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.

SQL Plus Error - "Can't open file" when spooling

Hi:
I have a user who is either able or unable to spool when running a script depending on what Oracle user she logs in as. She's always logging in as the same Linux user but connecting to Oracle as different Oracle users via SQL Plus. When spool files are created they are created with that user's account and group settings, so the OS account seems to be fine.
I'm having a problem with the idea that there is an Oracle role or something that controls this. Spool isn't UTL_FILE. Is this a SQL Plus application setting or something?
We're using Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
Thanks

Well, I'm working off an email so maybe they cut and pasted and maybe they didn't. They say the error is
spool error: "Cannot create spool file"
I'll have to recreate their situation and see what it really says. But either way, my confusion is how this same OS user can log in as a different Oracle user and spool away. Perhaps the comment above is correct. It worked the first time and they tried to run under the other account without removing the current file. I tend not to think so because these users have been running similar reports for years and they usually have to remove the old output file before re-running.

How to login as DBA in oracle 9i from sql plus .

how to login as DBA in oracle 9i from sql plus . ???

First you need to check whether your HR schema is still unlocked or not? If it is locked - then you have to unlock it. And, then you can connect the Hr schema.
But, i'm not sure - why you need system to log into the HR schema?

Logging into ORACLE 9I using SQL*PLUS.TNS Error

I have installed Oracle 9i for windows and am trying to login using SQL*PLUS
user: system
pwd: manager
Host String: BHURU
It says TNS could resolve service name.
I have all the services running in the admin monitor.
Am I missing something? Please advise.

Can you post your tnsnames.ora file contents and listener.ora contents here?
There may be tons of things wrong with the error actually,
ORA-12154:     TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Cause:     A connection to a database or other service was requested using a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a net service name then the net service name could not be found in a naming method repository, or the repository could not be located or reached.
Action:
- If you are using local naming (TNSNAMES.ORA file):
- Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA)
- Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper directory and is accessible.
- Check that the net service name used as the connect identifier exists in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
- Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the TNSNAMES.ORA file. Look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Errors in a TNSNAMES.ORA file may make it unusable.
- If you are using directory naming:
- Verify that "LDAP" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA).
- Verify that the LDAP directory server is up and that it is accessible.
- Verify that the net service name or database name used as the connect identifier is configured in the directory.
- Verify that the default context being used is correct by specifying a fully qualified net service name or a full LDAP DN as the connect identifier
- If you are using easy connect naming:
- Verify that "EZCONNECT" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA).
- Make sure the host, port and service name specified are correct.
- Try enclosing the connect identifier in quote marks. See the Oracle Net Services Administrators Guide or the Oracle operating system specific guide for more information on naming.

Clear Screen, Sql plus Error, in release 10.2.0.1.0

Hi there,
I'm having problem in using clear screen command in SQLPlus utility of Oracle Release 10.2.0.1.0. When executing clear screen in SQL Plus ( in command prompt) in windows machine, suddenly a dialogue box opens and saying that "SQLPlus encountered an error and sorry for inconvenience "
Is this the problem with OS or Oracle Client?
Could anyone please help me in resolving this issue?
Thanks
Raja

So that is the problem with Oracle client only, not with the OS configuration and all.... shall i assume?

Yes I realize that the JSERV is pointing in the incorrect are
the J drive is a flashdrive
In the Registry I have just deleted the 2nd Orahome directory which was on the J drive
so all I have now left is the Orahome directory on the C drive
how do I make corrections so that from now on the JSERV, Path, and WV_Gateway._CFG point to the C drive

You don't have to use a for loop to do the job, which is a slow process. try this instead.

SQL Plus error

I'm working with Ubuntu 10.04 Server.
I just installed Oracle XE 11g (11.2.0 specifically)
All I did was download the .rpm file and converted it to a deb (using alien) and then ran the deb (using dpkg). Everything seems to be installed fine however when I try to run sqlplus I get the following message:
Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus
SP2-0667: Message file sp1(lang).msb file not found
SP2-0750: You may need to set your ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory
However the oracle_env.sh states that ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe which is the correct path (at least I think it is). So does anyone know what the issue is?
Thanks

I've checked all of the log files in the log directory and there doesn't seem to have been any errors in them.That's good. So we can assume most things worked as intended.
Path looks wrong... But no idea how it got to be wrong or how to fix it.It does. Did you execute the following from Step 9)
echo "" >>./.profile
echo '. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh' >>./.profileThis should set up your environment as needed. In the guide, this had been done for the "oracle" user only. If you use a different account, you'll have to either source or include that environment script as well.
Please also check whether it has been created correctly by running
cat /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.shThe output should read
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe
export ORACLE_SID=XE
export NLS_LANG=`$ORACLE_HOME/bin/nls_lang.sh`
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATHThough possibly not mandatory, you could add
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/libto that script. This will set the library path to include the oracle libraries, such as client libraries.
LANG-settings are okay, by the way.

Not able to connect Oracle DBXE from sql*plus client

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 10gXE from oracle site. i have updated the tnsnames.ora also
but when i try to connect the db through sql*plus client, i am redirected to .net debugger.
Pls help me in this,
Thanks in advance.
-- Raja

Hello,
Can you clarify what you are trying to connect from? If it's B1 ( one ) then post to the [B1 forum|http://forums.sdn.sap.com/index.jspa#44].
Otherwise need more info on the product you are using?
Typically the Oracle Path must be in the PATH statement as well it requires the correct platform ( 32 or 64 ) bit client installed.
Most BOE/CR products are 32 bit so you need to install the 32 bit client.

Thank You for trying to help.
I did as you told me in your reply but I am sorry to tell
you that it did not worked.I steel demanded
Password.
If there is another thing that you forgot or you know
another way to solve that problem then I shall
be great thankful to you if you will let me know.
You can reply to E-Mail [email protected]
With Many Thanks and Great Respect
Menahem Sharon

it is very strange you still not got the solution because i read the sotion which work good on my system.
do you remember the password which you gave during the installation of oracle database on you system . If so then your system user pass will the same.
so when you click sql*plus enter user name => system
and in Password field enter the password which you gave during installation . If you gave no password during installation then the password of user 'system' will be 'manager' so enter this information. and do the same processes which I told you.
Thankyou.

First Login to Oracle 9i Personal SQL Plus after installation

I downloaded the Opacle 9i for Windows NT/2000/XP,3 ZIP
fiels andI extracted them into 3 special folders disk1,
disk2 and disk3 according the instructions.Also I
installed the JRE which is required for that.After the
installation of Oracle 9,when I wanted to use the SQL Plus
I could not do it because I had no the first login User
Name and Password.
For example,in Oracle 7 Personal for Windows 95 and in
Oracle 8i Personal for Windows 98,the first login User
Name is "scott" and the Password is "tiger".
I shall be great thankfull to you if you will let me know
how to perform the first login to the SQL Plus of Oracle
9i (User Name and Password).
With Great Respect
Menahem Sharon

in oracle9i all default users account are lock by default. so if you want to connect
first when you open sqlplus in user name type "/nolog"
sqlplus will open with no connection then issue the command.
conn / as sysdba
alter user scott account unlock;
conn scott/tiger
that is the procedure
