Lite or Personal Oracle?

Dear all
Not (yet) familiar with Lite. I try to find out whether Lite supports a number of required features or whether PO has to be used. Reading Lite's datasheet, I found for instance that BLOBs are supported. But how about features like:
- SDO datatype (Locator)
- external procedures (extproc)?
- user defined objects?
Thanks for your feedback

It is probably not a very good idea to try downloading those huge files having a modem connection. I have downloaded myself via DSL connection and it took me hours. The first time I even got a timeout just minutes before the end. I would say that with your modem you might have a serious problems. Try a friend with fast internet and CD burner.

Irek.

Oracle Lite vs Personal Oracle

Hi
I use Oracle Server 8.1.7 at work and want to do some development work at home. Which version should I use on my Win 98 machine and what are the pros and cons of each?
Cheers
Phil

I would advise you to use Personal Oracle.
Personal Oracle has most of the features the Enterprise version of Oracle 8.1.7 has. Oracle Lite is a very light weight version of Oracle which doesn't really have anything to do with the normal versions.
Especially when you want to develop things at home and deploy them at work you need Personal Oracle

Lite vs Personal Oracle

I have a laptop running Windows ME. From what I have tried and what I have seen, Oracle does not have a database which will install on this.
So it appears I need to get a new operating system. Which is the best for personal use on my laptop and what are the main differences between Oracle Lite and Oracle Personal databases.

Personal Oracle and Oracle Lite ??

I'd like to know the difference between Personal Oracle (PO)
and Oracle Lite:
1. PO = multi user ? - Lite = single user ?
2. PO = stronger/bigger database - Lite = small database ?
2. PO = support PL/SQL ? - Lite = no PL/SQL ?
3. Replica:
Lite = Snapshotsite only;
Support basic and advanced replica with
Enterprise Edition (or Oracle 8i server ?)
as Mastersite
PO = Snapshotsite only ?
Basic (read only) replication only ?
Please help !

Hi,
Hereby are some answers:
1 : PO is personal version of Oracle RDBMS, and available under
Win95/98/NT. It is the same kernel than a normal Oracle RDBMS
without some advanced feature (object, etc). Lite is another
kernel and originally is a ODBMS (object DBMS). Lite is available
under Win95/98/NT/CE, Epoc32 (coming) and Palm OS (coming). Both
products are actually single user products. There will be a lite
mini-server which will support mutli-user access.
2 - Yes, PO is a full Oracle RDBMS and Lite is a foot-print
database. But both database are mutil-sessions, row-level locking
etc.
3 - PO supports PL/SQL and Lite support Java Stored procedures.
Both have database triggers.
4 - For the replication feature, both PO and Lite fully support
basic and advanced replciation. That means: readonly snapshot and
updatable snapshots with subquery and subsettings. They can only
play as snapshot sites. The master site must be Oracle 8 or 8i.
Hope these can help,
Regards,

Installation Problem Personal Oracle 8.0.4 on Windows 2000

When trying to install Personal Oracle 8.0.4 on a Windows 2000 machine, i get an Error:
"Unable to delete the NT Service for the SQL *Net V2 Listener".
No previous installation of Personal Oracle is present on this machine as it's a newly installed OS.
Any Help would be appreciated

I tried installing Oracle 8i Personal Edition in Windows 2000. The installer loads and it start installing the files, except when it goes half way through the installation, it quits. I don't know if this is a bug in 8i Personal Edition or not. Because I am unable to install the software on my machine.

How to Download Personal Oracle

After trying several times to download Personal Oracle 9i, I perused this discussion group seeking a solution to a problem that I was having and finding that others were encountering the same problem.
Perhaps you have encounted a difficulty in unzipping the Personal Oracle downloads... I and others have reported the fact that there are mutltiple CRC errors in the downloaded file when you try to unzip it.
Well, after analysing the problem I have found a solution and surprise surprise it is marketedly similar to a problem I discovered with Oracle over 3 years ago... a problem which their tech support insisted had to do with the tuning of my companies server... well now I am not so sure that the problem is not inherant within Oracles handling of LOB's on the web. But instead of arguing an old point... let me detail for our users HOW TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL there ORacle products.
Step by step:
1. Download the product
2. Download a second copy of the product and save it with a slightly different name
3. Unzip both copies with Winzip 8 or better. You must unzip them into seperate directories. Save the unzip log which tells you which files contained CRC errors.
4. Examine both logs and choose the version that contained the fewest CRC errors.
HERE IS THE SECRET... as in the problem my old employer discovered years ago... the errors occur randomly in LOB downloads... therefore the chance of the same file being corrupt in both downloads is very low.
5. The log will tell you which directory is being extracted and which file was corrupt... search the log for the string CRC in Wordpad... then find the missing file in the alternate tree and copy it to the working copy.
6. Repeat for each corrupt file.
7. when completed you can install the product from your working directory.
Its not pretty... but it works.
After searching for work for the last two months I thought it would be a good idea to refresh my skills with the latest version of Oracle... thank you Oracle for forcing me to use my skills to analyse your problems and develop a wotkaround... I now appreciate Postgres even more... I just wish there were employers who recognised that open source software is better supported than commercial products.
Anyone have a job lead in Denver for a developer with 20 years experiance?

