Oracle 6i-windows me help

I am at home, and I don't know if I can connect to the Oracle Server through windows ME for Oracle 6i. Is there any way to connect to a server with Oracle 6i using windows ME? My only goal is to just practice my skills on this program, so if there's any way to do that through ME, please let me know. Thanks alot.

you need to install sql*Net on your client machine and configure it to connect to your database. You can also download the personal version of the Oracle Database and install it on your PC.

  • Installation Problem Developer 6i/Oracle 8/Windows NT4 Please help.

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Oracle Developer 6i and Oracle 8
    under Windows NT platform. I had several kind of problem. Atlast
    I found the installation tips very help and followed it step by
    step. Still I am facing the problem. Let me explain what i did,
    step by step,
    1.downloaded the Oracle forms self extract file. Unzipped. Ran
    the Setup.exe.
    2.This prepared for Oracle Developer installation. I selected
    default path and home(d:\ORANT and home_Default). Selected
    oracle forms and installed it.
    3.Repeated step 2 to install reports 6i.
    4.Restarted the system.
    5.Created another directory d:\orantnew
    6.Used the Oracle 8 CD and installed using the Autorun.Selected
    different path and oracle Home this time.(D:\orantnew and
    home_New).
    7. Selected the Oracle Enterprise Edition option and did the
    installation.Rebooted the system.
    8. Did the TCP/IP changes explained in the Step (5) and Step (6)
    given below in Mr.Krishna's reply.
    9. Tried to start the listner by following Step (7) the listener
    won't start.
    10. Went ahead and copied the TNSNAMES.
    Connected to SQL*Plus using Start/Program/Oracle-OracntNew using
    SCOTT/TIGER and connect went thru.
    Then tried "CONNECT" from form builder, won't connect. I think
    the error message was some thing related to TNS..(Since I have
    uninstalled all the Oracle components now i can't give the exact
    error.Sorry). I would like to know if there is anything I am
    doing wrong or missing out something.
    Note : While uninstalling the oracle components i had problem
    removing the bin directory. So I had to stop some of the
    services
    (OracleServiceORC1 and OracleStartORC1 from
    start/controlpanel/services option) in order to delete the
    oracle components.
    Please someone let me know how can I install Oracle 8 and Oracle
    Developer 6i,in windows NT platform.
    Incase if i am doing anything wrong in the above given step or
    missing out something pl let me know.
    Thanks.

    Hi, >Try these steps, but you need to change a few things for Win2000 even I am trying, but Listener does'nt start there is a
    problem I am looking into it, If you find the solution pl let me
    know, these work fine on Win95/98 I have tried and they all work
    fine.>-------------------------------------------->Installing
    Personal Oracle 8. 1. 6. 0. 0 with Developer v6i (Reports 6. 0.

    combinations may or may not work.> If you want to install
    designer as well, do it now.
    ** Clean all Oracles off the computer using the following instructions. (Windows 95 and

    1. In regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE.
    2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
    3. Delete the ORACLE key.
    4. Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC pertaining to Oracle.
    5. Delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ODBC pertaining to Oracle.
    6. Edit your AUTOEXE.BAT file and remove your %ORACLE_HOME%\bin and JRE paths from the path settings.
    7. From the Windows Explorer (or from the command prompt), delete the Oracle Directory
    (Oracle Base).
    8. Delete < System_Drive > C:\Program Files\Oracle (from the Windows NT Explorer or from the command

