Oracle 8i Lite login question

I have installed Oracle 8i Lite on my notebook computer running Windows 98. When I tried to login to a SQl*Plus session (using all of the combinations of default usernames/passwords, I get the error message: "ORA-12203: TNS: Unable to connect to destination" Would appreciate any insights as to how to proceed further. Also--is it necessary to type something in the "Host String" field?

I have installed Oracle 8i Lite on my computer, which has Windows 98. But I have been unable to access the database after trying several combinations of usernames & passwords such as tiger/scott and system/manager, among others. I must be missing a step somewhere in this process. I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions. Try "SYSTEM/P".

Oracle 9i Lite Licensing Question

In my applictaion I plan to use only The local Oracle Lite Database. (Not the mobile server or sync or anything).
Do the same licensing rules apply or can this be included free of charge if they customers have their oracle server licenses?
BR
Tim

The installation media can be downloaded from the following link:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html
You will need to agree to the OTN license agreement before you download the software. The install media contains Personal, Standard or Enterprise. Each edition contains the SQL Worksheet.
If you install the database on your PC, the install will include the client tools to connect to the database so there is no need to do a separate client install on the same machine.

Oracle 8i Lite - OO4O and other Questions

1.) Can OO4O (Oracle Objects for OLE) be used with the Oracle 8i Lite database ?
2.) Does Oracle 8i Lite operate as a "client/server" database ?
3.) Is it possible to have multi-user access to Oracle 8i Lite ?
4.) Is there documentation somewhere that lists all of the limitations with 8i Lite as compared to 8i ?
We are in the planning stages of a partial mobile system, and want to know how much difference in development efforts for the 2 platforms (Oracle 8i on Win 2000 server and Oracle 8i Lite on NT/98/95 Laptops).
Any information on Oracle 8i Lite would be appreciated. -- Especially need an answer to question 1 right now.
Thanks,
Paula

Hi,
I am qouting below from the oracle 8i Lite documentation which says it supports triggers . Please clarify.
Oracle Lite DBMS
Oracle Lite DBMS is a lightweight (50KB - 750KB), Java enabled database designed from the ground up for laptops, handheld computers, PDAs and smartphones. It supports industry standard ODBC, JDBC, SQLJ, and Java Stored Procedures and Triggers. It provides a streaming fast "C" interface, OKAPI, to its object kernel. It also supports Java Access Classes, JAC, a fast and easy way to make Java Objects persistent. Oracle Lite DBMS now supports all popular mobile platforms, including Palm OS, EPOC, and Windows CE, letting you deploy enterprise applications on virtually any mobile device.

Oracle 10g Lite with ADF/BC4J Application(Offline access in Mobile )

Hi All,
We have the following requirement from one of our client.
Customer Company has R12 Apps instance(which is having 10g Database APPSDB). The users will come in the morning
and connect to the System(NEWSYSTEM) to download their daily worksheet(resides in APPSDB) to their Mobile Devices
(Windows XP - http://www.keenzo.com/zoom.asp?zoom=3830134) and then disconnect from the system. The download of data
should start after login into their Mobile Device Custom Application So that only their worksheet will be downloaded
to their Mobile Device DB.
Then they will goto their fields and review their daily worksheet in the Mobile Device application(NEW APPLICATION)
in offline mode. And update in the application with their findings, which should be stored in the Mobile Device database(MOBILEDB).
In the evening the uses will come and connect to the system(NEWSYSTEM) and login into their Mobile Application and
start the upload process, then the updated data from their Mobile Database will be uploaded into APPSDB via the NEWSYSTEM.
I checked the links, http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/lite/index.html and http://lite.us.oracle.com and I have
got some understanding about Oracle 10g Lite. For the above requirement we are proposing the NEWSYSTEM as Oracle 10g Lite Server
and the NEW APPLICATION as ADF/BC4J which can run in their Mobile Devices(work offline and then sync with DB).
I have the following questions.
1) The above proposing system is feasible?
2) Can we develop the Mobile Application using ADF/BC4J and using that we would like to
control the sync process from our custom application.(so that only their worksheet will come to their Mobile Device DB)
3) If I want to have the above system,
a) I should have Oracle 10g Lite server installed(im Unix or Windows)
b) I should have Oracle 10g Lite client installed in a Windows PC/Laptop
c) To get my custom application in My Mobile Device, first I have to deploy the application
in Oracle 10g server using Oracle Mobile Server. Then I have to connect my Mobile Device to the Oracle 10g Lite server,
and deploy the application in my Mobile Device using Oracle Mobile Manager.
4) I would like to do a POC before start the project.
What are all the installations I have to do in my Laptop.(Consider I am installing Oracle 10g Lite server/client, Mobile Manager in my Laptop)
I am new to Oracle 10g Lite, correct me if any of my understanding is wrong.
If you have any comments in the approach please add it.
Thanks in advance.
With Regards,
Kali.

