Oracle 10g Express Edition Beta 3 ODBC Driver Always Crashes

I find that if you set up an ODBC Data Source for Oracle 10g Express Edition on Windows XP SP2 using the "Oracle in XE" driver, anything that tries to access it will crash, even the Windows ODBC Data Source Administratior if you click the "Test Connection" button.
Having clicked the button, you get a window coming up entitled "Oracle ODBC Driver" with a yellow exclamation mark in it, with no other text in the window except for an OK button.
If you press OK, then it crashes and goes through the "Please tell Microsoft about this problem" process....

Hi,
Thanks for your comment, but I can't get onto the XE forum.
I found http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/xe/forum.html which says:
Forum registration is possible only by downloading and installing Oracle Database XE. After installation, click on the "Registration" link from the Database homepage.
However I find that the "Database Homepage" does not exist.
Choosing the Oracle XE "Go To Database Home Page" takes my browser to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex which is not available even though my oracle server is running and sqlplus can talk to it.
There's definitely nothing serving on tcp port 8080, as follows:
[dcampbel@clevo]~> telnet localhost 8080
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

Not installing Oracle 10g Express Edition Beta 2

Hi,
I am in problem to install Oracle 10g Express Edition Beta 2 on Windows 2000 Pro. I have download OracleXE.exe but when i am double clicking on it, it is not working. What are the problems? Please help me
Dulal

Hello,
Oracle 10g XE is rather specific and, I'm not sure that you can upgrade it to 10.2.0.4 .
However, Oracle published an Upgrade Guide for Oracle Express Edition but, it's limited to *10.2.0.3*:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/server.102/b32391/toc.htm
But be careful:
Once you have upgraded to Oracle Database 10g, you cannot downgrade back to Oracle Database Express Edition.Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

Oracle 10g Express Edition Beta 3 Install Problems

I made three install attempts for this software, and I'll detail them below.
This was a fresh install on a computer that previously had no other version running
ATTEMPT 1
The installation procedure ran, but even though the OracleServiceXE service started, the server wouldn't work and I couldn't connect to it.
c:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\config\log\postDBCreation.log contained the following...
SQL> connect "SYS"/"&&sysPassword" as SYSDBA
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
SQL> set echo on
SQL> //create or replace directory DB_BACKUPS as 'D:\utils\oraclexe\app\oracle\flash_recovery_area';
SP2-0640: Not connected
SQL> begin
2 dbms_xdb.sethttpport('8080');
3 dbms_xdb.setftpport('0');
4 end;
5 /
SP2-0640: Not connected
SQL> create spfile='D:\utils\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\dbs/spfileXE.ora' FROM pfile='D:\utils\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\config\scripts\init.ora';
SP2-0640: Not connected
SQL> shutdown immediate;
ORA-01012: not logged on
SQL> connect "SYS"/"&&sysPassword" as SYSDBA
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
I proceeded to uninstall and then reinstall in attempt 2.
ATTEMPT 2
This time, the installation procedure ran but didn't finish. It got up to the point where it said "Creating and starting services for Oracle Database 10g Express Edition..." and it sat there for a long time doing nothing, but there was a process "IDriver.exe" using a large percentage of the CPU all that while.
I ended up having to kill the installation process with the task manager to stop it, and then since the installation wasn't successful had to manually delete everything in c:\oraclexe
ATTEMPT 3
This time the installation went a lot better and after the install, everything in c:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\config\log\postDBCreation.log looks normal.
I am able to connect to the database with sqlplus now, but the OracleXETNSListener process won't start.
When starting, it says this, but the OracleXETNSListener doesn't stay running:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\BIN>net start OracleXETNSListener
The OracleXETNSListener service was started successfully.
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\BIN>net start OracleServiceXE
The OracleServiceXE service is starting.
The OracleServiceXE service was started successfully.
If I start the service in the windows services application it says "The OracleXETNSListener service on Local Computer started and then stopped..."
However, if I explicitly run c:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\bin\tnslsnr.exe from the commandline, it works.
Why won't it start as a service?

Hello
I have the same problem.
My config :
- XP SP 2
Other installed products :
- last version Oracle JDevelopper
- Oracle Client 9.2.0 (the service does not run)
By the way,
JDev needs ORACLE_HOME set (c:\oracle for me).
Should Oracle XE be installed in %ORACLE_HOME% too or in an new empty folder (like c:\oraclexe) as it is recommended by the installer
I checked if I already use the port 1521 using netstat /ab but it seems this port is not used.
On a second PC, it works well.
How can I access the DB on my secondary PC from jdev on my priomary PC?
--> how can I only install OracleXE client on my primary PC?