    9. Delete Icons from < System_Drive> C:\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\Oracle - <HOME> and <System_Drive>
    C:\Windows\StartMenu\Oracle Installation Products. Where<HOME>
    is the previous HOME name.
    10. Reboot the system.
    Installing Developer 6i(Forms and Reports)
    1. Download the file from OTN site or Install from the CD. Install the installer. It will go
    into a new default Oracle home that it will create. When you go
    to install your Developer CD, close the installer that comes up
    with the CD autorun. Go to the programs menu and Oracle for
    Windows 95 and click on the installer there. Once it is open,
    browse to the CD you wish to install. (installr/install/us)
    2. Start installer. Install Developer 6i first to default directory, Orawin95 How? Start installer, follow the prompts
    that appear on the screen, you may have to do this twice, once
    for Oracle Forms and once for Oracle Reports, after the
    installation is successful reboot the system.
    3. If you want to install Designer 6 as well, do it now. (But I have not installed
    the Designer ) Designer has to be installed before PO 8. 1. 6,
    because PO816 can detect only one Oracle_home.
    4. Create a new folder on your root directory called Orawin98. Start the installer set-up from where you downloaded it and
    select Orawin98 to install it in this time. You also need to
    give this second home a name whatever you want, but through out
    the process, you have to use the identical name, that is
    critical. Orawin98 indicates this name in these instructions. Do
    not reboot. Install Oracle 8.1.6 to the directory Orawin98 using
    the installer. Reboot the system.
    5. Go to Start/Setting/Control Panel/Network, if you do not have TCP/IP installed, install it
    now, if you do, highlight TCP/IP, click properties. Select DNS
    tab, select enable DNS, at the host area, type "Orawin98", leave
    domain empty. Go to Identification Tab and enter your database
    name, in this case BBM. Reboot the system after you finish.
    6. Configure your database listener. Go to Start/Programs/Oracle- Orawin98/Network Admistration/Net8
    Assistant, a window will pop
    up, at the window expand Local and expand Listeners and double
    click it, you will see a new window, go through all the tab
    menus. At location address 1, Host name: use "Orawin98", Port
    use: 1521 (default). And at location address 2, Host name:
    use "Orawin98", Port use: 2481, go to the file/ save, close Net8
    Assistant.
    7. Start listener how? Go to Dos Window, type LSNRCTL, return, at LSNRCTL>, type Start. Listener should start
    successfully, if not, you need to go back to Net8 Assistant to
    check configuration.
    8. Copy file "TNSNAMES" in directory C:\Orawin98\Net80\Admin to C:\oraein95\Net80\Admin.
    9. You are finished.
    10. To connect Forms/Reports/SQLPLUS to database - First start the
    Listener, then start the database. Next, go to File menu in
    Forms/Reports and select Connect. Type in user name and password
    (system/manager or whatever) in this case it is SCOTT/TIGER and
    the database name is your "DATABASENAME". When you want to quit
    you need to exit from file menu of Forms/Reports, then you need
    to stop Listener and then shut down database.
    11. You can rename your computer name in your original name. (for local networks)
    Let me know if it is working.>null

    Install Forms in one directory (You can have reports in the same
    directory).
    Install oracle DB in another directory.
    Don't change any file and reboot.
    The listener will start automatically as a service.
    (If not from a command line write "lsnrctl start" to start it).
    To connect from forms/report to the DB you need to activate the
    sqlnet easy config tool from the directory where forms is.
    Follow the wizard to define an entry in the tnsnames.ora file
    automatically.
    Then you can use your forms with the DB.
    (IF you get problems it usually helps to let us know the error
    code you get so we can direct you in the correct direction).

    hello forum it seems as if i have miss understood something about installing C:\AS10gNT_Disk1,2,3.
    1: i have unziped all the 3 zip files in there respectivelly folders.
    for examples.C:\AS10gNT_Disk1\Disk1.
    i have oracle 9is db installed on my pc,
    so in a previous maill somebody adviced me, plus the installation errors showed me that i could't installed it in C:\oracle\ora92 witch is where I have oracle9is db installed.
    Then I was told that I could just give any new oracle_home and path.
    but this is not working for me.
    when I run oracle universal installation.
    destination.Then
    Enter or select an oracle home name and its full path.
    as i have to enter a different name from my previous one where oracle9isdb is installed,
    then I write
    name oracleServer,
    path c:\oracleServer when i do that i get the following errors.
    There was a problem in accesing the staging area.

