Oracle 8i Lite on NT Version Difficulty

HELP!
I just installed Oracle 8i Lite on NT. Install seemed to go OK.
But when I run SQL Plus and login, SQL Plus complains with the
message:
Server not available or version too low for this feature
It then connects the database. I can drop and create some
things (pupdb.sql runs but gives some sql syntax error messages)
If I do a simple sql select statement, I always get a syntax
error (e.g. select * from user; gives error POL-5228 - syntax
error).
Any ideas?
null

James,
I have the similar problem when I installed Oracle8 Lite on
Windows98. Then I figured out from some Oracle FAQ that
this error can be ignored. As for the syntax error, I was
getting the same. I checked the dictionary, most of the USER_xxx
tables are no longer avail. Only the USER_OBJECTS still exists.
Try the following, 'select * from All_users' or 'select * from
user_objects'.
Regards,
Barry

Oracle 8i Lite Version : 4.0

Hi,
Could anyone answer this for me, Please.
I have oracle 8i lite Version 4.0 installed on a Windows NT machine. I do a sqlplus pbs/pbs odbc:polite (using odbc) to connect to sqlplus. At this sametime .. I connect from a different machine (WINNT) to this same oracle 8i lite (Shared Directory) using ODBC. Now, If I do some updates on Machine A and Commit it ... why are the changes not visible in Machine B (sqlplus). I have to exit out and come back in Machine B to see the changes everytime. I have done odbinfo
-pagelog polite polite. (So that it doesn't create any .plg file and write Directly to ODB file). Please throw some light on this. Is Oracle lite not intended for this !?.
Thanks
Prabs

Try also adding the path to oljdbc40 the SLP and JLP settings in the jdeveloper.ini file.
The following is from the 3.1 Release Notes:
JDK 1.2/1.3 and Native Code
If you are using the Oracle JDBC/OCI or Oracle Lite JDBC Driver with JDeveloper (JDK 1.2/1.3) add the %ORACLE_HOME%/bin directory to java.library.path and
sun.boot.library.path in bin/jdeveloper.ini. It should look like this:
[Java_2]
JDK=java version "JDK1.2.2_JDeveloper"
Java2VM=OJVM
JLP=-Djava.library.path=.;%JAVA_ROOT%\bin;%JAVA_ROOT%\jre\bin;C:\ORANT\BIN
SLP=-Dsun.boot.library.path=.;%JAVA_ROOT%\bin;%JAVA_ROOT%\jre\bin;C:\ORANT\BIN
If you are executing applications which use the JNI to call native libraries (DLL files) under JDeveloper with JDK 1.2/1.3 it is necessary to edit your project properties. Add to the
Java VM Parameters, under the Run/Debug tab the following setting: -Djava.library.path=(Path where DLL files are located)".

Oracle 8i Lite version 4.0.1

Hello,
I've installed Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition (8.1.7) and i'm willing to install
the Oracle 8i Lite version 4.0.1 to sync with Pocket PC. The problem is that
this version is really old and it's compatable with NT, not with Windows 2000 (wich
is the OS i have).
The problem while installing is that Oracle Installer tells me that the Oracle Home
is currently used by 'Oracle 817 Production' and cannot be used as an Oracle Home for
'nt'.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Importing an oracle 8i database from Enterprise Version intot Oracle Lite

How do i get to import an Oracle 8i Enterprise Server database into an Oracle 8i lite server.
null

I have never done this..but it ought to be simple....
If you are only cocvern about the logical schema and the data in it..then I would simply export the database using export utility.
let say if user snawaz who owns the schema on you enterprise server ..then just make sure you have a user snawaz on the lite oracle..
also make sure user snawaz on both have enough priviledges to the database..
then simply do an export:
example:
from enterprise database:
exp snawaz/snawaz@sidname owner=snawaz
this will export all the schema owned by snawaz, then take the export file to oracle lite...
then do import
imp snawaz/snawaz@sidname
when it prompts for entire dmp file just say no and only import user and specify the user snawaz...
it should work fine..
If you need more comprehensive doc.let me kow
Good Luck

Performance Issues on Oracle Database Lite 10.3.0.3

Hello,
we have a big problem with one of our customers. He uses Oracle Database Lite in the standalone version. There are about 600 clients running a project with about 20 Publication Items. The customer works in the logistics field, so the Main time where nearly all clients want to sync and get their tours is from 02 AM to 05 AM, so that is the time with the most traffic.
Everything went well before last week. Suddenly the compose cycle needs (at least between that hours) about ten times longer than before. Normally we had about 40 - 80 seconds, now we have about 300 - 500 average with max values from over 1200 seconds.
Therefore we have a lot of conflicts and Disconnects on the clients. It is sometimes that bad, that nearly no client can sync successfully.
We checked our Selects in the publication Items, all are very fast and look good in the explain plan, so that shouldnt be the problem.
The installation is nearly in the Default state as oracle does when you install Oracle Lite. Are there any standard settings we can change? Does anyone had the same problem already?
The Machine is a Windows Server 2003 with an Intel Xeon CPU E7-4820 and 4 GB of RAM.
Of course our customer gets a lot of trouble because of that and we have to improve and fix that as fast as we can.
Any recommendation or opinions are very welcome.
If I have to give more Info about somewhat please feel free to ask, I will give it as fast as possible.
Thanks in advance
Holger

