Oracle 11g and 12c on same windows 7 machine

Hi folks,
Want to try out 12c on my windows 7 laptop but still want to keep my 11g database.
Anyone tried running Oracle 11g and 12c on same windows machine?
Any links or guidelines are appreciated
Thanks

you won't be the first or the last person to try it.
this question can be easily answered but why question something that it's easier to test by yourself?
My advice: Try and if you have problems then question us.

    We have installed Oracle 11g 64 bit on a Windows 7 64 bit system. As we need to run some 32 bit application on the system, We installed 32 bit client and try to configured Local Net Service Name Configuration using Oracle Net Configuration Assistant and during test, it is unable to connect and giving the following error.

    Best Regards
    Fred=================================
    A couple of important points.
    First, the listener is a server side only process. It's entire purpose in life is to receive requests for connections to databases and set up those connections. Once the connection is established, the listener is out of the picture. It creates the connection. It doesn't sustain the connection. One listener, with the default name of LISTENER, running from one oracle home, listening on a single port, will serve multiple database instances of multiple versions running from multiple homes. It is an unnecessary complexity to try to have multiple listeners or to name the listener as if it belongs to a particular database. That would be like the telephone company building a separate switchboard for each customer.
    Additional notes on the listener: One listener is capable of listening on multiple ports. But please notice that it is the listener using these ports, not the database instance. You can't bind a specific listener port to a specific db instance. Similarly, one listener is capable of listnening on multiple IP addresses (in the case of a server with multiple NICs) But just like the port, you can't bind a specific ip address to a specific db instance.
    Second, the tnsnames.ora file is a client side issue. It's purpose is for address resolution - the tns equivalent of the 'hosts' file further down the network stack. The only reason it exists on a host machine is because that machine can also run client processes.
    Assume you have the following in your tnsnames.ora:
    larry =
      (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS_LIST =
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost)(PORT = 1521))
        (CONNECT_DATA =
          (SERVICE_NAME = curley)
      )Now, when you issue a connect, say like this:
    $> sqlplus scott/tiger@larrytns will look in your tnsnames.ora for an entry called 'larry'. Next, tns sends a request to (PORT = 1521) on (HOST = myhost) using (PROTOCOL = TCP), asking for a connection to (SERVICE_NAME = curley).
    Where is (HOST = myhost) on the network? When the request gets passed from tns to the next layer in the network stack, the name 'myhost' will get resolved to an IP address, either via a local 'hosts' file, via DNS, or possibly other less used mechanisms. You can also hard-code the ip address (HOST = 123.456.789.101) in the tnsnames.ora.
    Next, the request arrives at port 1521 on myhost. Hopefully, there is a listener on myhost configured to listen on port 1521, and that listener knows about SERVICE_NAME = curley. If so, you'll be connected.
    What can go wrong?
    First, there may not be an entry for 'larry' in your tnsnames. In that case you get "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified" No need to go looking for a problem on the host, with the listener, etc. If you can't place a telephone call because you don't know the number (can't find your telephone directory (tnsnames.ora) or can't find the party you are looking for listed in it (no entry for larry)) you don't look for problems at the telephone switchboard.
    Maybe the entry for larry was found, but myhost couldn't be resolved to an IP address (say there was no entry for myhost in the local hosts file). This will result in "ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
    Maybe there was an entry for myserver in the local hosts file, but it specified a bad IP address. This will result in "ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
    Maybe the IP was good, but there is no listener running: "ORA-12541: TNS:no listener"
    Maybe the IP was good, there is a listener at myhost, but it is listening on a different port. "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error"
    Maybe the IP was good, there is a listener at myhost, it is listening on the specified port, but doesn't know about SERVICE_NAME = curley. "ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor"
    Third: If the client is on the same machine as the db instance, it is possible to connect without referencing tnsnames and without going through the listener.
    Now, when you issue a connect, say like this:
    $> sqlplus scott/tigertns will attempt to establish an IPC connection to the db instance. How does it know the name of the instance? It uses the current value of the enviornment variable ORACLE_SID. So...
    $> export ORACLE_SID=fred
    $> sqlplus scott/tigerIt will attempt to connect to the instance known as "fred". If there is no such instance, it will, of course, fail. Also, if there is no value set for ORACLE_SID, the connect will fail.
    check executing instances to get the SID