1) The above proposing system is feasible?
perfecly feasible, and actually a reasonably standard use of oracle lite
2) Can we develop the Mobile Application using ADF/BC4J and using that we would like to
control the sync process from our custom application.(so that only their worksheet will come to their Mobile Device DB)
Actually two different questions here. The application code that runs on the client device can be written in any thing that will run on that type of device, and is capable of using the APIs to connect to the local database, and the other functionality like synchronisation. From the forum there look to be VB, C, java users out there (an i even believe if you wanted to, you could use forms). Main decision regarding the Platform for the application code development tends to be whatever you have the skills in.
In terms of the sync process only downloading a particular users worksheet, this would be defined when you define the snapshots of the database tables you want to download, rather than the sync login process itself.
For example - you have a table WORKSHEETS on the server that you want to download, it has a column EMP_NO which is the employee identifier. You would define the selection for the snapshot as
select * from WORKSHEETS where EMP_NO=:emp_no (note the bind variable)
when you then add users to the oracle lite application (actually the database), then you will have a parameter called EMP_NO to define with the employee number for that particular user, and this will be used automatically as the bind variable in the download.
NOTE subsetting in this way does not need to be direct, for example things like
select * from TASKS where id in (select task_id from user_tasks where emp_no=:emp_no) is perfectly valid
NOTE when reading the forum and documentation, be careful of the word application. There are actually two different things to be developed, both normally called 'application'
Within oracle lite you create an application with publication items, scripts, sequences etc. and then subscribe your users to this application. The application in this context is actually the database and synchronisation management ONLY (you can include files and code for download)
The second application is your runtime code that has a user interface, functionality, processing and validation. This is written in some development platform, and accesses the database created above for select, insert, update etc.
3) If I want to have the above system,
a) I should have Oracle 10g Lite server installed(im Unix or Windows)
YES this goes on the app server and installs a repository schema MOBILEADMIN within your database
b) I should have Oracle 10g Lite client installed in a Windows PC/Laptop
YES - once the server is set up, this is downloaded and set up by accessing the <server url>/webtogo/setup
c) To get my custom application in My Mobile Device, first I have to deploy the application in Oracle 10g server using Oracle Mobile Server. Then I have to connect my Mobile Device to the Oracle 10g Lite server,
and deploy the application in my Mobile Device using Oracle Mobile Manager.
steps in outline are
1) install server
2) develop the oracle lite application (ie: database) and publish this to the mobile server (can use the development kit or java APIs for these two steps
3) add a user with the relevant subsetting parameters
4) set up oracle lite win32 client on the laptop from the server download
5) synchronise using the msync utility on the client to create the databases and odbc entries
6) develop your application code using the client database
7) during development, then changes to database structure would be via changes and re-publish of the oracle lite application, followed by a sync to update the client database
8) once all development is complete, the runtime application code can be bundled up into the oracle lite application if you want, and then the initial sync for live users will download the database and application code.
4) I would like to do a POC before start the project.
What are all the installations I have to do in my Laptop.(Consider I am installing Oracle 10g Lite server/client, Mobile Manager in my Laptop)
You can set up a standalone server on the laptop, but better to do this on a development app server so you can use the main server development database as the data souce for the snapshot definitions (pretty easy install). there are conflicts if you try and put the oracle lite client and the mobile development kit on the same machine, but if you are familiar with java, the API development is fairly straightforward to use (i have developed applications in this, and i know only the basics of java) you do not need the MDK
Basic for a POC i would say is to
1) set up mobile server on development
2) define a simple oracle ite application on two server tables. one has select * from table, and the other has select * from table where .... including bind variable. at this stage use complete refresh as the mode for simplicity
3) publish the application, create user and define the subsetting variable
4) set up mobile client and synchronise user. use the msql utility to interrogate the database and check the content, and do some updates 9standards SQL syntax)
5) create simple appliaction code to conect to and read the database on the client
6) do a sync after the updates above and check they appear in the server
The above should be reasonably quick and proves
a) ability to define the data you want to be sent to the users
b) ability to create an app to manage the database running on the client device in you preferred software platform
c) data download and upload
after this basic POC, you can extend into defining fast refreshes to improve the efficiency of the sync process, managing the MGP process, developing a more comprehensive database and application etc. If you have complex joins between server table, you may also want to look at creating views to denormalise data and use these as the basis for the snapshots

