Oracle 8i Personal path statement

Hello,
I've installed Oracle 8i personal, and Oracle Navigator -- but now I can not start any of my databases. I think that Navigator overwrote my old autoexec.bat file and as such the old path statements are no longer there.
I can not find another autoexec.xxx file, so assume that a backup was not created.
Can someone tell me what the path statement should be in the autoexec.bat file?
Thanks in advance!

Listener is used to allow remote clients to connect to your local database.
Remote client connections to a local database is not supported with Oracle Personal edition.

Vij,
Assuming that Personal Oracle is up and running, you should check that the listener is running and listening on the port you are using.
You can check the status with the following command (from the DOS prompt): lsnrctl status
If the listener is not running start it with this command: lsnrctl start listener
You can also have it start automatically by modifying the registry entry LISTENER_STARTUP to "AUTO"
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORACLE\HOME0)
Hope this helps

Oracle 8i Personal Install corrupts Sun Java 2 development environment

I encountered no errors during installation of Oracle 8i Personal for Windows/NT; and the sample database appears fully functional.
However, the Sun Java 2 development kit (JDK 1.2) that I use for other projects is no longer functional. The registry appears to have been corrupted by the Oracle 8i installation. Now, whenever I attempt to run a Java 2 program I encounter the error:
"Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion'
has value '1.1', but '1.2' is required."
Does anyone have suggestions on how to cure this problem?
null

Although I installed 8i Lite rather than personal Oracle 8, my experience was unlike yours. My jdk2 never stopped working - although, when I think about it, I did have to immediately fix a bunch of problems I visually detected after the install.
After the installation, my Registry (on Win95) remained set correctly to version 1.2 of the javasoft runtime environment.
My autoexec.bat file however was badly trashed by the installer - my multiple classpath statements were all combined into one monolith at the end.
I hate products that silently overwrite carefully crafted key system files with no prior warning and no automatic backup process.
After an hour or two recovering the autoexec and setting environment variables for jdk 1.2, everything is fine with my jdk setup.
In the NT world, I can't help you with recovering your jdk2 environment. However, I'd check your environment settings on NT very carefully to ensure the installer hasn't wreaked havoc with them.
You can also try re-installing the jdk2 run time environment from sun's web site.
Good luck.

Connection to Oracle 8i personal default DB

Hi I am trying to connect to the default database on my laptop whcih is running Oracle 8i personal.
I use
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:oracle:oci8:@", user, password);
for my connection, but get the following error:
Failed to establish connection java.lang.unsatisfiedLinkError no ocijdbc9 in java.library.path
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Cheers
Andreas

You don't have the Oracle Client software installed :-)
If you don't want to use it, you need to specify a different protocol which does not need the client software:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@(hostname):1421:(sid)

Cannot install Oracle 8i (Personal Edition) 8.1.7 on Windows 98 (Second Edition)

Hello,
I am unable to install Oracle 8i Personal Edition on my Windows 98 (Second Edition) system. I have selected "typical" install. All the files get installed (100% complete) but then the Configuration Tool install phase fails to complete when installing Oracle Database Configuration Assistant. I get the following error message :
java.lang.NullpointerException
at DropOracle.QueryDB(Compiled Code)
at DeletePanel.InitControls(Compiled Code)
at DeletePanel.<init>(DeletePanel.java:100)
at DBCreateWizard.<init>(DBCReateWizard.java:569)
at DBCreateWizard.main(DBCreateWizard.java:1422)
The system just hangs with the "in progress" message.
The previous step -
The Net8 Configuration Assistant install completes successfully
(return code 0).
If anyone can help me resolve my problem it will be greatly appreciated.
Or if you could tell me which Oracle email address (or phone number) I should address my problem to it will be appreciated. I do NOT have a Oracle Support Licence (I only purchased the evaluation CD pack).
I have installed Java 2 (JDK 1.3) in a separate directory - but I understand Oracle 8i has its own version of JRE 1.1... in its own subdirectory structure ... so my JDK 1.3 should not be interfering with the Oracle 8i installation programs.
Many thanks in advance.