  • Problem with Oracle 11g(32 bit) installation on windows 7 ultimate edition

    Hello all,
    I have a problem with Oracle 11g(32 bit) installation on windows 7 ultimate edition (32 bit).
    I have successfully installed it immediately after OS installation. But today, i have decided to deinstall it and go for Oracle 10g version for 32 bit.
    Everything went normal during installation, but i can see the services is not present in services.msc. Also its throwing some exception for dbca, netca
    Now i tried to deinstall it and again go for 11g. But even the same story here..
    Can anybody give me a solution for this..
    -Regards

    SaqibNo need to install a fresh OS. That's like tearing your house down just because you wired a lamp wrong and blew a circuit breaker.
    There are MeaLink notes on how to eradicate an Oracle install from Windows, but it boils down to this:
    Stop all Oracle services
    In the registery:
    - Delete all oracle services from the register (HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet
    - Delete the entire Oralce folder from HKLM\Software
    reboot
    Delete the ORACLE_HOME directory and any other Oracle related directories/files. Offhand, it seems like there is an Oracle directory under Program Files.
    reboot

  • Help linking oracle 11g and joomla 1.6

    Hello
    I am currently working on a project which uses Joomla 1.6 and MySQL 5.15.

    Hey there...
    Well.... It sort of all depends on how Joomla is connecting to the database. Are they using a pre-built framework like PDO or Zend ?
    If they are it should be a a relatively easy task to move it to Oracle. If not then you will have to alter their DB layer and replace a lot of the mySQL calls with Oracle calls and add a few. For example MySQL does not parse a statement prior to execution but Oracle does eg:
    $oraDB = oci_connect([parms]);
    $query = oci_parse($OraDB,'select 'a' from dual');
    // If you are binding variables it would go between the parse and execute areas and it is mostly the same as doing
    // it with MySQL
    oci_execute($query);
    $data = oci_fetch_assoc($query);The instant client and the full client do things very differently and connections to the DB server are done differently so you will need to understand those differences and code accordingly.
    The OCI_8 php libraries are well established and documented. They must be installed on the server on which Joomla is running.
    If your machine is setup correctly this is as simple as:
    %pecl install oci8
    pecl will take care of pretty much everything including dealing with 32 -v- 64 bit and all you need do is make an entry in the php extension section letting it know the OCI libraries are installed. If not it is a bit more complicated.
    The software along with the instructions ca be found here: http://pecl.php.net/package/oci8
    You must have either the instant client or the regular Oracle client installed on the server on which Joomla is running.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.htmlhttp://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html
    After you accept the license agreement click on "See All" and you will see both the instant client and the full client for the version you require.
    It is extremely un-wise to attempt to run any version of oracle on the machine running joomla / Apache. If you do so, then you stand a better then even chance of failure as Oracle does not like to share resources.
    Make sure you read the install instructions for the oracle client and pay very close attention to things like environment settings and permissions issues on the php server as these are some of the most common problems. Once the client is installed and the oci libraries are installed things should run very smoothly. The whole php to Oracle chain is very fast and the fact that the db server is remote from the web server will not be an issue as long as the links are fast.
    If you have problems get back to us and we will do the best we can to help you sort things out.

  • ORACLE 11G AND IIS 7.0

    Hello ....
    I have an application server with Windows Server 2008, IIS 7 and Oracle Data Provider 11G.
    The website was set up. NET 2008 has made reference to the oracle, and to run from the application
    working properly executes the SQL without problem, but to make the creation of a website
    The IIS 7, and test its functionality, displays the following error
    Could not load file or assembly 'Oracle.Web, Version = 2.111.6.20' or one of its dependencies.
    The system can not find the file specified.
    The problem may be a compatibility between the version of Oracle 11G and IIS 7.0, I do not know if there is an
    additional component to the IIS 7.0 can recognize the version of Oracle as a provider of data?
    Please I am attentive to their solutions .... Thank you

    One thing might be if the web server has multiple versions of Oracle installed, then check to see which is first in the path. Another would be that at the least IIS would need to be restarted after the Oracle install, for the path to take effect, possibly the whole machine would need a re-boot for this.

  • Oracle 11g and PRO*C :  pre-compile errors only with 11g !

