Oracle 8.1.5 and Windows XP

I can install Oracle 8.1.5 fine under windows XP. The problem
begins after I create a new database. Once it's created I can
log in through SQL/PLUS. However once I reboot the PC or use it
the next day, the windows OS fails to start the database.
Even if I try to manually start the database, it fails!
If I try to login I get the Oracle not available error?
Any ideas or suggestions please?

I was doing the same thing as you...just trying stuff out. Let the O[whatever] objects go out of scope before you call OShutdown. OShutdown is trying to delete memory allocated by the ODatabase & ODyanset..etc objects...but if they are still in scope, you will get access violation...
ON_CREATE:
OStartup();
OConnection...
//whatever else...
break;
ON_DESTROY:
OShutdown();
PostQuitMessage();
//...etc.
break;

Oracle CRS across linux and windows

I am interested in finding out if anyone has tried installing CRS across linux and windows - it should be possible (at least theoretically!), by running the crssetup.exe or the shell scripts to clone / add node etc.
This is just for testing (having an idle and a very powerful Windows box idle) - would be great if this windows box could be added to the linux RAC cluster.
Does anyone have the command line syntax of all the commands that need to be executed (without using a GUI such as addNode.sh)?
One drastic way seems to be to install on linux first (copy the voting and registry disks using dd, dd over /dev/zero file), install on windows again and then "fix" the linux one by re-registering etc. - appreciate any ideas on this!

Murali is correct - this is something to do with the format of the voting and registry. I was able to get as far as adding the nodes and olsnodes shows up on both linux and windows - but either cannot get ocssd to start up. Anyway this was just a exercise to see if CRS really cannot work or if it is just a soft requirement.
For reference though, this is what I did:
Use the excellent document on cloning at:
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/em.102/b16227/oui7_cloning.htm
1. record a response file and get the details of the options to pass to setup/runInstaller (-record -destinationFile fullPathtoResponsefile)
2. use perl clone/bin/clone.pl
3. run setup.exe using a command such as the one below:
.\setup.exe -noConfig -clone -waitForCompletion "ORACLE_HOME=c:\oracle\crs10.2"
"ORACLE_HOME_NAME=crs10" "n_storageTypeVDSK=2" "n_storageTypeOCR=2" "sl_OHPartitionsAndSpace_valueFromDlg={6,1,1012,0,N/A,1,7,1,1012,0,N/A,2}
" "sl_tableList={verdani:verdani-priv:verdani-vip,mentor:mentor-priv:mentor-vip}
" "s_ocrpartitionlocation=\\.\ocrcfg" "s_votingdisklocation=\\.\votedsk1" "PERFO
RM_PARTITION_TASKS=FALSE" -silent -noconfig "s_clustername=crs10" "s_OcrVdskMirr
or1RetVal=NO_VAL" "s_ocrMirrorLocation=NO_VAL" "s_VdskMirror2RetVal=NO_VAL"
** Make sure that the disk#s are correct! (check in disk management)
Use GUIOracleOBJManager.exe in crsHome/bin to add the links to the raw devices (logical drives on extended partitions in windows)
4. For linux use a command similar to the following:
perl clone.pl ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/crs10.2 ORACLE_HOME_NAME=crs10 '-O
n_storageTypeVDSK=2' '-On_storageTypeOCR=2' '-O"sl_tableList={verdani:verdani-pr
iv:verdani-vip,mentor:mentor-priv:mentor-vip,arisia:arisia-priv:arisia-vip}"' '-
O-noConfig''-O"INVENTORY_LOCATION=/opt/oracle/oraInventory"' '-OPERFORM_PARTITIO
N_TASKS=FALSE' '-O"s_ocrpartitionlocation=/dev/raw/ocrregistry"' '-O"s_votingdis
klocation=/dev/raw/ocrvotingdisk"'
5. after setup finishes on windows, follow the instructions in cfgToolLogs/configToolAllCommands - that runs crssetup.exe on windows to add the nodes.
6. Add the linux nodes directly using clscfg on Windows

Oracle Data Access Components and Windows XP Professional x64

To start I'm running Windows XP Professional x64, using IIS 6, and Visual Studio 2005. I have a web service project that uses ODAC 11g, which runs just fine when I run it in debugging mode. However when I publish the project and try to access it through IE, I get an application error saying that Oracle.Web or one of its dependencies could not be loaded. Now I suspect that this might be happening becuase I'm running on a 64-bit machine, but I'm not convinced. The web service worked just fine on a 32 bit windows running IIS 5. If anyone could shed some light on this that would be awesome. Thanks!