    Hi,
    actually I can only tell how it worked for me. I unzipped all zips into teh same directory and ended up with
    d:\stage\disk1
    d:\stage\disk2
    d:\stage\disk3
    Then I started the installer from disk 1 and follwoed all teh instructions. I did specify an Oracle Home as OracleAsInfra for the infrastructure to be in d:\OracleAsInfra and similar for teh Midtier OracleAsMidtier to be in d:\OracleAsMidtier
    The rest ran smoothly

  • Connect to Oracle Discoverer window does not appear

    Hi,
    The Web based Oracle Discoverer 4i does not work properly on my system. I first connect my Microsoft IE to the URL. One the URL there is magnifier icon. Under this icon there is a lable of "Click the image above to start".
    I click this icon and another window pup up. The top left corner of this window shows "Oracle Discoverer" title. Under this title bar are the menu items. The menu items are File,Edit,Sheet,tools, Graph & Help from left to right. The bottom left corner shows "Loading...". But the "Connect to Oracle Discoverer" window never pups up.
    If I connect my browser to another URL I can get "Connect to Oracle Discoverer " window displayed and log into database.
    What is wrong with my first server?
    Thanks for help.
    Wallace

    I'm only guessing, but I've had similar problems in a few cases with the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine. Try getting Discoverer to run with a different JVM, like Oracle Jinitiator.

  • Maximize the oracle forms window in internet explorer

    hi to all,
    how can maximize the oracle forms window in internet explorer? my current display setting is 1280x1024. im using forms 10g r1
    pls. i need your help.

    It's probably important to know that although you can command the forms_mdi window to maximize, it won't actually "maximize". It will remain in the "normal"state. This is a current limiation that can likely only be overcome with a custom java bean.

    Hi there,
    I have a basic Forms Question. I am looking at the ability to resize the window for an Oracle Form. I understand that this requires modification to the Java code(in the JAR files).

Users are using 27 inches monitors, they would like to resize the Oracle Applications Window just as they can other windows, but some setting within the JAR files is causing the Oracle Window to be full size. So how can I let the users resize the Oracle Window.
    Please advise.To resize your application window you have to set the windows property of your application.
    Resize Allowed=YesIf you want to resize the root window at want to set in a custom position,set the width and height as you need. Like
    Width=800
    height =600Hope this will help you

  • Why are iTunes, View, Window, and Help menu items disabled?

    I am frequently encountering an issue in iTunes 10.5 (141) where all the menu items in the iTunes, View, Window, and Help menus are disabled (greyed out). Why is this happening and can it be stopped?
    I've seen this issue on different Mac OS X 10.7.2 machines. It seems to occur during playlist manipulation, where I'm making new playlists, adding items to them and editing them and the items. In the worst cases, I'm forced to quit and restart iTunes, although I have to quit by using the context menu option in the Dock as the Quit option is disabled in the application.
    I'd appreciate any advice on workarounds for this that don't involve quitting and restarting iTunes.

    I'm also having the same issue.  It was happening with 10.5.1 and now still with 10.5.2.  I'm using a 2008 iMac running 10.6.8.  I do not use iTunes Match.  This seems to happen for no apparent reason i/o/w, I can't determine a pattern as to when it happens, but it occurs about once in every 10 times that iTunes is open and it seems to happen after it's been open for a while, but again, no particular pattern. 
    Sometimes, all the menu items are grayed out, and other times, 70% of the menu items are grayed out.  I can still use the other functionality in iTunes, but must must Quit from the dock (it quits gracefully and no Force Quit is necessary).  Relaunching restores eveything to normal for about a week. 
    I work with technical diagnostic issues and can usually pinpoint a problem, isolate an issue, or determine a pattern, but this one has me stumped. I thought 10.5.2 might fix it, but no.  Maybe 10.5.3?
