Oracle 10g Configuration for Student Edition

To Whom It May Concern,
I am currently enrolled in an Oracle 10g course at a local community college, and am using the "Guide to Oracle 10g" textbook by Morrison, Morrison & Conrad (ISBN: 0-619-21629-8). This book came with two CD's that contain a scaled-down student version of two Oracle 10g databases (Northwoods University & Clearwarter Traders).
I have attempted to install and configure the database software so that I can log on to the databases using SQL*Plus, but I am unable to do so. When attempting to log on, I get a "TNS:no listener" error (ORA-12541) or similar error. I have tried adding and configuring a listener, net service, etc. using the Oracle Net Configuration Assistant, but nothing works. The configuration tests always fail. I am sure that I am using the correct host name (I checked the TNSNames.ora file).
Can you please assist? Do you have documentation (or advice) on how to successfully configure this software?
Thank you,
Greg

Thanks again for your reply, Phiri. I tried your suggestion, but still get the same errors. I tried searching the Oracle Home directory for a batch or executable file with the name "lsnrctl", but the search only returns two htm files. It looks like it can't execute the program simply because it does not exist.
NOTE: According to the .htm files, you are supposed to include the listener name after the command.
Ex: lsnrctl start My_Listener_01
I tried this, but it did not work either

    I used to 10gR1 version to check out change manager. It was indeed buggy. It was quite easy to configure though and bear in mind, that it's here only for backward compatibility reason. This won't be available in the next versions.

    There are no upgrades for student editions. You simply buy a fresh license at the discounted price.

  • Can we use replication usings oracle 10g steams for EBS r12 database?

    HI,
    We are using EBS 12.0.6 and database 10.2.0.3 on linux 32-bit/64-bit OS (Multi-Node env).
    Actually We want to decrease the load of custom reports on actual production system, so thats why
    we need reports server and as my past experience I had used oracle streams for replication with simple schema based replication and tablespace replication also.
    So, please educate me, that can i used the oracle 10g streams for EBS schemas like APPS, GL ,INV, PO, ONT, ODM, AR, AP, CM etc?
    Please provide us the above related env docs and road Map.
    If you have any other way to create the Report Server?
    Regard,
    Fayaz Ahmed

    Hi,
    We are not in a position to upgrade the EBS from 12.0.6 to 12.1, because this is lengthy task, but we had already tested technically it in test env, but functional testing in pending.
    Now we want to immediate solution if possible, because this is production?
    So, please suggest another.
    regards

  • What mechanism Oracle 10g use for write (Insert/ Update) and Read (Select)?

    Hi
    What mechanism Oracle 10g use for write (Insert/ Update) and Read (Select)?
    Thank you

    Aren't the answers given in PL/SQL forum sufficient enough?Well, as the first answer in that forum directed the OP to this forum you can hardly blame them for the repost.
    There is some high-level stuff in the Concepts Guide. If that is insufficient the OP will need to tell us what more details they need to know (and perhaps why).
    Cheers, APC

  • Upgrade path for Oracle XE to Oracle 10G rel2 Standard/Enterprise Edition

    Good day,
    We are currently have application using Oracle 10G XE. Is there a document guide available to assist migration/upgrades from Oracle 10G XE to Oracle 10G Rel2
    Thank you in advance for your guidance

    You can use import/export from within the apex application control to move apex applications, or if you are just interested in moving a database (and don't use apex) you can use exp/imp.

    As others have said, the best recommendation is to download either VMplayer (free from VMware) or VMworkstation (about US$185 from VMware, but with better management tools than the free version) or VirtualBox (free from Oracle, but not quite as easy to work with as VMware). With any of these tools you can create a virtual machine on your laptop/desktop. On that virtual machine you can install Oracle Linux (free from Oracle). Once you have that built, you can download and install any Oracle product you want -- includeing Database Enterprise Edition -- free from Oracle for self-study purposes.

    sPS:
    Learning how to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
    Go to tahiti.oracle.com.
    Drill down to your product and version.
    <b><i><u>BOOKMARK THAT LOCATION</u></i></b>
    Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab you will find the complete documentation library.
    Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what <b><i><u>kind</u></i></b> of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
    Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what <b><i><u>kind</u></i></b> of information is available there.
    Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
    Do the same with the Utilities manual.
    You don't have to read the above in depth. They are <b><i><u>reference</b></i></u> manuals. Just get familiar with <b><i><u>what</b></i></u> is there to <b><i><u>be</b></i></u> referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
    Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
    - Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
    - Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them (listed in your alert log) in the Reference Manual.
    - Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
    - When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.
    Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.
    PPS:
    Why are you considering making this change? There will always be more jobs for developers than for DBAs. What is your motivation? Please don't tell me it's because of the money.

  • Oracle 10G support for both Cyrillic and Western European Character Sets

    Dear all,
    Our DB currently supports western EU characters sets but we need to also support Russian Characters.
    Is there a common character set for both? or some trick that does the job?
    Thanks.
    DB: Oracle 10G R2
    OS: Linux
    Current Char Set:
    NLS_CHARACTERSET     WE8ISO8859P1
    NLS_CALENDAR     GREGORIAN
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET     AL16UTF16

    AL32UTF8 will always do the job.

  • Need to setup Oracle 10g Sandbox for Class

    Hello all,
    This is the first time I am teaching a class on Oracle 10g. I would like some advice on how to do the initial setup of the database. I have 14 students in my class. I want to create each of them an account and I want each of them to be able to create tables in a sandbox. I do not want student A to be able to see student B's tables or do anything to them. I would like each student to be able to create tables with the same name. If Student A creates a table called Inventory, Student B should be able to create a table called Inventory without colliding with Student A's table. What would be a simple way to do this? Thank you!

    Sorry if you took it wrong, but it was not clear from your first post.
    So, to try to give a "better" answer, assuming you have only one database for all your student, you should not be afraid they "see" tables from eachother.
    Oracle allow multiple times same object name hosted by different users, as long as they have no public synonym.
    You should create the users with the minimum rights you want they will do (create table, create view) without forgot create session and quota against the proper tablespace, and probably you should give them a default tablespace as well. But avoid any powerful rights like DBA, RESOURCE and CONNECT, they would be able then to fire some commands you want to avoid.
    Nicolas.

  • Oracle 10g Enterprise vs Standard Edition performance

    For a database hosted on a single machine is there any performance advantage in using Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition over Standard Edition? For our application we do not require data warehousing or OLAP, just the ability to store and query a large amount of XML as CLOBs or using sturctured mapping.
    I have looked at online documentation but have not been able to find the answer. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Probably not. Unless there is some EE feature you can leverage, there probably won't be a performance difference.

  • Downloaded oracle 10g license for 30days

    i have downloaded a oracle 10g from oracle website, but i found that it can only be used for 30days, i am just a student, i just want to learn it. does anyone know what will happened after 30 days? how long can i use? what is the technical difference of downloaded version and retailed version? any limitation?
    thank you!

    Regariding the internal constitution of the software there is not any difference and what you said is true. The agreement of Oracle is that you can test the software during 30 days and after if you want to follow using you have to buy it.