Oracle 10gR2, Transactional XA, and Windows 2003

Hi all,
Apparently, there are two methods to enable Transactional XA when an Oracle 10g DB instance resides on a Windows 2003 machine.
One method uses the "Component Services" MMC, and the other is an Oracle SQL command "DESCRIBE JAVA_XA".
My question is...what's the difference? One is set for the OS and the other is only for the Oracle DB instance?

Hmmm...
Don't know what happened, but this suppose to appear in the Oracle forum "Database - General". Is it possible to move this thread to that forum? If not, I'll just repost over there. Thanks!

Oracle weirdness between Linux and Windows........Any ideas??

Hi,
I'm connecting to the same database which is on a linux server.....
This is the weirdness I'm getting...

DESC is not standard SQL. It is SQL*Plus specific.
Many tools may allow desc commands to describe the table structure - but not sure whether they act the same way.
Why don't you use DESC from SQL*Plus from both windows & linux and let us know the output?

Oracle 7.3.4 and Windows XP

Can anyone confirm that the Oracle 7.3.4 client works with Windows XP SP1?

I don't believe that 8.1.7 was ever certified on XP. I'm sure Oracle 7 wasn't-- that version hasn't been supported in a number of years.

Oracle 8.0.6 and Windows XP

I am a newbie trying to install Oracle client
on an XP computer. It runs trough the install
ok, but I can't run some of the programs,, i.e. Net8 Easy Config, Net8 Assistant. I get the Microsoft Xp error box Jrew.exe has encountered a problem ,send/don't send error report. Is this version compatible with XP?
Thanks.

No. Oracle is not supported on Win XP before 9.x except for a special client only install (not all components supported, special installer or work around for installer required) of 8.1.7.
Also you need Win XP Professional, not Win XP Home. Win XP Home and Win ME are not supported for any version of Oracle.

Oracle client 32/64 bit on Crystal Server 2013 and Windows Server 2012

I'm getting the error "Unknown Database Connector Error" when I run report on the server and it works OK on crystal designer 2013.
Been reading this thread 32&64 bit Oracle Client but not much help there.
Here are the details
System
Windows Server 2012
Crystal Server 2013 SP5
Crystal Server has been installed and appears to work fine. I was able to develop a brand new report locally and saved it to the server and it displays ok. Of course when I click on refresh on the report, it will error out due to database connection it looks like.
We have installed both oracle client drivers 64 and 32. 64 was installed first and then 32.The path has been modified so that the 32 shows up first.
I even ensure oracle_home and oracle_home32 are specified and restarted the server. I still get the same error.
The tns entries are also located in both installs of oracle client...
What might be the issue?

You said, "...+I would like to install Release 2(11.1.1.2.0)+ ...". Be careful. 11.1.1.2.0 is not Release 2. The version for Rel 2 is 11.1.2.0, notice that there is one less "1". Also, there is no way to patch from Release 1 to Release 2.
In EDelivery, this is what you should find if you search on "Oracle Fusion Middleware" for "Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)":
First look for this link then drill into it:
Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Media Pack for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)
In this section you will find the following:

Oracle Application server Forms and Report services 10.1.2.0.2 on Windows 2

Hi,
I am installing the Oracle Application server Forms and Report services 10.1.2.0.2 on Windows 2003 R2, but the problem is that setup is not running on this Windows 2003 R2 version.
Any idea about this why it is not running.
Regards,
Iftikhar

You asked this
How can i find what is the latest version that i can upgrade this install to
I told you where to find the last update, I checked that version yesterday, the last update is 10.1.2.3, my misstake was to put a 0 before the 3.
You can go to Patches & update>Quick Links to: Latest Patchsets, Mini Packs and Maintenance Packs>Oracle Fussion Middle Ware> Look for you OS versión and CPU> No clic just put pointer over the links and you will see the last one.
And finaly could look for the CPU of Jul and Apr that as requirement they ask for version 10.1.2.3 (as I say I checked yesterday)
Greetings.

External table in Oracle 10g and Windows server 2003 problem

I'm having a problem accessing an external table in an Oracle 10g and Windows 2003 server environment. The disk is remote (mapped) to the server. It's the usual access errors, kup-04001 or kup-04063.
I have the [seemingly] exact same setup in an Oracle 9i and Windows 2000 server environment which works perfectly. Services run as local SYSTEM and SYSTEM has full permissions on the disk. Directories exist and so do the permissions to the directories.
In the Oracle 10g and Windows 2003 environment, services run as local SYSTEM and SYSTEM has full permissions on the mapped disk. Directories exist and so do the permissions to the directories.
This obviously effects mappings, deployments, etc.
Does anyone know if something changed in either the db or the os?
Thank you,
Michael

Thank you for your reply.
Your proposal is the standard solution. As a matter of fact, that's how it is on my "old" system. Server "A" Oracle services are started by SYSTEM. Server "B" Oracle services are started by SYSTEM and is where the flat files reside. SYSTEM has full permissions on a disk local to Server "B". Database directoriies defined on Server "A" point to Server "B" remote disk. External Tables on Server "A" are defined with directories that point to Server "B" remote (mapped) disk. I have no problems with this configuration.
I'm having a problem acheiving the same configuration with Oracle 10g and Windows 2003. I guess I'm baffled over the fact it isn't working the same way as my "old" environment. Why shouldn't it? Oracle (and you) want me to start services as a specific user. It shouldn't have to be that way unless something changed in the way the database makes calls to the os or if Microsoft slipped something in with one of it's numerous security patches.

