Oracle 10g Express Edition / 64-bit client

hi all,
I have Oracle 10g express edition installed on a remote Vista/32-bit machine. I installed the XE Client on a Vista/64-bit and got the following error:
UnsatistifiedLinkError: ocijdbc10.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform.
So, I tried installing the Instant Client (64-bit) and I'm getting a similiar error:
UnsatistifiedLinkError: ocijdbc10.dll: Can't load IA 64-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform.
Using the XE Client, I'm able to login using sqlplus. Anyone have any ideas ??
thanks jim

Hi Jim, unless something has changed recently - the installation instructions for XE specifically state it is for a 32-bit windows operating system. Also, it does not mention using Vista. If you have access to the 10g Express forum they may have more information there for you.

Pro*Cobol for Oracle 10g Express Edition is available?

Hi to all, this is my first post here.
I evaluating Cobol to Oracle products and I have find one it´s more
We installed Oracle 10g Express Edition (Server and Client), to test compatibility of a Cobol product.
This product requires the "rtsora" component, from Pro*Cobol, but we didn´t find it in any place in the instalation packages.
The documentation show the precompilers to be at $ORACLE_HOME/precomp but there is only two folders (admin and lib) with "ottcfg" files. Nothing more
Searching this and anothers foruns, I became to think if the precompilers facilities, like Pro*Cobol, may be available to the 10g Express Edition for Linux, OR, if this is a feature available only to the Standart Editions (or Windows)?
The instalation and users manuals appears to don´t distinguish the 10g standart from the Express Edition. Also, the Express Edition doesn´t ask for any kind of "customization oprtions" as I read about in another topics.
Edited:
1 - We are using this on Linux Ubuntu.
2 - The Windows 10g Express Edition appears to be more complete, but I need to run this on Express Edition.
Thanks in advance!
(sorry bad english)

There is no official communication on 11G express edition release date .
You will have to wait and watch Oracle Official website for that .

Oracle 11g client / oracle 10g express edition in one computer

Hi All,

My Question is : Will installing both of 11g Client and 10g XE will cause conflict in my computer or is it ok to install both. Any suggestion/information is appreciated.

Oracle 10g Express Edition doesn't works on Win SBS 2011

Deutsch
Hallo zusammen!
Ich ein kleines Problem mit der Installation von Oracle 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0. Zuerst, ich muss die ältere Version nehmen, weil das Programm welches dann auf Oracle zugreift sehr „sensibel“ ist und wohlmöglich mit der neueren Version 11g nicht klar kommt.
Die Version 10g habe ich nun auf einen Server mit Windows SBS 2011 Essentials SP1 64-Bit installiert. Doch leider bekomme ich nach der Installation keinen Zugriff zum Localhost 127.0.0.1:8080/apex. Weder mit IE noch mit Firefox.
Meine Frage wäre funktioniert die Version 10g auf Windows SBS 2011 mit 64-bit überhaupt und falls ja, wo müsste man eventuell in Windows noch etwas einstellen damit man Zugriff auf 127.0.0.1:8080/apex hat?
Vielen Dank vorab!

Hello at all!
I’ve some problems with the installation of Oracle 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0. At first i must take the old version of Oracle, because the program which needs Oracle ist very “sensitive” and i fear this program doesn’t cope with the new version.
So i install the version 10g on a server with Windows SBS 2011 Essentials SP1 64-Bit. Unfortunately i don't get an access to the localhost 127.0.0.1:8080/apex. I try it with IE and Firefox.
My question is does Oracle 10g works on Windows SBS 2011 64-bit and if yes, is there any setting to do on Windows to get the an access to 127.0.0.1:8080/apex?
Thank!

does Oracle 10g works on Windows SBS 2011 64-bitYou can see supported OSes in System Requirements for Windows platforms.
As always, not certified does not necessarily mean it won't work, but if you have problems...