UTF support in XML DB at Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Beta 2

hello everybidy! ;)
I use Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Beta 2 Release for Microsoft Windows (dated 16-Nov-05) and place into XML DB XSLT-file (UTF8-encoded and contained some Cyrillic chars) and 10g XP can`t apply such transformation but when i replace cyrillic chars with latin chars - everything work just fine. Is it known bug? Can it be fixed by some reconfiguration or moving to Linux version of 10g XP? When will new release?
truly yours,
Slav
p.s. here some oracle forum testing ХАРЕ=XAPE, PAMA=РАМА :)

Hello, Bhagat.
I don't understand why you would install HTMLDB with apexins.sql (it's a procedure to install HTMLDB for 9i and 10G EE/SE not XE)
because HTMLDB (APEX) is already install with Oracle Express Edition. Not need
to install it with apexins.sql

Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Beta 2 Installation

Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Beta 2 Release for Microsoft Windows installation successful, no problems.

Hi Rekha,
The format mask 999G999G999G999G990D0000 is the format mask that I selected from the software itself. I also use this format mask for a single record update. If' s ok, no error, but with tabular form with multiple record update, it shows error .I also changed the decimal point to two digits ,select from software pop-up window (this was tested in the workspace provide by Oracle). It still shows error. Last test I put the space like 1 111,111.00 in a single record update it shows error (but if I put 1 in front of 111,111 without space it's ok-no space before). My point is from user point of view.In the first time user input 100000 the software accept it. Opp! it has to be 1100000. The user comes back after submit and put 1 without comma.It shows error (in tabular form with multiple record update not in single row update). While in the first time the user do not to key any comma at all. This may makes some confuses both the users and the developers which had to check error by adding program to checking some where in Page Processing or Page Rendering.
Thanks

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...

Installing and Running Oracle 10g Express Edition on Microsoft Vista

My computer is running on Microsoft Vista.
I downloaded Oracle 10g Express Edition for Vista.
I ran the setup.exe. Everything went well there.
But, when I open the SQLPlus program, a window prompts me to enter my username, password and host string.
Can someone please tell me what it is expecting for these fields? I am using the same username and password I used to create my Oracle account.
But what is the host string?
Appreciate it.
Thanks.

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

Backing up all data and objects of Oracle 10g Express Edition...

Hi,
I have tables, packages, views, procedures, etc. in Oracle 10g Express Edition, running on Windows XP. I would like to create a backup of the complete database (objects, relationships, all data, etc) into a file that I can restore in case the database crashes.
What do I do?
Thanks.

markk2 wrote:
I am actually using it for Production. Yes, I would need objects and data.I would suggest to look at the Standard Edition as well if you are using it for production.
Is there a way to backup everything without data and then backup everything with data? Also, is there a way to restore everything without data and then restore everything with data?What's the meaning of "backup everything withiut data" and "then backup everything with data" ? The data is in the tables alone. The rest of the objects are not containing data but are using it, be it views, procedures etc. There is no such restore like without data. Without data, all what you would be getting would be structures of the tables which is going to be of no use. The export/import tool, is a simple tool which can put the tables (and other objects as well) along with their data in your dumpfile . In the situation of loss of a table, you can do an import from that dump file and you can restore the table back(with or without data, depends on the choice of yours while running Import command) . But this is just going to be a logical recovery of the object(s). For a complete database, it's better to use RMAN which would copy the datafiles and keep it with itself. Later, when you have a crash, you can restore those files to get teh database recovered. But if you want complete security, its better to put your db in the archive log and then do the backup along with the archive log files.

How to do this exactly? Thanks!

Hi,
I have installed OEPE through Eclipse Update Manager for Eclipse Galileo 3.5. I have already installed oracle10g express edition and Appache tomcat 6.0 for web development.
Now I have unlocked the hr user and following instruction from white paper to use OEPE
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/cioroianu-eclipse-jpa.html
Now you can configure the database connection in Eclipse. Click Window > Show View > Other..., select Data Management > Data Source Explorer, and click OK. Right click Database Connections, click New, select Oracle Database Connection, enter the hr name for the connection, and click Next.
Select Oracle Database 10g Driver Default, change the server name in the jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe URL if necessary, enter the hr user name and its password, click Test Connection to verify that everything is correct, and click Finish
But here when I tried to connect to the database, it give me error - Creating connection to New oracle database connection has encountered a problem
Couldn't connect to New Oracle Database Connection.

I know i am wrong some where, Please tell me where I am going wrong? Do I need to download and configure weblogic 10g first? Is this don't work with Apache tomcat server instead?
Thanks