What is your RAM? I ran into the same problem, even though I had more RAM then required. I had to shutdown everything, make a very basic wallpaper that did not put too much strain on the system, then it installed.
Unistall Oracle, remove all the remaining files and the directory by hand. Also you have to remove any trace of Oracle in your regedit. Check if path to Oracle is still in autoexec.bat; if it is delete it - the Oracle path not the file. Reboot and then do Alt-Ctr-Del and turn off all the unecessary programs and try installing it again.
Hope it works.

Oracle 8i Personal Edition Installation on Windows ME

Hi,
I am assuming that Oracle 8i Personal Edition for Windows 98 will work on Windows Me too. First of all, is this assumption valid ? If yes, then I am facing a problem right at the start of the installation. After specifying the File location path (For source path, the default is 'C:\Program Files\Oracle\STAGE\products.jar'. I have not changed this. For destination path,(oracle home path), I am specifying it as 'C:\Program Files\Oracle'. After this I get an error as follows - 'There was a problem in accessing the staging area. Please make sure the specified values for 'Source' and 'Destination' are valid.'
I am stuck up at this point. Please let me know what could be the problem.

I had this same problem with this same installation on ME. After a smooth installation with PO 8, I suspected spaces in path names, since the 8i install appears to be java based. If you go into windows regedit (Win ME does not read from autoexec.bat), and search for oracle home, and all 'home' paths you have tried specifying in the initial 8i install interface, upon editing your oracle home path, you may find a space character discreetly tucked at the end of that path name. What's more, just correcting your paths through regedit may only temporarily solve your problem. Also search/correct your prompt. A quick verification of this is if, from a dos window, your prompt looks like:
C:\> _
(notice the space between the > and _ characters) I think this is either a MS bug, or an image disk install bug, and suspect, after reading of your same problem, it comes from MS.
Hope this helps,
KJ

Oracle 9i Personal Edition for Windows 98

I am having problems installing Oracle 9i Personal Edition for Windows 98. The install is hanging at the same place every time.
The installer works fine, but at the end of the install, when the Oracle Configuration Assistant tries to create the new database, the system "hangs". On a Gateway PC, there were fatal exceptions about VxD and vVMM. I finally had to power down the PC. I tried again and got the same error.
On a Compaq PC, when the Configuration Assistant started, it tried to access my floppy drive and opened a console window with "Abort, Retry, Fail". I chose "Abort" and the configuration continued, but the system hung when trying to start the Oracle instance.
I am evaluating different software packages and need to install Oracle in order to test them.
Thanks for your help.

if you go to iSelfSchooling.com, you will find Oracle Installation Issues on Windows. It gives a list of "default usernames and passwords" and also states that you can leave the HOST name blank to get at the starter database.

Forms 6.0/Oracle 8i Personal

I have Forms 6.0 installed from Developer 6.0 CD on a Windows 98 desktop. I recently installed Oracle 8i Personal Edition. I had to install 8i in a new Oracle Home because the UOI is not compatible with the installer used for Developer 6.0. I am now trying to connect to the Personal Oracle 8i database from the Forms Builder 6.0 . Is this possible? I have tried editing the tnsnames.ora file in the oracle home where the Forms 6.0 lives, but haven't had any luck.

It is easier to use developer 6i. 8i and 6i can find each other without having to change anything in the listeners or tns.names.

Oracle 9i Personal Edition

I REALLY need to get this installed, see previous message below. Can anyone help.

I downloaded Oracle 9i Personal edition from Oracle.com.
Installed the same on Win Me with a starter database.
I am not able to open the database since it asks me to enter a password which i've never entered.
I am not able to create a session. The moment I try to create a session on SQL, the database starts opening but i cannot get further since it asks for the password.
Please Help. Try using the generic username of scott & the generic pw of tiger. Hope this helps Hi,
Try this from dos prompt
c:\> set oracle_sid=<sid_value>
c:\> sqlplus system/manager
Can you elaborate what you meant when you say "the database starts opening" ? What is the error number and error message you are getting?
