Oracle 8i Lite: logging to sql plus - uid, password, host string - whats that

If i install "Oracle 8i Lite" (just locally, not networked). There are two important things : "Navigator", and "SQL Plus". If in navigator, I create a local database called "xxx" (tables under 'system' user). Then if i need to query - i go to SQL Plus. Fine, but how do we log in - what is the "host string" ?.
The login needs, Userid, Password, Host String. In some docs, it said the userid, password for 'system' account is 'system, manager' respectively. Anyways, now the host string , i had read the 'host string' will be like "@databasename", so I think for me, it will be "@xxx"
But the way, I'm understing, i cant log, and SQL Plus says something "TNS: could not resolve service name". Maybe i have to something with that tnsnames.ora file....?
Incase, you could give ANY information, kindly inform.
Thanks

If you get "TNS: could not resolve service name", it's either you have not start the database or your configuration in TNSNAMES.ORA is wrong.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Oracle 10g SQL plus username, password + Host string unkown

Hi Friends

Problem logging in sql plus

If you are running Personal Oracle, you do not need to give host
string to log in SQL Plus. However, database should be started
up first.
In order to run SQL Plus on a client workstation in client-
server environment, you should create a host string using Net
Easy Configuration. If you have created 'ORACLE' as the host
string, it is OK. You will also have to start a listener.

sorry I was trying to reply to a post I read and had this
happen. Please ignore this.

Logging onto SQL Plus

I am trying to log onto SQL Plus but I am getting this error.
ORA - 1256: TNS: Protocol adapter error
I am using
Scott as the username
tiger as password
placing nothing in the host string.
Help would be appreciated.

If you're still having problems, could you post the install steps you
followed (including version numbers), how you created the database,
the correct error number (12560?), and what steps you've used to try
and resolve the problem? Web search engines contain a lot of hits on
common TNS errors. Also, if you think this is a problem with installation,

1.2.6 oracle lite connecting using SQL*PLUS

host string ---- odbc:polite
But when i try to give this command
" set serveroutput on " i am getting a message "Server not available or version too low for this feature"
Can anybody help me to overcome this problem.
i am new to Oracle .
PLEASE EMAIL ME
THANK YOU

hi, I'd like to know if its
TNS 12560: protocol Adapter error
Make sure address uses the proper protocol specification in your connect descriptor.
if its that then U will have to verify that your database is registered with the Listener....
Also verify that your Oracle SID is set to the specific instance
You can do that by settin the environment variable;
c:\> set oracle_sid=<database_sid>
then try to connect after words.

Can I use username = system when I log into SQL plus?

I am new to Oracle and SQL plus and I have some questions to ask?
I managed to get SQLPlus working using sqlplus system/password
When I installed Oracle I created a database called ORCL and set a password. My question is when I am using SQL Plus is it OK
to use username= system. The problem is that I created 3 tables in this database but when I list the tables I get about 181 tables returned.
It seems that I have logged into the master database.
In fact I just used the password I set when I installed Oracle (not the @asi past)
from:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13212_01/wles/docs42/installadmin/database.html
Configuring an Oracle Policy Database
To configure an Oracle policy database, you must create the policy database, create a security role and a user, and grant the security role and user access.
To configure a policy database, perform the following steps:
Open a command window, run the Oracle SQLPlus utility, and login as user SYSTEM with the password you set for that user account when you installed the Oracle database software.
sqlplus system/password@asi
where: password is the password you set for the system account when you installed the database software and asi is the database instance name.
The name of the database I set up when I installed Oracle was ORCL.
I can set up a data source using WebLogic Server Administration Console using the following data:
Database name:             ORCL
Host name:                      localhost
Port:                                 1521
Database USer Name:   System
Password:                        the password I set when I installed Oracle
This is different form the book I am using where the writer used the database name XE as in the following:
Database name:             XE
Host name:                      localhost
Port:                                 1521
Database USer Name:   OE
Password:                        .......
Confirm Password:        .......
Anyways I managed to create some tables using SQL script. I assume these are in the ORCL database.
SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM USER_TABLES will list all the tables in the database.
Apparently there are a lot more tables in this database (181 tables) than I thought. I have only created 3 tables.
Article
Section
Edition
Is this how it should be?
Also I am trying to create another table Catalog but SQLPlus is not allowing me to do this!
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object
Next I create an EJB project using Eclipse (Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse).   Then
I add a JPA (Java Persistence API) project facet. In this I specify the following:
SID:                         ORCL
Host:                       localhost
Port Number:       1521
User name:            System
Password:               The password I set when I installed Oracle.
Here there is a GUI called Select tables which gives a list of tables I assume the same list of table
I had listed in DOS however there appears to be more tables here.
Anyways, I am just wondering am I on the correct path and would this Database I am using be the
ORCL database. Would all these tables be tables that are in the ORCL database?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Brian.

