Oracle 8i Lite usage

Hi,
1.Is there any upper limit on the storage capacity of Oracle 8i Lite?
2.Can oracle 8i lite be used for storing large amount of data say in the order of 100MBs or so ?
Thanks and regards,
Gane.

Hi,
I am qouting below from the oracle 8i Lite documentation which says it supports triggers . Please clarify.

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

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.

How do I create a db in Oracle 9i Lite?

I have used Oracle 8i Lite on handheld computers in a replicated environment for quite some time now. I am in the middle of setting up a demo tablet computer, but since Oracle 8i Lite is no longer downloadable from the Oracle website, I instead downloaded 9iLite. When I went to install it, my options were Mobile Server and Mobile Development Kit. I went ahead and followed the install wizard without choosing either one of these two options, thinking I would just get the plain Oracle Lite database environment. After the install completed successfully, I went to look for Oracle Navigator and where the Polite.odb was located, but no where do these two items seem to be installed (or copied to).
Somewhere in this forum, a person posted that 9iLite needs 8iLite to be installed already in order to use the basic database functionality. Is this the case? Is there anyway to create a database using my create table script for all the tables in my db. I could see that SQL Plus is installed, which is the app I used to run the script in 8iLite.... but you already need a database to log into in order to run SQL Plus.
How do I create a database in Oracle 9iLite.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
PS: I am somewhat in a hurry, since my demo unit needs to be done by the end of the weekend..... I really did not anticipate this trouble with 9iLite.

Sure but you break the license, or forgive me and a did a mistake

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

Error while installing Oracle Database Lite 10.2.0.1.1 for Win

Hello,
I am trying to install Oracle Database Lite 10.2.0.1.1 on Windows XP. I am going according screens on this page:
http://www.oraclebrains.com/2008/07/installing-oracle-database-lite-10g-release-3-mobile-server/
But at Step:12 - Mobile Server repository Wizzard after password enter I get error --- Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection. May I insert specific password for Username SYSTEM? Or where is problem?
Thanks for hint
David

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.

Branch office installation of Oracle 8i Lite

I have developed a Java application using Oracle 8i Lite. I know, how to extract a required datbase file and supporitng run time files using deploy utility for stand alone machine. Thus, i can zip and send those file by email or thru web server to the client for installation on stand alone machine.
Since we can not use the Web to GO server, we want to send the Branch office database and its run time files (Only required files for running and not for developing) for server as well as for client to work in the LAN in the same manner as how deployed on stand alone machine without sending the Oracle lite CD and without using the Web to GO server.
In short, we want to install the Branch office Database machine files and Branch office client files by sending only required files in email without using web to go server and without sending Oracle lite CD.
Advance thanks for your valuable reply.

It would help if you told us the exact problem description and ... post in the correct forum. This forum is dedicated to oracle on apple's macosX.
What is the problem ?

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?

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.

Sequencing and Trigger on Oracle 9i lite database

We created a schema (TESTSCHEMA) on Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise edition and have a created a trigger which will use the sequence object to generate primary key for the table (TEST_TABLE)
Sequence creation:
CREATE SEQUENCE TESTSCHEMA.TEST_TABLE_SEQUENCE START WITH 6000 INCREMENT BY 1 MINVALUE 6000 MAXVALUE 6999 NOCACHE NOCYCLE NOORDER ;
Trigger creation:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TEST_TABLE INSERT BEFORE INSERT ON TEST_TABLE FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
pkValue NUMBER;
BEGIN
pkValue := 0;
Select TEST_TABLE_SEQUENCE.NextVal into pkValue from dual;
:NEW.TEST_KEY := pkValue;
END TEST_TABLE_INSERT;
We have created a snapshot of the schema on mobile server, synchronized the data with the client (Win32 for testing purpose).
The trigger works fine on the server, but when I run the same query on the lite database with msql it gives me an error:
[POL-3221] null key in primary index
I was wondering if Sequence generation and Triggers are supported on Oracle 9i lite database ? Or am I missing out something ??
Any information/ help is appreaciated
Thanks
Neeraj

You can't use SAVEPOINT / ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT statements in the database trigger:
ORA-04092: cannot SET SAVEPOINT in a trigger
ORA-04092: cannot ROLLBACK in a trigger
I am not sure what you need exactly, but you can try this:

Oracle 9i Lite SYNC Error in PALM

Hi,
I have Installed Oracle 8.1.6 Server in a Machine & Oracle 9i Lite 5.0 in a Machine, when i try ro connect & SYNC with my PALM Device OS 3.5 i get a [CNS-2000] Server send Error - 9025:0
Message, check log in the PALM device using mSYNC.
I have installed the Patchset 5.0.0.4 and have done all the settings related to the configuration.
Kindly help as it is very urgent to establish the connection SYC between the PALM & the Oracle.
Thaks & Regards,
Viswanathan

If this is happening on the upload of the data from the client, it is normally due to a mismatch between the DDL of the publication item and the corresponding in queue table (CFM$WTGPI_nnnnn).
Have you made changes on the server to the table/view definitions?
If so then have you re-published? If there is data in the in queue or error queue it will sometimes not refresh the mobileadmin tables with the changed columns/data types, although if you use API's i believe you may be ok. If there is no mismatch on the server, what about the format of the table on the client? it may be trying to upload some changes

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 - No listener

Hi.
I've just installed Oracle 8i Lite. When I try to access my database using Sql Plus, I got the message No listener. If I take a look at my services (under Windows 2000 Pro), there's nothing like Oracle.. :(
I dont even have a file named "lsnrctl*.*" on my system. I've try to reformat my system, then reinstall Oracle 8i Lite and the same thing happens... Am I missing something or what? Thanks for any help. I really have to test this before we plan to buy a lot of licence for or mobile users. Thanks.

hello,
when you start your sqlplus program you just type system for username,manager for password,odbc:polite for host string and you can go in..
good luck
can you do a favour to me.can you tell me how oracle8ilite works with mobile if i have a mobile phone and an oracle lite database.

Oracle 8i Lite: TNS error (ORA-12203)

Hi,
I Have Installed oracle 8i Lite for win 98/and palm operating system on a WIN 98 , pentium III machine. THE INSTALLATION IS SMOOTH. I am able to see the database and users through the Oracle Navigator. But when i try to connect through sql*plus i get
TNS-12203 TNS:unable to connect to destination error
1)How to find whether oracle services are runnong or not?
2)how to start listener on this 8i lite
3)I have also tried creating service name with bequath protocol
nothing works
Pls Help. Any lead is appreciated

Hi
Your oracle database and forms are installed on different oracle home so when you configurate your sql net that time you are configurating only your oracle database. So for form you must be having different oracle home. you cand change thid from start/oracle inatallation products/home selecter. so change our home and run the form. and if still having problem than check for tnsnames.ora file you must be having two files and both must be having right configuration.
thanks

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?
