Oracle 8i Lite - SQLPlus 8.0 Connect

I am running Windows 98 and Oracle8i Lite. I have been trying to launch SQLPlus 8.0 from Oracle 8i Lite. I typed SCOTT for a username and TIGER for a password, but I could not figure out what I am supposed to type for the HOST STRING. I researched the on-line documentation that came with the software, but the documentation does not have adequate explanation; it is too general to be helpful. I am not interested in getting connected to any external databse. I am just trying to obtain the SQL prompt SQL>. I would appreciate it if anyone could provide me with suggestions on how to resolve this problem.
Thanks!

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?

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 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 ?

Problem connecting Oracle 9i Lite to Oracle 9i Database

Hi,
I have just started working with Oracle 9i Lite and I am having
problems connecting to an Oracle 9i (9.0.1) database using the
packaging wizard. I can connect ok using SQL*Plus but when I connect
using this wizard the database is located i.e. no errors arise, but
the database schemas and tables are not found i.e. list is not
popluated.
However if I try to connect to an Oracle 8i (8.1.7) database there is
no problem and the schemas and tables are found with the list being
popluated.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Regards
Andrew.

I am having a similar problem, where I couldn't connect to Oracle 8i database (817). I am getting a error message when I tried to use Packaging Wizard -> Snapshot -> Import -> Username/password and jdbc:oracle:oci8:@connect string or jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:1521:Sid
The error message is 'No Suitable Driver. Make Sure the Proper JDBC drive for "jdbc:oracle:oci8i:@<connect string>" is in the classpath"
I would appricated if someone can send me any help on this.
My email address is [email protected]
Thanks

Oracle 8i Lite connection problem

I'm trying to make connection with Oracle 8i Lite native jdbc driver. I'm getting error "Unable to find driver oracle.lite.poljdbc.POLJDBCDriver" when pressing Test button.
olite40.jar is in IDEClassPath in jdeveloper.ini and Oracle 8i Lite is in Default Project Libraries.
What I've missed?

If you have added the Olite40.jar file to the IDE_CLASSPATH setting in the jdeveloper.ini file, make sure you restarted JDeveloper after editing the ini file.
Also, make sure you specity 'Olite40.jar' not 'olite40.jar' (watch the case of the archive file name).

JDeveloper - Oracle 8i Lite Connection Problem

I am trying to connect to Oracle 8i Lite database on my local machine (NT as the OS) from JDeveloper 3.1.1.2, I am getting "Network adapter could not establish connection" error. I can not even do Net8 Easy Config as I have no idea what the SID name is as 8i Lite installation did not ask for any SID name and it just created the polite databse (which works fine from ODBC).
What is the default SID name for 8i Lite ?
How to fix this probelm. Any help is greatly appreciated. VR.

There is some more work you need to do to make JDeveloper work with Oracle Lite. Details are in an earlier response to a similar problem:

How to install Oracle Lite ODBC driver without connecting the mobile server

My Oracle Lite version is 10g R3.
I am using branch office version application.
I wanted to connect oracle client database(.odb file) via Lite DSN in a windows XP machine without installing the client in that device.
Some of my users wanted to access the client database from backend which requires a DSN entry in that device.Oracle Lite ODBC gets registered in the device only when we do a setup from the mobile server or if Oracle 10g Lite MDK is installed.
I do not want either of this to be done in my user PC. I wanted a ODBC utility which will register oracle Lite ODBC Driver (Normal & Cleint) in the user PC so that i can manually create and configure the DSN.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Regards,
Ashok Kumar.G

Dear Sir,
Yes, you can find the Driver here

ODBC connections to Oracle 9i Lite

i'm currently using oracle 9i Lite 5.0.2 database and Palm OS 5.1. can any body send me a sample code in JAVAwith which i can connect to Oracle Lite database in my palm from a PALM Application using ODBC.

I am running the OBIEE software on Windows XP Professional on a laptop. An Oracle 10.2.0.1 EE database also resides on this machine.
My TNSNAMES.ora file is located in one of my Oracle Homes but I have a system environment variable set for TNS_ADMIN. I am using the default listener installed with the preconfigured database, and I can connect to the database ok from the PC using SQL*Plus, TOAD etc. I have also tried connecting to the ODBC data source set up for this 10g db from within Excel with no problems.
The System DSN entry called ORCLSH uses the driver 'Oracle in OraDB 10g_home1'. I have tried the ODBC driver with both a username entered and not. The TNS entry alias ORCLSH is used, which matches my TNSNAMES.ora file entry in the location designated by TNS_ADMIN. My db service name is ORCL. The parameters in the data connections are left are their defaults, i.e., enable result sets, enable query timeout, enable thread safety - all checked.
The connection pool has been named ORCLSH too. I'm using Call interface ODBC 3.5, max connections 10, data source name ORCLSH. Shared login - checked, enable connection poolng - checked, use multithreaded connections - checked, execute queries asynchronously - checked, parameters supplied - checked (defaults).
The writeback tab has been left alone (prefix TT, bulk insert buffer size 32, trx boundary 10).
What other parameter details do you need to know, other that what details I have previously provided?
Cheers,
John

When using Oracle 8i Lite (4.0.x.x.x) with JDeveloper,
you have to:
1) If under JDK 1.1,
1a) make sure that your %ORACLE_HOME%\bin directory is in your
path.
1b) Add OLITE40.JAR and OLJDK11.JAR to the IDEClassPath in
JDEVELOPER.INI (remember, ya gotta have
the stuff in your classpath for it to work!)
2) If under JDK 1.2
2a) Add your %ORACLE_HOME%\BIN directory to the JLP and SLP
sections under [Ferrari]
2b) Add OLITE40.JAR to the IDEClasspath.
The reason for 2a is that under JDK 1.2, the call
"System.loadlibrary(xxx)" does not use the path to look for the
DLL. Only the system property "java.library.path" and
"sun.boot.library.path" Each of these two settings must
be set for it to work.

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)".

Hi,
I have the same problem but, how can i know what my SID is ? i am trying with "ORCL" and it doesnt work.
Do you know in which file i can get it ? in the documentation of the installation i found this:
"If you are not sure of the values to enter for the URL, then you can query the data dictionary to obtain these values.
Connect as SYSTEM and run the following queries.
To retrieve the SID, execute: select instance_name from v$instance;
If you need to retrieve the port number, check the listener.ora file on the
back-end database."
But how can i query the database if i have not finished to install it yet and where is located the listener.ora file ?
I hope you can help me.
Thank you.

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.