Connecting to 9i Lite DBMS via SQL*Plus?

Finally got the install to run successfully. However, I can't make an ODBC connection to the database with SQL*Plus. Any ideas (other than going back to 8i Lite)?

Have you created a User Data Source to your Oracle Lite database throught the Microsoft ODBC Administrator? If so, then through sql*plus- you should be able to test connectivity.
Goto a dos command window and type sqlplus system/manager@odbc:your_database_name;
Where your_database_name is the name of the OBDC Data Source name that you have created.
Hope this helps.

ORA-12541: TNS: no listener when attempting to log int SQL*Plus

Hi everyone,
Since we are now studying forms. I installed The Developer Suite on the same machine as the Oracle Database. I was able to use SQL*Plus and the Procedure Builder in Oracle Forms. I was able to connect to the Oracle 8i database with the Oracle 9i Developer. Then I started playing with forms and when I tried to run the form it told me that it could not find a listener. So, I made some changes on the Oracle Database and added a listener and gave it the 8888 port that it was looking for. That did not work so I change the properties on the forms to the port that the database listener had 1521 or at least that is what I believe it was. Now I cannot connect to Oracle SQL*PLus and I cannot connect from the forms to the database either. I have deleted the listeners and added them again. I have checked under services to make sure that it is started. Has anyone seen this before.
Thanks for any help.
Robert

The problem comes into play when you try to select the actual LOB locator remotely, however straight INSERTs aren't a problem.

ORA-12154 error when logging into SQL*Plus

I installed Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3.0) server on a Hyper-V virtual machine running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise as a standalone server. I did a software only install and then ran the Database Configuration Assistant to create a database. I also ran the Oracle Net Configuration Assistant to configure the Listener, Naming Methods, and Local Net Service Name. I ran the test in the Net Configuration Assistant and it was successful after I changed the login credentials to use the SYSTEM account and password. TNSPING of the net service name is successful. I can also successfully connect to the database via Enterprise Manager using the SYSTEM account and password. What I can NOT do is connect locally to the database via SQL*Plus (either through the gui or command line). I get the following error:
ERROR:
ORA-12154: TNS: Could not resolve the connect identifier specified
I've checked and double-checked the LISTENER.ORA, SQLNET.ORA, and TNSNAMES.ORA files. They all seem correct to me, especially since I used the configuration assistants to create them.
Anyone have an idea what might be wrong or what I can check next? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

They all seem correct to me, especially since I used the configuration assistants to create them. Garbage In, Garbage Out.
Since Oracle throws an error, I strongly suspect you are mistaken.
Simply put, you are using something like "@REMOTE" someplace & somehow and the error indicates SQL*Net does not know to what @REMOTE refers.
How many systems are involved, names, OS version, etc?
post connection string & post contents of tnsnames.ora file.

SQL*Plus username/password

**While leaving the host name blank, I've tried to use the following username/password combinations to no avail:
scott/tiger
system/manager
**I always receive this error message:
ORA-12560 TNS:protocol adapter error
**When I looked that error message up with a quick internet search, I came upon this information:
What causes this error?
This message indicates that there is a problem at the protocol adapter level. That is, SQL*Net and the Interchange are functioning correctly, but there is something wrong with the protocol adapter that underlies them.
How to fix it
Check addresses used for proper protocol specification. Before reporting this error, look at the error stack and check for lower level transport errors. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the operation. Turn off tracing when the operation is complete or you will use a lot of disk space. The trace file will have details of the problem.
You may get this error running Oracle 8.1.6 under Win2000 when you try to log in using 'svrmgrl'. You can normally connect using SQL*Plus or any other product, svrmgrl is going to be discontinued.
**I'm not terribly sure what the "how to fix it" intructions mean. I'd appreciate any help in trying to figure that out.

I downloaded the database and received the same error message. What do you mean by that? You cannot just download a database. You can download the Oracle server software, install it, and create a database.
Are you on a network with a database already installed somewhere on that network? In that case, ask the DBA to make your connection to that database.
can you tell me more about tools that support PL/SQL?PL/SQL is supported in the Oracle database, Forms, Reports, web pages can be created with it etc. You really need to have an idea what you want to do. Oracle is so complex, that you cannot just start somewhere.

Passing return code of SQL*PLUS 'exit' to host

Say, I am running a sql plus script from the MS windows command prompt, and I am EXITing this script with a return code, do you know how I can capture the return code in the host environment ?

Greetings,
If U use a Shell script to invoke the SQLPLUS then U could use '$?' to see the return code.
For Example,
sqlplus -s > <<EOF
connect USER_PSWD_DB
column num_rows new_value num_rows format 9999
select x num_rows from table_name;
EXIT num_rows
EOF
if [ $? == 2 ]; then
echo "Process failed..."
fi
