Oracle 10g Express Edition - change default working directory for save ?

Greetings all,
I'm completely new to Oracle but I am quite sure that on Oracle 9i, when using the <save xyz.sql> statement, a file was saved somewhere on the hard drive.
I accidentaly managed to convince XE to save .sql files on C:\ but I would like to change that ...
Google refused to offer me a solution so I'm asking you guys for advice.
And no, <save desired_path\filename.sql> is not an option :P, I would like to make the change permanent.
Thank you in advance,

Hi,
If you are using Windows, you can edit your "SQLPlus 80" shortcut.
Changing the "start in" path to, e.g. "c:\sql" will do the trick. SQL+ commands such as "save" and "get" will now use "c:\sql" as default working directory.

  • 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.

  • Can not upgrade oracle 10g express edition 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.4

    I have install oracle 10g express edition 10.2.0.1 for windows 2003
    now I want upgrade to 10.2.0.4,I download p6810189(10.2.0.4 patch)

    oracle BASE:C:\oraclexe\
    oracle home_name:XE
    oracle sid:XE

    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.

    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

    does it mean my oracle http listener is started?

    You will go into this path C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\rdbms\admin\scott.sql. You can get scott.sql script yhen you need to run the script like @C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\rdbms\admin\scott.sql. Otherwise you just copy the below script and save it into one file then run that file using @

    I followed guide here http://alodib.com/?q=node/32.
    Installation went well. Then I configured it, apparently went well. But could not get it running.
    I have following output
    $>sudo /etc/rc.d/oracle-xe restart

    1) which Linux(freeware) flavor should I install ?Ordinarily, I'd recommend getting Oracle Linux (http://eDelivery.oracle.com/linux) because the default install includes all the prerequisite RPM packages you will need. And failing that, also offers another RPM package "oracle-validated" which will cause the installation of the necessary prerequisites.
    But... you mentioned customer: if this is a revenue-producing situation and customer money is at stake, I strongly recommend they obtain commercial O/S support with either Oracle, Red Hat, or maybe SuSE/Novell. Compared to the cost of a downed business, an O/S support arrangement is cheap, cheap, cheap.
    2) is there any virtual enviornment available for Linux Os on which I can install 10g Express Edition database ?Sure. You can run Oracle VirtualBox on most Linux, Windows, or Solaris boxes. http://VirtualBox.org for info.
    3) If available, is there any difference in using the Linux Os in Virtual enviornment and actual installing Linux ? will there be any difference in installing database and configuration for both the cases?No real differences in either environment.
    4) need download link for latest version of Red Hat Linux setupWhat, you didn't try http://eDelivery.oracle.com/linux yet?

  • Can I import a tablespace into Oracle 10g Express Edition

    I am very new to Oracle 10g Express Edition. We have a server running Oracle Enterprise Edition and we have been creating a transportable tablespace to be imported into a few servers. This works fine for us. I would like to find out if I can import the tablespace into Oracle 10g Express Edition. Someone told me that I should be able to do that but I have no clue to how to do it. If this is possible, can someone tell where to find the information how to do this.
    Thanks,
    RJ

    I finally tried it and I got the following errors:
    IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 721:
    "BEGIN sys.dbms_plugts.checkCompType('COMPATSG','10.2.0.2.0'); END;"
    IMP-00003: ORACLE error 721 encountered
    ORA-00721: changes by release 10.2.0.2.0 cannot be used by release 10.2.0.1.0
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_PLUGTS", line 2004
    ORA-06512: at line 1
    IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully
    Am I right that the server that I exported the tablespace is using Oracle 10.2.0.2.0 while Oracle Express is 10.2.0.1.0? I looked around and I did not see Oracle Express version 10.2.0.2.0 that I can download. Is there a patch or something to upgrade it?
    Thanks,
    RJ

  • 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.

  • Trying to uninstall oracle 10g express edition

    Hello,
    The title says it all.
    I installed the application earlier and I'm now trying to unistall it.
    I tried to use the "classic" unistall function from the control panel but it didn't work. When I clicked "unistall" the oracle icon disappeared and but the program is still there.
    Is there any other way to unistall it?
    The version is "oracle 10g express edition" installed on Windows vista.
    Thanks in advance for you're help!
    Gladys.

    I used this process and it worked:
    1. Stop all oracle services
    2. Delete all oracle registry entries
    3. Delete C:\program files\oracle directory
    4. Delete oracle_home directory
    5. Delete oracle items from the start menu.
    Interesting link for other that may be in the same situation in the future:
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/ManualOracleUninstall.php
    extract from the link:
    QUOTE
    In the past I've had many problems uninstalling all Oracle products from Windows systems. Here's my last resort method:
    * Uninstall all Oracle components using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI).
    * Run regedit.exe and delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE key. This contains registry entires for all Oracle products.
    * Delete any references to Oracle services left behind in the following part of the registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Ora*
    It should be pretty obvious which ones relate to Oracle.
    * Reboot your machine.
    * Delete the "C:\Oracle" directory, or whatever directory is your ORACLE_BASE.
    * Delete the "C:\Program Files\Oracle" directory.
    * Empty the contents of your "c:\temp" directory.
    * Empty your recycle bin.
    At this point your machine will be as clean of Oracle components as it can be without a complete OS reinstall.
    Remember, manually editing your registry can be very destructive and force an OS reinstall so only do it as a last resort.