    Hi !
    I didn't find a forum specific to pro*c, so here i am.
    I've downloaded Oracle 11g and recompiled our applications using pro*c
    We currently precompiling without any problem our sources against Oracle 7, 8, 9, 10.
    With Oracle 11g, it doesn't work !
    every EXEC SQL followed by a command works.
    every EXEC SQL followed by a query generates the same error.
    Example :
    char *oracle_date_courante()
         static char buf[SIZE_ORADATE+1];
         EXEC SQL SELECT sysdate into :buf from DUAL;
         if(ORA_SQLERROR())
              oracle_error("sélection date courante");
              buf[0]=0;
         return buf;
    PRO*C output :
    Erreur Ó la ligne 105, colonne 2 dans le fichier src\oracle.pc
    EXEC SQL
    .1
    PLS-S-00000, SQL Statement ignored
    erreur sÚmantique Ó la ligne 105, colonne 2, fichier src\oracle.pc:
    EXEC SQL
    .1
    PCC-S-02346, PL/SQL a trouvÚ des erreurs sÚmantiques
    So, we investigated... And found that thoses errors come when we use the option sqlcheck=semantics.
    If we use an inferiour check level, it works but because we use PL/SQL keywords, pro*c prints errors and wants us to provide the 'semantics' sqlcheck level !
    So, it's a vicious circle !
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks...
    Vincent

    Adding the option common_parser=yes removes the errors !
    But brings errors linked to the PL/SQL parser such like
    CSF-S-00000, ORA-06544: PL/SQL : erreur interne, arguments : [55916], [], [], []
    1>, [], [], [], []
    1>ORA-06553: PLS-801: erreur interne [55916]
    Really vicious..and still not precompiling !
    By the way : Server is 10.2.0.1... and i guess thoses errors are normal since the common parser is not available in this version...
    So bye bye option common_parser and i'm back to my orignals errors.

  • BUG for sort column with Oracle 11g and APEX 3.2

    I have BUG in Report region(Oracle 11g and APEX 3.2). if i have more than 746 Char for my column's value and i want to sort them, this error appear
    Report error :
    ORA-00910: specified length too long for its datatype.
    But in an other environement in Oracle 10g and apex 3.2, with the same data. I have no BUG.
    Somebody have an idea for a possible solution to this problem???

    Again, I may just be wasting your time...but if I have XDB problems...especially with the password, I do the following:
    1. Change your working directory to $ORACLE_HOME/apex.
    2. Start SQL*Plus and connect to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed as SYS.
    3. Run apxconf.sql
    > @apxconf
    4. When prompted, enter a password for the Oracle Application Express Admin account.
    5. When prompted, enter the port for the Oracle XML DB HTTP server. (default port being, of course,8080).
    6. Unlock the ANONYMOUS account
    > ALTER USER ANONYMOUS ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
    7. If needed, I do the SETHTTPPORT command mentioned before...
    Since I'm using the Oracle 11g, with embedded PL/SQL server, I have no idea if this is the same for 10g us OHS?
    Hope that helps!

    for development, you need to install Oracle Developer
    Suite 10g. This includes Forms and Reports.this topic interests me too, because I've downloaded Developer Suite and Database (both for 10g) from Oracle website, installed them, but I couldn't connect to a database.
    What should be done for me to create a database link and be able to connect locally, in my personal Desktop computer? (Not to a server)
    Once it was told me here that I should download 10g Database - I did it, and installed it, but it didn't work. Later, some of my job partners said I should install them in a sequence - that is, 1st the Developer, and 2nd the Database. But it has failed too. And I don't know how to configure a database connection.

    FYI. You do not need to install both 11g and 12c to deploy Unifier. For testing purposes i was able to deploy unifer on 11g weblogic server by creating a domain and deploying it. It seem that 12c is only needed if you have multiple server applications

  • Running Oracle XE and Oracle enterprise on same windows machine

    Hi,
    I never had to try anything similar to this on windows. I need to continue to run Oracle Enterprise edition and Oracle XE on my windows machine.
    I can install both, but when I try to run the Listener for XE Edition, it starts the listener for the enterprise edition.
    Also the DB Homepage doesnt work, which leads me to believe that it might be using some fo the enterprise files, not the XE files.
    I cant access the XE forum, because I cant register, so sorry for posting this here. I cant seem to find a place that mentions or explains how you can run both on a Windows box.
    I have run multiple oracle versions on Unix, just never on windows...

    On the windows case, the order of evaluation is taken from the PATH environment variable. This same rule applies when you have several Oracle products installed on the same box, ensure you are launching a tool that makes sense with its home, i.e. launching netca to configure a tnsentry at the XE home will not work since XE doesn't have a netca tool and the tnsora file it will be modifying will be that of the oracle home it is related to. On the other hand, when lauching sqlplus it would not be too dangerous since any compatible version of sqlplus will work.
    There are issues with the listener, Oracle XE requires to be registered against the listener, additionally it will create an OraDAV access (http protocol) to open the access to the Web Administration Console. If you are planning to use web/plsql application this is also important. It can work with the other listener, but depending on your particular conditions you may want to start an independent listener for XE.