Oracle 8.06 and Windows XP Pro

Is there possibility to install Oracle Client 8.06 in Windows XP Professional?

Oracle 8.1.7 client is the first version supported on XP Pro. And, all components are not supported. Some require patches. 9.0.1 is the first version completely supported on XP.

Dial Up between Oracle on HP-Unix and Oracle on Windows 95

Hello Everybody
I have Oracle Enterprise edition 8.0.4 on HP-Unix and Personal
Oracle 8.0.3 on Windows 95. I want to establish connection
between these two databases through dial-up. I have already
established connectivity through lease line.
I can dial up through Windows machine but I am not able to dial
up through HP-9000 server. Please can anybody guide me. I will be
highly obliged.
Thanks in advance.

Noble,
This is not the best forum for this question.
Maybe the public news forums would be better,
or Oracle support if it is available to you.
My comments would be:
Oracle has the async v1 and v2 protocol for doing this,
but your best bet is to set up a tcp/ip ppp connection, as used
by 200 million internet users..
This may raise some security concerns, but dialling back to the
server trying to make the connection, as well as the normal
password protection gives some security comfort.
Information on how to do this should be widely available as it is
not Oracle or windows or hp specific.
You can then use a normal tcp/ip connection database link etc..

Oracle DB sessions on Linux and Windows

Actually I am confused the way session memory is allocated on 32 bit windows and linux OS.
Windows is a thread based architecture where all user sessions are treated as threads of oracle.exe process. The addressable space is 4GB and oracle.exe can use up to 3GB in case you use /3GB switch in boot.ini file. It means that combined size of SGA ,PGA and other memory structures can not be more than 3GB. When a session gets connected with a database a PGA is allocated. It means that memory required by database sessions also comes from the 3GB limit. If your memory usage goes beyond 3GB you wont be able to connect new sessions with database or you would require to reduce the size of one of your SGA components.
Linux is a process based architecture where each user session is treated as a separate process and has its own addressable space. Even on 32bit linux the addressable space is 4GB i.e. 2GB for process and 2GB for kernel. It means we need to accommodate our SGA and PGA in the 2GB limit (there are ways to increase the size of SGA but let assume we are doing nothing to raise the 2GB limit).
As PGA is allocated for every session when it connects with database.
My question is how PGA memory is allocated against a database session on linux.
To further clarify my question I am stating the results of an experiment that I did on linux and windows.
On windows I set the total size of SGA to 1730M and PGA aggregate target to 1024M. I was able to able to startup the database instance without any issue. Then I started connecting sessions with the database and even ran a query doing a heavy sort in one of the sessions but after connecting 10 sessions with DB I started getting ORA-12500 TNS Listener failed to start a dedicated server process error on windows.
Then I did the same experiment on Red Hat Linux. SGA size was 1633MB and where as PGA aggregate target was only 10MB. I was unable to start instance when I set the SGA size more than 1633MB.
With that setting I was able to connect more than 200 sessions with database inspite of running query doing heavy sort in 4 sessions without getting ORA-12500 error. I was even able to connect more than 400 sessions with database after setting PGA aggregate target to 1GB on Linux.
Now my confusion is why linux was able to handle more DB sessions. I know it’s a process base model and each session is a separate process and has its own addressable space but as PGA is allocated against every session and PGA memory comes from 2GB limit then why PGA memory did not exhaust on linux. Is PGA allocated differently on linux as compared to windows?

Perhaps the problem is easier to understand if you leave PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET out of this issue completely.
The out of memory problem you had, has nothing to do with PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET setting directly. The difference in number of processes comes from architectural differences in how Oracle uses memory in windows vs unix.
On windows the SGA + ALL PGAs must fit into one 4GB address space (in practice even smaller as youve noticed). This is because there's only one process, oracle.exe. One process = one address space.
On Unix, you have many processes and every process can use portion of their own address space for PGA.
So, on windows (32bit) you run out of address space for the single oracle.exe process. On unix you dont hit this limit just because the number of processes grows (but if some process wants to use a lot of PGA memory, then they eventually run out of address space (talking about 32bit again))
On unix you probably ran into another limit - amount of total usable virtual memory (RAM+swap) available in your system
