Oracle 9i and Oracle Developer 6i

Hi,
I currently have Developer 6i installed on my laptop. I would like to install Oracle 9i on my laptop as well but I have some connectivity concerns. If my install of Developer 6i has already defined ORACLE_HOME, then I would need to install Oracle 9i on a seperate ORACLE_HOME. If that is the case, how would I be able to connect to my database using SQLPLUS or FORMS if ORACLE_HOME is not pointing to my 9i instance?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for responding Joel. Unfortunately your scenario will only work if Oracle 9i is installed first. The problem is the installer for Developer 6i doesn't let you choose an installation directory, and since Oracle classifies Developer 6i as a "version 7.x - 8.x" software product, you cannot use the same ORACLE_HOME directory as 9i. Therefore in order to install 6i, you have to make sure that 9i is not installed. But if you install Developer 6i first it, and NOT 9i, gets registered as ORACLE_HOME. Thats my problem.

  • Installing Oracle Database and SQL Developer

    Hi, I was looking for some help/advice in regards to installing an Oracle Database and SQL Developer onto a Windows 7 32bit machine. I have been asked to create a database to store data that I create through reports in Excel so I am required to create a local database but not sure how to go about doing this. Also not sure if I install the Express Edition or Oracle Database 11g R2. If somebody could please advise on how I can get this started or even any links/tutorials that would guide me in how to get this installed with a localhost.
    Thanks in advanc.

    Thanks guys, I have managed to install Oracle 11gR2 and I have setup a database using the dbca tool and I can connect to my new database. One thing that I have noticed is that when i look into my tables in sql developer i see loads of different tables i.e. def$_, logmnr_, etc and I am not sure why this is as I expected an empty tablespace.
    Thanks btw for all your help.
    One of the key principles of relational databases is that they use their own facilities to manage themselves.  That means the database management system uses the database to manage data about the database using exactly the same facilities (tablespaces, tables, user accounts, procedures, etc) that an application uses to keep data for the application. See "data dictionary"   So there is no such thing as a completely empty database.
    As said by others, you do NOT want to be creating your own tables under oracle's schemas (users) or in oracle's own tablespaces (esp. SYSTEM and SYSAUX).  Create your own user account/schema.  Create your own tablespace. Make that tablespace the default for that user.

  • Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms

    Hi,
    Does anyone have experience with Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms?
    I have generated a form, which is based on a view. The view uses the mdsys.sdo_relate operator. Somehow I am unable to get the form to perform (to get one record it takes over 20 minutes). While useing sql-navigator to process the same statement it seems no problem. The query that also uses the view, is then processed in 10 seconds.
    I also noticed that when text-functions like ' lower' of ' upper' are used to query the view, the query is processed within 15 seconds. If I don't use ' lower' or ' upper' it takes a long time (> 20 minutes) to process the query. Is it possible that this causes the bad performance of the form?
    On metalink I have found that forms and spatial do not cooperate because of the pl/sql version that
    forms6 uses. There is no solution presented, does anyone know of a work around?
    My configuration is:
    Oracle 8.1.7 on WIN2K @ PIII-800Mhz 256 Mb memory.
    Formsbuilder 6
    If requested I can post the queries that I have made.

  • Differences between Oracle BAM and Oracle BI and Question BAM  Data Objects

    Hi,
    I have two questions.
    1. Can someone tell me differences between Oracle BAM and Oracle BI?
    My understanding about Oracle BAM is, we use BAM to build Dashboards or Reports.
    We can also build DashBoards or reports using Oracle BI.
    I am not able to understand why Oracle has two tools for same purpose?
    Which tool is more powerful and user friendly(Oracle BI or Oracle BAM)?
    2. Every time we plan to develop Dashboard or report in BAM, we need to create BAM ADC Data Object to store Data (i.e first step is to get data from external database or application and second step is to store data in BAM ADC data object).
    My understanding is we have an extra step(i.e creating Data Object) in Oracle BAM to develop a report or DashBoard
    I am wrong pl correct me?
    Regards,
    Shanti Nagulapalli.