An issue while installing oracle 10g express edition on Ubuntu 10.04-64bit

Hi,
I'm running into an issue while installing oracle 10g express edition on my Ubuntu 10.04-64 bit installed machine using oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb package. The issue actually came up when I was trying to reinstall the package after uninstalling it due to some problem I had with my login credentials. To elaborate further on it, the /etc/init.d/oracle-xe script does not get created when I execute the debian package and thus i'm unable to configure the required credentials and stuff after the installation. I doubt whether this has something to do with the procedure I followed when uninstalling the previous package it. But what I did was just what's mentioned in the following [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25144/toc.htm] user guide published by oracle.
Another important clue would be, the platform of my machine is amd64bit although I'm dealing with an installation package preferred for i386. But I believe it's the only thing available in the oracle software download section. Hence I had to use the --force-architecture option to install it. But after reading some post published on this forum, I've figured out that it does not affect the usual execution of the software. Anyway, I would greatly appreciate some help on this matter.

Hi,
Finally I've managed to find a solution for this issue. Thanks a lot for all the replies.
Here's how I got rid of it.
Addressing all the facts one by one,
1.The problem of not getting the /etc/init.d/oracle-xe script generated was avoided
by removing all the configuration files that were previously created while installing
the product. The following command can be used to accomplish that task.
*$ dpkg --purge oracle-xe*
2.Next, Initially the password I used during the configuration process was "admin".
Although I tried a couple of times installing the product providing the aforementioned
password, the web UI kept prompting "Invalid Credentials" message not allowing me
to login. But, this particular issue could be avoided by giving some other simple
password.
Finally, got it working and once again thanks a bunch for taking the burden of
replying this thread.
Cheers,
Prabath

Oracle 10g express edition recovery catalog

whether oracle 10g express edition spoort recovery catalog?

Yes you can; the answer is in the manual.
>
In general, the rules of RMAN compatibility are as follows:
<li>You can create 8.X or 9.X RMAN catalog schema in any Oracle database release 8.1.X (or higher) and Release 10g RMAN catalog schema in any Oracle database release 9.0.1 (or higher).</li>
<li>The recovery catalog schema version must be greater than or equal to the RMAN client version.</li>
<li>Ideally, the versions of the RMAN client and the target database should be the same (although there are other legal combinations, listed in Table B-1).</li>
<li>While backing up a Release 10g database using the 9.X RMAN client, you cannot include a controlfile that was created using compatible=10.0.0 in a datafile backupset. The workaround is to turn controlfile autobackup ON.</li>

Java Connection Pooling issue with Oracle 10g Express Edition

Hello
I have a Java based web application that uses the Oracle 10g Express Edition database. I am using a connection pool to get connections to the database.
I use the NetBeans IDE and run my web application on the bundled Tomcat server(5.5.7) that comes with the IDE. Though when I initially run the application from the IDE, the connection pool is set up fine, when I recompile my java code and try to run the application again, I get the following error each time:
Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12516, TNS:listener could not find available handler with the
matching protocol stack.
The logs before the error shows up, indicate that the connection pool object is fine and gives me the number of available connections and the number of active connections and so on, which I have printed from the constructor of the Connection Pool class:
For e.g.:
Cache size = 17
Available Connections = 17
Cache Limit = 1000
Active size = 0
However, if I kill my Tomcat server process and run the application again, it works fine with no error.
I looked around for possible causes and solutions and all I could find
was increasing the processes parameter value in the init.ora file. I have increased the parameter value to from 100 to 20000 now, in increments of 500/1000 each time but it hasnt worked so far.
Someone else suggested that I increase the size of my connection pool; I initially had it set to a minimum limit of 5, an initial limit of 10 and a maximum limit of 1000. However if I set the Initial Limit to anything above 17 connections, I see the following log on the Bundled Tomcat log and my application doesn't run at all:
Log: Loading JDBC Driver : class=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver ...
Log: Loaded JDBC Driver
Log: Connection with URL=jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe as username/password
Error code not handled : 0
Exception Message :java.sql.SQLException: Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12519, TNS: no appropriate service handler found
The Connection descriptor used by the client was:
localhost:1521:xe
// End of log
And the Bundled Tomcat server automatically shuts down.
Again the System.out statements from the Connection Pool class constructor show that the cache has been initialized and that currently there are free connections available in the pool.
E.g.
Cache size = 18
Available Connections = 18
Cache Limit = 1000
Active size = 0
Has anyone faced anything similar? Could someone please suggest what I'm doing wrong here and what I should do to set right this problem?
Swetha

