Oracle 9i Lite Licensing Question

In my applictaion I plan to use only The local Oracle Lite Database. (Not the mobile server or sync or anything).
Do the same licensing rules apply or can this be included free of charge if they customers have their oracle server licenses?

The installation media can be downloaded from the following link:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html
You will need to agree to the OTN license agreement before you download the software. The install media contains Personal, Standard or Enterprise. Each edition contains the SQL Worksheet.
If you install the database on your PC, the install will include the client tools to connect to the database so there is no need to do a separate client install on the same machine.

Oracle 8i Lite login question

I have installed Oracle 8i Lite on my notebook computer running Windows 98. When I tried to login to a SQl*Plus session (using all of the combinations of default usernames/passwords, I get the error message: "ORA-12203: TNS: Unable to connect to destination" Would appreciate any insights as to how to proceed further. Also--is it necessary to type something in the "Host String" field?

I have installed Oracle 8i Lite on my computer, which has Windows 98. But I have been unable to access the database after trying several combinations of usernames & passwords such as tiger/scott and system/manager, among others. I must be missing a step somewhere in this process. I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions. Try "SYSTEM/P".

Oracle 10g XE // Licensing question

Hi,
as far as i got till ow, the XE seams to be only limited in 3 ways:
- max 4GB user data
- max 1GB RAM actively used
- max 1 Processor used
However, this leads to some questions for me:
1. what is a "processor" defined as ? i this 1 cpu including multi cores or is this just 1 core? (regarding the new Xeons we have e.g. 2 CPUs with 2 Cores each with Hyperthreading makes em 4 Cores on each physical CPU)
2. can multi XE be used for ditributed DB's ?
e.g. we have say 2 servers - 1 at company A (production and research) and 1 at company B (part production needed for comp. A). can they be connected together so that the main-DB is at company A and company B only has a part of the DB at company A? e.g. company A hast say 100 tables in their DB but B has only 15 tables to access and stored local for caching ? - if these distributed scenarios are possbiel, could you please point me to the docs for it?
Best Regards,
Korbinian

. what is a "processor" defined as I believe a dual core processor is counted as two CPU (that's certainly how Oracle calculate th elicencing for regular 10g). In the case of XE I think they've frigged the database so it will only use one CPU no matter how many CPUs the server actually has.
2. can multi XE be used for ditributed DB's ?As far as I'm aware you should be able to do single master replication with XE but not multi-master. But then most sensible people would not want to do multi-master replication anyway. You may find this article by Lewis Cunningham informative. The docs on replication are here.

Database Lite License and App Tutorial

Hello,
I'm looking for information regarding oracle database lite licensing and if any one could provide me with demo/tutorial on an application built using oracle jdev with ADF for mobile that uses oracle lite.
Currently I have developed a demo mobile browser application (using oracle ADF) that does not use oracle lite and works only in connected mode. Any documentation on how to go about with oracle lite and work on offline mode/ synchronization would help me.
I have a fair idea on licenses, Please correct me if I'm wrong or require any other,
Oracle Database Enterprise or Standard Edition,
Oracle Mobile Server,
Oracle Weblogic Server,
ADF Runtime licenses
Greatly appreciate your input.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
Related to Oracle Lite you need to license:
- the Oracle Lite Mobile Server
- the Oracle Lite client (for each device)
If you want to have an aproach check any online store of Oracle, but anyway you will have to contact an Oracle Partner for licensing, discounts, etc... if your partner know about mobile ;-)

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

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

Oracle Lite licensing

I would like to know if buying oracle lite licenses for our remote users than I have to pay the same number of licenses for Enterprise database server which synchronizes data with Olite via Mobile Server. For example : With 1000 remote users (with 1000 Olite licenses) have I to pay also unlimited enterprise database license, or I can pay only one enterprise license or nothing ?
Thanks for the attention.

License for Oracle Database Lite 10g Embedded?

Hi
I found Oracle Database Lite 10g Embedded SDK at the
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/lite/embedded.html
Look like that it is possible to use embedded Oracle Lite database in standalone applications.
I have win32 application with Oracle Lite support.
Now I'd like create public demo version of this application but can not found LICENSE for this possibility.
And what about possibility using embedded Oracle Lite database in commercial products?
Do I need buy some license for it, or users have to buy them?
Thank you,
Siarhei Berdachuk

Thank you for response.
Do this words: "You can download the base installs and run the demos though." means that I can download Oracle Database Lite 10g Embedded SDK, and create my demo (trial) applications with embedded Oracle Lite dll's without paying anything, and users have to pay for per User or CPU license only after buying my application?
Thank you,

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

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.

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.

Oracle 8i Lite and Palm, Windows CE and EPOC

This may be a simple question to developers (which I am not), but we have a client who is seeking advice regarding the use of Palm Pilots, Psion or similar devices for field recording of data.
Their database is Oracle 7.3.4 (soon to be upgraded to 8) with development done in Forms 5. I understand that Oracle 8i Lite enables a database of this vintage to be used in conjunction with the handhelds, but I do not understand the process.
Is Oracle 8i Lite loaded onto the handheld? Or is it used to convert the required tables and forms into cut down versions for the limited use by the smaller device?
What is the role of the host PC for the smaller devices?
I guess - how does it work in layman's terms.
I hope someone can help.
Thanks.

We haven't tried 8i Lite on a palmtop. But we are trying to use it over the Internet and we are having some problems. Have you used 8i Lite over the Internet?!?
Thanks..

Oracle 8i Lite problems

Hello,
I just installed Oracle 8i Lite on Windows XP Professional. I have some trouble with local databases, connecting to them, defining TNS, and Listeners.
Ok question is realy simple, how to i connect to Local database i create myself, and how to i access it trough SQL Plus?
When i create my local database called "test" i define TNS and listeners as stated in manual. When i try to connect trough Navigator, it simply works sometimes, but sometimes it just freezes. I cant test it trough TNSPING because all the time i get error TNS:No Listener.
I hope my questions are clearly understandable
Thanks in advanced for any help provided

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
Note:94484.1
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.

Installing Oracle 9i Lite on Pocket PC

Only a couple of the executables seem to work right after I run the install. I keep getting errors about picking the application that will run them. Anyone else get this running? If someone has a better install and config doc than is in the Oracle doc, that would be even better. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I have not yet installed Oracle 9i Lite on a Pocket PC. I also ran into some issues with the product.
You may want to contact Oracle Corporation directly at [email protected] for detailed questions regarding Oracle9i Lite.
Good Luck.

Oracle 9i Lite Installation Problems

Hello, I'm installing Oracle 9i Lite Version over Windows XP. When I'm connecting the mobile server (like an apache server's module) to the repository, I write in my browser:
"http://<mobile_server_name>:<port_number>/webtogo/startup"
and the response of the browser is: "The requested URL was not found on this server". Someone knows, what's the problem?. What's the mobile server name and its port number?.
Thank you.

Jorge,
You can check the tnsnames.ora file for the Mobile Server name and port number. Once you find the correct server and port information, please point your browser to:
http://<Mobile Server>:<port>/webtogo
for the Web-to-Go home or
http://<Mobile Server>:<port>/webtogo/setup
for the client download page.
Please let me know if you have additional questions.
