Opinion of ORACLE personal/ Lite for a Palm subsystem

I am trying to decouple an existing Palm subsystem from an application. This would involve no change to the software on the Palm but would mean having to keep a small database on a PC. Can somebody confirm for me that
(i) Lite is strictly a piece of software for mobile devices only and is not a good solution for storing local data on PCs
(ii) Is ORACLE Personal a useful database or would people out there recommend different for PCs ?

Are you getting the complete file when downloading? i.e. the filesize on your disk matches the size listed on OTN.

Oracle 8i Lite for CE

Does Oracle 8i Lite for CE run on the Jornada 720. This handheld is using the StrongARM SA1110 processor. The core system version is 3.0.

Hi,
I'm runing Oracle8i Lite in windows ME, and I do get the an error saying that the server is too low for this feature, but I get the SQL prompt right away after that. Maybe u should configure the password in the Oracle 8 Navigator, by selecting the new Object icon, and then register your new Database connection.
Good luck

Oracle 8i Lite for Linux, Is it available?

Hi all,
Wanted to know if Oracle 8i Lite is available for Linux.
Thanks

Hi DH,
On Oracle 8.1.5 the Oracle client is on the same CD as the Oracle server. I didn't receive the 8.1.6 version yet, but I expect its not any different.
When you run the OUI, you get the options 'Oracle8i Enterprise Edition', 'Oracle Client' and ;Oracle Programmer'. Just select Oracle Client, and the client will be installed

Oracle 9i Lite for Linux, which Distribution ??

Hi,
which Linux distribution can you recommend running 9i Lite ?
I tried SuSE 7.3, and finally succeeded in running the
mobile server after quite some problem. However failed to
run the mobile server as apache module. So which distribution works without having major problems ??
Any tips are really appreciated.
Thanks,
Marco

Just a note to say that 9ilite would be really useful to us as well....
we have an application with around 10,000 client devices on which Linux will be the OS ---- we would like to us Olite....
What are Oracle's plans to support Linux with Olite?????

Installing Oracle Application Server 10.2 for Oracle Database Lite

Can anybody please tell me how to install oracle application server 10.2 for oracle database lite (i use oracle database lite for my final project). I use wi-fi connection to synchronize between pda and my laptop as server. Should i install oracle internet directory before installing oracle application server? I have difficulties in installing application server, what are the options should i take in every page of installation? Thanks before.

Install with the base, do not select any other options. Only choose webcache if you require the use of a software load balancer.

[Oracle 9i Lite] Request for Windows CE 3.0 PowerPC 821 release

After 10 days, we have unfortunately received no answer to our request mails.
We try an ultimate post in this forum, hoping that Oracle representatives are watching AND answering.

Dear Oracle Development Team,
Hitachi & Cytale are launching a project with the INSEE (National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies), to equip their enquirers with a mobile platform (the Cybook Pro), to update national databases on a daily basis (e.g. the French Consumer Price Index).
The INSEE considers integrating Oracle 9i Lite solution into their software architecture.
Before moving developments any further, we need to know:
- whether you are willing to compile Oracle 9i Lite for our platform;
- if so, when the release can be expected for tests and development.
Notes:
- The Cybook Pro runs Windows 3.0 on a PowerPC 821 (PPC821).
- The ODBC module of Oracle 9i Lite will be used.
- If needed, we can provide you with a PPC821 SDK.
- We (Cytale & INSEE) are willing to help if tests need be done.
- The INSEE will have their choices finalized by the end of May, feasibility and development tests must be fully completed before that date.
Companies working on the project are:
- Hitachi <http://www.hitachi.fr>
- INSEE <http://www.insee.fr>
- Cytale <http://www.cytale.com>
We are looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Best regards,

This is caused by a bug in Oracle's ODBC API for Windows CE in
the dbaccess.cpp header file. It can be fixed by doing the
following;
at (or about) line 155;
Inside For Loop, before
'if(::SQLGetData' statement.
memset(&g_szBuff, 0, sizeof(g_szBuff));
This will reset the memory for the data column after it has been
read.
Oracle would have to implement this fix and then recompile mSQL
in order for mSQL to display NULL values correctly.
Cheers,
Allen.
>
Actually the problem is not (only) in mSQL as we are using the
API to view the data and are seeing the same result. We suspect
the problem is in the API which mSQL is probably also using to
access the data.

Oracle 9i lite application development using java

hi all,
I want to develop a applcation which interacts with the 9i lite database in java.Is there any emulator which will help me in developing this on a windows 2000 machine or winnt machine?
i tried developing it in eVB but the emulator which come along with it does not support the 'oladoce' object..
please if anybody has done something on this please help .. this is very urgent..
thanks ..,
sreekanth sreedharan

Oracle 9i Lite is a multi-platform product and you need to specific the target OS for the database and the version of java.
If you are planning to run your application in Win2000 you will have no problem using Oracle 9i Lite with the supplied
jdbc drivers and any java development environment for J2SE. What you get is a laptop platform that works while not
connected to the Internet
If you are trying to using Oracle 9i Lite on the Palm with J2ME development on windows, it works fine with the Palm Emulator
but I am not sure that the jdbc drivers are available for J2ME yet and I have not used them as I have for J2SE on windows
I am also very interested in developing java applications for the palm using Oracle 9i Lite and I would appreciate feedback
on the jdbc and other required sql extensions for the sun java cldc
If you are talking about the PocketPC or other WinCE, I cannot help you but I have used Personal Java on WinCE but not yet
attempted Oracle 9i Lite on those platforms

Hi
Your oracle database and forms are installed on different oracle home so when you configurate your sql net that time you are configurating only your oracle database. So for form you must be having different oracle home. you cand change thid from start/oracle inatallation products/home selecter. so change our home and run the form. and if still having problem than check for tnsnames.ora file you must be having two files and both must be having right configuration.
thanks

2.Win NT RAS sevice for TCP/IP
3.iConnect Consolidator Server for replication "mgp.bat"
III-The Palm device
1.Consolidator Client for Palm : "ConsolidatorClient.prc"
2.Satellite Forms application files (*.prc and *.pdb)
3.OracleLauncher file for the HTTP conduit "OracleLauncher.prc"
IV-Schema creation with JAVA API