XML and Oracle 8i Lite

Hi Wizards
I'm in an endeavour to do the following things -
1.Generate XML output from Oracle 8i Lite database
2.Modify the XML and update the database taking the modified XML.
My java platform is JDK 1.2. I've used the XML SQL Utility for Java, and in doing so i've been successful with the 1st step. I've used the Oracle 8.1.6SDK JDBC Driver which is compatible with JDK 2.The code fragment is like the following -
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.math.*;
import oracle.xml.sql.query.*;
import oracle.jdbc.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
public class orasql1
public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException
Connection conn = null;
String tabName = "emp";
try {
Class.forName("oracle.lite.poljdbc.POLJDBCDriver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:Polite:POlite", "SYSTEM", "manager");
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Oracle Connection error\t:");
System.out.println(e);
System.exit(0);
OracleXMLQuery qry = new OracleXMLQuery(conn, "select * from " + tabName);
qry.setRowsetTag("SCHEMADOC_1");
qry.setRowTag("EMPLOYEE");
qry.setStyleSheet("emp.xsl");
String xmlString = qry.getXMLString(true);
conn.close();
try {
File output = new File("emp.xml");
FileWriter xmlFile = new FileWriter(output);
xmlFile.write(xmlString,0,xmlString.length());
xmlFile.close();
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Output file error\t:");
System.out.println(e);
System.exit(0);
I am putting some sample code for step 2 in the following section -
import oracle.xml.sql.dml.*;
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
import oracle.jdbc.*;
import java.net.*;
public class orasql2
public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException
Connection conn = null;
String tabName = "emp";
String fileName = "emp.xml";
try {
Class.forName("oracle.lite.poljdbc.POLJDBCDriver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:Polite:POlite", "SYSTEM", "manager");
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("An error has occurred.");
System.out.println("Please check your CLASSPATH variable..");
System.out.println(e);
System.exit(0);
OracleXMLSave save = new OracleXMLSave(conn, tabName);
URL url = save.createURL(fileName);
save.setRowTag("SCHEMADOC_1");
int rowCount = save.insertXML(url);
System.out.println("Successfully inserted "+rowCount+" rows into "+tabName);
conn.close();
Compiling the above code is fine, no errors! But while running the application I get the error -
Exception in thread "main" oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: java.lang.Class
CastException: oracle.lite.poljdbc.OracleStatement
at oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave.insertXML(OracleXMLSave.java:345)
at oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave.insertXML(OracleXMLSave.java:248)
at orasql2.main(orasql2.java:27)
My question is whether this thing can be done at all using Oracle 8i Lite? If so then how?
Waiting for ur advices.

It looks like be a classpath issue. Would you check with the class name.

PL/SQL and Forms executable in Oracle 8i Lite ?

I've got 2 basic and important questions:
1.) Is it possible to store procedures with PL/SQL in a Oracle 8i Lite Database(Operating System Windows 2000)
2.) Are the normal Forms 6i - Applications executable on a Oracle 8i Lite Database.
(Operating System Windows 2000)
Regards
Steffen

Regardless of which path you want to take, in order to get the OCP certification in either the DBA or PL/SQL developer track, you must first obtain the respective OCA certification for that track. I'm assuming that since you are still undecided in which path to take that you haven't started working on either yet. If you look at the pages for the OCA DBA and OCA PL/SQL Developer certs and what is required for each, you'll see that the first block of tests for either certification (the SQL based exams) has the same options (1Z0-007, 1Z0-047, 1Z0-051) and passing one of those SQL based exams gives credit towards obtaining both OCA certifications. That might be a good place to start.
Doing one of these tests first might give you some extra time to decide which track you want to pursue. But as Justin said, it really depends on what you do (or plan on doing) in your career as to which path might be more beneficial for you.
As for the OCM level stuff, I wouldn't even think about it until you get the OCP. One step at a time... Same with OCP before OCA. That being said, my suggestions are just that, suggestions. You're free to take any exams/courses in any order, but you won't be able to obtain the certs until you have completed the requirements for each.

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

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Mulyadi Kurniawan ([email protected]):
Host string usually refers to the host string that is stored in your TNSNAMES.ORA file. You can open TNSNAMES.ORA with a text editor.
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>
hi,
iam getting the same error(the TNS thing)can you be a bit more explaining regarding how to solve the problem.

Oracle 8i Lite and Palm, Windows CE and EPOC

This may be a simple question to developers (which I am not), but we have a client who is seeking advice regarding the use of Palm Pilots, Psion or similar devices for field recording of data.
Their database is Oracle 7.3.4 (soon to be upgraded to 8) with development done in Forms 5. I understand that Oracle 8i Lite enables a database of this vintage to be used in conjunction with the handhelds, but I do not understand the process.
Is Oracle 8i Lite loaded onto the handheld? Or is it used to convert the required tables and forms into cut down versions for the limited use by the smaller device?
What is the role of the host PC for the smaller devices?
I guess - how does it work in layman's terms.
I hope someone can help.
Thanks.

