enter in the URL http://<<host>>:7778/isqlplus.
ISQL*Plus login page is displayed.
I enter a valid user, password and connection identifier and receive the ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name Error.
In the Note referenced above, there are instructions for configuring the iSQL*Plus Server, but I am not sure what that is (or where it is). It says to enter a new connection identifier in the tnsnames.ora file as follows:
connection identifier = (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=www.oracle.com) (PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=orashop)))
but I am confused as to how this would be different from my existing connection unless we are supposed to put this in literally then use connection string orashop (which seems unlikely).
Any help would be appreciated.
Tracy

You have a couple of options.
1. Leave the connection identifier empty to connect to the default database (just like in SQL*Plus command line).
2. Confirm you can log into SQL*Plus command line using the same connection identifier.
3. Confirm that your tnsnames.ora file contains the correct connection information for the database you are trying to connect to.
The 'orashop' example is only an example.

Cannot use iSQL*Plus to connect Oracle 9i for Intel Linux

When I try to use brower connecting to isql*plus , nothing appear.
By performing the following steps :
1. Change directory to the Oracle HTTP Server home bin directory by entering:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf
3. Parse the Oracle HTTP Server httpd.conf configuration file by entering:
apachectl configtest
Display: Sytax OK
4. Start the Oracle HTTP Server by entering
apachectl start
Display: Could not start
Then, I find that the oracle http server cannot be started and open the error_log file of Oracle HTTP server :
[Mon Nov 11 00:09:25 2002] [crit] (2)No such file or directory: Apache JServ encountered a fatal error; check your ApJServLogFile for details if none are present in this file. Exiting.
There are also many files like:
mm.1807.sem
mm.2012.mem
How can I fix this problem ?
Thanks.

Have you checked the ApJServLogFile? You might find some clues there.
I'm curious as to why you are getting 'display' errors. Is your display environment set up properly?

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.

Using iSQL*Plus outside the Interanet

Please help me,
I have a web server www.myweb.com on Windows 2000 and on separate computer of the above domain I have Oracle 9i database server. I can use the iSQL*Plus in local intranet like https://mydataserver:4443/isqlplus etc.
Now the question is that, how can I use the isqlplus outside of my local intranet through my web server. There is no fixed IP of database server and only web services of http are running.
Thanks.
Jamil

It is no different to accessing any other web server. You'll need to open up the port on your firewall to allow the HTTP(S) traffic through.

Using iSQL *PLUS

I would like to know how do I go about using the browser interface to SQL PLUS, called iSQL PLUS? I assume you invoke the http server first(in windows 2000, you can start the http server). Do I have to know the url of the http server and type it in the address bar? I appreciate your response. Thanks.

Do I have to know the url of the http server and type it in the address bar? Yes, that's all you need to do. To get to your HTTP server, enter
http://<machine_name>/
To get to iSQL*Plus, enter
http://<machine_name/isqlplus
The iSQL*Plus login screen is displayed and just log in with your Oracle username and password.
I suggest you then read the online help to give you more information on using iSQL*Plus, or post to the iSQL*Plus discussion forum.

The iSQL*Plus user interface can be displayed in a number of languages:
Brazilian Portuguese [ptb]
French / Canadian French [f / frc]
German [d]
Italian
Japanese [Ja]
Korean [ko]
Simplified Chinese [zhs]
Spanish/LA Spanish [e / esa]
Traditional Chinese [zht]
The iSQL*Plus user interface is automatically displayed in the language specified as your preferred language in your web browser.
To display the iSQL*Plus user interface in a language other than your existing web browser's preferred language, add the language to your web browser, then
select the language to use. For example, to display the iSQL*Plus user interface in Japanese in Internet Explorer 6.0:
1. Start Internet Explorer.
2. Select Tools > Internet Options > Languages... > Add.
3. Select Japanese [ja] and click OK.
4. Select Japanese [ja] and click Move Up until it is at the top of the list.
5. Click OK.
6. Click OK.
7. Enter the iSQL*Plus URL. The iSQL*Plus user interface is now displayed in
Japanese.
The language used for the output from iSQL*Plus queries is dependent on the language and territory values of the NLS_LANG environment variable in effect when the iSQL*Plus Application Server starts. The character set value is ignored. The language and territory values are used for all iSQL*Plus sessions run from that application server. However, you can use an ALTER SESSION command to change the language and territory used for the duration of the current session. For example, to use Chinese language and conventions in your current session, enter
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE='SIMPLIFIED CHINESE';
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_TERRITORY='CHINA';
The output from iSQL*Plus queries is now displayed with error messages and text fields in Chinese. Information is now displayed according to Chinese convention. To check what settings are currently in effect, enter:
SELECT * FROM NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS;
The NLS_TERRITORY and NLS_LANGUAGE values correspond to the language and territory components of the NLS_LANG variable.

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.

How to access isql*plus

I am new to oracle 9i. can someone tell me real quick how to get the Oracle isql*plus login prompt from my browser--
I am on
windows 2000
oracle 9i enterprise edition (9.2.0.1)
netscape browser
I have access to sqlplus but have no idea to log into isql*plus
Thanks

Thanks for the response, and yes you do have a valid point. Well...looks like I have a problem running the Oracle HTTP server. Here's what is happening --
I go to Start->Programs->Oracle-Ora9->Oracle HTTP Server->Start HTTP Server powered by Apache
I am trying to start the HTTP server this way, but I get a dos window opened saying
Syntax error on line 298 of c:/ora9/apache/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Port must be numeric
Note the errors or messages above, and press the <ESC> key to exit ....
I did go to the location above and opened the file to look : The related statements I found were -
Port 7777
Port null
Listen 7777
Listen null
Could there be anything wrong here ? Any idea as to how I get thru this problem and correct it so that I can start my HTTP server. Thanks

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.