Hello...
Simply amazing what it takes to download the 9i.
In fact I am still trying out your tip, and have had to work on 3 different ZIP sets so far!!
Still have one or two files that refuse to download right! (Especially the big ones).
I hope I get closer and closer to the final good set of install files soon!
Anyway, from what you say, it sounds like Oracle employs certain airheads...

Report (release 6.0.8.15.0) failure on tcp/ip connection to personal oracle 8.1.5

hi,how can i resolve this problem?
i use personal oracle with a tcp/ip connection and if i run a
report(developed with report builder oracle) i receive a
compiler error .if i run this same form on the server,the form
has no problem.
the only different is a client's call with tns (the listner is
start up)
thank and sorry for my bad english

Hi, how are you?
I read your file. On my computer, I got the same problem. First I installed Personal Oracle 8.15 version under window 98. The oracle home is e:\orale\ora81. Then I installed Form 8i in the orale home e:\oracle\ora. After installation, there are two SQLPLUS. One is under ora81 and another is ora. The one which is in e:\oracle\ora81 is working and it can bring up the database. Another one and Forms don't work. They can not connect to the local database. It means my client which is under e:\oracle\ora can't connect to my server which is under e:\oracle\ora81. I think I shoud set up the connection in tnsnames.ora by using Net8 Easy Config. I did it. It failed. Can you help me?
Thanks.

No, you shouldn't have to to.
If you have Personal Oraacle 8 running properly on your PC, then you can just connect to the database from Developer V6 using your normal username/password. For example, if you log on to SQLPLUS as scott/tiger, then the same will work for your forms and reports. You don't even need to enter a connect string. I have it working OK on a Windows '98 PC, with Personal Oracle 8i, and Forms v6i.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Personal Oracle 8.1.6 on Win 98

I tried to install persaonal Oracle 8.1.6 on Win 98 and when I start the Oracle using svrmgrl I got the following error
Cannot open registry
software\oracle\homeo\SID_LIST
starting with default sid
Then it asks for password. I tried all passwords and finally got error
ORA-01031 - Cannot logon to Oracle 8i
I have used UNIX. What is the equivalent of ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME of UNIX in WIN 98. Where all sid's of all startup and shutdown databases are stored.
Any body knows.

There is NO need to have to installations of PO8 on single machine,you can create two or more instances of databases.

Personal Oracle 8.1.5, Installation Problem

I installed Personal Oracle (Windows NT)8.1.5 and
I installed Oracle Client 8.1.6
Personal Oracle (main database: ZEUS) works fine! only if I am at network.
As soon as I undock my laptop, personal Oracle does not allow me to get connection through sqlplus.
I checked listeners:
File:D:\Oracle\Ora81\NETWORK\ADMIN\listener.ora
ZEUS =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = sashb)(PORT = 1521))
(PROTOCOL_STACK =
(PRESENTATION = TTC)
(SESSION = NS)
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
(PROTOCOL_STACK =
(PRESENTATION = TTC)
(SESSION = NS)
seems they are fine. sql.ora - looks like fine as well!
File: D:\Oracle\Ora81\NETWORK\ADMIN\sqlnet.ora
SQLNET.CLIENT_REGISTRATION = sashb
NAMES.PREFERRED_SERVERS =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = sashb)(PORT = 1521))
configuration file ... find!
Configuration File:D:\Oracle\Ora81\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
ZEUS.LAN.MIL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = SASHB)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = ZEUS)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA.LAN.MIL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
The question is very simple, why the personal Oracle works inside network, and it does not work if I undock my system?
If I need to make any changes, what changes must be done?
It is window NT, Service pack 5.
Personal Oracle installed with default settings at D: drive, with default directory settings.
PS.
I tryed to shutdown database, listeners, and startup listeners, and after this database--did not help. I check registry... seems fine.
What is missed?
Thank you very much.