We haven't tried 8i Lite on a palmtop. But we are trying to use it over the Internet and we are having some problems. Have you used 8i Lite over the Internet?!?
Thanks..

Oracle 8i Lite problems

Hello,
I just installed Oracle 8i Lite on Windows XP Professional. I have some trouble with local databases, connecting to them, defining TNS, and Listeners.
Ok question is realy simple, how to i connect to Local database i create myself, and how to i access it trough SQL Plus?
When i create my local database called "test" i define TNS and listeners as stated in manual. When i try to connect trough Navigator, it simply works sometimes, but sometimes it just freezes. I cant test it trough TNSPING because all the time i get error TNS:No Listener.
I hope my questions are clearly understandable
Thanks in advanced for any help provided

Thank you for your quick answer :) i helped me alot, but i got another problem again. I cant import anything into my test DB.
I have eported the whole DB from Oracle 8i with exp80 tool, but when i try to import it i get a lot of errors saying Table not found, Viev not found, Operating system error, Oracle error 942, etc etc. Any suggestions here?
Thanks in advnaced

Oracle 8i Lite install

I have a question..
I'm trying to find info on how to install and configure this. I have a copy of both that and of JDeveloper, and am trying to install it but once installed, I can't connect, likely due to configuration problems.
Is there anything preventing Oracle 8i Lite from running on XP? Can I run both it and JDeveloper on the box?
I get either a Listener error message or incorrect password message. I haven't seen anything (ever) where to set the user/pwd configuration, and didn't think that was done within the TNSNAMES.ORA file, but If I'm wrong please correct me.
I also can't find anything on the site regarding Oracle 8i Lite. Seems like they've taken every reference off.
Would I be better off downloading and installing that OracleXE 10 express version?
I'm basically a Java developer trying to develop some small apps at home or preliminary apps that I would later redo at work, where I work with Oracle 9i each day.
Please provide any suggestions if you can!
Thanks

Hi.
I don't have all the answers you're waiting for, but these metalink notes might be of any value:
Oracle Lite:Overview of the Differences between Oracle Server and Oracle Lite
Note:94484.1
Oracle Created Database Users: Password, Usage and Files References
Note:160861.1
10g asks you to provide password at database creation time.
I get either a Listener error message or incorrect

where to set the user/pwd configuration, and didn't
think that was done within the TNSNAMES.ORA file, but
If I'm wrong please correct me.
1. Does not listen for Sql*net connection: Oracle Lite is designed for a
single user so there is no listener nor Sql*net for client connection.
Olite only accepts local odbc connection.
I also can't find anything on the site regarding
Oracle 8i Lite. Seems like they've taken every

Would I be better off downloading and installing that

IMHO, last two questions are good reasons to use recent DB releases.
where I work with Oracle 9i each day.
Another good reason.

Installing Oracle 9i Lite on Pocket PC

Only a couple of the executables seem to work right after I run the install. I keep getting errors about picking the application that will run them. Anyone else get this running? If someone has a better install and config doc than is in the Oracle doc, that would be even better. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I have not yet installed Oracle 9i Lite on a Pocket PC. I also ran into some issues with the product.
You may want to contact Oracle Corporation directly at [email protected] for detailed questions regarding Oracle9i Lite.
Good Luck.

Oracle 9i Lite/Sql Plus Installation Instructions?

I am having the same problem with install Oracle 9i Lite. Really I need to get SQL PLUS up and running. I am installing it in Windows 98 and would like to use it on a stand alone pc/home pc.
I ended up just installing sql plus without net8 and other mobile server components because I don't know what the port name and hostname is. I am just trying to get sql plus to work.
After just installing sql plus, I get the same login username/password/host string. I think you can log in as SYSDBA or SYSOPER but what is the password and host string. I am not running sql plus from a server/internet I would like it to be stand alone. I know the host string has something to do with what type connection is being used but I don't have any (other than aol dial up connection) so I would just like to run sql on a stand alone pc!!! HELP!!
Dionne

Did your SQL*Plus install include create a database to connect to? I think a quick thing to check would be:
Do you have a valid tnsnames.ora in $ORACLE_HOME\network\admin
(address = is on one line)
ie:
orcl =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = orcl.localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl.localhost)
Where orcl is the name of the database you want to connect
to and local host is your machine. (Check Network configuration). If you are on a network you will replace with orcl.mynet.com
I think for a standalone SQL install they might expect you are on a NetWork and have a database to connect to. Maybe
you should download the whole install for standalone use...
9i and 8.1.7 are available for download. (8.1.7 is a little smaller and doesn't require as much memory depending on your home system)
I'm not even sure what you are trying to do. Please post more details if this doesn't help.