  • Conflict between oracle 8 and oracle 11

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem installing oracle 8 and oracle 11 homes at the same time. It looks like the system can only recognize one of the homes. I have 2 different applications running in the same computer. One of them uses oracle 11 and the other oracle 8. The problem is, the one with the oracle 8 can't recognize it, and tries to use the 11, saying it doesn't support the connection. I've checked the registry info and it looks like there is only one Home specified. Should I create a new one? More over, when i use the home selector it says there's only one home available.

    Yea they are, I even tried to use a script similar with:

    cd "app_folder"
    app.exe
    EXIT
    to make sure the variable with be the correct when we tried to open the application. I can use the application linked to the oracle 11 but, when i try to get in the other it gives me the following error:
    The procedure entry point orasql10.sqlxss could not be located in the dynamic link library orasql8.dll.When you change the environment variables in a command line window (run cmd.exe), the changed variable values only exist in that command line window, but those environment variables are inherited by other programs started from the command line window. If the Oracle 8i client is normally listed first in the PATH environment variable, and you want to execute another program that requires the 11g client, you will need to repeat the above steps for the second program.
    You can use a program named Dependency Walker to see which DLL files will be accessed by a program (or even a DLL such as ORASQL10.DLL). In the case of a DLL, you would be able to determine if a specific function name sqlxss (ordinal 183 in this case) exists in that DLL. The Dependency Walker program typically ships with Microsoft's development environments. You can find out more about that program here:

  • 32 Bit Installation or Oracle Linux and Oracle Database 10g

    I have an old E-Machine that I wanted to put Oracle Linux and Oracle Database Express 11G on. I was just wanting to do some testing and development on the system. I'm pretty sure the machine is 32bit.
    I just burned a copy of 32 bit Oracle Linux onto a CD. Is there a version of Oracle Database Express that will run on it?
    It seems like there is only a 64 bit version of Oracle Express Database 11g. Is Oracle Database Express 10g installable on Oracle Linux 32 bit?
    Let me know! Thanks in an advance.

    One (or two) caveats with the 10g version, XE can not be patched and the 10.2.0.1 XEs were created before the current daylight savings time rules went into effect.
    If you have access to My Oracle Support there is a method to get updated timezone files for the oracle binaries, you need at least version 4 of the DST files. I've got the MOS docIDs somewhere let us know if needed and I'll dig 'em up.

  • Select query differences between oracle 9 and oracle 8.

    Hi,
    I have a problem using the select query between oracle 7 and oracle 9i I don't have the same result :
    ex:
    With oracle7
    SQL> select 'champ1','champ2' from DUAL;
    'CHAMP 'CHAMP
    champ1 champ2
    With Oracle 9
    SQL> select 'champ1','champ2' from DUAL;
    'CHAMP1' 'CHAMP2'
    champ1 champ2
    So Can someone tell me how to solve this problem ? Is there a parameter in oracle 9 to set?
    Thanx.

    Whenever you are posting anything over internet forums like this - you should be very careful about not just posting the details which requires to solve the problem - also should be sensible about your question.
    This is not at all desired when you are posting such question. It may be because - you may not well aware of the fact.
    My suggestion is -> First Go through the basics Of SQL in general.
    Then go for any specific product like Oracle/ SQL Server/ Sybase etc.
    And, finally learn the advanced commands of that DB.
    You asked it - may be you thought the difference in output in terms of lines. But, that is not your actual output. That is the graphical display part only.
    Anyway,
    You can get the quite familier output by first type the following command ->
    set lin 310Regards.

  • Architectural Difference between Oracle 8i and Oracle 9i

    hello there
    anybody can tell me precisely what is the architecture difference in Oracle 8i and Oracle 9i.
    or provide me the link where i can get it.
    waiting for reply

    What do you mean by "architectural differences"? Fundamentally, Oracle architecture hasn't changed a whole lot in a couple of decades. Certain implementations within the overall Oracle architecture will change over time, normally to support some new feature.
    Locally managed tablespaces, for example, automatic segment space management, and automatic extent allocation are pretty important new features, but they don't fundamentally change the architecture of allocating space for objects to store data.