hello, please pardon me, my english is basic. i do of my best. i had the same problem until reading the pdf documentation 2 days for java devvelloper.it is simple, follow this way.
try {OracleDataSource ds;
Connection conn;
ds = new OracleDataSource();
ds.setURL("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost");
conn = ds.getConnection("userid","password");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
don't forget to Dowload the user client of oracle Express Edition. do the rest of your program and it will work. take a look to the documentation pdf for java develloper. all it is explained. good look

Connecting oracle 10g express edition to jdeveloper

I am having all kinds of problems connecting oracle 10g express edition with my jdeveloper 10.1.3.3. I can query the database from my command line so I know it is set up, but for whatever reason jdeveloper will not connect with it. When I try to connect with the database through jdeveloper here is the error I keep getting:
Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12518, TNS:listener could not hand off client connection
The Connection descriptor used by the client was:

I have been all through the google results looking for an answer and have come to the conclusion that it is something with either the listerner file or the tns file, but as of yet have been unable to locate them. here are both of those files too.

Please any help would be appreciated I have been at this for days, thanks.

This has to be some kind of bug with 10g express because I see lots of people having similar problems. I'm in the process of uninstalling 10g, and I will re-install it see if that makes a difference. Again if anyone has any other ideas please keep them coming because this is utter BS it shouldn't be this hard.

Issues during reinstallation Oracle 10g express edition and Forms 6i

I've been racking my head over this issue for the past two three days. Exasperated, I tried searching in the forums but could not find a specific scenario like this.
I am facing issues while trying to get forms 6i to work with oracle 10g Express edition
i have windows XP home edition (installed service pack 2) and installed oracle 10g express edition as well as the oracle 10g express client and SQL developer on the same machine. The database started fine and I was able to use Enterprise manager.
After that I tried installing Forms 6i and whatever i try i am not able to connect to the database from Forms though I was able to connect easily from SQL developer. I used to get the error 12154 "TNS:could not resolve service name"
I dont know if Forms 6i expects the database connector string in some particular format. I searched on the net and found some people solved the issue by reinstalling the database software.
My machine name was complex so I changed it as well and reinstalled the software. Again the DB was fine and connections were fine but no way I could get forms to connect to the DB. All the time
I tried installing Forms to the same folder that Oracle express edition home in the hope that it might fix the problem. That only caused my database to crash. The oracle xe service shows as started but the Enterprise manager link does not work and it seems the database is down. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling client and server to no avail.
Has anyone gone through such a situation and solved this ? Appreciate your help.

The statement about XP Home is correct, but in this case I would say the initial problem (Forms and ORA-12154) is independent of that, it also happens in a supported environment. I think it's the old problem, a second Oracle home was installed, but tnsnames.ora containing the connect informations is located in the first home.
Either tnsnames.ora is copied from to <Second_ORACLE_HOME>\network\admin or the environment variable TNS_ADMIN is set system-wide to <First_ORACLE_HOME>\network\admin.
I think now it's necessary to create a clean machine (remove all Oracle components as explained in the database installation guide for Windows). Then repeat the installation , but XE and Forms 6i in different ORACLE_HOMEs.

yaa i'm sure about that .
i want one more instance of database.Can you perhaps explain why? I have a fair share of production and development servers - and not a single one of them needs to run more than one database instance.
So I'm interested in what requirement you are trying to satisfy by using two database instances on a single platform.
Oh yeah - if you want to create a custom XE instance (different SID, different tablespace sizes, more/less PL/SQL stuff installed, hack standard), make a copy of your XE db creation script (in your XE's +$ORACLE_HOME/bin+ and called createdb.sh ) and modify that for your needs.
PS. even with a different SID, only a single XE instance can be run at a time - you can however have 2 different ones defined and then use one at a time (e.g. testing international settings, init param differences, etc.)