Hey,
many thanks for your proposals. The MGP runs every minute like the default settings are, because our application is a time sensitive. The data have to be very fast on the clients in the nights and thex are only a few minutes before available. I think the parameters are important in environemnts where the mgps runs only after a few minutes?
Let me summarize the situation since my las post:
We have days (nights) where everything goes quite well. Mainly that is thrusday and friday. But on the other hand, there are days where everything really is a mess.
The mgp caycles increase and when you look to mobile manager you see 70 clients syncing very very slowly (about 300 - 600 seconds) for just a little bit of data. Then we get the disonnects and the messages in the err.log.
What do you think, is this somehow network related, or ist this a logical problem in the Mobile Server itself?
Like postes earlier, there are 500 clients syncing against a standalone mobile server.
We just couldnt figure out, why the mgp times somehow and sometimes increase that much, that there are these problems.
First we thought, that they sync newly over wireless (GPRS or Edge) and that syncing is that slowly, that everything goes down, but arent sure. Is this possible because of the architecture of the Mobile Server? That a very slow network can slow down the mgps and that does timeouts and all the other stuff?
How many clients can a Standalone Mobile Server normally serve at same time without performance problems. What do you thin about the hardware I wrote? Is it powerful enough?

Oracle 8i Lite Start up

Hi everybody,
I've windows/2000 pro installed on my m/c. The client version of it.
I'm using this m/c to surf the net and do some MS Acesses development and VB development. Now, I'm trying to do something with Oracle 8i Lite. I've received oracle 8i Lite Version 4.0.0.2.0 for Micorosoft Windows NT from Oracle corp in CD.
I installed this software in my machine.
When I had Oracle 7 a year or long back, after the installation, I had start and stop icons to start the database and stop to shut down the database, but oracle 8i is not like that.
Now, I dont know how to start or configure the oracle db, and access the db using sql*plus so that I can create some stored procedures and call them from Sql*plus.
Could somebody throw some ideas to understand this Oracle 8i lite version.
Regards,
Suresh

You will have to be a bit more specific about the error messages you get. Did you start the database and listener?

Oracle 8i Lite Synchronizatoin Problem--Very Crucial and Urgent

Currently,we are using Oracle 8i lite Version Release 4.0.1 in
our project.
Following is the problem we are facing during Web-To-Go
Synchronization.
We have published about 200 snapshots of tables on the Web-to-go
server.
After Installing the Web-to-Go Client,
the first time we went Offline, both the webtogo.odb and the
user odb got downloaded to the client's machine.
the size of user odb was about 10.7 MB containing 200
snapshots,without any data and the application about 15 MB.
We checked up the odb using plus80 and verified that all the
tables have been created(200 snapshots+200 snapshot logs).
Once we went Online , a memory/application error (illegal
operation,unable to access memory) was displayed.The m1 file
also remained in the client's machine.
Basically the synchronization fails from client to server.
Everytime the synchronization is fine,if the odb needs to be
created freshly,but once created and synchronized,the same error
is displayed.
We tried publishing with a reduced no of tables,and it went on
fine with both offline and online up to a size 8.28MB,with
about 152 tables.
An increase of even 10 KB by an addition of 2 more tables,gives
out the same error.
The limit on the no of snapshots is specified as 256 per refresh
group.
We are using only 200 as of now and that should be ok.
Please let us know the possible reasons for such kind of a
problem.
Let us know in case of any other clarification regarding the
problem.
Is there any limitation or requirement at the client site,w.rt
memory?
Pls Help
Meena.

Oracle 9i lite connection with a Java Client

Hi,
I would like to connect a Java Client developed using PersonalJava edition for PDA with an Oracle 9i lite version which is also on PDA.
I would like to know is it possible to connect such a client (Java) using some JDBC drivers on PDA.
if yes please do suggest a suitable driver and some input tips as to how to connect a GUI developed in Java directly to Oracle on PDA.
I am not too sure whether some web/application server is required in the whole setup.
because in N-Tier Architecture we have a middle layer of Application /Web servers in between a client screen(usually a Browser) and Database.
but I am not aware weather it is possible to directly connect Java Swing or Client application as I mentioned above developed using Personal edition with a database using only some driver software but no other middle ware component in between.i.e forming a 2 tier client server model.
please do let me know your valuable suggestions at [email protected]
thanks,
Ashish

I connect to the database through the same user that created those tables. Do I still need a public synonym ?

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 Sqlplus connections

Hi
I am trying to run 2 concurrent sqlplus connections in Oracle 8i lite ... it works fine ... if I dont make any changes to database. But Once I commit the changes .... I am not able to make any more connections ....it gives OCA-30017 "Error Loggin on to non-oracle database" and fails connecting to oracle 8i lite. I am using the standard ODBC driver (Oracle Lite) to connect to sqlplus. Please help !!!
Thanks
Prabhu.

I am using Windows 2000 Professional and I am experiencing the same problem. I can connect to the POLITE database from Oracle8 Navigator and Oracle ODBC 32bit Test but not from SQL*Plus. Here is what I see:
Connected to:
Oracle Open Client Adapter for ODBC 6.0.5.29.0
Oracle Lite ORDBMS 4.0.1.0.7
SQL> connect system/mgr@odbc:POLite
Server not available or version too low for this feature
Connected.
SQL> connect system/mgr
ERROR:
ORA-12203: TNS:unable to connect to destination
Warning: You are no longer connected to ORACLE.
Should I try to upgrade my Open Client Adapater (OCA)? Could it be something with my PATH? How can I set up the default TNS to connect to POLITE? Any suggestions?
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Floyd Teter ([email protected]):
George,
Try the following host string: ODBC:POLITE
Lite typically uses the SID of POLite for installation of the default database, so this host string should do the trick. If not, drop me an email and we'll work through it together.
Hope this helps!

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
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.
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
reference off.
Would I be better off downloading and installing that
OracleXE 10 express version?
IMHO, last two questions are good reasons to use recent DB releases.
where I work with Oracle 9i each day.
Another good reason.
